RIOTERS IN A VICIOUS MOOD They Obstruct the Tracks, Throw Bricks, and Assault Drivers and Policemen Several Desperate Encounters Take Place.

Chicago, Oct. 9. When the street car strike an it was stated that no violence would be permitted and that no obstruct on other than that of moral suasion upon those who should take the strikers' place wouid be used to prevent the companies from running cars. So far as the strikers themselves are concerned, this promise seems to have been crrried out, but the bitterness of feeling toward the management of the lines appears to increase as time passes, and the contagion gives evidence of spreading to outsids elements iu the populat on which are not under the strikers' control. It is from this element especially that the po'ifce look for trouble.

Yesterday the crowds which congregated along the lines where cars were being run on the North Side contented themselves with hootiug, etc This was received with increased violence this morning, and this afternoon it developed into the placing of obs ructions on the tracks and collisions with the police. At Garfield avenue and Larrabee street a number of boys laid a large plunk across the tracks and fastened it securely by iron sp kes. The strikers ttiemselves took no part in the work but did not interfere with the lads. When six Garfield avenue cars came from their down town trip they were stopped by the obstacle. The strikers immediately surrounded the cars and commenced their appeals.

Under these influences three of the drivers left the cars and went over to the strikers. The seceders were borne on the shoulders of the crowd to a saloon, where iheir pockets were nil-d with cigars. The Buccess of this action led others to follow the boys ex ample and a riot at the corner of Garheld avenue and Orchard street. The streets were jammed with a howling mob and the tracks were covered obstrtfe-t ons. Some employes of the road and the officers removed the debris, but as fast as it was taken away it was replaced.

The mob became so great that the sergeant in command ordered a charge. The officers responded with a will end made a rusti, using their clubs freely. Men. boys and women were hit. A woman named Wide, who was pari icularly demonstrative against the new men, was badly hurt.

Three men who were caught spiking the rails at Halsted street were arrested. Altogether ab iut fir teen cars were run at irteguiar intervals on the North Side during the day. Everywhere the new drivers and conductors were greeted with hitses from the crowds which 111. ad the streets. Very few people rode in i he cars.

A disturbance on the North Side marked the ending the trip of the West Side cars tl.n evening. A dense mob obstructed the police laden cars on the down trip after passing Hals' ead street. Nothing serious happened until the cars were approaching the western terminus on the re: urn. There the crowd surged around tne conveyances in such a compact mass that it was impossible fur the horses to move. A platoon of police with clubs forced a way tor the leading car, but the one following was brought to a stop.

A wooden wedge had been suddenly inserted in the Western avenue switch by some person in the moo. Superintendent Na.le was the driver of the disabled car. He seemed to Le the object of special dislike from the strikers and their sympathizers. In a moment after the car stopped the vicinity ns a pandemonium. Stones and sticks were buried at the car and the air rang with jells and curses, and a flying brick caught tha superintendent in the stomach.

Uitering an oath, he pulled a revolver from his overcort pocket and turned menacingly toward the crowd. The conductor, Harris, who had b-en discharged by the company for cause, long before the strike, ut re-employed in the emergency quickly, followed the example of the superintendent. They were quickly disarmed by the police. Kagle left the car, and when off bis guard for a moment received a stunning blow on the jaw from a heavy built mm. A general scrimmage ensued in which Nagle and his brawny assailant were roughly handled.

The latter, a Chicago Northwestern switchman named Gleasoo, had to be mercilessly clubbed and then sat upon in the patrol wagon by half a dozen policemen before he could be subdued. Others were scarcely less determined, and but for the fact that all appeared to be uo-arm-d, the fray would scarcely have been finished without the saoritice of a number of lives, fofar as learned no one on either side was dangerously injured. One of the cars on the North Side came near going into the river to-day with its load of passengers, most of whom were women. There is a steep grade leading to State street bridge, and just as the car started down this incline the bridge began to turn to let a vessl through. The driver became panic-stricken and forgot how to use the brake, and the car moved with accelarating speed toward the open draw.

The women acr amed and fainted and some of them fell off the car. The bridge tender, at the risk of having the structure run into by the ap-proaohing vessel, closed the draw as quickly as possible, but only in time to catch the descending car whicj was on the brink.

The space in the court room ailoted to the general public was crowded to its full capacity to-day, when tbe new chief justice of the Supreme Court called up case 846, the United States against tbe American Bell Telephone Company. Solicitor General Jenks aBked that four Lours be allowed each side in which to present their case This being agreed to, Judge Thurman, after consultation with his associates, placed hit cane on the table, and, drawing from his pocket the familiar ol 1 bandana and bis snuff-box, placed the latter on the table in front of him aad began bis argument for tbe government. His voice was low and husky at the start, but soon gathered strength and remained clear and strong to tha close of his forty minute speech. His manner of speaking was plain, simple and dire: and in bis chou of words he used homely Anglo axon that was as intelligible to the laity present as to the learned justices themselves. Judge Thurman closed his argument at ten minutes past 1 o'clock and left the court room a few minutes later, after Jeff Chandler, also government counsel, had begun his argument.

James J. Storrow followed in an urgu-ment for the Telephone Company. The ase under argument to-day gruws out of a suit brought by Acting Attorney General Jenks in the Circuit Court of the United States for the strict of Massachusetts, to have canceled two patents granted Alexander Gra-Iiem Be 1, as inveutor tbe telephone, on the ground that the patents were obtained by fraud. The Bell Company entered a demurrer to this suit, iu wi.ich they main-sained among other things that in tbe ab-tence of any specific stutule tbe Uni'ed States had no power to maintain a bill in equity to cancel a patent for an invention. The Circuit Court held that this point was well taken, but furthermore ruled that even were the court not to go to this extreme lenetli, the demurrer must be sustained on tbe ground that the main questions raised against the validity of Bell's patent couid be advanced in an infriqgement suit, and thut the attorney generiF1 could not bring a aui.

to cancel a patent on grounds which constitute a defence in m'ricgm Lt cases. The esse comes to the Supreme Court on appeal from this decision. Conference of Republican Senators. Washington, Oct. 9.

An informal conference of Republi -an senators was held this morning to talk over the general situation, and re especial to arrange the course of debate on the tariff bill. The results were meager, owing to the doubt everywhere entertained whetber a quorum of tbe Senate can be held in Washington should the tariff debate be protracted beyond next week. A dozen or more senators were named who desire to maker speeches, and a list of Republicans was started which so far includes tl.e names of Hiscock, Cullom, Piatt, Spoouer, Aid-rich and Teller. The desire of a number of natorg, however, to get away is very strong, and with the system or pairs pre vailing in the Senate, and always rigidly adhered to, every absentee reduces the vot-. ing force by two.

In cons dering these matters it became apparent that there would be great difficulty in keeping a voting quorum to act upon amendments and finally upou the bill. No action was taken in the conference and no definite policy was sketched, but there is reason to believe that if tbe Senate finds itself for any length of time without a quorum, either an adjournment nine die or a recess fur several weeks wi.l be taken. It therefore now seems provable that Ibis session will practically come to an end next week or early the week after, and that the tariff bill will be left for final action 'after election day. Bond Purchases. Washington, Oct.

9. Secretary Fair-child to-day purchased $7,122,000 worth of bonds. To-day's purchase of bonds is the largest amount purchased in any one day since the issue of tbe circular of April last, calling for proposals for the sale ot bonds to the government. There was no increase iu the price paid to-duy over that paid yesterday, so that the principal significance of the transaction seemed to be that many holders of bonds are willing to sell them at present rates rather than wait for a raise. It is estimated at the Treasury Department that the heavy disbursements made during tbe pat few days have further reduced the treasury surplus to about 78, -000, 000.

All Over Wyoming County Programme of the Campaign in Indiana Political News From Various Points. Special Dispatch to the Dimocrat axd Chrovici.k. Warsaw, N. Oct. 9.

This has been a gala day for Warsaw. Muddy streets and chilling winds could not cool the enthusiasm of Wyoming county Republicans. Clubs were present from Attica, Rock Glen, Perry Center, Perry, Pike, Gainesville, Silver Springs, Castile, Covington, Buffalo, Jouu soasburg, Wyoming and Farmersville. There was a fine parade at 2:30 P. M.

Hon. Warner Miliar arrived this morning and is the guest of Hon. J. Humphrey. A serious attack of neuralgia gave Mr.

Miller great discomfort, but nevertheless he made a ringing speech. Mr. Milier was welcomed with tremendous entbus asm, which seemed to nerve him to make a longer speech than be bad contemplated. His subjects were the protective tariff, temperance reform and ballot He said in opening his speech Ladies and gentlemen It gives me great pleasure to be here, and to see so many thousands of citizens in attendance at a political meeting on such a bleak, cold day. It testifies to the earnestness of Republican feeling in Wyoming coun y.

But that earnestness is not limited to Wyoming county. Eveiy where that I have been the past three weeks making speeches, at Plattaburg, at Eimira, at at TJtica, at Oswego, at Geneseo, everywhere I have had the delight of beholding large Republican meetings. The other Republican speakers that I meet give the same testimony of iarpe Republican gatherings. This is highly encouraging. It shows that the Republican party is keenly interested in the present content, that it is not apathetic, and that it thinks it can win.

1 promised the Republican party, when I was nominated for governor, that, 1 would make at least one speech in every one of the counties of the sta.e. I huve now visited half of them, and it my strength hoids out I shall certainly redeem my promise, for four weeks yet remain of the con est. 1 shall i diaappoiutad if I do break down, because I hold that it is the of a man who is a candidate for the high position of governor of the great state of itw York to show himself befure the people and give them a chance to estimate his ability. "It so happens ihat in this state this fall there are two state issues of almost equal importance with the great national issues, and it may be said that on many points state lamas touch the peop.e much more closely than national ones. The state issues which I refer to are temperance reform and ballot reform.

The Republican state convention adopted a platform approTing of the high license bill which Governor Hid vetoed, and pledging that it would pass a high license law if entrusted with the executive and the legislative power. Upon that platform I was nominated, because it was known iu advance that 1 would not accept the Ropubli can nomination fur governor unless that i-sue was made squarely and strongly. There are people who refuse to do anything for temperance reform unless they can abolinh all liquor Belling. The people who wait to see the sale of liquor wholly stopped will probably never see that day, for we all know that prohibition is not enforced in any city of the United Btates. Are we to stand Idle and do nothing! Some people propose to defeat any temperance reform legislation until the eviis of liquor selling grow to such an enormous height that the people will rise up and destroy the entire liquor traffic.

Those are peculiar ethics. It is the old doctrine about doing evil that good may come. But the Republican party, on the contrary, proposes to do what it can now to reduce drunkenness. That is, if it cannot do all te-day, it will do what it can. Prohibition wi'l not come by making people drunkards.

Governor Beaver tells me the high license system has diminished the saloons ia Pennsylvania from 14, 000 to 7, 000. Has not some good been accomplished by that reduction Would you not prefer to have been among the men who voted for the restriction of the liquor trade, rather than among those who, affecting a greater virtue, tried to prevent that restriction Mr. Miller closed his speech by criticising Governor Hill for favoring the abolition of the duty on salt, and said that the Warsaw salt makers saw that if the duty was abolished either the salt works must be closed or the wages of the salt makers must be reduced to a level with those of European salt makers. Fifteen hundred people listened to an eloquent address by Judge Tourgee at the rink, and Professor B. Smith spoke to a large audience at the Opera House.

The celebrated Morton Quartette of Malone, N. Y. sang at both placea The ladies of Warsaw served an abundant and excellent supper at the armory to all the visiting clubs. The grandest demonstration Warsaw has ever seen took place this evening. Fully 1, 600 men were in line, including bands and drum One hundred of Warsaw's men were on horse aack.

The League Battalion of Buffalo with 1 1 5 men and Seventy-first Regiment Banj, made a magnificent appearance, but did not by any means put our fine Wyoming county clubs to shame. The procession passed through ail the principal streets, which were thronged with people. All the Republican houses along the line were illuminated and decorated. Mr. Miller reviewed the clubs from the upper balcony of Mr.

Humphrey's house and made a short speech, which was received with great enthusiasm. The Malone Quartette saug delightful y. It is estimated that the crowd in town numbered over five thousand. Political Programme in Indiana. IswaXapolis.

Anitistox, Oct. 9. Yesterday afternoon an attempt was made to assassinate W. H. Edmonds, the editor of the Hot Blast, in his office.

The trouble grew out of enmity aroused among the lawless class in consequence of the vigorous war waged by the iiof Blast in favor of a rigid enforcement of the Prohibition laws. A week ago four ex. -policemen who had been discharged for inefficiency waylaid Editor Edmonds and beat him severely, he making such resistance as be could. An outrageously false account of the affair was sent to the Montgomeay Dispatch, reflecting severely upon Mr. Edmonds, who replied through the Dispatch pronouncing the author a liar and charging him with cowardice in sending forth such a falsehood unsigned.

It developed that the correspondent of the Dispatch was J. Lawrence, a justice of the peace. This afternoon Lawrence accomi a tiied by William Lacy, entered the li Blast office, in whicn at the time were Mr. Edmonds, John Cop pell, the mailing clerk, and Mr. Tripney, who had come in on business.

Lawrence called Edmonds outside, where some conversation was bad in reference to the communication, and Lawrence demanded a retraction of Edmonds's card pronouncing him a liar. Edmonds said there was not i-ing to re ract, aud Lawrence advanced towards him. Lacey inquired if Edmonds was armed, to which a negative reply was made, when Lacey said, ''Neither ia Lawrence, at the aame time trying to get behind Edmonds, who bewail to hack into his office. As he partially turned fire was opened upon him. He was shot in the left arm at the elbow and seriously wounded.

Lacey attempted to shoot again but bis pistol snapped, which probably saved Mr. Edmonds's life. Tne would-be assassin then fired on Mr. Coppeli and Mr Tripney. The former was shot through the neck and the latter received two wounds In the head, both serious.

The parties escaped, but were subsequenrly captured and turned over to the sheriff and taiten to Jacksonville, Ala. The feeling in th; city is intense, and strong talk of lynching has ean in ulged in. Mr. Edmonds ia doing well, and it is hoped that no serious rasuits wi.l fuliow his The shooting of Mr. Coppeli and Mr.

Tripney was malicious and unprovoked. Tonight the city is in a tumult of excitement and indignation. HOW THE BETTING RUNS. Remarkable Scarcity of Democratic Money for Election Wagers. Special Dispatch to the Democrat and Cbroniclk.

New York, Oct. 9. The Democratic betting men who have had assess to Bill Scott's money the past week, and have put up (30,000, at (3, 000 and even $10,000 bets, are not willing to-night to take odds which are offered by Republicans. Ex-Sheriff Albert Daggett of Brooklyn, was looking for some one who had the necessary financial backing to his political convictions to put up $95, 000 against the $100, 000 Mr. Daggett was willing to raise upon the general result between tbe two presidential candidates in favor of General Harrison.

Mr. Daggett was earnest, energetic and hopeful of finding some ardent believer iu Cleveland who would meet him in his very generous offer, but up to ten o'clock had not succeeded. He did not insist upon the amounts, or odds, and offered to put up fifty thousand against forty thousand upon the same issues, but there were no takers. Mr. Daggett, who is an astute politician, is confident that the Democracy are in such condition that they canoot meet the issue with success to themselves, and he is willing to risk the enormous sum mentioned above, after his close and careful study of tbe situation.
