TERROa IN CHICAGO.
One Man Killed and Many Injured
in 4 tuesdays Rioting.

A Chicago special says: The death Of
one man and the injury OF scores OF 9th
ei3 was the immediate result of Tues
days fighting between the striking team
sters and their sympathizers on the one
side and the police and the non-union
men on the other. There were riots in
all parts of the city. Men were dubbed
and stoned almost to death within a
square OF police headquarters and five
miles away men were shot down in the
streets. At a hundred places between
these two extremes of disturbance there
were assaults and fights in the streets.
Blood was shed on State Street, i'll the
heart Of the fashionable shopping dis
trict, and furious riots took place al
most in the doorways Of the leading ho-
tells.
Non-union men were pelted with
stones, bricks and every other conceiv-
able sort of missile. They were dragged
from their wagons, beaten, dubbed and
stamped POI Tie mobs that followed
the wagons on which they rode were
ugly in the extreme, and but Tor the
HpitIlNlu stINiCf IellNltIGl ny lIt pDlltS
force the list of dead would be twenty to
thirty.
In return the non-union men, although
hopelessly outnumbered in every struggle,
fought desperately. In several instances
they drew their reyolvers and emptied
them into the crowds that pressed around
their wagons, pelting them with stones
and threatening their lives. The colored
drivers especially were quick with their
weapons.
The strike situation in Chicago as
sumed a peculiar aspect Tuesday, and
Tuesday night the interests which have
been opposing the striking teamsters are
not united as heretofore. The cause Of
this slight dissension is the Team Own
ers' Association, which has contracts
with the railroads and many of the large
firms throughout the city to transfer
their merchandise.
The Team Owners Association, which
employs none but union transfers, fatty
refused Tuesday afternoon to make deliv-
cries to any of the firms now involved in
the strike when ordered to do so by the
Employers Association. When the en-
ployers received this information they no
titled the team owners that unless they
recognized the request that no discrimi-
nation be made in deliveries an effort
would be made TO have ali existing con-
tracts between the team owners and the
business houses and the railroads can
celled.

TORNADO AT OMAHA
THREE PERSONS KILLED AND
SIX INJURED.
Raised and Falls Back Upon the
Waiis-An Hour Passed Before
the Victims Could be Rescued.

Three persons were killed and six in
jured, none fatally, by the collapse of a
three-story building at Thirtieth and
Grace Streets, Omaha, late Wednesday.
The building was occupied by the Omaha
Casket Company, and the killed and in
jured were with one exception employees
OF the concern.
The dead are Jacob Kirschner, AZ, as
sistant shipping clerk; l.. Mon Martin, a
collector. aged %, and Henry Dietl, aged
40, foreman.
The collapse of the casket factory was
due to a heavy wind storm which at Il
point near the factory assumed the pro-
portions and action Of a small tornado.
The building was a substantial one Of
brick, three stories high. The collapse
came without warning. w. A. Smith,
the shipping clerk, who was the first to
eXtricate himself, said he saw a storm
coming and went to a door to close il.
just as he reached the door the whirling
storm struck the building. The roof was
raised into the air and dropped, causing
the heavy brick walls to collapse. Those
inside the building were carried down,
some to death, while they were at work.
A terrific storm Of rain and hail follow
ed the destruction of the building, several
inches OF water falling in n very short
time.
A hundred employees of a brewery To-
Gated near the casket factory rushed To
the latter building and at once began the
work of rescuing the unfortunate factory
employees. At the same time a call was
sent to the police and fire departments.
each of which sent a large detail or men
to the scene. When they reached the
collapsed building only one person.
Smith, had managed to extricate himself,
but the cries of the injured and dying un-
der the debris Were plainly heard. 1t
was an hour before the injured weK res
cued.
The monetary loss is about $50 of
which $4,000 is on the stock. The stock
was owned by the Iowa Coffin Com
pany, of Dubuque, H., and the building
by local capitalists. The greater part of
the stock will be nearly a total loss.
The dead bodies were removed to the
coroner's office, where an inquest will be
held.
City Building Inspector Withheld said
the factory had been recently inspected
and that it was in a substantial condi-
ton.
All the windows were open at the time
the storm struck the building, and to that
fact IL attributed the raising OF the roof
by the wind, which was followed by the
collapse OF the walls.

RiO1lNG INCREASING.
Situation in Chicago Grows Worse
and Worse.

Conditions in the Transfers strike az
Chicago We're worse Monday than III any
preceding time. The strikers were in a
more ugly mood. The rioting was more
opeE and vicious, and the attacks on
%non-union men were frequent and more
daring than at any time since the COM
mencement Of the trouble. The chief
cause for the increased belligerency on
the part Of the strikers and their friends
is laid TO the fact that the Employers
Teaming Association has brought 1900
men into the city to take their places,
and that 500 more are said to be now
on the way. These men will receive the
full pay of union men, and it has been
guaranteed to them that their positions
will be permanent. Among them are 200
farmer boys from all the surrounding
states, who have volunteered their serv-
ices and sought positions as drivers.
Monday a new feature appeared in the
strike, and it will be i'll full evidence
whenever a wagon of the Employers
leaning Company goes through the
streets. This feature will be the Win

ISOLATION in open view. During the last
week there has been much complaint on
the part of the strike sympathizers of
the readiness with which the non-union
men, particularly the negroes, have
dra wn and used revOlvers. \ number Of
them have been arrested on the charge Of
carrying concealed weapons and Monday
the attorneys of the Employers leaning
Company called upon Chief of Police
O'Neill and asked if their men had not
the right to carry weapons provided they
were held in open view and were not
concealed. Chief O'Neill replied that
there was no law against it, and ar
engagements were promptly made by the
employers to place Winchesters or every
one Of their wagons. Over 1000 Of the
weapons were purchased Monday, and
during the latter part of the afternoon
a number of wagons went through the
streets with a rifle lying across the knees
of the driver and his assistants.

COUNCIL IN a DEADLOCK.
Cannot Agree on City Attorney for
Watertown.

The WATERFOWL mayor and city coun-
ell are trying to select a city attorney,
and find it a very difficult task. Mayor
Bush on Monday night presented three
names to the council, w. S. Glass, A.
Sherin and Charles Schulz, asking the
aldermen to name the appointee. The
council tried by secret ballot to make a
choice, but after working until almost
midnight, were unable to center FIVE
votes for any one Of the candidates.
The power Of appointing lies with the
mayor, who is facing political promises
to all three candidates, and it is to get
out of his boat that he asks the council
to choose.

FREAK WORK OF LIGHTNING
Boys Sitting in a Barn Have a Mar
row Escape.

During 4 severe electrical storm light
ming did some queer "stunts" about the
farm house of Peter Jordan, eight miles
northwest of Vermillion. His three boys
were sitting in the barn doors, two down
stairs and one in the haymow, watching
the big hailstones fall. Suddenly a bolt
of lightning shot down. 1t shattered the
sill on which the two boys were located,
tearing big splinters from one end. Earl,
the youngest lad, had his back badly
burned and his hair caught fire. The
other brother was not injured in the least
and was not long in going to the relief of
Earl. The lad in the hayloft received a
pretty severe shock, his limbs being
numbed to such an extent that he had
to be carried into the house.
A very strange thing in connection
with the freak bolt is that on one side Of
the barn two horses were standing in al
stall and one of them was killed. On the
other side of the barn two other horses
were eating nay. One of these was
killed also, while the other was knocked
down.

When General Superintendent Under
wood was out there Il few days ago he

purpose of transporting rails and ties to
the other side of the river to commence
laying them as soon as the graders get
far enough ahead. The boat is large
enough to carry an engine over, and
one will be sent as soon as the rails are
laid. Freight cars carrying material will
also be transported on the boat, which
will save a great deal of handling.
The pontoon bridge will hardly be fin
