A N'Mmhrr Hurt,

IN ll AN A l'ol.is, Incl, I'd). 211. The crisis of the street car slriUe, came .Saturday anil for nearly live lmurk the principal thoroughfares of the eity were in possession of a liowiin^. lioutiiij,' moli, and scciics of disorder were enacted that have never had a parallel in this city. The police \\ere attacked with stones and clubs, the. drivers and road ollieors of the company were dragged from the ears and beaten, the cars were overturned upon the streets and several men were carried wounded and bleeding from the scene. 'lli«

Strikers Kncmimj «Ml.

In one. sense it was a drawn battle, with neither side the victor, but as the whoie power of the police was exerted to run the ears, and this power was insullicient, the strikers have scruivd a place in the fight which encourages them to continue it and bluo.l will doubtless How 1 efore the company can hope to have peaceable possession of the streets. Tiie mayor is no less determined than the strikers, anil when the li{,rht is ruii '«t-:. to vniy the police will be augmented by hundreds of special otlieers who have been sworn in. of thi* TroulIi».

The strike, has now been in existence since Sunday last, when the entire street, railway system was tied up through a disagreement between the men anil President I'renzel, of the company, over the meaning of tin-. verdict reached two weeks ai^o by a board of arbitration. On Monday and each succeeding day this week the company made a feeble eltort to run its cars, but the mayor de elined to order the police to protect the company, and the strikers easily prevented the runuin^ of cars. In the meantime the business men of the city began to complain, and all property owners saw in the mayor's action a menace to their property arid business and loud complaints were heard from many of that class. Others, however, sympathized with the strikers and ensouraged them to persevere in' their battle course.

Itlottng

Friday night the mayor decided to give the protection that he had so long refused, and secret orders were given the police to bo present at the company's stables at 7:30 o'clock Saturday morning. The force of ninety men, including the night police, were distributed at the several stables and simultaneous attempts were made to start the mule cars from the barns. The plan had been kept so secret that but few of the strikers were in the New Jersey street barn when the police arrived, and eight cars were quickly brought out, each occupied bv a liaif dozen policemeu, and started down town. Feeble opposition was made along the line, but this was easily overcome and the cars proceeded towards the Louisiana street barn.

Ily this time a thousand men and boys had gathered upon the street and telephone messages had called the strikers to the scene. These advanced to meet the cars and a hand to hand struggle with the police began. The officers drew thoir clubs and struck right and left, but the mob paid no attention to this, tiig policemen were literally picked up and hurled to one side, while the mob closed in around the cars. Capt. Dawson rallied his men time nnd again, but the policemen soon found themselves so jammed in by the surging mass that they were powerless to do anything.

Cars Cpsi'l.

"Off the track with the cars!" yelled some one. nnd with a wild yell the crowd gathered around one car and lifted it across the truck east and west The car was pushed into the gutter and held (irmly there by the mob. The second car was lifted off the track and pushed out on the asphalt, just north of Georgia street, and was left incased in a solid wall of mini 'The third car was then thrown from the track and overturned. The crowd rapidly increased in numbers and drays and all kinds of vehicles were caught in the vortex and held as if in a vise.

Kln lm!'r» Arr«st«'d.

The police, finding that they could not protect the ears, turned their attention to the ringleaders of the mob and soon had a dozen or more under uriest. These were taken to the sta-tion-house but'were soon bailed out by respectable citizens and in a half hour were back in the crowd ready to lead another attack.

The crowd made a rush for a man ''who was attempting to drive a ear. "•'Hang the scab!" "Over with the car!" and similar expressions filled the air. The drivef's name was Madison, iind in an instant lie was pulled over the dashboard, while several men belabored him ovortbe head. The police charged and again the rocks began to Ily.

ril:«ii street us 81 uil 01 were goinjj smith. The police won* mussed around the ears and in greater foree than on any previous occasion, but the mob was not. in the least daunted, and rushed to the attack as if eajror for the fray.

At a signal from the leaders «f the mob a hundred men surrounded the first car and hurled it from the track. The. mules w»»re unhitched and turned loose and the attack turned upon the second car, which w&s also ditched. This maile ei^ht cars that wore off the tracks, and it was useless to attempt to brintf out any more. Indeed, the crowd was increasing every moment, and messages were, beinjf sent to all the factories asking? the employes to come out. As it was Saturday and. many of the mechanics of the city do not work Saturday afternoon, the mayor realized that greater trouble would be experienced this afternoon if the attempt were continued, and he wisely determined to desist. '1 he police were notified to attempt to ffet the cars to the barns, and when the crowd was assured that the only purpose in moving1 them was to put them in the barns no one inter fered. The cars were therefore placed on the track and slowly taken to the barns, where they were put away* for the day.

Kiyhlj'-Throe Arrested.

There were eighty-three arrests during the day, and of these sixty prisoners have been bailed out. The majority of those arrested were outsiders, who had no interest whatever in the strike, but wore as aetivfc as the strikers themseivos. Mayor SulliVan announces that he will give ample protection to-day, and that the cars will run if there is power enough iu the city to hold the strikers in check.

The mayor has issued a proclamation directing the closing of saloons during the continuance jof the public disturbance and warning people not to assemble in la rife crowds but to remain quietly at their homes or nlaees of business. A call is made for ii)U volunteers to serve as special police,

Palmer, who is at home from Washington on a vacation, addressed a gathering of his fellow-citizens here Saturday and at some length delined his attitude regarJing the presidency and expressed his views as to the proper course to bo pursued by the cfemocracy of Illinois to insure victory iu the coming campaign. The occasion was a meeting of the democratic county committee. ami it called out a large number of the best-known democrats in Sangamon county, (.'ten. Palmer was invited to address the gathering. During his remarks he said he was not seeking a nomination for the presidency. What lie desired above nil else was to make 1 lliiiois a democratic state. Illinois ought to go to the national democratic convention knowing what she wants, and having the courage to ask for it. In choosing a candidate, the Illinois democracy should select one who will best serve its purpose.

"The last outrage of the kind embodied in the decision of the judge at Deadwood, S. 1).. assumes an official character which makes it impossible to remain longer silent. To remain silent would be to accept and perpetrate a great wrong to my wife, a greater wrong to my grandson thou even a publication of the truth can inflict upon him I It is necessary in speaking that I should give a summary, as brief as possible, of the marriage and the incidents which followed it and led to the separation.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER

Strongest, Purest, Most Economical.

Certain baking powder makers are publishing falsified extracts

Government reports, with pretended analyses and certificates, wherein an

attempt is made to compare their baking powders with the

making bogus tests from house to house, their obvious purpose being to

counteract the recent exposures of the inferiority of their own goods arising

from their impurity, low strength, and lack of keeping qualities as shown

As to whether any of these baking powders are

equal to the "Royal," the official tests clearlv deter

mine. .- When samples of various baking powders were

purchased from the grocers, and analyzed by the United

States Government Chemists and the Chemists of State

and City Boards of Health, the reports revealed the faci

that the "Royal" contained from 28 per cent, to 60 pei

cent, more leavening strength than any other cream of

tartar baking powder, and also that it was more perfectly

made, of purer ingredients, and altogether wholesome.

As these powders are sold to consumers at the same pricc, In the use

of the Royal Baking ^Powder there is an average saving of over one third,

besides the advantage of assured purity and wholesomeness of food, and of

bread, biscuit, and cake made perfectly light, sweet, and palatable—advan

Home Kjected.

Iu this connection Mr. Hlaine proposed that his son and his wife should occupy his Augusta home, and agreed to pay for fuel, light and servants. I horse and carriage, and to give them an allowance of a year. Mrs.

Hlaine, Jr.. rejected this. Referring to young Mrs. Maine's departure for New York during her husband's absence with hi* father at Kllsworth, Mr. Hlaine saj's: "Mrs. Hlaine had strongly disapproved of her departure and had earnestly urgea her to-re-main. She did not then dream that our son would not follow his wife or that the imminent Una! separation would come so soon Hut she deprecated the angry, and to »ay the least. sudden departure, and the journey to New Yorh alone with the infant and nurse. Site did not, however, suspect that the young woman left with any less friendly feeling toward herself than towards every other member of the family except my son James. ••Finding the young woman determined to go. and foreseeing the difficulties in their ms- path sinec my daughter-in-law utterly de»P-

dined tin* provisiou 1 made for their pon. Mrs. Blaine repeatedly bade her remember that -tie would at any moment receive the ehild for any length of time for one year, nr three years, or ten years, or for life: that slw should receive, as all who know my wife will believe, the very best care and attention that she would put his mother' under no conditions whatever, and that whenever she wished the child to be reI turned tti her he should be sent. The offer

WHS not accepted, but it wan not declined. It appeared to be received in the same friendly spirit in which it wax given. Thus my daughter in-law left my home, the only home winch uiv son could provide for her. ..

The Women Quarrel.

-Must forty-four days after this willfvd departure she returned to my house accompanied by her mother. Mrs. Nevins, my grandson and his nurse. At the moment of their arrival there were in Ihe house only Mrs. Hlaine. who was ill. and the servants. Mrs. Hlaine at once arose, dressed and went downsiairn. having previously instructed her maid to do everything required for their emufort. This was the only time -she ever rru Mrs. Nevins. Neither Indy advanced to gre her. No hand was extended to her. but from Mrs. Nevins. seconded by her daughter. came charges against her son and herself, so insulting and so violent that a servant was called In for the frankly expressed purpose of acting H*a restraint upon the elder visitor.
