DIsOoRD AT BLUE ISLAND.
County and Federal Officers Do Mo-
Agree-COwardIy Deputies.

County and Federal Officers Do Not
Agree-CowardIy Deputies.
BLUE ISLANDS, Ills, July 3, 1S94.-After
an uneventfuI night the railroad strikers
and deputized officers of the law awoke to
renew the contest for supremacy on the
Rock Island tracks at this point. United
States Marshal Arnold told a reporter
for the United Press that he was waiting the
pleasure of the railroad company in regard
to clearing the track again and NOV
ing trains, and would order his forces
to resist the strikers as far as it
was sensible to do SO. He has received
no reply to his second request for Federal
soldiers addressed to Acknowledgement
Olney last night, after the second blockad-
ing of the main line.
The fact is that Marshal Arnold has not
the kind of men under his command who
can be relied upon when it comes to ques-
ton of presenting solid front front
against mob ana using
their revolvers when ordered to shoot.
The deputies sworn In by the Sheriff and
Marshal are weakened and half-starved
and many are at heart in sympathy with the
strikers. The dlsaffection among them
makes the strikers defiant.
An order from headquarters from the
marshal and the sheriff at Chicago for both
kinds of deputies to return home would be
received with glad shouts. The situation
is complicated further by jealousy be-
tween the county and federal deputies;
Chief Deputy Sheriff Liebrandt will
take no orders from Marshal Arnold and
the same is true of the Marshal. A clash
between their forces would be more likely
today than one between them and mob.
The Rock Island Company does not intend
to ma Ike another attempt to clear the track
and move trains if it can be avoided with
out the protection of the militia or troops
from Fort Sheridan.
General Superintendent Dunlap saidA he
was waiting for instructions from Chica 2.
and at ten o'clock not move had been mao
by the officials here. Mr.. Dunlap
said that soldiers only could afford the
protection needed to bring switching and
wrecking crew from Chicago to clear the
Instructions, switch the cars off the tracks,
move trains and keep them moving.
During the night the strikers tipped an
other box car on the main track next to the
one which was overturned last night after
the mail train had gone through.
The strikers have gathered on the main
tracks as Yesterday, but there is no disorder.

period of seven years TO resign the destinies

IS sim SMITH City
COLLECTOR?!

Upon information that cannot be doubted,
it is said that Mayor Wanser has appointed
Simeon H. Smith, City Collector, in the
place of Patrick H. ONeill, and that the
public announcement of the appointment
will be made before the first of next week
Mr.. Smith was for a long time ga member
of the Board of Finance and Taxation under
Inc old charter, and he has served a term in
the Assembly. While in both offices Mr..
Smith made many friends
| saw Mr.. Smith this afternoon and asked
him if the rumor was true. He was greatly
surprised at my knowledge of the appoint
ment and endeavored to evade direct
answer He would not admit or deny the
fact that he had been rendered the office.
This morning Mr. Smith had consulta-
ton with Mayor Wanser and City Treasurer
Dickinson. What was talked about is only
known to themselves There is no doubt
but that the office of City Collector has been
rendered Mr.. Smith, and that he will accept
the position.

The consequence Is that any consignment
of perishable freight, as well as of other
kinds of freight has necessarily been refused

Needed.
LITTLE CHANGE IN THE WEST.

The effect of the great railroad strike is
being felt in this city by number of mer-
chants and restaurant keepers. This morn
ing Charles Laws, the proprietor of the prin-
cipal restaurant on the hill was requested by
the dealer at the Abattoir from whom he
buys his meat, not to send to him for any
today for he could not fill the order.
This worried Mr. Laws considerably, for
the Court House officials and others doing
business there eat their midday meals at this
restaurant, and if no meat was provided,
considerable dissatisfaction would be Gre
ated. Mr.. Laws, after an effort, secured
sufficient quantity OF meat for the day, but
he fears trouble in the future
HEAVY ARRIVALS EXPECTED.
This morning at the Central stock yards
Superintendent S. H. Smith said prices to-
day were likely to remain unchanged
''Some very unusually heavy arrivals for
tomorrow's market will come today" said
Mr.. Smith "They would be unusual for
any year, let alone period when a big
strike is raging"
For tomorrows market we expect to
have on hand not less than 100 cars of cattle
and fill fifty cars of sheep. This means
about 10000 sheep
The cattle come from Ohio, Kentucky
and Pennsylvania, and few stray ones from
Chicago, while the sheep come from Vir-
ginia.
Prices are not likely to be broken by these
heavy arrivals, but they are likely to pre-
vent for the time any considerable further
rise.
SHOULD there be no shipments for Fri
days or Mondays markets, though, we are
likely to see prices jump. 1t all depends, 1
should say, upon whether the strike remain
unsettled until the opening of next week.
''Still don't see how prices can go com
pletely out of sight in any case, for New
Workers when they find how things are
going, I think. will merely turn to eating
canned meats, fish and fruit from the
South, giving up fresh meat for time.
Things will equalize themselves.
"The situation is net the same here as in
Chicago, where, owing to the strike, food
supplies Of nearly all kinds are running out.
1--WE, here, are getting cattle from States
such as Pennsylvania, Ohio and Kentucky,
which the strike does not affect, and this is
just the season for shipments of Virginia
sheep here"
Superintendent Smith said he thought
that besides the arrivals at Jersey City for
Wednesdays market, the Union Stock
Yards at Sixtieth street, New York. had
also received about 1000 sheep additional
PRESENT PRICES
Yesterday the price for live cattle rose
l. cents per pound at the stock yards in
Jersey City. Ordinary prices are 5 to AZ
cents per pound, whereas dealers yesterday
were asking AZ to So cents or even higher.
For dressed beef prices rose ~ cents per
pound all round. This was wholesale Re
tail advances, it was reported, were nearly
double wholesale Prices for mutton showed
corresponding advances.
