Chicago, Oct. 15.—Notwithstanding the
settlement of the street car strike, a rather
serious conflict occurred this morning,
about three blocks from the Garfield
avenue barn,bet ween a mob of the strikers
and the new men. who were running out
the cars.
The first car was run out and proceeded
of the pistol. Anna said she went to the in different States of the union holding re-
■ camp to see her husband, Tom Walker. I turn tickets can go to the officer of the

when the shooting occurred she and Sam for return at such time as they may wish
were frolicing, and that it was accidental.
“About half an hour before she died she
called Sam. She died last Friday evening
at sundown. I knew her three or four
years. She was not married, so far as I
know. A pistol was produced and the

many thousands of Florida people.
The official bulletin to-day is as follows:
New cases. 20; deaths, 3; total cases to

Aldermanic Board for final action, which
will doubtless be favorable.
The present system is furnished by the
Atlanta Gas (’ompany, which is a strong
concern, aud has always had a representa

will make a large hole in this business,
but it will benefit and please the public.
THE LAW l> A GOOD ONE.
Tlie IV't Canes in San Francisco Decided
Against the Chinese.
San Francisco, Oct. 15.—Judge Sawyer
. announced his decision in the United
; States Circuit Court to-day in the two
, cases under the Chinese Exclusion act.
1 The court holds that as a constitutional act
j its provisions apply to the Chinese now in
| port on spiptioard, to those on the way
from China aud those still in China.
It is estimated that this decision will
effect about 30,000 Chinese, as there are
over 30,000 return certificates still out
standing, and it is believed there
are now about 3,000 Chinamen in
the country who had lived here
before the restriction act was
passed, and who before the passage of the
; exclusion bill, would have been entitled to
re-enter thiscouutry under the claim of
being “prior residents.” About 000 Chi-
j mse have arrived in this port since the ap-
i proval of the exclusion act and about 700
others are now on their way from China.
The decision of the court, whieu is very
long, declared tnat the language of the act
is clear and capable of beariug but oue
construction. It begins to operate from
the moment it was aoproved by the Presi
dent, and t hough the petitioners in these
■ cases were upon the high seas at tne time
the act was approved, it nevertheless op
erates upon litem. The court further de
clares there is no specific contract be-
I tween the United States Government and
i the individual Chinese laborers by whicb
the latter should be entitled to return to
means except throigh tin* openings and gates this country after once departing from it.

thau thirty days, e ther or both, in the discre;iou governments, treaties are like other laws
that confer rights aud privileges, as long
as they are in force; and the court holds
that the right of Congress to legislate in
Allison to state whether there was any
possible chance of passing the tariff bill
at the present session.
Mr. Allison replied that he did not see
any possibility of passing it in the Senate
under the surrounding circumstances and
even if it were passed by the Senate, it was
impossible to have the amendment consid
ered in the House before next December.
The consideration of the tariff bill should
take place in the full Senate, but he did
not believe that the Senate would remain
in session during the next three weeks, nor
did he believe they were called upon to do
so under the circumstances.
Whether a recess should be taken, and
whether Congress should come back after
the election and go on with the tariff bill,
was a qnestion which he would leave to
the judgment of the Senators on both
sides. It was his purpose to pursue the
tariff bill with whatever facility it could be
pursued until finally disposed of.
He was willing to allow a reasonable
time for a general debate, and then he
would ask the Senate to discuss the bill,
paragraph by paragraph, under the five or
ten minute rule. Whatever was done now,
whether Congress adjourned to-morrow
or next day, or next week, the Senate
ought to have an uuderstanding that on
the reassembling, whether in November or
in December, the tariff bill should be
pursued, that it would get to the House
of Representatives “before the Christmas
holidays. If he had his way he should
push it to the exclusion of all business. As
to the matter of adjournment, he was will
ing to submit to the judgment of the Sen
ate.
The discussion of the adjournment reso
lution stopped here, and the Senate pro
ceeded with the discussion of the tariff
bill, and Mr. Vest took the floor to speak
upon it.
Mr. Teller obtained the floor, and the
tariff bill went over till to-morrow. The
senate th en adjourned.
cars were then run out and had proceeded
to Centre street, when the mob rushed
from an alley nearby and made a savage
assault upon the new drivers and con
ductors, and stones and missiles were
hurled through the air and several of the
mob pounded the men and endeavored to
drag them off the cars. A hand to
hand struggle then ensued. Capt. Schaack
was notified of the trouble, and with i
twenty-five men at once started for the •
scene of the mob, which had evidently j
veuted its spite, and rau away when the
police appeared. Several of the conduc- i
tors and drivers were hurt pretty badly.
The new men say that they recognized the
men in the mob as strikers. The trouble
arose through the fact that the new men,
retained were concentrated at the Garfield
avenue barns, and were the only men
running cars from that point.
After the assault on the uew men this
morning, President Yerks issued a note to
the old emoloyes, in which he said

At Greensburg several hundred people

that as there are not places

both old and new, their returned strikers

them among themselves as best suited
them. He added that there was evideutly
a movement on foot to drive the new men
away, and he warned the ex strikers that
such a course would not be of any advan
tage to them, as for every new man driven
away he would hire another one in his
place.
This morning one of the new men was
attacked by four of the old employes, and
was being roughly handled, when he drew
a revolver and fired several shots at them.
One of them, named Burley, was wounded
in the face and was subsequently arrested.
The other three escaped.

AN ORDINANCE.
To nnieuil an ordinance entitled, “An ordi

year 1S88.
Section 1. Be it ordained by the Mayor and
Council of Columbus, and it is hereby or

The following ordinance by Alderman Foley
was read, the roles suspended, it read a s cond

t It is ordained by the Mayor and Council of the
city of Columbus as follows:

such manner as to control and repeal the
stipulations of the treaties, has been clear
ly recognized. An act of Congress, upon
a subject within its legislative power, is as
binding upon the courts as a treaty on the
same subject. Both are being excepted,
as the latter one conflicts or interferes
with the former.
Upon the other point urged by the coun
sel for the Chinese that the exclusion act
is unconstitutional on account of its being
an ex-post facto law, the court states: “We
do not find an element of ex-post law in
act now in question. There is simply a
repeal by Congress of prior law found in
the stipulation of treaty with China.”
The counsel for the Chiuese gave notice
that they would appeal the cases to the
United States Supreme Court.

did all he could for her, and he seemed to
be distressed about the matter.
Sam Ellison, the defendand, was called
and testified. He denied doing the shoot
ing and his testimony in the main was an
effort to prove that the deceased shot her
self. He also denied that he stated to
Mary Heath, James Willis or Jim Ellison
that he did the shooting.
In answer to certain questions, he said :
“When she got shot she ju i ped up and
rau out. I went to look for her. A man
was near at the time of shooting, but he
was asleep. Mr. Stricknen is the night
guard down there. I do not know whether
he heard the shot or not. Austin Marshall
heard the shooting. He was asleep, but
the report woke him up. I paid all the
funeral expenses. There are two night
guards down there, but I only know one.”
Mary Heath was then re-called. She said:
“ I saw her after the shooting and waited
on her. She was shot in the left side. Sam
told me he shot her.” *-
Hannah Jackson, the mother of the de
ceased, being recalled said: “Anna was
shot in the left side. Sam told me that he
shot her. She told me so, too, when she
was dying.”
Rena Jackson being re-called, said : “My
sister was dying when I left there. She
was shot in the left side. Sam certainly
said he shot her.”

New Albany, Ind., Oct. 15.—The in

with the demonstration here to-day over
the arrival of James G. Blaine. Toward
noon, however, the rain abated. Thous

Mr. Blaine and General Hovey
held a public reception at Windsor Hotel,
around which several thousand people
clamored. After shaking hands for an
hour Mr. Blaine thanked the assemblage
for the cordial welcome extended to Gen.
Hovey and himself, aud returned to ex-
Congressman Culberson’s residence where
he received many callers during to - day.
The street parade in the afternoon was

that deceased came to her death from a | meyer president of the sugar trust, had
driven up town, escorted by the local
visiting clubs. He was driven to the home
of Mr. John Beggs, where he reviewed
the parade. Visiting clubs from
all of this part of the State formed the
procession, which was over a mile long.
Bandannas were carried by all, aud ban
ners with the party mottoes and campaign
issues were tersely stated in the same way,
while wagons with ladies and girls and
laboring exhibits added to the variety of
the procession. Bandanna parasols, car
ried by several chins, served to protect
them somewhat from the drizzling rain,
and made a handsome appearance as well.
At the Fairgrounds, three stands had
been erected, from which all the promi
nent speakers held forth, among them
being Senator Voorhees, Genera! Black,
Governor Gray and others. The conserva
tive estimate as to the size of the crowd
placed it at from .'15,000, to 40,000 persons.
Among other things, Judge Thurman
said there never was a President who took
his seat under as trying circumstances as
Cleveland did on the 4th of ’March, 1885.
The Democratic party had been out ot
power for nearly a quarter of a century. Of
course there were many Democrats who
thought that when we got a Demo
cratic administration every Democrat in
the land ought to have a good office.
< if course there were others who wanted
no office, but had their own peculiar no
tions as to how the Government should be
conducted; and to meet and satisfy the
wishes of the people, those who elected
him President of the United .States, that
man Cleveland had the hardest task that
ever was encountered by a President, and
how has he performed that task?
