The starvation, sickness and death among
the millers' families in Northern Illinois, is
greater than at any time in the past. The
large supplies sent through the Chicago Re
lief Committee have been exhausted and the
ieoplo are face to face with hunger. The
little ones are dying daily, and sickness is
greatiy on the increase. It is no longer a se
cret that the oierators have decided to oen
their mines with non-l'iiion men, and have
already prepare-1 to cull upon tho slierillM
and the Governor for armed olllcers and sol
diers to hold their locked-out miners in
check. It is impossible to predict what the

there has been one death, that of Daniel

The cause of the epidemic is not known. It

this theory was overthrown w hen it was
found out that persons who had used othel

Ex Judge Iavid 8. Terry was klllcu at
Lathrop, California, on Wednesday.
On the arrival of the Southern overland

J. Field and Deputy United States Marshal
David Nagle walked Into the dining room of
the defs it hotel for breakfast and sat down
side by side.

as soon as she urn! left the dining room, I
Judge Terry approached Justice Field and, '
stooping over him, slapped his face.
At this juncturo Deputy Marshal Nnglo
Broso from his seat and shot Judge Terry
through tho heart. As hu was falling the
Deputy Marshal shot again, but missed him,
the bullet going through the lloor. Both
shots were fired in quick succession.
During this time Judge Field and Deputy
Marshal Naglo retreatej to nslccping car,
where they were securely lockod within.
Itefore the train pulled out Constable
Walker entered the sleeper and was carried

perform it.
Previous to the entrance of Constable
Walker into the sleeper .Sheriff Purvis and
Deputy of Stanislaus County bad already
taken charge of Deputy United States Mar

The tragedy is tho outgrowth oftho bitter
struggle made by Sarah Althea Hill for Sen

counsel for the woman, who later became
bis wife, and at one time was i in prisoned for
contempt of Court. Mrs. Terry has frequent

Moinlav ni;'ht four lircs oicurred within u
short time, i.ud the boldness shown in tho
work is startling. At 10 o'clock the store
Moms and tin shop of J. M. Ives fc Co. were
discovered to be on tire. Some one had en
tered the budding by a rear window, and
oily waste, taken from cars in the neighbor
ing railway yard, had been placed between
the walls. Papers in a private desk had also
been tired, and there was oil found in ilirl'cr
ent parts of tl.c place. Every gas jet bud
been turned on full ton e. A largo tire wus
prevented only by tho timely discovery.
A short time after, whde tlie two compan

ijuartcrs on Ives street, u large crowd if
Jsjoplo wutching them, lire was discovered
not Jo feet away and in view of the firemen.
It was at tho rear of the Danbury House,
also set on tiro on Saturday night.
An hour later the factory of llyron Dexter,
one of the largest manufacturers of hats in
the city, was found in tl.tme mid tho build
ings and their contents, including thousand!
of finished and unfinished hats for the New
York trade, were totally destroyed. Tho
City gas works a Ijoining had a narrow esca
und the largo tanks were in great danger of
exploding. Mr. Dexter, on seeing the factory
ulire, wus suddenly seized with a lit ol insan

now improving. The loss on the factory is
about in,'."); Insurance Ci'i.mjo. A little
later a man was seen touching a match to a
burn u short distance from the factory, but
he escaped before assistance could be sum
moned. William Carey, the watchman at Dexter's,
was arrested and held landing an investiga

At Pittston John Tates struck Thomn
Snell on the temple, killing him instantly.
At the same place Charles Fitzgerald was
stabbed twice in the abdomen, and died. Ed

At Plymouth Michael Mihlskiuski stabbed
Joe I-edoucheihi, inflicting a fatal wound.
ltov. Abraui Martin died near Ueartown,
Lancaster county, aged ill years. He was

While on her way in a prisoner she repeat

will resort to every honorable meuns to do

Ti'xah Catti.k Fkvkh. Texas cattle fevei
bus made its appearance in St. Louis, anil
there appears to be u conspiracy to prevent
tho discovery of tho fact. A number of
milch cows have died from the fever, and
there is some alarm a:i to the city's milk
supply. Health Commissioner Dudley de
nies tho existence of the fever, while the
dairy inspector does not credit it. Cuttlc

of prices lias tiot materially changed, and
railroad earnings continue gisl, though all
controversies have not as yet been cleared
away.
Telegraphic rcjiorts from interior cities all
Bgree that the crops prosix-cts are excellent,
and that tho banks are as yet a i ply suppli

Is slowly increasing, and lenders are a little
more cautious at some (mints.
The Treasury bus obtained but few bonds

In tkc principal markets. The impression
among bankers, however, Is that most of the

in the belief that the Treasury will be obliged
to raise its price. The capacity of iron fur

Notwithstanding this increase for the

about 2 cents, with no visible reason. Pork
products are generally lower, and cotton un
changed for spot, with print cloths wealfc at
$3N7. An advuncein some styles of cotton

latter threatening death to the first person
who does sign and as a consequence no one
has yet signed, and the Commissioners have

a conflict. The opponents are, the runner
states, fully armed witli Winchester rifles,
and have gone so far as to threaten the white
on the reserve. The Commissioners aro
safely lodgsl at Sim Weavers, a ranch near
the old trading ost. The objecting Indians
are bitter because they have not been paid
damage to their rice fields from water from
the Washburn dams, sojcalled. Just before
