(Chicago, July 7. Under the cover of
darkness General Mile* Thursday night
bejjan liiarihin'jf the I nited States soldiers
in Chicago and its vicinity on the lake
frouut. A comnisn-ier «>f Federal
troops said yesterday: "If the threat
of Debs to call out the allied trades of
the laboring men of Chicago is carried
out it is feared there will he rioting and
destruction of property in the city. We
are here to prevent it if possible, but to
stop it in any event."
General Miles said today that the
mobilization of Federal troops on the
lake front was prompted by a belief
that their presence near the business
quarter of the city was necessary. The
idea was to forestall a concerted move-
ment on the part of the strikers against
prominent downtown buildings.
Content a of C r Destroyed.
Chicago, July 7.—Dressed meat, po-
tatoes and flour, lay scattered over the
prairie in the vicinity of Forty-filth
street aud the Wabash track.
Thursday night a mob of 1000 maraud-
ers marched down the track* t<> where a
train of 18 cars of provisions and dressed
meat lay side tracked. The cars were
torn open and the contents carried away.
What was not confiscated was dumped
out of the cars and thrown about the
tracks before a detachment of 20 officers
could reach th** scene of devastation and
disperse th« crowd. The stock was
gathered up as well as possible and a
guard stationed at the tracks for the
night.
Two Striker* KllletL
Chicago, Jul) 7.—A mob of 500
strikers gathered yesterday at Kensing-
ton, on the Illinois Central road, and
succeeded in blocking the tracks. The
police were powerless and railroad of-
ficials asked for troops to furnish pro-
tection.
United St:u *s marshals fired into the
mob and as far as can be learned two
men are dead.
This caused greater effort of the
strikers to carry their depredation as far
as possible, and were joined by others
Until the mob extended one and a half
miles along the track.
The situation is serious and a conflict
loon to come unless the mob can be
persuaded to desist.
General Wheeler < l the stare militia
has received an order from Governor
Air geld to turn out the Third brigade.
This include- three regiments. First,
Second and Seventh. Just where they

but it is supposed th-y are t go to Ken-

Chicago. July T. The attempt to

much trouble Thursday was resumed
Friday morning.
Part of the mob charged a gang of
workmen engaged in icing meat cars at
Forty-fifth street under the supervision
of Alderman Carey. He showed the
men a permit from Debs allowing such
work to be done and tlie rioters left.

New Orleans, July 7.- Two Chicag*
agitators, Hurley and Harrison, sent
here bv Piesideut Delw to increase the
local membership of the American Bail-
way union and presumably to tie up the
roads here, succeeded in gathering to-
gether a large meeting of railway em-
ployes Thursday night. After being in ses-
sion until an early hour Friday morning
they decided to call n strike ou the Illi-
nois Central, to go into effect at noon
yesterday,
During the progress of the meeting
M. J. .Sperry, general chairman and di-
rector of the board of Locomotive Fire-
men. made his appearance, and it is
thought the result of the meeting was
largely due to his influence.
Many local labor organizations were
represented and all expressed their sym-
pathy with and willingness to partici-
pate in a general strike if necessary to
win the Pullman fight.

New Ori.k.ans, July7.—The Illinois
Central switchmen struck at 1 o'clock
yesterday. Nevertheless the road suc-
ceeded a short time afterwards in start-
ing a banana train north.
A meeting took place at Goulds
boro yesterday to consider tlie question
of tieing up the Texas and Pacific. It
is also rumored that the Southern Pacific
men will be asked to strike.
Warrants have been issued by the
United States court and placed in the

Chicago, July 7.—One of the most
serious aspects of the strike from a
standpoint of city officials is that horses
are dying in the city at the rate of 75 to
100 per day, and there is absolutely no
way of removing them from the city.

l ixeiteineiit si mi Disorder.
Chicago, July 7.—The sun went
down Thursday on by far the most tur
hulent and critical day thus far iu the
unparalleled railroad strike and boy
cott. When it opened there was a gen
eral feeling that its passage would go
far toward clearing the atmosphere,
indeed it did not practically lift the em
bargo oil commerce which has held the
city in its grasp for the past week. That
expectation was chiefly based on the
presence of Federal troops in the most
dangerous districts.
Aside from the immediate neighbor
hood where the troops were operating
there was plenty of excitement and dis
order. Great mobs gathered ou the Lake
Shore, Rock Island. Alton and West
ern Indiana tracks and proceeded to
obstruct them by overturning boxcars
breaking switches, and .the like. At
one point they set fire to a switch tow
and an interlocking switch box, though
the flames were extinguished before ser
otis damage was done.
Iu two instances there was bloodshed
On the Western Indiana tracks a hard
pressed special policeman fired at his
pursuers, wounding a striker in the leg
On the Lake Shore road an official of
that company in charge of a train whic
he was endeavoring to force through
emptied his revolver point blank into
into the mass about liiin, wounding twi
or three, it is believed. He was saved
from the fury of the mob by his
gineer, who put on steam and ran back
to the point of starting.

natives of that state, nt which their an-
cestors were settlers.
In ! H:t-> lie reinov d with his parents
to the southwest portion of the state,
which was at that time an unsettled
country. Having lost his father two
ears afterward, his training devolved
solely upon his mother. After her death,
which occurred when lie was 14 years
of age, he resided on a farm with a rela-
tive until he was 17 years old, during
which time he performed labor through
the summer and attended the country
schools in the autumn aud winter.

ville and graduated March, ix.">(i. with
degree of bachelor of laws. In April

In Oct. 185(1, he emigrated to Texas
and was admitted to the bar of this state
at La Orange, where he resided until the
fall of 1857, and then moved further

the Eighteenth judicial dis;r.< . an-1 was
re-elected to the same ulli in isito and
served to the end of the term for which
he was elected.
He hud never taken an active part in
political affairs, though feeling a deep
interest in the great
last days of 1800
shadow upon the national horizon. He
was a staunch southerner in his views
and sentiments, and at the expiration of
his second term as district attorney,
having removed his family to Suther-
land's Springs, in Wilson county, he en-
tered the Confederate service as a pri-
vate, but was soon afterward promoted
t6 a captaincy, and remained in the
army until the close of the war.
In 18«ti he resumed the practice of law

In 1871 he removed to Victoria and
formed a copartnership with A. 11.

since to be his home.
He permitted no abstraction of his
attention from his professional labors,

plans have been formulated i ito bills
by Representatives Keifer and Tawney
Minnesota aud have been referred by the
house committee oil labor to a sub-com-
mittee of five, of which Representative
Erdinau of Pennsylvania is chairman.
Representative Keifer's plan contem-
plates a permanent board with power
for settlement of all disagreements be-
tween all employes and employer aud
to prevent hostilities pending the settle-
ment of questions. There would lie a
permanent board of four members, three
of theiu appointed by tlis president, the
United States commissioner being the
fourth, while the governor of the state
in which the trouble occurs would make
a fifth member.

Washington. July 7. Speaker Crisp
will announce the names of seven house
referees oil the tariff bill tomorrow. His
action is awaited with intense eager-
ness, as it is recognized that personnel
of this committee will probably be de-
cisive iu determining the conflict he-
tween the s-nate and house aud fixing
the ultimate form of the tariff bill.

of congratulation from the Brazilian

ception of the tariff bill. This latter

The parents of the child are Juda and

children, all perfectly formed. These
did not live, however, and Mrs. Gross-

little one appeared. The mother is not
even now aware that her baby is blind,
and the knoweledge will be kept from

an armful of wood. While picking it

could accomplished his purpose foot-

was three hours before Mrs. Humphreys
recovered consciousness. She then de-

What the Grossman baby lacks in one

other that of touch for she has SM fin-
gers and to s all told. To the outer edge
of each little finger is attached another,
but not quite so well shaped. And.
again, the left foot has six perfect toes,
while the ri:;h! has only the usual num-
ber. In other respects the child is per-
fectly formed and has regular features.
"It is possible," said tlie doctor, after
describing the infant, "that there may
be parallel cases found, but, although I
have searched all the authorities I could
find oil the subject, 1 have failed to dis
