RIOTING IN BELGRADE.
Party Troubles Cause an Uprising. in Which
Three Persons Were Killed.

Three Persons Were Killed.
BELGRADE, May T.-Serious rioting took
place here yesterday, resulting in the killing of
at least three persons. The trouble was due to
the intense antagonism that prevails toward
the Progressive party. Last night mob of
anti-Progressists made an organized attack
upon the house of ex-Premier Garashanine and
smashed in the windows and doors with stones.
The crowd then visited several clubhouses and
printing offices Of the Progressists and demol-
ished everything upon which they could lay
their hands. The gendarmes were powerless
and the regular troops had to be called out.
The crowd still refused to disperse and the
soldiers charged, killing three of the rioters
and wounding a number of others. The ex-
citemenJ here to-day is intense, and it is feared
the rioting will be renewed.
During the Tioting portion of the mob
made a search for hidden Progressists. Five
men who had concealed themselves when the
trouble began were dragged from their hiding
places and horribly beaten with sticks. Two
of them were so savagely treated that they are
not expected to live. The house of NJ. F.
Garashanine would have been sacked by the
mob had 1t not been for the opportune arrival
of the troops. After smashing in the windows
the rioters made rush for the doors and were
breaking them down when the soldiers ap-
peared upon the scene and drove the mob
before them. In the struggle three soldiers
were wounded.

CAPTURING MONSTER SHARKS.
Two Specimens of Unusual Size Secured
After Struggle.

Two Specimens of Unusual Size Secured
After Struggle.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.i
BOSTON, May 27.-Some heavy shark
stories were told by two captains who ar
rived in port to-day, which may have the
effect of keeping some people out of the
water the coming season. The sharks are
of unusual size and seem to be near land.
Captain Thurston, of the fishing schooner
Sisters, reports that on Saturday week ago
he was fishing about 20 miles off Yarmouth,
N. S., when huge shark was hooked by the
nose with a cookbook. They got the mon
ster 10 the surface alongside the vessel and
tried to get stout new rope over his head,
but he bit the rope right through again and
again, as though it were cut with sharp ak.
Then they drove harpoon into the back of
his neck and held him while they got into
boat and attacked him with axes, killing
him after desperate struggle.
The shark proved to be too large to take
on board, so they cut out his liver, which
filled 21S barrels, and took aboard the head
and tail, letting the body go. This is oneof
the largest of the species ever seen in those,
waters, being % feet long and weighing over
two tons. His head was as large as hogs
head, and weighed between 600 and 700
hounds. A good-sized boy could crawl in
side its open mouth.
The schooner Minnie G, Captain John
Saunders, captured large shark 10 miles
off Yarmouth lighthouse a few days later.
The shark took the bait and was hauled to
the surface of the water on a 15-thread hand
line, when he was harpooned. After half
an hours hard struggle he was finally Sc
cured. He measured % feet in length and
weighed two tons.

BISHOP FEARED HIS FATE.
His Physician Tells of Long Trance the
Mind Render Once Had.

His Physician Tells of n Long Trance the
Mind Render Once Had.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHi
NEW YORK, May 27.-The inquest into
the death of Bishop, the mind reader, was
continued by Coroner Levy in the City
Hall, to-day. DR.. Thomas S. Robertson
testified that he attended Bishop contin-
uously from February, 1887 to September,
1887, treating him for epilepsy, rheumatic
fever, and various other ailments. Bishop
was the most nervous man he ever saw, and
his disease was hysteroid form of epilepsy.
Bishop had had two fits in DR.. Robertson's
Office. The first time was after an operation,
when he went into a semi-convulsion and
remained unconscious for four hours. He
foamed at the mouth, grew slightly rigid,
and then relaxed. His respiration was i'm
perceptible and the pulse failed at the wrist,
but could be found further up the arm. He
was apparently dead, but the application of
ordinary tests disclosed the presence of life.
His skin was pale and clammy, but his in
ternal temperament remained normal.
DR.. Robertson said that Bishop had ex-
pressed to him his fear of being sometime
mistaken for dead while in a fit, but had
never said anything about fearing dissec-
tion alive, or had never told him of any
precaution he had taken to prevent such a
fate.
W. Hawks, the undertaken who had
charge of the body, said: "In my opinion,
from every indication he was dead then.
Nothing occurred up to the time of the
autopsy to change my opinion" He had
been an undertaken % years, and testified
as an expert on eorpses. Daniel j. Hawks,
another undertaker's assistant, corroborated
the story.
The inquest was adjourned until IL
o'clock tomorrow morning. The Coroner
announced that he expected to finish the
inquest tomorrow.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1spArcH.I

He Was.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHi
BALTIMORE, May 27.-Further inquiry
into the life of Rev. II. Greenfield Schorr,
who committed suicide yesterday, brings to
light the fact that he was romantically
crazy. He was great admirer of the fair
sex, and was twice engaged to be married,
once to young lady in Pittsburg and at
another time to a girl in East Baltimore
Both of these he broke off himself, and
then sought others on whom to place his
affections. His last flame was young
woman above him in station, and though he
brought all his fascinating powers into
play, he was unsuccessful in obtaining his
inamorata's consent.
1t is stated that he contracted other en-
tangling alliances, which he feared would
soon become known and lead to his dis
grace. Those who knew him best say he
was great ladies' man, and being fine
conversationalist and very entertaining,
made himself exceedingly popular. The
fact that he was of humble parentag- made
him discontented with his lot Not even
his rector knew that his father was poor
cobbler, living in this city. His family
antecedents he kept to himself, nor did they
become known until after his death.
The suicides last request, that he be
buried from the church, will not be COM
piled with. The body was given in care of
the poor father whom he never publicly
acknowledged, and he will be buried from
his parents humble home. All day the
little house was filed by the morbidly
curious, especially those living in the i'm
mediate neighborhood. Bishop Paret will
officiate at the funeral. The ministers gen.
orally believe Schorr to have been insane.

Woman in New Jersey,

woman was passing down Main street, and as

at her back. Glancing over her shoulder she

her screams, caught her in his arms and extin-
guished the fire.

as the very effort to steal may help to cause
either the wild throw or the passed ball, as also
the muff at second.
There are ordinary steals and clean steals,
and the latter comprise the minority. But no
base can be Justly credited as stolen, where the
runner at first is induced to start for second
after seeing the error made by the pitcher or
clean steals, would be discouragng to base steal
ing A runner will not take the risks under such
circumstances that he will when he is given
credit for his effort to steal irrespective of the
fielding errors the effort may have led to. In
order TO encourage base-running, l think, a
latitude should be allowed, which may justly be
reduced hereafter. II. CHADWICK.

STOLEN BASES.
ChadwIek's Opinion as to What IL a Clean
Steal.

Steal.
notice that President Young decides that a
base-runner should be credited with a stolen
base under the following circumstances: For
instance. Quinn was at first base and Camel at
bat with two strikes and three balls called. As
the next ball is pitched Quinn makes dive for
second without knowing whether the umpire
would call ball or strike. 1t turned out that
the umpire called four balls. but Quinn gets
credit for a stolen base. This is a correct de-
cision. In estimating stolen bases, there can
not well be any arbitrary rule to govern every
case, ae circumstances so frequently alter
cases. The effort 20 steal must go into the cal
culstion largely. For instance, the moment
the runner az nrst sees the pitchers arm move
70 pitch, and he starts fer second, be has at
tempted TO steal without regard to the action
Of the catcher or the batsmen: and if he reaches
the base safely, he is entitled TO the credit of
the steal, irrespective Of wide throw, a muffed
bal, passed ball, called ball or q wild pitch;

for Foot Race.
Ed Nikirk and E. c. McClelland, accom-
panied by their friends, met at this office last
evening and signed articles to run a race of one
and half miles on June Is, at Exposition Park.
The race will be for $3.50 aside, and each party
has put up forfeit of $50. The second deposit
of 500 each is to be made good on the evening
of June s, and the final deposit will be put up
on the day before the race THE DISPATCH
is final stakeholder, and has the power to select
a referee if the contendlng parties fail to agree
upon one.
The race undoubtedly promises to be one of
great interest. There has been long and
weary controversy between the two runners re-
garding their respective merits as pedestrians.
Both will go into active training at once, and if
the track is good on the day of the race it Is
likely that fast time will be made.
