The Strike at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-No disturbance
worthy of mention at the stock yards
has occurred to-day. Armour Il Co.,
report 800 cattle slaughtered in their
establishment. 1t is now known that
the strikers committee presented their
demands to the packers yesterday.
They asked for the eight hour system
and the scale of wages slightly less
than the one in force for ten hours.
The packers refused to entertain the
proposition, and the strike was ordered.
The strikers sent the committees
around to-day to induce the men still
at work to quit. In many instances,
especially with firemen, and engineers,
the attempt was successful. A number
ofpackers held a conference in Ar
mour's office to-day, but declined to
talk about the proceeding. Several
largely attended meetings of the
strikers were also held. The deputy
sherifls did not leave their barracks
during the day. All detail work is
being done by the regular Town Lake
police. A great majority ofthe strikers
remained away from the yards. One
hundred or more deputy sherifis ar
rived in the evening, making the total
force 500.

James and Charles-mct Wiggcr and
renewed the quarrel. After some hot
words McCabc senior attacked his old
enemy. The latter drew his revolver
d fired, innicting fatal wound. The
wounded mans sons then produced
their weapons, and after the exchange
of few shots Wigger sank to the
ground shot through the body and
died. The McCabe boys were arrested
and lodged in Jail at this place.

Romance and Devotion.

WAsHINGToN, Nov. 10.--Regularly
once a month the figure of woman
closely yelled is seen in Mcpherson
Square, usually about twilight. She is
'fgood figure and quite prepossessing.
She will sit on one Of the park scttees
for a few moments while her gaze is
rivcted upon the magnificent eques-
trian statue of the deceased general.
Twenty-six years ago Miss Emily Hoff-
man, one Of the richest bellies of Balti-
more, while visiting out west met and
fell in love with Gen. Mcpherson and
they became aflianced. The general
was engaged in the war and could not
spare time for the wedding, besides
the well known southern sympathies
of the Hoffmans was another cause of
the postponement Of the wedding. The
dark days of strife continued, and the
general fell in battle with the minia-
turc of his sweetheart pressed to his
breast. The lady never recovered
from the shock and regularly visits
the statue of her hero.
