THE ROCHESTER STRIKE.
More Trouble in cumming Cars-Fruitless
Attempt at Adjustment.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y. April S.-There was
more trouble to-day than on any day
during the strike of the car-drivers. Hood
lums interfered on lines on which there
had before been no trouble. There is also
a deficiency in police protection, so that
the car company did not run as many cars
as it claims to nave drivers for. This after
noon five aldermen called on the officers of
the car company and requested that they
hold a conference on the subject of the
strike with a committee of the men. The
company agreed to a conference with the
actual strikers, but stipulatedtha the men
discharged without cause being assigned
should not participate. This the men re-
fused to accede to, and will hold no confer
ence unless the discharged men are allowed
to take part. This is the status of affairs
Tonight, and hopes of a settlement seem as
far off as ever. The strikers are still de-
termined and confident.

person, to the minute, at times, passed by,
and shook hands. AT 2 o'clock the president
went up stairs to lunch, and fifteen minutes
later reappeared in the East room, and still
the people came. There we're representative
from every state in the Union, and from every
society or other organization that attended
the Inauguration ceremonies.
After shaking hands with perhaps 5000
people fatigue compelled him to stop; but TO

TIE Springfield Register has no special
fault to find with the inaugural address
OF President Harrison. 1t is, says the
paper quoted, commonplace, it is true,
psrmeated by spirit, taking it in its
entirety. that seems patriotic:
He declares in favor of civil service
reform, freedom in elections" and an
equal enforcement Of the laws in all sec
tious OF the country-declarstio to
which all good citizens will yield assent.
He makes no reference to second
term" evidently preferring to wait to
see how be is going to enjoy
official life. He seems to be fully
in accord with republican senti-
ment relative to the treasury surplus,
taxation and pensions. He would get
rid OF the surplus by expanding it, main.
tain an excessive tariff tax rate and In
crease the pension list From the aver
age republican standpoint. President
Clevelsnd's vigorous and admirable state
papers were all Stupid" "turpid." or
''involved"--mere meaningless plati>
tudes." We are not disposed to treat
Harrison's inaugural in that way. II
was neither stupid nor brilliant. But the
country will care little for his uttersuces
By his acts he will in the end be Judged,
and the future must disclose what
these are to be. Unless Blaine shall
prove his evil genius, we see no reason
why his administration may not be as
respectable as that Of Hayes or Arthur
The Register is disposed to credit him
with good intentions. to yield him a
hearty support in everything calculated
to advance the interests and the glory of
the republic. and to never lose sight of
the fact that he is an American president.
Good citizenship requires this much.
President Cleveland was treated with
little respect by his political opponents
an evidence, simply, that the republican
party is lacking In patriotism. Demo.
Gratis are more tolerant, more patriotic.
and better citizens generally than their
political opponents.

ATRoclous CRIME IN KENTUCKY.
A Father Assists in the Poisoning OF Hi
Nine Children-Two Dead.

A Father Assists in the Poisoning of His
Nine Children-Two Dead.
MOUNT STERLING, Ky, March IA terri
BILE crime has just come to light in the re-
mote part Of this county on Spruce creek, In
which father joined with his mistress and
her brothers and poisoned his nine children,
from to 10 years of age. Two Of them
hisd Friday. Jim Holden and his sister,
a bad character, went to the house of Frank
Conkwright, the woman arriving early and
Jim about II o'clock. The woman. Susan
Holden, was living in adultery with Conk-
wright, and because the children protested
they had been severely chastissd
and often driven from home When
Jim Holden arrived at the house
be went to bed with Conkwright's
e-year- old daughter, who was taken sick about
o'clock Friday morning and died with CON-
vulsions that afternoon. The S-year-old child
drank water at II o'clock Thursday night and
died at o'clock Friday morning, and when
DR.: school arrived Friday he found all the
children except the eldest very sick with I'M
mistakable evidences Of having been poisoned.
The father, who has been a widower for three
years, Susan Holden, and her brother Jim are
now in Jail here, and Bill Holden has made
his escape. In the section where the crime
was committed excitement runs high, and
could hands be laid on these fendish brutes
the state would be relieved of further costs.
