Device to Prevent Accidents.

At the corner of the Columbus de-
pot platform three railway tracks
cross. So many trains meet here that
accidents are frequent and the roads
have just spent $4,000 in device to
prevent them. A man will occupy a
switch tower every minute. One hun
-dred yards from the crossing in
every direction the railroads have a
derailing switch, so that train seek
ing to cross without stopping will
be ditched. The tower man will close
this switch in turn for all trains and
signal to come ahead.

COMPANY SENDS IN MONEY
Mob Threatens to Attack the Police Head

Mob Threatens to Attack the Police Head
quarters, Which Is Guarded.
Provisions were sent there to feed
them and the men held mass meet
ing at the place. AS their leaders
made the most inflammable sort of
speeches grave fears are entertained
for the outcome. An attempt was made
to put the street car system in the
Canadian 500, which suspended opera
lions in the morning after an attack
had been made upon it, into operation
again. Two cars were sent out heayl-
" guarded. Inasmuch as most of the
rioters were not in the streets at the
time this trial was made no disorder
occurred
1t is estimated that there are 1000
men in the 500, and these are rein
forced by all the idle rabble in town.
A train carrying 400 more wOOdmen is
expected to arrive. The local police
force is being strengthened by the adj
dition Of all the deputies who can be
found, each man being given badge
and a revolver and ordered to use
the latter whenever necessary.
COnsiderab BILE feeling has been
aroused over the shooting Of two
Frenchmen by the police during the
trouble in the morning. The rioters
allege that the officers used their re-
yolvers when it was unnecessary.
Neither of the men is fatally hurt,
however. The mob threatens an attack
upon police headquarters with view
Of effecting the release of all the men
who have been arrested. Both this
building and that occupied by the fire
department Is guarded against attack.
The problem the developments has
created is beyond the solution of any
of the company officials ON the ground.
Apparently their only hope is that the
anger Of the mob will spend itself and
that the men will get out of town by
degrees. The cause Of the riot is that
the company is in the hands of re-
ceiver, and the men have not been paid
their wages, although discharged.

SEQUEL OF A GREAT FAILURE

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, Sept. 90
The situation in the Canadian 500,
which has been the scene of serious
rioting by the discharged employees OF
the Consolidated Lake Superior COM
pany, is very grave. No reinforcements
of militia have arrived from the out
side at this writing, and the only de-
Tense against the mob, which grows
hourly, is more or less demoralized

of militia. An assault upon the Of
fee building by the mob early in the
afternoon, before the arrival on the
ground Of troops, was successful, and
a mass of .frenzied rioters secured
possession of the ground floor Of the
building, destroying everything nova

Troops Arrive on the Ground.

A force of the office staff, with drawn
revolvers, prevented their gaining ac-
cess to the upper floors of the building.
Every window and door in the build
ing is smashed in. The arrival OF
the troops on the grounds, armed with
ball cartridges, about 2 p. m. served
to restore some semblance Of order
The rioters then contented themselves
with throwing stones at the building
and hurting invectives at the soldiers,
who established 'dead-line" and pre-
vented any approach toward the build
ing by any of the rioters. The great
est number of the mob are of ignorant
Italians, Firms, Norwegians and
Frenchmen, the latter perhaps the
hardest of all to handle.
Demand for Food Is Agreed To.
All have been drinking more or less,
although the bars finally obeyed the

man they seem most anxious to get
at is Coyne, the assistant manager,
who in the absence of Shields is in
charge of the works. Coyne has
discreetly kept out Of sight. Late IN
the afternoon the leaders of the mob
held a conference and demanded that
the company house the men in their
hoteland boarding house and feed them
until the money for their wages is
forthcoming In order to appease the
crowd this demand was granted, and
the men took possession of the White
House, alarge boarding house operated
by the company.
