THE CITY NOT LIABLE.
Chicago Won't Pay For Damage to Railroad
Property in Strike Of "a.
(By the Associated Press.)


Chicago, Oct. 26.-Suits against the
city for damages to railroad property
during the strike in 1894 in which
more than S2,0O0,O00 is involved, were
virtually decided in the citys favor to-
day by a jury in Judge Hanecy's court.
A verdict of not guilty in the case of
Armour and Company against the city
of Chicago is interpreted by Corporation
Counsel Walker to mean that the litigat-
ing companies will not be able to re-
cover damages for the destruction of
railroad property during the great strike.
Witnesses for the city testified that the
burning of the cars and railroad property
was not done by mob but by individuals,
some of whom were employed by the COM
panies The case involved less than ST.
coo, but was looked upon as test of the
city's Liabilities.

Richmond. Va, Oct 26.-In personal
difficulty at Cuckoo, Louisa Co., today,
Captain w. B. Pendleton, one-legged
Confederate soldier and ex-member of
the Virginia House of Delegates, shot and
killed Mr.. VIM. Francisco. Both are of
Louisa.
The difficulty grew out of differences in
regard to adjoining lands of the parties
and there had been bad blood between
them for some time.
The latest news from the scene of the
shooting is that the men met in the pub
lie road and Francisco called Pendeton
an ugly name and drew a pistol. Pendle-
ton then drew his pistol and both be-
gan to fire. Francisco fired five shots;
Pendleton fired only one.

the shot that swept her from stern to

was to be the next victim. but just as
the Niagara's gunners were training

That is how Commodore Perry and the
Niagara gained the victory in the battle
of Lake Erie that has made his name
and his ship famous.
1t is interesting to note how the Mag
ara came into her present position.
In the autumn succeeding the battle of
Lake Erie, the greater part of the feet
commanded by Perry was ordered to
Erie to winter, the vessels including the
Lawrence, Niagara, Scorpion. Porcupine,
Tigress, Caledonia, Ohio, Amelia and
somers, and the ships were anchored in
small bay that makes into the PENN

reftted, took part in the expedition
against Mackinaw, again winning fame.
Upon her return, however, the Lawrence
was found to have been so greatly weak
eed by her encounter in the fight with
the British in the battle of Lake Erie
that she was condemned as unservice-
able. She was sunk along with the De-
troit and Queen Charlotte, captured
British ships. in Misery Bay. The Mag
ara continued in commission as receiv-
ing ship for several years, when she, too.
was sunk in Misery Bay.
The Lawrence was sunk In the north
western part of Misery Bay and the
Niagara in the northeastern. The Law
renee was in shallow water, and the re-
suit of this was that she became the vic
tim Of the relic hunter and, as already
stated gradually every portion of the
ship above water, and, indeed for some
distance beneath, disappeared.
Some believe the Niagara should be
housed in and converted intAa sort of
historic museum. Others are OF the
opinion that it would be better to restore
her and convert her into a school ship for
the use of the avail reserves on the
great lakes. Still ether think she should
be transported to Washington and put
on exhibition.
