MOBBED BY STRIKERS.
Two Men Sent to a HOspital-Progress
of Machinists' Strike.

CHICAGO, March 3.-Two nonunion
workmen are being cared for at the County
Hospital as the result of brutal assaults
made on them by a mob of strikers at
Canalport avenue and Seward street this
noon. They are L. S. Gondy and Aaron
Ayers. Two others were assaulted and
badly beaten by strikers at Sixtieth and
Kimbark avenue earlier in the day. and 1t
was only when a woman of the neighbor-
hood came to the rescue with a revolver
that the strikers were driven away. War
rants were sworn out for the arrest of
the assailants of Gondy and Ayers. Work
was carried on with nOnuniOn men by the
united contractors to-day and it was
planned to send out many more nonunion
workmen.
In the strike of the machinists National
President OConnell and Business Agents
Brown and Roderick were busy during the
day extending the detection of men to the
smaller shops. Nearly every shop OF i'm
portance In the city has been tied up to
some extent by the union. At the Deering
harvester works Superintendent Kennedy
said that only twenty-five men had gone
out, and 1t was probable the strike would
have no noticeable effect at that plant.
The Siemens & Halske electrical works in
Cicero did not close this evening, as was
anticipated by the strikers. Instead a
notice was posted, announcing that the
firm was member of the Chicago Associa-
ton of Machine Manufacturers and that
the demands for recognition Of the Machin-
lists Union would not be granted. 1t stated
further that all employees could return to
their work regardless of connection with
the union and they would be given protec-
ton, but no discrimination would be made
between union and nonunion workmen.

office to office, hunting mice and incidental

passed always.
In the afternoon Sandy would idle around
the waiting rooms until about o'clock,
picking up what food he could find and
sleeping when there was nothing else TO do.
AT that hour he used TO go down to the
docks, hunting; and he never failed to visit

FRANKFORT, KY, March 3-The DEM
ocratic Senate to-day passed the bill for
the appointment of a commission to hunt
down the person or persons who assassin
ated Governor Goebel and appropriating
100000 to carry on the work. The bill had
previously passed the House and now goes
to Mr.. Beckham for approval The Repub-
lican Senate, sitting in the same hall, took
no part in the proceedings.
The Johnson bill. amending the Goebel
election law by removing the party en-
blems from the ballots, was advanced in
the House to-day, and this is construed by
Democratic leaders to mean that this will
be the only amendment to the law at this
session. Henry Watterson has been strong
ly advocating the repeal or modification of
the law, asserting that such a step was
necessary to secure the united support of
the Democratic factions of the State, and
Senator-elect Blackburn has also favored
liberal amendments to the law, but il Is
now conceded that there will be no changes
at this session further than those in the
Johnson bill.
The shipments of guns and ammunition
to London. KY. is said by the Republican
State officials to be only for the purpose of
equipping State guard companies in that
section, and they pronounce as silly the
stories OF the Democrats that Governor
Taylor and other State officials are prepar-
Ing TO set up a government at that point
and begin proceedings against them. Gov
e-nor Taylor says there is no truth in such
reports.

SUCCESSFUL VENTURE.



Light System at Columbus.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
COLUMBUS, Ind, March "a recent re-
port to the Council on the citys electric
light plant demonstrates the fact that the
experiment of municipal ownership in this
direction has proved beneficial. Prior to
the establishment of the city plant nine
years ago the street lights supplied by a
private company cost the city In the neigh
borhood of SIS per lamp. moon schedule
The report shows that for the past nine
years the average cost per lamp per year
has been 1913. and the lights are burned
cloudy nights regardless of moon sched-
ule. 1t is estimated that the city has
saved something like $4,000 in electric
lighting since the establishment of the
plant No lights are furnished except for
street lighting purposes. and the plant is
water works system. which, under the last
Republican administration, became self
sustaining for the first time in its history
of about twenty-five years.
The favorable report from the electric
light plant Is being used as an argument
against the granting OF another thirty
year franchise to the Columbus Gas Light
and Coke Company, which has been asked
for. The gas company proposes to furnish
gas for $3.50 per 1000 cubic feet IL granted
the new franchise. The price paid now is
numerously signed asking the City Council
10 submit the proposition OF municipal
ownership of the gas making industry TO a
vote at the coming spring election.

The Pet Of the Pennsylvania Termin-
al Gone, without a Successor.

New York Evening Post.
Many of the commuters who pass through
the Pennsylvania Railroad station in Jer-
sey City every day have remarked the alb
sence of Sandy. the big red cat, from the
waiting-room and train shed. the officials
OF the company have missed him, even with
some sense of loss. they say. from the gen.
eral offices OF the building In the mornings.
The reason for Sandys absence from the
place that has known him increasingly for
many years is that he was run over and
killed In the train shed Only a few days
ago He was pursuing a rat; and one OF
the men said. Just like the other old en-
ployes. he got too careless"
This cat was a remarkable animal. He
was born in the station and lived there for
seven years. The points In which he was
remarkable over the ordinary cat were his
regularity of life and lis wide accuasnt-
aLce. He seemed TO take the baggage-room
az home. and heowas In every night by 10
o'clock 1t was also his habit to be stirring
about before o'clock, waiting for man
