annapolis in Safety.


Indianapolis, April s.-Ex-President
Harrison and his bride arrived from
New York at 1918 last night. A large
crowd was at the Union station when
the train came in. They alighted from
the rear coach, and Mrs Harrison took
the generals arm and was escorted
through the station to the carriage in
waiting. AS they passed through
the gates, = cheer went up from the
crowd and was taken up and repeated
again and again outside the gates
The bridal couple moved with a quick
step through the throng which parted
on either side for their passage, the
general recognizing one or two ac-
quaintances to whom he nodded his
head in recognition. Upon entering
the carriage they were driven rapidly
to their North Delaware street home.
No one was there to receive them
except the housekeeper. To-day a
number of handsome boquets were sent
to the residence and also some pack
ages which were supposed to contain
presents for the general and his bride.
1t is understood that a reception will
be given at the residence shortly but
no arrangements have been announced.
No public reception will be given by

CHICAGO'S ELECTION
Knives and Pistols Figured in It
Prominently.
SEVERAL VERY SERIOUS OUTBREAKS
Two Men Severely tpjursd-Numerous
Riot Calls Turned In and Many Of
the Disorderly Poll Workers
Placed Under Arrest.

Chicago, April s.-During the pro-
gress of the municipal elections yester-
day several affrays occurred. Blood
was shed in the first ward and the
police were called on to quell several
incipient riots at the polling places
among the followers of the rival alder
manic candidates. The levee section
of the ward also provided its usual
quota of lesser brawls, with fists, rocks
and clubs as weapons and whiskey as
the accessory in every case. There
were disturbances among the Italians
of the nineteenth ward. Fist fights
and elections of tresspassers from the
polling places by the police were re-
ported in the second, eighteenth and
twenty-second wards. The police
quickly restored order whenever an
outbreak occurred. The open violation
of the law against saloons selling liquor
during the voting hours made most Of
the trouble for the police
A Serious Outbreak.
The most serious outbreak occurred
in the levee district near the polling
place at 400 Dearborn street Joseph
Grogan, a clerk for the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois railroad, who was not
in any way connected with the rioters,
was shot in the leg and the bones were
so shattered that amputation may be
necessary. He was going to his Office
when a gang of colored and white men
engaged in a fight and half a thousand
of the same class of men were quickly
on the spot. An unknown colored man
drew a revolver and fred six bullets
into the mob, one of them striking
Grogan, who fell to the sidewalk. The
fighters and the man who used the
gun were pursued by officers but all
escaped. At the same place the differ
ent factions came in conflict with fists
and revolvers, one man receiving
several blows with weapon.
A Riot Call Turned I'm.
A riot call was turned in by the off,
GERS on duty and numerous arrests
were made. Close upon this disturb
ance came another in the same part of
the ward Sol Van Praag, a deputy
United States marshal, who is a char
acter in the ward, was attacked by a
gang of heelers and the crowd rushed
to the rescue, precipitating free fight,
in which shots were fred. No one was
hit and the police captured two of the
shooters. The first blood shed was
just after the opening of the polls at
192 Washington street, first ward
William Martin shot William Hickey
in the arm and the trouble led to q
small riot The police arrested Hickey
and gang of imported sluggers tried
to rescue him. The prisoner was being
taken away when riot call brought
a force of detectives from the city hall
and the mob was beaten back.

POLICE IN RESERVE.
New York's Chief Preparing for Railroad
Strike Troubles.


Strike Troubles.
New York, April S.-President w.
D. Mahon OF the Amalgamated Associ-
alton of Street Railway employees of
kAmerica has sent letter to President
FVreeland of the Metropolitan Street
Railway company, requesting a con-
ference in the hope of bringing about
settlement of the difficulty existing
between the company and the associa-
tion over the discharge of number of
gripman and conductors, some of whom
are members of the association. Chief
'Conlin has all the police in reserve at
the various station houses in conse-
Quence of the threatened strike on the
cable road. Mr.. Conliu says that he is
holding the reserve as precautionary
measure. He does not anticipate any
trouble, but will be fully prepared if
there is anv. In his reply to President
Mahon's letter, Mr.. Vreeland says that
there is no contention between the
association which Mr.. Mahon repre-
Sents and the railroad company, that
the men were discharged for violating
rules of the company and that he finds
himself unable to comply with Mr..
Mahon's request for a conference.

THE STORY SECUTED.
Rennsylvania Railroad Ofciais Do Not

n
Think the Employees Are organizing.
Philadelphia, April s-While not
positively denying the story of their
men organizing, the officials of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company have
no knowledge of any such movement
among their employees. In the Office
of General Manager Provost all knowl-
edge of any such com bination was de-
MED outright and the suggestion was
secuted as highly improbable, al
Though, of course, within the range of
possibility. ice-President Pugh was
equally positive in asserting that such
movement was highly unlikely. "Our
men have had little to do with the
American Railway union," he said,
'and l hardly think they are now be-
ing recruited into the union, especially
rs an aid to the street railway men in
the event of possible strike or future
trouble of any sort. We have heard
nothing of the kind, though it is not
TO be expected that they would come

Really contemplate a1lying themselves
with the Amalgamated Association of
Street Railway Employees, still think
we should have some inkling of such
movement, involving, as it does, such
diversified interests.

THE SOUTH LAWRENCE FIGHT.
Interesting Contest on Legal Points Ex-
peOted-Much Discussion Caused.

Interesting Contest on Legal Points Ex-
peoted-Much Discussion Caused.
Haverhill, Mass, April Sit is prob
able that there will be an interesting
contest on legal points over the South
Lawrence prize fight. Judge Stone has
granted hearing for Saturday morn
ing on the point OF the responsibility
of the stakeholder, Duncan McRae,
who was not present at the fight. The
mayor will appear as counsel for
him. It is also claimed by counsel for
the men, as no admission was charged,
that those who were present were not
aiding and abetting a prize fight, and
that they took no part in it. The law
applies, it is said, to the referee and
officials of the match, but not to the
spectators unless admission fee is
charged. The matter is causing much
discussion here and all legal points
will be hotly contested. The specta-
tors will make determined fight
against conviction.

HUNDREDS REFUSED
Only a Few Will Witness the
Hanging Of Holmes.
DR.. MACDOyALD'S REQUEST DENIED
The Murderer Declined To Permit His
Emotions To he Recorded by the
KymographiOn-Entit to .
Quiet, Peaceful Death.

Philadelphia, April A-Hundreds of
applications have been made to Sheriff
Clement for permission to witness the
execution of HI. HI. Holmes, who is to
hang on May for the killing of Ben
jamin F. Pietzel, but very few will be
admitted. Without doubt the most
interesting of these requests is that of
DR.. Arthur Macdonald, the head of the
psycho-neurological department of the
national bureau of education in
Washington. DIR. Macdonald has a
worldwide reputation as a psyche
neurologist. His principal study has
been among criminals. Science and
ingenuity have contrived an instrument
which is known in scien tific laborator-
les as the kymographion. This is an
instrument for recording, in visible
lines, human emotion. With this ma
chine the scientist wishes to ascertain
the emotions of the convicted murderer
just before he goes on the gallows. It
is predicted that the result will show
whether or not Holmes was at all agi-
tated over his taking off. DR.. Mac
Donald wrote to Sheriff Clement and
the inspectors of the county prison
for permission to attend the execution
and experiment on the murderer. He
explained that it was in the interest of
science, and that he was acting in his
official capacity. But the authorities
have refused to grant the doctors re-
quest. Holmes himself was consulted
in the matter and he declined to sub
nit to such examinations. The sheriff
says the prisoner is entitled to a quiet.
peaceful hanging.
Holmes Alleged Confession.
The time of the condemned man
nowadays is taken up chiefly with eff
forts to dispose of statement which
he has written, purporting to be true
autobiography, or confession. There
was some lively bidding for this docu-
meut by New York newspapers. One
of them, it is said, has secured it for
large sum, and its publication is expect
ed soon. In fact there are several alleged
statements abroad in the land and
newspaper readers may look for fac
simile statements in the prisoners
handwriting and all sorts of alleged
interviews with him from now until
the day of his execution.

An Important Decision.

Albany, April s.-The court of ap-
peals has reversed the decision finding
the Adelphi club of Albany guilty of
selling liquor without license. The
decision reverses the judgement and
discharges the defendant, thus practi-
cally determining that club is mans
home and not subject to license fee.
From this it would appear that all
clubs are exempt from the operations
of the Raines law. Lawyers consider
the decision of much Importance.

SENATOR MoReAN's ILLNESS.
With Rest and Quiet He VIII BE About
in q Few Days.

Washington, April s.-Senator 8. Nor
gan, who has been very i'll for severa-
days, is slightly better this morning,
but he is not permitted to see visitors
For several days his condition alarmed
the members of the family, but it is
said this morning that with rest and
quiet the senator will be about again
within week or ten days. He was
first taken i'll with severe cold. Dur
ing the past month he has had great
deal of hard committee work to
do and this has weakened his general
condition. For many days he had Mr..
Huntingdon under a severe examina-
tion in connection with Central Pacific
railroad matters, and in addition to
this he has been in constant consulta-
tion with the members of the house
committee on the proposed bill for the
construction of the Nicaragua canal,
he being chairman of that committee
in the senate.

THE BELLARDEN BEAcHED.
A Hole Stove in Her Side by the Fries
land in q Collision.

Quarantine, s. l., April s.-The
British steamer Bellarden of the Lam
port & Holt line, while outward bound
last night, collided off Owls Head
buoy with the Belgian steamer Fries
land, which was just leaving Quaran-
tine for her pier. The Bellarden at
once began to fill and the pilot headed
for the Staten Island shore and beached
his boat between the Clifton Ferry
landing and the Merritt Wrecking COM
pany's dock. At the time of grounding
the Bellarden had fourteen feet of
water in her hold. The Friesland was
not injured and proceeded to her dock.
The Bellarden was struck glancing
blow on the port side abaft the mid
ships house.

ALMOST INEVITABLE
reneral Strike of Street Railway
Employees Imminent.
ONLY EXTREME TACT CAN AVERT 1T
The Men VIII Demand Better Wages,
Fewer Hours and Recognition of Their
Unions-Labor AgItatOrs at Work.
New York Police Prepared.

Boston, April s.-Reports from vari-
nus cities of the eastern and middle
,tates Indicate that there is great un-
easiness among the men employed by
the street railroad companies. In some
of the dispatches strike is predicted.
Labor agitators have for some time
been among the men endeavoring to
organize them into unions. What the
particular grievance is, is not known,
but it is thought that the strikes, if
they do occur, will be for better wages,
shorter hours and the recognition of
the unions to which they belong. From
the dispatches received here it seems
that general strike on the lines in
some of the principal cities of the north
is almost iuevita BILE, and, if the trouble
Is averted, it will be, from the present
outlook, only through the exercise of
extreme tact and the making of con-
cessions by both employers and en-
ploves.
