a TraiB on the Illinois Central Read
Loaded with Negroes Attacked
by a Crowd of Strikers.
FIRE 4 vOLlEY INTO IHE CROWDED CARS


Murphysboro, Ill, July 1.At nine
o'clock Friday morning Conductor Will
liam Bryan's train, on the johnson City
branch of the Illinois Central, bearing
AZ negro miners from Pana, was shot
into by crowd of miners at Lawder, in
Williamson county. One negro woman
was killed by bullet through her
heart. The negroes were brought by
Sam T. Brush, superintendent of the
st. Louis and Big Muddy mines, near
Carterville, to work in his mine, where
there is now strike. The miners, so
in number, were armed with rifles and
were hidden in the grass behind the
country depot. When the train stopped
the leader, who was an Italian, got on
the platform and commanded the me-
igroes to get out. Conductor Bryan in-
terfered, but was stopped by re-
volver in his face. The train began
to move and the miners poured in
a withering fire. Conductor Bryan
yelled to the negroes to throw them
selves on the floor. All escaped serious
wounds save the woman, who was killed
instantly. Half mile further and the
negroes were unladen and placed under
charge of guards. They were then
marched to the mine. Intense excite
ment prevails in the Carterville coal
field and bloody riots are expected, as
the feeling has been intense for weeks.
Scene Of Other Conhicts.
The mines operated by Mr.. Brush
have been the scene of other conflicts
and the men have felt bitterly his con-
duct and disposition toward them. He
has persistently refused to recognize
the United Mineworkers of America
or any other organized body of his
employees. He has treated his men only
as individuals. For years the battle
has ragged over his mine and the union
has fought him incessantly. In 1896
serious riot occurred which required
the presence of company M, of Marion,
and company c, of Carbondale, to put
down. Since then the men have been
more embittered, as he succeeded in
working his shaft with nonunion help.
Victims Take Revenge.
Marion, Ill, July An attack upon
negro miners being imported to take
the places of strikers at the Carterville
mines, when bullets flew thick and fast,
was avenged by the victims Of the dead
" assault, when they set fire to Union
City, q settlement of the striking min
ers. The flames spread to every part of
the town, and it was almost entirely de-
stroyed, leaving 100 families homeless.

At the storms Mercy.
The barge Margaret Olwill left Kel-
ly's island at six o'clock Wednesday
night bound for Cleveland with a cargo
of stone. There was little or no wind
blowing and everything was favorable
for 9 pleasant run. At eight o'clock the
wind began to blow from the northwest
and the little boat with thousand tons
capacity began to go at a lively clip. At
ten o'clock the gale commenced and the
wind blew. at the rate of so miles an
hour. Suddenly the gale turned to the
northeast and Capt. Brown found that
the boat was making little headway
and concluded the only thing to do was
to turn back and go with the storm. Ac-
5cording to the story of Coyle twas two
o'clock when the captain gave the or
der to turn about. The vessel had
turned half way round when the rudder
chain parted and in aninstant the boat
was at the mercy of the storm. She was
caught between two waves and as she
was borne along the top Of one Of them
she rolled over on the side. The cabins
came loose from the hull of the barge
and foated on the water while the rest
of the ship went to the bottom. Wheth-
ger any of the occupants were able to
take advantage of this it is not known,
but Coyle says he saw Schinski, the sec
sond engineer, and Heffron, the wheel
man, after the boat went down, but
that was all. Coyle caught hold of part
of the after cabin and climbed upon it.
sHeffron was clinging to part Of the
same cabin. s$

The rescue Of Coyle was effected with
difficulty. Expert linemen walked up
and down the steamer, and every time
the big boat could be worked near him
q line would be thrown. Finally he
reached one of them, and quickly got
it around his body. He was more dead
than alive when taken in. He was sur
rounded by the passengers of the boat,
who heartily congratulated him on his
plucky effort. Capt. Willoughby said
that he did not leave the spot till he
was sure every person alive had been
rescued. IT was an awful gale" said
the captain, ''and the worst have seen
