The Story of n Baltimore Drummer and an
Innocent Chap.
The Baltimore and Ohio southwestern
train was pulling west from Belpre. on
the Ohio, when the Baltimore drummer
noticed an innocent looking chap in the
next seat just slowing away the frag-
ments of a plentiful lunch i'll paper bag
ready for the next meal. Nudging his
companion, he started in to have a bit of
fun with the greenhorn.
Pretty rough country down this way,
amt it, sir?" he asked politely of tho
mild eyed lunch taker.
Eyes; West Virginny's got her ups
and downs" was the quiet reply.
Like Mary and her lamb eh?' quiz
zed the drummer, grinning.
(which"
MARY and her lamb, y'know-every-
where that Mary went the lamb was
sure to go. That's the way with West
Virginia and her hills. Why, they tell
me that the hills are as steep as the side
of mansard roof"
"1es, | guess that's right" placidly
assented the Virginian.
"And fellow was telling me yester-
day that you couldn't pasture billy
goat on those hills without tying him on
with string" pursued the tourist, grim
ming slyly at his companion.
Yes, l guess that's right" was the
unmOyed reply.
"And l heard last summer that man
up above Charleston fell off of his farm
and broke his arm. You don't think that
is so, do your and the drummer could
hardly keep his face straight.
"Think it's so? Why know it's So"
"Know it's so?" cried the drummer,
taken aback. "How the
Why" said the Virginian calmly, sit
was just this way. There was something
got the matter with the hosting tackle
of the derrick"
THE derrick" gasped the drummer.
YES, the derrick he was blowing
with-you know You always have to
pillow those perpendicular fields with
derrick-and so lie was stepping on the
elevator"
1.-The elevator" painted the drummer.
Yes, the elevator that runs up the
path to the springhouse, when he missed
his footing and fell clear across his farm

Methodist meeting house and broke his
arm against the pulpit stairs. And, You
see, happen to know all the particulars

New YORK, Aug. 1.-THE fermenting
unrest of unemployed in this city at
length burst the bounds, and on the
East Side to-day there was an explosion.
A riotous mob possessed themselves of
property which they had no money
TO hire and to which they had been for
hidden entrance by the owners. There
is in the city tonight no panic fear among
the people because of the absolute conf
dence reposed in the power of the police
to quell the restless elements.
A crowd of more than 900 unemployed
attacked Walhalla Hall to-day because
admittance was denied them. They
smashed plate-glass windows to atoms,
forced in the door which had been locked
against them, and forcibly took posses
sion of the hall. Several persons were
cut by falling glass.
All sorts of missiles were used, and
finally the police reserves had to be sum-
moned from the Eldridge-street station.
After vigorous tussle, in which clubs
were freely used, they succeeded in clear
ing the hall and dispensing the riotous
assemblage, making number of arrests
OF the rlngleaders.
The rioters We're mostly Poles and
Russians. largely from the clothing
workers unions. Several well-known
agtstors were on hand, including Joseph
Barondess, commonly known as the
liking of the Cloakmakers." Barondess
called upon the Mayor this afternoon and
secured a permit to hold an open-air
meetinp of work inpman in Union Souara
twice a week, on condition that he notify
the police so that a full force could be
present TO preserve order.

BARBARoUs PRACTICE.

Quackhal Indians Undergo the Tort
ure Dance at the Fair Grounds.
CHICAGO, Aug. IA thousand people
lined the edge of the grand basin at the
Worlds Fair to-day and watched four
Quackahl Indians undergo the torture
dance. The terrible ceremony took place
on flat in the center of the basin. Four
braves who underwent the dance had
thongs passed through strips of flesh cut
in the back. Other Indians took the
loose ends of the thongs and, using them
as reins, drove the others around the flat
as if they were driving horses, causing
most exquisite agony. Finally the thongs
were pulled entirely loose and tearing the
flesh, causing blood to flow. One of them
lost his reason because of the awful pain
and suffering. He sprang upon Inter
prefer Ford. and, fastening his teeth in
his arms, hung on until the united
strength of several men was necessary to
open his jaws. He will recover his rea-
son in short time.

PARIS, Aug. 7.-French and Italian
workingmen fought in Aigues- Mortes,
Department Of the Gard, to-day. Ten
men were killed and twenty-six wounded
severely. The police finally quelIed the
riot.
Later dispatches say that after the fight
the French workingmen, who had beaten
the Italians, started man hunt for the
ostensible purpose of exterminating the
foreign workmen in the town. They
attacked with knives and clubs every
Italian they caught. The Italians fled
from the town, and most of those who
had been in the fight took possession of
the farm buildings and barricaded the
doors. The troops rescued them in the
evening. The number of wounded is
now known to be over forty, and it is
thought that more dead will be found to-
morrow. All the killed and most of the
wounded were Italians.

The Sacramento Test Case to be Heard
First by Judge McKenna.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. I7.-Attorney
Fox appeared before Judge McKenna in
his chambers this morning and demanded
a warrant for the arrest of five Chinese
who were employed in the shot tower
They were in the country, he said, in
violation of the Geary law, and the attor-
ney wants to get the case in court to
make test of the registration clause.
Judge Mckenna told the attorney that
John L. Carey had a similar application
on file in Sacramento, and that there was
no use of listening to that Of Fox until
the other had been disposed of, the latter
being subordinate to that of Carey's.
Owing to the crowded condition Of the
criminal calendar Judge McKenna said it
had been impossible to present the Sacra-
mento case. The murder trial now in tho
Circuit Court, his honor thought, would
be finished by Tuesday, and then the
matter could be taken up.
The matter was very important one.
Judge McKenna said, and he hoped that
sufficient time could be found for its
hearing after the trial of Herman Sparf
and Hans Hansen. His honor is as
anxious to try the case as anyone else.

New YORK, Aug. I7.-Collis P. Hunt

sion of opinion on the situation so far as
it related to transcontinental lines. He
said that he was not in possession of the
necessary information to talk about trans

about the Southern Pacific, however.
and he considered that property in very
good shape. He added: "Our ships to

ERRONEOUS REPORT
Concerning the Discharge of RaiIroa,
Track and Grade Workmen.


Track and Grade Workmen.
PAso RoBLEs Cali, Aug. 1.-THE re-
ports that LOCO men had been discharged
from the Southern Pacific Railroad tun-
nels at Santa Margarita, the San Luis
Tribune says, are incorrect. Work on
the extension is now half completed.
There was force Of l,200 men at work
on the tunnel and grade, and 400 men
were discharged. The contractors have
so nearly completed the grading that it
was found necessary to discharge part of
the working force, in order that the tun-
nels may be finished at the same time as
the grading. Only limited number of
men can work in the tunnels, and it viii
be six months before they are completed.
With the remainder of the force the grad
ing and tunnel work will be completed
at the same time.
