ITS ALL OVER.
The Great Strike is Appear
uitly a Thing of the Past,
THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Universally Refused to Obey Sovereigns
Orders And Quit Their Jobs. Trains

Condition.
Chicago July 11, — It is reported
that when the federal grand jury con
da les its investigation of the Ameri
can Railway Union it will begin an
inquiry into the policy and methods
of ihe General Managers' Association
Among tiie leaders of the workingmen
the charge has been made openly
and repeatedly that the obstruction
of United States mails and the inter
ruption ol interstate commerce were
due quite as much to the general
managers as to the railway union.
It has been stated that the general
managers agreed among themselves
that no trains should be run on either
road till a 1 ! had gained their print ß
iu ui ß pute with the men. This was
dene, it is argued, to hold back such
companies as showed an inclination
to treat with its employes and bring
about a resumption of traffic on its
own lines.
It is asserted by the men that they
can prove that telegrams were sent
out from the General Manageas Asso
elation ordering certain railroad.lines
to send out no trains till a designated
sc. erne had been accomplished. All
this, the men assert, is as clear a ease
of conspiracy on the art of the Gen
eral Managers Association as the acts
of Debs and his associates, rendering
them indictable for conspiracy.
Judge Grosecup and District At
torney Milehrist haye said that
justice will be meted out impar
tially to all violators of the federal
statutes.
Under a subpoena duces 'tecum the
headquarters of the railway union
were raided last evening while Debs,
Howard, Kelihes an I others were
awaiting in the district attorney* s
office to complete their bond and all
of the official papers of the union
that could be found were seized. In
the general sweep Deb's personal
mail was carried away by the officers
from the district attorney's office-
Deb* s mail was today returned to
him by order of Judge Grosscup
who declared the seizure to be illegal
BVCXBONE AND NECK BOTH BROKKN.

‘ The b*ck of the strike is stot only

GOVERNOR HOGG ON THE STRIKE.
Austin, Tex, July 11.—The
strike to take place on Texas rail
roads today failed to materialize
here, and trains tonight drawing
Pullmans left as usual, Talking
to prominent railroad men and
locomotive engineers here tonight,
they say they have no idea the
strike in Texas will amount to
much •
There was some lawlessness
last night at Galveston , and Gov
ernor Hogg tonight, for tiie benefit
ot strikers, made public
lowiug:
“I hope this strike will not
prove serious. Realy, there is no
cause lor one. Almost every road
in Texas is under contract to draw
Pullmans, and if a strike iu Tex
as was to prove successful, Pull
man will make the roads pay him
umtvy damages. The state of Tex
as is amply able ai.d will, so long
12 I Cl V tm Sl■/A r- t<> < • ci Vi <1 ■. ,1
as 1 am governor, take a hand
against and suppress any man or
set of men, who undertake to over
throw the law and destroy prop
erly, franchises and rights to the
protection of which the whole peo
ple stand pledged by their state
and federal constitutions. Rail
roads, railroad tr.-ins, railroad
hands and railroad strikers, and
all olber people as well, shall have
their rights duly protected to the
lull extent of the law by local and
state authority. It is well for every
body to understand this at the
outset. The law is supreme in
Texas, and will remain so. I ap
prehend no serious trouble over
the much-talked—of strike in
Texas.
NO RESPONSE FROM THE SOUTH.
Charleston, 8. C., July li.—
There is no organization here of
the Knights of Labor as far as the
public knows, and no attempt to
obey Sovereign's order to strike.
No labor troubles are apprehended
here.
Savannah, Ga., July 11. — The
only labor organization in Savan
nah is the trades assembly, which
has taken no recognition of Sov
ereigns order. There is no excite
ment here and no disposition
among laboring men to strike.
Montgomery, Ala. July 11. —
There is no Knights of Labor or
ganization so far as the public
knows, consequently Sovereigns
order had no effect. Everything
is quiet here,
Jacksonville, Fla., July 11.—
Sovereign's strike order fell flat in
Florida. The Knights ot Labor
simply ignored it. Sovereign was
down here some months ago and
announced in a public speech that
organized labor in this state was
in excellent condition . The labor
' era seem to agree with him, for
they manifest no disposition to
strike.

shops, to draw some asphaltum.
The Asphaltum is kept in an iro®
hooped barrel, ami is drawn thmrp??
the bung which has a lip atiatiwA
on the lower side The barrel is-racfc;
edon its side and as the asphal
turn was low, Ruger says that he Stftd
turned the barrel aud struck a tuakok
and put it near the iip of the
so that he could see inside, .
The match applied to the freshly
bung touched off the benz’a©
gas which was escaping and the ex -
plosion resulted.
Mr George says he heard the noise
and heard Huger cry" Papa! Papa!
and rushed from the shop yards to

mounting to the roof.
