WEEKLY REVIEW or TRADE.

NEW YORK;. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly re-
view of trade says: The Interruption oil Dusl-
ness by the railroad strikes has been such that
the usual signs, whether bright or gloomy,
have little value. The senate has passed the
tariff bill. but in such shape that no one ven-
lures to risk much ON its iinal passage without
further alteration. Speculation in products
has turned largely upon temporary uncertain
ties. but meat products have been higher. with
a threatened famine here and the PROBABILITY
that large quantities will be spoiled at Chi
cago, while improved crop prospects have de-
pressed wheat lac. The iron industry had not
yet recovered from the coal miners strike
when IL was seriously interruptedby the block
ade OF railroads at the west. An obvious effect
VIII be restriction OF repairs and car building
and OF track laying. large and somewhat
lasting reduction in the demand for iron is the
natural consequence OF disturbances affecting
railway earnings. The demand for iron pro-
ducts does not appear better ana prices are
again tending downward, IN spite of the general
feeling that an advance must follow the ter
mination of the miners strike. Textile manu-
features do not show Improvement Quite a
large number OF wooden mills have filed all
orders in hand and closed for the present, and
in most branches orders for the future fall far
below expectations. Interruption OF traiilc is
felt in these industries. but much more the
uncertainty how far foreign goods may be de-
livered at lower prices than domestic after
new duties take effect. and behind these causes
OF hesitation lies the fact that. with many
hands out of work. and wages reduced Tor
others, and prices OF farm products exceed
ingly low, the buying power OF the people IS
greatly restricted. Minor industries are also
affected much In the same way, and especially
where important changes OF duty are expected

The New York Herald tells of visit
TO the summer home of George NJ. Pull

Mr.. Pullman's son-in-law, George

What are Mr. Pullmans views on the

what they were month ago" said
Mr.. West. ale don't see anything to
arbitrate. What is there 20 arbitrate?
Nothing at all. We had but few
orders and these we had to scurry
about the country for. From the lack
of work we were compelled to lower

man to say in regard to the news that
all trades unions in Chicago will strike

Mr.. Pullman was seen, ami after see

U. s. TROOPS Shoot.
Hammond. Ind, in the Hands of Mob
Three Men Fatally shot.

Hammond, Ind, was in the hands of
a wild mob. A west bound freight ran
into the town and was at once stopped
by the rioters. The fireman leapcd
from the engine and ran into the
bushes. The engineer was seized by
the leaders of the mob, dragged from
his cab and beaten almost TO death.
lie was left lying senseless on the
ground by the rioters. lie was finally
picked up and carried into u hotel
where medical attendance was given
him. A few minutes later a Monon
train pulled in from the east. 1t was
also stopped and the engineer and fire.
man badly beaten. Both engines were
'Eilled" and the mob then went to
work tipping over loaded freight cars.
Both tracks were completely blocked.
The rioters broke open the cars and
carried away part of the contents.
The scene OF violence was the west
end of the town, which lies on the Illi-
nois side of the state line. The author
tiles tclegraphed TO Chicago for aid.
Companies ID and M, of the First regi-
ment, Illinois National Guard, were at
once sent on special train TO the
scene of the trouble. On their arrival
the rioters at once retreated across the
state line into Indiana, where the Hi
nois militia could not follow them, be-
ing without authority save in their
own state. Orders were then sent TO
Chicago for n company of United
States regulars. Thirty-fve men were
sent out at once. The troops were
stationed about the Monon depot, and
their presence quoted things for
awhile. The blockade on the tracks
ger traine pulled through. This
seemed To anger the mob, and with an
increase of number its passions grew
to a frenzy. Inside of two hours 5000
men had gathered and finally made a
rush at the soldiers. The latter fired
two volleys Charles Fleischer, a la
borer. was killed; Victor Vacetter
fatally wounded and William Camp
bell shot through both legs. A num-
Der of other people were slightly in
jured, but were carried away by their
friends and secreted, and it will be i'm
possible to learn the exact number
wounded.
The news of the killing spread with
remarkable rapidity and ten minutes
afterward the streets in the vicinity
were filed with a threatening mob.
Men ran from house TO house borrow
ing shotguns, rifles and other firearms.
ITO arms" was the cry heard on every
side and fully 1900 people responded.
Matters looked so threatening that
call was sent TO Chicago for reinforce
ments and two more companies were
sent out on a special train. These adj
ditional troops were stationed at the
scene of trouble and effectually cowed
the rioters for the time being Major
Hartz arrested four leaders of the
mob and took them to Chicago with a
small detail of troops While the
train was pulling out of the city
crowd gathered and stoned it, but
quickly dispersed on the approach of a
company of infantry.

END OF STRIKE IN DETROIT.
Michigan Central and Union Depot Men
Return to WOrk-Situatlon ia Michigan.

Michigan Central and Union Depot Men
Return to Work-Sitnatlon in Michigan.
The trouble in Detroit is practically
a thing of the past. All the striking
railroad men have gone back to their
work, and the probability is that they
will remain and take no further part
in the Pullman boycott
President Ledyard, of the Michigan
Central, gave out an ultimatum that
the employees of that road must return
TO work before certain hour or be
discharged. This had the effect of
bringing the men to time, and not one
failed To show up on time. The
idea worked so we'll that Super
intendent Smith, of the Union depot,
the terminal of the Wabash, the f..
IL =. Nj. and D., IL. d y. railroads,
adopted il with equally good results,
every employee returning to work. The
Michigan Central expects no further
trouble. The strikers are back To
work, and business has been resumed
to its fullest capacity. The Wabash
road, the road which has experienced
the bulk of the trouble which has
taken place in Detroit is experiencing
no more trouble. The places of the
men who went out in the Lake Shore
yards have been filled.
Battle Creek: The committee APP
pointed by the Chicago IL Grand Trunk
engineers to visit Cleveland and confer
with Chief Engineer Arthur have re-
turned. lie advised them TO return to
work. After an exciting all day meet
ing the engineers voted to report for
duty. The officials consider this favor
able TO the road. After the engineers
announced their intention of return
ing TO work meeting was held by the
rest of the employees of the Grand
Trunk and il was voted unanimously
to stay ont until the strike was settled.
The officials of the road say that they
will soon have all the trains running
the same rs usual, and that they have
more men than they can now handle.
The men on the other hand claim that
the action of the engineers will not
hurt the cause of the rest of the strikers
Port Huron: There appears to be
something of an improvement in the
railroad situation here, While trains
have been run each way nothing like
the u-ual number are moved. Law
and order reigns supreme on the Chi
cago d Grand Trunk company's prem

in applications for positions. 1t is
said that it viii be useless for the fire
men TO do so. The company will re
fuse to recognize them. The engineer:

Sarnia laid off thirty men, having
nothing for them to do as the result o.
the strike.

STRIKE NOTES.

The Big Four employees at the prin-
cipal points in Michigan have quit. At
Benton Ilarbor 60 men quit.
The situation at Battle Creek re-
mains about the same. The men make
no disturbance and but very few trains
are moving.
The troops with United States mar
shals surrounded the lodge room where
the strikers were holding n meeting
at Trinidad, Col, and arrested 80 per-
Sors.
The embargo which was put on the
Canadian Pacific railroad from Lon
don, Ont, TO Chicago, was raised upon
the company agreeing to do without
Pullman cars.
Militia had quoting effect upon
the mobs at Sioux City, Ia. With
police and deputies on guard n few
trains were moved. Engineers refuse
to haul Pullman cars, however.
The men refuse longer TO handle
cars delivered from the boycotted
roads. AS the Illinois Steel company
depends upon this road for its supplies
of all sorts, il closed down also, throw
ing 5000 men out of work.

A Mass Mestlnc in Detroit.

Fully 5000 people crowded into the
big Auditorium at Detroit to partici-
pate in a labor mass meeting. The
meeting was clearly in sympathy with
the big A. Il. u. strike. The speakers
were President McMinn, of the east
side A. II. u; Mrs. NJ. NJ. Oderkirk, of
the Typographical union; Sam Gold
water, well-known agitator; l.. f..
Tossey, president of the Carpenters
union; Edward Kcusch, president of
the Iron holders union, and last but
not least the executive of the city,
Mayor Pingree.
All of the speakers were applauded
frequently, but Mayor Pingree and
Sam Goldwater carried the crowds
away by their remarks. Mayor PIN
gree seemed TO touch the right chord
when he said:

the people, like the Pullman Car company

and their employees TO arbitration. Cheers and
voices that's right
We are informed by the newspaper reports
that the head OF the Pullman company refuses
20 entertain the proposition made TO him hy
men TO submit the difference to arbitration:
but there are some influences at work which
may cause him to look upon the proposition
favorably. IL is because OF such refusal and

States and those OF the states are not flexible

This meetng can take the first step in the
accomplishment OF this grand ana humane par

act providing for submitting to the states an
amendment TO the federal constitution looking

Ill. The miners had been rioting.
A number of freight cars were de-
stroyed by incendiary fires and mum
Der of cars were derailed. When the
wreckage had been cleared the inbound
passenger train proceeded without
molestation until Westville was
reached When it stopped there it was
surrounded by crowd of miners and
held
Word was telegraphed to Dauville,
and a special train with a company of
the state troops started at once for the
scene of the trouble. About one mile
from Westville d large crowd of miners
had collected, and upon the approach
of the train bearing the militia began
warllke demonstrations. Several pis-
toll shots were fired at the soldiers,
who returned the fire, shooting over
the heads of the mob, intending to
scare them. Miss Clara James, n II
year-old girl was standing in the door
way of her home. A bullet struck
her just below her right breast, and
she died almost instantly. Mrs. Mich
ael Glennan, widow standing in her
own yard, was also struck and died in
five minutes. An unknown man re-
ceived n mortal wound and died before
morning. The militia then left the
train and charged the crowd, securing
three prisoners. After this the crowd
dispersed, and the soldiers returned to
Danville.

Charlotto's Fine Court House burned.

( Charlotte's handsome court house
was entirely destroyed by fire and
nothing but the bare walls are left
standing. The fire caught in the cor
nice where painters were at work
burning off old paint with a gasoline
torch. On account of the height of
the building the fremen could not
reach the flames. In short time the
whole roof and dome were one mass of
fire and the big bell and clock came
crashing down through the building.
1t was soon followed by the dome.
Then all hopes of saving the building
were gone, everything movable in the
offices was taken out. The county
records are locked in the vaults and
probably will be saved.
The court house was built in 1885
and cost about 500, 900, being one of
the handsomest in the state. There
was $50, 900 insurance on it until lately,
when the supervisors cut it down TO
$4,000 in a spirit of economy. The
loss will reach $40, 900 TO $50 600

A THiEFlCAUGHT.
He Also Presents an Order for Goods al
Rines Bros.

Yesterday afternoon, Officer Norton,
while looking into Owen, Moore & Co. Is
store, saw man steal bottle of per-
fumery. The officer at once arrested the
man and took him to the station. His
name is Charles Lowell. It appears that
in the forenoon he went into Rines
Brothers store and presented an order for
some goods. They believed the order
was forged and would not honor it. Then
Lowell went out on the street and tore
the order up. Later he went to the
Preble House and forged an order on
owen, Moore & Co., signing it Mrs.
Marston of Yarmouthville. 1t asked
that the goods be sent by Porter's ex-
press, and stated that the goods would
be paid for Saturday. This order was
not presented, but was found on him
when he was taken to the police station.
The bottle of perfumery was also found
on him. The pieces of the order that he
presented at Rines Brothers have been
found where he tore it up on the street
