A piece of the cannon measuring about

Well ''Hesled.''
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May Is Yesterday
Captain Mack Burroughs, of Tallahassee,
assaulted and severely punished Zeph Har-
rison, publisher of The Florida Republican,
a weekly newspaper of this city. Ex-Gov-
ernor Harrison Reed, who was in Harri-
sons office at the time, also received Sc
we're but accidental blow on the head from
Burroughs. Last Saturdays issue of the
Republican contained long article charg-
ing Captain Burroughs and VIII Denham
with having made an attack upon The
house of Mrs. Craft, at Tallahassee, smash
ing the windows and doors with clubs,
brick bats and bullets.
Burroughs Went to See About 1t.
The article then recited that Capt. Bur-
roughs, after the assault, proceeded to the
capitol and reported the affair to Governor
Fleming, who commended the act and
promised to reward him for it by politi-
cal appointment. Mrs. Crafts is the
boarding mistress Of United States Mar
shall Weeks, of this district, and her house
was attacked as stated. Burroughs and
Denham are highly respected citizens of
Tallahassee, and the charge of The Repub-
lean was universally denounced as false.
Burroughs came to this city yesterday,
and, taking two friends with him to the
editors office, demanded of Harrison that
he divulge the name of the writer of the
scurrilous article
Wouldn't Give His Authority.
Harrison refused, and Burroughs at
tackled him with his fists and small
cane, cutting him badly about the head,
shoulders and arms. He will probably be
confined to his bed for three weeks or
more The blow ON Ex-Governor Reeds
head was purely accidental, as he got be-
tween the contestants in trying to leave
the room. Burroughs was arrested and
gave bail in the city court for assault,
Warrants have also been issued by the
county court for assault with intent to
kill, but they have not been served as yet.

APPRECIATIVE WORDS.
nal Set Forth by the Chicago Press
More Pride and Interest Necessary
on the Part Of the Illinois Congress-

Todays Chicago Tribune and Inter
Ocean editorially express their apprecia-
ton of Rock Island arsenal. The Trib-
uHe's article is copied:
Illinois is large state; Massachusetts
small one. Illinois has twenty con-
gressmen: Massachusetts, twelve. 1t may
be owing to this difference in numbers
that the delegation from the last state
votes and works like unit when any
matter involving one of the many inter
ests of Massachusetts is concerned. while
the Illinois delegation rarely seems to act
in concert, even when by doing so it
could secure some substantial advantage
for a commonwealth whose interests it is
sent 20 Washington to represent. The
United States has two great arsenals and
srmories- at Springfield Mass and at
Rock Island, in this state While the
government works at the first Of these
places receive the constant care of the
representatives of Massachusetts. those at
the secoud receive practically no atten>
ton from the Illinois members. aud as
matter of course are neglected. Con-
gres -men from other states do not bother
on as local TO Illinois, and the war de-
partment does the most for that armory
which seems to have the most friends
II vas the intention when the works
were first established on the banks of the
Mississippi that they should be the most
important in the country. There is no
reason why they should not be. The
government has excellent and practically
unlimited water power. 1000 acres of
land. and many good shops at Rock Is
land; and it is a better distributing point
than Springfield. but the promises of the
past have not been kept. With the ex-
ception of a few saddles. canteens and
similar articles. nothing is made at Rock
Island. Many of the shops are empty.
Small arms can be made there as cheaply
as at Springfield, and heavy ordnance as
cheaply as at Wstervliet, but no steps
are being taken looking toward their
manufacture. As it will take two or
three years TO put in the necessary pant.
it will be seen that were sudden war to
break out il would be impossible to util-
ize the splendid Rock Island site for the
purposes for which it was originally Sc
cured.
That this western armory and arsenal
has been neglected so long is the fault OF
the Illinois congressman, not of this con-
gress specially, but of many of its prede-
cessors as well. At the outset a keen
interest was taken in the works and
western men worked for them. But of
late they seem to have forgotten that
there is an arsenal at Rock Island. aud
the result is that the Massachusetts, peo-
pie are having everything their own way.
Why cannot the Illinoissns bestir them
selvesf Why cannot they for once pull
together, republicans and democrstsf 1t
is matter in which there are no politics.
1t is for the good of the state of which
they are all representatives.. II they will
once assert themselves they can get for
Rock Island what it ought TO have, for
the moment they show they are in ear
nest they will get help from Iowa, Wis.,
consin and other neighboring states.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 2s.-Earthquake
shocks were felt here early Tuesday
Fifteen occupants of frame building at
the Vandalia transfer yards experienced
an unusual shock, accompanied by a shak-
ing of the building and a sound like the
rushing of volume of water beneath the
building. The first shock was swiftly fol-
lowed by second, and so on until nine dis
tinct shocks had been felt by the then
thoroughly frightened inmates. A pecu-
liar feature of the disturbance was its be-
ing heard by yardmen some distance away
from the building, and they also thought
they could discern sound akin to the
rushing of water. 1t issupposed a large sub
terranean body of water lying underneath
that portion of the city had been greatly
agitated by some unknown cause.
