THE CENTER OF DISTURBANCE

Temporarily Removed from Chicago to
Hammond. Ind Where Severe Fighting
Is Reported. u 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 a mob of
nearly 5000 was in possession and no
troops in sight. They sacked the
Western Union telegraph office; over
turned freight ears. and committed all
sorts of depredations. Five railroad
employees were wounded at the hands
of the mob. one fatally.
The outbound Sunday passenger
train from Chicago on the MOnon rail
way was brought to halt by the mob.
The engineer and fireman were made
tn 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
not local strikers, or known to the
Hammond people. Under their leader.
ship however. the town was terrorized
throughout the night. and railway
traffic paralyzet
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 skirmisE
with railway employees three men were
laid low in a bunch. Two other men
were badly injured in other en-
counters.
The man whose wounds are sup
posed to be mortal is II. Ii. Miles, an
employe of the lnterlocking Switch
Co.
One of the acts of the desperate moi
was the burning of a Pullman coach.
1t was set or FIRE in several places
simultaneously and completely con.
sumed. Fully twenty-five freight cars
We're 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-
BILE.
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.

ENERGY AND PUNCTUALITY.

Don't live single hour of your
life without doing exactly what is
to be done lit, and going straight
through it from beginning to end.
Work, play, study, whatever it is
take hold at once and finish it up
squarely; then do the next thing,
without letting any moment drop
between. 1t is wonderful to see
how many hours these prompt peo-
pie contrive te make day, 1t is
as if they picked up the moments
the dawdlers lost And if you ever
find yourself where you have so
many things pressing upon You
that you hardly know where to be-
gin, let me tell you secret Take
hold Of the very one that comes to
hand and you will find that the rest
will all fall into line and follow after
like company Of well drilled sol
diers, and, though work may be
hard to meet when it charges in
squad, it is easily vanquished if you
can bring it into line. Elk.

for the reason that no currency
bill has yet been formulated, The
friends of the other bills will un-
questionably press their respective
measures and it is as yet impossible
10 say which of the bills mentioned
will receive preference. While the
committee is undecided Senator
Morgan will be improving his op-
portunity to press the claims of the
Nicaragua bill. He has given notice
of his intention to call the bill up
on Monday, and he will open the
proceedings of the day, after the
disposal of the morning business,
with speech devoted to an expla-
nation of the merits of the bill. 1t
is probable that this speech will
consume the greater part of the
day, Mr., Morgan will speak re-
gardless of what the caucus decis-
ion may be or whether there shall
be any decision previous to Monday
afternoon. The speech made the
decision of the committee will prob
ably be allowed to control as to
whether the canal bill shall contin-
ue to receive attention or shall be
disposed by one Of the other favor
ed measures,
For the rest Senator Morrill, has
given notice of an intention to pre-
sent, as is his annual custom at the
beginning of a Congressional ses-
sion, his views on some public
question generally, as this year re-
lated to the national finances,
Senator Hunton of Virginia has
also given notice of a speech for
Thursday on the establishment of a

sidered possible that there will be

COMMITTED SUICIDE.
]. A, Coblentz, Whose Name Figured
in the Famous Clayton
Murder.

LITTLE Rock, Dec 8, Another per-
son whose name came into promi-
nence in connection with the fam
Gus political murder case in which
Hon, j, M, Clayton was the assas-
sins victim, a crime that startled
the entire country and has to this
day remained shrouded in mystery,
has come to a violent end, Word
was received here today announcing
the suicide at Walla Walla, Wash,
Of j. A, Coblentz, last night, Cob"
lentz was sheriff of Conway county
Ark. At the time of the famous
Breckinridge-C Clayton congressional
contest, it was he who approached
Clayton on the day previous to the
assassination with admonition not
to remain in Plummeryille.
"Mr Clayton" Coblentz said that
day, don't remain in Plummer-
vile, If you do, you will be kill
ed"
Whether or not the advice was
given with any more positive know
ledge ON CoblentSe's part Of the
fate that was in store for Clayton
will never be known to the public at
large, Clayton paid no attention
to the admonition however, and
that night a murder was commit
ed which has puzzled detectives ev-
er since,
Coblent2 was a prominent figure
in Conway county politics and after
his term Of Office expired Mr., Cleve-
land, during his first term Of Office,
appointed him collector of the port
Of Seattle, Wash He held that
position until two years ago when
he was appointed warden of
the prison at Walla Walla, Wash
ington, a position he was filing at
the time of his suicide last night.
No details Of his rash act have been
received here, but II Is stated that

FINANCIAL QUESTION LEADS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. TO- Events Of
the past few days leave little room
for doubt that the financial ques-
tion is to be the prominent topic in
the Senate during the present ses-
sion, 1t is understood that the in
structlons of the Senatorial caucus
do not go to the extent of endors-
ing the recommendations of the
President and Secretary Carlisle,
but only require the finance COM
mittee to take these instructions
under consideration as it would any
other suggestions bearing on ques-
tions which come from creditable
source There is little doubt that
the finance committee will take the
matter up, but with what result is
not easily stated, In the Senate
at large the plan seems to commend
itself to some of the Southern Sen
ators, largely because Of its provis-
ion for the removal of the state
bank tax,
If a bill on the lines suggested
should reach the Senate it would
be opposed by extreme free silver
men, who believe if a law contain
ing such provisions should be enact
ed it would prove a death blow to
silver.

HOUSE PROGRAMME.

hOOpE IISOOhAmhH'
The second week of the session in
the House promises to witness a
fierce struggle over the income tax
in connection with the appropria-
ton to be incorporated in the ur-
gent deficiency bill to provide for
the collection of the tax, which be-
gins Jan. l. 1895.
Mr.. Sayers, chairman of the ap-
preparation committee, intends to
call up the bill on Tuesday after
the railroad pooling bill is disposed
of. Mr.. Bartlett of New York is at
the head Of the opposition to the
appropriation and although the OPP
position is not considered strong
enough to defeat the appropria-
ton, it is expected that the debate
will abound with acrimonious refer
ences to the late election, and that
much bad blood will be manifest
ed.
The consideration of the income
tax appropriation may consume
several days.
This is District of Columbia day
and the fate Of the pooling bill will
be decided, as Mr. Patterson Of Ten
nessee, in charge OF the measure,
has given notice that at 3 o'clock
he will demand the previous ques-
tion, General opinion is that the
bill will not pass as reported, but
will carry when amended so as to
give to the interstate commerce
commission absolute control of the
conditions of railroad pooling and
final authority in the matter of re-
voking pooling orders, AS soon as
the urgency deficiency bill, which
will follow, is out of the way it is
the intention of the appropriation
committee to bring forward the
fortifcation appropriation bill, The
Nicaragua canal bill will not be
brought up this week, Thursday
according to notice already served,
Mr.. Brown, chairman of the cleo
tious committee, will call up the
North Carolina contested election
case of Williams VS., Settle, There
is little doubt that Settle, Rep,) the
sitting member, will retain his seat.
SENATE PROGRAMME.
The weeks programme in the
Senate will depend largely ifnot en-
tirely upon the Democratic steering
committee with reference to the
order in which bills preferably the
Democratic caucus are to be taken
up, This point was left entirely to
the steering committee, which Sen
ator German, It's chairman, says
will probably meet Monday The
committee will then or at some sub.
sequent meeting decide whether
the Nicaragua canal bill, the bank
ruptcy bill, the New Mexico and
Arizona bills, the Indian Territory
bill or the resolution for the cleo
ton of Senators by the people shall
have preference, It is not suppos-
ed by any one that the proposed
currency bill will be given first place
