Boycotting Defined.

II the presence of a large audience, com
prising many of the leading members OF
the local bar of Milwaukee, Judge Sloan
delivered an opinion on the motion to
quash the indictment of Robert Schilling,
state organizer of the knights of labor,
who is on trial on the charge of conspiracy
and making threats in connection with
boycotts. AS Judge Sloan practically held
that boycotting is a crime punishable I'M
der the statutes, the decision has created
lively interest.
Judge Sloan ruled that since Schilling
threatened to put the vast machinery of
the knights OF labor in operation to
prevent the public from patron
izing the firm bJycotted he in
jured the firms income, which was as
much property as machinery or buildings,
and that to attempt to dictate to them
against their will whom to employ or dis
charge was parallel offense. Gall organ
izations of the kind seeking to interfere
with the business of manufacturers or
others are not in accordance with law"
said the judge. "Laborers OF capitalists
may organize for their own protection,
but have no right to take the aggressive.
In our social and industrial life and our
government, the socialist, the anarchist.
and the boycott have no place."

a Mail Pouch Opened and its Contents Stolen

man foucn opened ana us contents Stolen
A daring burglary was perpetrated in
Ann Arbor, Sunday night, June "a, in
which "a mail pouch was robbed of its con
tents. Train Q of the Central road, due at
l0;2S from Detroit, pulled into the depot
simultaneously with the train from the
west, and mail pouches from both trains
were thrown OIL and placed upon the bag
gage truck by Matthew Sullivan, mail
messenger, who wheeled them into the
baggage room, locking the door. When he
returned few minutes later he discover
ed the door had been pried open and one
OF the mail pouches distracted. Mr.. Sulli-
van searched for the missing article, but
could find no trace of it, He reported the
occurrence to Postmaster Duffy, who or
dered a thorough search made. The mis-
sing pouch was found about a hundred
yards from the depot by some boys on
the river bank, riAed of its contents
and mutila.ed, and lying in a mass of filth.
The letters were piled up and stamped in
to the dirt. The pouch was taken to the
postofce and an effort is being made to
arrange the letters in presentable shape.
The letters show that they have been
Systematically opened, and by no novice.
1t is difficult to state the amount of money
stolen, but it is undoubtedly quite large,
as at this season Of the year many of the
university students receive considerable
cash, mostly inclosed in letters.
Postmaster Duffy is of the opinion that
the work was done by persons posted on
mail matters. He telegraphed the depart
ment at Washington for instructions, and
was advised by Acting Inspector Maynard
to report to the Chicago Inspector. He
meanwhile will make strenuous efforts to
bring the guilty parties to justice. He
has an important clue, and suspects who
the culprits are. The affair causes SEN
sation

Bent on MAKING Trouble.

An interview with a well known west
side resident of Chicago tend to show that
the anarchists have not been at oil sub.
dued by the happenings since the Hay
market riot. The gentleman claims that
within the last month, at least fifty shoot
ing galleries have been opened within a
neighhorhood mile square in the
Bohemian quarter. These places are much
frequented by the Bohemians, crowds Of
whom can be found at target practice
every night. 1t has also been learned re-
Gently that large numbers of Bohemians
and others are drilling secretly in various
places. When asked what he knew OF
their numbers the gentleman replied:
mot man less than 900 are well drilled,
but don't think the drilled men will ex-
coed 200 In number.

Pension for a Heroine.

Senator Palmer recently introduced a
meritorious bill TO pension Mrs. Hooks,
of Washington, formerly Miss
Anna Ethridge, native OF
Detroit The bill names $50 a month and
il will no doubt go through congress with
out delay, as she was one of the heroic
spirits of the war. She was known as
Gentle Annie" and was nurse with the
Third and afterwards with the Fifth
Michigan regiment, serving all through the
rebellion without compensation. She was
in twenty EIGHT battles and skirmishes,
and had two horses killed under her.
When soldier fell wounded she imme-
diately dismounted and bound up his
wounds and afterwards acted as nurse i'm
the hospital. She was awarded the
"Kearncy Cross" for CONSPICUOUS gal
lantry and devotion TO the cause of the
union. Anna Etheridge was the celebrat
ed nurse of the war and at the bloody bat
tie OF Charlottesville she rallied the de-
moralized regiment and with three cheers
from the gallant woman the soldiers rush
ed back into the thickest of the battle.
The late Gen. Hancock wrote that this
lady's services on the field Of battle were
marked distinction Her reputation for
devotion to the sick and wounded under
circumstances of privation and danger ex-
cited the most enthusiastic admiration.
After the war she secured e clerkship in
the L. :. treasury, but was removed in
1873 upon her marriage to Mr.. Hooks, a
one-lcgged soldier.

An Exciting Race.

Shortly before noon on Saturday,
June 26, two locomotives emerged from
the round house Of the Lake Shore road in
Chicago, and were switched on to the
main track at Root street crossing. There
they were coupled on to two cabooses and
started on their way toward Englewood.
They were preceded by Capt Marley with
his platoon of town Of Lake police. On
the engines and cabooses were grouped
specials, others marching alongside. The
whole was irresistibly suggestive of a fun
eral procession On moved the cortege,
Slowly and cautiously, the platoon of po-
lice clearing the way in front, and the pail
bearers on either side keeping back the
dense crowd that surged about il.
Tom Collins made an address to the en-
gineers as the locomotives passed Root
street, urging them to turn back but no
pause was made. The speed was increased
and finding it impossible to keep up with
the engine, the strikers borrowed" two
engines of the New York Central road and
chased the Lake Shore train. No effort
seemed to be made by the latter to escape,
and just beyond Englewood the pursusng
train caught up with the others Before
any one on the Lake Shore train knew
how it happened the other engines had
been coupled on and the whole train was
being dragged back to the city. Several
shots had been fired when the trains came
together, running fight of 10 or Is min
taking place; but shower of rocks from
the strikers when the retrograde move
ment began, was answered by revolver
shots.
A general fusilade of rocks and pistol
shots was kept up during the slow prog
ress back to the starting point.
Mat Pinkerton was on the Lake Shore
train emptying his revolver into the
crowd Of strikers, who were bombarding
the train with stones and other missiles.
The railroad party had several members
struck by stones, and several OF the
strikers are said to have been seriously
wounded.
At Forth-second street a number of rail
road officials and detectives jumped off,
but the train kept on its course toward the
city. 1t appears that the shooting com
menced upon the strikers pulling off a
policeman who was hanging over the
caboose He fired on the crowd and eight
or ten shots were fired then without APP
parent result.
TbsCk4were five strikers and two police
rne-i wounded. Officer McGallaghan is
SAID to have been seriously hurt.
