Mexico.
Chicago, July 7.-To-day's incendiarism
began in broad daylight in new quarter
of the city. At the Chicago, Darlington
& Quincy switching yards, just west of
the Hawthorne race track, fully dozen
, freight cars were burned bright and early
this morning. The destruction of the
cars was complete.
NO BUSINESS AT THE STOCK YARDS.
To-day is dead at the stock yards. No
receipts of live stock are reported and
there is no prospect of any shipments.
The paralyzed condition of business on
the railways and at the packing houses
continues complete.
CAPTURED BY STRIKERS.
About o'clock this morning a mob of
strikers captured Baltimore & Ohio
wrecking train at 59th street. The train
crew fled.
LARGE MOB GATHERING.
Before 10 this morning the officials of
the Grand Trunk telephoned to the police
that large mobs of men were moving
down their tracks in the direction of their
shops, crossing the Panhandle at 49th
street. They expressed the belief that
the mob intended to burn the shops.
Chief of Police Brennan ordered Inspec-
tor Hunt to the scene.
THREATENING TO BURN TRAINS.
Half an hour later a message came
from the Northern Pacific and Baltimore
& Ohio roads that mobs we're gathering
at AZ and 59th streets, where these COM
panies have their wrecking trains. Fear
was expressed that the strikers intended
burning the wrecking trains in order to
prevent the clearing of the tracks.
FEARED THAT ALL LABOR ORGANIZATIONS
WILL BE CALLED OUT.
The president of the American Fedora
Grafton of Labor will be here on
Sunday. The new complication now
feared is the calling out of all the labor
organizations. This would make such
huge body of unemployed men as vastly
to increase the crowds and greatly en-
barrass the handling of the disorderly ele-
ment.
A survey of the scene at the stock yards
this morning showed that the devastation
by the fire along the line of the Pan
handle railroad extends over three miles.
Everything perishable is destroyed, in
cluding cars, switch houses, signal towers
and exposed freight. Fires are still burn
ing and now and then break out in new
quarters.
DEBs SERVED WITH AN INJUNCTION.
Chicago.-Presiden Debs was to-day
served with the injunction issued by the
United States court some days ago. The
injunction was served as Debs was leav-
ing the Sherman home this morning after
brief conference with Sovereign.
MOB DISPERSED.
The mob on the Panhandle road at 50th
street this morning had torn up half a
dozen rails when the police arrived on the
scene. The mob drew revolvers and
fired on the officers. The police returned
the fire wounding two of the mob. The
officers then sent for help, and Col.
Moulton ordered company Of militia to
proceed to the scene of the trouble. The
mob dispersed before the arrival of the
troops. The militia are now patrolling
the tracks at 50th street.
UNITED STATES ASSUMING CONTROL.
The United States army is taking con-
trel of the railroads at noon. Gen. Miles
issued orders to Col. Crofton to send
companies of regulars to the different
depots in the city with instructions for
the troops to accompany, support and
assist the United States marshals in aid
ing the dispatch of mail trains and re-
move trespassers and men obstructing or
destroying the lines of railroad engaged
in interstate business.
CRISIS REACHED.
Gen. Miles order is that should crowds
engage in any act of hostility such as
throwing stones or otherwise attacking
the troops, the latter will fire if necessary.
The decision of Gen. Miles to garrison
every depot in the city means that the
crisis has been reached and that from
now on no effort will be lacking to SUBJ
due the lawless element and in keeping
the mob under control.
WOUNDED RIOTERS.
just before day break this morning the
mob set fire to the freight cars in the
yards of the Monon road at SD and Wal
lace streets. Police succeeded in extin-
gushing the flames when the mob at
tackled them and they we're rapidly over
powerlng them when the police were or
dered to fire. They sent half dozen
volleys into the mob wounding number
of them. The mob dragged the wounded
men away and escaped. The police sue
ceeded in capturing four of the mob.
BURNING CARS ON THE WEST SIDE.
At h II a. m. it was reported that the
mob was firing cars and other property
