The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1893-12-01

I'll to be hoped that the matter of
the retention of police Justice in the
city Of Roanoke was settled on Wednes-
day night for good and all Several un-
successful attempts have been made, as
the new charter has come up for consid
Grafton, to abolish the position, a move.
as it is supposed made with the idea of
reducing the expenses of the city gov
eminent. 1t would be, we have no
doubt, false economy to attempt any
thing of such nature. While in
smaller localities the mayor may PROF.
erly be called upon to exercise the du-
ties of magistrate, it is no reason whv
city the size OF Roanoke should pro
scribe any such regulations for it's
CHER Official. 1t has been salts
factorily proven that business man
is perhaps the best fitted for the
position of mayor while on the contrary
he has not the qualifications necessary
for police justice. A good knowledge
of law is requisite for the proper admin
lstration of the affairs Of this Office. IT.
may prevent in the decisions, upon
which he must at times decide. deal
of trouble and possibly expense and lit
igation into which wrong decision
might throw the city. 1t would be far
better policy to reduce the salary of the
mayor and make the office more OF an
honorary position than to abolish the
office of police justice, every cent of
whose salary is earned by the admins
tration OF the duties now demanded by
this city.

EMPTIED ONE SAFE.
Masked Robbers Hold Up Santa
Fe Train Near CimarrOn,
Kan.
They Batter Down the Express
Car Door and Wound the
Messenger.

CIMARRoN, Kan, June 10. - Five
masked robbers held up the California
express Oh the Santa Fe half mile
west of here at 1: 20 o'clock this morn
ing, wounded Express Messenger e.
c. Whittlesey, of Kansas City. secured
$1,000 in silver and the contents
of the way safe and escaped. The
train had hardly got out of sight of this
place when the engineer saw danger
signal OH the>track. A bridge was near
the place, and. fearing that something
was wrong with it, he slowed up. Be-
fore the train could come to stop two
masked men swung themselves onto the
locomotive and covered the engineer
and fireman with heavy revOlvers. The
engineer was forced to take a sledge
hammer and 60 to the express car. Mes
senger Whittlesey refused to open the
door, and the engineer was ordered to
batter it in. after the outlaws. who had
been reinforced by three others, had
fired several shots into the car.
When the door had been broken open,it
was found that the messenger had re-
ceiyed wound In the left side which
disabled him. but will not prove fatal.
Whittlesey was ordered to open the
through safe, but could not do so, and
the robbers were forced to content
themselves with the contents of the
way safe, which were put in a sack.
All this time three of the outlaws stood
outside firing at the passenger cars and
shouting oaths to intimidate travellers.
Ten thousand dollars in currency and
some jewelry had been hidden by the
messenger, and was not found by the
outlaws. The silver was for the bank
at Trinidad, Col. The robbers then
fixed the cot for the messenger, and
placed him on it. No attempt was made
to rob the passengers. and as soon as
the outlaws had cleaned out the express
safe they fired parting volley. put
spurs to their horses, and dashed
off southwark. The train was run
back to Cimarron, and the alarm
given. A sheriff's posse was soon in
pursuit, but could only track the out
laws a few miles, where they had
stopped and divided their booty, as sew
eral silver dollars were found at this
place. The robbers are supposed to be
four men who came up from the south
yesterday morning and went north Of
here four miles, where they got dinner
and supper at farm house. They were
all mounted on tne horses and we'll
armed. They stole two horses near
Ingalls, the same night.

Chief Justice Fuller Suspends the
Temporary Injunction.

Temporary Injunction.
CHICAGO, June 1O.-Chief Justice
Fuller today entered suspension of
the temporary Injunction which had
been granted by the United States cir
cult court to restrain the Worlds Co
lumblan exposition from opening the
grounds and buildings on Sunday. He
set the hearing for the United States
circuit court of appeals for Thursday
morning at 10 o'clock, and orders that
notice be given to Judge Bum, of Mad
ls0n, and Judge Allen, of Springfield,
to be in attendance.
The Clingman injunction suit came
up for hearing again in Judge STEMS
court today. Attorney Mason asked to
have the restraining order granted by
the court against the exposition direc-
tors extended to the South Park COM
missloners. He entered the appear
ance of Attorney General Maloney in
the case, who asked the amendment to
the injunction in the name of the peo-
pie. Attorney Green, representing the
South Park commissioners, entered
disclaimer in objecting to the motion.
He said that the park commissioners
had nothing to do with it. The court
granted further time to the park COM
mlssloners to prepare an answer. At
torney Mason said that Attorney Gen
eral Moloney would file a bill in the
name of the people asking to have jack
son park kept open, and ne would ask
all the chancery judges to sit in the
hearing of the case. Judge Stein put
the hearing of the motion down for
Thursday morning next. Attorney
Mason said that if the:fair we're closed
tomorrow he would have all the fair
officers attached for contempt of court
in disObeying the preliminary injunc-
tion granted by Judge Stein.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-The life ten
ure rule for fourth-class postmasters
has been rescinded, and hereafter four
years will be considered term for that,
as we'll as higher grade rOstotfices.
When Postmaster General Bissell an
nounced early in March that no fourth
class Dostmasters would be changed
except for cause, members Of congress
could hardly bring themselves to be-
lieye that he meant it, But he did, and
the rule has been scrupulouSly car
ried out. Today, however, gentle
man went to the department to in
quire,why a postmaster in Georgia who
had served twenty years had been re-
moved. "He has been removed" was
the answer, because hereafter four
years will be considered term, and he
had served much longer than that"
This change greatly simplifies matters
in all the states. The leaders and the
people know where they are at, and it is
not necessary to stab man in the dark
to get him out of office. There is no
doubt, however, that the four-year rule
will be rigidly adhered to except III
cases particularly aggravating.

QUIET AT LEMONT.
of the Negroes Discoy-
cred.
Troops Arrive on the Ground, and
Now All Is Peace
full.

CHICAGO, June 10. - Following the
turmoil and bloodshed of yesterday,
quiet has fallen on the town of Lemont.
This morning added another to the list
of dead. George Kiskia, who was shot
through the right lung, expired at 6
o'clock. On the ground, beneath huge
oak tree at section 10, covered
by gray woolen blanket, lies
the body of another victim of
yesterdays trouble. His name is not
known. though he is said to have been
a leader among the strikers. AS the
day wore on, still another was added to
the list Of dead. Just at the county
line an unknown man was found, whose
body was fairly riddled with bullets.
He had evidently been shot during the
melee, and had run or walked nearly
half mile from the scene of the trouble
before he Succumbed to his wounds. 1t
is generally believed that at least from
three to five dead bodies are in the
canal. A dozen strikers were seen to
plunge into the waters after volley
from the drainage men. How many
were wounded so severely as to be un
able to swim to the opposite shore is
unknown. 1t is said that several failed
to rise. This morning Supervisor Wei
mer, of Lemont. gathered force Of
men and began to drag the canal for
bodies. John KluZa, one of the wound
ed, is expected to die at any moment.
At 2 O'Clock this afternoon three COM
panies of infantry under command of
Col. Bennett. OF the Third infantry. de-
barked at Romeo, about three miles
south of this place. An hour later they
were reinforced by another company
from Elgin, ILL.,, and by 10 o'clock at
night Col. Bennett had under his
command eleven companies, ag-
gregating 400 men. Gov. Altgeld
arrived in about the same time as
the Second infantry. He Immediately
went to visit the scene of last nights
battle, and, after wading through
the mud in the tow.path, came back to
Lemont to gather information regarding
the occurrence. He was surprised at
the quiet which pervaded the place, and
intimated very strongly that unless be
had believed that there was more trou-
Bile than was evident, he never would
have ordered out the troops.
II never saw more quiet place in
my life," he said. "There certainly is
nothing at the present time, as far as |
can see. calling for the active interfer-
ence of the military. What l may find
as | investigate the case is another mat
ter"
The inquest over the bodies of the
men killed in Cook county has been
postponed until next Tuesday.
After his arrival Altgeld Immediately
commenced an investigation of the
trouble which led to yesterdays tragedy.
After the investigation the governor
stated it as his opinion. so far as his in
vestigations had gone, that the shooting
of the strikers by the drainage men was
unprovoked and uncalled for.

on the grounds as part of its exhibit.
The officers of the company complied
with the requirements of the govern
ment so far as the erection Of the still
was concerned, but before getting per-
nit from the internal revenue depart
ment, it brought in several hundred
bushels Of mash and connected the still
by means of 800 feet of steam pipe
placed underground with the boilers of
thes power house. Everything was
in readiness for beginning operations.
but the officials of the company de-
clare they had no intention of moving
wheel until the government permit
should be procured. The internal reve-
hue officers found out at night that the
steam connections had been made and
that mash had been brought to the
building in violation of the revenue
laws. They at once reported the case
to Collector of Internal Revenue
Manner, who at once ordered the place
seized and placed under guard. The
matter will now have to be settled III
the United States courts.

ST. CLOUD, Minn.. June 1O.-The feat
ure of the Doolittle trial today was the
testimony of the defendant. Mrs. Doo-
little was the only witness put on the
stand by the oefense. She occupied an
hour in the direct examination in telling
her story. She said that her Made
name was Anna Nj. Randall, and that
she was an adopted daughter of the late
Senator Andrew McCrea, of Perham.
In 1885, after leaving the st. Cloud Nor

prosecution confronted her with a S475
draft similar to these cashed in st.
