union AGAINST UNION
CHICAGO'S RIVAL PRESSMEN'S Or
CARNATIONS ARE AT WAR.
Members of One Union Guarding a
Building frem Attack by
Strikers of Another Union.

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-Armed with revolvers
and sworn as deputy marshals, thirty union
pressmen employed in the printing plant of
r. r. Donnelly & Sons Company are guard
ing the building against attack from strik-
ing members of the Franklin Union of
Press Feeders.
The armed deputies are regular union en-
ployes of the company, all of them men,
bers Of local No. of the International
Pressmen's Union. Beside them work non
union men and girls, who have replaced the
members of Franklin Union, now on strike.
1t is union against union, and though no
serious trouble has occurred. the precaution
has been taken because OF threats that have
been made by Franklin Union members.
When the lockout against Franklin Union
was declared by the Chicago Typothetae,
two weeks ago, the pressmen were prepared
to organize a rival union of press feeders,
but their plan was never executed. They
refrained from taking any sympathetic &C
ton, however, and now they stand as off,
GERS of the law, barring the way of the
members of the Franklin Union.

AN ALLEGED CONFESSION
DETECTIVES PRETENDED TO BE
EARL ELSWORTH'S FRIENDS,
And Are Said to Have Induced Him to
Discredit Former Story of
Double Murder and Suicide.

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-Earl Ellsworth, aged
twenty-four years, was arrested here to-day
as the result of an alleged confession which
detectives obtained by pretending to be his
friends. Eighteen months ago, at Wood
stock, ILL.,, Benjamin Ellsworth, EarPs ia
Their, finding his wife in company with Amos
Anderson, shot and killed both, and then,
according to Earl Ellsworth, who gave the
police the story, the old man committed sui
eide. Earl admitted having advised his IA
Their to kill the couple, and at the time was
arrested as an accomplice, but was allowed
to go, public sentiment generally being in
his favor. An insurance company however
being liable for $4,000 insurance. which the
elder Ellsworth carried, decided to investi-
gate further. The talk which young Ellis
worth had with the detectives and which
was overheard by witnesses secreted i'm an
adjoining room, is said to have cleared Els
worth's mother OF the charge of faithless-
ness, and 10 have left open to doubt the
statement that the senior Ellsworth killed
himself 1t is said there was a conspiracy
10 obtain the insurance money, Earl Ellis
worth and two prominent citizens of Wood
stock being involved, and that young Ellis
worth's alleged conversation with his SUM-
posed friends, who claimed to be helping to
avoid impending arrest, leaves open to grave
question the statement that the killing of
Anderson and Mrs. Ellsworth was bv the
elder Ellsworth.

MUNCIE, Ind, Oct. 12.-The fight for
the Republican nomination to Congress} In
the Eighth district will be practically over
this year long before the day for the nomi-
mating convention draws near. This VIII
be the case because Of the nature of the
contest which has been started. George
W. Cromer, OF Muncie. the incumbent, has
an organization which no one man can
break and which no dark horse in con-
vention can stampede.
His opponents have adopted another
method to attempt his defeat. In each of
the counties of the district candidate for
the nomination will be announced. These
home candidates are now at work to get
control of the congressional delegation
from their respective counties. With the
delegation in his pocket any one of the
respective candidates can do what he
pleases when he walks into the convention.
Thus the opponents of Cromer expect to
form combination that will offset his
votes. AS they stand now the congressional
delegations from the various counties will
go to the convention pledged to stand by
the following candidates: Delaware for
Cromer. Wells for d. G. Swain, Madison
for M. NJ. Dunlap, Randolph for Theodore
Shockney. and it is very probable that Jay
county will support Frank Snyder, of Port
land, whose announcement is expected any
day.
Mr.. Cromer's lieutenants believe that the
futility of trying TO nominate 'favorite
sons" will soon become apparent and that
the Delaware county man VIII gain the
votes which for a time will hold out for the
home candidate.

FORT WAYNE, Ind, Oct. -12.-The trial
of the important case Of Frye VS.. the Fort
Wayne Gas Company is, now in progress in
the Circuit Court OF De Kalb county on
change OF venue from this county Judge
Rose presiding. The case grew out of the
explosion at Eckert's packing house on Jan.
% last. when seven persons were killed or
wounded. The accident was due to an un-
usual pressure of gas. which found weak
point in the pipes under the lard room and
upheaved the building as soon as the gas
rose 10 the burning jet.
The Frye case is one of n number in
which the packing house. the casualty COM
pany carrying it's policy and the casualty
company carrying the policy of the gas
company are deeply interested. Judge Zol-
lars. Barrett & Morris and j. W. Baxter

indemnity company carrying the packing
house risk for $4,000. The trial will be in
progress for ten days or two weeks.
The evidence thus far brought out CEN
tiers in interest chiefly on the statement of
the gas companyS Waterman that on the
day OF the accident he was sent TO the
regulator house. near the packing house
aud that he found broken meter, which
permitted the gas TO flow out with the noise
Of a steam valve on a locomotive. He
quickly turned off the gas. This, of course
threw the force of the pump working at
BIuffton against the service pipies one of
which broke and filled the cellar of the
packing house with gas.
