tatives.
WASHINGTON, July l6.

WASHINGTON, July l6.
Congressmes Cobb of Indiana and Laird of
Nebraska INDUCED in personal encounter
In the House Friday morning, and created a
sensation.
The trouble grew out of charges made by
the former on the floor of the House 20 the
effect that the Nebraska member had been
| concerned in the land ring.
Mr.. Payson of Illinois, a member of the
public lands committee. was explaining TO
Representative Gilfillan the effect of certain
Senate amendments to the hill intended to
protect the rights of homesteaders. when Rep
resentative Laird leaned from his seat tow ards
the party and asked, "Why do not you fell
lows (referring TO the public lands commit
tee) do something to break up the land rings
in the South instead of raidipg upon the
North?"
Payson replied that that was what the COM
mittee was endeavoring to do. Cobb under
took to defend the committee of which he
was chairman.and an angry passage occurred
between him and Laird which ended in the
latter calling the former liar. Both gen.
tlemen then adjourned to the lobby.
Recurring to the charges Cobb had made
against him in his speech several weeks ago,
Laird angrily declared that he (Cobb) was "a
- liar" Cobb rejoined that Laird was "a
- perjurer," but the words had hardly
passed his lips before Laird struck him
heavy blow on the mouth and nose. stream
OF blood trickled down Cobb's face. He was
thrown backward against the doorway. The
crowd which had collected interposed at this
Juncture and the combstsnts were separated,
Laird taking his seat in the House and Cobb
reclining in an easy chair in the lobby where
he was surrounded by friends
The bad feeling between the two members
dates back some months and it was apparent
on the occasion when Mr.. Cobb made his
charges against Mr.. Laird Some three weeks
ago the last named member with great diff
Guilty was restrained from emphasizing with
his fist the indignant denial and defiance he
hurled at bis antagonist There was every
reason 10 believe if interference had not come
that sanyuinary personal combat would
have resulted, as both members are of power
full physique and bear the reputation OF men
ready at all times to defend themselves in
fitting manner. Cobb stands six feet and
over and is of proportionate breadth, but is
at disadvantage on the score of being in the
neighborhood of 81 or 60 years old. Laird is
but 81 years of age, with girth of chest that
would ornament an athlete, and a fiery. i'm

also slightly lame, the result of fracture of
the leg year or two ago.

HORSE CAR STRIKE.
KiotOus Proceedings i'm the Streets of
San Francisco.

SAN Francisco, July Is.
A strike of 200 car drivers and conductors
on the North Beach and Missouri company's 8
lines. which was inaugurated Wednesday,
assumed a serious aspect last night. The
North company fearing trouble last evening
stabbed all their cars before dark, but the
city railroad company continued running
their cars. Soon after dark, however, about
four thousand persons gathered on Missouri
street. between Fourth and Sixth streets, and
as the city company's cars passed they were
saluted With showers of stones and other
missiles. An attempt was made to derail the
cars by piling obstruetions across the track
but they were removed by the police. Finally
three cars were stopped, their horses un-
hitched, windows broken and their conduc-
tors forced to leave. One car was
upset across the track. The police, unable
TO cope with the mob, sent for reinforce
ments and then succeeded in dispensing the
crown. Officers were then stationed at each
corner to prevent people from reassembling.
Four of the rioters were arrested. No serious
injury to any person has been reported. Mat
tiers at a late hour last night were quiet, with
no prospect of q recurrence of the trouble.
The men went on q strike, so it is alleged by
them, because the companies had discharged
a number of men on the ground that they
we're Knights of Labor.

ARRESTED FOR BIGAMY.
John W. Phelps Taken from New York
to Chicago How he Deserted his Wife
and Got a Divorce Fraudulently.
NEW YORK, July l6.

NKw YORK, July l6.
John w. Phelps, superintendent of the
Fishkill Landing Water Work, is on his way
to Chicago in the care of Detective Hartman,
having been arrested Thursday on a warrant
charging him with bigamy. Phelps is well
known Massachusetts man, and in 1876 re-
sided in Springfield. Mass. At that time he
was president of a New England railroad
The story of his marital troubles reads like a
romance and the scenes of his exploits en-
braces two continents. About 1865 he mar
ried Miss Helen E. Clark, a noted belle of
Northampton, Mass. In 1876 the couple re-
sided in Springfield occupying one of the
finest houses in the city.
They moved in the best circles of society,
and attracted general attention by their dis
tinguished appearance. Nothing transpired
to mar the happiness of the union until Mrs
Phelps took into her service girl by the name
of Fanny Thayer. She was handsome and
vivacious, and Phelps, becoming infatuated,
ran of with her TO Paris, remaining there two
years. While there be sent for his wife, to
effect, if possible, reconciliation. They met
in Liverpool. She returned to America
without him, but he followed soon after and
went back to his home in Springfield
A child had been born to him BY Fannie
Thayer in Paris. Phelps lived with his wife
again long enough to get her to sign away the
Springfield home and then deserted her, tax
ing Miss Thayer to Maryland, where Phelps
and his father, Willis Phelps, were building a
railroad. From Maryland Phelps and his
paramour went to Fargo in 1881, and unbe-

known to his wife began a divorce suit,
asserting in his affidavit that he did not know
his wife's whereabouts, when the fact was
that he had met her a few days before at the
Grand Pacific Hotel in Chicago. He secured
a decree of divorce.
In January. 1882, the divorce was set aside
on the ground of perjury, conspiracy and
fraud. Phelps had gone to St. Paul with
Fannie Thayer and married her and then took
her to Washington, where they learned that
the divorce had been set aside. They at once
started for Canton, in the bsckwocds of
Dakota, and Phelps began another divorce
proceeding, but when the second divorce suit
came up for trial, Mrs. Phelps was represent
ed and the case was adjourned on Phelps
account and has not come up since. Phelps
left for the East, where he was joined by the
Thayer womsn and finally traced to Fishkill
where he was arrested.
