the train here the entire lot Of Pinkerton
men, together with some DO non-union-
workmen who were also on the train, were
arrested and locked up in the Harrison
street station.
From later accounts it appears that the
shooting was not confined TO one man, but
that all the Pinkerton men joined in the
fusilude. When the train passed through
a crowd at Halstead street, the men were
again greeted with jcers, when n large
stout man, with Ied face and clothed in 4
PinkcrtOn uniform, stepped out on the
back platform and fired his revolver into
the crowd. This was the signal for a gen

began to fire their rifles from the car win
dows Fully 30 shots were fired. Fences
and shanties along the track were marked
with bullets. Serious trouble is feared, as
the crowds are furious at the shooting and
VOW vengeance.

The Law Of the IiOad.

TURN TO THE RIGTT.--Thc most impor-
tant law of the road is, that when two Der.
sons in vehicles coming from opposite di
rcCtiOnS are about to meet, each shall
reasonably bear to the right of The middle
or travelled portion of the road, so that
they can pass each other without inter
ference, A traveller is not required to keen

he can drive where he plcascs or where the
going is best, so long as he turns to the
right when he meets another vehicle. If
the middle and usually travelled portion of
the road is very muddy, and for this or any
other reason persons are travelling along the
side of the road, then the one who is on the
left side of the road is in duty bound to
turn out. In Massachusetts it was held
that when the part Of the road which
is wrought for travelling is hidden by
snow, and II path is beaten and travelled
on the side of the wrought path, per-
sons meeting on such side path are each
required to drive their vehicles to the right
of the middle Of it. 1t should, howcS cr,
be remembered that this law of the roai is
not an absolute and infieXiblc one Cir
cumstanccs may arise which would Justly
deviation from it, and when they do arise,
traveller cannot stick blindly to the law,
and then claim damages if he is injured
In the crowded streets Of a metropolis
drivers are required TO exercise very great
care, and when the high degree Of care
dictates n departure from this law Of the
road then it is not only iustifablc, but Il
failarc to observe it might cut off ones
right to recover damages if he is injured
This turning to the right is just the opposite
of that III England, which requires all
drivers to turn to the left. The rule of
turning in England is based on lOng-hon-
Orcd custom; our rule is established by
statute in several States Of the Union.
Foot PASsENGERS.--All persons have
the same right to walk in the highway that
they have to drive there, and they have the
same right to walk in the middle of thc
street that they have to walk on the foot
paths at the side. When one is walking in
the wagon track, he must observe greater
care to avoid collision with vehicles. but
the fact of his being there is not of Itself

If they did. Foot passengers have The un-
