Up to 10 o'clock tonight the ERE de.
partment had responded to go calls, oc-
casioned by the destruction of box cars
and signal stations on different lines of
road. Every section of the fire depart
ment, men and horses alike, is we'll. nigh
exhausted, but the entire department is
being held subject to urgent call, in the
belief that a successful effort will be
made to fire the stock yards. The loss
that would be thus caused would be in
calculable.
RIOTS BREAK OUT IN SPOTS.
Up TO 3 p. III. there was no organized
attempts made to burn railroad prop
erty. As the afternoon wore on and
crowds of curious persons, strikers,
sympathiZers and hoodlums congre-
gated at the different railroad crossings
trouble began to manifest itself, and in
several instances incendiary speeches
were made by self-appointed leaders.
The tirebugs continued their destruc-
tive work until daybreak. Nearly 20
cars standing on the tracks of half a
dozen different railroads surrounding
the packing houses were destroyed
during the night.
All night long troops of United States
cavalry and artillery paraded the streets
between Thirty-seventh and Fiftieth
streets, in the stock yard district. During
the early hours of the morning COM
pany of cavalry paraded along Michigan
avenue, protecting the fine residences
on the boulevard.
The Chicago & Eastern Illinois road
attempted to run a train of go cars,
loaded with coal, into the city. When
the train reached Root street crowd of
hoodlums threw switch and derailed
two cars. Only three policemen were
on duty at the crossing and help was
summoned, soldiers and police being
hurried to.the point.
MILES OF TRACK PATRoLLED.
A little before 4 o'clock this after
noon, mob of rioters resumed work
along the Pan Handle tracks in the
vicinity of Thirty-first street. A body of
militia were sent to disperse them.
ANARCHISTS cowED BY THE SHOOTING.
The death roll of the battle at Forty.
ninth and Loomis streets yesterday will
probably reach six. John Burke and
Thomas Jackman died during the night.
An unknown man was found dead at
daylight this morning behind barn in
the vicinity, with bullet through his
breast. John Klongenberger, another of
the wounded, will die at any moment.
PuLLMAN's HOUSE HEAVILY GUARDED.
Mr.. Pullman telegraphed orders from
New York city, directing the removal
of his servants from his house at Prairie
avenue and Eighteenth street. He es-
pecially ordered that the women SER
wants be sent to places of safety, and
that the house be placed under guard of
armed men.
Much of the valuable plate was
moved to vaults in the Pullman build
ing yesterday. The house is heavily
guarded, inside and out, day and night.
ALL POWERS IN HARMONY.
Harmony has at last been secured be-
tween municipal and Federal authori.
ties on the question Of combining forces
when occasion required. General Miles
had conference with the President
over the telephone last night on the
duties of the regular troops. The Presi-
dents instructions said that the Federal
troops were called out to protect the
government buildings, and see that
interstate and mail trains were not
interfered with.
In the event of rioting, however, and
their services were needed the troops
were to respond to call from the
mayor to assist the State militia in pre-
serving peace. The action secures the
desired harmony and effectually pre-
vents any misunderstanding arising be-
tween the State, municipal or national
powers The theory indulged in by the
mayor is that until the resources of the
city and State are exhausted the Federal
troops should keep hands off.
