PROSECUTED SCOyILLE.
Another Suit Against This Lawyer Of
Guiteau Notoriety

Chicago dispatch: From presen tindica-
tons it would seem that tie courts OF Chicago
will never see the last of the scoville-Howe
troubles, or that unfortunate Geo. Scoyille
will never recover that peace of mind which he
enjoyed prior to the advent OF the assassin
Guteau upon the political horizon. Some
time ago an execution wus issued against Mr..
Scovllle, who is a lawyer with good practice,
at the instance Of bis divorced wife, Frances
NJ Howe, sister Of Guiteau, who claimed that
he owed her several hundred dollars for back
alinony. Scoyille has now filed statement
showing that from 1883 TO March OF the pres
ent year, he has given her amounts aggregat
ing twelve hundred and twenty-five dollars, or
over one hundred dollars more tnan the deere
required him to pay. Then the ex-husband
goes on TO complain that his ex-wife obstinate.
ly refuses to live in a certain house, and TO
snb-let rooms for lodgings SO as to reduce the
rent. To make matters worse, Scoyille retail
ates upon his former wife by filing a petition
asking the court to give him the custody Of
the child Bertha, who has been In the mothers
care for some time. Mrs. Howe has been or
dered to answer this petition within ten days,

PARNELLITES w. TORIES.
Tho Former Decide 10 Array Them
selves Against the Latter.

London dispatch: The Parneliites have
decided to array themselves against tho
tories in their attempt To force the govern
nent to show their hand upon their policy
during the debate which Ia expected to be-
gin tonight on the civil service estimates.
The conservatives have arranged to inter
rapt the governments proposition to go in
sommitteo on the civil service estimates by
all amendment declaring that the house
was unwilling to entertain estimates Tor
eivi! establishments in Ireland before being
placed In possession Of the policy which the
government intended to pursue Tor the
restoration and maintenance OF social or.
der In shat country. IL was calculated
That II this amendment was carried the
government would be either blocked or
compelled tn divulge their Intentions. Par
nell has resolved to go to Gladstone's res
sue. The Irish leaders are satisfied, IN view
OF the premier's promise to state his Irish
policy after March 22, at which date he Is
expected TO be through With the govern
ment's financial business. He Is entitled to
lie protected from disturbance on that issue
until after the expiration vi the time asked
Tor Accordingly, the Parnellites this alter
noon resolved To oppose In n body tho
Holmes amendment. TINS will undoubted-
" give the government all the votes neces-
sary to defeat tho amendment.

LABOR TROUBLES.
knights or Labor Discharged In
spring field, ohio.

There Is much excitement 10 Springfield,
Ohio, caused by the action Of the East Street
Champion reaper works. There was sudden
Wholesale discharge Of several hundred en-
pluyes known to belong 10 the Knights Of La
Dor or other trades union organizations
Whitley, president Of the company, said; 1--WE
are compelled TO take this course In the cause
Of human liberty So far as We have observed
the operations OF this organization In other
cities, IL has been one Of terror, Intimidation
and violence, and II seems 10 be question
Mhether n factory shall have all or none OF Its
employees members Of that organization. We
prefer 10 have all our men independent OF all
organizations, and believe that such course
will be for the good Of the community" They
are advertising Tor men to Ill the places OF the
discharged w0rkmen. Another Springfield
special says; There were about 300 men dis
charged from the Champion reaper works last
night, and that 300 more refused 10 work next
morning. Meetings have been held 10 discuss
the situation, but no line Of action has been
adopted. There Ia no indication OF violence.
At the Mccormack works In Chicago there
Is little change In the situation. There were
slight accessions 10 the number seeking work
when the gates were opened on tue Oh, ihciuu
ing n number Of non-union men VINO have
been working at the Maxwell box factory, but
who have been discharged TO make room for
the strikers returning To work. The police are
still on guard, with apparently no occasion Tor
their presence.
The drivers and conductors OF eight lines OF
street cars In Brooklyn, N. Y, controlled by
Deacon william Richardson, struck for
shorter hours and better treatment generally.
They claim the deacon is hard task master.
About 800 men are out. The company have
advertised for new men aud say they will tight
II out.
The striking weavers at Manchester, N. H.,
hrye received telegram from the national as
scmbly Of Knights of Labor at Philadelphia,
saying the order cannot assist them. The
strike will certainly collapse. About $500
looms are running.

GONE UP IN FLAMES.
one Million Dollars Worth OF Property
Destroyed.

At o'clock on the morning OF the 9th fro
broke out in the extensive cat meal mills Of
Ferdinand Schumacher, Of Akron, Ohio. The
mllls are the largest in the country, aud con-
sist OF several Immense buildings. The flames
spread with alarming rapidity, and were soon
beyond control. The building first attacked
was entirely enveloped The Dire next commu-
uIeatcd to the dry house, which was also des-
troyed Tue 2o,ON bushel elevator next burned
up, and at last reports another mill was threat
ened with destruction, The UnIyerSalist
church, across the street, and the freight house
OF the Cleveland, Akron " Columbus road was
on fire. The Windsor hotel, also owned by
Schumacher and valued at S7O, O0l, was threat
ened. The loss will reach sso0,OJO.
Later. The fire In tho immense mills OF
Schumacher is practically subdued. The flfc
started In the hye-story brick dry house on
South Broadway. The dry house was hlled
with the best wheat aud there were seven dust
shafts leading ircm this structure W tho i'm
mense seven-story brick fronting on Mil street.
But before the tirc department had responded
to the alarm the flames swept through these
dues and soon the hro was issuing from the
handsome structure. The water works were
IN good condition, out IN spite OF TINS the hre-
men were unable 10 cope with the flames. They
gradually increased In derceness and In an
hour the entire square seemed TO be doomed To
destruction, About O'Clock calls were sent
to Cleveland, Canton and Kent for assistance,
each Of which responded with an engine. by
sharp and effective work the old mill In the

dwelling were saved. The largest elevator con-
tanned one hundred and hlty thousand bus

nothing definite can be learned, the loss Is es.

ENGLISH POLITICS,
Premier Gladstone 10 be Defeated
Again.

London Dispatch: As Chief Secretary Nor
ley's intimatlon that the government expects
to appeal to the country soon, has not been
contradicted, 1t is now generally accepted as
authoritative The ministry's home rule meas
ures are expected 10 be brought forward about
the first OF April. After thorough debate In
which the state of affairs in Ireland will be full
ly ventilated, the defeat OF the ministry may
be looked for. This is the prevailing expecIa-
ton now, based upon the remarks oil Morley
and the fact that the Irish members talked
against time In the commons over trivial mo
ton, with the evident desire to avert the de-
bate which was expected on Sexton's motion
to censure Lord Churchill for his Ulster
speeches The Parnellites apparently desire
all the talking about Irish Affairs To DO done
when there is a tangible basis for debate be-
fore them They wish to attack the definite
proposals of the government, should these
prove unsatisfactory, rather than the Vapor-
ings Of Lord Churchill, who represents nobody
but himself, aud a few irritable tories who are
out of influence with their own party. Par
nell is understood to have advised Sexton
against allowing himself to be drawn into
discussion with Churchill at this time, lest
something should inadvertently be brought
out which would seem to afford Gladstone an
excuse for introducing some stringency into
the Irish measure he is at work upon. Tho
Irish leader is known to have expressed him
self in favor of meeting Gladstone with Glad
ston an tactics, aud by keeping silence under
all possible circumstances increase the proba-
bility that somebody else will make the mis-
tnneh lhurChillfA ali
speeches in Ireland have hurt his party so
much that they are likely to be pointed to for
years to come as terrible example OF the ell
fects of bumptiousness, and Parnell does not
propose to let any OF his lieutenants, In an an
cry debate over no practical issue, utter some
bitter sentiment that may arouse the alarm OF
English prejudice and hinder the progress to-
ward n recognition of Irish claims.

WASHINGTON, March S.--Among the petit
lions presented were large numbet from To-
cal assemblies Of Knights OF Labor favoring
the building Of the Hennepin canal. Plumb,
in presenting some Of these petitions, said they
all seemed TO emanate from some central
source, as they were ali handsomely printed,
and while greatly respecting the bodies that
sent the petitions, he presumed there must be
some private interest behind this movement
in the interest of the Hennepin canal. Logan
took pleasure In Introducing these petitions.
The canal, he said, was great public work
and would cheaper food Henderson pre-
scented petition setting forth that owing TO
the hopeless restitution prevailing In Illinois
the canal should be built by the government

TEXAS TRAGEDY.
Editor Howard at IkinGston Shoots
Three Persons.

w. p. Howard, editor OF the Hupt County
Chronicle, deliberately shot A. Il. Russell on
the street March 9Th. Howard discharged
both barrels OF a shot gun at Russell. Stray
bullets hit spectator named Oyerholt and a
boy named Kirkpatrick. Howard left imme-
diately and was pursued half an hour later by
the sheriff. Russell, Overholt and Kirkpat
rick are all fatally wounded and will probably
die within twenty -four hours. Russell Is City
Marshal Of Kingston. Howard is an eccentric
young editor, VINO bitterly assaled the saloon
keepers in his paper, charging that Marshal
Russell and other officers were gamblers. This
caused Russell and couple OF saloon keepers
10 visit Howard's office few days ago and
chastise him. Smarting under their redress,
Howard suddenly issued from his Office and
shot Russell In the hack while the latter was
returning from the postoHce.
LATER.-Russell and Oyerholt are at the
point of death. Many citizens defend How
ards action and say he is high strung, and
was driven TO desperation by saloon keepers
and their friends.

THE NORMAN PLAN.

said that the Mormons are contemplating
most daring move. Heretofore they have
peacefully selected the territories In which
to live. From Utah they have branched out
to Idaho, New Mexico, aud Arizona. Like oil
residents OF the territories, they are under the
dir elton and control OF Congress and ameu-
able TO the laws passed at Washington. The
rIgidIty OF the laws against polygamy, and tho
unrelenting enforcement OF them by the FEEDER.
al courts In Utah, have forced the problem on
tho Mormons Of how to escape from control Of
the federal authorities II they controlled q
state by u majority vote, II Is thought by some
that the solution win be found. They would
then be free from interference by congress
and that they might carry out their polyga
fpous practices in defiance OF federal laws.

nant, with the power OF making and admins
tering local laws, their situation will be one of
perma uent vantage, and they will have cnlist-
ed for their protection the whols force Of the
state rights doctrine.
That they have not yet made direct move
In this direction Is due 10 their inability In
several years past, but to the fact that they
have everything to gain py delay While the
population Of Nevada has been Diminishing
the Mormons have been augmenting by an
average yearly addition OF 5000 converts, aud
