SOUTH SIDE NEWS.

Electric Cars Collide with Two Wa gons
Residents of Minooka Have begun to
Rebuild Meeting of Board Of Trade.
Two collisions between street cars
and wagons occurred yesterday after
noon on the South Side line. Motorman
William Mogg could not stop his con-
veyance quick enough to avoid banging
the hind end of a large wagon, the
driver of which negligently turned his
horses too close to the track. The car
was damaged worse than the wagon,
but the passengers were severely shak-
en- up. This occurred on the Cedar ave-
nue. bridge.
Where the wagon road crosses the
track almost under the trestle of the
Meadow Brook breaker, teamster was
on his way with load Of coal. Motor
man Quinnan hove in sight with his car
and the teamster could have cleared the
track without half trying. The motor
man thought he would get out of the
way, but he didn't. The wagon was
struck and knocked into the ditch and
one of the wheels broken. The teams
ter became infuriated and threatened to
annihilate the crew of the car.

POLICE DRIVE OFF THE MODS,

Cleaning Revolvers and Ready Clubs Hold
the Rioters in Check.
The earliest report of trouble came from
the Ridge Avenue depot At 1880 a ca,
with its quartette Of policemen was start
cd out and crawled safely through a
bowling mob of several thousand strik.
ers and sympathizers. A short distance
away. however, an obstacle was encoun-
tered in the shape of q heap of debris piled
on the tracks to the height of q car. A
mob surrounded the car and was only
restrained from violence by the sight Of
cleaning revolvers in the hands of the
police. When the debris had been cleared
away the car moved on, but had not pro
ceeded more than few feet when there
was fusillade Of sticks and stones.
Attemps to stop cars were made in the
mill district, but the police with the aid Of
their clubs drove of the mobs. At ONT
point in the extreme northeastern section
old boilers, railroad ties, and boulders
were piled on the tracks, but here, too the
police PIT vented serious trouble. On the
Fifth and Sixth street line an attempt was
made by gang of boys to pull out the
switches. At noon a mail car was started
from the Ridge avenue depot with a new
motorman, new conductor, and full com.
plement Of clerks The depot was sur
rounded by mob Of 1900 or 1900 persons,
Tut they allowed the car to get about q
block away. Then, led by the wife of the
new motorman, an assault was made on
the car, and the woman herself dragged
her husband from the platform
Tho outbreak was only queiled by the
arrival of regular car loaded with police
men. This was attached to the rear Of
the mail car and Uncle Sans vehicle wa
pushed around the route. A Fifth and
Sixth street car was attacked down town
by crowd OF such magnitude that the
police were temporarily overwhelmed. A
number Of the rioters boarded 1.-THE front
platform and rained blow after blow on
the motorman, who was only saved from
further danger by the arrival Of an addi
tional detachment Of police. Attempted
barricades were made at various points
along the lines during the day, but late In
the afternoon the cars ceased running and
this sort Of trouble ended

CAPT. ISAAC eAssETT IS DEAD.

Old Senate Employe Could Not Set Back the
Clock Of Time.
WASHINGTON Dec. l9-Cap:ain Isaac
Bassett, the venerable assistant doorkeepel
OF the senate, died yesterday afternoon.
Captain Isaac Bassett spent his entire
career as senate employe. He enjoyed
the distinction of having been tho second
page appointed in the chamber and the
last officer Of that body elected by ballot,
all subsequent offices being filed by ap
pointment. Captain Bassett was born in
this city 56 years ago. His father was
simeon Bassett, who came here from Mil
lord, Conn.,, and his mother was of Irish
birth. He was a prOtege Of Daniel Web
ster, who secured the appointment of the
boy, then II years old, as page. During
the subsequent sixty-four years of service
he became messenger and finally assistant
doorkeeper, or assistant scrgeant-at-arms,
the latter two off, being identical.
His duties practically embraced the over.
seeing the housekeeping of the senate, the
seating of the members and, in cases OF
emergency, the actual police work of the
sergeant-at-arm. Early in his career Is
assistant doorkeeper he calmly faced q
drawn revolver held by the elder Sauls
bury, senator from Delaware, who had
been ordered arrested for disturbing the
senate. salisbury, however, was coaxed
out by colleagues and avoided being taken
into custody. Bassett usually introduced
those who bore messages from the prcsi
dent or the house of representatives, and
participated in other like formalities. II
was also his custom to sign all caucus
calls for the party in power. and to turn
