CiitrAno , Oct. 19. [ Special Telegram to
fho Hr.B. ] The stock vards strike. which
promised to pass Into hhtory as a bloodless
one , has been attended by a reckless sacrifice
of human life. Terry Beglcy and another
man were mortally wounded by Plnkerton
men this afternoon. Armour & Co.'s Im
ported workmen , three or four hundred in
number , went out on a strike this morninc.
They had made up tlieir minds that they did
not care to remain any longer If the old
hands were to come back. The report of
their fears were communicated to Mr. Cud-
any , who assured them of protection If they
desired to May. They had concluded , how
ever , that while protection might protect for
awhile , the other butchers would ultimately
make It so unpleasant for them that they
would be unable to work there lone and that
they had better quit at once. Tlie train was
telegraphed for. and before 10 o'clock the last
so-called "scab" had left the premises , and
was seeding back to the home he had left
with Mich brlirhl prospects only a day or two
aco. As they were belne loaded on the train
the chief clerk at Armour's main olllee told
the men to remember their numbers
on thn roll * and assured them that If at any
time within the next two years they wanted
work they would be civeti preference , The
men were on the Lake Short' train. The
butchers were in the front ears and the
Guards In the three at the rear end. The lat
ter li.ul their rllle muzzles pointed out of the
windows. ' 1 hero was a stop nt Halsted and
Fortieth streets to attach other cars and the
train was switched bark some HttledNtancc.
Quite a crowd 01 curious people had assem
bled , and , as the inmates of tfie train were
recognized t here were some jeer lie remarks *
made. As the tiain repited this point a
Pinkcrton man pushed his Winchester rllle
out , aiming at the crowd and raising the
hammer. No attention was paid to this.
which was regarded as a jiieco of bluff or
blunter. The fellow. however , lired his
weapon and Terry Beirlev , a respectable citi
zen , fell , mortally wounded. 'the noise of
the explosion caused great excitement In and
out.sidi ! the ears. In a moment It was fol
lowed by n regular volley from the other ri lie-
men and the crowd , which was largely com
posed of sciiool einldrnn , tied in p.inlc. Not
n stone was thrown or a demonstration
made by the crowd. Few if any of the
stMkers were In It. In the ( light n man fell
and was hastily carried away by Ins friends.
lie was a I MI mnrtally wounded. The train
ftcnuicd on. Captain Mai key vvai near at
hand uitli a few men , and would ha\u ar-
re ted the man wholiml the shot hut ( eared
to stop the cartas a bloody riot miirlit have
resulted. He telephoned to the T enty-
second street .station , however , and when the
train ( eaeiied there it was boarded by u de
tachment of icgulni police , who placed all the
glacials under ai rest. When the train i cached
lliecltv them WAS another squad of ixillee
frym tlie Hnnison street station , reinforced
by dpterti\'e > , and the whole trowd was
marched to the armory. Tbere Ihey were
looked UD i lending an investljation.
The Piukcrlon men claim that the strikers
made an n-Mitilt first with stones and then
with revolvers , and that they made no nttack
until they had been filed upon. Captain
Markov said that thoVInkerton men did the
tirst shooting. rvnd without anv provocation
whatever. When the fpec'als ' were lodueil In
the Harrison street station the city police be-
can the work of assorting out the
ones who did the shootmir. Captain
Mai key , thrco bo > s and a man ,
who were present , all declared they could
Identify the man who shot Ueclcy. The
8i > ccl ls were made to march n.xst them , and
two of them worn nicked out as participators
in the ( .hooting. The weapons of the specials
were seized by the oolite wheiv the woik. of
Identifying the men who were said to bo
guilty of theshoot'ng ' began. The "scabs. "
who up to this time had been locked In the
cells of the station , were set free. They
innrc-lied out of the station Into the street , but
teemed afraid to go far without the protection
of Winchesters , nnd some i.f them loitered
alKitit the station forsoire ti ne. James Hill
and Walter Andrews arc the two IMnkerton
men identified as the men who did the shont-
hitr. liiehard K. Latlln , Guy Seivere , Robert
J. 1'nrtrum and Stephen 1'ryner confessed to
l.'avlni : shot into the crowd of strlkcis. These
six men arc held at the armory. The re-
nislmler of the Pinkcrton men and thu
"scabs" who were on the train were let go.
Captain Frank Joy was Inrharcoof the
Plnkciton men when the shooting occurred.
He was standing on thn rear plattorm. Sev
eral of the men picked out by the city jiolice
were not the guilty pnitles. Ho said also
that strikers gathered nlmut th car , -ICO
strong , just as they were about to start and
bezan lu'ltlns them with stones , and some of
them shot also.V were sent down here , "
said Ciiutaln Joy. "to preserve the peace ,
not todistuib II. but when somuof my men
weio II red iiioii | they returned the shots
thinking , uerh.ips , th.it the lives of the em
ployes who were In their charge were In
dancer. I was htandini ; on the rear plat
form of the train nt thu time and I rushed
Into the train nnd ordered them to stop tiring.
I did not know what Injury WHS done until 1
came Into thucltv. "
William A. IMnkerton say ? he has ample
proof that his men did not lira u | > on the
crowd until thuv had boon lired upon.
Charles. Beck , one of his men , who was In
tliec.tr ahead o' the one from winch the
shooting was done , says the crowd II rod at
least iivfl shot * before the tire was returned.
One of the bullets passed through ihe car and
imbedded itself In Ihe opjioslto wall , lirieks
nnd stones were then thrown until the side
ot the car wa > well hnlteied up.

to the IlEK.1 Within the last few day * It
hns been given out that Secretary Mannlne
had a great deal to do with the pomlnntlou ot
Hewitt for mayor of Xew York. This Is
like a errat man j ofllclal bulletins Rlen from
the white house simply for effect nnd to
carry weight. Everjono here knows that
Hewitt hns no love whate\er for Cleve
land or the administration. Little blus of
conversation * are bclnc remembered n
whirh Hewitt was one of the talker ? , and In
which the administration was handled with
out glo\es. Hewitt never took any stock In
the occupant of the white 11011 = 0 , nnd It will
not be n violation of confidence toay that
your correspondent himself has heard Mr.
Hewitt talk In the most uncomplimentary
way of Cle\cland and his methods. Hewitt
never went to thn white house nor
had any Intercourse with the president.
Hewitt has talked to tepubllcan members of
conctess about Cleveland and his policy of
civil service reform In a manner which sur
prised the republicans. If HewittJIs elected
he will so organize the city , while Hill at
tends to the county democracy , that when tpe
delegates from New York are elected to ttie
next presidential convention they will be for
nny one but Cleveland.

fifteen minutes His remarks were mainly
on the tariff nnd piohibitlon.
The party was met at Huntln ton by a
large nnd demonstrative crowd. In the
course of his remarks Jilalne characterized as
the height of Impudence the lenuest of dem
ocratic papers that he s.ate that while the
democratic party was in power national
prosperity continued and that the warnings
of republican orators of the danger to tlie
industrial sy stem of the country because of
democratic supremacy had been falsified.
Fortunately for the republican party , he
said. It Is not j.osioe ! , however , to
obliterate current history. Alter tlie
democratic party tried for six long months
at the last session of eonirr ss to bieak down
the protectU e tariff they failed nnd U N In
consequence of that failure , and because of
the maintenance of the tariff that we find our
Industries spring forward with renewed ac
tivity all o\er the country. Shaking ot the

committed at the Marlborongh street police
court this morninc on the complaint of
Messrs. Kerrle. Fnniuahar & Co. . of St.

the lU'cklncham 1'nlacc hotel , whose pro
prietor was deceived by what purported to
be a letter of credit nnd Introduction from the
First National bank of Chicago of 510,000.
The hotel host gave him nn Introduction to
his bankers , who , by the plausibility
of Ihe man's manner , were Induced
to accept a check ngalnst the draft
to the amount of two bundled pounds ster
ling. The bankers took him to be a wealthy
speculator In wheat nnd pork , and Chicago ,
Milwaukee & SI. Paul shares. The prisoner
might have got away had he not written from
the hotel to his tailor Inclosing money to pay
for his clothes. They had already obtained
a narrant on the charge of false pretenses ,
A detective called at the Buckinjhiiu Palace
hotel , when he and the host compared Intor-
mation. The prisoner. Ignorant of the war
rant , was arrested and searched , and other
forged letteis of Introduction In blank were
found. Meanwhile tlie Chicaco bank had
been written to by the City of Klchmond

give it verbatim :
Dear Sir : The health of the emperor Is gen

The physical actions never fall In respect of
all necessary and reasonable functions per
ception , intelligence , judgment , resolution
and still work as they should. His memory is
admirable , and as to desire nnd aptitude for
work , he is Indetatigable. His general
temperament is cheerful , uracious anu benev
olent It goes without saying , sir. that a
period In life so advanced almost m.uogen-
arian gives rise to certain morbid tenden
cies , but these are not of any esbtfntiaf Im
portance for the moment , and they in no wise
justify any actual fear. On the whole
the condition of the emperor is such that ex
cepting unforseen accidents , we may hope
that his majesty. God willing , may still enjoy
many years of life and activity. With much
consideration 1 have the honor to be yours
obediently.
