LAWLESSNESS AT CLEVELAND.
Boarding House Attacked and Militia
and Strikers Have a Skirmisb.


Cleveland, o., Aug. 4.-Shooting by
soldiers and rioters marked the open
ing of another day in the vicinity of
the Brown Hosting works.
At 1910 o'clock this morning two
men stepped in front of Mrs. Linds
boarding house, few squares from
the Brown Hosting works, where
man named Gettner, who is employed
at the works, boards. They yelled for
the "scabs'' to come out, and then be-
gan to throw stones at the house.
Presently one of them fired at the
door, the bullet passing through a
panel and entering the house. The
noise attracted the attention of the
militia, and detachment of men was
ordered to the scene on the double
quick run.
AS the soldiers turned neighboring
corner the two men started to run.
The lieutenant in charge shouted
halt but the pursued men paid no
attention to the order and the soldiers
began shooting at them. They re-
turned the fire and for a few minutes
there was lively fusilade. One of
the men suddenly made cry and was
heard to groan. A moment latter,
however, both had disappeared.
The affair caused the utmost excite
ment in the neighborhood. Bullets
struck several houses Two bullets
went clear through the side of a groc-
cry store. The soldiers and others be-
lieve the men had planned to blow up
Mrs. Lind's house.
About $50 non-union men went to
work at the Brown works this morn
ing, under guard of a large force of
militia and police. An enormous
crowd of strikers and their sympa-
thizers was present, but no trouble oc-

sEWALL'S SHIPPING BUSINESS.
Great Industry Built Up by the Vice.
Presidential Candidate.

Presidential Candidate.
Sewall & Co., the Maine ship-build-
ing firm of which the democratic NOM
inee for vice president is the senior
member, is interested solely in the
building and operation of sailing ves-
sells. The fleet is composed of 10 ships,
ranging from 1900 to $500 tons each.
Four of them are worth $150,000 each,
while the others are worth SIS, 900 each.
Besides these the company has six
large schooners.
The ships carry freight between New
York, San Francisco and European
ports, and also run to China, japan and
the Sandwich islands. Eight of the
vessels have Just arrived with cargoes
of sugar from Honolulu and. two more
ere on the way. These 10 vessels carry
in the course of year millions Of dol
lars worth Of freight.
When the firm started in business
there were several other shipbuilders
in Bath, but they gradually disappeared
for one reason and another. The Sewalls
had the capital and pluck to continue,
even against great odds. They have not
built any vessels during the last two
years, because of low freights and gen.
eral business depression, but it is their
intention to resume work shortly. The
plant at Bath was built few years ago
at cost of 100000 and is one of the
most extensive in the world. In busy
times hundreds of men are employed.

RADICAL BUSINESS POLITICS.

Chicago, Aug. 4.-P. d. Armour, the
pork packer, has had printed copies
distributed among his 5000 employees
announcing that for an American sill
yer dollar he will give them so cents
worth of meat and a Mexican silver
dollar in change. He has also pre-
pared circular showing the rates of
wages and price of goods for the
working classes in Mexico as compar-
ed to what is received in this country.
A ready-made clothing merchant has
also/hung out a placard saying that
heFwill give for an American silver
dollar so cents worth of goods and a
Mexican dollar for change.
THEY SAW THE CARS.
Mena, Ark, Aug. 4.-The first train
over the Kansas City, Pittsburg and
Gulf railway arrived in this city short
iy after 8 o'clock last evening. II
consisted of locomotive and private
cars and brought in party of rail
road officials from Kansas City and
other points, together with a number
of newspaper representatives. The
Gulf is the first road to tap this coun-
ty, and the event was a most interest
ing one to the inhabitants of Mena.
Two thousand people have been camp
ed in the woods about three miles out
of town for several days, and many
of them saw a train last evening for
the first time in their lives. The road
will run through passenger and freight
trains between Kansas City and Mena
regularly, beginning next Thursday
When the line from Mena to Horatio,
Ark, is finished the road will be ready
from Kansas City into and south of
Shreveport, La.

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Nothing in
years has caused such a furry in
commercial circles as the collapse
of the Moore's in their efforts to
maintain control of the Diamond
match stocks aud the New York
Biscuit company. 1t has been the
talk of every man connected with
the stock exchange and the board
OF trade.
Another striking feature Of the
failure and one which in a measure
shows its extent and breadth, is
the fact that the stock exchange,
for the first time in its history,
adjourned indefinitely as soon as
it's doors were opened without do.
ing a dollars worth of business.
The following notice was posted
on the exchange door:

New York, Aug. 4.--The announce
ment of the failure in Chicago last
night of Moore Brothers, promoters
of the Diamond Match company, and
the New York Biscuit company, re-
suited here today in all sorts of ru-
mors concerning the effect upon bust
ness at the New York offices of the
concerns mentioned Scores of per-
sons interested in the affairs of the
Diamond Match company visited the
offices of that company, of which Geo.
p. Johnson is manager. Johnson was
not at his Office today, but his secre-
tary said the cause was that Moore
Brothers owned q good deal of stock

did not necessarily follow that their
anee of the business of the concern.
The company will certainly go ahead
and fill orders. Following statement
was given to representative of the
Associated Press at the office of the
New York Biscuit company: THE
failure of Moore Bros. will in no man
ner affect the business of the New
York Biscuit company. The fact
that VIM. III. Moore, of Moore Bros,
is president of this company, is no
reason why we should be affected in
the least We have heard of the fail
ure and that is about all The stock
of the company is well protected. 1t
is very likely when full information
is received from Chicago it will be
found that the affairs of Moore Bros.
will be settled within a very short
time. Whether they are or not, the
business here will go on just the same
as if Moore Bros. We're perfectly sol

The story. however, Is more ingenious than

something that can be split with an crdn-

yarns about orchards and frosts win excite
only ironical laughter.

B. +. Bush general superintendent OF

turned on Tuesday evening from month
visit in Eastern cities. and mas at ais

purely one OF pleasure and OF rest, II ha.-
ing been a number Of years since be VS.
tied his old home.
Mr.. Bush was in New York city several
days. Chicago two days, ST. Paul q
couple Of days and through the coal min
ing towns in Pennsylvania and numerous
other places. He says about the only
thing talked of was politics In faet.
they are warmer throughout the East and
what is better still. everything Is Re-
publican
why said he, lone Is no more than
introduced to a person than politics are
preached. and more than that the name
OF Mckinley. The people everywhere /
visited were simply eraxed over him, even
in New York. Aorton's stronghold, and
In Pennsylvania, Quay's home. his name
being mentioned as II he were the only
man in the race Reed would be spoken
OF as possibility. A surprising feature
OF the situation is the number of old
line Democrats who are coming out for
him. giving as their reasons his protection
policy and sound money views.
In ths coal regions Of Pennsylvania,
which are frightfully dull. his name Is
a mascot. the miners believing he and his
policy alone viii give them work. Almost
parallel case to these people are the
sheep men In different parts Of the coun-
try, many OF whom are buying up all
the stock they can get their hands on for
the purpose OF breeding and having on
hand when Mckinley is elected. One man
in Wyoming recently purchased $500

In the money centers Of the East I
heard nothing but sound money talk In
one place in Wisconsin. a few farmers
were crying FREQ silver. but they did not
know why they wanted it. Nearly every
one met seemed to think that the entire
Pacific coast was for free silver. and when
1 informed them that believed Washing
ton would adopt a sound money platform
they seemed very much pleased and sur
prised.
Il tell you that Seattle is not the worst

try, as many people seem to believe 1t

Railroad officials on the different lines
are complaining of light travel and say
they never in their experience saw any
thing like IT,
"A thing that struck me as funny was
the interest the people of the East are
taking in the Alaska fever. At almost
every railroad station can be seen posters
with fiaring letters To the Yukon, $40
You ask me IL am glad to get back
