Chicago Beef Magnates Kefase to Obey the Sum mons and the Senate Committee Adjourns. CmcAGO, SeptI . 4. The senatorial In vestigation ino the dressed-beef and transportation industries arrived at a position this morning when it became necessary to resort to vigorous measures. G. F. Swift, the millionaire dressed-beef-dealer, had been .subpoenaed for the third time, but he did not come. The messenger who served the summons was called, and said both Swift and Armour had promised to come. It began to look serious, and tho three Senators leaned over the table in whispered consultation. Just then Secretary George T. Williams, of the Union Stockyards.and Transit Company, entered the room. He had been ordered to produce a list of the stockholders in his company.' He was placed on the stand, but declined to give the list He was dismissed. Presi dent John B. Sherman, of the Stockvards Company, was the next witness. Among otner questions ne was asked: "V hat do yon charge shippers for hay! 7 "WecharToftl for prairie bar and 81.50 for tame hay. Wo also cet 25 cents for yardage." Can a shipper buy hay outside!" "No, that is the only way we have to gain a revenue." Mr. Sherman said that there had been 20,000 head of cattle in the yards at one time. The charge for yardage included considerable service as the stock-yards company furnished the tracks connecting with the railroads. He was the last witness of the morning. At the afternoon meeting Chairman Vest m discussing tho absence of Mr. Armour and other gentlemen, said he was sorry that a number of persons, including the heads of several of the prominent dressed-beef firms, had refused to attend the sessions of the committee and had paid no attention to its subpepnas. Mr. cst said there was no doubt about the power of the commission to compel tho attendance of persons summoned before it as witnesses, and read several statutory clausesproviding for tho punishment by line and imprisonment of parties willfully failing to appear before committees of either honse of Congress. Mr. Vest, continuing, said that although they could compel attendance, they could not compel unwilling witnesses to testify to all they knew, and no feared if they had those parties brought in before them now they would find themselves in the same medicament thev were in at the tarf- All they could do, therefore, was to report tno tacts to the Senate, with a view to having the matter placed in the hands of the district attorney of the District of Columbia and brought by him before the. federal grand jury. I have here a telegram," continued Senator Vest, "about which I had desired to personally ask Mr. Armour, had he appeared here. I intended, in justice, to do so before making it public: but inasmuch as he has refused to appear here, I will now make him publicly aware of its contents. It was sent to me by a gentleman . about whose respectability there can be no question:" 1 Freelaxd, Ta., Dec. 19, 18S3. Can't allow Schwab to 'continue killing live stock. If he will not "stop, make other arrangements, and make tho price so we can pet his trade. Armour fc Co. Tho following was unanimously passed, after which the committee adjourned: Whereas, Tallin Armour, Nelson Morris, Louis F. Swift. Frank 12. Vogel, J. 8. Newman and Jacob Meve-, having been duly and lawfully summoned to appear as witnesses before this committee, bnvo repeatedly refused to obey the same, it is ordered that tha facts be reported to ,the chairman of the Senate of the United States, at its next session, in pursuance of Chapter 7 ol the Keviaed Statutes of the United States. Later in the day Armour made a statement for publication, to the eftect that tho dresscd-beef men did not appear because; they feared unfair treatment at Senator Vest's hands. Ho said the telegram read was one directed to their own agent. STARVING ILLINOIS MINERS. Case of the Spring Valley Men Explained and Aid Appealed For. CniCAGO, Sept 4. An appeal to the public through the press is made by Henry D. Lloyd, formerly on the editorial statt of one of the Chicago morning papers. Mr. Lloyd hasmado a personal investigation on his own account of the condition of tho Illinois miners. He says: "There is greater jieed than ever of help for the starving men, women and children of Spring Valley in this State. There aro thousands of sufferers there from want of food, clothing, medicine and sympathy. Most of these sufferers are children, and most of the children ar little ones. I have just returned from Spring Valley. There in this great 'and prosperous Stato, and in the midst of harvest-laden farms and rich cities, the visitor will see a cemetery of the living. Instead of tho light of health, here shines in the eyes of tho men and women the phosphorescence of dying strength, and the children, fatally weakened by want, are dying or diphtheria. There are families where adults and children, grievously sick, aro without medicalattendance and medicines, because there is no money to pay for them. "The men at Spring Valley are not strikers. They did not lose their work by striking. It was taken away from them. They are the victims of two lock-outs. Last Christmas about 1,000 of them were shut out of work by an order closing part of the mine. Their comrades, knowing that the men and their families thus turned into unexpected idleness in the dead of winter would starve, divided their own work with them. For the rest of the winter every miner laid oil' one day in three in order to give part work to all. This lasted into ApriL Then the community, exhausted by this strainof supportinathreemenandtheir families on the earnings of two men, received its final blow. April 20, without previous notice of any kind, all the miners were told to take away their tools. and leave the mines, which were closed. Tn an afternoon their livelihood was taken from them. They had had no thought or plan of striking. They were not even given the chance of working for lower wages. From the day they received this notice to quit until V. L. Scott, of Krie, made his recent offer to them of a reduction of wages from W ceuts a ton to tho equivalent of about 55 cents or less, coupled with the demau 1 that they give up their labor unions, these men have been waiting in involuntary idleness to learn what was to bo their fate. Before the lock-out they earned on the average, according to their own figures, about $o0 a month; according to figures given me by an ollicial of tho company they earned about $43 a month. If theso were their earnings at 90 cents a ton what would they be at 55 cents a ton! Tho settlement of the strikes elsewhere in the coal region has caused the public to slacken in their contributions of relief, in the mistaken belief that the Spring Valley difliculty was included in the agreement This is an error. Tho men are still out of work, and the situation at Spring Valley is worse than it has been elsewhere." Gratifying Increases In Wages. Reading, Pa., Sept 4. The Pottstown Iron Company, at Tottstown, to-day, announced an increaso in the wages of the puddlers, in its three mills, from $3.25 to $3.50 a'toni to take effect Sept. 16. Over live hundred men aro affected. A year ago. nearly all the mills in tho Schuylkill valley were paying $3 per ton, and since then nearly all have, increased wages until a large majority are now paying from $a.40 to :i.Kito puddlers, and all other employes in proportion.., , . . ; Urazfl Relief Funds.

Travelers by land or sea are liable to constipation or other derangements of the stomach and bowels which, if neglected, lead to serious and often fatal consequences. The most sure means of correcting these evils is the use of Ayer's Cathartic Pills. Tho prudent sailing-master would as soon go to sea without his chronometer as without a supply of these Pills. Though prompt and energetic in operation, Ayer's Pills leave no ill effects ; they aro purely vegetable and sugar-coated ; the safest medicine for old and young, at home or abroad. " For eight years I was afflicted with constipation, which at last became so bad that tho doctors could do no more for me. Then I began to take Ayer's Pills, and soon the bowels recovered their natural and regular action, so that now I am in Excellent health." Mrs. C. E. Clark, Tewksbury, Massachusetts. I regard Ayer's Pills as one of the most reliable general remedies of our times. They have been in use in my family for affections requiring a purgative, and have given unvarying satisfaction. We have found them an excellent remedy for colds and light fevers." W. It. Woodson, Fort Worth, Texas. " For several years I have relied more upon Ayer's Pills than upon anything else in the medicine chest, to regulato my bowels and those of the ship's crew. These Pills are not severe in their action, but do their work thoroughly. I have used them with good effect for the cure of rheumatism, kidney troubles, and dyspepsia." Capt Mueller, Steamship Felicia, New York City. " I have found Ayer's Cathartic Pills to be a better family medicine for common use than any other pills within my knowledge. They are not only very effective, but safe and pleasant to take qualities which must make them valued by the public." Jules Hauel, ;Perfamer, Philadelphia, Pa. Ayer's Pills, 7BEFAKEO BY Dr.' J. C.
