this morning two men stopped in front
of Mrs. Lind's boarding house, a few
squares from the Bfown hosting works,
where a man named Gstter, employed
at the works, boarded. They yelled for
the ''sca1" to come out and then they
began stoning the house. Presently
one OF the men fired at the door, the
bullet passing through the panel. A
detachment OF militia company was
| ordered to the scene on the dou BILE
quick. As the soldiers turned the
neigh boripg corner two meu started to
run. The Lieut.. shouted malt The
men paid no attention, and the soldiers
began firing. The two men returned
the fire. One man was beard to eroan
a moment later; however, both had dis
appeared. The affrsy caused the ut
most excitement 10 the neighborhood
for time. Soldiers and others believe
that the two men had planned 10 blow
up Mrs. Llnd's house. About $50 nom
union men went to work at the Brown
works this morning, under guard OF u
large force of militia aud police. An
enormous crowd of strikers and sight
seers were present but no trouble &C.
CURED. On every street within q
radius OF nearly a mile, both soldiers
and locked-out men pstrolled the eide
walks. The soldiers were doubly arm
ed, wearing belts and rsvolvers as we'll
as carrying guns. The strikers also
carried guns.
At meeting of the executive com
mite, Of the locked-out Brown Hosting
Works men this morning it wss decided
unanimously to ask the Central Labor
Union to declare sympathetic strike.
Ii this is done it will call out $1,000 to
10000.

the Bee from Lincoln Neb.. saws:
when W. j. Bryan leaves for New
York next Friday evening he will carry
with him a draft of the speech he in
tends to use before the notification
committee in Madison Square garden.
He has devoted considerable time to it
already but will put q few finishing
touches on before IL can be called COM
plete. 1t will occupy between an hour
and an hour and a half in delivery.
He will discuss the Chicago platform
In detail and gives his Interpretation
therefore. tie is very Indignant at the
charge that he and those who stand
with him on the Chicago platform are
to be classed as anarchists or aim to
break down any lave of the country.
10 his New York speech he will round
ly denOunce the accusation. Those
who are taken into bis confidence cay
that the speech will sstonish the coun-
try. 1t contains a number OF new and
pleasing metaphors lever before used
on any stage and having nothing in COM
mon with "crowns of thorns" or ''cross-
ses OF gold" 1t is understood that
Richard P. Bland will accompany
Bryan to New York and appear with
him at Madison Square and make a
speech. 1t is said Bryan will make no
set speech along the route but will in =
dulge in informal talks to the people
from the rear platform Of coaches.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. A Mont
gomery special to the Banner says the
returns so far show conciusively that
johnson and the entire democratic tick
eft are elected by a majority of about
10000. The legislature is surely demo-
cratic by at Leaf two tbmds. Heavy
democratic gains we're made. The pop
ullst leaders In Birmingham claim that
thousands OF fictitious votes we're cast
in the black belt and threaten If Good
win is not elected they will organize
the populists against Bryan snd carry
the state for Mckinley. There is not
doubt that this is the greatest demo
cratic victory in tie state since 1910.
