THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JULY 3, 1896. MORE BLOODSHED IN CLEVELAND. A Striker Shot and Killed by a Non-Union ‘Workman. POLICE TO THE RESCUE. Laborers Shielded From a Riot- ous Mob by the City’s Guardians. MILITIAMEN PUT ON GUARD. Disorderly Crowds of Men and Women Beaten and Dispersed by Policemen. CLEVELAND, Osro, July 2.—Blood was again shed during the trouble at the Brown Hoisting works this afternoon. William Rottger was shot aac instantly killed by a non-union workman, who at- tempted to leave the works on his bicycle and was attacked by a portion of the mob. The police succeeded in rescuing the shooter and were then besieged in a shop and had great difficulty in preventing the Iynching of their prisoner. Finally a call for troops was made and two of the four companies under arms were hurried to the sceme. The prisoner was finally loaded into a patrol wagon and about 7:30 to-night was locked up in the Central police station. & The troops are on guard and thereis a sullen mob of at least 10,000 hanging around the premises. Shortly before the hour for auitting work several strikers marched up to the Brown Works with big banners, on which was written in large letters “‘Brown Scabs.” At 4:30 o’clock the main body of the workmen were marshaled into line and the volice force formed the usual hollow square. Captain English gave the word, the gates were opened and the solid body of workmen, surrounded by 150 policemen, with clubs in hand, marched out. The crowd gave way and the procession moved up Hamilton street to Case on the way to the St. Clair-sireet cars. The crowd followed, as on Wednesday even- ing, yelling *‘scab” and making a lively vocal demonstration. Contrary to the Mayor’s declaration, the police could not drive back the following mob. At least they allowed it to follow them up Hamil- ton street. The police marched to the Fourth Precinct station, where they made a halt. Forming two lines, they allowed the workmen to enter the station. All being out of the way, the police formed again across the street. At this moment the following party was a dense black crowd reachin: far down Wilson avenue. Suddenly the word ‘‘Charge!” was giyen. It rang out loud and clear, and an awfal -scene followed. The police pressed forward like a shot out of a gun. In & moment they were upon the van- guard of the crowd. The latter were dum- founded. There was a waver, and then ail turned and fled. The batons of the police were falling like hail on the heads of the men. The crowd was panic - stricken. Two cars blocked the way north of Wilson avenne, and the men, women and children were packed together in a tight mass, yelling and shrieking. One part broke away and ran down the Cleveland and Pittsburg tracks, close at hand. Another went south on Wilson avenue. Men were lying unconscious on the street or crawling around in a vain attempt to rise to their feet. The police, dividing into squads, charged after each section of the.crowd, determined to inflict punishment severe and unrelenting. This lasted for several minutes, and then returning squads of policernen began to gather up unconscious men and others who were staggering around as the result of severe blows. Ten students of the School of Applied Sciences have been engaged at the hoist- ing works, but there has been no dispo- sition to molest them. Each day they have, after the police marched out the other workmen, mounted their wheels and gone home. This afternoon A. G. Saun- ders, aged 19, one of the boys, was later than his companions in leaving, and when he followed the crowd which was in pursuit of the police he was assailed with cries of “scab” and stones were thrown at him. When he had reached a point about a block away, in front of the Bishop Iron Works, he was struck by a stone and an awful gash cut in bis head. He fell from bis wheel, the mob shouted “Kill the scab!” and made a rush for him. As he lay he drew a revolver and shot Rottger through the heart. The squad of police left to guard the Brown works wit- nessed the shooting and charged down the street, managing to reach Saunders, who was again on the ground being kicked and buffeted. The police drew their revolvers and managed by great effort to get the in- jured man into the office of the Bishop Works. The mob outside, which bad swelled to 3000, infuriated by the sight of the dead man, howled *“Lynch him!” and were preparing to make a charge on the building in which the police had taken refuge when a re-enforcement came up, attacked the crowd in the rear and clubbed their way to wkere the imprisoned officers were standing off the crowd. They man- aged 10 keep the mob at bay until a com- pany of militia marched to the scene and took Saunders to the Central police sta- tion. The section of the city where the work- men live is in a state of ferment to-night, and threats were made to burn the houses where the men who have returned to work live before mornihg. The police are on the alert and the strects are being rimdly ratrolled. There is also apprehension that the trouble has only begun and that a strike of ironworkers, embracing every branch of that industry in Cleveland, may come about at any moment. The American Wire Company plant, which has been idle for some months on account of a lockout, has been surrounded with a ten-foot fence, and the company will open up next week with non-union men. 1f this is done more rioting is cer- tain to occur. Four companies of militia are under arms at their respective armories and will be used to keep the peace to-morrow. The Brown Company is as firm as ever in its announced intention not to recognize the union. . After the police had escorted the work- men to the ¥ourth Precinct station at Wilson and Euclid avenues, the mob, which had followed all the way, was re-en- forced by thoasands of workmen returning from other shops, and both streets were packed. Deputy Police Suverintendent McMahon ordered the streets cleared, and fifty policemen, under command of Cap- tain English, were lined up. Batons were drawn and when the order “Charge” was given there ensued the most terrific exhibition of clubbing that Cleveland has ever known. The police, who were tired from their long extra labors, fought viciously, and soon 100 men were either lying on the ground, or crawl- ing, or being carried away. The mob broke and soon Wilson avenue was cleared. The police were lined up and another charge made into Enclid avenue, where another rerce clubbing ensued. This seemed to break the mob’s spirit, and the crowd finally dispersed, and the workmen who were in the station were sent to their homes under police protection. Dunn_G the fight the police captured five_ of their assailants, each of whom was in a bad condition from the beating he had re- ceived, William Hearn, a furniture van driver, allowed the strikers to crowd into his wagon, and then crying “Give them hell ! drove right into the police line with his horses on a run. Several policemen were knocked down betore the team was cap- tured. Hearn was dragged from the wagon and clubbed into insensibility be- fore he could be carried into the station. His skull was fractured and his face and head cut and bruised fearfully. Steve O'Neill was also on the wagon and hasa broken head and a broken leg. Hermann Schaels, a blacksmith, has a terribly cut head and was badly hurt by being trampled on. James Fox and Charles Cuppenbecker were each badly cut about the head. Charges of rioting were preferred against the five prisoners. The mob managed to carry away all the others who were so injured as to be unable to walk. A conservative estimate is that fifty men were severely injured by the clubbicg. P Quiet at Boca. CLEVELAND, Onio, July 2.—The pres- ence of troops at Boca had a restraining influence on affairs at the quarries there to-day. The Sheriff, with 100 deputies and the two companies of State troops, are still on guard. ALMOST A HOLOCAUST, Narrow Escape of a Dakota Town From Being Swept by a Flood. A Canal Bank Bursts and Water Overflows the Freight Depot of a Railroad. EDGMONT, S. D., July 2.—Last night the Edgmont irrigating canal bank pbroke south of town and an enormous amount of water poured down the hill into the old bed of the creek where the Burlington Railroad Company has but lately erected its freighthouse. The water rose until within ten feet of the top of the fill, when the ground broke through. Before the flood, which was almost irresistible, could be controlled it washed a hole sixty feet long and many feet deep. The embank- ment had been inspected jon Tuesday last and found to be in good condition, and on the strength of this an extra amount of water had been turned in. The damage to the canal is almost complete, while the Barlington loss is very heavy. The city escaped the flood by almost a miracle, as owing to the pressure of water the embankment above town proved to be weak in one place. But for the providen- tial breaking of the embankment where it did the town would have been flooded with consequent loss ot life and enormous damage. Two cloudburstsoccurred to-day near tne city and all streams are running over. —_—— DEATH OF GENERAL LAWTON The Confederate Commander Was Stricken by Paralysis. CLIFTON SPRINGS, N. Y., July 2.— General A. R. Lawton of Savannah, Ga., died at the Clifton Springs sanitarium this morning. He was stricken by paralysis on Friday last and never rallied. He was Colonel of, the First Regiment of Georgia Volunteers, when in January, 1861, he took possession of Fort Puiaski, under State authority. At the commencement of hostilities in the following April he re- ceived a commission as brigadier-general in the Confederate army, and up to the close of the rebellion was in constant mili- tary service. After the fall of Richmond General Lawton returned to Savannah and re- sumed the practice of law. He was Min- ister to Austria under the first Cleveland administration. e DARING CHICAGO FODTP.I’J. Their Fourteenth Successful Exploit Was the Hold-Up of a Drugstore. CHICAGO, IiL, July 2. — The “long” and the “short” man continued operations here to-night and did their fourteenth job in the line of holding up stores. At 9:30 o’clock to-night the two men en- tered the drugstore of A. B. Lane at 1202 Wabash avenue. Going up to Walter Kotz, one of the- clerks, they covered him with their revolvers and ordered him to hand over the cash. The smaller of the two men said to the clerk: “I am the short man and am s little short of cash. Please produce.” Kotz went to the cash drawer and handed over between $50 and $75 without protest. The men left and ursued by Harry Butler, another clerk n the store, but easily escaped, and the police are still looking for the robbers. TR Fery Quict Weddiug at Eureka. EUREKA, CAL., July 2.—Bhortly after noon to-day, at Christ Episcopal Church, a very quiet wedding was solemnized by Rev. William Leacock. The contracting arties were Hcwell W. Lonnsberry of Bnklsnd and Amy D. Soule of Eureka. The bride is the handsome and accom- plishea daughter of Banker C. P. Soule of this city, and the groom is a rising young business man of Oakland. After the cere- mony the happy couple left on the Po- mona for their home in Oakland. prees i ates Changes in Railway Circles. S8T. PAUL, Mi~x., July 2.—Horace G. Burt was to-day appointed general man- ager of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneap- olis and Omaha Railway, vice W. W. Win- ter, resigned, to take the presidency of the Northern. Pacific. Burt has been general manager of thes Sioux City and Pacific and the Fremont, Elk Horn and Missonri Val- ley roads. George F. Bidwell succceds Burt on the latter line. fardinlly o Confederate Veterans® Comclave. RICHMOND, Va., July 2.—All the officers ofthe United Confederate Veterans were re-elected just before the adjournment last night. 3 The programme to-day included a par- ade of the visiting military and laying the cornerstone of the monument to Jef- ferson Davis in Monroe Park.

OCCURS ON JULY FOURTH Seventy - Eight Athletes Will Compete in the Field Games. SEVERAL CHAMPIONS LISTED. Bicycling, Foot and Hurdle Racing in the Afternoon and Boxing at Night. STOCKTON, CaL., July 2.—The coming carnival of sport on the Fourth of July promises to be the greatest event of the kind ever held in the West. In the field- day games there are seventy-eight entries, exclusive of the fifteen entries in the two bicycle events, and if some records are not lowered the knowing ones will be badly mistaken. Cheek, of tne Academic Athletic League, has his heart set on lowering the coast record for the shot put. The Olympic Club tried its best to get him to go 1o Port~ land, but he preferred to save his energies for the games here, and he will give a creditable account of himself on the after- noon of the Fourth. Last year Robert Edgren broke the coast record for the hammer throw at the field- day games held here, and this year he will probably eclipse the great record he made in his trial in San Francisco. He has promised to lower the world’s amateur record for the 56-pound shot, and all who know the stalwart athlete’s ability in this line do not doubt that he will do it. Then there is ‘the half-mile run, in which fourteen men will start. Tom Car- keek of Stockton will lower the Coast rec- ord if he is given halfa show, He isanx- ious to make arecord for Stockton, and has been training hard for the event. He is one of the best all-round amateur ath- letes on the coast to-day and the Stockton Athletic Association is willing to match him with any amateur on the coastin a catch-as-catch-can wrestling “bout. He has entered in all of the running events except the mile and 220-yard hurdle race, and may be depended upon to give a good account of himself. Cheek has entered in the pole vault and high jump, and is expected to do some- thing phenomenal for his team. Stanford has also some good men en- tered. Fred Buiz of the Olympic Club has his name down for all the sprints. He will have a rival in Wilhite of Modesto, who is a member of the Siockton Athletic Association and will wear the blue and white of that club. Excursions wiill be run from Bacra- mento, Antioch, Tracy, Merced, Fresno and Modesto on the Fourth for the carni- val of sport, and Stockton will be filled with strangers. Already accommodations have been secured in all the leading hotels for the visitors, Almost as much interest centers in the boxing tournament that is to come off at night as in anything else. Van Buskirk has vowed to knock Corrigan out inside the allotted six rounds, and if condition counts there is little doubt that he will not doso. He is extremely anxious to win laurels in the professional ring, and wants to challenge Sharkey, who will spar here with Needham at the boxing tournament. On that night Van Buskirk will 1ssuea chalienge to SBharkey, and the two may be brought together. Sharkey will be the best man the ex-amateur ev'r went up against, but Van Buskirk is confident he can win against the sailor in a finish fight or in one of a sufficient number of rounds. The big Olympian is in better trim than he ever was 1n his life. As he hasan ideal place for training and is making good use of it he should soon be a better man than he ever was. Tom Berry is in training at the same place for his eight-round go with Charley Tuarner. The latier has promised to re- deem himself in the eves of his erstwhile Stockton admirers, and they are anxiously waiting to see what the wreck of their former idol can do. One of the contests that is creating much excitement is that between Jack Hopkins, who once bested Solly Smith, and Ben Maxwell, a colored pnugilist. This is scheduled to !ast eight rounds, but few expect it to continue longer than six, The lists are full for the regatta that is to come off on the morning of the Fourth, The great disappointment is that the champion senior South End crew did not keep their recent promise made to come here and compete against the Giant crew of Btockton. The local men offered to pay their expenses, and to offer individual medals, besides a trophy, for the contest. The South Ends said that they wanted meaals, and this point was waived. Even then they did not enter and have only sent a crew to goin the intermediate class, This has caused much comment, as the Giants were only juniors at the El Campo races. The new barge has been fitted up and the seniors from the Stockton Athletic Association are ready to pull the race of their lives. There are enough entries in the other events to make the regatta a great success, and the channel will be lined on the morning of the Fourth with thousands of spectators. e JOE PATCHEN WON EASILY. He Beat John R. Gentry in Two Straight Heats Paced in Fast Time. CHICAGO, IrL, July 2—The match race between John R. Gentry, 2:03%, and Joe Patchen, 2:04, proved to be something of a fizzle at Washington Park to-day. Patchen drew the pole for the first heat and simply romped away from Gentry. It might have been a close race to the wire had Andrews been able to hold Gen- try on bis feet, but at the eighth pole he broke and Patchen simply cantered in the easiestof winners. Gentry was greatly distressed after the heat and when it came to scoring with the big black fellow soon after it was plainly Patchen’sday. The latter bad a neck the better of it when the word was gven for the second heat and he never relinguished the lead. zoine out at the quarter and killing off the Gentry horse, who broke at the eighth pole and allowed Patchen to romp in again. The other events were uneventful and the racing mediocre.

LONDON, Exa., July 2—It was a glor- ious Rothschild day at Newmarket for the big race. The purse being up was the Princess of Wales stake of 10,000 sovereigns. Persimmons, owned by the Prince of Wales and winner of the Derby, was en- tered. Many of those in attendance looked upon him asa sure winner. The know- ing ones, however, did not overlook the fact that Regret, owned by the Duke of Westminster, and Leopold Rothschild’s 8t. Frusquin was also on the cards. The condition of the track favored Persimmons. The three horses started well together, and for a while it was doubtful as to the outcome. In the stretch, however, St. Frusquin showed up the fresher and finisbed first, with Persimmons second and Regret third. The result was not a popu- lar one, as many hoped the Prince’s horse would win the Princess stake. SN s LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES. Chicago Manages to Win One Out of Four From Cleveland.

HE DID NOT LIKE CUBA Joseph Berger Relates a Tale of Sad Experience in the Antilles. Lizards for Breakfast, Bu'lets for Dinner, Fever for Supper, the Routine. SEATTLE, Wasn., July 2. — Joseph Berger, a cable and teleeraph operator who spent three months in the Cuban army and made his escape from the isiand during a Spanish attack, in which he came near losing his life, passed through Seattle to-day en route to Southern Cali- fornia. His duties while in Cuba were to accom- pany a division of the insurgent army, tap telegraph wires when the opportunity was presented, copy dispatches as they passed tbrough, and thus gain knowledge of the enemy’s plans. Occasionally they held an office for a short time and once were in | nothin mala the revolutionists had taken Es. cuintla. The Panama Star and Herald, after re- viewing the treaties recently signed be- tween Chile and Argentine on the one hand and Chile and Bolivia on the other, says: It now remains to be seen whether Chile will deal with Peru and face the set- tlement of the Tacna-Arica question. It is as clear as daylight that Chile cannot retain them long now and its suits her and every one to get it settled, whether or not Pere can be wheedled or coerced into con- senting to Boltvia taking them. Whether Peru is to gain her lost provinces and Bo- livia is to be satisfied with a slice to be cut off the north of Tarapaca, which will give her the desired outlet to the sea, is a prob- lem. =~ One way or another, it is time our northern frontier was settled and we were free of Tacna and Arica, which have been but an incumbrance to us; but we freely acknowledge that the Peruvian Government seems scarcely to possess the necessary stability to deal with this ques- tion. el RAILWAY COMPANY ROBBED. Conductors, Station Agents and Porters Have Been Knocking Down. CHICAGO, IrL., July 2.—Officials of the Chicago and Alton Railroad have just dis- covered that a gang of employes, among whom are passenger-train conductors and possession of the cable office at Batabano | station agents, working with Pullman-car and telegraphed glowing accounts of in- surgent victories that never occurred. In this connection he says both sides are doing all in their power to send out false reports, in order to deceive outsiders re- garding the condition of things on the island. “In the hands of the insurgents,” said Berger, “‘are about 2500—not over 4000 at most—stands of modern arms, but they have a large number of old flintlock ritles | and blunderbusses. Of supply trains | going into the_ interior about nine out of | ten are captured by the insurgents, buf on the other hand nearly all consignments intended for the rebels are captured by the Spaniards, “Excepting the food taken by the rebels from the Spaniards, the patriots live on lizards and snakes; but they are in con- dition to withstand the fever, which is killing off the Spaniards, a march of three miles being sufficient to incapacitate most soldiers. The plan of the insurgents is to starve the Spanish soldiers out of the interior, which they now hold with gar- risons and ample artillery. *‘The treatment of prisoners is barbarous on both sides, bodies being padly mati- lated whether thereis life in them or not.” Berger, referring to the manner of his escape, said that on May 2 he accompa- | nied a troop of soldiers to the beach on the | western slope of the island to receive fire- | arms from a schooner. The schooner was about to land the goods in small boats, when the Spaniards suddenly appeared, killing the captain, some sailors and a good many Cubans. He and two Cubans escaped in a small boat to the schooner and from there were taken to St. Marks, Fla, After landing there he was stricken with fever, but it proved to be a slight attack, and upon his recovery he mifi a visit to the home of his parentsin Great Falls, Mont.

PANAMA, Coromsia, June 24.—Anent the revolution in Guatemala the Star and Herald publishes the following dispatch from Salvador under date of June 20; Official advices received from Guatemala state that a serious revolt, headed by Jose M. Gonzales, Juan R. Cueller, Geronimo Puente, a Cubar, and several others, broke out at Chiquimula four days ago. This dispatch also adds that when the Govern- ment forces went to attack the insurgents they abandoned their position, disbanding and fleeing to the Snrudonn and Hon- duras frontiers, There were 800 of the Tebe Passengers reccnui arrived at La Lib- ertad affirm that when they left Guate- ‘porters, have robbed the railway company of $15,000. Sufficient investigation into the gigantic steal has been made to show a conspiracy, and thus far three con- ductors and two station agents have lost their positions. Others may be dis- charged when the full extent of the con- spiracy is discovered. The company is making all plans for the criminal prosecu- tion of the offenders. The steal was accomplished through the co-operation of a station agent with passenger conductors. It issaid thatthe conduceors would take up tickets but not punch them. The tickets would be re- turned to the agent, who would resell them and divide the proceeds with the con- ductors. S THE DEBT STATEMENT. Natianal Obligations Were Greatly In- ereased During June.
