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 done firing.

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.

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.” THE WOOL CLIP.

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.
