Chicago, July 17. The report that ad ditional proceedings wore likely to be taken by the Federal authorities against Preeidctit Debs and hisassociate officers nftfc Amjijaa Railway Union l ed the tfffict of bringing a big crowd to uic Uaiit d Stites Circuit Court room in the goveriiineat building this mcrcing. Judge Seamans, of Milwaukee, presided in the absence of Judge Grosseup. Debs ) was present at the opening of the court, accompanied by W. W. Erwia, the crim inal lawyer of Bt. Paul; VY. A Shoe maker, of St. Paul, Erwin's law associate, and S.S Gregory, of this city, who was the leading counsel of Prendergasi in tbe lunatic proceedings that follow ed thet aasaasin's conviction, wao hr.s been retained a& special counsel for the Union. As soon as a few minor cases had been disposed of, Gregary Btepped to the bar, sorjc unced the presence of Debs and in quired whether the hearing was to go on to-dt;.- Jtidge tfeamans replied that the case would proceed as soon as District AU.isn'y MilahrUt was ready. At 11 n'cl eh the district attorney, accom pin it d by Edwin Waiker, special coun sel for the government, and George R Peck, special counsel for the Santa Fo road, appeared in the court room, and Judge Seamane ordered that the case on htAricg be summarily postponed, re marking t: Mr. Walker: "The situation is Eueh tbat your matter should be taken path uacf." Spccii! Counsel Walker then opened the proceedings proper withabrief state ment. He said that he was desirous of prcs ing to the court an information agaiust certain people on behalf of the United ttates government and to ask that an attachment bo issued for the per sons named therein. In addition, anoth er information was offered ir. behalf of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe road, this road being in the haada of United Stfctss receivers. The information in be uaif of the government, ho said, set forth tbat on July 2 J Judges Wood and Gross cap i; sited an injunction restraining Debs aud his associates from inter fering with inter-State commerce or with tho transportation of United States mails, or from exercising terror or vio lence .ii-aiast railroad employes engaged in tttei.- '-i rk. Personal service cf this ii jii 't made on the defendants c-' s r:-A, but in spite of it they contin ued 1 j ci!l out men, and order strikes on iiae-j vhutu !lc city of Chicago and the district adj.icetit to and within the juri diction -t the court. This had contin ued daily, aad it might be said hourly, and the -f 'ter juacnt desired Bach action !u J fittcU puaUhtueat as the couit might si-u Ut The lengthy information was then read by District Attorney Milchrift. It sets forth the facts already scheduled and quoted scores of t-jlcgrama seat by Debs after the injunction had been issued. These havu never bc-cu published and had evidently coaie iato the possession of the government within a few hours under circumstances mat the couasel would not exphiin Sr:mo were addressed to Phe ian, the Cincinnati organizsr just sen tenced for contempt by Judge laft; oth ers to V. McAu'i'Te, at Milwauket ; others to Livingston, Alontana; others to era ployes of the Chicago, Burlintt ja & IJain cy, Chicago eV Eastern Idinoi?, Big Four urd Santa Fe railroads. Ail urge the men to gei -ut and stay out. One dispatch read: "It will take more than iajunc tions to move trains. Gtt men out." This was addressed to W. F. Smith, Grand Junction, Colorado. Many other dispatches were of the same tenor. One said: ' Do not be frightened by troops, injunctions or the subsidized press. Cail your men out. This ia a contest of plu tocracy against the masses and we will win and protect our supporters The couit interfered at this point with the suggestion that it did not want to hear any more dispatches. Enough had been read to indicate a persistent viola tion of the i: junction. Then the district attorney proceeded to read a resume of ihelos3 of property occasioned by the mob during the past two weeks, of as saults upon engineers, firemen and others who coatiaued at work, and of inter ruptions of traffic that had occurred since the in junction had gone into effect. Presideat Debs listened with close atten tion. Tbe reading of the information occupied over one hour and with its con clusion the district attorney contended that the defendants were clearly in con tempt and should be attached and pun ished. Then General Couasel Peck, cf the Santa Fe road, stepped to the b r and read another long information chirgirg the defendants with interference wita the op erations of that road and likewise asking for a contempt attachment The court asked the defendants if they were represented by counsel and Gregory responded. He said that Debs was in ctmrt voluntarily, although it was under stood that it would ba an ex parte exami nation. The government did not deem it best to charge either of the four de fendants with personally participating in the violence, nor had a case been stated that was cognizible in a rule of equity. With considerable heat Gregory said that he did not understand that the govern ment's information was for the protec tion of the railroads or that the move ment was to be used as an agency to vin dicate the property rights of railroads. That seemed to be what Peck wanted but it would be very unfortunate if any ac tion of the court gave color to that claim. The entire country was con cerned in this matter, and it must be kept free of bias. Walker responded that the govern ment did not propose to protect railroad property except so far as inter-State commerce and the mails were concerned. To this tho judge added: "We are not here for any otner purpose. " Continuing Walker said that the gov ernment represented all the people, the defendants included, and it would lend its authority to the protection of railroad property within the lines in dicated. Finally the court cut the dis cussion short by ordering the issuance of attachments (or contempt against Debs, Howard, Keliher and Rogers, but in structed the United States marshal to waive service on the understanding that the defendants would voluntarily sur render at the bar of the court at 2 o'clock this afternon. When the court nut at 2 o'clock, How ard, Kelihietr and Rogers were present but President Deba was not on hand. His name was called and there being no response it was decided to stay proceed ings until hu put in an appearance. The attorneys were beginning to get a trifle impatient when at 8:20 Deb3 came into comt panting for breath. Then Attor ney Erwia asked the indulgence of fire minutes for consultation and the court acquiesced. After this the presence of tho defendants was announced to the bench. Attorney Erwin exploded a bombshell by Etaticg that if the defend ants were compelled to give bail on the charge of contempt they would go to jail, for tho bail already ittmanded on the indictment found in the district court had exhausted their ability in thst direttiort. Unless the court accepted their own recognizances, then it was a matter of jail and nothing else. Erwin made an impassioned speech, saying that at tbe proper time, the indict ment would be demurred to and the issue would be riised whether the unchecked operations of capitalistic tyrrany could introduce the methods of a British mon archy. These men had never committed any act of violence. The conscience of the couit w&s b?ing whipped to resort to extreme and unjustifiable methods. Judge Seaman set the trial cf thecon tempt caseB for Monday morning at 10 o'clock He fixed the additional bail at $3 000 each and ordered the four men held in custody of the United States mar shal us til tbe sureties had been approv ed At 3:15 p. m., after a caaforonesi with the-ir attorneys, Debs announced for himself and the three other defendants thst they would go to jail and refuse to give additional bail on the ground that iheir bondsmen iu the other cases had boi-E to bitterly attacked by the press that they felt a great deal of hesitancy in asking any more citizens to go addi tional bsdi for thtm. A sore or more of friends clustered around them, urgicg them to reconsider th:i (lete-rireirtatiohi. Oac of tbe number said th-t ho was worth half 3 million dollars and would go bail for the entire quartette. Others offered to become in aividual surety for the several defend ants. Debs, however, was obdurate, and in his determination he wa supported by his associates In the meantime, the or ders of committment -were made out by the clerk of the court. Marshal Arnold had been summoned, and with him, te brought Deputies J. W. Forsythe and G. U. Jones. A final effort was made to induce the defendants to accept the offers of their friends, but without result. At half past 4 Marsha! Arnold escorted them tj an open carriage in which they were driven to the county jail on fforth Side. Arnold sat with the arrested men while the two deputies shared seats with the driver. Oa their arrival at the jail the prisoners were courteously received by Jailor Morris and Jail Clerk White. The marahai did the introductory honors and the prisoners shook hands cordi ally with their new custodian. At the demand of the turnkeys they held up their hands and submitted to a search. T hey were deprived of all valuables and then led to spacious and roomy cells in the debtors' department. President Debs and Vice Prctuient Howard were as signed to No. 5, and Rogcre and Keiiher to No. ti. It was arranged with the jail eflicials that mea'B should be Eerved from a neighboring restaurant, and the prison ers were then left alone for the night. Strikers Meet to Ascertain the Lay of the Laud Cnfvorable for Tli 111 Chicago, July IT. A largely attended mee'.iDg of railroad strikers was held in I'niich'd Hall to day t .) ho-ir the reports of the committees select .-d to report the ttitus of the striKt- on lac r ads tjey formerly workad 't S jme of the re ports were not as icdicativ of success c.s the leaders expected A former Nickel Plate employee reported that moie than half the strikers had returned to work ; The majority of the strikers are now j switchmen, t rackmen and shop-workers. A committee of Illinois Central strikers j from Harvey asked for an order to return j to work, but permission was refused. Vice j President Howard made a speech ia 1 Ahica be claimed that four-fifths of the I switchmen, trackmen aad shopmen were j still out; 40 per cent, cf the engineers and 25 per cent, cf the firemen. He de- j clared that the roads were operating 90 I per cent, of the passenger trains and 25 ! per cent, of freight. He closed by saying: "Mr. Rogers aad I havo got to go into j court now, and it ia possible thst we may ; have to go to j il . We can even be kept j there, though a writ of habea3 corpus i may liberate us. ihe way to end this j thing is for every woraingmac in Chi- : cago to drop his tools, complying with j the law, however." Brutal Attac ks of Strikers on Workers. 1 Foht Wayne, Ind., July 17. The j new men employed on the Fort Wayne railroads, in the yards and as trainmen, are hourly subjected to most brutal as saults from discharged men. Lbs: night Arthur Baldwin, a .Nickel Piate switch man, was found in the yard insensible. Three other ewitchmen and a call boy were violently stoned. Thi3 morning Conductor Mulcahy.of the Pennsylvania, was knocked down by a large rock and kicked in the face. Three switchmen in the Pennsylvania yards were clubbed and relieved of lanterns.

The ac cused were placed under $500 b jnd each and personal recognizmce. The com missioner said: "I have no doubt as to the connection of the accused with the conspiracy. Hurley had said that if he had twenty minutes more he would have tied up every road in the city, but, thank God, he had not those twenty minutes and instead of the roads being tied up, he is tied up himself."

Montgomery fur Henderson and Long The Two Lattr Will He Nominated. Special to the Observer. States ville, July IT. Y'adkin county Democratic convention was held Satur day and news received from there last night shows that the county has gono largely for Henderson for Congress and Armfield for judge. Henderson will re ceive 18: of the 21 votes of the county and Armfield 20 and a fraction. As Yadkin is Judge Armlield's old home it was expected to go for him almost solid ly aad the news so far as he is concerned was no surprise Bat Turner's friends has confidently claimed the county for hira while Henderson's friends had not claimed it. The news, therefore, that Henderson had carried it almost solidly was aii agreeable surprise to his friends ia Iredell and a very disagreeable sur prise to the friondj of Turner. Montgomery county primaries were held Saturday, and private advices re ceived here to day indicate thst Mont gomery has gone almost solidly for Lang for judge and HenderEon for Con gress. Nine tow; ships, including the largest in the county, are practically solid for Long. Long's friends here have all the time concectd Iredell and Y'adkin counties to Judge Armfield, and claimed the other live c; unties in the dittrict for Long Results so far indicate the correctness of this claim. In fact, Judge Armfield's friends here concede Long's nomination There is nrf'shadow of a doubt about it. Hf nderson, too, is nominated on the fi't.t billot All the false claims of other candidates cannot change the result. Yadkin will vote for one of its own couaty men, D. M. Reece, for solicitor.

FUSERAL OF JAMKS W. BI MPLK. It la Now Believed That His Math Was Caused by a Stroke of Lightning. Special to the Observer. Salishi bv, Jaly 17. The latt solemn respects were paid to tbe memory of James W. Rumple to day, and his mortal remains were consigned to their final resting place. A sadder funeral was never soen in Salisbury. Nature seemed in sympathy with the grief-stricken to-doy, and all during the sorrowful morning tears fell from the clouds in unison with those that were in the hearts of many who mourned. In spite of the-inclemency of tho weather, a very large congregation as sembled in the beautiful Presbyterian church to participate iu the last solemn ceremonies. Everybody knew Jim Rum ple and he was a general favorite. The funeral was held at 9:30 o'clock, and was conducted by Rev. Dr. C. M. Payne, of Concord, assisted by Rev. Dr. Leith, the paEtor of the Methodist church. As has already 'been ttated, Mr. Rumple's wife had arrived in Salisbury Saturday frcm Newbern, and his father has been here ever since the death of Col. 8. H. Wiley a very short while ago, having been sum moned from Blowing Rock at the time. Mrs Dr. Rumple arrived from Blowing Rock last night. Other relatives here were Rev. C. G. Vardell, of Newbern, and his mother, Mrs. W. G. Vardell; Mr. Jesse R. Wharton, of Greensboro, and Rev. T. A Wharton, cf .Heel Creek. Mre. C. G. Vardell, sister of the deceased, who is at Blowing Rock, could net be present. The casket, covered with wreaths of beautiful eummer flowers, was borne into the church by the following pall bearers: Messrs Leo S Overman, O. D. Davis, W. S Blackmer, A. S. Heiiig and M. 8. Brown, of ba'isbury; John C. Wheat, P.jit Republic, Va.; David Schenck, Jr., of Greensboro, and H. A. Banks, of Charlotte After prayer by Dr. Leith, the choir sang the favorite hymn of the deceased, Newman's ''Lead, Kindly Light." Dr. Payne read appropriate passages of Scripture, fallowing the reading with some exquisitely beautiful and touching remarks. The congregation was sfftcted to tears, am; as one of the members cf the church afterward remarked, no one could have so spoken who had not had some great sorrow in his own life. The speaker, among other things, said that the deceased was s child of the covenant, and a member of the Church. "Abide with me" and "My faith looks up to Thee" were snog by the chcir, and then the services were concluded at the grave-side. A pathetic bight that will not soon be forgetten by those present was the venerable father of the depatted standing in the failing rain watching in tently as his beloved son was laid away, whila his arm retted upon the headttDne of the grave of his eldest eon, Watson Rumple, whose death a few years ago was also the result of an accident, upon the athletic field at Davidson College. CAUSE OK MR KcSlI'LE'S DEATH The theory now accepted regarding Mr. Kumplc'e death ia that it was caused by lightning. He was not in swimming as at first surmised. He went fishing Saturday afternoon. As he did not re turn to his hotel in Shendun at tapper time his supper was set aside for him, as he was accutt.imed to ttsy oat very late during his hunting and tuning expe ditions. Not returning by 10 o'clock some anxiety was felt for hitn, although it was then presumed by hia friends that he had stopped wit 1 some of his friends near Port Republic, perhaps at Mr. John C. Wheat's wnero he sometimes dia stop at auch timee. However, early Sunday morning search was instituted aud his body was found without much dif ficulty ia about twelve or fifteen feet of water at the joining of the two forks of the river that form the Shenandoah at Port Republic. Mr. John C. Wheat, who accompanied the remains to Salisbury, says that he was found by means of his fishing red, the point of which was stick ing out of the water. When the body was recovered the right hand was still tightly clutching the rod. Ho had on his rubber bocts and was probably fishing out in the river when he met his death. Hardly any water was found by the physicians who examined the body in the luegs. In deaths caused sole ly by drowning the lungs are always suffused with water. Therefore it is be lieved that Mr. Rumple was dead when he fell into the water. There wero no marss t f violence on the body save slight abrasions on the bridge and tip of the nose. The right hand was slightly blis tered and greatly swollen, while it was spasmodically clutched where it had held the rod. A Eevere thunder storm had taken place Saturday afternoon late. Again, by a slight effort a person in the water wnere the body was found could easily and quickly get to shallow water on either side of him, and Mr. Rnmple was an expert swimmer. All indications point to death by a stroke of lightning. Mr. Rumple had an accident policy on his life for $25,000, besides $0,000 life insurance. A YOl NO WOMAN d SUICIDE.

Birmingham, Ala., July 17. A good deil of excitement of a quiet kind has been aroused in political circles here in Alabama by the coming home of Con gressman Denson, of the seventh dis trict. The Ivolb leaders have been set ting up claims to him, and the Democrats have been uneasy. He disappointed both in his opening speech at Cnlloman by ig noring State politics altogether, defend ing his record as purely and 6oundly Democratic aud endorsing Governor Jone6' efforts to preserve law and order. In short. Col. Denson is here canvassing his district in his own interest and em phatically "toting his own skillet." He went only far enough on general party lines to urge the people to stand by the Democrats. The whole State is watching his course with gret interest.
