CRIMES and ACCIDENTS.
wATCHMEN SHOT DOWN
BY Thieves in the Yards of the Chicago
& Alton r. r.

CHICAGO, April 4.
Eli ID. kreigh and Dan BRASIL, watchmen
on the Chicago 4 Alton railroad in Chicago,
were shot last night, the former being in
stantly killed and the latter mortally wound
ed.
For a time it was thought that strikers
might have been the assailants but this theory
was exploded.
The business of these watchmen was to
escort freight trains to the outer limits of the
yards, keeping lookout for thieves who
have given the railroads great trouble. The
conductor of the train said the watchmen
found three men on car soon after the
train pulled out. They were ordered off
and jumped to the ground. Soon after on
going to the rear of the train the watchmen
discovered the same men and attempted to
put them off.
The conductor who was close behind
heard two shots and saw Kreigh and Brasill
fall TO the floor of the caboose. Hurrying
to the rear door he saw a revolver pointed at
him and slammed the door just as a shot
was fired. The train was stopped and the
police notified. The murderers have not yet
been captured.

The modes of deaths approach are various.

they start into life and develop, at first slowly
and are shown by slight tickling sensation in
the throat and if allowed to continue their
ravages they extend to the lungs producing
Consumption and to the head, causing Ca

lowed to proceed will in time cause death.

PROVIDENCE, X. l., April 1.
With fair weather today the election is
progressing quietly, and an unusually large
vote is being polled. Up 10 noon there was
a strong republican majority polled in this
city. There was some indication that the
democratic vote was hanging back until a
later hour. Enos Lapham, the republican
candidate for lieutenant governor, is being
freely scratched, and bogus republican tick
cts are in circulation with the name of How
ard Smith substituted for Lapham and of
Ziba .. Slocum, the democratic nominee, in
place of Heratio Rogers, the republican can
didate for attorney general. The Bourne
amendment is meeting with considerable OPP
position. The city vote at noon, with one
ward lacking in which no tally had been kept,
showed the following result: Taft, republi-
can, 2,s,0; Davis, democrat, l,703; Gould,
prohibition, 225. This is considered a large
vote for this hour.
A heavy vote is reported from Woon-
socket. The straight State tickets are voted
there, and money is being put forth in plen-
ty.

Morse. NJ. S. Ilolway for plaintiff, A, NJ.
Goddard for defendant. This is an action
of trover to recover for two drums of the al
legged value of Slj and it grows out of the
parades of the Salvation Army in
Augusta during the summer of 1885.
1t comes by appeal from the mu-
nicpal court of Augusta, and the plaintiff
claims that while in command of the Augusta
corps of the Salvation Army, and while pa
rading with his corps on Water street, on the
30th of August, 1885, and
using in the procession the
drums in question which he claims were his
property, or of which he had such control
and possession as would enable him to main
tain this action, the defendant seized the
drums and refused to deliver them up. He
admits that after his suit was bro lgbt for the
recovery of their value, and several months
after their seizure they were givens sup to his
successor in the command of the corps, and
he accordingly claims now only nominal
damages. The defendant admits that he
seized the drums but claims in de encc that
he was justified in 50 doing to preserve the
public peace as marshal of the city
because they were being used il
violation of an ordinance OF
the city. He also claims further that tn,
title to the drums was in the Salvation Army
ana not in the plaintiff, and therefore on thi,
ground he cannot maintain the action. The
jury took the case at s. 10 +. NJ and after
being out half an hour returned with a yer
dict for the defendant.

BOYCOTT LII TED
And the Burlington Yards Jammed With
Freight.

Chicago. Apr. 4.
The huge boycott against the Burlington
road was tull lifted today. The Burlington
yards are jammed with freight from other
roads. All the roads having communication
with the 20" road continued sending in
freight TO the 90. There seemed TO be no
end to the freight held in check by the boy
colt on the 90" A great deal more
freight was received by the ''Q" people today
than was sent out by them. Whether II
will be able to handle it all without difficulty
and transact its own business as we'll with
the present force remains TO be seen.

What the Smaller Towns Did Toward
the VICTORY

The election of State officers is a sweeping
victory for the republicans. The city of
Pawtucket sends full republican delegation
of six representatives and Il senator.
The big town of Woonsocket sends full
republican delegation of five representatives
and senator.
With two or three exceptions, where the
democl ats retained their hold, or wher
there was no election, the republicans re-
gained every town lost last year. One town.
though, Darlington, always republican
through thick and thin, was captured by the
democrats through local issues and personal
feelings.
The gubernatorial ticket was elected with
but little variance in the vote of any of the
candidates. The independent opposition to
the republican candidate for lieutenant gov
crnor, was largely offset by special efforts in
his behalf in Kent county, where is large
mill owner.
/ In this city the full strength of the col
ored vote was called out by tie fact that
there was a representative of the race on
both the republican and democratic tickets
The exact status of the general assembly
can't be given on account of the failure OF
the election in Newport and couple OF
towns. When the complete assembly is il
grand committee it has one hundred anc
( eight members. The republicans now have
eighty-two members.
