NEARLY A REPETITION.

Another Fatality Narrowly Avoided on
Smithfield Street.-The Ranks of the Ale
gheny Central Republican Club Broken
Through-The Motorman Arrested.
A small sized riot occurred at the corner
of Smithtield and Water streets yesterday
morning when motorman on the Birm:ng-
ham line attempted to run his car through
the ranks of Allegheny Central Republican
Club. A repetition Of the Wylie avenue
accident of Saturday evening last was mar
rowly averted.
Five men were knocked down, but not
injured seriously. They were thrown
toward the sidewalk and dashed on the
cobblestones with considerable force The
club was on its way to tine Baltimore and
Ohio station to take the train for Wheeling,
when car No. 10 came dashing along and
broke through the marching columns. In
moment the car was surrounded by men and
every window in the car was broken to
pieces A dozen stalwart fellows rushed
into the car and grabbed the motorman, and
gave him probably the soundest thrashing
he or any other motorman ever received.
The men who were injured did not go to
Wheeling, but proceeded at once to swear
out warrant Tor the motorman's arrest.
He was placed in custody In the afternoon.

could wish to see, the little fellow related
tie story without falter He was neatly
dressed in his school clothes and wore his
marching cap. He did not seem to realize
his position, and talked of the affair with
OFT reserve or emotion.
Fatal Use of n Christmas Gift.
In the main his statement corroborated
that of George Stivanson and the other
bows who were present except as to the size
OF the knife At first he declared it was q
small knife with only one broken blade,
but later admitted it was large iack-knife
which his mother had given him for q
Christmas present.
The wound indicates, specifically, that
q large knife was used. Though the exact
course of the knife will not be known until
a post mortem examination is made, it
is believed it passed through q portion of
the lung and into the heart at the aorta.
Swanson was also handsome boy, and, as
he lay on a couch in his fathers parlor last
night, he looked like a pretty woman
sleeping. The grief of the mother was
painful TO witness, and as the great gaping
wound Was exposed to the view OF the
ueighbors who by the hundred thronged in
to gaze upon the dead boy, her suffering
was indescribsble.
Halt q block away another mother was
suffering even as acutelv. Coupled with
her distress of mind over the fact that her
baby boy had become a murderer, Mrs.
Rodgers was suffering intensely from q seri-
Gus physical aiilnent which has threatened
her life for mcnths. She was seized with q
iainting spell when the painful news was
broken to her. and late last night her con-
dition was critical.
Coroner Mcdowell is investigating the
case, and will hold an inquest tomorrow.

Lewis Emery, Jr., of Bradford, and his
wife registered at the Duquesne yesterday.
Mr. Emery is member of the State
Worlds Fair Commission and Joined the
Pennsylvania party for Chicago last even
ing. Since his great fight against Della
mater two years ago Mr.. Emery has not
taken an active part In politics. He says
he is too busy with his affairs.
81 know that President Harrison will be
reelected" he began. 81 base my hopes
on the good sense of the American people.
I don't think our citizens are quite ready
to turn this country over to the Democrats
as long as they have such q vicious plat
form. 1t would be ruinous to introduce
wildcat banking again"
1t was reported that Mr.. Emery intended
to establish q center here for his extensive
hardware business, but he said it was not
true. He has been delegated to get up an
oil exhibit for the Fair, but his progress has
been SO slow on account of scarcity of funds
that he is disgusted. "What can be ex-
pected from the States,'' he said,
'tafte. the niggardly conduct of Con-
gress with the appropriations? That man
Holman is too narrow and is not we'll
enough acquainted with the interests of the
country to dictate our financial policy. As
for the Pennsylvania oil exhibit, I have
about come to the conclusion that it won't
amount to much. The Standard at first
took lively interest, but the managers are
very apathetic now, and are doing nothing.
know the reason, but 1 don't care to
speak of it now. They may come into line
later, but it is question. Ny idea was to
have big tank erected and inside to show
all the products of petroleum and how wells
are drilled. This was done at the Paris Ex-
position, and the city paid the bill, but in
this country with such close Congress We
can't do anything. Oh, certainly, we will
have some kind Of an oil exhibit 1t will
probably consist of display of all the oil
products, but it won't be what it should
be-" .
Mr. Emery added that they are making
good progress on the new pipe line to the
seaboard. It will soon be finished.
