THE CHICAGO ELECTION.
The Five Cornered Fight and How 1t
Came Out.

CHICAGO, April 7.-Election day
opened with fight in the First ward.
A ticket peddler for Harrison was set
upon and his tickets torn up. A gem
eral fight followed. The voting in this
ward seemed to be straight Republican
and straight Democratic Late last
night two hundred warrants were
sworn out for the arrest OF
persons illegally registered and put into
the hands of deputy sherifTs to serve.
One Of the alleged fraudulent voters
was found in a carriage In front Of u
gambling house where the gang" con-
gregateS, but managed to escape before
the warrant could be served. A num-
Der Of others were taken in.
1920 p. M.-The City Hall reports 40
precintS, which give Creiger 4O,7ls.
Harrison 35, Coz, II. Washburne l,543,
+. WaShburne 90,046.
Throughout the night the corridors
Of the City Hall were thronged to SufTo-
cation, while in all theatres returns
were read from the stage.
The day was marked by a number Of
bloody affrayS, eliminating in several
tragedies Even bootbacks fought,
while policemen, eX-cOunty commission
erS and aldermen were mixed up in sew
eral aifrays.
At 1890 Hampstead WaShburne, the
supposed Republican Mayor-elect was
enjoying himself with his friends at the
Marquette Club. confident OF his cleo
tion, while at the City Hall the Demo
Gratis were claiming that their Mayor,
the present incumbent, was only l6s
votes behind Washburne with fifteen
precincts to hear from.

MCKINLEY ELATED
Over the Recent Elections In Ohio.
Looking to 1892.

WASHINGTON, April g. Ex-Repre-
sentative Mckinley is very much elated
over the result of the local elections in
Ohio yesterday. In an interview this
evening, he said:
IL think RepublicanSm is reviyng,
not only in Ohio, but ia all parts Of the
country. The people are beginning TO
Gnd OH The false prophets who talked
about the tariff last year. They see
that the increased prices and all that
was a part Of the scheme Of misrepre-
sentation. You remember the recent
local elections in New York State were
very encouraging to the Republicans.
You can never argue with absolute ac-
curacy, but think the Republicans are
in pretty good shape all over the coun-
try
or the outlook for 1892, Major Me
Kinley said;
II think the Republicans are bound
to elect the President in 90, whomever
they nominate. notice that Hill is
trying TO change the issue to put a dif-
ferent Interpretation on the November
elections from that popular with the
Democrats do not know that there is
any significance in that"
Discussing politics further, he said
that he did not see how the Democrats
could avoid making silver leading
issue in the next Presidential contest,
II they passed free coinage bill in the
House and it was defeated either in the
Senate or by the Presidents veto. He
did not think, however, that the nomina-
tion Of Mr.. Cleveland would necessarily
be interfered with on that.

THE COUNTERFEIT
OF the Two Dollar silver Certificate Gov
ernment Paper.

WAsHINGToN, April The counter
felt two dollar silver certificate, hereto
fore described in these dispatches, is
causing considerable trouble at the
Treasury Department. Not more than
twenty OF these counterfeits have come
in the hands Of the Treasury officials.
The extent Of their circulation, however,
is not known as they bear so close a re-
semblance to the genuine note that
they cannot be readily detected eX-
cept by experts. The issue Of the
regular series Of the two dollar silver
certificate has been suspended, and ar
rangemeuts are being made Tor the
issue of a substitute. The original
bears the portrait Of Gen. Hancock, and
the substitute will have that OF Secre-
tary Window. While the old series has
not been called in, none Of the notes Of
that series coming into the Treasury
will be reisSued.
The department IS also considering
the adyiSabiity OF diScontinuing the
use Of the distinctive paper on which
government uOtcs and securities are
now printed. a commission has been
appointed to investigate the manufac-
ture and use of the paper and to report
whether the government require any
additional safeguards in that respect.
1t is stated at the department that the
paper now in use has never yet been
successfully Initiated and that no fears
are entertained in that respect. 1t is
felt. however, that no harm can come
from efforts intended to remove all pos
sible doubts on the subject.

IL which Que Man Was Shot to Death

MIDDLESBoRoUGH KY. April 7.-One
OF the most desperate conflicts between
man and man that have ever taken
place in this vicinity, and which has
added another dark stain to the pages
Of thhe criminal history Of Southeast
ern Kentucky, occurred Yesterday at a
saloon two miles west Of this city, on
Benefits Fork OF Yellow Creek. The
participants i'm the tragedy were Adam
Lejere, a saloon-keeper and Linsey
Leach, a miner.
Lejere end Leach met in the saloon,
and fell out over woman, who, 1t is
said. was living with Leach as his wife.
Hot words, Supernduced by bad whisky,
followed They then left the house,
and when upon the outside turned face
to face. and withouta a word both drew
their yunS-Lejere with thirty-eight
Smith N WeSson and a forty-tive Colt,
and Leach with thirty-eight Smith "
WeSSon. Both were game. They eyed
each other for an instant and then the
deadly work began. a fuSilade OF shots
/ followed.
When the smoke cleared away Leach
was seen to stagger a short distance and
fall dead, with bullet through his alb
domen. Lejere was untouched, and i'm
mediately after the shooting fed. He
was met going up the mountain side by
gentleman, to whom he exhibited his
coat. He was riddled with bullets.
Lejere then disappeared in the noun
tain Businesses.

SITUATION AT NORWOOD.
A Partial Resumption of work-Sherin
Clawson Fears Trouble.

Mt. PLEASANT. PA. April More
wood presented a lively appearance to-
day. Fifty new men went 10 work this
morning. making the total number al
the ovens about 100. There was not
the timidity among the workers that
there has been heretofore. The soldiers
are still on guard. but no attempt was
made TO mOleSt the men who want to
work. even when they are out
oi the reach Of the soldiers. The ar
rests OF Yesterday were followed by sew
eral more to-day and il is expected that
by this evening at least 35 Of the rioters
will be behind the bars. Sheriff Claw
sou evidently fears trouble, where there
/ are no soldiers rs he has stationed dep
uties at the different works Some
thing important is believed to be on
| foot to-day. but the nature OF it is not
/ known.
Master Workman Kerfoot, who speaks
/ the different languages, is hard at work
this morning. BE went down 10 Spring
Garden and called on every miner per-
sonally. The Huns are keeping eX-
ceedmg quiet, as they fear they will all
bee arrested. \ good deal of III feeling
has been engeudered against super
/ iuteudent Ramsey over the report
shat Frick was going to import
men. Threats were made against Mr..
Ramsey. and this morning number Of
strikers gathered about his residence.
/ Their actions aroused suspicion, and
/ the militia was called out and the men
driven away. Several shots were fired
| but no one was hurt. Adiutant General
/ McClellaud and Gen Wiley had a con-
Sultation this morning as TO how
long the troops should remain here.
General Wiley seems TO be un-
der the impression that the ILL
/ feeling was about died out. and it is
thought the militia will be withdrawn
i'm few days. The report that the
strikers were threatening TO use dyna-
mite ON the soldiers doe not seem to
| have any foundation in fact.
Dispatches from the various sections
of the region indicate partial aeSump-
tion at the different works. The oper-
atorS are encouraged, and claim they
will soon have their plants in full op-

COKE SITUATION.
TaE OPERATORS CLAIM TaAF THEY ARE
MAKING HgADWAY
Against the Strikers, While on the Other Band the
Labr Leaders Declare That the Field is Prso-
hcally Ills-A Convention Of WOrkmen
Called for Frday-Othsr Strike News

PITTsBURG, April REPORTS from
different sections Of the coke country
show a slight gain for thu operators on
this the second day Of resumption, after
| the paralysis that followed the More
wood fatality.
/ The citizens OF the region are prepar-
| ing 20 hold some meetings and demand
some sort of settlement, as the business
of the region is ruined. Tables have
been prepared showing the miners have
I lost in wages during the eight weeks
strike 81. POO, 600, while the operators
lose by diversion OF business TO other
regions and continued idleneSS and neg
lect is incalculable.
IL is a fact also that before the strike
some 5000 cars OF coke per week were
shipped from the COnnellSyille district,
while during the trouble they have
averaged between 200 and 300 cars per
week. Still the operators seem deter
mined % resume at their terms while
the miners say they will not go back un-
less starved, and then they will break
their agreement ut the first OppOrtun-
ity.
Operators say the strike was virtu
ally broken al a number OF plants to-
day. There was unusual activity ~
MorewOod Junction, Sterling aud Ade-
laide No 3, while al the Jackson plant,
near Dawson, fifty men are working,
ard some little work is being done at
the Nellie aud ClariSSa plants, while
officials say their different companies
are receiving applications for work
daily.
I'm contradiction TO this, the labor
leaders say the entire region is practi-
cally idle AMI that their position is
stronger than ever. There is general
impression, however, that u settlement
Of some sort will soon be made. Lead
ers say they are willing TO effect fair
compromise, though operators are still
lighting shy Of a conference.
This evening Master Workman Peter
Wise and Secretary Parker issued call
for special convention OF the entire
coke region, including organized and
uon-uuiou miners TO be held in Byrue's
Hall here Friday, April 10th. The OBJ
iecJ OF the convention as explained in
the call is for the purpose Of consider
ing the present situation and 10 devise
way and means 10 bring the strike TO a
successful termination. The morgan
lied will have a voice and vote in the
meeting. The convention is exceeding
significant at this stage OF the strike.
Parker says that there will be fully
seventy delegates present who will come
prepared 20 voice the sentiments OF the
strikers IN the region.

SANTA FE, y. NJ, April "details
OF an Easter Sunday tragedy at White
Oaks, n. NJ, reached here to-day, the
affair being double suicide in which
two handsome young women, formerly
of Liberty, Mo, were the actors. Some
two years ago Miss Portia Hill came
from Liberty to serve as goyerness in
the family of a Mrs. Goodwin Ellis. AT
the end OF year she married Howard
DOYLE. brother of Mrs. Els and prom
inent young ranchman. On their bri-
dal tour they met an Old friend
of the bride, Miss Jessie Rgley,
who replaced Mrs. Doyle as governeSs
in the ELS home. Ii was their custom
to spend Saturday night and Sunday
together. On last Easter Sunday Mrs
Doyle came on visit to Miss Rigley,
and the two were seen in long aud
earnest conversation at various times
during the day, avoiding others OF the
family. In the afternoon they went for
a walk aud both their dead bodies were
discovered an hour later over the
heart OF each was a bullet hole. They
were claSped in each others arms and
between them was a revolver, which
usually had place on the mantel in
Miss RigleY's room. They left several
notes, one giving no reason for their
only, death is sweet, aud We prefer IL
to life." They requested that they be
buried in the same grave. The request
was complied with.

that the operators would never accept,

TIE FIRE ESCAPE POLITICIAN
Is Said to Have Married the Daughter OF
the Woman lie huined.

LONDON, April THE relations Of
Mr.. Paruell to Mrs. O'Shea have been
rendered more mysterious than ever by
recent reports. No declaration has yet
been made by Mr., Parnell himself, nor
by any person authorized to speak for
either of the persons concernee that
they are to be married when divorce is
made absolute. That period is near at
hand, and the friends Of both are anxious
that the ambiguous situation should be
cleared up. The state Of affairs has led
to the springing up OF crop OF rumors
damaging the reputation OF both.
These various stories, with more
or less foundation, eliminated
in the report yesterday that the mar
riage with Mrs 0Shea would not take
place, as Mr.. Parnell had already been
married to another lady. AstoniShment
was increased to-day by the rumor that
tho lady in question is a daughter OF
Mrs. O'Shea, and that the marriage
took place in secret because, among
other reasons, the young lady was
ward In chancery. The latter story
rapidly spread in the lobbieS OF the
House OF Commons to-day and is eager
ly and variously discussed, but II finds
few believers.
