Livingston, where Captain Lock wood OF
the Twenty-second regulars, cut a man
in the head with his sword.
The officer claims the man called him
q vile name while his troops were guard
ing the train. Citizens Of Livingston
claim that 1t was . brutal assault and
that the officer was drunk and provoked
all the trouble. After this excitement
the rioters drove away the non.union
men who were preparing to Ice and
water the train, and also chased an en-
ploye who refused to strike some dis.
lance, but did no harm. No train crews
could be got at Livingston or this place,
and the men brought from st. Paul had
to do the work. The governor has offered
a reward Of $1,000 for the arrest and con.
viction OF any one who destroys property
during the strike.

Bank Presidents Prefer That to Giving
mp Their Gold to the Treasury.
New YORK, July l0.-Gold poured in
and out of the sub.treasury yesterday,
with . final slight gain in balance on
hand. Shippers called for 81 ,OOO, 900 to
be exported today, and the Clearing
House banks paid in nearly all the 81
OOO, 900, according to agreement, to
reimburse the treasury for last weeks
shipments.
There Was q cautious expression Of
opinion yesterday by several bank presi-
dents that the gold assessment which
they had paid would be the last. The
expected benefits, both financial and gen
eral, had not materialized fully. The
banks reluctance to pay in more gold, it
is stated, 10 said to be due to desire to
force the government to another bond
issue, and thus give q chance for getting
good interest for their idle capital.

VINELAND, N. Y. July lO.-Charles

OF Charles and Annie Buck, living on
Grant avenue, in South Vineland, were
instantly killed by the 4.39 Cape NAV ac-
commodation train this afternoon. The
body of the boy was horribly msnRled.
That of the girl bore hardly o scratch.

the half crazed mother would not allow
the train hands to carry II to the South

were signs OF life. The boys remains
were gathered up in q bucket and taken
to the waiting room Of the West Jersey
station. Buck appears to be stupefied
by his double bereavement.
The accident happened near the cross.

Railroad, and appears to have been the
result OF carelessnees. Engineer James
Hand saw two objects ahead, and thought
they were paper. When they we're hit he
instantly reversed the engine, and
stopped the train, but 1t was too late.
The tots had escaped from their mother
and had gone to play on the railroad,
which il about fifty yards distant The
road leads right straight without q curve
for several miles, and it seems strange
that the engineer could not have seen
the children playing between the rails.

tors to listen, for while he was not q
prophet, nor son of Q prophet or an

again called the attention of the country
to the public danger. ALI his PROPOSE
tons related to one fundamental error
which the country had fallen into-the
danger OF allowing few men here and
there to usurp governmental functions.
He referred to Debs as q man Of whom
the country had heard great deal lately.
but of whom it was likely to hear very
much more before long. Senator PETER
said that when the Pullman company e.
tablished what the people of the world
believed to be an ideal community, in
which all should have equal rights and
none special privileges, everyone COM
mended it for it's philanthropy. But the
charges for rent and the necessities of
life were deducted from the mems
monthly wages, and when the wages
were reduced the men submitted and
asked that the rents and taxes be re-
duced, but found that they were in the
power OF corporation without q soul.
and, hnally, they came to the conclusion
that they might as well strike in support
OF their rights as to fill the Golfers OF Pull
man.
He referred to the arrogant attitude
OF Pullman and of the Pullman officials.

Use OF material aid toward settling the
strike, and the assurance from Washing
ton that the government would force ar
bitration was the cause OF the unex-
pected action OF the strike managers
General Master Workman Sovereign at
10 O'Clock said: "The papers to call the
strike off we're drawn up yesterday.
They contained two provisions, first, that
there should be arbitration, and second,
all striking employees, except those
charged with crime, taken back by the
employers. As arbitration will be Sc
cured and great victory obtained, Debs
has done just right. So soon as l see
