THE HAYMARKET RIOT.

MaterialiZe.


CHICAGojsfLL. Dec. 9.-The streets
around Harmarket were thronged with
people all the afternoon who came ex-
pecting some sort of an anarchistic DEM
onstration. More policemen than usually
detailed on these streets were on duty
and did not allow crowds to cOngregate
about the corners or saloons. There
were no more people than usual on the
street and adjoining quarters on Mil
waukee street or in the saloons fire.
quented by anarchists ON the Island
avenue and on Twelfth street. Until
3 O'Clock in the afternoon the
entire force Of policeman was
on reserve. West side stations were
filled with officers up to that hour, but
absolutely no trouble was encountered
either in these localities or elsewhere in
the city. Only one meeting was held i'll
the city so far as known, and that was
held ostensibly by the German freethinl-
ers. for the purpose of organizing a society
'aSiong believers in social and. religious
liberty, the aim of which should be the
founding of school for children where
religion might be entirely done away
with. About 800 people were present,
mostly women and children. Detectives
were present by invitation.

- Some Great RdiIYdy Corporations.
For the year ending December 81 1856,
the London and Northwestern owned in
whole or in part 1884 miles of road, the
second largest mileage in the United
Kingdom, the Great Western operating
2427 miles. 1t owned 2531 engines, 6473
carriages and SO ,423 wagons or, freight
cars. The Midland Railway owned 81 =
1874 wagons and the Northwestern Com
pany rs ,337 The capital of
the London and Northwestern
amounted to f101 ,7G0 goo, equal to about
$500 200 600. The company has since
then not greatly increased its mileage or
its capital. In 1884 it carried "a 1915 III
passengers and 80 SOC $40 tons of freight.
We do not know how many men it en-
ployed 1t was and still is the largest
railway company in Great Britain. The
Pennsylvania Railroad company owned
on January l 1888, 455 miles of road,
and leased and operated in all 1888

Missouri Pacifc,s Drop.

The Missouri Pacific fell below the low
est point ever known since the stock was
quoted on the Stock Exchange, on Tues
day, but yesterday it fell lower still, and
it is now selling for exactly One-half the
price of the stock when Mr. Gould was no
more bullish upon it than he is to-day
As for Atchison, it was thought Il very
rash bet six weeks ago to wager that
it would cross Union Pacific this
year. 1t has done so easily with q whole
month to spare, and now if New England
would only stand still for while or brace
up little, Atchison would soon catch up
with that fancy too. What would you
think of wager that Union Pacific would
catch up with Burlington and Quincy
within six months? There are probably
people enough who would be willing to
lay that wager without asking big odds

4 Horrible Conspiracy.

There have been several occasions in
the history of this country when the life
of newly elected president has been in
grave danger. The memorable trip of
Abraham Lincoln to Washington just
previous to his first Inauguration is
familiar to the present generation.
Threats against Hayes were not few.
Garfield, Arthur and Cleveland were
marked as victims by irresponsible
"cranks - But not since the days of
Lincoln has there been an organized con-
spiracy against the life of a president.
1t is therefore with the utmost horror
that the Journal contemplates the details
of a conspiracy against the lifeQf General
Harrison wRich has just been brought
to its notice. EXPOSURE of the diabolical
plot may, however, prevent Its consum-
nation. The plan seems to be about like
this:
The president must make a trip
to Washington not later than March (.
He will doubtless travel by rail. Upon
this probability hinges the possible sue
cess of this ingenious plot. He Will ride
in 4 luxurious car, furnished with all the
comforts known to modern travel. APP
parently no effort viii be spared to insure
his comfort and safety.
But somewhere on that train viii be
concealed the Deadly Car Stove. 1t is
expected to be the chief actor in the con-
spiracy; to it has been assigned the duty
of committing the awful deed. 1t will
have for its co-conspirators General Indif-
ference, Patient Public, Broken Rail,
Open Switch, General Wreck and othersss
1t is for these to furnish the opportrSfdg
for the principal actor in the TRAGEDY to
do the part that has been assigned 20
him. If they should fail the plot WeRn
fail and the president-e would estape.

Journal
Accepted 1u Atchiso,,.

The city council of Atchison, Kan. af-
ter a protracted debate, has voted to ac-
cept the proposition of the Missouri Pa
ciffc to locate the proposed new shops of
the company at that point. The city COIL
tributes to the enterprise 500 900. The
question hinged on the stand taken by
five of the councilmen, that as a condi-
ton precedent to the ordinance to several
outlaying additions should come into the
city limits. The owners of these finally
consented, and the ordinance passed by a
vote of nine to one amidst applause. The
company three years ago bought 100 acres
of ground west of the city upon which to
locate shops, and Il proposition was later
submitted, but the two great strikes in
tervened and the project was abandoned.

Cattle Shipments UnreasOnabIy Heavy-Talk OF
Another Roller Flour Mill

Another Roller Flour Mill.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
ABILENE, Ten, Dec. 9.-The cattle
shipments from this point have been
more than usually heavy for this time of
the season. The Texas and Pacific Rail
road receipts show that over one-fifth of
the cattle hauled over their line this year
were shipped from Abilene. The Hittson
Ranch shipped yesterday two train loads
of fine beef cattle for the Northern mar
kets. The range still remains good and
stock will go through the winter in this
section with very little loss if any.
County court has been in session during
the past week. The docket was light,
no eases of much Importance being dis
posed of.
Dr.. Turner, who was reported last
week as sent to jail in default of bail has
given the required bond and is out
amongst his friends once more. The doc
tor says he has come back to Abilene to
live and does not propose to be dis
couraged by his misfortunes.
There is considerable talk of the erec-
ton of another roller process flour mill,
and those who have the matter in charge
speak very hopefully of its success. The
Alliance people, it is understood, are be-
hind the enterprise pushing it. 1t is
hoped the undertaking viii prove success
full. Abiline wants all the manufactures
see can get.

l, when the law requiring criminals TO
be executed by electricity goes into effect
Up to the present there has been some
doubt as to whether certain results could
always be produced by electricity, but
Yesterdays experiments settled the ques-
ton definitely. The first victim was
calf weighing 12413 pounds. The hair
was cut on the forehead and on the spine
behind the fore legs, and sponge-covered
plates, moistened i'll sulphate of zinc,
were fastened i'll place. The resistance
of the animal was 5000 Ohms. An alter
mating current of 700 volts was applied
for thirty seconds and the animal was
killed instantly. 1t was dissected by
Drs. Ingram and Bleyer, but the brain,
heart and lungs were found to be in nor
NAL condition, and the meat was pro-
nounced tit for food One metal
plate carrying the current touched
the hair of the forehead and
slightly burned it, but other
wise there were no external indications
of injury. The second calf weighed 145
pounds, and had a resistance of 1900
ohms. The deadly alternating current
at 700 volts pressure was applied for five
seconds, and produced instant death.
A horse weighing 1890 pounds was next
killed by passing the alternating current
at 700 volts from one fOreleg to the other.
The resistance of this animal was II 900
Ohms. The experiments prQxed the
alternating current to be the nlsytdeadly
aprce known to science.

STA There has recently been adopted on
all Russian railroads an ingenious device.
1t consists merely of a tablet, conspicu-
ously displayed IN each compartment of
the train, bearing the name of the next
stOpping-p place. A simple bit of mechan-
ism enables one of the train hands to
make the necessary change for each sta
ton. Such an arrangement is compare
lively inexpensive and is of very great
service to passengers.
The success of General r. A. Cameron,
commissioner of immigration of the Fort
Worth and Denver, i'll bringing people to
the Panhandle of Texas is due in large
part to the methods he has pursued i'll
placing the country bfeore the
people. General Cameron studied the
Panhandle closely, he went among the
farmers and the people generally who
knew what the land would do and then
he could say to the people of Iowa and
other states, elf you will come to Texas
and settle on the line of the Fort
Worth and Denver anywhere from
Wichita Falls up to TeXline You
can raise wheat, oats, barley, rye, sor-
ghum, the forage crops generally, and
by adding few cattle you viii 90 well,
but you should not try 10 raise cotton and
corn. - What General Cameron told
then has been verified. Those who have
come and who have followed
his advice have done well,
and will do better. The finest wheat
which has been bought in Fort Worth
this year came from Wilbarger county,
and hundreds of thousands of bushels of
splendid wheat will be grown along the
Fort Worth and Denver in 1889. In
fact this very section will become the
granaTy of the United States. 1t has al
ready paid the Fort Worth and Denver to
have the land properly studied and prop
erly represented. Railroads employing in
telligent immigration commissioners like
General Cameron will reap their reward.
The people who come are not disappointed
and the railroad company has i'll conse-
quence a contented set of patrons. Fort
Worth will also profit by the wise action
taken.

The fact that the Fort Worth and Rio

rails published yesterday was received

looked upon as an indication that work
