THE MID-wINTER FAIR ENDED
Reenlars in Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 4.-Taken in its en-
tirety, the day has been a quiet one in
strike circles, barring an occasional
furry caused by the gathering of mobs
in the stockyard district, which, how
ever, were held in check by police and
deputies, brcked up by the near prox-
unity of a d.tachment of regulars from
Fort Sheridan, for whom the strikers
have wholesome respect. Trains are
once more moving at Blue Island, the
turbulent element having suddenly
scattered down when confronted by
pieces of ordinance and glittering bayo-
nets. After the troops disembarked at
the stockyards, the strikers vented their
spleen by ditching the two rear coa",ses
of the troop train, and disabled the en-
gine by showing coupling pins into the
cross-head guides, being careful, how
ever, to wait until the regulars were a
safe distance away.
The Chicago and Northwestern today
resumed its passenger service, which is
now running regularly and without in
reference. The Illinois Central an
nounces that its suburban passenger
service will be resumed tomorrow. The
Atchison & Topeka and Alton service is
seriously crippled, though the formers
passenger trains are moving on time.
the Baltimore & Ohio passenger service
is normal, while the Nickel Plates
freight service is at standstill, and
passenger trains are irregular. The
Chicago & Calumet Terminal is at a
standstill. The Michigan Central sent
out train of 40 cars of meat today.
The Pennsylvania announces that it
will be moving perishable freight to and
from Chicago tomorrow.
AT THE STOCK YARDS.
UNION STOCK YARDS, ILL.,, July A.
Soon after 2 p. m. train was seen COM
ing into the yards on the Lake Shore
road at Fortieth and West avenue. The
mob that had been lettering around
Halstead street since the first trouble
this morning, Immediately started to-
ward the train with the intention of in
tercepting it. The train was made up
of three passenger cars, containing six
artillery and five cavalry companies of
United States troops, IN all about 175
men, together with ten cars of cavalry
horses and two fiat cars loaded with
half dozen gattling guns. On the en-
gine and tender were stationed eight ar
tillerymen with pistol in one hand
and rife in the other. Troops were
on top of the box cars with loaded rifles,
which they held in threatening posi-
tion.
With this formidable showing the
troops failed to intimidate the crowd,
who at once uncoupled the two rear
cars and threw several switches. Then
they crowded around the engine and
succeeded in getting the engineer to
abandon his post. A nonunion man
who accompanied the soldiers, and who
is said to be cousin of William Pinker-
ton, the detective, volunteered his SER
vice to act as engineer. The train
started again, after connecting the cars
that had been uncoupled, out it had not
proceeded more than about a block
when the cars were again uncoupled,
this time in the center. The troops
were then ordered out of the cars and
marched along the train on both sides,
clearing the way and keeping the mob
back until the train was made up and
started for the yards, arriving at the
depot at o'clock. The troops inn
mediately went into camp at Dexter
Park.
