Special Dispatches to The Slhrsisi Cau»
New Tosk. Aug. 4.— A Herald City of
Mexico dispatch says: An American living
in Salvador lias sent a dispatch
liere confirming in every particu
lar the dispatches of Ezeta's victory over
Rivas and adding that the march made
by F-zeta of 110 miles was covered in ujday
and a hnlf, and the fight took place imme
diately on the arrival of the troops at
tee capital, lasting from July 29:h to the
Slst, inclusive. Rivas, instead of being
captured in the capital, was taken prisoner
In Aculpuaea, a suburban town, and
brought to the capital with many other
leaders of the Indians and shot. With the
death of their leader the Indian prisoners
of war will join Ezeta's forces amd
inarch against the Guatemalans. They
will be detached to make night attacks on
points of vantage held by the Guatema
lans. These attacks will be made with
tin ir ugly knives, and their charges will
probably be successful, as they will be
forced to niak-a them at the point of the
bayonet, and will be allowed no fire-arms.
Ou good authority it is stated that the
affairs between tlio United States and
Guatemala are in a very critical condition,
owing to the seizure of firearms aboard the
Culima and the tampering With official
correspondence of the United States by the
Guatemalan Government. Two American
men-of-war are already In the port of San
Jose and are ready to meet nny emergency,
Other cruisers from tho United btates are
expected soon.
V;" Washington-, Aug. 3.— At last Lansing
B. Mizner, United Slates Minister Resident
in Ceutial America, has been heard from.
The Department of State to-day received
telegraphic dispatches from him stating
that he was at a place called Menton
in Guatemala, and he was in communica
tion with the commanders of the United
States vessels Thetis and Uanger. Here
MuiiiT stopped without sayiug a word about
the bloody conflict! supposed to be in
progress between Guatemala and Salvador.
Minister Mizner's silen'-e as to all impor
tant particulars is thought to signify
that either be received none of the dis
patches sent him by the department during
the past two weeks or else he is not allowed
by the Guatemalan Government to send out
the particulars of any ol the internal affairs
•f the country at the present time.

THE GUATEMALAN LOAS.
Efforts to Capture the S-pecial Commissioner
With Specie and Doenmtn's.
New York, Aug. 3. the members of
~..'iX the Joriau Colony in this city were in
a high state of excitement yesterday. This
was caused by the announcement of the ar
rival here and the sudden departure of
Francois Cotter, the special Commissioner
of the Guatemalan Treasury Department
with £2,000,000, a portion of the proceeds of
the sale of Guatemala bonds in London.
As Salvador and Guatemala are at war the
capture of Commissioner Cotter with his
treasure would be a bit; event. The most
extraordinary efforts, therefore, are being
made to intercept him In Panama or else
where.
As Cotter sailed Friday on the Pacific
Wail steam-hip City of Para he ought to
arrive at Colon on Saturday next. In audi
tion to the men who have started overland
to Mexico by rail, the cable has been util
ized to inform General Ezeta of the situa
tion, and also to acquaint the few Salva
dorian residents in the Panama district of
the approach of the traveling Commissioner,
but Colter cannot be taken without a strug
gle. Both he and Secretary Flori are
armed to the tjetn and will resist any at
tack.
The Salvadorians are aware that they
would not only gain a large amount of
money by apprehending Cotter, but his cap
ture with a bag full of valuable documents
relating to the big loan would be a disas
trous blow to Guatemala. The Commis
sioner has in his possession letters of credit
on the International Bank of London and
other financial institutions representing
nearly $10,555,000. in addition to the 82,000,
000 in specie. The loss of th.it large sum
would injure Guatemala aud interfere with
her plans of action.

BITTKS BY A KaBID HUG.
Tbe Victim Treated in the Pniteur losti-

New London, July 27.— Mrs. Rosenstihl,
a resident of the river village of Hamburg,
ten miles west of this city, in Lyme, is the
latest hydrophobia patient in Connecticut
to go to New York for treatment by Dr.
Gibier nl the l'asteur Institute. The hy
drophobia scare continues iv this State,
and hail a dozen dogs, believed to be mad,
were shot this week in different country
districts, after they had ran through sever
al town*, frothing and snapping at every
one. Mrs. Ki).-enstihl was bitten by an
infuriated hog that had behaved queerly In
its pen. The woman went into the pen and
the vicious animal sprang at her and sev
ered two of her ringers. Then the hog sav
agely pursued her about the sty aud her
screams were heard bj the hired men, who
rescued her after she had been bitten again
on the leg. Then the. hog bit several pigs
in the pen, and, all together, the drove of
furious hogs then broke <io.vn the enclosure
and rushed Into the nuifthboring lots. They
bit several cows and ran amuck throug-i the
Hamburg district. The people rallied and
with guns and pistols, pitchforks and
clubs, hunted them down. Mrs. Kosen
stihl suffered greatly from her wounds, and
in n few days showed symptoms of hydro
phobia. Showeutto the Pastern- Institute
aud was successfully treated. Her case is
the first one of the kind tie. ted there in
which rabies was communicated by a mad
bog.
At Johnstown a few days ago a horse be
longing to I'aris H. Mathewson, which was
bitten not long ago by a mad dog, died in
frightful agony of hydrophobia. Tho
horse tore itself witli its teeth, aud furi
ously attacked peoplo and animals, so it
had to be bound with chaius and ropes.

SAMOAN AFFAIRS.
Much Dissatisfaction and Another
War Imminent.
Delay in the Appointment of Chief Jtutice
and a President of toe Municipal
Boaid Creates EmbirrassmrDt.
Apia (Samoa). July 15.— Great dissatis
faction was expressed here last week, both
by foreign residents and loyal natives, en
receipt of the news by steamer from New
Zealand that America, England and Ger
many had further delayed the appointment
of a Chief Justice and President of the
Municipal Board aud that the matter had
been referred to the King of Sweden.
The new Government of Samoa is little
further Advanced than it was two years
ago, notwithstanding the (act that the .Ber
lin Conference concluded its labors mure
than a year ago and formed a treaty which
Malietou and the chiefs of Samoa assented
to last February. The only step which has
been taken toward the new order of affairs
is the recent appointment of a Collector of
Customs by the three Consuls sitting as a
Consular Board, and even this appointment
does not give satisfaction, as it is gen
erally believed that though the Consuls
have power to make ilie appointment they
have no power to enforce the payment of
duties.
The German Trading Finn, the largest
commercial organization on the islands,
already pays its<!ut:es under protest. The
native chiels say that in deference to the
request of the Consuls they assented to the
treaty after a consideration of only twenty
four hours, thus breaking through all their
traditions of taking lime over such an im
portant event, and they complain bitterly
that no appointments have been made since
then Hud that nothing has apparently been
done toward the establishment of the new
Government
A government by a Consular Board is re
garded here as the most undesirable form
that could be devised. It has always re
sulted in a failure, and it is considered
strange that the American Government
should allow it to continue owing to the
very general belief here of the existence of
an English-German alliance in Saoioan
matters.
Owing to the present unsettled condition
of affairs in Samoa and the apparent slight
probability of any immediate action on the
part of the three powers, it is believed here
that trouble is imminent. Whether or not
this trouble will reach the proportions oi
another civil war, similar to the one which
was experienced two years ago, it is at pres
ent difficult to state, but the same indica
tions are given now that were manifested
before the late war. It is believed
that the trouble this time would
come from the Mataafa party, which
has been gaining in strength recent
ly, the failure of any action on
the part of the three powers hav
ing tended to shake the faith of
many of Malietoa's followers. Mataafa
Inn. self went to Say..ii. the largest island
of the group, a short time ago, and since
his return it has been learned that xt least
ono half the chiefs there are in his favor.
Malietoa's followers are, of course, stronger,
and in the event of another war, itis thought
they would be ultimately successful, but the
mere prospect of another conflict is dreaded
by all foreign residents. Tamiisese, who
was supported by the Germans two years
ago. Is apparently not encaged in any strife,
and he is said to be enlisting the sym
pathy, not only of the white population,
but also of the most intelligent portion of
Malietoa's party. Unsuccessful overtures
are believed to have been made to him by
Malaafa's followers.
King Malietoa and his chiefs regard the
situation as so serious that they have de
cided to request the three Consuls to ap
point an adviser to the King, and they
have selected William Blacklock, who was
the American Consular representative here
during the last war, as the adviser whom
they desire, it is their intention to bring
the matter before the Consular Board in a
few days.
The only man-of-war at Apia is the United
States steamer Mohican. A German ship
will probably be here .soon, but the infor
mation lias been received mat no English
war vessel need be expected f»r some time.
Trade on the islands is utterly stagnated.
The natives have c;. ten nearly all the cocoa
nuts and the c»nra crop, which is the chief
resource of the country, is likely to prove a
failure.

TnoMASViLi.E (Ga.), July 2G.-Mrs. F. M.
Van Dyke, wife of the ticket agent of the

one trying to get into the house. Sho se
cured her pistol and slipped out by a

that he was a burly negro, and covering
him with her pistol ordered him to hold up
his hands. Seeing the determined look in
the lady's face and the steadiness with which
she held the weapon pointed toward him he
obeyed.
Mrs. Van Dyke held him until an officer
could be sent for, who took him in charge
and lodged him .-sif'-lv iv jail.
Judge Hopkins, Mayor of the town, wrote

A YOUNG WIDOW'S APPEAL.
She Says Her Family I* Trylnr to Con

Mrs. Isadora Hit-nonstock, a wealthy
young Hebrew widow, has created a sensa
tion among fashionable Hebrews by appeal
ing through the newsuapers for protection
against her family, which, she asserts, is
trying to immure her in an insane asylum
In order to secure her money. She has left
her relatives and is now at the Hotel Beers,
St. Louis, where an attempt was made last
Thursday night to take her to an asylum.
Her brothers and other relatives say that
Mrs. Bienenstock Is insane, that her mania
tabes the form of running huge bills for mil
linery and spending money lavishly, she
also importunes young men to take her to
all places of amusement, and believes her
people are trying to assassinate her. Two
physicians have issued certificates of acute

M 1.W.1 I AND GOLD.
Views of an English Statistician on the
Effects of the Coinage Law.
.New York, Aug. 3.— A Tribune London
dispatch says: Kobert Griffen, perhaps the
first of living English statisticians, contrib
uted to the August Nineteenth Century an
elaborate paper on "The American Silver
Bubble." The title shows what view he has
taken. lie says there can be no inflation
all at once. The silver notes to be issued
will have exactly the same sort of uses as
the silver certificates now in circulation,
no more and no less. bo long as the quan
tity of notes made is strictly limited and
the Government receives them freely for
taxes aud dues, and pays them out only in
exchange for the equivalent in gold, they
will remain level with gold. That ihey
nominally represent silver is of no conse
quence whatever. They will be converti
ble into gold on demand, but such a cur
rency so handled cannot cause an inflation.
Prices will remain as before, at .1 gold level.
"There is danger," adds Gritfen, "that in
time it will Lot be possible 10 Handle this
currency." lie believes that the rise in
silver will be only temporary, 'and thinks
even the present rise to some extent nomi
nal and forming part of a geneial rise of
the price of gold incident to a period of
good credit. bo far as it is nominal, what
the owners of silver and silver mines gain
the rest of the world loses, lie looks for
ward in hny case to grave monetary
troubles arising out of the attempt to make
gold aud silver both a standard, a thing
.hat is Impossible, and warns the people ol
the United States that they are running a
most serious risk of tiuaucitti disaster.
WHITE CAPS.
The 0 ganiz-:ticn in New Mexico Called Upcn
to Bifbind by the Gcv rnor.
Df.xvkk, Aug. 3.— A special from Santa
Fe to the News says: The White Cap or
ganization uear Las Vccas, Mex., whose
outrages were recently called to the atten
tion of tho Secretary of the Interior, have
become so buld in their depredations that
Governor Prince has been compelled to is
sue a proclamation calling upon them to
disband, aud he declares that if they do not
do so he will order out the Territorial
inilitix, and, if necessary. Call upon the
United States troops. This baud of regu
lators style themselves Knights ol Labor,
and nave organized lodges throughout bun
Miguel County until they now have a mem
bership of 1300. They bare, without legal
cause, destroyed hundreds of miles of
fences, turned herds of cattle loose, burned
thousands of tons of hay and destroyed
other property, while several men who op
posed them have been seriously wounded
by siiuie unseen assassin or mysteriously
disappeared. Another unfortunate discov
ery for the county is that for years there
iias been a factional l^l.j in the I'op'iblicHii
party, and it is now alleged that the leader
of one faction is in sympathy with these
outlaws, and that the organization, unless
soon broken up, will be used as a political
machine.
A HnrriraD on Its Travels.
Sioux Falls (S. D.), Aug. 3.— A severe
hail-storm visited this vicinity this morn

810,000 or 515.000 damage in the city in the
way of broken windows and injury to trees
and shrubbery. The new Court House suf
fered the greatest damage, over out! hun
dred panes of glass being broken. In the
north and central portions of the city, hail
stones ranged up to the size of a man's list,
while in the southern portion they were not
larger than an inch in diameter. Kepnrts
from outside show the track of the storm to
have been about forty miles wide from
Beaver Creek to Salem. The damage to
small grain will he comparatively slight, as
most of it was in the shock, but the corn
was stripped of its leaves.

sides, with the sidvantag* on the side of the
Chicagoan. but iiit-r that he gradually
weakeued and \\u only kept to the scratch

tain possession of Lalley's crop. The other
victims are not yet out of danger.

KEMMLER'S CASE.
J Rice Point ol Law Raised, Bat It Does
Not Affect His Appetite.
Aublbn- tN T T.>, Aug. 3.— A. delicate poiu;
of law has been suggested here by gen
tlemen deep in legal lore. It is that
tin 1 weok beginning on August 4th
ends with Sunday. The warden tins arbi
trary power to defer the execution until Sun
day, August lUth. Sunday, it is held by
thn general law, would intervene
to prevent the killing, on the
L-r ■mil that the execution of judi
cial processes upon a Sunuay is not lczal.
Directly at this point the case
is touched by that general principal of law
thai if the sentence uniier which Kemniler
expt-cted to be killed is void in part
it must be wholly void, which, brought
to a close Application of the premises,
would warrant the assumption that if it is
illegal to kill Kemmler on the seventh day
of the week designated, then it would be
illegal to kill him on any other day of the
week desiunated. The situation, it Is l:eli),
would he different if .Sunday intervened as
part of the seven days, because it would
then run with the week and be a part of the
seven ilays constituting the week. As the
case stands the week in which the sen
tence is to be executed will not be
li'B.illy complete because the week ends
with a day void in law. Unless there is
Bonin general law which may bridge this
point which is raised, the entire sentence,
it is thought, will be null and void.
Kfamniler spent to-day quietly. He
seemed to h:ivo a good appetite, and ate
three full meals.
It is now pretty certain that the execu
tion will not take place on the first day of
the week in which Kenimler has been finally
sentenced to die. Undoubtedly this has been
his last Sabbath of life upon earth. Doubt
less no contradiction would be challenged
from Warden Durston by the state
ment that he does not to-night
himself know the hour of electriciziug,
111 tin- iian.f. 1 nil who will be chosen to
stmd by when Kemmler dies. This after
noon the wife of the warden left the prison
to be absent until the week after Kemni
ler's death, if it shall take place this week.
Warden Durston accompanied her out of
town, and is ab-cnt to-night
A dispatch to the World from Auburn,
timed 1:80 a. m., says: Two hack-loads of
men wrr.6 two minutes ago un
loaded at the prison gate. This looks
as though the execution must
take place before daylight. According to
private advices from Syracuse, however,
Warden Durston was at a hotel in that city
aftt-r midnight to-night, and tlio >ir-<t regu
lar train to leave for Auburn would be 6
o'clock in the morning.

friends had long envied her such an at

hint that they wanted her to do it up.
A week ago last Friday she received an
unsigned note asking her to stay at home
that night. She did to, but nobody called.
On Saturday morning their bell rang about
10 o'clock, and Mrs. Vehstedt thought it
might be tlm postman, so she went down
stairs to the vestibule to look for a letter.
The hall has several turns and is quite
dark. She saw nobody as she went down,
but just as she was about to reascend the
stairs a (inure sprang upon her from a re
cess and seized her long hair.
"Hi. ld your head dowu low," said a
woman's voice in a loud whisper, and Mrs.
Vehstedt was too startled to make any re

braid within a few inches ot the roots be

shrieked, and was fleetaa up stairs when
the woman threw the braid up after her.

tested Election.
Salient Points and Recommendations
the Congressional Committee.
Ballot-Box Stealing and Political Assassina
tion Vigorously Denounced— The River
and Harbor Bill.
Special Dlspat'.'h'-s to The Slorn-ixo Calu
Washington, Aug. 3.— Representative
Lacey of lowa has prepared for submission
to the House the majority report of the
Elections Committee upon the Clayton-
Breckinridge contested election case, and
the murder of the Hepublican contestant.
Commenting on Clayton's murder, the re
poit says: "Eewards were offered and the
community of Alunillt.-n passed appropriate
resolutions, but no earnest attempt to bring
the murderers to justice have been made by
the local authorities, and the efforts of the
Governor have been iv vain."
Next the report refers to the killing of
Smith, a negro detective who was investi
gating the ballot-box theft, and George
Bentley, brother of T. Bentley, who was
suspected of being one of the thieves.
George I3entley at the time was negotiating
with the P iukertons to give evidence aud
expose the guilty parties, when he was said
to have been accidentally shot by his
brother. The report says there is no direct
evidence 10 show any criminality in tho
killing of Bentley, but declares it unfortu
nate that these two killings occurred while
the men were about to give evidence 10 the
detectives.
The theory that Clayton's murder was
due to the enmity of one Hooper is taken
up, and the report says It clearly appears
that Hooper was not only in California
when the murder occurred, but was ill with
disease. "This theory," says the majority,
was naturally pleasing to tne contestee
(Breckinridge), though the friends of Col.
Clayton very naturally complained that
so important, a clew should have been con
cealed for ten months from them, and only
made known when the Congressional in
vestigation began." The report, continu
ing, says:
.No reasonable explanation of the murder ap
peai ft, except thai some of the ballot-box thieves,
toudiuir the taking of temimouy easing,
killed Clayton to suppress Hie Investigation. .No
oilier motive Is possible. 'J lie necessity of Hie
enactment of laws which will prevent ballot-box
stealing, and murder from confcnlng a inline
lac ie title to a mmi In Congress, is evident from
Hie i '•«ur. ol tins content. Had such laws been
Iv loicb us would iiave prevtnted the contestee
from taking his seal with men a I tile, no one
would alt. mm to confer sucli a title by stealing
ballot-box. hviueutly ballot box stealing whs
looked upon as a joke in that conuliy, until Hie
awl ul consequences that resulted him ailed the
good people ill i tie country. ■Ko doubt some of
these hieu would have been deieiiedlioin taking

THE FRUIT SUPPLY.
The Supply of California Products in
Eastern Market
Chicago, Aug. 3.—" The supply In fruit
is good, considering the various unfavor
able circumstances," said L. G. Kunze, the
fruiter. With fine pears, plums, prunes,
apples, peaches and grapes in abundance it
would be folly to talk of a fruit famine.
Still, things are not as they ought to be,
due to almost a total failure of the fruit
crop in near-by districts. What tides us
over the difficult}', though, is the California
supply, ll.e nicest pear in the market
just now is the mountain Bartlett from
California which retails at -'0 to 50 ccuts a
dozen. Nice Crawford peaches sell at 2u to
75 cents a dozen; besides the Foster and
straw berry peaches are also good. Fine
plums, mii h as Japan, are selling at SI 50
per box of five pounds. The finest egg
plums bring 90 cents a b. x and
peach yluuis tl- The largest de
mand and supply, however, sis iv
German prunes. The best ands weetest
we have ever had in Chicago are elling at
£l l'.'j pet live-pound box. Iv grapes we
haw the Concord from Georgia, selling at
$1 for n ten-pound basket, and California
sweetwater and Fotitainhleau *at 50 cents
per nve-i ound box. Of oranges we still
have the paper-riud aud| St. Michaels of
California, selling at 75 cents a dozen. Nec
tarines are poor aud scarce, and so are ap
ricots, but pineapples of .fair quality still
retail at 40 cents each. Generally speaking,
however, the fruit market is badly demoral
ized and in a very unsettled state. There
is very little home fruit, and what the.ro is
is not good, Even California iruil is not
what it usually is. Among the first-class
quulity we get rarely a perfect specimen
either of peach, p-ar, or plum. Often there
are worms Id the best of this fruit, and the
skin is rarely smiroth and without defects.
How quiet the market is, is shown from the
fact that 1 have been shipping fruit of all
kinds from here to Florida. Just think of
it— from Chicago to Florida."
Among wholesalers on South Water
street things look Jost as queer and unsatis
factory. "Fruit is almost exhausted," said
.1. 11. Hainrtt. "The cast week has been
one. for the blackberry, but the crop is very
short and another few days will wind it up.
Grapes are now coming iv from Illinois,
aud of good quality so far, ami are selling
at 50 cents a basket. Some Georgia grapes
are selling at the same price. New apples
are more plentiful aud are selling at $2 50
to S3 per barrel for greeu and S3 to S3 50
for red. California fruit this week has been
abundant and rather cheap.. Somedays the
arrivals in this fruit aggregated twenty
cars, whereas ten cars used to be a large
arrival iv other years. Fine Crawford
peaches sell at 50 cents to $1 25 per box,
plums at 75 cents to $1 SB, grapes iv half
crates at 75 ceuts to $1 28, Bartlett pears
bring 82 25 to 82 75 per forty-pound box."
New luuk, Aug.. 3. The Times
pays: Probably not more than six
or seven car-loads of peaches cause to
this market last week, 70 per cent of which
came from California, yet prices are
only a trifle higher than for the
same quality of fruit last season, and
California products actually sold for higher
prices last season at the corresponding
date than they did on Saturday last.
On Friuay and Saturday five or six
car-loads of California fruit were sold at
auction, all of which commanded good
prices except peaches, which sold at from
75 cents to SI 50 per box, which would not
be more than SI 50 to S3 per Jersey peach
basket. Eleven car-loads of California
fruit will be offered for sale iv the auction
rooms to-day, aud it is believed that the
prices will be as low as those of Saturday.

MORE SHOOTING.
Rockies* Pistol Firing in the
Foundry District.
James Corcoran, a Deputy Sheriff Exchanges
Sbots With Policemen— Three Arrests
"At.it for the Day.
James Corcoran was taken to the Receiv
ing Hospital last evening to be treated for
a pistol wound in the right shoulder and a
laceration of the right hand, also produced
by a pistol-bullet.
Corcoran is a single man, aged 35, who
lives at. 236 Fourtli street, and though an
iron-uiolder by occupation and a member of
the union, is at present a deputy under
Sheriff Laumeister. An examiuation ol
his injuries showed that the wound in the
shoulder was the only serious one, the in
jury to the right haud being merely super
ficial.
The Police Surgeon's probe proved that
tho bullet had passed clean through the
shoulder, touching no vital point, however,
aud producing a wound that, white painful,
will not prove filial. The bullet entered iv
front and uiudu its exit just over the shoul
der blade.
THREE CHANGES ENTEKED.
When the Police Surgeon had completed
his work Corcoran was taken downstairs
to the City Prison, where three charges of
assault to murder were placed against him,
two by Police Officers Carr and AlcGrayn
and one by Special Officer Dawes, and one
by the same officers with N. C. Brown as
the witness, he being a non-union molder
employed in the National Foundry, on the
corner of Howard and Beale streets,- said of
which Marschutz Cantrell are tLo pro
prietors.
A general outline of the facts in connec
tion with Corcorau's injuries aud tbe
charges placed ag.iiust hint are as follu <yj:
A lew moments after 0 o'clock last evening
Corcoran came down Howard street, and,
in passing the foundry, looked up at the
windows on the second floor, at which a
number of non-union molders employed
in the foundry were standing.
Words were exchanged between Corcoran
and the men inside. Then Corcoran.f roin his
position on the opposite side of the street,
drew a pistol and tired at the men standing
at the foundry windows. He then went
down Alain street towards Mission, and on
the corner of Main and Howard streets
lired again at the foundry.
COJICOIJAN PUJiSUED.
Special Officer D.iwes, who is engaged to
watch the foundry, was standing in the
door of the foundry when the fii-! shot
was nred, and with Officers Carr and Keilly,
two of the extra detail of regular officers
sent down daily to preserve order in the
foundry district, started alter Corcoran,
who, as soon as he saw them coming, ran
up Main street.
The lugilive was ordered repeatedly to
halt, wliii-h orders he disregarded, and only
accelerated his speed. A general exchauge
of shuts took place between them. Corco
ran went up. Main to Mission and along
Mission. Half way up the block be turned
around and tired Hgain. Suddenly he stag
gered and, it is supposed, he then was
struck in the shoulder by a bullet from Of
ficer Carr's pistol.
He Kept on, however, and near Spear
street lie was intercepted by Officer Mc-
Grayn, who was attracted by the shooting.
As Corcoran and the officer came together,
Curcorau brought his pistol right up against
the officer's breast, aud the officer' did the
same with his to Corcoran.
THE IVEAPOXS MISSED FIRE.
Both pulled the triggers at the same mo
ment, but most singularly, both the pistols
uiist-ed fire and neither was injured. Cor
coran dived around the officer and was
dashing off again, v. hen bis pursuers, who
had gained uu him by his encounter with
Officer McOrayn, were almost up- to him.
Corcoran sped up ijpear to Howard and ran
up Howard to i'.eale, where he was caught
by Officer Keilly, who threw his arms
around him from behind and pinioned him.
Even then he resisted ami again dis
charged Ills pistol. A rap from one of the
officers' clubs finally quieted him. Quite a
crowd gathered and oiie man drew a pistol,
and before Officer Bell); caught Corcoran,
fired at the i Uicer. The officer returned
the lire and the man who had attacked him
run away.
Corcoran was promptly handcuffed and
hi-rried off to the new City Hall. When
searched at the Central Station, a new
Colt's revolver, 32 caliber, with four of the
six chambers discharged, the remaining
two being loaded, was identified by the ar
resting officers as having been taken from
Corcoran when first pla ci under arrest.
One of the two remaining cartridges was
found to bear a hammer mark on the rim,
and was no doubt the one that failed to ex
plude when he attempted to snoot Officer
Alt-Gray
A SPECIAL'S ACCOUNT.
Special Officer Dawes states that Corco
ran came down Howard street aud com
menced abusing the men inside the foun
dry as soon as ho caught sight of them, call
ing them all manner of vile names. He
was, in I iiiwt'V opinion, greatly under the
influence of liquor.
Corcorau, almost coincident with his call
ing the men iv the foundry names, pulled
liis pistol aud tired at them. He then ran
to the corner of Alain and Howard and fired
again. Then he started off and ran us fast
as he could down Main street. Shots were
exchanged all the way to Mission and to
Spear, where Officer McGrayu met Corcoran.
After eluding McUrayu, Corcoran cped
p Spear street to Howard to Btale, where
he was finally captured. Dawes also states
that just at tho time that Corcoran first
started to run, a number of men on the
corner of Main and Howard streets,
who, he says, were union pickets, and
among whom one, Charles Culberr, was es
pecially prominent, urged him by name to
run and uot let himself be caught.
Also that several of them joined In the
chase aud kept encouraging the fugitive.
He also states that just as Officer lieilly
came up to Corcoran that a tall, heavy set
man came up to the twu men with a pistol
in his hand and shot at the officer, who re
turned tlie fire.
UCLLET-PROOF HORAN.
In tliis couQi'ctiun it, must be stated tint
a ti-w minutes alter Corcoran had been ex
amined at the Kereivinß Hospital Johu I
ran, who stated that he is a marine fireman,
residing at 120 Foisom street, and lust em
ployed on the steamer Zealandia, came to
the hospital aud stated that lie bad also
been shut in thu shoulder.
A large bullet hole in his coat was to
some extent corroborative proof, but when
iie took off his clothing it was ascertained
that the bullet had been deflected by the
thick folds uf his vest and under clothing,
and that the bullet |had stopped, caught
in the last thickness of material that it
bad to traverse to reach bis body. As lie
took off his undershirt the bullet dropped
out of it
llcian said that he had no pistol, nor had
he made any attempt to take Corroran's
part. On the contrary his purpose was to
stop Corcorau wlion he saw the police offi
cers chasing Mm aud shouting out "Stop
him." lie went up to Corcoran on the cor
ner of Howard and Heale streets for that
purpose, when one of the officers fired point
blauk at him.
HORAN ALSO ARRESTED.
After John Iloran had h,id an interview
with Chief Crowley and said that he bore
no Hard feeling against the officer who
shot him, he left the City Hall and pro
ceeded to the South Harbor Police Station,
where he gave Charles Culluni, the officer
in charge, a full account ot how he came to
be wounded.
After leaving the station he walked up
Folsoui street, and was met by Oflkera
Keilly and Bean, who promptly arrested
him, and, taking him back to the South
Harbor Station, placed charges of assault
with a deadly weapon and attempting to
rescue a prisoner against his name.
Uuran seemed Kremly surprisod at being
arrested, and then explained that he was
sitting in Monaghan's saloon at 129Folsoiu
street, reading the paper, when he heard a
shot fired, and running out saw Corcoran
with a pistol in his hand struggling with
an officer, who was shouting for help. He
says he caught hold of Corcoran, intend
ing to disarm him and help the officer place
him under arrest, when the officer shoi him.
Officer Keiily. mi the contrary, state* thai
when be was grappling with Corcoran and
trying to place him under arrest, Horau
advanced with a pistol in bis band, which
he leveled at them, and took hold of Cor
coran aud tried to rescue the prisoner.
Keilly then held Corcoran with one hand
and reaching around hit body shot Uoran,
who then left.
WHAT CORCORAN BATS.
Corcoran, when interviewed, was visibly
under the influence of liquor, not exactly
PRICE FIVE CENTS.
intoxicated, but still much excited. H«
gave the following account of the affair:
"While passing along Howard Rtreet to
night, 1 saw some men at the National
Foundry windows, who, when they saw me,
immediately called me hard names and one
of them fired a pistol at me. I fired back,
and tiien started to run. As soon as t
started, a lot of men commenced running
after me and shooting at me. f shot buck
at them and kept running, but they caught
me a block or so from the foundry. That's
all 1 know about the matter."
BRQWJi'S STATEMENT.
N. C. Brown, one of t!ie non-union men
employed at the foundry, who was at ths
window when Corcornn passed, stated tn.it
the latter without any provocation immedi
ately called them very vile name*, de
nounced them B3 scabs and simultaneously
drew Ins pistol aud shot at them twice.
No shot was tired at Corcoran from tha
foundry by tbe men inside, neither was a
pistol drawn on him or exhibited in any
way.
ANOTHER AHKEST MADE.

More pistol practice was indulged about
9 o'clock in Iront of the Miners' Foun

The discharge of a pistol had called tha
attention of the officers in that direction
shortly before, and of course they were on
the alert for anything of a suspicious char
acter. Thus it was that ou the opposite
side of the street from the foundry tbo Ser
geant espied two men, and moving around
the corner so as to come as near them un
noticed as possible, lie heard one of them
say, "Try it ou 'em again."
The officer concluded at once that some
thing mischievous was up, so he made a rush
at the two and Calient one of them. XJuiekly
as pussible the man poked his right haud
into his front pantaloon pocket, and.witli
like alertness the officer poked his hand into
the same pocket. Then lie found that tha
fellow Had a huge pistol in his hand, aud was
trying to conceal it, but the officer jerked
it out aud took possession of it.
FLATTENED BULLETS FOUND.
Arresting the man, he was taken immedi
ately to the Folsom-street Police Station.
The Sergeant did not see this man d» any
shooting, and has no proof that he di.i, but
he was informed by others at the Miners
that some oue had shot at the men through,
the window. A little investigation proved
that this was true, for a window or two
'had been shattered, and on the floor in
side were found three or four battered and
liiittrued-out bullets.
In the wiudow-casing next to the brick
was also found a place where a bullet bad.
imbedded itself deeply in the wood. So
much shooting in that locality had caused
the Police Department to station several
extra officers on duty in that action, m that
all night ling it was impossible to go a block
without enconntenut i«u vi inie<.-.

The Remains Will Burled 10-Morro*
by the Molders.
The cblef topic of conversation among
the striking iron-molders yesterday Was ilia
killing of Henry A. Siebert by Waltor Ride
out in the Powell-street car on Saturday
night. Several of them, as well as other
friends of Siebert, visited the Morgue in
order to view the corpse, aud, in speaking
of tlie matter. President Valentine sai l:
"Siebert was not one of tiie pickets on
duty at the City Iron Works, and I thinlc
he was just Kolng over to North Bea.l;
when he saw Hideout get in the car. Sie
bert mv talkative, and believed in arguing
in relation to strike troubles. He probably
intended to talk with Riaeuut, but trie exact
circumstances of the 9hooting I only know
Irom what I read, though Siebert's last
words ere he died were breathed in my ear,
and he snid he had done nothing to deserva
being shot for.
INQUEST OF A KED-IIAIKED MAN.
"The reports say there was a red-Headed
man with Siebert, and he stood on the car
platform mid r.m away when the shot wai
liri'il. I'd like to know who that man was,
us he would be a good witness for us; b<ic
I cannot identity him as any one belong
ing to the union. I would like to fcnov? by
what right the police allow -the-.- men to.
carry pistols to tire off in the street with a
reckless disregard for the lives of people
who may be inthe vicinity.
Why, the police do not even know tlie
men they give the weapons to, and as I un
derstand it the men have received instruc
tions to use their guns at every opportunity
in order to intimidate our pickets, ami
events show that the men are following out
their instructions."
Dr. Estes made an autopsy on the body
of biebert yesterday afternoon. It showed
that the fatal bullet struck him in the left
breast below the nipple, passed through
the wall of the apex of the heart and then
through the stomach, liver and kiduoya.
The range was downward, as Siebert must
have been in a stooping position when shot.
The bullet lodged In the muscles of tha
back near the base of the spine.
REMOVAL OF. THE REMAIN'S.
The body was then taken to Mallady's an-,
dertakiug establishment, and afterward to
the home of Sieberl's mother, 4 Sheridan
