A GLIXKAU CRANK.
Surveyor Beattie Shot in His Room
by an > ifttoe Seeker.
New York, Nov I.—Surveyor Beattie
was shot about noon to-day in his office
at the custom house by a discharged
inspector, who fired fiveor six shots. Tbe
survivor’s would-be assassin is Louis
Bieral, a man woo gained some distinc
tion in tbe late war between the States.
He was for about a dozen years attached
to tbe custom house. About a week ago
tbe Surveyor dismissed him from the ser
v.oe on its being proven that be was in
the habit of exacting monev Irom poor
emigrants at Castle Garden, where bo
was lately stationed. The specified
charge on which he was removed was
compelling an emigrant to pay $2 duty on
a sewing machine.
ENTERING THE OFFICE.
He gained access to the Surveyor’s pri
vate office shortly alter noon while the
Surveior was alone, fired the sfiois and
rushed from the room. He was seen and
followed by a crowd, and becoming fright
ened lest be come to barm at his pursuers’
h inds, he ran into the arms of a police
man and begged to be arrested. Surveyor
B- attie bas two wounds—one through the

does not seem likely to prove fatal.
KNIGHTS AND TRADES UNIONS.
Printers Opposed to Utterances ol
the Recent Convention.
Philadelphia, Oct. 30.—The action of
tbe Richmond Convention of tne Knignts
of Labor in passing, during tbe closing
days of the meeting, resolutions that
members of tbe Cigarmakers’ Union, woo
wer| also members of tbe Knignts of
Labor, would have to leave either their
union or tne Knights, and also in adopt
ing resolutions requesting mercy for the
condemned Chicago anarcrusts, is cre
ating widespread dissatisfaction among
workingmen woo are loyal supporters
of their trades uniotis and who
have no sympathy with the an
arcoists. In discussing the matter yes
terday James Welsh, President ol the
Philadelphia Typographical Union, said:
“ihe action of the convention witb re
gard to tbe cigarmakers is an indication
oi the spirit existing toward ail trades
unions, and wecouid ntver agree witb it,
tor we would adhere to our union in pre
ference to any other labor organization.
We contend, as do other unions, that we
know our own particular bus ness better
thaiy tbe general organization of the
Knignts could hope to; and a direct
promise was given to tbe convention ot
the International Typographical Ui ion at
Pittsburg in June last by two represen
tatives sent by Mr. Powderly that there
should and would be no conflict bet ween
tbe Knights of La or and tbe trades
unions. Ido not believe that Mr. Pow
dery approved of those two acts of the
convention. They were passed through
tbe influenceof tue Home Club, whicn
t ok advantage ot the absence of a large
number of delegates wno had gone home
toward tne clots of tbe ssasiou, sad ma
nipulated affairs to suit its own ideas.
We entirely repudiate any sympathy with
anarchistic metbodsand their supporters,
and there ore I was obliged to decline
the invitation to speak at tbe
Academy of Music demons!ration on Sat
uiday nigot. Tbe very unwise course
pursued by the convention will undoubt
e ily have ibe effect el greatly weakening
the organization. 1 fully believe in that
body when properly conducted and man
aged, and 1 hope that the good sense ol
the majority will prevail to the correction
oITu se errors. Unless they be corrected
and tbe convention’s action recalled,
many assembl.es w ill repudiate it.”
“How could that be arranged, the con
vention bavlug adjourned ?”
“Unless by some special method, tbe
next convention would nave to settle it.
1 hope, buwev r, that sum • means may be
found to recall those resolutions iu order
that tbs Knights’ organization may be
preserved in its lull sirengtn.”

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2,18887
TWO FIGHTING SAURIAN’S,
An Arizona Lizard the Victor Over
a Florida Alligator.
Washington, Oct. 31.—A rare combat
took place F'ridsv afternoon in a building
Occupied by the Fish Commission between
two little pets of that institution, whose
likes have probably never found them
selves in such close proximity since the
age of featherless birds, winged reptiles
and* web-footed quadrupeds. Toe aggres
sor and victor was the newly-arrived
Gila monster from tbe Gila river, in Ari
zona. tbe only species of lizard whose bite
is known to lie poisonous, and tne vic
tim was a two-year-old alligator from
Florida. Tbe monster is fourteen incUes
long and about twice tbe weight ot
his antagonist. Both reptiles were in a
semi torpid condition, having ceased to
take food a week or two ago, and bad been
removed from tbeir glass cases and
Placed beside each other upon tbe stone
floor. An attendant inadvertently
touch 'd tbe alligator's tail and caused
him to move sluggishly onward a few
inches, where be came in contact witb
tbe blunt nose of tne monster. Tb- snakv
eyes of tbe latter lighted up witb a gleam
of batanic malevolence, its black lips
opened wide and its jaws closed witb a
snap upon the lorepaw of the alligator.
The prisoner developed unexpected
activity, ar.d though taken at a
sad disadvantage made tor a time a gal
lant tight (or its liberty and its life. Its
movements were marvelously quick, and
its javs olos a a dozen times iu succes
sion upon tbe mailed bead ot tbe assailant.
It soon, however, became exhausted, and
moaning like a suffering cbiid it relapsed
into quietude. Tbe attendants tried tore
lease tne wretched alligator, but were
c inpelled to be very careful in handling
the venomous lizard. He was seized by
tbe tail and held up in tbe air, taken by
the bloated neck and choked severely,
plunged under water and maltreated in
otner wars, but to no purpose. Then
sharp wires were thrust i to bis nos-, and
finally a large trowel was forced into nis
mouth, but such w as tbe force of his grip
that the sieel blade, though considerably
bent in the effort, tailed to release tbe im
prisoned paw. Then the pair were re
placed in the glass case which had been
occupied by the monster, and again the
alligator renewed its struggles, thrashing
its en -my with its tail and snapping at it
with its Jaws. In its struggles it had dis
located its shoulder and its imprisoned
limb became limp and powerless. Its
moanings were pitiful, and tbe attendants
w T ere moved to renewed and at last suc
cessful efforts to effect a separation.
The trowel was reintroduced into the
monster’s mouth with no very gentle
thrusts, and probably effected a severe
wound In some tender part. Bubbles of
grayish slime were exuded from mouth
and nostr Is. and fina-ly the jaws slowly
opened. Even then it was a work of sev
eral niinut-s to disengage tbe hooked
fangs Irom tbe wounded paw. The com
batants were placed in their separ .te re
ceptacles, tbe monster lapping his thick,
black Ups with bis greenish forked
tongue, while the alligator closed its eves
probably to die of the venom in its sys
tem, ,
A FICKLE FAIR ONE.
She Jilted Her Lover AVho Came
From the West.
Louisville, Ky.. Oct. 27.—Lieut. John
Sebon, of the United States army, ar
rived here last night from his post in the
Coeur d’Alene, Idaho Territory, and he
came on a Ltrlough. expecting to be mar
ried here on Nov, 17. To-night at 6
o’clock his sweetheart married anotner
man. When a year ago it was an.
nounced that tbe President would
appoint ten lieutenants in the reg.
ular army, to be chosen by competitive
examination, John Senon was one of
about 210 app.icams, aud in ttie examina
tion stood one of tb-first. Returning to
Louisville in the pride of success he re
newed his addresses to Miss Mary Allen,
a beautitul girl ot 17, who had come here
from Dixon Springs. Tenn., to boarding
school, and had recently graduated. She
was here in her first season in society,
visiting her aunt, Mrs. H. P. Field, and,
caught by a woman’s fancy for a soldier,
she engaged herself to Sehon.
Later she met Samuel Bush, a hand
some voung tellow, popular in society,
tne son of ihe Stale Librarian. Mrs. Lucy
Bush. He had become clerk in the Audi
tor’s office of the Louisvillo, Evansville
and St. Louis railroad, and lived with his
moiher in this city. They fell in love, and
for a time were much together. About
the beginning oi this affair Sebon was
called away to his army appointments,
and before they became hopelessly in
volved Bush and Miss A!l-n quarreled.
Miss Allen went tor a season in Washing
ton, kept up her correspondence with
Sebon and set u,e day upon Nov. 17 next
aud tue place Louisville.
Sebon furnished a house handsomely at
the post in Idaho, and set out on bis long
journey boasting to his brother officers of
the beautiful Southern girl he would bring
back. Meanwhile Miss Allen bad come
hack to Louisville, met Bush and renewed
their affair, contrary to the wish ot her
parents and her aunt. A litile more than
a week ago she agreed to marry Bush, it
is claimed she telegrapned Sehon, but lie
never received the message. Tne wed
ding witb Bush was set for 1 o'clock
today. When Miss Allen learned
this ’ morning that Sehon had re
turned sue landed away. When she re
cover'd tier friends urged a postponement
and tried to persuade her to marry Sehou.
Stic was not able to go to the church at 1
o’clock, but still held out lor Bush. They
were married by Btenop l’enock, of St.
Andrew’s, and they took the evening train
for Lexington.
Sehon Is a nephew of Gen. M. H.
Wright, wno lost his life in the disastrous
cotton fire last Januury, aud cousin of
Lieut. Sehon Wrignt, wno graduated last
summer at West Point.

nation to have committed suicide. Poison
enough to have cau-ed the deatu of two
men was found in his stomach. He was

GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS.
Matters of Money and Management
About Various Lines.
Tbe Sou to western Railway Associa
tion. on Oct. 25, completed the tenth year
of its existence.
The Canadian government has ap
pointed a “Koya! Commission on Rail
ways,” which held its first session in To
ronto last week.
Work on tbe great tunnel of the Balti
more and Ohio road in Philadelphia is
n*>armg completion, and if 1- assertel
that be 1 ore the end of tb** y a** through
trains will be running between Baltimore
and New York.
A highly important step toward uni
formity and safety has been accomplished
oy tbe formulation ol a oode of rules and
signals for tram movement by a com
mittee of eminjnt managers and superin
tendents and its approval by tbe general
time convention.
Tbe Orlando Reporter says the rolling
stock for the Tavares, Apopka and Gulf
railroad will arrive within the next fifteen
days. It is also informed that tne coaches
are exceedingly handsome and cannot be
surpassed by any railroad in tbe South.
The graders are working from both ends
of tbe road, and there only remains a gap
of about three miles. When this has been
closed the entire grade between Kissim
mee and Tavares will have been com
fib-ted. The iron is also being rapidly
laid, and it Will not be lung until trains
are running.
Tbe Charleston News aDd Courier says
editorially: “It is gratifying to know
that President Raoul, of tae Central rail
road of tteorzia, has a stronger hold upon
the confidence ol tbe stockholders of the
corporation ho represents taan ever be
fore, and that there is now little doubt
that he will oe retained in tne office he
fills so admirably. Mr. Raoul is a worthy
successor of Col. W. .M. Wadiey, the first
railroad king of Georgia. He has de
veloped a wonderful fertility of resources,
and manages tne important interests
committed to his keeping with signal
fidelity and ability.”
Discrimination In Freight Kates.
The words “discrimination in freight
charges” used iu a statute embrace an
“overcharge” for the transportation of
freight, according to the decision of tbe
Texas Court of Appeals in the case of
Missouri Paedfic Railway vs. Parkhurst.
Hit Coal C irn*rft.
The officials of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company state that their shipments
of coal over tbeir system this year will
amount to 16,090,000 tons, against 14,000,-
000 tons last year. The company is still
complaining of a scarcity 01 cars, not
withstanding 75,000 cars are in use on its
system, and that the shops of the com
pany are working day aud nigut turning
out equipment.
Liability lor Lo** of Baggage.
A railroad company insures the safety
of each passenger’s baggage, carrying
such baggage being merely incidental to
the contract for carrying Us owner; and
the liability continues, even when the
passenger takes his baggage into a sleep
ing car and gives it in charge of the por
ter thereof. The railroad cannot limit its
liability by any special arrangement with
the Sleeping Car Comjianv, because, so
long as the sleeper forms part of tbe train,
negligence on the part of the sleeping car
agents is the negligence of the railroad
company running tbe train.— Louisville
and Nashville and Great Southern Rail
road Company vs. Caizenberger, Sup. Ct.
of Tennessee.
“Put Out” Damages.
The liability of railroads for the proper
care of passengers was brought out in the
Supreme Court of New York in the case
of the Bay City and Michigan Railway
Company vs. Sheridan, administrator. A
boy had paid his fare and was seated
with another boy of his own age, when he
was requested by the conductor to vacate
his seat to some adipt passengers, which
he did, but found another seat near the
rear end ot said car. He was again re
quested by tbe conductor to vacate, but
objecting to give up their seats, the boys
were “put out” of their places by the
conductor. One boy was crowded aud
pushed by the passengers in the car out
on the platform,’ which was also full of
people. While there, and the car iu mo
tion, a lellow passenger rusheu to the plat
form to get off, ami the boy was thrown off
the oar, run over and injured, from which
injuries be died. The court held that
where the boy was compelled by the con
ductor ot a railway train to stand u; on
the platform ot a crowded car, and while
there was thrown from the car by the
hasty and careless departure of another
passenger, that the wrongful act of such
pass user did not relieve the company
from the consequences of its wrongful act
In placing the deceased upon the jilat
forrn, and were responsible for the dam
ages sustained by him. It also held that
a sick or aged person, or a child, is en
titled to more care trom the conductor
and trainmen than one in good heqlth and
under no disability. He is entitled to
more time in which to get on or off the
car, and to more consideration in gen
