a. aDont a h“S7fi«ha nundred discharged re .d Pink Pink-
irton men were on their way to the city
in cars from the stock yards, they were
hooted mid stoned by a crowd of strikers
near Fortieth street. One of them, in
exasperation, finally fired his Winches-
ter into the crowd through a car win-
dow mortally wounding Dennis Bagley,
a well to do teamster.
Word was immediately sent to the Chica-
go authorities, and upon the arrival of the
tho Ontire lot of Ptokrt»
workmen men together who wi h som -forty the non-union
were also on train,
were arrested and locked up in Harrison
street station.
From later accounts it appears that the
shooting that was notconfined to one man,but
all the Pinkerton men joined in the
fusilade. When the train passed through
a crowd at Halstead street they wero
again greeted with jeers, when a large,
stouf, red faced man, clothed in a Pink¬
erton uniform, stepped out on the back
platform and fired his revolver into the
crowd. 1 his was the signal for a gener¬
al volley, and fifte n or twenty Pinker¬
ton men began to fire their rifles from
car windows. Fully thirty shots were
fired. The fence and shanties along the
track were marked with bullets.
The stock yards strike, which prom¬
ised to pass into history as a bloodless
one, has been attended by the saeratice
of human life. Terrey Begley and
another man were mortally wounded by
the Pinkerton men this afternoon, and
some hundred and fifty of the latter
were arrested to await disposition on the
charge of murder. All but six were
afterward released. The Pinkerton men
say that the strikers made the assault
first with stones and then with revolvers,
and that they made no attack until they
had been fired upon. Captain C. Har-
key said, however, that the Pinkerton
men did the first shooting without any
provocation. Captain Joy was in charge
of tile Pinkerton men when the shooting
occurred. He was standing on the rear
platform. He said that the men picked
out by the city police ore not the guilty
parties, lie said, also, that strikers
gathered about the car four hundred
strong just as they were about starting
and began pelting them with stones and
some of them shot at them.
“We were sent down there,” said Cap¬
tain Joy, “to preserve the peace, not to
disturb it, but when some of my men
were fired upon hey returned it, think¬
ing perhaps that the lives of the em¬
ployees who were in their charge were in
danger. 1 was standing time on the rear plat¬
form of the train at the I rushed
into the train and ordered them to stop

until I came into the city.
William A. Pinkerton says he has am¬
ple proof that his men had did not fire fired upon
the crowd until they be 1 n up¬
on. t hades Beck, one of the men, wh ■
was in a car ahead of the one from which
the shooting was done, says the crowd
fired at least five shots before the fire
was returned. One of the bullets passed
through the car aud imbedded itself in
an opposite wall, Bricks and stones
were then thrown until the side of the
car was well battered up-
Mr. Pinkerton says the men had been
the subjects of constant assaults and
abuse while in the yards, and two of
them me now laid up with wounds that
fatal.

BUSINESS COMPLICATIONS.
Two Large Firms fn Nashville Closed Up.
Hirsch Bros. & Co., and llirseh &
Lowenstein, the former one of the largest
dry goods bouses south, were closed bv
attachments aggregating one hundred
aud fifteen thousand dollars. Malone A
Gaines, attorneys for Messrs. L eb &
Sebonefield, of New York, filed a trust
bill in chancery court against Hirsch
llros. & Co., for $2,208 17. Hirsch &
Lowenstein, clothiers closed their stores
and the sheriff took charge of the estab¬
lishment. The failure of these houses
created much excitement throughout the
city. Business men and all others who
held accounts against the firm hunted up
attorneys to represent them in the mat¬
ter of their claims. A large crowd sur¬
rounded the house soon al ter the an¬
nouncement was made, and the cause of
the failure were discussed in all their
lie a rings. In the meantime the customers
closed, were arriving, and finding the doors |
stood around to learn the facts.
By noon the sidewalk in front of the j
building was thronged with people. f
Many pressed their way close up to the
plate glass doors and peered in, but only
seeing the salesmen moving about with
their hands in their pockets, fell back to
allow others the same privilege. It was
a genuine sensation, though in commer¬
cial circles the failure was not unexpect¬
ed. The misfortune is regretted by their
many friends, who hope that they may
soon resume. The total liabilities are
$200,000. The assets are unknown, but
thought to be about $60,000.
THOMAS A. MIL.LKK KILLED.
Some time since Jake Hill rode by the
home of Mr. Joseph Miller, Sr., the fath¬
er of Mr. I homas A. Miller. Seeing 8
little grand child of Mr. Miller’s in the
yard, Hill threatening telling the girl “beat” that her she was a
liar and to grand
father if found, got down from his horse
and searched the house. OnW.dnesday
all congregated at Lotbair. Hill was
there, and Mr. Miller, although nearly
nearly eighty years of age, walked up to
him and told him that he had been in-
formed that he (Mill) wished to whip
him, and now, iLht there, they would
settle it by a fair fight Mr David Mil-
ler came to f is father’s aid, and when
Hill saw him coming he drew his knife
and said, with an oath, “I’ll kill you,”
Young Miller also drew his knife, but
before the combatants could come to-
gether Mr. Thomas A. M filer stepped up
nnd endeavored to separate them. When
Torn Miller came up. 1 J. Davis, stand-
ing near, said: “ritand back; don’t all
jump on Jake Hill.” Miller put his hand
on Davis’s breast and pushed him back:
wards. DaviB asked Miller what he had
to do with it, and Miller replied that he
wanted to se't'e the difficulty amicably,
at the same tin e turning his back to Da-
vis. Davis commenced firing on Miller
br soon bis back was turned, and Miller
retreated until the third shot from Davis
pistol lodged in the back of his neck,
ranging upward to the brain. Miller
lived only a few minutes after being
shot, and the only words spoken Davis was an
appeal for water. As soon as saw
that he had killed Miller, lie endeavored
to escape, but Mr. Joseph Miller, Jf.,
and Mr. David Yiiller, brothers of the
dead man, arrested him and brought him
back. The coroner being summoned, a
j ry was impnnneled, the verdict of
wch was “willful murder.”

Sad story is it that they tell
Of brave young knights whose hopes, alaar

Who found no wine within the glass.

To face the world; some weak of will ^
And some faint-hearted, feeble-lipped.
Fit but the lowest* posts to fill, j
Soon shivering with the coward’s chill,
And of the armor courage stripped. M

To gain fair honor's banneret,

Ministers who preach long sermons—
in the summer—will be interested in the
comments of their smallest hearers. One
of them, when asked what lesson was
was to be learned from the story of Paul
and Eutychus, replied: “Please, sir,
ministers should learn not to preach too
long sermons 1” Another, a little 4-year-
old, commented thus: “Mamma, that
minister preached me all to hunger 1 ”
A Bee In a Telephone.
The experience of telegraph operators,
inspectors and linemen brings them into
close acquaintance with all sorts and
conditions of faults in connection with
their work; tho variety of these faults is
wonderful, many stranger than fiction.
One of tho most curious in connection
with telephony which we have ever
known has just happened within the last
few days at a place called Moss Bay.
The lineman’s attention was called to the
circuit in question, as hewing was diffi¬
cult; on listening at the telephone he
heard a “sort of booming, which came
on intermittently, very much resembling
the distant roll of the tide, and which
rendered speaking and transmission of
work almost impracticable.” Having
satisfied himself by the usual methods
that the instrument was right and
the line free from induction, and that it
was not picking up vibrations, the con¬
clusion was arrived at that the fault
must be in the general office, Moss Bay.
An examination of the telephone appara¬
tus disclosed a novelty. A huge bee
was inside the telephone, and, in trying
tc make good its escape, it had become
fixed between the sounding board and
microphone, and it had hummed to the
extent of interfering with the human
organs of the circuit. How the bee
came there the lineman cannot say,
whether by accident or design he knows
not, but the bee was the cause of the
fault. In concluding his report, the
lineman candidly states: “I have met
some very tedious and technical faults in
connection with various telephone ap¬
paratus, but I never was done with a bee
before.”— Mechanical World.
A Peculiar Tree.
Fresno and the colonies surrounding
the town arc well supplied with beauti¬
ful and attractive ornamental shrubbery,
in addition to the endless variety of
fruit trees and vines. Among the orna¬
mental trees is found one peculiar to this
section, and at present fouud in no
other portion of the state in any num¬
bers. We refer to the imported “um¬
brella” tree, introduced by a local nur¬
seryman. This tree is shaped as near
like an umbrella as it is poss.ble for a
plant to come, hence its name. There
are hundreds of them in this section, all
presenting a most attractive appearance,
and several individual specimens in this
c ty which are the pride of their owners.
One in the dooryard of F. H, Bail is a
beauty, and as a shade tree is perfection
itself. It is now only 5 1-2 years old
from the seed, is eighteen feet iu height,
twenty-eight feet from tip to tip of its
branches, and its trunk is two feet and
eight inches in circumference two feet
above the ground. Its shade is as dense
as a jungle, not a particle of the sun’s
rays ever reaching the ground through
its foliage,— Freene (Oai.) Republican.
