has not yet struck Maine; the ship

EASTERN DISPATCHES
Excitement In Chicago Rails OF
the Western Indiana Railroad
Torn LIN,

CHICAGO. September l5.-Thsre has
been considerable excitement today in
that part OF the South Side through
which the Chicago and Western Indiana
Railroad il attempting to gain entrance
to q convenient place for . passenger
depot. The company has secured .
State Supreme Court decision in Its
favor, has obtained several ipjunstions
restraining various railroad companies
whose tracks It will be necessary to
cross from interfering with its track
laying, and has purchased and on.
demned land which II needs, except Q
few small strips. Its opposition origi.
mates with the other railroad companies
whose tracks IL crosses and with some
OF the property owners along the route.
This 10 regarded Q in reality o great
contest between the Vanderbilt and
Gould interests, the Western Indiana
being also an entering road for the
Grand Trunk. and perhaps the Wabash.
List night the track was practically
completed a far north a. the Twelfth
street tracks OF the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy. The Michigan Central,
the Illinois Central and the Chicago
Railroads at Sixteenth street having
been crossed In spite OF considerable
opposition OF the roads above named,
this evening Q squad Of about twenty
employees Of the Western Indiana began
laying . track on the condemned land
north Of Twelfth street. They succeed.
ed in getting the track pretty nearly all
down, when some excited groups OF res
idents, composed mostly OF the lowest
classes, seized the rails. conveyed them
to one side. and piling up the ties made
q bonfire OF them. The police, under
instructions from Mayor Harrison, 70.
fused to interfere, and at midnight the
railroad drew of its force. The case
will be taken into the Superior Court
tomorrow. and 1t Is expected the com.
pany will ask for o warrant for Mayor
Harrison for contempt Of court. During
the melee two OF the workmen were
burt with bricks thrown by the mob.
Had there been resistance on the part OF
the track.layers o riot would probably
have occurred. The outcome OF the
fsht will be watched with great interest
