nav No freight trains, however, have
%oan sent out on the indianapolis or

INES. but im%perishable freight is being
Teceiyed for shipment east and west.
Tho p. c.. & st. l.. company is preparing
fnr a full resumption Of freight traffic
,n,norrow. The military arrived at
II An. About eleven companies are
- rnmain here and see that trains are
not interfered with further. Several
Cincinnati companies went on to New
ark where trouble is apprehended, as
soon as freight trains are regularly re-
.nmed. Quite a number of the leaders
IN thc disturbance here were arraigned
today and assessed heavy fines or sent
~ mil on long sentences. Vigorous eff
torts will be made to arrest all strikers
who may hereafter attempt to interfere
with trains. 1t is stated that trains will

WHOLESALE ARRESTS.
Specials from Springfield, Illinois, say:
Gov. Cullom says that he has adviceS
from sherilfs in all the counties where
there have been disturbances, hat all
persons who have been engaged in riot
Gus proceedings or interference with
railroad or other employees will be ar
rested and held to await the action of
grand %iuries, and that they anticipate no
resistance. The governor says that he
Is determined that all violators of the
law shall be put upon trial. He has or
dered all the militia to be relieved from
active duty and return home, but they
will be kept under arms, ready to re-
spond to a call.
Twcnty-six men, tiremcn, brakemen
and shop men, were brought here last
night from Urbana, and placed in jail.
They are undergoing trial before
Judge Treat, charged with contempt of
court in preventing the running of trains
on the indianapolis, Bloomington and
Western railroad, which is in the hands
Of a receiver of the United States Court.
By order of the court, Hon 8. James c..
Robinson and John Mayo Palmer, Of
tins city, and Mr.. Lathrop, of Cham
palgn, are conducting the defense.
TWENTY LEADING STRIKERS.
In addition to the twenty leading stri-
kers arrested at Urbana yesterday fore
noon, as noticed il these dispatches, six
others were caught in the afternoon and
the whole batch taken to Springfield.
Several have fled. Never we're Il set of
men more anxious to cover their own
racks. Assistant Superintendent Wood
informs your correspondent that many
oI these strikers have been employed
since the last reduction in wages, and
iuIly agreed to the terms. When they
began the strike, they notified Mr..
Wood in the night of their demand, and
gave the receiver until 10 o'clock the
next day to reply, Then, without wait
my, at SIX the next morning they pro-
teeded to take possession Of the road
and control everything. 1t is probable
uiat all who wore the strikers ribbon
Will have to hunt other work.

acted nobIy, stoutly denouncing all per-
