MARTIAL LAW IS PROCLAIMED Regulars Have a Battle With a Mob of Two Thousand at Hammond, Illinois. The President's Determined Action. Washington, Jnly 8. Just before midnight President Cleveland issued the following proclamation : Whereas, By reason of unlawful ob structions, combinations and assemb lages of persons it has become impracti cable, in the judgement of the president, to enforce, by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, .the laws of the United States withintbe stale of Illinois and the city of Chicago within said state ; and Whereas ; For the purpose of enforc ing the faithful execution of the laws of United States and protecting its prop erty and removing obstructions to the United States in the state and city afore said, the president has employed a part of the military forces of the United States. Now, therefore, I, Grover Cleveland, president of the United States, do here by admonish all good- citizens and all persons, who may be or may come with in, the city and state aforesaid, against aiding, countenancing, encouraging or ' taking any part in such unlawful ob structions, combinations and assem blages ; and I do hereby w,arn all per sons engaging in or in any way con nected with such unlawful obstructions, combinations and assemblages to dis perse and retire peaceably to their re spective abodes on or before 12 o'clock noon, on the 7th day of July, instant. Those who disregard this warning and persist in taking part with riotdus mobs in forcibly resisting and obstructing the execution of the laws of the - United - States, or with interfering with the functions of the government, or destroy ing or attempting to destroy the prop erty belonging to the United States, or under rts protection, 'cannot be regarded otherwise than as public enemies. Troops employed against Euch riotous mob will act with all moderation and forebearance consistent with the accom plishment of the desired end, but the necessities that confront them will not with certainty permit discrimination be tween guilty participants and those who are mingled with them froiq curiosity and without criminal intent. The only safe course, therefore, for those not ac tually unlawfully participating is to ' abide at their homes, or at least not to be found in the neighborhood of riotous assemblages. While there will be no hesitation or vacillation in the decisive treatment of the guilty, this warning is especially intended to protect and save the innocent. In testimony whereof, I hereunto set my. hand and cause the seal of the United States to be hereto affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this 8th day of July, in the year of our Lord, 1894, and of the Independance of the United States of Aineru-a the 118th. The proclamation practically declaring martial law in the city of Chicago was decided upon after a full disscuseion in the cabinet meeting. This is the action which General Miles desired from the be-' ginning, as it will give him ample au thority in the city. The following sent from the war de - partment to General Miles this evening, serves in a measure to interpret the in tention of the president's action : "In view of the provision of the stat utes and for the purpose of giving ample warning to all innocent and well dis posed persons, the president has deemed it best to issue the following procluma matjpn today. This does not' Change the' scope of your authority. You will make this known by Mayor Hopkins." The Fight at Chicago Saturday. Chicago, July 7. The regulars have .- opened fire at last and twenty men at least have gone down before them. " There is no telling how many are wound ed. ' A flijht occurred on 'the tracks of the Chicago & Western Indiana road, at Forty-seventh and Loom is streets. - The mob attacked the troops and the latter Highest of all in Leavening Power. o: at once replied to the assault with a volley. A train is now bringing in the wounded to the city. 4 :05-p. m. The cause of the fight was an attack on a wrecking train made by the mob. Western Indiana workmen had partially succeeded in clearing away the obstruction when the mob drove them away. A company of regulars were close at hand, and word was sent tbem for aid. The regulars responded on tbe run, and in a few minutes were confronting the mob. The rioters were ordered to move back or they would be fired upon. They refused to move on or disperse, and the order to fire was given. Only one volley was fired. The number killed is variously estimated at from 20 to 3D, and the number wounded as many more. As soon as the news of the shoot ing reached the army headquarters, ad ditional troops were hurried out to lend assistance, and a dozen patrol wagons loaded with police officers were hurried to the scene, but before their arrival tbe fight was over, and the mob, which fled like sheep at the first shot, was com pletely routed. In a short time the in jured men were picked up by soldiers and members of the wrecking crew and taken up on a train which started for tbe city at a rapid rate. Serious Fight With Regulars. Chicago, July 8. The rioting at Hammond, Ind., culminated this after noon in a conflict between the mob and company B Fifteenth infantry, in which Charles Fleischman was killed, one man fatally wounded'' and another shot through both legs. A number of people were slightly injured, but were carried away by friends and secreted, so that it will be impossible to learn the exact number wounded. The trouble began last night. The rioters kept their work up all night, burning cars and disabling engines. This morning they burned a Pullman car. Most of this work was done inside the Illinois state line," and as soon as the Illinois state militia ar- rived on the scene, the men jeered at the troops. At 9 o'clock this morning a crowd gathered at the union' depot. Several freight cars were overturned and the Michigan Central tracks blocked. Tbe sheriff and his deputies were power less to restrain the mob, and as there was no hope of the Indiana militia ariv ing nntil late, an appeal was made to the federal authorities in Chicago. Company B, of the Fifth infantry, was1 sent out at once. Its presence quieted things for awhile, and the blockade on the tracks was finally raised at 1 o'clock in tbe afternoon, and several trains pulled through. , This seemed to anger the mob, and with an increase in numbers its passions grew to a frenzy. The regulars were greeted with oaths and shouts of de rision, and volleys of sticks and stones were showered upon . them. The men stood their ground, however, and kept the mob for several hours from ap proaching the buildings. By 3 o'clock fully 5,000- rioters 'were, assembled. They had been aroused by their leaders to a frenzy that made an encounter with the soldiers certain.- Several times they rushed upon the company of troops, but were met with fixed bayonets and driven back. At last, however, the entire body of strikers made a determined rush to ward tbe depot. "Make ready, fire," was the command, and the 30 Springfields rang out in re sponse.' A second volley quickly followed the surging crowd. The first volley stagg ered them, and the second stopped tbem as effectually as if they had run : against a stone wall. Several men were seen to" fall, but were ffijrtaway by tbeirom rades, and the exjten.t of their injuries could not be learned. Fleishman fell in the front rank of the strikers. He was taken to the hospital where he died in a little while. In the rugh which followed, scores .of woman and children were trampled under foot and a -half a dozen women fainted on the tracks at the Russell-street crossing. . The news of tho killing spread with remarkable, rapidity, . and 10 minutes afterward the street in the vicinity was filled with a threatening inob. Major Hartz left his company for a few min utes to assist the firemen and doctors in placing a man in the patrol wagon, and was surrounded by a crowd. "Kill him' "shoot him" down," were the cries of the several excited -men, as the. mob surged around the major. 'Hartz, how ever, did not pay any attention to them, Latest U. S.

Men ran from house to house borrowing shotguns, rifles and other firearms. . "To arms," was the cry heard on every side, and fully 3,000 people responded- Matters looked so threatening that a call was sent to Chicago for reinforcements, and two more companies were sent out on a special train. -These additional troops were etaiioned at the scene of the trouble, and effectually cowed the riot ers for the time being. Major Hartz ar rested four of the leaders of the mob and took them to Chicago with a detachment of troops. While the train was pulling out of the city, a crowd gathered and stoned it, but qnickly disperseed on the approach' of a company of infantry. THE STATES TO ACT JOINTLY. Tonight Governor Altgeld granted permission to the Indiana troops to come into Illinois and wired for the I1J linois state troops to co-operate with the Indiana soldiers to suppress the dis order. - Lighting is getting to be a little too prevalent in this section to be comforta ble. Last Sunday afternoon a thunder shower came np and about three o'clock the lightening struck tbe new school building at this place. It first bit the belfry, tearing off most of the trimming and shattering it badly, then passed down through the roof, tore off a lot of ceiling and rustic just above the front doors, smashed tbe transom, split the two large doors into splinters, and then passed down through the floor out of sight. Large pieces of boards were afterwards found fifty yards away. The damage will amount to $50 or $75. It is but ft short time ago that the light ning struck Mrs. Qlisan, and killed a horse belonging to Boyd Ashby. An telope Herald. ' . . ' --A Mob at Dsn Till e Charged. Danville, III., Jnly 8.
