A BLOODY FIGHT ON 4 TRAIN
Bread or Blood.

ST. LOUIS, June 7.-Iaformatloa was
received here this morning that band
of 800 to 400 striking miners left Belle
Vile, ILL.,. this afternoon, bearing a
banner having the words Bread or
Blood" inscribed thereon in bold let
tiers. Nobody seemed to know their
destination or what their particular
mission was, but various theories soon
got into circulation, and one of them
was that the striking miners had gone
to PlneyvilIe to liberate the miners who
were put in jail there yesterday, in de-
fault Of bail, for rowdy conduct.
Another one was that they had gone to
Collinsville, where the Abbey and OF her
machine mines are situated, and which
we're the scene of the first riotous
demonstration made by the strikers
nearly two weeks ago. The latt ;,
theory is probably correct, as very late
tonight dispatches were received from
Collinsville stating that some strangers
had arrived in town who are regarded
as an advance guard of the main body
of the strikers. A dispatch has been
received from there that demonstra-
ton would probably be made at the
Abbey mines or Collinsville pits, but
whether hostile one or merely quiet
conference with the machine workmen
is not known at this writing.
CoLLINsvILLE, June S.-The striking
miners expected last night have not yet
turned up, and it begins to look as
though the reports of last night were
very much exaggerated, or that the
strikers, after moving out of Be:leville,
broke up and went quietly to their
homes.
Circus Panic.
CHICAGO, June There was nearly
a panic at the evening performance of
Barnum's circus. The place was COM
pletely packed with over Is, 600 people.
The grand entry was being made, when
one Of the elephants attached to the
chariots became frightened and went
believing around the ring, dashing into
the procession and smashing one or two
of the lighter chariots. To add to the
confusion, one of the lady charioteers
abandoned her horses and they went
dashing around the ring. The wild
beasts, frightened at the uproar, began
believing and beating about their cages.
The rest of the elephants became
frightened and unmanaseable. The
vast audience, composed largely Of
women and children, were great.
" terrified and rose from their
seats, and those near the exit made a
| rush, and there was a jam tor few
! moments. A general panic seemed in
evitable, bat the continued playing by
the band treasured the frightened null
tltude somewhat, and the employees sue
ceeded in getting the unruiy animals
cut and restoring quiet. No one was
seriously hurt.
