TROOPS CALLED OUT.
Cleveland Street Car Strike Assumes
Threatening Aspect.

~ threatening aspect
Cleveland, o.: The street railway strike
is assuming u more threatening aspect.
AT O'Clock p. m. Friday Mayor Farley
ordered the naval reserves to prepare for
strike duty. This organization. l04 strong,
slept at the armory Friday night, awaiting
the further orders of the mayor. A mob
of 5000 men collected on Wilson Avenue
and threw stones at every car that came
A.2ng y squad of twenty policemen tried
to keep order and only partly succeeded,
the disorder continuing until the cars
stopped running at II p. m. They were
compelled to charge the mob repeatedly,
using their heavy riot clubs. and many
broken heads are the result. One arrest
was made.
An attempt WAS made to blow up a street
car with dynamite. The car was nearly
joltcd from the track but was not stopped.
The half dozen passengers on board were
badly frightened but none Of them were
injured. There is no clue TO the perpetra-
tors. About the same time on Pearl Street.
on til. South side, three non-union street
railway men, who had left tue Holdmen
Avenue barns to purchase tobacco, were
pursued by a bowling mob. One Of the
fngitives fired a revolver, but hit no one.
At this time the police arrived and
charged the crowd, scattering it quickly.
In the confusion a number Of women who
were in the crowd were thrown down and
a little girl struck by Il p%oliceman's club
and severely injured.

INJUNCTION AGAINST MINERS
Sweeping Ruling in Kansas Strike

Sweeping Ruling in Kansas Strike
Is Made at Fort Scott
Judge Williams, in the Federal Court at
Fort Scott, Kan, on Wednesday, after lis
,cning to arguments for many hours,
granted injunctions against President
Wright of the Fourteenth District OF the
United Iron Workers of America, against
the executive board in charge of the south
east Kansas strike and against every union
miner. The right of speech and induce
ment was reserved for the defendant, who
fought the injunction hard. One of the
coal companies sought, by motion. to have
the United Mine Workers. Union declared
an illegal organization, but the court re-
fused to do this.
The defendants and all other persons
who may combine, confederate or con-
spire with them, are severally and collec-
lively enjoincd from interfering with, hin
dering. boycotting, O%bstructing the bust
ness of The coal companies or from EN-
tering on the premises or congregating
near their property or from threatening,
i~ntimidating. boycotting or molesting any
employe of the company.

BIG RAILWAY DEAL.
Negotiations Under Way for a Com.
plete Trunk Line.

Negotiations Under Way for a Com.
plete Trunk Line.
TheNew York Herald on Thursday Gays.
A deal is under way involving the combs
nation of atleastfour prominent railroads,
and perhaps two or three more, making a
complete trunk line from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. The scheme involves several
of the properties in which E. ii. Hartman,
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and Speyer e. Co, are
interested, and with their friends exert q
controlling influence. Among these prop
critics are the Union Pacific, the Illinois
Central, the Chicago and Alton, the Chi
cago Terminal Transportation Company,
the Oregon Short Line, the Oregon Rail-
way and Navigation Company, and the
Baltimore and Ohio. 1t is asserted in some
quarters that the Great Northern will
come in, but this is considered doubtful,
although James j. Hill is closely associ-
ated with several gentlemen who are prom
inent in the railroads mentioned. This
combination will give a compact system
and bring about q revolution in traffic alli-
anccs. The importance of The deal may
be judged from the fact that the combined
mileage of the roads is l1.44l miles, and
the capitalization sos, 226S, 900.

NATIONAL COMMITTEES MEET
Democratic Leaders Hold a Har.
monfoua Seaaion In Chicnn o

.'s''ssoCTosaC ktOlQ . Haes
monfous Session in Chicago.
No friction developed in the m,eeting of
the Democratic National Committee in
Chicago Thursday. Not a single warlike
note was sounded, and no defiances were
uttered either by the men who demand
that 16 to l shall be the rallying cry in the
next campaign or by those who oppose its
adoption. The only movement made
by the silver men looking
toward recognition by the Ma
tional Committee was when the Ohio BIZ
metallic League was admitted L the COM
mittee room and James p. Tarvin of Ken
lucky, acting as spokesman, read the reso-
lutions adopted by the committee at their
meeting early in the day at the Palmer
House. These resolutions demanded that
planks be inserted in the next Democratic
national platform opposing trusts, oppos-
ing imperialism, adtering to the silver
ratio of Is to l, and ~favoring the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Bryan for president in 1900.
And along these lines we offer you our
aid" said Mr.. Tarvin.
There was u defiant accent upon the
word "these'' that seemed to imply that
the support of the bimetallists could be ye-
cured along no other lines than those
marked out, but of this the committee took
no notice. The Ohio Bimctallic League
was courteously thanked for its protfcr of
assistance and assured that it would be
called upon at such times as the National
Committee felt in need of its assistance.
That was the beginning and end of the
silver episode.
+. ID. Devlin, editor Of the press bureau
OF the National Committee, was dcposed for
the part taken by him as an officer Of the
National Committee in the last mayoralty
election in Chicago.
w. j. Bryan addressed a large meeting
in the Auditorium.

flesh being cooked over Il space from three
to six inches wide by twenty inches long.
Mrs. Mckay was also terribly burned on
both limbs from the knees to the soles of

other persons asleep i'm the house when the
