A Mob Stones q House and Drives the In
mates Into tho Streets.
Another outrage occurred on Scrib-
ner-st. last night, the nature of which
shows the dangerous temper of the
mob. At the home of Aaron Coe, 3Sl
Scribner-st., SIX of the so-called scabs
are boarding. A large mob organized
and made raid at 11:30. The
first intimation OF the attack
was q roar of boots and yells
obscenity and curses and then the
stones began to fly thick and fast. The
windows were stoned out, the sides of
the house battered up and the front
wrecked by the flying missiles. An Old
lady was lying sick in bed inside the
house but the mob had no mercy.
The frightened inmates ran out of the
door and jumped from the windows.
One jumped from the second story.
Another was struck by stone as soon
as he was outside the house and he
stopped long enough to knock down
one of his assailants and then fled
pursued by shower of rocks. The
rioters ordered the non-union men to
leave the town in ten minutes or they
would pound the life out of them. The
patrol wagon arrived at this time and
the mob scattered like frightened sheep.
Police protection was left at the house
all night. A window in Frank Schweit-
zer's house at 3S5 Scrlbner-st. was
smashed with stone.

Booming on the New York Exchange.
New YORK, May 2e.-For the last

a great deal Of attention on the stock
exchange. Up TO that time IT had been
little quoted and the price ruled be-
tween % and l02. Yesterday loo shares

were made II was found that there was
no stock in the market. The quota
tons then became wide apart. There
was bid of lo9, but no stock was Of
fered under l24. The same wide range
prevailed today, but there were no
transactions. The main facts IN con-
nection with the rise are as follows:
The company will issue S3,000,0o0 of
new stock and offer IL TO the present
holders al $50 per share. The present
stock outstanding amounts 10 &C, ,66s, 800.
Therefore the holders would have the
option of subscribing 10 an amount
equal to nearly - per cent of the pres
ent holdings at 20. As the stock pays 5
per cent the offer seems TO be tempt
ing one and It's claimed should make
the stock worth SIPS per share at least.

severe attack of the grip, has had his
memory affected as an after effect of
the disease. He can talk but minute
or two when he forgets the topic Of
conversation. cloud at intervals
seems to obscure his mental vision and
he must pause until II passes and leaves
his mind free again. Even then on
most occasions he has completely for
gotten what he has just been talking

HE WAS BURIED ALIVE.
John Benkendorf Lies Under . Pile OF
Dirt All Night.


Dirt All Night.
CHICAGO, May 29.-John Benkendorf,
laborer. lay buried all last night be-
meath a mass of dirt at 1889 State street.
At that number laborers employed by
Contractor William Reinert, of 1852
Wabash avenue, were engaged yester-
day afternoon in excavatIng prepara :
tory to the erection of five-story
brick structure for John Drier, sa-
loonkeeper at lS4l State street. About
5 O'Clock yesterday afternoon John
Benkendorf, August Drawart and
Henry Schrieber were digging a deep
trench along the south end of the lot.
They had reached a depth Of ten feet
when the boards which held the loose
sand and dirt thrown up by the labor
ers gave way and the entire embank-
ment caved in. The other workmen
about the place rushed to the spot and
rescued August Drawart and Henry
Schrieher. but 1t appears that no one
thought of Benkendorf.
The employees quit work for the day
and no report of the accident was
made to the police authorizes. When
work was resumed this morning the
non-appearance of Benkendorf failed
tn excite the least suspicion. The Ia
borers were busily engaged in remov-
ing the loose dirt that filled the trench.
when q workman's spade unearthed a
hand. The astonished laborers were
not long in digging out the body, when
II was recognized as that of their un-
fortunate fellow laborer. The face
had become swollen ana black, and the
body was drawn up as though the man
had died horrible death from strang-
ulation. The deceased was single
man. lie boarded at 1885 BlackweIl-st.
