RECENT RIoTs.-Tnesday last Chi
cago was the scene of a great riot.
Foreigners were its instigators and
honest labor had no part or parcel in
it. The anarchists were holding a
meeting and incendiary speeches had
and were being made. From the
temper Of the mob, the authorities
saw that serious trouble was imminent
and the Captain in charge of the
Police commanded the crowd TO dis
rerse. No sooner was the order given
Than a dynamite bomb was thrown.
1t was well aimed and fell among the
officers. The instant it struck the
ground it exploded and twenty-nine
manGled policemen fell. The bomb
Was followed by a volley Of pistol
bullets. Though temporarily demon,
"lized the officers soon recovered their
presence of mind, opened fire with
their revolvers and charged. The
mob broke and with yells of fear and
rage started in desperate scramble
COR life. Scores of men were knocked
down by those behind them and tramp
sd to death and the police again ruled
the city. The officers have been armed
with Springfield Rifles and Mayor
Harrison has issued a proclamation
forLidding gatherings or meetings Of
any kind.
Tn the same day several thousand
idle workmen started riot near the
Bay View Mills, Milwaukee. The
militia were ordered out and the mob
stoned them. Avolley fired into the
AR quelled the disturbance for that
day, but on Wednesday the rioters
broke oat afresh and advanced to
attack the militia. To an order to
halt the mob paid no attention. The
order TO lire was then given. Six
companies smptied their guns With a
steady aim and the riot was over.
In these disturbances none of the
ring leaders and but few if any of the
participants were native born Amer
leans. They were men who had left
their country for their country's good
or r-upers whom soulless monopolies
had imported for the purpose of COM
reting with American labor. Because
our laws permit them to say what
they please they imagine that they
can act rs they ace fit. The courts
which will tr, those already arrested
Will likely disabnse their minds of
this impression, and in the event OF
another not the vigilance Committees
nov forming in the threatened COM
munutles will convince them that ere
a people government goes down there
are necks to be stretched and vigilants
Ar" Just the men 10 utilize q lamp
post for the purpose.

1t is stated that the other day 3
coterie Of eight men sat in the parlcrs
Of n New York banker and decided 10
limit The output Of Pennsylvania an,
thracite coal, for the coming year, to
2G.0O0,000 tons. II goes without
saying that the idea in limiting the
production was to keep up the price.
Thus the monopolists levy tribute
uron the laboring man and goad him
to outbreaks.

the squares. asks the Government to
pay him the mo lest sum Of $50 800
for his property, while one Of his
neighbors. Mrs. General Mckee Dun
wants $4,000 for her house. The
aggregate asked for the square north
of Fest Capitol Street is $500. 1863.
and for the square south $3.50
The committee has decided TO ask the
owners Of the property on the south
side to reduce their estimates an av-
erage Of one third, which will bring
the aggregate within the limit of the
appropriation. Should this be refused.
necessary Legal steps will at once be
taken TO secure the condemnation and
appraisement Of the property.
Notwithstanding the efforts OF its
opponents to secure reconsideration,
the River and Harbor bill. which
taken over$l5, coo, 600 from the Treas
ury. passed the House on Thursday.
Eighty-fve members voted in favor
d Mr.. Holmans resolution to have
the bill sent back to the committee
with instructions to cut down the
items until the aggregate should not
exceed g. 900, 900, and l57 declared
themselves opposed to such a check
to the sums TO be distributed to their
respective districts.
The Mexican pension bill is likely
TO undergo some material changes in
the Senate. Senator Logan has in
troduced an amendment increasing
the rate for total helplessness TO S72
a month.
The Senate Committee on the Dis
trict Of Columbia is engaged in ex-
aiming the charges OF offensive Parti-
sanship filed by Albany Republicans
against Matthews, the colored Record
er of Deeds, for the District. 1t is
thought that this investigation will
not prevent, though it will of course
delay his confirmation, and will con.
tinue Fred Douglass in office for some
tine to come, as his resignation is to
take effect on the confirmation Of his
successor.
The warm and pleasant weather
has had the effect Of reminding Con-
gressmen that the season is far ad-
vanced, and that it will be necessary
to expedite business in order to reach
an adjournment before the summer
has passed. Two or three night ses-
sions have been held during the week,
and work upon the appropriation bills
is being pushed along as fast as posi-
bic.
The $780, 900 mail subsidy bill has
passed the Senate by much larger
majority than its friends had expected.
The chances Of securing its passage in
the House is considered extremely
doubtful, and the enemies of the
scheme declare that they will be as
much surprised if they are in a min
GRITTY in the House Of Representatives
~ its friends would have been had
they failed to carry it through The
Senate.
Washington has long been the re-
cognized matrimonial Mecca OF Amer
lea, AMI tie present season has wit
messed no decrease in the number Of
bridal pains who seek TO seclnde them
selves in the sylvan shades Of the
National Capital. The numerous pub
lie Lnildings. parks and grounds affords
rare advantages to tourists of this
character, and the White House for
some understandable reasor, appears
to be Just at present particularly at

Peril of Man Who Teuched an Unfn.
 sulated Lighting Wire.
 NEW YORK, Dec 26.-Patrick McGuire is lying at the point of death in St. Catharines hospital, Williamsburg, in consequence of a shock received from an electric light wire. Mcclure is in the employ of the Municipal Electric Light company of Williamsburg. One of his duties is to supply the street lamps with fresh cartoons at midnight. While making his rounds early yesterday morning he ran nimbly up the post on the corner of Union avenue and Grand street. When he reached the top his left foot rested on one of the iron steps and he swung his right foot over an electric wire. It happened that this wire was not insulated. The moment his foot touched 1t he gave loud shriek and be- came unconscious. McGuire had turned Off the current when he reached the top and was encircled in darkness. It was some time be- fore the people in the street discovered whence the cry for help came. Then he was seen lying across several of the electric wires and in imminent danger of falling to the pavement below. John Powell, who lives in Hope street, undertook the dangerous task of rescuing McGuire After climbing the pole he tried to pull McGuire toward him, but could not on account of the network of wires. A knife was brought into use and the wires snapped away. Mcclure was then pulled over and handed from one man to an other until he was on the ground. He was motionless and it was believed the shock had killed him outright. By mistake fire alarm was sent out instead of call for an ambu- lance. Half an hour later the ambulance arrived. Surgeon Angus discovered that the man was still alive, but very loz. He remov- ed him to the hospital. Last night the man had not yet regained consciousness. He is twenty-six years old and lives at No. 403 Manhattan avenue, Greenpoint.

CHER EsS YOUR CHRISTMAS GIFTs' A Car Painter Shoots His Friend ina
 Cold Blood.

CHILLICoTHE, O., Dec. 26.-John Dudley, the marshal of Zaleski, town about forty miles east of here on the Cincinnati, Wash ington and Baltimore railroad, was shot and fatally injured by Charles Anderson, car painter on that road. Dudley was in saloon very drunk and waltzing with companion, another practical foe to prohibition. Ander- son entered, also drunk, and walked straight up to the dancers. Dudley laughingly inn plored him not to take his girl away. Ander- son, for reply, thrust his hand into his over coat pocket, drew out his pistol. and, with the words, Here's your Christmas gift,' placed the muzzle against Dudley's abdomen and fired. Dudley reeled and fell, and the murderer managed to slip through the crowd, but was afterwards spprehended. Surgeons were hastily summoned and an unsuccessful attempt made to probe for the ball. The doctors say that it will be impossible for him to recover. The two men were regarded as good friends until this affair, and Dudley is unable to account for this murderous assault.
 This has been the most murder stained Christmas this placid town has suffered for many years. The ball opened last evening with shooting scrape on Main street, Her schel Johnson pursuing Clark Condon, GUS pidor vender down Main street discharging his revolver at Condon at every jump. Con- don escaped and his assailant was arrested. Johnson shot and killed John Shoenholz dur ing drunken row at Bonneville, this coun- ty, some time ago, but has not yet been tried for this offense.

A 1 Fotheringham Puts The Detectives In The Way of Capturing The Ex- press Robbers.
 CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-It is now stated that
 Fotheringham. the express messenger who is
 in jail at St. Louis on suspicion of being im-
 plicated in the Adams express robbery on
 the St. Louis and San Francisco train, dis
 closed the whole story upon promise of par by the officials. His story was to the effect that he did not know the actual robbers or their whereabouts, but that certain man whose name is earthly concealed negotiated with him plans for the robbery which were afterwards carried out. The name of the tives were able to identify him were given by Fotheringham and from this the case was worked up and the man tracked to this city and arrested Tuesday last with two others who are supposed to be members of the gang. The detectives have recovered but $10, 900 of the $55, 900 stolen. It is likely that the three prisoners will be taken to St. Louis to-mor- row.
 NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 26.-It has just leaked ont that man named Hite was ar rested here Saturday night by Pinker- ton detectives and taken to St. Louis He is said to have formerly been member of the Jesse James gang and was arrested for complicity in the Adams express robbery committed on October 25 last His wife refuses to talk The detectives and their prisoner left this morning for St. Louis.

CHATTANOOGA, Dec. 26.-Yesterday after noou while Pleas Fryar and Bud Jackson were walking together along the railroad track near Hixon the former drew revolver and without warning fired at Jackson's breast, killing him instantly. During the morning the men quarrelled, but Jackson declined to fight. It is believed Fryar re- sumed the quarrel and had induced his vic- tim to walk with him to carry out his das- tardly purpose. Jackson was the son of 8 large planter and bad feeling has long existed between the Jackson and Fryar families. Fryar was arrested and put under a guard. An attempt was made to lynch him, but the officer eluded the crowd and the murderer was safely lodged in the Chattanooga jail.

AChrI.tma. Tree Celebra,Ion,

A very happy throng assembled at the Ferry street church, Fair Haven, Christmas eve and hugely enjoyed the Christmas tree celebration. There were presents for all, thanks to the kind people attending the church and the neighbors and other friends, and there was excellent music for the occa- sion, Miss Lida Hine rendering fine Christ mas selection upon the organ and singing a solo appropriate to the glad occasion. Other exercises also contributed to the evenings pleasure.
