Quiet Scrap.

BELv1DERE, N. j. March 27-The
much looked for prize fight between Pat.
Slattery of Denver, COL, and Billy Baker
of Buffalo, n. Y, came off yesterday
morning at eight o'clock at a point near
Stewartsville, Warren county. The fight
had been arranged for the night before
in q barn near the village but the pres
ence OF a big crowd of toughs prevented
its taking place and the principals and
fifteen invited guests repaired to a strip
Of woods some miles distant and en-
gaglng the dance floor of an old farmer,
carried out the programme. Only
two rounds were fought, the referees
giving the fight to Baker on a foul.
A number of sporting men were present
from the neighboring towns.

A Flood of Bills.

ST. PAUL, March 26.-To.morrow
being the last day for the introduction
of bills in the legislature, there was a
rush to-day, especially in the house,
where 80 new bills were introduced.
The larger number of these were of
minor Importance, but a few are of con-
siderable interest. Lynn presented two
bills relating to foreign insurance
companies. The first provides that no
regular life insurance company shall be
permitted to do business in this state
until it has made or agreed to make
investme It's in Minnesota lands or secur-
tiles to the amount of not less than two
per cent of the insurance in force in the
state. Knudson introduced a bill to
prohibit pool and billiard tables in
saloons, requiring the permanent closing
of all side and back doors to saloons,
orbidding music in saloons or in any
room adjoining, and ordering an unob.
structed view of every saloon interior.
The bill to prohibit pool rooms was in
troduced by Turrell. C. French wanted
to do away with the ninety day biennial
Legislative sessions, and have them an
for thirty.five days. Gildea pro-
posed to determine all the legislative
election contests in the courts.

Temperance Crusade.

T1rF1N, Ohio, March GA Demon
s%tration in connection with the temper
ance crusade at Bloomington occurred
last night when a mob of supposed tenn
perance advocates attacked the saloon of
Nm. Diller and demolished it. Windows
and doors we're smashed, his stock of
liquors and cigars destroyed, pool and
billiard tables broken up and general
chaos established. Both men and women
were engaged in the fray, and their work,
from the standpoint of raiders, was done
with symmetrical completeness.

The Democrats Fixin' Thing.

MILWAUKEE. Wis.,, March 26.-The
re.apportionment of the congressional
districts of the state was completed to-
day by the democratic members of the
committee, and submitted to the full
committee tonight. The democrats
figure that six of. the ten districts will
be democratic. Two republican wards
and three republican towns in Mil
waukee county are annexed to the dem
ocratic lake shore counties by the new
deal, and this, it is believed, will make
the Milwaukee district surely democratic
for some years to come.

A Curious Abduction.

INDIANAPOLIS, March GA special
from Fort Wayne says: A startling case
of abduction at the point of a revolver
was reported to the police at a late hour
tonight. William Brennan, a machinist,
John Brennan, his 16 year old nephew,
and Fred Sucker, all of Pittsburgh, were
walking to Chicago, following the track
of the Fort Wayne road. At the western
limits of the city they were halted by five
tramps who held up the men for SO and
abducted the boy at the point of a re-
volver. The police are unable to clenr
up the mystery to-day, having utterly
failed to find any trace of young Bren-
nan or the tramps.

Riotous Coal Miners.

P1TTsBURG, Pa, March 30.-The most
eventfuI day in the coke strike, closing
with this evening, was favorable to the
men. The labor leaders say no precon-
certed attack was made, but, in view of
the fact that three of the principal works
in this region were raided and that the
operators had decided to resume all the
plants, talk of accidental raids does
not go very far. At 2 o'clock this morn
ing the strains of a band awoke all the
strikers on the road from Scottdale to
Bradford, and in q short while 1900 fol-
lowed their path, which was directed to
Jimtown, a plant of the H. G. Prick COM
pany. This place wal reached at S
o'clock this morning, when the works
were captured without a struggle except
the accidental disarming of Superintend-
ent Rosser, whose revolver was flourish
ing. A few of the workers we're
struck with stones, but this
body of strikers dispersed without
serious damage. Some time later a
terrific report in the direction of Leisen-
ing works gave the warning of trouble
there and thousands gathered to witness
the work of the first bomb exploded by
strikers. The shock was felt for several
miles but its only visible effect was the
tearing Of a great hole in the front of a
non-union house, and throwing consider
able dirt in the vicinity. It is feared
such work is not over with however, as
the effect upon unruly but thoroughly
organized Hungarian strikers was
omnibus. After this the workmen at
Lsisening No. 2 and 3 were chased out
of the yards and a few only returned
whom the excited crowd had departed.
A few men in the Leith VOL ks were also
driven out, though nobody is
reported badly injured. Trouble
is also talked of at the Trot;er plant, but
this is denied by the operators. The big
MooreWood plant of the Prick company
also contributed more than it's quota to
the exciting events of the day. This
plant has been in partial operation and
has been carefully guarded by deputies.
Some 5000 strikers gathered about the
place to-day, however, and swept the
armed deputies aside as If they had been
chaff. Not a blow was struck and not a
shot fired, as such a move would have
been fatal to both the guards and work.
ers in the face of 5000 determined
strikers. After the abandonment of the
works by the guards, an hour of mad
wrecking followed, tracks, doors, and, in
fact, everything movable was torn and
wrenched aside by the maddened crowd,
who only left after the plant had been
mutilated beyond immediate repair.

A Chicago Physician Claims to Have
Discovered the Germs of
the Lagrippe.

CHICAGO, March 27.-Dr. VIM. A. Cen
try of this city claims to be the possessor
of a microbe Of la grippe, the first ever
captured, or ever heard of. Ever since
the grip made it's appearance a year ago,
the doctor said to-day, he has been on a
still hunt for microbes, if any existed.
He found that, "a years ago, and again
sixteen years ago, la grippe was among
human beings, and seventeen years ago
it attacked horses, causing the still re-
membered %"epizootic." Owing to the re-
currence of the disease, DR.. Gentry was
inclined to believe that the earth at such
intervals passed through a stretch Of
space impregnated with what a%strono-
mers call "stardust." Four days ago it
occurred to him that he might trap some
of the dust, or microbes, or whatever it
was. Carefully polishing a blank slide,
he took it out doors and passed it
slide under his microscope, which
magniies 1920 times, he has counted
in the field of his instrument. The
creatures we're very lively and seemed to
flow or swim upward toward the glass.
Before the doctor could secure the mi
crobes they mad disappeared. The next
day with the Rev. DR.. Biggs of the
Rogers Park Methodist church, DIR.
Gentry tried again and found more.
Again they escaped but by using the
micro-glasses, he secured the next lot
and had them mounted for the micro
scope. His next step was to procure
some mucus from a patient afflicted
with la grippe. His neighbor W. J.
Jefferson furnished it and to the delight
of DR.. Gentry the same sort of microbes
were found there as caught in the air,
identical in every respect.

An Interesting Legal Case.

FARGO, N. d., March 28.-From Ger
tain facts which have come to light with
in a day or so, it seems possible that the
trial Of Joseph Remington for the muir
der of J. T. Fleet, at Arthur, may become
one of the most famous in the United
States. As the case at present stands, it
seems almost a %foregone conclusion that
it will be impossible to convince any
jury of his innocence on the ground of
insanity or any common plea, hence it is
almost a settled fact that the defense
will be on the same line as that in the
trial of Gabrielle Bompald at Paris, last
year, wherein it was claimed and
so clearly proven case of
hypnotism, that her accomplice was
sentenced to hang, while she received a
term of Imprisonment. The theory in
the Remington case, it is understood,
will be that while hypnotized by a Min
neapolis woman whose name has been so
frequently mentioned since the arrest,
he murdered agent Fleet. Competent
authorities who have visited Remington
in Jail with this theory in view are said
to be of the opinion that he is SO consti-
tuted as to be easily liable to mesmeric
influence. Should this line of defense
be adopted it will probably be quite IN
teresting to the lawyers, as it will be the
first one of the kind in the United
States.
