No Signs of a Settlement.

CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-It was in the
small hours when the conference adj
journed. There had been nc agree
ment, and the nights we' 4 work
was worse than fruitless. me report
that President Yerkes had gone to
the Mayors Office at midnight proved
erroneous. Mayor Roche before the
midnight conference had spent sew
eral hours with Mr.. Yerkes at the
Union League Club, presumable la
boring to bring the magnate to a
compromise. Mr.. Yerkes, however,
was utterly unbending. The best he
would do would be to reinstate
the West side men in a body if
they wonld resume work imme-

NEGRO RIOT IN ALABAMA.
An Accidental Killing Causes a Riot at
Smiths Mines.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Oct. 10--At
Smiths Mines, eight miles from this
city, today at noon freight train in
charge of Engineer Brown and Con-
ductor Brantiy on the Birmingham
Mineral Railroad ran over and in
stantly killed negro woman named
Clara Dickson, who was drunk and
lying asleep on the track. Her body
was ground to pieces and the fraga
ments scattered over the the track for
a hundred yards. AS soon as the
accident occurred 1900 negroes col
lected around the remains of the dead
woman and began to curse and make
all kinds of threats to the train crew.
When the train men attempted to
remove the remains Of the dead wo-
man from the track the negro mob
charged them. Stones were thrown
at the train men and several
shots fired. The negro mob then
cried in one voice, "Let's lynch the
murderers." Two negroes procured
a rope and the mob rushed ON the
trainmen. The latter took to the en-
gine and only saved their lives by
cutting their engine loose from the
train and escaping. The leaders
among the negroes were drunken
men. Great excitement prevails
around Smiths mines over the mat
ter.

McKENzIE's SPEECH.
To The Farmers of the Surrounding
County on Several Topics To-day.

There were people in the city at
noon to-day from the country for
many miles away to listen to the elo-
quence of Kentucky's cicero, Hon.
James A. Mckenzie. The circuit
court room was filed at 1880 o'clock
when the speaker mounted the stand
and he began his oration by stating
that he was much better politician
than farmer, but as he mixed consid-
erably with both these classes, he
would direct his remarks to-day to
the farmers, but was of necessity com
PEELED to spice his talk with an occa-
sional sprinkle of politics. He con
tinued to show that the great
majority of taxes of all kinds come
from the tiller of the soil and that
eight-tenths of the entire revenue Of
the country come from men worth
less than $4,000. He proved his as
sertions by facts and figures in his
possession, and this he contended
was for want of proper unity among
the farming classes of this great agri-
cultural country. The speaker en-,
tanned his vast audience for an hour
in showing the great benefits the
farmer would derive by protecting
himself against combinations and
great capitalists. He produced some
wonderful arguments showing why
tobacco planters should guard their
interests by refusing to cultivate the
plant next year, and holding to-
geather in many other ways. The
speaker was many times loudly APP
plauded and was listened to through
out with intense interest.

committee was past midnight, can
perhaps be guessed from the grum
message that Coyne sent to the hall
where the men were waiting. The
message was: "Tell the men to go
home and be at the barns in the
morning to see that no cars go OUT"
Chief of Police Hubbard was asked
what would be done by the authori-
ties. he said: "We shall meet
force with force and the cars will be
run. The peace will be maintained
if it is necessary to bring out cannon"

Times in One Day.

PITTsBURG, PA, Oct. 1O.-Miss
Virginia Knox, of this city, and
Giuseppe Carusi, Count di Monter-
cole, of Italy, were married at City
Hall at high noon. Later the mar
riage ceremony was again performed
at Trinity Episcopal Church by Rev.
Samuel Maxwell, and at st. Paul's
Cathedral by Bishop Phelan. The
first or civil marriage was to satisfy
the requirement of Italian law, while
the ceremonies at Trinity and St.
Paul's were deemed essential by the
individual religious preferences of
the contracting parties. The newly
married couple left for New York on
the 8 o'clock train tonight, and will
sail for Havre on the steamer La
Normandy next Saturday. Arriving
at Havre they will proceed at once to
Italy, where they will make their
home. The bride was the daughter

sensibility- Attempted Move
meut of Cars Attended with
Dangerous Results.

CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. 10.-The first
shooting affray incident to the strike
occurred this afternoon on. Western
avenue, near Madison. George Ker-
stem, assistant superintendent of the
Ogden avenue barn, and an employe
named Gubbins, both of whom drove
cars yesterday, were driving in a
buggy. When they approached
Western avenue a mob recognized
them and began yelling traits !"
''scabsr Kersten and Gubbins drew
revolyers and fred a dozen shots
into the crowd. A policeman jump
ed into buggy and pursued them.
He overlook and arrested both amid
shower of rocks. The officer drove
rapidly to the Desplaines street sta
ton, where the men were placed in
Jail. The only shot known havet
struck any one hit P. Began in the
thigh.
Another riot occurred on the North
side. AT Indiana street several
thousand persons gathered and piled
distractions on the track. A gang
Of men were clearing away the debris
when a fusilade was commenced by
the crowd Rocks and clubs flew
through the air. The following
track-clearers were injured: Mike
Gibbons, cut on the scalp, badly
bruised and seriously injured Au-
gust Anderson, struck with a brick
and his face badly smashed; Nate G.
Rhine, struck in several places by fly
ing bricks. The police charged the
crowd and scattered them. The
wounded men were taken to neigh
boring drug store and their wounds
dressed.
The wild scenes of the afternoon at
the Western Avenue barn We're
eclipsed at 4 o'clock when a car was
brought out of the barns. Then
blood followed. Lieut.. Shea cleared
the streets in front of the barn doors,
and a car with four police on each
platform rolled out. A shower of
rocks Immediately broke the win
doWs and struck thepolicemen. The
police charged and repulsed the mob
with clubs. Returning to the car
more rocks flew, and the police made
various onslaughts on the mob, using
their clubs freely. Many people were
beaten into insensibility and carried
away by their friends. The 1900
people became frenzied mob. Cap
tain Aldrich drove about in a buggy
bare-headed with the blood stream
ing from wounds on his head and !
giving directions to his men. Sew
eral reporters were badly cut by fly
ing missiles.
AT Oakley avenue the police again
had to fight through the mob. Sew
eral shots Wsere fired but no one was
hurt. The balance of the trip until
the barn was reached was repetition
of the same occurrences. A general
feeling Of alarm exists throughout the
city at the reports Of increasing vio-
lence. Vigorous measures will be
adopted Immediately and every effort
made to prevent recurrence of
to-day's events.

RUMoR CONFIRMED.

The rumor of terrible accident
near Penn Haven is confirmed. The
fifth division of the Father Mathew
excursion returning from Hazelton
was wrecked and the cars piled in a
shapeless mass, one being stood upon
its end. All the cars were crowded
and the fatalities will run into awful
figures. All physicians from White
Haven and near by points are at the
wreck, as also all Lehigh Valley
officials from this city. The num-
ber killed is variously reported from
twenty-five to eighty persons. The
only information is from passengers
on the Central Railroad trains, who
report a horrible condition of affairs,
the groans of the wounded being
heard across the river, where the
tracks of the Central run. AT the
depot here hundreds of people are
gathered on the platform, many
weeping for the safety of their friends
to be on the wrecked train.
Nothing further than this is known

bis peculiar actions attracted attention to
