THE MAXWELL TRIAL.
a Large Crowd Expecting Sensational
Testimony.

a Large Crowd Expecting Sensational
Testimony.
Sr. Louis, Mo, May 24.-The rumor
that witness who is said to have seen
Maxwell make an attempt 10 murder Pfeller
in Boston previous to the arrival of either
of them in this city would testify in Max
wells case, drew larger crowd to the
Criminal Court this morning than has been
present at any time since the opening Of
the case. But their desire for the sensa.
tional story had, sp to noon, not been graft
fed, for the testimony taken this morning
differed hut little from that of previous
days.
A. A. Miller, IA druggist, testified that
Maxwell. accompanied by man whom he
supposed was Preler, had come to his store
on Easter Sunday 1885, at about l;30
o'clock in the afternoon, and called for
something to quiet the nerves. Witness
prepared mixture and gave il to the de-
fendsnt. The man whom he supposed was
Preller purchased several toilet articles and
paid for them, exhibiting at the time a
large amount of money; saw the two men
afterwards at cigar stand in the Southern
Hotel buying cigars Preller paid
that bill also. Cross-examination
developed nothing new. Angus; Bengel
testified that the defendant came to his
shooting gallery. on the evening of Easter
Sunday, about $50 o'clock, and shot at a
target several times. His aim was un.
steady and he seemed nervous and ex.
cited, also appeared to be under the in.
aueDce of liquor. The superintendent OF
the raorgue, to which Preler's dead body
was taken, was recalled and testified that
the lip of the deceased appeared as il q
heavy black moustsohs had been shaved
from it. A clerk in the morgue corro5or
sted this statement.

A BLOODY RIOT
Among Railroad Employees on the
O. r. R. r.
SEVERAL MEN REPORTED DEAD.
Hard Cider Causes Fight in Which Picks,
ShoVeIs, Knives and Pistols
Figure.
!Special 10 the REGISTER.

PARKERsBURG, May PA murderous
riot occurred yesterday evening on the
Ohio River Railroad extension, at the
Congrove farm. just above Murrsyville.
A number OF Italian employees in the
King & Dyer contract got possession OF
two kegs of hard cider sometime in the
day, and taking it into the orchard, were
having a picnic among themselves when
a disagreement followed, and then as q
matter of course, fight. Picks, shovela,
knives aud pistols were drawn and used,
and the fight became general. After q
cessation Of hoslilities the Dagos went
around and picked up the killed and
wounded.
A report is in circulation that three men
were killed outright, but that is disbelieved,
One man, however, was certainly killed
and at least three dresdtulIy, and perhaps
fatally wounded, while almost every other
one engaged in the riot carries his neigh.
boris trade mark inscribed with knife, pis
tol, ball or club. The scene at the time
the fght was going on is described as de-
monisc, not little increased by the ex.
travsganzs of Italian oaths. The names
of the parties killed and wounded could
not be remembered by the informant.

CROP SUMMARY.
The Chinch bug Reported Doing Injury
in Some Localities.

The Chinch Bug Reported Doing Injury
in Some Localities.
CHICAGO May 2l-Tne following crop
summary will appear in this weeks iasue Of
the Farmers Review:
The crop bulletins from the spring and
winter wheat belts east of the Rocky noun
tains show no especial change from that Of
last week beyond the fact that the damage
is reported by chinch bugs in portions of
Kansas and Southern Illinois. In Bond,
Hamilton aud Richland counties in South
era Illinois the ravsges By these insect5 is
stated to be quite serious aud the general
outlook in that portion OF the State is not
as promising as one month ago. In John
SON and Osborn counties, in Kansas, the
Hessian fly and chinch bug are reported
to be causing great injury in the fields,
which escaped winter killing. In Allen
and Wysndotte counties, in Ohio, the pres.
ence OF grasshoppers is noted, but not yet
in such numbers as to occasion any serious
damage. Reports Of damage to the grow.
ing grains By continued rain storms come
from portions OF Ohio and Nebraska. The
reports from Dakota and Minnesota as to
the spring wheat prospects are Of most
encouraging character. The plant is
growing nicely, aud the conditions are all
favorable for good stand. In Nebraska
the small grains are just beginning to
show, and are looking well.
The reports from Iowa embrace eight.
counties, and the prospects both Gs to
wheat and corn continue very good. The
reports from Indiana are all of favorable
tenor. 1t is disclosed in a general way,
that o finer growth of vegetation was prob
ably never before known in that State at
this season of he year. In Missouri, Ken
lucky and Tennessee, harvest will begin
fully ten days earlier than usual. The
wheat in the fields of the three States is
reported to be heading out finely. The
wheat prospects in Michigan show no i'm
provement over former reports The pros-
poets is not good for anything more than
fair average.

WAR ON THE RAILS.
The L. s. and NJ. s. Employees Blockade
the Pennsylvania Railroad at Erie.

The L. s. and NJ. s. Employees Blockade
the Pennsylvania Railroad at Erie.
ERIE, May 24.-Active trouble began
between the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern Railroad and the Pennsylvania
Company, operating the Erie and Pitts5urg
yesterday morning. The parties are al
ready in court over certain chartered privi-
leges claimed By the Pennsylvania Compa-
ny and the Pennyslvania Railroad Com
pany.
A fresh controversy broke out q few days
ago about rights of way through valuable
property claimed BY the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern and denied by the Erie
aud Pittsburg and operated BY the Penn
sylvsnia Railroad. The latter company
built switch last night on the disputed
territory and filed it with an engine and
cars.
Early this morning an innocentlooking
engine and car was followed by three en-
gines without lights and hostilities began.
The Pennsylvania Companys cars and en-
CINE we're pulled from the new switch, and
as the Lake Shore men were cutting off
the main connection the engine cut of and
ran back and planged through the wreck
ers into the disputed connection and ditch
ed. Specials have arrived with General
Manager Baldwin aud other Pennsylvania
and Lake Shore officials, and section men
are being run in by both companies, and
the situation is growing very serious. The
Lake Shore Company has its engines aud
cars chained down and the Pennsylvania
lines blockaded. The authorities are on
the grounds, but will be unable to cope
with the wrangling railroaders if trouble
ensues.
The courts will be appealed TO after
midnight. If the blockade is not rsised
the United States mails will be interiered
with. Both parties are determined and
have AGO or SOC men on hand. A fight is
feared.
Early this morning over four hundred
men were lying in the open air and in
cars and shanties ready for duty the mo-
ment the signal IS given. Both companies
have sent out on their roads and are run
ming every available train to the scene OF
the contest.
