Number Of Negroes.
ST. LOUIS Oct 1S.-A riot broke out at
one OF the polling places i'm the Seventh
ward, where Republican primaries We're
being held for the selection of delegates to
the Republican city and the Twelfth dis
trict congressional conventions. Knives
and pistols were drawn, and for time it
looked as If there might be bloodshed, but
nobody received more than bruises. Fiji
teen police officers appeared on the scene
ana quelied the riot, arresting Tom Mo
loney, one of the leaders of the gang which
caused the trouble and nine or ten other
men, Several leaders escaped during the
CONFUSION. 1t seems that the riot com
menced when A. II. Luster drove up to
the polling place with a shotgun and an
nounced himself an A. p. A., and said he
was afraid of nobody.
Another version is that he damned the
A. Z. A. and said that he was ready to
tight auy member of that organization.
His remarks, whatever they were, in
censed the crowd and a rush was made
for him. He drove off and escaped, but
the trouble continued and the men who
were later arrested attacked a number of
negroes who had already voted, or who
were waiting to do so, for the reason, it
is said, that they We're supporting A. p A.
candidates. A crowd of several hundred
people gathered around the negroes, who
were knocked down and beaten and the
single policeman present, finding that he
could not control the mob telephoned 70,
additional officers who quelled the riot.
Luster was arrested later. He said that
he was taking a friend to the polls in his
buggy, while on his way to go hunting.
This, he said, accounted for the presence
of his srun

RESULT OF THE VOLlEY,

All the Killed and Wounded Only Lockers
on, as Usual.
At any rate not a man of the real rioters
was hit, but the volley dealt death and
wounds among the people who were look
ing on. Two were killed outright and
four more were fatally wounded, one hay
ing since died. The killed are: Smith
Welsh, aged 16, and Jesse Judy. Mack
johnson, of Williamsburg, Brown county,
died in an hour. William Sans, shot
through the bowels, fatally; George Keat-
ing, aged IA, shot through both legs and
groin, will die; f. l.. Nitterhouse, an old
and prominent citizen, shot through both
ankles A full list of the wounded cannot
be had as they were taken away promptly,
but the following are known: Theo
zimmerman, Dial Parrett, John McCune,
John Korn, Earnest Ellis Frank Smith.
Upon the firing the mob dispersed in all
directions, and Immediately all places of
business in the city were shut up. Mayor
Creamer peremptorily closed all places
where liquors We're sold. Every street was
filled with people. Mothers, sisters, wives,
sweethearts crowded around the dead and
wounded and added pathos to the scene
and fire to the rage of the mob by their
dignation was bitter, vicious, and We
hement. 1t pcrvaded all classes.
As the time passed the mob grew in size
and fury. All over the country by tele-
phone, by courier and by electric wires tie
news had sped. All the roads leading to
the city were filled with men ON horse
back, in wagons and on foot, hurrying
with all possible speed to the scene of
blOOdshed. Meanwhile in Washington
Courthouse q search was going ON for
arms and ammunition and for dynamite.
Shouts were heard, Down with the
militia" BLOW up the dogs along with
the black fiend" These shouts but fee
bly, expressed the pent-up passion of every
body, for everybody was in the street and
all were members Of the mob as far as per-
sonal feeling was concerned. Men moved
about as if bent on business, but said moth
ing. There is no doubt purpose to blow
up the court house.
Of this the militia are aware If mill
tary achievements do not reach here be-
fore the moon goes down there is danger
of further bloodshed between an organized
armed mob and the militia, and in case
the mob succeeds there Is danger that
many Of the militia will be killed.

ASSESSMENT ALL RIGHT.
Appellate Court Decides for Muncie

i'm n Street Improvement Case.
The Appellate Court yesterday affirmed
the decision of the Delaware Circuit Court
in the appeal of Sarah Mock against the
city of Muncie. The suit was brought to
prevent the appellant from being assessed
S125 for the Improvement of Kirby avenue
in that place. First street was ordered
widened from forty-five to eighty feet 10
make it uniform with the avenue, and the
judged 10 be improved to the extent of $125.
Plaintiff for appellant contends that
neither the Common Council nor the Circuit
Court had jurisdiction over the matter.
This claim IS based upon the assumption
a point too remote from the proposed i'm
provement. and that il cannot be specially
benefited thereby. The Appellate Court
holds that the widening and other improve
ments of First street may make IL q more
desirable thoroughfare for driving. and the
additional travel attracted to it from cross
streets and avenues may cause decided
increase of such travel on Kirby avenue
and in front of appellants premises, and
that while this feature may not always
specially enhance the value of property.
the court is not prepared to decide that 1t
may not do so in any instance. The opin-
ion holds that the adjustment of dwelling
houses and other buildings TO the new width
may give additional value to property along
the line OF the street and its extension.
The court found evidence supporting the
verdict 10 the effect that the appellant s
property was specially benefited, and holds
that there was no error in the instructions
or ruling OF the court as charged. The
judgment therefore affirmed Judge
Reinhard wrote the opinion, in which Judge

IRON HALL PETITIONS.
Judge Winters VIII Probably Extend
the Einal Hearing.

James Failey, as general receiver Of the
Iron Hall funds, yesterday filed with the
court a petition asking that the matters
pertaining to the several States whose
funds are now in litigation remain in abey-
ance pending definite decision of the sew
eral courts. Mr.. Failey shows that in the
State of Massachusetts 100000 is in the
hands Of a local receiver, who IS awaiting
the order Of the Supreme Court before
counting with the general receiver In the
State of New Jersey it is shown that al
though the funds have been ordered sent to
Indianapolis there has been no proof Of
claims made, and further time will be
necessary in order that those holding men,
bership certificates may prove their claims.
AS to the Maryland funds, Receiver Failey
says that the trustees appointed by the
court are prepared to turn over the assets
of the various branches, but are awaiting
the decree of the court. The court here is
asked TO permit the Maryland affairs TO re-
main in statu quo.
For the Cincinnati accounting further
time is asked TO allow holders of claims TO
file them. An extension of time is prayed
for in relation to the State of Iowa, in or
der that an intervening petition asking that
the Iowa membership be permitted TO share
in the general distribution may be con-
sidered by the court. Local branch No.
S07. located at Bangor, Me-, has forwarded
its reserve fund TO Receiver Failey, but by
reason Of the failure of other branches to
render an accounting a stay of proceedings
is asked in that State. The matters in liti-
CATION pertaining to the Iron Hall funds
of Michigan are still in the courts, and an
early decision is expected. Affairs in the
State Of Tennessee are similarly tied up,
and the New York funds are yet in litiga-
ton.
Judge Winters took the petition under ad-
visement, and 1t is probable that Iron Hall
affairs will be carried over for two or three
weeks.

the fact that a part of the life fund, out of
which the death claims were to have been

About half of the amount can be recovered.
while the claims against this division
amount to $4,000 Judge Winters believes
that when the money arrives from the
Philadelphia bank he will be able to pay
70 per cent of these claims. The Judge
will be out of the city for few weeks,

FAMOUS TOLLEsTON CASE.
The Supreme Court VIII Pass on the
Zig Land Cnse.

The Supreme Court will wrestle with the
famous case of the State against the Tolle-
ston Gun Club, of Chicago. 1t came up from
the Lake county Circuit Court yesterday
on alleged errors and the refusal to grant
a motion for a new trial. The suit involves
the ownership Of five thousand acres of
swamp land along the Little Calumet river
in Lake county, which the gun club has
for many years used as a hunting ground.
Both parties to the suit claim possession of
it, the State under the swamp land act of
1850 and through patent of 1862 when the
government conveyed the property TO the
State. The dispute over its possession be-
gan four years ago.
Several Chicago clubs have shooting
grounds in the vicinity, which is marshy
and a. favorite feeding ground for wild
fowl The Tolleston club has been arbi-
trary in it's sway over the swamp land, and
has antagonzed the Lake county people,
who have brought many damage suits
against the Organization. In fact, there
have been murders in the vicinity growing
out of the clubs alleged arrogance. The
organization has guarded the land long
time to prevent poaching. The town of
Tolleston is but a few miles from the
Tolleston Clubhouse. which had a boom
long years ago, but the gun club smothered
1t because it interfered with the sport

OF Peru, are registered at the Bates. They
come here to argue a well-known case in
the Supreme Court this morning. 1t Is that
Of William w. Huntington, of Minneapolis,
against William G. MetZger TO recover $25,-
900 on a mortgage which the latter Is
claimed to have assumed in the purchase,
several years ago, of a tract of land on
Lake Minnetonka, near Minneapolis. Metz
ger and man named Wilson had a great
boom scheme on and bought about two
hundred acres of land up there, the former
agreeing, it is charged, to assume a $4,000
mortgage which was on his half of the
property. They laid 1t out in town lots,
and everything was ripe for the ''boom"
harvest when something struck 1t and away
it went. Wilson seems to have dropped out
of sight, but the deal brought Metzger
plenty Of trouble, for the litigation over
the alleged assumption of this mortgage
began three years ago, and is now in the
Supreme Court, after two rounds in the
lower courts
The above-named attorneys represent Mr.
Huntington's interests, while l.. II. Bisbee
of Chicago; Nelson & Meyers, of Logans-
port and Encouragement Smith are the
attorneys for Mr.. Metzger, who formerly
lived at Logansport, but is now resident
of Chicago. The suit was first tried in
Cass county, where MetZger got verdict
but a new trial was secured from a nisi
prius judge and change Of venue taken
to Miami county, where Huntington was
awarded his claim in full, with costs, al
together over $4,000 Then the defendant
appealed to the Supreme Court, where the
case viii be argued this morning. MetZger
claims he did not know of the existence of
this mortgage when he bought the Lake
Minnetonka property.

Stock Yard Harm Rurns

Yesterday morning one of the barns at
the Union Stock Yards burned, with a loss
of $1,000. The fire was discovered about IL
o'clock, and soon after the yards chemical,
assisted by the West indianapolis depart
ment, was at work, but the building was
destroyed. The main barn and the sheds
were saved. There is some mystery as to
the origin Of the fire. 1t is thought that the
fire originated from a stove in the barn,
although some boys were seen smoking CT
garettes in the vicinity short time before
the fire. and ii is probable the fire started
from lighted cigarette that was thrown
among the papers by a careless smoker.
