Valuable Merchandise.
Incendlarlftui Kampant-
Chicago, July 6. With flaming torch,
lawless hordes of firebug9 are at work
at a score of points in the south half of
Chicago. Fires aro raging in every di
rection among the numerous railroad
yards, hundreds of acres and tens of
thousands of dollars' worth of merchan
dise have gone up in smoke or been
' carried off by the now frenzied , mob of
rioters. Incendiarism is rampant, alarm
after alarm has followed in quick succes
sion all day, and tonight at 1) the glare
reflected from the heavens shows the
- disorderly passtime continues unabated:
From early morning until this hour,
midnight, reports of fresh fires .followed
each other with rapidity, being confined,
however, principally to railroad rolling
stock and buildings, against which thus
far the greatest part of the mob's ;fnry
has been directed. Early this morning
a blaze started among some overturned
cars at Kensington, quickly communi
cating to other tracks filled with long
lines of care, and many containing'
valuable merchandise. These were soon
:mgiug mriuueiy, lunneu uy strong
of 80 cars wipedout.
At the stock yards one blaze after an
other was reported and from the out
lying districts came urgent calls for
engines and police protection. Bat
with the falling shades of night came
v. the climax of the fiery festival. In
the Panhandle yards, from 55th to 63d
street, 80 stock cara ' are on .fire. The
tracks contain 1000 to 2000 cars. . Half
of them are loaded. They will be a
total loss. No water being at band the
fire must burn itself out. The Pan
handle station at 63d street was also
fired and destroyed. ' The Grand" Trunk
yards at Elston is a sea of flame:. Five
hundred box cars are supposed to have
been burned and efiorta to check the
flames have been futile. While direct
ing the movement of the 11th battallion
at olst street, Fire .Marshal Fitzpatrick
was seized by the thoroughly frenzied,
mob of firebugs and thrown into a
pond, from which he was rescued by the
police more dead than alive. Every
thing at this point will probably be a
. total loss. At Hyde Park, near the
world's fair grounds, the" ashes of 40
cars are smouldering and word has just
. come in that after numerous efforts the
mob succeeded in firing the Illinois
Central shops at Bur nsides.
At the stockyards tonight about 50
toughs, some of whom are railroad men,
were skulking from point to ' point, and
started a large number of fires. Their
methods j were thoroughly unique.
Loading several hand-cars with buckets
of waste and oil, they would glide
around among the Cars in the darkness,
lighting wads of stuff, which would be
thrown into the open doors of the cars
as they passed by. Fires sprang up on
y everv hand, and no organized effort . on
-"ihe part of the police seemed to be un-
' m . .
j der way to intercept them. This is the
v banner district of the city, if not of the
entire country, for all-around tonghs,
and it is as much as a man's life is worth
to interfere with them.
'Troops are hurrying south. Company
after company .on heavy marching or
ders are moving to the turbulent dis
trict from the center of the city. The
aggregate -losses of the railroads will be
enormous.. Miles of their- tracks have
' been ruined by the fierce heat, hun
dreds of switch and signal towers with
: tbei expensive mechanism are utterly
ruined. Thousands of -cars and untold
' quantities of merchandise of every im
aginable description have fed the flames
' and filled gorges and lardens . of the
: thieves. Valuable locomotives have
been -wrecked and disabled, and miles
of tangled wires -and .prostrate' poles
litter the ground. TeleDhone. tele?ranh.
electric.ligbt and fire-alarm wires . are
now the special object of ' attacks. The
plugging of the fire alarm boxes consti
. . Highest of all in Leavening Power.- Latest U. S. Gov't Report
tutes a new and doubly -dangerous ' ele
ment in the tremendous wave of incen
diarism sweeping over the southwest
portion of the pity, preventing as it does
notice being received of the. starting of
fires, until, with the poor water supply
in these outlying3istricts, a fire has at
tained such a headway that it cannot be
stopped except throught lack of further
material on which to feed. The maddened
mobs, flow, worked up to'- the- highest
pitch of fury, are paralleling ; the scenes
of the commune, and at this hour, it ap
pears as "though nothing short of the
miraculous ' can . prevent - an- -armed
demonstration -against them"-, and, the
sacrifice of many lives.. ; .. ' 1
. About.80 cars were ' burned altogether
in the Illinois Central yards, and to
night at ' 10 " .o'clock the flames were
emouldering, hut no further epread of
the fire at this point is feared. Much
apprehension was felt this evening con
cerning the Pullman shops. The feeling
among the strikers is. intense. . This
evening a committee of strikers made a
tour of the works and ordered the watch
men to leave the place or suffer tlje con
sequences. Some of these became
greatly alarmed and did so, bat later be
ing reassured by the company and the
arrival during the evening of - state
militia, they returned to their posts.
During the early evening it was said the
Pullman plant was adequately manned"
with guards. The intention of the strik
ers was not known; . bub there are those
interested who. fear incendiary' work, ior
the possible use of explosives. - -
The first detachment of the National
Guards reached Kensington - at "8:30
o'clock. The train ran around to River
dale, where a company was left' on
guard, and then returned to Kensington.
Here the town seemed full of people,
and there were evidently many strangers.
The people lined up along the tracks
where the troops were leaving the cars
and the citizen soldiers were received
with shouts of derision and despairing
cries. There was no offer of violence,
however,' and the troops soon com
pleted their camp .arrangements" and
entered upon the- work of . guarding the
property and preventing riots.
Aa Appeal from Debs. -
Chicago, July 6. President Debs has
issued the following proclamation, ad
dressed to all striking employes : . .-.
'In view of the reportof disturbances
in various localities, I deem it my duty
to caution you against being a party to
any violation of law, municipal, state or
national, during the existing difficulties.
We have repeatedly declared that we
respect law and order, and onr conduct
must conform to our' professions. A
man who commits violence in any form,
whether a member of our order or not,.
should be promptly arrested and pun
ished, and we should be first to appre
hend the miscreant ; and bring him to
justice. ; . We . must, triumph as law-
abiding citizens or not at all. Those
who engage in force and violence are our
real enemies.. .We have it upon . reliable
authority that thugs and toughs have
been employed to create trouble so as to
prejudice the public against bur cause,
These scoundrels, in every case should
be made to pay the penalty of law.. ; I
appeal - to you to be men; orderly: and
lav abiding. Our cause is just; the
great public 'is with us, and we have
nothing to fear. ' ......
. "Let it be boine in mind that if the
railroads can secure men to handle their
trains, they have that right. ". Our. men
have the right to quit, but there. their
right ends. Other men have the right
to take their places,' whatever the . opin
ion of the propriety of so doing may be.
Come away from railroad yards, pr
rights-of-way, or other places, where
crowds congrrgate. 'A safe plan-is to
remain away entirely from places where
there is any likelihood of there being
an' outbreak. .. The railroad managers
have sought to make "it " appear" that
their lines do not operate -because of in
terference ;of strikers. . This statement
is an unqHalified. falsehood, and 110 one
knows this better thari the mamieers
themselves. ."They Vjirake "the- falsehood
serve their purpose of calling -out the
troops-. Resiect the law, conduct your.
selves as becomes men, and our. cause
shall be crowned with' success." ' -

potatoes. He returned, .at night,' and
threw down the bag. and said-, surlily:
"Nobody that I .met asked me for po
tatoes." Business must be.aw.ful dullV'
In the same town there' was a boy who
went about, bawKnjr at the top of his
voice: "Fish, fish fresh flshr' 'What

an.. ."Do you hear me?" asked' the boy,
politely.. ''Hear yon! You can' be heard
