companies of the Fifteenth infantry

ing, arrived aero from Fort Sheridan.
H., this morning at 1880. There
are 200 soldiers with Springfield rifles,
ramrod bayone,s and plenty of ainmu-
milton besides rations for fifteen days.
They came in five coaches aud Il bag
gage car on the main line of the Rock
island. thus avoiding y box car which
was tipped over on the suburban track
during the night by the strikers. In
one hour the train load OF regulars with
their camping equipments came through
from Chicago.
An incident to e%nliven the wakeful
passengers was when they caught sight
of five freight ears burning on the lii
nois Central railroad track at West
Pullman, three miles from here. The
strikers say the b~rickmalsers who have
gone out in sympathy set the cars on
fire. One of the first acts after the ar
rival of the troops was the arrest of Il
switch,nan by Deputy United States
Marshal Allen for refusing to throw u
switch at the round house, the charge
being u violence of the federal in

The giant of the map family is now
In ourse of preparation and constrnc-
ton at Washington. 1t was begun over
twelve years ago under the supervision
of the United States Geological Survey
Corps, and it will not bo more than half
completed at the end of the present
century. Some idea of the gigantic
plans upon which this map is hcingcon-
structcd and of the magnitude of such
mn undertaking may be formed by con
sidering the fact that the portion which
delineates the little State of Connect
cut and the northern tip of Long Island
is 6 feet in length and nearly five feet
wide. When this wonderful map is
finished it will indicate the exact loca-
ton of every brook, creek river, hilloc!5,
mountain, valley, farm, village, school
house and city in the land, and will show
every public and private road and hi III
way as perfectly us the surveyors map
gives them in the townships. When
completed this map will cover almost
an acre in superficial area. This being
the case it can not be either hung up or
spead out, and in order TO make the H.
formation it contains available ii will he
issued OIL the sectional plan.
