PISTOLS.
hooting Array Between strikers aud Pinker
tons Police.

CHICAGO, October 19.-As about 100 dis
charged Pinkerton men were on their way
to the city today in cars from the stock
yards, they were hooted and stoned by Il
crowd of strikers near Fortieth street. One
of them, in evaporation, finally fired his
Winchester into the crowd through a car
window, MORALLY wounding Dennis Bog
ley, a well-to-do tcamster.
Word was Immediately sent to the Chi
cago Authorities, and upon the arrival of
the train here the entire lot OF Pinkerton
men, together with some 40 %nnn.uuion.
workmen who wcr, also on the traiI. were
arrested and locked up in the Harrison
street station.
From later accounts ii appears that the
shooting was not confined 10 one man, hut
that all the Pinkcrton men joined in the
fusilade. When the train passed through
a crowd at Halstead street, the mel were
again greeted with jeers, when u large,
stout man, with a red face and clothed in a
Pinkcrton uniform, stepped out on the
back platform and fired his revolver into
the crowd. This was the signal for a gen
eral vollcy, and l. or 90 Pinkcrton men
began to fire their rifles from the car win.
dows. Fully 30 shots were fired. Fences
and shantics along the track were marked
with bullets. Serious trouble is feared, rs
the crowds are furious at the shooting and
VOW vengeance.

The Law of the Road.

TCRN TO THE RIGHT.-Thc most impor-
tant law of the road is, that when two per
sons in vehicles coming from opposite di.
rcctions arc about TO meet. each shall
reasonably bear TO the right Of the middle
or Travelled portion Of the road, so that
they can pass cach other without inter
ference, a traveller is not required TO keep
on the right side of the road all the time;
he can drive where he plcascs or where the
going is best, so long rs he turns 20 tho
right when he meets another vehicle. If
the middle and usually Travelled portion OF
the road Is very muddy, and for this or any
other reason persons are travelling along ;hC
side Of the road, then the one who is on the
left side of the road is in duty bound TO
turn out. In Massachusetts ii was held
that when the part of he road which
is wrought for travelling is hidden by
snow, and n path is beaten and Travelled
on the side of the wrought path, per
sons meeting on such side path are each
required to drive their vehicles to the right
Of the middle Of it. 1t should, however.
be remembered that this law OF the road is
not an absolute and intleNiblc one. Cir
cumstances may arise which would Justify
q deviation from il, and when they do arise.
a traveller cannot stick hlindly To the law.
and then claim damages if lie i injured.
In the crowded streets Of Il metropolis
drivers are required 10 exercise very great
care, and when the high degree of care
dictates n departure from this law Of the
road then 1t is not only iustiiablc, but a
failure to observe il might cut OF ones
right to recover damages if he is injured
This turning 10 the right is Just the opposite
Of that in England. which requires all
drivers TO turn 10 tlic left. The rule Of
turning in England is based or long-hon.
orcd custom; our rule is established by
statute in several State, Of the Union.
Foot PAssENUERs.-All persons have
the same right TO walk in the highway that
they have to drive there, and they have tho
same right to walk in the middle of the
street that they nave to walk on the foot

Sugar War.

y. big sugar war Is being carried on in
Charleston, as will be seen by the following
from the -NtrS and Courier Of this date:
a reporter was sent out yesterday to re.
connoitcr. He found the war in full vigor,
and presents the results OF his observation
Tor The benefit Of hOuSckccpcrs. a grocery
merchant, who was not in the fight when it
began, was found busily engaged in writing
lowing quotations were obtained.

Ordinary brown sugar % pounds for 81;
usual price II to IS pounds for 81.

Quired the reporter.
- don't know, - was the reply. Il

Further inquiry elected the fact that the
sugar war has had a tendency to reduce the
prices OF other staple goods as well. One
i!Tm was offering yesterday whole rice at
% cents Il peck, usual price from so cents
To 81; and Fulton market beef at 8 cents n
pound, usual price 10 cents.

NEW B~RrNswICK, n. j.. October 90
The TRIAL Of John Patterson, which began
here 10 day, marks the beginning Of the
end Of Il remarkable career Of crime Pat.
tcIaon is the son of Ezekiel Patterson. one
OF the wcalthicst citizens of this place. and
the nephew OF cX-Judgc Patterson, who
o"nsa large part Of the town of Perth
Amboy. lie was heir to all his fathers
wealth, yet he left his home, associated
with the roughs of the town, was several
ines arrested for drunkenness, finally took
to petty thicving, was accused of assault.
and was, in short, thoroughly bad. His
father threatened to disinhcrit him, and
saYcral times turned him out Of the house;
but John became worse, and his trial to-.
day IS the result of a charge made by his
sister that he came home one night to rob
the house and assaulted her when she dis.
covered him. 1t is thought his conviction
is certain, although his uncle, the Judge, IS
assisting in his defence, and his father has
hlrcd the best counsel in the city. The
opening OF the trial was marked by an at.
tempt of the defence to prevent Miss Pat.
tcrson from testifying because she is in.
clincd toward agnosticism. Friends of
Patterson say that although lie is bad he
was made worse by the fact that his father
too severe with him and too inclined
TO spare the rod.

To Prevent ninhtheria.

The Ohio State Board of Health have
published pamphlet. which urges the
strict observance of the following rules:
l. When a child has sore throat with fever, and
especially when diphthcria is present in the
neighborhood, it should be kept apart from
others until competent physician has deter
mined it is not diphtheria.
.. When person is known to be sick with
diphtheria, he should Immediately be separated
from all Others excepting his attendants, and
removed to room which should be specially
prepared for his occupancy.
3. This room should be prepared by removing
from it all superfuous furniture, carpets, books,
window curtains and all similar articles not
needed in the room. IL should be as remote as
possible from the family rooms-preferably IN
the upper story-and care should be taken 10
secure an abundance of fresh air, without ex-
posing the patient to direct drafts.
4. A card, with "Diphtheria" on it, in large,
plain letters should be placed in q conspicuous
position on the house in which there is person
sick with the disease. No child should be al
lowed to enter the house.
s. No one should be admitted TO the sick-room
except the necessary nurses and attendants
G. No food or drink which has been in the
sick-room should be partakep of by the well.
The dishes carried in should be washed sepa-
rately.
Z. Under no circumstances should the bed
clothes or the patients body linen be mixed
with the other soiled clothing or be admitted TO
the general wash, without being first thoroughly
disinfected
S. All persons recovering from dIphtheria are
dangerous, and should not be permitted to at
tend school, church. or public assembly, until,
in the judgment of careful physician, they are
no longer a source of contagiOn.
Q. No public funeral should be held of any
person dying of diphtheria. In no case should
any child be permitted to attend.
Then follow general instructions on dis
infection, the pamphlet closing with the
following rules for prevention of the dis
ease:
l. Avoid the cOntagion of the disease Fs-
pecially should children be guarded against con-
tact with anything which has been near one
sick with the disease.
.. Be careful of books. toys, cats and dogs
which may have been hand ed by diphtheria
patient.
9. If anyone visits such case he should
hathe disinlect and change his clothing before
going where there are children.
4. Beware of anyone with sore throat do
not kiss such Il person, or drink from the same
cup, or put anything into your mouth he may
have handled.
>. When diphtheria is present in your neigh
boThOcd, beware of taking children TO crowded
assemblies in unven;ilated rooms.
6. See that your house, cellar aud yard are kept
perfectly ell an, and your living and sleeping
room are wen ventilated cleanliness. pure
air and pure water are the three great foes of
this disease.
To the public these rules may seem numeT-
Gus, and, perhaps, unimpoItaLt, but the state
Board OF Hca ia would not be doing its whole
duty If it failed 10 point cot the best possible
means known Of restricting and preventing this

third for laborers, who would repair any
damage done by All eventual accident No

INDIANAPOLIS. November 3d.-At the
Democratic headquarters at noon it was
stated that their private advices corrobor-
ated the figures, indicating that the Re-

They still claim the Legislature by three
majority on joint ballot. Senator Harri-
son says the Legislature is undoubtedly
Republican. Congressman Steele, accord
ing to the latest advices, has carried the
Eleventh District, thus making seven Con-
gressEien for the Republicans to six for the
Democrats, gain of three for the former.
INDIANAPOLIS, November 3d-P. NJ
Upon the basis OF returns from 74S pre-
cincts, 45 per cent. of the vote of the State,

his strength being sufficient to defeat the
