over oae hundred nejrois from Kan-
is.
is.On Sunday latt the managers of the
works decidol that all chiucts of the
trikors resuming work t the schedule

ly completed arrangements to
procure operatives el ewliere. The
plan wi8 kept a

rom all except a few parties in the
city. An ajent wai hired in Kamas to
elect the men from the vast quanti-
iea of unemployed labor float ing in
.ho state , and two days ago bo report-
id himself in readiness , and Mr. Mead
uft the city to accompany the recrui's '
and land them safely within the works.
The police were informed of the com-
ng detachment in order that all pro-
octton should be given them , while
o guard agaimt contingencies it was
decided to arm the men with loaded
ifl-a.
Thuttdy night at 10:15 : the regular

! ity and twelve negroes stepped on
bo rd and were received by Mr. Gra
ham and provide d with arms. At
jeaveuwcrth eighty-two more were
uken on bwr.l , ani when tlio train
reached St. Joa the platform was
crowded with 200 unemployed negroes
clamoring to be taken on board. Fif-
eon were selectd , and the train
moved on , two cars being filled with
the laborers under charge of W. A.
Graham and J. Hollingsworlh as
nts for the smalting works. The
train wore a
SIABTIAL AFFEAKANCE.
The motley mob were armed with
rifles , shot-guns and revolvers , and
the light of the lamps glanced fitfully
from the gleaming barrels of tin
mmkcts. Soug * wcro auag and n-gwn *
eral jollity prevailed , not at all in ac
cord unco with the dangerous mission
on which those present 'wore engaged.
Most of the men knew very well
where they wcro going and what was
the condition of affairs in Omaha , but
quite a number were in ignorance ol
the state of affairs , and were very
jovial at the prospect of work. Mr.
Mead himself was present , superin
tending and supervising the matter ,
and held frequent conferences will
his deputies over the probable outcome
como of the expedition.
Shortly after eix o'clock Frida ]
morning the tram drew up at thi
transfer , and the
INVASION OF NEBRASKA ,
by an armed force , began. The tvr <
cars , containing the Kansas refugees
wcro switched on the Union Pacifii
track , and a locomotive drew then
swiftly over the bridge , through thi
depot to the junction , and then dowr
the lower track toward the aineltinj
works. As the train , with its two cars
came down across the bottoms , groupi
of men were scon standing around thi
work- , unconscious of the coming re
Inforcomcnts. The cars quickly glid
cd up in front of the smelting work
office. Mr. Mead jumped out , fiftj
men with rifles disembarked , graspet
their gnns , and covered their unarm
ed fellows as they dropped one byom
from the train , and , carrying thei
traps , entered the gate of the incloa
uro and disappeared from view.
The guards posted by the striken
took in tbo situation at a glance , anc
in a moment two hundred men wen
gathered on the bottoms.
INTENSE EXCITEMENT
was exhibited by all , but the leaden
quickly determined , jipon a plan ol
action. MetscngeH wcro cent post
haste to rally the Union Pacific shot
men and inform tbo nail works. Tin
news spread like wild fire. Groups ol
workinsrnen csmo running down the
bluffs and in Ices than tea minute :
heavy detachments arrived from the
shops , where the moulders and black
smiths , almost in a body , quit wort
and hastened to offer their assistance.
At half-past 8 o'clock fully four hun >
dred men were gathered all burning
with excitement and indignation.
Cries of "Take them out ! "
"SHOOT THE NIGGEES ! "
were heard from the crowd , bat with
that deliberation and consideration
which has been such a marked featnra
of this remarkable strike , it was in
stantly determined to hold a confer
ence , and the crowd moved in a body
to the lumber pile on the west of the
U. P. track , where Robert Thompson
addrtesed the .assemblage , Mr.
Thompson said that this was a crisis ;
that the state had been invaded By
armed men come to take the bread out
of the mouths of Omaha workingmen.
It was an outrage which Jmust not be
tolerated , which ould not be toler
ated. Arms were a last resort , bat if
necessary it would be the duty of the
strikers to meet arms with arms. Mr.
Opontn nd. Wr , SloJIeryfollpwed In
urging the workingmen to stand up
for their rights. !
By this time the crowd was still .
further increased , and the excitement ,
was at its height. The body of men
surged to and fro around the speaker ,
undetermined what to do. Propon-
tions were made to
TAKE GUNS
from the militia armories , and the
movement at first seemed to give fa
vor , but several speakers , notably Mr.
Fonda , urged the men t-j violate no
law and await further development1.
As was to be expected the strikers de
cided to adopt the wuet cource. A
committee of ten was appointed , with
Ed. Mulkry as chairman , to wait upon
the managers of the works and inform
them of the tontiment of the strikers
and ask them what they proposed to
do. The committee were abjent some
t'me , during which the men gathered
in groups and discussed ( ho situation.
On their return the committee report
ed that they had roen the smelting
works managers , and that they had
reported that they were unable testate
state just what they did intend to do.
They had appealed to the au'lu-ritiea ' ,
and could tell belter when they sent
an answer.
By this time the whole city
POLICE WERE PRESENT ,
and were distributed around the en
trances to tbe works and herd and
there through the crowd. Sheriff Guy ,
Detective Llewellyn , Marshal Wester-
dahl and Police Judge Hawes were
a'so on the ground , and the report
that a conflict of arms could hardly
be prevented , attracted crowds of cit
izens and workingmen , who , mingling
with the mass already pr.eent , filled
the bottom with an immense assem
blage. On all sides the opinion was
exprersod tHat it would be impossible
to avert a collision , but by the efforts
of the leaders the excitement was
kept under check , and a
SECOND MEETING
held on the lumber pile to listen to
Mayor Clnse , who had anived on the
ground , and who was loudly called
for. The Mayor said that much as ho
sympathized with the men there prcs
eat , and they all knaw that they
hadn't a better friend in the town , he
was compeU d , as an official of the
city , to insist upon the preservation
of the pace and the enforcement of
he hws. He said , further , that the
sault'ng workmen had a right and a
lerfoci rght to strike , but not to prevent -
vent other men from going to work if
hey wanted to do to. He counseled
mcderation.and quiet , ani besought all
, o consider the peicj of the city and
their own interests by doing nothing
of which they wi > uld afterwards be
sorry. The speech WPS well received ,
and it was decided lo appoint a com
mittee to wait on the negroes and in-
: orm them of the true facts of the
case , and request them to leave the
juildings. The committee left , and
after a short time returned , and
through their chairman nnda a re
sort. They reported that they had
consulted with the Smelting works
managers , who h d given them per
mission to send three of their number
into the yard to confer with the mw
arrivals. This wai done.lie ; men
wore fathered together and informed
of the facts of the case. Th y were
asked if they had known that a strike
was in progress , and thirty-five said
that they had.not , and that they had
been induced to come under false rep
lantations , believing that there was
work for all. Ten s lid they d'd know
it , and cirno notwithstanding. The
committee then made a very
LIBERAL PROPOSITION
to them , offering that if they woulc
come out and leave the works and laj
down their arms that the workingmor
of Omaha would pay their way home
A vote wa taken on the proposition bi
the nrgrors , and it wai decided to ac
cept it , provided they would sent
them toother places , if they preferred
it , where work could be obtained
The chairman of the committee urgec
upon tha strikers and workingmei
present to ttand by this propositioi
to sat to work and raise funds ant
cettle the difficulty in a peaceable am
bloodless manner. Ho said that thi
men would como out- that three hai

ter was so arranged all could be sen

The proposition mot with imtan

should perform his duty impartial ! ]
and preserve the peace at all hazards
He said he had heard that Fonda hat
been giving bad counsel , and advise :
them not to follow it. Mr. Fonda ex
plained that he bad all along advisee
quiet and order , in which he was cor
roborated by all present. The com
mittees to collect funds from the
crowd reported § 15 collected from the
blacksmith shop and $13 frcm others.
The meeting then adjourned to recon

INSIDE THE TVOttKS

rounded by police ani specials. The
managers were found up stairs in con
sultation with W. A. Graham , their
Kansas capper , and had little to say
on the subject , except that they in
sisted 02 their right to employ whom
they pleated. Mr. Graham said he

Passing through the down-stain of
fice , throught tin assay and silver
rooms and out iuto the yard , little
groups of negroes , with guns at rest ,
were gathered talking over the matter.
Others marched two and fro with
loaded muskets at their shoulders ,
evidently feeling at once the dignity
and peril of their situation. Many
wore in tatters ; others looked as
though they had not been long out of
employment. Some said they were
machinists and used to shop work , but
many admitted that they were green
at any kind or tki'led ' labor. The
general opinion was in favor of leaving
the works n > \ accepting the proposi
tion.
tion.At
At the northeast end of the yard a
IMPROVISED CAilP
was surrounded by a score of blacks
revelling In ham and coff.e , which
were being prepared under a shed by
an officious negro cook. Around were
grouped ten or a dozen armed ne
groes , while to the rear one of tha
sheds was used as a storehouse , in
which were stored provisions enough
for a saven days' siego. Flour , tacon ,
Bugar , coffee , soap and potatoes lay in
bundles and bags on the floor , all of
which was transported last evening
from the city , and carried into the
works at 5:30 : o'clock'iu anticipation
of the arrival of the men. The man
agers had expected a siege , and wcro
fully prepared to provision the gang
fcr a week to come.
'THE CLOUDS DISAPPEAK.
At half past twelve o'clock the ne
gro s inside tbo yard ? , with some
twenty exceptions , decided to leave.
I They gathered their traps and throwing -
. ing down their guns , muched in a
body through the gUe to the track
without. Their appearance was R.-ett *
od with applause by the strikera , and
I many j < med the band and proceeded
to Clark's hall , where the libor union
j were holding a meeting in conjunction
with the s'rikcra. ' The twenty who
remained announced their intention
of sticking out , but it is hardly prob
able they will remain in much longer.
The occurrences of to-day have
I only exhibited in a more forcible
l light tbo forbearance and practical
! common sonaa of the employes of the
, smelting works. The spirit of order
conquered very strong temptations to
break the law and endanger both life
and property. That the only true and
just and manly ourao was taken is a
matter of as much congratulation to
themselves as to our citizens , who de
sire to preserve peace and quiet in the
city.
WOBKINGMEN'S MEETING.
A mooting of the Wrrkingmon's
Jnion was called for one o'clcck this
afternoon for tbo purpose of consult-
ns ; iu regard to the ma1 ter of funds to
jo raised for defraying the exportation
expenses of the colored tsxodutcra.
The meeting was duly opened , with
Mr. E. C. M llory in the chair.
Three rousing cheers by the men
outside , who were not able to gain ad
mittance by reason of the crowd ,
brought a hearty ro ponso from tt oe
assembled in the haU , when it wae
leirned that the colored men hid lofi
the smelting works in a body , and
were on their way to the hall
for the purpose of joining their white
brothers in tli3 strike. They wore ad'
milttcd , and crowded into the ccntei
of the hall about one hundred slrong ,
Several speeches by workingmen <
mide , thanking the colored men fo :
their action in the matter.
Representatives of the impor'ei
gang explained that under fnhe pro
tonsea they had bce-i decoyed awaj
from their home ? , nothing having beoi
said to them in relation to the strike
and they were much surprised whoi
tire-arms were put into their hands 01
approaching the state.
The committee on funds havinj
been c llod upon for a report statei
tat $289.80 had been collected and thi
same was delivered to a finance com
mittce.
The money will be used for the pur
pete of paying the expenses and rail

who desire to return to their homes.

Van AmDUTKh's Show.
The great Van Ainbugh Circus and

city to-day and to-day , is highly
endorsed by the press. The Peoria
Da > 'y ' Journal contains the following :
This excellent circus ard menagerie
was well patronized yesterday after
noon bivi evt-nin ? , and it well de
er vcs the harvtst reaped from the
jnoimuus crowd which despite the
hreatening wca'her , flocked to its
capaci > us tents. The menagerie shows
up all that his been advertised ,
and the ring performances were
* xc.-llent , comprising some very
liflku't atlnctive acts never pre-
entcd before to a PeoiJ * audicncs.
Tin riding w.-s very good , especially
, hat of fie equ'striermo and one of

jwed woman wore marvolons , espsc-
ally the lifting of a huga cask filled
with water , while the doings of the
itrong man astonished all. After tbe
liter's performance with the metal
> alls , he tossed one carelessly with
one hand into a crowd outside the
ring , and those who tried to pick it up
n a hurry found it necessary to take
second grip and lift with
both hands. Without as much pro-
ensions aa many shows which
como through this section of the
country , Van Ambargh gave a much
jotter performance , and tbe entertain
ment was well worth the money. We

how the frame shakes with rage ! It i
not tha cardinal that was touched sc
keenly then , nor yet the minister
it was the man , ani : Ea man asserti
himself with all the passionate strenq.l
of a great na'ure. The threat , "whei
thesa snown melt there shall come z
flood , " falla into _ the conspirators
quailing hearts with the nieasurec
stroke of sledges on the anvil
burning , crushing , pitiless ; wa heai
the thunder of disaatercua fate in th <
low , Liisicg , crully sharp accents ; th <
* ky of destiny begins to gloom , thi
bolt hangs threatening , and the fall L
sure and deadly. In" the lighter pas
sages Mr. Barrett was equally skillful
$ e sarcastic temper of his wit bright' '
ned many a scone , and his affection
or his ward was ingenious and often
moving.
