Chicago, July ".Shortly after 7 a. m. a nioh heKan to gather in the I'nioti stock yards, west llalstcail street, where a train of beef was standing, Capt. llartz with two companies of I'uited States infantry drove the crowd from the yards and established a dead line L'UO feet from the cars. Today's incendiarism began in a new (uartcr, in the Chicago, Hiulinnton and Otiiney gwitcIiiiiK yards at Crawford, 111. A dozen freight c.irsin the yards were burned there (his morning at day liKht. President lichs was sa ved today wilh an injunction issued by thct'nilcd States courts, made some days aco. At 11: lo a. m. word was tclcplioiiid to Capt. D'.Ncillol the sioek yards station that n mob of nearly :i,0(l(l men were destroying the stalion and round house of the Citand Truiih i ;iib oad com pany at lO'.h and Johnston streets. A company of Uill) men of the State mil itia started lor the scene ill the trouble at once. lust before daybical a mob of nearly a thousand entered the yards ot the Monon road at .1:1,1 and Wallace streets and set lire to height cars standing mi the tracks, A Fiiiad of police quenched the flames. The mob closed on the offi cers and a hand-to-hand light, raged' lor several minutes. Policemen sent a hall dozen volleys into the mob. As men 1,11 tl.ey wcic quickly dragged b.-ek ami cs enped tinder cover of darkness. The oo lite nrrcstul lour ol the mob who were charged with rioting. A lew moments alter 1 MM a. m. today a mob numbering GO" tore up the main truck ol the Pan Handle roa I at l ilticth street. The police charged them, but were met with a volley ol pistol shots. The police did not lire, but succeeded by renewed charge in dispersing the crowd. The second regiment wort to -1-7 1 li street and acted as guards lor the Pan Handle tracks. The federal authoriti.s have detirm- ined upon a decided move against the strikers which ni.ay risiik in baited States troops liring upon the mobs. I nited States Marshal Arnold andt'.en. Miles hud a consultation this morning al(niilitary headquarters at d it as de cided to send troops to all the roads vhicli are tied-up, und clear the yards and tracks. The plan agreed upon Is to send one company of troops to each of the depots along with forty deputy marshals. The trains will then be started on each ol the roads ami the military and marshals will clear the yards and tracks of the crowds. The soldiers will have orders to lire upon any otic who disobeys the Older to leave rail road property. Marshal Arnold, alter conferring with Hen. Miles, returned to his office in the government building and issued orders for the matching ol depu ties to the depots. "We have decided to clear the yards," said Marshal Arnold, 'audit will be done at any cost. The soldiers will have orders to fire if the crowds don't disperse. The govcrnmtnt troops w ill stand no nonsense, lor thttr orders ate explicit." The building trades coiireilhas decided in favor of a strike. The council repre sents L.'ollil( organized win kingmen.

Six licait Men unci Mcort h of Cart. Uiiriicl Chicago, July 7. Six dead men and an indefinite number ol injured is the tc cord of casualties in the strike conflicts in Chicago yesterday. The developments of yesterday go far toward convincing nil tliinkinj; people that the gravity ol the situation had not been appreciated by the authorities or the people at large. Persons who wire here during the railroad strike of 1S77, who saw the atmosphere clear preccpti bly when no more than eighty bronzed and husky regulars fiom the plains marched down Madison street and went into camp on the lake trout, wagged their heads knowingly when three tunes that many were oidcred Irom Port Slier idan, composing the three arms ot the service, mid said they would make short work of Pebs' followers, Hut niter 11! hours of as patient and persistent coolness and bravery under as trying circumstances as were ever seen, the same citizens and the ollicers in com mand were lotccd to admit that things were not as they were in 77, anil that it was still a long march to pence and the resumption of unimpaired traffic on any ol the railroads lending out ol Chi cago. The developments have confirmed the conviction that not lung short ol an over whelming armed force with instructions to shout tu kill can settle the trouble; or. as Colonel Crolton put it, "It has ceased .to be a mere movement of troops, and has become a earupaigu." The local and State a'lthoritcs have awakened to the critically grave nature of the strike malady which is alllicting the nation generally, but Chicago in particular, and are taking measures to apply adiquate u-nicdics. The police force litis already been recruited tip to over M.UHOmcii, and by request of Mayor Hopkins and by order of l iovernor Alt geld, two brigades ol State militia have been ordcrid here to aid in quilling the disturbances. IllltNINi; CARS. The Work of Ot-Htrui' Ion went on I'lit-hecltecl. ClliCM-.o, I uly 7. Shortly after .". o'clock yesterday afternoon immense crowds of men, women and bovs came from the stockyards toward the net work of tracks at the crossing of Forty Seventh street. They were the stock yards crowd and the lew police who re mained on duty were utterly powerless. "Powu the tracks!" was the cry, and with a tush the mob started southward. Hunches of waste were stolen bom switchmen's shanties and soaked with the "dope" used in oiling cars and made an excellent torch. At 17th street live cars standing on the I '.rami Trunk track were lirsl to meet destruction. Seals were broken and doors slid back. A bunch of burning waste thrown inside quickly ignited the contents, and in less than three minutes the five cars were blazing fiercely. Then the crowd surged on. They kept to the Pan Handle tracks and at -l'.ith street came upon six more cats. These were fired in a twinkling and on went the crowd. They suddenly stopped their incendiarism and turned their attention to tearing up switches. Altera number had been rendered useless, the mob eon liuued on its wny southward. At ."Nth street is situated the station house nl the combined roads. This was lircd and quickly destroyed, as were also -111 loaded cars. All were soon in a mass ol flumes. I'pon the approach of the fire and police departments the mob turned about and started for the city. On their way to 47lh street they set fire to all the cars that thev bail missed on their tripsouth ward. No water could be obtained near the Garfield Iioulcvurd yards and the cars were slowly burned up. It was noticed that the leaders of the mob were tip stly foreigners and as they retraced their steps a lew ol the lenders, atcom panicd in- hundreds, started of in the direction of the stock yards where ;i."iu cars in the yards were completely des troyed. Two hundred and twciilv-fivc freight cars on the Panhandle tracks between l-orty-hlih and l-'iltv-ninth streets a distance of about one mile were totally destroyed by lire between the hours of (i and S o'clock last night. Htrlke Notes. Gov. l'ishhnck litis called on Arkansas ollicers to arrest strike leaders. At OioO o'clock last night K!.-, switch men quit work on the Nashville, Chat tanooga ami St. bonis road at Nash ville. At Spokane, Washington, the strikers tore upthctraclis ol the Northern I'acilic, there being nearlv loiiil men at work removing the tracks. S. K. Ritchie, a special policeman cm ploicd by the Pittsburg, Port Wayne and Chicago road, at Chicago, was stoni.dtoileatlibvatuob.it the 1'ill.y Sevcnth meet crossing of that road.

Hens have been krown to crow and their gallant gallinaceous attendants have even bien accused of setting prob ably when thoroughly hen pecked. In tact, the agricultural editor ol '1 tit: ClT tziix has long maintained that he once owned a hen thai knew at least live dilfereut words, and afterwards died of chicken-pox. Hut all this pales into absolute insig nilicance when compared to a statement brought Irom Canton, N. C, by 1). M.

The meeting of the Hoard of Aldermen was set for .j o'clock instead of 3, yester day afternoon. When the town clock struck the hour appointed, Aldermen Hull, 11. Lamar Gudger and Redwood were well into a discussion with H. C. Fagg as to the best way in which to talk through a telephone. Mayor Pat ton was also on hand. At the request of Mayor Patton un Thursday night, at the meeting of the School Hoard, Chairman West appointed a com mittcc of three to be present al the meeting of the Hoard ol Aldermen on yesterday afternoon. The Mayor ex plained that the rcqutst was niade on account of important questions that would seriously allcct the schools. The committee appointed were Messrs. Hickcrson and Powell and Hr. J. Hey Williams. The first and last were promptly on hand. W. W. oncs ar rived at 5: 10 und at 5:1.1 City Attor ney Sondlcy arrived. Alderman J. M, Gudgcraiid Mr. Powell wen- absent. The Mavor called the meeting to order at o:17. The minutes of the last meeting were read, with the exception ol some reports ot the Street and Finance committee, which were omitted at the suggestion of Messrs. Jones and Red- woo.i on account ol lack of tune, and being approved, the Hoard got down to active business. The Mayor stated that be had re itiesttd that members of the school com mittee be present, owing to the nature I tlie litismess that would come be fore lilt- meeting and its bearing on the schools for the coming session. e then read a letter rom l air ,V Co. of New York, which was received on Saturday last, in which they stated that on advice of legal counsel they could not ittKc tlie city lionils. 1 lie Mavor said that he and City At- toruev Sondlcy immediately started for New York on receipt of this news, lie then called ou Mr. S indley for a state ment as to the results of the trio. Mr. Sondlcy said that on arriving in New York he went with a member of the firm of Hlair ,V Co. and talked to their law yers. The lawyers quoted to him one decision of a court outside ol North Carolina in which bonds of this nature had been decided illegal, though there were three dissenting judges to this opinion. ( in the other hand Mr. Sond ley quoted to them a good many decis ionsseveral from this State, and also several text writers in which such bonds issued in like manner, had been declared entirely legal. He quoted several ol thise and stud there were many more. These will nil be quoted in tlie briel )l reports winch will oe printed nt once lor use by the city. Mr. Sondlcy said that the attorneys idni'tted that the city had the nowcr to borrow money, but denied that it had the legal power to issue bonds lor such indebtedness. They admitted that they believed that the North Carolina courts would declare such issuance legal, basing their bclicl on previous decisions in this State. Hut thev contended that should the matter conic bclore the I 'nited States courts in suit, the Federal court would revets.- the decision of the State courts. Mr. Sondlcy replied that where cases of such a nature had conic before the I nited States courtsthev had invariablv held themselves bound by the State courts, even when different Stales had decided dilfcrcntly, and that such was their rtcognized and invariable rule ot construction, "Where the construction given by the highest court ol a State to the Constitution or a statute of the State has been uniform anil is settled, it is binding on the courts ol the 1'nitcil States as a rule ol decision." I'ndcr this rule the North Carolina decisions upon North Carolina stittut.es, having invari iblv hehl such bonds to be valid, the I'uited Slates courts would be bound to so bold on every question involving the validity of bonds issued by a North Carolina imiaitipalilv. I he attorneys replied that this was not a statutory construction, but was simply the application to North Carolina statutes of a general rule of statutory interpretation. Mr. Sondlcy insisted i that statutory interpretation was. and could be, applied to a statute of general rules ol statutory interpretation, and that the distinction attempted to be made was one without a diflcrence. He believes that there would be do ditlicultv whatever in disposing ol the bonds, so tar as this quibble is concerned. I luring Mr. Sondlcy s speech Chairman West, of the school board, entered the room. The Mayor stated that the situation was certainly a very serious one, nnd most serious us it affected the schools. lie stud that the school committee had reported to the Hoard of Aldermen in the spring that unless the schools were re lieved ol their heavy burden of debt it would he impossible to continue them during the coming session. Mr. Jones asked what amount was necessary to carry on the schools. .Mayor 1'atton answered that the schools owed $111,0011. Mr. Jones; "We are satisfied that our bonds are perfectly legal. Why -n't we run these schools whether our bonds are funded right now or not ?" Mr. Hickcrson stated that there were pressing debts that must be met without delay, and in large amounts. "Some Hung must lie done,' he added, "or the schools must close for la.-k ol hinds." Mr. Jones "Schools arc necessary expenses and we can help the committee liy relieving them of actual pressing in debtcibiess, nnd so allow the amount given to the committee by taxation to be devoted entirely to the running ex penses of the schools. Weniust keep our scimuis open, it wouitl oc a terrible calamity to the city to close them, Thev should be kept un to their present effi ciency at nil hazards. My proposition is inai uic noarti oi Alilcrmen Help the committee to tne extent that is necessary to tide over the debts that arc tvrcssine." Alter lurthcr discussion Mr. Hickcrson stiggisted thnt the Mavor meet n mem bcr of the Hoard in committee and come to a dtltnitc understanding. The Mayor suggested that the finance committee meet one or more members of the school board. Chairman West appointed Mr. Dick- orson, for that purpose. The members of the school committee then left the room. On the petition ol Redmon & Bros., presented at the previous meeting of the VONTIMUliD ON SUCOND PAOB.J PASKOLA.
