Hamilton Lewis, corporation counsel

to serve sentence of sixty days in
the Sangamon county Jail for contempt
of court. The sentence was imposed
by Judge Humphrey of the federal

court in bringing suit in violation of
the courts injunction. He further de-
clared Judge Humphrey had exceeded
his jurisdiction in granting the injunc-
ton, and told him so to his face in

so disastrously for the Chicago cor

ate yesterday Mr.. Aldrich expressed
the opinion that the end Of the gen
eral debate on the railway rate bill
would become apparent before the
end Of the present week, then an
agreement on a day to vote would be
reached. The statement was made in
response to a request by Mr.. Tillman
for such an agreement. There was
no other discussion Of the rate bill
during the day owing to the fact that
no senator was prepared to speak. It
was announced that Mr.. spooner
would reply to-day to Mr.. Bailey's
speech.
The session was almost entirely
devoted to the consideration Of the
conference report on the bill provid-
ing for the final settlement of the af-
fairs of the five civilized tribes of In
dams. No conclusion was reached.
After nearly ten days Of general de-
bate with the postoffice appropriation
bill as vehicle for the discussion OF
a wide range Of subjects, the house
late yesterday reached the consider
alton of the bill itself, but little prog.
ress was made.

In serious condition as a result of

coal miners last night. The place is in
a state Of terror, Sheriff Bagley has
been summoned and an appeal has
been made to Gov. Pennypacker for
troops. There are several others of
the rioters who have sustained slight
injuries. The dead men and most of
the injured are foreigners and their
names cannot be obtained. The
bodies are lying in the street where
they fell, the strikers refusing to allow
the undertakers to remove them.
Much Liquor Used.
The foreign element had been cele-
brating Easter Monday in the mining
section and much liquor had been
used. The streets were thronged all
day with a boisterous crowd, but no
sign of trouble appeared until last
night.
A body of strikers were assembled
In front of the Windber Jail discussing
the mass meeting that had been held
during the afternoon and which had
been addressed by three Catholic
priests. The discussion grew into
argument and soon there was a free

Officers Open Fire.
Deputies that had been sworn in
when the strike in the coal mines was
first inaugurated, made their appear
ance and number of arrests were
made. All of the arrested men were
union men, and their colleagues set up
q cry that they were being discrim-
mated against and were imposed upon.
The arrested men were marched to
the lookup door, but there mob had
formed and an attempt was made to
take, 1.-THE men from the officers. Forced
bacNfrom tic Jail door the mob, grow
ing more violend every minute, threat
ened the deputies until the officers
fired. The mob hesitated, apparently
not expecting the deputies would re-
sort to firearms.
Wild Cries of Anger.
When the smoke had cleared away
and the victims of the shots were
viewed by the crowd, there were cries
of anger and soon the. miners that
we're armed returned the shots of the
deputies. The firing ceased almost as
soon as it began, however, and the
crowd filed away from the Jail.
