Chicago's New Mayor Stops Publ,
Pa 49, Gambling, ~

CHICAGO, May 3.-The chief of police
to day issued notice to various precinct
commanders throughout the city calling
their attention to former orders against
gambling and announcing public gaming
would not be allowed in the city. To-
night not a gambling house is running. A
number have been fitted up since the re-
cent municipal election and several of the
more venturesome have been doing a
rushing business. In M interview this
evening Mayor Cregier hunted at whole
sale prosecution for vagrancy. Some of
the local papers for some days past have
asserted that gambling houses would be-
fore long be permitted to gradually resume
operations on the same footing as they
were before the vigorous crusade %iuaugu-
rated by Mayor Roche two years ago.

money, a portion of the salary of the
crew Of the vessel, has been found. He

further attempt on his life. The wife of
the paymaster arrived here recently from
San Francisco. 1t is said about Smiths
residence that he has had some misunder-
standing with his wife and that her un-
expected arrival here was the cause of

Accident on the Pennsylvania Road.
PHILADELPHIA, May "a coach con-
tanning several persons was struck by a
train on the Pennsylvania road this morn
ing. f. K. Womrath and James Dun
gan were killed and three Others injured.
The coach contained eleven men many of
whom were local politicians on the way
home from a iolli6cation. Womrath was
formerly a member of the city council.
bali a dozen were more or less injured.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
The accident occurred shortly after l
o clock this morning. The coach con-
tanned a party of eleven men, members
OF the Masonic fraternity. Howard Gibbs
one of the injured did not belong to the
party but had been overtaken on the road
and allowed to ride with the driver. The
briet delay caused by taking on this pas
senger undoubtedly had much to do with
the calamity which followed. The night
was hazy, rendering objects indistinct and
1t is supposed the freight train approached
the crossing unperceived by those in the
coach. The engineer when he saw what
had happened stopped the train as o
as possible. Stretched upon the cowcatcher
bruised, bleeding and insensible was
johnson, the colored driver; a square be
low the crossing the horses were found,
dead and gashed to pieces, lying close
together. The force of the blow must
lave been terrible, for the shoes were
torn from the feet of one of the horses,
and the other had a leg cut off close to
the trunk. Further up the track was the
wagon, dashed to Underwood; it was
lying in a heap, and a few feet away from
It were the bodies of Wombrath and
Dungani close to them lay their fellow
passengers, Smith and Welgus, who were
quite senselcss; but the others, with the
exception OF Dr.: Hule and Myers, were
groanIng pitlfully. The two injured,
Samuel Smith, wholesale liquor merchant,
Frank Wilgus, druggist, are expected
to die. The others injured, five in all,
are reported to be getting along comforta-
bly.

Anniversary of the Chicago Riot.

Ao
CHICAGO, May 3.-To-morrow will be
the third anniversary of the Haymarket
riot and the anarchists of the city propose
to give the day observance in a way print
ed in an address or circular which has
been issued from some secret establish
ment. Chief of Police Hubbard found a
copy of it in his mail to day and another
was found on the pedestal of the Hay
market police monument, which is to be
dedicated on the 30th inst. The circular
Is OF intlImmatory character, in which it
lauis the virtues OF The condemned and
executed anarchists and denounces all of
the officers of the law who had anything
to do with securing their conviction. 1t,
however, does not counsel resort TO force
or the doing of any overt acts. The sup
position has been that the anarchists
would make some demonstration on the
day of the unwilling of the monument.
Chief Hubbard was interviewed concern
ing the circular this afternoon. He says
he scarcely thinks it possible that the an
archlsts will attempt an armed uutbnrst on
he day the statue is unveiled. He SAYS
every precautiOn will be taken to secure
the safety OF life and property on that
day. tHf-f-- -
