Chicago, July 8
THE ieat of war in the great rail
road strike was transferred today
to Hammond, Ind., juat across
the border line and whor. from
an early hour, mob violence reignei
supreinv. Two companies of regulars
were di?p'cbed to the scene. Lite
tbis afternoon there was a pitched
lattle between the regular and the
taoh. Tbis is the list of casualties:
Charles Flkiscuer, carpenter, married.
ned 35, a resident ot Hammond killad
instantly.
W. H. Campbell a shot in right thigh
probably fatal.
Victor, Keitor, also of Hau.mond, shot in
tbe knee, amputation of leg necessary,
condition critical.
Miss Annie Fleming, of East Chicago,
bullet wou id above knee, not seriouv
rKown man, shot in leg, amputation
probably necessary.
Tbe trouble commenced at daylight
v hen a mob which had been in tbe
r.ulghrorhood since the evening before,
tverturned fifteen freight ears on tht
Chicago aud Culnmet Terminal rail
load, between Hammond and Etst Chi
cago. Four Pullmans were set on fir
and badly scorched.
Shortly after daybreak the north
leuud train on the Monon road reach
ed the city. It was urrouudd by a
crowd of striktrf, boys aud women
&ad ' tbe engineer and fireman were
f er emptorily ordered to get down from
tit eab and they were quick to obey.
One of tbe strikers then took possession
t f the engine and tbe train wus side
tracked, A telegram wus sent to Chi
onto asking for military assistance to
f t the t'rarrt out. At 11.30 Company
D, of tbe Fifteenth regiment, thirty
:ve strong, arrived in two coaches.
Tbe regulars disembarked at the
cepot and marched to tbe side track
iv be r? the Monon train was stationed.
The mob fell back on tbe approach of
tie military, but hooted and jeered and
the scene was a veritable bedlam. .One
knit of tbe campany took up its position
i front of tbe engine aud tbe other
bntftu tbe rear and preparations were
inauJ to move tbe train. The crowd
now nearly 3,000 strong aud real
is!ia tbe fast that reinforcements were
-tsaary, a detail was' sent to the talc
fraph c7,e with instructions to wire
t j Chicago . ir more trm.pi.
lb tbe tueautiue Mjor Reilly ord
ered Captalo Hariz to dear the tracks
te tbe sidewalks with fixed bayonets.
The regular advanced, the mob re
treated and or tbe time beiug was
LU at bay.
Shortly before 1 o'clock a train of
empty car was lUrted from tbe yards,
tie way being clearstt by tbe soldiers,
-be mob contented itself with jeer
ing and invocations. Temporary
quiet was secured while Sheriff
Fredericks read a telegram
which had jnst been received from
Governor Matthews conveyed advioj
that a large force of state troops would
reach Hammond tonight (with instruc
tions not ouly to muiutaia law and or
der at all hazards, bat to co-operate
with tbe federal troops. The dispatch
bad it that tbe whole fere ot the state
would be sent to the seene If neoessarv.
The mob listened to tbe reading of tbV
dispateh iu silence, but when thesherUT
bad concluded it (sent up such a yell ot
eVfianee as might be expected to
emanate only from an army of red
kin on the plaias. The mob went to
tie adjacent prairie ou either (id of
tbe track for while, but becoming
emboldened by the apparent Inactivity
of tbe military cloud upon the rails
ouly to be repulsed. Tbis condition or
atfairs continued intermittently until
4 o'clock, when tbe train that biixt
trougbt tbe second detachment of
rtgular wa run into the Monon
yards. Just as it was brought to a.
i.andstill several box cars were dumped
oa tbe track a block and a half to the
fcertb. About tbe same tuxie the Monon
suall train came in from the south,
rrylng mail matter.
A company of regulars was ordered
t tbe State line, but bad hardly passed
before tbe mob assembled at the State
ireet crouing, when reck was
thrown around a Pullman car standing
on a tide truck a few yards north,
vritb tbe evldebt intention of throwing
it pver on tbe main track and prevent
in the further passage of the train.
Her war regulars on tb engine, regu
lars o tbe roof and regulars' at the ear
wtndowe'all of tbein waiting for just
tacb n Condition as was now, imminent.
Au officer on th locomotive gave the
word, and toward west and to toward
ast volley was poured from epgine,
roofs aud windows. Some of the bal
lets went overhead, many more plowed
tbe grouod, a few took effict. With
out waiting for further orders the reg
ulars mad for solid earth and witti '
bayonets fixod made a dash for the
mob ou both sides of tb trsok.
Tbis mauquv re, however, was hardly
necessary. Obscured by the amok tb
mob bad taken to it bels like fright
ened geesr. Not a few threw tbetu
elves Headlong on tbe prairie where
they laid fl tt.so thoroughly Reared that
it Wasi a matter ot imli(Trnra in
rtbem whether tbe soldiers trampled
mem uown iu in cuivrg or nqt
Miss Fleming, who was noteven a
spectator of tbe melee, being simply in
the act of crossing tbe tracks after a
visit to a neighbor's house, .fainted
when bot, was picked up by some of
the bystaudsr and carried to the
nearest bouse iu the vicinity.
Tbe shedding of blood was in obdi
euce to orders issued by General Mi If 8
to shoot any persou caujrM in the act
of blocking the highway of inter-state
commerce or of destroying railroad
property used in the carriage of United
States mails.
Fleischer was fen innocent victim.
He bad gone to the tracks simply to
find and take home his sou whom he
bad been told was looking on in th
outskirts of tbe mob. Indis
criminate firing of tb regulars
created intent rage and excite
ment. Huudreds of the mob
rutbed to their homes and returned to
the scene with revolvers and shot guns,
or filling tbe air with oaths and impre
cations, declared their Intention of kill
ing every ixmu wearing au army uui
form. In tbe uieau time a dead lino
bud been thrown out. Mayor Ruilly
mounted a box car and pleaded with
and prayed to tba crowd to be calm
audeommit no further Violence. Tbe
crowd wa unwilllug to respond to the
advice tbe regulars w.re re tutored by
three companies that ram in from
Chicago on a special train. Overawed
by tbe display of military turce the
mob gradually thinned out aud at mid
night tbe street of the town had re
sumed their uorm tl aspect
L.vte this evening tuere was some
msKe shooting. Company X) wat or
dered down the Monon tracks to get
out two Pullman cars for conuectiou
with tbe train expected frern tb south.
Just ns they approached the water
tank, E C. Weeks, a plumber was id
the act of turning the water out
of the stand pipes which are
used to fill the engines. Fire was
at once opened by the soldiers, and
Weeks, with the Intention of fooling
tbe regulars, dropped into the high
grass at the side of tbe tracks as though
be bad been shot. The first rank of
the company, however, closed about
bim and Gndiu; bim unhurt, placed
him under arrest.
Company B returned to Chicago
after lue shooting ou their own traiu,
If they ha 1 not done so an attempt
would bav. been made to serve war
rants for murder upon them, bucb
warrants were sworn cut before a jus
tice when tbe tacts of tbe shooting
were known, but the soldiers got
away before any of the local police
could execute the warrants.
AU the electric street ear employes
agreed tonight unanimously to join
tue strike when called on to do so,
A maes meeting of indignant citizens
was held tonight to protest against the
Shooting.

STRIKERS ALREADY STARVING.
Thcutar.di of Them Are Now Clamoring
tor Promised Rllf.
Chicago. July 8 Starvation ac
tually exists among thousands of rail
way men throughout tb west and
northwest who bav been drawn into
tbis "sympathy" movement. Tele
grams nre pouring into tb hadquur
Urn at Unlicti's ball asking for tbe as
sistant) which wat promised when the
tntu quit work. As to tne couditioa of
the strikers on the various western
roads, if reports are to be credited, it
is bard indeed. Presiileut Debs laid
yesturdy that $100,000 had been ruisnd
by popular Butucripilou in California
for starving strikers on the Pacific
coast. Strenuous endeavors are being
mud to secure a large fuud for tbe
relief of the men who stopped work to
help tbe came of tbe American Rail
way Onion.
On the Northern and Southern Paci
fic ro.ids, tb SautaFe aud. other west
ern lines, where the tie up Was most
easily tffected, and where the men have
bten out th longest, the aallvriug U
greatest, aud the appeals are most
urgent. Tbe condition of thousands of
the families of strikers Is already des
perate, although the tie-up is only a
week old. C.iurirts of ihgraut viola
tion of help which were mad acrd
conditions of tbe strike are beiug
lo.!ged against headquarters by the
strikers at a distant.
Tbe gene'ral public bas yet only a
faint conception of the number of men
Involve! in the strike. The member
ship of the A'msrican Railway union is
125,000. and three-dUh of th total are
out. Of the 73,000 out, more than half
are without funds for a week's susten
ance, aud runny thousand are now in
immediate want
Chairman St. John, of the Railway
Managers' association, said: "There
baa, never been the slightest inclination
on the part of the rttilro.id companies
to wave r in this contest. We stand
exactly where we stoi'd liac the be
ginning of tbit strike.aud where wa will
stand to the end, W are supported iu
our stund by tbe railroad managers all
over tbe United States. It it uo time
for weakness of policy. W are com
pelled to make tbis uiht by the unrea
sonableness ot the strikers. Tbe fight
must be won, regardless of its conse
quences to any siugle railroad. There
will be no weakeuing on tbe part of
tbis association, aud all reports to tbe
contrary are u, 'eading.
Deb decided on another of bis
master strokes to . ow the people of
Chicago hi -power. Todty he sent
word to th labor organizations on the
West, North, and South bid street
railways and on tb elevated roads to
be in- readiness to walk vat on Monday
night. By tying up the city's means of
transit be xpeuitf-(o arouss ttie svHi
pathy of the public amlt fore public
opinion. Tile, street railway managers
do not seem to be seriously alarmed at
tbe protptcls. It Is their belief that
tbe majority of tbe men iu their em
ployment will refuse to quit work; All
tb compauies bav hundreds of men ou
their Waiting lists, aud would at once
attempt to ruu their curs with new
men.'

Zudic. Hungarian, laborer, aged 20,

about body, canuot recover; George
Vin Fausen, leg broken and badly
bruised, seriously, but not fatally in
jured. HOW IT OCCURRBD.
The gang of men under tb charge
of Foreman Van Fausen bed gone Into
the mine early in the morning to do,
some timbefiug in a tunnel, yhre a
slight tqueez was noticeable. The
roof bad been thoroughly testtd aud
was thought to be perfeotly.safe. Dur
ing tbe oioruitig there were no indica
tions of tbe iquvezt extending. Tbe
roof and pillars were chipping slight
ly, but tbe workiugs were quieter than
they had b;ea for some dty.
The uieu were to have quit work at
noon and gone outside for -dinner, but
when their time was up they were just
standing the last timber and decided to
fiuish the job so It would not be neces
sary to return to tb place. The five
were directly in the face uf tha work
ings, liftlug the beavy prop and Van
Fausen was standiuir a few feet be
biud them directing the placing of the
timber. It was just being put in posi
tion when tb tail occurred. There
was not tbe slightest warning. A mass
of coal fell with u rush anil tbe five
men were immediately burried out of
tight and bearing. Vau Fausen was
ou the extreme edge ot tho fall aud
was hurled from uuder it by tbe con
cuskIou, but not quite far enough, at
his left leg was caught under a lunas
of coal and broken, while be Was badly
'bruised by flying pieces.
BRAVE K-SCU-RS AT WORK.
..Men in otber parts ot tbe mine at
once mailed, to the scene and tbe work
of rescue was commenced. Van Fausen
was quickly extricated and taken to
tbe surface. He described before leav
ing tbe mine just where the other men
were standing and the rescuers sst' to
work with a will ll get out tbe bodies,
for it was thought none would be,
alive. After working tor about three
hours groans Were henfij, and tue men
redoubled their efforts and ooo partly
uucovered Anthony Znirzwiok. He
was still alive, but unconscious. He
was horribly crushed, bis bead .being a
mass of brokeu bone and torn lLb.
ile died soon afterward.
Abont an hour afterward the body ot
Evau Adam was recovered. He had
leeuso fearful cruibed agaiust th
side of the tunnel' Uat- his Mbody wat
almost fist. When th fall occurred
bo bad been standing ready to drive in
a wedge ot wood between the prop aud
the roof, When fouud the wedge and
hammer were still in bla band, so his
death must have been instantaneous.
Shortly afterward tb bodies of
Georg Hauuey and Jo SVatheliez
were recovered ; tiles men bad fallen
uuder tb prop which they bud bo en
lifiing, which tell agaiust th side and
partly protected them. Tbo masses of
coal bad, however, closed them in so
tightly that they were badly crushed
by its weight and both were so seri
ously injured that they could not re
cover, They were taken out with
great difficulty and were carried to the
surface as soon as possible.
- It was nearly ft olt-lock before tbe
last man, John Zudic, was taken out.
He was standing agaiust the rib and
was paekid in tight by tbe debris. He
would probably have escaped with hi
life had not large pUo of coal struck
hi head, fracturing bit skull. lis was
unconscious when fouud.
Crowds of people gathered about th
mouth of th slop .when the hews of
the accidvut spread through tb town
and remained there until the last man
was taken out.
EVENTIDE PRAISE SERVICE.
ft Was Hld at tb Elm Park Charoh
Lett Evening.
The Elm. Park church was crowded

pacity. Tbe rccular sermon wa
omitted, and an "Eventide Praise Ser

Pcofetfot Carter had arranged a, very
fine programme, Which was faultlessly
rendered by tb superb cbotr of th
church, composed of Mrs. K ite Cros-sin-O'Brien,
soprano: Mil Draager,
contralto; Alfred Wooler, tenor, and
Richard Thomas, basso.
During tbe reading or tbe Scripture
the choir rendered tb' bymn "Nearer
My Ood to Tb" tathe tune of 'Robin
Adair," with a most beautiful efieet.
Mrs. CTBrien' Voice bas.lostnon ot it

Mitt Dresser. Who- it a reoeift and
valuable acquisition to the chqir.: bas aJ
remarkably nue Toiee, -.very oat on

entitled "O. TUou Afll.cUd." from tbe
dratorio, "St. Peter," und the other by
request, that old but beautiful Scotch
hymn, "I Am Far fra My Hiine."
which sb sang most beautifully and
held tbe audituc almost spellbound.
Mr. Wooler and Mr. ThomaB did
equally well, Mr. 'noma iu his solo,
"If Laws Severe, ' gave a magnifi
cent exhibition of the Wuuderful scope
aud richness of hit voio.
As an offertori Mr. Carter played
Lt'maigre'a ''Cantabile." It was a beau
tiful seleotion and was rendered witb
Mr. Carter's usual skill and grace.
The programme closed with a quar
tette, "Give Thy Blessing," arranged
from "Flowtow." The service Was
most delightful throughout and it is
tbe purpose of th pastor, Rev. Dr.

fDfcialto th Scranton Tribune.
Arciibald, July 8. Constable Wil
liam Dougber, of the Third ward of
Archhald, was shot this afternoon
while attempting to arrest a young
man named Frank Morrow ef that
place.
Morrow was wanted for his conu
tion with a burglary at the Ontario
and Western depot at Archhald a few
month's ago. He Aid shortly after tbe

mot him at tbe home ot bis brother-in-law,
aodattempted to place bim under
arrett. A sci.fil took ;pluce during
which several snots Were fired by tbe
constables and Morrow and Dougher
were shot in th, right side.
Tbe ball struck a leather covered
book in the constable's pocket and
spent considerable ot its force before It
entered bis body,. It then came in con
tact witb one of bis ribs and changed
its inward course. Dr. Van Doren was
immediately summoned and probed for
tbe ball, bat without susess. Mr.
Dougher was taken to bit home soon
after tbe shooting and at this writing
be is r-stin, easily. It is bard to tell
what th resblt of the shooting will be.
There are several versions as to the
manaer in which th shooting oc
curred, Oao is that Morrow shot
first and that tbe ball, from his revolver
struck Dougher. Another It that one
of tbe Jermyn constables sbot him aud
still another is that the revolver whicti
Dougher carried' was accidentally dis
charged while he win taking it out of
his pock. Owin to th' great excite
ment which prevailed it i bard to tell
which is the most plausible version.
Morrow fl-d utter tbe shooting and
has not yet beeu captured.

Mr. Paul was a farmer'! widow. Sbe

W. Harrison, an ex-minister of the
Methodist church, who about that time

wa a peculiar and powerful one, Sbe
signed over all ber property, real and
personal, worth several' thousand dol
lars, to tbe x minister, and it wa
afterwards developed that for tbis sbe
had received no recompense whatever.
One Jacob Everly, having a claim
against Mrs. Paul, secured a sheriff'
iuterpleader to determine tbe owner
ship of tbe property, Harrison's title
was annulled and pronouuetd a fraud.
He appealed to tbe supreme eourt

swearing that be (Harrison) bad paid
money to ber for the bonce and farm

field near tbe bouse picking berries.

the woman returned to tbe bouse. Har

lacked, burst it in and entered
Toward evening be summoned neigh
bors, who found Mrs. Paul in bed and
uncouacious, For about tweuty-fonr
hours he refused to permit tbe pople
to help ber. Then Dr. Rodman, of
Hawley, was summrned, to whom
'Harrison said Mrs. Paul bad swal
lowed a teaspoonful ot morphine. At
0 o'clock Thursday night sbe died.
Harrison produced a paper written
in tbe German language and signed by
Mrs. Paul saying ab did dot take her
owu life and that Harrison bad not ta
ken it. Nevertheless, a jury found
a verdict that Mrs. Paul had died
by morphine taken by herself con
trary to ber will. Tbe jury's verdict
i based on the belief tnat Harrison
had absolute control over 'the woman
and compelled her to poison herself.
