TWO BRIDGES DYNAMITED.
Citizens of Oklahoma IncenSed at
the Officials OF the Rock
Island Road

Guthrie, O. r., July 1.-THE people
of Enid and Pond Creek feeling that
their last peaceful resort was gone, have
arisen in arms and are attempting by
force to secure recognition of their towns
by the Rock Island Railway company.
The first news of the trouble reached
here just before noon in q dispatch to
Gov Renfrow from Division Manager
Low of the Rock Island railway, stating
that at 4 20 this morning bridge No. BIS,
three and a half miles south of Enid, was
blown up, completely wrecking the bridge,
and that a freight train OF thirteen cars
went down with the bridge. Three men
were killed and several injured. Late IN
the afternoon he received a dispatch from
Round Pond stating that an elghty-toot
bridge north of there had been blown up
with two charges of dynamite.
Gov. Renfrow is at Asbury Park on
vacation and Acting Gov. L. j. Lowe has
called out the troops at Ell Reno and or
dered them to the scene of the trouble at
once.
There has been trouble between the
Rock Island and South Enid and Pond
Creek since the opening of the Cherokee
strip last September. South Enid and
Pond Greek are government town sites,
while North Enid and Round Pond, each
of which is located within two miles of Il
government town. belong to the railroad.
The Rock Island people will not stop at
the government towns, one of which has
a population of 1000 and the other of
1000, but only have depots at their own
town sites. This has produced much
trouble between the government towns
and the road.
have threatened to burn North Enid, and
last night 100 men guarded the town.
A meeting was held in South Enid and
the wrecking of trains was endorsed by
the people. J. H. Ritter and w. n Jensen,
two citizens of Enid who were in South
Enid, were rotten-egged and made to
leave town. Sheriff Johnson has resigned
and application has been made to the gov
eminent for troops from Fort Reno to
protect the road and North Enid.

STRONGER THAN EVER.
Grand Master Sargent on the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen.

Grand Master Sargent on the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen.
Terre Haute, Ind, July 14-Grand
Master Sargent of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen said today that the
old brotherhoods will come out of the
Pullman strike stronger than before it
was ordered, for it will demonstrate their
conservative character. The laws of his
order, he said, are made so as to prevent
a strike as far as possible, that such
spirit should actuate all laboring organi-
cations. He added that at no time dur
ing the Pullman boycott was there any
danger of a sympathetic strike On the
part of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen. and all talk to that effect was
by persons not familiar with the brother
hood laws He was sorry for those broth
erhood fremen who had gone out on this
strike on their own accord and had lost
their jobs, but they knew the. conse-
quences when they struck, as the FIRE
mems organization had no trouble what
ever with any of the railroads. Chic
Sargent says he is a personal friend of
Debs and admits his honesty of purpose
and his intellectual ability, but he says
Debs made mistake in ordering of this
sympathetic strike of the A. r. q. What
effect it will have on Debs' own organi-
zation he could not say, but he did think
it would make the old brotherhood
stronger One effect it might have for
a while would be to make it harder for
all the railway organizations to get con-
ceSSiOnS from the companies.

MINERS WRECK A TRAIN.
Engineer and Fireman Crushed to
Death Under a Derailed
Engine

Indianapolis, Ind, July 13.-The min
ers of Fontanet, a station on the Big
Four, a few miles west of Terre Haute,
this morning added murder to their crime
of stopping trains and attempted lynch
ings. An engineer and a fireman, who
had nothing to do with the strike, were
mangled to death under the wrecked en-
CINE of a derailed train. The victims
are Engineer Charles Norman and Fire
man Charles Fleick The train wrecked
was No. on the St. Louis division, which
left Indianapolis last night on time The
train was running forty-fve miles an
hour and struck an open switch and went
down an embankment about eight feet
high. The engineer and fireman are I'M
der the wreck, ground to pieces. The en-
CINE, baggage car, express car and the
day coach are piled in the ditch, a broken
mass. The wreck is undoubtedly the
work of a lawless mob of miners that
possessed Fontanet all day yesterday and
stopped and sidetracked five Big Four
freight trains to show their sympathy for
the railroad strikers. The trouble Was SO
threatening that Sheriff Stout of Vigo
county and several deputies went to Fon-
tanet yesterday afternoon. No passen-
gers were seriously injured.

muffled tramp of the funeral cortege. A
few moments later Sheriff Gilbert and
Jailer Morris appeared at the right of
the scaffold, the prisoner, pale and I'M
steady, walking behind them. He stood
without apparent seriousness, though a
trite weak and unsteady, as his arms
were being pinioned. He seemed deter
mined to die game and looked calmly out
on the assembled crowd below him. The
white shroud was next placed about him,
and barring a little restless motion of the
eyes, up, down and from side to side, he
made no motion. Jailer Morris placed
the rope around his neck, the black cap
over his head, and Patrick Eugene Prem
dergast, game to the last, had taken his
last look of earth.
downward The head twisted to one
side, the neck having apparently been
broken. Slowly swaying back and forth,
he hung for a few moments while the
physicians held his wrist. A Slight spas
modic movement of the legs was all the
sign of life apparent within the loosely
hanging white robe. Surrounded by the
jury of physicians, the corpse swung to
and fro, and at 11:57, nine minutes after
the trigger was sprung, he was pro-
nounced dead. and the murder of Carter
h. Harrison was avenged.
The assassin made no audible sound
from the time he left his cell, apparently
DelllS IOSl III eIlplttIlOn OF MS awful
fate. He took his final leave of his Spir-
itual adviser, gave a last handshake to
his guards, and in low and choking voice
babe them a last adieu. He was gently
dissuaded by Sheriff Gilbert from his an
nounced determination to make a speech
At 11:5S Jailer Morris unloosened the
anchored end of the rope, and the corpse
was slowly lowered and placed in the
coffin. The face of the dead man was not
badly distorted
When the body lay in the coffin the
mouth was open and the tongue protrud-
ing. The color of the features was a
blush tint which, with his unkempt red
dish hair struggling down over the fore
head, made a sight long to be remem-
bered.
The coffin was borne into the outer
court and thence across to the inner Jail
Office, where. after the legal formalities
were gone through with, the body was
subject to claim by relatives or friends

PULLMAN MAKES A STATEMENT.

He Tells Why He Cannot Consistently
Submit TO Arbitration.
New York, July 14.-George N. Pull
man has issued q lengthy statement of
the attitude of his company in reference
to the strike, its causes. its merits and its
settlement, in which he urges that it
would be unbusiness-like to consent to an
arbitration which might decide that the
Pullman works be operated al q loss. He
says he believes that the controversy
originally excited at Pullman was mere
ly q move in the greater scheme, his shops
being selected not on account of dscon-
tent IN them, but because of their prOmi-
hence in various ways, and because of the
chance of a show of justification for q
simultaneous and causeless attack upon
the railways of the company, for the use
under longtime contracts, by three
fourths of them of the Pullman sleeping
car system, a branch of the company's
business totally distinct from its manu-
featuring of cars for sale.
In regard to arbitration Mr. Pullman
says: Can / as Il business man, know
ing the truth of the facts which | have
stated 1.-THE loss of money by the company
bind myself that l will in any c0ntin-
gency open and operate the Pullman car
shops at whatever loss if it should hap
pen to be the opinion of some third party
that I should do so? The answer seems
to be plain"
Mr.. Pullman says the rental of Pull
man tenements is at the rate of So per
room per month; that the company paid
the village of Hyde Park 4 cents per
1000 gallons and that the gross amount
paid the village per month for the water
consumed by the tenants was almost ex-
actly the gross sum paid by the tenants
therefor.
In conclusion Mr.. Pullman sayA:
strenuous efforts have also been made
to create a prejudice against the Pullman
company by charges that its stock is
heavily watered. The Pullman company
was organized twenty-seven years ago
with a capital of $1O00,00O, of which
two-thirds represented the appraised value
of it's cars, then held by three owners,
and one-third represented the appraised
value of its franchises and existing con-
tracts. The company has grown until
miles of railway, or about three-fourths
of the railway system of the country, and
that increase of service has necessitated
increase of its capital from time to time
until it is now $36,0O0,OO0. Every share
of this increase has been offered to stock
holders and sold to them or to others IN
the ordinary course of business at not
less than par in cash. so that for every
share of increase outstanding the COM
pany has received 500 in cash. There
are over 1000 stockholders of the COM
pany of whom more than One-half are
women and trustees of estates, and the
average holding of each stakeholder is
now eighty-six shares, One-ffth of them
holding less than six shares EACH.

SIX MONTHS IN JAIL.
Labor Leader Phelan Receives Sen
tence for Contempt of
Count

Cincinnati, O., July 13.-Judge Taft of
the United States court found Labor
Leader Phelan guilty of contempt of court
and sentenced him to six months impris-
onment in the Warren county jail at Leb-
anon. o.
The judge reviewed it at great length
and the testimony which he declared
showed Enthusiastically that Phelan came
here as the agent and coworker with
Debs to institute and direct a boycott, in
order to compel the Pullman company to
treat with its employees, who, it appears,
are not eligible TO membership in the A.
R. =. Phelan's denial of personal agency
had no weight with the court, owing to
the evasive and tiippant nature of his
testimony and in the fact of the kilograms
passing between him and Debs as well
as his public utterances. He knew the
Cincinnati Southern road was in the
hands of a receiver, and yet his first eff
forts were directed against it. The court
found that he was the active agent here
in an unlawful conspiracy with Debs
and others to paralyze the business of
the United States, or in other words to
starve the nation in order to force an en-
plOyer into terms.
The judge having found Phelan guilty
rs charged, said in reference to the sem
fence that it was the duty Of the court
TO enforce obedience to its orders. To do
otherwise would court anarchy. The
sentence was confinement for six months
In the Warren county jail at Lebanon
o., and the marshal was directed to i'm
mediately execute the order of the court.

MAKE GOOD PROGRESS.
The Conference Committees Work
on the Mangled Remains Of
the Wilson Bill.

New York, July 1.-THE tariff con-
ference has now advanced to such a stage
that it is impossible longer for the con-
ference to keep the main features of their
work from their congressional associates
Much that has been definitely accom-
plished has reached senators and mem
bers not on the committee, nor in the
sorm of rumors and reports but lbs ac-
'omplished facts. AS thus considered
he chief features on which the conferees
nave come together are as follows:
Pottery, rates, increased per cent
making the rates those of the House in
stead of the Senate amendments, the Sen
ate having reduced them.
Glassware comes down to the House
rates, the action in this case being the
reserve OF that on pottery for reasons
hereafter stated.
The cotton schedule has been scaled
down about 3 per cent. from the Senate
rates
The wooden schedule also has been
brought down considerable per cent,
making it more in accordance with the
House rates.
The tobacco schedule has been brought
to the House rate on the important item
of wrappers the rate being 81 instead of
the Senate rates of 81 80 and 1925.
The metal schedule has not been materi-
ally changed from the rates fixed by the
Senate.
Neither iron nor coal has been carried
back to the free list as in the House bill,
and, while the decision is not final there
is every reason to believe that the Senate
rate of 40 cents per ton on each will
stand.
The income tax has not yet been passed,
but there is little disagreement except on
the one item of limiting the tax to five
years, and the conferees have not yet
come together.
The issue between ad valorem and spe-
cific rates thus far has not resulted in as
much as a return to the House al valo-
rem rates as was expected, as it has been
found in some cases the ad valOrem
rates were greatly in excess of the spe
cific.
The whisky schedule has been a source
of determined contest for two days, the
main effort being to secure q compromise
on the basis of 81 per gallon and an ex-
tension of the bonding period to FIVE years.
This is resisted on the ground that while
it is an apparent increase of 10 cents in
he tax 1t will in fact yield the govern
nent no additional revenue.
1t is quite definitely settled that lead
ore is to remain at three-Quarters of a
cent per pound, as fixed by the Senate
bill
The House conferees are willing to
grant an extension of two years over the
time fixed by the House bill for the bond
ed period of whisky, but the senator's are
holding out for the entire period of eight
years and for the full 20 cents a gallon
increase of the tax

Cleveland, O., July 12.-Saengerfest
hall, the mammoth auditorium of this

was crowded to the doors this morning
at the session of the International Chris
tan Endeavor convention 1t is estimat-
ed that 10000 strangers are in the city
this morning, and since the partial re-
sumption of railroad traffic the numbers
are increasing, every incoming train
bringing large crowds. The exercises to-
day consisted of two tremendous mass
meetings. One was held in Saengerfest
hall and the other in a big tent in the
eastern part of the city. The tent has a
seating capacity of 10000
Secretary Baer's annual report showed
the society to be in a very f1Ourishing
condition and with an ever-increasing
membership almost phenomenal in pro-
portions. The commanding officer" the
secretary said, finds that this host is not
a mere wave of foamy, youthful enthuSi-
assn, part of it cast up upon the shores
of Lake Erie. On the contrary, it is an
army as strong as steel and as flexible as
ribbon'-a God-given, God-protected
God-advanced army"
The growth of the society during the
past twelve months has been the largest
since it was organized thirteen years ago
During that period 1895 companies have
been added to the ranks, against q gain
during the previous year. England has
now 1853 regularly enrolled companies,
including IS in Scotland and 80 in Ireland,
or a total of $4,000 individual gains. The
gains have been very heavy in India,
Japan, Turkey, China, France, Spain,
Mexico and other foreign countries. The
total individual membership of the soci-
ETY. in Canada at the present time is
1850. In all there are 2S,696 compa-
MES enrolled in the United States, and the
total individual membership throughout
the world is over 100000. Thirty evan
gelical denominations are represented in
the society, the Presbyterians still lead

and Lutherans follow in the order named

TROUBLE IN THE SOUTHWEST.
Troops Needed to QuelI Strike Disturb b.
ances in Ariz ,na and New Mexico.


ances in AriZ and New Mexico.
Washington, D. c., July 1.-THE of
fcials at army headquarters were some
what chagrined today after they had
reached the conclusion that lawlessness
in the West growing out of the strike had
been overcome, to learn of the develop
ment OF fresh focus of trouble in the
Southwest. 1t appears that the dlSOrderly
element which was cowed and disrupted
at Trinidad has extended its operations
southwark into Arizona and New Mexico.
Gen. McCook at Denver has reported to
army headquarters that the situation at
Williams. WinsloW and Peach Springs is
so critical that he has ordered three in

racks, Ariz, to move from point to point
on the Atlantic & Pacific as it may be
deemed necessary.
San francisco, Cal, July 14-At 9
o'clock this morning the strike situation
on the Northern California was practi-
cally unchanged from last night Under
very strong military guards few trains
were running, but there was nothing like
a resumption of traffic The Southern
Pacific company decided thai for the pres
ent 1t would be wiser not to attempt to
run trains at night over any sections of
the road AS a consequence of this de-
clslon a daylight schedule has been tenn
porarily arranged. In accordance with
this rule the west-bound military train
tied up for the night at Wadsworth last
night and incidentally cleared UP the
damage done there by strikers who re-
moved the valve rods from a number of
engines yesterday. The trains which left
Los Angeles yesterday tied up at Bakers
field last night and the train which was
reported to have been stopped there on
Tuesday night was Intentionally tied up
by the company. Two trains bound this
way stopped over night at Mojave. and
in the same way trains out of Sacra>
mento east-bound tied up for the night
this side of Truckeo
