GALESBURC.
The case Of the c. Il. & Q, road was very
much like that Of the Fort Wayne. The re-
bclion was subdued at Chicago, Burlington
Quincy and all along the line except at Gales
burg, where the company has large shops ana
employs about 1000 men. These continued
to stop all passing trains except such as carried
mails, even stopping passenger cars accom-
PAVING mail trains. Finally, on Tuesday
several military companies were sent there
and although the strikers affected to regard
them with great contempt, they began to weak
en- on the strike, because they were getting
no support from other divisions OF the road"
That night they held Il meeting, and after
prolonged wrangle, decided TO hold out no
longer, but that all might 20 to work or not as
they pleased. On this decision, on Wednesday
all went to work except 1870, who were paid off
and discharged, and that was the end Of trou-
bic on the c. B, Il q.

The above brief sketch, referring to but a few
leading points, really with little variation ap-
plies to all others where there has been any
railroad trouble, except Scranton, Pa. Here
about 5000 miners met on Wednesday to dis
cuss the question of rcsuming work, when the
men, by an infammatory speech or two, be
came so excited that they Swore they would
die sooner than begin before the companies ac-
cedcd to their demands They compelled all
the railroad employees to stop work with them,
and stopped the pumps of all the mines, so that

pacify them but was jcered at and knocked
down, upon which body of armed police fired
on the mob killing 3 and wounding a dozen

Happily Gov. IIartrNntt heard of the trouble
just as he was sending home his troops from

once sent two regiments to Scranton. They
found part of the railroad track torn up as
they neared the place, and large body of mi

every one that passed The soldiers charged
on and dispersed them, taking about 100 pris

week, rs mentioned in our last, had Il wonder

employees at the different machine and work

Friday The only sign OF disturbance was at
the West side street railway stables where the
blacksmiths and stock men undertook. TO
strike They gathered in squads and were
collecting quite a mob, when the police inter
fered and dispersed them. The men were
dismissed and others put in their places
The provision question was solved by the
arrival of several heavy trains of hogs and cat
tie at the stock yards. Most of the railroads
resumed business by making up and dispatch
the usual freight trains The Alton, Baltimore
& Ohio, C. B. & @, and Fort Wayne roads
were about the only important exceptions. OF

ST. LOUIS.

The mob at st. Louis which reached It's
height ahou, Thursday of last week, was made
up VERY much like that at Chicago-of tramps,
thieves, roughs, glitter snipes and hoodlums,
except that it was engineered and directed by
an executive committee of IntcrnatiOnals Com
muniss) who managed it with some system
and intelligence. 1t commenced in the usual
way of laying an embargo on all railroad
trains except such as carried mails and then
sent the mob around the city to compel the
street railway hands and the operatives III all
the factories shops, &c, to strike. This roy
ing mob was comprised largely of negroes, and
showed its peculiar devilishness by several at
Itempts to start large conilagrations, which,
however, were frustrated by the tiremen. Daily
meetings were held under the direction OF this
executive committee and addressed in milan
matory speeches by communistic leaders, chlel
among whom was man named LOtgrccn, a
mittee also issued orders to the mayor TO fur
Inish food for the mob and directed the Govern
or of the state to call Immediately an extra SEES
sion of the legislature to pass a stringent eight
hour law
About this time the merchants and business
men began to wake up, and called meeting,

1000 well armed men were put into the field in

PATRI0T-sCnRE i T0 LITTLE pride OF
GAr,T9k nA s91RH tIdf 81 !. T3hLof T3 THE TEMfLA
About 1850 persons gathered on the Astoria
grounds yesterday afternoon, for the purpose
of witnessing the return game between the
"Swampoodc Pets" and tho Babies and
wore rather surprised to sec the same imported
men who played in Tuesdays game occupying
the places of home talent, in contest for the
local championship.
The Astorias are not gaining any friends by
the course they are pursuing, and IL they want
10 play ball for amusement, as they say they
do, let them send Blogg Say and Smiley back
to Baltimore, where they belong, and supply
their place with local players, and they will
deserve success and make friends, instead Of
losing them. Another abuse to which stop
should be put is the practice Of playing q
man on one club to-day and another
Groves, who played with the Patriot
on Wednesday and against them yesterday,
his excuse being that he played conditionally
that IL the Astoria did not disband, as they
were about to, he should be allowed to go back
to them. This Is not sanctioned by any Of the
rules of ball playing, tho penalty for which is
the expulsion of the party so offending from
tho league.
The umpring Of Stearns was the best exhi-
bition in that line this season, and many COM
plimcnts were paid him for the admirable
manner in which he filled this most thankless
position, not adocision being questioned, which
Is rarity here.
The game commenced promptly at o'clock,
and at first 1t looked like q walk-over for tho
"Pcts," but in the sixth inning the Babies"
got the hang Of Groves pitching aud had no
difficulty in batting him where they liked, SO
that the finishing was as exciting as one could
wish for. In tho seventh inning tho score
stood II to IL, two men on bases, two hands
out and Tucker at tho bat hut he proved un-
equal TO the emergency, and was retired by
Say, who picked up his hot bounder and threw
him out at first the Astoria thereby winning
tho game by score of l2 to IL.
The Eagle had no difficulty in warming
| the Templars yesterday, the score standing Ia
to @. McGraw had his finger broken in the
second inning, which compelled his retirement
proving serious drawback to the cold water
advocates"

| This afternoon the Astoria (P) and Eagle

Tho Creighton and Templar meet on the
Olympic grounds at o'clock this afternoon fol
the purpose of playing the deciding game ol

matched good game may be expected Scats
will be provided, and detail of police will at
tend to the preservation Of order.
