xvi ij jio m. i WHOLkv XOi! JJ4 i 4:30 O'CLOCK BALLOT BATTLES: CONTEST AT CUICAOO TO DAY. i 1 Tbe Kepaollcmo Candidates niected 'Great Labor Vote in Cincinnati No Prohibition lu iOiehigau. fapertal to The IiHllanaooUa New ij Chicago, April "5. One of the miwt remarkable municipal contest? that Chicago has ever experienced in tbe half century of her history when the polls were 'opened at o'clock this morning, i For eight years past the democracy ha held the reins of the city government, aud, like Dick Wbittington of old.

Carter Harrison, when lie stieps down and out, will be able to read in the bells the valedictory "Farewell, thou four tiiues mayor ot Chicago." And yet. after four terms of rule, and with almost certain victory before it for at least two years more, the democratic party, less than a week ago, became so completely demoralized through'its inability to liud a standard bearer "to fill Harrison saoes, that to day it is without ticket iu tbe field, and the republicans alone are left to do battle with the labor socialistic element. It is this fact w'hich makes the contest one of more than risual significance. Itebcrt Nelson the laluir candidate for mayor is ao iron molder and master workman of the district assembly of the Knights of Labor. Personally, he has no particular official atliliatibtis.

with the socialists, but the very fact that the socialistic element is iu full control ofythe united labor party and that two ot his associates ou the ticket are avowed socialists of the ultra type, have given tha. republicans the opportunity of raising; the cry of "down twith the red flag" and the election has resolved itself into a tight between the commercial, industrial andbuViuess interests and the trades unionists, socialists and anarchists. It is expected that the hulk ol the democratic party will vote the republican ticket, although the labor men claim that thev will receive considerable. support from that quarter. Kx citement over the contest has been at fever beat for the past' week and both sides ure working earnestly this morning to fiet their supporters to thuipolis.

A en re Jul analysis ot the situation indicates that tlio labor party will poll almost liti.tRM votcs.and that Johu A. Koche, the republican candidate tor mayor, will poll from to 40,000. Beta are being freely ottered this morning that his majority will be at least fifteen tuousand. The police fare working' hard for Roc tie, in accordance witii semi etticial orJdrs issued by Chief of Police Ebersold, In which they were urged to i. remember the massacre of May 4 last, and to do their most to admin i inter a crushing defeat to the supporters of anarchy.

Altogether the contest is a very interesting one aud will lully demonstrate the extent of the hold which the socialists have upon the trades union element of the metropolis of the west. By noon, fully one half and, in some of the wards, two thirds of the entire registered had! been cast. This would indicate that the total city vote will reach' probably 75,000 and possibly 83,000. While there have been iarge crowds nt the polling p.laces, no erioua violence has been reported, ami the election promises to be an unusually peaceable one. jTbe labor party will poll a large rote in the filth, sixth, seventh aud fourteenth wards, but iu other wards the showing ot the party will be very mall.

Iq the eleveuth aud twelfth ward, except in a few precincts, the voting is almost solid for the republican ticket, democrats aud republicans voting it without reserve. In oue precinct, where Ho votes had been cast up to noon, out of a total registration of 2o0, oniy three labor tickets bad been cast. In the outlying wards the labor ticket is ahead in some instances, but at no polling place is the preponderance of the labor vote overwhelming, as is the case of the' republican ticket in tue strong republican wards. The republican party managers at noon claimed that Koche, tor mayor, would have a majority of from 15,000 to 20.000. 3 O'Clock At this hour, within one hour of the closing of the polls, it is estimated that 70,000 votes have been polled.

The absolute deleat of the labor ticket is assured, but the estimates as to the majorities, are conjectural aud varv widely. While the labor and so cialistic leaders have made claims that they would poll iUjU'iti votes, it is certain that the vote will tall below 30,000, aod the claim is even madn. thatthe will not oast to exceed 20.1XH) vote, as the total showing of the party strength. Very few democrats have voted the labor ticket, and while some have remained away from the polls, the support of the republican ticket by the democrats has been as hearty as by the re publtcaus thetnsidves. In the fourteenth ward, which is' a socialistic stronghold, and wi.iou labor managers claimed their party would carry by lrom 3,000 to majority.

Las unnuubiedly gone republican. The showing of the other wards olaira by the socialists is almost eqnallv disastrous. It An regarded as doubtful whether or not the I bor party will elect more than two alder mu, and that this will be the extent of the showing the party will be able to make. At 3 o'clock bets were made that the republican ticket wauld be elected by 25,000 majority. (Jreaf, I abox Vote in Cincinnati.

There was' a meeting of the sub committees of the school board last evening to canvass means ot retrenchment in the finances, and while no positive action seems to have been taken, it was the sentiment of the majority present to dispense with the teaching of German in the primaries a one step in that direction.

It js expected tbat the matter wiil be called tip by some individual member of tbe board at the regular meeting to morrow evening, and that a majority of the commissioners will favor it. It is said tbe majority would be quite pronounced but for the legal aspects of the matter, and a belief that if the board vote to dispense with the instruction that it will be met with injunction proceedings to compel the observance ot the Jaw upon this subject.

disposition, however, to assume the responsibility, and by so doing, test the legality of tbe act under which this special class of instruction ia demanded. Board of Trade Matters.

Tickets of Thirty Road Tarned to tha "Wall A Sensational Movement It Grows out of the Com mi Ml on Pitts Br 5. E. A. Ford, general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania company, has issued a circular addressed to all ticket ageuts of the Pennsylvauia lines west of Pittsburg, which reads: "Tickets described below are hereby ordered off sale, taking effect at midnight April 1 4. 1387, and after that hour you will not sell a through ticket any portion or coaKn of which reads over any part or division of either of following named railroads 'or railway or line's until further notice." i The roads' boycotted by Mr.

Ford are the Boston Albany; Burlington, Cedar Rapids Northern; Canadians Pacific; Central, of Georgia; Central Iowa; Central Vermont; Chicago Alton. Chicago A Northwestern; Chicago, Burlington Jc (Juincr; Chicago, Rock island Pacific; Delaware Hud sou Canal: company; Denver Rio Grande; Denver Rio Grande Western; Chicago, Paul, Minneapolis Omaha; DesMoiues fc Fort Dodge; Detroit Cleveland Steam Navigation Company; Hannibal St; Jo; Illinois Centra); Indiana, Bloom ingtou Western; Kansas Ciiy, St. Jo.

Kansas Texas; Missouri Pacific; Northern Pacific; Rock Island A Peoria; St. Louis, Iron Mountain 3c Southern; St. Paul, Minneaoiis Manitoba; Central, and Wabash, St. LouisJc Pacific (west of the (Mississippi river only). There is probably no line other than the Pennsylvania in the United States that would have ordered the tickets of so many strocg'lines as are included in the above list turned to the tt all.

The lines boycotted by the Pennsylvania aompiuiy are, ot course, in a poaitiou to retaliate, and will doubllevs order the Peunsvlv.iuia company' ticket turned to the wall in their offices. the tariff a made up to comply witti the provisions the iuter state commerce law, what is known as circular letter was seut out to all the coaJs in tbe United States setting forth certain conditions, that must be complied with and agreements that must be lived up to if the company receiving circular letter A desired to have its tickets' sold, or tickets with coupons reading over its line sold in the offices of tbe lints member ot the Inte Central' Tratho association aud Trunk Line pools. It was stated in circular letter A that if a reply accepting the terms of the agreement as contained in the circular was not received, would be considered that the road, falling to signify its acceptance ot the terms, did not desire to have its tickets represented in the ticket cases of the roads in tbe Central, Traffic association and trunk line territory. Tbe roads boycotted by the Pennsylvania company are those that failed to signify that they accepted the terms as' promulgated by circular letter A. Tha result of the action taken by the Pennsylvania company will be looked for villi interest.

i The Itule Will lim Enforced. New York April 3. iDespite the scoffs of those who have watched the hitherto futile attempts of the great railroad companies to do away with ticket scalpers, the trunk lines seem to enforce the recent order stopping the payment of ticket commissions. To day, at a meetiug at. the.

office of Commissioner Fink, the general passenger agent of the Trunk; lines decided not to issue any through tickets over huy connecting lines which refused to join in the compact or fails to enforce the new rule. There were present Meiisrs. J. 11. Wooxl, "of the Pennsylvania; W.

F. Hoi will, of the Delaware, Lacks watna Western; Henry Monett, ot the New York Central; E. Talbot, of the West Shore, aad L. V. Farmer, of the Erie.

An Explanation. PlTTSErRG, April 5. Chief Assistant General Passenger Agent F. Van Dusen, of the Pennsylvania company, stated to day, that the impression that the Eastern association bad twenty nine western railroads was erroneous. "Such talk," said he, nonsense.

The lines over which through ticket are not being sold are simply waiting lor tbe advice of their counsel. Our company has already the consent to sell through ticket over a large number or connecting road. In instances where through tickets have been withdrawn, it is merely temporary. Tbe tickets will be' reinstated as soon as lesal Hdv' ii fiven to hv us not as neents of each tf the different roads. We have received authority from several additional western roads this morning.

"Circulars will be issued to day to sell through tickets over such lines." The lines giving authority to the Pennsylvania company include the Chicago the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Cuiua lur.nuiou fc Quincy and the Union Pacific railroads. KfTecta ot tlie Law, Through traffic, originating on the lice of the Indianapolis, Decatur Springfield road and perhaps on other lines iseotirely suspended for the time being." It all grow out of the unsettled condition precipitated by the enforcement of the inter state commerce law. A little arithmetical calculation will illustrate the condition things are in. The rate on grain from Indianapolis to New York i 23 cents per hundred pounds.

The rate from Decatur, 111., to New York, via Indianapolis, Is 27 cents. The rate from Decatur to' Indianapolis is 9 cents. It Is clear therefore that shippers can not first bill their grain on a local rate to Indianapolis and then reship from this city to tbe sea coast without losing money; tor the fum of tne two rates paid would be 32 cents, whereas the one through rate i only 27 from of origin of the grain. The shipper must therefore bill through from the local atauon or not hip at all. The latter horn of the dilemma ia thrust upon D.

S. shippers for the reason that the D. S. ha no eastern outlet, and has aa yet been unable to obtain a connecting ally oiit of this city that will take the grain brought in off of. the D.

Sc S. at an; acceptable rate. AU tbe business of the road has theretore been localized until connection can be foruied. Traffic Manager Ybzanis has goue to Cincinnati to seek an adjustment with the II. D.

The new law will doubtless interfere with the profits of elevator companies, and all middlemen, for the reason cited, it will l.e.profitable for grain producers to ship first, to tbe largecenter and thedce forward on to destination. Through business wilt doubtless without top, whether it originates at Vincennes, Decatur, Indianapolis, or any other point. It I ha been reported on the" street that the B. Jc W. has declined to accept through business from points on its Peoria branch and would attempt to compel all siiippers on tbat road to ship on local rate to Indianapolis thence on the throueb rate ko the This is emphatically denied by tbe general manairer of the road.

The' new commerce, law came in at midnight last night with a dull thud. To give up special rate passes, and ail (ecial privileges ia awful, but it is as nothing compared with the frightful deprivation to which the public is subjected by au order received by passenger agents to day. "To all California rates add 0 ceuts" is "the cry. New Railroad Articles ot incorporation have been filed of the SL Louis Jr. Cincinnati railroad company, which proposes to build a road from Columbus, through the counties of Bartholomew; Brown, Monroe, Owen, Greene and Sullivan to.

State Commissioner CodlfU the Law anf Seek to Bring A boat an Enforcement, Fish Commissioner Reed has been to tha trouble oi collating tbe fish law of the state, and he is distributing the same with a view toward aa enforcement of the penalties prescribed for violations. The last session ot the legislature did not touch tha question, and so the statutes remain the same a they did following tbe adjournment in Tha first Indiana law, looking to the protection of fish, was approved June 14, 1852, and it prescribed penalties for stretching nets aero tbe tnnulhs of street running into this river, to prevent the ascent of fish, or their egress, and for poisoning theio. An aot wa approved March IS67, defining the tinie whea fish ni'ight be trapped, netted or seined, and this act was still further strengthened ia 1S71.

"Ehe laws aithey now exist, aud aa embraced in the revised statutes, make it tk finable' offense to spread a net across tha mouth of any stream emptying into tbe Ohio river, to prevent the ascent or descent of fish; provides a pcuaity ranging from $10 to $20 against any person who shall throw any deleterious thing in the water with the intention of poisoning tbe fish, aud drugs, medicated bait, eoculous indicus and lnh berries, are especially prohibited. It is also unlawful to trap or sjiear fish daring tha months ot March, May, November and December of each year. There i a pro i Vision in Ibis section permitting persous to seine for minnows to be used foshait, the seitic leing limited to fifteen feet in length, and there is an exception made in favor of tha Ohio river at any time, aud of the St. Joa and Kankakee river between the first days of April and June. Another section xxpresaly prohibits the use of gill net, or other sava a minnow seine, and any one who put dynamite, giant powder or other explosive ia any ot the waters is liable to a punishment calling tor $200 fine, to which may be added imprisonment in the county jail.

It is also a punishable offense to shobt, spear, gig, or in any manner kill fish on or hear any fish ladder constructed by the state, save and except by hook and line, and it i provided that prosecution may be brought by any person in the name of the state before any peace justice, or before any court of competent jurisdiction, and it is made tha duty of prosecuting' attorneys to see that the provision of the fish law arts enforced in "their rc pective counties. Ia March, 1877, an act was approved for tha construction of a fish ladder over tbe dam across St. Joseph river, and there is also a general act, approved March 5, 1833, providing for the construction and repairs of fish ludders wherever the same may ba needed, and it i made the duty the township trustees to look after this in their respective townships. Last, but not least, there is a statute covering official negligence, and if any ministerial officer refuses to carry out the law, as his duty provides, he can be fined for such neglect not. exceeding $00, to which imprisonment may be added.

Ia brief, these are the laws which have beets codified by the state fish commissioner, and. which he is now sending out, with a view of compelling a better protection of 'fish, particularly during the present spawning season, aud in which he is asking tbe co operation of all citizen, and particularly the farming community. In connection therewith, the commissioner also offer a reward of $23 for tbe first, $20 for the second, $lj for the third and $10 for the fourth, conviction witbin the" limit of Turkey creek township, Kosciusko county, during this year, tbe money to be paid to the parties giving the convicting evidence, and payable on the certificate of tbe peace justice or judge trying the case. This reward ha been brought about, as surmised, through tha cooperation of the Cedar beach club, of Tur key lake, which has agreed, by resolution, not to take fish even with the book and lino during the month of May, the principal spawning season in that latitude.

John A McKinney, the ex patrolman and ex detective, "Stepped Into James Shearer's saloon last night and informed the bartender that he had taken morphine with suicidal iptent and he desired tbat hi remains should be transferred to Hermann Son's. The police authorities were notified, but on the way to the station McKinney became unconscious, and his death occurred about 11 o'clock, oespite the professional efforts ot Dr. J. IS.
