reversed their engines, which action
alone was the cause of saving many
lives.
AS soon as the passengers and those
of the train crew not hurt recovered
from the shock they proceeded to res
cue the unfortunate victims. Engineer

post with one of his limbs cut off at
the thigh and his head almost split in

PULLMAN EyIc1IoNs.
The Strikers Must Leave Their Hoases-A
Gloomy Outlook for Their.

The Strikers Must Leave Their Houses-A
Gloomy Outlook for Then.
CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE Post prints
the following from Pullman: Pull
mans tenants will be evicted. Vice
President Wickes said SO yesterday.
The company claims that it must find
houses for its new employees to live in,
and as the strikers have been camping
in the Pullman fats without paying
cent of rent for the last three months,
they must get out. This move is the
very last in the big strike and it will
forever discomfit the employees. The
company's houses cover about 5000
people at present. These 1900 consist
of the striking workmen and their
families. There are about 1000 new
men in the shops that have families
and that desire to livenear their work.
The old employees must make way for
the new.
This will he a death blow to the ten
ants who have been the strikers. They
have very little money. When their
scant supplies of household furniture
are set out on the broad street it will
be impossible for them to move them
away. Even now they cannot afford
to buy pound of coal to cook the
raw potatoes they get from
the relief committee. The pros
poets are gloomy indeed for
the poverty striker occupants of the
company's barracks-like rows OF
houses. But Mr.. Wickes' assertion as
to the company's intention of begin
ming the work of eviction was very
positive and unmistakable. 1t meant
volumes to any one who understands
the condition of the Pullman strikers
at this time

The Business Part of Waters-Meet De-
stroyed-Loss at Other Places.
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 13.-A special from
Waters-Meet, Mich, says forest fires
reached that place last night and de-
stroyed the business part of the town.
The property destroyed includes three
stores, the opera house. livery stable,
four dwellings, lumber company's
warehouse, two cold storage beer ware
houses. two cars of merchandise and
two empty ears. The loss is estimated
at $4,000.
Forest fires have destroyed 100000
feet of lumber and 200, 900 feet of logs
belonging to l.. Cornwell. about miles
from Merrill. John Ward lost all his
camps, the dwellings of his men and
about 100000 feet of logs. There was
no insurance on the lumber or logs.
Fires are raging in all directions.
Forest fires are raging throughout
Gladwin county, and while much dam
age has been done, it is probable that
the great work done in clearing the
land will more than make it good.

TIMBER ON PUBLIC LANDS.
McRae's Bill to Prevent Free Use Reported
from the Committee.

McRae's Bill to Prevent Free Use Reported
from the Committee.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-One of the
most important measures of this con-
gress from the public lands committee
is Mr.. McRae's bill to prevent
the free use of timber of
public lands, which that committee
agreed upon yesterday. The bill
repeats the acts of 1891, regulating the
cutting of timber, and that of 1898,
governing prosecutions for violations
of the law, and provides that hereafter
it shall be unlawful to grant permits
sion to any persons or corporations
to cut timber free of charge. Moth
ing in the act is to prevent
the secretary of the interior
from permitting, under proper restric-
tions, the use of stone and timber free
to bona fide settlers or mineral pros
pectors for irewood, fencing and
building purposes. The committee
struck out the clause revOking all per-
mits already granted by the interior
department.

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 1.-TWO compa-
MES of state militia, the Thurston rifles
and the Omaha guards, of the Nebraska
national guard, were sent to South
Omaha at o'clock yesterday morning
and stationed as guard around the

an ugly mood, but no violence was at
tempted. The strikers soon withdrew

of the new men on their way to work.
Several more companies of troops
from the interior of the state arrived
last night. The strikers are quiet and
offer little opposition to the soldiers.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-The Pullman Pal
ace Car Co.'S charter is apparently in
peril. The encouragement of Illinois
at noon Saturday fled a petition ask
ing that the charter be declared void
On the grounds that its provisions have
been violated. The petition sets forth
that the charter as granted allowed the
company to purchase, control and con-
vey such property as was necessary to
the successful prosecution of their bust
ness. The corporation has far exceeded
its privileges, the document declares,
owning a vast amount of real estate in
the town of Pullman and vicinity which
is in no wise necessary to the business.
The petition declares that the company
has practically usurped the powers of
a municipality, owning numerous BUSH
ness blocks. residences and factory
sites. controlling the stock in other
corporations and furnishing power to
other manufactures.
