THE ORDER EFFECTIVE
Union Transfers Today Take Part In
Packinqhouse Strike.


Chicago, Aug 9-The union team
sters are to be the principal weapon
which the labor leaders propose to use
to win the stockyards strike. Orders
have been issued to drivers of ice
wagons to deliver no more ice to butch
ers who buy of the big packers or to
any of the branch houses of the pack
ing plants where the men are now on
strike. A list of more than 200 retail
dealers who have been buying meat
from the so-called trust packers and
hauling away with their own wagons
has been compiled and, according to
the claims of the strike leaders, the ice
supply will be cut off from every one
of these places. Arrangements have
been made to have pickets stationed at
all the retail markets which have been
placed under the ban of the unions to
see that the boycott is enforced to the
limit.
This order is duplication of the one
issued last week, but which was never
enforced because it had not been sane
toned by the international officers of
the teamsters' union. At Cincinnati,
where the international Brotherhood
of Transfers is in session, the neces-
sary Endorsement of the proposed boy
colt was given and the belated order
was put in force this morning. All the
packing plants are operating here with
slightly increased forces of workmen.

Three towns, Roosevelt, Burke and
Gregory, have been started. There
was some excitement for a while, but

STRUCK BROKEN RAIL

Near Indianapolis.

Fast Train on the vandaIia Burned
Near indianapolis.
indianapolis, Aug. drumming at
the rate of forty miles an hour, an east
bound Vandalia train from ST. Louis
struck a broken rail at Plainfield, eigh-
teen miles west of this city, late yes
terday afternoon, and five coaches left
the track and caught fire. Several of
the passengers were slightly injured,
but none was killed or seriously hurt.
The burning cars set fire to the Plain
field grain elevator at the side of the
track, which was entirely consumed.
The train struck a broken rail at
point near the elevator, and Immediate
ly east of the station, where the track
runs at the top of a twelve or fifteen
foot embankment. The cars bumped
along for some distance before they
left the track The fire came imme-
diately, supposedly from an explosion
of gas in the storage tanks. The in
iured persons were carried into the sta
ton, and all the physicians of the
little town were summoned to the
scene. indianapolis was appealed to
for aid in fighting the fire. An engine
and a chemical were placed on cars
and hurried to the town. The town
has no fire protection.
Many passengers on the train had
marvellous escapes from injury, as
some of the derailed cars were COM
pletely overturned. The injuries con-
sisted mainly of cuts from broken

NEARING A CRISIS
Decisive Action Cannot Long BE De-
ferred at Port Arthur.

ferred at Port Arthur.
Chefoo, Aug. 9.-During the last
twenty-four hours 200 Chinese and so
Russian refugees have arrived here
from Port Arthur. They almost all
left there on Aug. 3. 1t has been i'm
possible to obtain confirmation of the
report of the sinking off Port Arthur
of a Japanese cruiser, but that this
occurred is not denied, as the vessel
is said to have sunk in place where
mines have recently been laid.
Two French newspaper correspond
ents who made an attempt to reach
Port Arthur by junk, saw the Japanese
fleet on Aug. 6. They were twice ar
rested and turned back. They heard
nothing of the alleged sinking of a
Japanese cruiser. They counted
twenty-four vessels of the Japanese
fleet ranged in a double semi-circle in
front of the harbor.
This last batch of refugees, several
of whom witnessed part of three days
fighting of the week before last, say
that the Japanese troops are about six
miles from the inner forts.
The Japanese are busy endeavoring
to work their trenches nearer the for
tress. The Russian resistance to these
efforts is confined to the use of artil-
lery, which ceaselessly harnesses the
diggers. The japanese are said to
have sixty guns in position on VOLTS
hill and vicinity, and it is evidently
their intention to slowly and surely
tighten their moose around Port Ar
thur.

consume before they are ready to adj

the place intended for the picture and otherwise ornaments it. M'Greevy had seen him at this work and had him make a frame with the raised inscrip- tion under it, From Your Affectionate Husband" Captain M'Donald was with MGreevy at the time and when the inscription had been finished the artist asked him what name he would have embossed. Never mind the name,' replied M'Greevy. The picture is that of a young and handsome wo- man who MGreevy afterward said was his second wife. He said also that he had two children by his first wife. One of them, a daughter is a teacher in the schools of O'NeiH and the other a son, is holding a responsible and re- munerative position there.
 By this time the prisoner had quit playing solitaire and was weeping. Captain M'Donald called on him and found him ready to confess his identi- ity. He said that the most foolish thing he had done was to run away from O'Neill and it was then thar he said that he would go back without requisition.
 He did not at that time speak Of the affairs of the bank but later in the day he said that he had really little to do with the bank; that he was the pres ident of it only in name and had not a dollars interest in it. He said that the books of the bank would show that he had really been employed as bookkeeper. He said that he was the city treasurer of O'Neill and was also treasurer of the school district. Short ly before he left O'Neill he had in his possession school funds to the amount of g 500 which he had turned over- He had also made a settlement with the city. He had been aware for two months that the bank was going to fail and when it was closed on the night of November 23 he told his attorney about his intention to leave for Ari- zona. The attorney advised him not to do so and assured him that if he would remain he would be in no dan ger.
 M'Greevy said that Eagerly was the real head of the bank and that if any of the funds were stolen they had been stolen by him. He said that he did not leave with Hagerty and had not been informed until yesterday that Hagerty was a fugitive.
 When M'Greevy was arrested he had S10 but it was learned that he had S1,- O00 on deposit in the Phoenix National bank.
 The Nebraska authorities had offered $500 reward for his arrest and it is | thought that the reward had been sub- sequently increased. So, Captain M'Donald made quite a good day of ii 1 considering that yesterday was not a
 working day.

WILD ATLANTIC GALES
New York Swept by a Terrific Snow
 Storm.

New York, Dec. 1S.-The snow storm and gale which struck the coast yesterday and continued until early this morning was the most violent that has occurred for several years. Re ports from the New Jersey and New England coasts and from incoming steamers tell of furious gales and many disasters. So heavy was the snowfall that lights could not be seen on the river boats a boats length ahead. and the ferryboats and other craft proceeded at diminished speed, blowing whistles and feeling their way cautiously through the blinding storm.
 No accident of any moment is re- ported. In the city, the snow, which began to fall yesterday afternoon, fell almost without intermission until early this morning. by which time eighteen inches had fallen. There is little interruption of travel, 13,00O snow shovelers and 4,00O teams being set at work as soon as the snow had ceased falling, to clean the principal thoroughfares. In the afternoon the weather cleared, and with the coming of bright weather, Central park and the Speedway were thronged with sleighs.
 Three feet of snow on the level was the record of the storm in the east end of Long Island, and as a result trains are delayed.

POISONED AND BURNED
A Horrible Crime in Sight of Colorado
 Springs.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Dec. 1S.- Within sight of the city of Colorado Springs, on the point of Mount Cutler has been found the nude body of young woman, evidently murdered. Not content with murdering the girl by administering poison, the murderer then stripped the body of every yes tige of clothing and placing the body across a siX-inch log poured oil over the head and burned it in the evident hope of forever destroying all possi- bility of Identification. The clothing and jewelry were then removed and probably buried in some remote DOT tion of the canon.
 The body is that of a girl between sixteen and eighteen years of age and bears every indication of refinement. The head and shoulders and upper DOT tions of the breasts were badly burned from the oil fire, which the murderer
