AN ANGRY MOB.

It Causes a Blot on the Illinois Drainage Canal Route.

QUARRYMEN ATTACRCANAL WORKERS

Sovcnil Mon Arc Hadly' Injured—A Negro, Willie Trying to Kseape the I'ury of Ills Assailants, Is Killed by a Train.

REIGN OF TERROR.

CHICAGO, Juno 3.—War broke out between quarrymen and laborers at Romeo and Lamont Friday. Turbulent scenes were enacted and many men seriously injured, several, it is feared, fatally. A few days ago the Illinois Stone company reduced Its quarry men's wages from $1.75 to •1.50 a day. Tliey believed that It was due to the Importation of laborers for work on the canal, and great indignation arose among- them. Four hundred quarrymen struck Friday, and armed with clubs and revolvers marched from one stone quarry to another graining additions to their ranks. When their force was sufficiently strong they left the quarries and rushed upon the nearest camp of contractors on the drainage canal line. Camp after camp was visited and in each the men were drivon from their work and where they resisted were assaulted by the strikers.

Antipathy for Colored Laborers.

The employment of colored laborers on the canal still more enraged the strikers, and In spite of all the conservative men could do the riotous element carried the counsel and war was declared.

One negro while fleeing from tlio mob of excited Poles and Swedes was killed by a Santa Fe train. Charles Burns, general drainage foreman, Is momentarily expected to die from wounds indicted by the strikers. Foreman Powderly is not expected to live and Foreman Larson had his arm broken by a striking negro connected with the quarry strike at Jollet.

The Mnl Outlier*.

After several stormy meetings Friday morning a mob gathered in the vicinity of Romeo, and after listening to one or two incendiary speoches the men started for camp 1 on the sanitary district. Here they called upon the men to quit work and completely cowed the laborers by their show of strength and arms. About 500 of the canal diggers obeyed the order and threw down their shovels and picks. To emphasize their demands the strikers assaulted a few of the laborers and gave them severe beatings. No one wae severely injured here.

Attach on Gilford's Camp.

A march was then made to Gilford's camp, where rumors of the trouble had preceded the rioters. The foreman had organized a resistance, and the strikers were met by a body of men hastily armed with such weapons as bars of i.on and plelt handles. The sight of nn armed force seemed to enrage live strikers. Without hesitation they made a charge. The defenders of the camp made but little resistance. A few clustered around the foreman, James Powderly, and with him mado a stand against the cliargo. The little band was overwhelmed by the numbers, and in a moment Powderly was stretched Insensible on the ground. Ilia men were steadily beaten back and finally, bruised and bleeding, were forced to take refuge in flight. Tlic rioters swept on, leaving Powderly apparently dead behind them, lie was subsequently found by Ills men and cared for at MoArthur Bros.' camp.

The next raid was on the camp of E. D. Smith & Co. Manager Jackson had heard of the approach of the mob and had gone to the headquarters of section 12 near Lemont to consult with his superiors. Tlio camp was left in charge of Foreman Larson. Smith's men were mainly colored and unarmed. The inob commanded Larson and his men to quit work. The foreman refused and a rush was made. One of the colored laborers drew a revolver and dared the rioters to advance, threatening to shoot the first man who Interfered with him. The mob made a rush, avoiding the man with tho revolver. Larsen was knocked down and his arm was broken with a club as he warded off a blow from his head. lie was knocked senseless and his men put to rout. Larsen was subsequently carried into camp, fearfully beateu.

Attack on Superintendent. Burns.

The mob heard that one of Agnew A Co.'s employes named Welch had threatened to have the ring-loaders arrested. This added to the fury of the strikers and they started to find Welch. lie had disappeared and the rioters attacked Superintendent Burns and pure him a terrible beating. He was left for dead, and was carried by frends to his home in Lamont, where ho was attended by Drs. Leahy and Fltzpatrlck. who had also attended Powderly. Friday night tho physicians said that Ilurns would recover, but there was little hope for Powderly.

Ground to Dentil Under Tniln.

Altogether the rioters visited seven camps on the drainage channel and drove off all the men. At the last camp. near Itomeo, the negroes refused for a time to Join the mob. Persuasive measures having failed a free for all fight followed. The negroes gave In shortly, but their leader was pursued for some distance. Finding himself In danger of rough handling from those behind him ho attempted to board a swiftly moving Santa Fe train. He fell under the cars and was ground to pieces.

Appculcd to the Sheriff for Aid*

The most alarming reports reached Loekport and Lemont during tht- afternoon. and Chief of Police Hannibal Lnnghlin, of the latter place, telegraphed to tho sheriff's office for aid. Five men were sent down on the evening train and remainded over night to render aid in the event of further trouble.

Tlie strikers returned to Lemon'

about dusk. They took possession of the station and lined tho railroad tracks on either side, carefully scrutinizing everyone who alighted from tho train. Tho people of Lemont are terrorized and developments this morning are anticipated with fear. People fear that the strikers, encouraged bj' their actions of Friday, will attempt to repeat them to-day. in this event It is said the contractors will bo prepared for them and bloodshed will surely result.

MORE STRINGENT.

Finance, Manufacturing and General Trade Show Discouraging Conditions.

NEW Yor.K, June 3.—The weekly review of trade says: "More disheartening conditions have prevailed during the l*st week, and those who saw the beginning of permanent recovery in tho better tono a week ago are disappointed. Tho money markets have been closer, especially In tho Interior, and manufacturing and trade are more restricted than before. Gold has gone out again in large amounts, exports for the week being about ffi,000,000, and the treasury gold reserve has been drawn down to about 100,000,000. In nearly all departments of trade uncertainty about the future has a depressing influence, which 1b now clearly perceived In decrease of new business, and while most manufacturing works are yet employod on full orders as these run out tho number of works closed Increased. "General trade has already been cut Into, notioeably in eastern and middle states, to a marked extent In central, northwestern and western states, but to a more moderate extent south. Interviews with several hundred prominent Jobbers, manufacturers and bankers at leading money center Indicate a likelihood of continued stringency and that general trade may bo restricted still further. Opinions ollered arc not altogether gloomy with respect to the outlook, but tho banks are calling loans in many directions and in other ways strengthening reserves, and generally refusing to extend or grant discounts to other than regular customers. Efforts are making to protect certain lines of trade, notably grain. Money lenders aro offcctod by the urevalent lens* of uncertainty in tho financial world and do not regard the outlook as encouraging. An influence may be exerted as well by tho wages contests In Iron and steel Industries at the west during tho summer. The tendency of prices coutinues downward and includes wool, finished iron, hides, sugar, hogs, wheat, corn ond oats, lard and cotton, nominal advances being reported in tobacco and coaL At Chicago wheat is quoted an eighth below the lowest price for thirty years. Spcoulatlve markets have been sinking. Stocks are nearly HI per share lower than a weok ago. Wheotlms declined 1& cents, corn 2% cents and oats lHoonts, with moderato transactions, few oaring to buy wheat with enormous stocks In sight. Lard and hogs aro lower and cotion has declined a sixteenth, with moderate sales, though receipts are small. "Exports of products still fall below last yoar's In value, and tliero Is much withdrawal of money loaned in this country on foreign account. The fact that 56,000.000 of suoh loans mature within tho next week leads to the expectation of further exports of gold. "Failures during the last woolt have been 238 In the United States, against 275 last year, and 21 in Canada, against 32 last year but two of the United States failures wore for more than 11,000,000 each, four others were of llrtns rated at over S200,000 each, and forty more of firms ratodatover 15,000 oacli. Last week tho total number of failures was 27.1."

THREE LIVES TAKEN.

A Drunken Negro In Delaware Kills His Wife, His Father and a Deputy Sheriff.

LA TRET., Del., June 3.— John Dennis, heretofore a hard-working negro, returned home drunk and was upbraided by his father. John picked up his gun and said he would leave the house for good.

Deputy Sheriff Ilearn, with a posse, started in pursuit and Dennis was overtaken in the woods. He agreed to surrender, but as he approached tho posse he raised his gun and fired, killing the sheriff instantly. The members of the posse were so terrorized that they allowed the negro to escape, but afterward captured him.

Capt, Camming was asleep at the time of the collision. Ilis mate stateB that the Corsica was bound down Lako Huron with a cargo of iron ore and had run all night through the fog. He claims that the Corsica did not run into the schooner, but that the schooner ran Into the steamer. The moment they struck he states that tho engines wero reversed, and that tho schooner disappeared from view in a second. Ilcr disappearance was so sudden that not even her name, color or size could be made out by those on board the steamer. He is certain that the schooner's crew were all lost. On the steamer more attention was paid to her condition than to the fate of those on the schooner, for it was feared at first that she was going down.

Slight Clew Found.

That the unknown schooner was lost is made certain by the fish tug Angler, which lias just arrived here. She reports having passed the cabin of the schooner and a large amount of wreckage off Thunder bay. There was no name on any article seen. The cabin was about 18 feet long and was about one-third out through, which clearly indicates that the steamer ran into the schooner. In a coat which was picked up among the wreckage was a letter signed bjr Joe Davy, 213 Cherry street, Green Bay, Wis., March 30, 1893. There was no envelope on tho letter nor any other way of telling to whom it was addressed.
