NVhy There Was No Convic-
ton.

Lafayette, La. Oct. lG. Social
to the Picayune. The trial of Pc
ter Olivier, for interfering at the
May municipal election, Which
was fixed for yesterday but post
poned until to-day, was taken up
this morning. Much interest was
manifested in the trial throughout
but contrary 10 general eXpecta-
ton the state exhibited very little
vigor i'll the prosecution, and sig
nally failed in establishing the
most salient points of the case.
On the other hand the defense
was conducted with all the ability
characteristic of Judge Debaillon,
who was well supported by Felix
VOORHEES, Esq, of st. Martinville.
The facts of the case did not
bear out the charge, and defense
cited the acts of incorporation of
1886 to show that the election held
last May was not legal, because it
did not conform to the provisions
of the said act to wit: That the
election shall be held by the She
riff and clerk Of court and not by
three commissioners appointed by
the city council, and that only all
free white male citizens II years
Of age shall be entitled to
vote. The last provision which of
course excludes the negro entirely
has provoked much comment 10y
the citizens; although it sounds
mote like huge joke, it neverthe-
less exists as part of Lafayette 5
charter which has never been Il
mended to conform to the provi-
sions of the twelfth amendment.
Municipal elections here have al
ways been conducted as i'll general
elections and all permitted to vote
irrespective of color or previous
condition. The resurrection OF
this relic of ante bellum days is a
veritable mares nest to people
generally, and the city fathers i'll
particular. As might be Judged
the jury honorably discharged Mr.
Olivier, returning a verdict of not
guilty.

IT WON'T WORK.
The Musicians Union in Conflict With CAL
ifornia's Military Code.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.-The Musicians
union, backed by the federated trades,
prevented any union bands from taking
part in the procession here Thursday.
This is because the citizen Fourth of July
committee reduced the prices from s. to So
for each man. The trades unions declared
this should not be tolerated, and hence
the order issued to the musicians. Among
the union bands were those attached to
the First, Second and Third regiments of
the national guards. They were regularly
enlisted men in the militia companies,
and whe n they failed to appear in the pa
rade there was big row. The colonies Of
the regiments examined the code and
found that the appearance Of all members
of the regiments was obligatory on the
Fourth and also on admission day in Sep
TENDER So the musicians will be arrested
for mutiny and court martialed. In his
letter TO the brigade commander General
orion says: If some non-military au-
thOrity has more power over part of the
the military force stationed in Frisco than
the commander-in-chief, now Is better
time to learn it than TO wait till an emer-
gency arises when they or their similar
societies array themselves against the law
and the officers appointed 10 administer

AFTER A MONTHS DELAY.

LAWRENCE, Kan, July about a
month ago a stranger hired horse and
buggy at John Eldridge's livery stable and
left word that he would return after few
hours lie failed to keep his promise, and
no trace of the man or the property could
be found until a couple of days ago the
police were notified that the man had been
captured in Marysville, Kan. An officer
was immediately sent after him and he
was brought TO this city this morn
ing. he gave his name as
Charles Haberly, but would say
nothing of the crime with which he is
charged. His preliminary examination
was set for July Is, before Justice Charl-
ton. Mr.. Eldridge learned that his horse
and buggy was at Beatrice, Neb., aad at
once went after them.
A young man in the employ OF John
Eldridge was kicked in the face last even
ing by a mule The animal was sharp
shod and the wound is very painful and
may prove fatal. His name is unknown,
as he had only been in the city short
time.

at a table Of one Of our

days ago between two
ladies who had been
down town shopping
for dry goods. One
lady had purchased

at the Arcade" the
other had purchased
elsewhere. The ar
cade" lady said to her
friend that she had
purchased the cheap
est and most SatiSfac-
tory bill of goods she
had ever bought and
at prices far below
what she had expect
ed. The Elsewhere"
lady said she had Oft
en- gone to these new
stores and to these
special sales but she
had never been able
to find goods for less
than at her old trad
ing place, but the ar
cade" lady said she
had been around and
had gotten prices at
the old trading place
and she had beaten SO
badly at the Arcade"
that She was through
going to the old trad
ing place, and to show
you that the Arcade"

A WAR AVERTED.
The Atoms Ohicago-Denver Gut Met by
All the Roads.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, July 6-Chairman
Findley of the Missouri railway as
ISOLATION here, today announced he would
impose the stipulated fine upon the Union
Pacific railway for taking arbitrary action
with the Alton in reducing the passenger
rate to S26 from Chicago to Denver All
the lines were represented at the meeting
and the representatives all apprehended a
very serious trouble on account of the re-
duction which, as it transpired at the
meeting today, was not only extended to
Chicago but to St. Louis. 1t is appre-
hended that the reduced rate will undoubt-
edly be applied to all points in both direc-
tions unless some agreement shall be made
at the meeting Of trans-Missouri associa-
tion here next Monday. Said representa-
tive of one of the lines at the meeting to-
day, Evidently the Alton did not take
into consideration the alarming extent to
which the reduced rate will be applied.
We will all meet it and the cut will affect
rates in every direction"
At a later meeting of the association it
was agreed that the s26 rate between Dem
yer and Chicago, made by the Alton and
Union Pacific. should be established as the
fixed rate, and that none of the roads
should attempt to cut under it.

WEATHER CRNp ALL cTIN

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The week ending
Saturday, July 6, has been slightly warmer
than usual throughout the northern
states, while the temperature has differed
but slightly from the normal over the cot
ton and tobacco regions of the southern
states.
The rainfall for the season continues in
excess from New York southwark to Flor
ida and from Texas northward to the Mis-
souri, valley. There is large de-
ficiency of the rainfall for the
season in southern Ohio, northwestern
Minnesota and northwestern Dakota,
where the rainfall far the current season
Is less than 60 per cent of the usual rain
fall. The weather has been especially
favorable for growing crops throughout
the corn and wheat belt; the crops are
reported as growing rapidly and especially
corn and winter wheat. Harvest is well I'M
der way with.a good yield reported. Crops
are suffering from drought in Dakota
Generally throughout the states north of
the Ohio river the rainfall was excessive
and the wet soil prevented ploughing.
Harvesting was completed in Kentucky
with a fair yield of wheat; corn was report
ed as excellent. Alabama is the only gulf
state reporting favorable weather and all
crops in good condition.

AN AWFUL CONFLICT.
Strikers Fire Upon the Duluth Police
With Deadly Results

DULUTH, Mimi, July 6.-This afternoon
at o'clock the police were on Fifteenth
avenue and Michigan street guarding the
men who We're at work in the sewer
trenches. The strikers started from
Twentieth avenue, while another body
came down from Third street by Fifth
avenue and made a rush with clubs and
rocks The police stood their ground and
then the carnage begun.
The strikers did the first firing. AS the
strikers made a rush a siogle shot was
fired, then crack, crack, crack, went the
rifles of the police, followed
by fulsilade from the strikers
revolvers. After the first fire.
came an awful hush as though the COM
batants were appalled, at the awful result
of their work. On the walk in front of
Piedmont, as it joins Garfield avenue, lay
a man shot through the heart and several
more bleeding from CHASTITY wounds.
Then the conflict broke loose again and
the strikers, stationing themselves around
the buildings in different parts of the
block between Garfield and Eigth-
teenth avenue, poured in a steady
fire on the police, who were
stationed near the sewer ditch. From 4
O'Clock until after the horrible work
went on and the battle did not
withhold its fury long enough for the
wounded to leave the field.
1t was after when the last shot was
fired, and terrible indeed had been the re-
suit. Over fifteen are known to have been
wounded and two innocent victims who
were only there out of curiosity paid fer it
with their lives.
Following is a list of the dead and
wounded:
TWO MEN KILLED.
AN UNKNOWN, striker, shot through
the heart.
Tom FITzsMMoNs, shot through the
back; can't live.
THE LIST OF WOUNDED.
Officer Kilgore, shot through the shoul-
der.
George Costin, street car driver, shot
through the head.
Officer Nee. shot through the hip.
Officer Donovan, shot through the face.
Officer Kondac, shot through the hip.
A bystander, fingers shot off.
Ed. Cummings, cut by bayonet through
the groin.
Captain Dewitt, Of Company X, Second
regiment NJ. n. g., early this morning re-
ceived orders from Governor Merriam in
St. Paul that he would allow him to go to
the scene whenever needed. BY 6 o'clock
they were at the trench where the tragedy
had already taken place.
At o'clock company X arrived and with
bayonets drove the crowds from Michigan
street.
The mayor then made speech from the
Michigan street sidewalk at the corner of
Garfield street, ordering the crowd to dis
perse. The police and military then drove
the crowds from all streets. At o'clock
the strikers had dispersed.
At least thirty-five men are badly
wounded, some it is feared fatally.
The police have arrested Charles Carlson,
Hendler, James, Frank and Irving Hud-
son. the four leaders in the assault They
are now incarcerated in the county Jail.
The militia are at the barracks, ready to
turn out at any moment.
