LABOR TROUBLES.
general strike of Brakemen on the Baltimore
and Olilo Railway.
New York, June 14.— The brakemen on the
Baltimore ami Ohio railroad are oa a general
strike. 1 be trouble is not on account of wages,
lut simply the result of a reduction in the
forces cn freight trains. The general roductioa
wes trade removing front brakemen of every
freight train drawn by mogul engines, and
efforts were made to send out trains with two
brakeneti The brakemen claim that the state
law requires one man for every ten cars, and
tbe mi gul engines usually draw thirty cars,
V\ lieu ti e) mw t«o men would be required to
uni.afe n train, a refusal was made to go out,
btei tbe tiwins were at a standstill.
An attempt ty officials to send out trains
resulted in tie brakemen congregating, pull-
lug tbe pir s, cutting the train in ten or twelve
parts n il threatening injury to person.
One ( fltcial drew a revolver and threatened
to tfcoot, Bi d for n time it iooked as though a
liot was imminent. Two of the leaders of the
strike wae arm ted and placed iu jail, but
were pood released by Rdvice of the company's
(litem y for fear their confinement would
lead lo greater excitement and further trou-
lle.
The conductors refused to go out without
their lfgular crews, and thus another obstacle
wae net and a number of regular trains were
held. Lest night a small train was sent out
There are about 300 brakemen here and all de
termined.
To FJect Striking Miners,
Wilkesbarrb, Fa., June 14.—Sheriff Obar-
Tender will leave here to-morrow for High-
land and Drifton with eight writs of eject-
ment against striking miners, who are holding
possession of the company's houses and refus-
ing to pay rent or return to work at the terms
offered by the operators. The sheriff expects
that resistance will be offered and will take a
posse of coal and iron police with which to
quell aty disturbance that may arise.
Iron Workers Dlssatlallad.
Pittsburgh, June 14.—The conference of
iron workers and manufacturers, held here
yesterday, adjourned without result. The
manufacturers offered a compromise, the na-
ture of w hich is not known, and, after a dis-
cussion lasting nearly ten hours, the workmen
rejected it. The manufacturers then asked
for another conference Tuesday.
Train Men Strike.
Btonbboro, Pa., June 14.—The trainmen on
the Buffalo, New York and Philadelphia rail-
road struck, yesterday, for back pay and
againBt a reduction of wages of 35 per cent.
Freight Conductor Ryan attempted to move
the train in the afternoon; but was prevented
by tbe strikers, who stopped the engine and
attacked Ryan, seriously injuring him. Near-
ly ico cars of freight are sidetracked here.
Strike Collapsed.
Fjttsbubgh, June 14.—The glass-workers'
strike at Shorpsburg Pa., haB collapsed, and
the men will resume work at tbe redactioa to-
morrow. Tbe struggle lasted six months.
INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
The Fall River Mills.
Fall River, Mass., June 14.—The majority
of the mills have stopped the required month,
yet theie is more print cloth in the market to-
day than there was when the stoppage began.
The stoppage of one month has curtailed the
production 080,000 pieces and has bee l a loss
to operatives of $250,000. It is now certain
that the mills will shut down two waaks in
July and two in August.
Oliver Bros. & Phillies' Mill to Itesnm} Opera-
tions.
Pittsburgh, June 14 —The mills of Oliver
Pros. <fc Phillips, employing over 3000
mm, will resume operations to-morrow.
After the adjournment of the con-
ference last night, the firm mat
the committee of the Amalagated association
and signed tbe clause providing for extra pay
for working over old rails. It is now believed
that the conference on Tuesday will result in
a settlement of the differences between the
manufacturers and the workmen, and bafore
the end of the week all the mills will be run-
uirg.
Will Resume Work.
Pittsburgh, June 14— Graff, Bennett &
Co., operating three mills, notified their em-
ployes at Millvale to hold themselves in readi-
ness to resume work. The tires have be9n

Louisville, June 14.—United States Mar-
shal Gross and Detective Bauer returned from
Veisailles, Ky., bringing Aloozi Paget, one
of tbe beBt known and most skilled counter-
feiters in the country. Fuget's record covers
pages in the books of the government secret
service and be has produced some of the most
deceptive currency ever issued. He began
operating in New York sixteen years ago, and
has since turned out hfs Bpurious coin in near-
ly every State in the Union. He was head of
trie notorious Crabtree gang and was
reported killed when most of its
members were coptured in 1STG. His work
was afterwards recognized by experts and
many efforts were made to discover bis
whereabouts, which Marshal Gross learned a
few dayB ago. Fuget was living in a lonely
hut near Versailles, The officers arreBted him

London, June 14 —The queen, it is sail, is
delighted ovor Mr. Gladstone's downfall.
The Parnellits, who accomplished his over-
throw, are going to encounter the hardest
times they ever had. The Marq iis of Salis-
bury, everybody begins to see, lacks self confi-
dence. He has been bold, but never farsighted
as a leader of the opposition, but the very
mement the Gladstone ministry resigned the
Marquis of Salisbury became a supplicant for
public help and vowed be would not take
pewer unless the Liberals " gave his gorern-
i;:.ei.t a show." Mr. Gladstone never askei
a show from anjbody. The queen could not
conceal ber satisfaction over the change in
politics, as she never liked Mr. Gladstone. He
was superior to etiquette, could not flitter
and was impatient as a state servant to the
throne. Her majesty is so well pleased over
tbe prospect ol again having a Tory and an
aristocrat at the bead of affairs that she tele-
graphed her acceptance of Mr. Gladstone's re-
signation and by wire summoned the Marquis
of Salisbury to accept the trust of forming a
new government
It is understood that tbe Marquis of Stlia-
1 ury will refrain from entering the work of
forming a new cabinet until he has held con-
ferences with all the Conservative leaders.
Singular as it may appear to foreigners, the
chief political interest of Britons just now
does not seem to be in the direction of a new
ministry, but principally in theforeign policy;
and, secondly, in the Irish policy of the Con-
servative government. Mr. Parnell certainly
must have the measure of his ambition nearly
filled when he has succeeded in making the
affairs of Ireland the most important subject
of British Interest. When the Irish members
on Monday night threw their votes with the
Tories, and wrought the ruin of the minority
that gave Ireland church disestablishment and
tbe land act, they jumped upon their seats and
hurrahed. They were then eertaiu that the
Tories, lifted into power by Irish help, would
at once Parnellize the government.
But the Tories, having recovered from their
first excitement, appear to attribute Glad-
stone's fall not to his harshness toward Ire-
land, but to the loss of the Literal votes driven
from him by diegust at bis " submission" to
Irish bulldozing. Now this " disgusted Lib
eral vote'' is far larger than the Home Rule
vote. The Tories know this. They are wise
in their day and generation. They are play-
Itg for the large vote, and the Irish " are go-
ing to get left." Tho Conservative party is
largely tuled by the prevalent opinion of the
Tcry clubs. The Careltou and other leading
Tory clubs favor tfce order advocated by Earl
Spencer, tbe Irish viceroy, that of an absolute
Eecesbity for the continuance of the coercion
policy in Ireland. On this point the Tories
and a majority of the Liberals will agree, and
cn it thej may combine against the Radicals
and Parnellites. If tbey do the home rulers
will be in such a pitable minority that their
voice will count for nothing in Parliament,
and a long lease of life will be secured to the
present mode of English rule in Ireland.
It is not believed that the Morquis of Salis-
bury will seek assistance from any of the
Gladstone ministers in forming his policy to-
ward Ireland. His plan will be to split the
Liberal party completely by proposing a mea-
sure of coercion based on Earl Spencer's re-
port—a measure the same as the Marquis of
Hartington—Mr. Gladstone's war minister—
and a majoiity of Mr. Gladstone's cabinet
insisted on continuing in Bpite of tbe opposi-
tion of Sir Charles Dilke, Mr. Joseph Cham-
berlain, and Mr. Trevelyan. Such a line of
Iiisb policy would be almost certain to lead to
at ieast a temporary coalition between the
moderate Liberals and the Tories against the
Radicals and Parnellites and give the new gov-
ernment a tremendous majority.
Sir Stafford Northcote, the Tory leader in
the Commons, has already been in consultation
with the Irish executive officials con;erning
tbe real status of affairs in Ireland, and it is
understood that nearly every one of the gentle-
men have stated that no English government
could afford to be responsible for the govern-
ment of Ireland during the coming winter
without the continuance of the Irish crimes
act. Sir Stafford can easily acquire testimony
that wrtl bolster his intentions toward Ireland.
Lord Randolph Churahill, it may ba safely
Btaled, is the only one of the men likely to
form the Conservative cabioet who is at all
likely to advocate the abandonment of coer-
cion. His influence will be far less with his
party when it iB in power than it appeared to
be when he was the opposition leader in the
Commons.
Telegrams from Balmoral indicate that In
the couferences which have taken place be-
tween the queen and the Marquis of Salisbury
her majesty has shown that she is concerned
moBt about the foreign policy of her govern-
ment.
In court circles there is no longer any con-
cealment of rejoicing over the fall of the lib-
eral government. Mr. Gladstone, court offi-
cials now admit, was never in harmony with
tbe queen on any subject, and her majesty
and the premier disagreed in all the discus-
sions about England's foreign affairs. Mr.
Gladstone, it is said, rarely consulted the
queen or informed her of the designs of his
government.
In well informed circles it is thought that
tbe queen's entourage strongly favor a re-
newal of the Soudan campaign, the retention
of Egypt, the settlement of the Anglo-Russian
dispute on the basis of the Granviile-DeGiers
agreement, a renewal of the alliance with
Germany, an entente with Turkey, and no
special cultivation of an entente with France.
A policy embracing these principles has all
along been provided by the permananc officials
in the |British foreign office, among whom
Mr. Gladstone's regime had becoma inteusely
disliked. Mr. Gladstone's intimation of a de-
termination to retire from public life has for
the present utterly disorganized the Liberal
arrangements for tne coming electoral struggle,
despite that efforts have been made to secure
from him a number of engagements to make
campaign speeches during the ensuing elec-
tion. The only engagement admitted by Glad-
stone is one for Midlothian.
In a recent letter declining a request for a
speech elsewhere, the premier states that he
has given a verbal promise to his political
friends in Midlothian that be will not retire
without making an address to that (his pre-
sent) constituency. The Liberal election
agents gererally report great difficulty in ob-
taining candidates to contest seats on a Liberal
platform. Radical candidates are, however,
reported to be plentiful.
The Birmingham Liberal caucus has adopt-
ed in its programme for the campaign the pro-
posals formulated by the recent miners' parlia-
mentary conference. The proposals call for a
reformation of the House of Lords by the ex-
clusion of the bishops from seats, and by a
specific limitation of the power of the peers to
delay or prevent necessary legislation.
The Earl of Derby, the colonial minister In
tbe cabinet of Gladstone, in an official com-
muLu alien to tbe government of the Cape
eoleny, has intimated his approval of the ac-
tion of Geteral Sir Charles Warren, in thean-
m xaticn of Bechuanalaud. This expansion of
tbe Cape colooy excites an interest in England
that isfubcrdlnate only to tho resignation of
the Gladstone cabinet, and this interest is
made even greater by the glowing descriptions
I ting published of tbe capacities and possibili-
ties of the new territory. Tbe London Times,
in an article describing Bechuanaland, says:
" In territorial extent it is much greater than
Spain. It Is well provided with wood and
cin'ains the best pasture in southern
Africa" "It will grow anything," says the
enthusiastic writer, " from wheat to oranges
ard the finest of grapes. It will furnish, ba-
sides, many thousands of farms for settlers "
'I he Si ectator, alarmed apparently at tho
possible outcome of this annexation of the ter
itcry, comments at some length on the nub
abet, end tajs: "In the same week England
assumed a protectorate over the lower Nfgre,
and annexes the vast province of Bechuana-
land. Can anjthiug be said now about the
rapacity of Germany in wanting the territory
of the Sultan of Vfctre, of France in claiming
Ike Congo country i The government of the
Trarsvaal republic is Incensed at the annexa-
tion of Bi cluianaland to the Cape colony, and
will n i k alliance with the tribes in Ma^hua-
land, just north of Bechuanaland,and will try
to feiment a war with England, in the hope
that Bechuanaland may be claimed to tiie
Transvaal territory."
General Sir Peter Lumsden has asked the
promoters of the fund now being raised to se-
cure fcr him a sword of honor, to suspend fur-
ther action in the matter until his relations
with the war office are settled.
1 he Prince of Leiningen. it is announced
officially, will succeed Admiral Courbet in
command at tbe Nore, at the end of the cur-
rent month cf June. Tfce Prince of Lainin-
gi n belongs to the royal navy, and at present
commands the yacht Victoria and Albert. He
is a son of tho late Charles Frederick, Prince
of Leiningen, who was a half brother to the
quetn. This appointment of the prince to the
More, and the nomination of the Prince of
Saxe-Woimar to succeed Major-general Steele
in the command of the forces in Ireland, are
due, it is said, to the urgent commands of her
majesty tbe queen, and are the cause of much
oisconlent in both the army and navy service.
The imperial government has ordered the
pa} ment of £100 to each widow of a Canadian
voyageur in the Nile expedition. It is also
ordered that the mothers of lose voyageurs
shall be paid £50 each.
1 be steamer Minia passed the Lizzard to day
on her way to the northern Atlantic to grap-
ple for tbe ends of the broken Gould cables. The
fioint of breakage bas been located and is in
orgitude 58, latitude 47. The separated part
HeB therefore in tbe deepest part of the At-
lantic ocean. The Miuia will reach tho locality
June 2fl, and, with good weather, will pro-
bably complete her work of repairing the
cable in a week or ten days.
The Spanish finoneial commission in London
have issued a notice warning the public that
there ore large amounts of forged Spanish
bonds at present in circulation. The bonds,
the notice states, have been negotiated in
various European bourses and in the United
feiatts. The most noticeable difference be-
tween the forged and true Spanish securities
is said to be tbe coarseness of the outlines and
lack of detailed drawing in the embossed like-
uus of King Alfonso, which is printed on the
former.
The failure of the Hatton Gordon firm of
diamond merchants, for $500,000, bas caused
r.. mi-pnnic in tbe London diamoad trade, in
which oiher serious failures are now looked
for. The market in diamonds has formany
months been extremely depressed.
The long continued quarrel between Qmen
Victoria and her son-in-law, Louis IV, Grand
Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt, because of thi lit-
ter's morganatic marriage to Madame Kalo-
mine, bas, it is said, beeu amicably ended i'iio
dnke, who before the discovery of the Kaio-
mine affair was believed to be a suitor for the
hand of Piincess Beatrice, who, according to
report, he was to marry as soon as the Pailia-
mint pnFsed the deceasc-d-wife's-sister bill,
will, according to recent announcement, soon
le married to the Princess Helen of Anhalt
Dessau.
The marriage of Princess Beatrice to Prince
Henry of Battenburg will not, after all, be
such a quiet affair as it was at first intended;
in fact the queen seems to have made up her
mind to marry off her last daughter with con-
siderable pomp and ceremony. Her majesty
has issued orders to largely increase the in-
vitations to the wedding, and the bridal cake,
which is to be something quite extraordinary
in the confectioner's art.wiii weigh 250 pounds.
This big sweet piece is to be built upon three
tiers and to repose on a pedestal of gold. No
member of the royal family of Germany is to
be invited to Princess Beatrice's wedding.
From Brussels comes a pleasant letter con-
cerning Empress Charlotte, the unfortunate
widow of Maximilian, of Mexico. It states
that a marvelous improvement is noticeable
in her mental condition. The empress en-
tered her foity-sixth year on Thursday last,
and tfce doctors who have been attending her
have observed recently that her health has
grown to be excellent and the malady which
for years has oppressed her braiu has been
gradually disappearing.
The French government has decided to sup-
press the gaming tables at Monte Carlo. M.
Schoelcher, the reporter to the French sena-
torial committee which has been investigating
the entire subject of gambling at this famous
resort, has written a letter to the association
formed to break up the games that the gov-
ernment will no longer tolerate the criminal
enterprise carried on at Monte Carlo, and
which disgraces the fragment of French terri-
tory. The Prince of Monaco, who owns the
gambling-house at Monte Caro, declares that
the French government has no jurisdiction
over his property and that he will resist any
effort to interfere with his business.
Miss Mary Anderson is touring in the Eng-
lish lake districts. She is at present journey-

The society amateur, Miss Anglo Fenton,
over whose onnounced adoption of the stage
professionally so much fuss has recently beeu
made in fashionable circles, proves to be the
wife cf Colonel Greenail. She will soon make
her debut as Portia, at the Vaudeville.
Antoinette Trebelli, the daughter of the cele-
brated tenor, has been engaged for a season of
two years at the Grand Opera-house in Paris.
She will be assigned light soprano roles, and
her voice ia described to be one of great
promise.
Mile. Sara Bernhardt's villa near Havre has

From Paris it is learned that the Bonapart-
ist manifesto recently issued by the supporters
of Prince Victor Napoleon has fallen flat in
the provinces, where it excites no attention at
all.
Prince Jerome Bonaparte, "Plonl'lon," is
ailing with diabetes, and his doctor urges hiiu
to keep away from all political excitement.
Pion Plon is very desirous of securing a re-
conciliation with his son, Prince Victor.
Eugene bas stopped the annual pension of 24,-
000 francs which had been settled on Victor.
The reason for stopping the pension was
plainly stated to be the riotous and vicious
character of life the young man was leading
Victor, however, has strong friends. A syndi-
cate of these, when they learned of his lo's, at
once organized and settled upon him a ae *
ptrsion of 48,000 francs per annum. This syn-
dicate is beaded by the Due de la Dare, and
a condition has been Imposed upon
I'rince Victor to the effect that he must
live prudently and virtuously. Pr&ce Victor
I <lng now practically independent, is quite
t o ld. He refuBcs to be reconciled to his father
unlessPlon-Plon shall bend himself to repay
to Victor's friends ail the moneys they hava
thus far advanced to him. Tho ex empress
and the Princesses Clothilde and Mathilde are,
PI
B
it is reported, engaged in a conspiracy to sup-
lt nt Prince Victor as the pretender to the
onapartist succession by his brother, Prince
Louis. The latter, however, refuses, it is
said, to be a party to this conspiracy.
The trial of Albert Pel, at Paris, who is
charged with having poisoned his mother, his
CJst and second wives, and several of his mis-
tresste, is prof ressing ar.d causes much inter-
est among Parisians. The motive of the al-
leged murders was to necure possession of the
ironey in the victims'possession. Pel, thus
far, bas undergone bis examination with the
greatest assurance and without betraying any
feeling.
THE COUDKN CLUB
Remarks of Sir Charles Dilke and lion Joseph
Cliambeflnln at the Annual Dinner —
England's Trsde Compared
with that of America.
London, June 14.—The annual dinner of the
Cobden club took place last night. Among
tbe speakers were Sir Charles Dilke, who said,
although England had great interests in
Eg} pt, other European powers were also en-
titled to a voice in the settlement of the future
of that country. Those powers, however,
ought to give a guarantee for the neutrality
of Egypt similar to that establishing the
neutrality of Belgium. He believed
that a co-operation of the powerd and
tbe porte would insure tranquillity
in Egypt. In respect to Ireland, he said he
desired for that country the same forms ot
gocd government as for England. Ha urged
[ngliscmtn to give Ireland the Bame munici-
pal and imperial franchise as enjoyed by
themselves. Englishmen, he said, have no
conception of the imperfection of the munici-
pal government, or the meaning of the grand
jury system, or the grievances imposed upon
the people of Cork, Limerick and Belfast.
These people are compelled to obtain sanction
of England for every small private bill altect-
irg local interests These abuses, he continued,
were a source of weakness and danger to the
English connection.
The Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain agreed
with the sentiments expressed by Sir Charles
Diike. Mr. Chamberlain said: "We are un-
able to congratulate ourselves on any great
recent conversion to free-trade principles, but
that is to be regretted more for protectionist
countries than for our own." Coatinuing, he
said: Despite ;the exceptional depression in
business, ho ventured to state that England's
general trade was more prosperous than that
of any country in tbe world. Comparing
tfce trade of England with that of
An erica, Mr. Chamberlain read extracts from
tbe reports of Mr. McCullough, recently
American secretary of the treasury, on Ameri-
can overproduction, and referred to the mark-
ed increase of failures lu America as compared
with the decrease in England, and quoted from
a commercial agency's report on thereductiou
cf wages to show tbe disadvantages
rf tbe protective syBtem. The shipping trade
he said, was almost entirely in the hands of
English ship-owners. The American iron trade
ip tbe most heavily protected, yet there are in
Ibat country 80,000 unemployed iron-workers.
The English boot and shoe trade is also in-
cieasing, and has driven American and
French goods from every neutral market, tha
American tradeis being burdened by hoavy
duties on leather. Even in clocks and watches,
which are considered indigenous to America,
our exports to the United States nearly
equaled the imports to England, while in the
British colonies and elsewhere English goods
aie pushing American goods out of the mar
ket8." In regard to tbe woolen trade,
Mr. Chamberlain stated that there was no
reason on earth why America should not com-
pete with England except for high tariff. In
America the number of persons employed has
dec reased and wages have fallen 25 to 30 per
cent. American exports had largely decreased,
while English exports of textile and woolen
fabrics to America have doubled. The tax on
corn imposed by the French had a baneful ef
feet on farming.
Turning to politics, Mr. Chamberlain said
be could eouec-ive of no nobler nor more genial
task of a reformed Parliament than to carry
out the legislation expounded by Sir Charles
Dilke. It must also deal with the obstruction
of parliamentary business, which resulted in
saddling the government with petty de-
tails that ought to be referred to
other bodies. What was wanted was a
remedy for the deep-rooted discontent which ia
tbe natural result of one nation tryingto in-
terfere with and control the domestic life and
social economy of] another, whose genius and
requirements are not understood. He looked
to tbe new Parliament to accomplish this
f reat work, which was the only hope to pacify
Ireland and maintain the strength and integ-
rity of the empire.
'I be speeches of Mr. Chamberlain and 8ir
Charles Dilke, will, it is thought, make a great
sensation. They are regarded as a direct bid
by the Radicals for an Irish alliance against
both the Whigs and Tories.

TERRIFIC FIGHT WITH ROBBERS
AT NEW ORLEANS.
A Brave Police Ofllcer Savra a Citizen'. Life,
Kills a Nolorloua I liter and Puts the
l.atter's "Pals" to Flight.
i Special to The Nbws.i
New Orleans, June 14 —Corporal Thomas
Duffy prevented a daring robbery this morn-
ing by prompt action and courage. The re-
sult, however, was that he was roughly
bandied and one of the robbers was killed. He
was In the Third Precinct station, at 2:30,
w ben cries of murder in a man's strong voioa
rang out on tbe still night. Tbey continued,
and the shrill tones of a woman were joined
w ith those cf the man in his cries for help.
Corporal Duffy, at the alarm, ran off in tho
direction of the corner of St. Peter and Damtnr
streets, whence the cries emanated. When
close to the place he saw a man'a form pros-
trate cn the sidewalk, lying near tho railing of
Jackson square, and three other men making
off inEtfce distance, going up Decatur street.
The prostrate man told the corporal to catoh
fbe mei, and Duffy started off after them.
They fled, and the corporal followed. At tho
corner of Jefferson and Decitur streets, about
175 feet from where the prostrate man
wns found, Duffy caught one of the man
and told him to halt—that he was
his prisoner. The two others stopped,
and, while one said, " kill the "
tbe other struck him over the left arm ani
head with a slungshot. The officer had drawn
bis revolver, and as the men struck him wit-
the slungshot the prisoner, whom Duffy held,
placed a revolver to the officer's breast and
fired. The bullet struck just at the top edge
of tbe breast bone end the junction of the col-
lar-bone.
Upon being shot, Duffy let go the man, who
kept snapping bis revolver at him, and per-
ceiving that his life was in great danger he
fired twice, downing his man. Tho two other
thieves perceiving that tha corporal was de
tei mined to hold his ground, and seeing
their ral fall, took to their heels. The blow
Duffy had received and the shock that was
produced by the bullet striking his breast
caused him to fail to the ground, but he had
regained his feet when assistance arrived. The
robber was still lying on tha sidawalk. An ex-
amination showed he was already dead. One
of Duffy's bullets entered the left side just
above the heart, and the other the right side,
below the last rib. He proved to ba Joa Mar-
tin, a notorious thief. His right hand still
tightly grasped tbe pistol, and under him was
found a pair of false whiskers. In a gutter
near by was a two-pound slung shot that oue
of tbe escaping thieves had dropped.
Duffy was taken to the hospital, where it
was found that his wounds were not of a
serious nature, and he is likely to be able to go
on duty in a few days. He is much commend-
ed for his gallent fight against such odds.
The man assaulted by the robbers proved to
be James Stafford, a wealthy "wholesale
butcher. Mr. Stafford had just stepped from
bis house on his way to market when one of
the highwaymen struck him from behind with
a slung shot. Being a powerful man ho did
not fall, but attempted to grapple his _
uisali&ut, at the same time giving
the alarm. His wife came on the
gallery above and joined her cries with his.
Xbe robber attempted to seize Mr. S:afford'a
watch and chain, but he held on to them. As
Duffy approached. Stafford received a terri-
ble blow on the bead, which knocked him
cowu. His head and face bear the marks of
eleven deep and severe wounds. Although
seriously hurt, his iujuries are not regarded as
fatal.
Tbe police have arrested Charles Malar,
alias Prussian Charlie, and George Lehder on
suspicion of being the accomplices of Martin.
They are pals of tbe dead highwayman.

ing as Jaa. Stofford, a butcher iu the French

killing one of tbe men, but the others escapad.
The elead man has been recognized as a well-
known thief named Joe Martin. Stafford was
terribly beaten. Duffy's wound is not con-
sidered dangerous.

St. Paul, June 14.—About 1000 men, in-
cluding visiting sporta from other cities, went

heavily upon him with vigorous knee action

ately and dealt him a series of very effective
body blows, but the wrestling tactics soon
weakened W ilson.
In tbe ninth round Cardiff knocked Wilson
down, and instead of going back to his corner

with a knock-out. Wilson declined to get up,
when the light was awarded to Cardiff, amid
great excitement, causod by the seconds, Dal-
ton and Hadfield, bounding into the arena ani

Wilson's backers offered to put up money
cn another fight, but Cardiff's frienia refusal.
Cardiff drew the first blood and gave the only
knock-down administered. Both men had
blackened eyes and Wilson had a badly cut
