RIOTS are expensive, as LONDON is
now finding out; the claims already IN
for damages done during the recent
outbreak aggregating $50, with
more in sight. The investigation now
in progress has developed some curious
facts in regard to the riots, and par
tlcularly as to the constitution of the
mob. 1t appears that the enormous
crowd that assembled on the day the
mischief was done was composed of
three elements, workingmen out OF
employment, socialists who were ready
for riot or any other form OF disorder,
politicians anxious TO improve the oc-
casion to push themselves into prom
inence. All these played INTO the
hands of each other, the politicians
melting the workingmen, and the SO

STREET RAILWAY EMPLOYEES STRIKE
TORONTO, March 12.-The street
railway trouble assumed a serious
aspect to-day. According to the in.
struction of the president of the com.
p any late this morning car manned
with force of police left the stable
and started out on the First street
route. The mob Immediately appear.
ed aud adopted destructive tactics
and before the car had proceeded
very many blocks the street was COM
pletely blocked by coal cars, express
wagons, etc.
The police were powerless to pre-
vent this, and the attempt to get the
car through was abandoned. The
car was then turned toward the sta
bles, when the mob attacked il and
completely wrecked it. The driver
and conductor were seized by the riot
ers, and were pretty severely injured
before rescued by the police. A squad
of mounted police then came upon
the scene, and charged upon the mob,
using their batons freely. Several of
the mob were struck by stones
and severely injured, while a
policeman was knocked off his horse
but not seriously hurt. Two arrests
were made, and "a spite of the efforts
made to rescue them, the prisoners
were taken TO the station. Later an
other car was started under heavy
police protection. The mob repeated

the car, but the police succeeded in
getting the car through. The ring
leaders were arrested. At the present
time but few cars are running.

A Chapter of Crime.
AN ATTEMPT TO THwARr JUsrIC


NEW ORLEANS, March 12.--At 1880
o'clock this morning, when the keep
ers went to the cell of Ford and
Murphy, who were to be hung to-day
for the murder of Captain Murphy,
committed December first, they could
not rouse them. Physicians were
hastily summoned, and they pro
nounced the men Hnder the influence
Of belladonna. Every effort was
made to restore them to consciousness,
and at ten o'clock Murphy had rallied
little, but Ford was still uncon-
scious. The crime for which Ford
and Murphy were to be hanged
is without parallel in the history Of
New Orleans. The high position OF
the accused and those associated with
them, the holiness and audacity of
the crime itself, and the social, pohti-
cal and financial influences brought
to bear to retard aud divert justice,
made the trial duel between the state
and its officials Connect with the
tragedy was Judge James Ford, late
recorder of the city of New Orleans,
and who is now serving twenty
years sentence in the penitenhary for
the part he played in the murder.
Foard, the condemned man, is
brother of the judge, and Murphy
was an official in Judge Ford's court.
The trial showed that Judge Ford,
his brother and five officers of his
court were implicated IN the murder.
THE LIFELEss FORMS SUSPENDED.
New ORLEANS, March 12.-At u 40
the sheriff, accompanied by several
subordinate officers, proceeded to the
cell of the condemned, where the bod
les OF the doomed men lay apparently
lifeless uAder the physicians care.
The forms were carefully lifted from
their incumbent positions and borne
in the arms of the agitated deputies to
the scaffold. Amid profound 81
lence the CHASTITY bodies we're carried
upon the steps TO the plank Of
the horrible platform and held in an
erect position while the fatal nOoses
were drawn over and around their
necks. No signs of life were obser-
vable in either man. When the last
rites had been performed and when
the trap was sprung with an unseen
hand and the bodies were launched
into eternity a hush fell upon the
little group of unwilling spectators.
The drop was about feet. The
bodies were allowed to hang % min
utes and were cut down at rs p. M,
The same jury which Witnessed the
hanging, viewed the bodies, and AS
sistsnt Coroner Jones gave verdict
of death by hanging, which disloeated
the necks of both nen. The bodies
will be taken charge of by the Ford
family. Sheriff Butler, in an
interview, stated that he had
taken every precaution to avoid
what had happened. He had
taken the precauhon not only
against the admission Of poison but
also against any attempt at rescue.
When the last death warrant was re-
ceived he had, without giving the
condemned any reason for the act,
removed everything from their cell.
This was done for fear that poison or
some other means of taking life might
be secreted there. BE also refused to
allow any cigars or other luxurles 70
be sent them by persons outside. lie
said a rigid investigation would De
made as TO how the poison was con
veye5 to the men.
