A Score of Men and Boys Are
Badly Stabbed.
SEVERAL MAY DIE.
Strikers Had Used Epithets and
Then Threw Stones.
The Soldiers Are Ready to
Shoot to Kill.

Cleveland, July 1S.-Yesterday was a
turbulent day in the vicinity of the
Brown company's works. A mob of
strikers hung about the works all the
afternoon, making ugly demonstrations
whenever struggling militiamen or po-
ncemen appeared.
In the evening when the non-union
men were taken from the works Cap
tain Zimmerman, with a company of
militia, cleared the street. Afterward
the soldiers returned to the works and
a crowd of 1000 men gathered in a va
cant lot across the street. They as
sailed the militiamen with vile epithets
and finally somebody suggested that
the soldiers be stoned. Captain Zim-
norman said he was waiting for the
stone throwing to begin. Just then
rock grazed his cap. Then the order
to charge was given and the soldiers
plunged forward.
The crowd broke and started to run,
but all could not get away from the
soldiers. At least a dozen men We're
bayOneted and some of them were
seriously hurt. The injured were hus-
tied away so quickly that it was i'm
possible to learn the names of any of
them.
At o'clock a militiaman returning
to his home was attacked on Hamilton
street by a mob of four or five thous-
and men. The soldier had only his
side arms and ran into a grocery store
to escape The crowd threatened to
tear down the building and he came
out. Special Policeman Owen Murphy
appeared and started to escort the
militiaman to a patrol box, that police
assistance might be summoned but the
mob encompased them and attacked
them with stones, sticks and fists.
Meanwhile word of the trouble had
been sent to the militia at the Brown
works and company F fastened to the
rescue. At double-quick, with rifles
at charge bayonets, they rushed at the
crowd, clearing the street speedily. A
number of men and boys were sta bbed
with bayonets, but only two seriously,
Thomas Clarity of Oxford street and
Thomas McGlarvey of st. Clair street.
They were wounded in the back and
McGlarvey may die.
In the excitement the lone militiaman
slipped away, and though doubtless in
jured is probably not seriously hurt.
Murphy. however, was so badly beaten
that his recovery is in doubt. Martial
law will be enforced in the district
which is disturbed from now on, and
any serious menace to the militia is
likely to be met with extreme meas
Gres. The soldiers are in the temper
to use lead

Spiritualism and Theosophy Freely
Discussed.


Discussed.
Lilydale. N. Y, July 17.-''What do [
think of spiritualism? Poof! don't be-
lieve word of it as a religion, or as a
truth to swear by
Thus spoke Col. Robert G. Ingersoll.
He was here to deliver his well known
lecture on Liberty, Man, Woman and
Child The lecture decided on was
calculated to please the great number
of SpiritualiStS and general attendance
expected from the conservative towns
about here.
But there are several good things
about the Spiritualists," he continued,
with the eye twinkle habitual with him
when pleased with any particular sub
ject. First, they are not bigoted- Sec
ond, they do not believe in salvation by
faith. Third, they don't expect to be
was good in this. Fourth, they do not
preach the. consolation of hell. Fifth,
they do not believe in God as an infin-
tie monster. Sixth, the SpiritualiStS
believe in an intellectual hospitality.
In these respects they differ from our
Christian brethren, and in these re-
spects they are far superior to the
What do you think of theosophy,
Colonel?"
All replied Ingersoll st can illus
trate that with a story which will ex-
actly answer the question. There was
man out in India who was preaching
to a few Hindoos on the street. He said
nothing is real; all is illusion. At that
point a man rode up on an elephant
and guided it to run over the speaker.
Thereupon the speaker ran away and
the people laughed. Then the speaker
came back, and the crowd said: How
do you explain your conduct so it will
agree with your principles?' And then
the speaker replied: Friends. there
was no elephant. I did not run away.
You did not Taught did not come back.
I am not explaining this now. 1t is all
an Illusion According to my idea that
man was a theosophist," concluded the
colonel

Is NOT SUPERSTITIOUS.
Mckinley Made a Member of the
Thirtaen Club

New York, July 18.-William McKin-
ley, Republican nominee for president,
is an honorary member of the Thirteen
club. He begins the campaign by set
ting at defiance all prevailing supersti-
tions.
j. r. Abarbanell, archivist of the
Thirteen club, notified him June 29 that
he had been elected an honorary mem
Der. All that was necessary to com
plete his membership was his accept
ance of this honor. 1t has been ac-
cepted. AS the Thirteen club has com
pleted its thirteenth year of its incOr-
poratiOn for the purpose of defying all
ancient and modern superstitions by
persistently doing the things which are
supposed to bring i'll luck Major Nc
Kinley has deliberately put himself on
record as being above and free from all
such SuperstitiOnS.
He begins his mem bership by writ
ing his letter of acceptance on Fri
day which came on July 8. and will
join twelve other members of the club
at a dinner whenever he happens to
be in the city.

SHE WAS HIS EQUAL.
Mrs. Cougar Compares Her Form
With the Rev. T. Dixon.

New York. July 1S.-There was a de-
bate yesterday afternoon between Mrs.
Helen NJ. Cougar the noted PrOhibi-
zionist and WOman's rights leader of
Indiana, and the Rev. Thomas Dixon of
this city, at Prohibition park Staten
Island. There was a crowd of about1,
200 people present.
DR. Dixon advanced the argument
that women were not physically strong
enough to take part in Hfe'S battles
and to stand the strain of voting.
Mrs. Cougar made a reply to this.
She is a heavily built woman of good
presence. While she was speaking she
referred to the argument made by her
adversary and then stopped. She look
ed herself over carefully, turned and
carefully surveyed the attenuated and
ed and shook her head The audience
saw the point and cheered and laughed
for some time. DR.. Dixon laughed with
the rest.

ALTGELD'S CAMPAIGN.
The Governor Bewails the Absence of
a Fund.

Springfield. Ill, July 18-"Governor
what capitalist is contributing S10O, 900
to your campaign this year?' was
the query put to Governor Altge1d to-
day.
Nonsense, nonsense" and the exec
utive sank YEARLY into a hard chair.
Nobody has contributed 100000 or so
cents to my campaign fund. I only
wish it were true. Goodness knows
need it badly enough. 1 don't know
where I am going to get money for my
travelling expenses during the cam
paign this year"
VIII you open the campaign soon %
20, no, not soon. I have not deter
mined that matter. do know that I
will not make the campaign I did four
years ago. My friends are not ex-
pecting it, and it would be a physical
impossibility if they did"
Then, refiectively continuing the first
thought, he said:
so they say some rich friend has
pledged my campaign expenses to the
extent of $1O0, 900! Too bad it is not
true, but nobody has rendered me a
cent, not a cent"

The Water Near the Shore White
With Fish.

been the largest school of white hake
ever seen in the bay before in years,
just off the shore of Tiburon-
In the morning" said Capt. White
of the ferry steamer TiburOn, the wa
ter near the shore is white with fish
There must be millions of them. Men
wade out into the shallow water and
throw the fish onto the beach simply
with their hands.
They herd them as though they
were cattle. Our Waterman went out
this morning and came back inside of
q half hour with string of 20 of them.
They are a large fish nearly two feet
long, and make a very good table food.
This is the first time in many years
that I have seen such large numbers
in the bay since have been on this
coast"

SMITH FOR THE TICKET.
The New Jersey Senator Says Nc
Kinley's Election Would be
Calamity.

New York July 1S.-Before sailing
yesterday for Europe Senator Smith of
New Jersey wrote a letter to Colonel
Z. L. Price, chairman of the Demo-
cratic county committee of Essex coun-
ty, New Jersey, delegating to the lat
ter authority to act for him in his alb
sence. In this letter Senator Smith
says:
while there may be some difference
of opinion in our ranks on the financial
question, I do not believe we are more
unfortunate in this respect than our
opponents. In my judgment neither
the business men, the wage-workers of
the country nor the Republican party
itself has much confidence in McKin-
ley. His position as a financier is
shifting and uncertain. His tariff
views are destructive, if enforced, to
national prosperity, and have twice
been overwhelmingly repudiated.
He was nominated by a financial
syndicate and not in response to any
popular demand. His election would
be a calamity. We must stand to-
gether for the election of a Democratic
house of representatives. and we must
invest that body with the power to
check whatever destructive views
might be entertained by the Republi-
can nominee for president, if such a
misfortune as his election should hap
pen."

DIR. W. H. GribbIe, delegate to the
Popuilst national convention, said to
q correspondent today:
I am emphatically opposed to the
Populist convention indOrsing the NOM
inees of the Democratic party. Such
course would mark the complete an
inhalation of the Populist party which
is two million strong in the United
States. The question of free coinage of
silver is insignificant as compared with
some of the other principles of the
POpulist party. I think the Ohio dele
cation will oppose the Endorsement of

ventiOn will nominate a straight out
ticket of its own. Personally, favor

feeling has developed in the Holy

sermon last Sunday of Rev. E. F. Ach-

Democrat. He electrified his congre-

words: THE present time calls for all
patriots to unite to prevent the further
coinage of fifty-cent dollars or the
placing of a boy in the chair occupied
by Washington, Lincoln and Garfield
Some of the members object to poll
tics being brought into the pulpit al
