AFTERMATH.

The Fourth Legislative session has
passed over to the silent majority.
The work accomplished by it in vol
ume is bulky and will keep printing
presses busy grinding out the new stat
utes for some time to come. Whether
the quality in ~finencss is a stand-off for
the quantity in bulk is "a matter that
time and people. whom the new laws eff
feet, will decide.
The codes were adopted too late in
the session, in our opinion. The limit
ed time allowed for matters amendato-
ny handicapped necessary changes. and
curtailed full and deliberate discussion.
Immediately after the passage of the
codes amendments of all sorts and con-
ditions were introduced. until the ca
pacious NAV of the legislative mill had
more than it could masticate. 1t bit
off more than it could chew.
What is done is done-the assembly
is dead unless the governor chooses to
~resulrect it in special session. From
next July. when the codes 90 into eff
feet, until the next Legislative assemb-
ly meets. we will have lSmonths in
which to put the codes to practical
test. Then we will know where we are
at" and can tighten the legal screws in
the necessary places and unscrew them
in places where they bind. to our en-
tire satisfaction.
Madison county Jared we'll at the
hands of the Fourth legislative as
sembly. In future sessions she will
have four votes-three representatives
and a senator. Nor is this all-the
law makers put a Quietus on Alder
sons bill to annex Il portion of Madison
county to Gallatin.
The orphans home received a uen-
erous appropriation of something like
S22, 600, including the deficiency bill.
And there are many other Legislative
favors concering which we will have
something to say later.
10 Senator Metzel. Representatives
lsdel and Rossiter. the electors of this
county W a debt of gratitude. They
were untiring in their efforts for the
benefit of their constituents. Senator
Metzel introduced the bill a%ppropri-
ating ample funds for the orphans
home. Representative Rossiter made
a fight for its passage in the house as
did also Representative Isdell, and the
latter gave back the lie to those who
We're unkind enough to ~insinuate that
he favored the bill to divide Madison
county, by making the fight of the ses-
sion against it. On all measures that
were at all befcial to the people of
Madison county Il delegation was a
unit Of strength that forced considera-
ton. They did their duty and thew
did it well and the MADIsON1AN is
proud of them.

RIOTS TN CHLCAGO.

Strikers Fired Upon by Policemen--SeveraI of Them Badly Wounded.
 Chicago May 8.--Four policemen were injured and one striker fatally shot in a riot of Illinois Steel company strikers at South Chicago to-day. The riot fol- lowed big mass meeting of the strik- CTS held in Eighty-fourth street. About 800 men were present, and the speeches became so violent and the men so dem onstrative that the leaders forced an adjournment.
 The crowd would not disperse, how ever, and a riot call brought detail of fifteen police officers, headed by Lieu tenant Wagner to the scene. The po- lice ordered the crowd to disperse, but the order was met with hoots and threats, the women among the strikers daring the officers to shoot.
 The policemen finally charged with drawn revolvers, and were met with a volley of stones and slag, 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 strile- CTS fled, four of the leaders being ar rested.
 The wounded are: John Wilnoski, striker, shot through the head, will die; Lieutenant Wagner head cut by stones; Officers Martin Protty, oiubbed into in- sensibility; John McCaffrey, badly bruised, and William Walsh, head bad ly cut by stones None of the policemen is thought to be fatally hurt.
 After the shooting the rioters gather ed in groups about the steel works threatening vengeance, and more trou- ble was expected by the police The mills were kept under police protection and the oompany's store of dynamite was heavily guarded all day.

TYPHOID rnVER EPIDEMIo.
Twenty-three Cqses in New Milford Cause
 Exuitement.

New Milford, May s--An epidemic of typhoid fever which has broken out in this town is causing considerable excitement among the residents of the place. Up 60 this evening the full nnm- Der of cases reported to the health officer was twenty-three. There are three teachers and two pupils i'll with the typhoid at the "Ingleside" school, a young ladies seminary conducted by Mrs. Black. It Is supposed that the epidemic was caused by infected milk supplied to the pupils at the seminary from farm owned by Mrs. Black,
 The first death resulting from typhoid fever was that of Burton A. White, the Yale junior, who died at the Yale infirmary in New Haven on Monday. White was here on furlough, having been suspended from the college for a short period. He was staying at the farm house of Levi Gilday here when he was suddenly taken down with the fever and was afterwards removed to the Yale inf1rmaty for treatment.
 When White was removed to New Haven there were eighteen cases of the typhoid in the town, but the num- Der has been on the increase ever since. Among the latest victims are Rev. F. B. Draper, the rector of the Church of All Saints of this place, who is an uncle of young White. Mrs. Draper. the wife of the clergyman, Is also down with the fever. The physician attend ing Rev. MT. Draper considers his con- diticn serious, One of the pupils at Mrs. Blacks school, Miss Lowe, who was among the first to be taken down with the fever, has left the school and gone to her home in Morristowu, N. J.
 The local health officer was to-day in communica ton with Dr. c. A. Iinds- ley of New Haven, secretary of the state board of health, regarding the epidemic. Dr. Lindsley has ordered that the milk from the Black faITns- not to be sold or used Those who have been taken down with the typhoid were customers of the farmer conducting the Black farm.

THEY TURNED OBSERVERS
4 CHANGE MADE IN THE SENA.
 TORIAL FIGHT IN DELAWARE.

Massey Men Went to PennewiI and some
 of Higgins Supporters Changed Their
 Votes in Favor of Henry Dupont, but
 Even Then There Was No One Elected
 It Wasa a Sensational Day.
 Dover, Del, May S.-The joint assem- bIy took forty-two ballots during to-day and this evening for United States sen- ator. and then shortly after o'clock to- night recess was taken until a. m. tomorrow. To-day's balloting resulted no more than has the balloting for the past several months in electing a sena- tor but the sensational incident of the day was the desertion from their lead CTS of the followers of Higgins and Ad- dicks.
 On the first ballot taken to-day the Massey men went to James Pennewill of Dover, and the Higgins men went to Henry A. Dupont of Newcastle county. This ballot resulted: Henry A. Dupont, rep, 6, J. Edward Addiclzs, rep, T. James Pennewill, rep. 2. Edward Ridge ly, dem., 8, D. W. Tunneil, dem, l. On
 
 the fifth ballot the Pennewill men, ex- cept Morgan, went to Dupont, making his vote 12. On the ninth the first de- sertion from Addicks occurred. MT, Mo ney cast his vote for Dupont, giving the Newcastle man IA votes and Addicks 5. At this point a recess was taken until o'clock in the afternoon. After the assembly reconvened and on the six teenth ballot all the Addicks ment went to William Dupont, a brother of Henry A. Dupont, and MT Money cast his vote for Higgins. This ballot showed as fol- lows:
 H. A. Dupont il, William Dupont 2. Higgins 1, Ridgely 9. Tunnel 1.
 There was very little change in this vote up to the twenty-ffrst ballot, when another recess was taken.
 When the assembly met this evening and the thirty-third ballot was taken the Higgins men cast their vote for Hi- ram H. Burton, and the ballot resulted as follows:
 Burton 8, William Dupont 10, H. A. Dupont i, Ridgely 9, TunneH l..
 After this nine ballots were taken with varying but small change, and the lsixty-second and last ballot taken to- night resulted as follows;
 William Dupont Ii, Burton 7, John w. Jols 1, Ridgely 9, Tunnel 1. Townsend voted for Representative Jolls. The hall was crowded throughout the day and this evening while the balloting was going on, and great excitement prevail led, as it seemed likely that an unex- pected change for senator might be made.

DENIED BY THE PRESIDENT
HE REFUSES TO ExQEND CLEAEENCY
 IN THE CHASE CASE.

In His Opinion He Says That the Crsrne Committed Was Most Detestable One and That the Libel Was Published Out of Pure Malice.
 Washington. May S.-On the 2sd of last March W. Calvin Chase, a promi- nent colored politician of Washington and editor of the Washington Bee. was convicted of criminal libel and sentenc- ed to ninety days Imprisonment. The complainant was c. H. J. Taylor. a, col ored democrat from Kansas. whom the president had appointed recorder of deeds of Washington.
 Application being made to the presi- dent to extend clemency, the following endorsement was placed on the papers. Denied"
 Tt i5 conceded that this convict naa- liciously published an outrageous libel in a newspaper which he controlled and used, In this instance at least, as dirty weapon to satisfy his personal rage and revenge. This crime is a. most detestable one. It has become so com mon and is so seldom punished that I cannot reconcile executive clenlency in the case here presented with the duty owe to decent Journalism, the peace of society and the protection of those con stantly subjected to iibellous attack.

The last of MT. Parsons piano re- citals took place last evening. The hall was well filled. It was very fitting that the program should consist solely of Mr. Parsons own compositions. They are always graceful and meiodic and so varied in style that the long program was never monotonous. With the exceptions of the concerto they are all salon pieces and written to please rather than to excite. The concerto is of a more pretentfous order and is a charming work full of the spirit of 1cnight-errantry. It was played from nranuscript, Miss Gaffney. who sings better now than ever, was appropriate ly chosen to interpret MT. Parsons vocal efforts. The Awe Maria" is his latest work and was written expressly for Miss Gaffney- After the Prince of Peace" she was obliged to respond to an encore and sang Chadwicks up To Her Chamber Window" Willis Fl. Alling played the aecompaniments with his usual good taste. He played par- tictIlarly well the Arrangement of the orchestral score of the concerto. Mir. Parks play the cello obligato to one of the solos in MT, SteineFts stead.
