 l CHICAGO, May 4.-The lawless element is
 still industriously at work in the lumber dis
 trict. One or two threatening crowds were
 dispersed this morning by the police without
 bloodshed. The police entered upon theil
 service with spirit. This afternoon in a rair
 storm about seven hundred strikers marched
 upon the paint works of Cary, Ogden & Par
 ker, 276 to 2S4 West Eighteenth street. The
 four special policemen on duty were pelted
 with ston es and bricks and soon fled for theil l lives. One of them stumbled and fell and
 while lying on the ground fired into the ap-
 preaching rabble. The rioters halted for 8
 moment until one of the leaders waved a
 rusty sabre over his head and urged his com panions to kill the prostrate officer About
 this time the Hinman street and Twelfth
 street patrol wagons rattled down the street. When the blue vehicles neared the rioters ! the officers took aim and fired volley l after volley over the strikers heads. The l effect was amusing. Men with their pock- cts filled with stones and men with Slavonic boards and wooden swords huddled behind barricades no more substantial than picket 1 fence; the others darted down Eighteenth street to Carter avenue near which is a sort | of fho n6S nf ion strikers in the neighborhood. Here the mob
 made desperate stand. Officer Small of the Hinman street station leaped out of his wagon and started after one of the leaders of l the riot, who was yelling to his comrades to | blow the police up with dynamite. He ran l into the cro wd and grabbed the anarchist by | for help. The rioters surged about the officer and his struggling prisoner and then | fell upon the former with stones and clubs. | Officer Small to defend himself fired several | shots into the crowd, but without effect. The | shooting then became hot. SmalFs comrades l ran to his assistance, but before he res cued from his perilous position he was shot \ through the hand. His prisoner escaped. Reports of exploding cartridges came from | every quarter and the air was filled with
 smoke. "Kill the hireiings," bawled a man with red whiskers as he pointed an ancient ! could pull the trigger Detective Granger ! struck his hand and the weapon fell to the | ground. The mob then pounced upon Gran l ger and dragged him into che muddy street l stone hit him ill the forehead and he fell | The remainder of the officers fired score ot
 shots into the bowling crowd and one man f was seen to drop, but his comrades picked l him up and hurried him away. The sight | vf bluud .solued Lu fill tine riotersf with fear ! and they fled precipitately. The officers l charged upon them and captured seven of | the leaders, who were taken to the stations. | Rain had fallen constantly during the fight. ! After the officers had departed with their | prisoners the clouds rolled away, but it was | not until nearly dark that the rioters crept I out of their dens and skulked along the l streets. They carried clubs and slungshots. l No officers being in sight they loafed around | until dark and then resumed their restless l proving about the streets.
 At 7:30 o'clock two ''scabs" employed at | the Mccormick works had the temerity to | walk east on Eighteenth street to Central ! avenue. Two rioters bounced upon them \ and threw them to the ground. Other rioters then came up and began to beat the pros trate scabs with clubs. The screams of the | unfortunate men were heard by Officer | Quigley, who ran to the rescue, but was l driven back. A shot fired by rioter | and then cobblestone struck the officer in l the breast, felling him. He regained his feet | and turned in an alarm to the Twelfth street \ station. Five minutes later twelve officers
 leaped out of patrol wagon and cleared the | street.
 | Very little freight was handled by the railroads day The Chicago Burlington ! SS Quincy received what little freight was offered and their men were not molssted. A 1 visit of the strikers to the St. Paal depot re- | suited in all of the men employed 1 there, some two hundred and fifty, quitting work. At the houses of the Lake Shore l full force of handlers are at work pending an answer from the company. The | Rock Island houses were closed to day and | the Wabash under protection of United | States malshals handled freight in a small | way. At the Grand Trunk fifteen members of the G. A. R. did guard duty. The Balti- ! more & Ohio men have given their officials
 until Friday night to answer their demands l The Fort Wayne has suspended work en- | tirely to care for that which is perishable. ! At the stock yards all the large packing houses have adjusted satisfactorily their differences with their employees The six
 hundred employees of J. s. Kirke x Co. g | soap factory have accepted the offer of ten | hours pay for nine hours work. Twenty I three foundries have acceded eight hours l work with eight hours pay and the remain der of the firms with five exceptions are ne- gotiating
 great deal of turmoil occurred this morn | ing at Armour's glue factory, situated st Thirty fifth street and the river. The two 1 hundred employees in the factory went out yesterday and they with their sympathizers l and strikers from other factories in the Vii
 cinity have been hanging about the locality. | About 10 o'clock the different crowds merged l into one and started for the glue works. For
 a while it looked as if matters would result l in rot. The police were sent for, howev' CT, and thirty of them charged the crowd. The strikers could not stand the onslaught of the blue coats and scattered in all dlrec
 tions. Nine were captured, however, ano
 locked up.
 Another incipient riot was reported to the l police which occurred at the Milwaukee and
 St. Paul freight house at Western avenue
 and Ohio street. The timely arrival of the
 police prevented serious damage being don' and some of the assailing party were arrest | ed At noon about twenty-five persons were l locked up at the West Chicago avenue sta l ton.
