COMPARATIVE QUIET.
Fieldin Supposed to Have Shot
Himself.
An Old Shell Found In a Lumber
Yard.

There is no disturbance at Cummings ILL.,. the
location OF the large works theCalumet Iron
an Steel works., but 1t was greatly feared
that trouble would occur during Friday.
This fear was based on the report
that the Calumet Iron and Steel Com
pany were going TO bring number
of new men to the mills The strikers said
they We're determined the men should not go
TO work, Dave Scott, the station agent was
driven out of town by mob of the
strikers. Tho company filed a bill, and the
leading strikers have been cnjoinel by the
circuit court to keep away from the COM
pany's works.
Fielden, the Socialist, now under arrest,
was treated by DR.. Dexter. The doctor states
that, from the course of the bullet, Fielden
evidently shot himself while carrying his re-
volver.
The Arbeitcr Zeitung indirectly charges
that the dynamite which the police found in
their building was brought there by the Off
GERS themselves, 1t says: "Atter the police
had arrested the editors, they
carefully searched the building, but
found nothing, A short time after
they reappeared and arrested all connected
with the paper and, behold, they also found
dynamite. They are also said to have found
revolver and an old file. Indeed dreadful,
and this find is said to prove that the printers
are murderersn The writer then goes on to
say that the whole thing is conspiracy to
suppress the paper forever. In a conspicuous
part of the handful is printed the comments
of the New York Volks Xeitung on the an
rest of Schenck and Braunschweig in that
city.
An old fashioned shell was discovered in
the lumber yards of Charles Reitz at No, "a
North Canal street, this morning. 1t had a
percussion cap and was ready for use. 1t was
conveyed to the police station.
The blockade at Fortieth street crossing OF
the Western Indiana railroad was raised on
Friday morning at 10 O'clock. Up to that
hour eight engines and two trains had been
stopped. Special Officer Ballard of the Wa
bash railroad sent down 80 special officers
and soon trained them to throw the switches,
thus starting the trains. All the wounded
officers at the county hospital, with three ex-
ceptionS, We're resting comfortably this morn
ing, and showing signs of Improvement.
Mes and Jacob Hansen, Officer
Hedden was lying in the same
room with Flavin. He had improved some
what during the night, b it his recovery is
not yet assured Lelfelhardt, the man who
shot Madden, and who received two balls
from the officers pistol, was much worse.
His recovery is regarded as impossible, and
he looked like dead man as he lay stretched
upon his cot
tons this morning on nearly the basis prior
to the strike. On all the roads freight trains
are being sent out without molestation. The
officials of the Burlington road recently no.
titled the old employees to return to work OF
take their absolute discharge from the com
pany's employ.
No work whatever is being done at Pull
man, H.. all the men remaining out
Nearly the full complement of 400 men
We're at work at the Mccormack reaper works.
The labor difficulties have caused depres-
sion in business in Pittsburg, that is, perhaps,
doing more injury to the building trade than
to any other. II is estimated that nearly
500, 600 worth of business in Pittsburg and
Allegheny has been lost since the labor trou,
BILE began.
Builders and contractors complain about con
tlacts that have been broken; plumbers and
supply dealers, furniture and lumber men OF
orders that have been countermanded, and
the architects are idly waiting for orders fol-
plans. The iron and steel trade is su erIng
heavy loss from labor troubles. Orders
are being counterInandcd, and every one is
uneasy. Manufacturers are not buying
stock, and hold what they now have. The
advance i'll the price of ore and of coke and
the wages of the laborers, added to feeling
that the end has not come yet, makes all thu
iron men very shy,
