a mob and commenced shooting.
The officers called upon the citizens
for help, and a rush was made for the
negroes, when they all took to their
heels and q out Of town. They were
followed by three or four hundred clti-
'zens, who gave them close pursuit.

gro fell, shot in the head, while the
others made good their escape.
Word has been received from the

themselves with Winchester rifles and
will return to town to rescue their
comrades taken in charge by the po-
lice. The citizens are In a fever of ex-
element. The Sons of Veterans head

with the strikers and are in a high
rage and swear vengeance against the
negroes if they return. The streets

central point of interest now is the
meeting of labor leaders at headquar-
ters in this city. 1t is admitted that
the action of that body, If taken unan-

the situation, and we'll informed per-

Quieting the present agitation or turn
ing 1t into other channels, is unlikely.
The railroads c~entering in Chicago
claim that they + able to hire all the
help they need. 1t is estimated that
while about 10000 men identified with
Chicago railroads went out. fully
5000 e men have been employed.
General Manager Egan said to-day:
I'VE consider the strike over, though
It would be folly to assume that the
effects of the trouble will be effaced at
once"
President Debs said to-day that he
felt more confidence in the ultimate
success of his cause than at any time
since the fight began. Debs declared
most emphatically that any reports
that he was preparing to give up the
struggle were untrue.
The conference of labor leaders
called by President Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor to be
held here to-day was slow in assem-
bling.
1--WE are all in sympathy with Debs'
strike" said Gompers, land we will
all try to do something to bring order
out of chaos. What that will be l do
not know. We have ample power to
order a strike, but whether it will be
done or not l cannot say" Another
prominent leader said they proposed to
issue an appeal to the public to cease
patronizing Pullman cars.
A telegram was sent to the Presi-
dent of the United States this after
noon by the American Federation of
Labor conference asking him In the
nam of the working people and the
entire citizenship of the country, "to

live,'' and requesting the President to

wise many lives would have been lost,
as it would have been impossible for
the thousand people assembled ut the
park to have escaped. The grounds
are surrounded on three sides bya per-
pendicular wall of rock 100 feet high
and the wave would have closed up the
other and covered the park. Damage
to the amount of $4,000 was done to
property in the city. No lives were
lost, though there were several mar
row escapes.
The programme of the Cautauqua
