FIERCE FIGHT ON STREET CAR.
Battle With Pistefs in which Three
 Men nTn NAynSx s..a


 New York, Oct. 22-Throe men fought a battle with pistols on an Eighth Ave- nue car today and all of them were seriously injured. While the fight was being waged the car ran at top speed for half mile, with the gong sound ing an alarm and the passengers lying flat on the floor to escape the shower of bullets
 Thomas O'Brien. truckman, Jumped aboard the car at 31st street and clap- ping revolver to the conductors head ordered him to rfn the car full speed as he was pursued by a gang who intended to, kill him. A moment later two more men ieaped on the car and attacked the first. all three using re- volvers.
 When their weapons were empty they clinched and fought with the butts of their revolvers. The car rushed along the avenue, the motorman pound- ing the gong and the conductor shout ing for the police, as far as 26th street. where several policemen board ed and seized the three combatants, all of whom were too badly injured to offer any resistance. OBrien was found to have received bullet in the neck His assailants gave the names of Henry Prang and Thomas Sullivan. The former had been shot in the neck and the latter in the leg and arm.
 O'Brien refused to explain why the other two attacked him. The police think that the affray was the outcome of feud in a notorious West Side gang.

so indispensable as you think I'll let you go. No, come to think of 1t. won't throw you out I'll show you that I mean it when say I never mix social relations with my business, I'll send you down to We'll Valley and let you run the mine there. I'll make your salary on the percentage basis. If you get as good results as we got year before last I'll pay you what you're getting now. and pro rata if you get more or less. That'ii show you my general business can run without you and at the same time give you chance to make decent posi-. tion for yourself"
 Parish had smiled as he remember ed that the year before last referred to was the banner year at the mine and the manager had been paid nearly double the compensation now offered and also that the present conditions at the mine was very unsatisfactory and q new deal had been recognised as necessary to save time.
 But he had accepted the proposition cheerfuIly and gone into exile. Old Lounsberry chuckled greatly and took great credit to himself for not dis- charging the audacious young man forthwith. But he never spoke of the fact that Parish more than doubled the results of the banner year within A twelve month. Nor would he admit that Parish was anything more than a faithful but very ordinary sort of a clerk.
 Now Parish had never for an in stant given up hls intention to marry Grace Lounsberry. nor had Grace ever given up her handsome and ardent young wooer. They were biding their time. Something over ia year after Parish had been at the mine things commenced to happen.
 Everybody remembers the strike of 1897. Parish saw it coming and pre- | vailed against 1t. He made his pro- | visions personally and quietly. He | knew old Lounsberrys business prin- | cipIes. methods, weakness and habits l better than any living man---even bet l fer than old Lounsberry himself for old I.ounsberry was much given to | attempting to delude himself There fore Parish knew just what course to pursue. Only he made all his arrange ments in his own behalf instead of that of the company.
 When the strike came he boarded train one day and presented himself presently to the lady of his desires.
 Would she forsake all else and fol- low him
 But papa.
 Never mind papa. If you want his consent you will be an old maid and 1 a bachelor,
 But he will be fearfully angry.
 But he will recover.
 But he will dismiss you and then how will we live.
 No, remarked Parish at this point. looking mysterious 'I do not think he 1 will dismiss me. He cannot run the mine without me and it is just coin ing money now with all the others shut down. Your father, my dear. R

OPERATIVES WANT MORE
NOT SATISFIED WITH PROPOSED
 WAGE INCREASE. 2,
to Demand IA Per Cent Raise.
 Manufacturers Acting In Concert.

Fall River, Mass, Oct. 22.-The Fall River Textile Council, representing the organized cotton mill operatives of the city. decided to reject the offer made by the manufacturers association last week to advance wages five per cent and introduce a profit sharing plan. The council had requested the restora- tion of the reduction of 12 1-2 per cent, which went into effect July 25. 1904. No immediate trouble in the mills is anticipated, as the result of the disagreement, and it is said that further negotiations will be conducted during the coming week.
 The Textile Council had special session of two hours and half dur ing the afternoon and according to Secretary Taylor was unanimous that the council should insist upon a straight advance of slightly over four teen per cent. The secretary was in- structed to notify the association to that effect.
 After the meeting. Secretary Fay Tor said that the sentiment among the operatives against the manufacturers proposition was so strong that but one thing was left for the council to do and that was to reject the mill owners offer.
 The operatives are satisfied" said the secretary. that the present con- ditions warrant a full and complete restoration of the old rate of wages and will not be satisfied unless they receive what they ask for. The council will meet Tuesday evening and we hope at that time to have received favorable reply to our request. We have given the manufacturers an ex- tension of time and we hope they will appreciate our efforts"
 The members of the executive com mittee of the Manufacturers Associa- ton. when informed of the action of the Textile Council, said that the new scale would go into effect tomorrow in all the print cloth mills in the city. The committee had heard of no in- tention to change the policy adopted. as far as members of the committee were aware there had been no break and would be none in the ranks of the manufacturers.
 It is the general opinion here that the Textile ceuncis was, peFtlys~iffffa4 : enced to insist upon the restoration of the old rate by the action by Nj. c. D. Borden, of New York. owner of the Fall River Iron Works. where the full restoration will go into effect in the morning. The iron works, not being represented in the Manufacturers'

RumOr of His Illness Is Denied byDr.

Rome, Oct. 22.-A rumor spread through the city this morning that the Pope was i'll. Dr. Lapponi, his physi- clan. authorized the Associated Press to announce that the statement is in- exact" the Pope merely having a cold, so slight that it could scarcely be called an indisposition. Since his last attack of gout in January, His Holiness the doctor says. has enjoyed perfect health.
 Today the Pope received over 200 persons. The fact that these audiences have not been suspended is the best evidence of the Pope's good health.
