arctic habit was taken from the Ray
mond street Jail, Brooklyn, to the insane
asylum at Flatbush on Monday a mems

for over year to smoke more than IL
hundred cigarettes daily, and latterly,
when his supply of cash ran low, he
rambled through the streets picking up
cast away butts. Both of his hands are
colored 10y nicotine. After he had been
deprived of cigarettes in Jail for several
days he became violent, and it was
found necessary to han1cuff him. 1t

said there are indications of paresis.

Forced TO Open His safe.

Pittsburg, Pa, Agril Two men
forced A c. w. Cain, boot and shoe
dealer, to open his safe and turn over
all of its contents, amounting to $500.
The merchant closed his store at Will
kinsburg, a suburb ot this city, last

him to open it. He was met by two
men, who held revolveIs to his head and
forced him to open the safe. They then
bound and gagged him and escaped

STATIsTICs gathered by the RGihray
Ige, show that &73 railroad companies
are now building or contemplate builds
ing soon 2O.547 miles of new road.
Compared with the less than 1000 built
last year, this showing speaks volumes
for the renewed confidence in the i'm
mediate future of railroads. OF the 90,
OuO additional miles now contemplated,
2,93S are either wholly or partly graded
or under contract. 1t Is reasonable to
suppose this will all be completed this
year, and enough more to bring the to-
tai up To 5000 miles. If normal finan-
ciaI conditions prevail soon there will
probably be total OF at least 5000
miles Of new track laid this year.

Hit Him With An Axe.

NJ. A. Monroe was arrested last
night on a charge OF assault to
murder A. +. Lowe with an axe
The case is being investigated by
the grand jury.
Mr.. Lowe is employed as ma
chinist in the Texas Steam laun.
dry, and takes his meals at Mrs.
Monroe's, at No. 120 Mackinson
street. 1t was last Monday night
that the trouble occurred. Mr.
Lowe, in company with Mrs
Monroe and her daughters
went to hear a free concert
on Avenue E Monday night, to
which Monroe seemed to have OBJ
jections. After the concert, when
the party returned home, Monroe
had an axe prepared, and made a
lunge at loves head. The latter
ducked and the axe struck him on
the hip. Monroe then dared Lowe
to come out into the street. Lowe
got his pistol and when he came
out Monroe had disappeared. Lowe
then surrendered himself to the
first policeman he met. He eX-
planned for what purpose he car
ried the pistol. He was taken to
the police station to await the ar
rival Of Captain Bennett. The
latter arrived about five o'clock
yesterday morning, and after
hearing the facts ordered Lowe re-
leased and advised him to swear
out an affidavit against Monroe,
which he did before Justice Jones.

Makes a Scene in the English
Commons Today.
LONDON, May S--There was an
exciting and unprecedented scene
in the Commons this afternoon.
Just as chief secretary for Ireland,
John Morley, had finished his,
speech, discussing the bill to repeal
the crimes act, O'Donovan Rosa
the we'll known Irish agitator from
New York, arose from seat in the
strangers gallery and exclaimed,
"Mr. Speaker, the assassin's
blow has been aimed at me
in this house and a stain
has been put on my name" Rossa's
screams were greeted with loud
shouts Of "order," and the sergeant
alarms summarily elected Rosa
from the house. A previous speak
er, it appears, had alluded in I'M
complimentary terms to Rosa and
it was this which caused him to
enter a protest from the gallery.

A. P A. CONVENTION.
There Are Three Factions to be An
nealed and Welded.

MIswAUKEE, Wis, May S.-The
seventh annual session of the SUI
preme council American Protective
association, began today in Liberty
Hall. The delegates number 400
and the greatest interest seems to
prevail. From what can be learned
OF the problems which are vex-
ing the delegates it is probable the
session will be very important
one. The order is now semi-politi.
cal and it exerted its influence in
the conventions and at the ballot
box. Some of its members favor
coalition with any Of the existing
political parties which will come
out and openly advocate the prin-
ciple Of the A.P.A. Another faction
would have a separate political
party on strictly A. P. A. plat
form. Still another wing of the
association favOrs publicity and
would do away with all secret
works. 1t is also limited the free
silver question may cut a figure
during the session. From this ii
will be seen that unless the leaders
are exceedingly judicious there
will be many breaches to repair.

carcerate him in an insane asylum.
This morning they met in a
building where both room. Bauss

him. He ran up stairs and return
ed with a musket loaded for at
least ten years past. Reaching the
lower floor Zimmerman shot him.
He fired the gun, which exploded,
tearing Bauss' hands badly. Zim-
norman received the full charge OF
slugs in the center Of his breast.
Bauss was wounded in the left

mass meeting the strikers held in

headed by Lieutenant Wagner, to
the scene. The police ordered the
crowd to disperse, but the order
was met with boots and threats,
the women among the strikers dar-
ing the officers to shoot.
The police finally charged, with
drawn revOlvers, and were met
with a volley OF stones and Stag.
Lieutenant Wagner and three Of
his men fell, and the other officers
opened fire, sending about twenty
five shots into the crowd. At the
beginning of the firing the strikers
fled, the four leaders being ar
rested.

New York's Police Bill Climbing

new DIX fOllCe Dill Sllm OlnR
ALBANY, n. v, May S.-The bill
for the reorganization Of the police
department of New York City,
reached the Senate today with a
certificate Of Mayor Strong's ap.
proval attached. In transmitting
the bill the mayor says it is &C.
cepted by the City of New York in
spite OF serious objections urged
against it. The principal reason
which influenced its acceptance is
given as follows: "There is I'M
questionally almost a universal
and sincere belief among the peo-
pie of the State outside OF this city
as well as part Of a large number
OF our citizens that the political
party unusually in the minority
here should have representation
in the police board, because that
board has 80 great a power of con-
troll over the elections and the fair
exercise Of that power is necessary
to prevent the votes of the people
in all parts Of the state for presi-
dent and governor from being null
lifted by fraud or intimidation

TENNESSEE
GOVERNORSHIP.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. IL
H. G.. Evans filed a lengthy and
specific answer to the petition
of Gov. Turney today. In ad-
dition to specifically denying
the allegations eff Turney, the
answer charges irregularities
and frauds in a number of coun-
ties to which Mr.. Evans had
made formal objections. The
answer charges that the pro-
ceedings instituted by the Leg
islature are unconstitutional
and reiterates the grounds set
forth in Mr.. Evans formal pro-
test heretofore made. The point
is also insisted upon that the
contest law is retroactive and
that the contestee is not allowed
to be heard in person or by
counsel, before the joint con-
vention, thus denying him a
right accorded him by the Con-
stitution. He insists that he
has been chosen Governor, and
that the contest law takes from
the people the right to choose
their Governor. The allegations
Of the petition of Gov. Turney
are taken up seriatim and the
answer denies that Turney re-
ceived the highest number of
votes. The constitutionality of
the poll tax law of 1892 is at
tackled, and it is denied that
the laws of the State were
systematically, deliberately and
Intentionally ignored in the pre-
cincts and counties as charged.
Proof is demanded upon all
the allegations of Turney's
petition and each county object
ed to by Mr.. Evans is take up
and specific matters of objection
charged and denies that Peter
Turney was defeated for Gov
ernor by election frauds.
The joint committee of in
vestigation met tonight and
organized by electing Senator
Caldwell chairman,
