The Militia Have Their Hands Full Keep.
ing Down Riot
LA SALE. ILL.,, May 25.-Six com
panies of the Third regiment, under
command OF Colonel Bennett, are
camped on bluff in the eastern part
of the city and their presence seems
to be having salutary effect on the
striking miners. There was another
serious break this morning when q
number of miners went to the La
Sale carbon shaft, mobbed the en-
gineer and made HIM leave the engine
room, threatening him with assault if
re returned. This was before the mil
itia had arrived. The miners held a
meeting this morning and speeches
were made by Adjutant Orendortf,
Mayor Matthieson and Hon.
David Ross, who cOunseled the
men to be calm and orderly
There was afterwards closed
meeting at which only miners were
present. The speeches and actions
we're then ct very vicious, incendlary
character add it looked for some time
as if there might be another riot, but
finally tue cooler heads persuaded
them to be quiet.
the thing that is now irritating the
strikers is the detention of two of last
evenings rioters in the Ottawa Jail,
and il the men are not given a speedy
trial there will yet be some serious
trouble. A tracas occurred in the
northern pprtion of the city this even
ing when number OF strikers Sc
riously beat and kicked a miner
named Birskowski, whom they ac-
cused of being a spy. The man is
very seriously injured and il
likely to die. The only trouble at
the military camp so far was slight
collision between the crowd and the
pickets. The mob WAS closing in
around the soldiers end it was neces-
| sary to drive them back at the point
of the baynot. One man named
Meisenbach became very abusive and
received prod with bayonet, being
subsequently taken to the guard
house. The attitude of many of the
more unruly strikers is threatening
and trouble may be looked for at any
time.

A CHANGE OF SENTIMENT.

Under the head of Local Political
Gossip the Dallas News of the 24th
inst. says:
"Hon. Charles Todd of Te2arkana,
was in the city yesterday. He said
There has been going on all over
Texas a wonderful revulsion OF sentl
meut in favor of Mr.. Cleveland. The
more the people investigate him, the
more they find he is right on nearly
every question. His honesty, his
sturdy integrity, his devotion to
principle as he sees it, are
making Roadway against all the
earping of the politicians. There is
no use talking about it, Mr.. Cleveland
will fiji a large place in history
when all of the bowling demagogues
of today are lost and forgotten. Ana
/ want to tell you another thing: The
man who offers in the next democratic
state convention in Texas resolution
condemning the president will be set
down on so hard he will wonder where
the earthquake was"
That is very true, and is confirmed
by many Others. a gentleman who
attends a court in another county says
that he was recently in the county re-
ferred to and that he heard the same
men whom he had heard at former
session of the court abuse Cleveland
and his policy admit that Cleveland
was right after all and that any at
tempt to pass resolutions denouncing
him or his policy in the state Demo-
cratic convention would be met by
stern rebuke by the Democrats of
Texas. The policy of re-establishing
silver as a currency in accordance
with the national agreement is grow
ing in popularity every day, while the
opposition to making it II state guess
ton is very pronounced, even by the
advocates of the ratio OF 16 to (.

Railroad Bows Want Justice

CINCINNATI, May 25.-Judges Taft
and Lurton, in the United States cir
cult court today, listened to arguments
in the application of the employees of
the Cincinnati, New Orleans and
Texas Pacific railroad to revoke the
order of Receiver FELTON, reducing sal
asies 10 per cent. The attorney for
the applicants said that before the re-
duction of 10 per cent, the duties and
labor of the men had been increased
with no increase of pay, so as to
greatly reduce the expenses of running
the road, and therefore this reduction
had no equitable justification. Judge
Taft said he would announce his de
cisiOn before next Friday.

Burned, Bloated Bodies.
In an indiscriminate heap LAY, more
than ninety corpses, men, women and
little children. Some burned crisp,
others only Drowned by the heat and
none with a fragment Of clothing
larger than a mans hand to conceal
their awful nakedness. Some were
mere trunks, the extremities having
been burned off. Some were bloated
until the abdomen had been cracked

Skulls were burned open and brains es-
Gaping; all were twisted and cramped in
agony Of death that had overtaken
them.
a force Of men were quickly at work
digging a shallow trench along the
south end of the cemetery. The sandy
soil was hard as flint. It had been
baked to a crust by weeks Of drought
and almost solidified by the fire. The
work progressed slowly. Off in the cor.
ner of the clearing two smaller graves
were being dug. One was for Mrs
William Grisinger and her two baby
girls, Caroline, aged 6, and Mabel, aged
8. The husband and father had recog-
nized them in the grisly heap and was
hard at work preparing for them a final
resting place apart from the trench de.
signed for the unidentified, his labo,
dulling for the time the acuteness of his
anguish.
An Entire Family Dead.
The other grave was for the Best fam.
lily, whose numbers make their destruc.
ton notable even in this time Of death,
John Best, Jr., was digging the pit
with the friendly assistance Of two
neighbors. Laid in a row, decently
covered, were the bodies of John Best,

RELIEF WORK GOES IN.
Prompt Measures Taken in St. Paul to Re

Prompt Measures Taken in st. Paul to Re-
lieve the Great Distress.
ST. PAUL, Sept. 4-When the news
came that hundreds had persisted in the
forest flames along the line of the Du-
luth road, the city was stirred to it's
very foundations, for never in the his
tory of the state has such a terrible
calamity overtaken Minnesota. The
response was at once prompt and effect
i've. In a few hours the measures for
relief We're thoroughly organized. The
action and the response were sponta-
neOus.
Tams Bixby, in the absence of the
governor, at once set the machinery of
the state in motion, while J. j. Rhodes
and J. H. Burwell saw that the jobbers
were properly advised Of the gravity of
the situation. Mayor Smith and Sec
rotary Costello busted themselves with
the calling Of the relief meeting of the
chamber of commerce this morning.
and various churches, irrespective Of
denomination, were thrown open for
the reception of contributions.
Before 3 o'clock wagons loaded with
boxes and barrels began to arrive at the
union depot at the foot of Rosabel
street where they were loaded directly
on the cars. The train load consisted
Of 1000 blankets, $50 frying pans, $50
coffee pots, 200 sets Of knives and forks,
200 spoons, $50 plates, 5 cases of coffee,
l chest Of tea, 500 pounds Of sugar and
a like amount of bacon, 500 hams, 5
barrels Of pork, 5 sacks of beans, 10
sacks Of flour, rs cases of corned beef, .
sacks of salt, 10 boxes of crackers, 2. 500
loaves of bread.
While this was being done Mr.. Bixby
t~elegraphed to the chairman Of the re.
lief committee at Pine City to find out
what was needed. and the answer
contained a list Of those things which
the committee had already furnished.
The next step taken was to secure
tents for the homeless ones, and ar
rangements were at once made with
Captain w. H. Hart, brigadier quarter
master, to have the tents of the national
guard, stored at Lake City, shipped to
Pine City. The tents were brought up
on the afternoon Milwaukee train and
left on the Duluth road Monday morn
ing.
Accompanying this relief train were
twenty-five Of the regular soldiers at
Fort Smelling. General Merritt. offered
to send as many men as needed and
other supplies Of medicines and r%ations.
He ordered the detachment of troops
sent to do all in their power to relieve
the sufferers.
