The Chicago Street Car Strike.

Chicago is all broke n up over the strike of
the street car drivers. On Sunday. Oct. 7th.
fully one thousand hacks, hansoms. omni,
buses, express wagons, grocery carts and
Vehlcles OF every description moved in one
continuous stream from the county building
to the city limits and back again. There
were more of them in fact than there were
loads OF passengers to carry This con-
dltlon OF affairs was due to the action
OF the executive committee of the strikers in
issuing general appeal to everyone
having vehicles not otherwise employed

The meeting of the trades and labor assembly
was much more numerously attended than
usual, in anticipation that the strike
would come up for consideration Addresses

a Sunday telegram from Chicago said:
The first melee of the strike occurred shortly
after midnight this morning A number of
imported workmen under the guise of private
detectives arrived at the Larrabee street
barn under escort of Capt. Setback and g.
score OF city police. They were endeavoring
20 get under cover without observation.
when crowd of strikers on the other side of
the street began to shout 'sscab'' This in
turiated the captain, who, springing from his
buggy, ordered the officers to dispense the
crowd. They were slow in obeying, and
springing to the front with the cry, sCow-
ards, disperse this mob!' the officer with his
men N, behind him, bounced upon the strikers.
The latter quickly dispersed in every direc-
ton, but not until more than half dozen
had been severely dubbed. A good deal of
bad feeling was manifested at the strikers
headquarters to-day over this episode, and
the reading aloud of a dispatch from Phila-

Attempted Assassination.

An attempt was made to assassinate W..
81. Edmonds, editor of the Hot Blast, in his
office at Annisten, Ala The trouble grew
out Of enmity aroused by the Hot Blasts

Prohibition laws. A week before four ex-

affair was sent to the Montgomery Dispatch

reference to the communication. and Law

Another Swindler Exposed.

One of the biggest swindling schemes that
has been worked in New York for many years
has been brought to light by the disappear
ance of one William III. Ingham and closing
the brokerage office of'sW II. 1ngham & CO..
According to all accounts he made his ap-
pearance in New York thelatter part of April
1857, and opened the Office Of W. H. Ing
ham & Co., at No. 40 Broadway His entry
on the scene was soon followed by the an.
pearance OF advertisements in sundry pro-
vincial papers, calling attention to the i'm
mense profits to be gained by investing in
w H. lngham Co. s speculative syndi-
cate. The Syndicate was briefly described
as mutual pool, which was to operate in
stocks, bonds and grain, under the direction
OF w. II. Inghan & Co. At the end of the
first month printed statement was for
Warded to all stockholders-for members
as they were termed-showing that the pro-
|. fits for the month of May, 1887, were 50 per
cent. OF course these profits were all pure
~ imaginary, and such dividends as we're
paid were paid out Of the money invested by
the dupes. On the 29th of September he
mailed q card to his victims, announc-
ing that in consequence of members
soicltatlons he had met with heavy losses.
which had forced him to suspend with the
loss of the entire syndicate memb ership' g
capital, "and all its business and offices are
closed" According to the stories of the 9TH
efOccupants OF the building at No 30 Broad
way, Ingram was last seen at his office on
Saturday the Goth of Sept. He had had a
Yale lock put on the outer door when he re-
moved to his new Office, and as he took the
key with him no one can now get into the
room. A glimpse through the letter slit,
however, shows big accumulation of mail
lying on the floor, whereit had fallen through
the slit. Scores of undelivered kilograms for
lngham were also lying at the adjacent tele-
graph Offices.
Ingham would never allow the janitor or any
one else to see both his rooms at once, and
apparently removed important books and
papers into the rear room and locked the
door when the woman cleaned the front Office
His residence is given in the directory as No.
80 Broadway, and there is no clue to either
his actual residence or himself. He is not a
member of the New York stock exchange, the
consolidated exchange or the pro
duce exchange. There are some rea-
sons for thinking that he came to New York
from Chicago.

Emperor Williams Purpose.

A Berlin telegram says-Count Douglas, q
prominent Conservative member of the land
tag, in a speech to his constituents alluded
to Emperor Williams personal qualities and
his political and religious views. He declared
that when Emperor William attended the
Russian maneuvers in 1886 he successfully
used his influence against the policy then be-
ing followed by Russia. The greatness of
Germany and the preservation of the mon
archical principle are the sole objects of EN-
peror William s inclination and purpose In
view of the confidence felt in the emperor
people no longer asked Whatwould become of
Germany when she was deprived of Prince
Bismarck. The endeavors to attribute to
the emperor personal partisanship in favor
of certain party views were distortions of
facts. Count Douglas said that Emperor
William did not favor the extreme political
and religious views of Pastor Stocker, the
well known anti-Semitic. He was not identi-
fed with the high church. His relations with
Pastor Stocker were transitory and purely
humane. The emperor certainly deprecated
the anti-JeWish agitation. Count Douglas
also said that Emperor Frederick had
authorized the wife of Emperor William to
assume the head of the Berlin Town Mission
association. The speech has created sem
sation, on account of Count Douglas close
relations to the imperial court.

Chicago Street Car Middle.

The street car strike in Chicago continues.
On Monday oct. 8, six open cars, drawn By
horses and manned by about adozen police
men each, left thecity limits car barns destined
for the business center The cars, which were
run in bunch, preceded by a patrol wagon
load OF policemen, were not molested by the
two or three hundred strikers and onlookers
gathered around the barns. The down trip
was made successfully without any mishaps
to speak of, although the cars were some
what hampered by the crowd of vehicles which
took up the tracks.
Mayor Roche acted the role of peacemaker,
and when he left his office for the evening it
seemed probable that he had acted the part
successfully. The first committee to call
upon him represented the strikers They
came to inquire the exact extent of the power
possessed by the private detectives The
mayor informed the committee that the de
tectives only had authority to protect the
property of the company while inside of that
property. AS soon as the detectives were on
the street they lose all right as officers
While the committee was in conference an
other committee of fourex-conductors on the
North side line was admitted. This commit
tee complained bitterly that some of the po-
lice were acting practically as employees of
the street ear company. They had helped
hitch and unhitch the horses, ring the bell
and collect fares. The mayor said this was
all done without his knowledge or consent, and
an order forbiding the police doing anything
except guard the property of the company
was issued. The committee also complained
that Capt. Setback had violently dispersed
a peaceful crowd on the North side the night
before. The mayor promised to investigate
the matter. 1t was following these confer
ences that the mayor called in President
Yerkes, and the latter concluded to dispense
entirely with the services of the private armed
guards.

Curious Stabbing Affair.

A stabbing ARRAY which will probably
terminate fatally took place at Winona,
Mimi, in the yard adjoining Burmeister's
hotel. Two farmers brothers-in-law, named
Herman Bakbe and Herman Bemke of Rush
Creek, came into town and put up their team
in Burmeister's stable. After spending the
afternoon about town and drinking some,
they returned about Gao and ordered the
hostler. Charles zuetke. to get out their team
He made some reply about their coming
around after dark instead of going home by
daylight, and started for the barn, followed
by the two men. Just what followed is not
known, but in a short time Zuetke was
heard loudly crying for help, and soon came
running into the hotel dripping with blood
and fell down exhausted. Officer
Schoening arrested Bakbe but his
brother-in-law fed and could not be found.
Zuetke was frightfuliy cut up,
ten stabR being reported in his back three
in his left arm, bad cash near the heart
and some smaller cuts. He is too feeble to
make any statement and will pr obably die.
Bakbe was jailed and knife found on his
person, but with no evidence of blood on it
nor on his person, and it is thought his
brother-in-law Bemke, who is at large, did
the cutting. Much excitement exists and
Burmeister has been compelled to lock up
his hotel to keep away the crowd.

prise to those who were acquainted with
the discouragements which beset this
country. The magnificent railway depo
at Wa-Keeney was built in 1879 by the
Kansas Pacific Railway company and War

the finest building between Kansas City

1t is built of stone. The Keeney Block,
grand stone structure, two stories high
above the basement, 100 feet in front and
so feet deep, was built by J. F. Keeney
in 1880. It has often occurred to us that
these three buildings just named, while
they may be said not to have been indis-
pensable in the years of gloom which fol-
lowed their erection, did perhaps impress
hundreds and thousands of passers-by
with vivid impressions of the splendid
civilization which inspired that architec-
ture; and who knows that many people
who have come here since the setting in
of happier days were not impelled to do
so by the visions which they had treasured
of the sights of these buildings in what
they viewed at first as a decaying town
on the desert plains? Wa-Keeney was
in the early part of 1880 as a
city of the third-class. The present pop

In those twenty years the number OF
men embraced in these five classes OF
workers increased from 261, 600 to 925, OOO
an increase of 1900, or over 254 pei
cent. In the same period the population
increased less than 81 per cent. The
large increase in their number, in COM
parison with the increase in population,
should be gratifying to the farmers of the
United States, as it means a proportion
ate increase of consumers and a proper
tomato decrease of producers of farm
products. If the products made by the
workers named above were made in
Europe, the American farmers would be
obliged to exchange $4,000 American
consumers, earning $3.50 per day each,
for 925, 600 Europeans, earning less than
S1.25 per day. Further, the farm sup
plies for the 925,00O Americans do not
have to be shipped out of this country,
whereas the supplies for the same num-
Der of Europeans would have to be
shipped 1000 miles, and the shipment
would have to be borne by the farmers,
as the free traders tell us that the prices
of farm products, for the world, are fixed
in Liverpool.
In brief the questions for the American
farmers to answer are:
l. Is an increased number of consum-
ers and decreased number of COMPETE
tors, or the reverse, the best for our in
terests?
2. Which are the best customers, 925,-
GOO Americans, earning good wages, and
close to our doors, or 925,OOO Europeans,
earning half the wages, and 1000 miles
away?
OF course the intelligent farmer knows
the chief cause of the great increase in
the number of consumers of farm prod
ucts in this Countrywide protective tariff

since 1860.
