PISTOLS AND BILLIES IN THB FISTS OF
DRUNKEN OFFICERS AND POLITICIANS


PHILADELPHIA, September 23.-There
was a reign Of terror yesterday afternoon
in the Fifth Ward: Storekeepers closed
their places of business and citizens closed
up their houses to keep out, not disOr-
ganized mob, but the sworn police officers
of the city, who, crazy with liquor, were
shooting right and left. Lieutenant Da-
vid b. Roche, Common Councilman Jno.
R. Lloyd, Police Sergeant Beatty,
Constable YaAe, Jake Schick,
ex-Councilman and dive-keeper
Patrolman Garry and about ten police
men and ward FOUNDERS went into q
saloon kept by Harry DOelp at No. 316
South Sixth street yesterday afternoon
about o'clock. They were all under the
influence of liquor, Roche and Lloyd were
particularly drunk. In the saloon when
they entered was J. II. Riedenach. The
below Samson, which was the polling
place raided by John +. Lloyd, candidate
for the legislature and constable.
A friend of Riedenach, named
Otto Knoop, and several other men
were also in the saloon, as Riedenach
had sworn out warrants for Lloyd
and Vance, it was found that
the gang had come to assault, and acting
under the advice OF Doelph Riedenat, ran
out of the back way He had hardly left
the saloOnf when a number of negroes en-
tered and stepped up to the bar to take 4
drink, Lieut.. Roche was sitting at a ta-
bic, but he arose, staggering towards the
party exclaimed: You're the - that
worked for BrimO Ernst, dam you. You
hadn't ought to vote any how. He then
drew a revolver and began firing at the
frightened negroes, who were trying to es-
cape through the door. Sergeant Beatty
also drew a revolver and fired at the crowd.
The rest OF the gang went for them with
black Jacks Just rs Lieut. Roche reached
the door he fired at VIM. Powell, negro
living on Middle Alley, above Sixth street.
The ball hit him in the neck, intlicting
dangerous wound. Powell was taken to
his home, but very soon after was
brought out by some officers and
placed in cab. In the cab were
Robert Lester Smith, David Mouat and
Oscar Stein, the policy backcr, all friends
of Roche The cab was then driven rapid
iy up town, and was lost sight of near
Frankfort. Those who saw Powell after
he was shot say that he cannot live.
After shooting Powell, Lieut.. Roche
and Councilman Lloyd attacked c. Petrof,
living on Locust street, and beat him
on the head with black-iacks until he
was inSenSible. He was taken to
the hospital and is thought to
be fatally wounded. The citizens of the
Fifth ward are in high state of excite
ment over the fight, aud are loud in their
denuncatiOns of Roche and his rough fol
lowing. A warrant has been issued for
the arrest of Lieut. Roche.

JEFF cHANDL1ER's ARGUMENT.
Statement of the Telephone Counsel De-
nounced as n Monstrous Proposition


CINCINNATI, September 23.-With un-
prOmptness the District Court
room was filled this morning to hear the
continuation of Mr.. JEFF Chandler's argu-
ment in the telephone case. In opening
Mr.. Chandler furthor elucidated his nov
el proposition of yesterday, that the right
of the Bell Company to do business IN
Ohio depends not all upon the Massachu-
sets incorporation of that company, but
is dependent solely on the federal grant
represented in the Bell patent. 1t was
necessary for the gentlemen composing the
American Bell Telephone Company to be
to give tEem the power eorpor-
ately to acquire the patent, but having al
ready now corporate existence, and having
obtained the patent, the right to operate as
a corporation under the patent is depend
ent solely upon the federal grant of which
the patent rs attested doeumental evidence.
He however concluded that whatever be
decided upon this point there can be no
doubt Massachusetts, permits the company
10 90 to Ohio. Ohio hospitality-inyites
them to come, hence it is folly to talk Of
any legal barrier to the opertions
of the American Bell Telephone
in Ohio. 1t has been insisted
upon by the counsel for the company
that lessee companies have an estate in
the management of the business. Mr.
Chandler denounced this rs mOnstrOus
legal proposition, and announced for the
first time in court. You would hardly
say that the conductor, engineer, brake
man and section hand have IN estate in
the management of the railroad whose
employs them.

Overcharge of Electricity
COLUMBIA, S. C. September 23,-Dr. B.
Wyman of Aiken county makes the fol-
loving statement concerning the peculiar
effects of the great Earthquake on the
night of August 81, upon the Rev. w. H.
Mosley a Methodist Minister of that coun-
ty:
Between II and o'clock on the night
cf August DIST, was called to visit Mr..
Mosely, who had been taken suddenly
sick during the first shock, found him in
bed talking cheerfully. He told me at
once that he was not sick, that he never
felt better in his life; that just proceeding
each shock of the earthquake, he would
be seized with peculiar tingling senSa-
ton. beginning in his toes and feet and
GRADUALLY extended to his limbs and whole
body. While speaking he suddenly
screamed out, "AnOther shock is COM
ing" At the same time he grew
red in the face and all the mus
res of his body became cOnvulSed and
drawn and he appeared rs one under a
great strain or receiving an over dose of
electricity from an electric battery. A
singular fact connected with all of these
attacks was that he became aware of the
approach Ola shock a considerable period
of time before other members of the fam
lily. Another singular fact that observed
was that while the shock was ut its height
and the house and furniture were rocking
aud rattling his muscles become relaxed
lheattacll passed off and he declared him
selRas feeling all right and was calm and
cheerful. He was certainly suffering from
IN Ove:charge Of electrical fluid upon an
excited and Overstrained nervous system.

LONDON, September 23.-Forty-three
Unionists, including Messrs. Bright, Cham
berlain, Ceilings and Baine, were absent
when the division was taken on Mr. Par
nell's bill. None of them had paired.
Concerning the results of the defeat of
Mr. Pannell's land bill, Mr.. Pierce Ma
honey, member for North Meath, said to
a press representative last evening: "You
know there is only one course open now.
The Parnellite members must recommend
the Irish people to meet and consider we'll
and carefully what would be a fair offer
to make to the landlords, The National
league would advise the farmers TO this
end and counsel them TO hold firmly
to their proposals and not bulge an inch.
The League will exert itself to the utmost
to prevent outragcs, but eyictions
must inevitably result in crime
and it will be n difficult matter TO preserve
absolute order. The Government is GER
tainly aiming at coercion and it will sure
ly follow within two months. The Par
nellites would prefer that the people offer
only passive resistance, and pay no more
than fair rent, 20 quietly when evicted
and seek the protection of the League
which will see to il that they do not suf-
fer. II the people will do this nobody
will take the land they vacatc and the
landlords will lose more than they would
by allowing the tenants to remain and pay
what they were able"
Mr.. L. W. Russell. Liberal Anti-Home
Rule member for South Tyrone, said: "The
farming people are tired Of this no rent
movement. They will pay their rents with
little pressure and are abunaantly able to
do SO. The tenants have legal right to,thc
value OF thier tillage, and they would not
be- such fools as To let their holdings rather
thar pay the fraction Of rent that stands
between the proticr of the parncllitcs and
the Just due of the landlord"
Messrs. Dillon, Sexton, and I. i. O'Con-
nor who were also seen last evening by your
correspondent; predicted bitter struggles
between tenant and landlord during the
coming winter. They declined to sta.c
what the policy of the Parnclitics would
be, but intimatcd that il would he a diff
cult matter to prevent violence ifevictions
were enforced, and they entertained no
hope that they would be stayed in any
mart of Ireland

said that soldiers should not forget in their
