What Pleases The Bourbons. Another Call for lllaine to I.fad- He is Said to be Sure to Win by Two Ex-Statesmen. Washington, March 4.—Senator Hill is strengthening himself with the machine Democrats by espous ing the cause of his fellow towns men, Congressman Rockwell, whose seat is being contested by a Republi can. Several Democrats on the Com mittee are understood to be con vinced that Noyes was elected and favor the ousting of RocKwell. Senator Hill, however, carrying his New York methods into national politics, is bringing a personal pres sure to bear upon them, and has been able to delav the action of the committee in the hope of whipping them into line. This delights the Bourbons, who declare that Hill is a Democrat after their own hearts. The estimate of Hill s prospective strength just made by his friends gives him three hundred votes iu the National Convention, a group which they claim will attract enough votes after a few ballots to nominate him. Some of Secretary Blaine's friends continue to insist on forcing the Re publican nomination upon him. Mr. John Bowles, of New York, in a letter sent here for publication, insists that the duty of the conven tion will be to nominate Mr. Blaine as the man who can most surely win, and that he will have no right to decline. Ex-Senator Kellogg, who returned to-day from Louisiana, reports the Custom House wing of the Republi cans in the minority there, and inti mates that Louisana Republicans will send an anti-Harrison delega tion to Minneapolis. From what can be gathered here relative to the New York situation it is believed the Republican dele gation from that State will go unin structed. Johh L. Sullivan, in his challenge to the world with regard to the pugilists, large and small, with whom he is now willing to fight, in dulges in more bravado and blow than i3 quite consistent with a man who is decrying it. John L , how ever big a slugger he may be, is little else. Of all the vain types of animal life this country has seen, he certainly caps the climax At times a drunken bully, again as vain as a peacock he poses as the repre sentative American who must needs defend the honor of his country. We can get along without John L., and American manliness will not suffer in the least. Ex-Speaker Reed scores another victory for his ruling as presiding effcerof the house of representatives. The supreme court of the United Slates sustains it in a case brought to test the constitutionality of the elause in the revenue law relative to worsted - DEPUTY SHERIFF'S SHOT BY ROUGH*. Sefious Consequences ol° m Raee War in a Tennessee Town MEMPHIS. Tenn., March 6. News reached the city last night of a riot at the curve on the Hernandio road, three miles from the city. Four deputy sheriff's who had gone there to arrest some negroes had been fired upon. THE CAUSE OP IT. Twenty negroes have been placed under arrest. Those arrested in clude Calvin McDowell, manager of the co-operative store, where the shooting took place and Tom Moss, a letter carrier, who are believed to have been the ringleaders of the af fair. Josh Shields, who shot Depu ties Harold and Yerger, is still at largo. A SMALL RIOT. A short time ago a negro youth named Armour Harris assaulted the child of Cornelius Hurst, an ex press messenger. Hurst caught Armour and thrashed him. Other negroes interfered and Hurst club bed one of them. Last Wednesday night the negroes assembled at the Curve and were very riotous. W. R. Barrett, who runs a grocery, tried to quiet them and was set upon and clubbed and shot at, several bullets passing through his clothes. THE NEGROES THREATEN. The assault occarred in the "Peo ple's Grocery," an establishment owned by a stock company of neg roes, and run by Calvin McDowell. McDowell was arrested Thursday, and gave bond for his appearance at the Criminal Court. Since then the negroes have been holding secret meetings, and evidently preparing for trouble. Yesterday, they boasted to the white residents that no deputy sheriff dare to arrest them. The white people were uneasy, and their families left their homes and moved to town. Judge Dubois was appealed to and issued a bench warrant for Armour Harris and Will Stuart and instructed the officers of the court to get assistance and arrest the negroes, also to suppress any riot assembly around the Curve. So three officers called on nine of the men, most of them deputy sheriffs, and proceed at 10 o'clock last night to the place of the recent disturbance. FOUU DEPUTIES SHOT. Nine deputies went into the store, and while talking to the keeper, the room seemed to fill with negroes. Suddenly there was a shot, and Deputy Sheriff Clarke Cole fell to the floor mortally wounded. This seemed to be the signal, for in an instant the firing became general. Deputy Bob Farrell went down next with a load of buckshot in his back. The deputies taken complete ly by surprise, were unable to re turn the Sre. In a minute the remaining two, E. A. YergerandO. L. Webber, went to the floor, the former riddled with birdshot and the latter with a charge of buckshot in his legs. WRANGLING PALL-BEARERS. Lodge Members Have a Dispute at a Funeral. CHESTER, March 6.—There was a sensation here to-day at the funeral of John M. Lam pi ugh, of 2509 West Girard street. Mr. Lamplngh was a member of the Knights Templar, Royal Arch Chapter and Scott Lodge of Masons, Knights of Birningliam, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythia®, Red Men and United American Mechanics. All the different lodges were in vited by the family to take part in the obsequies, and some five hun dred members of the various orders went to the house. The Masons claimed the right to all the pall bearers which the family said could be settled by the different orders. A controversy was had for a half hour on the pavement in front of the house over the matter. The Masons refused to give one point. It was then agreed by the contend ing lodges thiit the Masons Bhould he allowed six pall-bearers, if each of them was allowed one as honor ary. * This the Masons, also refused, and all the lodges withdrew from the funeral, not so much as going into the house to view the remains. A Nad Accident. The loaded freight *ars coming down theß. & S. Railroad are weigh ed at Bloomsburg, thiß work being performed by Mr. Koeher or bis as sistants from the D. L. & W. office. On Thursday afternoon, the freight train came in heavily loaded, and the work of weighing was about to be gin. Charles A. Thomas an assistant of Mr. Kochers jumped on the rear car of the train as it was backing down to the weighing scales. As the car upon which he was riding ap proached the scales he leaped off, but ascertaining that he had for gotten the key, he endeavored to cross the track in front of the ap proaching cars to procure a key from a trainman, lie slipped and fell across the rail. By struggling he succeeded in rolling partially off before being caught by the car. While he no doubt saved his life, he did not escape being mained for life. His left leg was mashed from the knee down and the flesh 011 his right leg was considerably lacerated. The injury to his left leg was so serious as to necessitate its amputa* tion above the knee. He stood the operation like a hero and is getting along as comfortably as can be ex pected under the circumstances. Charles has the sympathy of the en tire community.— Jßlootnsburg Re publican. AWAVLTED A IIEPOIITEU. Brumal Oalrage by » llitmwoaked Dire Keeper. WIKES'BARRE, March 7. —Some two months ago two newspapers commenoed a crusade against a number of low class saloons in this city, the dive kept by Paddy Can non being the special center of their attack. To-day the decision ot the license court was announced, and among the refused applications was that of Cannon; Upon learning the news he rushed out on the street. He met Thomas P. Hyder, a reporter on the Record, who had written the articles against him in that paper. Cannon ran up to him and struck him a terrific blow in the face, knocking him down. Ryder's head struck against a curbstone and he was dazed for some moments. As he attempted to arise Canr on again knocked him dowu and then kicked him in the side several times. The police ar rested the saloon keeper. ITe plead guilty and was fined S2O and held in S3OO bail for a trial. m I The Lingfo Decision. TRENTON, March 7.—Prosecutor Wilson H. Jenkins, of Camden, had an interview with Chief Justice Beasley today in the. Lingo matter. The Prosecutor sought to get an expression from the Chief Justice as to whether he would be permitted to make a statement in open court in explanation and contradiction of certain charges made by ex- Judge Westcott in reference to the testimony of Detective James A. Campbell. Mr. .lenkins said it was not true that he had refused to allow the in troduction of Campbell's testimony at the trial, or that Campbell was prevented from coming into New Jersey to testify through threats of arrest on a charge of perjury in con nection with the alleged confession. He said he would have given Campbell a safe conduct into and out of the State, and that his objec tion to the Campbell story taken be fore Commissioner Vroom in Phila delphia was that it was not under oath, and that Vroom was told be fore the testimony was taken that it would be of no worth. He said there was no new testi mony that could not have beeu pro duced at the former trial. The Chief Justice listened to the prosecutor's statement and gave him no decision as to the action to be taken in the matter. When the Chief Justice was ap plied to later for information, he said : "There is nothing new in the Lingo case today. A decision will be given either to-morrow or on Wednesday." • LATTER: Lingo wns granted a new trial on Tuesday noon. Shocking Wife .Harder. NEW YORK, March 7 —Mrs. Kate Scanlan, of No. 441 West Sixteenth street, died in New York Hospital this morning of severe burns from a iglited lamp which was thrown at her last night by her husband, Richard Scanlin, who is now a prii oner in the West Twentielh Street Station charged with murder. Scanlin went home last night and he alleges found his wife in a com promising situation with his own brother, Michael Scanlan, a hand some fellow of 35 years.

Sullivan to fight for SIO,OOO a side, and the largest purse that any club will give.
