THE RAILROAD STRIKE.
Matters Resulning Their Regular Chan.
nels-Men at Work.

ST. LOUIS, May 4.-Martin Irous, by
whom the Gould Southwestern Railway
system strike was ordered, when asked
about the effect he anticipated the method
OF ending the trouble would have on the
knights OF Labor, said: I'VE were fighting
for recognition, and we got it from Con-
gress,. which represents all the citizens
OF the United States. Is not that a COM
plete enough recognition? Our order will
grow, after this, even more rapidly than it
has during the past few weeks, when appli-
cations have been so numerous for char
ters that we could scarcely find time to
consider them" In addition to the circu-
lar issued last night by the General Execu-
tive Board Of the Knights, ordering
numbers OF district assemblies II, SO,
1Ol to apply to the railroad companies
for positions vacated by them when the
strike commenced, an order was sent to
Master Workman of each local assembly.
informing them that the strike had been
declared off, and ordering them to notify
all their men to make application for work
to-day. This order applies to Knights in
East St. Louis, This morning, at o'clock
at the headquarter OF the various COM
panies, ana the names OF many were i'm
mediately placed on the pay rolls.
Some few, recogn: n:zed as those who had
committed depredations on the company's
property, were denied unemployment. The
freight depots present an unusually busy
aspect this morning and the manifest un-
easiness of last month has entirely disap-
peared. It is expected that the milit a will
be withdrawn tonight, Or tomorrow. The
local committee OF Knights, which ordered
the employees of the Missouri Car Foundry
Company to strik", informed the men they
could report for duty in all departments OF
the works to-day.

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
Two Miners Killed by Giant. Powder
Explosion in the Lexington.

Among the numerous mining casualties
recorded in Butte's annals none IS more
shocking than that which occurred yester-
day afternoon at the Lexington property,
north Of the city. By it the souls OF two
miners were hurried to their Maker, and a
despairing widow and four fatheress chill
dren are left to the worlds charity.
The victims were John J. Lynch and
David McHyland, working miners. Yester-
day morning they went to work at a Cross
cut on the 8OO-foot level, and they were not
seen alive aiterward. At 3 p. m, when the
shift went to relieve them, both men were
found lying dead, and it required but
glance to ascertain that they were killed by
an explosion OF giant powder. The bodies
were lying close together. The back of
Lynch's head had been completely blown
away, exposing the brain, and McHy Hyland's
right side was gashed and torn in such
way AS to expose the intestines and liver.
Besides these fatal injnries, the bodies OF the
unfortunate men were covered with bruises
VIII re they had be n struck by flying
splinters OF rock.
forever remain mystery, as the two men
were isolated when it happerei. The most
plausible tn. ory. however, is that the men
placed charge OF powder which was slow
to explode and that when they returned to
examine it the fuse reached the powder
and sent them to eternity.
As soon as Coroner Whitiord was noti-
fed OF the accident, he summoned a jury
and held an inquest. The inquisition was
very brief, as the only witnesses examined
were the men who found the bodies, and
verdict OF accidental death was returned.
John J. Lynch was a native OF the
County Tyrone, Ireland, and about 40
yea 9 OF age. He came to Butte about
three years ago from Virginia City, Nevada,
and had been employed at the Lexington
from the day OF his arrival until the day OF
his death. He resided at Centerville, where
he leaves a widow and fo'r small children
to mourn the untimely death of a kind
husband and a loving father.
Daniel McHyland was born in America.
and came to Butte from Illinois about six
months ago. He was a single man, but
leaves father at Chicago. He WAS 33
years OF age. and resided at the Girton
House in this city.

the other responded. "lt is written here in

Quite a little crowd had gathered around
them by this time. The exponent OF palm
istry got enthusiastic at the field before
him, and flung out his prophecies right and
left. He did not wait to ask permission.
He just seized hand wherever he saw it,
peered into the palm OF it a moment, an
nOunced the lease of life for the man to
whom the hand belonged as authnrita-
lively as fate, and reached out for the
next.
His second grab caught the hand OF
George Poterie, the Greek painter whose
brush adorns the scenery down about tho
wharf.

this addition, after second glance: "Ah,

poverty of his garments indicated that il

had failed somehow to get his share.

twelve Chicago s. Alton cars broke in two.
one mile south OF Delavan, at 2:3O o'clock
this morning. The engine and cars ran

bankment thirty feet. Four unknown men
in the wreck were terribly mangled. A card
was found on one with the name OF L. H.

bearing the address OF John Woolf, Chi
cago. From two who escaped it was
learned u crowd OF ten started from Chi
cago. four got off at Bloomington, two

in the car Of lumber, and were crushed to
death by the timbers. The brakeman
jumped off and saved his life. The engi-
neer was new man and did not know the
grade.

POWDERLY PROCLAIMS
His Opinion of the Chicago Riots-Honest
Labor vs.. the Red Flag

His Opinion of the Chicago Riots-Honest
Labor VS.. the Red Flag.
SCRANTON, May 6.-General Master Work
man Powderly vigorously denounces the
CHICAGO Anarchists and their desperate
work. In the course OF an interview, he
said: The scenes OF bloodshsd and dis
order which have occurred in Chicago are
disgraceful and uncalled for, and deserving
OF the severesr condemnation and punish
ment. Honest labor is not to be found in
the ranks of those who march under the
red flag OF anarchy, which is the emblem of
blood and desClation. He added that it
was the duty OF every organization Of
workingmen in America to condemn the
outrages in Chicago in the name OF labor.
The wOrkingmen have more power
full weapon than the bullet in the
ballot. None OF the anarchist leaders
are Knights OF Lsbor, and ii any Knights
have taken part in any OF the murderous
proceedings they should be expelled from
the order. 'Our ORDER" he said, ''has NJ
antagonism with necessary capital, and it
is the duty OF every knight OF Labor to
support the laws made to harmonic capi-
tai and labor. There is not trades union
IN America that will countena nee wrong
doing or uphold these men in Chicago who
have been engaged In the destruction of life
and property. The aim OF trades unions is
to uphold and dignity labor, while the An
arcllists try to tear it down and degrade it.
Anarchy ia un-American and it has no busi-
ness in This country

Airs Its Opinions of the Strikes In Chicago
and Other Matters.
LONDON, May 6.-The London Daily
News says: "There is no need for fear that
the law-breakers in Chicago will overpower
the police. 1t becomes us, however, on this
side OF the Atlantic to consider how far we
are responsible for the savage emeute in
Chicago. The saddest charge that can be
brought against Gladstone is that all his
administration had abdicated in Ireland
the first function OF government which ia to
govern. The result is seen in the surrender
he fain would make to the irreconcilables
in America. The Chicago riot has shown
Us anew what manner of men the support
ers OF these Irish bills beyond the Atlantic
are. The Territorial Democracy of Amer
ica will make very short work OF anarchist
plots, once it has been aroused as it ie now
likely to be to action against them.'
AN UNFAIR DEDUCTION.
The Standard says: 1.-THE Chicago bombs
may originally have been intended for the
Car or the English Home Secretary, butit
is impossible to insure that such wars shall
be kept exclusively for orforeignc assumption.
When riots break out Congress will proba-
bly, have to depart from the easy laissez
ialrc which has prevailed with regard to
conspiracy against the peace and safety OF
other countries. The rioters belong to the
motley crowd that have fled from prison in
their own countries to work in America.
pending the construction OF an Irish Par
lament, to secure resting place."
VIEWS OF THE THUNDERER.
The Times says: "The riot in Chicago ia
sign OF American necessity now to con-
tend with all the difficulties which the
countries OF Europe have had to battle
with. 1t showed that Americans may have
before them greater troubles than those
with which we are familiar. The American
labor market is unable to absorb the un-
limited number Of recruits from Europe.
It Is a grave fact that America receives
numbers Of restless, unscrupulous spirits
from Europe, who freely use dynamite and
revolvers to gain their ends. One chance
OF safety, however, lies in the i"rt that
Americans are not bird to these dangers,
and nurse no visionary hopes as to the
best method OF averting them.''
