After Election.

WASH :NGroN, Oct. 9.-An infor-
NAL conference Of Republican Sen
ators was held this morning to talk
over the general situation and more
to arrange the course
of debate on the tariff bill. No
action was taken in the conference
and no definite policy was sketched,
but there is reason to believe
that if the Senate finds itself for any
length of time without a quorum
either an adjournment sine die or a
recess for several weeks will be taken.
1t, therefore, now seems probable
that this session will practically come
to an end next week or early the
week after. and that the tariff bill
will be left for a final action after
election day.

THE ADMISSION AFFRAY.
A Great Deal Of Excitement Existing
Over The Shooting Ct Editor Ed
monds and Others, and Lynch
Law Feared.

ADMISSION, Ala, Oct. 9.-Business
has notbeen suspended altogether
but business men and the citizens
generally have stood on the streets
in groups and discussed the shooting
of yesterday. From the best citizens
only one expression of opinion is
heard; that is, that it was the most
cowardly outrage ever perpetrated
in the city and the guilty parties
ought to be hanged at once. S. G..
Lawrence, a justice of the peace, had
published intheMontgomery Dispatch
an account of a recent assault on Edi-
tor w. HI. Edmonds, of the Hot
Blast. Edmonds denounced the re-
report as lie, and yesterday after
noon Lawrence and a young friend,
William Lacey, went to the editorial
rooms of the Hot Blast, and finding
Edmonds alone, demanded retrac-
ton, which was refused. Lacey
and Lawrence then drew their pis,
tolls and the former did the shooting.
Edmonds was shot in the left arm,
the bone being broken at the elbow.
John Chapel, mailing clerk, and
Mr.. Tripeny, young man who was
in the office on business, were both
Slot, the former through the neck,
the latter through the face and neck.
Tripeny is fatally wounded and
Edmonds' wound is a dangerous one.
The bone is shattered at the elbow,
and the physicians fear that blood
poision may ensue.
Half an hour after the shooting
200 of the best citizens of the town
announced their intention of lynch
ing Lawrence and Lacey. Both
men surrendered to the officers, and
when Lacey saw the mob on the
street he begged piteously for a,knife
or pistol with which to kill himself
He said he would rather die by his
own hand than to be hanged by a
mob. The prisoners were taken to
the county Jail under q strong guard,
while a few cool and resolute citizens
confronted the mob and finally dis
persed it.
TIE feeling here is bitter on both
side, and more bloodshed is expected
before it ends.

trouble with a woman named Dun

her, and two OF Dunaway's male
friends went to her room and at the
point of a pistol, tied her arms and

RIOT AT CHICAGO.
UNSUCCESSFUL EFFORTS TO RUN
THE CARS.
Nearly 1000 Car Drivers still Out on
Strike and frequently Collide with
the Police and Citixens-A Day
Full Of Events.


CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 9.--The first
blood in the street car troubles has
been shed. A riot occurred at Gar
field avenue and Orchard street this
afternoon and fifty people were
dubbed. A number of cars were
passing on Garfield avenue, the
streets were jammed with a bowling
mob, and the tracks were covered
with distractions Some employees
and officers of the road removed the
debris, but as fast as it YVES taken
away it was replaced. The mob be-
came so great that the sergeant
ordered a charge. The officers made
a rush and used clubs freely. Men
and boys were hit and women were
not spared. A woman named Wide,
who was particularly demonstrative
against the new men was bad
ly wounded by officer No.
544, who gave her a severe blow.
Partial order was restored but more
trouble is expected. Three men
were caught spiking the rails on
Halstead street and were locked up
at the Larabee street station. AT 3
o'clock this afternoon two cars, under
the protection of IT'S police, left the
Western avenue barns and made a
trip down Madison street and back.
The meHwer greeted with howls of
derision all along the line. No stops
were made for passengers. Mr..
Yerkes has declined to confer with
any more committees, has demanded
and been assured of police protection
for the company's property and will
start cars on their regular trips to-
morrow morning. The situation on
the north side is but little changed
from yesterday; but few cars are rum
ming and those are under police pro-
lection. The strikers are seriously
interfering with general business, the
south side suffering equally with
other divisions.

MERRY WEDDING BELLS.
Two Events that Caused Social stirs in
This City To-day, That will Long
be Remembered.
HENDRIcK-BARKER.

There has been quite flutter in So
cial circles i'll Clarksville to-day,
caused by two weddings that unite
three States and as many counties;
yet only as many families. Two of
the interesting parties were the
youngest children of Rev. j. t. Hen
drick, a Presbyterian minister of
much renown, who is known in all
parts of this country, but whose
home is in Clarksville. The first
event occurred at 10 a. m, at the res
idence of Mr.. j. w. Barker, at West
Fork, Christian county, KY, at
which Mr.. George w. Hendrick, the
popular and enterprising young mer-
chant Of ClarksviIle, was united in
marriage with Miss Lula, the beauti-
full and highly accomplished daugh-
ter Of the host; Rev. DR.. Hendrick
officiating, and Mr.. Calvin w. Hen
drick, of Macon, Ga, and Mr.. e. S.
Muntord, of Clarksville, acting as
ushers. After receiving the con-
gratulations of many friends and
relatives who had assembled, every
body enjoyed sumptous repast and
as soon after this as possible, the
happy couple, together with many
others who were present, started to
Clarksville to be present at the next
event.
CAULFIELD- LD-HENDRICK,
Promptly at the designated hour
this afternoon the large auditorium
of the Presbyterian church began fill
ing with people to witness the bans
uniting for life Mr.. Thomas A. Caul-
field, of Waco, Texas, and Miss Lii
lie M. Hendrick one of Clarksville's
most loveable young ladies, and the
youngest child of DIR. Hendrick.
When the beautiful ceremony was
administered by the brides father,
the church was crowd j to its fullest
capacity. The music was beautiful
and very appropriate, and the appear
ance of the brides and q ooms created
considerable buzz among the bellies
and beaux who evidently envied
them in their glory. This over, the
happy couples returned to the Hen
drlck home, corner of Fourth and
Main streets where supper will be
taken at 6 o'clock, and at $3.50 Mr..
and Mrs. G. w. Hendrick, Mr.. and
Mrs. T. A. Caulfeld, and Mr..
d. S. Hendrick, of Nashville,
will take the North bound train for
New York and other Eastern cities,
TO be away about month.
The presents received by these cou-
pies are profuse, while they are all
fine, useful and ornamental, but at
the request of all interested, no de-
scription of them will be attempted
in this report. AS the CHRONICLE
goes to press everybody seemed to be
astir with gleeful sensation over the
events, aud the weddingers are being
congratulated OH all sides; therefore
the CHRONICLE tips it's hat, and
wishes them all long lives full of con-
tinued JOY, such as is being evidenced
today. Goodbye, God bless you all.

NINE CASES OF FEVER.
AN UGLY CONDITION OF AFFAIRS
AT DECATUR.
Ninty-three New Cases OF Fever at Jack.
sonville and Four Deaths-A Thorough
Fumigation by the Government
No Fever at 81. Augustine.

DECATUR, Oct. 9.-Before thestorm
comes the calm, and such has been
the case in Decatur. For three days
not a case of fever has been reported,
but to-day our physicians inform DR..
Cochran that they have nine new
cases on hand. One death occurred
at p. m. Capt. j. H. Killian, pro-
prietor of the Brooklyn House. He
had only lived in Decatur a few
months, having come here from Flor
ida, although his native home was
Virginia, and his family are now
there. Among the new cases are
Frank r, Phister, clerk in the First
National Bank; VIM. Quarles and A.
NJ. Woodbridge, two white police
men, and six colored, some of them
children. Lizzie Jackson, who has
been reported dying for thirty-six
hours, is still living, and the attend
ing physician now thinks she will
recover.
THE TOTAL NUMBER OF CASES.
to date is 81; total number of deaths,
IS; total number of cases of refugees
from Decatur, 13; number of deaths
of refugees, 8.
Mrs. Bowman, who has passed her
fourth day with the fever, is improv-
ing and will recover. Drs. Buckley
and Littlejohn, both Of whom had
the fever, are now able to attend to
duty, and they are both doing noble
work among the sick and distressed.
All the other sick are doing well and
will recover.
The weather has been very unfa-
vorable for yellow fever for the past
twenty-four hours, and the effect is
seen by the large number of new
cases reported. 1t was warm and
cloudy this morning, During the
day it cleared off and the sun shown
warm, but now it is clondy again
and threatening rain, giving every
indication of worse sday tomorrow
than we have had to-day.
Mayor Frey, of New Decatur, is
becoming very hostile to Decatur
with his autocratic quarantine pow
er, and if he gets much worse there
will likely be some personal trouble,
as a number have already
THREATENED TO MAKE TROUBLE
with the guards if they are prevented
from going to their houses which are
in New Decatur. Heis showing his
self-constituted authority more and
more every day and he needn't be
very much surprised if he has to walk
home some evening without his scalp.
Your correspondent is informed that
he has instructed the quarantine
guards to shoot down any man that
attempts to cross the boundary line
between Decatur and New Decatur,
unless he gives them a pass. This
kind of business might work all
right in Russia, but it won't do in
Decatur.
There is large amount of sickness
reported in New Decatur, but the
attending physicians think the yell
low fever has not got out there yet.
Notwithstanding the desertion Of
all kinds of business the darkeys
have fine time playing baseball
every evening, and they seem really
to enjoy themselves in the national
game.
