Mayor Fitzpatrick, of New Orleans, Files
IIis Answer.
Nkw Orleans, October 11.—Mayor
John Fitzpatrick yesterday filed his an
swer in the civil district court in the
impeachment proceedings taken by the
citizens protective association. The
mayor makes general and specific de-
nia,ls of all the allegations made by the
committee. The belt railroad 'ordi
nance, the case against recorder and
the man of Morrison and company—
the mayor or his wife being a member
of the firm—arc fully discussed by his
honor concluding as follows: “And
finally, respondent avers and will show
on the trial of this case that since his
a cccssion to the ofiice of mayor of the
city of New Orleans not a dollar of pub
lic money or of the funds of said city
has been disbursed or paid out without
the aflirimtive action of the city coun
cil when ail items of expenditure, bills
for purchase and all orders for the pay
ment of money from the city treasury
are presented and scrutinized first by
the committee of finance and next by
the council itself and then subjected to
the action of the mayor. That since
the year 1892 or the beginning of the
present city administration, the collec
tion of taxes and revenues of the city
have been larger and more rapid than
in previous years; that every fund set
apart under the law is always sufficient
to meet all calls and demands made
thereon: that all purchases made by the
city are promptly paid and all salaries
of officers and employes are now paid
in cash semi-monthly, this city thus is
carrying no indebtedness and aJl con
flicts betwen holders of claims against
the city being thus effectually obviated.
Respondent especially reserves his
right of action against relaters for
damages occasioned to him by their
malicious prosecution, whereupon re
spondent prays that relaters demand
be rejected and that their action be
dismissed at their cost and respondent
prays for all general and cquitible
relief.

The Marshal of Camilla, Ga., and a Promi
nent Citizen Engage in a Hattie.
Camilla, Ga., October 11.—The quiet
of this city was disturbed last night by
the firing of pistol shots in Main street.
After the firing it was found that Mr.
B. B. Wadkins, the town marshal, and
Mr. William M. Swindle were the par
ties engaged in the shooting. There
were about six shots fired by both par-
! ties, and resulted in the instant killing
of Mr. Swindle, he being shot in five or
six places in the body and terribly shot
in the head, lie breathed his last a
| few minutes after the firing had ceased.
Air. Wadkins. the marshal, was seri
ously shot, his leg hone being broken a
few inches above the ankle.
There had been bad feeling between
the men for months and trouble was
i feared when they should meet, as both
; were determined men.
The body of Mr. Swindle was buried
1 this afternoon. Mr. Wadkins’ leg, in
all probability, will have to be ampu
tated.

of Mexico, moved upward along the
coast doing much damage and yesterday
reached this city. It continued to blow
hard, and the coast from New Jersey to
Nova Scotia is tied with wrecks of
buildings on shore and vessels on the
water. At Englewood, New Jersey, a
large brick chimney on the house of
T. B. Kerr blew over, broke through
the roof and killed Kerr’s daughter in
her bed. Numberless summer cottages
along the New Jersey coast were
wrecked. The railroads that skirt the
shore from Sandy Hook southward
were washed out in several places, and
covered with sand in others. Tele
graph, telephone and electric light
wires were generally washed away.

THE MINE HOUR WORK DAY.
President Prescott Urges the Creation of a
Fund to Prosecute the Fight.
Louisville, Ivy.. October 11.—Presi
dent Prescott, in his annual report to
the International Typographical Union
convention states that the membership
has increased over one thousand during
the past year, exclusive of 1,000 Ger
man speaking printers who affiliated
in accordance with the plebiscite.
Financially the union is in excellent
shape, though it is estimated that it
will lose §12,000 by the failure of the
Indianapolis bank, in which its funds
were deposited. Referring to the de
feat last year of the proposition making
nine hours a day's work, President
Prescott says it is futile to suppose that
employers will make a change so long
as there is a seeming opportunity for
successful resistance, and urges that a
large fund be created for the purpose
of prosecuting the fight.

natural in the way they act; cheap

China in Need of Improved Im
plements of War.
JAPS TO RAISE AN INTERNAL WAR LOAN
Forty Thousand Japanese Troops are
Reported to Have Landed at Shan-
Uai-Kwan and Cut Down All
the Telegraph Wires.
Shanghai. October 11.—Although the
Chinese government has plenty of men
at its disposal, there is a total lack of
modern arms for their use. This de
ficiency, it is claimed, the Ger
mans are endeavoring to supply. Many
of the Chinese soldiers recently sent to
the front have been armed only with
jingals and bows and arrows.
The families of the customs officials
at Peking are arriving at Shanghai by
every steamer.
A high official in the service of the
government recently reported that the
Chinese fleet which has been operating
against the Japanese squadron is pow
erless to cope with the en‘-my and, in
fact, is of not tbe slightest use as a
means of offense or defense
JAPS LAND AT SHAN-HAI-KWAN
Reports of u Skirmish Between the Out
posts North of Valu River.
London, October 11.—A dispatch
from Shanghai says the Japanese and
Chinese outposts had a skirmish on Octo
ber 9th, north of Yalu river and the
Japanese were driven back across the
river. It is also rumored that forty
thousand Japanese troops have landed
near Shan-Hai-Kwan, on the boundary
between the Chinese provinces of Man
churia and Chi-Li at the eastern end of
the wall which traverses China. The
telegraph wires have been cut, thus
hindering communication with that
district. Shan-Hai-Kwan, is directly on
the railroad building from Tien Tsin to
Moukdon, and is of great strategic im
portance. In fact, the opinion has
been expressed that if Shan-Hai-Kwan
is captured there is nothing to prevent
the Japanese from marching on Peking.
A Japanese fleet was reported to have
been sighted off Shan-Hai-Kwan on
September 20. The report that the
Chinese had landed in force at New
Shwang is unconfirmed.
