But they do it in Pittsburgh, some times because the applicant is of bad character, some tiiues because his place has a bad name, wme times because too many are applying in the same neighborhood. In Wheeling there is absolutely no reason for declining to grant license. There is ivason enough in law, but none in practice.

Mr. Camden knows as well ns any I man in the Slate that the tariff policy I advocated by the President does not rest well (in the West Virginia stomach, and when ho openly says so he displays wore frankness than is usually shown in public by gentlemen of his party in this State. Thousands of West Virginia Democrats think as he does, but they are more backward iu coming forward to express themselves. It will not do for Kepublicans to be lulled to rest by these encouraging assurances. The State may be won, but the battle is yet to be fought. There are Democrats who still refuse to believe that the Democratic party is committed tody and breeches to free trade.

DESfMJTRM Now Resorting to Violence to Carry Their Point. ATTEMPTS TO WRECK TRAINS. Assault on Ilccrults?Riotingut Creston?Latest from the Seat of Vur-Chaunccy Depew on the Situation. Chicaoo, April 2.?A west-bound Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul passenger train was derailed between Western ana Oakley avenues shortly before midnight. The wreck is believed to have been caused by strikers. The track watchman says he saw a man run away from the switch just as the train was approaching. The train was running slowly and only the engine left the rails. The watchman had signailed the engineer to stop, fearing there wus something wrong with the switch, I and the engineer succeeded in throwing his engine over before it left the rails. Fortunately no one was injured. About tho tracks it was re^rted that I a number of strikers had made tlireats I to stone the engineer if he dared to take a train out. A reinforcement of police from the West Madison street station was sent to the scene of the wreck. The police also report finding a bio ken rail at Kinzie and Kobey streets. LAROllEItM MOliUKD. Last evening a special policeman, while patrolling his l>eat at the Wood street crossing of the Burlington tracks, was assaulted by three men, who, ho says, were strikers. His club and revolver were taken from him and he was severely beaten. He was taken to his home in a serious condition. . A Bohemian laborer while crossing the Burlington tracks at Union street was assaulted with a coupling pin by a man said to be an Alton employe. The man dropped to the ground, when his assailant was joined by a half dozen others, who jumped upon the prostrated victim, injuring him severely. lie was taken to the hospital, where no lies in a serious condition. KOUOHLY HANDLED. Charles Green, who arrived in Chicago yesterday with twenty-four new switchmen for the Burlington, tells a graphic story of the perils he encountered on the way. Mr. Green left Dayton, 0., about 7 o'clock Saturday night, with a contingent of more than forty switchmen. The switchmen had to change cars at Lima, and whilo so doing were set upon bodily by the emissaries of the strikers. A"cording to Mr. Green, several of the men were detained by physical force and only escaped after a rough handling. The conductor pulled out four minutes ahead of time through fear of further violence, and Mr. Green found that he had on'y twenty-four men left. The contingent showed uj> in Chicago in pretty bad shape, some of the men having their eves blackened and Mr. Green's knuckles showing the afreet of hard usage. The men were sent on to Nebraska yesterday afternoon. RIOTING AT CRK8TON*. A dispatch received at noon from Creston, Iowa, says: "We arc having serious trouble here. At least eight or ten of our new men have been assaulted on the street, and pretty badly pounded up. Last night a mob of one hundred made an attack on the guards at one of the gates leading into the round-house yard and drove them off. About seventy-live Heading men came out of the bunk house, attacked the inob and drove them away from the company's premises. "We have now a force of 100 good men to ropel any attack that may be mode. If there is any further trouble to-dnv it will be no boy's play. The majority of the citizens are not in favor of the strikers. A meeting of the City Council will be held this afternoon. Unless protection is assured for the new men on the streets and at their houses it is probable that the Burlington shops will bo closed ana an nccessury work dore at West Burlington until law and order is restored." TUB AFTERNOON'S DEVELOPMENTS. This afternoon an attempt was made to get a train of twenty freight cars from the Q road to the Chicago <& Alton. As the train paned the viaduct at Sixteenth street the engineers of other roads refused to allow the train to go by. They stopped its progress by crossing and recrossing the tracks which intersect the road at this point. These tactics were kept up for two hours and tho"Q" train was finally taken back to the Western avenue yards. After this an Illinois Central train was brought to Sixteenth street, drawn by a "Q." engine. When the viaduct was reached a number of stones were hurled at the locomotive. The assault was answered by a shot from a man standing in the cab. The assaulting parties withdrew and the train proceeded ou its way. The Rock Island managers declined once more to-day to risk a tie-up of their roads bv attempting to receive freight from their competitor, the Burlington. It was in vain that the officials anu lawyers of the latter road telegraphed and dispatched a messenger to the llock Island this morning. A verbal reply was finally returned that the Hock Island refused to take any cars from the Burlington. l'lnkerton M?n U? llouto. Pittsburg, Pa., April 2.?C'apt. Linden, superintendent of Pinkerton's Km torn Aircncy, and a party of fifty de tectives were in the city this morning on their way to Chicago. The men are members of the famous conl and iron police of Pennsylvania, and served in the coal and coke regions during the recent strikes. To Take the 1'Ince of Strikers. Buffalo, N. Y., April 2.?Fifty engineers and firemen passed through Buffalo this morning en route to Chicago to take the engines of the men engaged in the strikes. Their arrival hero crcuted great talk among railroad men. ClIAl'XCEY DKl'KU" UN THE CTKIKE. . The Effect It Would Have If Kiutern Roa<1n ltecome Involved. Nbw York, April 2.?The Herald this morning prints tho following: The Burlington & Quincy railroad strike, with its far reaching ramifications is assuming such gigantic proportions that its effect is likely to bo felt far and wide. Other roads are, through some cause or other, becoming entangled in this great struggle; one city is threatened with starvation and it is not impossible, judg? ing from the news which conies from the West, that tho strike may be extended to the Eastern roads, although there aro not at present so far as known to i tho outside world, any existing circum1 stances which would justify even an i eventuality. As it enters tho realm . possibilities, however, and as the effect I if such a thing should come to pass, th?

The President of tlie New York Central A Hudson River road was somewhat reluctant to speak on the subject, owing to the position he oecu- n pies, as, he saiu, his lunguage might have some eflect he had not intended to produce. Y "Do you think, Mr. Depew, that the rnilrnnH ntrikii will extend to the eastern roads, as is rumored ?" "I soo no reason why it should. There arc no circumstances existing, so far as I am aware, that would seem to warrant such a step." St "There are rumors that tho strike will become general. Have yon any infor- e, raation which would tend to confirm or .' deny such a report?" . "Well. no. I have not been in Chi- te cflgo and haven't seen any railroad men ti since Thursday. On-that day there were some here and they told mo they could not understand this strike, especially u since its recent developments."! ? 11 "If it should becqmfe general or extend p, to tho eastern roads what, in your opin- T ion, would be the effect?" "It woulffdepend on its extent, char- 01 actor and causes. There are no two at strikes ulike, still some of 1tor~cflectB at would be this: Coal and food would give out. Everybody would be out of em- 1 ployment and the working class would ? be the greatest sufferers. Chicago could to be starved to death in that way, for it m would be entirely shut off from tue out- lo side world." Sj [ 4 What course would the Eastern a roads be likely to pursue in such an ta eventuality?" w | "That is hard to tell until tho nature Ti of the strike became known." v? "Is there any liklihood of trouble on fo the Eastern roads?" til "None. I have heard of no complaint on any of tho roads." in "It is reported that the Chicago rail- d? road men have decided to order a strike dti on the Lake Shore, Chicago & Alton, es Pan Handle. Ft. Way no and Santa Co's. Wouldn't that interfere seriously with Eastern connections?" "There would still remain sevoral of roads open, and it wouldn't embarrass ^ Eastern railroads to any extent." "Mr. Dopew, how do you regard strikes 1 generally?^' JJJ ii * ? ? _? ?r i.:?~ an AO u vury uuui ?uy ut kuhiiul: 1ls ults." , "Do you fuvorarbitration?" ?u "I do?that ia unless the strikers want [u to pet the entire management of the JJ* road.

A Young Lady School Tenchor Brutally Murdered 1?y Trniup*. UC Rekova, Pa., April 2.?Information nc lins readied this point of a brutal murder committed four or five miles south of Curweusville, in Clearfield county. T!l Miss Lizzie Eastman, a young lauy teaching school in one of the farming districts, was found dead in tho school- th house last Tuesday evening. Her un tongue had been cut from its roots and was found beside her dead body. The P? school had been dismissed as usual at "J 4 o'clock and the pupils left their teacher 00 alone in the school-house. In the right 08 hand of the dead woman was found a . lead pencil and on the floor near her J" dead body was written in her handwrit- 10 ing tho "revolting particulars of her t>r death. ,t4 Two tramps had entered the school J1.0 house. They overpowered and assaulted 111 her, afterwards severing her tongue with re a knife and then fled, leaving her for J18 dead. She recovered sufficiently to ^ write on the school house floor and had w succeeded in giving the above particu- IU lars, with description of her assailants, f? * t- ' ?<.< !. .Un mnn. ki WUL'Il SI1U grew IUU nvun tu nijiv uiuii.-) and died before she wasiound. c[? Miss Eastman was a remarkably beau- f? tiful girl, but of a most fearless aisposi- 111 tion. She bad often been warned . against tarrying too long after school, as , tramps were not infrequent in the neigli- tl1 | borhood. She always laughed at such PJ remarks and asserted that she was not le' afraid of being molested. The descrip- J" tion left by tfie girl is sufficiently com- tlJ plete, so that the men can probably be P.1 ldcntiUed if found. Such is the state of 81< excitement that If they were found they Pr would be hung without parley. A young m man who was engaged to the unfortunate girl is almost crazy, and swears he will c.a not rest until he lias found the fiends llt and shun them both. J?

The Mills hill is to bo debated in a onth, beginning two weeks from toiv. It is generally thought that the ibate will swallow all other legislation Lcept the appropriation bill. The Hill Amendud. Washington, April 2.?At a mooting the Committee on Ways and Means is morning, the committee formally issed upon the Mills bill, with three nendments, which were offered id adopted with the usual party vote. The first amendment related to the gar schedule, and is very slight. It is tended to wipe out the difference be'eeji the thirteenth and sixteenth indard of low tests, and make the reictiou affected by the bill more nearly per cent. It also strikes out the proso "That no drawback of duty shall be lowed or paid on any sugar exported )m the United States. The next amendment inserts after the :>ol and woolen schedule the following: Provided, that from and after the passe of this act, and until the first day of :tober, 1888, the Secretary of the Treasy be, and ho is hereby authorized and rected to classify as "woolen cloth all iporteof worsted cloth, whether known ulnr tliH nntnn nf worsted cloth, or tin ir the names of 'worsteds' or 'dingolis,' or otherwise. THE MINORITY REPORT. # ie It?pul>llcan Side Premjnted?A Strike from tlio Shoulder. Washington, April 2.?The report of e minority of the Committee on Ways d Means on the tari/l' bill was prered by Mr. McKinley, and is signed all the Itenublicau memliers of the mmittee. The opening paragraphs are follows: The extraordinary maimer in which is bill eatne to the committee and the tal lack of consideration given to so aye a measure by thoso charged with i investigation, demand notice and mmeut. It was fashioned outside of e committee and reached it not by the fereneo of the House, which is the lual channel through which commit* 08 obtain jurisdiction of a subject. It is presented ready-made by the chairan of the committee; was framed, mpleted and printed without the lowledge of the minority and without nsideration or discussion in the full mmittee. If any consultation were >ld tho minority were excluded. The Representatives on the floor of e House were not permitted to voice e wanta of their constituents. I'roising a grave measure which would afL*t all of the people in their omployentfl, their labor, and their incomes, e majority persistently refused the onle the rnrht of hearimr and discus )n; denied them them the simple ivilege of presenting reasons and arguDiits against their proposed action. But as the bill, as avowed, is a politi1 one, believed to present so far as it >es the views of the President anil his irty associates, a bill which, with the resident's free trade message, is to conitutc the issue, and be the platform of e nartv, it may account for, but will )t justify this extraordinary coqrso of ocedure. The bill is a radical reversal of tho ritr policy of the country. If enacted to a law it will disturb every branch business, retard manufacturing and ricultural prosperity, andseriously imlir our industrial indei>endence. It ulertakes to revise our entire revenue stem; substantially all of the tariil hedules are affectea: both classification id rates are changed. Si^wlc duties e in many cases changed to ad valorem, hich all experience has shown is proictivo of frauds and undervaluations, does not correct the irregularities of ie present tarilF; it only aggravates icm. It introduces uncertainties in inrpretation, which will embarrass its luiinistration, promote contention and ligation, and give to the customs ofli>rs a latitude of construction which ill produce endless controversy and collision. It is marked with a sectionalism hich every patriotic citizen must delore. the i hon and steel interests. If the majority desire to insure the anding of our steel rail market to our inclisli rivals, the proposed dutv ftf ?11 ill accomplish this purpose unless the orkingmen who are employed in roducing the rail materials are willig to accept still lower wages :iau they are now receiving and the iilroad companies which transport the iw materials are willing to greatly reueo their freight rates.

Washington, D. 0., April 2.?In the Bcnato to-day, the House having sent over an original bill to give a pension of $2,000 to tlio widow of Gen. John A. Logan (instead of passing the Senate hill in precisely the same terms), the House bill was, on motion of Mr, Davis, passed ?Mr. Berry saying that ho would not call for a vote by yeas and nays, but wished it to go on record that ho was opposed to it.

Mr. Sherman opposed the motion, say- ? ing that it was very unusual to instruct i a committee to report a proposition and c then submit for the first time. There ? was no objection to the passage of tho I bond-purchuse bill, and be thought that i os a (luestion of practical legislation that bill should be passed at once. Mr. Mcpherson said that the proposition of Mr. Stewart meant the free coinage of silver 1 and nothing else. After some further discussion, Mr. <3 Stewart withdrew his amendment.

SENATOR CAMDEN'S VIEWS Tho Legislature, at Least, Slay b Republican?Cleveland Han Destroyed His Prospects With His Little SreHsage. Cincinnati, 0., April 2.?The inter view with Ex-Senator Camden, of Wen Virginia, published in the Enquirer, ha produced a decided sensation arnoni politicians. Mr. Camden's position as i leader of tho Democracy of his State, an< his heretofore well-known friendly atti tude toward President Cleveland, com bine to make the publication the mos important and significant, so far as th< political situation in West Virginia if oncerned, that has appeared for man} lays. In his New York special, Mr IV. C.

"He had a sure thing before lie >roclaimcd his message," he added, "but low he has not a chance." CLEVELAND AND 1IIS FUTUKE. "Do you think he will be renominaed ?" I asked. "Yes," "said he, "I think tho forces lemanding his renomination are irroistible. There are elements in the larty'sleadership which doubt the wisloin of his renomination, but I can not ee how these can avail." "Do you think he can be elected?" "That depends," said Mr. Camden. If the tariff question can be kept out >f the issues of the campaign I think he an be elected. Slio'ud the present 'ongrosis pass a tariff bill, and thus take utof the National canvass the agitation f the question, I do not think' the PresInnt'u mmu-nim will nnti?r intn it.. If. lowever, the Congress does not dispose f the question, and it is still pending lie campaign the paramount issue, 'levcland will be hurt. If the canvass o waged solely on the lines of proteeion as against free trade, the candidates, whoever they nuiy he, will bdtobsorbed iv tho issue. They will be lost sight I" TIIK TARIFF I.V WEST V1ROIMA. "IIow would such an issue affect your wn State of West Virginia?" "West Virginia," said tho Senator, has always been a close State. Had the Vays and Means Committee in the tariff ill prepared by it put coal on the freo st, it would have taken an overwhelmug struggle to have held its Electoral ote for tho Democratic candidate. )ven us the bill is now perfected it will rork to the disadvantage of the Demorats. The interest about Wheeling of on, glass and pottery will naturally lly itself to the party of protection.

I asked. "Yes, to an extent he is. With the cople he has more strength than with lie politicians. The latter class think iirn ungrateful, unmindful of obligation ml not given to the details of the organisation of tho party as a whole.

"What think you of tho Republican ituation?" I ventured. "I have not given it much thought," aid the Senator. "Sometimes it looks o me as if Blaine might be nominated, t strikes me lie is as strong as any candidate who could oppose Cleveland. In Vest Viginia I think ho has a prolounccd following with his party." I nhked the Senator if it were not the ict that the active ellbrts of.four or five rcalthv Democrats in his State had not ontributed more to keep the State in lie Democratic column than any other utlueices which might affect it. "Yes," he answered, "I think so." Cleveland's henomination. Towards President Cleveland, even inong the politicians, ti 're seems to be ess of resentment now than formerly.

The managing spirits of ho next Democratic campaign will all H5 new men. .Neither Gorman, Barium, Smith, Weed nor any of the old vheel-horses care to be at the front. The ^resident will rely upon Bill Scott, of Srie, to conduct a campaign of reform, n faco of the fact that but for the >ower of his money he could not carry lis own Congressional district.

The Bangs Slater'* Fraud Exposed bjr CI cago Detectives. .CmcAOO, April 2.?Two mediun t known as the Bangs sisters, whose m terialistic seances liave been commontc on a good deal latel v, were arrested la night, locked up, cfiarged with conduc ing an entertainment without a litem and obtaining money under false pit tenses. The women, who are your 0 and good-looking, claim to have been i the medium business since they wei small children. Recently they we] brought prominently before public ni tice through the freaks of Henry Jei tram, a wealthy photographer of tlii city. Jestrain was an old-time friend ( - August Spies, the Anarchist, and sine 1 the latter s execution, claimed to hav received spirit communication from hie 3 through the medium of the Bangs sister 5 at whose seance* he was a regular at n tendant Iiis mind finally became aflet . hv cmiRtnnt broodinir over the sniri manifestations and a week ago it wa ' found necessary to place him in tho de tention hospital for the insane. I It appears that D. F. Treiny, of Engle t wood, who is a spiritualist, made com ' plaint to tho police threo weeks agi * that the Bangs sister's seances wen r frauds, and a detective was detailed t< attend them regularly and at the firs good chance expose and arrest them Warrants wore sworn out on the charge* named above. The caso of Jestran . served to hasten tho exposure. Last night the detective, accompanied , by a brother officer and tho complain' ant, Trefny, were on hand at tho open* i ing of tho seance. The lights were , turned very low, and several figures, purporting to be spirits, mado their appearance ono after another, and communicated with the audience. Finally there appeared the spirit of a Russian prince, clad in royal robes. The signal was given, and Mr. Trefny sprang forward and seized the spook by the arms. Tho two detectives rushed to his aid and some one else lit tho gas. The spook made a furious resistance, striking out right and left and tried to throw off his shroud and wig. "I have u warrant for you, May Bangs," said Detective Tyrell, and just then a light mask she wore fell off, disclosing Tier well known features. A roll of something concealed under her shroud fell to the tloor, and Mrs. Bangs, mother of the sisters, seized it and ran. Tyrell pursued her and caught her hiding behind a window curtain. It was a roll of batting, used probably to make wigs and beards in tho cabinet. So threatening did the sisters and several male attendants of the seance become that tho officers were compelled to draw 'l-nil" wurnltinm /? /.Inn*. (Iwi w>nm finliOA. queotly a search revealed a satchel filled with white muslin shrouds and the like, three sets of whiskers of different hues, live wigs, mustaches and a great variety of make-up material such as used by ilctors. They also found that in the cabinet was a curtain that ran up the centre making two compartments, and also a side entrance which admitted the spirit operator behind the curtain, where, by the way, all the changes of costumes were made. The cabinet, satchel and the sisters were then loaded into a patrol wagon and taken to the station and locked up. THE HEALTH COMMITTEE. The "Garbage Truit" and Obitreperom ViHltorit Ilcfore It, The Council Committee on Health held another session last evening. It wus more interesting than usual, and the aid of tho police in preserving order had to bo invoked beforo tho session was over. The members did not get to acting so bcldly as to require this, but some of the outsiders did. Tho committee was called for the purpose of investigating tho 'Garbage Trust" of Clark & Cline, claimed by Frank McSherry to be in lively existence. This statement was brought out by tho refusal of Council to award the Third district bid to one Sjprague, a sonin-law of McSherry's, at his bid of $999, for the reason that he was not of age. Tho Third district matter was referred back to the committee with instructions to also investigate the "Trust." At Inst night's meeting Dr. Ulrich, the chairman, ruled that the committee was called on to investigate only the Third district matter. Messrs. McGregor and Ferrcll objected to this; they wanted to go into the entire matter.' Mr. Davis came in afterward aud sided with them, and for a timu there was a warm discussion in the committee. Then the point was made that there was no quorum present, but it was decided to go ahead anyhow. Andrew Murphy, to whom had been awarded the contract for the First district after Thomas Troy had reported that he could not give bond, sent word that he could not give bond, McShcrry came to the front at this junction and said tho "Trust" had frightened Murphy off. Then Burns, who got the Fifth, and who was charged by McShcrry with being ~in the "Trust," came in and become so demonstrative toward McSherry that Officer Delcn had to be sent for to eject him from the room. Afterwords there came near being a riot between the contractors and their frfends gathered in the hall. Mike McGraw was given tho First at $430 and Ilenry Retzer tho Third at his bid of $1,000. Further investigation of the "Trust" fs declared off. THE OPENING GAMES. A Prnctlco (Initio by the liana Hall Nin? Yesterday.

When Jack Glasscock, of this city, king of the shortstops, arrived in Indianapolis to join the Hoosier club late Saturday night, be was given a warmer reception than he expected. A lew minutes after coming from the train he filtered a ivfltaiirant with a nnrtv of friends, where ho came in contact with Herbert W. Green, a saloon keeper, who recently filed a suijt for divorce, alleging that his handsome wife had been too intimate with the king of tho shortstops last year. Green rushed upon Glasscock tho moment he recognised him and struck him several blows before Glasscock was able to offer any resistance. An attempt was made to draw revolvers, but friends interfered and prevented more serious trouble. Hjrnp of Hp is nature's own true laxative.
