WASHINGTON , May 9. After the reading of
the joumnl the house went Into committee
of the whole on the tariff bill.
Mr. Dockery of Missouri said that In the
tnat campaign the republican party claimed
lhat the farmers would bo beneflttcd by pro
tection , yet of tcr n republican victory the de
pression in ngrlculturo was greater than
ever. This depression followed n great pro
tective victory. It was not a temporary con
dition the country had to deal with. Farm
prices had not recovered since the panic. . The
constant tendency In the west had been
downward slnco that tlmo. Ho then pro
ceeded to nrguo that it was not In the power
of any tariff to raise the price of any agricul
tural product unless 'it could bo
neon that It was brought Into competi
tion with n foreign article.Instead of
having to meet competition on our soil Ameri
can farmers expected their own produce to
supply the agricultural deficiency of Euro
pean countries.
Mr. Morse Inquired whether the American
farmers did not have to compete with the
funnel's of Canada.
Mr. Dockery replied that the question re
vealed another Injustice of the tariff system.
The western fanner had no competition , but
the effect of the tariff on agricultural pro
ducts was detrimental to the farmers of the
cast. Eggs with n duty of 5 cents a dozen
were brought from Canada to New York.
"Why ! Because It wns cheaper to pay the
duty on eggs than to pav railroad rates from
the west to the cost. Thcrcforo It gave no
benefit to the fnrmor of the west and'tnxed'
the eastern farmer to the extent of the duty.
Mr. Dockery then submitted nn argument
in favor of wool and n reduction of tlio duty
on manufactured products. In his state there
wcro 1,009,000 moro pcoplo than sheep , nnd
between tlio people and the sheep , his sym
pathy was with the people.
Discussing the subject of trusts as con
ncctod with the tariff , Mr. Dockory de
nounced the dressed beef monopoly of Chicago
cage Us having plundered the farmers of the
west by unscrupulous exactions. If the
farmrr wns to bo relieved , if the mortgage
Was To bo taken off his farm , the government
must speedily rovcrsa Its policy in regard to
the foreign trade. If the government would
unshackle our genius , unhnmper our enter
prise , unfetter our resources , wo would soon
outstrip England.
Mr. Burrows of Michigan said the republi
cans would reduce tlio surplus by ono theory ,
the democrats by another , nnd it was'thn
conflict of theories which prevented the
remedy being applied. In the campaign of
1888 the two theories were presented to the
American people and after n full debate on
the platform nnd In the press the .verdict
was. rendered In favor of the republican
theory a verdict so pronounced ns to wrest
the presidency and the jxipular branch of
congress from the democratic party. In tlio
measure the commiUeo on ways and means
presented it sought 10 execute the popular
verdict nnd to crystalizo it into law. The
dfttflocratip party was again going before tlio
people with the appeal that they ro-
Vcrso their verdict. The democratic
"party favored a tariff for revenue. The re
publican party favored a tariff for revenue
and protection not incidentaliiot accidental ,
but intentional. A tariff for revenue only
was a step towards frco trade , and the repub
lican party was against frco trade [ applause ] .
The bill was intended ns a measure of pro
tection from the enacting clause to the clos-
liiff paragraph.
Mr , Burrows defended the tin plate , sugar
nnd wool sections. Free Undo meant unre
stricted competition ; unrestricted competi
tion meant cheap goods ; competition in cheap
goods meant cheap labor ; competition in
cheap labor meant cheap llesh and blood ;
competition in chiton llosli nnd blood was
slavery ; cheap clothing and cheap food were
of no value if human labor was
cheaper still ( applause ) . Frco trade meant
cheapness to thu rich nnd idle , but longer
hours and harder work to the laborer. In
this race for cheapness the republican party
did not propose to enter , whatever might
bo the cause , of the present agricultural de
pression no ono would bo bold enough to
assort that It was duo to the policy which had
created n homo market capacious enough to
consume , exclusive of cotton and tobacco , 05
per cent of the products of the farm. What
ever might bo the remedy for agricultural de
pression , ono thing was true , it would not bo
found in the markets of the world.
In ibis bill , said Mr. Burrows , wo have
Bought to reduce the revenues to the basis of
governmental need , without impairing n
slnglo American industry or depriving a
elude laboring man of the product of his toll.
Mr. MoMillln of Tennessee proposed to
stretch this bill this putrid patient upon
the dissecting table. In some respects It was
lilto a man , for It was fearfully and wonder
fully mado. Again It wns the earth at crea
tion without form nnd nil darkness. There
was u general chungo frcm ndvulorem to
specific duties. The prices of commodities
were falling all over the world mid tills
chnugo prevented the consumer from getting
the benefit of the reduction. The
democratic party would take issue with
the republican party on the now doctrine
of counties. Ho also denounced the increase
of the duty on tin plate. The gentleman on
thn other side spoke of the victory achieved
by the republicans In ISi . Thnt wns a vic
tory , when n 100,000 , popular majority was for
the democratic candlduto. This provoked a
political * tilt between Messrs. Milllkcu and
McMlllln which lasted some time.
Mr. McMlllln then proceeded to nn nnnlysls
of the bill , asserting that nsida from tlio sugar
schedule there was not n schedule In which
the duties had not been Increased. Mr. Me-
"Mllliu predicted that when the ides of No
vember arrived there would go up from the
party n wall of defeat ,
Mr , Bayno of Pennsylvania was opjxiscd to
any general discussion of the bill. It should
bo passed speedily. Whllo this measure was
pending In congress the business interests of
the country would bo In n restless , uneasy
condition , which could only bo relieved when
the president placed his signature on the bill.
Hoforring to tno agricultural depression , ho
admitted that in some parts of the country
the condition of the farmers wns bad , but ho
Uld not think It fair that the Inference should
Tuo drawn that the farmers of foreign countries
wcro In more favorable circumstances. On
the contrary , ho asserted that foreign farm
ers were In n much moro deplorable condition
than the farmers of the united States. In
the last ten years the farm lands of England ,
small in- area , depreciated ? 1,000,000,000 , In
value , whllo ho assorted that In tlio whole
American union the value of farm lands had
not depreciated I cent. Ho predicted that
the next census would show an increase In
the vuluo of farms of the country over the
valny of 183J ,
Mr. Flower of Now York spoke ng.ilnst the
bill und thu committee and house took a re
cess until 8 o'clock ,

Claims to tlio National Meeting *
CHICAGO , May 8. The Stnto Medical asso
ciation resumed its session today. The fol-
owlng ofllccrs were elected for the ensuing
year : President " , J. P.Matthews , Carllnvillo ;

Held. .
As a result of the discussion on the condi
tion of the insuno of Illinois it was resolved
that the society should take action
at the next session of the _ legislature
looking to such changes In the laws
is will prevent the present delay In
commitments to the asylums and tlio consequent
quent neglect of patients while in the earlier
and curable stages ; to provide suitable nc-
corntnodatlon for nil the insane , and separate
quarters for nil such as are confined in poor
houses , till provision is made in the state asy
lums. It was also resolved that there should
bo a complete exhibit at the world's fair of
the history and present status of the allied
sciences , nnd the National Medical society
was asked to take the necessary steps atoiice.
A letter was read from the Omulm Medical
society asking the Illinois delegates to the
national association to urge the claims of
Omaha for the next meeting of the national
body.
The association adjourned to meet at Spring
field next year.
Again In Serious Trouble.
CHICAGO , May 8. [ Special Telegram to
Tun Bui ; . ] The Chicago trust and savings
bank Is again In serious trouble. Another
transaction which threatens to bo serious for
President D. H. Tolman was brought to light
In Judge Alt'geld's court tills morning. At
torney Sigmund Zcislcr appeared for an order
vacating thrco Judgments entered by Tolman
by confession last Saturday. One of these
was against the firm of Smith & Patterson ,
dealers in photographers' supplies on a
cognovit note for SSW. The other two were
on similar notes for JS01 and $200 , executed
by Clmdes G. Wheeler. Mr. Zelslcr said the
notes were executed In consideration of the
alleged watered stock of the bank nnd wcro
entered-for judgment by Tolman after Judge
Horton had Issued his injunction of Saturday
morning restraining the Chicago trust
nnd savings bunk nnd its oflleers from taking
any such action. Tolman's attorney said the
entering of the notes for Judgment was not a
disobedience of the order of Judge Horton ,
as they were the personal property of Mr.
Tolman. "Well. " suld Judge Altgeld ,
"wlillo it is sometimes the practice to allow
the judgments to stand pending n hearing of
the case , it appears to mo that there is such
an odor of "fmud in this transaction as to
leave mo no hesitancy in vacating the judg
ments anil granting the defendant's leave to
plead. " Mr. Xoisler says ho will also bring
the matter bcforo Judge Horton to discover
whether or not Mr. Toltnuu is in contempt of
court.
Chicago Colored AVaiters Strike.
CHICAGO , May 8. The colored waiters cm-
ployed In Kingsley's restaurant , about
nighty in number , this morning presented a
demand for tlio reformation of hours nnd
wages agreed upon by the waiters' union
nst night , and being denied the request
struck nt noon , when their services were
most In demand. Two of them wcro subse
quently arrested for trying to intimidate those
who took their places. Committees of strik
ers visited other restaurants employing col
ored , help and endeavored to get them to come
out lit- once , but without success. It is
thought , however , that all of tlio colored
waiters In the city , about nine hundred , will
be on a strike before Monday nqst.

The prohibition organ in Now York city
lihs sent out circulars to the Nebraska dele
gation in congress soliciting contributions of
from ? o and upwards toward a campaign
fund , which the newspaper states must
aggregate $15,000 , from Washington to bo
used in the approaching election in Nebraska
in the interest of prohibition against the
popular proposition of high license. The cir
culars have all been "respectfully referred to
Scmrtor Paddock" and ho is being broadly
smiled at by his colleagues. It Is proposed to
expend a largo sum of money In Nebraska ,
this fall for the purpose of making the pro
hibition question successful thcro nnd the
campaign is to bo conducted upon "improved
political methods. " It Is not likely that there
will bo a very largo sum of money sent from
Washington The solicitations up to this
tlmo have not resulted encouragingly.
niviniiu ON sti.vnn LEGISLATION.
A number of republican senators expressed
a belief this afternoon that thcro will not. bo n
silver coinage bill agreed upon by the caucus.
Another effort was made by the republican
senators this morning to reach a conclusion
on the silver question , but the division of
sentiment was marked and a number of
senators took such strong ground against nnd
made such a determined opposition to what
appeared to bo the popular idea qf u bill that
no effort was made to reach n definite con
clusion. It is likely that yet another caucus
will bo had upon the subject. As stated In
these dispatches last night , at least ten re
publican senators have announced their in
tention to refuse to bo bound by caucus action
unless n bill Is endorsed Which will mnko the
certificates issued for the purchase of bullion
legal tender , redeemable in lawful money of
the United States. It is believed that it will
bo best under the circumstances to permit
the question to coino up on the floor of the
senate and let each senator vote his Indi
vidual sentiment , so that whatever propo
sition is voted down or adopted there will bo
no such things as party defeat or party suc
cess.
cess.An effort has been made to ascertain the
position of the president on the silver ques
tion , but nothing moro definite can bo learned
than that the Windom bill meets with his
approval. Several well informed gentlemen
in congress have predicted that should n free
coinage bill bo passed nnd the certificates
made a full legal tender the president will
veto the measure. This is hardly probable.
The president is very anxious for some kind
of n silver bill that will stimulate prices.

eleventh census will show the stnto to bo en
titled to that number of additional represen
tatives in congress is received here with ap
probation. It is believed that the census will
show the state to bo entitled' to that number
of representatives , nnd also that Superintend
ent Porter will bo enabled to make n report
of the result Of the census when congress con
venes In December , upon which n bill will bo
prepared ratifying the work of the census
and designating the reapportionmcnt of the
representation in congress. The election of
the additional congressmen in Nebraska this
fall will simply obviate the necessity of a
special election. If the census should not'
show the state to bo entitled to thrco addi
tional representatives no harm will hiivo
been done nnd n special election may ho
called to select the number to which the state
Is entitled. The no\v members will of coin-so
take their scats on March 4 next ,

It is stated now that Postmaster General
Wannmaker has persuaded Mr. Clarkson to

ment that ho would positively retire on Juno

asked to remain until tlio end of the fiscal
year. General Clarkson now announces that
ho will positively bid adieu to the depart

THE INTEIIEST FLAOOINO.
It became manifest today that before the
debate on the tariff Is a day older the Interest
will have very materially Hogged , During
the delivery of the speeches , of Messrs. Mo
Mlllin of Tennessee , ono of the leading dem
ocrats , and Bnyno of Pennsylvania , n promi
nent republican protectionist , not half of the
members were in their seats and the galleries
were not nearly filled. During n portion of
tlio tlmo when these gentlemen were speak
ing not two hundred cars in both galleries and
on the lloor wcro turned toward the orator.
It is taken pretty well for granted now that
the bill as rcixn-ted from the committee will
not bo materially amended nnd will surely be
come a law and this is ono of the principal
reasons why interest Is diminishing so early.
Then qultoa number of members hnvo cm-
braced the opportunity to visit their homes
and take part In the campaigns for nomination
and re-election. Most of the members nro

They AVould Ilkt > to Select the
World's Fnlr Dlr'cdtor General.
CHICAGO , May 8. [ Special Telegram to
Tin : BEE. ] The railroad odlclols of Chicago
nro still demanding that the director general
of the world's fair bo selected from among
<
their ranks. B. T. Jqffory was once promt *
nontly mentioned , but It Is now understood
that it 13 impossible for him to accept the
place. The railroad magnates think that If u
director general 4s' sought In Chicago , how
ever , they could still find one among their
own ranks , and within , the past day or two
they have been discussing the peculiar fitness
of II. B. Stone , who hni recently resigned the
position of second vice president of the Chicago
cage , Burlington & Quincy road to accept
that of president of the Chicago telephone
company , for the position. If they hod the
selection of n director general for the Coluin-
Wan exposition Mr , Stone would bo offered
the position. They urge that ho is in every
way fitted to fill it successfully. Tomorrow
evening the board of directors will hold
another meeting. No selection of n director
general , however , will bo mado. Since the
directors hnvo organized and settled down to
n concerted consideration of affairs u conserv
ative feeling has sprung up In regard to the
appointment of a director general. The great
Importance of the ofHco has become more and
moro apparent nnd there Is a 'disposition to
make haste slowly. It Is not necessary that'
the director general bo appointed from Chi
cago. The duties of the onlco will bo both
national und international in character nnd
the directors hnvo como to believe that the
widest possible field should bo canvassed In
order to secure tho-riuht man. It Is probable
that the directors will not Uiko final action
themselves , but will wait until the national
commission shall havn been organized by the
president. Suggestion from the commission
will bo entertained nnd a reasonable degree
of unanimity on tlio part of the commission
nnd board ol directors will bo sought bcforo
the choice is nmdn. , The national commission ,
it Is expected , will bo organized within n few
weeks. The governors of eight or ten states
have already appointed commissioners and
the rest will soon fall in lino.
THE 3IIXEH8 XEXT.
Whenever They nroltendy the Federa

PiTTsnuito , Pa. , May S. In regard to the re
port that the miners of the United States ,
numbering 75,000 , affiliated with tlio Ameri
can Federation of Labor , will strike for eight
hours , Vlco President Martin , of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor said tonight it was
decided at the Now York meeting that after
the carpenters' strike was settled the de- ,
munds of the miners will bo presented. The
carpenters' struggle is regarded as over , and
whenever the miners ( ire ready the federation
will tnko charge of the matter. So far. how
ever , they have not nbtlticd the federation of
ficials of their intension to demand eight
hours.
The coal operators' hero say the idea of the
coal miners striking for eight hours is ro-
diculous ; that the man are paid by the bushel
and not by the day , and that they are masters
of their own time.

"provided a similar'increase is granted by

southern portion of , the state continued
operations , taking 'many of our customers
away and retaining not a few yet.
Wo cannot compete with the
southern pcoplo while they pay
their miners less than wo do. " "Altogether , "
Mr. Sweet said , "thero are nearly twelve
thousand miners out throughout the state. "
The millers in northern Illinois have a very
poor organization , factions tending to weaken
anything like n concerted movement on their
pnrt. The committee mot Mr. Sweet this af
ternoon again and an attempt nt an arrange
ment was made whereby the men may ull re
turn to work.
An evening paper says that an amicable
conclusion has been reached , but the report
lacks confirmation.
An Unmipportpil Statement.
CHICAGO , May 8. A local paper says this
evening that the strike of the coal miners of
northern Illinois is settled , nnd that the executive -
ecutivo committee of- the National Miners'
union will issue a circular to the men tonight
ordering them to return to work Monday. It
is expected that on that day nil mines in the
stnto will resume operations.
A Joint conference committee was in session
all day. The basis of the agreement is the
agreement submitted to the miners by the op
erators at the recent joint convention , with
some amendments to meet the men's views.
It is understood that the term of the continu
ance of the agreement is contingent on the
success of the minors securing the same con
ditions from the southern Illinois operators.
Should they full the present agreement will
bo void and n strike will follow in which the
miners will bo supported by the American
Federation of Labor.

ADOPTED A NEW AGREEMENT ,
The Western States Passenger Association
Finally Keorganized.
NINETEEN LINES IN ATTENDANCE.
The WlflCoiiHlu Central Ilcfuscs [ to
Conio In Unless Certain of Its
Demand * Are Conceded Xo
Advance at-Present.
CHICAGO , May 8. [ Special Telegram to
Tun "Dun. ] Nineteen lines cast and west of
the Missouri river today agreed upon and
adopted the new passenger agreement of the
Western Passenger association. These nine
teen lines Include the principal roads In the
territory of the Trans-Missouri association
andthat , of the Western States Passenger as
sociation with the exception of the Wisconsin
Central. That company refused to sign the
agreement or become a member of the new
association unless Its demands for slower
time between Chicago nnd St. Paul or n dif
ferential faro wcro conceded. Owing to this
action of the Wisconsin Central It was agreed
that passenger faros cannot nt present bo re
stored to the regular tariff , but It Is believed
the Wisconsin Central will before long yield
enough of its demands to admit of nn ad
vance In rates.
In pursuance of the instructions of the
presidents , the general managers of the west
ern lines met today to ngrco If possible
upon the basis of a railroad organiza
tion to take the pluco of the Inter
state Commerce Railway association.
The sentiment of the meeting was the same
as of the presidents that thcro must bo n
division of competitive trafllc bcforo an asso
ciation could bo formed or rates advanced.
To this end n committee , consisting of a rep
resentative of each line cast of the Missouri ,
was appointed. In connection with Chair
men Walker , Faithorn , Mldgloy and Finloy ,
this committee is to draw up n report of what
In their judgment competitive tralllc is and
what adjustment of rates should bo made
from points west of the Missouri river.
When ready to report the committee will
notify Chairman Chnppell of the reorganiza
tion committee and n meeting of the main
committee will then discuss association mat
ters. The sub-committee meets tomorrow.
A Close Trntllu Arrangement.
CHICAGO , .May S. [ Special Telegram to
Tin : Bnij.j The Iowa Central has made a
close traffic arrangement with the St. Paul
road which will entirely change the situation
of affairs between St. Paul and St. Louis.
By this arrangement a new route is formed
between St. Paul and Kansas City forty
miles shorter than any existing route nnd in
case of necessity this can bo still further
shortened twenty miles. A now double daily
vestibule passenger service will bo started on
the new route May 11 , and will innko Hvo
hours loss time than any at present miult be
tween St. Paul nnd Kansas City. From
Kansas City close connections will be made
with the Wabash to St. Louis and through
cur service between St. Paul and St. Louis
established. This passenger service will cut
deep into the fut passenger trafllo of which
the Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha
and the Chicago , St. Paul & Kansas City hnvo
hitherto had n monopoly. The Iowa Central
has also made another important tralllc
ralllanco-wlth the Atchison , ivhcrebyltsccurqs
a termlnul.ln Chicago in return for furnish
ing U terminal in Pcoria to the Atchison.
These alliances nro especially significant as
showing the tendency of western roads to
combine. At least half u dozen other similar
combinations are being arranged between
roads.

lines except the Baltimore ) & Ohio , which is
awaiting instructions , will moot on May 1'J

WASHINGTON , May S. ircscnlutlvonow-
ell , chairman of the cor. . . .too on elections ,
who was Instructed by tlio house caucus to
prepare n bill providing for the extension of
the functions of the national supervisors of
elections , today Introduced a measure In the
house. It Is patterned upon the bill prepared
by the senate committee on privileges and
and elections reported by Senator Hoar , but
carries the principle of the petition for Judi
cial intcrforenco further in that It permits
fifty or moro voters in a county
or parish , Instead of 100 voters , to sccuw
the benefits of the supervisory system.
It provides punishment for any person who
shall chungo the position of boxes Intended
for n congressional ballot with the Intention
to d'.colvo. The chief supervisor In each
election district Is required to keep n poll
list and a list of rejected votes , showing the
reasons for their rejection. Ho Is also re
quired separately to receive these rejected
ballots , place the nnmo of the voter upon the
back end enclose them In separate enve
lopes. The supervisors nro also required to
inspect all ballots us they are being can
vassed and counted by the local election offi
cers and to make o separate return of the
result of the vote , being governed by the laws
of the state in the counts , except as otherwise
provided by the act. They ore also to In
spect the returns for representatives and
delegates In congress made by the local Inspectors
specters of elections and to note whether
or not they disagree with their own returns.
In case the polls nro not opened within one
hour from the tlmo fixed by the state law It
is made the duty of the supervisor to open
them to ballot for representatives nnd dele
gates for congress only nnd to conduct tli(3 (
election nnd make returns according to the
state law.
In each judicial district a canvnssing'lioard
is to bo created , composed of the chief super
visor , the United States district attorney nnd
the United States marshal. This board
is to correct imperfect returns , with
tlio assistance of the supervisor , tabu
late the returns for representatives and
delegates and furnish copy to the attorney
general and clerk of the house ol representa
tives. This latter oilleer is to examine the
returns where the result conflicts with the
return of the local , canvassing board to the
extent of returning a different person to con
gress. Persons so certified shall bu placed on
the roll cf members until tlio house decides
which has been duly elected.

UTIOA , N. Y. , MayS A largo portion of the
Chcnango county buildings , located at Pros *
ton , near Norwich burned nt midnight lost
night and ten inmates , possibly more , were
burned. The buildings destroyed were nn ,
asylum , In which were about eighty Initiated
and n pauper house and Idiot ward in which
wcro forty inmates.
Both were three-story wooden buildings in
good repair , having wings of two stories In
height. They were valued nt &r > , COO ; in >
surcd for $10,000 , and are a total loss.
The horrible part of the disaster was the ,
burning of ten idlo.ts who were penned lu
their cells nnd rousted alive.
The origin of the lire was probably from
smouldering sparks of a slight lire which oc
curred Wednesday afternoon. '
Deborah Dlbblo , a feeble-minded old
woman , was smoking a pipe and set her clothIng -
Ing and bedding on llro and was burned fa
tally before the flames could bo extinguished.
Her corpse was buried last night.
It is supposed the llro started from some
undiscovered smouldering sparks from this j
event. The keeper was awakened by the
paupers and attempted to release the Idiots } t
but were driven buck by the llro. Ho then ) '
Jim through the other buildings In his nigh *
clothes rescuing the Inmates. Some of them '
escaped and took to the woods , where thp
shod II and deputies are hunting for them to

are :

wood , Sarah Ballev , Laura Gray , Dubnrah
Dibble , Murv ' O. Daniels , Almcdn Austin ,
Adolia ncncd'lct.
Keeper Mnlnwarlng rescued several at the
peril of his llfo.
The Bccno at the burning w < is Indescribable ,
and the horrors of Longuo Pointo were re-
cnnctcd on n smaller scale. The demented
and terror stricken inmates wandered
around the burning piles In a hopeless
manner. The great wooden building ! !
lit up the hills for miles around. A buckoo
brigade was formed and about n hundred la
bored to save the smaller buildings in the
roar.

cue the poor Inmates , who were all securely

CHICAGO , May S. [ Special Telegram toTim
Bii.J : : The spirit of revenge still runs high
in the hearts of those Chicago anarchists who
four years ago caused the .streets of the Hay-
market to run crimson with the blood of the
officers of tlio law. In those days , when
anarchy ran riot and the very nrm of tlio law
was half paryll/cd with fear , Frederick Ebcr-
sold , us chief of police , was the intrepid
spirit that hounded the dynamiters to thelir
dons und finally brought llvo of their loaders
to the gallows. Silica that time prob.ibly a
half do/.on attempts have been made on the
life of the grizzled cx-clilef , who now occupies
the position of inspector of police. The latest
attempt was only lust evening. Ebursold had
left his olllco ut the Harrison street station
and was making homeward when a train
momentarily obstructed his passage at the
Hock Island depot and Harrison street
Whllo awaiting the train's passing a torpedo *
placed on the track exploded with terrible
violence. Purtiuloa of it myl Hying debris
struck tho' Inspector In. the face , lor n mo
ment stunning him almost to n point of un
consciousness. Ho clutched the gate till ho
regained strength and with much effort )
walked homo. An Inquiry Into the ease de
veloped HOIIIO startling facts. Some one hail
placed the torpedo on the track with a full
knowledge that tlio Inspector wan waiting n >
chance to get across thu track. A in/In / was
scon to follow Mr. Ebcrsold from this .station ,
and whllo the latter was .standing nt the guto
rushed by him , dropping the cxplostvn just in
front of him. Who tlio man was could not bo
learned. The opinion obtains that the accident
of lust night was planned by the sumo man ,
who n few days ago did u similar thing whllo
the Inspector was on a Wubash strri-t wir.
The official was standing on the front plat
form smoking when the explosion occurred.
The concussion was so powerful that the rnr
was lifted several inches from the track. Mr.
Kborsold'H hut wns thrown from his bond and
his cigar dashed Into the street , The oc
cupants of the car were for u moment pimlo-
strleXen , The ladles screamed and tlio men
lumped to the ground In the wildest confus
ion. Officer McCarthy ran from the sldo-
wnllc und searched the persons who were
present when the explosion occurred , but
