Unparalleled Scenes Of Riot. Terror, and
Pillage in Chicago.
All the previous efforts at lawless-
ness were eclipsed Friday night by a
single fire. Not less than $40 box and
other cars were burned up, together
with tons upon tons of coal and numer-
Gus switch-houses and towers. An area
laid with tracks two miles long by half
Q mile wide, occupied by the Pan
handle yards at Fifty-ffth boulevard
and Western avenue were fired
and destroyed. The loss. at tho lowest
estimate, amounts to 100000 1t
was about Z o'clock when q mob of
5000 visited the va DIS, bowling like
demons. From this moving mass of
shouting rioters squads of a dozen or
two depa. ted, running iowa DIS the
yards with fie-brands in their hands.

plumber. Some of the ears were loaded
with household furniture, and women
were seen walking away with bedding
on their heads. Children carried
chairs away, and men helpud to stea
benches and car seats. There wert
lao cars of coal in the yards.
Women plundered them, carrying the
black diamonds away in their aprons,
taking off the skirts of their dresses
and shawls and filling them with coal.
1t was pandemonium let loose, the fire
leaping along for miles and the men
and women dancing with frenzy. II
wanton and men and women became
drunk on their own excuses. The
mob had its own way, played its game
Of deviltry without interruption, un.
molested BY any semblance Of au.
thority.

Slowly but surely the great railroad
strike is sweeping eastward. After an
all-4ight sessiono Of the members of the
A. r. q. at Cleveland, Ohio, in which
every road running into the city was
represented, it was decided to tie up
every line %centering in Cleveland. At
10 o'clock every road leading into the
city, with the single exception of the
Nickel Plate, had felt the effect of the
strike. and freight traffic on all lines
was more or less congested and the
suspension of passenger traficin many
cases seemed imminent. The Nickel
Plate had generally abandoned pas
senger trains for the West in conse-
quence Of the tie.up on the western
end OF the road.
