Packing Company Drivers and
Police Badly Used Up
by Mobs.
HOT BATTLES WITH RIOTERS.
Hospitals overcrowded With Injured.
Probably 1000 Hurt During Yester
day-PolIce Fire dshots over
Crowd In One Melee.

Chicago, June 5.-Driven by men
covered with dust and blood, many OF
them barely able from exhaustion to
hold the reins in their hands, SO meat
wagons entered the main gate of the
Union stock yards last night, amid
q shower of stones, bricks, bottles
and sticks. The wagons, guarded by
five police wagons filed with blue
coats and two omnibuses crowded to
the fullest capacity with policemen,
were on the return from a delivery
of supplies to downtown provision
houses, after one of the fiercest days
in the strike of the beef packers
transfers Many of the drivers, who
are officials at the packing houses,
were cut and bruised from head to
foot. The police were in even worse
condition.
Probably a Fatal Assault.
The wagon drivers had been work,
ing from O'Clock in the morning,
and their progress from the stock
yards into the city's business district
and back again had been contested
bitterly by mobs of strike sympathiz-
ers. At the very entrance of the
stock yards last night, after all seem
ing danger had passed, George June,
an employee of the Anglo-American
Packing company, was struck by a
baseball bat and knocked from his
wagon seat. He was picked up in an
unconscious condition and, it is be-
lieYed, he may die. Many others were
struck at the same time by a shower
of stones, but the police were too
Worn out to offer resistance.
More than dozen battles were
fought during the day between the
rioters and the police and the hos
pitfalls last night were overcrowded
with the injured. The fiercest battle
of the day took place yesterday after
noon at Sixteenth street and Michi-
gan avenue. The rioters stood on
the yiaduct and hurled rocks at the
meat wagons passing underneath.
The throng was the most formidable
in numbers and in daring of any of
the crowds that gathered during the
day. Before this mob could be dis
persed the police were compelled to
use revolyers. More than so shots
were fred bullets passing over the
heads of the crowd, which finally be-
came frightened and scattered, but
not until many of the rioters and po-
licemen had suffered serious injuries.
1t was estimated that probably 1000
people were injured during the day.
Clashing Interests Conferred.
A conference was held last night
between representatives of the pack
ers and the teamsters, looking to
settlement of the strike. President
Frederick w. Job, chairman of the
state board of arbitration, brought
about the meeting. A settlement of
the strike Of the drivers of delivery
wagons of the retail State street de-
partment stores earlier in the day
formed the basis on which the oppos-
ing elements hoped to effect COM
promise.

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and
the Civil War. 1S61-1S65.

1t was the first and most desira BILE
pciDt of vantage coveted by both the
Federal and Confederate armies. In
May 1861, the four Federal advance
columns concentrated at Petersburg
w. Va, Wheeling, w. Va, Harper's
Ferry, w. Va, and at Washington.
To retain the advantage, the Federal
government established block houses
along the railroad from the Monocacy
IL the Ohio river, besides forts at
Winchester, Harper's Ferry, Cumber-
land, Piedmont aud New Greek, (Key-
ser) The B. & O. was the base OF
operations for the Federal army for
nearly four years and from which the
government could not take advance
line earlier than November 1864.
The B. & O. was the means of COM
munication between the West and
the Army Of the Potomac, and was
consequently in a continual state of
siege. Harper's Ferry the key TO the
Shenandoah Valley, first famed
through the fanatical attempt of
John Brown, in defying the laws and
customs of his country, was captured
or recaptured eight times 10 three
years. The Government Arsenal and
armories which were located there,
were destroyed by the government to
prevent their capture. One hundred
and seventy nine battles Of greater
Importance were fought on or ada
cent to the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
not taking into consideration the in
Vulnerable skirmishes.
All through trains from st. Louis,
Louisville, Cincinnati, Chicago, Co
lumbus, Cleveland, Wheeling and
Pittsburg to the East, run via
Washington.
