The IMm-usnIou of Various Subjects la Atlanta Tealerday, Atlanta, November 8.—“Prison Hy giene” was the subject for the morning session of the national prison congress. Hon. Wm. B. Patterson, of Cleveland, pre sided and read the opening paper. He said architecture in prison construction should be subordinated to sanicaiy condi tions, the most important of which are abundant air and water. The paper out lined some general directions for prison structure which had been found to secure these ends. The subject was dis cussed by Charles E. Felton, of Chicago; A. A. Brush, warden of Sing Sing prison; JameS Massle, of Toronto; M. J. Cassidy, warden of the Eastern Penn sylvania prison at Philadelphia; Major McCloughey, warden of the Illinois state prison nt Joliet; Prof. Francis Waylaiid, of Yale college, and others. The question of the number of tiers of cells which should he built evoked a difference of opinion, but most of the speakers were in favor of not more than three or four tiers. On the question of the occupancy Qf cells there was an almost unanimous expression in favor of only one prisoner to a cell, except in cases where the temper of the prisoner nr some mental or bodily affliction made it advisa ble to give him a companion. An invita tion was received from the LESSEES OF TIIE GEOROIA CONVICTS, who have their camp near Atlanta, asking the appointment of a committee to visit and inspect their camp. In response to this invitation a committee of ten, with Gen. Brinkerhoff, of Ohio, as chairman, was appointed, and will visit the camp to morrow. The afternoon session was occupied with a discussion of prison diet. The discus sion was opened by A. A. Brush, of Sing Sing, who described the manner of feeding prisoners at that prison. He gave the fig ures for last year, which showed that the cost per diem for feeding prisoners at Sing Sing was 9.7 CENTS per capita, clothing 2j cents per capita, and the total coot of keeping prison ers, i--cluding\ salaries of officers, 29.4 cents each per day. The subject was further discussed by Maj McClnughey, of Joilet. Col. Gardner Tufts, of Concord, F. II. Wines, of Illinois, Mr. Mnylen, of Canada, M. J. Cassidy, of Philadelphia, Rev. Dr. Byres, of Ohio, Mrs. Dr. R. Camp bell, of Illinois, and others. A rather lively discussion was held on the inquiry whether friends and relations of prisoners should be allowed to carry presents to them. Mr. Cassidy and Dr. Byres led t he opposition to this plan, while it‘was warmly championed by Major Mc Cloughey, Mr. Brush. Mr. Tufts and Mrs. ! Dr. H. Campbell. The ASSOCIATION WILL ATTEND THE INAUGURA TION OF GENERAL GORDON as governor of Georgia in a body. To night ex-President Hays was dined by Hon. Henry W. Hilliard, ex-minister ti Brazil. NIGHT SESSION. The night session was very largely at tended. The first papei was by Dr. John Morris, of Baltimore, on “Prison Physi cians, their duties and influence,” The subject was discussed by Powell, of the Georgia avrlum for the insane; Dr. Bylos, of Ohio, and others. An address on prison reform Was delivered by Alfred H. Love, vice-pfesident of the Pennsylvania Prison Society. Items from Montgomer}. Special to Enquirer-Sun. Montgomery, Ala..

Strikers Become Riotous, and the Militia Ordered Out. Rot, llh-k Oglesby Kays ••So Blank Cartridge*.*’ Pinkerton Mon. Deputy Mierllfa unit Militia on Guard—Son-Union Men Thrown from Bridge* nml Otherwise Assaulted. Chicago, November 8.—-The members of the first and socond regiments, Inter national Guard, assembled at their ar mory this morning at 7 o’clock in obe dience to the order from Gov. Oglesby, transmitted through Gen. Fitzsimmons, commander of the first brigade. Perfect quiet reigned in the yards this morning, the tracks in the vicinity ol the packing houses being patroled by deputy sheriffs, who kept the small crowds which congre gated on the corners moving on. Around the outskirts of the yards the scene wns different. Gangs of strikers stand at the entrances, and the men with their dinner pails in their hands were deprived of their pails, and in a number of instances severely thrashed. There seems to be u determined effort on the part of the strikers to prevent any new men from applying lor tbe posi tions, which the former had left. On tbe other hand the employers seemed deter mined not tore-engage any of the strikers. Captain Mackey of the town of Lake police assured men who applied every minute at the town hall that they would be protected. To-day marks the com mencement of the greatest strike ever in augurated in a packing town. At 7:30 o’clock this morning there were nearly 12,000 less men at work than at tbe same time a week ago and the men that did not report for duty were almost without exception those that have been imported by the beef packers to take the places of the 3000 men who struck last week. So far the status of the strike is somewhat indefinite, the only thing absolutely cer tain being Uiat tbe men who were ordered; p out Saturday unan imously obeyed the order and left their work just in the condition which it was when the committee appeared among them and read to them the instructions of the committee of the butchers’ assembly of the Knights of Labor. At that time the same lot of men, notably those in Armour A Co.’s house,seemed to doubt the authen ticity of the order, and seemed disposed to refuse to obey it. but the appearance of several well known committeemen absolved all doubts on the subject, and left t.h- doubters no alternative but to obey or renounce their allegiance to the Knights of Labor. Many of the men seemed dis satisfied at being called out. Some openly expressed their sentiments on the subject, but the great majority accepted the situa tion and went home without murmur. At 10 o’clock this morning the first and second regiments march from their armory to Lake Sliore station, and from there will at once be transported'to the stockyards. There has been no serious disturbance at the yards yet, but assaults on non-union men arc growing more frequent. As the morning progressed the crowds surround ing the entrances to the yards increased, tlie strikers became more desperate and the deputy sheriffs found greater difficulty iu dispersing them. Armour A Co. have about 160 of their old men who refused to strike at work killing hogs, but this was the only hog house in the yards running. Knight of Labor Burry said he had not as yet been able to get all the faots in regard to the strike, and did not know what ac tion he would take. He proposed, how ever, to have a talk- with the packers during the day and hoped to soon bring about an aniidabie settlement of the troubles. About 9 o’clock the crowd at the yards grew more turbulent, and assaults on non union men became more frequent. One man who was on his way to Fowler’s pack ing house was intercepted while walking over the viaduct which leads to the house. Three or four men picked him un and I threw him over on to the ground below, a ! distance of over thirty feet. He was very j badly injured. A special dispatch from Springfield, Iil., ! referring to the ordering out. of the sta o j troops at Chicago, says: “Gov. Oglesby says he does not care to talk about tho ! strike or the action he has taken in order ing out the militia. lie appears to be fully aware ol the gravity of the situation, and there is no doubt he will act promptly and effectually to preserve the peace and pro tect, liie and property. A gentleman pres ent at an interview with Sheriff Har.chett says the sheriff represented to the gover nor that there were 111,000 men on a strike at the Chicago stock yards, and he was utterly powerless to cope with so large a body of strikers with the force at his com mand. He considered it of the utmost im portance that the militia should be ordered out at once, and made a demand on the governor for assistance. The governor is sued an order tor the assembling of two regiments, and NO BLANK CARTRIDGES WILL BE USED. Sheriff Hanchett and Senator Campbell both declined to talk about tbe situation. Assistant Adjutant-General Ewart says Sheriff Hanchett. informed the governor that it would do no good to swear in spe cial deputies in citizens’ clothes, as they had no effect' As against strikers, he was satisfied no other course but to order out the militia would be effective, and asked for four regiments; but the governor thought he would start wit two. The militia, numbering about 700 men, ar rived at the stock yards without inc:dent. They left the ears at Third street, marched through the yards and are now quartered at Ferguson’s packing houses. Crowds cheered them faintly on tin irarrival, but yelled and jeered at the . Pir.ktrloa men uii their rounds. Pat Col lins and Mike Sullivan were brought to the armory poll._-<• station during the morning and charged with assault. They were ar rested by Officers McUrnw and Flannigan, of the Thirty-fifth station, at about 7 o’clock. Henry Sharp and William Oak ley passed Fifth mid Laurel streets on their way to work at Armour’s. A crowd of over 200 strikes, of whom are allcdged to be Collins and Sul livan, attacked the two workingmen. Oakley was almost killed, his assailants jumping on him and kicking him in a fright ful manner. But for the arrival .A officers Flannigan and McOruw, who drove the crowd back at the point of their revolvers. THE TWO MEN WOULD PROBABLY HAVE BEEN KILLED. Other arrests for similar offences were made later in the day. These men were taken before u justice and fined from $50 to $100 each. THE BALL OPENS IN EARNEST. A serious riot took place this afternoon at the corner of Thirty-ninth and llalslead streets. A mob of 3009 strikers attacked a j number of now men who were going to work at the packing houses. The police, who attacked the moh, were in turn at tacked and'driven back. Several men are said to have been seriously injured. The | militia was sent to tbe scene, hut the mob had dispersed before they arrived. There is intense excitement at the stock yards over tho outbreak, and bloody scenes arc- looked for to-night. BLUE DAYS AHEAD. The committee which issued the order j to strike was by no means u unit on tbe j I subject, as the position of packers’ reports • j differ. Hwift & Co. and Nelson Morris 1 have a number of imnorted men in their j houses, and have made provision to feed and lodge them. Early this morning a i number of men arrived from- Boston and i were taken to Swift's house, where there I arc now about 600 new men. Nelson Mor- | ri.t has about -1(H), and expects to have num- I her more to-day. Swift A Co. have adver tised In the Chicago papers for more men, and lmve also inserted notices to the same offect in eastern papers, and those of Mil waukee, St„ Bolds aud Kansas City. On the other hand Michael Cudahy, who is manager of Armour & Co.’s house, said to J. C. Flately: “WELL, I’M READY TO SHUT DOWN FOR THIRTY OR SIXTY DAYS and give these fellows what they want.” “8o am I,” suid Hately, and as the two head men of the packers committee separated eaeh to go to his own house, one of t lie smaller packers said that evey- thiug indicated that the pork houses would shut down for an indefinite period, while the beef houses would be run with import ed me. The butchers have inserted notices in the papers of all t he large cities warn ing all working men to keep away from the stock yards, A RESOLUTION AND A PROCLAMATION, Tho packers have declared war upon all labor organizations, and this afternoon signed a resolution declaring that here after none of them would employ uuv man connected with any labor organization. The following is the resolution, wnlch was signed by every packer at the stock yards: “Whereas, it is evident that- many men are willing to work, but are prevented by the action of labor organizations; and, whereas, packers are brought face to face witii the fact that their men are absolutely controlled by such organizations ; there fore be it “Resolved, That we will not employ any man who is a member of said labor organi zations.” The following proclamation was issued this afternoon oyJBheriff Houchett: “Chi cago, Nov. 8—Notice to the public: On and after Nov. 9, und until farther notice, the entrance to Packing Town will be open for the admission of all men who de sire to go to work, and lor all persons who desire to do business with tbe packing houses or in the stock yards. No other persons will tie admitted. Protection will be furnished for all men who desire to go to work. [Signed] HoucnETT, Sheriff.” TUE STRIKERS GROW QUIET. At 8:30 this evening an Associated Press reporter arrived direct from Packing Town and the headquarters of tile First and Second regiments. At 7:30 all was per fectly quiet in the vicinity of the stock yards No disturbance had occurred during the day and there were no grounds for fears of any during the night. The neigh borhood is now deserted save for the regi ments stationed there, and sheriffs, deputies and Pinkerton men, who have been on guard duty since the trouble i ommenced. Late this afternoon, about tbe time tho packing houses were closing for the night, the First infantry patrolled the yards aud approaches to the packing district, while the Second regiment marched up Root street to the intersection of Halstead street. In this wny the entire field was covered, but not the slightest indi cations of mob violence or the molestation of nonunion men were met with. The strikers express satisfac tion at the arrival of the militia, whose presence they clain to prefer to that of the Pinkerton men. To night the strikers issued a circular warning men to keep away from the packing houses and urging Upon their Inembers the necessity of boycot ting liquor if they hoped to win their light. The resolutions before mentioned of tho lackers’ Association were adopted with out a dissenting voice. Ouly those strikers will be taken back to work who will sigh an agreement to renounce all connection with the Knights of Labor ami similar or ganizations. The meeting also determined to provide board and protec lion lor the new men. A committee was appointed whose special business it is to promptly procure all assistance, boarding quarters and accommodations necessary. Alliuny AflTeeted by the Strike. Albany, N. Y., November 8.—There is an improvement in tiie live stock business of t he east. Receipts at west Albany during October were the largest of the year, num bering 3694 carloads. Old time buyers are again seen about tbe stock yards, and new life seems to move on an interest that a year ago was on a decline. Thu total re ceipts of cars far the months of August, September and October of last year were 7720 against 9451 for the corresponding months this year. A large | art or this in crease is of cattle. The demand for the same as dressed beef is becoming larger constantly A fresh complication has arisen which will call for action by the Knights of Labor. It relates to the slaughtering ot cattle for dressed beef depots, and is an outgrowth of the great Chicago strike. Saturday and yesterday, forty carloads of live cattle were received at West Albany from Chicago, billed to this city, Troy and other points in New England. The agents of dressed beef firms have instituted a search and after some little trouble found that only one butcher would kill stock for thorn. It is thought if the strike iu Chicago, which lias caused the forwarding of cattle on the hoot by these firms continues, they will have difficulty in finding accommoda tions in the east for the killing of their stock. The Knights of Labor are bound to support their striking brethren in Chicago, and will not kill any cattle fordealers, and they will also hruig tiioir influence to bear to prevent others from slaughtering for them. Live stock dealers will also use their best endeavors to prevent eastern butchers from accommodating their busi ness adversaries. 11 NAliON'S Willi. Morrison May Get the Turkish Mission.

The cash and that fund lias been reduced ac cordingly. The remainder of the out standing bonds are embraced in tiie 144th call, wnich docs not mature till Dec. 1. Carlisle avid tho Speakership. Washington, November 8.—The New York Hun of to-day prints the following: An intimate personal friend of Speaker Carlisle, who returned from Kentucky to day, says: “When tho early returns from Carlisle’s district foreshadowed that gentleman’s de feat, the only regret that he expressed was that the democratic majority in the fiftieth congress should be reduced by the election of a republican. Mr. Carlisle further said that the loss of the speakership, if it should prove tho desire of Ilia party to again con fer the nomination upon him, was a mat ter of secondary importance. Mr. Carlisle and I talked for some time upon that sub ject, and I do not believe I violate his confidence when I say that he does not desire a third election as speaker. His desire, in short, is that some other of his colleagues should receive this honor. Another consideration, as Carlisle outlined it to me, is the fact that the fiftieth con gress will immediately precede the presi dential election. It will be a congress of unusual responsibility and interest. Car lisle believes that the door of the house presents a field wherein he can better dis tinguish himself und render his party a greater service than he can iu the speaker’s chair. “Will Mr. Carlisle make a formal decla ration of these views?” was asked. “It would be an impertinence in him to decline iu advance an honor as yet not tendered him,” was the reply, “but 1 have no doubt ho will fully acquaint the leaders of bis party with his intentions upon his return to Washington the hist of the month.” Possibly a Ale ni '.lie Senate. Washington, November 8.—The belief that, the legialat ure of California is demo cratic and will probably elect Senator Hearst, will make the next senate stand: Republicans, thirty-nine; democrats, thir ty-seven. This calculation includes a dem ocrat to succeed Ben Harrison, from In diana, which iH now assured. The repub lican aggregate of thirty-nine includes Riddleberger, the readjuster, who often jumps from out of the party lash. Van W v'ck. of Nebraska, is also inclined to in dependence. Bot h Riddleberger and Va : Wyek are opposed to any factious opposi tion of the administration. To all intents and purposes it may be said that the sen ate is evenly divided politically. Turkey For Morrison. Washington, November 8.-— Gossip be.-', it that if Mr. Carlielc had failed of election the president would have been asked to appoint Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, lo tne Turkish mission, so that a vacancy might have been created to provide another way to congress for Mr. Carlisle. Mr. Morrison is now mentioned as a good man to lie minister plenipoten'ury and en voy extraordinary to Turkey, in the place of 8. 8.
