ting q nearer glimpse of the president.
The reception committee, composed of
well known citizens, followed in car
riages. Upon the square as the presi-
Dental carriage passed the reviewing
stand the president gazed upon the
structure with beaming smile. A num-
ber of people had assembled at the
Mckinley residence when the parade
and carriages arrived there. Even the
we'll kept lawn was not free from
trampling feet of people who excitedly
rushed inside the iron fence and gath
cred around the porch Of the house. ex-

president as he arrived there. AS the
president stepped out of the carriage
and up the flagstone walk to his front
porch, people standing on both sides
of the street cheered, and he removed
his hat altogether and upon reaching
the front door he quickly stepped in

made a short address. saying:
"Neighbors and Friends: am pleased
this morning to say that we are very
glad to get home again and be one with
you and one Of you as of old. And the
pleasure is very greatly enhanced by
the warm and hearty welcome which
my old neighbors and fellow citizens
have given me here this morning, for
which most profoundly thank them"

the house and held a sort of reception
among some old neighbors and friends
who had stepped into the room. The
large crowd remained about the house
for quite a good while thereafter. The
band and other bodies in the parade
Immediately started down street, and
the reception to the president was over.

STILL AT LARGE.
Jail Birds Have Not Been Cap
tured But Reward Still
Stands.

No word has been heard at the county
sheriff's Office concerning Shorthand and
Gallagher, the two jail birds who climb
ed out of the bastile and struck out for
liberty Wednesday night. Not person
seems to have seen them. No rumor
has even come to hand that they have
been heard from or seen anywhere.
The fellows evidently just dropped of
the earth so far as the officials are con-
cerned.
In the meantime the sheriff will keep
his reward Of $25 apiece open and the
fellow that brings either of the fellows
in will get the money.

A FIERCE fight IN CHICAGO
At Dearborn Street Crossing OF
Western Indiana Railroad.
HUNDREDS OF MEN PARTICIPATED
A Dozen Severely and Two
Dangerously Injured.
Employees of the General Electric Railway
90. succeeded IN Running Cars Across tho
Tracks of the Western Indiana Railroad,
But Not without Bloodshed.

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 90. Five hundred
men employed by the General Electric
Railway Go. fought last evening with
employees Of the Western Indiana Rail-
road Go. for possession Of the Dearborn
street crossing Of the railroad com
pany's tracks at Fifteenth street.. A
dozen men were severely injured while
fighting, and two others were danger
ously hurt as result of the wrecking
of IA cars of junk on the crossing by
the railroad company. The General
Electric Railway Co. however, obtained
tempoi ary possession of the crossing,
and succeeded in running cars across
the tracks.
A squad Of policemen are now guard
ing the crossing, to prevent further
trouble. The police have been unable
to learn the names of those injured, as
the wounded men we're spirited away
by their employers.
The trouble was started when word
was received that the Supreme Court
of the State of Illinois had reversed
the decision Of the Appellate Court, and
dissolved the injunction which, for
more, than year, had kept the General
Electric Railway Co. from crossing the
Western Indiana tracks at Fifteenth
street. Immediately, the management
Of the General Electric Railway Co.
went ahead to secure possession of the

MAY DEPOSIT THE FUNDS.
City Auditor VIII Not Hold Large Amounts
of Money In Dispute.

VI Wuhey IN DtbPuLes
The fact that City Auditor Pyle is
holding 500, received by HIM as wharf
rental, as Treasurer Hamann will not
assure him that be will deposit the
money to the credit of City Council,
does not indicate, according to Mr. Pyle,
that he intends to pursue that course
until it is definitely determined whether
the money properly belongs to Council
or the Street and Sewer Department.
He informed reporter of the Gazette
that if any large amount OF money
should come into his hands he would
assume the responsibility of deposit
ing it himself in the Union National
Bank to the credit of City Council, as
he would feel, being an officer of the
Council, that he had right to do So,
having been ordered by Council not to
permit such funds to go to the credit
of the Street and Sewer Department.
For some years prior to 1888 twas
the custom of the auditor to personally
deposit all moneys received by him
from time to time and at the end of
each month give City Council check
for the full amount, but in 1883 the law
was changed SO as to require him to
make deposits through the treasurer's
office, but, so far as is known, he is not
required to make deposits only when
called upon to do so by City Council.
Mr.. Pyle has been turning the money
over to Council each week.

RESCUED FROM DROWNING.
william FowIer's Thrilling Experience on
Coni Spriug Pond.

William Fowler's Thrilling Experience on
Cooi Spriug Pond.
William Fowler, aged 10 years, of
No. 1lO6 jackson street, had thrilling
experience and narrowly escaped drown
ing while skating ON the pond in Cool
Spring Park about s. 30 O'Clock Tuesday
morning. He was with party of boys
who were having an enjoyable time on
the ice, but, unfortunately he went
where the ice was not very thick and it
broke and he went down. He had
presence of mind enough to throw out
his arms and by doing so succeeded in
keeping his head above water until he
could be assisted from his uncomfort-
able position.
His cries and the shouts of his COM
panions attracted the attention of
Hiram Kimble, engineer at Cool Spring
pumping station, and John L. Under
wood, who ran to his assistance. With
ladder and rope they succeeded in
getting him out Of the water and he
was sent to his home. He sustained
nothing worse than a ducking. but if
his head had gone under the ice,
although tie water is not very deep,
he would, in all probability, have been
drowned.

CONVENTION DATE CHANGED.
Regulars Make Move Which is Calculated

A subcommittee of the Regular

to avoiding meeting on the same day as
