Serious Rencounter.

CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-Yesterday thir-
teen farmers in the vicinity of the
Tollesten Club, in Lake county, Indi-
ana, started out on an expedition to
kill muskrats. They ventured over on
the Tolleston Clubs lands, not far away.
On this land they captured few skins,
when several watchmen of the Tolles-
ton Club discovered them and ordered
them of, but instead of taking to their
heels the former attacked the watch
men with rat spears, guns and pistols,
and refused to move an inch. At this
stage of the game the firing commenced
in earnest. In the battle that followed
three men were fatally injured and
several others were slightly hurt. Four
of the watchmen are in Jail at Crown
Point. They insist that the poachers
fired the first shot.

Fire I'm u College.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2O.-Bellevue Hos
pital Medical College, in the grounds
of Bellevue Hospital, was Quilted by
fire this morning. The patients in the
hospital were taken from their cots,
dressed and gathered in the corridor.
None of them however, had to leave
the building. The fire was discovered
shortly before S o'clock. The flames
were confined to the college and did
not touch the hospital. Shortly after
the fire was discovered there was an
explosion in the burning building
caused, it is supposed, by some chemi-
Gals that were stored on the third floor.
The flames made very rapid Roadway
and soon the interior of the building
was Quilted. The fourth floor was used
as dissecting room where there were
probably thirty bodies laid out for dis.
section. The damage to the building
and contents is estimated at about
$4,000. 1t is thought that fire was
due to defective electric light wire.

TO-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS
Ivory discharged from Custody.

LONDON, Jan. 2G.-The trial of Ed
ward J. Ivory, the alleged dynamite
conspirator, which began on Monday,
suddenly came to an end to-day by the
complete collapse of the governments
case, and the discharge of the prisoner.
This morning the solicitor general, who
has been conducting the prosecution,
addressed the court saying that the au.
thorities had made the discovery that
the explosives which were found in
Antwerp were purchased after the
date of the alleged conspiracy, and
there was no evidence to show
that Ivory was concerned in the pur-
chase. Therefore, he said, that por.
ton of the case could not be sustained
and it was not customary to proceed
with the trial of a case upon minor
charges after the principal charge had
been withdrawn. The government
thereupon withdrew the prosecution
and Ivory was discharged from custody

WEDNESDAY EVENING, JAN. 20, 1887.

ONE OF the Washington newspapers
that, having done all they could to de-
fame Alexandria county, SO as to deter
people from buying homes there, and
then urged Congress to repeal the act
of retrocession, now says, "the people
of the District of Columbia are neutral
in the matter, save to the extent of in
sisting that if any thing be accomplish
ed toward the restoration of the
old area, the entire retroceded terri
tory should be given back, and not
merely that SMALL part which Virginia
esteems so lightly" The paper re-
ferred to need give itself no more con
Germ about either the whole or any
part of the retroceded territory, all OF
which Virginia highly esteems. Not
only does the highest authority at the
Department of Justice, but every body
else who has given the subject any con-
sideration, knows that there is nothing
in the Constitution that prohibited Con-
gress from retroceding that part of the
original District of Columbia south of
the Potomac to Virginia, and that the
retrocession of U. S. territory to States
adjoining that territory has been mat
ter of frequent occurrence. AS Con-
gress doesn't want Alexandria and as,
if it should, Virginia would never will
ingly surrender it, all further talk OF
retrocession is waste of breath.

A NORTHERN newspaper that desert
ed the party to which it processes to be
long last fall, alluding to the report that
enough so-cslled democratic Senator'S
will unite with the republicans in the
Senate to secure the passage of high
tariff bill, says: "Such combination
on the basis of spoilS, bounties and
special favors, to pass higher tariff
would be an act of political per6dy
rarely matched 10 our history" But
what sort of combination was that
made by the republicans and the gold
boiling democrats last November, and
on what basis and for what purpose
was it made? The gall of the newspa-
per referred to is prodigious. Of course
the Senators who may vote for high
tariff are not democrats; but neither
are those who recently deserted their
party on the eve of q contest and went
over to the republicans.
