A PLUCKY PRIEST,

Prevents a Murder and Saves
a Workman from a Crowd OF
Strikers.
YoNKERs, n. Y, Aug. 18.-Fre-
quent fights have occurred during the
past few months between strikers and
men who remained at work in the car
pet mills of Alex Smiths sons, and at
times the trouble has assumed the
form of riots. Yesterday, while
four workmen in the mill
were returning home from work, they
we're attacked by a crowd Of strikers,
who threw stones and bricks at them.
The four men were able for a while to
keep their a~ssailants at a distance, but
finally one of the workmen, named
Shipman. was compelled to draw his
revolver. "Near the parsonage of st.
Joseph's Catholic church." Shipman
says, Il was hit on the head with a
stone by a striker named John Hogan,
and Jack Welsh, another striker, hit
me with his fist. turned and fired my
pistol at Hogan, but did not hit him.
| tried to fire again, but the pistol
didn't go off. had the pistol ready
to shoot again, when | heard some one
call out, put up that pistol or you are
a dead man. / then saw Rev. Anthony
Malloy pointing a gun at me from a
two-story window Of the parsonage
l put the pistol in my pocket and hur-
ried along, with the crowd bowling
after me. l was soon oyertoken by
Father Malloy, who dispersed the
crowd, disarmed ard took me to the
station.house for safekeeping."

THE RIRL REBELLION.
Much Depends on General Middiston WIN
ming n Victory Over the Ralf-
Breeds.

ST. PAUL MINI, May lin an interview
with an Associated Press reporter last night,
John McLsne, of Bismarck, OAK, ust re-
turned from Winnipeg, where he had been
delivering horses. teams and supplies to the
Canadian Government, said: The govern
ment has advices that men from Chicago.
New York and Boston are with Riel, and that
q master mind, not RiePs, is directing the
movements of the half breeds. Old timers
regard General Middleton's success at Bat
touche as absolutely necessary to prevent the
Indians from uprising en- masse. Supplies
are short, and about all come from this side
of the line. North Dakota is near being
drained OF horses, oats, etc. 1t is believed
there ere about / 500 half-breeds in the field.
Six thousand Indians are ready to take the
war path, and but 4 coo troops to oppose
them"
General Crooks, one of the heroes of Min
nesota Indian wars, and Judge OF the mill
tary commission that condemned 800 Sioux
to death, thirty eight OF whom were hanged
at Mankata shortly after the massacre there,
was interviewed by an Associated Press re-
porter this evening as to the outlook for a
general Indian uprising in the North west
Territories, because of his familiarity with
the Indian character. He Gays Middleton
must achieve decisive victory, or all the
Indians will have on war paint in a week.
Should the half. breeds achieve q signal vic.
tory over Middleton, the result could be but
most disastrous He said the best plan of
attack, from this distance of observation,
would be to weaken the works by shot, scat.
ter the breeds by shell from the front and a
flank, have Irvine fall in upon the rear with
bis 500 mounted police force, throw the en-
emy into disorder, mass them If possible.
then rake them with Gatlings, rifles, and
shot and shell until disordered, then storm
their works This would doubtless cost many
good lives, as the enemy are nervy and tiue
shots, being train ed hunters, but the end to
be attained IS so desirable and necessary that
the troops must be sacrificed, other wise tue
whole country would be swept by savAges.

A FIRE THAT SCARES CHICAGO,
And Destroys Acres of Pine Lumber-An
Aggregate of $4,000, 900 Feet burned
Valued at 500, 900.

CHICAGO, May s-Shortly after noon to-
day a spark from passing locomotive set
fire to the heart of the great pine lumber
yard district which lies along both sides of
the south branch of the Chicago River, and
near the southwestern city limits. Border
ing upon this district is wooden built por.
ton OF the city known as Bridgeport and
the Union Stock Yards, with its acres of
wooden buildings and pens filled with cattle
and sheep. A fierce wind was blowing from
the west and the flames spread with great
rapditY. The entire fire department was
called out and began fighting the famss bat
the twenty or thirty streams of wa'er which
could be thrown upon them had little or
effect as far IS staying their progress was
concerned. The dry pine boards and
shingles were piled TO great heights, with
only narrow lanes between being left for
wagons to pass through. The narrow inter.
stices between the piles furnished unusual
facilities tor the progress of the flames, while
they broke the usefulness of the streans
OF " ater and prevented 1t from penetrating
to the blazing pine in the center CT the piles.
The news of the fire suread rapidly to the
business center OF the city and created much
alarm lest the fire should assume proportions
approaching those of the great confiagration
of 1871, which came from the same direction.
Great brands were carried forward by the
wind, setting fire to new piles, and several
fire steamers and the men manning them
bad narrow escapes from destruction. Start.
ing upon the west side of the river, the
flames ate up all the lumber betwesn Tnirty
fifth and Thirty.eighth streets. an area of
apcut 4O0 by . 600 feet. 1t set fire to a ca nal
boat mt ored at the dock, and it hoated
across the river, which is $50 feet wide at
this point, and set fire to the lumber on the
east bank, which covered about an equal
area, and this. with one or two planning mills,
was consumed. Brands were carried east
ward and set fire to several small frame
houses occupied by employees in the lumber
district. The fire department, however,
mace stand at this point and succeeded
in preventing the spread OF the flames
into the residence district. The fight
continued throughout the afternoon,
and it was nearly o'clock before the con-
hagration was brought under control, hsv-
ing practically burned itself ont to the
limits Of the immediate district in which it
began. heavy rain during most of the
afternoon was of material assistance. Toe
sggregste of lumber destroyed was 45 COG. 0J0

last week was exhumed to-day and positively

mains of his brother Phillipo. francesca is

ly importuned him for O sufficient amount
to pay his passage over. The murdered man
was last seen in company with Gilario, and

formed and then strangled by hand. De-
tective BoDfeld, OF Chicago. left for New
York this afternoon TO head off Gilardo and
Coruso went back 10 Chicago to secure the
arrest of the accomplices there.
