trouble WAS due, as lar rs can be gather
ed, to the Indictment OF Anarchist arita-
tors, Of whom there are always consid-
erable number in that most turbulent OF
Spanish cities. These men managed to
get printed several thousand placards
which they widely distributed, in which
the workmen were exhorted to arise and
revenge their wrongs by driving out the
hated capitalists who had so long ex.
plotted their suffering and misery.
The intlammatory appeals were sup
,plemented by personal propaganda on
ithe part OF the agitasors, with the result
that early in the day the workmen were
in highly excited state aud ripe for
mischief. Those who took part in the
May Day demonstrations refused to re.
sumo work, and by noon 10000 men,
many Of them inilamed by wine, had
gathered along the chief boulevards OF

LEXINGTON, KY, May THE news Of
Senator Beck's death was received here
ut half past s o'clock. 1t came with such
suddenness that many people discredit.
cd the announcement. Although he
was quite an invalid when here last No.
vember, nobody believed that it would
be his last visit TO his old home.
When the people finally realized Sem
ator Beck WAS surely dead much sorrow
was expressed. While not 80 popular
with the masses as many OF Kentucky's
great politicians, Beck was man who
made many staunch friends who deeply
mourn his loss. Mr.. Beck's wife WIS

two children bless their union. George

more than ono hundred miles from any

wife OF Majur Green Clay Goodloc, Pay.
master OF Marines. t
While Mr.. Beck's public duties were
OF most laborious character his home
life was singularly beautiful. He was
devoted 10 his wife and children, and
when tho former died few years ago
the Senator's grief was unusually severe.
Since then his daughter has been almost
constantly with him, and her devotion
to her father since his health broke
down, few months after her mothers
death, was subject Of comment.
The deceased was law partner OF
John @. Breckinridge, and SO devoted
was he to that distinguished Conleder-
ate leader that it is stated he wished to
accompany him 10 the South, when
BrecEinridge left this city to accept his
commission in the Confederate army.
Breckinridge persuaded him to stay
here and watch his interest in the West.
Beck did this, and SO well was his work
done that Breckinridge's sons, John c.
and Cabell owe their great wealth to
their fathers friend.

A ShOeleSs Crowd.

Seven ladies and eleven gentlemen
were landed from Pullman palace car
in Cincinnati few mornings since with
out shoes to their feet, and this is how it
happened On the Pennsylvania west
bound express out of Pittsburg in the
evening there was an unusually heavy
travel from New York, and at Pttsburg
1t was necessary to attach an extra
sleeper. The porter selected for the run
was an eastea route man, and he discov-
cred soon after the train left the depot
that an old friend of his was running on
one OF the regular cars ahead. The por-
ters met, exchanged salutations and
agreed, after getting all their people to
bed, that it would be good scheme to
polish the passengers shoes together in
the forward car and spend the balance of
the night in social chat with intervals
devoted to libation from pocket flask.
The porter of the extra gathered his
peoples shoes together in pillow case

young ladies of Cincinnati en- route home
from Europe, four pair of matronly gait.
ers and eleven heavier pairs OF various
styles and sizes, belonging to the men in
the car. lie took them forward to his
chum's car, each shoe carefully chalkcd
with the number of the berth, and the
two guardians OF the slumbcrng passcn-
gers had genial time together, so pleas
ant, in fact, that 1t was nearly daybreak
when it occurred TO the porter of the cx-
ira that it would be well to take up his
peoples shoes and get back to his own
car.
He went back, but his car had van
ishcd, To say that he turned white with
astonishmcnt would be- no eNaggcration.
The Cincinnati car had been switched at
Columbus, and the Cincinnati passcn-
gers shoes were spinning along at fifty
miles an hour toward indianapolis, on
the st. Louis section Of the Nandnia cx-
press. The porter felt the gravity of the
situation, so far rs he was concerned,
and ut the next stopping station he dis
appeared rapidly toward the eas, with
pillowcasc full of shoes over his shoulder.
The passengers did not discover ther loss
until the breakfast hour, and the comical
surprise can better be imagined than de-
scribcd. They reached their homes in
carriages with slightly soiIed hoisery.-
