Destroying Trains ana Tracks.


The morning of July opened threaten
ingly, and ominous signs were visible every
where in Chicago. At an early hour mobs
began to assemble about the junction points
of roads, and before O'Clock it was evident
that a great battle for supremacy was on.
Mayor Hopkins teiegraphed hastily to the
governor asking for five regiments of mill
tia to aid him IN preserving the peace. Thou
sands of people gathered at henSingtou, a
suburb adjoining the town OF Pullman and
the junction of the Michigan Central and
the Illinois Central lines. There were
troops there, but the tracks we're guarded by
a small company of United States marshals.
Very soon a milk train arrived on it's way
to Chicago and this was the signal for hos
tilities to bagin. The mob began an assault
and were met with great vigor by the mar
shals, who began firing almost instantly.
Two of the rioters were killed outright and a
number were wounded.
A mad frenzy seized the people and they
rushed in and seized the train and began
topping the cars over. They then detached
the engine and ran it off half mile on the
track, stopped it. reversed it and opened the
throttle wide and drove it back into the mass
of overturned freight cars, striking the cars
with fearful force.
At Burnside, station three miles nearer
Chicago than kenslngton, fifty empty freight
cars were standing upon the tracks. The
mob set fire to these and they were all prac-
tically destroyed.
There are now massed on the lake front
five companies of the Fifteenth infantry,
five of various regiments from Fort Leaven-
worth and two from Brady, troop Z, Seventh
cavalry and batterS E, First artillery-about
800 officers and men.
General Miles said the mobilization of the
regular troops on the lake front was prompt
ed by BELIEF that their presence near the
business center of the city was necessary.
The idea was to forestall all concerted move
ments on the part of the strikers against
prominent down town buildings.

and Second brigades of the state militia,

Ended at Cincinnati

Judges Taft and Lurton, of the United
States circuit court at Cincinnati, in cham
bers, issued an omnibus Injunction forbid
ding all persons from obstructing the inter-
state commerce by obstructing the freight
movement of trains on all railroads. 1t
makes defendants of E. V. Debs and of all
persons heretofore, at present or hereafter
aiding or abetting in any manner with the
free movement of all trains. It is very
sweeping and it construes the discourage
ment or the enticing away of new employees
obstructng commerce.
Most of the roads have taken back enough
old men to be fully equipped, as they are
running freight including live stock.

SUNDAY Work

Hammond, Ind, adjoining Chicago on
the southeast, was the theater of the greatest
excitement on Sunday, July g. Here the
rioting was resumed and finally became so
serious that a company of United States
troops went out there. They preserved
peace for several hours, but the mob in
creased in size and finally became demon
strative SO that it necessitated charging on
man was killed, two badly wounded and a
rum Der of others received serious injuries.
Most of this work was done inside the Illi-
nOis state line: and as soon the Illinois
militia arrived on the scene, the mob re-
tired into Indiana and jeered at the troops.
The sheriff and deputies were powerless to
restrain the mob, and as there was no hope
of the Indiana militia arriving before late in
the evening, an appeal was made to the fed
eral authorities in Chicago.
Late at night Governor Altgeld granted
the permission to Indiana troops to come
into Illinois and wired the Illinois state
troops to cooperate with Indiana soldiers.

COULDN'T CONTROL THEM.
Hypnotist Everett Has Hard Time
Getting Subjects,


The fates seemed to be against Everett,
the hypnotist, last night. He had seen. a
number Of people during the day and had
picked out eight or ten very promising
subjects. All Of these were at the theater
last night, and MIR. Everett tried them
again before sending them on the stage.
In each case the trial proved entirely sat
isfactory, MIR. Everett being able to reduce
all but two of them to state of uncon-
ciousness without even having to put his
hands on them.
When they got on the stage, however,
he found it impossible to get sufficient
control of them to last after he had left
them for a minute. He succeeded in
getting them under his influence These
stubborn subjects were playing cards
with imaginary persons, taking a trip in
a balloon, plucked imaginary flowers
from garden which their brains coniure
up and gave ample evidence of being
thoroughly hypnotized.
MIR. Everett was more keenly dtsap-
pointed and more surprised than any one
in the audience at failing to get complete
control of all of the subjects on the stage.
but he announced that if he does not
make an entire success tonight, he viii
return the people their money as thew
leave the theater.

WANTS THEM TO WORK IT OUT
The Taylor Greek People to Be Brought
Back and Taken to Liberty.

Back and Taken TO Liberty.
Thethree Andersons and J. B. Mellow
ell, who were arrested in Charleston on a
telegram from Detective Bossell to the
chief of police there, will be taken back
to Taylor creek, in Liberty county, where
it is charged that they conducted their
swindling operations.
George w. Bryant and w A. Written,
the men who made the charge against
the parties were in the city yesterday to
look after the case. Warrants had been
sworn out for the parties and Detective
HUMPHREYS was sent over to Charleston
after them, Detective Morgan being I'M
able to go.
Mr.. Bryant gives the following account
of the charge of cheating and swindling
which he has preferred: The people
were working for him on his turpentine
farm. They had been there nearly two
years, but were getting ready to leave
One day last week they went to Written,
who is a merchant at Taylor Creek. and
| asked him for lot of goods of one kind
and another, claiming that the Saturday
following was pay day, and that they
would settle then.
1t seems that Bryant stood good for
these people, and thinking it would be all
right under any circumstances, Written
let them have the goods to the amount of
about $3.50, Instead of getting their pay
on Saturday, however, they had been
| paid the week before, according to Mr.
Bryant, and there was nothing coming to
them. With this they left that part of
the country and endeavored to get out of
| the way. Mr.. Bryant says he was re-
| sponsible for the goods thus obtained,
! and besides this he had lost
! some money on their account
| other than that he has had to pay
| out in effecting their capture. He now
wants to take them back to his place
near Taylor Creek and make them work
! out the money he has thus lost. The law
| has them in charge at present, however,
and they will probably be taken down to
! Liberty county to-day.
