A Handful of United States Regulars in
Imminent Peril.

CHICAGO, July s, $ p. ma report
from Hammond says one man was
killed and another seriously wounded
in a riot at 6 o'clock tonight. The
dead mans name is Charles Fleischman.
He was shot through the abdomen and
died instantly.
A mob congregated about the Monon
tracks destroying railroad property
and obstructing the tracks. A few
minutes before 6 o'clock the mob pro-
ceeded to a place on the tracks where
an empty Pullman car was standing.
Ropes were procured and thrown over
the car.
Capt. Hart and thirty-nine men of
Co. t. of the Fifteenth infantry L. $.
A., had been patrolling the tracks in
passenger coach. The military train was
run up behind the mob and the order
to fire was given.
About 800 shots were fired and at the
first volley an unknown man dropped
dead.
At the next volley w. II. Campbell,
spectator, fell to the ground with a
bullet in his thigh.
Another volley was fred and several
people were wounded. how many is not
known, as the wounded were carried
away by members of the mob.
As soon as the soldiers stopped firing
a big brawny fellow, who was in the
crowd, stepped to the front and urged
the mob to avenge the murder. Get
your guns, boys he said, "and slay
the hounds"
The mob needed no second urging,
and rushed to their homes and got
their weapons. They returned and at
tackled the soldiers.
A furious battle is now raging.
The troops, three companies of the
regulars, which had left the city
shortly after o'clock in command of
Gen. Miles had not as yet reached the
scene.
The railroad tracks are obstructed,
and ii is feared that the reinforcements
will not reach the scene In time to pre-
vent the capture of Capt Hart and his
handful of men.
The United States marshal and most
of the deputies refused to protect the
soldiers, and have left the scene.
The soldiers have retreated to the
! coach and are firing through the win
dows on the mob.

CHICAGO, July s. s.--Rioters on the Hi.

where the first regiment of militia is

The rioters picked up their friends
and escaped with them. They did not
seem to be fatally hurt, and the rioters
would give no information,

THE CENTER OF DISTURBANCE

Temporarily Removed from Chicago to
Hammond. Ind. Where Severe Fighting
10 Reported, "A Handful of United States
soldiers Being Surrounded and Hard
Pressed by Thousands OF Rioters Bent on
Their Destruction.
CHICAGO, July S.--The storm center
to-day was at Hammond, an Indiana
suburb of the city. Here u mob of
nearly 1900 was in possession and no
troops in sight. They sacked the
western Union telegraph office; over
turned freight cars and committed all
sorts of depredations. Five railroad
employees were wounded at the hands
of The mob one fatally.
Xhe outbound Sunday passenger
train from Chicago on the Monon rail
way was brought to a halt by the mob.
The engineer and fireman were made
to dismount, and the locomotive was
quickly killed by opening valve
and allowing all the water to run out
of the boiler.
The active leaders of the mob were
no., local strikers, or known to the
Hammond people. Under their leader
ship however, the town was tcrrorized
throughout the night, and railway
traffic paralyzed
Boldly operating right in the center
of town, the mob had everything
nearly its own way. The worst trouble
came about a. m., when in a skirmish
with railway employees three men were
laid low in bunch. Two other men
We're badly injured in other en-
counters.
The man whose wounds are sup
posed to be mortal is II. b. Miles, an
employe of the Intcrlocking Switch
Co.
One Of the acts of the desperate mob
was the burning of a Pullman coach.
1t was set on fire in several places
simultaneously and completely CON
sumed. Fully twenty-five freight cars
were derailed and tipped upside down,
but the torch was not applied to them.
An unprecedented proceeding in
strike tactics was the attack on the
telegraph office. The mob became pos
sessed with the idea that kilograms
were about to be sent to Gov. Mat
thews at indianapolis asking for
troops, and the strike leaders deter
mined to forestall such action if posi-
bic.
Entrance to the telegraph office was
effected with scant courtesy, and. in the
expressive language of an eyewitness,
"the place was cleaned out complete
ly." Since then telegraphic communi'
cation between Hammond and the out
side world has been cut off com
pletely.

DEALING IN HUMAN HAIR.
How Makers of Wigs and Switches Treat
Their Stock In Trade.


dealing in human hair is peculiar
business, said the proprietor of wig
making establishment to a reporter.
people do not understand the ms and
outs of a business that must on its face
seem so simple
1.-THE mere matter of obtaining hair
with which to make wigs, switches and
other hairwork to adorn heads poorly
favored by nature seems easy, but it is
not so. We have to exercise the greatest
care in buying hair, it being absolutely
necessary TO know from what source it
has been obtained. A great deal of hair
comes from the ash barrels and garbage
piles You can see that material of this
kind would not be at all desirable, yet
people often wonder why one wig costs
four times as much as another when in
appearance both are the same.
1.-The source from which the hair is
obtained has a great deal to do in deter
mining the price of the goods. If hair
has been cut form a fever patient, the
price asked is considerably lower than
if it had been cut from the head of a
healthy person. Hair retains disease
germs longer than anything else. That
this is appreciated is shown by the fact
that even after hair found in uncertain
places has been put through the severe
cleansing process to which all the ma
terial used is subjected, still it does not
command the same price as the healthy
article. One would think that this proc
ess would kill all disease germs, but it
does not seem to increase the value OF
such hair.
"When hair is collected, it is thrown
into watts Of boiling water, where it is
left to boil for a considerable time.
After that it is put through chemical
preparation, and then, after being
combed out and sorted in sizes, it is
laid away for year. We never use any
hair that has not been treated at least a
year. Each box is marked with the date
ON which the hair was treated, the
place from which it came, etc, so that
we have full history of every bit Of
hair in stock.
"We meet some peculiar people in
our business. You would soon be con-
vinced that women cannot claim exclu-
sive title TO vanity. We find men who
are hairless more difficult toplease than
women. They insist upon having this
bald spot covered Just so, and their way
invariably happens TO be the only way
in which it cannot be fixed Pitts

A FLYING STREET CAR.
An Aerial Whaleback to Run by Trolley
at the Antwerp Exposition.

An Aerial NhaleDack TO Run Dy ArOlley
at the Antwerp Exposition.
A flying street car is the latest novelty
which an ingenious Belgian has devised
for the convenience and amusement of
visitors to the Antwerp exposition. He
does not call it flying street car, but
"grand balloon dirigible" is the Belgian
way of putting it.
In appearance the flying street car re-
sembles the famous Pennington airship
or miniature whaleback upside down.
The floating apparatus is a huge cigar
shaped bag, to which is attached the
street car itself. In the front or PROV of
the car is an immense fan or propeller,
and at the other end an apparatus like a
barn door in three sections, which pro-
vides a rudder.
The car is divided into three sections,
one for the motorman, another for the
passengers and third, which corre-
spends about in size to the baggage
apartment on a suburban car, is for the
use of the conductor.
The much abused trolley system has
been turned to good account in connec-
.tion with this flying street car, as from
the overhead wire the electricity is OBJ
tanned with which to work the motor.
Connecting the car with this overhead
wire is a travelling cable, one end of
which connects with the motor, the other
being attached to trolley which slides
along the wire as the car moves.
In the rear compartment of the car.
where the conductor has his quarters, is
all the paraphernalia for lowering the
machine. A stout ships anchor attached
by wire cable to windlass, which in
turn is connected with the electric motor,
provides the means for hauling down the
flying car when a station is reached
where passengers are to.alight.
The first practical demonstration of
this aerial means of rapid transit will be
made during the Antwerp exposition.
One model machine is already pretty
we'll advanced toward completion, the
termini of the route being the exposition
grounds and the bourse at Antwerp,
which are about mile apart.
During the exposition trips will be
made every half hour by this novel
means of locomotion, and the success OF
the experiment may probably revolu
tionize street car traffic. One great
drawback to its popularity, however, Ii
that the trip of a mile will cost francs
