turhance


London, May 3. - Adyices received
here from cities and towns throughout
the continent of Europe show that
there were small socialist and labor
meetings incident to May day, but
there was little suspension of work. in
spite of the apprehensions which have
been felt that the day would be char
acterized by widespread labor disturb
ance There was no disorder what
ever. except in Vienna, and at Bilbao.
In Vienna alb work was entirely sus-
pended and meetings of laborers were
held in every quarter of the city and
were very largely attended. These
meetings adopted resolutions in favor
of universal suffrage.
AT 2 o'clock in the afternoon enor-
nous crowds proceeded along the
Ringstrausse to the Prater, where the
cafes and restaurants were crammed
full of people. The numbers were es-
timated at 10000 people. Notwith-
standing the vast concourse all was
quiet till dispute arose between some
Bohemian wOrkmen and the landlord
of big Swoboda restaurant. The
WOrkmen became Infatuated and
smashed everything in the restaurant.
A fierce fight ensued with the mounted
and foot police. Numbers of people,
including women and children, were
seriously wounded by sabers and the
head of one person was cut off. Many
of the police were badly injured, in
Guiding three inspectors, by stones,
beer jugs and whatever else the riot
ers could lay hold of or use as mis-
SHES The military was summoned by
telephone and two squadrons of lane
ers with drawn sabers galloped to the
Prater, followed by four battalions~ Of
infantry, who fastened to the scene
at double-quick. with fixed bayonets.
The intense excitement was caused
throughout the city by rioting and by
vague fears of widespread outbreak,
Fifty arrests were made and ninety
persons injured were taken to the hos
pital, while large numbers Of those
who were hurt were carried to their
homes by friends. Order was finally
restored.
At Bilbao. in Spain, 1900 miners
from Gallerta and Arboleda districts
struck and became rioters, SO that the
gendearmes were obliged to fire upon
them.

JACKsON's TRIAL.
Attempt to Prove That the Murder
Was Committed in Cincinnati.

Was Committed in Cincinnati
Newport, Ky, May 3.-The proceed
ingS in the trial of Scott jackson were
less exciting that those of yesterday,
vet the interest in it did not abate.
The court house corridors and neigh
boring streets were crowded with peO-
pie. There were fifty women in the
court room. Morning, noon and night,
as the prisoner passes between the
court room and the jail throngs, most
" women and children, gather to
catch a glimpse of him. There were
nearly 200 in the crowd to-day, includ-
ing half a dozen infants in baby wag
ons, a lot of bareheaded little girls,
exercising on roller skates, and of men
not over a score. The children stop and
stare in silent wonder at the prisoner
as he is led by, and all words by their
elders are spoken in undertoneS. The
drift OF the testimony for the defense
disclosed a purpose to show that Pearl
Bryan. though beleaded in Kentucky,
was first killed in Cincinnati and then
taken over to Kentucky and beheaded.
This, if successful would set the DriS-
oncr free as he could not be tried for
the same offense in Cincinnati. Mani
testify the theory of the defense is
that rearl Rryan was chlOroforned to
death unintentionally in Cincinnati
and then taken to Kentucky and be-
headed TO escape the penalty Of such
an accident

W. Ross or iGhe District Commissioners.
who comSUHehted the delegates on the
progress made by the race generally and
themselves particularly during the last M
teen or twenty years.
Mr.. Ross referred to the accomplishments
of some ofttha colored children Of the Dis
trict schools. which; he said. were SO supe-
rior to what he had expected to find when
he inspected the schools as to almost rem
der him dumfounded. Mr.. Ross further said
he was glad to be able to welcome the dele
1e nspa
ers of the capital. In concluding. Mr.. Ross
extended a hearty invitation to the dele
gates to visit the reform school while they
remain in the city, and If they see anything
them to inform the Commissioners, and II
possible, the latter would adopt their sug-
gestions.
Mrs. Josephine ST. Pierre Ruffin Of Bos-
ton replied to Mr. Ross, and during her ad-
dress she said that the National Fedora
ton was the result of plans submitted by
two or three of the women present to Fred
erick Douglass, and approved by him, some
time before his death.
The Chain Gang Law in the South.
Referring to Mr. Ross remarks, Mrs.
Matthews made thrilling address, in
which she related some incidents of the
effects Of the chain gang law as. she said
she witnessed them in the far south. and
she made the statement that many cases
could be cited in which children were I'M
dergoing sentences in the gang for from
fifteen to twenty years for what would be
considered in other parts of the Union
trlnlng offenses. The convict lease system,
of which the chain gang Is a part, was, she
said. blot on the fair fame Of the United
States.
Short addresses were made by Rev. DR..
Crummell and others, and DR.. and Mrs. S.
u. La Fetra, NJ. B. Plat and others were
introduced

CYCLING IN FRANCE.
More Than 10000 Persons Who Own
Their Own Wheels.

Their Own Wheels.
Paris Letter TO London Telegraph
Cycling having taken such strong hold
on popular favor in this country, it is inter-
esting to Tote certain figures which have
been Eub:is he'd with regard to the number
of cyclists now in France. Owing to the
tax levied on velocipedes in 1892 this num-
Der can be very accurately gagged. Then
the number of machines subject to this tax
was slightly over 10000, while in the pres
ent yeai these figures have been increased
b. another 10000. AT the time Of the great
exhibition not one-third of the present
number OF cyclists existed, and the i'm
petus given TO this branch of sport WAS IA
a large manner due to big race from
Paris to Brest and back, organized at a
later date.
Roughly, about one person in every ooU
inhabitants now rides a machine of some
sort or other. Naturally, this average va
ries in different parts of the country The
southwestern and southeastern districts, as
well as the midland, which are all noun
famous, can none of them show that more
than $50 persons out of every 1W,osW cycle
while in Corsica only in that number
ever put foot on the pedal The highest
average is reached in the department of
the Seine and Disc, and here it is found
that nc less than 1910 people in every 1oU,-
UO have taken to the wheel. In fact, in all
districts near the capital the numbers are
very high, while the contrast is attained
again in Brittany and the extreme north
east provinces. The most interesting sta
tistic to many will be that relating to the
female devotee of the wheel On very
trustworthy Information ii is stated that
there is one lady cyclist in every 20 in this
country, SO that In all something like 5000
females are addicted to this form of amuse-
ment.

To Make Many Copies.

An automatic neostyle is a recent New
York invention designed to Tighten the
labors of those in offices who have occasion
to make many copies Of one writing. This
illustration, from the Scientific American,
will explain its use.
An original may be written with an ordi-
nary TYPEWRITER on a sheet OF patented
stencil paper. The stencil is then laid on
the printing platen, and slight movement
of the lever causes the frame TO close, then
the stencil is automatically held In the
printing frame. Ali that is how necessary
to do is 10 feed the machine and operate
the lever
The ink is fed automatically, the supply
being regulated by small thumbscrew.
Comics can, therefore, be light or dark, ac
cording to the ink that is allowed 10 flow
"a thousand copies can be taken without
touching the ink fountain). This ink, as
soon as IL is deposited on the plate, is taxi
en- up automatically by two rollers, which
distribute it evenly. the ink plate reyolv-
ing a quarter of a turn at each impression.
The movement of the lever brings the print
ing roller across the stencil, the pressure
being regulated automatically, thus insur-
ing an even copy. As soon the copy is
taken the movement of the lever is revers-
ed, the frame opens and the sheet is dis
charged automatically. A simple Indicator
shows the number OF copies printed. This
machine can be made ready or closed up in
five seconds, without disconnecting a sim
gle part.

court told the men, and imposed a fine of
IS or fifteen days.
A fine of 81 was imposed on Walter
Jones for being disorderly on the street.
Della Robinson was in court because Of
q Eeighborhood row. Women OF her own
color complained against her. and the court
discharged her. telling the parties to the
suit they should keep quiet during the hot
weather.
On the front bench in the audience sat
two sweet-faced girls, who appeared very
much interested In the proceedings. The
experience was novel one, and they re-
manned in their seats until young man
named Lewis Kane was called.
This young man told the court that he
was reporter and stenographer, and at
the same time he said he was innocent of
the charge Of profanity upon which he had
been arraigned.
1t appeared that a base ball game had
been In progress on a lot near one OF the
young ladies' house. and when 1t was con-
cluded there was some profanity INDUCED
in. Kane did not intend that the young
lady should have to listen to such Ian
guage, and his remonstrance with the
crowd resulted in his being charged. He
was acquitted.
