A Bloodthlrsty Mob Takes Possession Of
Mexican Town-A Fight In Which
Several Lives Are Lost.
DEMING, n. NJ, Jan. 11.-Couriers
from Ascension, in the state of
chihuahua, 100 miles south, report
terrible uprising there Thursday.
For some time bad feeling has
existed between the adherents
of the church party and the sup.
porters of the Diaz government. At
fairs reached a crisis Thursday when
the election of the president of the
town was held. Rafael Anchela, who
had twice held the Office, was reelected
by q few votes Anchela was distaste-
full to the opposition on account of his
efforts to inaugurate reform and
threats were openly made against his
life.
About o'clock in the afternoon
mob of over 100 men suddenly sur
rounded the city building and opened
fire. Anchela and his secretary, N.
Devalas were instantly killed. The
mob took possession of the town after a
hard fight with the friends of Anchela.
During the battle three revolutionists
were killed and many on both sides
fatally wounded. France Sanzo, one
of the leaders of the mob, was among
the killed.
The impression prevails that this is a
movement in support of Cara, The
strength of the insurgents is reported
at eighty armed men. Troops are or
dered to the point of outbreak In the
meanwhile the town is in the posses
sion of the mob and further bloodshed
is expected.

tents are well organized and will
flock to the standard of Cara. lie
states that in parts of Chihuahua the
poorer classes have already revolted
and are marching in bands of from 300
to 400 across the country, committing
depredations. The objective point of
these forces is said to be Monterey.
The governor OF chihuahua has ap-
pealed to President Diaz for more
troops to put down the rebellion.

RlOTOUS SCENES.

Over 1000 Street Car Employees Quit
Work in Indianapolis-They Prevent the
Running of Cars.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 1.-THE
Indianapolis street car system, owned
by Chicago capitalists, is tied up by
strike which every employee has joined.
The strike was declared Sunday morn
ing at o'clock. Between 900 and l, 1000
are out.
The trouble is over an order issued
by President Frenzel that employees
should no longer ride on the. badges
worn by them. The men have been
riding on these badges for years and
claim that to be required to pay fare is
an injustice they will not tolerate.
The strike took an ugly phase from
the start Organized labor, which is
very strong in this city, sympathizes
with the strikers, and early in the
forenoon the various stable houses of
the company were surrounded by the
noon the company undertook to run
out some cars with road officers and
office employees.
The result was mob scenes such as
have not been witnessed in this city
since the great railway strike of 1876.
The mob, composed of strikers and or
ganized labor friends, gathered at the
corner of Illinois and Washington
streets, and as fast as car would come
down from the uptown stables it was
taken possession of, the electric cur
rent cut off and the car pushed by
hand into the Maryland street stable
near the Union railway station.
Four cars were run out during the
afternoon and each was captured by
the mob.
Superintendent of Police Colbert
called on all the available policemen,
but they were unable to do anything.
At one time during the afternoon
fully 5000 men were on Illi-
nois street to see that no cars
were run. There was no blood
shed. but some very rough handling
was done. Rocks were hurled through
the glass windows of the cars at the
road officers. After the four cars had
been captured and dismantled the
company decided not to attempt to
run any more.

katchewan. Their crop Of 1891 has sur
passed the figures given even by the
boomsters. Manitoba is sought out by
the eastern Canadians as the Israelites
sought for the promised land, but with
more expedition and a better spirit, and
they are spreading into and taking pos
session of the equally fertile prairies
and park lands of the territories be-
yond, which, with great enterprise,
they have gridironed with railways.
The New York Sun, in an article on the
Canadian provinces west Of the Red
river, said that people from those
parts smiled at the stunted grain in the
more eastern districts of the continent.
Said the Sun: "N1en who have seen
many seasons of Minnesota wheat-rais-
ing said in Manitoba last week that
they had never looked upon such wheat
fields before" and the St. Paul Journal
speaks of that country as "The future
