TROUBLE WITH STRIKERS.
A Riot Among the Union and Non-
Union Men Causes the Arrest of
Many.
By Telegraph to the News and Observer.
Chicago, April 22. — A body of
striking carpenters caused a riot in
the southwestern part of the city this
morning, and as the result about
fifty of them are locked up, and the
sergeant of the police received some
bruises. Some non-union carpen
ters were put to work on Wallace
near 53rd street this morning. The
strikers reported the fact and a com
mittee of union men were sent to
persuade them to quit work. Idle
carpenters to the number of about
100 joined the committee, and when
argument failed to make them quit,
they began jeering them and a riot
followed. Police Sergeant Begley
interfered, when he was set upon and
beaten by the strikers. An alarm
was sent to the nearest station and a
detachment of police was sent out
and succeeded in arresting about 50
of the rioters. The rest escaped, but
the police arc hunting for them.
The non-union men in the meantime
dropped their tools and lied.

By Telegraph to the News and Observer.
Washington. April 22.—Senate
—Mr. Plumb’s resolutio » heretofore
offered, for an increase o' the treas
ury purchase and coinage of ilver.
was presented and Mr. Eus movid,
as an addition to it, a fun her reso
lution that the free coinage of silver
is essential to a sound fi laneial pol
icy, and is demanded b all the greaf
interests of the country; and that
therefore all laws limiting the coin
age of silver ought to be repealed.
Mr. Plumb consented to let the
resolution lay over for the present,
so as to give Mr. Mitchell an oppor
tunity to address the Senate.
Mr. Mitchell addressed the Senate
in favor of the Constitutional amend
ment proposed by him for the elec
tion of Senators by the popular vote.
When he had concluded his resolu
tion was referred to the committee
on privileges and elections.
The conference report on the bill
to regulate the sitting of the United,
States Courts in the District of South
Carolina was presented and agreed to.
The District of Columbia appro
priation hill was taken up. During
the consideration of the hill Mr. Mor
rill, from the conference committee
on the bill for the organization, im
provement and maintenance of a
National Zoological Park, reported
that the committee had been unable
to agree, and he moved that the
Senate recede from its position and
agree to the House amendment which
requires half the expense to be paid
by the District government. After
some discussion the motion was
agreed to and the bill now goes to
the President for his signature. The
consideration of the District appro
priation bill was then resumed and
ended by the passage of the bill. The
Senate then went into executive ses
sion. Adjourned.
house.
Mr. Chandler, of Massachusetts,
moved that the House concur in the
Senate amendments to the World’s
fair bill This being agreed to. the
bill finally passed and was sent to
the President for his action.
The House then went in<o com
mittee of the whole (Mr. Payson, <»f
Illinois, in the chair) on the legisla
tive appropriation bill.
The debate was not confined very
closely to the subject-matter of the
bill, it took in, in fact most of the
subjects that enter in current politics.
Mr. Allen, of Mississippi, was hu
morous with amusing stories. In
calling attention to civil service in
consistency of the administration,
he said he had some respect for the
man who acknowledged himself a
spoilsman, but the man who obtained
office under hypocricy guise would
never get the respect of the people.
He told a tale of Senator Ingalls
going to the White House to secure
an office. On the way he met with a
friend, who told him he would not
get it, as Harrison had a friend in
Kansas that he was going to appoint,
the Senator scratched his head a
moment, and said : That is right if
he is sure of it; but I am pretty well
acquaited with that State, and if he
has friends there, I don’t know it.”
(Laughter.)
Mr. Bland, of Missouri, discussed
the monetary question and made an
argument in favor of the free coinage
of silver.
Mr. Cannon, after devoting some
time to the defence of the provisions
of the bill, denied the charge made
by Mr. Allen to the effect that many
of the Federal appointees in Missis
sippi were men of bad character.
When the gentleman was making
that charge he (Cannon) could not
help thinking that while there were
thousands of postmasters to be ap
pointed in each State, there was but
one State Treasurer to be elected.
(Laughter.) He then proceeded to
read, with comments and amid
laughter, a list of defaulting State
Treasurers of the Southern States.
Mr. Spinola, of New York, made
an attack upon the civil service law
which he said was un-Jeffersonian
un-Democratic un-American and
there were not five men on the other
side who honestly believed in it. It
was a fraud; it had been operated as
a fraud and the present administra
tion had not paid the least respect to
it whatever.
Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, said the
anxiety manifested on the Demo
cratic side in regard to the popu
larity and success of the administra
tion was the best sign that the Re
publican side ought to be satisfied
with the administration and for one
he was. At the proper time the Re
publican side would bring in a sil
ver hill which would be satisfactory
to the people.
Speaking of tlie civil service system,
he said he did not believe that
the law and its administration was
approved of by one-fifth of the mem
bers of either house. He believed
that if each member of the House
would vote his deliberate opinion he
i would declare that the whole system
; was founded on a mistake and its
' administration’on false principle. It
was detrimental to the very purpose
it was aimed to accomplish. (Ap
plause.)

reform was endorsed by the Chicago
Convention v
Mr. Grosvenor. To turn Demo
crats out and put Republicans in.
(Laughter.)
Mr. Grosvenor said that not only
would he vote against increasing the
force of the commission, but he
would vote here and everywhere to
repeal the whole law. (Applause.)
It was a fraud on the j eople of the
co in try.

(TURMOIL AT DURHAM.
AN EXCITING RAILROAD WAR
BEING WAGED.
Oxford and Clarksville Men Ar
rested While Trying To Tear Up
The Durham & Northern Track—
One of the Men Arrested and
Brought to Raleigh for Trial—
Great Excitement.
It was learned here yesterday after
noon that some lively scenes were
being enacted in Durham in conse
quence of the Richmond and Dan
ville people attempting to tear up the
Durham and Northern track along
Peabody street on the strength of
Judge Annfield’s decision refusing
to grant a restraining order. The
News and Observer at once tele
graphed to Durham for particulars.
From the Durham papers received
from Durham last night, an l from
information gained from other
sources the particulars were learned.
The Durham Hun says: Durham
is today stirred from centre to cir
cumference. There is a-strong feel
ing here for the D. & N. road, and
very nautrally, too, for the town lias
subscribed SIOO,OOO to this road, and
a great many of our people wish to
see it on an equal footing with other
roads.
About dark yesterday afternoon,
the D. &N. began to fill up their
track from the electric light house to
Duke’s factory with box cars and
fiats. This was noted by our citizens
and they began to congregate in
squads and discuss the matter. Pre
vious to that time the R. & 1). and
O. & C., had bad their tracks blocked
up with cars at every point, until the
side tracks and switches around the
depot presented a perfect sea of box,
cars. Most of these were moved out
and the ways cleared by yesterday,
except the track on Peabody street
from the R. & D., ticket otlice to
near Duke’s factory
It was learned yesterday aiternooi
that the case argued at chambers be
fore Judge Armfield, at Raleigh, aim
concluded yesterday, bad been de
cided against the D. & N., and g
rapidly spread through town that tin
defendants would tear up the track
of the D. & N.
A material train came rolling in
.with a large squad of hands, who
were stationed where they could not
be readily seen, and the Hying rumors
seemed to do wen lounueu.
At iwght citizens congregated on
the streets and on the railroad track
talking the matter over and looking
to see what was to be done.
Mayor Christian, with a strong de
termination to protect the road and
the interest of the town, until the
final hearing of he matter now pend
ing in court, and which will come up
at Pittsboro, appointed guards who
watched the D. & N., road last night
to see that no injury was done to it.
The night passed quietly and there
was no *at tempt made to disturb a
single spike or rail.
About seven o’clock this morning
however, some of the colored hands,
with crow-bars, let into the D. & N.,
near the market house like a hawtt
upon a chicken, but two or three
were arrested before tney cou-d gel
down to work. This drew forth
anxious crowds, who desired to see
the result, and the railroads were
lined with an immense outpouring of
all classes of our people.
The arrested people were taken to
the Mayor’s office. About 8 o’clock
another squad of hands, headed by
two of the white managers, let into
the track near the electric light
house, like they would tear up the
entire neighboroood in that vicinity,
making bolts and spikes fly. They
worked vigorously for a few minutes.
Policeman Faucett, was along the
line, some distance off, and made a
run, blew his whistle, and reached
the scene before any rails had been
torn up. He arrested both of the
head men, catching hold of the ham
mers they swung in breaking off the
bolts. The feeling by this time, in
the majority of that vast throng of
people was one of great indignation
towards the roads that sought to tear
up the D. &N. track. The arrested
parties were taken to the court house.
A hearing of the case will be had
Friday.
The Mayor decided he had no right
to interfere with that portion of the
track which turns just at the coal
shute and winds around the electric
light house a distance of several hun
dred feet. He holds, however, that
this side of the coal shute the track
strikes into Peabody street, and he
will protect that street. In view of
this turn in the matter, the D. & N.
filled up that part of the track with
cars, and about eleven o’clock the
11. & 1) cut one of their switches to
swing it around to connect with that
portion of the D. & N. road which
bends away from Peabody street to
run around the electric light house.
Two large posts were sunk in the
ground, just behind the ears, and
where tlie track runs out into Pea
body street. This being done the
D. & N. track teas'then torn up just
behind the post so that a connection
could not be ‘made with the track
running along that street.
A oase is now pending, to be heard
at Chatham court, involving the
grant of right of way to railroads on
Peabody street. Before the It. & D.,
or any of its connections, tear up any
railroad, or even what they claim,
they should patiently await a hearing
and decision of this case. The town
of Durham has an interest, and is a
party to the action now pending, and
therefore it is nothing more than is
to be expected the town will defend
her interests until the case is legally
decided. The Mayor will defend
Peabody street in the interests of this
town, until the courts decide wo have
no Peabody street. In this matter
lie will be sustained by a large ma
jority of this community, if put to a
popular vote.
In addition to the above the Globe
says: “Just here Mr. \V. L. Moring,
one of the force of the O. & C. road,
under the direction of the attorney
for the O. & G\, attempted to cut
down the upright timber that the
town authorities had placed on the
track, and he was promptly arrested.
This put the matter in a shape to be
heard on habeas corpus proceed
ings.”
The 6.18 train from Durham yes
terday evening brought Chief of
Police J. A. Woodall, of Durham,
who had with him Mr. W. L. Moring
who was brought to Raleigh under a
habeas corpus. Mr. Moring will be
arraigned here before Judge Armfield
this morning at 9.30 o’clock on a
charge of trespass.
Chief of Police W oodall was seen j
by a News and Observer reporter
at the Yarboro House last night and
said that considerable excitement
prevailed at Durham all day yester
day in consequence of the railroad
trouble. All the pol.-ce force of the
town were on duty at the scene and
people flocked there by hundreds
The town authorities having planted
the post tn Peabody street tin
police stationed themselves there
to prevent the O. & C. fovc(
from proceeding fur.her. Tin m-i

and the Treasurer’s statement for
the year 1888. The Major read from
his original report, which was shown
to the committee. The discrepancy
was only apparent not real, as during
the time that elapsed between the
filing of his report with the directors
and the stockholders’ meeting the
Inter-State Commerce Commission
had required that the company show
“Permanent Improvements.” The
cost of these permanent improve
ments were taken from the total ex
penses of the road, thus rendering
the totals in tlie printed report less
than the wnole to al by the amount
taken into consideration under a dif
ferent head as “Permanent Improve
ments.” These. sums being added
together .-mowed tha.: ihe total stun
of the expense reported by the Gen
eral Superintendent agreed with the
Treasurer’s statements, and that, in
fact, there was no error, but merely
a change in the manner of stating
accounts. The aggregate amount of
the expenditures of the company
being the same in both statements.
Maj. W. W. Vass, Treasurer of
the Raleigh & Gaston Railroad Com
pany, was then examined by Col.
Hinsdale as follows:
What is the stipulation in the
mortgage bonds of the Raleigh &
Gaston Railroad Company in regard
to taxation ?
Only this: The bonds are headed
“free from all taxation.”
In your replies to questions asked
you on the direct examination as to
the amounts of receipts and disburse
ments and tlie amounts of profits
made in any one year, from what
sources did you derive the knowledge
or information which enabled you to
answer these questions ?
From the reports of the company
in evidence before the committee.
Do you believe these reports to be
accurate and correct ?
I do.

* April 18th, 1800.
We have just made an arrangement with
one of the largest publishing houses in Amer
ica making it possible for us to present each
of our customers with one of the most mag
nificent Fine Art Publications of tho day. al
lowing them choice of four books, when their
cash purchases amount to $20.00.
The enclosed circular gives a full descrip
tion of tlie size, appearance,, contents and
number of full-page engravings in each book.
Bear in mind that each book is !) jxl2 inches
(larger than any ordinary atlas), and that
the engravings are the h and-work of Gustave
Bore, the greatest oi French artists, whose
works stand unequalled.
These books are not of tlie cheap “clap
trap” order, but are classed with the world’s
highest literature. You must see them to
appreciate them. All g ear literary men
agree that any library is not complete unless
it contains all of these classical works.
Even though we propose giving one of
these valuable books with every $20.00 we
receive, our prices w ill be as low or lower than
ever before, thus giving our customers the
greatest opportunity of obtaining the most
value for toeir money ever known.
We therefore cordially invite your patron
age so that we may have the pleasure of
making you a gift of one or more oi chose
magnificent publication.
Yours very truly,
