DR.. Parkhurst declares that the re.
formers labored under mistake when
they jubilated on November 6, and
that new enemies as greedy and as
wicked as Tammany have seized the
fruits of their victory. It is often
thus. The cry of reform" is means
of deluding patriots into the service
of scoundrels.-The Lerer.
Nothing else ought to be expected
when so-called reform movements fell
lowships and embraces the saloon
keepers in its ranks, as did the anti
Tammany movement in New York.

Bob Fitzsimmons ASsailed by
Jim Corbett and His
Crowd.
Lively Rumpus, but the Police
Interfered.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 10.-Bob
Fitzsimmons and James Corbett came to
blows in this city tonight at Green's
Hotel. Fitzsimmons had just come down
from the Winter Circus, where he had
been giving bag punching exhibition.
He was going over to the eating-bar to get
a luncheon with his boxing partner,
Thomas Forrest.
Corbett, his brother Joseph, W. A.
Brady and John McVey, a member of
Corbett's company, were standing near the
clerks desk at the end of the bar as Fitz-
simmons and Forrest passed in. The
Corbett party had been drinking. and in
spirit of bravado Corbett attempted to
pull Fitzsimmons' nose. The latter
backed away, but Corbett followed him up,
and finally Fitzsimmons resisted. In a
moment there was a general melee.
Brady picked up chair and attempted to
brain Fitzsimmons, and the latter threw
him to one side.
Corbett's brother then took a hand in the
game. He struck Fitzsimmons in the
mouth, cutting his lip. Forrest came 10
Fitzsimmons' assistance and he and Joseph
Corbett were tusseling about the place,
knocking chairs and tables to the right and
left. Meanwhile Corbett was trying to get
at Fitzsimmons and then McVey got into
the struggling crowd. Seeing the odds
against him, Fitzsimmons picked up
heavy water decanter and hurled it at
Brady and Joe Corbett. The flying bottle
went wide of It's mark and striking heavy
iron column was smashed to fragments. As
soon as they could recover from their aston
ishment the attaches of the place rushed
at the struggling crowd of excited pugilists
and attempted to separate them. But 1t
was a hard job, and a reserve force of
police were called in, and in few minutes
the men were separated.
Corbett and his party left the place.
Fitzsimmons sat down to have his lunch
con, but be was too excited to enjoy it,
and after partaking of a small portion of
it he gave up the attempt and went out
for walk. His clothes were somewhat
disarranged and his shirt torn. One of
his hands was bleeding, and it looked as it
had been cut with a penknife or some
other small weapon, although the wound
might have been made by piece OF glass
from the broken decanter. No arrests
were made.

DODGED THE WARSHIPS.
BY Burning Hard Coal and
Hiding Lights the Vessel
Made the Trip.
HAD MANY NARROW ESCAPES.
After Landing Forces to Fight the
Spanish the Vessel Sped to
Mexico.

BALTIMORE, Md, Aug. 10-An Amer
ican seaman is responsible for the state
ment that the American steamer James
Woodall, which sailed from this port on
July 10, ostensibly for Progreso, Mexico,
successfully ran the blockade of the rev.
enue cutters and warships and landed men
and ammunition on Cuban shores in the
interest of the Cuban insurgents. Five
seamen of the Woodall were discharged in
New Orleans few days ago and arrived
In Baltimore to-day. One of the number,
who does not wish his name mentioned
for obvious reasons, stated to-day that the
Woodall landed 153 men and a large
quantity of dynamite, rifles, revolvers and
ammunition near Havana, Cuba, which
were taken aboard off Florida. His state
ment is as follows:
"The steamer burned hard coal on her
run down the American coast, making it
impossible for Spanish man of-war to see
her smoke at a distance. At night she
burned no lights, the side, head and
a shade put over the compass light. The
crew were informed that the steamer was
to take lot of plantation laborers from
Florida to Mexico. but we did not believe
this, as she had taken 1000 worth of pro-
visions and 125 tons OF hard coal aboard at
Baltimore.
at soon developed that Two of the crew
shipped in Baltimore as common seamen
were Generals Roloff and Sinchez of the
Cuban revolutionists. We heard that at a
meeting of Cubans in New York $25, 900
had been raised to purchase and equip the
steamer and that Captain Hudson would
receive the vessel as gift, after the expe-
dition was over, for his services. While
near Cuban waters and steaming ahead
with no lights visible a Spanish man-of-
war crossed our bows, going toward an
otherwessel, whose lights we saw in the
distance. Had we been five minutes
earlier or had our lights been showing the
Spaniard would have caught US.
Instead OF going to Progreso the
steamer anchored during the night at
Panquery. which is not far from Key
West, off the southern extremity of
Florida. There was nothing at Panquery
but one solitary house. We took aboard
from the house in the ships boats and
from schooner which had sailed from
Key West and came alongside the Wood
all, 153 men. The ammunition brought
aboard amounted to 600 pounds of dyna-
mite, 600 Remington rifles, 200 six-cham-
bered revolve1s, 200 cutlasses and 253, 900
rounds of ammunition. The men came
from New York, having left that city for
Florida about the time the Woodall left
Baltimore.
"The arms and ammunition were rusty,
evidently having been thrown overheard
by filibusters to escape capture. They
were packed in unmarked tins, bags and
boxes. The 153 men did not seem to be
ordinary soldiers, but Cuban officers and
gentlemen of refinement and education.
Captain Hudson seemed afraid to land
on Cuban soil and ran his vessel back and
forth along the island for ten days, until

CAUSED A SMALL RIOT.
Substitution of Italians for
Americans on Grading at
ArmOurdale.
Sons OF the Sunny South Stoned
and Otherwise Injured on the
Banks of the kaW.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 10.-The
substitution of Italian labor for that of
American on the job of grading in Ar
mourdale was the incentive for small
sized riot to-day. Shortly after the dinner
hour twenty four sons of Sunny Italy were
basking in the sunshine on the banks of
the Kaw, near the Fifth-street bridge, close
to where the work is in progress, when
they were surprised by dozen or more of
the Americans whom they had displaced at
cheaper wages.
The foreigners were upbraided for work
ing for lower wages, and while words were
being exchanged some one threw stone
into their ranks. Other missiles came fast
and furious, and the Italians scenting dan
ger took to their heels. Several were over
taken by the pursuing party and were
more or less roughly handled.
Marcho Lorenzo was cut over the eye,
John Leverdino was bruised about his
head and Frank Gravatino had his right
hand disabled.
News of the assault was sent to the Cen
tral police station in this city and the
James-street station in Kansas City,
Kans, and No. 3 station in Armourdale.
Details of police were sent out. William
Edwards, G. w. Walker and A. III. Godde,
living along the banks of the Kaw, and
who were known to be among the dis
charged employees, were found and locked
up to wait hearing tomorrow.
The Italians were badly frightened, and
after the attack refused to go to work.
Further trouble is expected Monday.

THE CHAMBER OF DEATH.
1t Was Modelled From the
Writer'S Description in
"Armadale."
OTHER BOOKS WERE USEFUL.
Plans for Substituting Corpses for
the Living Not New Thing
by Any Means.

CLEVELAND, OHIO, Aug. 10.-A Cleve-
land man has discovered what he considers
proof positive that Holmes, the wholesale
murderer, conceived his ideas of his meth
DDS of committing crime from reading
Wilkie Collins novels.
1t will be remembered that in the closet
in the room of the second floor of Holmes
castle was found a gas pipe running over
the floor. This pipe ran to the windowless
room where Mrs. Connors is supposed to
have been murdered. This pipes exist
ence was a secret. There were no gas jets
in the room, only the open ends of the
pipe sticking out of the wall. The cutoff
is believed to be one of Holmes instru-
ments of death. Sitting in his room he
could turn on the current with ease that
would fill the dark sleeping apartment be-
yond the hall and bathroom with deadly
gas, asphyxiating the occupants.
Readers of Wilkie Collins ''Armadale"
will remember the room "No. 4" in the
sanitarium of the doctor who figures in
the story. The room is described in the
story as being without a fireplace and
having door capable of manipulation
from the outside by the pressing of a but
ton. The doctor, in describing what might
be done in the room, is made to say in the
story:
Collect gas and convey it into closed
chamber and let Samson himself be in
that closed chamber and our stout friend
(meaning liquid for making gas) will
kill him in half an hour; will kill him
slowly without him seeing anything; with
out his smelling anything; without his
feeling anything but sleepiness; will kill
him and tell the whole college of surgeons
nothing, if they examine him after death,
but that he died of apoplexy and conges-
tion of the lungs"
On another point readers of Collins will
remember that in two of his novels the
substitution of q corpse for living person
figured after the manner of the Pietzel-
Perry affair. In "Blind Love-" Oxbye,
the Dane, is buried as Lord Harry Nor
land in order that Lord Harry and DR..
Vimpany, his friend, may secure $4,000 in
surance money.
In 1.-THE Woman in White" Anne Cath
erick is buried as Lady Percivel Clyde,
while Lady CLYDE is incarcerated in an in
sane asylum in order that her husband
may inherit her fortune.
The CIevelander who hit upon Collins
parallel is retired merchant.

closed the fact that he advised her as to
choice of Cabinet upon her restoration. -
Mr.. Hatch also spoke in high terms of the
course taken by Major Hawes, the present
British Commissioner, who has never
visited the ex-Queen nor sought any inter
course with her, and whose dealings with
the Government have been entirely courte-
Gus and reasonable.
In reply to question, Mr.. Hatch ad-
mitted that an open letter of Mrs.
Wodehouse to the ex-Queen had been re-
turned to the writer because it was ad-
dressed to "Her Majesty" The denial of
intercourse in the case of the British Min
lister IS an exception to very considerable
degree OF the freedom usually allowed to

the water in fifteen barrels gave out. For
a fresh supply he touched at small island
off the Mexican coast, and during the day
we lay there we were photographed for the
information of the Spaniards. Shortly
after we left the island Spanish warship
put in there to search for us. After this
Captain Hudson steamed direct for Cuba,
and dropped anchor about II O'Clock at
night off village forty-five miles from
Havana. Disseminating began immedl-
ately. Every man was armed with rifle,
cutlass and many rounds OF ammuni-
ton. The steamers three boats. one OF
which held forty men. carried the 153 men
and the ammunition from the steamer to
the shore. All had been landed by A. NJ.
when the Woodall steamed away in the
darkness for Progreso.
alt was learned aboard the steamer later
that the 153 men who had been landed
blew up railroad and captured the village
and 400 Spaniards. We had not gone far
toward Progreso when the Woodall struck
on a coral reef We were aground
about an hour when Spanish gunboat
and a steam launch were seen coming
toward US. We crowded on all steam and
broke through the reef, damaging our ves-
sci, but escaped by the aid of darkness and
our superior speed.
"When we arrived at Progreso we were
twice searched by the Mexican authorities,
but they found nothing. They also tried
Captain Hudson by court-martial for al
legged irregularities in entering and leaving
the island where the water was obtained.
The man who photographed the steamer
there was summoned as witness, but he
could not identity the captain and the lat
ter was dismissed.
after the trial the crew wanted to get
ashore and leave, not liking their expert
ences, and were on the point of mutiny.
Captain Hudson uncovered his gray head,
and begged them to stand by him and
they consented The vessel left Progreso
for New Orleans to have the damages re-
paired which she sustained on the coral
reef, arriving August l. Coming from
fever port, she lay in quarantine for three
days. The crew was discharged at that
port and left for Baltimore. At that time
Captain Hudson was i'll"

.LOCKPORT'S SEVERE LOSS,
Fire Destroys Many Buildings
in the Thriving Illinois
Town.
Among the Structures Laid In Ashes
Was the City Hall and
Postofflce.

LOCKPORT, I'LL, Aug. 10.-This town
of 800 people on the drainage canal, five
miles from Joliet, had narrow escape
from destruction by flames to-day. The
loss is probably $250,00O. Two engines and
two hose carts, which were sent by the
Chicago fire department at noon in re-
sponse to the urgent appeal for help, a
chemical engine from Joliet and the only
engine which Lemont could send to the
scene of the confagration, saved the town
from being in ashes tonight. The Lock-
port fire-fighting apparatus and the water
facilities were totally inadequate to sub
due the flames when they had gained con-
siderable headway.
Half of the business buildings were con-
sumed The City Hall and records, the
postoffice and contents, the Chicago and
Alton Railroad depot and freighthouse
and Telephone Exchange were among the
structures burned.
The fire started at 1880 o'clock in the
Phoenix newspaper and printing building
owned by Mayor Mcdonald, who is the
editor of the paper. A timer on the roof
dropped fire-box. At 3:15 the fighting
forces had the blaze under control. With
the exception of one store whole block of
the best business places on Ninth, Tenth,
State and Hamilton streets were burned to
the ground buildings in all.
The insurance is about two-thirds. Two
men were hurt by falling walls. Harry
Dosse broke his arm and was badly bruised
and Lowell Sillman was struck on the head
by bricks. Both of them were fremen.
The largest individual loss is in the
burning of the schoolhouse, which cost
$4,000. The flames spread so fast that the
postoffice employees had to flee for their
lives without saving anything. Opposite
the fire and separated only by narrow
canal was Norton's fiourmill, employing
700 persons, and one of the main supports
of the town. 1t was not touched.

TANGLED BIZ A TRAIN.
An Unfortunate Woman Ktlled White
Trying to Sare Her Child.

An Unfortunate Woman Killed Hhite
Trying to Sare Her Child.
TOLEDO, ONO. Aug. 10.-At crossing
of the Cincinnati, Jackson and Mackinaw
Railroad in the northern part of the city
late this afternoon an incoming passenger
train going at high rate of speed ran
down a young woman and her three
children. The mother was instantly killed
and her 3-year-old daughter so badly in
iured that she lived but a short time alter
the accident. The dead: Mrs. Mary
Pauley, aged 25, wife of the watchman OF
the Buckeye brewery; Irene Pauley, aged 3
years.
Just as the train was upon them the
little child stepped over between the rails.
and the mother, seeing its danger, went
after it, but was too late. The train struck
them both just as the mother was leaning
over to pick up the baby. Mrs. Pauley
was horribly mangled. The little child
suffered fracture of the skull and of the
bones of one of its legs.
