VOL. IX DRANK TOO MUCH BEER. Superfluity of Malt Liquor Brings on a Free Tight Among Foreigners at Denver, Which is Ended Only on the Arrival of Policemen Armed With Winchester Eifles. Wholesale Arrests of Railroad Employes at Pittsburg for Stealing Freight. The Unknown Victim of an Assassin at Rahway, N.

Finally Burled. Denver, April 11. riot occurred late last night between rival Swede, Pole and Hungarian colonies at the corner of Thirty- fourth and Make streets. The settlement where the riot occurred is composed of from twenty-five to thirty families, who live in small, one-story houses, not more than 10 or 20 feet square. The men mostly are employed in the smelters and foundries located in the neighborhood.

There has been long-standing jealousy in the settlement over a young Polish woman named Alice Fallot, who yesterday morning left the settlement on the south side of the street and spent the day with a rival colony on the north side. In honor of her visit several kegs of beer were tapped, which caused frequent brawls during the afternoon and until late in the evening, when members of the mob became beastly intoxicated. At the house adjoining the one where fifteen to twenty men were celebrating and Mrs. Krauds, rivals of their neighbors, had prepared to celebrate the christening of their months old child and had invited a number. of their friends and bad also laid in a supply of beer.

The Krauds crowd had reached an advanced stage of intoxication by midnight and some of them going out of the house, accidentally met people from the other house, situated not over 10 or 15 feet away, a tight immediately issued. The Kraud's crowd reinforced from those inside drove their rivals into their house, when a wild scene took place chairs, tables and beadsteads being broken no and the pieces used as weapons to pound each other over the head. Many were knocked senseless and trampled under foot until life was almost sxtinct. The plastering was torn from the walls and every glass in the house smashed, aiitil it looked as though it had been raked with grape and canister. After this bitter ight the Kraud's crowds was driven into Jieir house, where the same scene was entcted.

Several shots were tired, and a Pole aamed Piberitch, was fatally shot and athers seriously wounded. The police of the neighborhood attempted to quiet the disturbance and make arrests, but were driven away by the mob. Reinforcements were sent for, and the patrol wagon immediately responded. Twelve policemen armed with Winchesters, surrounded the houses. The mob at first attempting to resist, and made a dash at the officers, armed with clubs, knives and revolvers, but when they were met by the blue coats ready to lire into them, they fell back and made little resistance.

Only one or two of the prisoners can speak English. They are ragged and dirty, spattered with blood and dirt. Many of them came to Denver one ago, direct from Hungary, Poland md Bohemia. WHOLESALE aurests 91T Railroad uiployes Who Have Been Engaged in Bobbins: Freight Trains. Pittsburg, April most important arrests ever made in this part of country was begun at an early hour morning, and the officers of the Panhandle railroad have in custody the most iar'mg gang of railroad robbers ever known.

many members belong to the gang is lot known, but they run up into the hunireds. Their stealing extended over a period of two or three years, and the imount stolen reaches nearly half a million lobars. Simultaneously arrests were made ill alone the line of the Panhandle road between here and Columbus. Warrants have oeen in the hands of officers for some time, mil the persons arrested will comprise nearly the entire freight men of the line. The ringleaders are outside of the railroad tmsiness and are known.

The hist arrests were made about 2 o'clock this morning, the police surprising eighteen at their boarding houses. Further arrests were made between 2 o'clock and daylight, when men. all railroad employes, conductors, brakemen, firemen and engineers were behind the bars. In speaking of the arrest a prominent officer of the Panhandle said: For three years past the Panhandle road las been systematically robbed. Cars on sid; ings and cars iv moving trains were broken apen and goods stolen, including every description of merchandise.

it is estimated that at least $300,000 worth of goods were taken for which the company had to pay. In August last we GOT A CLUE, tnd the company determined to push it to the Mid. Detectives were employed who followed jp every scent, and finally we had information on which to proceed. Wnen everything was ready we decided to make a movement all along the line from Columbus to Pittsburg, and 2 o'clock this morning was fixed to strike the blow. About eighty warrants were issued Tor men in Pittsburg.

I can't tell how many tor other places, but it is at every point along the line and it will run up into It is the biggest thing of the kind that ever aappened in Pittsburg or in railroad matters In the world, for nothing like it ever happened before. I cannot tell who the men are inder arrest or who the ringleaders are. This nueh I will say, we suspect outsiders of being implicated in the robbery, but know nothing positively. The arrests created the greatest excitement among the railroad employes of this The scene about the jail doors this norning, where relatives of the prisoners sad gathered to learn the cause of the arrests, were of the saddest description. Wives, children, parents, brothers and sisters with tear stained faces stood around the entrance to the prison, eager to hear the latest developments and pleading with the for admission to the.

jail to see the prisoners. At 1 o'clock ten more arrests were reported. They were captured at the pay car while receiving their wages. This makes a total of fifty six now in jail here. CONSTERNATION prevails among the proprietors of the "fences" and dens where the goods were gecreted and sold.

In one instance the proprietor of a notorious den was detected in tiie act of burning stolen property. A telegram received from Dennison. 0., states that J. K. Dunlap, the leader of the gang, was arrested there this morning.

Telegrams from Cadiz. Steubenville and points west of Columbus report the arrest a large number of railroad employes implicated in the robberies. The preliminary aearing will be held on April 18. The robberies were committed between Pittsburg and Dennison, and out -of eighty freight crews, seventy-five were involved in the theft. The prisoners stole all sorts of goods, discriminating only against blacksmith's anvils and coffins.

The thieves who were not arrested at their homes were taken from their trains. To do this it was necessary to display the red light at the avenue crossing and side track the trains as they came in. This was so quickly executed that when the thieving crew mustered on the little platform to ask what the red light meant, they could see -listening on the wrists of each other the fearful implements of justice by which the officers gathered them together. Conductors and I brakemen looked aghast at each other as the guilty knowledge of their crimes same before them. TRATX AFTER TRAIN iras side tracked until the "alleged thieves' were pulled aud the caboose cars containing nany evidences of long continued depredations were cut loose and; 1 The combination to rob a freight train ne- cessitated the guilty knowledge and actual participation of the conductor or middle brakeman.

one or more, and the rear brakemanor flagman. It did not of necessity' take in the front brakeman or flagman, nor the engineer or fireman, but the others had to be in to make it work. Fires in progress to-day all along the line of 1 the Panhandle road, made up of stuff out of the caboose cars. Word was telegraphed along the road for the particulars of each case. Freight trains have hauled up at water stations and a delay made till the caboose was swept and garnished, and in doing so evidence has been procured against unsuspected railroad men, which it will be hard to overturn.

Almost every man arrested had from one to ten pawn tickets for all sorts of articles on his person. It is alleged that every pawn shop in the two cities is represented on the tickets. An amount of several thousaud dollars is said to be recoverable in this way alone. About the Panhandle yards to-day there was a scene of quietness. The crews that had been arrested had left a large number of trains deserted.

There were twenty-four of these trains piled closely together on the side tracks in the yards. The detention of freight, however, was only temporary. An extra force of sixty men had been employed. These were put on the deserted trains in place of the arrested employes. Special Agent Rue stated to-night that THE TOTAL, ARRESTS number sixty, of whom there are fifty-six in the Pittsburg jail.

One of the men named Black was released on bail. J. F. Gibbs was also released this evening. He is an officer of the company, and his arrest was a mistake.

Two of the men in the Pittsburg jail are from Dennison. O. Two others arrested at Dennison are still there. Another arrest, that of Elmer Young, was made at East Palestine, O. Deputy Mayor Gripp, before whom the warrants were sworn out, has fixed the hearing for next Monday at 10 a.

m. The office of Detective Gilkeson is crowded with the many trunks and stolen goods, all of which have been labelled as from whom taken, the date and conditions. They will all be guarded to be used as evidence against the men. The goods there are valued at several thousand dollars, which may be greatly increased by the contents of the dozen or more trunks which have not jet been opened. At the jail all was quiet and no more prisoners were expected to-night.

It is understood that no more arrests will be made here. In fact Mr. Hue said they had all the men wanted, except a few no longer connected with the Panhandle road, who are located and will be arrested within the next few days. At a late hour to-night J. K.

Dunlap, who is regarded as the ringleader of the gang, made a confession to the detectives in which he implicated several outsiders and located "fences" at Dennison. 0., New Philadelphia and other places. CHARGED WITH SItIKDER. The Sons-in-Law of a Georgia Lothario Accused of Killing- Him. Atlanta, April two sons-in-law of Zelom Sheffield, of Willington, were placed in Early county jail last night, on indictments by the grand jury charging them with the murder of their father-in-law.

Sheffield was a man of unbridled passions in his youth. Later he adopted two illegitimate daughters and gave them a good education. The girls subsequently married Ruf us Lawrence and Ben Tallafeiro. the sons of respectable farmers. Sheffield then took into the house a mulatto son, John Sheffield, who became a noted criminal and cattle thief.

The father indulged his colored son to such ah extent that his it was feared, dissipated. Because of this Sheffield and. his two daughterafleil out and then the assassination of Sheffield was reported. Suspicion at once' fell upon the sons-in-law. who, in turn.

tried to fasten the crime upon the mulatto son, who was asleep in. the' room with Sheffield at the time he was shot. Rewards were offered by the state and "local authorities for. the arrest of the murderers, but all apparently to no purpose. The grand jury has been looking into the matter for a week and the result of its action was the arrest of the young men.

Lawrence and Tallafeiro. They will be called up for trial Tuesday, and some lively developments are promised. The sentiment of the county is in favor of the two young men: It alleged- that Sheffield had threatened to disinherit his daughters in favor of his negro son. vll The Kan way Victim. It AY way.

A Man Living Near Hedfleld, Kills Himself With a Heavy" Hammer. The New Public Building to be Erected at Oshkosh western Notes. Special to the Globe.

The Architect Will Try 10 Please the People and Satisfy- the Government's Requirements. Special to the Globe. Washington, April The people of Oshkosh are greatly interested in their new public. building. After the- usual delays incident to such cases, the title papers have been approved, the cession papers received and approved and the supervising architect is ready to commence work oh the sketch plan of the building.

The law clerk of fhat office says that nothing can be done in such matter until all technicalities as to title have been settled. Although work can now be commenced, it will not be, because there are six other public buildings ready for action, which have priority over the Oshkosh building. They are at Eastport, San Antonio, Jacksonville, Chattanooga, S. and Wilmington, Del. It will take about three months to prepare the sketch plan, until which time nothing can be done in the matter of the erection of the building.

Letters have been received by the supervising architect indicating a great feeling of excitement in Oshkosh. The law requires that all public buildings shall be at least forty feet from nearest adjacent structure. The" site selected by the inspectors of the treasury department is unfortunate. The building is to be 50x100 feet. It could not be built facing Washington street because that street is only 112 feet long from Jefferson avenue to the present postoffice building.

It would, therefore, be necessary to face it on Jefferson avenue, and have the main entrance on that street, giving only a side entrance on Washington street. This would leave the government building with its back towards the main business center of Jefferson avenue is a residence street and has iiofca, jingle. Jbusiness house; The department is m' receipt of proposition to make the building with a frontage of seventy feet on Washington street, making the main front there, with a side on Jefferson avenue of seventy-one feet. A building thus constructed would occupy the same amount of ground as one 50x100 feet. Senator Sawyer, who resides in Oshkosh, and Mr.

Guenther, whose residence has been in Oshkosh for many years, write indorsing the plan suggested. The supervising architect says that these suggestions are valuable, and will receive consideration in preparing the sketch plan. street is an important connecting with Main street, 1 which is the chief street of the city. A frontage thereon would be acceptable to all of the business men. Frontage on Jefferson avenue would be ridiculous and make the public building a laughing stock instead of an ornament to the city.

Wisconsin Legislature. Special to the Globe. Madison, April Both branches of the legislature met to-night. The formality of considering bills in committee of the whole was dispensed with and immediate action taken on them. The house passed Bartholf's registry bill, which positively prohibits electors in cities having a population of between 3,000 and 20,000 from voting unless registered one week before election.

It also passed a bill authorizing the construction of a dam across the St. Croix river in Polk county. A resolution similar to the one considered in the early part of the session, proposing an amendment to the constitution so as to require foreigners to become full citizens of the United States before they can vote in this was killed. The senate resolution providing -for the submission' to the people of the question of holding a convention to revise the state constitution was refused concurrence; also the bill providine punishment for vagrancy and beggars. Bills were concurred, in providing for change of place of trial in bastardy cases, and authorizing the construction of a bridge across the Mississippi river at any point between La Crosse and Prairie dv Chien.

The senate passed a requiring property holders to give a truthful report to assessors, I and providing tine from 825 to $500 for failing to do and concurred in the bill appropriating annually to be divided among the various county fairs.

The Mayor of Dublin Makes an Eloquent Address Which is Enthusiastically E3ceived. Michael Davitt Among tbe Speakers --Hisses For the Queen and Chamberlain.

A Tenant Makes a Long Fight Again livleters The Czar Threatened. London, April gathering in Hyde Park this afternoon was the largest ever held in London. The people were enthusiastic- but orderly. The socialists stole a march on the police, and erected platforms from which several speakers delivered orations. They afterward held a noisy meeting in Trafalgar square.

Mr. Gladstone watched the procession from a i window in Piccadilly, and was given an ovation by the' men in line. Estimates of the attendance at the meeting vary, but it is certain that 150,000 persons, including on-lbokers, were present. The procession took an hour and a half to file into the park. The first contingent was composed of the members of the Robert Emmett lodge; then followed a large number of Irish temperance lodges, radical clubs and social Democratic societies.

Numerous bands of music were in the line. While passing the Carlton and other conservative clubs the bands played the "Dead March in Saul" and the "Marseillaise." Green banners and Irish national emblems were conspicuous among the ranks of the parade Among the mottoes displaued on the banners of the Radicals were these: "Justice to' Ireland, "Friendship, not Bayonets," "No Coercion." The effect of the careful arrangements that had been made to avoid any confusion at the park was seen in a the admirable, order in which' the paraders grouped themselves around the fourteen platforms. The greatest throng gathered around the platform from which Lord Mayor Sullivan, of Dublin, and Messrs. Conybeare and William Redmond, members of parliament, spoke. Lord Mayor Sullivan, in the course of a most effective speech, asked: "Is it the wish of the workmen of London that the hopes of the hard-working tenantry of Ireland shall be forever crushed down?" A tremendous responsive "No" resounded throughout the park.

THE MENTION OF TnE QUEEN as about to celebrate her jubilee by signing away the liberties -of the people or Ireland, brought forth a torrent of hisses, and the mention of Mr. Chamberlain's name aroused a tempest of groans and hisses, with cries of "Traitor." Mr. Sullivan, in concluding, assured his hearers that the demonstration would carry hope and joy into the hearts of the Irish. It would cheer many a poor struggling man to know that England was no enemy of Ireland. "In return, he said, "don't let them believe those who say the Irish are mortal, implacable enemies of England.

That is a falsehood worthy of the bottomless pit. Let there be ah end of oppression and injustice, and there will be an end of hatred." Michael Davitt appeared at a socialist platform. He referred to the demonstration as a proof of the.approaching solidarity of the people of Great Britain and Ireland. In proportion as the masses began to understand each other, so the classes became alarmed. The privileged classes well knew the tendency of the Irish and sought to crush the Irish leaders, hoping to prevent the' English people following the example set them by the Irish.

But they would hold the fort in Ireland. On the day on which the crimes act should become a law they would either have to give up the struggle that had been waged for centuries, and lie down as slaves, or render the system impossible of duration. They would follow the manlier course. The classes had in the past built a bridge of hate across the Irish Sea, and the people would pull it down and erect a bridge of love between the toilers of Ireland the workers of England. John Burnes, a socialist leader, followed Mr.

Davitt, He declared that the state of Ireland justified a civil war, and that the English people were ready to assist the Irish peasants in a revolt. At 4:30 o'clock a bugle sounded, and at this prearranged sigual a resolution condemning the crimes bill was put simultaneously at all of the platforms. The resolution was carried amid a prolonged chorus of cheers. Fighting Against Eviction. Dublin, April Daniel Grace, a farmer of County Cork, has been evicted after a most desperate resistance.

A force of police went to his house early Saturday morning for, the purpose of evicting him, but he had erected barricades, and succeeding in keeping the officers at bay all day. To-day the struggle was. renewed, but the police finally effected an entrance, and Grace was driven from his home. The Threatened Czar. London, April 11.

The Times correspondent "at St. Petersburg says it is reported, that the czar before returning to Gatzchina on Wednesday found letters on his writing table, in the winter palace threatening him with death. A Government Plot. Cork, April A letter from Rev. Mr.

Kennedy appears in the Cork Herald saying that the suspicious vessel seen, off Youghal is the Culvare, which left an American port ten days ago. He says it is part of a government plot to treat the people to a scare in order to assist in passing the" coercion bill, and that the vessel will cruise between Queenstown and Youghal and try and entrap men to assist in landing dynamite, when government agents will be ready to seize them. Mr. Kennedy says the plot was originated at Dublin castle. Woodside a Winner.
