Mary's in paying off the Indebtedness
on the Improvement scheme. He APP
peared to think it would have a good
effect. On the night after the strike
three Of the new houses built by the
company were burned. The striking
workmen were charged with the in
cendiarism, but denied it. The next
day there were three or four thousand
men out Of work in the town and a
very angry, feeling.
Director Matlock injudiciously exa
pressed an opinion about the origin Of
the fire which made the better class of
striking workmen indignant, and they
sent a delegation to the Office of the
works to get a statement from him di-
rectly, and they encountered at the
door of the Office six e armed with
clubs and pistols, who ordered them
away. An alteration ensued. Two
of the delegation were knocked down
and one had his skull fractured. The
remainder of the men vent back for
r~einforcements and in an hour there
was a mob of five hundred men before
the office. They demanded that the
perpetrators of the outrage should be
handed over or they would enter the
building by force and take them. Mat
lock refused to give them up. The
mob then broke into the Office, seized
the men and took them into the street,
where they were beaten to death. The
director then sent for the sheriff at
Paducah and te1egraphed to the gov
ernor that the English company's
property was in danger and he de-
manded the protection of the state.

Enough has been already told to in
dictate that Hendricks had in his keep
ing two prisoners whose presence add
ed a perilouS element to the UNDER
ground society. These e employed
by the secret service of the govern
ment, were to Hendricks the first direct
intimation that the forces of society
had in some way put facts enough to-
gether to warrant an intelligent at
tempt to run him down. Whatever
theory these officers had been working
on had been summarily frustrated by
Hendricks taking them both prisoners.
He had, with his usual quicknesS of
decision, summed up the whole chain of
consequences. Their mission was a
secret one and only the secret service
departments knew of it, but their dis
appearance would speedily bring about
his place the whole enginery of the
government. He expected to be be-
sieged in the end, but as war on a
large scale had been part of his ca1cu-
lation from the start tbis did not deter
him. He calculated as usual with great
shrewdness on the element of time,
and he felt sure that if the under.
ground rendezvous could be kept from
the knowledge of the public until all
his plans were matured he would pre-
serve an normo advantage yer in
a fight with the government.
In order to narrate what occurred in
the Laran at this time it is necessary

chestnut hair and arather pensive oval

Democratic Club are earnestly request
ed to meet at their club rooms at Odd
Fellows Hall this evening at 7:15 o'clock
sharp, for escort duty.
Col. w. w. Arnett will address a meet
ing at Westwood's Hall, corner Thirty
eighth and Jacob streets, Saturday
night. There should be arousing meet
ing TO welcome the speaker.
The Republican literary contingent
was on deck again last evening and
sought to revive interest in their can
vass by brass band distribution Of
Tom Reeds speech on the tariff bill,
under the frank of Congressman Bah
cock.
Hon. John j. Coniff, the silver
tongued orator OF the young Democracy
OF the Ohio Valley, will address the
people of Meigben, Marshall county,
and vicinity, next Saturday afternoon.
Preparations are being made for rous-
ing affair, and big turnout can be re-
lied upon to hear this popular speaker.
The IntelHgencer yesterday referred
to the fact that beer was served at the
close of Saturday nights meeting at
Westwood's hail, but was strangely
silent about the abundant quantity OF
that beverage which was distributed
throughout the ward by Dovener's
friends, in an effort to keep voters from
attending the meeting. Dovener's
friends are determined TO prevent Re-
pubIicans from hearing the truth about
the tariff. The Captain refused to meet
Howard in joint discussion. His friends
have taken the cue and will use every
means to prevent Republicans from at
tending Democratic meetings.
The InteIIigencer's boast that Repub-
licau meetings are all well attended,
and that Democrats are not showing an
interest in the campaign, is amusing, 10
say the least. OF course, everybody
regards the statement as one OF the
InteIIiqencer's jokes. All the Demo
cratic meetings thus far have been well
attended, while those OF the opposite
party have been failures, so far as the
attendance and interest are concerned.
Last night there were not more than
thirty persons at the Fifth ward meet
ing at any time, and the Chairman felt

ENTHUSIASTIC RALLY.
OF Sixth Ward Democrats Last Night,
Good Speeches.

OF Sixth Ward Democrats Last Night
Good Speeches.
The Democratic rally last night a
the headquarters of the Sixth WARD
Democratic Club on Twenty-fourtt
street was complete success in every
particular. The large and commodiou:
hall was crowded to the doors with one
of the most enthusiastic and intelligent
audiences ever brought together in that
district to hear logical discussions OF
the issues of the campaign.
The meeting was opened by Mr.. j.
A. Woods, the chairman. who in a neat
speech explained the object of the
meeting, after which he introduced Mr..
Julius Pollock. the Democratic candi-
date for Legislature.
Mr., Pollock spoke In very enter
tanning manner for about thirty min
utes, during which he presented facts
and figures in regard TO the tariff bill
and other legislation, which will be
hard for his Republican competitors TO
answer. II was one Of Mr.. Pollock's
best efforts.
Col. w. w. Arnett was the next
speaker introduced and his speech was
a very logical and eloquent one. Among
other things he said:
SIN speaking OF the benefits Of pro-
fiction, il the system of high protec-
tlon -, vogue under the Mckinley
Oil was 2efcial to the country,
why "ouIu M 81, higher protection
De more oe sns ,So4ch be the case
keep the products OF other countries
out altogether? Such an actioI ,pC IA
benefit no one but the manufacturer.
The working men would not be allowed
to participate in the benefits of such a
piece of legislation by their employers.
Such legislation is only for the benefit
of the manufacturers"
Mr.. Arnett drew many logical
deductions from, and comparisons OF the
present Senate bill with the robber
tariff bill supported by Mckinley. The
Colonel spoke at considerable length
and was very frequently interrupted
by vigorous applause.
The next speaker introduced was
Hop. J. 2. Wilson. who entertained toe
audience in a very instructive manner
in a short speech. Mr.. Wilson is q
fluent and eloquent speaker and held
the attention of his audience undivided
while be addressed them on the issues
o. the campaign.
After Mr.. Wilson's remarks the meet
ing was brought to close, after the
chairman had requested all the mem
bers of the club to be present tomorrow
evening TO act as an escort to ex-GoV'

House. After the meeting was over
some one in the large audience called
for three cheers for Pollock and Wilson
and the cheering was loud and long

BLOODY SHIRT AGAIN
FIsURE0 IN T6E SPEECHES At THE FIFTH
WARD REPUBLICAN MEETING.
An Enthusiastic Democratic Meeting in the Sixth
Ward-lhs Campbell Meeting To-nighi-POls
Raising-POlitcal Notes.

The Republican political gatherings
appear to be growing beautifully less in
point OF numbers in attendance the
nearer the ides of November ap
proaches. The meeting they attempted
TO hold last night at the K. G. E. hall,
/ in the Fifth ward, was farcical Illus
tration of the serious falling of OF the
faithful hereabouts. Ia that neig hbor-
hood especially z. o. y. enthusiasm must
be at terribly low ebb, because when
James Hall called the meeting to order
only sixteen stalwarts had put in an ap-
pearance. This scarcity OF high
tariff material, Mr.. Hall endeavored to
excuse 10 presenting Mr.. n. E. Whitta-
1 ker. by saying that the Fifth ward Re-
publicans turned out light at assemblies
of the kind, but they would be heard
from on election day. Mr.. Halls asser-
ton is undoubtedly true, but carelessly
or otherwise be forgot TO say that that
hearing would be in the shape of an
Unprecedented Democratic vote.
Mr.. Whitaker, in addressing his
handful of auditors, said, among other
things, that the Democratic party had
placed the business interests OF the
country in an unsettled condition, but
unfortunately omitted to satisfactorily
explain how that undesirable state OF
affairs bad been accomplished, a fault
quite common with public speakers on
his side of the fence, de claimed that
the principle OF free -qw materials
shouId not be tolerated in tbIs .,untry,
and at last got on TO MS hUeNv,
sheet iron. This theme warmed him
nm considerably and he really waXed
eloquent. In describing the appear
apce of the sheet iron monopollsts De-
fore the Ways and Means Committee In
Washington. be asked, "wbO do you
think barred the doors against US?
Why, the Southern brigadiers."
and he gave his arm a pyrotech-
nical flourish in imitatation OF the
worm-eaten "boody shirt" This
revival of very ancient issue
did not meet with any marked approval
from the audience. Then the speaker
consumed several minutes in studied
abuse OF the cDuLu anu us pcOpiCS 10y
ing all our troubles at their door. AS
might have been expected he could not
miss the opportunity to give the REGIS
TER little free advertising.
"Do you know" said he, that the
Democratic press of the country is re-
trograding from the theory Of tariff re-
form. Why, only last Saturday our
own REGISTER headlined an article,
IAN End Of Tariff Tinkerine."
In conclusion, Mr.. Whitaker said be
was not talking politics but business.
In fact, merely a question OF dollars
and cents" This is probably true so
far as he is concerned.
Bentley c. Jones, of the Warwick
Potteries, was introduced as the next
speaker. The circus methods OF this
gentleman in jumping the tariff fence
are too well known 10 call for an eI-
tended comment. His talk last evening
was confined 20 an illogical analysis OF
a speech be had heard delivered by, a
Dr0uInenL Democratic orator. His
argument was much worse than his
logic, consequently no very striking
points were adduced.

Two well known Republican Doliti-
clans OF the Eighth ward, assisted by q
large aud noisy crowd Of children,
raised Dovener pole at Thirty-six:h

afternoon. After the timber was Sc
