"When, the injunction was issued by Judges ("Jrosscup and "Woods, the usual chancery summons was issued and thos3 name 1 in th injunction were directed to appear in court yesterday to answer. That was what brought Debs into court with the attorneys who have been retain.il to defend him and his brother r.fildirs. The information was read to the court by Attorney Mllchrist.

The unusual ,st;!it of mllltla. called to preserve order -it the polls, was witnessed at Pullman today. At the Sixth primary district Jh 11Ing plac" if the Thirty-fourth ward, located at the Pullman engine house, a hot light was waged betueui the factions supporting Georg W. Miller And Frank G. Hobcy for nomination at the Third Penatorial convention to bo h' Id tomorrow. Miller's Interests at the Pullman polls were In charge of Alderman Chadwick, wlill tlie American railway union candidate, Itelwy, was supported by a large crowd of the strikers. The lntter claimed tiuit their man was not having fair play, and I hat Miller had two of Iho three Judges and all l ho clerks. They placed William iilrkhoff at th polls ns challenger, and Alderman Chadwick demurred, claiming that Lilrkhot'f was not a resident of tie district. This canned a lively nw and for a tlm it looked as if th crowd, which had rapidly increased In sU, would cWan out Um polling places. 'Ihn police wer notified und sent a patrol wugoii with Lieut. Ilassett and eight officers to the seen. At the same time tome one called for the troops and two detachment of company F, First regiment, were sent on the double quick to the polls. Th show of force prevented nny trouble nnd the police drove tlie crowd back from the polling place. N o more trouble occurred until 4 o'clock wlisn the laundry girls from the Pullman laundry quit work. When th-y left the wor;:s they were surrounded by a demonstrative mob of front sot) to 1,0. i0 women and children, 't pirthm of the crowd followed Minnie Kaufman through th. streets of Pullman to her home. Near Market hall they stopped her progress and began to call her names, and one woman, it Is said, fitruck her In tlie face. Several policemen Ktepped In at this Juncture and gave her protection. No arrests1, were made. In the meantime an escort of ten policemen was having an Interesting time protecting seventeen of the laundry girls who live in Koseland. A mob of nearly five hundred women and children and a fw men followed them from the wrks down Fkyrence-ave. and on Eleventh-st. across the Illinois Central tracks. The
police were not accustomed to dealing w-ith a crowd of the feminine gender and did little more than keep the most turbulent women from seizing hoid of the frightened girls. The entire march was enllvenel with cries of "Scabs" and other epithets. At Roseland, when the girls separated, each was followed home by a small group of the women, whose object seemed to be to see where the girls lived. At 5 o'clock fifty Hollanders, who have been employed about the works as lum-ber-shovers, track-graders and repairers, left the southeastern" gate of the works for their homes in Roseland. They had a guard of sixteen policemen, commanded by Lieut. Hasset. Scarcely had they come from the works when 10 of the strikers, t-houtlng "scabs" and other names, surrounded themThey took the same courose toward Roseland as had been taken by the laundry girls. Before Itoseland was reached the crowd following them had increased largely, and it had become necessary for the police to charge It several times with a liberal use of the club before It wes dispersed. Each of the men was followed to ohls home by Several strikers, but were not molested. In the election today the A- K. U. delegates to the state senatorial convention were elected by 241 to 104. CHICAGO. July 21. The scenes of yesterday afternoon at Pullman were aain enacted today when the employes who decided to go to work In the morning quit for the day. The police had the mob of strikers in better control, however, and kept Florenee-ave.. along which they escorted these who had been at work, clear of the crowd. The crowd was compose! principally of women and children, who yelled and hooted and threw occasional clods of earth, sticks and stones. Mmply n Ilotlle ttt Turpentine. CHICAGO, July 20. The story that ft bomb was carried Into the Pullmin building during the strike with designs against the life of Vice-President Wiekes turns out to be a fake. The bottle was tilled with turpentine and is supposed tj have been sent into the building by a man who a few days before warned Mr. "Wiekes that an attempt would be made to blow up tlie building. It is believed that be sent the bottle into the building to corroborate his story and to Induce the Pullmin company to reward him. James Monaiihan, v. lio c irriel the hoitlf , WM 3 entirely innocent of any knowledge of the affair. He carried it in because lie was given GO cents to do so.

The engino and tho first four cars left the 'track, and the mail and baggage cars were overturned, one mail clerk was probably fatally hurt, and two others received painful injuries. Several pa-js -ngers were badly shaken and I rulsed. but none of thm were Seriously hurt. The engineer of 'the wrecked train sa s thera were no signal lihts display! d. The switch was set to ditch approaching trains, as a Helt line train was then switching on the crotsing. K. of I,, and Hie Strike. CHICAGO. July 20.

CHICAGO, July 20. A crowd of strikers overturned two loaded Ktock cars In the stock yards today and a striker threw a switch In front of a freight train, derailing tlie engine.

Place of Old Knit 1 11 err nnd Firemen Token ly vr Men. TOLEDO, July 20. A condition of affairs has developed among the brotherhod of engineers on the Wabash system, which may lead to trouble in that order. Since the Wabash refused trafllc after th strike, some 700 englnemen, of whom 4'0 are engineers, largely brotherhood men, and the other 00 firemen, have never been called on to report for duty, while th-lr engines are run by new men. Neither have they been notified of dismissal. They are rimply "hung up." The brotherhood engineers assume that they are not wanted. They say that of the new men who have -taken thlr places a number are brotherhood men. and that for th'j latter to displace them is contrary to tlie laws of the order. They propose to make things lively In the order for some one, particularly for Chief Arthur. TIII1Y GUI! IT I P. striker nt Siicriiineiif o Con fen tlie Cause I Lost. SACH AM11NTO, -Ca I , July 21. Tlie mediation committee of the A. It. IT. bel l a meeting this evening and unanimously voted to declare the strLke off unconditionally. They seat a short notice to that effect to Superintendent Fillmore. The military will probably remain two or three days yet to look after a few of the hot-heads who have been intimidating workmen. As Superintendent Fillmore hau already said that he will not treat with tinstrikers and no one will le discharged to make room for them, the position, of tho A. It. U. men Is imt promising. Tlie railway company claims to have enough men already to conduct Its business Ulld many of the strikers will not net Uu k. Just what effect this unconditional sur render will have on other parts of thJ state Is not known as the news has not yet been received by other lodge?) of the A. 11. XL In Oakland there Is every prospect that the striker wUI weaken now that their stronghold at Hacramonto is gone. When Oakland gives up the fight, as It will probably within the next twenty-four hours, tla Pdrlke In (aallfornla will be a thling of the- past. The action of the strikers 1n Sacramento was taought fllout by a committee of citizens, who showed them their cause whs now hopeless and persuaded them to try und get back while there was yet a chance. Last Thursday Superintendent Fillmore met a comniiittee of ktrlkera and promised that if the strike was declared off unconditionally all the strikers except those who had taken an actlv part In the destruction f property, topping of trains und Intimidation of the men would be taken luck into the employ of the company. It Is believed PUlmore will keep this promise, for, although tho railway company pr ot'esses to be abhi to run the road without the aid of the Btrikcrs, the places of the o:d men have been In many canes filled by new men, and t Tie mad is not being operated In as satisfactory a manner an before the strike. Tonight the railway olllelaU ay all their trains are running. The evening overland train via Ogden was the lut to be reported. The train was tent out on schedule time tonight. A military guard still escorts express trains. The soldiers have been Instructed not to hesitate at shooting In the event of attempted Interference with trains. A striker who attempted to cut an air 1rake In West Berkeley today is reported to have been shot and badly wounded. Despite the assertions of the strikers to the contrary, the railway managers say large numbers of the A. It. LT. men are returning to work. The position of the railway cocnjjjiy
I was explained by the following letter
from Mr. Towne, Issued tonight to a committee from Sacramento: Gentlemen Your committee Is at liberty to say the strike is dec'ared oft. our company wl'd employ In addition to those no-w In our service and a few who are coming to us under engagement, such men as we may need in our train and other service who have not durlm? the strike Wilfully j damaged railway property or forcibly preI vented our employes from performing their j usual regular duties, each to be consid ered separately ana upon inniviauai application and to b disposed of aeeortling to the merits of the applicant. The company will be careful no individual suffers wrong or injustice at our hands. Heyond this the men must trust to tlie leniency of the company. Your truly, A. N. TOWXF. Seeond Vice-Profddent and General Manager. SAN FRANCISCO. July 22. The Oakland and San Francisco lodges of the A. K. U. decline to consider the strike off, and announce they will stand firm. This course was determined by unanimous vote at special meetings held last night. Members of these branches of the union erntend that President Debs cannot call the strike off without the consent of twothirds of the local unions. They deny that there are any deflections in their ranks and say that the action Of Sacramento strikers In capitulating wms caused by the weakening of only a few imbers. Superintendent Fillmore was asked If there was anything to be added to the notice received by him from the A. Ii. U. committee declaring th strike off. "Nothing," he replied, "except to emphasize the fact that the surrender is unconditional. We have made no promises and will take back only such men as we have places for and whose services we are willing to accept. I do not know as there Is anything more I can say on the subject. The railway union took this actions of its own free will without solicitation on our part, as the strike has been off with us for some days pa.t." llrnrfl ot .nll. LOS AXGI1LKS, Cal., July 21.-Thc long expected decision In Conductor Heartt's case was handed down by Judge Ross in tlie fed oral court today. Heartt was adjudged not guilty of contempt 'f court In disobeying the injunction. Judge Ilo.s found that the muter of resignation after he was ordered to go to work was immaterial anil that the refusal to go to work after being asked to take a train out was part and panel of one transaction, and that Heartt w.ts not acting In Lad faith when he put on his uniform and went down to the depot to take out a train. He said the opprobrium that comes from ldng a "scab" was what deterred Heartt from taking out a train. . A THICK I1V A STIIIKKR. MUkourl Pacific Ha ot Dojcotlcd In- A. it. r. ST. LOUIS, July 21.

All the certificates but the one in question bore no reference- to the A. It. IT. They were all signed nt once, the exceptional one not being read by Mr. Jones, who supposed thick all nlfk When signed an effort was im mediately made to take advantage of the occurrence, but prompt disavowal has prevented the invoking of the law as the strikers threatened.

Appeal in I he Trn clini? Public. CHIC-AHO, July 22. Messrs. Debs, Howard, Keliher nn l Hogers, the American railway union oflkials, today Issued an address to the public, thy substance of which is as follows: "Headqunrti r America Railway Union, Cook County Jail. "CHICAGO. July 22. 'Hi. "To the Anvrl 'in Public It is almost universally ?ouceled that the Pullmin company, through the oft repeated reduction of wages, excessive rents and many other causes, lias grievously wronged its employes, and whatever may be said about the great railway strike, which resulted in consequence of stich grievances, th" arbitrary refusal of said Pullman company to submit to arbitration In any form (even to decide the Question If there was anything to arbitrate), is proof positive that said company bad jo faith in tlie Justice of its cause and fears the disclosures that are certain to result from an honest Investigation, und In view of the heavy loss entailed upon th country such obstinacy on the part of the Pullman comp my is deserving of the severest condemnation. "We propose that the Pullman oomnany shall be brought to Justice and Ihi.s In a way that will not iieces.-lta'c a strike with its attendant ills. "We have faith In the American people; they uphold Justice; they love fair play. And now. In the name of Justice and fair play, we appeal to tho great American public, to every good man and every Kooii woman, not to ride In a Pullman car until the Pullman company doe Justice to Its employes. Let the cars run absolutely empty No lrb-nd of labor; no friend of humanity will occupy a seat nr a berth In a Pullman car. Iet this r IIcy be Inaugurated find we will then see Ifriw long the railway companies will be bound ly tJielr contract, us they have induced the public to b-lleve, to haul llillm.an cars. "W propose to continue this fight against tho Pullman comp my through good and evil report and without regard to coiispienees until Justice shall be done. There will be no surrender. We will tiso every available and lawful moms to press the contest. It Is requested that all papers throughout the land favorabU to labor, to Justice, to humanity, copy this statement In full utid keep it stand im as long ns possible. Earnestly appealing to th gtvlt public to Aid us In this unequal contest, and relying with Implicit filth upon the final ami powerful triumph of the riaht. we suscrlhe. ourselves Very lespeetflllly your, "RUG EX Fi V. 1 IFS, President.

In regard to the appeal given by himself and his associates today Mr. Debs said this evening: "Slnco the cessation of the recent hostilities, wo have received letters from all parts of the country from persons who say that while they do not sanction violence In th Pullman fight they are with us first snd last. They say they are very much dissatisfied with Pullman's absolute refusal to entertain any proposition looking toward a settlement of the differences. ' "We are going to continue to appeal to the American people not to ride In his cars on account of this sympathy and we will see whether hauling empty cars cannot bring Mr. Pullman to time. They are now 'trying to open the shops at Pullman, but the men will not return to work that has fcwn decided, fcy them
and their places cannot be filled. We are constantly receiving telegrams from all parts of the country", stating that the men are still out and determined to stay out until the strike is declared off. In this city the switchmen, with the exception of a very few, are out as solidly for us as they were the day the strike was declared. While the companies say that they are running their trains on time it Is nevertheless a fact that they are badly crippled, especially with their freight service. We are confident of ultimate success and cur organization is growing at the rate of COO members a dav."
Another Seel Ion In Resume. CHICAGO, July 22. Another section of the plant at Pullman will resume activity tomorrow, officials of the company having announced that the works of the Allen paper car wheel company, employing fifty men, would start up in full operation. It is also announced that rh Illinois Central shops at Burnsldt will begin operations tomorrow- with a force of operatives increased to nearly three hundred men. Pullman officials alo said that the force of girls in the laundry and the number of laborers employed about the works would be largely augmented. In view of these announcements and the evident Intention of the strikers, as openly expressed by them in public places about Pullman today, to make it as diflicult for the company to open these additional portions of the works as possible, it was feared by the leaders of the police and militia that there might be collisions between, strikers and those whom the company induce! to return to work. Provision was made against this possible troxible by Increasing the reserves of police at the Hyde iark, Kensington and South Chicago stations. An organizer for the A. R. F., in Pullman, safd todav that one of the next moves of the union woiiKi i iij tu inio me courts ror an injunction restraining the further presence of the militia about the Pullman works. This was in accordance, he said. wun me recent oroer issuea ry the gov ernor that tho militia should not be used to guard private property. THE OMAU.l COM'EHEACF.

Federation of I.uhor Give t."X) for the Defenae Knud. NEW YOKK, July 22. Now that the bitter railroad strike la over, the leaders of the local labor organizations are tak ing up the matter of securing the proper defense for Eugene V. Debs, president of the A. R. U. This activity Is In accord with an appeal Issued by President Omtipers of the American federation of labor, which will be published In the August number of the American Federant, the official organ of the federation. It reads as follows: "Eugene V. Debs stands as one of the most conspicuous and Interesting figures before the country. None doubt h!s honesty and fidelity to the cause of the wronged against the wrong-doers. Y'et ho Is In Jail awaiting the action of the United States courts up)n the charge of contempt of its injunction. He Is re quested to appear before four different courts, located hundreds of miles from each other, at one and the same time. He Is under indictment for conspiracy for obeying the instructions of his organisation and requesting railroad men to quit work to aid their struggling fellow-workmen. The corporal Ions have their claws ready to fasten upon the body of Debs, not simply to try and crush him, but they hope to force the men of labor into silence and slavish submission. "That purpose cannot, dare not and will not succeed. Debs must be defended, and ably defended. In his person at this tlmo he represents the rights of labor. Eugene V. Debs is a poor man; he has no money: his trial and preparation for it will require a considerable amount, and wv know that the workers of the country lve never yet boon appealed to In vain to help thev cause of Justice, humanity snd rieht.

A dispatch from Chicago stating that President Debs received a check for J1.000 from Thotnis Sliakspeare Tutker of Baltimore to aid In Debs's defense proves to be a hoax.

What Is considered by labor leaders and their counsel to t one of tho most Imjmrtant legal lnittb in the nation's history was begun In the United StHtes circuit court today, when President Debs, Vice-President lb vard, K'-cretary Keliher und plreetor Beers of the American railway union by their attorneys, W. W. Erwin. S. S. 1 ii i gory and C. S. Dai rtov, MI.M" their answer to the contempt rule Issued by the court against them lust week and came themselves Into cmft to maku a return t the writ. The defense proposes to carry the case to the supreme court of the United States in the event of an adverse deelelon here, and If defeated there appeal through congress to the people. The policy of the defense will be to question the il-ht and power of the court to issue Injunctions like that obtained by the railway companies against Debs and his associates and then lmptiaon thoe enjoined If the Injunction be violated- It will be contended that what th court ha dono amounts to a usurpation of power not given to the federal Judiciary by ither the constitution or law. The defense will follow closely the lines of tho re 1 ort of the Roatner committee of congress, which Investigated the Injunction and contempt proceedings by Judge Jenkins. Latwir organizations throughout the country will contribute money to defray the expenses of this legal strugKle. The American federation of labor has given $1,000, other associations will fidlow and the contest will be carried to the bitter end. If the supreme court declares the injunction and contempt method to be good law, congresu will bo asked, local labor leaders by. to amend the statutes

INDIANA STATE and curb the power of the courts and every candidate for congress will be asked to pledge himself for such reform. After the reading of the Information against the prisoners by the district attorney and the hearing of the answer as read by the defendant's lawyer, Attorney Erwin moved formally that the defendants be dismissed. He also asked that tho government elect whether It would try the prisoners on the original Indictment or on the injunction. Judge Woods replied that the government would elect by going on now and Attorney Gregory began his argument In support of tlie motion to dismiss the bill. Mr. Gregory went on to argue that a.? this was a criminal proceeding an answer under oath that he was not guilty was ail the defense a person cited for criminal contempt could be called uton to make. He could Ve tried for clime only by a Jury. Proceedings of this kind should not le resorted to or permitted to take the place of tho laws of the land. The court should decide in favor of liberty. "The doctrine ()f this injunction is,' Interrupted Judgt Wood.", "that It not to be used to restrain crime. Injunctions are not issued for that purpose, yet an order may b entered to restrain no's which Involve crime. The court acted on that theory." Mr. Greg.ry, resuming, said ihf Injunction restrained the defendants from preventing the employes by threats. Intimidation, force, violence or persuasion from performing their duties or In lu ing them by threats, violence, force nr Intimidation to P ave the service of the roads. In the Injunction order th-' word persuasion was stricken out. This called out anoth-r statement from Judg Woods, who sail the court had refu.-ed to enjoin men from soliciting other men to leave their work. The question is now In the court of appeals In the Northern Paeitlc case and the court had no desire to Interfere with it. Mr. Gregory said the Injunction did not enjoin the leaders of tlie union from advi.-ing men to quit work. "The injunction." paid Judge Woods, "was a general order not to Interfere with the operation of the roads. Whether advising was an Interference is a question to be decided." The attorney contended as long as people obeyed the laws they could not be held responsible for tie lawlessness of others, lie admitted that here was violence In the recent strike and the men who commit led It wvio guilty of violating the Injunction. The people who adVised Violence were also utility, but there was not a line In the Information that the defendants either committed or ad vised any violent et.

The lla men that hl I been sweeping to ward Ilrldgeport w,re turned aside by a fhlft of the wind last night, and dur ing (he early hours of the rnorr.lng they reached a point near tlie little hamlet of Grei iibush. Tlie residents In the meantime had driven their live Mock to a place of safe ty and when It became apparent th.it the village was doomed they loaded their household effects into wagons and hurried them away. Much still remained to ; moved when the flames reached the housed. The village stood In a little clear ing In the pine blt und the stacks of hay and the dry wooden buildings proved even better food for the elements then the woods around. The villagers had been forced to flea long liefore this and are now ncamped In a clearing some miles away. In addition to the destruction of this vil lage many residences and barns In the course of the fire have been destroyed. Pimples, bolls and other humors of the bliKnl are liable to break out In the warm weather. Prevent It by taking Hood's Sai'taDarilla.
