Army rally Saturday by attacking in the

election Of President Cleveland az the
worst blunder in American history. The
speaker declared that by that election the
north lost all that II won during the war,
and made a vigorous attack upon Secre-
tary Hoke Smith. In concluding he de-
clared that the erection Of monuments to
Confederates. especially to Jefferson Davis,
should not be tolerated. The speaker was
hissed by portion of his audience. Gov

RIOT IN THE QUARRY REGIONS.
Strikers Attack a Sherifrs Posse and Use
Powder and Lead.


CLEVELAND, July 2.-The expected has
happened and the striking stone
quarrymen at the Berea quarries have
broken out in riot. Yesterday they at
tackled the sheriff's posse guarding the
men ut work, and at the same time their
wives attacked the workers, chasing them
from the quarries. The sheriff's men
drove off the rioters and the sheriff got re-
Inducements, and then called on the gov
ernor for troops.
In response to Sheriff Leek's request for
militia Governor Bushnell responded that
the sheriff must use his own Judgment,
and if unable to cope with the strikers
himself call out the militia he wanted in
the county Everything is quiet at Berea
and Westview now. The sheriff has $50
deputies under arms, fifty with Winches-
ter rifles. Company ID, o. n. G., at Berea,
is under arms, and company h. of this
city, has been ordered to stand in readi-
ness to move.
Four Polish strikers were wounded in
the melee at the quarries. Vincent Mas
chinski Is shot through the lungs and will
die. He is 3S years old and has a wife and
four children. Martin Rockowski was
wounded in the chin, and Joseph Wawa-
zonski and Anton Potok were slightly
wounded In the legs. The strikers have
sworn out warrants for the arrest of
Deputy Sheriff Smith and other deputies
charging them with shooting to kill.

TROUBLE OVER THE PLATFORM.
Gold Men Take Advantage of Disputes to
Secure q COmprolnise.

Gold Men Take Advantage of Disputes to
Secure a Compromise.
Considerable discord is developing among
created by candidates, and there Is also
dissension over the platform. Many Of
the leaders strongly favor single declara-
ton for free silver and the practical ig-
noring of all other questions. The tariff
question, especially, they desire to be
handled gingerly, lest IL drive from them
the free silver Repu blicans who are mod
crate protectionists. Others, on the other
hand, think there should be q regular
Democratic platform covering all the
pending issues Of the day.
Some even favor a radical tariff plank
The gold men, led by Whitney, profess to
he encouraged by the outlook. Having
failed TO make an impression on the solid
phalanxes of silver their purpose seems to
e TO stir up strife and take advantage Of
such dissensions as may develop. The
great advantage which they possess is
their compactness. 1--WE are well or
ganized force" said Don M. Dickinson,
1--WE are fighting an unorganized mob re-
solved on only one thing-a declaration for
the free coinage Of silver"
Such a declaration they cannot hope to
prevent, but they are now using an in
genious argument to secure compromise
on the platform and candidate. They tell
the leaders that If Democrat is placed on
a silver platform the silver Republicans
Of the west will abandon them and the
eastern Democracy will be destroyed, and
they be left high and dry with only silver
Democratic support and without the
sinews of war either from the east or west.
They tell them, therefore, that they are
confronted with the alternative of nomi-
mating Republican to get the support
and aid of the silver mine owners, or of
yielding TO the demand for a compromise
from the east, which latter event, they
argue, will keep the Democracy intact and
furnish all the campaign funds that are
needed. These advances are met with
firm but courteous refusal by some Of the
silver leaders, who simply reply that there
can be no compromise

SAW A RAILWAY COlll3lON.
Chicago Has IA Chance to Observe Street
er's Iniaue show.


CHICAGO, July 6.-"Streeter's original
railroad collision" took place Saturday at
Cicero at 4:51 p. III. While 1t lasted it
was exciting enough for the most jaded
nerves. Two locomotives, fairly vibrat-
ing under their steam pressures dashed
headlong at each other on a piece of level
track at more than race horse speed. For
few moments there was suspense, then
came dull roar, a leaping of iron giants
into the air, IA swirl of black and brown
dust, curtaining everything, burst of
Kissing steam-and all was over. This
unique spectacle a Chicago genius devised
to drive away ennui brought more than
10000 people to the canvas-walled oblOng
on the Ridgeland branch of the Chicago
and Northern Pacific.
The collision took place $50 feet from
the spectators and unlike the Columbus,
o.. show no one was hurt. When the 10.
comotives struck their forward trucks left
their pivots and flew forward, smashing
the cowcatchers between them. The
boilers fell to one side, forming an angle in
the space of which the trucks remained,
practically on the track. The body of one
tender, leaving its platform under u
freight car that telescoped it, slid up
around the boiler of its engine. The driv-
ing wheels of that engine remained true
to their fastenings and buried themselves
in the dirt on one side and projecting high
I'm the air on the other. Where the cab of
either engine went is one of the mysteries
of the collision.
The tender of the second engine turned
on it's side, met the freight car behind it
and the two formed an A, the iron and
wood of both being badly smashed. The
platform of the tender broke in two, and
the two trucks piled one upon the other
very neatly. Back of them truck OF the
freight car was stood on end. The cars
were arranged in zig-zag fashion, one
thrown TO the right, the next to the left,
the third to the right, aud in some cases
the side force broke the 6anges of the
wheels although 1t did not injure the
track at any point. All the cars except
second in the western train were badly
broken up

JUDGE LYNCH, THE INEVITABLE.
Mob Wants "A Hanging Bee, But the Militia
Vetoes the Idea.

Some one brought "A rope and the cry to
lynch him was raised. A few began to
pry at the windows of the office when Pa
trollman Gibbons, who was once a union
workman, addressed the mob and partly
quieted it. Two patrol wagon loads of po-
lice arrived and guard was posted in
front of the building Long before this
Mayor McKisson, Police Director Abbott,
Lieutenant Colonel Whitney (of the Fifth
regiment), and others were gathered for
consultation in the city hall. Word of the
critical condition of affairs was telephoned
to them from the Bishop Babcock office
and request made for militia
The mayor responded by ordering the
Cleveland City Guards and company + to
the scene of the riot. The guards arrived
first, just as the mob was preparing for
another effort to capture Saunders. As
the soldiers came down the street the mob
shrieked and howled and the guards were
compelled 10 open way for themselves
with leveled bayonets Several men and
boys were wounded slightly by the SOL
diers. The guards formed in front of the
office, and just then company was seen
alighting from street cars "A block away.
Amid n frenzy of excitement on the part
of the dense crowd patrol wagon was
backed to the door of the office and Saun.
ders was jerked into it and made TO lie on
the bottom.
The guards formed around 1t with bay
onets at charge and forced their way
down Hamilton street, part of the howl
ing mob surging along with them. To
heighten the excitement Detective Sprosty,
as warning, stood up in the patrol
wagon and shot his revolver into the air.
The wagon and the soldiers proceeded rap
idly until the crowd in front had thinned,
when the guard opened ranks and the
wagon sped on to the central police sta
ton at a run. Saunders, whose head Is
badly cut up and his body mass Of
bruises is a prisoner, charged with the
killing of Rcttger.
Company +, in command of Major
Liebich, marched to the center of the
crowd that remained behind. The SOL
diers were menaced and jeered Major
Liebich halted his men, drew his revolver
and declared that upon the slightest at
tempt at violence he would give the COM
mand to fire. After that the noise ceased
and the crowd scattered, the company re-
turning to quarters. The mayor has
caused proclamation declaring the riot
act to be in force to be posted in the neigh
borhood of the Brown works this morn
