THE VENDETTA IN PARIS.

A Lively Shooting and stabbing ARRAY In
the Street.
A most bloodthirsty and determined
street. fight, in which knives, revolver and
hammer we're used freely, took place at a
late hour the other night in the Rue de
Maistre, says the Paris correspondent of the
London Telegraph. The combatants hacked
and shot at one another with Corsican or
Italian fury, and out of the four persons,
including a woman, who were engaged
in the fray two were wounded badly and one
is lying wounded seriously in hospital.
The row was begun some days ago by fiery
young fellow named Jonquel, who quarreled
in wine tavern and drew his knife, with
which he threatened another man who was
refreshing himself at the zinc-topped
counter, A cabinet maker called Aude.rand
interfered, disarmed Jonquel, and held him
until the police came up. After this sum-
mons was taken out against JonQuel, and he
and his brother at once resolved to organize
victim. At first they intended to break into
the rooms occupied by their man, but fear
ing detection, they determined to wait, for
him in the street and to attack him as he
WAS returning home.
Shortly after midnight Audebrand ap-
p0dI0O, 6uU tUo TWO UIOtuoI6s uEdWluK tQ61r
knives, fell upon him with fury. The cabi-
netmaker, having received some severe
stabs in the face, head and neck succeeded
is throwing off his assailants and rushed to
his rooms, which we're near at hand on a
ground floor. He procured his revolver and
returned, although weak and bleeding, to
the charge. accompanied by his wife,
who carried heavy hammer.
Reaching the street once more.
Audebrand fred pointblank at Jules Jon
quel, who was hit by bullet in the face
and fell. Nine. Audebrand then went up
to him and smashed part of his skull in
with the hammer, while her husband, point
ing his revolver at Leon Jonquel, fired and
put bullet into his right arm, thus placing
him hors de combat. All this terrible dam
age was done before the police and the
nelehbors attracted by the shots and the
shouts, came hurrying to the spot. Leon
Jonquel was able to walk to the hospital,
but his brother was carried thither in an
almost dying condition. while Audebrand
was found to have received six stabs in the
head and body.

Big Corporations Form an Alliance
Against Striking Employees.
P1TTsBuRa, Sept. ga number of the
richest corporations in the country have
formed an alliance against strikes. Among
the members are the Westinghouse system,
the Yale Lock company, Colt Arms CON-
pany and four or five other big factories,
and presumably the Pullman interests. In
the compact it is agreed that in case a
strike occurs to enforce unreasonable de-
mands. whether the.strike be against one OF
all of the associated factories, all work is to
cease. The strikers are to be allowed to re-
main idle until they see fit to return to
work, and no factory is to employ any
worker who may have left any factory on
strike. Neither is an associated factory to
seek workers during a strike from any of
the federated works. The institutions
named employ between $1,000 and 10000
workers, and directly support some 100000
to 800, 600 people, exclusive of other inter-
ests depending upon the earnings Of these
people. 1t is claimed by these manufac-
turers the action of their workers forced
the alliance.

Fighting President Fish.

New YoRK, Sept. 5.-An evening paper
publishes petition which it states is being
circulated among the stockholders of the
Illinois Central, urging them to rise in re-
bellion against the present management.
The petition states that the company is
practically on the verge of ruin through
mismanagement.
The petition is especially directed against
President Fish and Vice President Harrl-
son, who are not practical railroad men ana
who have been unable to secure the friend
ship of the people along its line. who look
on it as an alien corporation.
A contract is made between the prosper
ous state of the company in 1888 and in
1888, after five years of the Fish Hartman
management. It is shown that with the in
crease in the debt and stock of $A. 99S 600
there has been decrease of $22l.551 in the
net earnings from the operations of the
road, when the results of 1883 are compared
with those of the fiscal yea. ending June
owing to the prolific yield of grain in 1888
and 1859. Dividends have fallen from 8
per cent in 1883 to per cent in 1889, and
the market value of the holdings in the
same period has fallen from 145 to 1l6.
The petition further states: 1t is believed
tnst 1as pussSsa snSs hs The dSs report at a
pany has been increased by several
millions of dollars, and that the debt and
stock are approximately $38, ,OOO,O GOO, in ex-
cess of 1885, and there are strong reasons
for believing that at this time the company
also has floating debt Of from S1,O0O.OOO
to $2,OOO,OOO. 1t must be apparent that af-
ter paying the annual charges the margin
for six per cent dividends is now very mar
row, and further issue of $15,0OO,O 600 of
stock, as recently proposed by the present
management, or any considerable increase
in the debt and interest account, will force
a reduction of dividends and serious de-
cline in the market value of shares.'
Neither Mr.. Hartman nor Mr.. Fish were
in the CITY to-day.

Sanders Prepares Another Bill
Touching the Rights Of the
Northern Pacific.
Power Favors Free Binding Twine
But His Associate Takes
the Other Side.
Pacific Coast Senators Bitterly Oppose
Putting Lumber ON the Free List
Land For Settlement.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 6.-tSpeoial. g. ]-Col.
Sanders has prepared another bill which 10
intended to strsighten out the question of
what lands the Northern Pacific Railroad
company is entitled to in the mineral coun-
try. Under the terms of it's grant it will
contain essentially the same provisions as
are embraced in the bill reported to the
house by the committee on mines and min
ing, This called for denomination Of
all the lands supposed to be mineral. Coal
and iron lands are not to be included in the
definition of the word mineral"
Power has been under the weather for two
or three days. He was able to be in his
seat in the senate to-day for the first time
since Monday. His first vote to-day was on
the binding twine amendment. He voted
to put it on the free list, thus dividing the
sentiment from his state, as Sanders yes
terday voted against the Davis proposition.
Among those who defended the duty ON
lumber in the rather lively debate to-day
were Senator Allen, of Washington, and
Dolph and Mitchell, of Oregon. Senator
Allen said the lumber industry was one Of
the greatest in his state, and quoted statis-
tics to show the growth of the business.
From 1850 to 1860. the production was
GO, GOO feet; from 1860 to 1870 125. 600 600;
from 1870 to 1880, 250, ,OoO, 600, and from 1880
to 1890, 4OO.0OO,OOO and perhaps 500, ,OOO, GOO
feet. The shipment of shingles alone was
200 cars last year. Senator Dolph claimed
that the tariff was not for one state or sew
eral states; there we're many industries that
Oregon was not directly interested in, yet
they were for protection. In lumber the
state had great interest, and he expected
that it would be protected by the paternal
system of government, on the basis of what
helps ono helps all. He had no patience
with the men Of his side of the chamber,
the sappers and miners, who were trying to
undermine the protection system. Senator
Mitchell referred to the cheap Chinese
labor of British Columbia, which came into
compstition with the people of the Pacific
coast, and the costly transportation that
would endanger the lumber interests of
both Oregon and Washington without pro-
lection. Only three republicans voted for
the flss list amendment Washburn, Plumb
and Paddock. The democrats were also
against free lumber. sT&.

The Man who Shot at Sheriff Cameron
Discharged ut Butte.
BUrTE, Sept. 5.-[Special. + Charles War
field, who was arrested August % by
Marshal Furay for holding up the Butte
and Helena stage near Boulder in Novem-
Der, 1884, Was given hearing before Com
missioner DinRervon tonight. He had
been up for examination before, but owing
to the absence Of w. d. Cemeron. the prin-
cipal witness. the hearing was postponed.
Cameron testified tonight tnat he reoog-
nized Warfeld as one of the parties en-
gagged in holding up the stage and one Of
those who did the shooting which re-
suited in witness receiving a
wound which came near being
fatal. Cameron was at that time sheriff
of Jefferson county, and it was his arrival
on the scene which drew the robbers of
and precipitated the fight, which ended in
his being wounded. He was unable to
swear that Wartield had interfered with the
United States mails, and, as that was the
charge against him in this instance, he was
discharged. 1t is understood that the off,
cials of Jefferson county want him for at
tempted murder. and his liberty will proba-
bly, be but short. Cameron's evidence on
this point is very direct, and will, doubt
less, secure Warffeld's conviction.

Mrssou1A, Sept. 5.-lSpecial. EARLY this
morning, John M. Shopp while going home,
discovered an incipient blaze alongside the
Missoula Mercantile Co.'s oil house in the
alley back of their store. He promptly
gave the alarm by firing three shots from
his revolver and then turned his attention
to the work of extinguishing the fire which,
with assistance, was soon accomplished. 1t
was discovered after the fire was put out
that it was the work of an incendiary, as a
quantity of combustible stuff had been
gathered, saturated with coal oil and then
covered with straw and other material that
would shoulder for time and then burst

hopes for his recovery.
