I HAW men strewn oil over the tracks , and they wore dead men , too , The mob was not far away when we began to fire , and for about three minutes the mllltla , the deputies and the police , who fought Ilka dovlls , wcro Dimply pouring lead Into that , crowd. Wo were close enough and the 'mob was big enough , and t don't think many bullets went wide , Thcro were moro killed than wo will ever know about , " The statement * of Superintendent Atwater us to the number of men shot down are up held by the militiamen and deputies , many men declaring that they had scon the ntrlkcrs carrying away men who were either dead or wounded. The Injured men whoso names are given were brought to the city by the police and placed In the hospital. The report of the fight occasioned great excitement nt army headquarters , and the request of Police Inspector Hunt that several companies of regulars and a Galling gun bo sent out to the sccno added to the feeling. The mob became quiet n evening , however , and the regulars and artillery wcro held at the depot all night. At 9 o'clock tonight n mob of 2,000 or 3,000 collected at the scene of this after noon's flght. They set lire to several cars and thrco or four wcro burned before tha flro department reached the scene. The flames are now under control. A report was In circulation In the stock yards late this evening that Rome of the socialistic clement among the mob associated with strikers have proposed to throw dynamite bombs Into the camp of the mllltla after the soldiers have retired to rest. This report has created considerable excitement , POLICE DRIVE BACK THE MOB. As the train with the military aboard pulled out fully 20,000 ( people crowded about the handful of police left behind. From all Bides they rushed upon them , hurling stones and Iron In their mad assault.Tho men , realizing their position , drew their revolvers and backed up against each other , prepared for a desperate battle. The crowd halted for a moment , and Officer Hyan , breaking .through , hurried to a patrol box and called the patrol wagon. Lieutenant Keleger and twelve men responded. In the meantime the crowd had closed again about the pollco , following them with a volley of stones. The work that had been done by the wrecking party was attacked as the pollco retreated. A car was sot on flro , the switch closed and broken and rails torn up. An alarm of lire was sent In and with It a second call for pollco assistance. Loorala street , the heart of the anarchist settlement , was crowded by a howling , shrieking mob. The patrol horses were urged through It , the crowd sullenly part ing. Without flinching they clubbed their way through to their fellows and then all started back against the crowd. At the eight of the reinforcements the crowd fell back. Each officer evidently thought his life was In danger , and without any order they raised their weapons and fired as fast as possible directly Into the crowd , which wav ered and then -beat a retreat , first replying to the unexpected rain of siiot wltb a shower of Rtoncs. As they retreated , leaving several on the ground , the police followed with clubs , showing no mercy. At every step they knocked a man down , and as they ad vanced the crowd showered stones on them llko hall. Rushing Into nearby saloons , the mob barricaded the doors and made a stand , but wore driven out through windows and back doors llko rats , clubs descending on their heads at every jump.

SIOIIS HAlll.Y AT Tlll'.lll WORK. Firm Started In Ilio llitrlliiRtnn Vnrils mill nt Ollior finer * . CHICAGO , July 7. Chicago has taken on a very warlike aspect. What , with the fed eral troops , the United States marshals , the mllltla and the pollco , the guardians of the peace are visible everywhere. On the lake front Is a camp of regulars , with pitched tents and stacked arms and patrollng sen- trios. Surrounding the postottlco Is another smaller camp with a half-dozen tents and a threatening patrol. Detachments of troops are marching and artillery and cavalry mov ing constantly. The strike Is the topic of conversation everywhere , and all sorts of wild and Im possible stories are afloat. A largo number of factories have been closed owing to lack of coal and Inability to ship goods , , and this has thrown a vast horde of employes on the streets to swell the crowds and Increase the disorder. Every one Is on a tension and expecting bloodshed at any moment. Mobs gather every afternoon and attempt to stop the outgoing and In coming trains , and as night goes on they grow boisterous and begin rioting. They overturn freight cars to block the tracks , and as soon as darkness sets In they start off In small squads , setting flro to the cars standing In long lines In the railroad yards. Tills Is kept up throughout the nlglit until early morning , when from sheer exhaustion they Ho down In the streets and vacant lots and go to sleep. EARLY WORK OF DESTRUCTION. As a conscqucnco the forenoons are usually quiet. Today proved an exception. The mob was up and at Its work bright and early. In solno places they began the attack at 5 o'clock. Today's Incendiaries began In a brand new quarter , the Chicago , Burlington ft CJulncy switching yards , Just west of the Hawthorne race track. Fully a dozen freight cars In the yards were burned bright and early this morning. At daylight the destruction of the cars was complete. Serious trouble was looked for today at Forty-eighth street and the Grand Trunk tracks. A mob that gathered there this morning threatened to burn the round house. The building was surrounded and a move toward the threatened destruction was ex pected at any moment. Colonel Moulton and forty men of the Second regiment , Illi nois National Guards , was sent to the scene to guard the building and yards. At 11 a. m. It was reported that a mob was firing cars and other property on the Chicago & Northern Pacific railroad near the western city limits. Five companies of United States troops from the lake front were at once or dered to the grand central depot to take a train to the scene of the trouble. The troops wcie marching through the streets within ten minutes after the call. Serious rioting was reported about 11 a. m. on the Grand Trunk road In the vicinity of Elsclon. Deputies and police were called for by the railroad authorities. Rioting was also reported to have -been renewed this morning on the Burlington tracks at the Western avenue crossing. The property of the railroad company , It was stated , was being flred right and left. A few moments after 11:30 : this morning a mob numbering GOO tore up the main tracks of the Panhandle road at Fiftieth street. The pollco charged them , but were met with a volley of pistol shots. The police refrained from returning the fire , but succeeded by repeated charges In dispersing the crowds. The Second regiment went to Forty-soventh street to act as a guard for the Panhandle tracks.- ONI3 MAN WAS WOUNDED. Intent on destroying freight cars In the Monon yards at Sixty-fourth street , a mob gathered In that district at 5 a. m. today. The rioters started for the yards and a oall was sent to Englewood pollco station for help. Forty olilcers were sent to the yards. Their appearance did not frighten the strikers and they continued their march. Orders to disperse had no effect upon the men and several shots were flred Into the disorderly ranks and the men fled. One of their number was struck by a bullet from Sergeant Bruton's revolver. The wound was apparently not serious and the man was hurried away by his friends. Symptoms of disorder were frequent today ut all points between Forty-ninth and Flfty- flfth streets , In the Stewart avenue district. Pollco ofllcers , detailsof mllltla and federal troops wcr scattered along the line. At Brighton Park a squad of police were on guard under command of Lieutenant Walsh with orders to shoot at the first attempt of the rioters to destroy property. About 8 a. m. a mob of about 600 strikers captured a Baltimore & Ohio wrecking train at Fifty-ninth street. The train crow fled. IT WAS AN ACCIDENTAL KILLING. Richard Zeef , a Baltimore & Ohio em ploye , also a United States deputy marshal was killed at the Grand Central depot last evening by the accidental explosion of a gun. William Martin was seriously wounded at the same time. Before 10 a. m. officials of the Grand Trunk telephoned the police that large mobs of men were moving down their tracks In the direction of their shops at the crossing of the Panhandle tracks at Forty-ninth street. They expressed the belief that the mob Intended burning their shops. Chief of Police Brennan ordered Inspector Hunt to the scene with a force of men. Half an hour later a message came from the Northern Pacific and the Baltimore & Ohio roads that mobs were gathering at Forty-seventh and Fifty-ninth streets , where these companies have wrecked train : ) . Fear was expressed that the strikers Intended burning these wrecked trains In order to prevent the clearing of tracks. Inspector Hunt , was also notified to attend to this trouble. Along the Burlington tracks scenes of violence lence were enacted today for the first time. At West Fortieth and Twenty-fourth streets a mob gathered and upset several freight cars. The 'rioters wcro dispersed by pollco from the Lawndalo station. DESTRUCTION AT THE STOCK YARDS. Today at the stock yards brought no receipts of' ' live stock' ' and no prospect of shipments. The paralysis of the railways and packing houses continued complete. A survey of the scone at the yards this mornIng - Ing showed that the devastation by flro along the line of the Panhandle railroad extends over at least three lulled. Everything pcrtshablo was destroyed , Including cars , switch haunts , signal towers and exposed freight. The fires are still burning and now and then break out In a now center. Policemen closely guarded the Lake Shore , Fort Wayne , Western Indiana and Pennsyl vania tracks at the yards all last night , and today preparations were being made to start meat trains eastward. Tracks were this morning slowly cleared of obstruc tions with the Intention that as soon as this was accomplished switching would be- sln. In muny Instances the obstructions were so Ingeniously and firmly fixed that It was almost Impossible to remove them. It was stated that when the trains were ready to move all the military and police force available would be exercised to prevent Interference. There were no crowds of the Idle and vicious men at the yards this morning * to Interfere with the work of clearing the tracks. A large number of strikers slept In the vacant lots adjacent to the Link Bolt Machinery company's plant last night , but they showed no disposition at an early hour to resume their unlawful operations of the previous day. Chief McDonald of the stock yards pollco said : "Tho people who were out raising Cain last night are at homo and asleep. I have made the rounds of all the tracks , and beyond a few groups standing Idle around there Is nobody to be seen. They will wako up pretty soon , but wo are ready for them. I never saw such scenes of disorder as were to be found on every hand here yesterday and laat night. " Nelson-Morris , Swift and Armour have all sworn In several hundred special officers to guard their property. They feur the Incendiaries more than the train wreckers. No attempt was made In the stock yards to move trains , and nothing will be done. It Is expected , until Monday. Tha packers fear violence tonight , but no demonstrations were made today. H Is gald the striken will not attack private houses , but will confine their depredations to corporation property. LAKE SHORE HAN PASSENGERS. The Lake Shore rend sent out thirty-six passenger trains this morning , two of them promptly on time. All Incoming trains ar- rlvod at the depot on time. The Rock Island road Is still completely tied up. The office force within the city has been tempo rarily laid off and no business transacted at the general office. No trains are running on the Baltimore & Ohio north of South Chicago. The com pany expects to send out this afternoon from South Chicago n special train carrying teach ers destined for Aabury Park. Those from the west who expect to go over the Baltimore & Ohio road wilt take the Elgin. Jollet & Eastern belt line , while thoRO going from the city will bo taken out on co.blo and elevated trains. One train on the Chicago & Alton road due last night reached the depot this morning. No other trains came In and none went out. The Panhandle Is completely lied up. A little business was done by the Chicago Central , the southern branch of the North ern Pacific , but the Burlington , Milwaukee & St. Paul mid Northwestern roads were operating their passenger trains as In times of peace. SHOTS EXCHANGED WITHOUT HITTING. Police olficcrs encountered the rioters at Fiftieth street and the Grand Trunk tracks this morning. Shots \voro fired on both sides , but no ana was lilt. Flvo freight cars standing on the Burling ton tracks between Wood street and Western avenue were fired this morning by a crowd of women and boys. In the -1,000 people the percentage of men was small. The fire was extinguished without Interference. lill.H AND WICKiS : CONI'IIK. riillmun Company Not Willing , Ilonc\rrtn Concede . \rliltrntInn. CHICAGO , July 7. The Dally News will Issue at 7 o'clock an extra containing thu following Important Information , and It vouches for Its correctness In every particu lar : Late this afternoon President Debs of the A.

If they desire to discuss the situation , &a I said , I am ready and willing to see them. The conference will be held tomorrow at my office , but at what hour I am unable to state. " Later this evening Mr. n. F. Lawrence said : "Thero has been no talk whatever of a meeting between Debs and Wlckes , or be tween Debs and any representative of Pull man's company.

At present that road Is running all Its trains on time and many nonunion hands are at work. Many of the old men have been replaced and the sit uation Is a discouraging one for the men. It Is the wish of the leaders to Initiate a second tie-up on the Northwestern system , making It complete and absolute , and then fight It to a .finish. By this scheme , the men who. have becn deprlved of their places m y regain'them , It' ' Islsald , and tha union workers' who quit at- the first call will not lose so heavily for having gene Into the sympathetic movement. The Stewart avenue district , between Thirty-ninth and Fifty-ninth streets , was distinguished by frequent scones of disorder today and officers and soldiers swarmed there. At Englewood a mob of several hun dred rioters Jeered at a detachment of sol diers and a squad of police. Inviting a col lision , and finally flred several shots at the blue coats. The fire was returned by two or three officers and a charge was ordered which temporarily dispersed the mob , though further and serious trouble In that quarter Is feared. * FEDERATION ANOUTSIDI3Il. President Gompora Says Tlioy Ilavo No Present Idm of Striking. NEW YORK. July 7. No action has yet been taken by any New York labor organiza tions looking to active participation In the great strike. The representatives of the A. R. U. , who have been here for a week or more , have had exceedingly -poor success In their efforts to gain supporters. President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor was requested to go to Chicago to confer with Mr. Debs regarding the situa tion , but declined to do so on account of pressing engagements In New York. Mr. Gompers said today that the A. R. U. had as yet made no request for help and that the federation had not held a mealing and had made no arrangements for holding any meetIng - Ing to consider the situation. "Tho federation Is not very strong in steam railroad circles , " continued Mr. Gem pers , "nor Is there any general organization In the cast that Is very strong. " Mr. Gompers said lie knew nothing of the proposed visit of Mr. Debs , to New York. Through the efforts of the emissaries of the A. II. U. a meeting of delegates from the various local unions of the city Is to bo held tonight to see It it may be possible to ar range for a mass meeting of the strikers to be held In this city early next week.

Your attention Is further called to section 3,9154 , revised statutes , making all railroads postroads of the United Stales.

( Special Telegram to The Bee. ) The action of the federated board of Union Pacific employes In refusing to order a general strike on the system meets the hearty approval of a largo ma jority of the members of the organizations represented. It Is a great disappointment , however , to the members of the A. R. U. , who believed that the trainmen would Join with them In the strike and considered it a death blow to the BtrIKo In the stale. Union Pacific officials and citizens generally are much pleased with the conservative ac tion taken , and It Is earnestly hoped that It will have a beneflclent Influence In causing all employes to return to work.

While no attempt nt violence was mnde th ? mob shoved vHlble olgns of restlessness nnd used language tlmt was hardly fit for a par lor. Smith being given to understand that If he over came through Rork Springs again It would bo regarded by the inon as n challenge to fight. The pas sengers were greatly frightened and the first oecllOn delayed but a few minutes at the Springs. By the tlmo the second section arrived nt the depot the croud began to show additional signs of hostility and Engineer Hit- tcl was shamefully abused by the mob. who needed but a loader to commit some overt net. During the bowling and hooting and the excitement some ono of the mob dropped a nut In the guide of the engine and on the first stroke the cylinder head was forced out , which necessitated some delay In un coupling the fide. It was this threatening aspect at Rnck Springs which caused Assistant Secretary Orr to wait on the military authorities nt the Paxton nt midnight , nnd later on Gen eral Brooke ? t hl residence , not for the purpose of asking for troops as nlluged , butte to apprise General flrockc of Ibc situation that he might give Instructions to Captain Qulnlon in command of Iho company of federal troops nt Rock Springs , which has been stationed there ntncc the rials of 18SI. Beyond the firemen having gene out nt Pocatello there ft little change In the situa tion on the Union Pacific since Friday. General Manager Dickinson stato.l that not a wheel was being turned west of Cheyenne , and having cleaned up the passengers as far as Evnnston It had been decided not to at- leinpf lo moVe any inure passenger trains west of the Wyoming capital. Trains are running through to. Denver and Cheyenne on the "Overland , " .but the travel Is exceed ingly light.

City.The The general manager's office of the Union Pacific presented a btt > y , apps3ranco last night , the leading officials being In con sultation with officials on other portions of the system as to the most expeditious way In which to accomplish the mobilization of Untied States troops. In the group about tha general cfflco were Superintendent of Telegraph Korty , Superintendent of Car Service Buckingham , General Attorney W. U. Kelly , Asu'itant Secretary Orr and sev eral stenographers. It wao decided , after having recslved word from General Brooke , to accomplish the movement of troops from Fort D. A. Rus sell to the point , In Wyoming designated. As fast as possible , equipment will be pro vided for other troops to be moved to scenes of disturbances. While everything was reported quiet along the we > tern division of the Un'on Pacific the greatest fears are entertained that riot ing and rapine will cccur today , and It Is In prepirntlon for thes.0 prospective hap penings that troops last night wore on the move toward terminal points on Ihe By tern. But the Union Pacific Is not alone Involved of the trnnsmlssourl roads In a tie-up. From what Is believed thoroughly reliable source : ! It la learned that the firemen on the west ern division ot the Missouri Pacific , the dl- vls'on between Omaha and Kansas City , will go oat this morning. For several days Superintendent Rnthlmn has been afraid of this movement , and has so expres.ed himself to snveral railroad men. The engineers , on the contrary , say they will remain loyal to the company , but will not work with green hands , which Is another way of saying that "scabs" cannot shovel coal for them. Last nlglit the local officers of the A. R.

Fully 2,000 men have been Idle this week , but today 1,200 employes of packing houses and wholesale firms that were laid oft have gene back to work. There are probably not to exceed 300 railroad men out on the stilke now. Men who stayed by the railroad companies during the strike are being Riven the preference now. There are still prospects of trouble should Iho mllltla be withdrawn , nnd It Is not probable they will he before Monday. There has been no conflict today and no attempts to prevent trains from running. Twenty-seven members of company M of Cherokee nro in the military hospital be- inuso of tin poisoning from eating canned tomatoes. Two militiamen : ire laid up from Injuries Inflicted by strikers throwing stones. Seven additional arrests of strikers who helped blockade mall trains were made by the United States authorities today , making eleven In all , while len warrants still re main unserved.

' . One of the first serious results of the rail road tie-up , as far as It affects the city of Omaha , will be the closing down of the Omaha & Grant Smelting works. Those works will be obliged to shut down for want of ore to work upon. There is a sufficient quantity to run a day or so , but after the supply on hand Is exhausted It will be nec essary to draw the fires. Manager Nash said yesterday that the company was very reluctant to close down , although business hud been extremely dull for some tlmo. The railroad strike has shut of the supplies of ore and the works will be closed Indefinitely within a day or so. The exact hour for closing down has not been decided upon , but the works will hardly run more than two days longer. "When the works are once closed , " said Mr. Nash , "they will not bo reopened for some time. The company Is carrying about 500 men on Its pay roll , but all of them have not been employed on full time. During the dullness of the past few weeks an effort has been made to divide the work among all the men , so that all can work a part of each week. About 200 are kept at work all the tlmo and these ot course would be com pelled to seek other work or remain Idle. A letter received from the president of the smelting works at Denver stated that the works there would not be closed until next Tuesday morning. " OFITKKS A THOUSAND MKN.

Seavey of the Omaha force has taken a hand In pulling down the strlko In Chicago. Yesterday ho telegraphed In his official capacity as president to Superintendent Brennan of the Chicago force stating that In his opinion pollco could handle the mob much more effectively than the mllltla or the regulars. With this Idea In view he offered to furnish 1,000 uniformed officers from Ihe different cities In the association , providing their expenses were paid. In discussing the matter , Chief Seavey said that there were seventy-eight metropolitan cltloi In the association. Including all of the largo elites of Ihe United States , with the exception of New York and Buffalo. His Idea was to take extra details from each of these elites and land them In Chicago cage , nil at about the same tlmo. Being frequently thrown In contact with rioters and mobs , he was of the opinion that police officers were the proper parties lo solve the problem. Later In the day Superintendent Brennan replied to Chief Seavey , thanking him for the offer of 1,000 men , s-iylng that they were not needed at present.
