A fe" began to pry at the windows Of
the Office, when I'atrOlman Gibbons, whO
was once union workman addressed
the crowd "nd partially quieted il. Two
patrol wagon loads of police arrived lust
at this time and a guard was posted in
front of the building. Long before this
Mayor Mll[isaon, Police Director Alb
bott, Lieut.. Col. Whitney of the Fifth
regiment, Aud others were gathered for
consultation. Word of the critical con-
dition OF affairs was teephoned to
them FROM the Bishop BabCock office
and d request made for militia. The
mayor responded by ordering the Cleve-
land Cify Guards and Company T. to
the scene OF the riot. The guards ar
rived first, Just ae the mob Was prepar-
ing for another effort to capture Saun-
derR. AS the soldiers came down the
street the mob shrieked and hoWied, and
the guards were compelled to open a
way for themselves with leveled bayo-
nets. Several men aud boys wero
slightly wounded by the soldiers. The
guards formed in front of the Office, and
just then Company f was seen alight
ing from the street cars a block away.
Amid the frenzy of excitement on
the part Of the dense crowd, the patrol
wagon was backed to the door of the
Office aud Saunders was jerkcd into it
and made to lie on the bottom The
guards formed around it with bayonets
at "chargo' and they forced their way
down Hamilton street, part of the howl
ing mob aurging along with them. To
heighten the excitement, Detective
| Sprosty, as a warning, stood up in the
patrol wagon and shot his revolver into
the air. The wagon and soldiers pro-
ceeded rapidly until the crowd had
thinned, when the guard opened ranks
and the wagon sped on to the cen
trail police station at a run,
Saunders, whose head is badly cut
and his body a mass of bruises, is pris-
oner, charged with the killing of Reti-
ger. Company f, in charge of Mai. Lie
bich, marched to the center of the crowd
that remained behind. The soldiers
were menaccd and ieered. Maj. Liebich
halted hl5 men, drew his revolver and
declared that upon the slightest attempt
at viOlelCC he would give the command
to fire. After that the noise ceased and
the crowd scattered, the company return
ing TO Its quarters. The mayor will
cause d proclamation, declaring the riot
act to be in force, to be posted in the
neighborhood of the Brown works to-
morrow morning.

CHIcAGo, July 2.-The meeting OF
Chairman Harrity and the executive
committee and the silver democratic
committee are the first events since the
arrival of the silver men. Reports to
thr executive committee are that pre-
liminary arrangements in connection
with the convention hall and necessary
adiuncts have been completed, and that
in these respects the preparations will
he concluded in ample time for the
opcnpg next Tuesday. SO far as the
work of the convention is concerned,
tbr situation is very chaotic. But one
thing has been made clear, and that if
that the silver forces will be in
the majority, but whether they will
be able to assert their majority
on the temporary organization, whether
they will have the necessary two-thirds
to nominate candidates. or in case the!
have not, whether they will abrogate the
two-thirde rule, or who they will nomi
nate, are questions which are still in the
air, and which must depend for their so
luton upon the future. Silver men who
have arrived are a unit in their deter
mination to control the convention, ano
to yield to no compromise, and events, &c
far as they have unfolaed, indicate that
if there is any effort to thwart them in
this matter, the convention will become

CLEvELAoD, July 2.-The strike at the
Brown llosting company's works has
reached point where the authorities, also
the strikers, are in no mood for tritllng.
When the non-union men left the works
at 5 clock this afternoon there was
rioting. Two hundred and fifty police
mon emerged from the gates, guarding
53 workmen. An immense crowd had
gathered block away, but the police
took new route and eluded them for
the moment. The strikers set up yell
and ran, soon overtaking the march
ing column. A hugh moving van was in
the rear, filled with strikers, and with it
snail wagon laden with empty beer
bottles The police suspected that the
bottles were intended as missiles and
compelled the driver of the wagon to
turn back At Wilson avenue and
Euclid railroad train blocked the way
and an effort was made to drive the
van through the guard of police,
The officers dragged to the ground
the driver; Fred W. liearn, a moving
contractor, and the man on the seat be-
side him, w. j. O'NeiIl, a paving con-
tractor. These men resisted and the
police used their clubs on them with
such effect that heir heads were soon Il
swollen masscs of cuts. O'Neil's ankle
was broken. The strikers in the van
jumped out and the police charged the
crowd, using their clubs on all the heads
within reach. Frank Coopcnhcrker,
mac hinist, returning from work, and
not Il striker, was caught in crowd and
severely cluhbcd On the head. llcarn
