coachman, Thomas Beddow. struck the re
porter, the police say. Beddow was ar
rested on the charge of assault and bat

placed in the vaults of a local safe deposit
company. The Thebaud place was also
placed in the hands of caretakers.
Mr. McCurdy has reserved what is
known as the "imperial suite" on the

lege of using it whenever he cares to
travel on the Amerika. Mr. McCurdy's

mercial treaty between Austria-Hungary
and Germany, Italy,- Russia and
Belgium and also the new Austro-Hun-garlan
autonomous tariff, on which the

today. The dual monarchy thereby en
ters on a new period of commercial
relations with foreign countries, par
ticularly ,thc neighboring states of
Central Europe. The tariff treaties
were designed to give increased protec
tion to' Austro-Hungarian agricultural
and manufacturing Interests, for the
tariff Increases duties not only on manufactured-
goods but also on all sorts
of provisions. The satisfaction is gen
oraL It is recognized that it will hold
Austria-Hungary together, at least eco

will endure, namely. 12 years.
Trado between the United States and
Austria-Hungary continues under the
treaty of 1S23. undor which the "United
States gets the favored-nation treat
ment. The aforementioned treaties were put
through without giving the Hungarian
Deputies a chance to occupy themselves
with the matter. They were simply
signed by the Austrian and Hunga
rian Ministers as co-operative state
business. This action is part of what is
declared to be the crown's absolutism
in Hungary, which is dally taking more
extreme forms.
The street sales of all newspapers
have beon forbidden and the crown is
reported to have in contemplation va
rious other mcasuros destined to hin
der or destroy the ofllciency of the press
in reaching the public Oppression in
the autonomous county governments is
being continued. Public meetings are
boing forbidden and one cx-Doputy
has been arrostcd on the charge of
treason because of a speech which he

o Resist Assault.
SPRINGFIELD, O., March 1. After a
day of quiet from the mob which held
sway for two nights, tills evening was
ushered in with indications that more
depredations against the colored popula
tion of the city had been planned for to
night. Anticipating that the attack. If
made, would be in the vicinity of Section
street, a squad of soldiers was sent to
that locality at 7:39 o'clock. Just before
Its arrival a crowd of rioters sprang from
the house of Pear Howard, against whom
threats had been made. The house bad
been set on fire, but the troops sent in an
alarm and the structure was only slightly
damaged. The rioters escaped.
Soldier Fatally Wounded.
The first serious clash between the riot
ers and militia took place tonight on Sec
tion street, when a crowd of hoodlums
stoned Company I. Fourth Regiment. One
of the missiles struck Private Arthur
Stlmmel on the head, fatally injuring him.
The troops then charged the mob and dis
persed it.
The temper of the mob Is sullen and
threats are made that It will storm of
County Jail and release the rioters con
fined there. As a precautionary measure,
the machine guns and a company of troops
have been posted at the Courthouse and
jail.
A house at High and Ray streets re
cently occupied by negroes was fired to
night by rioters, but the names were
quelled before they had made great head
way. Two more companies of state troops are
held at Piqua in readiness for service here,
but the present outlook docs not indicate
that more will be needed.

Guarded by two companies of soldiers,
the prisoners, Edward Dean and Preston
Ladd. were brought here from Dayton to
day and taken to the City Hospital to be
identified by Martin Davis, the wounded
brakeman. Davis identified Dean, but
could not identify Ladd. When the iden
tification of Dean became known, mur
murings were renewed. The police learned
of threats against one or two factories
employing colored laborers. Threats aleo

Issued onlrr to arrest whole parties of
men who were found concrecatlns t one
place, and who. In r-ome instances, refusal
at nret to disperse, thut the disorder wan
brought into check laxi night. The plan
adopted by the military was to surround
a group of men and youths, and if they
did not immediately disperse, place them
under arrest and conduct them to head
quarters. The first result of this plan was the ar
rest of 1 rowdies by a sfuad of police
commanded by Sergeant Johnson. Within
half an hour Major Marshal, of the Fourth
Kegiment, rounded up another party of
nino and took them to headquarters. From
this time forward the crowds on the
streets began to disappear, and the disor
der ceased.
Two persons were injured during the
night. Sarah Thornton. Colored, sustained
a broken leg- by Jumping from a window,
and a 15-ycar-oW white boy. Or I a "Willis,
received a I sad of buckshot in his leg
while a crowd was aUmiijg a house in the
rear of St. Josefs Church.
The fact that the situaUon is no longer
regarded as serious is evidenced by the
announcement, ahartly after midnight,
that this morniftg the three local com
panies will be relieved, leaving only the
Urbana and Xcnla-ebmpanles on guard.
