CHICAGO. July S.-Eaily this morning
Michigan Central in bound freight
train was attacked by rioters at West
Hammond, just within the Illinois state
line. Obatructions placed ON the track
brought the train to etandstill and the
mob assaulted the railroad men. The
fireman escaped by hiding in the bushes
at the side of the track, while the mob
proceeded to overturn the cars, blocking
the tracks. An east-bound freight ar
rived at about this time and was also
blocked and the crew driven from the
train. Company D and Company M OF
the First regiment, l. N. g., the batsal-
ion in charge OF Captain Barrett, was
dispatched to the scene, and the rioters
fled across the Indiana stais line. Un-
der charge of the militia both trains
were backed to KensiDgton, where they

HAMMOND. Ind, July 8.-A mob OF
5000 strikers had possession OF the
town OF Hammond this morning. They
sacked the Western Union Telegraph
Office, overturned freight cars and COM
mitted all kinds OF depredations. There
were frequent fights and five railroad
employees were wounded. 1t Ia believed
that one OF them will die.
The out bound Sunday passenger train
from Chicago, on the Monon railway,
was brought TO a halt by mob. The
engineer and fireman were made to dis
mount 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
the local strikers, or known to the Ham,
mond people. Under their Leadership,
however, the town was terrorizsd
throughout the night and railway traffic
paralyzed. Boldly operating, it mad
everything nearly it's own way. fne
worst trouble came about 8 q. m.. wnen
in skirmish with railway employees,
| three men were laid low In bunch.
Two other railway men were badly in
| iured in other encounters. The man
whose wounds are supposed to be NOR.
tai, is H. h. Miles. IN employee of the
Interfering Switch company.
| One Of the acts OF the desperate mob
Was the burning Of Pullman coach. 1t
was set on fire in several places simulta-
neously and completely consumed.
Fully 50 freight cars we're derailed and
tipped upside down, but the torch was
not applied to them.
An unprecedented proceeding in the
strike tactics was the attack on the tele.
graph Office. Tie mob became impressed
with the idea that telegrams were
about to be sent to Governor Matthews
at Indianapolis asking for troops, and
the etrike leaders determined TO fore
stall such action if possible.

Companies A, B, d and E, Fourteenth

crowd OF several hundred strikers
gathered about the depot. Their faces
were dark, but little was said and no
threats were made. The troops have
pitched their camp in the railroad
yards at the depot, which fairly bristles
with arms tonight. Besides the 20S

CHICAGO, July S.-The Pennsylvania
system succeeded in sending out an
early accommodation and Columbia
special for the east. Neither train met
with any serious interference and left
the city limits about on time.
Some idea OF what lilo .trike has
meant to the Chicago railroads can uo
obtained when the organization OF tho
Pennsylvania line is noted. The COM
pany, after the declaration OF the Pull
man boycott, established headquarters
in the city under the charge OF strike
manager, and proceeded with en- oIgani-
cation wsrlike and complete. A com
misearat of seven barracks was estab-
lished. For week the department has
boon feeding and lodging 1900 peo-
Pile. A force of 100 deputy mar
ehals was organized with officers,
patrol wagons and signal stations, and q
corps OF engineera were put to work
upon the details Of the damage done by
the rioters. But despite thiB force Of
men, backed by the city, county, state
and government troops, the company
has suffered fearful loss Of property. Up
to Saturday night eB7 of its freight cars
had been burned. besides many signal
towers, oil and tool houses, and Other
property. OF the burned cars, more
than 100 were loaded. about 30 with
coal and the remainder with merchan
dise. No attempt at the accurate esti
mate OF the damage has been made, bu
it will reach an enormous hgure.

many OF the railroads sending out trains
with the usual regularity. Supt. Jsynee

Assistant superintendent Orr Of the

ment that everything WAS quiet on the
western aivisions OF the overland route.
Two companies of troops have reached
Rock Springs, which, with the one
company that has been stationed there
for some time, gives federal force OF
nearly 200 men at that point. Four
companies have reached Ogden from
Fort Douglass and the company is ar
ranging to mass troops whenever
needed at Pocatello, Green River
and Evanston. But the greatest fear ia
entertained OF destruction along the
Central Pacific and the long stretch OF
country between Ogden and Oakland 10

Assistant Manager Allen OF the Rock

that the running OF freight trains will
