SOLDIERS M DEFENCE To the Besieged, as They Were Sympathy With the Bioters. in MRS. DRAYTON KOW DEPENDED Bj CoL Tom Ochiltree, Who Saya She Has Been Cruelly Wronged. DEESIIXG TO H1NG IN TWO WEEKS St. Petersburg, May 9. Details were received here to-day in regard to the serious labor troubles which have been occurring at Lodz, a town of Poland, 75 miles from Warsaw, where 30,000 men have been on strike since ilay Day and have been en gaged in riotous demonstrations dating which they made violent attacks on the Hebrew residents. From these later dis patches it is learned that the rioting has been of a iar graver character than was at first supposed, and that the outbreaks have been accompanied by a serious loss of life, both in the ranks of the strikers and the Hebrews whom they attacked. All during last week the unemployed men had been in an ugly and dangerous mood and their anger toward their former employers and the hated Hebrews grew so intense that it resulted in a series of dis orders in which a number of human lives and considerable property were sacrificed. The strikers first made an attack on the mills, and the authorities being inadequate to cope with the lare number of excited and desperate men, the rioters had things pretty much their own way and succeeded in thoroughly wrecking the buildings. "When they had become tired of this work of destruction the rioters turned their at tention to the Hebrews living in the place and proceeded in force to the Hebrew quarter to carry out their revengeful designs. Tne Hebrews having feared an attack from the strikers, had made preparations to defend their lives and property and they offered a most desperate resistance to the invaders of their homes. The fighting be tween tne attacking rioters and the be sieged Hebrews was fierce, and many of the combatants on both sides lost .their lives during the conflict, while a large number received wounds which in many instances will probably result totally. The local officials were powerless to sup press the rioting, and the situation grew so alarming that the Governor -nas finally compelled to invoke the aid of the military in quelling the disturbances. It is alleged that the sympathy of the soldiers was with the strikers in their attacks on the Hebrews, and that when they were dispatched to the scene of the fighting they made no attempt to defend thete people, and only intervened for the purpose of preventing the riot from spreading through the town. The whole place is in a state of great ex citement over the affair, and the authorities are taking precautionary measures in the event of a renewal of the disorders. TO BE HANGED IN TWO WEEKS. Murderer Dermlnc Mother Predicted That Such Would Bo Ills Fata. SlEXBOtmx E, May 9. The execution of Frederick Bailey Deeming for the murder of his wife at Windsor, a suburb of this city, was to-day set down for May 23.

He is report ed as saying that his mother predicted that he would be hanged before he reached the age of 40. It is evident that Deeming has not the slightest hope that his appeal for a further inquiry into his mental condition will avail him to escape hanging. The condemned murderer to-dav confessed to a clergyman that he killed his wife at Windsor. Deem ing claims that in his youth he was called "Mad Fred," and says that on one occasion he threw a girl, who addressed him by that name, into a canal.

He also says that his father, mother and brother were confined in asylums, but in formation reaches here from Liverpool that his two brothers, who reside in Birkenhead, say there is not a word of truth in this story. BI0TEBS BEAT THE POLICE. Jfon-rjnion Men Canto Disturbances Among England's Mining Operatives. London, May 9. Castledene colliery, near Hartlepool, has been the scene of riotous outbreaks since Saturday. The trouble grew out of the employment in the mine of a non-union man named Stockdale. The union men attacked him Saturday evening as he was leaving his work, and would no doubt have seri ously injured him had it not been for the interference of the police. The rioters then turned their attention to the latter and hurled a shower of stones at them. A num ber of the policemen were struck by the missiles and badly injured. Stockdale then took to his heels and ran to his home. The men afterwards attacked Stockdale's home and the colliery and carried off 100 tons of coal. Sunday the mine officials premised to discharge Stockdale and the troubles were stopped. The ringleaders of the mob will be arrested. There has also been rioting to-day at the cotton mills at Ashton-TJnder-Lyne, where the operatives are indignant that "non-union men should be emplayed. Police quelled the disturbances.

TTSSU Littell'b, 203 Smithfleld St. HILL WORK IN OHIO. The Senator's Friends Accused of a Peculiar Apportionment GIVING THEM MOKE DELEGATES. Warwick Poesn't Think He Will Have to Kun for Congress Again, MORGAN NOT BEING SO HARD TO BEAT Columbus, o., May 0. Special.' The Cleveland-Campbell crowd are terribly ex ercised over what thoy claim is a triok of the Hill man to "do" them at the Demo cratic State Convention In this city, on June 14 and IB. When the Democratic State central committee met to fix the time and place for the convention a few weeks ago, It was supposed that the representation would be one delegate for each COO and frootlon over 250 votes oast for James E. Campbell for Governor last year, but lo and behold, when the call ap peared in print it was found that the appor tionment was fixed on the vote of 1889, the year Governor Campbell was elected, when a very large Democratic vote was cast, and not last year, when he was defeated on a light Democratic vote. The meat in the cocoanut lies in the fact that Cincinnati and Hamilton county.under the apportionment of the call, get 82 dele gates instead of about 58, and it is said these men will all be anti-Cleveland, The same rule will work the same way in other parts of the State, and 65 delegates will be gained for the Hill faction so, at least, the Cleveland men say. It is not known why the 1889 instead of the 1891 vote was taken as a basis for ap portionment, unless it was to make a better showing for the Demooraoy a larger con vention, etc. A committee was appointed to apportion the vote by counties, but It is not known that any particular year was mentioned, although it is customary to take the latest election vote in the appor tionment for delegates. Chairman Norton laughs about the matter, and Bays that it does not make mnoh difference, as Ohio will be all split up anyhow. JUDGE KING WASN'T IN IT. nis Late Judicial Antagonist Says He Never Had a Bit of Show. Youngstown, May9. ttyedol Judge Johnston to-day, npon being informed that Judge King credited him with causing his de feat for the Congressional nomination, said: The Judge certainly gives me more credit than I deserve. There was no time dnring the progress of the convention that Judge King could have been nominated. Frankly I did not expect to see Mr. Morgan nom inated. The instruction I gave my delega tes was to use their own judgment and they noted accordingly, . and I had abundant leasoc to believe I would be nominated. During tho recess of the coventlon, at supper time, I had piom lses from 60 of the Stark county delegates that they would support me, and I felt confi dent of winning, why tliey did not fulfill their promises I cannot say, but I staid in the race believing that I would bo nomi nated. There is a strong sentiment here among Bepublicans against the nominee, Mr. Mor gan. County Auditor Devoy said to-day: "The nomination ofMr. Morgan is an in sult to more than 3,000 members ot the Amalgamated Association and other branches of organized labor in Mahoning county."

Con gressman John G. Warwick arrived from Washington to-day and will remain several days on private business. He was asked what he thought of the Democratio success in this district He replied: From what I can hear, the Bepublicnn nominee, Mr. Morgan, will prove very weak, and can be defeated by the Democratio can didate, despite the large nujorlty in the dis trict. I am Rlad this is so. Under normal conditions tne district is safely KopuDlican, and If tbat party had named a man who could carry the full strength of the district, I would have it incumbent on myself to aocept a ronomlnation, even against my wishes. As it is now, with a splendid obance of electing the Democratio nominee, I leel at liberty to follow my own inclination and return to private life. I very much prefer not to be a candidate.

He re plied: 1 "The contraet made with the Chicago lo cal committee was to give Chicago 3,000 tick ets in a struotu re seating 16,000 people.

A Peculiar System or Bookkeeping in the Allegheny Controller's Office Books Do Not Balanon by Nearly Two Millions After RIppey's Money. The regular meeting of the Allegheny Auditing Committee was held last night As no meeting of the sub-committee had been held owing to the lack of a quorum, the report of the auditors, Bigger and Mc Kirdy, was presented direct to the general committee. The report was concerning the bond account of the citv kept by the Con troller, and was read by Chairman Gilli ford. The report was as follows) your audltois would respectfully report that we bave finished our examination of the bond accounts of the olty, anc" find that the proceeds of all bonds Bold, beginning with what were called "foreign bonds," in 1819, to the present date,have been paid over to the proper olty officers. We ato find that fiom the year I860 to the year 1870 bonds have been issued amounting to considerable sums, from which the city received no cash. These bonds were Issued to contractors in settlement of their claims against tbe olty. These issues havo been propeilv authorized by Councils, proper entries or explanatory entries have been made on the Controller's books, consequently wo believe they are correctly acoouuted for. As to tbe manner of keeplnir the bond ao counts in the Controller's books, we would say that while these accounts have been kept in an intelligible manner the entries have not been made correctly and in ordor to keep the accounts right only certain en tries or one side of certain entries were posted to the ledger. Continuing, the report cited items from the bootcs as examples to show that while all the proceeds from the bonds, etc., were accounted for, the bookkeeping was not in proper form. Occasionally debets got on the credit side of an account and so on, making a wrong appearance, though the accounts were correct Auditor Bigger stated there was no short age, but on account of defective bookkeep ing the accounts do not balance by 51,900, 000. A discussion arose as to whether the office was all right because there was no shortage. It was ended by some one calling up the Rippey shortage, and the Controller said the matter was in the hands ot the City Solicitor. The auditors will next inspect the interest account STELLA WANTED TO DIB. She Drinks Three Ounces of Iodine, but May lave. Stella Coin, a colored girl, 18 years old, attempted to commit suicide last night at the home of her father, John Coin, on Ar lington avenue, Southside, opposite the city line. At supper lost night it was noticed that the girl was acting crueerly, but she denied that anything was wrong. About 9 o'clock she secured a bottle of iodine and before she conld be prevented had swallowed three ounces of the drug. Dr. Potter was sent for and after two hours' work relieved the girl. He thinks she will recover. Miss Coin admitted that she had tried to take her life. It is said that she had been disappointed in a young man who has been paying her attention, and that this led to the act CLEAKED OUT A POOL BOOM. Heads Broken and Windows Smashed in a Bow at Apollo. A constable from Apollo arrested a man named William Stitt, in the East End last night on an information charging him with "affray." The offense is alleged to have been committed some time in April, in a pool room at Apollo, when Stitt and some companions are said to have started a fight, and cleaned the place out Billiard cues and balls were used, not only to break the heads of the crowd, but also to break the windows and sma3h the pictures on the walls. Stitt was locked up In Central station last night, and will be taken to Apollo to-day. Better Than a SI Bottle of Ulood Purifier. Dr. W. H.

WOMEN AND DANCING Tho Two Topics Which Agitated the Methodist Conference. A MOVE IN FAVOR OP PLEASURE Started in New Tork With the Approval of Bishop Foster. MINISTERS SCHEME TO COYEE BEC0EDS Omaha, Neb., May 9. Women and dancing were two of the topics that agitated the Methodist Episcopal General Conference to-day. Committee membership was de manded for the former and young members gave decided indications of a desire to enjoy the latter. The woman question was Bprung in the form of a resolution by J. B. Maxwell, of Nebraska, asking that they be admitted to full participation in the doings of the General Missionary Committee. The resolution while exciting much interest was referred under the rules without discussion. The project to mix terpsichorean gaiety with piety came in the shape of a memorial from the Troy Conference, petitioning the General Conference to expunge from the discipline section 242, relating to amuse ments, or at least asking that it be modified so that dancing may be permisible. The memorial is signed by Bev. William W. Foster, Joel W. Eaton, William H. Hughes, John W. Thompson, E. P. Stev ens, E. E. Sawyer and several others, all of New York. Bishop Foster, of Boston, ap proves the movement and has given it his official sanction, and will advocate its adoption. The memorial is now in the hands of the Committee on Discipline, to whom it was referred. A Bishop to Be Called Down. Dr. Hammond, of San Francisco, offered a resolution referring to the entertainment of the next General Conference. A commit tee was appointed to consider the subject A resolution was offered calling upon the Committee on Episcopacy to ascertain if either of the missionary bishops had or dained anybody outside of the special ter ritory to whioh they have been assigned and if so by what authority they had done so. The resolution was referred to the Committee on Episcopacy. This will doubtless touch the action of Bishop Tavlor, who, it is said, ordained a minister while in England. His authority extends only over the work in Africa. William Deering, of the Bock Biver Con ference, was added to the Committee on Equalization. Amos Shinkle offered a reso lution to fix the time for the election of officers for Tuesday, May 17, and it was car ried. This, it is thought, will start inter est in the work of electioneering, and from now until May 17 work of building fences wili be pushed with great vigor by the can didates. A resolution was offered calling for an in vestigation into affairs of Grant University at Chattanooga. It was alleged in the reso lution that this institution has squandered a great deal of money, and kept in employ ment a larger faculty than necessary to do the work of the institution. The resolution was referred to the Committee on Freed man's and Aid and Southern Education Society. Dr. J. F. Sponce Is President of Grant "University, and will probably defend the management when the proper time comes. A Defense of the Public Schools. Dr. J. M.

LATIMER, 138 and 140 Federal Street AJweeoHcsivY, :ea.. the Episcopacy, offered a resolution for a proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United States. It relates to protection of the public schools in the United States against religious encroachments and to de fine the attitude of the churches with rela tion to schools. The resolution was adopted amid applause. Dr. King also offered a .resolution declar ing that appropriation of money by the na tional Government for ecclesiastical educa tion was not in accord with the principles of the Constitution, and that the churches should refuse to receive money from the Government for the education of the In dians. Dr. King spoke earnestly npon the subject, stating that all the churches had been getting assistance from the Govern ment in their Indian work. He believed it a wrong principle. The Catholic Church, he said, had received over $2,000,000. He wanted the whole contract system between the Government and the Chnroh wiped out The resolution was carried nnanimously. Dr. W. F. Monlton, the English frater nal delegate, being obliged to leave for home, was requested to give the conference a parting word. He mode an eloquent ad dress. After a waive of applause, the con ference arose and sang "Bless Be the Tie That Binds."
