FEE SYSTEM WRONG.
Judge Kicks Will Not be I'm
peached.
But the Judiciary Committee
Will Make a Report
CENSURING KICKS
And Blaming the Fault on the
Fee System.
ENSURING KICKS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The attempt
to impeach Judge Augustus j. Kicks,
of Cleveland, Ohio, failed in the house
Judiciary committee by an adverse
vote of g to 2. and instead of a resolu-
ton for impeachment which Mr..
Bailey, of Texas, had prepared to re-
port to the house, one will be pre-
scented denouncing the fee system,
which. in the opinion of members,
has made the proceedings pos
sible. Judge Kicks gave a personal
explanation to the committee of the
accounts in the Birdsall case, which
he had handled as clerk of the court,
and which furnished grounds for the
investigation, and testimony was
given against him by Martin W. San
ders, who had been his deputy clerk
and succeeded to the clerkship when
Judge Kicks was promoted to the
bench. Yesterdays review of
the case, which was of a Bit
ter and acrimonious character,
changed the opinion of no mem
Der of the committee and the
charges were ignored, as it had been
expected they would be w u all the
members could be brought together
for vote. The case was made largely
party question, although Kicks had
four Democratic votes, and as the
next congress is strongly Republican.
there is no probability it will be re-
vived.
At the close of the examination of
Judge Kicks the following resolution
was passed:
Resolved, That while the commit
tee is not satisfied that Judge Kicks
has been guilty of any wrong com
united while judge that will satisfy
it in reporting a resolution of i'm
parchment, yet the committee cannot
too strongly censure the practice
under which Judge Kicks made up his
accounts
1t was offered by Mr.. Harrison, OF
Alabama.
All who stood for impeachment at
the last meeting voted against the
resolution, while those who voted
against impeachment, with the ad-
ditiOn of Messrs. Wolverton and Lay
ton, favored the resolution. The
vote was:
Yeas-Goodnlght Democrat, Ken
lucky: Layton, Democrat, Ohio;
WOlvertOn, Democrat, Pennsylvania;
Harrison, Democrat, Alabama; Ray,

publican, Vermont; Broderick, Re-

KILLED BIZ THE MILITIA.
The First Fatal Encounter of the Brooklyn
Strike.

The First Fatal Encounter of the Brooklyn
Strike.
BROOKLYN, n. Y, Jan 2S.-rhe t1rsr
fatal encounter of the strike took
place about II o'clock last night,
when in an encounter with a few boys
at the Halsey street station of the
Brooklyn City Railway company a
volley was fred by the militia. Henry
Ahnes of New York city, was fatally
shot. musket ball entering at his
mouth and passing through his head.
Another man, whose name is Will
Jams, was wounded in the arm. The
shooting had the instant effect of dis
persing the mob.
The ninth day of the tie-up has
closed without bringing material
change in the situation. It has been
day of alarming rumors, which
fortunately have slight or no founda-
ton. There were, between day break
and nightfall, numerous brushes be-
tween the police and militia on one
side and the strikers OF headstrong,
law-defying sympathizers with their
cause on the other
The linemen's strike. which was to
have tied up the trolley lines more
effectually than had been done by
the strike of motormen, conductors
and other employees, was called off
before it was fairly on, and later in
the day the mandate of Master Work
man Connelley was promulgated
calling upon the linemen to abandon
their situations. What Influenced the
strike manager to call the 1inemen's
strike off thus quickly and then to
order one again cannot now be told.
The reason assigned for the latter act
is palpa bly, but a pretext.- The effect
of this move, which the strikers have
compared to the playing of high
trump card, remains to be demon
strated.
The developments of the day have
not been assuring as a whole. In
spite of the fact that there are under
arms in the city 5000 state soldiery
and /, 500 policemen are on duty, in
tramural traffic is suffering virtual
paralysis, in which the industries
of the city participate to
greater or less degree; lawlessness
is rampant, and altogether condi-
tions are such as may excite
the gravest apprehension. The dis
orderly element in the city has been
largely recruited from New York and
other cities, and has, as is usual in
such cases, arrayed itself with the
strikers. a selfish advocacy of whose
cause affords a pretext for the perpe-
tration of graver crimes than have
yet marked the progress of the pend =
ing cOntes t.
