several hundred strong, provided -with arms. OJuarded by their experience of two year3 ago they are not now In open Insurrection, but are fighting secretly and under cover. Many peaceable citizens have haen ordered to leave the country. The sheriff declares his inability to protect life and property. We have not sufficient militia to support him. and nothing but the presence of troops will restore confidence and safety. This is no time to quibble over questions of law and precedents. The conditions are now eerlous; Mood has been shed and property destroyed. I. therefore, believe my request to th president for troops embodies all that should be required, and ask thit you unite in petitioning him for the aU xi e need. "W. J. M'COXNELL. - "Governor."

t)ake Pullman "Will LUten to " Ilenaon. WASHINGTON. D. C. July 7. Secretary Herbert saw Pullman. Herbert has just returned from New York. He has been away for two days, and as every effort was made to hide his absence no one knew it He talked with him about che strike and urged on him that Cleveland and the cabinet were of but one opinion, and that was that he (Pullman) should at once consent to arbitration; that he should make the offer immediately by wire tc Mayor Hopkins so that without loss of a moment the tumult could be settled and life and property 6a.ved. Pullman declined emphatically. He said he would never arbitrate. That he would run his own business and intimated, rather than said, that he did not care to be counseled by Cleveland or anybody else as to how his private affairs should b conducted. He was ab.dinsr by the law. he said, and would not yield to force and intimidation. Let the worst tome, he would never arbitrate, or concede even an interview to Debs or any to-called labor leaders. He should for the damage done him in the destruction of his property look to the law. The ciy of Chicago, the county of Cook, and the railroad companies which had his cars were responsible for every dollar of his loss. He said he would abide by the law and f ir the last time declined positively to talk of arbitration. Herbert "went away much disgusted with the man and the interview. When Cleveland received Herbert's wire yesterday that nothing could b done with Pullman it is said that the president's remarks didn't Indicate any admiration for the fcwner of the sleeping cars. A PROTI1ST i:TKRF.D. Jeb anil Sovereign 'In I It to Preitlent Cleveland. CHICAGO, July 7. The following letter was telegraphed to President Cleveland tonight by Messrs. Pebs and Sovereign, cf the A. Ii. I". and Knights jf Labor: CHICAGO. 111.. July 7. To the Hon. drover Cleveland. President of thy United States, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir Through a long period of degression, pnf.iriv.l idleness and low wage?, resulting in widespread poverty, r.d In many eases actual starvation, the working people have been patient, tiatriotic and law-abiding; and. not until the Iron heel of corporate tyranny was ipplied with the intention to subjugate Ihe working people to the will of arrofcsnt monopolies did. they make any effort to stay their oppressors. The Ihillman strike was not declared Jintil the employes of the Pullman combany were driven to the verge of starvation, their entreaties spurned with contempt and their grievances denied a bearing. No refusal to handle Pullman bars was declared by any railway employe until all propositions looking toward arbitration and ooivilliation were rejected by the Pullman company. Notwithstanding the facts set forth above were known to the public and the national authorities, you have seen Hi, under the guise of protecting the mails and federal property, to invoke the service ! cf the Unite l States army, whose very presence Is used to coerce and intimidate peaceable working people into a humiliutinjc obedience to the will of their oppressors. By your act?, in so far as you have supplanted civil and state authorities with the federal military power, the spirit of unrest and distrust has so far been fe-ugmented that a deep-seated conviction is fast becoming prevalent that this government Is goon to be declared a military despotism. The transmission of the United States mails is not interrupted by the striking employes of any railway rompany. but by the companies themlelves who refused to haul the mails on trains to which Pullman cars were not fettaehed. If it is a criminal interference w-lth the United States mails for the employes of a railway company to detach jrom a mail train a Fullman palace car Contrary to the will of the company. Then it holds true that It is the same criminal Interference whenever a Pullman, palace car is detached from a mail train In accordance with the will of a railway company while said mail train is In transit. The line of criminality in Buch case should not be drawn at the willingness or unwillingness of railwa employes, but at the act lrelf, and inasmuch as it has been the common practice of railway corporations to attach and fletach from mail trains Pullman palace cars at will. while said trains ire In transit and carrying the mails of the United States, It would seem an act of discrimination against the employes of a railway corporation to declare such acts unlawful Interference with the transmission of mails when done by employes With or without the consent of their employers. In view of these facts we look upon the Tar-fetched decision of Attorney-General Dlney, the sweeping unamerlcan injuncliori against railway employes and the Jnovements of the regular army as employing the powers of the general government for the support and protection of the railway corporations in their determination to degrade and oppress their employes. The present railway strike was precipitated by the uneasy desire of the railway Corporations to destroy the organizations Df their employes and make the working people more subservient to the will of their employers, anl as all students of fjOYernment asjree that free institutions depend for their perpetuity upon the freedom and prosperity of the common people, it would seern more In consonance nvlth the spirit of democratic government If federal authority was exercised in defense of the rights of the toiling masses to life, liberty and the pursuits of happiness. But, on the contrary, there is not an Instance on record where, in any conflict between the corporations and the people, the strong arm of the military power has been employed to prot?ct the working people and the Industrial masses from the ravage and persecution of corporate greed. But the measure of character has been In the line of declaring the corporations always pood and In th tight and the working people always bad nd In the wrong: Now, sir, we pledge to you the power of pur respective organizations, individually and collectively, for the maintenance of peace and good order and the preservation of life and property, and will aid In the arrest and punishment of all violators of the civil and criminal laws of ptate or nation. In the present contest between labor and railway corporations xve shall use every peaceable and honorable means at our command, consistent with the law and our constitutional rights, to secure for the working people Just compensation for labor done and respectable consideration In accordance with the Inherent right of all men and the spirit fit republican government. In doing so we appeal to all the liberty-loving people cf the nation to aid and support us in fchis most Just and righteous cause. EUGENE V. DEBS, j President American Railway Union. J. R.

Governors Altgeld and Matthews Get Together And Their Respective Forces Will Co-Operate. The State Line Will No Longer Be a Barrier. HUNDREDS OF TELEGRAMS Are Received and Sent By Governor Matthews, Among Them Being One To President Cleveland. Over Seven Hundred Troops Massed at Hammond. At the Inltrd State Mamhal'i Office Advice Are Received All During the Day Fart Coneerntnar the S it t -or tlaj- Mght Conference Governor Matthews Sunday afternoon made a statement In regard to the conference held y him with Judges Woods and Baker, Marshal Hawkins and District Attorney Burke at midnight Saturday night. He said that a proposition was made at th3t conference to ask the president to call out the Indiana militia as federal troops, which he opposed on the ground that the state would lose all control of thöm and necessity might arise which would cause the government to send them to Chicago anl leave Hammond and other Indiana points unprotected; also that snould any part of them be sent to Chicago it would place them in a more dangerous position, which he would not consent to have done as long as the state of Illinois or the federal government had troops which could be used for that purpose. The proposition to have the state militia sworn in as deputy United States marshals was opposed for th? same reasons. When the conference ended it was still not decided what action, if any be taken, except that troops would be ordered out. Judge Baker said last r.ight: "The condition is now such that it has reSolved itself into a battle for supremacy between law and mob rule. The original controversy has been for the present submerged and whatever the merits of the original controversy raaj be they must be postponed for settlement until law and order prevail. "The only thing for the government and the state authorities to do is to suppress all lawlessness, and this will be clone. I have the greatest confidence in Governor Matthews and believe he is alert to the real gravity of the situation. Whatever his been decided to be done, and I am not at liberty to divulge the ai t ions of the meeting held between him and myself last night, I will say that there is no friction of any kind between the federal and state authorities, and I do not think there will be any." Wa h Stormy Conference. If was divulged last night that the meeting held Sunday morning between Governor Matthews, District Attorney Burke. Marshal Hawkins and Judge Baker was of such a spicy character that the days of the original framing of the constitution were recalled when the federalists and states' rights parties were struggling with each other in the constitutional convention. The federal power and state executive came together and handled each other without gloves for a short portion of the four hours during which they were in conference. The governor absolutely refused to allow the troops to go out from under his control and be subject to call to Chicago, while it was the opinion of the federal end of the controversy that the government alone should take charge of the situation. After the controversy had been waged warmly for nearly two hours a compromise was agreed upon and each person present was sworn to secrecy. While the formality of swearing in the troops as deputy United States marshals was agreed to be dispensed with In order that the state might get the credit for putting down the trouble, it was decided that as soon as the troops arrived at Hammond in a body the dozen or more deputy marshals and the twenty deputy sheriffs of the county, who were ordered to meet them, would unite with them and virtually take control should the condition be found to be serious and the destruction of property threatened. A deputy marshal will be with a platoon of troops at all times, as well as a deputy sheriff, and If trouble arises the troops cannot only shoot by orders of their superior officers, but will act as deputy sheriffs and deputy marshals at the call of the deputies acompanying them.

This is a proceeding that Is resorted to only in cases of rare emergencies, but the situation at Hammond was regarded as suffi iently serious to warrant it. In this way the jrrest of all persons found damaging or destroying property of any kind is assured and the troops will have not only the power of state militia, but of United States marshals and deputy sheriffs as well. The formality of swearing them in will be dispensed with In this way, while the troops will have all the Iowers of deputy sheriffs and marshals and the state will get the credit of putting down the mob and restoring order. There was some delay in getting the troops staited, but at 3:10 yesterday afternoon a special I,. K. & V. train left the Union station with a gutling gun. a detachment of the light artillery, provisions, tents and munitions of war. The troops are to mass at Orimth, five miles from Hammond. The total number ordered out is 71. Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, after receiving several telegrams from the railroad officials in regard to the Hammond situation. Governor Matthews sent the following telepram to Washington: "Hon. C.rover Cleveland, President I'nited States: "Since Judge Maker, District Attorney TUirke and Marshal Hawkins wired the attorney-general, the situation at Hammond grows more alarming. Mail trains are held and all traffic st pp-d; the town In control rf a mob and overrun by desperate characters from Chicago. Available state troops will r on be on the way to Hammond; oih-r j!nts in state in threatening and d.mg'-reus condition. It is absolutely n.rssiry that at least three companies of United Slates troops be ordered to th.it point without delay. Will use every myitis at my command and co-operate with pi ernmenU droops. "CLArDK MATTHEWS." (Jovernor Matthews received the following answer to the above telegram at 4:10 in the afternoon: "Hon. Claude Matthews: "Your telegram of this date, addressed to the president, has been referred to EUaj-Gen. Miles, commanding the department of the Missouri, headquarters at Chicago, who has full authority to act in the premises. Please communicate with him at that place. "DANIICL S. LA MONT, "Secretary of War." Fcdernl Troops Sent. The governor said that he concluded from this message that Gen. Miles would Immediately order troops to Hammond, as he was close enough to know the situation and necessity for immediate action. A little later word was received through Superintendent Miller of the Pennsylvania company that two companies of regulars had been ordered from Newport, Ky., to proceed to Hammond. With this information at hand the governor did not think it necessary to wire a request to Gen. Miles for troops. On account of the state line making it difficult for the state troops to handle a mob at Hammond, and the governor's desire to retain full control of thestate militia, it seemed almost like a puzzle to obtain a solution of the question. For the protection of the Indiana towns along the border, the governor deemed it necessary to have the troops so that they could be at once ordered at any point on the border, yet he did not want them to stand by and see Illinois property destroyed just across the line with the troops helpless to prevent it. In view of this condition of affairs he sent the following telegram tc Governor Altgeld at 3 o'clock: TelcKram to Altsreld. "I have found it necessary to order state troops to Hammond. Owing to the peculiar situaiion there, the state line dividing the town, I helievo it would be well to have our rcspecthe forces cooperate in suppressing lawlessness at that point. To accomplish this I suggest that we each accord to the other the right, if it should be necessary and best, permit troops to cross the line and In a espects aid in establishing peace and order. You consenting, construe thL; into a like consent on my part. "CLAUDE MATTHEWS. "Governor." At 11 p. m. Sunday Governor Mat- l thews received the following reply to . his message to Governor Altgeld: "SPRING FIELD, 111., July S. "The Hon. Claude Matthews, Governor: "I heartily approve of your suggestion and our troops will act in the most friendly accord with yours. Mayor Hopkins has already Informed me of your consideration and forethought, and the Illinois troops have b-n directed to go Into Indiana whenever it Is deemed necessary to t":!.M- t"!y suppn ; s lawlessness, enforce the law or maintain order In Illinois, and your troops will, of course, come into Illinois at any point when It Is deemed necessary to have them do so for the purpose of upholding the laws and maintaining order in the state of Indiana. "JOHN P. ALTGELD, Governor." After the troops had started from the various points for Hammond, Governor Matthews serct the following telegram to P. Reilley, mayor of Hammond: "Troops now on their way to your city. They go to assist the authorities to restore order and enforce law. I trust their mission may be peaceably performed It will not be their fault If otherwise. I would suggest and request that you im

mediately issue a proclamation to your citizens to abstain from collecting In crowds on the streets or about the railroads, and especially that women and children be warned of the danger should a mob resist the authority of the law. "CLAUDE MATTHEWS." The governor was deluged with telegrams from railroad officials Sundiy stating the serious condition of affairs at Hammond and asking for troops to help move tbe trains. Among them were messages from E. St. John, chairman of the General Managers' asodation of Chicago; A. M. Tucker, general manager of the Chicago & Erie road, and Winston & Meager, counsel for the Michigan Central. Memajre from Friedrich. The fli-st official news received here Sunday morning in regard to the Hammond riots was the following message from Sheriff Friedrich at 11 a. m.: "United States marshals saved: they are in bed. Send militia to gvt them home. Everything else wrecked. About twenty-eight box cars turned across the tracks. One Pullman car burned: two with windows all smashed. On the Mo-n-n every telegraph operator driven from his office. Employes pounded. I was powerless to stop the cioting, which I have told all along. There will be no danger now in the daytime, but look out for breakers at night. I have been up all night and am going to bed." He wired the sheriff that tropos would arrive during the evening and about 2 o'clock he received a short message from the sheriff: "There Is no strike here. This is a civil war by a mob."

ROSTRH OF fOMI'AMES. rcontI. Third anil Fourth Rfglraflill 3!nsel at Hnmmonil. The militia has gone to Hammond, 7.V) strong. The orders were given early Sunday morning, and all day long there was a scene of bustle about the state house, receiving and sending telegrams to various companies. The Indianapolis light artillery, which is officially known as company A. under Adjt. Dan Thompson, responded with fifteen men. Dr. W. W. Wright accompanied then as surgeon. The Call wa3 not unexpected, and little trouble was had in getting the light artillery ready, but on account of the other companies not being ready to Join them at the meeting points along the route their departure was delayed till shortly after 3 o'clock. The L. E. & W. railroad backed a special train into the depot, composed of a coal car for the Catling gun. three baggage cars for supplies, and a chair car for the men. A detachment of policemen 'was on hand to gviard the train and see that it was not crippled so as to delay the departure of the troops. The train was In charge of Conductor Oliver Heath, with Engineer K. L. Norton an.l Fireman M. Whitsell on the engine. The members of te artillery company, who were ready nearly all diy. were soon at the depot, and after loading their gun on the coal car took charge of the train and guarded it with fixed bayonets. All f this precaution seemed unnecessary, however, as there were few strikers to be seen in the curious crowd that collected, and most of the expressions heard were of praise for the governor for his action in sending thetro ps out. Heavy wagons som began to arrive, and tents to accommodate fcOtl nien were loaded in the baggage cars. The troops could have no fear of the threat to starve them out at Hammond, as provisions to last them for several weeks were also stored away in the baggage cars. At 3:10 Adjt.-Gen. Robbins appeared on the scene, and amid the cheers of the crowd and the good-bys of friends the train pulled out, carrying a squad of fifteen of Indianapolis' brave soldier bays. Roofer of Compnnlen. The other troops ordered out by the governor, with number of men on their muster rolls, is as follows: Second Regiment, Maj. E. P. Thayer, Greenfield, Commanding Company B, Rochester, 50: Company F. Elwood, 50; Company H, Knox, 50; Company I, Kokomo, 50. Third Regiment, Col. J. K. Gore. Elkhart, Commanding Company A. Bremen, 49; Company D. Plymouth. 50; Company C, Goshen, 56; Company E, Elkhart, 56; Company F, South Bend, 60; Company L, Laporte, 4S. Fourth Regiment, Col. George W. Gunder, Marion, Commanding Company A, Marion, 51; Company G. Muncie, 50; Company E, Bluffton, 4J; Company D, Wabash, 50; Company II, Warsaw, 56. This makes a total of 7S4 now ordered to Hammond Sunday morning the Intention was to have the militia at Hammond before dark Sunday, but circumstances unforseen caused a delay of several hours. The principal delay was caused by the inability to reach many of the captains by telegraph. It being Sunday, many of the Western Union and Postal telegraph offices, even in the larger towns, were closed during the morning, and after vain attempts to get the messages through, they were returned to the governor as Impossible to transmit. The railroad wires were then called into service, but here another delay occurred. Not being prepared to deliver messages, it took some time forthe railroad operators to get them in the hands of the militia officers after having received them. All this trouble caused a delay of several hours, so that it was almost 3 o'clock when the adjutant-general received messages that all the companies which were to meet him at Peru were ready to start. Arrangements were that the train from here would pick up the Elwood, Kokomo and Muncie companies at Kokomo, the Marion, Bluffton and Wabash companies at Peru, the Rochester company at Rochester, and the Knox, Bremen and Warsaw companies at Plymouth, while another train would take Goshen, Elkhart, South Lend and Laporte companies to tho general rendezvous, at point a short distance east of Hammond, from which place the entire forces would march or proceed by slow train to Hammond. A Stone Thrown. The conductor of Big Four train No. 7, the New York express, which was due In this city at 10:30 Sunday night, reported that at Albany, the first station east of Muncie, a large stone was thrown through a window of one of the day coaches, pasing out of an open window on the other side of the car, narrowly missing a man who was asleep wdth his head aginst the window-sill. That the Ptone was large was indicated by the crash when it struck the glass. The Hen 1 Demon of the Marfth Is not a spook, but a reality.

Special. The strike situation here is becoming more alarming each day.. Last evening: a fresh meat train over the Michigan Central was stalled by cutting the pipe and letting all the water out of the engine. A west-bound mail train on the same road shared the same fate just after crossing the state line. The first Nickel riate train for two days arrived about 8 o'clock and could not cross the Michigan Central tracks on account of the deserted tower. The engineer backed his train into the siding and there it stood through the night and all day today. Various vain attempts were made to get some one to spike the "D" rail so the train could proceed, but Foreman Byan and his crew refused to make scabs of themselves and all others feared to make the attempt. The Monon trains last evening came in in two sections. One of the these was sent back to Dyer to lay out for the night and the other was stalled by the strikers letting the water from the enpine. The engineer and firemen were in perfect sympathy with the strikers and made no objection to their emptying the engine, nor did they make any attempt afterward to proceed. About 10 o'clock a crowd took a G. II. Hammond refrigerator car and spread it across the Krie and Nickel Plate crossings in such manner as to effectually block both roads. They then went just over the Blinois line and overturned a box car on the south track of tl Michigan Central route, which i.- double tracked through this city. Going still further down the tracks they set another box car across the north track and one siding. Last night there were four Chicago mail trains standing blocked in this city. The mail clerks pleaded with Postmaster Kbert to accept and forward the mail, but as there was no route by which it could be sent on he refused and the clerks had to sleep with and guard their mail. The fresh meat train was pulled out by an engine arriving from the East, and all other trains which attempted to move were left unmolested by the strikers. No violence was attempted. A large number of deputy marshals and deputy sheriffs were here, but failed to prevent the depredations. The Monon began to run its southbound trains again this morning and run regularly until 9 o'clock, when the vestibule train was held up and the Pullman sleepers cut out. No deputy United States marshals furnished protection and the sheriff was powerless. He at once went to the telegraph office and sent his last and final appeal to Governor Matthews. The governor has sent messages of inquiry until Sheriff Friederich has determined to ask no more for help and let the mob do its work with twenty-five deputy United States marshals scattered about, but not in sight when trouble occurs. Four or five of these deputies were formerly leaders in the strike and are now under recognizance bond to appear in the federal court and answer to the charge of obstructing the mails. Just before the Monon arrived a Michigan Central train pulled to the station, which is about one block from the state line. Just after crossing the state line the engineer found his air shut off. Four or five men sprung upon the engine while a vast crowd surrounded the train. Both engineer and fireman were assaulted with rocks and knocked from their cab. Engineer Harry McLean was struck in the face and in the back with stones, but not seriously injured. Fireman Sam Cooper had three or four very ugly cuts in the face made by stones by strikers. The front brakeman. whose name is Nichols, was almost as badly injured as was Cooper. Great excitement prevails and fears are entertain ea of what the night will yet bring forth. Later The small forces of deputy marshals and sheriffs are evidently unable to control the mob, which has driven them off the railway companies' grounds. The telegraph operators of all roads in the city have been warned to keep inside their offices and give no information, on pain of having their heads broken. It is reported that the manager of the Postal telegraph company has been chased out of town, but for what reason is not known. The Pullman sleepers cut off from the Michigan Central trains are still under guard Just over the Illinois line and the trains from the engine and trainmen have been run off. The mob has run out all the Western Union operators from the Michigan Central offices and the Monon night operator has just fled for his life, pursued by a howling mob. They are now menacing the Erie offices and it 13 expected that all communication with the city will soon be entirely cut off. At 11:20 p. m. word comes from Hammond that the Michigan Central operator has been caught by the mob and kicked nearly to death. The Erie operator was warned and has Just fled for his life. All communication witn Hammond by telegraph is now cut off and no trains are moving. At 11:30 the mob is rushing down the Erie tracks throwing switches and tampering with switchlights, so as to indicate that the tracks are clear. HAMMOND. July 8. Special. After the rioters attacked the Michigan Central railroad crew last night and Sheriff Frederick had telegraphed to Governor Matthews an urgent appeal for troops the rioters drove out the Western Union telegraph operators for sending the message to the governor. Then they boat with a coupling ptn the switch inspector, though he was not fatally wounded. During the night cars were overturned on every track so as to wreck trains on three or four roads. The windows of the Pullman coaches were riddled with stones. Early this morning a lamp exploded in one of these and it was gutted by the flames, though the fire department saved it from destruction. The city was in a state of awe through the night, every one fearing what the morning would bring forth. All traffic was at a standstill, except on the Monon. One train on that road

Five hundred puns have been collected and will be ready for use. A second volley was fired at the crowd tonipht, but no one was injured. The mayor has called a mass-meetin? to meet to discuss the situation. It is reported that six companies of state militia is also en route here. CHICAGO, July S. (Associated Tress report.) The rioting- at Hammond culminated this afternoon in a conflict between the mob and company I). Fifteenth I'nited States infantry, in which Charles Fleisher, a laborer, was killed, Victor Vaceter fatally wounded and William Campbell shut throuph both leps. A number of other people were sliphtly injured, but were carried away by their friends and secreted, and it will be impossible to learn the exact number wounded. The trouble tvgan last night, as told in these dispatches. The rioters kept their work up all night, burning cars and disabling engines. This mornin.:? they burned a Pullman car. Most of this work was done inside of the Illinois state line, and as soon as the Illinois militia, arrived n the scene the mob retired into Indiana and jerred at the troops. About 9 o'clock this inorniner a preat crowd pathered again about the Monon depot. Several freight cars were overturned and the Michigan Central tracks blockaded. The sheriff and marshal's deputies were powerless to restrain the mob, and as there was no hope of the Indiana militia arriving before late thin eveninp an appeal was made to the fe-1-eral authorities in Chicago. Company 1?, of the Fifteenth infantry, thirty-five men, was sent out at once. The troops were stationed about the Monon depot, as that seemed to be the center of the rioters' attack and their presence quieted things for a while and the blockade on the tracks was finally raised at 1 o'clock in the afternoon and several passenger trains pulled through. This seemed to anger the mob and. with an increase of number, its passions grew to a frenzy. The regulars were greeted with oaths and shouts of derision and volleys of sticks and stones were showered upon them. The men stood their ground however, and kept the mob for several hours from approaching the buildings, lly o'clock fully live thousand rioters were assembled. They had been aroused by their leaders to a frenzy that made an encounter with the soldiers certain. Several times they ruahej upon the company of troops, but were met by fixed bayonets and driven back. At last, however, the entire body of strikers made a determined rush toward the Spot. "Make ready! Fire!" was th command, and thirty-live Spring-fields rang out in response. A second volley quickly followed. The first volley stappered the rioters and the second stopped th-mi as effectually as it they had run against a stone wall. Several men were seen to fall, but thtv were taken away by their comrades, and the extent of their injuries could not bo learned. Fleischer fell in the front rank of the rioters. He was taken to the hospital, where he died in a short time. In the rush that followed scores of women and children were trampled upon and half a dozen women fainted on the tracks. The soldiers then took up a position on the tracks at the liussell-st- crossing. The news of the killing spread with remarkable rapidity and ten minutes afterward the streets in the vicinity were filled with a threatening mob. Maj. Hartz left his company for a few moments to assist the firemen and doctors in placing Vaceter on the patrol wagon and was immediately surrounded by a crowd. "Kill him!" "shoot him down!" were the cries of several excited men. as the mob surged around the major. Hartz, however, did not ray any attention to them and was not molested. The excitement by this time was intense. At thi3 point the excitement was at Its hight. Men ran from house to house borrowing shotguns, rifles and other firearms. "To arms," was the cry heard on every side and fully 3,000 people responded. Matters looked so threatening that a call was sent -to Chicago for reinforcements and two more companies were sent out on a special train. These additional troops were stationed at the scene of the trouble and effectual-
