A Shameful Scramble for a
Dead Mans Shoes.
The Memory of the Murdered Mayor
Deeply Disgraced.
Aldermen Engage in FREQ Fight Over
the Temporary Mayorship- The
Police Called in to Queil
the Row.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 4-Such scenes were
never before enacted in the city council
chamber of this city as took place to-
day. Before the crepe-draped speaker 3
deek stood two aldermen, political op-
ponents, each declaring himself chair
man OF the body. The reading clerk
leaped upon the back OF one contestant
and tried to eject him. Another clerk
tore up a resolution because it was not
in line with what his party desired.
Over the sombre .draped rail of the
speakers stand leaped another alder
man upon the back of the clerk, and
his colleagues focked to his aid. Upon
him jumped an alderman OF the oppos-
ing faction, and. clutching the throat OF
the man who by force was trying
to get before the council that which
should legally have been received.
Police officials rushed into the enclosure
to separate the struggling aldermen,
and in the fight that ensued the crepe
hung about the desk of the dead mayor
was rent, torn and trampled under foot.
Men, who. three days ago, spent money
and labor to honor Mayor Harrison, dis
graced his memory today by disrepu-
table brswl over the right to sit for 20
minutes in his chair. Tonight the
council chamber is guarded by police
officers and no one is allowed to enter.
The rivalry for the craftsmanship OF
the meeting was go intense that num-
her of fist fights occurred in the cham
ber almost as soon as the session
opened.
Matters finally auieted down, Alder
man McGillen, Democrat. with the as-
sietance of Alderman Swift, the Repub-
lican caucus nominee for mayor, being
chosen chairman of the council, and q
resolution passed for holding special
election the third Tuesday of thie
month, for mayor. Pending that elee-
tion, however, it wac necessary to elect
mayer pro tenn, ard this reeipitated
another scene of disorder, in which the
police were called in to preserve order.
Meantime great crowds gathered
outside the city hall and special
details Of police were necessary to keep
them back. The council finally got
down to business. Swift was nominated
for mayor pro tenn by the Republicans,
McGillen by the Democrats. The vote
resulted 81 for Swift, 33 for McGillen,
and one blank. The chair ruled no
election. The Republicans protested
and left the chamber, but the Demo-
Gratis, fearing trick, remained in the
chamber. At the end of an hour the
Republicans returned and the session
was regularly adjourned. Counsel was
called in but was unable to decide
whether or not Swift was elected.
1t now appears that when the Repub-
licans withdrew from the meeting they
assembled in the ante-room with 38
members present, more than quorum,
and voted solidly for Swift for Mayor.
and that he afterwards took the oath of
Office.
The matter will now rest until the
regular meeting of the council Monday
night.

OUADRUPLE LYNCHING.
A Family of House-Burners Hanged in
East Tennessee.

East Tennessee.
FAYETTEVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 4.-Early
this morning on the farm OF Jack DAN
iels, near Lynchburg, Ned Waggoner,
his son Will and daughter Mary, and
his sor-in.law, Sam Motlow, were found
hanging to tree. All were colored, and
the only cause assigned for their lynch
ing is that they are supposed to have
been implicated in numerous barn burn
ings which have taken place recently in
Moore and Lincoln counties. There is no
clue as to the perpetrators.
Another account eays a mob OF over
200, all mounted and some masked, from
the west end of Moore county, did the
lynchinz, and gives the name of Mot
lows wife, Eliza, as one of the
victims, instead of Waggoner's daugh-
ter. 1t says Waggoner's wife was terri
bly, whipped and given three days to
leave the county. Henry Motlow and
jeff Wise, boy II years old, were in
the house at the time, but did not
recognize any of the lynchers. All the
negroes hanged are said to be desperate
characters and the mob made sure of
their guilt, some of it's members having
overheard them making plans to burn
barns and houses.
The trouble originated in the convic-
tion of Ed. Waggoner and his sentence
to the penitentiary last year for stealing
wheat. Sam Motlow's wife last year
robbed the house of man named
Hobbs and then burned it. Motlow WAS
desperate character and recently tried
to kill white man.

UNPAID TAILOR BILLS.

Post RudeIy Delayed.
CHICAGO, Nov. "A Daily News
Washington special says: 1t transpires
that two unpaid tailor bills which inter-
vened to detain J. Hampton Hoge of
Virginia, the new consul to Annoy, at
San francisco on the eve of his embar-
kation, will also necessitate his return
to Washington and an explanation to
the president and the etate department.
just before Hoge left for San Francisco
he went to fashionable tailor here, orr
dered several quits of clothes and left
without settling for them. The matter
was brought to the attention of P-esi-
dent Cleveland, who is diplomatic
enough to believe that even an Amer
ican consul ought to pay promptly for
his wea' ing apparel. While there are
other charges pending against Hoge at
the state department, these are not re-
garded seriously, and it is semi. officially
stated that when Hoge has made peace
with his tailors he will be permitted to
pursue his journey to Annoy.
