HAMMOND, lnd., July 9.—A serious fight occurred here at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon between a mob of 5,000 men and Company B, Fifteenth United States infantry, in which two of the mob are known to have been killed and several others, including one woman, are said to have been fatally wounded. The mob became so violent shortly after noon that a battalion of the First Illinois militia was sent down from Pullman. It drove the rioters over the state lin6, which runs west of Hammond, but were not able to do more, as they conld not move into the state of Indiana.

Itegulars Fire on tlie Mob.

Word was sent to Chicago for a company of regulars who could operate irrespective or the state line. Captain Hart with Company B, Fifteenth infantry, was dispatched to the scene. The regulars wore patroling the tracks when they were attacked by the mob with stones, some shots being fired. The troops at once returned the fire through the car windows, killing Charles Fleishman and wounding W. H. Campbell. Several other men and one woman were wounded, bnt their names are not known. Three additional companies of regulars were sent from Chicago on a special train, arriving at 4 o'clock. The mob has driven out all the telegraph operators in town and has cut the telephone wires, makiner it very difficult to obtain information from the place.

May Send His Troops Into Indiana.

Yesterday afternoon Governor Matthews sent a dispatch to Governor Altgeld authorizing him to send Illinois Btate troops into the state of Indiana at Hammond when necessary. Governor Altgeld said that as Hammond is practically a part of Chicago he may use tho Illinois state troops in accordance with Governor Matthews' permission, whenever necessary for the purpose of suppressing lawlessness.

A special train left here late last night for Chicago bearing a detail of United States infantry under command of Major Hartz, having in custody four of the ringleaders in yesterday afternoon's disorders there. Major Hartz was seen on his arrival in Chicago by an Associated Press representative and spoke very tersely of the trouble, observing very significantly in conclusion: "Things have quieted down somewhat at Hammond since the trouble in the afternoon."

Troops Ordered to Fire.

At a late hour last night all was quiet, although several groups of rioters made threatening demonstrations at different points about the city during the evening. The officer commanding the United States forces made public last night the following telegram .received by him from General Miles: "General Schofield wires that Governor Matthews of Indiana has asked the president that three companies of United States troops be sent to Hammond to disperse the mob of rioters. This makes your duty and that of the troops plain. You are directed to fire on any mob or any men obstructing line of road, and hold the

S[cLean

laco until further orders." Engineer and Fireman Cooper of the Michigan Central, who were dragged from their engine and brutally beaten by the mob, are in a serious condition and not expected to recover. H. B. Miles, superintendent of the interlocking system, who was badly injured in the morning's row, will recover.

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION..'

Unknown Miscreant I'lace* a Stick of Uynamito In tlie Tender of an Engine. PUEBLO, Colo., July 9.—The most das

tardly piece of work in Colorado since the beginning of the strike was done last night. A freight train left hero .shortly after 7 o'clock nnd when but a short distance out a terrible explosion occurred and the locomotive was lifted from the track and the train partially wrecked.

Investigation showed that some miscreant had placed a stick of dynamite with fulminating cap attached among the coal in the tender. When the fireman shoveled it into the firebox an explosion followed immediately. The engineer and fireman were badly shaken up, but escaped serious injuries.

Wreck Attempted.

NASHVILLE, July 9.—An attempt was mftde to wreck the incoming passenger train from Louisville, which was due here at 9 o'clock last night, 15 miles from this city. A switch had been tampered with and turned wrong and the signal changed so as to indicate a clear track. The train ran into the switch, bnt fortunately kept the track and no harm was done.

No Change at Frankfort.

FRANKFORT, lnd., July 9.—There is no change in the Cloverleaf strike situation in Frankfort. The shops are tied up as well as the train service.

An Attack Anticipated.

SPRINGFIELD, His., July 9.—Sheriff Cox of Bnreau county wired last night that his 80 deputies had gone to Seatonville to protect that place from attack and asked that troops be sent to Spring Valley. The sheriff of LaSalle county wired for help, as an attack was anticipated. The mayor of Peru also asked for help, saying that business men and citizeus were organizing to protect Pern. The governor ordered two companies of the Sixth infantry to proceed at oncG to Spring Valley.

UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT.

Would-He l*ullmaii Wreckers In New York Foiled. CANAJOIIARIE, N. Y., July 9.—An un

successful attempt was made last night to wreck the fast national express train on the West Shore road between this place and Fort Plain. This train usually has several Pullman sleepers attached. In Nellis cut a piece of bridge timber 9 feet long and seven inches square had been placed upon the rails and securely tied to the track by a long rope. Fortunately when the engine struck the timber the log was torn into splinters, probably by the pilot, and the rope snapped in a dozen places. The engine was not injured and the train continued on its journey.

Quiet In California*

SAN FRANCISCO,

CLEVELAND, July 9.—There has been absolutely no change in the strike situation here. Trains have run today and there has been no attempt on the part of strikers to interfere.

Between 200 and 3 )0 Big Four employes, excepting engineers, met last night and decided to strike, remaining out until their local grievance, chief of which is a 10 per cent cut in wages, are adjusted. The freight conductors on all roads have also decided to join the strike.

Feel the KfTects of a Previous Strike* WILKESRARRE,

EAST CHICAGO, lnd., July 9. Unknown miscreants set firo to and undermined one of the piers of the railroad bridge over the drainage canal just south of the city. The bridge is nowimpassable and no Wabash or Fort Wayne trains can pass until repairs are made.

Expelled From the Union.

Siocx CITY, July 9.—Sioux City Typographical union yesterday expelled two of its members who were militiamen, and who turned out when the sheriff ordered out the company here. The strike situation is unchanged.

THE CRAWFORDSVILLE JOURNAL.

Foreign Comment on the Strike. LONDON, July 9. The Times this

this morning, commenting editorially upon the great railroad strike in America, says: The federal injunction ordering the strike leaders to cease seems an almost needless formality. We can only hope that it is intended as a prelude to the suppression of the rioting by military force. In the present state of affairs it is idle to talk of a milder remedy.

The Standard says: The disorder has attained alarming dimensions because it was not nipped in the bnd. The constitutional pedantries of the government of Illinois are disgusting and surprising.

Mill HE 11 KILLED.

Scheme of the Russian Government.

Tho Russian government contemplates buying np tho railways in the southwest of Russia, amounting altogether to about 8,000 miles. Tho question of constructing a railway to tho Polar and White seas is to bo considered by a special commission. Tho scheino of constructing a lino across Finland from Uleaborg to Moorman coast, on tho Arctic ocean, sooms to havo been abandoned. It is proposed, however, to construct a railway connecting St. Po tersburg with Kcmi, on tho extreme north of tho gulf of Bothnia, via Ladoinoe Poljo and Petrozavodsk, a distanco of some C00 miles. This might bo afterward extended to one of tho open harbors on tho Moorman coast, which would furnish Russian warships with a naval station. Another scheme is for a lino from St. Petersburg to Vologda to place the capital in moro direct connection with the Transsiboria railway and to develop the resources of tho northern governments.— St. Petersburg Correspondence.

Governor of Idaho Makes a Strong Appeal 1'or Soldiers to Quell Rioting. Strong Force of Keserves For Chicago.

Outlook In Congress For the Week -Estate of the Kate Senator Perkins.

WASHINGTON, July 9.—The president and his cabinet are watching the developments of tho strike with unabated vigilance, and soon after breakfast yesterday, when in ordinary times the president probably would be taking a pleasant drive in the country, ho was surrounded by his constitutional advisers, reading bulletins from the west and discussing the probabilities of the future. Before noon there had called at tho white house Secretaries Gresham and Carlisle, Postmaster General Bissell, Major General Schotield, Adjutant Gen-

(il-'.NKItAL MILES.

eral Ruggles and Secretary Lamont. During the morning Senators Dubois and Shoup of Idaho called at the white house to urge federal protection for Wallace, Ida., where rioting is reported.

The governor of Idaho made a strong appeal for troops to quell the rioting. The senators were admitted to the cabinetroom and the whole matter WILS discussed. The situation in Idaho presents a different phase from the troubles elsewhere inasmuch as the trouble is not connected with the railroad strike, and tho governor has called for federal troops.

Must Fxhaust Ills Kesources*

It was pointed out to the senators that the governor must certify that he has exhausted all of the resources in liis power before the president can respond. The senators telegraphed the fact to tho governor with suggestions how to proceed, and if he follows them by a formal statement in due form, United States troops from Fort Sherman will le speedily dispatched to Wallace to quell the rioters.

The only official rejiort that came to the white house was a telegram from General Miles, saying that Saturday night had passed quietly in Chicago and that he expected no serious trouble. Of course this was encouraging to the administration and it confirmed General Miles' forecast, when he was in communication with Secretarv Lamont by long distance telephone. Much gratification is felt here at the issue by Archbishop Feehan of his circular to all Catholics, enjoining them to impress on their congregations the patriotic duty of jielding respect and obedience to the lawful authorities.

Strong Force of Reserve*.

It is explained by the war department officials that the reinforcements from northern New York and Omaha were sent at the suggestion of General Miles, not because he doubted the sufficiency of his present force to deal with his share of the responsibility at Chicago, but as a measure of precaution to cover emergencies at other |»oints in the department of the Missouri. The general believes it is good military practice to maintain a strong force of reserves at some central point where they can be quickly forwarded to support the detachments at threatened points. Fort Sheridan is admirably situated for this purpose, and while no further reinforcements have been ordered there everything is in readiness to hurry many more troops to the fort from General Brooks' command at Omaha, when: there does not appear to be any present necessity for their services.

Nothing has been seen at the white house of the message said to have been addressed to the president last night by Messrs. Debs and Sovereign. The published report in the newspapers, of course, has been notod, but until the formal communication comes to hand the president will not take cognizance of the letter.

Estate of the Late Senator Perkins. WASHINGTON,

July 9.—The widow of

tho late ex-Senator Perkins of Kansas has been granted letters on the estate. Mr. Perkins did not leave as much as has been stated. The bond required of the executrix was only $35,000, which is about the value of the tangible property left. The ex-senatoi had considerable in view as contingent fees, and had he lived a few years longer he would probably havo been worth many times what he left. What little he had was made since his retirement from congress. Mr. Perkins suffered the imputation of having heaped up money while in office, llis sudden death exposes the utter falbity of it.

Congress*

WASHINGTON, July 9.—Thosenate held no session Saturday. Tho house appointed conferrees on the tariff bill.

Sensation In Colored Society. WASHINGTON, July 9.—Charles H. G.

Taylor, the new recorder of deeds, has caused a great sensation in colored society in Washington. The extensive patronage of the recorder's office has been looked upon as the property of the more aristocratic colored peoplo. This has come about through the long possession of the office by successive colored recorders. Taylor says he has found many colored persons in positions in the office whose parents are well-to-do. In his selections he says he prefers to open the chances of the office to clerks, copyists and others who have abundant capacity to fill the positions, and who have need of the places to earn a livelihood.

It is the sacking of the buildings of coal companies, tho destruction of tho machinery and the burning of the mines. The work, the miners a-ssert, will be accomplished before tomorrow.
