AFIGHT IN THE LOBBY.

Among those who were waiting iii the
lobby about the eastern door Of tho Senate
yesterday afternoon, was Col. a. w. Jones
of Ashland, near Richmond, Va, a FRIEND
of Senator Rddleberger, of Virginia. lie
has been prominent in Virginia politics and
furnished the money for the expenses of The
unsuccessful contest against Gen. Wiclihan
in 1883, on the understanding that he would
he repaid out Of the political treasury O
Malone. The nonpayment OF that advance
led 10 his visit to the Senate lobby yester,
day.
For some time Col. Jones waited at The
lobby door on the republican side of the
Senate. About. 8 o'clock Senator Riddle
berger came along, when Jones hailed him
and pulled him aside. Mr.. Riddlebergel
attempted TO Sink away, but Jones held
him fast, and began to talk louder. 1t WAS
apparent that Jones wanted money. Al
last Mr.. Riddeberger, angry and impatient,
made an effort to pull himself away from
his friend with the remark that he would
not be bothered in that way by persons Of
his stamp.
"You are a miserable curl" shouted Col.
Jones in reply; and then he added that the
Senator was dishonest, ungrateful, a pol
troon, and several other things equally
disreputable.
"If Justice was DONE" said the Senator
'you would be in the penitentiary."
The words were no sooner uttered than
Jones struck Riddleberger heavy blow on
his neck He was vigorously following W
the attack when half h dozen Senate ollic-
als rushed to the rescue and pinioned the
disturbers CT peace. Before the officials Sc
cured them, Riddleberger had managed to
get behind his antagonist and to take such
a hold of him that he was unable to twist
himself out OF the Senator's stalWart grasp.
Jones, don't want to hit you," said the
Senator, rs his antagonist made an effort to
follow up the fist blow.
CPL meet you again." Jones groWled as
he saw himself prisoner in the hands of
the officials. Yes at the Police Court"
said Mr.. Rildlebergcr.
The Senator was then asked if he desired
to have Jones handed over to the police,
but he replied mo; lei him 60"
"I'll have satisfaction yo:," shouted the
irate Jones' ANY time" said Ridileber-
ger. After tho row tho Senator's thumb was
discovered to be disabled.
Col. Jones, left the city by the next train.
He is we'll known in Virginia, and is re-
garded as wealthy man He was at one
time proprietor or manager OF Orkney
Springs He came to Virginia q few years
ago from the West, where he made money
in railroad speculations. AS Malone
candidate he ran against Gen. Wickham for
the Virginia Legislature, but Wickham, as
the opponent of Mahonesm, won the cleo
ton. Jones is said to have been at one
time one Of the editors or directors of the
Richmond Wig, and his eyesight is very
defective, rendering him almost blind.

ciated Press reporter at II o'clock 10 day
that the condition of his father remained

gress towards recovery. Mr. Manning said
his fathers system was in good condition,
and his pulse as strong and natural as that
of person in health, and as he possessed
considerable vitality his family were en-.
couragea to the belief that he would come
through all right. They all realized, how
ever. that he was in q critical condition, and
not entirely out Of danger. Mr.. and Mrs.
]. A. nolehanty, OF Albany, and Miss Mary

New York, Mrs. Manning's sister, who has
baen ut the house for several days past, re-
turned TO her home yesterday.

TIE STRIKERS TO BE SUED.-Gencral
SIayne, one Of the counsel fer Jay Gould,
states that he has been consulted regarding
The action Of the Knights OF Labor on tho
strike now pending on the Southwestern
railroads, and actions will mo at once com.
menced against the order as we'll as against
The Individual members of the order by the
Missouri Pacific Company to recover ell
damages the company may have sustained
by tho strike. Tho actions" he continued,
Twill be commenced in st. Louis at an early
day, but am not at liberty to say whether
instructions have already been sent to St.
Louis TO commence proceedings. The liza
hiliies Of the Knights of Labor are of both
civil and criminal character. If con-
spiracy can be proven criminal action will
be commenced" When asked how the
members of secret organization like the
Knights of Labor could be discovered, so as
TO enable his company to begin action
against individuals, Gen. Swayne said: ave
will have no trouble in beginning action
against the several organizations, and when
that is done we can bring any of the officers
into court and compel them TO disclose the
names of the members Their oaths of Sc
crecy will not shield them from answering
questions in q court of justice; and if they
refuse TO answer on that ground they will
certainly be committed for contempt"

the Pole who hrutally murdered Mrs. Agnes
kledzeick last August, was hanged in the
county Jail yard in this city at 1916 O'Clock

gust %, 1855. On the evening of that day
the husband Of Mrs. Agnes Kledzeick re.
turned from work to his humble home to
find that his wife had been murdered and
the house been ransacked, evidently for

Zeick was alone at the time, attending 10
her household duties, when the murderer
clipped noiselsss'y into the room and beat
her to death with some blunt instrument.
The booty secured by the tiend was small
sum Of money which Kledzeick had iulrus,-
ed TO his wife for safe keeping. Some trnk-
cts stolen from the dead woman were traced
to Mulkowski, and the evidence accumu-
lated agans. him was so strong that not

from Ell Paso, Tex, says: Trouble is again
brewing among the brakemen and other
freight employees of the Southern Pacific
railroad at this point. Another strike may
result any day. The freight men arc great
ly dissatisfied at recent promotions Of men
who but lately entered the employ Of the
company over the heads of many older en-

THERE is no duty on anthracite COAL but
there is on Unanimous. That on the latter
necessarily tends to keep up the price OF the
former, for were it removed more SOIL coai
would he used, and the demand for hard
coal he consequently diminished. dood
reasons for tho abolition ofthe duty on Cum
berland coal have always been apparent,
but they are now brought out in stronger
colors by the determination of the anthra'
cite coal syndicate 10 advance the price OF
their product.
