BlOOdsh.d Over a Right Of wsy.

DENVER, Sept. 2I.-FOr several days
there has been trouble brewing at As
pen between the Midland and Denver
s. Rio Grande roads about the right of
way out of camp into the Utah line.
Y Yesterday the quarrel caused the she'd
ding of blood and further trouble is ex-
pected. The Rio Grande train was
drawn out of the street in accordance
with the orders Of the city council, but
1t was replaced later. Yesterday after
noon, the Midland being ready to COM
piete its track, sent a force of men to
clear the way. Men boarded the Rio
Grande cars obstructing the track and
commenced to unload, preparatory to
getting them out of the way. Mr.. Wa
tiers of the Rio Grande soon appeared
with men and ordered them to beat of
the Midland forces. a conflict imme-
diately ensued, in which shOvels and
picks were freely used and several men
were badly hurt. President Scott of
of the Midland was himself struck in
the breast. knocked down and badly in
jured. The city marshal and deputies
interfered, and with great difficulty
stopped the fight and placed the Mid
land men under arrest. The Midland
applied for an injunction against
the Rio Grande, and one was issued,
bit the latter road refused to recognize
il. A sheriff posse then took posses
sion OF the ground, and are holding
both tracks and train of cars against
both parties The men who were ar
rested Wednesday for holding the
ground with Winchesters had their
fines paid this morning by Mr.. Willers
of Richmond. Feeling is running very
high between the two companies.

DETROIT, Sept. 22.-The grain men
of Detroit and various portions of the
country are just at present deeply
agitated over swindling game in
which they are more or less interested.
The swindle is new and unique. J. w.
Helm of panville, well known and
extensive grain dealer, has among his
customers the firm of KiZer Bros. of
Hammond, Illinois, although he never
personally met the members Of that
firm. A few weeks ago, while on q
railway train in Illinois, MIR. Helm was
approached by a stranger who intro
duced himself as Mr.. Kizer OF Ham
mond, Illinois. Helm was delighted
to meet him." The stranger offered
Helm several cars of grain and the lat
ter made an offer, which was accepted
the following day by letter. with a re-
quest that Helm meet ''Mr. Kizer'' at
the depot with e., 100. Helm complied
and the following day received bills of
lading for seven or eight addi-
tional cars of grain. and RENTED
50 500 UtoTe. A few days later
they met at fair in Champaign,
when Kizer succeeded in getting Helm
to put him on solid financial footing
with the BuZzer bank of Urbana, Illinois,
but day or two interviewed before
AIScE pEcSO0JcU OAllS OI idul1R on u ..
LaPham Il Co. of Detroit, on which

closing bills of lading for ten carloads
of grain on Wardwell & Mcintyre OF
New York, requesting 81, $50 to be ex-
pressed to KiZer Bros, Ivesdale, Hi.
nois. The bank refused the request
and seat the bills of lading and draft
to KiZer Bros, of Hammond. This
was the first intimation of crookedness
going on in their name. They notified
that the transaction was a forgery
The total number of bills forged by tht
spurious KiZer were on thirty-five car
loads of grain on prominent New
York, Detroit and Cincinnati firms
The only losers are j. w. Helm s. Co.
81 800, and BUYERS bank $3.50. wh'
have made good the losses to grain
firms. AS yet the identity of tn
swindler and forger remains undis
covered.

fell upon the basement floor twelve
feet below. The roof was splintered
and among the wreck were grooming

Aid For Psrsr snEarars.

CAIRO, ILL.,, Sept. 22.-While the peo-
pie of this city have guarded them
selves well against contagion from yell
low fever, they have not been unmind-
full of the sufferings of the afflicted in
the south. Yesterday afternoon a
memorable event took place for the
benefit of the people of Jacksonville.
A game of base ball was played. which
was remarkable from the fact that the
two clubs were composed of leading
citizens, nearly all of exceptionally
great avoirdupOis, aged from forty to
seventy years. About 1900 people
gathered at the grounds. Only three
innings were played, when the game
was called on account of rain, the
score standing II to II for the Mud
cats" against the "SkfpjackS." The
affair yielded nearly $4OO for the suffer
ers in Jacksonville. which will be at
once forwarded to them.

New YORK, Sept. 20.-To spectators
standing mt the great door of st. Pat
riek's cathedral on Fifth avenue this
morning, an impressive scene was pre-
sented. The vast array of heads that
interviewed between the door and
grand high altar told of thousands of
Catholics of this city who had assem-
bfed in the sacred edilice to participate
in the silver jubilee of Archbishop
Corrigan Inside the sanctuary walls
were rows of seats filed with mem
beers of the clergy, numbering about
$50. The altar was simply but i'm
pressively adorned with palms. There
were no other floral decorations. AT

an outrags br Chicago Hoodlum..

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-As the Chicago
bound Alton express train was passing
Thirty-foarth street last night. a
number of unknown hoodlums per-
petrated an outrage which. for pure
fiendishness, has seldom been equalled.
The train was crowded with passen-
gers and moving at rapid rate. Sud
denly a shower of stones and huge
chunks of clay came crashing against
one side of the train, breaking the
windows and greatly alarming the
passengers. A man in the smoking
car was struck by heavy stone and
knock into the aisle. Splintered glass
from broken windows flew in every
direction. The man escaped with a
bruised shoulder, and a slight cut on
the hand. Mrs. James Grange was
seated by a window in the second
coach. A piece of flying glass struck
her in the face, inflicting a wound
which may result in the loss of her left
eye. The glass cut through her lower
lid into the white of the eye. Every
car in the train was bombarded by the
the ruffians. The train was stopped
as soon as possible, and search made
for the hOodlums, but they succeeded
in escaping in the darkness,

Burlington train. The special train
of Superintendent Magee, of the
Wabash s. Western, returning from

like fate. The train was being backed,
was running at about fifteen miles an
hour and at Huntley's crossing, near

ceived a severe shaking up. The train
was stopped, run back and an investi-
cation showed that a heavy beam,

west. The timber had struck the
break beams between the forward
trucks and caboose and the axle
of the trucks and would have de-
rallied and wrecked the train but for

away. a searching investigation will
be made.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.-The Mar
quette, Houghton & Ontonagon Rail-
way company has formally given no
tice to the general land Office of its
withdrawal of all claim to "a land grant
opposite the unconstructed parts of its
road. This is understood to be final
abandonment of its claim to over two
hundred thousand acres of land to
which the railroad company has here
tofore stOutly maintained rightful title,
and has succeeded up to the
present time in defeating adverse
action, although bill to forfeit
the grant was passed by the senate yes

who have resisted the right of the rail-
road company to the land, will now be
able to perfect their titles free from
controversy with the railroad compa-

railroad company, it is understood, for
the reason that the road has recently
been sold to the Canadian Pacific,
