A REGULAR DONNYBROOK.
A Democratic Primary Results In Blood
shed, Riot and Murder.


ALBANY On. ", April 5th.-Cohoes has
been in the hands of mob all day, and
tonight the condition of affairs is un-
changed. with drunken brawlers and ex-
cited adherents of the two factions still
excitedly discussing the situation. The
Democratic primaries, to nominate Super
visors and Alderman and q city ticket,
were held to day. One side was the
Cleveland following, with Postmaster Lar
kin in immediate command. On the other
side was the Hill following, with Major
Garside in command.
The rioting was confined to three wards.
In the other two the Larkin regulars had
things their own way. The Larkin men
had the Inspectors and the Garside men
had the police. The latter were present at
the polls in force. Civilians were sworn in
as specials. and were left in control OF the
station-houses. In one of the wards, after
the regulars had admitted the watcher of
the other side to the polling place, one OF
the police endeavored TO force his way in.
He was warned to desist, but battered in
the door with a sledge-hsmmer. He was
struck on the head with a piece of lead
pipe. A hole was cut through his cheek
and he fell back covered with blood. Then
the siot begun. and pistols, knives and
clubs were used.
The ballot-box was smashed, and both
sides claimed the victory.
No one was injured except the policeman.
While this was transpiring. a policeman in
another ward tried to force his way into the
polling place and was badly beaten. In
another, policeman battered a man on
the head, inflicting fatal injuries. Small
fights were of constant occurrence. Dozens
of men are reported as seriously if not ia
tally injured. The factional feeling runs
so high that if is impossible to secure reli-
able news. Two Democratic city tickets
and two Democratic candidates in each
ward will be the result of the days doings

LORD LONsDALE HEARD FROM.
Over a Year in the Arctic Shows Travel
ing With Dog Sleds.

PHILADELPHIA, April 5th.-The Inquirer
tomorrow will say Lord Lonsdale, re-
Gently reported dead il the Arctic regions,
is on his way home to England again. A
letter received at Bethlehem from Mr..
Wolf, the Moravian missionary sta
toned at Nushagak, near Fort Alexander.
on Bristol bay in Alaska, in latitude 59o
north, 1889 west longitude says: Ions
dale arrived at Nushagak Mission Decem-
Der 10Th, last year, after long and tedious
journey of 1900 miles overland from
Banksland. in latitude 75o north. This
was the farthest point north that he
reached. He remained at the mission until
January 14th. The country he had trav-
ersed from Banksland was rough and
open, the snow was terribly drifted and
most of the journey was made on foot, the
dogs barely managing to drag the camp
outfit and provisions. On the first of De-
cember the thermometer registered los de.
grees below the freezing point. Terrible
billiards. swept across the country continu-
ally, and the most strenuous exertions were
necessary to keep the party from being
scattered and frozen to death. Lord Ions
dale estimates that he travelled by dog sled
and on foot about 10000 miles from
Winnipeg in little more than one year.
In the Hudson bay region, where
the snow and ice were smooth,
the dogs frequently carried them over 200
miles day. He left the mission at Nu-
shagak January 14th, and with dog train
started across the peninsula to Katmai, on
the north Pacific. From there he crossed
to Kodiak, on kodiac island, where there
is whaling station. The Earl sent word
he would sail for England at once, but no
news has been received of his arrival at any
American port, and it is possible he has
turned whaler, to get some new expert
ences.

Suspicion pointed 10 Kings son-in law
ShultZ, a first cousin to the man arrested
here, who had run away with Kings
daughter, and had forged an order for the
marriage license, and it was the fear of
being prosecuted for forgery that caused
him to murder King and his family.
Shultz, Kings son-in-law, had made
threats, and has since confessed to friend
that he and his cousin did the killing; that
he killed King and his wife, and that his
cousin killed the six children and then set
fire to the house.
Young Schultz. who was arrested here,
came to Dallas county in January with
John Parkam, and has since been living
with him. He says he can prove he was
forty-fve miles away at the time of the
killing. The Sheriff says that be has posi-
tive proof that Schultz was seen near

MAGGIE MITOHELL,
She Is Divorced from Her Faithless Hus-
band, 81. G. Paddock.

New YORK, April 5th.-A Tribune special
from Trenton, n. j.. says a divorce has
been granted Maggie Mitchell, the actress,
from her husband. Henry T. Paddock, by
Chancellor McGill, the decree having lust
been filed. The evidence in the case was
taken in New Jersey and New York, and
the complainant's main charge was adul-
terry on the part of her husband in 1882
and 1886 with one Miss Minnie E. Moore,
who was then living in Syracuse.
Maggie Mitchell. about a year and half
ago, found letter addressed to her hus-
band. She thought it was business let
ter, and was shocked at its contents. 1t
was written by Minnie Moore, whom she
had met in Syracuse. The letter acknowl-
edged that she had been intimate with
Paddock, and furnished Miss Mitchell with
what the latter considered convincing proof
of her husbands infidelity. Then Miss
Mitchell instituted proceedings for di-
vorce.
Paddock failed to answer to her bill of
complaint denying adultery, and failed to
take the witness stand in the case. Minnie
Moore said under oath he had been init
mate with her. Both she and her mother
testified that they did not know Paddock
was married man until 1884.
1t was put in evidence by Maggie Mitch
ell that there was no collusion between her
and Paddock to secure divorce. She saws
she married Paddock in 1869, and lived
with him until the discovery of Minnie
Moore's letter. She was true and faith
full wife, and had supported him out of
her means. She had frequently heard
charges affecting his character but did not
put any faith in them, until Minnie Moore
told her story.

UNITED STATES CoNsULs.
A Hundred Applicants for Every Posi-
tion-Poor Salaries.

WASHINGTON, April 5th.-Applicants for
appointment in the Consular service will
not be encouraged by the fact that the en-.
tire number of Consuls to whom salaries
are paid is only 2lS. OF these twenty-tw
are CoDsuls- General whose salaries vary
from $1,000 to $4,000 per annum. There
are six classes of Consuls. exclusive of
Consuls-General, the highest class receiv-
ing So 800 per annum and the lowest
81 500. There are but seven in the highest
class, of which six are in China and one
(Callao) in Peru. The s. 900 per annum
class numbers eighteen, the s., 500 class
fifty-one. The remainder are in the two
classes that pay respectively $500 and
81 900 per annum. The supply is about
equal to one Consul for every one hun
dred applicant, allowing that 25 per cent.
of these now in cffice will be retained Ap-
plicants not supported by potential in
fuence will appreciate how slim are their
chances for success. In addition to the sal
ried Consuls, there are number of Vice
CoDsuls, Commercial Agents and Consular
Agents, to whom no salaries are paid, but
who are allowed to appropriate all fees
collected up to 81 500 per annum. All
Consular officers are required to keep an
account of fees received, which fees are
prescribed by law, and make report to the
Treasury. There is great deal of exagger-
alton about the amount of Consular fees
The Consul to London is paid &c.
600 salary and the fees must be paid into
the treasury. For performing work not
required by law he can charge fees, which
he can retain. The aggregate of these will
not exceed the amount of his salary. This
is the practice at all Consulates.

quarter OF a Million.
New YORK, April 5th.-The Treasury
Agents have discovered that extensive
smuggling operations have been carried on
through the firm of Afford & Sons, of Paris
and New ork, dealers i'll antique furni-
ture, paintings, tapestries and tine hang
ings.
Valuable oil paintings and the like have
been brought in concealed in the seats of
old furniture, under the backs of old mir
rors, etc, and escaping duty. Many of
these valuable articles were subsequently
sold at full value TO innocent purchasers,
including members of the Vanderbilt and
Aster families.
1t is believed that the frauds will aggre-
gate quarter of million. This fact, and
the hitherto high standing of Afford d
Sons, have made the matter highly sensa-
tional, and is the general topic of converse
ton to-day.
The evidence is regarded as conclusive by
the Treasury Agents. 1t is not expected
that anything further will be done in the
matter until Secretary Window is heard
from. The facts in the case were embodied
IN report. sent to Washington last night
No arrests have yet been made
AT the ware-rooms of Afford & Son. this
morning, w. H. Secor, counsel for Afford
and Roulez, their agent, said:
This whole affair is an outrage on a
most respectable firm, and the result will
show Allord innocent of any attempt to
detraud the Government. This is the work
of discharged employe, who has cum
ningly taken advantage of the fact that all
the members of the firm are absent in Paris
preparing for the coming exhibition. They
were aware that it was coming" continued
Secor, and two weeks ago cabled Roulez
to consult with me in regard to it. They
were put on their guard by letter received
from Blossier, the discharged agent, and
instigator of the present proceedings, and
this letter will form an important part of
the defense. Ny clients are prepared to
furnish bonds to any amount to secure the
Government for the alleged duties out of
which it is said to have been defrauded.' -

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Ex-Secretary Endicott Says 1t VIII Have
to be Adopted


WASHINGTON April 5th.- Ex-Secretary
Endicott, in company with his successor,
Secretary Proctor, called on the President
this afternoon. He afterwards talked quite
freely with reporter. He said be felt re-
heved at being once more private citizen,
and added: THE President does not seem
to be looking very WELL He evidently
needs rest. The American people put too
much strain on their Presidents The work
ought to be delegated. The time is near at
hand when it will have to be done. Our
great need is more extended civil service.
This is the only Government where there is
a scramble for Office. It is undignified. un-
patriotic. and until the tenure is made Sc
cure, and places are filled with good men.
the President will be overburdened.
Look at England. There is free gov
ernment, and there men who desire to en-
ter the employ of the Government are
tested thoroughly, and If found competent
are offered every inducement to stay in the
service. Within the lifetime of the genera
ton now being born there will be in this
country an army of officials three hundred
thousand strong. Then civil service will
be necessary. and the President will have
to be relieved of his drudgery of appoint
ments by heads of departments and bu-
reaus, because no one man can be able TO
do the work. The reform will not CON-
mence too soon if it were put into operation
at once"

SAN Francisco, April 5th.-The exami-

accused of threatening the life of Carrie

and with her young baby seek protection
in her mothers home at 637 McAllister
street.
Mrs. E. thinner, the mother of the com
plainant. said that on the 21st of February
Mackie called at her home and abused her
daughter so that she took him by the
back of the neck and the seat of the
breeches" and threw him out on the street.
81 just showed him that he couldn't run
my house" excitedly exclaimed the wit
ness. Whenever my daughter goes out
on the street alone, he annoys her and
threatens to kill her, she hurriedly added;
4but you bet he won't come near her when
Tn around"
Some of the charges she made against
him were too indecent for publication.
She has also heard him say that he would
blow out his wifes brains and then kill
himself if she got divorce from him.
The hearing will be resumed tomorrow
morning, when the defense will introduce
rebuttal testimony.

FUNDS SHORT.
Eject of the Part Taken by Buckley's
Lambs on Municipal Politics.

SAN Francisco, April 5th.-Owing to the
neglect and dishonesty of School Census
Marshal Hildebrandt, the Buckley lamb
who was appointed by the last Board of
Education to discover the number of school
children in San Francisco, the State ap-
portionment for this fiscal year has been
reduced Sl3l, sos As the Board of Super
visors estimated the outside revenues of
the Department on the basis of Hide
brandt's figures, which were obtained by
the lambs mainly by drawing on their
imaginations the falling off of the State
apportionment from $690000 TO $55S, ,494
has caused decided deficiency in the ap-
preparation. Secretary Beanston of the
Board of Education estimates that on July
1st the Department will be $l50,00O behind.
This condition of affairs will render the
payment of May and June salaries impossi-
bic. In case the solid nine do not make
away with the surplus funds in the Treas
ury, after expending the regular appropria-
tons, they will be enabled to turn over
about 100000 into the school fund at the
end of the fiscal year. Owing to the fact,
however, that several of the appropriations
notably, those for printing and stationery
and buildings and repairs-are already ex-
hausted. it is doubtful if the solid nine will
have anything left. 1t therefore looks as
though the teachers were again about to
lose their midsummer salaries.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
The President is Devotedly Attached to
His Grandson.

WASHINGTON, April h.-Representatiye
Morrow introduced to the President to day
Captain Birmingham of San Francisco
who has been recommended for the ap-
pointment of Supervising Inspector of
steam vessels. Captain Birmingham sim
ply wished to pay his respects, before leav-
ing for home.
Surgeon Preston H. Bailhacke of the
Marine Hospital Service, also sent in his
card, having scribbled on il: "Eu route to
California merely wish to pay my re
spects."
Whether or not the President Will take a
short vacation within the next few days is
undecided. He had thought of leaving
the city and fleeing from Office seekers for .
day or two, by taking trip down the
Potomac TO salt water.
This plan was upset because there was
neither a dispatch boat nor a revenue
cutter at the Navy Yard, and the President
would not listen to the proposition to have
a revenue cutter now at Baltimore brought
around here purposely. 1t was suggested
he could reach Baltimore by rail, and then
board the steamer. but he did not care to do
that, because Benjamin Harrison Mckee,
is sick, and the rail would not benefit him.
1t was also suggested to the President that
he might 60 and leave his grandson at the
