JUDGE WOODS WAS ANGRY,

CHICAGO, July 26.-Attorney w. w
Erwin, counsel for the American Rail
way union officers, caused q sensation il
the contempt proceedings by violently
assailing the government officers ant
indirectly attacking the court. During
his speech, which was delivered imme
diately after the adverse decision Of thu
court Oh the defendants motion t
quash the information against the pris
oners, Judge Woods was ,visibly excited
and although retaining control o.
his, anger, showed his suppressed
excitement by his trembling hands ant
agitated expression. Mr.. Erwin asserted
that in cases of injustice the power o:
the people, back Of the government, re
verts to the people, and as he spoke, hi
tall frame quivered with excitement, hi
gestures were wild and his voice
Rose Almost to a Shrek.
Beginning his speech with review O.
the troubles leading up to the strike
Mr.. Erwin declared that the railroad
had entered into conspiracy to sustain
the Pullman company in the latter
fight with their employees. The cour
must decide the supreme question, hi
said, whether the men were not justified
in resisting such conspiracy when thu
courts were silent regarding it. .
"Such conspiracy did exist" he said
land the courts and officers of the gov
eminent gave no redress. The question
is whether the people are sovereign o.
whether they have delegated all theil
powers to combinations of wicked me1
and to representatives who are asleep
Had not the men as much right to re
sist this conspiracy as railroads to sus
tain Pullman in his inhuman and inega
acts?''

A lad of this town is now suffering
from being vaccinRted N times, and his
easeis regarded as about as serious as
smallpox would be. His name is Werts,
and his homo is on Mulberry street. Re-
Gently the school board ordered all the
school children vaccinated, and Werts'
little sister was one of the victims. The
virus in her arm caused an itching sen
sation, and on the sly she used her hair,
brush to alleviate it, At the same time
she accommodated her brother, loaning
him her brush, which he used in lien OF
q regular flesh brush to rub his back.
The virus on the brush was etfectually
introduced in the lads systemr and his
parents becoming frightened sent for a
doctor. He came, shook his head doubt
fully and sent for Health Officer Rich
ter and two other physicians. 1t looked
like smallpox, but the little sister d.
Yulged her secret, and the whole matter
was explained, There are on young

Due to Industrial Depression.
Advices FROM Australia by the steamer

casualties, crimes and acute distress.
The police are unable TO cope with des-
perate housebreakers, who swarm in the

drove them to deeds of violence. Several
of the policemen attacked by burglars at
Sydney are dying. The survivors have
been promoted and given bonuses by Sir
George Gibbs.
On one day last week at Sydney, be-
sides a score of petty robberies, the city
hospital was robbed Of all its valuables
by nurses. Mercredie 81 Drew, manu-
facturers, were robbed eff $50, 900 by em-
ployees. F. Coxon, merchant, wasrobbed
by an employee of n large sum. Three
young women succeeded in passing q
number of counterfeit checks, Charles
Graham, a postotfics clerk, embeEzled
5000 from the postotite.
The governments claim is that the un'
employed problem Is too complicated to
solve. In Sydney $500 each week Is
spent in aiding 800 families, Five thou

the governor to call a special session of
