FIGHT AT BEVlER.
Strikers and Imported Swedes Shoot With
Fatal Results.

Strikers and Imported Swedes Shoot With
Fatal Results.
MACON, Mo-, Nov. 12.-About 200 striking
miners and thirty-five Swedes stood on
opposite sides of the street in Bevier at $3.50
O'Clock Saturday night and shot at each
other for ten minutes, and as a result
Charles Anderson, a young Swede, was
MORALLY wounded, and two others received
less dang srous bullet wounds. The trouble
then quieted down. No one was arrested
and it is not likely any will be as the par
ties differ as to which fired the first shot.
Thomas Williams. the postmaster of Be.
vier, says he was shot at while standing
in front of his store by some one of the
Swedes and that this started the trouble,
while the new men claim that when three
of their number were returning from town
some one fred at them from behind the
depot The telegraph operator at Bevier,
after two shots had passed through his
office, left his instrument and sought
refuge from the flying bullets. None Of
the town officers attempted to quell the
disturbance or arrest any offenders. The
sheriff of Macon County summoned a
posse Of twenty men and took them to the
depot at Macon. Here they remained all
night waiting for orders.
Yesterday every thing was quiet, and at
present no further disturbance is looked
for. The operators were not concerned in
this latest alteration, it being merely a
fight between the men. Thomas E. War
dell brought in thirty Swedes from Chi
cage last week, and they will all be set to
work to-day. The mines are now all
working with imported labor. There is q
report which has not been substantiated
that one of the strikers was killed and was
secretly buried.

Here are two stories about Horace
Greeley: Mr.. Greeley was sensitive to
errors in his proofs, and sometimes broke
loose in thunders Of reprobation. A serious
blunder of this sort turned the milk OF
kindness into koumiss, which exploded
and deluged the Office, making printers
and proof readers pale at the element
which engulfed them. An inverted comma
stung him like a mosquito. A mistake in
q table of election returns set him into
such fury as the red flag of the picodor
dindles in the Catalonian bull. "Hender-
son," he said once to the compiler OF these
sterile statistics, who had made an error
of two votes in the returns from the Molly
muck a muck district in the MOOseluc-
maguntic region of Northeastern Maine.

''Yes, he did," said Henderson, ''but l

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 9.-The weather

very muddy yesterday, but Pennsylvania

thousands of horns were blowing and the
din was such that one could not hear or
speak Around the quarters of the Re-
publican State Committee surged crowd
IF 5000 or 1000, while the corridors of the
hotel were jammed. Along Washington
and Illinois streets were gathered large
crowds shouting and cheering for General
Harrison.
In the crowds were many mel wearing

were headless. Another device for anus.

March 4. Not good to return. G.. Cieve-
land, Captain. A. G. Thurman, Mate"
The coupon bears the names Of such land
ings as jacksonville, Meyerstow q. Jewetts-
burg and Bynumsboro. Thousands OF
these mementoes of the election circulated
in the city.
All day long, despite heavy rain. inn
promptu professions led by kazoo bands
marched up and down the streets, filing
the air with hideous noises. Every train
broughtcrowds from the country. BUSH
ness was practically suspended and the
streets jammed.
Throughout the day, whenever the rain
ceased falling, the distant boom of the
cannon echoed the enthusiasm of the
thousands of celebrating Republicans.
About four O'Clock the rain which had
been pouring steadily for five hours
ceased, and in an incredibly short time
with the yelling, hooting, horn blow
ing thousands marching back and
forth utterly regardless Of the mud
and water.
As evening came on the factories and
stores added their hundreds to the how'll
ing, screaming rabble. Between seven
and eight O'Clock the excitement had near
ly reached the frenzy point with a good

few quarrels occurred. A few buildings
were illuminated with Chinese lanterns,
and the noise of cannon, anvils, fire-crack-
ers and tin horns, which continued until
after nine o'clock. could be plainly heard
as far out as General Harrison's residence.
The General and his family, except for
these distant echoes, were unconscious OF
the stirring scenes in the city. Except for
short walk yesterday morning, he did
not leave his residence since election day.

COMPLEXION OF CONGRESS.
The House Will BE Very Close, But Prob
ably Republican.

The House VIII he Very Close, But Prob
ably Republican.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 81 do not see any
reason to reverse the estimate made yes
terday relative to the strength Of the Re.
publican majority in the next House,"
said Secretary Mcpherson of the Repub.
lican Congressional Campaign COMMITTEES
yesterday afternoon. Il can't imagine
what basis there is for the claim made in
New York that the Democrats will retain
control of the House. All of the informa.
ton obtainable this morning justi-
fies me in expressing the opinion
that the next House will consist of 1I3
Republicans and 152 Democrats. There
is a possibility that the Republican ma
jority may be reduced by later advices to
nineteen or twenty. but have made lib
eral allowances in my calculations for all
Democratic claims"
Representative Breckinridge, of Ken
lucky, Democratic member Of the Ways
and Means Committee, expresses the opin-
ion that the Republican majority in the
next House will be very slender and is
confident that it can not exceed ten in any
event. According to his calculation the
Republicans must show gain Of nineteen
Representatives to secure a majority, and
he does not believe that they have much
exceeded that figure.
