'landlords Object to Floating- Amer
ican Jirul SoesalisL Flans from Their
Property , and Tenants Defend When
Attempt is Made to Remove Them
Incipient rent riots broke out on the
east side in New York Sunday as a re
sult of the tension between the land
lords and striking tenants , and before
the disorders were quelled by the police -
lice reserves , which were called from
[ / i several precincts , many combatants
' ' wore injured and five were arrested.
j The police used their clubs freely ,
j-j but thehc was no way to obtain the
number injured , as they hurried away
l ! and were cared for by friends. The
" ' .disorders were general throughout the
V ufjocted district.
11 The most serious trouble occurred
'
i' 01. East Eleventh street , where a
\ " 'landlord who had been unable to col-
\ \ 1oet rent ordered his tenants to re-
SJ 'move the American and socialistic }
i flags , with which the strikers had dec-
pi orated the tenement. The landlord
was hooted and jeered by the tenants
, and other strikers , who were holding a
; mass meeting in the house , and he
called the police. '
The striking tenants resented the
appearance of the officers , and in the
clash which followed the reserves used
'
their night stricks vigorously. Five
) . ' -were arrested. The offending decora-
lions were removed.
| ; Hardly had order been restored 'it
f ( this point when the police reserves
- hurried to East Twelfth street ,
where striking tenants-.were making a
* demonstration against a landlord who
f hid objected to the flying of red flags
( J over his property. The crowd failed
§ ' to obey the police order to disperse
nnd was set upon with night sticks.
r
One woman , it is reported , was ren-
I" dered insensible during the fight , in
YC\ \ v/hich wives and daughters , as well as
1 " * - fathersand sons , participated. The
' ; ! police tried to gain entrance into the
\ ' tenement , but the strikers barricaded
the door , and a semblance of order
l
> i liar ing been restored. the officers
I "withdrew. Ambulances were sum-
Tnoned to cae for the injured : but the
j
.strikers declined to admit the pliy i-
cians. saying that they would call
own doctors.

XIGIIT RIDERS USE TORCH.
of One Hundred Men Raids Ken
tucky Town.
Night riders , 100 strong , swooped
dcwn on Russellville , Logan county ,
Ivy. , early Friday morning and , after
overpowering three policemen , dyna
mited and burned two independent to
bacco concerns in the city and several
other establishments and then rode
away. Three men were wounded.
The telephone girls and police were
held prisoners for nearly three hours.
The property loss is about $50,000.
Chief of Police Bruce , as soon as
he heard the noise , hastened to the
fire tower , where he attempted to
sound an alarm , but was overpowered
by four masked night riders.
Two merchants , J. R. McLean and
J Henry Moseley , did not hurry in
to their homes as fast as the night
riders desired and were shot. The
most seriously injured was Dr. C. M.
Roberts , of Evansville , Ind.- guest
at Forest house , who was -wounded
at out the head and face by a charge
of buckshot.
The mob seemed to be well organ
ized with a head and lieutenants. All
the men were mounted and wore
white caps , false beards and masks.
Except for the shots at those who ap
peared on the streets , there was little
shooting , the chief business of the mob
seeming to be the destruction of the
tobacco houses.
ROADS HIT CHICAGO.
Special Rates to Merchants' Meetings
Withdrawn.
The spring and fall merchants'
meetings , which have for some years
past been the means of bringing thou
sands of business men from smaller
cities to Chicago and St. Louis , will
be omitted this year. The executive
committee of the Western Passenger
association has refused to grant the
desired fare and a half rate in spite
01" the pleas of representatives of the
Chicago commercial and the St. Louis
merchants' associations.
The reason given for the refusal is
that the 2-cent fare laws of Illinois ,
Missouri and other western states have
so reduced passenger earnings that it
is no longer feasible to grant special
rates. Lost spring , when the railroads
regularly charged 3 cents per mile , a
rate of fare and one-fifth was garntcd ,
and 9,454 retailers from Chicago's
irsde territory came to that city. Last
autumn no reductions in fare were
granted and only SOO retailers came
nto the meeting. *
The falling oft"at St. Louis was less ,
as the Southwestern Passenger asso
ciation has continued to grant the re
duced rates.
TO CRUSH BLACK HAXI ) .
tt'orld Wide 3Iovemcnt Launched in
Xcw York.
A plan , world wide in its scope , to
crush out the Black Hand , Mafia and
like organizations has been devised
by Lieut. Joseph Petrosini , head of
the Italian branch of the Xew York
detective bureau. Petrosini has estab
lished correspondence with the heads
of the police departments of Rome
ind other Italian cities and through
them will learn whenever a brigand
3r blackmailer has left the country
supposedly for America. He has es-
: ablished similar connections with the
police of Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapo-
is , Denver , San Francisco , Xew Or-
cans and many smaller cities , and in
; his manner the local police expect to
< eep track of the'leaders of the
r
jroups and cliques in this country.
Petrosini is aiding in the organiza-
ion of the national body of Italian
Americans which proposes to appeal
o congress to pass an immigration law

ja personal encounter Thursday at t-i
j church of St. Pierre de Chalet In

j the sacred edifice , the encounter wa.i
j rtsumed at the doorway where Count
Eoni , followed by his brother , Count

prince. Count Boni spat in his cous
in's face.
Then came the clash of canes and a
rough and tumble fight on the pave
ment , wh'ich ' ended in the gutter ,
where the men were finally separated
by a big butcher. Count Boni at the
moment of intervention was holding
down the well night insensible prince ,
while Jean , according to eye witne-sse ,
was administering to him a severe
kicking. When the police arrived the
butcher was holding the two princi
pals in the fight , who wore covered
with mud. The police invited the two
men to go t'o the station house , an < l '
this , after some disputing , they agreed
to do. All three of them , bespattered
with mud , accompanied the police ,
and followed by several thousand per
sons , marched ot't' to the station ,
where they made "explanations. "
IUG ROAD IS EMBARRASSED.
Seaboard Air Line is in Receivers'
Hands.
R. Lancaster Williams , of Richmond
mend , Va. , and f- > . Davies Warfield , of
Baltimore , Md. , were Thursday ap
pointed by the United States circuit
court receivers of the Seaboard Air
line.
The effect of the receivership for the
Seaboard Air line will have a far-
reaching effect in Baltimore , wheic
the securities of the company are
more largely dealt in and held than
any other trading center , not even excepting , -
cepting New York. The bond issues
placed on the property since it ha ?
been merged into one system aggre
gate $33,785,000 , of which amount it
is estimated neaily $2r .000,000 is held
there. Persons on the "inside" are out
spoken in the opinion that the security
holders of both stocks and bonds will
benefit. These say no holders of any
underlying bonds need feel the least
alarm over the safety of the security ,
nor have any fear of default any time j
of interest. One of the assets of th
Seaboard is the Baltimore Steam
Packet company , better known ns the
Old Bay line. The operations of this
line , it is said , will not be affected by
Lhe receivership.
