die.
The trouble began in the saloon of
Joseph Maovitik, on the corner of Ad-
ans street and Whiting road.
For some years bad blood has existed
between the Hungarians and the Po-
landers living in whiting Maovitik is
a Pole, and about o'clock this after
noon a crowd of Hungarians entered his
saloon with the avowed purpose of
clearing out the place. They began by
directing insulting remarks to the sa-
loonkeeper and his wife, who was also
in the saloon at the time.
Several of Maovitik's friends were
present, and one of them struck Hun
garian, knocking him senseless. The
Hungarians became enraged at this,
and, drawing revolvers, opened up a
promiscuous shooting.
Maovitik and his wife fed upstairs
leaving the Hungarians in possession of
the saloon. Several of them rushed out
side and with clubs began breaking the
large plate glass windows of the sa
loon. Maovitik from an upper window
fired volley at the men below. His
shots told, and when the smoke cleared
away Szanjo and Mutcha lay dead in
the street.
In the meantime Mrs. Maovitik stood
at the head Of the stairs and fired into
a crowd attempting to mount the stairs.
Thomas Fell, it is thought, was NOR
tally wounded Gladstone was in the
saloon at the time the trouble began,
taking orders for cigars, and was en-
deavoring to escape when one of the
shots from the woman's gun struck him
in the breast just over the heart. The
bullet was checked by a matchbox in
his vest pocket, which saved his life
Then Chief of Police Dobbins, officer
Lowenthal and Deputy Sheriff Emmett
came on the scene. The maddened Hun
garians barricaded themselves in the
saloon and refused to come out. With
draw revoIvers the officers attacked
the doors of the building. They sue
ceeded in forcing an entrance and ar
rested the ringleaders. They took the
prisoners to Hammond Jail, where they
will be given a hearing tomorrow.
There is much talk among the Poles
tonight that may signify trouble to-
morrow.

No Hope of saving the eSSel or InS
People on Board.
PATCHOGUE CN. ", Feb. 6.-Two
wrecking tugs worked from yesterday
until 10 o'clock to-day trying to pull
eff the steamship bennington, which
went ashore Tuesday night. AT 10
o'clock this morning the tugs aban
doned the vessel because of the high
seas. The wrecking company put seven
men aboard the ship last night, but
could not launch a boat to- take them
off, so they left them aboard, with Cap
tain Duff, the mate and three engineers.
Fourteen men are now aboard the
steamer, and they will probably be
washed overheard before morning.
Last night Captain Duff signaled
Captain Rourke to take off the
breeches buoy, which was done At II
o'clock this morning signals of distress
were made from the vessel The life
savers tried to throw line to them,
but failed. The steamships stern is
solidly imbedded in the sand while the
bow pounds back and forth. The men
dare not leave their positions or they
will be washed overheard.
At nightfall all seemed hopeless. The
seas dash high over the vessel from
stern to stem. A line was shot to the
vessel about 6:30 this evening during
a lull in the storm. which caught in
the rigging, but the men who had taken
to the masts at 6:15 o'clock could not
find it on account of darkness. It is not
known whether the men on board the
steamship are dead or alive. The line
hangs listless in the surf The vessel
is all under water. The seas threaten
at any moment. to throw the men out
OF the rigging. It appears on shore as
if the steamships bottom has been
broken.
The life savers are still working
bravely, under terrible strain. The
storm tonight is worse than it was to-
day. Two of the men on board are said
to be Merritt's nephew and Lauter-
backs brother.

Never Amounted to Anything u

W., In New YORK sun.

CT a friend, who is resident of Lincoln,
Neb., and a leading member of the local
bar, as to Mr.. Bryan's qualifications. etc.
lows:
YES know Billy Bryan well. 1 had the
honor of being on the committee of the bar
which examined him for admission to prac-
tice in Lincoln in 1885. His wife also
examined at the same time, and she IN
questionably passed by very considerable
margin the better of the two.
Now, if you want to know the straight
truth of our friend Billy Bryan it is that
he is a very good-looking and genial gen.
tleman, and he seldom says unpleasant
things and is peculiarly fortunate in his
ability to rub the fur the right way. He
is, politically, a demagogue and trimmer,
but socially, morally, and Intellectually, so
far as he knows, he is nupr1ght clean
man.
LAS q lawyer he has practically done no
business and has not ranked in even the
fourth class. What little he has done has
been remarked upon as very weak and de-
fectiv1. AS a business man he has mad no
experience. He came to Lincoln In 1885,
think late ir the year. In 1883 or 1890 he re-
ceived the nomination 70 Congress the DIS
trict being normally from 1,2OO to 1,So0 Re-
publican. The Republican nominee was no
toriously unfit and was very unfortunate
selection. Bryan was undoubtedly more
surprised at his election than any one else.
He ran again in 1892 and was elected by l55
majority, caused by local dsaffection.
From the day he was elected to Congress
he mounted the silver hobby horse, talked
necessarily anu luOSl Vi me lluiS well, Seti
ried his cuts with him for all the news
papers when he travelled. When his term
expired he did not dare run again, but an
Eolnced his desire to go to the Senate, and
expected to get there on the joint Demo-
cratic and Populist vote. 1t so happened
that they lacked considerable number OF
votes, and Bryan was. as Senator ingalls,
