At o'clock the Lake Shore men struck.
Out of forty-eight yard crews and engines
on that road, only one engine was work
ing. One or two passenger trains arrived
aud departed, but as long as freight trains
were being constantly pulled into the
yards and deserted on the main tracks, il
seemed probable blockade would soon
result.
Cleveland and Pittsburg men promptly
stopped work when notified to do 80 by
the committee, and at s 80 only one crew
out of thirty was at work. The strikers

and the troops soon completed their camp

oil guarding properly and preventing riots.
About eighty cars were burned altogether
In the Illinois Central yards and tonight
at 10 o'clock the flames were yet smoldsr-
Ing, but no further spread of the fire at
this point was feared.
Much apprehension was felt this even
ing concerning the Pullman shops. The
feeling among the strikers is intense. This
evening committee of the strikers made
tour of the works and ordered the watch
men to leave the place or suffer the con-
sequences. Some of these became greatly
alarmed and did so, but later being reas-
sured by the company and the arrival dur
ing the evening of the State militia they re-
turned to their posts, and during the early
evening it was said that the Pullman plant
was adequately manned with guards. The
intention of the strikers was not known,
but there are those interested who fear in
cendary work or the possible use Of ex-
plosives.
At midnight all the cars in the yards
have been destroyed. The mob showed
method in its incendiarism, and hundreds
of cars were rihed and their contents car
ried away before the torch was applied
The loss in the Panhandle yard alone is
estimated at 81, 200, 900.

Central property. at Burnside. was SUBJ
dued with slight loss.

Quincy yards. The fremen are at work
and it Is not thought the flames will spread
any further.
A crowd of 1000 or 5000 people is gathered
about watching the work of the fremen
and forty policemen have just been sem
from the nearest station to prevent any
rioting.
At 8 A. NJ. the fire in the Chicago. Bur.
lington and Quincy yards is under control
and the crowd is dispensing. Reports
from other parts of the city are to the
effect that all is quiet. No further trouble
is anticipated before morning.

were being rolled in the streets leading
from the yards. wagons were on hand and
being loaded, and rich harvest was being
reaped. On the arrival of the police the
mob started on a run for the yards. Each

GOVERNOR STONE OBJECTS.
No Need for Federal interference in
Missouri.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, July 6.-GOver-
nor Stone is in bad humor over what he
terms the mpertinent interference OF the
United States authorities in local affairs in
regard to the strike of railway employees.
He says Missouri can protect its own
property and preserve the peace without
the assistance from Washington.
Unquestionably the United States has a
right TO prevent any interference with the
possession or the transportation OF the
mails. but the practice of making interfer-
ence with mails and interstate commerce
a pretense for setting aside State authOri-
ties without giving them an opportunity to
assert themselves is another thing. He
gives il as his opinion that these irrespon ST.
bic deputies will do more to eXasperate and
provoke riots and conflicts than anything
else. The Governor has dispatched to
President Cleveland very earnest protest
against what he terms an arbitrary and
unnecessary move of the Federal authority
10 this State.
Governor Stone to-day sent Adjutant-
General Weykham to Moberly with In
structions to repor: Immediately what
steps are necessary to put the Wabash

Although French law prohibits
women from going about disguised in

obtained permission from the project
of police, curiously enough. there is no
legal obstacle to men parading the
streets i'm women's clothes. This fact
has just been brought to light by the
Paris courts, which have acquitted a
man named Florentin Gosreider, who
was charged with wearing an unau-
thorized disguise with the object of
concealing himself from the pursuit of
revengeful wife.

the patient endeavors to put into the
holes When he has succeeded in
placing the needle in hole, he COM

or stimulants, as well as lead or mer-
curial poisoning, produces tremblings
which can be tested with this simple
appliance.
