RUNS INTO A CONSTABLE.
Justice A. A. O'Hallaron's First
Peace Warrant ("anse I urn-
motion in Market Siveet
Establishment.
Justice A A O'Hallaron issued hi- first
peac- warrant cterday, and It resulted
in a chase over a house top by Deputy
Constable Churle.- Potee after C F. El
rick of No. 3112 Market strret, against
whom the warrant was Issued.
FIrick escaped by sliding down a water
pipe from the second story. It Is stated,
but was captured by Constable John J.
McGlWcuddy when he reached the ground.
Elrick and Theodjre H. Williamson keep
a saloon, restaurant and roomlnc-house at
tho Market street number. They disagreed,
and Williamson swore out a peace war
rant against Elrick, who. he charged,
threatened his life the day before.
Constable McGllllcuddy and Deputy Po
tee started to .serve the warrant, reach
ing the Market street place about 1
o'cock.
They were informed that Elrick was on
the second floor. He attends to the room
ing dipartment and Williamson to the sa
loon and restaurant.
McGllllcuddy remained downstairs while
Potee went up to serve the paper. Potea
found Elrlcic In the office on the second
floor.
Elrick ran to a ladder which led to a
skylight, and, hastily ascending the lad
der, passed through the skylight onto the
roof, which Is flat.
Potee followed, and when he got onto
the roof drew his revolver and command
ed Elrick to stop.
Elrick. Potee states, paid no attention,
but disappeared over the rear edge of the
roof. Potee got to the point where El
rick left the roof in time to see him reach
the yard and be taken into custody by
McGIUI cuddy.
RAN INTO CONSTABLE.
The latter had heard the commotion up
stairs and ran into the yard, anticipating
that an attempt at escape was being
made, and was Just in time to Intercept
Elrick.
McGllllcuddy asked Elrick what he
meant by trying to get away. Elrick said
he was so frightened that he did not know
what he wits doing.
McGllllcuddy explained to him the na
ture of the warrant and told him there
was no need for alarm, and that all the
Inconvenience he would be subjected to
for the time being was the giving of bond.
Elrick accompanied the orScers to Judge
O'Hallaron's court and gave a. $250 bond
to appear Stay 24 and show cause why he
should not be bound over to keep the
peace. Albert Andrls of. No. 2007 Market
street, a grocer. Is surety on the bond.
YATES LEADS FOR
FIFTEEN BALLOTS;
DELEGATES IN RIOT.
Continued Prom Parte One.
Lowden and Yates, and with this condi
tion tho nomination Is the more probable,
for the reason that many close counties
might lose their county tickets if a vigor
ous fight Is put up against the re-election
of Governor Yates. This would bo cer
tain, for the Democrats would nominate
Samuel Alschuler by acclamation, and
make a campaign for blood.
The convention was In pandemonium
from start to finish. There s.re 10.0M in
sane patient!? in Illinois hospitals, and if
they had been locked In the Armory and
turned loose to do as they pleased, their
antics and riotous demonstrations would
not hava equaled the Republican State
Convention.
niOT IS COTfVEXTIOX
.NEARLY OALfeE A TRtGEDT.
Two Incidents came near bringing on riot.
One narrowly escaped being a tragedy,
and the wife of Governor Yates might
have been a victim, as she was In the cen
ter of the storm. It occurred during one
of the worst scenes of confusion and tur
moil of the day.
A Chicago negro liad started from the
Chicago section with a large crayon por
trait of Colonel Lowden attached to a
long pole. He marched through swarmlns
and yelling delegates, down the west wins
and In front of the speaker's stand. As he
reached the east end of the stand a po
liceman grasped him by the arms and at
tempted to tear the banner from his
hands.
The negro, who Is said to be June Tows
Icy, of the First Ward, Chicago, resisted,
whereupon the officer placed him under
arrest, and another policeman coming to
his assistance, they were about to get the
best of the negro when the later pushed
them from him and dropping his banner
Jabbed one of them with his left hand
and the other with his right, knocking
them against the rope which divided the
delegates from preferred visitors.
In an instant his arm reached for his
hip pocket, and he liad a 3S-callber auto,
matlc Colt's magazine revolver nearly
out when he was grasped In a vice from
behind by Colonel Marshall of Chicago,
commander of the negro regiment of the
State, and Captain Chiperfifld. candidate
for Attorney General.
3IKS. YATES AAIUIOWLV
ESCAl'KS SKRIOLS INJLltY.
Mrs. Yates was sitting with an arm en
the rope a the time, and one of the po
licemen fell upon her. Meantime the
officers received re-enforcements, nnd
drawing their clubs, asserted their right
to the negro, but an excited throng of del
egates surrounded them. and. would not
permit him to be taken away.
Had not Marshall, who knew the negro
well as a desperate character, been near
at hand, and acted instantly, the gun
would have done terrible execution before
Towsley could have been stopped. -As It
was it required the combined strength of
Marshall and Chlpperfield, with two other
men, to prevent the negro gutting at the
policemen, even after his revolver had
been confiscated.
Mrs. Yates was directly behind the of
ficer who first attempted to .arrest Tov.s
Iey. She did not move during the melee,
and was perfectly cool and collected
throughout the entire Incident. Doctor
Egan. secretary of the State Board of
Health, was leaning over th rope talking
to her at the time and he was knocked to
the floor. Mrsj Yates never lft the con
vention from Its start to the finish.
The gravity of the Incident brought the
riotous convention to a semblance of or
der, and Chairman Cannon bad little dif
ficulty In bringing toe mob to a point
where those in his immediate vicinity
could hear his voice.
The other Incident occurred late In the
SB"fSH.

RICHARD YATES,
afternoon during one of the many at
tempts to stampede the convention to
Governor Yates. George Huntoon of Jack
sonville, with a lithograph of the Gov
ernor, mounted the reporters Htand. and.
standing on a desk, waved the lithograph
wildly' In the air, t-houtinc with all his
might at the same time. The Yates dele
gates, who had been yelling and dancing
for ten minutes, had about subsided when
Huntoon'n action started them agata.
Chairman Cannon ordered the police to
remove him, nd an officer attempted to
do it by pulling his legs from under him.
A crowd of Yates delegates immediately
sprang for the stand to assist Huntoon,
and a lady stenographer. Miss Daisy Mul
Hns. whose desk was used by Huntoon
was caught In the crush. She pushed
Huntoon off the platform with all hr
might, and ho was saved from tumbling
to the floor by friends.
Miss MuIIins was wildly applauded by
the delegates Prominent delegates rushed
to the front and forced the belligerent
ones to take their seats. Including Hun
toon. who had been very active as n scout
for th Yates side.
YATES DELEGATE"! ALWAYS
TCOK TUB I.MTIATIVE.
The convention was In a cotlnuous riot.
The Governor's friends were the sg
gresors In every Instance. They showed
a desire to force the fight and assumed
tho Initiative in every Instance. But thy
were closelv followed bv Hamlin's ard
Deneen's and Warner's partisans. Low
den's were somewhat backward, and
Sherman's did not make a showing. I.ow
den's forces were handicapped, being
placed In the rear of the hall and on one
wing. Deneen's were nearly as bsdly
placed, while the Governor's soldiers occu
pied the choice position, situated In front
of the platform where their demonstra
tions were most r ffccllve.
The longest period of confusion was
about 8 o'clock, while the secretaries were
adding tha twelfth ballot. Cralman Can
non made no effort to stop It. He wanted
to take a recess and was disgusted, and
said he proposed to give the shouters an
opportunity to work off all their steam.
After nearly half an hour, and at a time
when the yelling and band playing was
abcut to subside, the Yates Adams Coun
ty delegation pulled a bundle of flags from
a box and they received a tremendous
ovation.
The play Is the peculiar perquisite of
Governor Yates. He loves it better than
anybody on earth, and he works It harder.
Tho five hands started up different tune,
while several thousand boys split the air
with piercing whistles. A doxen or so
delegates from Southern Illinois produced
cow bells, which they rang with all their
might. Men perched on the shoulders of
partisans of the candidates paraded up
and down the aisles with banners. The
Deneen delegates presented a live rooster,
which squatted on a board from the top
of a long pole, was carried around the hall
and through the aisles. The rooster did
not appear to be happy.
The Cook County section began throw
ing paper balls and wads. and every man
who appeared on his feet In their neigh
borhood was bombarded as long as he
could be reached. This was the condition
of the convention hall when the negro
started around with the Lowden banner
which so nearly resulted in a tragedy.
Cannon announced that there would be
no such scenes to-morrow, for nobody
would be allowed on the floor of the con
vention but delegates and alternates. Vis
itors would be confined strictly to the
galleries.
coxrasnors temporary

SCALPERS ATTACK AGENT.
Employe of Union Station Vali
dating Office Severely Beaten.
As a result of the efforts of the Joint
Validating Agency, established by St.
Louis lines to validate World's Fair rail
road tickets and prevent the sale of these
tickets by scalpers, George C Dale, an
employe of the validating office at Union
Station, was set upon yesterday by ticket
brokers and their employes and severely
beaten.
To prevent persons buying tickets from
scalpers from bring put off the trains at
points on the railroads. In many cases
without money, the employes of the vali
dating office watch the places of the ticket
brokers and whenever a customer leaves
have his ticket examined at the train
gate.
Every opportunity Is afforded the pur
chaser to prove himself as the original
purchaser of this ticket, but if he cannot
he Is given a receipt for it and to'.d to re
turn to the place he bought It and get his
money back.
As the patron of the scalper can force
the broker to return his money, this ac
tion of the validating agency has not en
dcarad It to the brokers. Especially Is
this true since within the last two weeks
the validating agency has taken up more
than sixty Exposition tickets and the
scalpers have thereby been rompiilled to
return th money paid for them.
While Mr. Dale was standing In front of
the Terminal Hotel Inst evening he was
attacked by several of the ticket broke s,
who arranged that their employes should
so ring Dale about that It was with dif
ficulty he was able to escape. When he
finally succeeded In getting Into the sta
tion he was severely bruised, but his as
sailants had diparted when he returned.
