Kicking Among the Amsricans- o
the Bowery-Notes.

Kicking Among the British Americans
the Bowery-Notes.
There Is said to be more kicking among
the mem bers Of the British American AS
sociation. Some OF the leaders have made
political moves which have caused a dis
cussion among other members; who are
not backward in finding fault. It Is said
that the meetings are poorly attended,
and that interest is lacking. For a civic
organization 1t is said to have gone into
politics too deeply. There Is one thing
noticeable, and that Is that the Republi-
cans are not supported as formerly by the
members Of this organization.
"On the Bowery."
Sunday afforded three residents Of the
Bowery an opportunity to get full of In
toxicants and which terminated In hard
luck for two OF the participants. John
Duchense, the man who was struck by
the cars Friday night, entertained some
of his fellow workmen and while all were
having a good time, Duchenes claims that
John Forbes, one OF the party, stole from
his clothing the sum of s7.5O. When
Duchense accused Forbes of the theft
there was a fight and Officer Sherman
arrested them. Forbes pleaded not guilty
and will have a trial Wednesday. Du-
chense was fined IS and costs for drunk
ness and he went to jail to work out his
fine. William Hamilton, another OF the
same crowd, came to the court room to
see how his colleagues were used and he
was fined for drunkness S3 and
costs. All three are employed
by Sweeney, the building mover,
and Forbes is tho man who fell 30 feet,
Wednesday last at Foresters Hall, Lons-
dale.

How II Happened.

Robert Dunbar, who was the moterman
on the car which killed Conductor Sulli-
van in Fall River few days ago, was in
this city yesterday. His version of the
accident is that he, (Dunbar) left the car
at the end of the route for moment and
and Sullivan said he would change the
handles which govern the power, from
the rear to the forward end. Sullivan
changed the trolley pole and when he at
tempted to change the handles he was
standing on the track and, in Dunbar's
opinion, accidentally turned the power on
and was run over.

MARK MY BALLOT FOR THE
REPUBLICAN NOMINEES
FOR REPRESENTATIVES,.

These papers we're on both days brought
into the polling booths and handed to the
supervisors within the rails by voters
who could not read. The moderator,
James p. McVey, was twice or thrice re-
monstrated with for allowing 1t to be
done, but as he is "a Smith man he re-
fused to interfere. The Mayor and City
Solicitor sent word that 1t was wrong but
1t did no good. IL looks as II he will be
defeated at the next election because a
great many who have been honestly vot-
ing for him now openly declare against
him.
This Is a ward which is Democratic by
over two hundred majority and when the
the honest Winters men see it reduced to
81, when Winters is not In the fight, they
are getting mad at being deceived. Bet
ter results are expected tomorrow.

From the above figures IL will be seen
that only few more votes are needed. In
fact II may appear at the canvass today
that Mr.. Farnsworth is elected as there is
only a difference of dve, and 1t is said tbat
the warden of the Second Ward counted
some votes defective which will be de-
clared legal at the meeting today.
Coming to the Second Ward affairs 1t
must be said that never before has the
Democracy of the city been faced with
such open knitting. The Smith faction
has fought the regular Democracy In that
ward and has claimed that 1t was only a
'ocal-a ward-Hght and has asserted that
1t would stand by the general ticket when
ever 1t came up. They had an opportu-
nifty to prove their honesty Wednesday
when the Governors and representative
ticket, as well as the ward ticket, was be-
ing voted for and when they issued tickets
printed on the same paper, with the same
type and circulated by such heelers as

"Johnny" Smith.
As the voter was taken to the polls he
was given the following "ticket" on We'd

elling in sensational will case, which
will probably come into court for
trial this week. Countess de Vandri-

ington, and whose estate was not a large
one, divided 1t up among the different
members of her minister's family, an old
servant and charitable institution which
it is claimed does not exist.
The relatives wish to have these be-
quests set aside, alleging undue influence,
incapacity to devise, etc. In support Of
their side OF the case they cite the direc-
tions a. to the funeral contained In the
testator's will. 1t was stipulated that the
casket should be of solid silver; that the
burial robe should be Of black silk, and
that the funeral should be held on dry
day, and that the vault should only be

Religious Riot in WorCes-
ter'S Streets.
OVER 100 PERSONS ENGAGED
Turks, Arnenians and Arabians With
Broken Heads.

WORCESTER, Mass, April 10. - The
bloodiest fight this city has seen for long
time occurred in that section of the city
known as "Dungarven." The combatants
were Turks, Arabians and Armenisns,
and the trouble grew out of religious
differences. Easter Sunday was observed by
the Catholic Armenians as Easter, and they
invited some of their Mahometan and
Greek church friends to assist in the cels
bration.
Yesterday was the Mahometan spring
festival, and they returned the compli-
ment to their Catholic friends. One Of the
latter party, Domitt Jacobs, accompanied
by some friends, attended, evidently
bound to make trouble at the feast, which
was held at the house of George Dullowe.
During the FESTIVITIES Jacobs took out his
knife and cut out
A Cross In the Tabiecloth.
This precipitated fight, which was i'm
mediately adjourned to the street, where
bloody riot was in order for more than an
hour Stones and clubs were freely used,
aud at least one knife and pistol were
brought into play.
All the windows In Dullowe's house
were broken by stones, ana the street was
filled with fighting Turks, to the num-
Der of 100, while the neighboring side hill
was crowded with spectators, who watched
the fracas.
Finally the police got word OF the
trouble, and nine officers were sent to the
scene. Their appearance scattered the
fighters, but they succeeded in capturing
13 of the belligerents, three In Dullowe's
house and 10 ia cellar on A ,cension
street.
A revolver, three chambers of which had
been emptied, was taken from one of the
men, Later Jacobs, the leader of the Cath
olics, and his companions were arrested in
East Worcester Warrants are out for the
arrest of nine others
All the prisoners are more or less bruised
and wounded. An eyewitness says blood
flowed in stream for a while. Jacobs
has knife wounds in his leg and arms and
one prisoner is shot through the hand.
Another has cracked skull. Dullowe
has a bad cut on the back of his head, and
Ia woman, who was not arrested, had her
face covered with blood. How the others
Jared who escaped il is hard to tell.
Eleven of the prisoners, including Jacobs,
are charged with disturbing the peace, and
the other five with drunkenness.

Stanley on African Trade.

LONDON, April l0.-Henry NJ. Stanley
has written to the peace association that
he attributes the increase of trsde In 1899
at African potts under German admins
trstion to the growing practice among
German merchants of importing into
Africa small arms and ammunition.
These materials of war, he says, are sold
to the slave traders and do inestimable
damage. Mr. Stanley inculpates also the
Portuguese in his charges. He appeals to
the European nations to suppress the
traffic in AIMS carried ON by the Germans
and Portuguese. Unless this step 10
taken, he adds, all efforts to stop the slave
trade will be useless

SECOND WARD KNIFE.
How Il Was Used There

Robinson Wins and Other Democrats
Have Good Pluralties.

There Is to be another election for the
General Assembly tomorrow. The Demo-
Gratis elected one man Saturday and had a
large plurality on all the rest OF their tick
OF. II the Prohibitionists do not want
the Republicans to hold control again In
the Assembly theyIwill either stay at home
or else vote the Democratic ticket. They
have shown good organized movement
but OF conrse do not except to succeed,
the Second Ward against the Democrats
shows that there is an alliance between
Smith and Tiepke and the Republican
ticket. Many Prohibitionists shake
their heads when spoken to and
say that 1t Is odd that Wheaton
Cole should receive all of the Smith
strength In the Second Ward, but they do
not know that there has been an offensive
and a defensive treaty there for some
time. A great many callous critics go so
far as to say that the police station is a
party to the treaty, and cite the fact that
certain Sunday living liquor dealers are
not known at the station when raids are
made.
The public has already had the figures
as counted by the wardens, but we again
give them so that the independents and
Democrats can see Just how easy IL is for
them to win II they will only 20 TO the
