SEVERED THE HEART.
Murder in a Cotton
Factory.

DALLAS. Tex, July 17.-At o'clock
this morning and few minutes after
the Dallas cotton factory had started up
for the day, Ii. p. Barnes, the boss
weaver, entered the Office of Supt. A.
Il. Nickless, and. with long-bladed
knife, assaulted that official, infllcting
dep wounds over the left arm, in the
left side, left groin, aud then driving the
blade into the heart. severing that
organ. Mr.. Nickless fell and died In
few minutes without speaking. At
this moment John Nickless, son
of the dead man and engineer of
the mills, entered the Office when
Barnes assaulted him with the same
weapon, stabbing him several times. two
of which penetrated the lungs. Young
Nickless stabbed Barnes severely Oh the
head and on the body. He may recover.
Nickless' wounds are probably fatal.
The true cause of the trouble is not
yet known. 1t is supposed Supt. Nick
less discharged Barnes, and this led TO
the fatal duel. Others say the trouble
arose over the dismissal of lady en-
ploye, whom Nickless insisted on reip-
stating A. Ii. Nickless was about
fifty-eight years of age, and his family
consisted of his wife and son.

ern and Northern Pacific.
WASHINGTON, July 17.-The daily
reports received at the war department
from the troops engaged in preventing
disturbances on the railroads i'll the
West show that the resistance of the
strikers has generally diminished from
formidable rioting 10 petty annoyance
and obstruction. This is particularly
true of the Northwest. Gen. Merritt,
at st. Paul. for instance, reports that
distractions have been encountered on
the Great Northern road, running north
from st. Paul; likewise at Livingston,
Mont, there is trouble, and, in fact,
much friction exists on all the Pacific
railroads.
From San Francisco, Gen. Ruger re-
ports that it will be necessary to send
the trains under guard for some time to
come.
Gen. Miles reports to headquarters the
frightful accident at Chicago yesterday.
Gen. Miles will take steps to ascertain
how it occurred, and he may appoint a
board for this purpose. AS soon as, in

aole 10 do SO. the regular troops now IN
Chicago will be withdrawn, but until
Gen. Miles SO recommends, no sugges-

In Oakland, as we'll as III Sacramento,
the railroad Officials are meeting with
difficulty in getting enough men to run

strikers have been pretty successful In

might have stepped into the vacant

men returned. Many of the men were
escorted 10 and from their work
by troops of cavalry. The passage
of these odd-looking professions
through the streets of Oakland
afforded the only excitement at that
point today. One man. supposed to be

sticks OF dynamite were found, was ar

THE GREAT STRIKE.
A. r. U. Declares the Strike Is on
Red-Hot

CHICAGO. July IT, The railway strike
was not in evidence today except at the
headquarters Of the American Railway
union. There the few committeeman
and officials who were on hand declared
that the strike is OH red hot, vut the va
rious railroads showed no signs of
trouble. All regular through trains
were running, and the packing houses
at the stockyards were all at work, aud
business was apparently rapidly assum-
ing its normal condition. President
Debs, however, was still positive that
there is strike, and while admitting
that Chicago unions appeared to be
weakening, he declared that they would
eventually become united and win the
fight. An interesting feature of the
situation was the possibility that the
federal courts would bring contempt
proceedings against the A. r. U. Off
GERS because of the alleged violation Of
the courts injunction. This feature
Debs and his directors were not dis
posed to discuss. and in reply TO ques-
tions regarding it, they simply repeated
that they had committed no crime.

Samuel Gompers today when he entered

few minutes, however, he reconsidered
the matter.

trains were running. but did not see
much freight moving. Mr.. Debs said

troops provoke dlsorder?''
''Cerlainly. The authority of the
United States should not be invoked in

have exhausted their power to preserve
peace"
although the strike failed in a way
it still will Oe of great benefit to the
people. 1t Is an unanSwerable and
convincing argument III favor of the
government ownership of all railroads.
1t has done more than ten years OF
agitation could for the naturalization
of railways. The strike has caused old
brotherhoods of railway employees, who
have so long remained isolated. to come
i'll touch with sister organizations. The
strike has worked as a tremendous and
far-reaching disintectant.

sumed Business.
SAN FRANCISCO, July II. - The
Southern Pacific company continues to
run passenger trains more or less reg
ularly during the hours of daylight, but
all night trains are still abandoned.
For the present but one west-bound
and one east-bound overland train a
day will be run on the Ogden route.
Non-union train crews are not focking
10 division headquarters, and this is
probably the reason why so few freight
trains are being moved. The first fruit
train dispatched for the East since the
strike WAS inaugurated was sent out Of
Sacramento this morning.
At Sacramento the only exciting in
cident of today was the dispatching of a
train bearing sixty United States reg
ulars- to Duusmuir on the Oregon
branch. The company's agent at Duns-
muir reported that tie strikers there
were becoming ugly. The strikers at
Sacramento continue active, how
ever. Yesterday several hundred
men who had obeyed the order
TO strike, returned TO work in the
machine shops. This morning they
remained away. The men have been
lntimidated by the strikers and feared
violence at the hands of the A. K. u.
when they went back to work this
morning. vice President Towne, of
The Southern Pacific, posted a notice
today that the Sacramento shops would

a Violent Assault Made by Joe

William Davis, a twenty-year- old lad

last night by Joe Huffbauer, receiving
seven knife wounds. Davis was driving

Hutfbauer came up to them, putting
on police star, and demanded to know
who owned the horse. He was informed
of the ownership, but persisted in pick

out of the rig, when Hutfbauer

SANTA Fe Wants Money.

Topeka. Kan, July 1.-THE Santa
Fe receivers have petitioned the United
States circuit court for authority to bor
row s25O,OOO of Chicago banks and
others. They state that there is now
due to the employees for wages large
sum of money in excess of the funds on
hand applicable thereto; that the de-
ficiency grows out of great loss of
earnings from the operation OF the road
by reason of the unsettled and discord-
ant condition of business throughout
the country. By.reason of the strike,
the receivers say, large number of en-
ployes have left the service or were
discharged, and these employees must be
paid, and the wages of others are over

FOREST FIRES.
Entire Village Wiped Out Down
in Jersey.

EGG HARBoR CITY, n. j., July H.
There is no end yet to the forest fires
that have been raging in this vicinity
for the past week. Today an entire
village was wiped out. The flames that
had been sweeping towards Bridgeport
were turned aside by the wind last
night, and during the early hours of the
morning they reached point near the.
little hamlet of Greenbush. The resi-.
dents in the meantime had driven theiI
live stock to place of safety. and when
it became apparent that the village was
doomed they loaded their household
effects in wagons and hurried them
away. Much still remained 10 be moved
when the flames reached the houses.
The village stood in little clearing.
The pine belt. the stacks of hay and the
dry wooden buildings proved even bet
ter food for the elements than the woods
around. The villagers had been forced
to flee long before this. and are now ell.
camped in clearing some miles away.
In addition 10 the destruction of this
village many residences and barns have
been destroyed.

Ever since the great sympathetic
strike was inaugurated there has been
more or less nervousness manifested on
the part of the Great Northern en-
ployes.
In spite of the fact that that road does
not use Pullman cars and that Debs and
Howard only few weeks ago signed a
contract with President Hill in accord
with the terms agreed upon by the arbi-
tration comm ittee, there have been con-
slant efforts made by the strikers to in
duce the Great Northern men to find
some preteXt for going out.
So far wiser councils have prevailed
among the Great Northern men. but the
test of continued loyalty to the agree
ment made for them by their accepted
leaders will take place today.
Last Friday or Saturday the Great
Northern notified It's employees that the
embargo which had existed for nearly
three weeks relative to handling the
freight cars of boycotted roads must
cease. These roads have so far over
come the boycott as to resume their
freight traffic, and the Great Northern,
as common carrier, cannot refuse to
accept their freight.
On Saturday it was given out that the
Great Northern men had decided to
handle all freight cars turned over
to the road employing them, ana de-
liver those from the Great Northern
going to other roads. In spite of this
announcement no cars of the boycotted
roads have yet been handled, and
under these circumstances the Great
Northern has notified its employees that
they must handle the traffic or allow
others to do SO.
All through the northern part of the
state and in the Dakotas as well, cry
is going up for binding twine abso-
lutely Imperative. The crop Is in i'm
mlnent danger of being lost, entaili ng
distress and starvation among the
farmers. 1t is cars containing binding
twine supplies which the Great North
ern insists must be handled today. If
the present employees do not handle
these cars some other employees will.
1t Is not believed that the Great
Northern men will deliberately violate
their recent agreement, thus demon
strating that it Is useless to make any
terms with the A. r. U. To do so would
be to publicly say to every railroad In
the United States, Agreements are not
binding on US; we will strike whenever
1t is our whim, no matter what contracts
bo,, ct, 4 q.
would be more serious blow to the A.
r. U. than anything which Debs has
done. This is test day as to the value
OF an A. r. .. contract, and the public
will watch the result with interest.
The belief is that the men will stand
by their agreement and obey the orders
OF the road employing them.
President j. j. Hill, who has been ab-
sent on the coast for over a week, is ex
pected back this morning.

The air has been thick with rumors as
to the number of killed and injured in
the battle, some reports placing the list
of dead at IL and the wounded at $50.
but from trustworthy information it is
learned that the list given last night is
correct. Six men were killed and about
fifty were wounded. 1t is impossible to
secure full list of the wounded on ac-
count of the action of the rioters in hur-
riedly taking their injured from the
field and secreting them.

Stine,z, striker; Barney Anderson,
negro non-union miner.
The indignation of the citizens at the
outrage reached climax this afternoon,
when mass meeting was held to de-
nounce the strikers. Strong resolutions
were adopted. and committee Of public
safety was appointed to aid the aut hor-
tiles in bringing the guilty to justice.
Speeches. were made by prominent
citizens denouncing the strikers
as bushwhackers and assassins.
Gov. Jones was highly praised
for his prompt action in taking
steps to SUPPRESS the rebellion.
The mines are guarded by fifteen
companies of soldiers tonight, with Or
ders to shoot to kill, and IL another

LEXINGTON, Ky. July l7.-Fayette
county held the two chief Ashland dis
trict congressional opponents today,
Col. Breckenridge speaking at Donerail,
and Mr.. Owens at Muirs. There were
many ladies present at both meetings.
Tie women at Donerail threw bou Quets
at Breckinridge by the score. ana the
piouS element was shocked when he
compared them to the women
OF old who sympathized with
Stephen when stones were being
cast at him. Breckenridge left for
Washington today after kissing his son
Desha good bye in the presence of
audience. Mr.. Owens handled Breck-
inridge's congressional record without
gloves. He said the reason why the
colonel had done nothing for the Ken
lucky river appropriation was because
he was attorney for the Chesapeake IL
Ohio railroad.
Ii the voters thought Settle better
man than himself, they should send
him. since he (Owens) would rather see
anybody go to congress from the Ash
land district than to have Breckenridge
further disgrace it.
