THE INrELLIGENCER As A BULL
DOZER.

During the last campaign the esteemed
Iatelligenccr undertook TO question one
Of the REGISrEG'S interviews bearing
upon a remark Of one MAHLoN CHANCE,
who is widely known as a Republican
political manager and who has fashion
of soiourning in Wheeling every now
and then during campaign years. The
REGISTER promptly put up forfeit for
the hltelligeHccr to cover, that the inter
view was genuine. But, alas, our i'm
pertinent neighbor skunk out Of sight,
so to speak, and has kept as quiet as 4
clam on that particular matter ever
since. Again our neighbours zeal for a
weak cause has overcome its good sense,
and again it made the inpertinent
break of questioning the accuracy Of
the REGISTERS interviews:
There is only one way to bring the
mteltagenccr to a sense of propriety, to
a discreet observance Of decent journal
ism in such cases and that is to touch
its pocket. Therefore the REGISTER IS
again compelled to ask it TO cover the
lorfeits published on another page or
else stapd convicted Of willfuny lying
and gross attempts to deceive its
readers.

WARNING FROM NEW ENGLAND.

AT a meeting OF the New England
Tariff Reform League, held in Boston,
March 18th, the following resolution
was adopted unanimously;
Resolved. That the New England Tariff
Reform League protests, IN the name of
Tariff Reform. sgainst the passage Of the
Bland Bill for the free coinage of silver:
that, in the opinion Of this League. such a
measure would bring disaster 20 the bust
ness interests of the country; that It's PASS
age would obsure the issue Of Tariff Re
form, which should be the most prominent
question before the people in the elections
this year; and that we feel IL our duty TO
express 70 our friends In Congress our coz
viction that neither Tariff Reform nor any
other issue can save the party, that pro
nOunccs for free coinage, from disastrous
defeat
The above sentiment. ia addition 20
extending all over New England, covers
New Jersey aud New York. Hence the
passage Of the free coinage bill at this
time Is apt to jeOpardize three Demo-
cratic States, viz: Connections, New
York and New Jersey. Rather q bad
outlook to begin the campaign.

TIE electric light and the stone
bridge Improvements will represent an
outlay Of 100000. They are public
undertakings of considerable magni-
tude. There are none better anywhere
in the Union. Why then would it not
be the proper thing to inaugurate their
completion by a celebration Of some
kind. There ought to be enough local
pride to make it a success. The city
treasury need not be called upon TO
spend a dollar, for the sum necessary
could be raised by voluntary subScrip-
tions from public spirited citizens. The
strangers visiting the city by railroad
and steamer woald make the occasion
an advertisement to the town well
worth the trouble and expense.

TRIED TO KILL HIS FATHER.

A Drunken Son Fired at the Old Man Five
Tim and Missed Him-He Then
Locked Himself In the House and Defied
the Po ice.
Charles Allen created a sensation at his
home on Penn avenue, near Twenty-second
street. yesterday afternoon, by shooting
five shots at his aged father. Fortunately,
he failed to strike him. Allen, who is
about 35 years of age, came home intoxi-
Gated at noon, and walking into the dining
room, where his father was seated, he drew
revolver from his pocket and said: Il am
going to kill you, -" He fired a shot
at him that lodged in the wall back of his
head. His father. who is IS years of age,
got up, and walking up to him said: II
might as well die now as any other time,
and dare you to shoot"
Allen took him at his word and fired
another shot which grazed his cheek and
imbedded itself in the wall. At this his
father turned and started to run upstairs;
his son followed him and shot at him three
times, each time coming dangerously close,
but failing to hit him. The last time he
shot the bullet blew off the third finger of
his right hand, and that is probably what
made him desist. Officers Graham, Foster,
O'Neil aud Schaffer were attracted by the
shooting, and on coming up to the house,
Allen locked the door, and poking his head
out of the window, braudished the revolver
and dared them to come IN. The
officers could not get at him, and while
the house was kept under surveillance,
Aliens father went before Aldermrn Nc
Kenna and entered information against
him Tor disorderly conduct Armed with
the warrant Lieutenant Gallant and Officers
Kenny and Miller proceeded to the house.
Lieutenant Gallant and. Officer Kenny
forced their way in the front door
and found Allen in the hail. As soon as
he saw them he raised his revolver and was
about to fire, when Officer Miller who had
effected an entrance from the rear, caught
him from behind. A fierce struggle en-
sued and he was finally subdued and re-
moved to the Twelfth ward police station.

ONLY l6l MEN ARE NEEDED.

Superintendent Potter Displays the Report
"A Striker Offers to Wager $500 on the
Result.
|. But 161 men are needed to fill the. places
of the locked-out men at Homestead. Su-
perintendent Potter yesterday exhibited
the following list of men needed at present:
Laborers, 102; melters, 2; roll hands, 4;
furnace hands, 2; rivet and bolt makers, l.;
machinists, 10; blacksmiths, 8; helpers, 2;
pattern makers, 4; roll turner's, 1; engineers,
8; bricklayers' helpers, 8; white walters, 10,
and trackmen, u.
Superintendent Potter said several Huns
had said they would re urn to work. but
had been told they would be required to re-
turn all moneys received for benefits from
the Amalgamated Association. Fifteen
more men returned to-day.
The school trouble was not as serious as
anticipated. Three deputy sheritfs accom-
panied the Misses Bailey to school yester-
dav morning, but no insults were offered
them beyond some scurrilous allusions to
"blacksheep" and "scabs" by number of
women who had congregated at the school
doors.
The puples with some few exceptions
were present and the appearance of the
deputies put all thoughts of insurrection to
fight. The older pupils were threatened
with arrest if they did aught to offend or in
suit the two teachers and the school term
for 1S92-93 was opened pacifcally
About supper time last night three
hundred of TIE men employed in the mills
filed into Homestead in parties ranging
from twenty to forty men. They hurried
along the streets, past numbers of strikers
standing OH the corners, and then into the
restaurants where they quietly ate their
supper.
The locked-out men watched the crowds
file by without a word and last night were
discussing the matter with much compla-
cency. They seemed to think the men had
been sent into the borough in body with
the express object in view of melting o riot,
and so torciblv expressed themselves.
A striker offered to wager $500 last night
that the Carnegie Company would concede
the demands OF the strikers within three
weeks.
A rumor, partially corroborated, was
about Homestead last night to the effect
that the Carnegie Company were negotiating
for the sale Of the great plot of land upon
Carnegie Hill.

Will Probably Give Much Work to the Col
lector Of Delinquent Taxes-The Matter
Likely to Be Aired in Court-Taxpayers
Angry.
The failure to rule on an injunction suit
by the county courts will probably throw a
large amount of taxes into the hands of the
delinquency collector Last March, D. D.
Bruce, of Bruce & Shields, filed an injunc-
tion against the city, the City Treasurer,
Controller and the assessors, to restrain them
from granting exoperations ON the assess
ments then made. The city officials stopped
allowing the generations but accepted the
March installment when offered Since the
first of the present month the taxpaye
have been calling at the Treasurers
office to pay the September installment and
in every case where an exoneration had
been granted City Treasurer Denniston re-
fused to allow it. Some of these people
have become angry.
Exonerations were allowed by the asses
sors for an excess of valuation and some for
duplicate assessments. However fair it
may seem to the taxpayer to be allowed an
-exoneration, the injunction of Mr..
Bruce prevents the Treasurer allow
ing it. The matter will be looked up
at once and the court asked to decide the
question. 1t is important that the settle
ment be made before October l, as after
that date unpaid amounts will be placed in
the hands Of the collector of delinquent
taxes. If the generations are not granted
the delinquinces will be Increased, as those
who have been allowed generations by the
assessors refuse to pay any part of Stheir
September installment to the City Treas
urer

fercely by the throat and with the muttered
ejaculation, "Ive got you now" he bore
his msn back. against the fence, at the same
time irving to hold Browns arm so shat he
could not raise the revolver, which he still
held in his hand.
Brown struggled desperately, but he was
in the hands of man who was more than
his match and could not break away. He
then endeavored to raise his revolver, but
the strength of Mcdowell frustrated this
effort He then pushed the revolver against
the body of the officer, and fred. With g
cry of pain Mcdowell fell back, clssping
his hands over his abdomen, through which
Browns bullet had bored CHASTITY hole.
By this time dozen officers were close at
hand, and as Brown paid no attention to
their demands to surrender, several Of them
opened fire upon him.
Killed by the Man He Shot:
Mcdowell, who had been writhing upon
the ground, managed to raise himself upon
one elbow, and with the determination to
even up matters with the man who had
shot him, opened fire from his revolver.
Brown could not escape, he was surrounded
on all sides, and before he could raise his
revolver to protect himself, q bullet crashed
through his right lung, and another tore
away the jaw and lower part of the face
This last ball had struck him in almost ex-
Rctly the same spot as he had shot Powell.
He fell to the ground and turned half over
in a weak attempt to rise again, but he had
not strength, and as the officers came rum
ming down near the passageway ne tried
once more to rise, but it was only convul-
sive movement of the limbs and in an
Instant later he was dead.
His body and that OF Powell were quickly
taken up, Browns being taken to the
morgue and Powell's to his home. Nc
Dowell was taken to the county hospital,
where he now lies at the point of death, the
chances being strongly against his recovery.
He Was a Man With a Record.
James NJ Brown was a man with
record and if Mcdowell dies, he will be the
fourteenth man who has gone down before
his revolver Brown was born ftty-two
years ago in Kansas, but moved to Texas
while a boy, and has since then made his
home in that State. He was Tor ten years
the Sheriff of Lee county, and it is said that
all the killing ne ever did was in az official
capacity. He has been a turfman for the
last twenty-five years and was generally re-
garded as square man. He has amassed
fortune on the turf, and mis- estate is esti-
mated at over $1,000, 900. He leaves
