J'ASSENQERS HUNGRY AND THIRSTY. fr (
All day today three Rock Island passenger tin
trains sjood on a sKlIng at Blue Island , ca :
where.they had been left Saturday night by J
the ' slrlkorn. Nearly 300 passengers , Inclml- lef
Ipir'.nmny women and children , passed Sat. up
, urUay night and today with very llttlo food

rays of a summer sun. Early this in < nuns ;
Borne of the male passengers ono > ar > il ti atr
connect a hose to the village water main to Pa
Ijrgcurevater ( or drinking and toilet pr *
poses. The strikers on watch Immediately
Interposed and said If the attempt was made
they would cut the hose. Such of the pas
sengers as could afford It hired conveyances
during the afternoon and drove to Went
Pullman , whence they came to the city nn
the electric cars , but the majority of the
unfortunates spent the day sweltering and
hoping In vain that the company would find
sorno way to relieve them. Several raids
were made on the village stores fcr food , but
the supply was Inadequate. The two or three
little hotels obtained largo prices for inlna-
turo sandwiches and for Imitation Ice ten ,
which would have horrified n visitor to the
World's fair.
The switchmen of the Chicago , Milwaukee
& St. Paul road held two meetings today
with representatives from the companies.
The latter tried In vain to Induce the men
to return to work. While a number favored
resuming , the majority Insisted upon con
tinuing the strike.
GRAND TRUNK TIED UP.
At the American Railway union head-
qtlarters today the principal work was the
direction of affairs on the terminal systems
of the Illinois Central , the Burlington and
the Northwestern. A delegation from the
Chicago & Grand Trunk reported that , road
tied up from Battle Creek to Chicago and In
Edgewater they had given It out that no
freight would be moved on the road till No
vember 1 If necessary.
The committee In charge of the Northwest
ern system reported that In order to get the
northbound express , duo to leave nt 6:30 : ,
away , Superintendent Moutton from Janes-
ville was compelled to act as engineer. The
Sunday morning newspaper train carrying
Chicago papers for the north and west was
over an hour late In leaving the city , the
fireman leaving the cab and it being impos
sible to fill his place till one of the grate
cleaners from the roundhouse was secured.
At Western avenue and Indiana street an
open mass meeting was held of alt the men
employed In every branch of the train serv
ice on the Milwaukee within the terminal
limits. A resolution was pasted without a
dissenting Vote that the men refuse to strike.
A similar meeting was held at Elston on the
Grand Trunk , which was attended by en
gineers , firemen and switchmen , tind nt
which a resolution was passed that no work
should be done after tomorrow.
The shopmen of the Northwestern held
two open air meetings at Four Hundredth
and Westlake and listened to reports of the
situation nil over the city. These shopmen
have been striking for two days and will
not go back until the trouble Is satisfactorily
ended.
A delegation from the Burlington reported
that the terminal yards were completely tied
up and that twenty-five switchmen whom
the company had secured to take the place
of strikers had been let go again. The
Galeaburg shopmen and trainmen were said
to bo ready to strike tbmorrow morning.
Telegrams were received from American
Railway union olllclals nt San Francisco that
the Southern Pacific there was tied up and
from Great Falls that the Montana Union
was nt a standstill , everybody from track
men to engineers having quit.
The Illinois Central railroad made a step
forward this afternoon , but It was with the
aid of several details of police. The New
Orleans limited , which leaves the Thirteenth
street depot at 125 : ! p. m. , was put through
Grand Crossing , Riverdale and Harvey and
is now on its way south. Tlie train carried
no mall , but In addition to a baggage and
two day conches had n Pullman sleeper. The
raising of the blockade Inaugurated Satur
day night by the derailment Just south of
Grand Crossing wns duo to the active work
of a number of officials. This morning a
wrecking train was organized by the Illinois
Central , manned almost wholly by officers
of tl-nt road. With the protection of a num
ber of police the damaged track was soon
repaired.
MAY TIE UP ALL INDUSTRIES.
Six persons were today given authority to
tie up every Chicago Industry. By n rnsolu-
tlon adopted at the meeting of the Trade
and Labor assembly the members of the
executive committee were given absolute
power to net In support of the American
Railway union until the boycott or the Pull
man strike Is settled. The executive board
of six members Is given absolute power to
act In Its discretion. This action was taken
after a long and heated discussion. It is
said the Building Trades council will dis
cuss the advisability of taking similar action
nt n meeting to be held tomorrow. If these
two organizations decide to order n strike
moro than nine-tenths of the union work
men in Chicago will bo Idle In less than
twenty-four hours.
The firemen on the Northwestern went
out hero today , refusing to work with scab
labor. The Illinois Central suburban fire
men have quit work for the same cause and
the suburban service Is abandoned.

CHEYENNE , Wyo. , July 1. ( Special Tel
egram to The I5ee. ) The sympathetic strike
an account of the Pullman boycott has
finally reached the Wyoming division of the
Union Pacific. Every member of the Amerl-
: al Railway union at the various towns on
the division went out today.
Meetings of the railway employes at
3heyenne , Laramle , Rawlins , Green River '
mil Evanston were held this afternoon. The
: onductors and engineers nro bitterly op-
losed to the strike , but among other classes
) f employes much sympathy Is expressed for
ho movement and It Is believed that the
iwltchmcn , firemen and those who are mcm-
jcrs of the Knights of Labor will join the
mlon men in the strike before tomorrow ,
fonlght's passenger trains nro practically

PARIS , July 1. The heat today was tropi
cal , but there were mitigating sephyrs. Over
2,000,000 of people must have crowded into
the main thoroughfares through which the
funeral procession accompanying the remains
of the late President Carnet to the Pantheon
passed.
Paris Is a city of great funerals. Those of
Prince Jcromo Bonaparte nnd Victor Noire ,
the Journalist , who was shot and killed by
Prlnco Pierre Bonaparte ; the funeral of
President Tillers , Louis Blank , Gambcttn
and Victor Hugo were never to be forgotten
sights. But the funeral of President Carnet
eclipsed them all. One saw In it a mani
festation of national feeling in the streets
and nt the Pantheon , which Is n secularized
church , built In the Irreverent century. It
was pagan nnd treated death with airy levity ,
At Notre Dame there were deep tones of
Christian emotion. The church lent all the
beautiful poetry of Its ceremonial to the
obsequies , but the bells of the cathedral did
not ring out a dirge In concert with the
mufllcd drums , the bugles and other wind
Instruments. The harps and violins In the
organ loft seemed to pierce the heaven with
their tones In the supplicatory passages.
Fifteen bishops , whoso esteem President
Carnet had won In the course of his many
state visits to cathedral towns , aided in the
celebration. The ceremonial at the Pantheon
was pagan nnd laic and appealed more to
the cyo and Intellect. It was the apotheosis
or the virtues and sensibilities of Carnet , the
most simple , accessible and affable of French
citizens , whoso seat In the domestic circle
was an example to every family and who
profited by the practice of republican virtues.
The universal heart throb which the tidings
of his death occasioned had somewhat died
out during the past week. Eight days of
deep mourning was more than France could
bo expected to bear and to a certain degree
a holiday feeling prevailed today at the
funeral.
FLOWERS IN GREAT PROFUSION.
People ordered' wreaths , while they were
genuine mourners , and they bore them In
the cortege today In a holiday mood. The
French are n saving people , and all are npt
to charge them with being mean. They lav
ished money on today's funeral rites. The
obsequies at Notre Dume and the arrange
ment of the Pantheon cost a very largo sum
of money , and It has been said millions of
francs were spent In Paris for lloral orders
nlone. The heaviest spender , In view of Us
size , was Mustapha , the European suburb of
Algiers. Its wreath' , for It sent many ,
were drawn on a wagon draped In black and
silvered cloth , and drawn by six horses.
What the provincials spent on wreaths Is
incalculable. On Thursday , Friday and Sat
urday and this morning the thoroughfares
lending to the Elysce palace resembled a
llower tournament. There were , open car
riages and railway wagom laden with such
emblems , not a few being four yards In
length. Vehicles streamed toward the pal-
nce without Interruption and all traffic save
that of the filled and wreath-laden carriages ,
Btc. , was suspended.
At the palace the court yard was filled
with wreaths and palisades were set up In
rows IP the gardsns to support the wreaths ,
and along the borders of the alleys the
ground was entirely hidden by these floral
Jinblems. The wreaths sent by Queen Vic
toria , the czar , King Humbert , the prince
it Wales. Emperor William , King Christian ,
3ueen Christiana and other sovereigns were
ilaced beside President Caslmlr-Perler's
loral tribute. The palace court yard , where
.ho ambassadors and official deputations
net today , was entirely hung In
ilack and fine art was shown
n the opposition of lines In the
Iraperles. The heavy cloth fell In rigidly
itlff , vertical llno > . The glass on the roof :
if the veranda was concealed by other fes-
ooned stuffs , looped up In valances and light
olds , seemingly of black gauze , were ar-
anged diagonally , scarfwlse. All around
he eaves ran n deep horizontal band. A
eature which was universally noticeable In
ill the streets through which the cortege
lassed were the lightened tapers veiled with
repe. The casket was wrapped In n trl-
olorcd Hag nnd a wreath lay on It from the
nether of the dead man. It bore the words :
'Honor and Conscience. " This was the only 1t 1
I'reath which wns set on the hearse. All t
he others were on easel-shaped bearers , \ :
ach carried by four men , or on wagons Vc Vc
raped to match the hearse and driven by Vp
3iir or six horses , according to the size of p
110 floral emblems. 0

PARIS , July 1. The remains of the Into
President SndUCnrnot' , the murdered chief
mnglstrate of France , struck by the hand
of Cacsarlo Santo , the anarchist , at Lyons
on Sunday last , wore deposited In the Pan
theon today by the side of the remains of
his grandfather , Lnznre Carnet , the "Or
ganizer of Victory. "
The funeral was made the occasion for one
of the most remarkable civic nnd military
displays In the history of Franco. Crowds
began to pour along the Champs Elysce ,
the Rue de Rlvoll arid about the streets on
the He UP In Cite from enrly yesterday
evening. People cntmrd all night , quiet and
mournful , discussing the tragedy and euro-
Ing the nssussln. IJy 3 o'clock this morn
ing the streets nlong the route were already
crowded , nnd by C o'clock the Place de In
Concorde wns black with people. The house
tops , windows and balconies of every house
along the line of march and every other
point of vantage we're occupied. All classeu
of people , young nnd old , rich nnd poor ,
crowded to the funeral from all parts of
Paris and from every depaitment of
France. The hotels weie packed and ve
hicles of all descriptions stationed where
the police would allow them to stand ,
pacKed with people who had furnished
themselves with liquid and solid refresh
ments enough to last them for nearly a
day. The nelchborhOod of the Urltlsh em
bassy wns so packed with people yesterday
evening that many who wished to get [
away In order to obtainfood and drink were
unable to do so , mid Lady Dufferln , wile
of the British ambassador , felt so much
compassion for them ithat she Instructed
her servants to distribute all the refresh
ments possible to the throng outsldo the
doors of the embassy. The example of
Lady Dufferlii was followed by the occu
pants of a number of adjoining mansions.
At 9 o'clock this morning the whole route
of the procession wns packed In a itmnnei
never before seen In this city. The weather
wns gloriously bright , but the heut soon
became almost unbearable. All the bar
row. " , benches , chairs and tables which
could be brouuht out of the houses were
placed upon the sidewalks and standing
room upon them was. auctioned off , and In
many cases at large prices. Countless dep
utations from civil , military , commercial
und other bodies began arriving in the
neighborhood of the palace and formed in
their allotted stations under the guidance
of the police upon the Champs Elysee , the
Avenue Montaigne and the Avenue d'Antlii ,
Lines of troops , Infantry , cavalry , artillery
and Gardes RepubllcalnCH wore'to be seen
on all sides , and mounted orderlies dashed
here and there , bearing' messages to and
from the staff of General Saussler , the
military governor of Paris. The mourning
emblems displayed on , all sides gave a
mournful tone to everything , and helped to
increase the gloom which .spread over the
vast nssomblaptf. The crowds at the pal-
once and the Place de'ln Concorde watched
with great Interest the arrivals of the car
riages containing the" representatives of for
eign nations nnd the hijh | ofllclals of the
government , who were ! escorted by detach
ments of dragoons. Then , came the cabinet
ministers , who were rcsiieetfully saluted on
all sides , and who seemed deeply impressed
with the solemnity on the'occasion. .
There was an Immense stir among the
crowds when Caslmlr-PerJer , successor of
the late president drove to the palace , for ,
contrary to precedent , the newly elected
chief magistrate of France had determined
to attend the funernl. The troops presented
arms upon his arrival' nnd he wns received
at the entrance of the , palace by a number
of high officials. General Saussler then
gave -the signal for the funeral to com

UEGAN THE SOLEMN MARCH.
General Saussler' , surrounded by a' brill
iant staff of mounted' olfleers , took up his
position In the courtyard * In front of the

the bier from early morning. At exactly
10:25 : a. m. the procession began Its march I
toward the cathedral of Notre Dame.
A squad of Republican guards emerged
from the grounds of the palace and pro 1
ceeded slowly down the Avenue Marlgnl 1
toward the Avenue Gabrlle nnd. the Champs 1
Klysee , the band of the gunrus pmylng a 1I I 1t
funeral march. All the troops presented t
arms and the people , uncovered their heads
In spite of the blazing sun. Following the
band of the Guurde Ilepubllcalne came four .
of the principal attendants of the Elysce ,
with trl-colorcd cockades In their hats and
bearing President Cnslmlr-Pcrler's splendid
wreath of roses and palms across two poles.
Then came two carriages , containing the
priests who were to pscort the body to
Notre Dame. After
the clergy came a six-
liorse funeral car , which had been used at ;
the funerals of Presidents Thlors and Mnc- :
Muhon. The trappings of the cur and

Ixitu 1'rost.
The nee presents crop reports from R. 0.
Dun & Co.'s correspondents In eighty-six
counties in the Etntc of Nebraska. The
accuracy of the Information cannot be ques
tioned. They show that corn Is a good
stand , with fine prospects In ncnrly every
quarter of Nebraska.
Small grain Is a
total failure In some localities , though in
most of the counties n partial crop will be
realized and In a few sections n good yield
Is anticipated. Fall wheat , however , Is very
generally plowed up and rye was killed In
blossom. Except In the river counties fruit
Is n failure. A good crop of apples Is re
ported from Otoc , Nemahn and Richardson.
Grapes will also be an average yield In
tlieso sections.
The late frost did a vast amount of
damage , but drouth Is chargeable with more
of the disasters reported against small
grain. Although the
early planting of corn
was cut down by frost It has very generally
recovered. The drouth was excessive In
some localities , where It Is stated that In
twenty months not an Inch of rain fell.
Trade Is reported dull In nearly all parts
of the stale and collections from farmers
quite slow. Nevertheless , most of the cor
respondents state that the country mer
chants are prompt pay , but are pulling very
close to the shore nnd largely doing n cash
business. With comparatively few excep
tions It Is stated that a good corn crop will
completely revive trade. The late refresh
ing rains have almost assured an exception
ally large yield of corn. The acreage
planted Is larger than ever before and un
less It should be dry from this time through
out July and August corn wilt make an ex
cellent yield.
Following are the reports In detail by
counties :
ADAMS COUNTY.
Hastings The average this year In corn
is much larger than last by reason of n
failure of the winter wheat , much cf which
was plowed up and the ground planted to
corn. Oats fared almost as badly as win
ter wheat , but fields left standing may make
half a crop. Collections arc slow. Hy
reason of two excellent rains prospects were
materially Improved last week , nnd the out-
Icok for nil Is better than at this time a
year ago.
Holstcln Wheat , oats nnd all small grain
have been entirely abandoned by farmers.
Some have put In corn , others were too
much discouraged and have pastured what
there was of It. Corn is all right , and
could have held out three weeks longer
unless there had been very not winds. Pas
ture was as dead jind dry as In October be
fore the rains. Corn will be a good crop
If we have moisture from this on.

Kenesaw The average this year Is about
3 per cent larger than last year. The
ivheat and oats crop Is damaged by dry
weather. The corn crop at this time is
looking fair. With rain from this on will
uvo an avcraga crop. Collections are very
leer , money Is scarce and the prospect for

large acreage for n new county. Potatoes

A large amount of millet has been sown
for feed and unless the weather Is extremely
dry there will be plenty of feed raised for
stock. Collections are very slow nnd trade
dull , with only moderate prospects for mer
chants and farmers. Several farms changed
hands In this county this spring and collec
tions were fair for n short time , but the dry
weather has stopped the land trades and
stagnated all kinds of business.
Lynch Corn Is looking good and will nrnko
a crop of twenty-live or thirty bushels per
acre with very little more rainfall. Prospects
are good for a new country. Money Is slow ,
but prospects arc looking up somewhat. The
acreage Is about SO per cent above hist year.

In advance of last. Half n crop of wheat
was realized last year and two-thirds crop
of corn. Droutli cut all crops short. Corn
Is the principal crop this year nnd bids fair
to be a good crop , but tliero cannot possibly
bo moro than one-third crop of wheat or oats
or other small grain on account of extended
drouth and late frosts.
Long Pine Cut worms destroyed whole
fields of corn. Fnrmers have replanted
many fields. Prospects for n crop this sum
mer nro not encouraging. Collections slow

UL'FFALO COUNTY.
Elm Creek Has been very dry up to nbout
three weeks ngo. Since then we have had
several nice rains and the corn crop Is as
sured. We will have an Immense crop of
corn , owing to the largo acreage , the farmers
having plowed up their small grain and
planted corn. There will be no small grain
In this section.
Gibbon Corn never looked better at this
time of the year. It Is well nilvaneed and
clean. Wheat will make about -10 per cent
of a crop. Oats will amount to nothing.
Most of the oat fields have been put In corn
and millet. The prospect for potatoes Is
good.
RAVENNA Principal crop last year. corn.
Average this year Increased , through plowing
under of fall wheat , which was mostly a
failure. Spring wheat and oats will yield
probably one-halt crop. Corn Is fine , aver
aging as good as usual at this date. Rains
abundant. Collections slow nnd trade dull.
Kearney Our principal crop last year was
corn , nnd the ucreago of this crop this year-
will be Increased over last , owing to the fact
that a Inrge number of fnrmers plowed up
their winter wheat fields on account of the
dry weather this spring nnd planted corn.
The prospect for corn crops this year , ni
present , Is excellent. The corn Is good ami
free from weeds. The winter wheat will
make n very Miiall crop owing to the pro
longed drouth , though that has been broken
and colidltloiii ! are not very favorable. Spring
wheat and oats may make half a crop ami
perhaps two-thirds.
Shelton Twenty-fivo per cent moro corn
this year than last. The prospect for com
Is excellent for this time of the year. A
good stand and the fields are clean of weeds.
Oats are generally n good crop , being next tiv
corn. A small per cent of wheat Is raises.
If the season is favorable from now on wo

HOLDREGB , Neb. , July 1. ( Special
Telegram to The Ucc. ) About 10 o'clock
last night Uennavllle Roberts , n young man
20 years old , was going from the business
part of town west on Hcdluiid street to his
home. As he passed the Presbyterian church
ho was accosted by two masked men and
commanded to throw up his hands , which
ho quickly did. They turned his face to
the church and deliberately went through
him , getting 15 cents , which was all the
money ho had , and -his silver Watch. They
commanded him to go down the street west
until they came to some corn cribs , whore
they drew up and walled for more victims ,
keeping Roberts covered with their re
volvers nil the time and Uircntcnlng to kill
him If he gave'any alarm or made any out
cry.
cry.J.
J. A. Fredericks , a well known merchant ,
was the only man to pass , and before he
got to the cribs the robbers asked Hen
If he knew the man that was coming. Ho
answered : "Yes ; he Is a laboring man and ,
has no money. " And Fredericks wns per
mitted to pass unmolested. Fredericks ob
served them us ho passed by , and con
sidered himself very lucky In not being In
terviewed.
After waiting a short time they moved
down the street further west , where there
is a small grove , with the expectation of
concealing themselves In the grove to hold
up people as they passed by , but after they
looked the place over they concluded not
to remain there , and started south nnd
crossed the railroad tracks. They kept
threatening Roberts' life , and told him that
they would put him out of the way , that
lie was poor picking , and that he would
never peep on them , and so forth. They
halted on an open plat of ground south lit
the depot to consider \vhs\t should be done
with him , as they wanted to hold up
enough people to get at/ least $ SOO before
morning , so they snld.'pna gtmr.Ued Rob
erts while the " 'other,1wentback. , to town
to look for a pal they called "Slim. " He
returned In a few minutes without the
> al , but bringing a ropq about thirty feet
eng , which proved , tp be a part of n lariat
. 'Ith which n cow had been picketed on the
lotnmon. They told Iloborts they were go
ng to hung him , but finally concluded to
; ag and tie him and take him up and put
ilrn In a box car. About this time pome
me came along close , and they moved down
'urther south , stopping nt the northeast
'ornqr of Mrs. Gurthwalt's fence. Some one
tassed. going south on the west Hide of
lira. Gurthwalt'B , and they moved over to
ho northeast corner of Mrs. Garthwalt'a
enco to see who It was , keeping Roberts
n front of them.
DRUMMOND CRUELLY MURDERED.
About that time Len llundstrom , a young
nislneps man , ami Klmer 12. Drummond ,
