THE BIRMINGHAM OUTRAGE.
Mass Meeting of Citizens Held and strik-
r55 ers Denounced,

Mass Meeting of Citlzens Held and strik-
ers Denounced.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July 19.-Bir-
mlngham has been in fever of excite
ment all day over the attack of striking
miners on the non-union men and
deputy sheritfs at Pratt mines. The
air has been thick with rumors as to
the number of killed and injured in the
battle, some reports placing the list Of
dead at IL and the wounded at $50, but
from trustworthy information it is
learned that the list already given is
correct. Six men were killed and
about SO were wounded.
The. indignation Of the citizens at the
outrage reached climax during the
afternoon, when mass meeting was
held to denounce the strikers. Strong
resolutions were adopted and COM
mittee on public safety was appointed
to aid the authorities in bringing the
guilty to justice. Speeches were made
by prominent citizens denouncing the
strikers as bushwhackers and assassins.
The mines are guarded by Is COM
panies Of soldiers, with orders to shoot
to kill, and if another attack is made
the troops will make short work Of the
rioters.

The Southern Pacific Moving Day Trains
Only.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1y.-The South,
ern Pacific company continues to run
passenger trains more or less regularly
during the hours of daylight, but all
night trains are still abandoned. For
the present but one westbound and one
eastbound overland train day will be
run on the Ogden route. Non-union
train crews are not focking to division
headquarters and this is probably the
reason why SO few freight trains are
being moved The first fruit train des-
patched tor the East since the strike
was inaugurated was sent out of Sacra-
lnento during the morning.
At Sacramento the only exciting Incl
dent Of the day was the despatching of
train bearing GU United States regu-
lars to Dunsmuir on the Oregon
branch. The company's agent at
Dunsmuir reported that the strikers
there were becoming ugly.

TWENTY SECOND YEAR
VILLAGE DESTROYED.
Forest Fires Doing Great Damage in New

Forest Fires Doing Great Damage in New
Jersey.
EGG HARBoR CITY, N. j., July 19.-
There is no end yet to the forest fires
that have been raging in this vicinity
for the past week. Tuesday an entire
village was wiped out. The flames that
had been sweeping towards Bridgeport
were turned aside by the wind, and
during the early hours of the morning
they reached a point near the little
hamlet Of Green bush. The residents,
in the meantime, had driven their live
stock to place of safety, and when it
became apparent that the village was
doomed they loaded their household eff
fects into wagons and hurried them
away. Much still remained to be
moved when the flames reached the
houses. The village stood in the little
clearing in the pine belt, and the stacks
of hay and the dry wooden buildings
proved even better food for the ele-
ments than the woods around. The
villagers had been forced to fee long
before this and are now encamped in a
clearing some miles away. In addition
to the destruction of this village, many
residences and barns have been de-
stroyed.

Governor Altgeld Again Requests the

CHICAGO, July l9.-An effort was
made by Governor Altgeld and Mayor
Hopkins to convince General Miles Of
the strength of the state militia and its
ability to cope with any further emer-
gencies without the presence or aid Of
the federal troops. They went SO far
as to make request that regulars
should be removed from the scene and
the situation left to the state authori-
ties and militia. General Miles, how
ever, did not believe the time had vet
come for withdrawal of the troops.

President Debs and Companions Seem to
Enjoy Jail Life.
CHICAGO, July 19.-P resident Debs
passed fairly comfortable night in the
county Jail and ordered good break
fast brought in from a neighboring ho-
tel. Debs refused to be seen by inter-

close in the seclusion of their cells.
Mr.. Debs seems to enjoy Jail life. So
does George w. Howard, vice president;
Sylvester Keliher, secretary; and T.W.
Rogers, director of the A. R. U. All
of them were smiling and in the best
of spirits after their first nights expe-
rience in the Cook county Jail. A large
party of the personal friends of the i'm
prisoned men called early at the county
Jail. The daily corridor scrubbing was
in progress, and no one was admitted
for some time. President Debs sent
word down to the waiting visitors that
himself and friends had enjoyed good
nights rest, and had nothing to say
that would interest the public. Before
II a. m. Debs came down from his cell
to meet Stenographer Benedict of the
A. R. u, who had arrived with bun
die Of mail for him. The president was
in good humor.

had in month or more" said he.
Nothing disturbed me, not even the
ghost Of that man who was hanged the
other day and whose spirit is said to be
roaming about in here until next Mon.

President Debs then fell to looking
over his big batch OF mail matter. Vice
President Howard came down from his
cell in the debtors department, and
while awaiting his turn in the bar ber's
chair, said:
"We are all enjoying this respite

from the destruction of bridges. Since

General Managers. He Says Hired Men
TO Destroy Cars.
CH1CsGo, July 9.-At the county
Jail Vice President Howard of the A.
R. u, made the following remarkable
Statement:
''This thing is going to be a test case.
We don't consider ourselves bigger than
the law, and accidentally we think the
railroads are not. We are getting some
evidence for the coming legal battle,
and we consider it a pretty fair grade.
Here is letter we received telling of
evidence that most of the freight car
burning done in Chicago was done by
two men in the employ of the General
Managers association. One of the se-
cret agents of certain committee saw
two men on the night of the big fire go
through the yards with handcar
loaded with intiammable waste, which
they lighted and Systematically threw
among the cars. This agent overheard
a conversation between the men from
which he cleaned that they were
paid 5000 down and were to
receive 5000 more when the job was
done. This, we understand, was before
the troops were called out. An effort
is now being made to arrest these two
men. We further have pretty positive
evidence that the big man who led the
mob of 5000 at Blue Island was a
Pinkerton man employed by the rail-
roads, and it is significant that although
he could be easily identified, yet he has
not been arrested. It is safe tosay that
this case will not be entirely one-sided." f"
At Uhlich's hall, the A. R. U. head
quarters, a larger crowd was gathered
than for several days past. The arrest
Of the leaders was discussed by the ex-
cited groups that stood about the COM
mittee rooms and Railways, and the
action of the authorities was severely
criticised. Several of the local organ
izers delivered short addresses, and the
usual claims that the strike is still on
were made.
