tive Committee Of the Workingmen's
party Is in session. The strikers say that
they expect to stop all the manufacturing
establishments.
A crowd Of $500 people gathered at
the Union Depot at 1 r. NJ, but nothing
Is doing there. The only passenger train
which passed East over the bridge this
morning was the Toledo, Wabash q

tiOn in favor OF that road because oi lie

drawn, which the strikers refused 10 per.
NIT to be drawn.
Parker, the foreman, started to draw it
himself; the strikers stopped him and he
struck one Of them with crow.bar. A
fight ensued and the police were called
in. Sergeant RoehOw responded and at.
tempted to defend the foreman, but was
driven of with stones and the crowd was
left in possession Of the works.
The Union Stock Rolling Mills and
Malleable Iron Works, on the South
Side, have been closed and their 500 hands
are idle. The mob was making, at last
reports, for McCormicks great reaper
works, and will there meet with opposi.
tion. A gang are running the street cars
into the stables on the South Side as fast
as they come in. The North Side mob is
the most disorderly, and is busy breaking
windows wherever resisted. The Phoenix

proprietors have called for United States
troops. The troops will arrive this after.

CHICAGO, July 25-1l:l5 p. M,-The
night so far has been one Of excite
ment and trouble. The meeting which
was TO have been held by communists
on Market street, was broken in ia incip
iency by good force OF police. After q
battle with stones and sticks on our side
and blank cartridges and biIlies on the
other the mob ran away at last, but moi
without notifying the police that they
would have revenge. The mob lher
broke open gun shop on the West
Side, taking some 50 guns and quantity
OF ammunition. About o'clock a bloody
row began at the corner OF 10th and Hal
sted streets, where the police in attempt,
ing TO disperse the crowd were oyerpow
cred and compelled to take refuge in The
round house Of the Chicago, Burlington
4 Quincy railroad. They were soon re.
iniorced and made stand on the Halsted
at rect Viaduct, where the crowd became
aggressive and a regular battle ensued
which has just been concluded. The DO

considerable effect. They killed a young
man named Pat Cooney, striking
brakeman, and fatally shot Ed. Nc
Geary; besides this is or lG were
more or less wounded; how severely can
not be ascertained nj this hour. The

Hanging OF Jules Guidrer

LAKE CHARLES, La, July 25.-Jules
Guidrey, condemned for the murder OF
John, Beale, was executed here to-day on
the square adjoining the Jail. He was
handcufied and mounted the scaffold at
20 minutes OF o'clock, assisted by the
Sheriff and a friend, accompanied by a
young priest. Guidrey during his prison
life gave himself up apparently to reli.
gious instruction. He was sent to New
Orleans parish Tor safe keeping because
a rescue was feared. lie arrived here on
the 18th. Since he has been here he has
borne himself bravely. He was very firm,
cool and determined, but constantly de.
clared he ought not 10 die for the killing
Of Beale, for Beale had seduced his vile
and ruined his home and childrcn's fu.
ture. Guidrey behaved on the gallows
in a desperate and daring manner. He
addressed the crowd. and said that he
had killed John Beale, and he would do
it again to-day; that he ought not 10 die
for 1t; that he would die like man, but
he did not care to die. Father Charles
said few words ofprayer. He nodded his
head as il asserting; turned to his friend
on the scalEold, and said: II am firm, liam
not afraid to die" He said what G. G
Dnsou had testified to in court was not SO.
He continued, talking loud to the crowd,
declaring his indifference to death, and
That he would do the same crime again.
When the black cap was put over his
head he cried out, why, l can see every
thing. The rope was adjusted and the
slip-knot tightened, when he said, not 80
tight, but put the knot more on the side
Of my neck. As the Sheriff took up the
axe to cut the rope, he cried out, jeering.
ly, can see, you are going to cut the rope
and in few seconds more, whilst the
condemned man was saying he did moi
care, the axe fell, the rope parted, and
Guidrey died almost instantly. The fall
was fully eight feet, if not more.

PITTSBURGH, July 25-.The city re-
mains quiet, and the precautionary efforts
Of the Citizens Committee against any
further outbreak have had an excellent
effect.

having followed the Philadelphia troops
on their retreat out Penn avenue on Sun,

arrested aud jailed. He is a native oI
Pittsburgh.
A large number OF rioters and incen

Valley are out, and they, together with

soon. A close estimate OF the provisions
in the city shows but ten days rations.

by water possible. Some of the street
car lines are reduced to "a hours feed for

Paying the Piper.

We hear, says the Cleveland Leader, oil
some parties who are unable to under.
stand the Justice Of law which provides
that States and cities shall be held re-
sponsible for the projection Of property
from mobs and rioters.
The case will be plain il they will con
slider for a moment the most obvious pur-
pose Of human government, that Of mu.
tual protection. 1t is simply that which
makes government necessary. In the
primitive ;age Of man, it is probable
that the individual families were indepen,
dent and distinct. Then, for greater pro,
lection, they banded together in tribes un'
til finally nations were organized. What ia
the chief benefit derived by the citizen oI
the State Of Ohio or New York from the
fact Of living Under an'enlightened gov
erument? Simply the protection Of his
life and property by law, What is il
that he buys when he pays his taxes
submits to the restrictions OF law, oil
shoulders his musket in time OF war and
risks his life for his country? He buys Il
policy in great mutual insurance com
pany, which Is the State, in which every
citizen is a pOlicy.holder, and agrees tc
give his taxes and his services TO aid ia
protecting all tie ta1able property in the
State from violence and destruction. The
State which taxes mans property, drafts
him us soldier, and imposes laws and
restrictions upon his rights and liberties
-Opns that eilisen in certain sense-and
and is bound by the very fundamental
principles Of human law and Justice to
protect his life and property from unjust
assault.
And so when the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company paid taxes on its property
within the cooperative limits OF Pitts
burgh, tagged its crossings, and in other
respects complied with the requirements
Of municipal law, it had insured itselI
agains the destruction Of that property by
mobs. Now that the public authorities
have failed to protect the company's
property, the Taxpayers will have to pay
for it. This will add from three TO iiv'
million dollars to the public debt o
Pittsburgh, and hang another mill
stone to the prosperity of the city
under the weight Of which the whole
community will stagger for years. Evi
IDENTIFY, this kind Of revenge does not pay
in any sense. The rioters have not even
the poor consolation Of having punished
the corporation that they hate, for the
company will go into court and collect
pay for its losses. 1t is as though party
Of men should seek to spite another mar
bykillingihis horses or cattle, and then bt
compelled to pool in and pay the owner
for his slaughtered stock. This kind o.
vengeance kicks harder at the bl leech thar
itshOots at the muzze.
