WOMAN'S WAY.

How the Wives Of Strikers Prevented the
Moving of Trains.
CHICAGO, June 5.-There was a report
yesterday morning at Cummins that the
Rock Island road would move four cars
loaded with the nails made by the new men
Mt the Cummins nail works. AS several of
the strikers had been enjoned from inter-
fering in any way with tile working of the
mills, the removal of these cars was pre-
vented in peculiar way. Ten o'clock was
the hour when the engines were expected
from South Chicago. and before that hour
women and children to the number of 200.
the wives and families of former employees,
assembled with sticks in their hands around
the terminus of the railroad tracks and OPP
pOsite the entrance Of the nail works.
Female spies were sent down the track
towards South Chicago to apprise the
party of the engines approach. While
these were keeping guard a contin-
gent was dispatched to the residence OF
Tom Bethel. a nOn-uniOn man, who was
moving to COlehOur for safety. Mrs. Bethel
was alone, experimenting the packing of
the household goods, when she was startled
BY the beating of tin pans aud the widest
hootS and yeilS imaginable. Several win
dOws were broken by powders, and she was
berated rOundly by the women and children
until the police dispersed the party. They
returned to the depot, and at the same time
one Of the pickets came running brea:h.ess-
ly along the track, waving her shawl and
shouting: ITO the cars ~ This was the signal
of the approach Of the engine. Then there
was rush to where the loaded cars were
standing. Mothers with infants in arms and
dragging youngsters by the hand hurried
along. All ages were represented. The
mothers grouped their little ones along the
track some distance ahead of the first
freight car and packed them according to
age along the rails, the youngest toward
the approaching engines. the mothers and
srOwn-up daughters taking position in the
rear. The engine steamed up slowly a
short distance, but, seeing the living obsta-
ce on the track, reversed and returned to
South Chicago. Then the AnIazOns dis
persed. and OH their return jeered and
abused the representatives OF the company
at the gate calling them the most OpprO-
brious names. The infection of violence
was only prevented by the presence of the
police. At two O'clock, when the
engines appeared again. fully 1000
women and children were thronging the
tracks and apparently as determined as be-
fore to hold them. Captain Hunt with
sixty policemen from Hyde Park had re-
ported in the meantime and attempted to
clear the tracks, but could do it only with
great difficulty. The women. feeling sure
they would not be dubbed. refused TO move.
or moved very slowly when told to do 81
and closed up again on the tracks unless
absolutely held back by the officers. Late
in the afternoon they were still thrOnging
about the cars and the engines were unable
to get by them without killing them.

A Judge In Stripes.

LITTLE Rock. Ark. June 2.-Judge L.
W. Hooper, of MOnrOs County, was placed
in the penitentiary to-day to serve out a
two years sentence for forgery. Hooper
was formerly a leading and influential citi-
zen Of Monroe County. and two years ago
was elected county judge. He specialized
in the scrip of the county, and at last fraudu-
lently issued quite an amount. forging the
name Of the clerk. As county Judge lie
was one OF the right parties to issue the
scrip IN all cases, and the fraud was dis
covered only when the clerk checked up the
scrip issued and compared it with the
amount of the appropriations ordered.
Judge Hooper will join Col. Humphreys,
the crooked express agent NJ Hope, to NOR
row in the convict brick yard.
