Twenty-Eve armed and masked horsemen and a wagen loaded with men and a battering ram ap-, pesred In front of tbe Jail, moving with strict military discipline under orders from a bold and sbilifufleader.

Vumroy ttrad three guns of alarm from the wtadowa and JdeKaaile's voice waa heard la aa unnatural terrifying cry. Shots through bis window quieted him. Mounted pickets were placed about tbs block, designated uy numbers, and with soldierlike demeanor ap-prtMwbltitf rltlMns wsre quietly arreated. but permitted to observe the proceedings under guard. Under the blows of the battering ram tbe Iron doors gave way.

Tbe keys were fonnd, and tbe work of unlocking proceeded as by men famtltar with tna details. McKenile waa beard to exclaim If there are any Old soldiers among you let tbem step forward first." He was tied and a rope thrown around his neck. His lotenoe nerve and grit did not forsake him. He talked with the mob a ther took him dowa stairs and across the etreet to a maple tree: aeked -them to give bis watch to his wife, and protested tbst be did hot Intend to kill Rlggs.

Those -boycotts call attention to the rrowln? use or abuse of tbe boycott by the Knigbta of Ls.Mr. Laat June the measure was vigorously denounced by General Matr Workman Powderly yet there are a unured-f old more boycott now in operation than ever before, and far fimater liberty Is allowed Iu this direction to ocai and district assembles tban formerly. It Is well known tbat Mr. Powderlv haa radically changed bis oppoaltlon to boycotting Into advocacy.

Interview with Messrs. Carlton. MoGuire. and Avleswortb, of tbe General Hoard, show a complete conversion of sentiment on their part since last June. Mr.

Carlton said: "Tbe rule passed at tbe Cleveland convention prohibiting the exercUe of boycott Is not binding any more as a pcrmaneut law. At the iucntaona convention it was neither continued nor annulled, and It now stands as a dead letter. It can bo followed or not lust as the asemblles mar desire, and no notice Is taken of Its violation. It Is regarded merely as a rule which the exigencies of tbe times have lod tbe leaders ot the order to abandon." Mr. McGulresald: "The law passed at the Cleveland convention is in operative now, and this is the reason As soon as tbe edict to cease boycotting went forth from Cleveland the capitalists of tbe country took ad-vautaga of our position and commenced an offensive warfare upon us." Mr.

Aylenworth said: Unscruuulous canitallMs; everv where. seeing tbat we Lad throwu aside be valuable weapon of tbe boycott, eclaod it at once and began using It against our members. At the Richmond convention that rule against boycotting was therefore gagged aud allowed to dls a natural death, and It hasn't been revived sines. THE CHICAGO PLAYHOUSES.

Chicago, April 3. When the political history of the ysar of grace 1887 la written there 111 be few more remarkable events recorded therein tban the fall of Carter Harrison. Mayor or Chicago, possible candidate for Bens tor Ul, Gubernatorial, or Vlce-Presldsntlal honors, boss bf tba Democratlo party la this olty and of aa Influsntlal portion of the party in tba State.

In a little more than one short week Harrison, as a political factor. as as entirely disappeared aa though be had never existed, and tbe party which lias for sight years ruled the city has temporarily passed Into oblivion. Tbe olty organisation baa besa lost aud there has srfsen a political situation unprecedented in some respects, and peculiarly Inter- eetlng to tbe thoughtful student of tbe scisnce of politics. It Is worth while to contribute to history a brief statement of tha causes which have produced this condition ot affairs, and a descrip tion of tbe sltustlon itself. Tbe Government of this city Is perhaps si per fect sn illustration of the theory of home rule as can be found In the United States, Practically tho only restriction placed upon tbe local administration of the Municipal Government Is a statutory provision limiting the rates of assess ment and taxation.

Tbe Mayor is tbe head of the City Government, vested with absolute power of removal and appointment, unbampeied by itii service ruie or any restraint savs that his own conscience. Quite an uulon carrying with it such gftat power Is of peculiar value to a party or to an ambitious nolltlulan. The reel! retina In the city tbls year 90.0(H). hut tbe vote nu- uy cast is rrom vu.wu to Hti.uuo. Tbeso votss are divided between four parties tbe Republican, Democratic, Labor, and Prohibition ta latter amounting to les tban 1.000 and cutlir but little figure.

Iu tbe election last Fall ths vote cast waa. In round number: KenuMlcan. Democratic. tfVi.OOO; Labor, 19,000. The election was for county inner, but tire fig ure given represent tbe vote Iu the rlty.

lu the nreoAUt Ctiuina irn the Labor Purtv waa tbe firt to put a oandidate In tbe field. Its con vention wasdomiuated ty tbe Socialistic element In the party, and Its ticket was comtMiaol of man either openly or secretly ldeutlfled with that element, with Robert Nelson, a machinist, as a andidate for Mayor. Tba Keoublicans followed and plaoed at the head of their ticket John A. Hoc be. a gentleman who has been a resident of Chicago a good many years and a memlier of the State Legislature, but wbo was little outside of tbe business circle into which bis work as ths representative here of some Eastern manufacturers took him.

His reputation was, however, very good. Tbe Prohibitionists bad In the meantime nominated a ticket, and there remained only tbe Democracy to put candidates 'In the field. In considering candidate ror tbe Mayoralty the name of Mayor Harrison was more frequently mentioned than tbat ot any other prominent Democrat Mr. Uarrlson is a man of stmus- uersonalltv and great ambition. Ha loves power for the sake of exercising It, and In the eight years be has been Mayor hs has sought to build up his own political fortunes.

His appointments bare been made to tbat eud and very oftcu regardless of tbe Interests of tba public. lie believed that he had built up around blm a persoual party which was mors Uarrlsonlan than Democratlo. and It was the genersl opinion of uuoreludloea observers that hi fultb was well grounded. Tba Mayor bad said tbst be wuu not acoent a ranom Ination, but his friends understood tbat to mean tbat be would not sesk one. Ills friends sought It for him, and wben tba convention met he was nomlusled by acclamation.

Its appeared before tbe convention and positively declined the nomination. Retiring from the ball, be returned in a few minutes and' said hs had cbanaed his mind and would accept. The Democratic press ot the olty long ago gave up trying to a polo trite for Mayor Harrison acts, ana sincerely hoped tbat be would not be nominated, or If bs were tbat he would not consent to ran. Its disappointment was great and it bitterly attacked the Mayor. and unanimously announced tbat It would not aid blm.

In tbe eyes of most good citlxens the presence of Harrison at the head of the City Govern ments considered a aisgrace to tne city, popular Indignation over his renomlnatlon rose to fever beat, aud the Mayor waa falny driven from tbe ticket He again declined to run, and tbe convention waa called together for the sec ond time. A committee of fifty was appointed to find a candidate, aud delegated tbe work to a aub-commlttee of five. Tbe latter offered the nomination to various men, but found nobody who would accept It Brewer McAvoy did consent to run, but, aftsr a consultation with Mr. Harrison, cbaAgnd hi mind snd refused to go ou tbe ticket It Is generally believed that tbe com mittee of five, wblt'b was made up of Mr. Har rison's friends, did not want to find a raudldate, preferring that there Should be none If the Mayor could not run.

ucu iuib invi tun iub luriuer laoi mat mere wa to be no Democratic candidate In tbe field was brought out tha better class ot Drniocrsts sow for tbs first time tbat there was danger of the election ot the labor ticket, and tbat the Mayor desired tbat result. The linmlneisve of so great a calamity, broke down party lines, and tbe Democratic leaders. Including many of those wno were supposea to do uouna to narnsou with books of steel, turned to Mr. Roche as the only man who could save the city from the threatened disaster. The latter nail lu tbe meantime developed unexpected qualities as a candlaute.

Though unaccustomed to publlo speaking it was found tbat be know bow to talk when ou his feet end that be bad a tuanly, straightforward way which mode a good Impression. His chances were growing bettor, but tbe situation a far from secure. The Socialists knew very little about nractlcal Dolltlo il work, but the knew how to drive men lu labor organization to the support of their candidate, and tbelr strength wa as suming alarming proportions. At tbls luooture Mr. Harrison made a bold effort to turn his party over to the support of Nelson, advising his ad herent to wore against Mr.

uocue. As soon a the Mayor meaning became clear bl friends left blm as fhonirh be bod been strick en with a plague. The personal -party" dlasp- pearea use aow uerore toe sun ana tne Mayor was left alone. Like a naan tnere came tne ruin which bis corrupt mauairement of the affairs in tbe city and his self-seeking hsd been preparing. Tbe eyes of the men wno nad blindly followed blm foryr ars were opened and they saw blm as he is.

The men whose political fortunes be bad made turned from htm In dtsirust and political death fell upon blm. His degradation la so com- Uiete mat it is almost iniuui. A week ago Mr. Rocbe was one of a probable three candidates. To day be Is the representative of law and order as against tbe men who would throttle tbe law" and ruin tbe city.

Citlxens or every party save tbe Horlallst have roll lod to hla support, and bis election la believed to be assured. It Is a aiuar light between law-abiding citlxens on one side ana Socialists on the other. Democrats are vlelng with Republican lu work for Mr. Roche. It I au Ideal sltuallou.

Party line ara swept away, and tha one thing desired la gooa government. The action of Police Superintendent Kharsold and the Police Captains In oebly retueting tbe memners or tne inroe to vote against eociai- 1st Nelson has been tbe subject of a good deal of favorable comment to-uey. cniei r.itersoiu ao retard his remarks to tbe day aquad in the central detail of tbe City HalL I wont you to "remember that next Tuesdsy Is election, boys." be said. and tbe men wbo killed our comrades at the Hay market are trying to capture tbe Government.

John Grady convloted In Cambria County on a charge of larceny a little over a year ago and placed In the Penitentiary on a short sentence. The boy was not of age at tha time, and ballad from Johns town, where hi life had been one of hardship.

A few months afur his Incarceration a relative died and left tbe youug man a fortune' of $16,000. A guardian waa appointed and the prisoner waa notified of his luck.

Kveu a freight car oould not be obulned to carry the corpse over.
