RUSH OF The UNEMPLOYED.
PLACES FOR FoRTY-TWo MEN, BUT
1000 APPLIED FOR WORK.

A Scene That Showed the Distress in
Denver-work TO Be Done on a Sewer,
and Men Almost Rioted to Get at the
Tools.
Nav YORK, Aug 10 "A special to the
New York Sun from nver says:
Work was begun on the city sewers
this morning, and for a time riot
seemed certainty, so ca er were men
to get work IL was announced that
ground would be broken on the north
side sewer at Nineteenth aud Platte
streets. By daylight workmen began to
appear on the spot. by z o'clock there
were fully 1000 men scattered about,
each anxious to be hired. There were
several hundred Italians in the crowd
and tureats were hear against them on
all sides The general expression was
That If the reigners secured work in
preference to hungry American citizens
and men who had families, riot would
ensue. Fortunately there was no vio-
lence.
About o'clock team was driven up
| with load of picks aud shovels, aud i'm
mediately there was a rush and scramble
TO see who would be the first TO get hold
OF tool of some kind and get to
work la the pulling and hauling that
ensued some OF the men were pretty
roughly handled
Several Italians got hold of picks OF
/ shovels, but they weie o. permitted 10
20 10 TX. When the confusion was
greatest Contractor Hindry came up
Immediately he was bssieged by men
eager 10 secure employment he told
them that as soon as he could get the
work straig ghtened out he would do the
best be could for them. He said that he
had not hired the Italians who we're pres
ent aud would not give them work This
produced quiet
The men who got the tools at once
started TO work although time bad not
been called The foreman stretched bis
liue for the course of the sewer, Al d
scarcely had the cord been drawn tsui
when the picks and sbovels we're moving
aud the dirJ began to fly. Some of ihe
men who were unable 10 secure tools be
gan pulling weeds and actually tried to
dig Ia the ground with their hands, SC
eager were they to get employ ment
.s hen the foreman called for hammer
to drive a stake into the ground fifty
men jumped to get bin one.
Never before in the history of Denver
wss here such eagerness for work
After the confusion bad ceased at s
o'cloc .foriy-two men were counted al
work in the trench. Three Of then
were Italians. bus they were men who
had taken out naturalization papers,
and who have families ia the city
Then the foreman was besieged by
applicants who wanted to be aiken on ai
noon. Many pitiful stories of hungry
wives and children at home were told,
but in the confused condition of affairs
nothing definite could be arranged
Although the wages for labor is oDl,
$3.50 per day, smiles were seen on thu
faces of those who had been iortunatl
enough to get to work.

tained from them. Their hign standing
Ia the social aud legal world Of WAIST
iugton gives an Importance 30 the suit
that 10 might not otherwise possess
The case has caused a great sensation iu
Washington, in and out of Congress
The Star asst evening said
The Breckinrdge breach of promise
case IS talked about to day among Mr.
Breckinridge's colleagues more than any
other topic II is developed that Mr
Breckinlidge is now. aud has been ever
since he arrived in " asbington, under
police protection II is SAID that he had
reason 10 believe hat either Miss Pollai d
herself or her brother designed to shoot
hin. and that before coming to Wash
iugton he communicated wit the police
department asking TO give him protec-
tion
Detectives Weedeu and Boardman
were detailed to pro ect him, and they
have been at the Cspito Whenever be
has been there. and have slsO watched
over him on the street. II Is understood
that detectives have been shadowing
Miss Pollard, also, in order to give
W rning or perhaps to arres. her If she
came TO the Capitol or went elsewhere
where Il would be apparent that sue was
trying TO put herself in his way. II has
been feared for some time that the cas-
would be one of homicide instead OF
breach of promise, and Il is said to be q
relief to Mr. Breckinridge to have it &c
into the courts, rather than to be con.
stsntly in fear of the matter being set
tied more promptly outside of the law
'At police headquarters to-day no one
would aomit that the police had beer
called on to protect Mr., Breckenridge
1t is known that Detectives Weeden ant
Boardman we're taken of their regular
duty by Major Moore and put on dutl
at the Capitol While the detective
deny that they were there looking on
for the safety Of Mr.. reckinridge
"Major Moore declined to say anything
about IL, and his manner was such as t
make it apparent that there was founds
tion for the report.
while the detectives denied tha
they we're at the Capitol in the Breekir
ridge matter. they would not divulg
the nature Of their business. At sn
rate, they were not at the Capitol tS
day. and It is hinted that there is n
longer any fear of violence, now this
the suit has been fled. A Star reporte
was told on good authority that tn
police were requested to do duty at tn
Capitol in connection with tn, affai
and that orders to preserve the utmos
secrecy we're given"
