RIOTS GROWING MORE SERIOUS.

Women Killed anu Men Wounded by the
soIdiers-worse Things Threatened.
BRUSSELS, April 15.-The most serI-
Gus disturbance that has yet occurred
during the present agitation against the
Chamber OF Deputies for rejecting the
universal suffrage bill took place last
night at Jolimon. In q fight between
strikers and, Rendarmes, one woman
was killed and three of the strikers
seriously wounded, The gendarmes
attempted to disperse . gathering
of strikers and met VIII strong
resistance. In the mob number
of women encouraged the men to give
battle to the police. Spurred on by the
women the strikers fought desperately.
Clubs and stones were freely used and
there was prospect OF the gendarmes
being worsted, when the latter drew
swords and charged. Slashing right
and left the gendarmes moved through
the mob, which broke and scattered In
every direction, hurling stones and
other missiles as they ran. The three
wounded men were removed to hos
pital and the body OF the dead woman

great excitement.
The labor leaders, many Of whom are
Socialists, are striving to make the
strike general. In Client their efforts
are meeting with success, and every
day fresh accessions are gained by the
strikers. The situation is acute, but
the Government is vigilant.
The strikers in Ghent are causing
much trouble In that town. To-day the
strikers determined to force the non
striking weavers to quit work, and in
consequence bloody riot ensued. The
rioters, numbering hundreds, attacked
the workers and severely injured many
Of the. The police were powerless to
handle the mob. Two police captains
were quite badly wounded by stones
thrown at them. The police retreated,
whereupon the strikers took possession
of the quarter and acted in most dis
graceful manner.
The civil authorities called upon the
military for aid. Cavalry was ordered
to disperse the mob.
MIDNIGHT-The night has so far passed
without disturbance but there Is every
indication that the coming week may
witness scenes of violence worse than
those that have passed. The situation
in the provinces is grave and reports Of
strikes, disorder and struggles between
the people and the military are being
received from various directions. At
Trazegnies, near Charleroi, severe
conflict took place, the working people
stranuouslv ras{StinO the orders Of the
police, and military to disperse. The
soldiers at length charged upon the
mob, killing one workingman and
woundlng a woman. The rioters then
scattered and resistance ceased.

A NEW ORGANIZATION.
Railway Men VIII Form an Organization

Which VIII Not Recognize Strikes and
Boycotts
CHICAGO, April 15.-The men who for
several days have been laboring on the
formation Of the American Railway
Union to-day completed the first step
in the enterprise and have issued q
lengthy document setting forth the
outlines OF one of the greatest
labor organizations the world
has ever seen. The union
proposes to enlist, as far as possible, all
railway employees OF every description,
and It's avowed object is the abolish
ment OF the strike and boycott as means
OF settling difficulties and the eradica-
tion of the heavy taxes and dues which
members OF the various organizations
are now compelled to pay. 1t is
claimed in the prospectus which
has been issued that the pres
ent organizations Of railway men have
never held much mutual confidence
in each other, that they have not been
able to exist without jealonsies and an
tagonisms. These it is proposed to wipe
out, by bringing all the men under one
organization which deals with each man
individually. There are TO be no secret
meetings, nor grand officers, and no
grievance committees. All minor
difficulties between employees and
corporations are to be ad-
adjusted without strikes but at the same
time with all regard for the rights and
best interests OF the men, Beside the
main, point, the regulation OF labor
troubles, the organization comtemplates
several side issues, as an employment
bureau, an insurance department,
and other features, A meeting
will be held on Monday for the
election OF officers. The men who have
formed the union are Z. V. Debs, Of
the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Fire
men, l.. w. Rogers and w. S. Missmer,
OF the Brotherhood OF Carmen, w. +.
Arnold, of the Brotherhood OF Locomo-
tive Firemen. Geo. w. Howard, eK-
Grand Chief OF the Brotherhood Of
Railway Conductors, J. Clark, Of the
Brotherhood of Railway Telegrephers,
Henry Walton, Brotherhood OF LOCO
motive Engineers, and w. Il. Seybring,
OF the Order OF Conductors.

lie test of the Brown segmental wire wound

guests from New York, Philadelphia and
other cities.
Three shots were fired and the gun sue
cessfully withstood pressure which the
experts declared would blow any other gun
in the world TO atoms. The tests to-day
broke all records and marked a decided
step forward in gun manufacturery, plac-
ing the United States in van in gun making
as it already is In armor plate making.
The tests to-day were in charge OF Lieut.

railroad car and taken by special train

charge of twenty pounds Of special slow
burning powder was used. The prolectlle
weighed sixty pounds.
The gun still mounted on the car was
pointed at the stone quarry and when the
spectators had retired, the electric connec-
tion was made. There was sharp report
and a big puff Of smoke and cloud of dust
and broken rocks rose from the stone
The gun recoiled about FIVE feet on the
car. and the car itself moved a dozen feet
backwards.
The test showed a pressure Of %, 200
rounds to the square inch. The gun was
cleaned and reloaded with 25 pounds OF
powder.
The recoil was ten feet. The gun showed
a pressure of SO, 500 pounds. The gun was
carefully examined, and showed no signs
of injury. The third and final test was
then made.
The charge was 80 pounds of powder, the
projectile sixty pound weight. The shot
made louder report than either OF the
others. The gun was recoiled about 10
feet and a section of the stone quarry rose
in the air as the projectile stru ok.
On examining the test guages, which
were set 10 show a pressure between
AZ, 900 and 10000 pounds, it was found that
the pressure had gone beyond the larger
figure and exceeded anything ever before

Engineers Recognize the Justice Of the

CLEVELAND, April 15.-The Lake
Shore engineers who struck at Toledo

the brotherhood Of Locomotive Engi-
neers waited upon General SDperintend-
ent Caniff aud held an all days session
with that official Those present re-
fused TO make any statement; but IL
was learned from a good source that the
Lake Shore emphatlcally refusud to re-
ceive the men at present. No reasons
were assigned for this position except
the conduct Of the men in leaving work
az such a critical time. The stand OF
the railroad company will not cause any
disturbance In the Brotherhood, as the
return OF the men was made In terms OF
a request rather than demand. The
case OF Engineer Lannon was not re-
ferred 10, as he Is still in the hands Of
the court. A well known engineer,
who is an official in the Brotherhood,
was seen to-day. He said: I'VE are not
much surprised at the result Of the con-
ference. No disturbance will arise from
the refusal, as the engineers are sufii-
ciently we'll acquainted with the facts

TO BREAK M. F. DWYER.
The Pool Room People Getting Back at
the Race Tracks In Fine style.

tuo hhCo lThChb III NAuo OedAC'
NEW YORK, April 15.-Peter DeLacey,
the well known pool room keeper, and his
counsel, M. j. Stein, assisted by the Law
and Order Society of Union county, N. j.,
have raked up an old law Of 1874 which
makes all sorts Of betting come under the
head Of lottery gambling.
Delacey and his allies rolled up no less
than sS52, 900 in suits against M. F. Dwyer
to-day.
This is particularly embarrassing, be-
cause under the law, as interpreted by the
lower courts, bonds 10 double the amount
of the suit must be given.
Therefore under suits made public to-day
Mr.. Dwyer and his racing associates will
have to pony up sl,704,000 and what is
worse still, that aggregate will be swelled
by daily prosecutions of the same charac-
ter.
The aggregate Of the suits brought to-day
include the three days OF the present meet
lug and alleged violation of the lottery law
at the Elizabeth race course in 1890, which
was the last season racing that was held
there.
The same fight will be made against
Monmouth Park, but as Guttenburg is at
peace with DeLscey 1t will not be molest-
ed. No effort was made 10 obtain the ST.,
704, GOO bonds needed to comply with the
law.
