Senator Mills Gives NTo-
tice of a Tariff Speech
Next Tuesday.
, '' SENATE.
Washington, April 18 The resolution
offered last Saturday by Senator Peffer, for
me appointment of a select committee of
of nine Senators to provide for a full and re
spectful hearing of the persons 'and oreani-
zations now on their way to Washington to
present their remonstrances to Congress, was
laid before the Senate, and Senator Oockrell
moved to refer it to the Committee on Rules.
Senator Peffer demanded the yeas and
nays on the motion to refer, but, before the
yote could be taken, the hoar of 1 o'clock,
arrived, and, under the arrangement, the
Tariff bill was taken np.
Senator Morrill -addressed the Senate. He
began his speech by a promise that he would
not "weary the unoccupied mahogany chairs
of Senators, but would observe comparative
Senatorial brevity." He knew how vain it
would be for him to seek to "deprive the
cigar symposium of its "usual quorum in the
coat room." His speech was one of sarcastic
ridicule of the attitude of the Democratic
party towards protection and free trade, as
exemplified in the pending Tariff bill.
Aline close of benator Morrill's speech,
which he read from printed slips, notice
was given by Senator Mills of his intention
to address the Senate on the Tariff bill next
Tuesday.
Senator Turpie, Democratic of Indiana
spoke in favor of the bilL -
Senator Cameron followed in a prepared
speech in opposition to the Tariff bill.
Senator Quay resumed the speech which
he had begun last Saturday, against the bill.
At 5 o'clock he finished the second install

on a subsequent day.
The Senate then went into executive ses

A BATTLE "WITH STRIKERS.
Two P.olish Workmen Killed and Fif
teen Wounded The Sheriff aud
Foreman Fatally Injured.
Detroit.. Mich., April 18. Trouble has
been brewing between the water board and
the Polish laborers engaged to lay the pipe
extensions east,1 of the water works near
','onnor's creek, four miles from the city,
over the question of wages, for some days.
These men Were quarrelsome yesterday and
refused to go to work themselves or allow
any one else to do so, but no serious out
break occurred.
At ; o'clock this morning ad .angry looking
mob began to gather and when 7 o clock ar-1
rived more than 5U0 men at the scene carry
ing pick axes and spades were patrolling
the road. Four policemen were sworn in as
"deputy sheriffs and a force of eighteen men
were but to work. The strikers threatened
to kill the iirst man Who dared at
tempt to do any wort, and when
one of the men, more daring than his
:'ei!os- workmen, jumped into the ditch, he
was savagely assaulted. The handful of
deputies uere overpowered and the strikers
evere left in possession for the time being.
At o'clock the mob further armed itself
with clubs and cudgels. Sheriff Collins was
!e!i'pho5id for and hurried to the scene,
taking with him half a dozen deputies.
After a conference with the water board
svbout noon, it was decided to abandon the
work for the day, and then the clash came.
When engineer Williams attempted to
withdraw his men peacefully the strikers
iecame fuiious and made an onslaught on
one of the men. Sheriff Collins ordered the
mob to disperse, threatening to shoot if the
order was not obeyed. The mob appeared
maddened, however, and continued the at
tack. Then the slfcriff ordered his posse to
fire. He suited the action to the word and
'.; red three shots from his revolver in rapid
succession. This was a signal for a volley
from the deputies who emptied their revol
vers at the advancing mob. Two strikers
were shot dead and at least fifteen others are
more or less dangerously, wounded.
1 his had a demoralizing eue.oton tne moo
1 it fell back. Police headquarters were
notified, and a large force of policemen were
hurried Tb4he scene and all the ambulances

'Fiie trouble commenced when Engineer
"Williams gave the ofderf or the removal of

xoavauon that had been mada at the end

I id not comprehend what he said. Sheriff
'-ollius "stood near the excavation with a
ieputv. The... deputy spoke Cerman and
'old the mob that the water board nadiven
(ii, and that it onlv wished to remove its
iools. Foreman Cathrey then jumped into
j t he. excavation and ' began taking, up the,
puixip.' One of the strikers yelled:
Are "we -going to stand this? Let r all
?-fK. k together." At this speech there was a
orw;;rd rush of the strikers who held their
Mhuvel and picks alof i. Cathrey was struck
a mow on : ne ueau which Knocsea mm to

efforts were wasted, iso attention being
paid to what he said, Instead f retreating

shots as rapidly as he could pull the trigger.
Then a long handled shovel upraised be
hind him, descended swiftly and a corner
of it pierced his skull. He was struck, again
and was probably fatally injured. Fore
man Cathrey is also fatally injured.
One member of the water works police
was seriously cut. The two strikers killed
;and all the wounded are Poles.. The trouble
,'s not yet oyer.
Attempted Assassination.
Wasi'isoton, Afcril 13. A special from
K no-Trill? Tenn., says: An attempt was
made last night to assassinate J. C. Ander
son while he waa lying in bed at bis home
near Rockford. Two shots were ned by
same one who entered the house through tfa
dining room window. One of the bullets
took effect in Anderson's hip. The assassin
followed up his attempt at murder bjr get
ting lire to the two large barns on the An
Uf-ron plantation, doth of which weie en
tirely consumed, together with five males,
wo. houi.as. eleven cattle, forty loads of
hay and a ict of orn. T. J. Shoemaker
was captureu xvij Maryyille. Circumstan
tial evidence is tro against him, although
lie denies his guilt. Mioeraker was recently
in the einpiay of Anderson hji$ p&d been
'discharged. t .
HOUSE OF BEPRESENTATIVES.
The reading of the journal of yesterday's
proceedings was listened to with close atten
tion by the leaders of the House. When the
clerk reached the point describing the roll
call under the new rule, the names of those
reported present but not voting were not
given.
Mr. Reed inquired who they were.
Speaker Crisp replied that the names had
not been inserted by the clerk but should
have been. There waa an error in the rec
ord which, he had been informed, was made
at the printing office. -
Mr. Reed said he wanted to know who
were responsible for this, the clerks or
tellers, so that he might know whom to
blame.
The Speaker said the tellers had not made
any report.
Mr. Burrows called attention to the speech
of Mr. Wheeler, contained in the record to
day. The gentleman had been granted one
minute by Mr. Catchins yesterday in which
to express his views on the "Counting rule."
In that minute, according to the record, he
had been able to say enough to fill four col
umns of the record. He knew that the gen
tleman was a rapid talker but he did not be
lieve he could talk that fast.
Mr. Richardson said Mr. Wheeler was not
present and -suggested that the matter ea
over until he was in his seat.
Mr. Reed It is.his duty to be here and if
we had a proper system of fines for absence,
doubtless he would be.
Mr. Burrows said that having called at
tention to the matter he was willing to
postpone further consideration until Mr.
Wheeler was present. If he had delivered
that speech in the minute he was on the
floor, of course, fcthere was no criticism to
make; if he had not, he (Burrows) insisted
he had violated the rules of the House and
some action should be takento expunge th
speech from the record. The matter was
thereupon postponed. .
. The House went into Committee of the
Whole for the consideration of the Diplo
matic and Consular Appropriation bill.
The debate was entirely, political with
only incidental reference to the bill before
the House. In its course Mr. Wise, Demo
crat of Virginia, read from the record to
show the position taken by ex-Speaker
Reed when the amendment offered by J.
Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, to the rules
providing for the counting of a quorum,
was under discussion in the Forty-eighth
Congress. He showed that Mr. Reed op
posed the amendment and added with much
spirit that "this adulation jf Thomas B.
Reed by the Republican party was a miser
able pretence." He went on to say that
Reed was not the originator of this proposi
tion to count a quorum. It was first pro
posed by a Democrat from Virginia.
Mr. Grosvenor, Republican, of Ohio, who
ijad several times attempted, without suc
cess, to interrupt Mr. Wise said: "May I
ask the gentleman a question?"
- Mr. Wise (emphatically amid general
laughterH-I cannot refuse you the oppor
tunity to talk.
Mr. Grosvenor Was that a Democratic
Congress?"
Air. vv ise replied that it wag; ana added that
itwas his purpose to strip Thomas B. Reed of
the false colors under which he had sailed.
He added that M,r. Springer, of Illinois, had
voted and spoken for the rule.
"That," said Mr. Reed, solto vooe, "ac
counts for its defeat."
Mr. Garfield, continued Mr. Wise, voted
against it and denounced it as unconstitu
tional: so that this pretense that the country
is indebtedness to the Republican party for
this rule is a bald lie. On that occasion Mr.
Eeed denounced the proposed rule as a vio
lation of the Constitution and the Republi
can leaders joined him in the denunciation.
Mr. Wise stated that he refused to vote yes
terday for the rule because he had no op
portunity to examine it, and because there
was no chance to debate it. But he be- '
lieved that if the power resided in the
House to bring a man from California to his
seat, the House had a right to count his
presence for the transaction of business.
An agreement was made to limit the re
mainder of general debate to one and a
quarter hours, half an hour to-day and
threp-quarters to-morrow, all but fifteen
minutes to be given to the Republicans.
Mr. Cummings reported the Naval Appro
priation bill for the year ending June 30,
1895, and at 4:35 o'clock tbeHousejadjourned
until to-morrow.
A Wilmington Gentleman and a
Salemn Lady Married Another
Wedding in Same Church on
Same Day.
Special to the Messenger.
WiNSTOif, N. C, April 18. At 4 o'clock
this afternoon Wilmington and Salem joined
hands at least one of Wilmington's popu
lar young men led to the hymenial altar one
of Salem's brightest and most popular
daughters.
The names of the contracting parties were
Mr. A. J. Howell, Jr., and Miss Gertrude E.
Jenkins, daughter of Capt. Robert Jenkins,
the popular Winston-Salem representative
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railway com
pany. The ceremony, which was a beautiful one,
was performed in the old home church of
the Moravians by Bishop Rondthaler, as
sisted by Rev. J. H. Clewell, principal of the
Salem Female academv and nnoio nf
bride.
The groom's brother, Mr. Geo. H. Howell.
of Wilmington, was best man, while Miss
Mamie'B.-Clewell, of Baltimore, a cousin of
the bride, was maid of honor,
Two pretty little girls, Misses Katie Kil
buck and Julia Stockton, aged respectively
8 and 10 years,, took an interesting part in
the programme. The former carried the
ring, while the latter was the little flower
girl. . ;
The ushers were Messrs. Walter Spach,
Howard Rondthaler, Frant and , Robert
Jenkins, the two latter being brothers of the
bride. y
rt . i ' . . "
-me usners were the first to enter, They
were followed by the two little girls. The
maid of honor followed alone. The bride
entered the right aisle leaning upon the arm
of her father, who gaye her jiway. The
groom entered the left aisle wth his brother
Upon reaching the chance.l Bishop Rond
thaler pronounced the couple husband and
wife in the presence of a large assemblage
of people. . .
. The church was profusely decorated with
pot plants, palms, ferns, etc. The music
was exceptionally grand. Professor Skilton,
of the academy; presided at the large organ.
While the choral class, of the same in
uumuon, assisted by fifteen male
rendered Mendelshon's beautiful
march.
Immediately after the conclusion of the
ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Howell, accom
panied by the attendants, and a number of
friends, went to the home of the bride's
parents, where a pleasant reception was
held from 4:30 to 5:30 o'clock p. m.
At 6:05 o'clock the newly married couple,
accompanied By the groom's brother, left
for Wilmington.. They expect to reach
their future home to-morrow night.
The presents received by the bride were
both numerous and handsome, coming from
this and other States.
. The bride is a graduate of Saiem Female
academy, and a brighter or more popular
young lady has never carried away a
diploma from that institution. ' She is ac
complished, but this fact does not deter her
from "doing what her hands find to do."
The general verdict here is that Mr. How
ell has won a prize one that will add to him
both friends and wealth. The best wishes
of Winston and Salempeople attend them
for a bright, happy and prosperous vnvnm)
through life. -
ANOTHER MAKRIAOE.
At 9 o'clock to-night another event was
solemnized in the same church, Bishep
Rondthaler officiating. Mr. Hazel Sanders,
of .Sumter, S. C, and Miss Loline Allen,
daughter of Capt. 8. E. Allen, "of Winston,
were the contracting parties.

there would be a . drop ' of 30 de
grees. Another depressing factor was
the large crop movement. Prices de
clined slightly. An advance followed
on some local buying and cover

was some disposition to realize, and prices
dropped slightly below the final figures "ofl

A Convict Whose Jjife Senator Vance
Had Saved Takes a I,a8t Look at
His Benefactor. -
Special to the Messenger.
Raleigh, April 18. An effecting inci
dent in connectiQn with the Vance cere
monies was told your correspondent to-day
by the penitentiary officials. For eighteen
years Andy Winecoff has been in the prison.
He was convicted of murder, eighteen years
ago in Robeson county, but Senator Vance
secured a commutation of his death sentence
to life imprisonment. Winecoff always had
a deep and abiding love for his benefactor.
He is now an old man, 'employed at the
prison ofgee. Yesterday he-begged to be
allowed to look j onee more upon Vance's
face. His request was granted and Officers
Ledbetter and Bernard took him in a buggy
to the Capitol, where he viewed the betoved
face for the last time. He was almost over
come, and no man in alj the great throng
shed more genuine tears of sorrow.
A Happy Marriage at Goldsboro.
Goldsboeo, N. 0., April 18,
This morning at 11 o'clock took place
the morriage of Mr. Collier J. Griswold
and Miss Mary Alice Freeman, daughter
of Mr. Wiley and Mrs. Hannah Freeman.
Owing to the rather re-ent death of
Wiley Freeman, a brother of the bride,
the ceremony was made as private as
possible. Rev. Father Price officiated.
.according to the impressive ritual of the
Catholic Church.
The bride was dnissed in wMte Laus-
aowne ana carried in ner nana an ex
quisite boquet 'of white heliotropes,
forming a nnion of loveliness rarely to
be seen. Thex presents were numerous
and handsome, consisting mostly of solid
silverware. :' ' ' ' '
The young couple immediately after 1
the marriage took the Atlantic 2oast
Line, train for Washington, D. C, where
they will remain a week, after which
they will return and continue to make
Goldsboro their home. They carry into j
their new life the best wishes of their i
many friends. Ad multos annos!

.Stocks and Bonds in New York The
Grain and Provision Markets
of Chicago.
New York, April 18. The market opened
irregular, owing to a belief that considera
ble igold would be exported and the loss of
"1126,000 in the earnings of the St. Paul road
ior the second week of ApnL The bulls in
the Industrials, howeyer, did not permit
their opponets to make much progress at
this time and they took hold of Distiller?
Chicago das and American Sugar, and put
them up to 27, 67f and 98i respectively.
This checked the declining tendency and a
iiiiucr leeung prevailed, ana the shorts.
wno nan Deen putting out contracts with
more confidence than of late, started in to
cover, xnis was primarily due to a decline
ii i.uc wmai la, tea 01 oiernn exchange, a
result of recent bond purchases for Euro
pean account, which has increased
the supply of hankers' bills.: Bankers
who had provided for gold exports by Sat
urday's steamer, said they would ship se
curities instead, and the morning estimate
of a 5,000,000efftux was materially reduced.
It is tolerably safe to say that unless the
aternng exchange market stiffens consider
ably to-morrow or Friday, very little gold
will go forward this week. The early ad
vance was equal to i to If per cent, in the In
dustrials and to i to i per cent, in the Tail
ways. A sudden break in General Electric
of nearly 2 points to 405, due to the
execution of stop orders, unsettled
matters during the afternoon and the
early gain was generally, lost. Later on,
New l ork Central sold down to 99, a loss of
1 per cent. Sales were also made at 98 seller
60, The transactions in the stock aggregated
7,200 shares, an unusually large total.
Those interested in seeing lower, prices as
serted that it was long stock. Rumors were
current of international dissentions in the
trunk line pool and this had some effect in
depressing the stocks. Lake Shore fell 1
f Ble Foul P31" cent The general list
fell off in sympathy and in tjhe final deal
ings was irregularly week. Net changes for
the day show losses of J to 1J per cent.
Reading. Whiskey, Burlington. Missouri
Pacific, Union Pacific and Northern Pacific,
preferred, gained i to i per cent. Railway
and miscellaneous bonds were strong. Sales
of listed stocks were 147,000 shares; unlisted,
43j000 j "
Chicago, April 18. The last hour was the
most active period of trading in wheat to
day. From the opening until long after
noon, dullness was the most prominent
feature of the day. There was a lally f pl-
lowen Dy a Dreair shortly before the close,
prices touching the extreme outside and in
side figures of the day's range. The open
ing was weak, the popular belief being
that the general rains which prevailed
during the night were responsible therefor.
Almost immediately after the first trades
had been made, a steadier tone became ap
parent, and, business lapsing into dullness,
prices dragged along without particular
change until the advance above mentioned.
The business in corn was moderate, the
undertone firm and the range arrow. With
out reference to the news of the day, which
was not particularly radical for or against
the price, there is a feeling of strength in
the market that is difficult of gxplanation.
Outside orders are mostly on the buying
side and the sentiment is Dullish.
Oats were equally as dull as corn and im
bibed strength from that cereal. Otherwise
the market was devoid of feature. The
market showed signs of slightly easier feel
ing at the cjoae, the break in wheat seeming
to'carry some weight in the oats market.
Prqtjsfons in the opening were weak on
a lower hog market. After so4e selling the
pressure had been withdrawn, and, upon
the appearance of buying orders, prices
were run up sharply on covering. Home
changes took place during the. remainder of
the session, but the close was firm at almost
the top.
