A POLITICAL RIOT.
Disgraceful Scene at the Club Ma
cional Headquarters Yesterday.

A most disgraceful riot took place
yesterday afternoon in front Of the
headquarters Of Club Nacional, at
the corner of West Commerce and
East street. Aparty Of young men
wear Elmendorf colors passed there
about $3.50 o'clock, when a shout
Of "Viva Callaghan ~ went up from
about 500 Mexican Threats. The
Elmendorf people did not let that
disturb them and occasionally
yelling "Hurrah for Elmendorf ~
The Callaghan crowd, not being
contented to have the matter pass
off peaceably, surrounded the Ell.
mendOrf "rooters," and it looked as
II they tried to mob them. The
street and sidewalks were blocked
and Officer Inman, who was sta
toned on duty at that place, tried
to dispense the crowd. In the at
tempt, a Mexican struck him over
the head with stick and imme-
diately the officer was attacked
by crowd of Mexicans. Special
Officer Green, who was also around
there, ran to Inman's assistance,
and after hard struggle Inman
was liberated and the Mexicans
were forced back, but not until the
officer brought his club into play
and showed that he meant bust
ness. One Mexican made a lunge
at Inman with a knife, but his arm
was grasped by Officer Hardy be-
fore his Intentions were executed.
During the fever heat Of this riot
a funeral passed, but the Mexicans
seemed to have no respect for the
dead, and kept up their wild In
dian-like whoops and yells.
A telephone message was sent to
the police station for assistance
and Captain Druse and Mounted
Officer Coy responded. The howl
ing had somewhat subsidized by
that time. Captain Coy talked
to the crowd in Mexican
and ordered them all to 60 up
stairs in their room, the Club Ma.
cional. They rushed up in a drove
and the door was locked to prevent
them from coming down again.
The Club Nacional headquarters
are located on the second floor OF
the Wolfson building, and during
the excitement crowd rus he'd up
on the roof of the gallery. The
iron braces which support the gal
lery gave way, and it looked as
if the roof would fall every
second on the hundreds of people
below, but this was fortunately
averted by the crowd being ordered
off the roof.
A few moments later Bryan Cal
laghan, Perry Lewis and others
came up in carriages. They raised
their hats and bowed to the Next
cans as they passed the Club Ma
cional headquarters and the Mexi-
cans yelled like wild Comanches
in response. A large number of Ell
mendOrferS was present, but they
did not make themselves heard.
A reporter for the LIGHT was
around taking up items with in
structiOns to report the proceed
ings regardless as to who the wrong
doors may be, Callaghan or Elmen-
dOrf followers, and the above is a
true and unprecedented report.
John Bailey, better known as
"Black Sullivan" meandered to-
wards East street and took his
stand in front of Bob Marks
place, at the corner Of Laredo
street. Here he opened up
and told the people what he knows
about the election. He soon had a
crowd around him, and it was sur
prising to see such large numbers
Of the wearers Of the red around in
such short time.

HE SUFFERED FROM INSOMNIA.
Joseph Schreck's Body Found In the
Canal Near Military Park.

The body of Joseph Schreck, a cabinet
maker. who lived at No. 16 Brookside
avenue. was found floating in the canal
west OF Military Park yesterday morning,
about 3 o'clock, by some men going to
work. The police and coroner were noti-
fed and the body was taken 10 Whitsett's
Undertaking establishment where it lay
without being identified until after noon.
There was nothing about the body to
indicate that Schreck had met with foul
play and there was no indication that
robbery had been committed. 1t remains
unknown whether Schceck committed sui
eide, accidentally fell into the water or
was thrown in. In the right hand Of the
dead man was clutched a cane.
He left home Thursday night, about 10
o'clock, but nothing was thought of the
circumstance. for he suffered with insomnia
and frequently spent the nights in walk
ing. The body was found several miles
from his home, which seems to indicate
that he walked toward the canal with n
purpose. His friends say he has been suf-
ferlng recently for want of sleep. Schreck
was about fifty years OF age and a man of
good character. He leaves three daughters.

BROKE PLATE GLASS
BICYCLIsT HACKER TAKES A
RATHER DANGEROUS HEADER.
Rides mt High Speed Into a West
Market-Street saloon, but Es-
capes Serious Injury.

Such a header from a bicycle as that
taken last night by Grant Hacker has
never before been witnessed in this city,
and it is indeed surprising that Hacker es-
capped with slight injuries. While riding at
full speed he dashed through the plate
glass window of the old Howe saloon, on
West Market street, and bounded twelve
feet or more back in the barroom.
Hacker is employed by the gas companies
as an emergency man, whose duty it is to
attend all confiagrations in the city and
shut off the gas in the buildings that are
threatened, so as to prevent further de-
struction and danger from explosions.
About 9 o'clock al alarm came in from the
box at Ohio and Illinois streets, and, mount
ing his wheel, Hacker set off at a scorching
gait for the locality Of the fire. AS he
turned into Market street from Monument
place he was going at a speed OF about
twenty miles an hour, so spectators say.
asphalt. At the first alley west of Illinois
a vehicle approached from the west and SO
crowded the bieyclist to the curb as he
bars in order to turn up the alley north
ward to save himself from a collision.
Either his speed was too great or his han.
die bar slipped, as he insists, for instead OF
wheeling into the alley the bicycle bounced
on to the cement walk in front of the sa-
loon and a second later crashed into the
large plate-glass.
A crowd of men were busy inside getting
the interior Of the saloon into shape for a
new tenant, and when a bulky form was
hurled into the midst OF them, a colored
man shouted:
"Fo' the love of Moses. Help"
Hacker bore the resemblance of a frost
king, for the particles of glass were glisten-
ing on his garments, and some of the glass
had buried itself in his face and hands. One
piece was taken out of the back of his head.
He was taken to the City Dispensary,
where a deep cut in his left hand was
sewed up and attention given to his other
injuries, which were slight.
The plate-glass was completely shattered.
but, ~singularly enough, the wheel which
Hacker. was riding escaped with hardly a
scratch. Hacker was afterward arrested
on a charge of malicious trespass, but was
released on his W recogniZance.

A DECISION AS TO CANALS.
One in Ohio Supreme Court That May
Have u Local Effect.

The city of Cincinnati recently won a suit
in the Supreme Court OF Ohio which may
have some local effect. For years the Penn
sylvania Company has occupied land in
Cincinnati that was formerly occupied by
a canal and recently a suit was brought
to test its right TO the possession Of the
land. The court held that land held by
grant for a canal reverted to the State
when it was no longer used for canal pur-
poses. The condemnation of the canal in
this city would allow its bed TO revert TO
the State. The Water Company claims the
canal as it's property, while the Big Four
Railroad Company claims a certain amount
Of the bank and certain rights in Missouri
street, where the canal formerly was. If
the Indiana Supreme Court should look at
the matter In the same light as the Ohio
court it would place a large amount of
property in the city under the control of
the State and give the city another means
of dealing with the railroad problem.

the name of only one county marked on

velopes had been opened. Ii had not been
discovered that one of them contained two

A NAIL CARRIERS CENSUS.
Number of indianapolis People Who
Receive Mail to BE determined.

Next Monday the mail carriers will begin
taking a census of the people in the city
that receive mail. 1t will require about ten
days TO complete the work, as the carriers
will be compelled to do this extra work
within the regular eight hours service. so
as TO make no overtime. This will be mere
ly a census of the children and adults that
are regular recipients of mail. 1t is expect
ed that, from the showing OF the census,
the carriers force will be increased.
An order has been issued by the Postoffice
Department prohibiting substitute carriers
from making overtime. BY a recent ruling
they are entitled to pay at the rate of eight
hours a day. and come under the same rules
in regard to overtime as the regular car
riers.
The carriers begin taking their vacations
in July, and then II will require sixteen SUBJ
stitutes. The plan of having the substitutes
deliver all special delivery letters is being
considered, and, If approved by the depart
ment, will be adopted.

had notified the company that it's original
offer to collect garbage for $12, 900 a year

the company would collect the garbage for
$40, 000, but would prefer that the contract
