capped by hiding in the bushes at the side
of the track, while the mob proceeded to
overtprn the cars, blocking the tracks.
An east-bound freight arrived at about
this time and was also blocked and the
crews driven from the train. Companies
D and NJ of the First Regiment, l. n. g.,
the battalion in charge of Captain Barrett,

Troops Shoot to Kill and Disperse a
Vast Mob.

CHICAGO, July S.-The rioting at Ham
mond, Ind, eliminated this afternoon in
a conflict between the mob and Company
B, Fifteenth United States Infantry, in
which Charles Fleshman was killed, Vic
tor Vacter fatally wounded and William
Campbell shot through both legs. A num-
Der of other people were slightly injured,
but were carried away by their friends
and secreted, and it will be Impossible TO
learn the exact number wounded.
The trouble began last night. as told in
these dispatches. The rioters kept their
work up all night. burning cars and dis
abling engines. This morning they burned
a Pullman car. Most or this work was
done Inside the Illinois State line. and as
soon as the Illinois militia arrived on the
scene the m jeered at the troops.
About o'clock this morning a great
crowd gathered about the Monon depot.
Several freight cars were overturned and
the Michigan Central tracks blocked.
The Sheriff aud deputies were powerless
to restrain the mob, and as there was no
hope of the Indiana militia arriving be-
fore late this evening an appeal was
made to the Federal authorities in Chi
cago, Company B of the Fifteenth In
fantry was sent out at once. Their pres
ence quieted things for awhile, and the
blockade on the tracks was finally raised
at o'clock in the afternoon. and several
passenger trains pulled through. This
seemed to anger the mob. and with an in
crease of Dumber its passions grew to a
frenzy. The -~@~'ars were greeted with
oaths and shouts Of delisioD. and volleys
of sticks and stones were showered upon
them. The men stood their ground, how
ever. and kept the mob for several hours
from approaching the buildings. By 3
o'clock fully 5000 rioters were assent bled.
They had been aroused by their leaders to
a frenzy that made an encounter with the
soldiers certain. Several times they
rushed upon the company of troops. but
were met by fixed bayonets and driven
back. At last. however. the entire body
of strikers made determined rush toward
the depot.

ONE TRAIN GOES EAST.
The Pennsylvania Road Sends Out
the Columbian Special.


CHICAGO. July S.-The Pennsylvania
system succeeded to-day in sending out an
early accommodation and the Columbian
special for the East. Neither train met
with serious interference and left the city
limits about on time. Some idea of what
the strike has meant to Chicago railroads
can be obtained when the organization of
the Pennsylvania line is noted
The company, after the declaration of
of the Pullman boycott. established head
quarters in the city under the charge of q
strike manager, and proceeded with an or
ganlZation warlike and complete. A COM
misSariat of seven barracks was estab-
lished for a week and the department has
been feeding and lodging 1900 people. A
force of $50 deputy marshals was organ
lied with officers, patrol wagons and signal
stations, and corps of engineers were
put to work upon the details of the damage
done by the rioters. But, despite this
force of men, backed by city. county.
State land Government troops, the COM
Dany has suffered fearful loss of property.
Up to Saturday night 667 of its freight
cars had been burned. besides many signal
towers, oil and toolb0uses and other prop
erty. OF the burned cars more than 100
were loaded, about fifty with coal and the
remainder with merch andise. No attempt
at an accurate estimate of the damage has
yet been made, but it will reach an enor-
nous figure.
Despite the danger incident upon travel
during the strike large numbers of people
have daily gone out over the Pennsylva-
mia, and the number of passengers was
m tariaIly increased TODAY.
