The man held a smoking 44-caliber revolver in his hand "D-llver up," called Madden; "you are under arrest." "You be P retorted the other. "Ml shoot you, too." He had scarcely uttered the words when the brave bfflcer grappled with him to get possession of the pistol. A brief scuffle ensued The two men were fairly matched in size and strength, and both struggled with the energy of desperation for success. Chairs and tables were overturned and the place thrown into disorder. In the heat of the contest both wen were thrown to their knees. Suddenly the hoodlum succeeded in disengaging his right hand, which held the revolver, and placing the muzzle against Madden's left breast, pulled the trigger. Almost at the same moment, by a superhuman effort, Madden rose to his feot, and, forcing his antagonist down by the shoulders, placed his pistol to the fellow's and 11 red twice. The three reports followed each other with lightning rapidity. The tension of the two relazed and both fell on the floor unconscious. It was at first thought both were dead, and they were placed side by side in a hastily summoned patrol wagon and taken to the station. A physician made an examination, and, finding that they still lived, sent them at onoe to the county hospital Their wounds are so serious that it is believed neither will recover. In the hoodlum's pocket wus found a box of new 44-caliber cartridges, ininns one load Under the cover of the box a piece of paper was attached with the name John Loeffelhardt, Englewood. The man was ordinarily well dressed, was about 85 years of age, and a mechan c. His companion ran away at the coir mencement of the trouble, and has not yet lean found THE CITT OF BEER. the nrjrning. Th« turbulent crowd was harangued by several leading Socialists, who urged the men to march over to the south side in a body, close all shops on the route, and then proceed to Bay View and re-enforce the riotous Poles who were gathered near the North Chicago rolling mills. looking members of the crowd, who assured him that the assemblage would disperse if the militia were withdrawn. Mayor Wallber then had a consultation with Col. King, the result of which was the withdrawal of the militia. to tha browing ..

"It came whining through the air like' a firecracker Dr squib," said the witness, "and I thought it was one or the other, but the moment it touched ground t(vre was a terrific report, and through the Ftaoke I saw the officers mown down like grass. At the same moment firing commenced like the roar of cannon. ,1 heard some of the shots come from behind the boxes where the bomb was thrown." All the witnesses agreed that, judging from the applause and the guying of speakers occasionally indulged in, not more than 500 of the gathering were in sympathy with the Anarchist sentiments enunciated. Capt. Ward, who, with Capt Bonflald, marched at the head of the police, said in answer to one of the juryman that be had never had instructions to request the Anarchists to desist from inflammatory speeches, although to understood that such instructions had been given to other officers at various times. Next the inquiry was directed to the character of the explosive, and in this branch much startling and unexpected testimony was introduced. , MH-WAUKEE THE SCENE OF BLOODV Ohioago in a State of Faarfa] BATTLES WITH RIOTERS.

THE MILITIA'S DEADLY FIRE. In the meantime the striking carpenters, to the number of several hundred, were holding an orderly meeting at the Milwaukee garden. The sdfcialists at Casino hall, after agreeing upon their course of action, decidedto go to the Milwaukee garden and entice the carpenters to Join their ranks.

Chief of Police Ries immediately ordered fifty patrolmen to go to the scene of the troubles, and the governor ordered companies G, H and I of the the First regiment, which were held in reserve at the Squadron armory, to follow up and support the police. The formidable column moved in quick time. CINCINNATI EXCITED. Chicago, May ft—The situation last night, white not actually of a riotous condition. is on* of grave appreheneon.

Meantime the Socialists arrive! at the garden and endeavored to effect an entrance to tho grounds. The carpenters, however, who had little sympathy with the mob outside, the majority of whom consisted of igncrant laborers, mostly Bohemians, refused to admit them and barred the doors and gates. A committee of the latter bantered the crowd inside, and tried every persuasive means at their command to induce the wood workers to form an alliance with them. This the latter steenuorrly refused to da The police hove In sight, whereupon the mob, which had stationed itself along the west fence of the Milwaukee garden, marched around the corner Into State street and came to a halt. The crowd numbered fully 500. Cincinnati, May 5.—The strike of the railroad freight handlers is getting warm. The men all marched to the Little Miami depot yesterday for the purpose of persuading those at work there to join them. At the corner of Pearl and Butler streets they were met by 100 policemen, drawn up in line across the sidewalk and streot, who halted them and demanded thoir business. The leader of the striken said they merely wishod to learn if the men working there were satisfied. Shortly after 9 o'clock a report wu received that the mob had passed Kinnikinnick bridge, 1,500 strong, moving toward the works. Twenty minutes later the head of the column, with a red flag fluttering, rounded the bend at the foot at South Bay street, and came in view of the military. As the black line drew its long length out in the little valley it was seen that no exaggeration had been made as to the size. The members were arme.i with stones, iron bars and any offensive weapon that oould be seized at a moment's notice. It had been formed near St. Stanislaus church, on Mitchell street, the rendezvous of the day before. "I made a search of The Arbeit©r Zeitung office," Officer Martin Marks testified. "On a shelf on the recess of Mr. Spies' private room I found a bundle marked, 'Adams' Express company.' This bag contained a lot of sawdust, sand and nitro-glycerine. It looked exactly--the same as what we found on Desplaines street after the bomb exploded. only it was not so hard." woUndad in the left band by the dynamite bomb, reported for duty yesterday morning. The officer says ho can still wMd a club or pre* the trigger of a revolver with his uninjured hand. Inspector Botifield and a squad of men from the Ilesplaines street station raided a gun shop at 1? South Canal street yesterday afternoon. The place was known as a resort for Anarchists and a depot for the repair and supply of such arms as they have hitherto had use for. The "find" was better than expected, several thousand stand of arms being seized, besides hundreds of bayonets and iron knuckles, the latter bright and new. A committee representing 1,423 of the Vriklng freight handlers waited upon Chief BbersoM noon and tendered the services of tfcat hpmber of men as special policemen to. protect property. The chief thanked them for (he spirit displayed, but averred that the regular force was sufficient to oops with the trouble. Late in the afternoon the police department took possession of the type forms of The Arbelter Bsitaing. A few papers were •truck off before the seizure. The offioe is now guarded by the police, and no one admitted. Abort! noon a squad of offloars visited the office of The Arbettsr Zeitung and arrested the entire force. They were immediately, comeltted for. trial on May 14, on «DeehM!|e of murder. -nd bofl refused.

What was left of the stock and fixture* was carted off to a place of safety. At timee the spectators hews ens so obstreperous that the services of a rtoasn policemen wive required to pre sat them from destroying the wagons. Af.er all the goods had been removed the cr« wd became bolder. It choked Center ansae from the viaduct to Twentyfirst street and overran the side streets. At 5 o'clock CJapt O'Donnell. of the Twelfth street sMMsb, decided to dispone the multitude.Tho superintendent of the road, who was ■tending near, refused to permit them to ■peak to the men. The leader, with two followers, then made an effort to break through the line of officers, whereupon CoL Moore, the chief of police, ordored them placed under arrest, and commanded the crowd to disperse. There were 300 of thum, but there were fully as many idlers in the crowd. The itrikers were very angry. One of them ■houted, "If I bad a dynamite bomb I would use it now I" "Most of the stuff," concluded the officer) 'is stored in the vault, and one of our men, who is an expert, says there is enough in it to blow up this building." THE POLICE CHARGE The jury were out half an hour before agreeing upon a verdict The jury held all of the prisoners to the grand jury without ball and also recommended that Parsons be apprehended and held. The verdict, when read in the city clerk's office, was loudly applauded by the anxious spectators. The prisoners were returned to the cells in the basement. As the head of the column came in sight the long roll sounded, and the troops fell into line with the alacrity and quickness of veterans. As the line reached the corner of Lincoln avenue and South Bay street, about 900 yards from the mllltla, Maj. Traemur mounted a block, where he was in plain view, and ordered the crowd to halt, waving them back at the same time with his sword. Finding the order rather accelerated the pace of the rioters, the order was given to And Wield Their Lon| Clubs Right and CHICAGO RAILROADS. Milwaciix, May When the police, who were several blocks In advance of the militia, arrived at the corner of Fourteenth street, Lieut Berges gave the order to "draw clubs." Each man was armed with the long regulation club, which is worn only on extra occasions. This order was almost instantly followed by another to "doable quick" their pace, and the fifty bluecoata rapidly ran to within a few feet abreast of the Socialists, who were .standing oo the north side of State street and within a few feet of the curb. A few of the more timid men in the crowd slunk away at the approach of the police, but the main body sullenly stood their ground, evidently believing that the police would not dare to molest them. This delusion, however, was expelled almost in a twinkling. The lieutenant in command in a loud tone of voice ordered the crowd to disperse. Perceiving that there was no disposition to obey, he at once ordered his men to charge the crowd. The order was promptly obeyed, the fifty police striking right and left with their clubs, breaking heads on every side and mowing a huge swath through the ranks of the Socialists. The latter became panic stricken, some running heiterekelter north in Fifteenth street, others going west in State street, and a considerable number darting up alleys and through back yards. The police followed close upon the heels of the flying men, now and then knocking down a few who attempted to rally. The pursuit was continued for a distance of about a block in every direction. Freight Handlers stons of Trouble. Cans'.ng Apprehen- The men arrested were Oliver Htacey, Jamej Butler and William Whitman. Stacey la said to be "Texas Jack," a leader in the railroad agitation in the west Chioaqo, May 0.—The situation at the freight housea of the Nortnweetern and the St Paul is unchanged, 'doth roads are still handling small quantities of freight, and their tracks ar j under strong police protection, as danger threatens from the striking freight handlers and their sympathisers. A sister of August Spies came t«the Central station, and, after considerable talking, Lieut KIpley elicited from her the confession that a third brother, who was in the affray, was lying dangerously ill at his home. It is thought that he will die. Extra precautions are being taken by Mayor Smith to pre\ ent any riotous demonstration. In view of the fact that the railroad companies will attempt to resume business a heavy reserve force is concentrated at the three down town pollcj stations. Three hundred members of the First regiment are on duty at the armory under command of CoL Moore. There was great activity about the Milwaukee and St Paul and the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy depots. The streets were crowded with wagons waiting todeiiver their freight, and about half a force of men were taking care of it as fast as possible The switchmen are all at work and have assured the managers that they will not leave their poets. The fine depot of the For* Wayne, Alton and Union lines is closed. FIRM BY SECTIONS. Mrs. A. R Parsons, the wife of the fugitive Anarchist, was arrested and locked up. She was present when the Officers made a raid on The Ar belter Zeitung building, but the officers did not then wish to arrsst her. They had planned to shadow her, hoping that she would make some appointment with her husband so that the latter could be captured. In The Arbeiter Zeitung building the detectives found a regular arsenal of weapons and explosives. The troops were so stationed that the advance of the crowd could not tt plainly seen by the entire command, five companies being behind the fenoe. At a point about 100 feet from the northwestern oorner of the grounds the northern fence runs oat of sight into a hollow, leaving an open space fifty feet wide, through which an unobstructed view could be had of the road along which the mob was advancing. The Sheridan guards were stationed in front of this opening, and had opportunity to sweep the street The other companies were stationed further to the right and were obliged to shoot through the fence. The Sheridans were the first to fire, the other companies shooting in the order of their position from left to right The sharp Cracking of the rifles seemed to have oonveyed the first intimation to the insane leaders that the militia would Are. Before tho sound reached their ears their fellows were falling all around them. Those, who ware able to do so, turned and fled in dismay. As soon as the mob was seen to be retiring the order was given to cease firing. The majority of the crowd continued their retreat to town. A portion reformed outside the range of fire, and a few who had friends injured returned to their assistance. The mayor has issued a proclamation calling on all citizens to meet in their respective precincts to organize a committee of safety for keeping the peace and protecting prop»rty, and to assist the city officers in propsrly meeting and disposing of ths present troubles. The Wabash brought 26 man here from Decatur te take the places of the striking freight handlers. They were kept locked up in a car all night, and in the morning, when they learned the situation in the city, refused to go to work. They have no money, and their presence will probably not help the situation.THE LONG STRIKE ENDED. Searching a dark closet off the editorial room was found two small cloth bags containing a mass of sawdust saturated with dynamite. There must have been five pounds of the explosive In the two bags, enough to blow up the board of trade. Six red and two blaok flags were captured. A Compromise Signed by a Majority of tke Board. N*w York, May 6.—By an agreement between the Third Avenue Railroad company and a majority of the members of the executive board of the Empire Protective association, Messrs. Joseph P. ODonnell, .T, P. Downing and John H. Hughes, tha stiV:e on the Third Avenua railroad lias Ik on declared at an end. Inspector Steer* so informed the little army of blue cont» garrisoned at the Sixty-fifth street depot at 10 o'clook last night, and the news ran down the long blue telephone to the city hall, bringing smiles to tho faces of 500 happy policemen. Whether their gladness will bn evanescent depends upon the strikers themselves. They heard the agreement read in their headquarters at Eighty-seventh street and Fourth avenue, and were not generally satisfied with it The fact of its not having been signed by all the members of the committee was one of the causes of dissatisfaction; the other was that the concessions to the strikers were few as compared with what they had hoped to gain In Spies' private desk were found two great sticks of giant powder, each six inches long and aboutan inch and a half square, with one bored for a cap. Two large revolvers were captured, and a pair of knives fashioned The Rock Island freight depots are closed, and crowds gather in the neighborhood, which makes the situation serious. Inspector Bonfleld and a large force of armed police broke suddenly in upon a meeting of discontented freight handlers at 64 West Lake street yesterday, and, by freely using their clubs, senttbe participants flying In all directions. The handlers had met to organize themselves into a union, so as to gate the sympathy and aid of the switchman. "Fall in, men!" be shouted, and fifty offican, many of them nearly faint from exhaustion and other* suffering from wounds, •topped- oat upon the sidewalk where two patrol MpM ware awaiting them. The vehicle* ware quickly loaded, and than a Mfcrried ran to Eighteenth street began. .ITImd the Anarchists saw the familiar wagons earning down npott tbani at breakneck spaed they slunk away like cars. They - xbsy ran i«to their uall, crawled under the isiiliiaslhs, and a few climbed upon the roofs. As the wagons ware crossing Eighteenth Mtreet a pop bottle was hurled from the roof •of a tall building. It hit Sergt. Bowler OM the right wrist, breaking the bone. At the aaaae instant a score of (koli ware fired into the officers tram the windows of Anarchists' hall on the corner. 11m missUgrtew wide of their mark and buried themselves in the pavemrot..

Qne of the prisoners, a muscular fellow, was Weeding profusely froan a wound in the head. He had been hit with a dub. Although huge crowds assembled in the aeighborhood during the evening no further trouble occurred. The situation in the other 4i*tr.oU in the southwestern part of the city is very ranch strained. While there were no outbreaks (hiring the day heavy reserves were held at all the station houses in anticipation of trouble.

Milwaukee, May ft— Swing that the Socialists were pretty effectually dispersed, at toast for tha time being, Lieut Berges gave the order to "fall in," and the police marched back to In front of the Garden hall. Here an immense crowd of men, mostly composed of members of the Carpenters' union, whb, of course, were unknown to the police, were gathered on all four owners. Again the word was given to uharge, and another clubbing, nearly as severe as the initial attack, was administered to those who refused to heed the warning of the officers to disperse. The dull and sickening thud of the rosewood billies, as they crashed down upon the heads of the luckless idlers, could be heard at a distance of a hundreg feet or more. Many CJf the men attacked piled headlong over each other into the saloon, the others pushing north on Fourteenth street. ias* Heads. ■■IM Dm Good People. Chicago, May 6.—A subscription list for the aid of the families of the policemen killed was put in circulation on 'Change yesterday. Witlun less than an hour about $4,000 was subscribed. Mr. P. D. Armour headed the list with a subscription of (500. Several other wealthy members subscribed a like amount Then a line of 1250 donations followed. The fund soon amounted to (8,500. One paper was kept on the floor to receive signatures, while the other was being circulated among the large dealers in their offices. The subscription reached (11,000 before night. As soon as the firing ceased, Maj. Traemut ordered the gates thrown open and the companies moved out into the street and marched toward the throng, crossing the bridge and forming a line across the roadway with the intention of repeating the fire. The crowd had in the meantime turned and moved toward St Stanislaus church. The troops were then withdrawn to within the gates and a guard stationed on the bridges and at intervals of a few yards in the street in front of the works to prevent people from passing. The battalion surgeon. Dr. Scribner, under guard of the Janesville Greys, went forward to render such assistance as possible to the wounded. Chicago, May 6.—The following is U» mayor's proclamation: To the people of Chicago: Whereas, Great excitement exists among the people of this city, growing out of the labor trouble, which excitement is intensified by the open defiance of the guardians of the peace by a body of lawless men, who under the pretence of aiding the laboring men are really endeavoring to destroy all law; and Whereas, These men, by the use of weapons never resorted to in civilized lands except in times of war or for revolutionary purposes, caused great bloodshed among citizens and the officers of the municipality, Who were simply in the performance of their duties; and A WESTERN BUDDENSIEK.

A large gang of workmen were buried. Mayor Ames suderintended the rescue. The shrieks of the mangled victims rose above the din of flre engines and patrol wagons which wet-e summoned. Chicago, May 6.—The man who threw the fatal bomb at the riot has been arrested, and is now locked up at the central station. His name is Julius Carpenter. The polios claim to have ample proof that he is the man, and Lieut Kipley says that the public need have no more fear of evil from bombs. The twenty-five printers who were arrested at The Arbeiter /.eitung building were brought before Justice Meeeli, and held on the charge of murder till May 14. Carpenter is said to be one of their number. The Bomb Thrower Caught. THE KILLED AND WOUNDED. The list of killed and wounded was as follows:Whereas, The city authorities propose to protect life and property at all hazards, an d in doing so will be oompelled to break up all unlawful or dangerous gatherings; and, Franz Kunkel, yard foreman at the rolling mills, shot through the heart and instantly killed. . A minute or two later a third charge was made on a crowd of Socialists and others standing a few feet east of the east crossing of Fourteenth and State streets, and many heads narrowly escaped being broken-'While a number of the policemen were chasing a section of the rioters one qf the latter drew a revolver and fired into the ground with the intention of frightening his pursuers. Whereas, When men propose to meat for lawful purposes, bad men will attempt to mingle with them, armed with cowardly missiles, for the purpose of bringing about bloodshed, thus endangoring innocent persons;Michael Ruhalskl, a laborer, shot in the right breast and died in a few minutes. Martin Jankoyer, shot in the right breast; fatally wounded. Six or eig'it men were kille 1 or fatally hurt, and twelve or fifteen wounded. A force of men worked all night rescuing those in the debris. The following were recovered: Noli Oufrane, injured in hips; John Carlson, injured about the head and limbs; D. Swanson, ■pine injured; Robert Arteson, injured about the head. A boy, 14 years old, named Nowachek, very dangerously wounded in the abdomen. Therefore, 1, Carter H. Harrison, mayor of the city of Chicago, do hereby proclaim that gatherings of people in crowds or processions on the streets and public places of the city are dangerous and cannot be permitted; and orders have been issued to prevent ail snch gatherings, and to break up and disperse all crowds. To prevent injury to innocent people, I urge all law-abiding persons to quietly attend to their own affairs and not to meet in crowds. If the police order any gathering to disperse and they be not obeyed, all persons so disobeying will be treated as law breakers and will surely incur the penalty of their disobedience.Casimer Dudek received two balls In the left arm and two in the left cheek. His condition is serious. London, May 0.—The conference of the National Liberal Federation, held 'n London yesterday, was largely attended, tbeie being present 600 delegates, representing all the Liberal associations in England. The caucus wirepullers, all followers of Mr. Chamberlain, proposed resolutions requesting Mr. Gladstone to accept amendments to his home rule bill, retaining the Irish members in the British parliament, insuring the authority of the imperial parliament and perpetuating the principle that taxation and representation go together. Counter resolutions expressing the fullest confidence in Mr. Gladstone and unqualified approval of his Irish policy were proposed by the adherents of the premier and carried amid the wildest enthusiasm by a vote of 575 to 25. The announcement of the vote created a profound sensation, and Mr. Chamberlain's defeat within his own stronghold and by so overwhelming a majority is a crushing blow to his hopes of dictating terms to Mr. Gladstone. Chamberlain's Defeat, The police redoubled their efforts to overtake the fellow, who ran up an alley and escaped with his companions. Two of the crowd who vyere found with revolvers and stones in their possession were arrested. The militia arrived just after the crowd was In full flight, hence they were not used. After waiting about a time the military and police were ordered back to the station and armory. Albert ITrtmann, bullet in the right leg, dangerously wounded.

Jafrens, C. Blair, Bos well. A number of others were wounded, but were assisted off by friends. The dead were removed by the police to the morgue and the wounded to the county hospital. The news of the shooting soon reached the city, and the greatest excitement prevailed. It was looked upon as an intimation that the same remedy would have to be renewed several times' bofore quiet was restored. The mob, after coming for their friends, went back to St Stanislaus, where they held an indignation meeting in a hall, and threatened ail sorts of vengeance on the military.

Milwaukbb, May 6.—Later a report was received to the effect that another large mob was in the vicinity of the garden, bent on mischief. A squad of twenty police, under Lieut Riemer and Sergt Krunich, were landed in a wagon and lent on a run to the scene. They were followed by the companies who had been sent out in the morning and the Light Horse squadron. When the police arrived they founl a mob of 2,000 gathered about the garden As the officers drove up they were received with a shower of stones. Drawing their clubs, they attacked the mob right and left The mob waa more inclined to resistance than in the morning, and for a short time the small band of police were in great danger of being overpowered. But they clubbed their way through the crowd and then back again, driving it up and down the street until the vicinity of the garden waa clear. Carter H. Harrison, Mayor. Kunkel, the old man who was killed, was not with the rioters, but was standing in his yard watching them. Be happened to be within the line of fire, and was killed.

An Officer and a Tough Fight to a Final Finish. Chicago, May ft—Two more were added to the list of fatally wounded last night—a brave officer and a villainous mischief maker. The district along Desplaines street from the station north to the viaduct, especially in the neighborhood of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul and the Fan Handle freight houses, was closely watched all day by the police, to keep crowds from congregating at any one point and to prevent Interference with the freight men' who ware at work about the tracks. Notwithstanding the strictness of the police, much difficulty was experienced in keeping idle curiosity seekers and possibly mors dangerously inclined people moving along. Officers John Hartnett and Dan Daley were detailed on either side of the street at the south entrance to the viaduct, while Offioer Michael Madden was stationed a little further south, on the east side of DespUnss street. Shortly after 0 o'clock Hartnett noticed two men steading en the viaduct discussing the situation with the nonchalant manner of bravados, awl, approaching them, gave the order to wove along.

He had scarcely uttered the words when the brave bfflcer grappled with him to get possession of the pistol. A brief scuffle ensued The two men were fairly matched in size and strength, and both struggled with the energy of desperation for success. Chairs and tables were overturned and the place thrown into disorder. In the heat of the contest both wen were thrown to their knees. Suddenly the hoodlum succeeded in disengaging his right hand, which held the revolver, and placing the muzzle against Madden's left breast, pulled the trigger. Almost at the same moment, by a superhuman effort, Madden rose to his feot, and, forcing his antagonist down by the shoulders, placed his pistol to the fellow's and 11 red twice. The three reports followed each other with lightning rapidity. The tension of the two relazed and both fell on the floor unconscious. It was at first thought both were dead, and they were placed side by side in a hastily summoned patrol wagon and taken to the station. A physician made an examination, and, finding that they still lived, sent them at onoe to the county hospital Their wounds are so serious that it is believed neither will recover. In the hoodlum's pocket wus found a box of new 44-caliber cartridges, ininns one load Under the cover of the box a piece of paper was attached with the name John Loeffelhardt, Englewood.

"It came whining through the air like' a firecracker Dr squib," said the witness, "and I thought it was one or the other, but the moment it touched ground t(vre was a terrific report, and through the Ftaoke I saw the officers mown down like grass. At the same moment firing commenced like the roar of cannon. ,1 heard some of the shots come from behind the boxes where the bomb was thrown." All the witnesses agreed that, judging from the applause and the guying of speakers occasionally indulged in, not more than 500 of the gathering were in sympathy with the Anarchist sentiments enunciated. Capt. Ward, who, with Capt Bonflald, marched at the head of the police, said in answer to one of the juryman that be had never had instructions to request the Anarchists to desist from inflammatory speeches, although to understood that such instructions had been given to other officers at various times. Next the inquiry was directed to the character of the explosive, and in this branch much startling and unexpected testimony was introduced. , MH-WAUKEE THE SCENE OF BLOODV Ohioago in a State of Faarfa] BATTLES WITH RIOTERS.

THE MILITIA'S DEADLY FIRE. In the meantime the striking carpenters, to the number of several hundred, were holding an orderly meeting at the Milwaukee garden. The sdfcialists at Casino hall, after agreeing upon their course of action, decidedto go to the Milwaukee garden and entice the carpenters to Join their ranks.

Chief of Police Ries immediately ordered fifty patrolmen to go to the scene of the troubles, and the governor ordered companies G, H and I of the the First regiment, which were held in reserve at the Squadron armory, to follow up and support the police. The formidable column moved in quick time. CINCINNATI EXCITED. Chicago, May ft—The situation last night, white not actually of a riotous condition. is on* of grave appreheneon.

Meantime the Socialists arrive! at the garden and endeavored to effect an entrance to tho grounds. The carpenters, however, who had little sympathy with the mob outside, the majority of whom consisted of igncrant laborers, mostly Bohemians, refused to admit them and barred the doors and gates. A committee of the latter bantered the crowd inside, and tried every persuasive means at their command to induce the wood workers to form an alliance with them. This the latter steenuorrly refused to da The police hove In sight, whereupon the mob, which had stationed itself along the west fence of the Milwaukee garden, marched around the corner Into State street and came to a halt. The crowd numbered fully 500. Cincinnati, May 5.—The strike of the railroad freight handlers is getting warm. The men all marched to the Little Miami depot yesterday for the purpose of persuading those at work there to join them. At the corner of Pearl and Butler streets they were met by 100 policemen, drawn up in line across the sidewalk and streot, who halted them and demanded thoir business. The leader of the striken said they merely wishod to learn if the men working there were satisfied. Shortly after 9 o'clock a report wu received that the mob had passed Kinnikinnick bridge, 1,500 strong, moving toward the works. Twenty minutes later the head of the column, with a red flag fluttering, rounded the bend at the foot at South Bay street, and came in view of the military. As the black line drew its long length out in the little valley it was seen that no exaggeration had been made as to the size. The members were arme.i with stones, iron bars and any offensive weapon that oould be seized at a moment's notice. It had been formed near St. Stanislaus church, on Mitchell street, the rendezvous of the day before. "I made a search of The Arbeit©r Zeitung office," Officer Martin Marks testified. "On a shelf on the recess of Mr. Spies' private room I found a bundle marked, 'Adams' Express company.' This bag contained a lot of sawdust, sand and nitro-glycerine. It looked exactly--the same as what we found on Desplaines street after the bomb exploded. only it was not so hard." woUndad in the left band by the dynamite bomb, reported for duty yesterday morning.

South Canal street yesterday afternoon. The place was known as a resort for Anarchists and a depot for the repair and supply of such arms as they have hitherto had use for. The "find" was better than expected, several thousand stand of arms being seized, besides hundreds of bayonets and iron knuckles, the latter bright and new. A committee representing 1,423 of the Vriklng freight handlers waited upon Chief BbersoM noon and tendered the services of tfcat hpmber of men as special policemen to. protect property. The chief thanked them for (he spirit displayed, but averred that the regular force was sufficient to oops with the trouble. Late in the afternoon the police department took possession of the type forms of The Arbelter Bsitaing. A few papers were •truck off before the seizure. The offioe is now guarded by the police, and no one admitted. Abort! noon a squad of offloars visited the office of The Arbettsr Zeitung and arrested the entire force.

The leader, with two followers, then made an effort to break through the line of officers, whereupon CoL Moore, the chief of police, ordored them placed under arrest, and commanded the crowd to disperse. There were 300 of thum, but there were fully as many idlers in the crowd. The itrikers were very angry. One of them ■houted, "If I bad a dynamite bomb I would use it now I" "Most of the stuff," concluded the officer) 'is stored in the vault, and one of our men, who is an expert, says there is enough in it to blow up this building." THE POLICE CHARGE The jury were out half an hour before agreeing upon a verdict The jury held all of the prisoners to the grand jury without ball and also recommended that Parsons be apprehended and held. The verdict, when read in the city clerk's office, was loudly applauded by the anxious spectators. The prisoners were returned to the cells in the basement. As the head of the column came in sight the long roll sounded, and the troops fell into line with the alacrity and quickness of veterans. As the line reached the corner of Lincoln avenue and South Bay street, about 900 yards from the mllltla, Maj. Traemur mounted a block, where he was in plain view, and ordered the crowd to halt, waving them back at the same time with his sword. Finding the order rather accelerated the pace of the rioters, the order was given to And Wield Their Lon| Clubs Right and CHICAGO RAILROADS. Milwaciix, May When the police, who were several blocks In advance of the militia, arrived at the corner of Fourteenth street, Lieut Berges gave the order to "draw clubs." Each man was armed with the long regulation club, which is worn only on extra occasions. This order was almost instantly followed by another to "doable quick" their pace, and the fifty bluecoata rapidly ran to within a few feet abreast of the Socialists, who were .standing oo the north side of State street and within a few feet of the curb. A few of the more timid men in the crowd slunk away at the approach of the police, but the main body sullenly stood their ground, evidently believing that the police would not dare to molest them. This delusion, however, was expelled almost in a twinkling. The lieutenant in command in a loud tone of voice ordered the crowd to disperse. Perceiving that there was no disposition to obey, he at once ordered his men to charge the crowd. The order was promptly obeyed, the fifty police striking right and left with their clubs, breaking heads on every side and mowing a huge swath through the ranks of the Socialists. The latter became panic stricken, some running heiterekelter north in Fifteenth street, others going west in State street, and a considerable number darting up alleys and through back yards. The police followed close upon the heels of the flying men, now and then knocking down a few who attempted to rally. The pursuit was continued for a distance of about a block in every direction. Freight Handlers stons of Trouble. Cans'.ng Apprehen- The men arrested were Oliver Htacey, Jamej Butler and William Whitman. Stacey la said to be "Texas Jack," a leader in the railroad agitation in the west Chioaqo, May 0.—The situation at the freight housea of the Nortnweetern and the St Paul is unchanged, 'doth roads are still handling small quantities of freight, and their tracks ar j under strong police protection, as danger threatens from the striking freight handlers and their sympathisers. A sister of August Spies came t«the Central station, and, after considerable talking, Lieut KIpley elicited from her the confession that a third brother, who was in the affray, was lying dangerously ill at his home. It is thought that he will die. Extra precautions are being taken by Mayor Smith to pre\ ent any riotous demonstration. In view of the fact that the railroad companies will attempt to resume business a heavy reserve force is concentrated at the three down town pollcj stations. Three hundred members of the First regiment are on duty at the armory under command of CoL Moore. There was great activity about the Milwaukee and St Paul and the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy depots. The streets were crowded with wagons waiting todeiiver their freight, and about half a force of men were taking care of it as fast as possible The switchmen are all at work and have assured the managers that they will not leave their poets. The fine depot of the For* Wayne, Alton and Union lines is closed. FIRM BY SECTIONS. Mrs. A. R Parsons, the wife of the fugitive Anarchist, was arrested and locked up. She was present when the Officers made a raid on The Ar belter Zeitung building, but the officers did not then wish to arrsst her. They had planned to shadow her, hoping that she would make some appointment with her husband so that the latter could be captured. In The Arbeiter Zeitung building the detectives found a regular arsenal of weapons and explosives. The troops were so stationed that the advance of the crowd could not tt plainly seen by the entire command, five companies being behind the fenoe. At a point about 100 feet from the northwestern oorner of the grounds the northern fence runs oat of sight into a hollow, leaving an open space fifty feet wide, through which an unobstructed view could be had of the road along which the mob was advancing. The Sheridan guards were stationed in front of this opening, and had opportunity to sweep the street The other companies were stationed further to the right and were obliged to shoot through the fence. The Sheridans were the first to fire, the other companies shooting in the order of their position from left to right The sharp Cracking of the rifles seemed to have oonveyed the first intimation to the insane leaders that the militia would Are. Before tho sound reached their ears their fellows were falling all around them. Those, who ware able to do so, turned and fled in dismay. As soon as the mob was seen to be retiring the order was given to cease firing. The majority of the crowd continued their retreat to town. A portion reformed outside the range of fire, and a few who had friends injured returned to their assistance. The mayor has issued a proclamation calling on all citizens to meet in their respective precincts to organize a committee of safety for keeping the peace and protecting prop»rty, and to assist the city officers in propsrly meeting and disposing of ths present troubles. The Wabash brought 26 man here from Decatur te take the places of the striking freight handlers. They were kept locked up in a car all night, and in the morning, when they learned the situation in the city, refused to go to work. They have no money, and their presence will probably not help the situation.THE LONG STRIKE ENDED. Searching a dark closet off the editorial room was found two small cloth bags containing a mass of sawdust saturated with dynamite. There must have been five pounds of the explosive In the two bags, enough to blow up the board of trade. Six red and two blaok flags were captured. A Compromise Signed by a Majority of tke Board. N*w York, May 6.—By an agreement between the Third Avenue Railroad company and a majority of the members of the executive board of the Empire Protective association, Messrs. Joseph P. ODonnell, .T, P. Downing and John H. Hughes, tha stiV:e on the Third Avenua railroad lias Ik on declared at an end. Inspector Steer* so informed the little army of blue cont» garrisoned at the Sixty-fifth street depot at 10 o'clook last night, and the news ran down the long blue telephone to the city hall, bringing smiles to tho faces of 500 happy policemen. Whether their gladness will bn evanescent depends upon the strikers themselves. They heard the agreement read in their headquarters at Eighty-seventh street and Fourth avenue, and were not generally satisfied with it The fact of its not having been signed by all the members of the committee was one of the causes of dissatisfaction; the other was that the concessions to the strikers were few as compared with what they had hoped to gain In Spies' private desk were found two great sticks of giant powder, each six inches long and aboutan inch and a half square, with one bored for a cap. Two large revolvers were captured, and a pair of knives fashioned The Rock Island freight depots are closed, and crowds gather in the neighborhood, which makes the situation serious. Inspector Bonfleld and a large force of armed police broke suddenly in upon a meeting of discontented freight handlers at 64 West Lake street yesterday, and, by freely using their clubs, senttbe participants flying In all directions. The handlers had met to organize themselves into a union, so as to gate the sympathy and aid of the switchman. "Fall in, men!" be shouted, and fifty offican, many of them nearly faint from exhaustion and other* suffering from wounds, •topped- oat upon the sidewalk where two patrol MpM ware awaiting them.

Qne of the prisoners, a muscular fellow, was Weeding profusely froan a wound in the head. He had been hit with a dub. Although huge crowds assembled in the aeighborhood during the evening no further trouble occurred. The situation in the other 4i*tr.oU in the southwestern part of the city is very ranch strained.

Here an immense crowd of men, mostly composed of members of the Carpenters' union, whb, of course, were unknown to the police, were gathered on all four owners. Again the word was given to uharge, and another clubbing, nearly as severe as the initial attack, was administered to those who refused to heed the warning of the officers to disperse. The dull and sickening thud of the rosewood billies, as they crashed down upon the heads of the luckless idlers, could be heard at a distance of a hundreg feet or more. Many CJf the men attacked piled headlong over each other into the saloon, the others pushing north on Fourteenth street. ias* Heads. ■■IM Dm Good People. Chicago, May 6.—A subscription list for the aid of the families of the policemen killed was put in circulation on 'Change yesterday. Witlun less than an hour about $4,000 was subscribed. Mr. P. D. Armour headed the list with a subscription of (500. Several other wealthy members subscribed a like amount Then a line of 1250 donations followed. The fund soon amounted to (8,500. One paper was kept on the floor to receive signatures, while the other was being circulated among the large dealers in their offices. The subscription reached (11,000 before night. As soon as the firing ceased, Maj.
