and the mob Is marching towards the
Aliis works, which started under milf
tary protection this morning. The
Light Horse squadron are on the way to
the Allis works. A large gathering Of
the Socialists is reported 1t Milwaukee
Garden, and the police are on their way
to the spot. Serious trouble Is feared.
$50 A. E.-Nothipg definite from
Bay View yet. A mob Of Socialists,
which assembled at Milwaukee Garden,
has started for Best's brewery. Three
companies of infantry, . platoon OF
cavalry, and platoon Of police are on
the way to intercept them.
The latest reports from Bay View
show a much more serious condition Of
affairs than at first reported. The
crowd Of rioters commenced to form at
Eighth street, city, and moved towards
the mills. The military companies
marched out of the grounds and stacked
aims in front of the works, and IS
the crowd approached, paying no atten-
iion to the orders to halt, the dread
word Of Fret was given, and .
vclley Of bullets poured into the crowd.
Tie rioters made hasty retreat, whist
it was learned that five lives had been
sacrificed and several persons wounded.
One of the killed was a schoolboy
who had bis school-books under his
arm when he fell. While the trouble
was going on at Bay View a large
crowd Of Socialists and strikers as.
sembled at Milwaukee Garden, on the
West Side. and were preparing to carry
out the programme Of riot and destruc-
tion. A platoon of sixty policemen
and three infantry companies were dis
patched there and cleared the pre-
misses. The mob then reassembled and
proceeded to Best's brewery, and word
has just been received at military head
quarters that disturbance took place
there, in which it became necessary to
resort to firing, and that two persons
were killed. The city is in state Of
excitement equslled at no time since
the present trouble commenced.
MILWAUKEE, May So p. M-The
report that two men were killed at the
Best brewery is found to be untrue.
Several shots were fired, but no person
was killed. Three men were killed at
Bayyiew, and five or six wounded.
Every one Of these bear Polish or Be-
hemian names. One boy Of fourteen,
also Pole, was badly wounded. The
story about boy with school-books
under his arm being killed is not veri.
fed. The firing of the militia resulted
in dispensing the mob in the greater
part. The rioters, or those OF Polish
nationality at least, returned to the city,
South Side, and proceeded to sack the
residence of Captain Borchardt, of the
Kosciusko Guard, yesterdays firing
having been done by that company.
The residence is complete wreck.
The Infatuated Polanders then assem-
bled near the Polish church, and, it is
rumoIed, decided to arm themselves
and make another raid on the militia,
but up to this hour they have not
done so.

TIE RYAN WII.L~CAsE.
a Juror Withdrawn and Compromise
Arrived A.

The Chsncery Court was on Tuesday
and yesterday engaged in trial before
jury Of the validity of the will Of
Daniel Ryan, who resided near the
county courthouse, on Main street, and
who died at the ago Of eighty-seyen
years on March 9Th. The will was
made on February IL, 1886, and by it
the testator gave all his estate to his
son Thomas ID. Ryan and wife, in equal
proportions, making no mention Of any
other Of bis children.
1t seems that old man RYAN came to
this country about 1850, leaving a
family in England; that he married
here, but bis wife died, leaving no is
sue that several years since he opened
correspondence with his children in
England, the result being that two sons,
John and Thomas Daniel, came here.
John went TO live in New York, while
for nearly three years Tom lived here
part Of the time with his father. About
six months before the old man died he
furnished money to bring Toms wife
from England, and since her arrival, it
is claimed, she was about the only per-
son who paid any attention to or nursed
the old man. After his death the will
was offered for probate, when John
and the English relatives appeared to
contest it upon the ground of I'M
due influence and want Of testa-
mentary capacity. Many witnesses
were examined, and there was some ap-
parent conflict in the testimony. The
case was, however, submitted to the
jury without instructions or argument
about IL o'clock yesterday, when, after
being out until 4;30 p. NJ, they were
brought into court and on motion OF the
contestiDg party, juror was with
drawn and the jury discharged. The
will was then admitted to probate, it
being understood that the case had been
compromised. The estate was worth
about 10000. Edgar Allan and w.
W. Cosby were for the will, and Messrs.
Atkinson and Davies and Jacob Cohn
for the contestants.
a SCENE IN COURT.
During the trial Of this case Mr..
COIN, Of counsel for the contestants,
was put on the witness stand and tes-
titled that the month before Ryan died
he (Cohn), as counsel for physician,
had brought suit against Ryan. Mr..
Cohn testified that when he saw Ryan
and presented the bill the latter showed
signs similar to those Of insanity.
WbeIeupon Mr.. Allan asked Mr.. Cohn
if he, as a respectable attorney know
ing all the facts in the case, had brought
a suit against an insane man. To this
Mr.. Cohn replied substantially that a
respectable attorney might as well bring
suit against lunatic as to play chuck-a-
luck with negroes. A. this Mir. Allan
Jumped up and struck at Mr.. Cohn,
but was prevented from hitting him a
fair blow by Mr.. W. W. Cosby, Jr.,
Selling the former. Mr.. Cohn attempted
to get at Mr.. Allan, but was prevented
by Mr.. II. A. Atkinson, Jr.
Both gentlemen were made to apollo
gize for their conduct in court, and
were fined s25 each. Mr.. Allan at once
drew a check for the amount, making it
payable 10 the Chancery Court "for
striking Jacob Cohn in court" The
Court refused to receive the check, and
Mr.. Allan said that he would pay the
inc in another way.
