The State Normal Unlrerlty Injunction Xo Danger of the School Closing. Special to the Imlnuiapolls Journal. I3loomingtox, Aug. 2. The injunction against the State Board of Education, granted yesterday by Judge N. J. Pillsbury, restraining that body from expending tho appropriations mado by tho recent Legislature for the maintenance of tho State Normal School, at Normal, was obtained not npon .the petition of E. W. IJakewell, the claimant himself, who wants tho State to deed back to his wife tho forty acres which she deeded to tho institute, but upon the petition of George Freeman, a tax-payer, for the benctit of Bakewell. The injunction will have no effect immediately, at least, upon the Normal School for the reason that a draft had already been made unon tho State Auditor. and honored, by which the board have already obtained money sufficient to run the school through the fall term. Tho injunction does not restrain the board from expending that which they already have, merely restraining them from drawing upon the Auditor. Even should the injunction be declared permanent, tho Normal School would not cease, though it would be greatly crippled, for the act creating it sets aside xor its use one-half of the college and seminary fund, in itself a good round sum. No fear whatever is expressed by the friends of tlie Normal School that the injunction will not be dissolved in September. The motive of claimant Bakewell in obtaining this injunction does not rellect credit npon him, for the reason that even if he should succeed in crippling the institution no benefit would accrue to nim.

Tho Inter Ocean, one of the leading organs of the G. A. K. interest, will to-morrow say in its columns: "It is plainly to bo seen that the department commanders have exceeded their power, and have assumed duties belonging to the commander-in-chief. From 1801 to l&io the Grand Army fought to sustain the principle of . national supremacy as against Stato rights. Now twenty-odd years after that memorable struggle, in which this self-same Grand Army won untold victories, a few of its leaders become the advocates of State rights, and in a manner contrary to tho rules and regulations, and against all precedents established by former department commanders, assume tho control of the order. It is following too closely in the footsteps of tho Confederacy to suit the entire membership of the G. A. 11. It is said that 'charity covers a multitude of sins.' Possibly it doe3, and it may bo that posts who have bo generously indorsed the eight department commanders, did so to cover their recent sinning against the Grand Army. Their attempt to use the Grand Army as a boycotting machine is to bo deplored. As a fraternal and charitable organization the Grand Army leads all others. That its members have rights as regards railway fares equal to members of other and similar organizations, no one will deny. The ways and. means taken to secure the rights, many of us believe, wero hasty, ill-timed and uncalled for. Tho comrades and citizens of Milwaukee have invited us to visit them. The National Encampment accepted that invitation. Until that in vitation is annulled by the commander-in-chief, it is, we believe, the duty of every comrade, without regard or reference to the eight department commanders, to aid in every way possible in making tho twentythird National Encampment the greatest and grandest reunion of veterans ever held by the Grand Army." How They Will Go to the Encampment. Chicago, Aug. 2. Assistant Adjutantgeneral Gatchel and Colonel Cook, chief of staff, have been in consultation for the past two days in Chicago with Gen. J. B. Davis, commander of the Department of Nebraska, G. A. R., and on their return to Nebraska they will issue (Jeneral Order No. 7, designating tho Chicago, Milwaukee it St. Paul and Union Pacific railways as the selection of the commander for the headquarters train of his department to the National Encampment at Milwaukee. Senior Vico-denartmeut Comman der S. H. Morrison was also in the city and left for Milwaukee this evening, accompan ied by General Gatchell and Col. Cook, to complete arrangements for tho care and ac commodation ot the Nebraska veterans. It is believed that the State will be largely represented and that many of tho posts will attend in a body.

Career of a Swindling Lawyer. Boston, Aug. 2. The Herald to-morrow will devote nearly four columns to an ac count of the career in Boston of th man known m New lork as A. Bentiey orlhington.

LABOR TROUBLES.

Tho leaders of the strike, last night, were free in giving out the impression that this morning would witness the suspension of work at Trotter, May field, Donnelly, Cora, Bessemer, Pennsvillo and Southwest No. 1, for certain, and possibly at even many more works. Tho day has passed, and the list of idle works has been increased by tho addition of only three works. As wa9 expected, tho meeting at Trotter, last night, had the effect of changing the decision of the men. They joined the strikers forces this morning. At the meeting held there, last night, to tako final action, a vote was taken, and resulted 150 in favor of coming out, against 83 in favor of remaining at work. On the strength of this the men refused to go to work this morning. An official of tho H. C. Frick Coke Company, at the David son works, asked the strikers at these work8tomcet him at a store. Tho men first held a meeting themselves, at which tney decided not to accept the invitation, fearing that they would be asked to draw the ovens or wfhld be told that they could consider themstlves discharged. Meetings were held in tho northern end of tho region to-night, the purpose being to bring the men at the works m that section, particularly tho employes of theMcClureCoko Companv, into line.

Cannot Pay More for Mtnlns. LaSalle, 111., Aug. 2. Dr. E. H. Wines, of the Governor's committee, now investigating tho coal mining troubles, in an interview here to-day said that the coal operators in this region had expressed their determination not to submit the matter of their difficulties with their miners to 'arbitration or to in any way follow the lead of II. Plumb, of tho Coal Run Company of Streator. The operators and miners are no nearer an adjustment of difficulties than when the mines closed down May 1. The northern Illinois operators claim that they must sell coal at least 15 cents per ton below last year's figures or retire from the business. This is owing to competition from southern Illinois" and also from the Pennsylvania regions, from whence coal is shipped into Chicago and the Northwest by way of the lakes at very low rates. Mr. Wines has very littlo hono of a sneedv settlement of the case. ' and gives it as his opinion that both the miners and operators are, in a great measure, justified in their positions. At tho prices ottered the latter they can only do business at a loss, and at the prices offered the former they cannot earn a living. Twin children belonging to the wife of one of the locked-out miners, ac Spring Valley, died this morning, and the physicians who attended them pronounced it a clear case of starvation. The mother had but little food in the house, and was nnable to provide sufficient nourishment for them. Strikers Beaten In Court.
