Comr ell ed to sto- Work.

About 1000 strikers in Fast st. Louis form
ed about noon the other day and marched to
the Ohio and Mississippi railroad depot where
q number OF men were nj work, and force
every man 10 leave work. The mob then ad-
vanced on the Nandalia yards There a few
equities were on duty, who ordered the men
back. They refused and made rush, bearing
tie officers down and swarmed through the
gates into the yards and forced all tue en-
ployes at work out of the yards. from this
place they marched TO the Chicago burling-
ion ~ {, uincy yards, where similar scene was
enacted, and all the employees forced out The
men then rushed IN 10 the Chicago " Alton
,aids, and upon arriving there were met by
strong force of deputy marshals armed with
Winchester repeating rifles. They ordered the
mob baci and called uron them to dispcrs,.
This the crowd refused 10 do, and upon at
tempting 10 rush through the gates the mar
shals brought their rifles 10 their shoulders
and threatened TO fire If the crowd advanced.
This cooled their ardor somewhat and they
turned back, none the less determined, how
ever, that there should be no more work
done in that city while the Knights
Of Labo are still on their strike.
The mob then marcled TO q Cairo short line
Yards where hv the anne tact cs they compelled
the men employed there 10 Quit work. The
mob then dispersed, having accomplished their
OBJ ect. All The yaids are now deserted, and
10 business is icing dore In anv OF them.
Adi.-Gen. Van - was a spectator OF the
action of the mob in forcing the men employed
IN tie railroad yards to Quit work, anu he at

of $1,000 for the apprehension and
conviction of the murderer. No further clue
was obtained aside from footprints leading
from the barn. A private citizen advanced
the theory OF suicide and has worked out Il
perfect chain of evidence that conclusivcly
proves that Gregory shot himself. The foot
prints were exactly fitted by the shoes that
Ramsey wore on the night of the tragedy; His
revolver has been found and the cartridges
that fitted it. His motive in taking his own
life has been accounted for and every thing is
satisfactorily explained.

frugally, and is eminently buslness-like.
She claims to be, and probably is, the
wealthiest woman on the stage.
Her dollars are estimated as totalling
up t. considerable more than clear
million. Most of the money is held in
the name of her mother, Mrs. Crabtree
who has b en- her daughters business
manager ever since she appeared on the

speculate with. He lost the whole of
