FOR TWO NEW COURTS.

Supreme C0urt-zRe Proposes Two
Courts or Appeal
Chief Justice Albert II. Horton is much
opposed to tho plans of some of the Re
publican politicians to have the old su-
preme court commission revived
Some Of the politicians yesterday went
20 Major Morrill, and asked that he in his
message recommend that the legislature
revive the old commission.
Judge Horton says II would be q bad
thing to do. although the supreme court
is four years behind with its docket
The supreme court commissioners were
never Of amy great assistance 20 the court
ia pushing business, although they re-
ieved the Judges Of a great amount Of
work.
The commission Is not authorized by
the constitution and its members can not
decide any cases SO that all their work
must be reviewed by the supreme court
judges which takes time. This time the
judges now give to deciding cases.
Judge Horton suggests that instead OF
reviviug the supreme court commission
the legislature establish two courts OF
appeal which would have authority TO de-
eide cases, being authorized by the con-
Britution.
Judge Horton says the courts Of APP
peal should be established, one in the

civil Jurisdiction in all cases involving
amounts less than 81, 800 or $4,000, but

courts Of appeal would provide places
for few hungry politicians they would

 -Truant Officer Fitzpatrick, the terror of the truant school boys, is around here to-day calling on parents whose children have been remaining away from school.

 Rev Father Zebris Of the Lithuanian Catholic church is in Ohio this week on business pertaining to the proposed new Catholic church. The Lithuanian Catholics are progressing rapidly with the work of raising funds for their new church. A col lection was taken up last Sunday which amounted to over $2OO.
 A woman living on South Leonard street says she was assaulted and roughly handled by crowd of young men while returning to her home from the grocery store last night. She does not think the men belong in that part of the town and is of the opinion that they are part of a band of tramps who have been hanging around here since the fine weather con- menced. They asked her for little sugar and being told that she had T one one of them seized her by the arm and pushed her against the fence, pulled her cape off her shoulders and threw 1t in her face. At this juncture the others interfered and the cape was picked up and handed back with the remark: I've were only fool ing and thought you were some one else." The men disappeared in the direction of South Brooklyn.

IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich, April 2S-Four hundred men, chiefly Italians, paraded the streets here behind red flag demanding bread. They marched to the high school grounds, where relief committee had men working, and stopped them. At a meeting the miners unanimously voted to favor a resolution ordering Poor Commis- sioner McClintock to leave the city in two hours. The Govtrnor was notified by tele- graph of the proceedings.
 Poor Commi sSioner McClintock handed his resignation to Chairman McNaughton of the county board. Several hundred idle workmen had met and unanimously passed a resolution giving him two hours to leave the city or suffer the consequences. Every one who marched through the streets with a red flag was given poor commission or der for S2, good at any store, and 3O0 orders were issued to married men, representing total number in families of 1000. Fully as many more orders will be issued.
 Single men cannot get orders and are getting boisterous. Unless outside assist. ance arrives soon serious trouble is bound to occur. A committee leaves tonight for Lansing to appeal to the governor. Con- servative estimates place the number i'll the city without a solitary thing in the house to eat at 800
 Many pathetic instances come under ob- servation. Fully 600 men gathered last night in building in Chapin, and the state will be asked to give immediate aid to pre- vent starvation. The assistance given yes terday will tide them over two days, but other help must arrive by Monday, or Iron Mountain will be the scene of riots and possibly bloodshed. The men are mostly Italians and Finlanders, with a sprinkling of Cornish and Austrians

BLO0DSHED AT TOLUCA.
Three Men Shot as the Result
 of the Miners Movements.
THE MOB WENT HOME, THOUGH.

Lieutenant Governor Gill Persuaded Them
 to Go and Sent Them Back Train.
 Starving Mob In Michigan Town That
 Means Mischief
 TOLUCA, Ills. April 2S.-When Lieuten- ant Governor Gill was introduced to the assemblage of 1000 miners he opened his address by reading the telegrams he had received from Sheriff LenZ and also the re- plies he had sent in answer to them giv- ing it as his opinion that the ordering out of the militia was unnecessary. He said he knew that the situation was not as serious as the sheriff had represented it to be, and he further stated that he had every confidence in the mineSs not making a hostile demonstration.
 President Crawford urged the Toluca men to join the strike and march to the front and be men, as did also Vice Presi- dent James w. Murray.
 After the speaking a motion was carried requesting all the miners not residents here to immediately depart from the city and allow the Toluca men to s.ttle among themselves about joining the S&,vement.
 Lieutenant Governor Gill and Mir. Dew lin telegraphed for special train to take the miners to their respective homes as soon as the above decision had been reach ed, and the men were in very congenial mood when they learned that they were not to march home.
 The train arrived in this city during the afternoon, ana the army boarded the 50 flat cars bound for Streator, going thence to La Salle and Spring Valley. The people of this city felt much relieved after the de- parture of the men, and the excitement died down. The Toluca miners at once called meeting to decide upon the ques- tion of returning to work. Some of the colored men said on the streets. that they were willing to take out their tools if the whites were. Mir. Devlin said that if his miners quit he would import negroes from Florida to work in the mines. If the min CTS here do not return to work and any such attempt is made, trouble will come.
 Rioting broke out here late in the even- ing and the first blood was shed, owing to the refusal of several miners to quit work. Three men were wounded before the Gepu- ties could reach the scene of the trouble. The fighting lasted not more than two minutes. Several pistols were fired with out other effect than to attract q crowd of miners who had been carousing in the neighboring saloons and dance halls.

Great Northern Strike.

ST. PAUL, April 2s.-When asked for q statement of the situation after the strike was declared on the entire Great Northern system, President Debs of the union said that a representative of each class of em- ployees was still in the city to watch de. velopments, all others having gone home.
 The conference with MT. Hill, he said, was carried on pleasantly, but without the effect of bringing them any closer togeth- CT. 'As to the claim that he has enough men to run the road, believe MT. Hill has been misinformed by his own friends, who overestimated their numbers" he said. Strict orders have been issued that all the strikers along the line stay in their homes and refrain from any interference with the trains which the company may attempt to move. If any violence is at- tempted or any injury is done to the prop erty of the company, it will be in direct violation of the instructions of the com mittee. But the trains will not run sim ply because the company can't get men to handle them"

The Murderers of MT. Boyce Strung Up on
 One Tree.
 TALLULAH, La., April 2s.-Four more of the Boyce assassins were captured, and when the posse who had charge of the prisoners reached the Sherly place, about two miles from Tallulah, crowd of POO mounted men met them, overpowered the officers and took the four assassins to the Crescent place and on the ground where the villainous shots were fired by the as- sassins that killed Mir. Boyce.
 The four leaders-Shell, ClaXton, Scott Harvey and Gerry McCly-were hanged to 3 tree about 100 feet from where they com .nitted their tiendish deed. The executions were conducted very quietly, the people living in the vicinity knowing nothing about them until morning, when they were surprised to find the four assassins hanging near their doors.
 Every effort possible is being made to capture Tom Griffin, the only one of the assassins at large. There are r negroes in jail here. They will be tried by jury and it is considered certain by all that the ones the law does not hang will go to the DenitentiarY.
