4 RAID BY BILL STICKERS.
DEFEATED BY THE INTERVENTION OF
THE DIFFERENTIATION NOW
DECIDED ON

1t would have done the glorious company of the
antimperialists and the Beers good to see the
way their principles were defended small
scale up in Broadway Saturday night. For
some reason other bill sticking has always been
a semi-comic trade. Those who have followed it
have always been most amusingly quarrelsome
among themselves They fight with all the earnest
ness OF nations. Battles for possession of eligible
sites for advertisements used to rage in upper
Broadway with all the fury of International strug-
giles for trade and colonies
OF late these have somewhat subsidized hut on
Saturday night there a revival of hostilities
Saturday was always the great night for HOSTILE
ties. There is big and beautiful piece of fence up
there which belongs to one firm. and another firm
decided to stick bills il. The owners of the
fence heard of the contemplated conquest and
went to the police station to ask for Intervention
In the case of nations Intervention is pretty hard
10 get but the police force OF this city positively
eaten up with a passion for abstract Justice The
head of the firm of bill stickers which owns the
fence told the police captain Of the situation and
then said: You don't want to see the law violated
do you?'
The captain was aghast at the mere suggestion
of any violation of any law in his precinct He
sent detective TO watch, and when he saw men
actually come TO the place in a vehicle disguised as
a milk wagon, he nearly died of the shock that
ne was unable to protest till a small section of the
renee mad been covered with bills. But he did in
terfere, and captured three of the raiders with
some assistance, while the rest escaped.
Inc lnree captured invaders were brought before
the JEFFERSON Market Board of Arbitration yes
terday, and IL decided to have hearing on
thelr case to-day Their commanding general prom
lsed TO De on hand. too. and able argument on

SHEVLTN TRIES TO MAKE PEACE.
BUT M'LAUGHLIN ASKS WHY DEVERY IS
NOT AT HIS POST

James Shevin. the Brooklyn Democratic leader
next in rank to Hugh Mclaughlin, is endeavoring
to smooth over the trouble which has been caused
in Brooklyn by the affront shown to the Kings
County Democratic organization in Devery's trans
fers of Saturday. Mclaughlin is angry through
and through and would. it is believed, be only too
glad to break with Tammany at once. Shevlin on
the other hand who. it is thought. before him
great influence and much reward the Brooklyn
representative of Tammany, is doing everything he
can preserve the alliance between Willoughby
Street and the Croker forces. He has all along in
sisted following Cookers lead. where II
meant defeat and humiliation for BroOklyn's
own Mr.. Mclaughlin has felt. IL is said
that Brooklyn should show more independence
The difference of opinion between Mclaughlin
and Shevlin may result in trouble in the Kings
County organization.
Mr. Shevlin when seen at his home in Eighth
ave. last night, intimated that some understand
ing would soon be reached between the two organ
izations. He said that he had not been to Man
haitian the leaders there, but did not deny
that he had received some word from across the
river He was asked:
Have you received any ntimaton from Tam
many Hall that the present trouble will be salts
factorily settledT'
Well 1 cannot talk about that matter now
Things are not in such shape that can give them

NAY CONTEST PRICES ELECTION.
IT Is CHARGED THAT THE CANDIDATE FOR "A
sEMBIY DID NOT FILE HIS ELECTION
EXPENSES PROPERLY.

1t is said that Thomas Wall, the defeated Demo.
cratic candidate for the Assembly in the XIIth
District, in Kings County, is seriously considering
the advisability Of cOntesting the election OF As
semblyman Frank j. Price under the law which
provides that failure to file candidates election
expenses within specified time invalidates his
election.
At the time when the schedules Of election ex-
penses We're due Assemblyman Price was not In
town and his father made them our. OF course
they were not sworn to by the young man. Whether
such schedule will hold is a question. Republican
lawyers say that it can be shown that Assembly
Price had intention of violating the law
and that under the circUmst auces his election
could not be declared forfeited.

The convention was composed of two factions who were desirous of seating their man as chairman. Messrs. John c. Webb, of Dem opolis, and William c. Harrison, of Fauns- dale, were the candidates. The Webb fac ton was a little in the majority and, after much wrangling, MT. Webb was seated. Then question to whether or not the chair should appoint one man from each beat delegation on the committee on cre- dentials etc., arose. one faction wanting the chair to appoint them, the other claim ing that the respective delegations should select man from their number
 Men who were not delegates, thinking that the chairman was not ruling fairly, sprang into the stand when the chairman was seated and demanded flair and impar- tial rulings" This caused a stampede and in the hottest of the excitement, a young man, whose name we reserve the privilege of withholding, pulled a pistol and fired It into the top of the court house. It is said that twenty-five or thirty pistols were pulled within the next few minutes. but peace and order were soon restored.
 The representatives were instructed for Morgan and the senator requested to cast turn the senator
