STATE TAKES A HAND. Sends a Force of Troops to Quiet Things in Cleveland. Strikers sal Their Sympathisers Continue Their Rlotons Proceedings —Young Mid Killed by ■ ■nlon Conductor. Cleveland, 0., July 25.—Monday failed to bring any relief to the strike situation, which is regarded as serious. The state board of arbitration has practically abandoned its efforts to conciliate the'strikers and their former employers. The resentment of the conductors and motormen who quit work and the more turbulent spirit of their sympathizers is held in check to a degree by tlie presence of the police and the militia, members of which ride in the cars or are held in readiness at the barns and terminals. Yonth Killed. Small riots occurred during the day, but with one exception they were without serious results. In the death of Henry Cornweit, slain by a bullet fired by Ralph P. Hawley, a conductor on the Broadway line, is recorded the first fatality of the strike. Shortly after noon Hawley’s car approached Orange street and was beset by a crowd of men and boys. Cornweit, the 19-year-old son of n butcher, was astride a horse and rode to the side of the car, keeping pace -with it fonantre dfctance. Various storks are told as to what passed between the conductor and the hoy, but the moblvas suddenly called to its senses by the sight of Hawley, who jumped to the street and started in pursuit of Cornweit. The latter, followed closely by his pursuer, turned up Perry ktreet. At Woodland avenue, the latter pulled his revolver and fired. His victim fell, fatally wounded with a ghastly wound in the letft temple, and died soon after being removed to the hospital. The crowd which, before the incident, had been so violent, was awed by the, seriousness of the affair, and permitted The ebnductor to walk back to his car. He Was arrested and taken to the station, where a charge of murder was entered against him. Wbtn the car returned in charge of another man and laden with poliee, thousands of people were crowded round the fatal spot. The track was blockaded, and the stalled cars bombarded with stones, pieces of brick and sticks of wood. "The police managed, by dint of using their clubs, to clear the way after a delay of about half an hour. With the exception of the Mayfield suburban, all the lines of the Big Consolidated were in operation Monday, although their movements were necessarily tampered somewhat. Troops Under Arms. < The adjutant general Monday evening informed Mayor Farley that the militia companies at * Youngstown, Geneva, Berea, Warren and Norwalk, towns near this city, had been officially notified to hold themselves in readiness to answer the call of the mayor should the situation get beyond the control of the present force. The various companies of the Fourth, Sixth and Eighth regiments, to the number of 800 men, have also been ordered to prepare for a sudden summons. The state authorities regard the situation as very serious. Ad jt. Gen. Axline, who was commander of the Tenth Ohio volunteer infantry during the Spanish war, will go to Cleveland and take command of the troops in person, in case the other regiments are needed. The disorganized condition of the national guard makes the work somewhat confusing. There are eight companies already on duty in Cleveland. Another Car Wrecked. Rioting broke out afresh here Monday night, and a second attempt to wreck a ear was made. A Pearl street ear, speeding south near Holmden avenue, carrying beside the motormun and conductor, a guard, successfully ran a gauntlet of missiles thrown from the roofs ofhouses, only to run into a can of nitroglycerin, which exploded with terrific force. The rear platform was torn off and the floor-igg wrenched* from its fastenings. The crew was not injured, but emerged from the shattered ruin with their pistdls’drawn, and began tiring at what they thought was a couple of men crouching as if to hide themselves behind a small bill board. The explosion was a signal, for renewing the nttnek from the house tops and alleys. Troop A, hurrying on horseback to the scene, was bombarded with giant firecrackers. One of these exploded with such force that the mount of one of the troopers was knocked over, in his fall carrying with him two other horses and their riders. Several arrests were mnde. Pistol shots were frequently heard, and one man was slightly wounded in the arm, it is said. Up to a late hour reports, more or less vague, of blockades and shooting floated about town, but failed of confirmation.

More Troon* Colled. A special to the Leader from Columbus says: Adjt. Gen. Axline shortly after midnight received the following message: “Send regiment at once.” ,Thc Columbus regiment was at once ordered to assemble, and should reach "Cleveland early this (Tuesday) morning.

Ahead of th* Times mad Leading the Futsre— I The Meat Wonderful and Realistic Exhibition of Dewey’, Victory at Manila. Wabash avenue, just’south of the Auditorium, Chicago, an _ Electio-cyclorama is completely revolutionizing war productions and navy scenes, in an immense round build" isg eonstructed'fenhe purpose in the very heart of the city. The magnitude of this undertaking can be better measured from the following facts: It required a corps of fifty of the most finished artists in the world 120 days and nights to create the painting alone. If the immense scene were stretched out twenty feet high, it would be full one mile long. The cloth, painting and canvas and frame for holding same weighs over 100,000 pounds; in addition to that there were 60,000 pounds of white lead used by the artists on this great scene, besides several thousand pounds of other materials in the way of co.oring, etc. It was necessary toerect special track with derrick cars tohang the immense canvas ready for the artist’s brush. It cost a fortune alone for the cable and telegrams to procure a positively correct statement on each point for - the artists. The immense picture slone represents an outlay of over $50,000, every detail of the picture being absolutely correct. It requires a special electric light plant of over 100 horse power, and over 2,000 incandescent lights of different sizes are used ia the illumination and electrical effects. It. employs a trained force of fifty electricians, expert and professional people, aided by a small army of gun-firers, lecturers, etc., to. properly conduct aud give exhibitions. The Battleship Olympia, on which the audience stands and views the entire scene, weighs over 200,000 pounds. There is daily consumed in the battle between the fleets and forts and in the exploding mines as much ammunition as was consumed by the U. S. cruiser Philadelphia in bombarding Samoa. The electrical effects are produced by specially constructed mechanism, that has no duplicate in the world. It is original with, and tlm entire_creation of theThe sunset before victory, the American forts in the storm and the night signalingsurpass all previous and combined efforts in. thrilling realism.
