WEXT TO JAIL.
CHICAGO, July 18.—Four of the principal officers of the American Railway union are in the county jail, where they will probably remain until next Monday. They were iu the United States circuit Tuesday charged with contempt in refusing to obey the injunction restraining interference with interstate commerce traffic, and elected to be locked up rather than give $8,000 bail for appearance. The prisoners are:
Eugene V. Debs, president of the American Itttllwny union. Uooruc W. Howard, vice president of the Americun Hallway union.
Sylvester Keliher. secretary of the American Railway union. 1. W. Hogers, director of the American Railway union.
Charged with Contempt.
lie fore they were committed there was a legal controversy in court. Information against them had been filed by United States District Attorney Milchrist charging them with violations of the orders of the court, and producing telegrams and copies of orders by Mr. Debs to show that he aud his associates had openly and repeatedly violated the injunction, and that they were, therefore, guilty of contempt and liable to punishment for their nets.
The bill of information first reviewed the character of the American Railway union, alleging that it was an organization formed in such manner that one of its objects was by united strikes to cripple and paralyze commerce by rail. After the issuance of the federal injunction, so runs the bill, the association continued the organization of branch assemblies for the purpose of accomplishing what had been forbidden by the United States court. Further, the union had issued orders to employes of the Illinois Central and those of other roads with the object of hindering trains engaged in interstate commerce and the transportation of United States mails.
The information in the document was confined almost entirely to a number of telegrams sent by Debs to his lieutenants, such as: "Tie up all roads that insist on handling boycotted cars." ''Get Rock Island out in all departments." "Potatoes and ice out of sight—managers weakening." "It will take more than injunctions to move trains," (sent the day after the injunction was issued.)
Judgo Seaman 011 tlie Bench. District Attorney Milchrist was accompanied in court by Edwin Walker, who made the original presentation to the court as to the facts alleged by the government, and the district attorney read the text of the information. Judge Seaman, of Milwaukee, presided,and E. S. Gregory and \V. W. Erwin represented the defendants, all of whom appeared in court in the afternoon aud listened to the arguments 011 the question of their commitment. The pre liminary skirmish between counsel reviewed the general situation aud brought out the attitude of the opposing forces.
Hearing Set for Mouduy.
Mr. Debs' attorne3's asked for a continuance of the hearing for ten days in order to allow them time to prepare a proper answer to the information and uossibly to test the question of jurisdiction. Mr. Gregory called attention to the fact that the defendants are already under bonds for appearance in court, and declared that it would be a hardship for them to give additional security for appearance.
Mr. Walker desired a prompt hearing of tlie case upon its merits, and suggested tlipt, as the presiding judge would probably want to get away from the bench as early as possible this hot weather, as did the attorneys, the case could be taken up on Thursday morning and be disposed of during the present week. Further opposition to this proposition being interposed by the counsel for the defense, Judge Seaman said he would set the hearing1 for Monday.
Declined to Furnish liall.
Upon the question of bail he added that the court was disposed to fix only a limited sum in view of the fact that the defendants are under bonds, and he said that he would make the bond S.1,000 in each case. There was hesitancy on the part of the attorneys and their clients, and it was apparent that the goverment ex pected a tender of bail which would be promptly accepted, but nothing of the kind was done, and, after a few minutes, the court called the next case on the docket, and the big four of the railway union took seats in the space alloted to spectators and conversed with their attorneys in undertones. District Attorney Milchrist said the quartette had determined to go to jail rather than give the bond asked by the court.
Attorneys who had been watchiug the proceedings and a number of spectators had by this time engaged in conversation, and the bailiff was compelled to take vigorous measures to enforce the ordinary decorum in the court. Mr. Debs and Mr. Rogers wero holding a whispered consultation when the clerk of the court addressed the president and asked him if he was prepared to give bail for himself and his companions. Mr. Debs' reply was that they had decided not to give bail but to go to jail and await the advice of attorneys as to future action. Their declination to furnish ball was based on the ground that they were already under bonds of 810,000 each to answer to an indictment charging them with conspiracy, and that their bondsmen in the other cases had been so bitterly attacked by the press that they felt a great deal of hesitancy in asking any more citizens to go additional bail for them.
Taken to Jail.
Going up to the group in company with two of his deputies Marshal Arnold greeted the prisoners and arranged to take them from the government building to the county jail. The marshal had a deputy procure carriages, and the Debs party were conveyed to the jail in a way not to attract public notice. The transfer of the labor leader* to the jail did not occasion any

CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, JULY
mcnt, although it was gentrnlly known in the business center of the city that they had been held for contempt and had decided to be locked up. At the jail there was the formality of a search of the prisoners, and then they were assigned to cells. Mr. Debs said he and his brother officers would remain in custody until Monday, and would not make any effort to secure release on habeas corpus.
Deb* Talk! of Hli Arrest.
The court directed that all necessary opportunity bo given for conference between the men and their attorneys, and the marshal was instructed not to deprive them of any of the privileges of ordinary prisoners. Mr. Debs was surrounded by his friends in the lawyers' cage in the county jail and said: "This means a few days of rest and quiet., which I have not had for over a month and which I need. Wo are not posing as martyrs, nor are we asking for sympathy. We will remain in Jail, while others outside will look after the strike. All I have to say about our arrest to-day is that matters have come to a point In this free country when it is held to be a crime to advise a man what to do when ho seeks your advice. We are guilty of no crime unless the simple expression of an opinion is a crime. We are not responsible for this strike, neither Is the American Railway union as a bodj responsible forlt. George M, Pullman, by his absolute refusal to In any way arbitrate or have anything to do with the committee appointed by his oppressed employes, brought all this trouble upon himself and othors. Down In Pullman were 4.800 persons living in slavery. They orled out for help: we Investigated their causo and found It Just and took it up. Pullman, by^iis obstinacy, did the rest."
Mr. Debs denied that the strike was over or that the strikers at Pullman or elsewhere were disposed to return to work. He said the people of Pullman would not agree to any terms without consulting the officers of the American Railway union. Then he said: "As for Grover Cleveland, his name will go down in the annals of history as infamous. There will be a quiet revolution in this country before long- it will be at the ballot box aud the people will then secure their rights."
How the News Was Received.
The news of the arrest of President Debs and his associates spread like wildfire among railroad men and trades unionists in general, it was the general impression among the railroad men that the officers of the union had taken the proper course, and it was also the expressed opinion that their incarceration would have the effect of strengthening the organization at points where there has been trouble.
The huge doors of the county jail had hardly closed behind the officers of the union when the telegraph instrument in the Revere house began to click off the intelligence of the arrests to the managers of the strike at all the leading points where the strike has been on, and by 6 o'clock there was not an important point in the country that did not know that President Debs is a United States prisoner and that he and the other officers ol the union are under lock and key..
A telegram was sent to General Master Workman Sovereign, of the Knights of Labor, informing him ol the arrests and asking him to come to Chicago at once. Other messages were sent .to Directors James Hogan and Roy Goodwin, who left the city Monday for the purpose of managing the strike at other points, calling them to Chicago at once. It was said ta have been the intention to tie up the Great Northern railroad at once, but action has been delayed 011 this matter for the time being. tlurns Stands Alone.
Director W. E. Burns is the ouly executive officer now in Chicago who is not in the hands of the law. On the subject of who would manage the strike during the enforced absence of those in whose hands it has been up to this time Burns was reticent, but he said it would go on just the same. It was his opinion that if there was anything in organized labor the locking up of the officers of the American Railway union would have the effect of bringing it out. lie thought the Chicago organization would take prompt action.
Still Hopeful.
President Debs was astir early Tuesday morning, and spent most of the morning sending telegrams of encouragement to hiij lieutenants all over the country. He told them to stand firm, and that the fight would surely result in victory for the American Railway union. Early in the day he said he had nothing of especial interest to communicate on the strike situation, excepting that the union is gaining friends and strength, lie thought there might be some interesting developments some time during the day, but aside from saying that they would oome from the west he would not discuss the subject.
Says the Strike Is Still On.
NEW YORK, July 18.—President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, says that Debs' assertion that the strike is still on is true and that there will doubtless be more men who will go out in support of Debs aud his strikers. They will be workmen, however, contiguous to the localities really affected and in trades some way connected with the railroads or that the railroads are dependent upon.
Murderer Hung by a Mob.
CINCINNATI, July 18.—A Commercial Gazette special from Burlington, Boone county, Ky., says: At 4 a. m. a mob of twenty masked men took Louis Laferdette from jail and lynched him by hanging. He tvas a tramp and had murdered William Wliitlock. a farmer.

REPUBLICAN MEMBERS CALLED IX.
The House Insists I'pon Sugar, Iron and Coal Being Placed on the Free l-l«t— Disagreement Likely to He
Reported Soon.
HOW MATTKRS STAND.
WASHINGTON, July 18.—The first formal conference 011 the tariff bill, with all the senate and house members, both democratic and republican, present, was held Tuesday and continued only about an hour. An adjournment was then taken until a o'clock to-day.
Meant No Discourtesy.
It had been expected that the republican couferrees would at the outset indulge in some criticism on having been kept out of the conference during the initial stages, but the republicans had little to say beyond formal greetings, aud waited until Senator Voorhees, as head of the democratic conferrees. made a somewhat formal and full statement of the situation, lie said that no discourtesy to the republicans had been intended. The meetings had not been conference meetings, but had been confined to an effort to bring about some settled policy among the democratic eonferrecs. Senator Voorhees added that he was frank to confess that the efforts toward agreement had not proved successful.
Features of Disagreement-
The features of disagreement were then gone into at considerable length by Senator Voorhees and his associates. They stated that the sugar, coal, metal, woolen and cotton schedule had been the chief bones of contention, but did not giv* particulars in any case except in that of sugar, with reference to which they stated that the house members had indicated a willingness to grant some duty 011 that article, but had objected to the differential duty ou refined sugar.
On the other articles which had beeu the source of disagreement Senator Voorhees and other democratic members of the conference contented themselves with saying that the democratic conferrees of the two houses had contended each sido for its own bill. This had been especially true 011 the metal and woolen schedules, the senate amendments to which had been strongly objected to by the democratic house conferrees.
Wanted Free Iroa and Coal.
They said that among other special articles in the metal schedule the house members had held out for free iron ore and for the house rates on lead ore containing silver, cutlery and steel rails. They had also demanded— so it was reported to the full conference—free coal. In the general discussion the republicans conferreeb gathered that sugar, iron ore, coal, the woolen schedule, cotton schedule and silver-bearing lead ores were the chief questions of disagreement.
Little Prospect of Agreement.
The question finally arose ns to what would"be ilon*: now that the full conference had assembled. It was suggested b.v Senator Aldrich that the bill should be taken up. item by item, and he considered by republicans and democrats. but the point was raised that this appeared to be hardly worth while in view of what the democrats had just disclosed, that there was no prospect of agreement on the main question.
There was 110 further proposition submitted and no programme outlined and the conference adjourned until 'i o'clock to-day, the democratic conferrees agreeing to meet prior to that hour to further consider the course to be pursued.
As a result of the meeting the republican conferrees concluded that a general disagreement would be reported to both houses within a few days. There was no distinct statement or proposition to this effect, but it appeared to be the only conclusion to be drawn from what had occurred.

HAZEI-TON, Pa., July 18.—Two hundred sticks of giant powder exploded in the midst ot a gang of miners at Stockton colliery No. 8, and not enough of the mens' bodies was left for identification. On account of the distance of the Stockton colliery from the main breaker it has been customary to send the dynamite and other explosives in boxes to No. 8 and distribute them to the workmen at the bottom of the seoond shaft as they appear in the morning on their way to work. It was Charles O'Donnell's duty to distribute the dynamite and caps. The first men to go down into the shaft today were the drivers, and these were the only ones to return alive from the opening. How many men or who they were who followed in the next boat will not be known until a list of the living is taken.
The drivers wgnt into the stables to harness their nftftes, aud it was while they were thus engaged that the explosion took place. Charles Shugert says ho saw about a dozen men standing about O'Donnell receiving their powder a moment before tlie explosion took place. The drivers wero hurled about promiscou.sly. The men were paralyzed with fright, and, fearing that an explosion of gas had taken place and that a collapse of the entire mine was about to follow, they waited for death as though paralyzed.
An Avrful Sight.
It was in this position that they were found by some miners from No. 2 who hastened through the subterranean passageways to No. S. As soon as lights wero seen the demoralized drivers hastened to the bottom of the shaft. There the terrible sight met their gaze. Strewn over the twisted aud torn timbers were fragments of human flesh and bones and limbs of the unfortunate miners. The men were too much affected to attempt to remove the remains of the deaa.
Rescuing parties were quickly formed, and, headed by Superintendent Roderick, a corps of miners descended Into the mine. The work of recovering the bodies was at once begun, but it was a difficult task. Fragments of human flesh were found some distance up the slope clinging to the rails and ties and sticking to the roof, while everywhere were bones and limbs. It is believed that at least a dozen men were blown to pieces.
The Victims.
The names of the victims as far as known are: Charles O'Donnell, aged 25. married Andrew Jabol, aged 98. married John Primbonc. aged 22. single John Koeh'eda. aged 23. single Anthony Morcarltz. aged 25, single John Krlnock, aged 28, married john Motefoski. aged 44, married John Hrtzzon. aged 25, single.
Brought to the Surface.
After surveying the work of destruction Foreman Shugart emerged from the pit and instituted preparations for bringing the remains of the victims to the surface. The dismembered fragments were put together as well as possible at the bottom of the slope. After all had been arranged the hoisting to the surface commenced. In order that the feelings of the relatives might be spared it was arranged to hoist each box to the top of the tower and from there take them to their several homes. As each box appeared on the surface an agonizing wail went up from the multitude in waiting. Women tore their hair and shrieks,of agony rent the air. The officials did everything possible to assuage their grief, but very little could be done.
FIRES IN THE FORESTS.

Threatened witb
Complete Destruction.
DI'LL'TH, Minn., July 18.—Forest fires again threaten the destruction ol thousands of dollars in piue and other property in northern Wisconsin and Minnesota. The long drought of the summer has produced its usual effect of forest and brush fires. In every direction dozens of villages are threatened. Duluth and Superior are enveloped in a cloud of smoke, and the fog whistle* at the harbor entrance are kept blowing.
All trains entering Duluth report fires all along the lines. Back of St. Louis, New Duluth and Fond du Lao the fires are unusually severe, and all these villages are threatened, thougl no destruction of life or property ii as yet reported. Along the soutli shore of the lake in Wisconsin the fires can be seen rolling up great clouds of smoke. The damage there will be to standing pine, as there are only a few scattered settlers. The suburbs of Superior also are threatened and serious trouble is expected there if rain does not fall soon. All along the Mesaba range, from the towns which were practically wiped out a little more than a year ago when conditions were much as they are now, fires are reported, and also along the line of the Duluth & Winnipeg. There are about fifteen villages in this district and a sudden change of the wind to an unfavorable direction would leave them practically helpless. The loss so fa£ reported is in damage done to the improvements of settlers and tp standing pine. This last will be heavy but cannot yet be estimated. From Carlton and the adjacent villages on the line of the Northern Pacific there are similar reports. The forest is burning all about them, but no great damage has been done. Hinckley on the line of the St. Paul A Duluth, which has been threatened for three days, is still in great danger.

HE OWNS UP?
Kd Hol!oivay Confesses to llntinc Caused the Wreck at 1-ouliinel, Ind.
TERKE HAUTE, Ind., July IS.—Kd Ilolloway has confessed that he threw the switch at Fontanct which wrecked the Big Four New York express train last Friday morning, causing tho death of the engineer and fireman. Ilolloway had gone to Fontanct. where five freight trains had been sidetracked by the miners, to serve as a 'scab' bralceman but deserted the company and joined the miners iu their acts of depredation. The next morning, within a few hours after the wreck ho turned up at Rockville, a dozen miles away, and criticised a report in a morning paper of the wreck that had occurred at 1:20 a. m. This aroused suspicion and he was arrested and brought here where a deputy sheriff recognized him as a man lie had threatened to shoot for pulling coupling pins at Fontanct. In his confession Ilolloway says eight or ten miners by threatening to hang him forced him to break tho switch lock and throw the switch.
They did not particularly caru whether they caught a freight or passenger train, but said they wanted to kill a few scabs. Ilolloway did not know the names of the miners, but has promised to Identify them if brought before him. He was taken to Indianapolis to take a look at McKillup and Rush, two men arrested OIL the general charge of obstructing interstate commerce. They were at Fontanet the night of the wreck, and Mclfillup has beeu Identified by a brakeman of the passenger train as a man he saw nearby immediately after the crash and who excitedly asked if freight train had been ditched. Several Fontanet men who are under suspicion have fled.
Ilolloway failed to identify McICillup. On the train returning to Torro Haute ugaiu confessed to throwing tho switch but later on denied emphatically that his previous statements wero true, declaring his innocence of tho whole affair.
