FIGHT AMONG SILVER REPUBLICANS Follows National Chairman Towne’s Removal of Richard Broad. GUNS AND PISTOLS USED COLORADO SPRINGS, Col., September 7.—The politieal war between the two fac- tions of the silvar republican party result- ed this morning in the death of Charles sHarris of Denver. It was the result of an- attempt -by- the Broad faction to capture the Opera House, which was guarded by the Sprague faction. At 4 o'clock a rush was made by 75 or 100 of th? Broad men from both front and rear of the building, and the Sprague men, who held possession, in repelling the at- tack, fired a volley into their assailants. Harris fell with x bullet through the ab- domen. e The shooting occurred just outsid2 the Opera House door. Several arresis have been made. The man who fired the shot which struck is urdcubtedly in custody, but his name cannot now be ascertained. Refused to Surrender. ‘Th: tragedy was preceded by the action of National Chairman Towne in removing Richard Broad from the chairmanship of the state committee on the ground of “dis- loyalty to the silver republican party and the cause it stands for,” it being alleged that he had joinzd in a conspiracy with friends of Senator Wolcott to defeat the proposed fusion with democrats and popu- lists, Chas. S. Sprague, representing the Tel- ler and Towne delegates, obtained posses- sion of the Opera House, in which th> con- vention is to meet tomorrow, and refused to surrender it at the demand of ex-Chair- man Broad. Mr. Sprague is editor of the Colorado Springs Evening Telegraph. Harris di2d soon after he was shot. An- other man was struck in the cheek by the game bullet that killed Harris. Sheriff Boynton and Chief Gathright took control of the Opera House and made a thorough search. The sheriff said they discover2d a whole arsenal in the building. The offi- cers seized six Winchester rifles and ten revolvers. ‘The Of2ra House is now in possession of the police, deputy sheriffs and adherents of ex-Chatrman Broad. No one is allowed to approach the doors. James A. Howze, Walter Russell, J. J. Lang and A. C. Smith, of the party in the hall, were arrested. ‘The sliding doors which form the entrance to the auditorium show the effects of the shooting The right-hand door as the room is entered is perforated with the bullets from a Winchester and a ball also lodged in the left door. Both were fired from the inside of the room and are about as high as a man’s head from the floor. At 1 o'clock this morning the Wolcott- Broad faction applied to Judge Lunt for a writ of mandamus compelling Chairman Blood, who was appointed by National Chairman Towne, to succeed Chairman Broad, removed and to turn the building over to ex-Chairman Broad. The writ was refused. Fustlade of Shots. “At 4:10 this morning,” said ex-May Plumb, “we were inside the Opera House. ‘There were twenty-two of us. Suddenly a fusilade of shots was fired through both the front and side doors. ‘Then in a second the doors were burst open and in rushed from seventy-five to one hundred men. “There was constant firing in all parts of the hall, we renlying as best we could. I saw one man fall shot through the lungs. ‘They carried him to the batcony dnd lald him down. He died in a few minutes after- ward. Another man was injured. “We were forced out of the building. Sheriff Boynton and Chief of Police Gath- right were in the front ranks of the at- tacking party.” The polic> and sheriff's officers claim that the attack was made entirely by men brovght from Denver. They say they only rushed in after the attack began. It is a peculiar fact, however, that they were all on hand. Blood’s Accusation. Chairman Blood has issued a statement, in which he says that rumors had reached him that ex-Cazirman Broad, I. N. Stev- ens and Dewitt C. Webber arranged with a gang of thugs to come from Denver and co-operate with Sheriff W. S. Boynton and the police of Colorado Springs in seizing the convention hall and turning it over to the anti-Teller faction, so that they may or- ganize and control the convention tomor- row. Harris’ Career in Denver. DENVER, Col., September 7.—Chas. Har- ris, who was fatally shot this morning, came to Denver five years ago from Omaha, where he formerly held the office of deputy United States marshal. He is a carpenter by trade, about thirty-two years old, and has a wife and two children. For a time he was a member of the Denver fire department. ———_—_. THE MEN AT CAMP THOMAS. Gen. Breckinridge Will See Them All Away Before He Leaves. CHICKAMAUGA-CHATTANOOGA NA- TIONAL MILITARY PARK, Tenn., Sep- tember 7.—According to present plans, two regiments will leave Camp Thomas at once. These, the Ist and 24 Arkansas, will go to Little Rock to be mustered out. The 1st Mississippi is scheduled to go to Lauderdale Springs, Miss., Friday for the same purpose. There is a possibility, how- ever, the Mississippi regiment will be or- dered elsewhere than its own state, on ac- count of the yellow fever. Grigsby’s Rough Riders will leave either Friday or Saturday. No movements occurred today. The pay- masters will bggin work tomorrow. Only half a dozen regiments are to be paid, and the work will not require more than two days. The Rough Riders will be the first paid. Col. Nye, commissary of subsistence of the Chattanooga army supply depot, with ten clerks, left this morning for Huntsville, Ala., where he will have his headquarters hereafter. The commissary supplies now in the warehouses in Chattanooga will not be moved, except as they are needed by the various camps. . Breckinridge will move his head- quarters to Lexington, Ky., early next week. He intends to see all the regiments SS Camp Thomas before he leaves self. Se THE INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION.

Fourteen Men-Kitted and Seventeen - Eadly Hurt. TORONTO, Septenber 7.—A special dis- pstch to the Globe from: Cornwall, giving details of yesterday's Eridge accident there, in which fourteen men were killed and sev- enteen seriously injured, says the cause of the disaster will not be positively known until divers have"séarthed the wreck lying in the bottom gf the. St. Lawrence. The river is divided by Cornwall Island, and the scene of the-disaster was in the south channel. There gre two stone piers in the center of the stream supporting three spans of ironwork, eech 300 feet long and thirty- seven above high watér. The accident cen- tered around the pie: nearer the south or American shore. Ii was about three minutes to the noon }Rour when the workmen on that part of the bridge félt two of the southern spans give way %eneath them, and they were thfown in the water or caught and crushed in the wreck. Nene of-them can give a clear idea of what haprened, and there will probably be expensive litigation before the liability is placed. oes ‘The piers and mason work -were'huilt by the Sooy-Smith Company of New York, and the iron work by the Phoenix Bridge Ccempany of Phoenixville, Pa. The mason- ry, though not formally accepted, was practically completed, and all the men at work were employes of the bridge com- pany. Naturally, therefore, the tendency, so far as it 1s based on the testimony employes, is to bleme the Sooy-Smith Com. 4 pany. What Eye-Witnesses Saw. On the other hand, there is the emphatic siatement of an eye-witness t& the con- y. Capt. Bonnor, on the tug Beaver, was a chort distance below the bridge at the time, and says that the southerly span collapsed first, pulling the pier and the next span with it toward the American skcre. The spans whieh fell had just been completed, and the false work underne: was being removed, and it is possible t in some way the bridge was injured. 4 other theory is that the foundation of the pier had been vndermined by water and crumbled away, dragging down the bridg In that case the pier would not show signs of being pulled toward the southern shore, but would be directly in the channel of the river. Only a thorough investigation can settle the point. George E. Thomas, chief engineer of the Sooy-Smith Company, had not much to say,.as he had not yet seen the. wreck, but expressed himself as perfectly confident that his company was not to .blame. He has been bridge buiiding all over America since 1856, and never lost a man before. The wrecked pier was built last fall and successfully withstood the tremendous presure of the ice, shoves in the winter and spring. Heard a Crash. J. W. Smith, a Brooklyn carpenter, left that part cf the bridge a few minutes be- fcre and had just reached the island when he heard a crash and saw the spans sink out of sig¥t, but is unable to say how it happened. Jim Dowling, a riveter, says that he heard a noise beneath him, and saw the pier falling over towards the south shore. He grasped a rope and was swung clear of the wreck into the river, from which he swam ashore. John Simonds, the head foreman of the Phoenix Company, was greatly distressed at the loss of his companions of many years. He had just left the bridge and reached Cornwall Island, when he heard a crash and saw. the spans sinking. The center span did. not swerve until it had sunk some distance, when it toppled over. The span next the American shore sank directly to the .bottem just as it stood. This seems to indicate that it was the pier which first slipped away, but Mr. Simonds would not say so, He:has been in the em- ploy of the Phoenix Company for twent three years and never had an accident at- tributable to him. The bridge had just been completed and stood by itself, so that the action of the, men on the false work had nothing to do with the accident. ++ © LATE ARMY ORDERS.

RELIEF ASSOCIATION LAYING PLANS Successful Test of Columbia Fire Company's Engine. GENERAL AND PERSONAL Evening Star Bureau, No. 727 King St. (Bell Telephone 1408), ALEXANDRIA, Va., September 7, 1898. The ladies comprising the Soldiers’ Relief Association held a meéting last night at Armory Hall for the purpose of completing arrangements for giving luncheon to the boys of the 3d Virginia Regiment es they pass through here on their way to Rich- mond. The meeting was occasioned by a telegram, which the vice president, Mrs. J. E£. Alexander, received from Capt. Atkin- sen of Company F, to the effect that the regiment would break camp at 8 o'clock Thursday morning. It ts not known at just what time of day the troops will pass through Alexandria. Arrangements have been made whereby every suldier will be provided with an cx- cellent lunch. As they cannot leave the i cars, and as it is deemed improper for the | iadies to enter them, a number of gentle- men have been deputized to carry the lunches through the trains. With the departure of the 3d Vi from Camp Alger and the 15th Penn: nia from Fort Sreriden, it is expected that Armory Hali will be clesed until Comy F returns from Richn.ond, when it will be opened for their reception. Today a meeting of those connected with the association and others interested will be held in the city covneil chamber to per- fect arrangements for the reception of Company F on its return from Richmond. Police Court Procecdings. In the police court this morning Mayor Simpson disyosed of the fcllowing cases: Frederick Lynch, a private from Fort Washington, who wes arrested by Officers Knight and Bettis on a charge of being drunk and disorderly, was fined $5, and in Gefault of payment he was committed. The case of Harry Davis, colored, was brought up, and the mayor ordered him ccmmitted ‘o jail to await action by the Marylané authorit Davis ts the man who did the shooting end cutting at Notley Hall several weeks ago, and who evaded capture by leaving for parts unknown, un til yesterday, when he was arrested by Lieut. Smith and Officer Arrington. The case of Gus Robinson and Taylor Brown, charged with trespassing on the property of the Southern railroad, will be tried this evening at 5 o'clock. On account of the large number of sol- diers who are frequenting the disreputable section in the second ward, the mayor this morning ordered that the police force in that ward be increased. Officers Arring- ton, Beach and Hail are temporarily trans- terred to the second ward. Glimpse of Admiral Cervera. Admiral Cervera, with a few Sparish offi- cers, among them his son, Licut. A Cervera, passed Alexandria early t morning en route from Norfolk to Wash- ington, on the Norfolk steamer, and was seen by a few persons while the steamer lay for a short time at Hooe’s wharf. It wes not known here that the admiral would be a passenger on the steamer, otherwise a large cruwd would have gathered to see him. Columbia Engine in Good Condition. The Columbia fire engine, which has been up for repairs recently, was given a trial on the river front yesterday, which trial rroved the engine to be in better condition than ever. Under a water pressure of i pounds she threw a stream from an i: and-one-eighth nozzle to a distance of 237 feet. Ordinarily only two men are required to hold tne pipe, but in this instance four were unable to hold it. One of them, Mr. Walter Cline, was thrown to the ground and painfully injured. Mr. Wood saw the predicament in time to shut off the engine before further damage was done. Confederate Veterans. R. E. Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans, held a meeting in their hall Monday night for the purpose of transacting usual busi- ness and electing delegates to the grand reunion of state confederate camps to be held at Culpeper October 4. The delegates elected are as follows: Messrs. K. Kemper, William W. Sherwood and J. C. Milburn: The alternates are Messrs. Del. Kemper, Isaac W. Rudd and W. H. May. It is expected that a large number of yelerans and sons of veterans will atend frcm Alexandria. Special Trial in Police Court. Two young men, who gave their names as W. D. Cline and J. R. Carter, accom- penied by two young women, came over from Washington Mcnday for a carousa! They tock dinner at Fleischmann’s Hotel, and when they left the waiter reported that some silver ware was missing. This fact was reporied to the police. Sergt. smith found the parties in Ramwell’s restaurant and brought them before Mayor Simpson, who gave a special hearing and imposed upcn the men a fine cf $5 each, which was paid. Boy Badly Scalded. Albert, the litle son of Mr. Benedict Weil of South St. Asaph street, was bad- ly scalded by hot coffee while the family was at supper Monday evening. The servy- ant’s arm was jostled while bringing a pot of boiling coffee from the kitchen, and the little boy received a douse of the scalding liquid. Dr. T. M. Jones was called in and relieved the little sufferer as much as pos- sible. He is better today and resting easy. Brief Mention. + Miss Ellen Ford died Monday at her resi- dence, on North Columbus street. The de- ceased was an aged and highly respécted lady, being almost ninety years old, and had been for a long time a resident of Alex- andria. The school clerk and an assistant have been kept busy issuing permits to white boys and girls. Eight hundred and thirty- seven permits were issued in one day. Thursday and Friday will be devoted to the colored scholars. Messrs. W. H. Chapman and A. C. Ed- monds, revenue agents for this district, have been transferred to Lynchburg. It is understood that this change is only tem- perary, and that the gentlemen will soon return to Alaxandria. Jchn Gains, an old and well-known col- ored citizen, died at his home in this town Monday evening. Mr. Jack Barett has gone for a week's stay in Markham. As the time draws near for the flour in- spector’s term to expire there has been some speculation as to his successor. Mr. Thomas Perry is the present incumbent, and Dr. Cox has been mentioned for the place. The merchants who are con- cerned in flour, with hardly an ex- ception, it is said, are strongly in favor of Mr. Perry’s rearpoirtment, and have sjen- | ed a petition to that effect. The time for appointment is vstally the first of Septem- ber, and Mr. Perry’s term expires the 26th. Frank Williams, the colored boy who was run over and seriously injured by an ice wagon yesterday, is not dead, as reported, but is doing wel: this morning. His collar- bone was broken and his wrist badly sprained. At the hyJraulion ergine house last night refreshments were served and music ren- deréd by the olin Club.

POLAVIEJA’S MANIFESTO He Says the Political Reorganization of Spain is Necessary. Eighty-Three Deaths Among Spanish Prisoners on a Transpert Just at Santander. MADRID, September 7.—Gen. Polavieja, the former captain general of the Philippine Islands, has issued a manifesto, in which he says that while he was never a poli- tician, he “cannot any longer hearken to the sorrows of my country without pro- testing.” The general, asserting that he has re- ceived numerous calls to place himself at the head of a neutral party, adds: “The parties which have hitherto gov- erned Spain are rotten and the principal cause of the country’s troubles.” Therefore, according to Gen. Polavieja, political reorganization is absolutely ne¢- essary, “as is also the truth concerning our finances, so that the state’s creditors may know the measures Spain has proposed in order to meet her engagements.” In conclusion, Gen. Polavieja advocates “the decentralization of the government, without, however, impairing national unity, Gen. Correa, minister of war, has pro- hibited the publication of Gen. Polavieja’s manifesto. The 1epublicans intend to demand open sessions of the cortes, and in the event of the government refusing to agree to this they will withdraw. Many Died on the Way. SANTANDER, Spain, September 7.—The Spanish transport Satrustoqui has arrived here from Santiago de Cuba. There were eighty-three deaths on bbard of her during the voyage. Gen. Linares, the former commander of the Spanish forces at Santiago de Cuba, was a passenger on board the Satrustoqul. He is recovering. ———— Opening of Nicoll, the Tailor.
