LnwIesxness at Terre Haute,

THERE HAuTR, Ind, July 16.-Petty lawlCssness has been rampant in this city Strikers or their sympathizers cut off a Pullman coach in the Evansville and Terrc Haute yards, but ran when they had detached the car. Four men, one of whom Is known to be a striker assaulted the night operator at the Evansville and Terre Haute office. The operator drew his pistol as he was about to be struck with . cane, and the would be assailants ran. Trainmen on the Big Four were stoned and the west bound freight was run through an open switch. The Vandalia brought in 30 switchmen Saturday, and they were put to work.
 Another attempt was made to wreck the Chicago and Nashville express in the yards but the switch was inspected be- fore the train arrived, and an accident was avoided

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

An eight year old son of Patrick Donahue of South Leonard street was struck in the head with ball yeste, day afternoon while watching e game on the old ball grounds. The boy was urcon- scious for several minutes. He was cal ried to his home.
 Tax Collector Henry Wilton O. the South Brooklyn school district has grown tired of endeavoring to collect the taxes from some of the property owners in that district and has turned over all bills to At torney F. P. Brett for collection. The tax if all paid in would just about meet the running expenses of the school, but it seems to be impossible to get some of the residents to understand that they can be compelled to pay this tax. The difficulty experienced in collecting the bill has oc- cosioned much trouble in the district and the strangest thing of all is that those who can besu afford to pay are the ones who have stubbornly refused to comply with the law.
 There is considerable talk among rss;4 dents of this section relative to the amour. of money it cost to keep the sewer in South Riverside street, between Bank Street and Washington avenue, in repair. It is said that the sewer has not sufficient grade to force the sand and other matter that enters it into the main sewer and that it becomes clogged every other week. Be this as it may it is certain that there are quite a good many men employed there at fire auent intervals cleaning out the manholes. One of the property owners said to-day that it would be a good idea to build a shanty there and keep the men on hand all the time.

The YaIe-oxford Contest Today EIosres
 Great Interest.

LONDON July l6-Thcrc Is without any doubt whatever greater interest being manifested in today's contest between tho Oxford and Yale athletic teams than was ever shown in any previous gathering of athletes in Great Britain. When the con test was first proposed here, little interest was taken in 1t by the public, but since the arrival of tho Yale team curiosity and speculation have grown until now every body who takes any note of college con- tests is on the qui vive of expectation.
 The interest in this contest overshadows for the time being that taken in other sports, not even excepting the Britannia- vigilant race that will take place today of Bangor, Ireland It is thought that the mishaps that have befallen the con testants during their practice arc likely to modify what would otherwise have been c very high standard of results Never theless a grand exhibition Is anticipated All the details of tho contest have now | been settled and the order of the pro gramme fixed, but us yot 1t Is kept secrct | The newspapers have devoted much space | to articles on tho condition and perform nnces of tho athletes, and this morning they publish long preliminary notices ot the contest The Times, giving Its final | conclusions before tho match. says that | Fry of Oxford has jumped 23 feet 65S inches, but he strained his heel in prac- tice. and this may reduce tho length of bis \ jump today sheldon of Yale should, | Tho Times thinks, jump 23 feet in spite | of his wrcnched ankle.
 Swanwick of Oxford also injured hi' heel, and this may handicap him in ths
 high jump. Still ho has cleared feet iO1. | inches. and ho Is certainly superior h
 form to Cady. Fry of Oxford did 100 yardi
 in 10 I-5 seconds in 1898. and the practic' of the Yale men at Oxford affords nt ground for supposing that either of thu
 Yale men in this event will run the dis

Is the Red Hand of Revolution Neces- sary in this Coun- try?
 Why Talk of the Bullet When all can be accom- pIished by the Ballot.

The above are the ringing words of T. V. Powderly, and who will say that they are not truthful words? If ever there was time when the patriotism of the people of this country should be awakened, NOW IS THE TIME. An ounce of prevention is worth oceans of cure. Washington and our fathers fought and won our liberties by the bullet; it is for us to preserve them by the ballot. There is no intelligence in talking anarchy to the American voter. The inventive genius of the American people has found better way to redress any social evils which may arise. That social evils do exist, no sane man will question; but physical force is the stage coach of a barbarous age. WE WANT THE MIRACULOUS ELECTRIC BAL LOT THAT DECLARES 12.GO0, 900 VOTERS TO BE KING in 24 hours. Can we afford to trifie with the sacred character of the Declaration of Indepen- dence and our American constitution Behold what the Waterbury Furniture company has gained by applying intelli- gent methods to business enterprise People are coming from every quarter of the state to see our magnificent warerooms filled with goods of every quality and de sign. Every mother and every mothers child knows that when they come to us they will get 100 cents worth of goods for every dollar they spend. We take pride in watching the market closely. for the cheaper we can buy our goods, the cheaper we can sell them to the customer.
 We have another carload of those Cham Der Suits and Parlor Suits that have been such welcome surprise to the people. Remember we have the best storage ware house in the state and you can have your goods under lock and key, night watchman in the building.

Reed delivered an address before meeting held under the auspices of A. R. U., in which he declared he was an anarchist. He continued by saying:
 Jesus Christ was not only an anarch. ist, but was killed by the representatives of tho law. church and state for daring to practice humanity. Jesus Christ was an anarchist and a socialist, but never read of his being a deputy sheriff. [Cheers. l Nothing has discouraged me so much In tho past few weeks as to see so many men anxious to take a gun and offer to go out and shoot their fellow mon for the mere pittance of 8 a day. look at this effort now being made by such men as Pullman as an effort to break up all organizations of labOring men, so that they can deal with the workingmcn one by one and gradually get them down to pauperism and serfdomn TT

Mayor Pini q very original and picturesque character. He was born ill Ipswich, Mass in 1S40, and in 1854 began learning the. shoe makers trade in a factory at Hopkin- ton, Mass. When tho war opened, he joined Company F of the Fourteenth Massachusetts infantry and was in the battle at Spottsylvania Courthouse, where 500 of the 1. 500 members of his regiment were killed.
 Pingree then joined the Fi-st Massa- chusctts artillery and shortly thereafter, while on special duty, was captured by Mosby's men. General Mosby saw that Pingree wore good clothes and at once ordered the young private to change with him. Pingree was then sent to diff ferent Confederate prisons and spent five months in Andersonville. He was exchanged in 1864, but immediately re- enlisted and served during the remain der of the war.
 In 1865 he made Detroit his home and began work in a shoe factory as n bench hand Soon thereafter he started factory of his own. Eight persons were at first employed, but the business has been so successful that the factory now has over 700. Mayor Pingree is a Republican, but he never dabbled in politics until 1890. when he was urged to run for mayor. He did so and was elected. He at once locked horns with various local monopolies that he believed were overcharging the people and is said to have reformed many alleged abuses He is now serving his fourth term as mayor of the city and it is said proposes to make n fight in the legislature next winter for the seat of United States Senator McNillan.

 CHICAGO, July 16.-Thc American Rail- way union officials have determined to make a. desperate struggle to regain for the order the prestige it has lost in the strike now rapidly approaching a close. The executive board of the union held a meeting, the object of which was to map out n course for the future. After lengthy discussion it was decided to send out revivalists'' to all important sections of the west. Agitators had been sent out Saturday, and it was intended to augment this number.
 The names of those sent ont Saturday will not be given out, " said President Debs to a reporter flor fear of their being arrested for melting a strike.''
 It was learned elsewhere, however, that Director Kern was sent to St. Louis to rally the forces there. Hogan was sent out over tho Northern Pacific to stir up the employees of that company, and Good win was sent over the Northwestern line to use his influence with the employees of that system and if possible induce them to $, out. These delegates are all members of the executive board of the union Other emissaries M,-o sent out to work withuasns ployees of the n,.."v lines entering thls city.
 After this meeting adjourne,. m en- thusiastic meeting was held in Uhneh S hall in North Clark street President Debs presiding. He made n ruusing speech. re- minding one of the early days of the strike.
 The strike" said he, lis now-right now-moro prosperous and more cncour- aging than ever before. We can and must win. The men who have gone back tG work will again come back to us, and vic tory is ours
