Essex market court the police were NOV
ing. The reserves, in two parties, swept
down upon Covenant and Walhalla halls
ut about the same moment. Many
bruised md lumpy head resulted from the
encounter Those driven from the two
halls, which are but forty or fifty feet
apart, gathered about the policemen, and
the more enthusiastic set up cries of
"Stone thsmr' Dynamite themr'
There was another rush and men wcrc
tumbled into the street CUTTERS and an all
round rough and tumble fight took place.
The enraged men struck right and left,
sometimes iEhiCting injuries on their fcl-
lows in their blind rage. The policemen
again used the club freely, scattering the
men in all directions. Without Il leader
and with policemen's bilies waving in
every direction the crowd, when driven
into the street, knew not which way TO
turn. Inch by inch they were forced away.
A sergeant and five patrolmen from tho
Eldredge station guarded the hall last
night, and reserves were in readiness. The
mon who precipatcd in the riots were
overawed by the police and did not gather
again in the vicinity. The general opin-
ion seems to be that there will be no moro
violence. Police Captain Devery, who
caught cutter in the act of stabbing him,
said: "If the proprietor had not had tho
three first prisoners discharged the rest
would not have been enlboldened to
wreck the hail.

IN SENATE AND HOUSE.



WAsHrNGToN, Aug. 1s, - But three
speeches were made in the house yesterday.
The first, which was delivered by Mr..
Daniel, of New York, was addressed to
rather empty benches, though the views
presented in favor of the unconditional re-
peal were well expressed. Then came
Cooper, Democrat from Florida, and lie
Immediately took rank in the first batal-
lion of the young orators of the house. He
placed himself sguarely in opposition to
the free coinage of silver and in favor of
the repeal OF the Sherman law. Coldseir,
of Illinois, closed the debate in the same
line, and then at LES the house adjourned
out of respect to the memory of the late j.
Logan Chapman, of Michigan.
Contrary TO general expectation neither
the bill to allow national banks to issue
notes to the par value of their bonds de-
posted to secure circulation nor any other
financial measure came up in the senate
yesterday. The only new proposition in
that direction was an amendment offered
by Mr.. German to the bank circulation
bill prohibiting national banks from with
drawing circulation without previous
days notice to the comptroller and with.
out the approval of the secretary Of the
treasury; and limiting the aggregate
amount of such Withdrawals to s., 900, coo
within any calendar month. Some two
hours time was consumed in dreary dis
cussion of the case of Mr. Mantle claim
ing a seat in the senate under an appoint
ment from the governor of Montana; and
the vote on that question was fixed for
p. III. next Monday. The joint resolution
for the payment of mileage for the present
session was pHssed,

EVIDENCE CONCLUDED.
The Case Against Mrs. ehann
Considered Very Weak.
A VERDICT EXPECTED TONIGHT.

Tho Mystery of tho Disembowelme ent as
fense That 1t Was Done by Insurance
Mon Not substantiated.
TRENTON, Aug. 1s.-Gcneral interest in
the Shann case is subsiding. The Hublic
feeling herGis that the state has not made
ont much of case against the prisoner.
The mystery of the disembowclment is as
deep as ever, and Mrs. Shann's story of it
Is disbclieyed; yet the state has failed to
show that She committed the deed or pro-
cured its commission.
Many theories are rife concerning the
case. The most interesting of these is
that Mrs Sham, fearing the insurance
companies would discover that her son
was diseased when he was passed as sound,
had his internal organs removed, hoping
thus to destroy proof of his disease, while
relying OF. the certificate to show that he
died OF gastritis.
The theory of the defense is that the in
surance men stole Joh0's Internal organs
In order to throw suspicion on Mrs. Shann
and escape the payment of policies, They
have proved nothing of the sort, however,
and the universal expectation in Trenton
is that the jury will acquit Mrs. Sham or
disagree.
William Whortley, a night watchman,
testified that he heard carriage pass
down Withcrspoon street, in Princeton, at
3 O'Clock in the morning OF the day that
young Shann's body was mutilated. He
met three men about the same hour about
hundred yards from Witherspoon street.
Mabel Sham was recalled and testified
that she used to give her brother medicine.
She gave him pills several times day for
two weeks during the latter part of his
sickness. Under cross-examination the
witness was asked if She did not swear at
the curorer's inquest that she never had
given John any medicine. She admitted
that she had so sworn, but she was sick at
the time and greatly distracted.
At this point ex Senator Vanderbilt ex-
,, claimed, "Tho defense rests" and the
state began the calling of witnesses in re-
,, buttal
Several witnesses were put on the stand
and swore they were on W!therspoon
street the morning of the mutilation, They
saw no lights in the Sham house. and
came across no carriages or pedestrians.
DIR. Bergen went on the stand to CONTRA
diet Mrs. Sham and her daughters who
had testified that he refused for a long
time to call another physician in for CON
sultation with him. DR.. Bergen further
contradictcd some of the evidence given by
the Shanns regarding his prescriptions.
The state offered in evidence the will of
Mrs Shann's late husband to prove her
necessity for cash and the motive she had
in poisoning her son.
The summing up in the case will prob
| ably be finished today, and it is expected
| that a verdict will be reached tonight

HUNTINGDON, Pa, Aug. 1s.-The Ma
tional Bank of South Pennsylvania, at
Hyndman, Bedford county, closed its doors
yesterday. The bank was operated by
John X. and George B, White, who owned
nearly all the stock. They also operated
four large tanneries located at Hyndman,
Dry Run and Manns Choice, which were
also forced to close down In consequence.
The firm was largely interested in the
Amazon Steamship company, plying be-
tween New York and South America, and
they owned the majority of the stock in
the Everett Electric Light and Water COM
panies. 1t is thought that all of the de-
positors will be paid in full. BY the shut
ting down of the steam tanneries over 200
men are thrown out of work

French Workmen.

Ten Italians Killed in n Fight with
French workmen.
PARIA Aug. 49, French and italian
workinsiren fought in Aigues- -Mortes, de
partment of Gard, yesterday. The fight
began in the street at noon and was car
ried on intermittently for nearly two
hours. The police made repeated efforts
to restrain the men, but were not strong
enough to restore the peace Ten men
were killed and twenty-six more were
wounded severely. A disturbance was
threatened again in the evening, but was
prevented by the police.
After the fight the French workingmen
who hha beaten the Italians started a man
hunt for the ostensible purpose of exter-
minating the foreign workingmen in the
town. They attacked with knives and
clubs every Italian that they caught. The
Italians fed from the town, and most Of
those who had been in the fight took pos
session of farm buildings and barricadcd
the doors. The troops summoned to order
rescued them early in the evening, drove
away the French workingmen and escorted
the Italians to tho railway station, where
most of the men took train for Mar
seilles. The number of wounded is now
known to be above forty. Ten dead bodies
have been found, and others probably will
be picked up in the fields. All the killed
and most OF the wounded were Italians.
