q huge club, iron bar or some other nipple
ment of warfare. The men were formed
into line, and at order, Forward. march. 4"
proceeded IN the direction of Bav View,
raising the cry as they went, XIII the
militia and burn the milisi' Being ap-
pFised of the mob's coming, Mai. Tran
emer ordered the four companies under his
command from inside the rolling
mills enclosure where they had been
in camp during the night, and sta
toned them in the best position to check
the advancing mob. The encounter took
place at 40 O'Clock in the morning. TIE
mob. I.500 to . 600 strong, marched into
flags. The militia, consisting of four com
panies of the Fourth battalion and the two
GAINESVILLE companies, were drawn up OF
high ground inside the fences, facing to the
northwest. As the mob reached the viCin-
ity of South Bay street and Lincoln ave
nue., the command to fire was given and all
six companies fired. The mob quickly dis
persed and fell back towards the city,
leaving a number of its members lying
wounded on the ground.
The result of the firing was that tv o men
were killed instantly, three others died
during the day and sixth cannot recover.
The wounded largely exceed Il g killed but

riots, was placed under arrest. He is
socialist and professional agiiatoT.

Labor Trouble Notes.

General Master Workman Powderly, of
the Knights Of Labor, acting under the
authority vested in him by the general eX-
ecutive board. has issued a call TO the
various assemblies of the oTderfor a speciai
session of the general assembly. to he held
in Cleveland, Ohio, Tuesday, May p. The
cause leading to the calling of the session
are gwen as fOllOws;
First-The rapidly increasing membership
of the order requires changes in the laws
which the general executive board have no
authOrity To make.
Second-rhe laws in relation TO the gov
eminent of bOycOtting are wholly made
quate to compel obedience on the part OF
assemblies that believe in boyc1ttiUg for
every Offense, whether great or small.
Third-The laws in relation to strikes do
not give the general executive board power
10 interfere in such matters until after the
strike has been inaugurated.
FOurth-The order has become involved
in difficulties with trade societies, aud an
effort is being made TO create a rupture be-
tween these societies and the Knights Of
Labor
The strikers in Chicago and Milwaukee
have quoted down wonderfully. There
has been quite a general concession of nine
hours pay for eight hours work though in
a good many cases the workmen have re-
turned at old rates and ten hours time.
In quite "a number of instances eight hours
work and eight hours pay mas been agreed
upon.
During the Chicago strike riots the mebs
raided a drug store and drank every thing
which looked or smeiled like whiskey. The
result was that they were ''d1sedn W it'll
wine of calcium, a deadly poison. and half
a dozen are already dead. About twenty
are likely TO die as the result Of the drug
store raid.
Seventeen hundred mer employed at the
Deering Harvester works in Chicago have
struck for ten hours pay for eight hours
work, double pay for over work, and % per
cent. advance on piece work.
The men at the Pullman car works near
Chicago to the number of 600 went ont on
a strike for eight hours on the 5th.
The strike of the freight handlers at
Chicago has ended aud shipments are being
made as before.
