leg and many others were injured by the
officers clubs. The constable narrowly

company were released upon paying fine
of $40, and Recorder Miles committed the
others for sixty days on charges of rioting

ploy of Nelson Morris & Co., quit work this
morning, when asked to escort train of
beef, which the company has been trying
for two days to send out.
The train was later guarded by a CON-
pany of United States troops. The Lake
Shore road refused to give Morris G. Co. an
engine with which to haul the train saying
they would not attempt to move any pack
ing house cars till they are able to run mail
trains.
All of the big packing houses are COM
pletely shut down, with the exception of q

Gen. Miles arrived in this city last night.
Abiding to the strike he said:
NJ would suggest the newspapers warn all
law abiding citizens, as well as law
breakers, to keep as far away from the
troops possible. The rapidity of fire and
range of their weapons is such that great
loss of life must follow if the troops fire.
The militia is not performing it's present
duty for display or picnic purposes but are
under order of the President. They do not
propose to allow themselves to be besieg ed
or to stand too much noise.''

Several Persons Injured by the Charge of
the Troops.
Union Stock Yards, ILL.,, July 5.-The
Michigan Central live stock train was
again stalled on 10th street, near Wal
lace. The strikers blocked the tracks
by oyerturning two freight cars and
spiking switches When Trainmaster
Wright attempted to throw the switch,
he was set upon by the mob and severe
iy beaten. The troops charged the crowd
with bayonets, and several persons were
reported badly injured. At 1.30 the train
was still at 40th street, and the stock
yards officials are trying to get men to
clear the distractions.
AT 2. 80 pN na., a large gang of strik-
ers overturned 20 cars at 39th street, on
the Rock Island & Lake Shore tracks,
and made several attemts to burn them
up. The fire department. was called out
and quenched the flames before they
gained much headway. A mob mum ber-
ing 1000 is now on its way north tow-
ards the centre of the city Edriving all
the tower and signal men out of the
towers on all roads leading to Peak
street depot and the Fort Payne road,
which parallels them. The men are 60
ing out without exception. Another
large gang started for the Rock Island
Lake Shore tracks to order out the signal
and tower men of these. roads. The
troops located at the point where these
mobs started from, did nothing to pre-
vent their leaving, as they claimed they
had to give attention to getting out the
Michigan Central trains. The mob of
strikers and sympathizers which have
been derailing cars in the stock yards
district today, after successfully stalling
the Michigan Central freight train on
40 tn street, proceeded to the Pittsburg
& Fort Wayne tracks at 10th street,
where they held up the incoming train
and compelled passengers to leave the
car, and dragged the engineer and fire.
man from the cab. They broke all the
glass in the cab. and derailed the engine,
The mob then ran up to 10th and
Clark streets. and set fire to Lake
Shore signal house. All this time the
United States troops were at Halstead
street, guarding the Michigan Central
train. General Miles, in command of
the troops in the stokck yards district,
Sc ys'he cannot order the troops to fire
on the mob without orders from Wash

at Washington that he is unable to cope
with the situation here and asking for

1t Was No Accident.

Greenville, Me-, July "a special track
walker yesterday afternoon found himself
between thr ee men about one and one-half
miles above here. All were strangers to
him, and the men in front appeared to be
trying to get away from him. He hurried
up and the man in front ran into a rock
cut. The track walker ran as hard as he
could, but the fugitive got into the woods
He then went back to look for those that
were following, but when thsK saw HIM
they, too, took to the woods, It is thought
that they may have some connection with
the accident at West Outlet. The men have
not been seen about here.
There was half of a new tie on the trestle
which had been cut in two by the wheels;
also one at the side of the wreck with the
end cut off in the same way, and a third
with long spike driven through it to the
head. These were all new ties that had
never had rails spiked to them.
This discovery, with the fact that the
engine was reversed and wide open, con-
firms the belief that it was no accident, but
a terrible crime.
The railway company has offered re-
ward of $4,000 for information that will lead
to the arrestsand conviction of the perpetra-
tors. 1t is thought that the state authori-
ties will also offer reward.
