tacked.
Chicago, November 13.—A. A. Carlton,
representing the general executive board
of the Knights ofLabor in connection with
the union stockyards strike, being inter
viewed to-day, would not commit himself
on the question of the probable result of
the meeting. He said, however, that while
the strike was still a local affair only, he
was here to look after the good of the en
tire body. The terms of its settlement
would need to have more than merely a
local significance. He did not think
there was any probability of
a boycott being ordered, the
packers having rescinded their resolution
to employ non-union men only, strikers
were disarmed so far as a boycott was con
cerned, and the question at issue was
simply that of hours. The conference was
held to-day between Hately, a member of I
the packers’ executive committee. Carle-
ton and Congressman Frank Lawler.
There is no explanation of how Lawler
comes in the case. Hately says his first
knowledge of Lawler was when a message
wus received from Lawler asking for a
conference, which was agreed to. Hately
called the attention of Lawler and Carle-
ton to the schedule showing the rate of
wages paid at Chicago and other points.
Em claimed that the rate in Chicago,
taking into consideration ten hours a day,
was 25 per cent higher than any place
else. The conference lasted until high
when Carleton and Lawer
Representative Darwin R. James, of;
New York, says the political centres are
shifting. The free trade sentiment, he ;
says, is getting around to the east, and pro- !
teetionists are getting stronger in the south I
and west. He believes that in the end pro
tection will prevail. “In Massachusetts,
and through "New England generally, we
see an advance toward free trade, while in
Virginia, Alabama to some extent, North
Carolina and Louisiana the people are

were bowed out by Hately, who was evi
dently in a very happy state of mind.
None of the trio would give any informa
tion about the talk except to say that it
was of an official and purely private nature.
Lawler appeared very anxious to have the
fact of his presence kept from the public,
fearing, as he said, that the knowledge
that he was interesting himself in the mat
ter would cause the strikers to
think that the negotiations had
assumed a political complexion
and lengthen the deplorable contest.
Carleton said he had nothing to say be
yond the fact that he had a very
full and pleasant discussion of
the situation with H' tely, who
is a member of the executive committee of
the packers’ association, and was in hopes
tha an amicable solution of the knotty
problem would be reached at an early day.
Hatley was in a non committal frame of
mind. He was willing to say that Carle
ton was the most conservative and reason
able of the many men he had talked with,
but beyond that he was not willing to go.
All was quiet and orderly at the yards to
day.
About 4:30 o’clock this afternoon a crowd
of nearly 200 strikers gathered about the
dwelling of Armour’s employe who was
attacked yesterday, while attempting to
move his household goods to another
neighborhood. The ire of the strikers
against this man is owing to the fact that
he is a Knight of Labor and refused to go
out with the others. He again hud his
goods upon wagons this afternoon when
set upon by the mob. Company E, of the
first regiment arrived before much
damage was done and charg
ed the mob, which fell back.
Company E then divided into detach
ments, which were stationed at street cor
ners in the vicinity, a patrol wagon load
of Pinkerton’s men being left to protect
the goods of the unpopular employe. An
other crowd was quickly organized and
had nearly overpowered the Pinkerton
guard when company C of the second regi
ment arrived on double quick, and, charg
ing through the mob, arrested six men and
put the others to rout. No casualties are
reported.
BRAVE MISS FEENEY.
She <1 nipples With n Burglur, nml Secures the
Capture of two JInrnuilor*.
Cincimmati, November 13.—An inter-
estingstory of the adventure of two women
was related in the police court yesterday,
When Ed Hooter, aged twenty-three, and
John Johnson, aged twenty-one, were ar
raigned on the charge of burglary. Mrs.
Mary Feeney, a widow, lives with her
daughter Annie, a young lady, at No. 3S
Central avenue. Early yesterday morning
the latter wus awakened by the barking of
the house dog in the back yard. She
crept to the rear door and soon dis
covered that two men were trying,
to break in. She summoned her mother,
and then, suddenly throwing open
the door, grappled with one. of the men.
Both women at the same time, began to
scream at the top of their voices. The
other burglar fled, and in a few minutes
the one held by the girl managed to jerk
loose, but not until Miss Feeney had
identified him as a tough young man
named Ed Hooter, living near by. Feeney
followed Hoetor, and meeting Merchants
Policeman Fanning sent him in pursuit.
The oUicer found Hooter on one of the
coal-boats at the foot of Central avenue in
company with Johnson. Both were arrest
ed and taken to Third-street station. Then-
cases were continued until the 12th.
THE TALK OF POLITICIANS.
Theories About the Recent mentions—fflint
Conarressmeii Say ofthe Results.
Washington, November 13.—The in
coming members of the house of repre
sentatives are being called upon, promptly
upon their arrival lo give opinions about
the causes of the results ol election day.
Mr. Boyle, of Pennsylvania, says b:s dis
trict was lost, as other democratic districts
were, by oarty divisions. The Virginia re
sult he attributes to opposition to the ad
ministration, but he does not bold the ad
ministration responsible for the disap
pointment of office-seekers. 1 he more
offices they got,” he said, “the worse it
Was. As lar as the congressmen were con
cerned, every appointment they got made
them enemies. I don’t mean to
say that the civil service had no effect, but
it didn’t amount to much. As a general
-as something mat am “ I.
link that order for officeholders not to
ike any part in politics weakened us

llowed to use their offices for political
urposes or to neglect their duties and

ot at the same time to have their hands
ed altogether and not be allowed to act

:rued it did harm.”
“How about the tariff.”
“I don’t think there is any change on that
uestion. The election turned more on

lated by protectionists, but they have
robably always been in his district, only
his time they were organized.”

much al
Mr. Cleveland; it looks that way. I don’t
know just howit is, but there is something
about his bulldog way of taking hold of
things that is popular. There is no use de
nying it, he has got a hold ou the people
somehow.”
“Do you think the republicans will nom
inate Blaine?”
“I don’t know,” he continued, thought
fully. “He might be able to carry New
York. I can’t tell. He would certainly
lose more republican votes than he did be
fore, but he will make big gains among
the Irish. I don’t know what the result
would be.”
Mr. Don M. Dickinson, the democratic j
“boss” in Michigan, regards it as signifi- ;
cant that with the help of Foraker, Blair, i
Reed, Boutelle and others the republicans 1
barely pulled through in Michigan, where !
the democrats made merely a domestic i
fight, gaining 3003 to 3500 votes in the up- ;
per peninsula. He says the “tariff is what’s i
doing it,” but that republicans fused with
the free-traders to carry the state of Min
nesota. When asked how the administra
tion stands with the people of Michigan
he answered: “We are proud of it; we ;
are proud of the administration and its ;
policy; we are proud of its civil service j
policy. There may be some disappointed i
office seekers, but they don’t count for j
anything.”
Col. John Atkinson, of Michigan, says : j
“We are mighty glad to get the state. It i
was a hard fight.” He said it was un- |
usual, as the republicans generally get i
good majorities in the state elections, but
not always as strong on the judicial. The
free trade sentiment is growing in the
state, particularly among the manufactur
ers on the peninsula. It is brought about
by the Knights of Labor. Henry George
had been up through there aud they are
pretty much all free traders.
THEY RECOMMEND FISH’S PARDON.
Two IMijn’icIiuis Examine Him in 1‘risim ami Say
That lie Cannot IJve Long.
Auburn, November 12.—Dr. John G.
Johnson, of Brooklyn, the family physician
of James D. isb in his prosperous days,
arrived in Auburn early this morning and
immediately after breakfast, called upon
Fish’s daughter, who is living quietly on
east Genesee street. After a brief consul
tation with Miss Fish Dr. Johnson went to
the state prison, where he was met by
Prison Physician Hoxie. Mr. Fish was
called to the warden’s room, and the two
physicians made a thorough examination
of the physical condition of the oonviot.
They agreed that, physically and mentally.
Fish was so broken down that he could
not survive longer confinemen . A report
of the examination in detail, recommend
ing Fish’s pardon on these grounds, will
be prepared tor the consideration of Presi
dent Cleveland and signed by both physi
cians.
Dr. Johnson informed the Sun corres
pondent before taking the II o’clock train
for Brooklyn that he had been requested
by the district attorney of New York, as
Fish’s family physician, to come and make
this examination, upon the report of which
the president’s decision on the petition of
Fish’s pardon will be largely based. Dr.
Johnson said that rupture in the right side
made it difficult for Fish to stand up, and
that enlargement of the prostate gland
prevented him from resting at night. Dia
betes had also reached an advanced stage.
“In fact,” said Dr. Johnson. “Fish is in
the same condition as was William H.
Vanderbilt just before his death. Through
the granular condition of his eyelids he is
aim ist blind, and though a line penman
at the time 1 was his family physician, he
can now hardly write legibly. He cannot
work, he cannot live much longer, and he
should be pardoned ttiat he may die out
side prison walls. The prison physician
and myself have agreed to a report to that
effect. The report will he made out at
once and presented to the president with
the petition for Fish’s pardon. It will not
be made public until in the hands of the
president.’’
HIS COMMENT WAS MUSCULAR.
Critic, Sporting Editor and Correspondent in a
Heroic Battle.
St. Louis, November 13.—The office of
the Critic, a weekly journal devoted to so
cial gossip, polities, sporting and dramatic
news, was the scene of a lively encounter
yesterday. When Jim Carroll, the bank
robber, wus arrested here several weeks
ago and taken back to Galesburg, 111., the
Cr.tic published what purported to be a
sketch of Carroll’s career in Chicago and
Springfield, 111. The article contained a
reflection on a Chicago newspaper man,
recognized as John A. Corwin by his inti
mate friends. Mr. Corwin was in
St. Louis yesterday on his way
home from Waterloo, 111., where he
had interviewed Congressman Morrison
on the latter’s defeat, and dropped into
the Critic office with Hatsell, of the
Chicago News, to pay his respects to the
managing editor, J. H. P. Irwin. Mr. Ir
win and he had been well acquainted as
newspaper men in Chicago and Spring-
field, 111., having reported a session of the
Illinois legislature together at the latter
place. As Mr. Corwin entered the back
editorial office Mr. Irwin recognized him,
and nutting out bis hand, said: “Howdy
do, John?” “I don’t shake hands with
you,” replied Corwin. “Take that,” and
he let out his right at the managing editor i
of the Critic. From this point Ihe ac- [
counts differ widely. One report has it I
that Irwin dodged the blow, causing Cor- .
win to hit the corner of a door, and that |
the sporting editor of the Critic then took |
a hand and knocked Corwin senseless and
that it was some time before he was resus- j
citated. The other account, however, is
very favorable to the Chicago man. He
not only knocked both of Erwin’s eyes into !
one. but laid the sporting editor of the
paper out also, receiving in return only a .
scratch -beneath his left eye. This was the
only mark of violence which Mr. Corwin s
face showed last night and he seemed to be
very exultant over what he considered a
great victory. Corwin denies that he ever
had anything to do with Carroll other than
to work him for news when he (Carroll;
was a police reporter of a Chicago paper
ten years ago.

New York, November 13.—Dr. Jere
miah O’Sullivau, his divorced wife Katie
and Horace Latto, a dentist, all of Brook
lyn. were prisoners at the Twelfth precinct
police station in that city yesterday—O’Sul
livan on the charge of attempting to shoot
his wife and Latto aud Mrs. O’Sullivan as
witnesses. The shooting occurred in the
rooms of the dentist at No. 1588 Fulton
street, Brooklyn, where Mrs. O Sullivan
claims to have gone to have her teeth
filled. O’Sullivan, oil the contrary, charges
that an improper intimacy exists between I
Mrs. O’Sullivan and Latto, and that en- I
raged at detecting them together he en- j
deavored to shoot them. The police are j
disposed to discredit the husband's story ;
and intimate that the affair is the result of |
a deliberate plot engineered by O’Sullivan I
to secure the annulment of the orck-r com
pelling him to pay alimony to Mrs. O Sul
livan, upon whose application a limited
divorce was recently granted.
Mrs. O’Sullivan is a pretty brunette. 20
yearsold. Her divorced husband is a man
turned forty. According to her story she
made an engagement with Dentist Charles
Latto' to call at his office to-day and have
her teeth lilled. Yesterday at noon the
dentist’s younger brother, Horace Latto, 19
years old, called at her residence, No. 405
Macon street, and asked her to go then in
stead. Mrs. O’Sullivan consented and
reached the office about 2:30 o’clock She
removed her hat and wrap, and while
waiting for young Latto to come from a
rear room with the gold tilling, she heurd
the report of a pistol and felt a pain in her
right elbow. Turning uround with a
shriek, Mrs. O’Sullivan saw her former
husband aiming a pistol at young Latto.
As she fell to the floor the doctor fired at
him. One bullet took a piece out of Mrs.
O’Sullivan’s sleeve and the other buried
itself in the wall. O’Sullivan seized young
Latto, and putting the pistol at his head,
ordered him to confess.
“There’s no use denying it,” exclaimed
the dentist. “We've been omigbt.”
At this juncture Policeman Muldoon
came in and placed the parties under
arreit. Upon reaching the station, O’Sul
livan said to his wife:
“Now, Katie, if you will only confess all
you will be all ri^ht, and the newspapers
won’t got hold of it.”
“Do you think I would perjure myself
and swear away my honor for yon ?’’ the
little woman exclaimed. “No I even if that
accomplice of yours there (pointing to
Latto) is our enough to lie for you, I
won’t.”
O’Sullivan and Latto were locked up, the
latter being held as a witness. Mrs. O'Sul
livan was detained in Capt. Folk’s office
until a bondsman arrived. Then she was
released oil $500 bail.
The captain questioned all three very
closely. Latto sustained the husband’s
story, but had not the appearance of a per
son who had come within an ace of having
his brains blown out, and this excited the
captain’s suspicion. He could not give
any satisfactory reason for asking Mrs.
O'Sullivan to call at the office yesterday,
and this increased the captain’s suspicions.
On the other hand Mrs. O’Suliivan proved
that she asked her sister to accompany her
to the office and did not want to go with
out her.
Mrs. O'Sullivan has a singular history.
When her father, Win. S. Gardiner, took
up his residence in Herkimer street, near
Utica avenue, she was a child in short
dresses. O’Sullivan made her acquaintance
in a drugstore, which he owned at No. 1558
Fulton street. About two years ago lie
began calling on Miss Gardiner. On De
cember 5 last they were married in the
presence of lawyeis representing both par
ties, and nobody knew of the ceremony
except Miss Gardiner’s family. The reason
for this catne out in the supreme court af
terwards, when she sued O’Sullivan for a
limited divorce. She satisfied the jury that
she hud been compelled to marry him, al
leging that one evening in 1885, when her
parents were in the country, O'Sullivan
had drugged and ruined her in her father’s
house.O’Sullivan vainly endeavored to have
judgment, which gave his wife $8 a week
alimony, set aside, but after live attempts
failed. They never lived together a day.
To a World reporter Mrs. O’Sullivan
said last night: “I never liked him, but
be forced his attentions upon me. He was
twenty-two years older than me, and there
was nothing about him that would win a
young girl’s love. He has threatened to
kill my father and sister as well as myself,
and yesterday he nearly succeeded. Does
it look as though I had an engagement
with Latto when I begged my sister to go
with me? Detectives have been hired to
watch me in order to make me do some
thing rasii. There is a woman in this
neighborhood whom O’Sullivan has been
going to see and is anxious to marry, but
the limited divorce stands in his way.
“My husband was secreted in that room
when I went in. The main door was not
opened until the people who heard the
shooting came in. If this does not kill my
poor father I will expose the plot.”
Mr. O’Sullivan’s family are well-to-do
arid are well connected in New England.

New York, November 13.—The stock j
market to-day was again extremely irregu
lar, though prices in Ihe morning showed j
gains which in many cases were lost in the l
afternoon. The prominent advances, a, ;
usual, were in special stocks, while New 1
York and New lira and Manhattan were
specially weak. Reports of rate cutting in j
the west seemed to have little effect upon i
prices, as did also the unusually favorable j
bank statement. Richmond and West |
Point was the special feature of the day, i
although its advance is fractional only.
Reports of a settlement with the Danville
company were circulated, and on that the
terminal people were buying Danville
stock. The latter advanced 6.
The opening was irregular, but
declines from last evening’s final prices
were in the majority. Half a dozen of the
stocks monopolized the interest in early
trading, the general list being dull. Prices
showed some weakness in the first few
minutes, but the market soon rallied and
advanced steadily until after 1 o’clock. In
the last hour heavy realizing carried prices
back, and the market closed rather heavy.
Final change.? are irregular, but in the ma

Boston, November 10.—“The president
is in the next ear,” wus the first, thing 1
heard on crawling out of my berth on tlie
Boston sleeper yesterday morning. Hastily
dressing, 1 made my way to the rear plat
form only to be confronted with a blue-
coated militia man, measuring at, least 0
feet5 inches,who, in the most high-handed
manner, presented his bayonet at my de
fenseless front, and suggested 1 remain on
my platform. In vain I allowed I was an
old schoolmate of Grover’s; that he and 1
had been brought up, as it were, together—
in the same state. It was no go; no kept
his bayonet at the same angle. So not
deeming him a man to be crawled over, 1
acknowledged his point and fell back in
good order.
Boston gave the president n grand re
ception. Notwithstanding the early hour,
crowds were at the depot to meet him.
The line of march was packed with peo
ple as thick as paving stones. The presi
dential party was delayed beyond its sched
ule some three hours on the return trip,
yet this vast multitude patiently held
their places in the face of a biting Boston
wind. Querry: Is it patriotism or curiosity
that makes the American people endure
so much to gaze on greatness?
(n the absence of the anti-Garland suit I
could have borrowed at home, I declined
a card to the Vendome reception,
with the only regret of missing a sight of
the beautiful face of the first lady of the
land.
Bostonians, who are severe critics, pro
nounce Mrs. Cleveland a charming woman
of rare intelligence.
While in Richmond the other day I was
the guest of a friend who was chairman of
the committee on entertainment during
the president’s late visit to that city.When
asked wlmt he thought of Mr. Cleveland
socially, he said:
“I found him a bourbon democrat of the
first water; in fact, we bail one together in
which the latter article did not enter.”
He met the president and found his vice.
From the number of times tie dragged me
up to tho front of his sideboard to mix
sugar in water with a little “Virginia hos
pitality,” I think he must have thought
his committee work had only begun.
Some things arc mighty cheap in Boston.
The omnibus fare is now three cents. One
can take a ’bus to Young’s for three cents,
get as good dinner (wines extra) for $3,
aud if the party is plensant you may get
home at 3—next morning. Young’s is the
biggest bonanza out. 1 was reliably in
formed that the profit on the restaurant
will average the year round $1000 a day. A
representative of the Atlanta Constitution
I met here told me that his paper received
about $40,000 a year from the north for ad
vertisements. I am glad to know that
some ofthe money we leave here finds its
way back to old Georgia.
A light snow fell in New York last Sun-
burg railroad to-day the car inspector,
while passengers were getting on and off
the cars at the depot, discovered three
dynamite bombs and caps fastened under
the springs of the rear coach. The bombs
were carefully removed and there were
many pale faces among the passengers
when they learned the fate they had so
narrowly escaped. The train starts from
Punxutawney every morning and it is un
doubtedly at that place that the bombs
were placed. It is twenty miles from the
place of starting, and how it was possible
for n train to run that distance, over short
curves, with that amount of dynamite
under tlie springs of a coach is a mystery.
Thirty-four persons were in the coach.
Suspicion points directly to no personas
the perpetrator, but the railroad authori
ties will try to bring the criminal to jus
tice.

siring to pay my respe -ts to the statue of
liberty, I captured a friend, took the ele
vated for the battery, from which place
we soon embarked on a small steam tug
that inakeB the round trip for a quarter.
Bedloe’s is just, beyond Governor’s island
in the bay. You see tho statue from the
start. At that distance it looks about
half the height of tlie bell tower. Tlie
bay was very rough. One party became
quite sea sick. Slio was a very handsome
woman, dressed to kill. When she fainted
clear away I expressed to my compmion
my sympathy fur the fair frail creature.
He rolled his more experienced eye, shut
the oLlior, and suggested she was more
frail than fair. I turned my eyes buck
toward liberty and remembered
I had lost mine. My friend pointed out a
prominent actor who was pleasantly en
gaged talking to a leading actress. I sug
gested they were probably on a bridal
tour. Alas! not so. Thu gentleman’s
wife was starring through the west, and
the lady’s husband was old and at home.
They seemed to gaze at the statue with
very advanced ideas of liberty. Arriving
at the base of the statue you .arc awed by
its immensity. One hundred and fifty feet
in height on a granite pedestal85 feet high,
makes it the largest \v ,,r k of the kind
known to the ancient or modern world.
From luck of an appropriation of the sixty
dollars a day necessary to run the light, it
is still shrouded in darkness. Home writer
in last Sunday's Times hits it hard in a
few lines which he no doubt feels is
Uieantic goddess, whose unmeaning eyes,
With vacant stare, are fixed on eastern skies,
You look upon a land not by the people ruled
But on a people hy Ro-slieelors fooled;
Monopolists who make your very name a fraud
And snobs more snobbish than the ones abroad;
But to steal millions passes for no crime;
Here money buys the right to rob and kill,
And uiiwhipt blackguards drain the public till;
Thealmightydollai'.e’eii though short in weight,
Outv ings your name, dear goddess, in the state.
If yo have seen it just ring your little
gong, and I’ll come home. Join-:.
