 ! (Sgned) CARTER H. HARRISON, Mayor l The situation at the freight houses of the l Northwestern and St. Paul is unchanged. ! Both roads are still handling small quanti- ties of freight and their tracks are under | strong police protection as danger threatens ! from the striking freight handlers and their sympathizers. There was great activity about the Milwaukee, St. Paul & Burlington | and Quincy depots this morning. The streets l were crowded with wagons waiting to deliver i their freight and about half force of men l were taking care of it as fast possible. The 1 switchmen are all at work and have assured 1 the managers that they will not leave their posts. The fine depots of the Fort Wayne, l Alton and Union lines are closed. The Wabash l brought twenty-five men here from Decatur | last night to take the places of the strik- l ing freight handlers. They were kept locked l up in car all night and this morning when | they learned the situation in the city refused to go to work They have no money and | their presence will not help the situation. 1 Inspector Bonfield and large force of | armed police broke suddenly in on a meet | ing of discontented freight handlers at 54 1 West Lake street this morning and by freely using their clubs sent the participants flying l in all directions. The freight handlers had | met to organize themselves into union so as to gain the sympathy and aid of the switchmen- .,-
 A subscription list for the aid of the fami- lies of the policemen killed in last nights | riot was in circulation on Change to-day. | Within hour about $4,0OO was | subscribed. MT. P. D. Armour head | ed the list with subscription of $500. Sev- | eral other wealthy members subscribed like | sum. Then a line of $250 donations followed. l At II 30 the fund amounted to $S, 800. One paper was kept on the floor to receive sig I natures while the other was being circulated ] among the large dealers in their offices The | subscription had reached $11 ,000 at D. 1 The man who threw the bomb at last ! nights riot was arrested to-day and is now | locked up at the Central station. His name l is Julius Carpenter. The police claim to have ample proof that he is the and
 Lieutenant Ripley says that the public need l have no more fear from bombs. The twenty l five printers who were arrested at the Ar | better Zeitung building were brought before Justice Much and held on the charge of mur- | der till May 14. Carpenter is said to be one of their number.
 1 Lieutenant Hubbard with twenty men made | ! sell, gunsmith on the fourth floor of the l building at South Canal street. About ! ninety old muskets were confscated and taken I to place of safety by the police. Several
 dozen of revolvers and other weapons were also taken.
 A committee representing 1 ,432 of the
 striking freight handlers waited upon Chief | Ebersold about noon and rendered their ser | vices as special policemen to protect proper ty. The chief thanked them for the spirit
 displayed, but said the regular force was suf- ficient to cope with the trouble.
 The situation tonight, while not actually
 of riotous condition, is one of grave appre-
 hension A feeling prevails that any mo- | ment may witness 8 renewal Of the horrible
 scenes of last night. The police in the dis
 turbed district are now armed with two navy revolvers and Winchester rifle each and
 they are not disposed to trife with the riot
 ers The spirit of the police may be appre-
 ciated when it is stated that Officer Kelley,
 who was painfully wounded in the left hand
 by the dynamite bomb last night, reported
 for duty this morning. The officer says he
 can still wield club or press the trigger of
 a revolver.
 | About noon to-day 8 squad of officers wis l ited the office of the Arbeiter Zeitung and
 arrested the entire force, Editor Spiess and
 all. They were immediately committed for ! trial on May A on the charge of murder and bail refused. Rosenfeld's drug store, which
 was mobbed by anarchists this afternoon, is complete wreck. What was left of the stock and fixtures was
 carted off to place of safety l At times the spectators became so obstreper- l ous that the services ot & dozen policemen
 were required to prevent them destroying the wagons. After all the goods had been removed the crowd became bolder.

 1 exhaustion and others suffering from

 l where two patrol wagons were awaiting

 | and then a hurried run to Eighteenth stree

 jar wagons coming down upon them at

 ran into their hall, crawled under the side

 themselves in the pavement. The officer
