lievin;; the Situation Critical, Apucais to

nientg Quartered at the stork Yards ami
the Striking Butchers In the Main Or
derly.
Chicago, Nov. 8.—There was consid
erable excitement but little violence at
ilie stock yards this morning. Deputy
sheriffs and Lake police were patroling
tlie houses and railroad tracks, dispersing
all assemblages and anticipating any at
tempts of crowds to gather. Outside of
the yards large crowds of strikers had
assembled in every avenue of approach.
Determined efforts were made to prevent
the men on their way to work from
entering the yards. Every individual w ho
approached, whether known as a
neighbor or stranger was quickly sur
rounded and questioned as to iiis inten
tions. Those who came with dinner
pails on their arms were set upon, their
pails taken from them aud in many cases
severe beatings administered. Few suc
ceeded in running the gaum let and iiain
lng access to tile packing houses, ex
cept under pretense of having other busi
ness than the killing of cattle and hogs
on hand.
At Armour’s house slaughtering was
joing oil with mixed gangs of men, many
• if the old hands being still at work, and
they and the new men were engaged side
bv side, the best of feeling prevailing be
tween them.
The houses of Swift and Morris were
running,as on Saturday, with light forces
of new men. No other houses appear to
be running. Of the twenty thousand
men on strike, to judge from expressions
heard, a large majority are plea-ed
rather than otherwise at the calling out
of the militia.
“This,” said one man of a group on
Halstead street, “is a strike, and a Dad
one; bnt the greatbuik of us want it to
proceed decently. The presence of the
militia will preserve order and keep un
der an element that our committees can
not control. Bloodshed and r!ot is the
worst thing that can happen. The hot
heads are against the militia, but decent
men are in their hearts glad of their ap
pearance.”
At the yards now two packing-houses
have been turned into boarding house*.
Ranges have gone in and cooks have
been employed by the mouth. The pack
ers say that this big boarding-house,
capable of housing 2,000 men, will be one
of the prominent fe uures of the winter.
Eigiu hundred militiamen left the Lake
Shore depot at half-past ten o’clock this
morning for the stock yards. They were
under command of General Fitzsimmons
and Colonels Knox and Wheeler. Tticii
orders were to disi*m'>«.-k at Thirtv-nipiii
oiicci/.iiul march to Ferguson’s packing
house, which is to be their barracks and
headquarters. All seemed in good spirits, j
the opinion prevailing that there will be |
no active duty required,tne moral effect of j
their presence rendering patrol duly snf- :
tleieut to preserve lire peace and protect j
property. The First regiment carried
their Gatling gun.
Springfield, 111., Nov. 8.—The Gov
ernor has telegraphed orders to General !
Fitzsimmons of the Second Brigade lili- j
nois National Guards to have the First j
and Second regiments in readiness for
l’ackingtown in the event of trouble tiiere
to-day.
NO BLANK CARTRIDGES.
Governor Oglesby says he does not
caic to talk about the strike or the ac
tion he has taken in ordering out the
militia. He appears to be aware of the
gravity ot the situation, and there is no
doubt lie will act promptly and effectual- ;
ly to preserve tiie peace and protect life 1
and property.
A gentleman present at the interview j
with Sheriff Hanchett, savs: “The Sher
iff represented to the Governor that there j
were Hi,000 men on strike at the Chicago |
stock yards and lie was ut'crly power- ;
less to cope with such a body of !
strikers with the force at his com- j
in and. He considered it of the utmost j
importance that the militia should be or- ,
tiered out at once, and made a demand !
lo the Governor for assistance. The
Governor issued the order lor the a*- j
embling of two regiments, and no blank j
cat fridges will be used.” - j
Sbetiff Hanchett and Senator Campbell
both declined lo talk about the situation.
Assistant Adjutant-Gener d Ewert says:
‘•Sheriff Hanchett informed Governoi
Oglesby that it would do no good to
swear in deputy sheriff* in citizen-’
dollies, as they had no effect against the ,
strikers. He was sati*fiea no other
course but to order out the militia would ,
beeffective, and asked forfour regiments,
but the Governor thought he would starl
with two.”
All is quiet at ihe yard*. Mr. Join j
Cudahy says: “The peri! will be now in ;
getting the men to their ironies at night
and from their homes in the morning

Washington, Nov. 8.—It is quite pos

have to change their habits this winter
and walk through nothing but the avenue
of rectitude. Mr. Cleveland’s new chief
of police is about entering up >n a svs
tern of espionage to be placed over the

and Two Thought to be itlortuily
Wounded.
Cutiibeut, Ga., Nov. G.—Sheliman, fa
miliarly known as Ward’s Station, iu this
county, was to-day the seem of a dastard
ly attempt upon the port of a lamiiy of
negroes to take the lives of several 61 the
best citizens of that place, ui which they
partially succeeded, aud in which one of
their number was shot xlead on the. spot.
Mr. G orge Oliver, one of the best citizens
of the | lace,is postmaster, ex press'agent
and telegraph operator, fa which he is< s
sjsicd by liis son Joe, u young loan just
attaining to manhood. Yesterday a negro
girl named Francis 'Co email went to l he
depot to look alter a box. While.there
she took offense at son .etiiiilg, and return
ing home, a half mile from the sta ion, re
ported tiie matter to her brothers, two
young bucks, who at once determined to
resent t he wounded dignity of their sister.
Arming themselves this morning with
sticks aid knives, they repaired to tho
depot, and, seeking out Joe Oliver, at au
opportune time, set upon him suddenly,
plunging a kuife into his throat, which
did its ghostly work well, cutting a gush
from ear to ear, from w hich the blood
shot ten feet high. When they had ac
complished thi-ir diabolical deed they lied
for home. At this juncture Jesse Oliver,
a brothei- of George, and an uncle of tho
unfortunate lad whose throat was cut, ac
companied by the lather, appeared on the
grounds. They at once gave pursuit, and
were uot long in overtaking the demons at
or near their home. The mother, i n old
negress, ran out with a-musket,-handed it
to one of her sons, and commanded him to
shoot. lie did so, and at the crack of ill
gun Jesse Oliver fell from hi horse. The
negro girl7 the instigator of the whole af
fair, ran forw ard, seized the musk-1, and
clubbed him over kho bead, completely
shattering the slock of th'o gun and crush
ing in the skull of Mr. Oliver. The effect
of the s ot was to shatter his left arm
from the elbow up to the shoulder, and at
latest reports physicians are preparing to
taka it off. When Mr. Oliver was shot
fioin his horse one of tint negro meu was
shot dead in his tracks. One escaped into
the woods, and, it is said, w as lost bjr the
pursuing party. The third negro man,
the girl and the old woman were brought
to this place this evening by a i eav.v
guard. Their cases will be investigated
Monday. Iu the meantime Judge Clark
has ordered a heavy guard to be placed
around be jail day und night by way of
protection, as the outraged public might
attempt to take tho law into their hands.
It is thought young Oliver will.die, while
Jesse is in a precarious.condition.

The end must come soon. The railroa l

now, after weeks of agony, come to tire

or death. His-disease, an affection of the
bladder, has troubled him for many years,
and only last summer at Karatoga,.he urf-*
derwent a very dangerous operation in
the hope of complete recovery. For ovir a '
month past he has-been in tho Broadway,
room, his whereabouts known to a. few
friends only, and every visitor absolutely
excluded. Ex-Gov. Curtin was not aware
of the fact when he intimated some time *
since that Mr. Hoxie was unwilling
though able, to appear before the Central
Labor Committee. The very day that
Gov. Curtin made that statement Mr.
Hoxio lay weak and Unconscious, Very i

Cixci.vn ati, O., November 0.—Tho Eu*
qnirer’s Washington correspondent tele*
graphs that the loss of Mr. Morrison
will be seriously ielt as a leader of revertuo
reiorm, and will emb-.rrass the Speaker of
the fiftieth Congress not a little to select
bis successor. Breckinridge, o: Kentucky,
is well * quipped, but he iif now only on his
first term with the eomrubtee, and his
elevation to the first place would cause
j‘ alousies which a Speaker would hardly
care to arouse. It is more than prob ilde
that 8. S. Cox will be Mr. Morrison’s suc
cessor. The abun lance, of now .aterial
iu the next House will make it quite < asv
for the Speaker to satisfy the demand© < f
t ie old members returned. They can all
be well plac-d. It is quite protial Id‘that
