tcrlay, died at the hospital tonl?ht. When the mob 'reached Duquesn? to-day It had numbered six thousand strikers and sympathizers. With yells they attacked the Duquesne tube works, drove all tr.e nun at work out of the plant, drew the fires and ran the hot metal from the furnace out on the floor. The reasons the strikers give for their actions was that the works were using Mack sheep ocal. Tha assault was witnessed by thousands of spectator:;. As the strikers left one of the men threw a plank in front of a train, nearly derailing It. FIGHT ON A BRIDGE.

There will be no battle between the fortified union miners on Bull hill and the army of deputy sheriffs, which Is now encamped on Beaver creek, less than five miles from Bull hill, unless a treacherous move Is made by one side or the other. The aspect of affairs was decidedly warlike until 3 o'clock this afternoon. Although the deputies cut all the telegraph wires between this city and Midland, the miners were quickly informed by their scouts of the advance of the sheriffs force, and prepared for battle. They were willing to submit to the militia, but declared they would never be arrested until the troops arrived. Mayor Lindsay and President Parker, of the First National Bank, called up Sheriff Bowers by telephone and begged him to stop his deputies until the troops could reach camp. Sheriff Bowers agreed to this, and there Is every TUKn to believe that there will be no further hostilities. Alex. Mcintosh, representing the miners, announced that they would lay down their arms immediately on the arrival of the State troops. The deputies will follow the troops to the mlnersf camp and serve warrants, which they are said to hold for two hundred strikers. Under Sheriff Mullens Invited all the newspaper correspondents in camp into a room at the Hardy House at 10 o'clock last night and Informed them that the deputies were about to move on to Bull Hill, and &s It was desired to have the fact kept secret th correspondents would be kept under guoVd for a few hours There were 1,200 deputies In the army which left here at 2 a. nL Sheriff Bowers did not go forward with them, but returned to attend a conference with Brigadier General Brooks. The deputies were under command of a young military man, enlisted as a private, whose name is not known. It was the intention to proceed to Beaver Park and send a committee to Bull Hill to- demand that certain strikera be surrendered. If the request was not complied with the march to the hill was to be resumed. The operator at Divide telegraphed to-day that deputies, with rifles, were standing guard over him, and would not permit him to send any message about what was going on or deliver messages conveying instructions to correspondents. The First Regiment of National Guard Is stranded at Colorado Springs, owing" to the washout. It will take them nearly a week to go overland. One of the Grievances. DENVER, Col., June 6. one of the grievances of the striking coal miners in Colorado has been the issuance of scrip In payment for their work, which they have been forced to accept as money and use at the company's store. Governor Waite claims that this Is a violation of United States law, and asked the federal authorities to Investigate. The movement to induce the miners In the northern part of the State to strike in sympathy with those in the southern part has failed. OHIO MILITIA OUT. Twelve Hundred Men Sent to the Eastern Part of the State. COLUMBUS, O., June 6. Governor McKinley has just ordered out a force of 1,200 militiamen to the scene of the strike In eastern Ohio. All of the command of the Fourteenth Regiment and the Eighth Regiment and several companies of the Seventeenth Regiment have been ordered out. Th? Fourteenth Regiment left on a special train at midnight for eastern Ohio. The scenes of the trouble are in Belmont and Guernsey counties. Tied I p for Lack of Coal. CLEVELAND, O., June 6. The big passenger steamer City of Cleveland, of the Detroit and Cleveland line, was laid up to-day for an indefinite period, owing to the coal famine. Numerous fleets of ore and freight vessels have been compelled to tie up for lack of fuel, and the very few boats which remain In service are using hard coal. The various railways leading into the city are reducing the number of trains to the lowest possible limit, and the fuel question is becoming a most serious one on all sides. The big rolling mills at Newburg were compelled to close down to-day for want of fuel. It is estimated that between three thousand and four thousand are idle-as a result of the shut-down. The Ohio Central closed Its shops at Bucyrus this morning, throwing1 two .hundred men out of employment because of the coal famine. ' i Federal Injunction Issued. CINCINNATI, O., June 6. It leaked out to-nlght that United States Judge Taft, on application of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company, Issued an injunction restraining nine miners at Bellalre, O., names unknown, from Interfering with the passage of trains. The Cleveland, Lorraine & Wheeling road has a contract with the Baltimore & Ohio to deliver West Virginia coal at Cleveland, and the interference of miners ts making this impossible. Hence the order. The papers were filed at Columbus night before last. pauois uiwjx CAMBRIDGE, O., June 6. The situation hero to-night is very serious. The miners are determined that no more coal shall pass, no matter what must be resorted to In order to prevent it. One coal train slipped, through by running' on a passenger train's schedule. When the passenger train followed the miners flagged It. They were very mad over being fooled by the engineer of the coal train. The passenger train got through, but it received a volley of stones, all the windows being broken. The passengers, however, had been forewarned, and were not hurt. The mob then became so desperate as to alarm all citizens, and Sheriff Mason, asked Governor "UcKlnley to send troops Immediately. Troop at I"rol lnr. FRQSTBURG, Md., June 6. The presence f the two regiments of cavalry and the National Guards, numbering over a thousand men, has had a disquieting effect upon th strikers. For the first time they fear the advent of new men to take their places in the mines. It is believed now that It is a question of only a little time before the sober second thought will prevail and ' that the rush for work will begin. By order of General Douglass the troops are to be used only to aid the civil authorities. The people hre resent the sending of the militia. They say they are not needed. An attempt was made to blow up with dynamite the house of Charles Lancaster, a miner who refused to go ouL Lancaster and his wife were asleep in the house at the time, and their escape from death was marvelous. llrraklnK the Strike. PITTSBURG, June 6.-The . first determined effort of the roal operators In the Pittsburg district to break the strike was made at several places to-day. At Manown tha Youghioheny Gas Coal Company put Into their mints one hundred deputies heavily armed to protect the nonunion men who went to work. An outbreak is expected in the morning, when th? sr;i:er9 claim they will have at least one th . - ind men on hand at daybreak. They have i.f?.i tSro.vn int the wildest excitement b th? arrival of Import rd mn and deputies. The operators on the Youtjhlogheny anl at Greensburg will nlsj make an attempt opera t; their mines within the next fori7-eight hours with imported men. He lett met! on Hall. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., June 6. The miners who were arrested charged with stealing a Sunt a Fe train last week were released
on bond to-day, a formal charge having been made apalnst them in the Criminal Court. The sum was $T0o In each case, and was furnished by the city marshal of Richmond, Mo., who brought the rr.en sufficient money to pay their fares home, for which place they left at once. m MMMBa Working Fnll Time. PITTSBURG, Kan., June 6.-Shaft No. 3 of the Western Coal Mining Company, at Fleming, started to-day with a full force of men. Now every shaft In the district is at work and the men are making fall time. WAR AT LAST.
(Concluded from First Pnge.) Daviess county, the strike trouble is by no means settled here. The feeble attempt to hold a coal train at Montgomery Monday night right under the noses of the militia was regarded more as a joke than anything else, but when a more successful attempt was made last night, resulting In the tying up of a local freight and delay of both freight and passenger trains, the matter took a serious nature. Sheriff Leming was taken to Montgomery, which lies between this city and Cannelburg, this morning, and assisted the train crew In removing- the cars that had been forcibly side-tracked. This , was accomplished with very little, difficulty, and the train was ready to pull out about the time the miners realized what was taking place. About fifty were standing guard, some three or four hundred yards away, but before the men could organize to resist the removal of the cars the train was In motlcn. Fifteen or twenty men boarded the cars, but the engine. In backing out of the switch, pulled so hard that they could net draw the pins, and they soon gave up the attempt. This morning when Gade, Summers and Flynn appeared In court to answer the charges for which they were arrested Sunday the State's attorneys were not present. One was unavoidably detained out of the city and the other at home quite 111. The defendants' , attorneys asked that the case be continued until October, but Judge Hefron, who is determined In his effort to suppress the lawlessness here, denied the request and Insisted that the men appear in court to-morrow for trial. He said: "An attempt Is being made to measure strength with the law and we shall see to it that the fight is carried out on this line." Thlt was a very, severe rebuke to the miners, and they were heard to criticise it freely to-day. The court's outlined position did not seem to have the soothing effect that was desired. Within a few hours after appearance In court a train on tha Evansvllle & Indianapolis was held up a hair mile northwest of this city and the trainmen compelled to side-track a car of coal. The coal was from Kentucky and was on its way to Greene county. Steps are being taken to reclaim the car, which is now being guarded by a lot of women and boys. A meeting of Baltimore. .& Ohio. South western trainmen was held here this afternoon and the company will be asked not to run coal trains any more after night. The trains are so often stoned in Indiana and Illinois that the work of crews is becoming extremely perilous. ORDER RESTORED. Conl MovIuk Through Sullivan CountyA Fruitless Quest. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SHELBURN. Ind., June 6. Twenty-three carloads of coal passed up the Evunsville & Terre Haute road to-day undisturbed. It was the first coal that has gone through this place for two weeks without being captured. The train did not meet with any resistance. Early this morning General McKee sent out scouting parties to look for strikers, but none was found. The soldiers who went out reported tb?.t the male population seemed to Have flown to other parts. Information received by General McKee led him to believe that an effort to capture the coal might be made south of this place, and at noon the Indianapolis Light Infantry was sent to Carlisle, a little village fourteen miles south of here, to escort the coal train through the disturbed district. Before the arrival of the train with the coal the Light Infantry was loaded Into two box cars immediately in the rear of the locomotive and the doors closed. Everybody connected with the strategic movement felt confident that if any strikers showed themselves on the trip they would be trapped by the soldiers. Superintendent Corbett, of the railroad, rode on the locomotive, and it had been arranged that In case the train was flopped he should sound the whistle five times. The militiamen, on hearing the signal, were to spring from their hiding places and rush at the strikers. The train left Carlisle about 3 o'clock and proceeded slowly toward Shelburn. Nowhere along the road were there any signs of strikers. Shelburn was reached at 5 o'clock, and an hour later the train was side-tracked at Farmersburg for the night. There is no doubt that the miners had information as to the plans of General, McKee. How they learned that soldiers in box cars .were to accompany the train no one knows, but the Journal correspondent was informed this evening that the strikers knew an hour before the Light Infantry left the depot here what th-; plan was. It is known that there are several telegraph operators among the miners, and it is believed that they are eavesdropping at the telegraph offices along the line and listening to the messages that are going over the wires. The movement of the coal was really the only event of the day, and it was so tame that the soldiers were disappointed. The troops are still quartered in the cars. Three companies are at Farmersbur;?; the remainder here.' It is expected that tomorrow the troops will be divided up, some going to Daviess county and others to Clay county perhaps. General McKee during the day received reports cf the trouble In the two counties and is ready to dispatch troops upon demand. When the news of the killing of engineer Barr was received ' here the employes of the Evansville & Terre Haute road said openly that hereafter they would have no sympathy for the strikers. No one seems to know what the plans for to-morrow are. It is the impression of the officers of the militia that then; will be no trouble here so long as the troops remain here, but everybody recognizes the fact that to withdraw the men would be inviting the miners to begin harassitg the railroad company again. PIT OFF TIIK TRAI.V. Rioters ot Permitted to Shut Down the Cunnrlton 3Ilnes. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CANNELTON, Ind., June (".Yesterday about two hundred miners started from Lincoln City and other points to close down the mines of the American Cannel Company at this place. To-day seventy rrtembers of the mob boarded the train at Evanston. intending to steal a ride to this city, but Sheriff Conway and a deputy put them off the train without trouble. The American Cannel Company employs about two hundred men, and furnishes coal to -all the steamboats along the Ohio and the factories in this city. Last Monday the steamer City of Carrolton stopped here and loaded five thousand bushels of coal, enough to run from here to Memphis and return to Cincinnati. The coal company cannot rill its orders, but it has not increased tne price, bushel to everybody. increased the price, which is i cents a Oxford I.li;Iit (innriln ttrlllltif:.

FORT WAYNE, Ind., June 6. To-day articles of incorporation were filed organizing the Fort Wayne Electric Corporation. It is capitalized in the sum of $1,500,000. and will be a Fort Wayne institution. The object shall be the manufacture and operation of machinery and apparatus for the generation, transmission and use of electricity in all forms and for all purposes. The affairs of the company will be managed by five directors, and for the first year Ronald T. McDonald, Charles. C. Miller. M. C. Gross, Sidney C. Lumbard and Charles S. Knight, all Fort Wayne men, will be the directors, H. C. Hanna Btarted for Indianapolis to file the papers of incorporation with the Secretary of State and Hon. J. M. Barrett brought action in th Superior Court asking on behalf of the new company for the appointment of liquidators for the Fort Wayne Electric Company. The cause of this complication has been the determination by the Eastern managers of the General Electric Company to move the works from this city to an Eastern city. R. T. McDonald opposed and threatened to withdraw from the company. Then came the fire that destroyed the works and an order to reinstate the local plant In Brooklyn. Mr. McDonald refused and laid the matter before Fort Wayne citizens, and $23,000 has been raised to rebuild the works. The company was compelled to accept the donation and to continue the industry at this point. Iast year the general business depression caused - a great falling off in business everywhere, and the Boston concern and other branches were shut down. Mr. McDonald received orders to temporarily close the Fort Wayne factory. He refused, and showed that the works here were full of work, and he wouldn't make harder the lot of workmen whose hours had been reduced. The relations between McDonald and the managers of the General Electric Company, which held a large portion of the stock In the local company, became strained, and the annual election was approaching and imminent danger of the losa of the works forever threatened Fort Wayne, and upon application of McDonald E. J. Hathorne and Henry J. Miller were appointed receivers of the old company. There Is money to liquidate every dollar's worth of Indebtedness, and every debt will be met and paid promptly. The new company will absorb all current contracts and business of the old company, together with that of the Fort Wayne Jenney Electric Company. : The Third District To-Day.

Her Majesty had never done aught but royal things, but she had never so widened her empire and touched the hearts of the Christian world as she did when she knighted George Williams simply for his great goodness.

Purdue was open to her many friends today for the first time on a public occasion since the fire, and although the public had kept pretty well informed of her restoration, people were surprised at the rapidity with which she has arisen from the ashes. The great building was seen xo be restored In all its first floor parts, only thft threestory front being yet untouched, an unsightly pile of brick and the grim ruins of a pretentious tower marking its outline. The old locomotive "Schenectady," the pride of Purdue people and the delight of visitors, had been given a new Jacket and beautifully repaired, and a few days ago been driven in on a permanent track oi' her own to a new place in a new building built especially for her, and the visitors to-day saw the huge machine resting on the old mount, but hitched to the most perfect dynamometer yet invented. New machines fresh from exhibition at the world's fair replaced some that were destroyed by fire, and friends had . put In new ones on a later type, so that to-day Purdue showed to the public promise of a better and more complete equipment than before the catastrophe. The university today granted more diplomas than at any previous commencement sixty-six regular degrees and thirteen advanced degrees, in addition to the thirty-seven given at the pharmacy commencement in April, making 117 In all.
