Interference, and that this association has
now ready and waiting to enter upon work q
large number of competent railroad men
sufficient to fill any vacancies that may

stoppage OF business OF any Of the roads in
Chicago is tho lawlessness Of mobs not yet
suppressed.
Six of the most prominent trunk lines
served notice to-day on Mayor Hopkins
and Corporation Counsel Rubens of their
intention to hold the city of Chicago, as
well as the county of Cook, liable for all
financial loss involved in the destruc-
tion OF railroad property by the rioters.

toned Judge Thayer of the United States

tion covering seventeen railways in this
city The prayer for the Injunction was
accompanied by lengthy and elaborate
argument called "A bill of equity" in
which the United States district attor-
ney sets forth the great hardships
and widespread damage which the
strike has already imposed upon the peo-
pie of Missouri and St. Louis, and points
out the menace to the general prosperity
of the country which continuation of
the railroad tie-up and the traffic block
ade will cause MIR. Clopton asks that
the persons named in the writ prayed for
be enioined from entering the yards, sta
tions, or upon the rights-of-way of the
railroad companies entering st. Louis for
the purpose of dissuadiug by threat, in
timidation or persuasion, the employees

TRYING TO RAISE THE EMBARGO.
The railway yards here and at East st.
Louis are beginning TO show signs of life
and an attempt is being made to raise the
freight embargo. About 200 non-union
men have been secured and were set at
work in the different railway yards this
morning The strikers have so far offered
no violence.
While the Iron Mountain passenger
train was passing under highway bridge
in the southern portion of the city this
morning some miscreants fired volley Of
stones at the coaches. A number of win
dOws were smashed and the passengers
were considerably frightened, but none
were injured The act is not attrib-
uted to the strikers. Sheriff Hotz of
Madison county, Illinois, with twenty
eight deputies, arrived at the eastern APP
proach to the Merchants Terminal
bridge this morning for the purpose OF
protecting the switchmen at work. They
were refused breakfast at the hotel on ac-
count of the landlords sympathy for the
strikers.
Nearly every railroad succeeded in get
ting its passenger trains out on time this
morning.
The fremen on the Frisco road went on
a strike this morning. All traffic is sus-
pended. 1t is believed they quit work in
anticipation of the injunction granted by
Judge Thayer.

BURNED $50 CARS.
Chicago, July 6, 0:3O p. m.-vThe mob
continued its work of destruction on its
march TO the stock yards. Both gangs
again met at Forty-ninth aud Halsted
streets and continued their march to the
yards. The 800 cars in the yards were
completely destroyed, and when the mob
reached the stock yards they
divided up into small gangs
and separated among the big
packing houses. 1t is feared that the
worst is to come and that the crazed mob
will destroy the big packing houses dur
ing the night. On its return march tho
rioters set fire to four cars standing on
the Grand Trunk tracks just west of Ash
land avenue. The cars were loaded with
baled twine An alarm of fire was sent
IN from FortV-ninth street and Ashland
avenue, but 1t was several minutes
before the 6remen reached the scene
The overworked horses were so ex-
hausted that it was with difficulty that
they could be forced off a walk. The
tiremen in this district had responded TO
nearly sixty calls during the past twenty
four hours, and as they reached the tracks
they were received with jeers ana curses
by mob of Bohemians, Poles and Ital-
ians. The firemen succeeded in quench-
ing the flames before the cars were com
pletely destroyed, but had hardly reached
the engine houses again when they were
called out from the same box. The mob
had set fire to the cars again. This time
the wornout tiremen made but feeble
efforts TO extinguish the blaze. At 9
o'clock the cars had been reduced to
ashes
IN THE STOCK YARDS.
After destroying these cars the mob
disbanded. into small gangs and started
into the stock yards in half a dozen
different directions. Ii is feared that the
big packing houses of Armour, Swift,
Morris and others will fall prey TO mob
violence during the night.
AT s o'clock the Lake Shore company
sent out n train load of men to repair the
tracks between Thirty-ninth and Fifty
first streets. AT Forty-seventh street
TWO men dropped from the train with
the intention of repairing some switches
which had been wrecked by the mob last
night. They had hardly commenced
work when the strikers and their SYM
pathizer to the number of 500 rushed
down upon them and beat them unmer-
cifully with clubs and coupling pins.
Both men were severely cut about the
face and head before they were rescued
by the police.

the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
yards at Hawthorne, seven miles out
-Four have been destroyed up to this hour,
and it is reported that there are many
other fires springing up in different parts
of the yards. There is absolutely no po-
lice protection there beyond one or two
officers, and the militia is several miles
away.
Sixty freight cars on the Wisconsin
Central railroad at the Fifty-frst street

AREGIMENT AT PULLMAN.
Fears That an Attempt Would Be
Made to Burn the Town.

Chicago, July 6.-The third battalion
of the First regiment Illinois National
Guard under command of Maj. Taman,
numbering about 200 men, arrived at Pull
man shortly before 9 o'clock tonight
Great anxiety has been felt for the safety
Of this esrtwhile model village, all the
hotels. stores, residences, light. power and
manufacturing plants in which are ownrd
by the Pullman company.

right and left for the past few days
should confne their operations 10 the
switch towers and box cars of the rail
roads. negecting the richer establish
ments of the man they seem to regard as
their arch enemy has puzzled the peace
officers Of the city and the United States,
and it is probably a wise precaution to
thus protect the town Of Pullman before
any actual attack has occurred. especially
in view Of the growing excitement among
the lawbreakers, who have thus far
bafted Uncle SANS regulars, the
city police and the state militia
That this movement was taken none too
soon was demonstrated early this evening
by the appearance on the northern end Of
the city OF crowd of people, composed
largely of those who have caused the
trouble in the neighboring yards and sub
urban towns.

the first sign of trouble the foundry men
quit work and the clerks put their books
away and left in hurry. The
marauders had been warned of the
approach Of the militia however, and
they confined their operations to the en-
pl0yes of the West Pullman street rail
way. Conductors and gripmen were
driven from their places and the COM
plete tie-up of the system was eff
fected. The strikers from Pullman
proper took no part in the work of the
mob. The Hotel Florence, the prlnci-
pal hotel of the place, was abandoned
tonight by its employees, who generally
sleep in the building. a number of boxes
of guns and ammunitions were received
there this afternoon in expectation OF an
attack, but owing to the presence Of the
Third battalion OF the First regiment this
is not likely TO occur tonight. The bat

square in front Of the Hotel Florence.

SpOnSlDls 1Or Cne violence.
Chicago, Ill, July 6.-President Dcbs
has issued the following proclamation:
To All striking Employees In view Of the
report OF disturbances in various localities. |
deem it my duty to caution you against being
party to any violation Of law, munich a ,
state or national, during the existing dim
cultles. We have repeatedly declared
that we respect law and order
and our conduct must conform to our
profession. A man who commits violence in
any form, whether a member OF our order or
not. should he promptly arrested and pun
ished. and should be first to apprehend
the miscrcant and bring him to justice. We
must triumph as lawabiding citizens or not
at all. Those who engage in force and
violence are our real enemies. We have it
upon reliable authority that thugs and toughs
have been employed TO create trouble so
our cause. These scoudrels should
be in every case, made to pay the full pen
atty OF the law.
appeal to you to be men, orderly and law
abiding. Our cause is Just, the great public
is with us, and we have nothing to fear.
Let it be borne in mind that if the railroad
companies can secure men 10 handle their
trains they have the right Our men have
the right to quit, but their right ends
there Other men have the right 10 take
their places, whatever the opinion Of
the proprety of so doing may be. Keep
away from railroad yards or rights OF way or
other places where large crowds Congregate,
as my plan is to remain away entirely from
places where there is any likelihood OF there
being an outbreak.
The railroad managers have sought TO make
il appear that their trains do not move be
cause OF the interferenceo Of the strikers. The
staten ent is an unqualified falsehOod and no
one knows this better than the managers
themselves They make this falsehood serve
their purpose Of calling out the troops.
Respect the law. conduct yourselves as be
coming men and our cause shall be crowned
with success. EUGENE V. DEBS.

tie Rock. 1t is better printed and
newsier, too. Hope it will continue
as a seven day paper The Gazette
deserves and should receive a more
liberal patronage, not only at Lit
tie Rock but all over the state. If
sufficiently supported it could ex-
pend more in getting up larger

Crossing the Atlantic

Usually involves sea sickness. When
the waves play pitch and toss with
you, strong indeed must be the
stomach that can stand it without
revolving. Tourists, commercial
travellers, yachtsmen, marineas, all
testify that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is the best remedy for the
nausea experienced in rough wealth
er on the water Nervous and weak
ly travellers by land often suffer
from something akin to this, and
find in bitters its surest remedy. No
disorder of the stomach, liver or
bowels is so obstinate that it may
not be overcome by the prompt and
thorough remedy. Equally effica-
cious it is for the chills and fever,
kidney and rheumatic trouble and
nervousness. Emigrants to the
frontier should provide themselves
with this fine medicinal safeguard
against the effects of vicissitudes Of
climate, hardship, exposure and fa-
tigue.

ABOUT COXEY's ARMY.
What it is, How it Came About and
Who Its Leader is.

On this subject, which is, just
now a decidedly large and interest
ing one, a man writing from Chica-
go, ILL.,, says that city narrowly es-
capped the "honor" of being the
headquarters and starting point of
the Coxey army. Coxey's right
hand man, Carl Brown was a dele
gate to the silver convention in
Chicago last year from California
and here the two kindred spirits
met. Coxey has been incubating
his great reform idea for two years
and at that time asked Brown to
take it up and agitate it, Coxey is
quite well off and is kept busy look
ing after his blooded horses and
other interests. Brown is some
thing of an artist, glib speaker
and in every way qualified to reach
the class of people whom Coxey ex-
pected to make up his monster
transcontinental parade and peace
demonstration. He accepted Cox
ey's offer and suggested Chicago as
the point for the organization Of
the army. Coxey insisted on Mass
illon, o., however, and Brown ac-
cordingly took his residence in the
Coxey household and went to work.
He made pictures which were litho-
graphed and sent out by wholesale
to editors, and everybody who could
in his opinion, be influenced in sup
port of the Coxey idea, the story of
which as related by Brown, is, in
brief this; cone dark and rainy
night during the holidays of 1891,
while Brother Coxey was driving
from Massillon to Paul's station,
four miles north of Massilon, he
doundered about in the muddy ruts
of the road, and when about half
way home he suddenly had an idea
that the only way to get good
road system was for the Govern
ment to build it, and for Congress
to exercise it's constitutional right
to make money and pay for it. Thus
three birds would be killed with one
stone, good road system plenty of
money and work for the idle"
