Very few of the latter had entered the yards, but remained in large groupes just beyond the railroad tracks in tensely watching the movements of tin- railroad people. Several hun dred men, however, remained 1 in close vicinity of the railroad house and the cars of the Lake Shore road and refused to obey the orders of the police to move, t tubs were drawn and several rushes were made at these groups, police using their clubs, and in one of the en counters Detective Filin, of the Lake force, knocked one of the men down.

The train will lie guarded to the Indiana state line by armed specials on board. A second freight train of twenty-six loaded freight ears followed the first train, having been made up at Englewood. It had about twenty armed specials, and reached south Chicago in safety. The railroad officials anticipated no trouble uftcr leaving 1 hut point unless it should be at some place beyond the state line, and tlu- squad of Pinkerton men, already men tioned, has gone to that point to guard agai ist that happening.

The great nail mill rent of excitement and suspense that j striko Jlt Belleville, Ills., has linallv come to an end.

Some l resistance was shown in moving ofl'the road, I and one man was severely eaten by a policeman. The excitement increased and by 9 o’clock the crowd was ready for anything. Shortly after 9 o’clock the town of Lake police cleared the tracks and the , streets leading to them of the crowds who were on them. Just after this Pinkerton with 124 of his men appeared on the scene. Many of them were armed with Winches- ; ter rid es. 11 a. m.—There are fully 200 police and specials stationed along the Lake Shore tracks between 41st and 45th streets. , About 100 are regular police of the town of Lake and the Pinkerton police and nearly 100 specials in the employ of the Lake Shore road, the latter of whom are armed with Springfield breech-loading imn LcU. These men are guaiding the roundhouse tracks of the Lake Shore road at intervals of fif ty yards, and no one is allowed to approach tiie switches or property of the railroad. Deputy Sheriff Gleason appeared at Forty-first street shortly after 10 o’clock, accompanied by six deputies. This is the lirst time since the strike began that any of the representatives of the sheriff' have bees on the ground. The chief deputy read Ihe riot ac t at four points along the line of the* Lake Shore road between Forty-first street and Englewood and the; police, and special deputies began to clear the track. The crowd moved off' quietly after the rending of the act, and up to 11 o’c lock everything remained quiet in the vicinity of the railroad track from the city limits as far south as Englewood. The Lake Shore company succeeded in making up a train of fourteen freight ami caboose cars and started south at 11:55 without molestation. A few minutes be fore the train started five of the strikers ventured in the yards at Forty-third street, and refusing to move, were handled loi'ghly by ihe police and one was placed under amst.

Tin* ( liiniuo A ini In tin* WimmK Chicago, June 2.8.—The Central Labor Union picnic at the Sharp Shooters’ grove yesterday afternoon to raise* funds for the* defense of the anarchists was a very harm less and peaceful affair. There were be tween 2500 and 3000 people there, and in most instances the* men were aecompunied by their wives and families, who had brought their lunches with them, and who enjoyed it, sitting under the* trees. Seve ral detectives were present, but had nothing to do. There* was a stand in tin* grounds, on which were exhibited plaques with the bust of August Spies on each, and the motto, “For the sake of the cause.” Those were sold for fifty cents, while photo graphs of Spies and i'arsons brought twen ty-live cents each. Among the socialists present were* Oscar Neehe, Ferdinand Chris mid Henry Spies, Miss Spies. Mrs. Parsons. Trick, cashier of the Arbieior Zcitung, Thomas Grief and other lesser lights. Late. in the after noon Oscar Net be mounted the band stand. He spoke in German, and said they had met together outside the city of Chicago to enjoy themselves and were not subjects to the laws of that city. Though several of the blood hounds from there were present, tiny did not car- tor them and could tifi (in in to go to t lie divil.

Captain Hunt has a state war rant for him for robbery. Kearns is the engineer who was in charge of the Mil waukee and St. Paul engine captured by the strikers and used in pursuing the Lake Shore train. Kearns claims that the st rikers placed the muzzles of two revolvers to his head and threatened him w ith death in ease of a refusal to do their bidding. A local paper says that a new’ stock job bing scheme lias neen discovered in con nection with the riots. An enterprising firm of New York stock brokers since the strike begun has representatives on the grounds and every attempt by the officers to move a train is instantly reported t<> the central office.

Miss Patrick Henry, the great Virginia ora tor, called in Ins day “the Demosthenes of America,” is described as having been nearly six feet high, with a slight stoop of the shoulders, bis complexion dark, sun burned and sallow, his forehead high, his blucish-grey eyes overhung by heavy eye brows, and his mouth and chin indicative 1 of firmness. His delivery was natural and well-timed, and his manners were digni fied. He spoke with great deliberation, never recalling or recasting sentences as in? went along, n* r substituting a word for a better one. His voice was not remarka ble for its swe etness, but it was firm, ami he never indulged in continuous and deaf ening vociferation. Every schoolboy is familiar wi!h his wonderful appeal to con gress to offer armed resistance to Great Britain ending, “give me liberty or give me d» nth.” liich.iid Henry Lee, measured by tin classic standard of oratory, was the Cicero of the continental congress. Tlie culti vated graces of bis rhetoric, we are to d, received and reflected beauty by their con trast with bis colleague's grander effusions, bis polished pt rinds rolling along without effort and filling the ear with the most ex quisite harmony. Alexander Hamilton, of New* York, small in stature, possessed a mind of im mense grasp and unlimited original re sources, of such rapid thought that lu seemed at times to reach his conclusions by a species of intuition. He would catch the principle involved in a discussion as if by instinct, and adhere rigidly to that, quite sure that thereby the details were certain to lit* right. Kufus King, one of his c olleagues, was the possessor of an un commonly vigorous mind, highly culti vated by study, and lie spoke with dignity, conciseness and force. His arguments were so logically arranged that as they had convinced him they ensried conviction to others. John Rutledge, of South Carolina, was probably the most cultivated orator in the continental congress. His ideas. .Ramsey tells us, were clear and strong, his utter ance rapid but distinct; his voice, action and energetic manner of speaking forcibly impressed his s» nt intents on t he minds and hearts of all who heard him. At reply he was quick; instantly comprehending the force of an objection and seeing at once the best mode of weakening or repelling if. During ihe first fifty years of the exis tence of the “senate and house of repre sentatives in congress assembled,” un der the constitution, th *re were no verbatim reporters, and the congres sional orators poured forth their breathing thoughts and burning words in polish 'd and eloquent language. business was transacted in a conver-utional manner, and when set speeches were occasionally made they were listened to with attention. The first written speu i. was read in tin T’nited States senate by the Hon. Issue Hill, of New Hampshire, a firm .supporter of Gen, Jackson. When about half through he suddenly lost the thread of hi* discour-e and stopped, evidently embarrassed. TJis wife, wlio sat in the gallery almost direct ly owr him. comprehended the situation, and said in a voice heard all over tin* senate chamber, “Mr. Hill, you'vi tunn el over two leaves at once.” He immediatelv corrected Ids mistake and proceeded with his remarks amid a roar of laughter. Daniel Webster was not an extempor i- neous speaker, and be aiway* prepared himself with great care for Ids speeches in the senate and bis arguments before Hu* supreme court. Always careful about ids personal appearance when be was to address an audience, he used, after he had reached the zenith of his fame, to wear the costume of the British whigs a blue dress oat with bright buttons, a buff waistcoat, black trousers and a high, white cravat, with standing shirt collar.
