Rioting •* the Chicago Yard* Reanlts in the Death of a Bystander. A Mob Attacks a Train, and Pink­ erton Men in It UseTheiiV Weapons. The Hea Who Fired Placed Under [Chicago special.] When it was announced that the jitrike was over the big packers went out to pur­ chase hogs. Armour & Co. bought 2,000, and the market went up twen%'-five cents per 100 pounds. The fact that the old men were to be taken back sent consternation to the hearts of the imported men, and they concluded that they had belter tender their resignations. Mr.' Cudahy, of Ar­ mour's house, asked the men to remain, and head clerk Bomers told them that if they remembered their numbers they could at anytime secure employment at Armour's. No inducement could be given the men to stay. They dally refused, and finally a train was Bent for tp take them to the city. One hundred and sixty Pinkerton men, under the command of Capt. Frank Joy, Were detailed to escort the men. They oc­ cupied the three rear coaches of the train. At the Stock Yards Y, at Thirty-ninth street, the train was blocked for a moment by a freight train. Another detachment of guards was taken on board at this point, and the train again started for the city. A crowd of about two hundred men and boys, who had been detained by parsing trains, were gathered at the soutn side of the crossing. They broke out into a chorus of jeers and cat-calls, but • it is claimed by witnesses that no demonstra­ tion of actual violence was made. On the other hand, it is charged that they bom­ barded the train with rocks, and that some­ body in the crowd fired a pistol. However this may be, the train had scarcely passed Halsted street crossing when a man on the rear platform fired a revolver into the crowd. The Pinkerton men in the rear followed with a regular volley of shots out of the windows of the train, aimed at the crowd, and Terence Begley, a well-known citizen of Lake, was mortally wouuded. The Pinkerton men, as eye-witnesses say, fired in every direction, and did not cease the fusillade until Wallace street, three blocks distant from Halsted street, was reached. Shots were fired into Schimmerman's packing-house, and George Barnum, the superintendent of tne firm, had a narrow escape. He was standing at a window on the second floor and the bullet almost grazed his head, imbedding itself in the wall. Several shots were fired into Flanni- gan & Huff's packing-house, where several men were stand ng at open windows. J. Shaunuessy, a flagman, and L. Carroll, a brakeman, were standing at the door of the switch shanty, about one hundred feet from Halsted street. They say that bullets whizzed in all directions, one passing through the sash and two through the boards on the opposite side of the shanty. These two bullet holes are almost directly in line with the place where Begley stood when he was shot. Estimates of the num­ ber of shots fired by the guards vary from twelve to one hundred, twenty being the average number. Terence Begley, the fatally injured man, was leading his horse slowly westward on Halsted street when the shot was fired. He dropped the bridle and exclaimed: "I am shot:" A brakeman named Russell helped the wounded man to a saloon near by, where a hasty,extyninati jn was made. The wound was not discovered, and Begley was told that he was only frightened. In a dazed manner he started toward Flannigan's packing house. He had tak -n but a few- steps when he suddenly fell to the ground. A wagon was procured and he was taken to his home, 4211 Emerald avenue, where a thorough examination showed that the bul­ let had passed through the abdomen, en­ tering at the right side and coming out on the left side, glancing upward. Late in the night the unfortunate man died. Previous­ ly his ante-mortem statement was taken. It is as follows: "My name is Terence Begley. I am 41 years old. I think I cannot live, and make this as my dying statement as to how I re­ ceived the shot this l!*th day of October, 188(>. At about 12 o'clock I was going with a cripple cart containing one hog to Shoencman's slaughter­ house, near Fortieth and Halsted Btreets, in the Town of Lake, county of Cook, and State of Illinois. I had passed the Lake Shore and Michigau Southern crossing, and was going north and was near Mr. M. Schmidt's Ealoon on Halsted street, and was leading my hot se by tho head. Immediately after passing the crossing a passenger train of the Lake Shore and Michigan Sonthern Railroad came irom the Stock Yards east filled with Pink­ erton i olicemen. As they passed this crossing, where a large crowd had congre­ gated, cries* of 'Scabs' were heard fiom the crowd. As the rear end of the train pass­ ed the east side of Halsted street four or five or six shots were tired. I saw qnite a number of Pinkerton men standing on the rear platform of the train. I saw no one shout, but heard the shots and felt that I was shot, and left my horse and ran to Shoeneman's slaughter-house and sat down and told Pat Martin, a police officer of the Town of Lake, that I was shot. I at no time made any outcry or allusion to the Pinkerton men, and had nothing whatever to do with the crowd at the crossing, but attended strictly to my own business. Begley was too weak to sign his name, . but touched the pen, and his mark was j made. The witnesses were J. P. Mulcahey, Sergeant of Police; Frank Becker, and William Ryan. Immediately after the shooting the great­ est excitement prevailed, and had Capt. Markev, of the Town of Lake Police, stopped the train, as was suggested, gen­ eral riot and bloodshed would have been inevitable. The Captain let the train pass, j and telephoned to the Twenty-second Street Police Station. From.this place and ! from the Armory squads of officers were I immediately dispatched to the scene. | Excited groups of people assembled on ] every corner and t xpr used by word and j action the deepest indignation. There | were no violent demonstrations, but the ; word went around ti.at if the Pinkerton men who did the shooting were brought back and lodged in the" town jail there would be trouble before morning. j The train was met at llariison street by ' the city police, and 123 Pinkerton men and about sixty men and boys who had left em­ ployment in the stock yards were marched to the Armory. The workmen, being un­ armed. were at once discharged. The Pinkerton men then arranged themselves in lines, and throe sm ill bo^s from Lake, John lioland, Timothy Neila:id, and B. Hie key, who claimed to have seen the shooting, were told to identify the men who had tired. The lads, after some hesitation, picked our of the crowd Joseph l-Iill and Walter At drews, both young men. Aft r the identification of the two the Pinkerton men were marched into the police court-room, whe e each man's ritte or pisLol was exam­ ined. Only one weapon that showed evi­ dence of having recently been discharged was found. An empty shull was found in the W inchester carried by Emmons Shaw. After the examinaton William A. Pinker­ ton stepped forward, calling out: "All who fired shuts from tho cars stand up like men. There's nothing to be fright­ ened about." One youug man rose and went to Mr. Pinkerton. His name was Robert J. Ba tram. "There must be more," said Mr. Pinker­ ton, "for about twelve ohots were ftred." Two bewrdtoMr young feOowa who were Bitting together, Blehard D. Labes and Gfey Stivers, then went forward. The six were locked np, and will be held pending judicial inquiry. Hill and Andrews, whom the boys claimed to have identified, did not admit having done any shooting. The other Pinkerton men were released. .-v,? The Local Pien. Chicago Daily News: Yesterday** Oc­ currences should be the death-knell of the employment of armed men by any but the lawfully constituted authorities. Until them have demonstrated their inadequacy to protect property and preserve the peace, no private citizen, nor any number of such may usurp their functions. That way lie civil warfare and the reign of the mob. Inter Ocean: Tho action of the Pinker­ ton police, shootiag into a crowd of people, appears to have been wholly unjustifiable. Lnless circumstances more palliating than any yet brought out can be shown, tli« men who participated in the dastardly deed ought to receive the full punishment allot­ ted to such crimes by the law. It is very unfortunate that just when the labor trou­ bles were being amicably adjusted, a few bad men, intrusted with guns and tempo­ rary authority, should, by an act both foolish and criminal, stir up anew the spirit oc re­ sentment. In such times only cool-headed men should be intrusted either with author­ ity or fire-arms, as action such as that yes­ terday not only incites the people against the guardians of the peace, but tends to bring them into contempt. Mr. Pinkerton's future usefulness will be lessened by yester­ day's occurrence. REVIEWING THE 8TKIKE. • A Short Hixtory of Its Causes and tt Crai* parison with Former Strikes. | from the Chicago Daily News.] V ' Regarding the great stock yards strike which has just terminated, a short review of its history and the causes which led to it may not prove uninteresting, because it occupies a peculiar position in the history of great labor troubles. It may be said to be the first occasion on which a large body of organized men retreated in good order, with ranks unbroken. In this respect it is entirely different from its great predecessor of 1879-80. In the early months of 1879 a number of men met and, organized the Butchers' Union. Previous to the organization of this union there had been no combined action on the part of (the men employed in the packing industry'. This union was a success from the 6tart. It rapidly drew into its circles the large majority of the 10,000 men employed in the yards. Con­ fiding in its strength, the union demanded and obtained from the packers an increase of 25 cents a day. This was in August. The union grew in power and began to arrogate to itself supreme control of the whole packing industry. Jack Hart, a butcher in ti.e employ of Armour, was asked to join the union and ret used. Sev­ eral others declined to join, and the union demanded their discharge, laying down the rale that non-union men should not work with union men. The packers called a halt, and refused to accede to a demand they considered flagrantly unjust. They had foreseen trouble, and ha I per­ fected an organization similar to the one now existiug. They resolved not' to recog­ nize the union as a body, and prep ired for the strike which was inevitable. The men struck on December 18, 1879. No body of men were ever more confident of success. The same arguments and statements were made by both sides as were advanced in the last strike. The men claimed that they were indispensable, and that it was impos­ sible to till their places. The packers claimed that they were paying bigger wag's than any others in the country. .They called attention to the advantages of West­ ern^ packing points, and threatened to move their business to these, the natural loca­ tions of the packing industry. The news­ papers deplored the situation, aad predict­ ed the decadence of Chicago as a packing center. The fight was a long and bitter one. The men exhausted all the weapons used in former strikes and invented new ones. As fast as experts were obtained they were in­ duced to quit, the union paying them their wages in full. The packers advertised all over the country for help, and hundreds of £reen hands poured in from all directions. They were put to work as last as they ap­ plied. All the packers were not -involve d in the struggle, several of the smaller firms acceding to the demand of the union. The following firms were directly interested: Armour & Co., Ric her Provision Company, Fowler Brothers, Chapin & Cudahy, Allerton Packing Com­ pany. Jones & Stiles, and Baldwin. Tho strikers received a severe blow when Father Ca ten, a leading Catholic priest, advised the men to concede the right of the packers to employ whom they pleased. The new . men were subjected to all the annoyances which 10,000 men could devise. They were beaten and mobbed whenever an opportu­ nity presented itself. A large number of special police were sworn in, and with much difficulty preserved a semblance of order. On December 27 the packers be­ came alarmed, and succeeded in having the militia assemble in their armories. They were not called to the yards, but were held in readiness for several days. The Butchers' Union was rapidly becom­ ing demoralized. Their funds vanished, and the families of the strikers were in want of food. One bv one they joined the ranks of the so-called "scabs," a word which had just entered the vocabulary of labor nomenclature. As the cause waned, the remnant of the strikers grew more desperate. Assaults and overt acts in­ creased. Several men were shot at; oth­ ers were stabbed and cut. The whole town of Lake was permeated with lawlessnes. Meanwhile the packers were having things all their own way. House after house joined the non­ union movement. The strikers who returned were requested to Bign an obliga­ tion binding themselves to join no society inimical to the interests of the packers. The union was on the point of dissolution. On Jan. 14, 1880, the great strike made its last desperate struggle and expired, and with it the Butchers' Union, which gave it birth The rush to secure positions became a stampede. On that day thousands made application for work. Many were refused. Infuriated by a sense of overwhelming de­ feat, and maddened by rage and hunger, they made an onslaught on the houses. Armed with clubs and "gam-sticks," they forced their way into th j houses, their ranks swelled by hundreds of thngs and roughs. The men in the houses fled for their lives. Many were beaten, some se- verly, and for a day the mob reigned. It was the last of the stiike. Order was soon secured and maintained. Hundreds of the Strikers never regained those situations they imperiled when they struck. The strikers lost $350, (KiO in wages, besides their time. Tney gained an experience, however, which may have been worth the price paid. No local, organization ever superseded the Butchers' Union. The Knights of La­ bor obtained a footing in the stock yards, and to-day include fullt' 23,u00 stock­ yard employes. The eight-hour day was earned last spring, after a nominal s rike last ng but two days. The Coopers' As­ sembly of the Knights of Labor appointed a commi:t e, wh eh waited ou th • p sck^rs. Mr. Kent offered ten hours' pay for nine hours'work, o" nine hours'pav for eight horn's' vork. The m n accepted the latter proposition The same day the men t rough- out the ynrJs struck for ten hours' pay for ei^ht hours' work. The seco id day of the strike the superintend nt of G. W. Swift, by a misapprehension, it is claimed, put up a noti e granting the de­ mand. The news spread throu h the yards, and before night the same surrender was made by nearly every house in P >cking- town. Ken soon gave the same terms and the strike came to a S| e dy and b'oodk ss termii a ion. The eight-hour svstem has been in operation since, and the puckers claim that for them ii has proven a fai ur . All otters made by them to ti e employes for a compromise having failed, ihey decided Ito return to tho ten-hour day, and the strike now terminated is the result. -"•"ViV. SWIFT DI8TBU0TI0N. Johnson's Bayon and Radford, Hear Sabine Z*ass, Swejpt -iE Ont It Is Now Thought That the Total toss ot Life Will Reach Tw? .v Hundred and Fifty. [Beaumont (Texas) special.] Refugees from the flooded district about Sabine Pass continue to arrive on every small craft that comes up the river. It is estimated by persons here who have been over the scenes of devastation at Sabine Pass, Johnson's Bayou, and Taylor's Bayou that the death-list will exceed 250 souls. Eighty-five corpses have been re­ covered and buried around Johnson's Bayou, and fifty-four bodies thus far have been buried at Sabine, while sixty-six persons are still missing at Sabine, and these are, of course, dead, as it would be impossible for any human being to survive thus long in the Bwamp and lagoons with­ out food or shelter. An examination of the country back of Sabine and immediately in the vicinity of Beaumont shows that the salt water came back from the coast fully forty miles through the swamps, and hundreds of thousands of acres are still submerged by water that was forced back and has no outlet. This fact makes the search for bodies very difficult. Carcasses of thousands of drowned cattle, hoes, horses, and fowl are strewn evervwhere, and clouds of sea gulls and buzzards hover over the desolate country for an area of thirty square mileB. It is known thai the number of sufferers around Johnson's Bayou, who have lost everything, will reach 1,200, while the Sabine sufferers number 300, one half of whom are now in Beau­ mont. Parties who returned to-day from the Johnson Bayou district say that sixty persons are still missing there, and the searching parties have almost reached the conclusion that many of these missing were drowned and their bodies carried out sea by the receding waves. A correspondent who has just returned from Sabine Pass telegraphs from Orange that the turkey-buzzards are soaring over Sabine for miles around on land and water, it is one vast charnel-house. The town is swept out of existence. What was a pros­ perous village when last Tuesday dawned is now the center of wreck and desola ion. There are 127 persons missing and sup­ posed to be dead. Only about twenty-five bodies have thus far been recovered. There is not one sound house in the town of Sabine. The residences of Dr. Gail- land and Editor McClanahan are the only ones that can be repaired. Every other house is an absolute wreck. This, in brief, is the Btory of the storm. Innumer­ able touching, heartrending incidents of the storm are related by the survivors. One house containing fourteen colored persons was seen to go down with a crash, aud every one of them was lost. Incidents are related of husbands lashing wives and children to floating wrecks and then seeing them killed by heavy logs being diiven against them. The damage to property can only be estimated by the value of the town, for all is lost. The Sabine and EaBt Texas Railroad track is washed out for a distance of ten miles. The trees have floated off, and the rails are twisted like wires, the effect of the great hurricane. Millions of dead fish were cast up by the waves, and thousands of birds also strew the ground. A woman in a perfectly nude state was found roaming around on the prairie yesterday, five miles from Sabine. She was demented, and could not tell her name. When the Government boat Pen­ rose reached there Columbus Martie was found rowing around the delta looking for the bodies of his family. He said: "My­ self, wife, and three children were clinging to a floating roof which was gradually breaking to pieces. One of the little ones dropped off and then another. I was holding the youngest, aud soon my wi:'e said, 'tiood- by, husband; I am going.' I could not reach her. The piece of the roof supporting her broke off and she sank before my eyes. I held onto the voungest child, named Pearl, some time longer. The child, ad­ dressing me, said: 'Papa, I'm tired; won't you walk with nieV The piece of the roof I was on now was crumbling to pieces. I told the little one to kiss me. She put both her little arms around my neck, gave me a big squeeze, and just then a wr,ve dashed us off, and I saw her no more. Great God! Why didn't 1 go down, too?" He was pressed to go on board the Penrose, but refused, saying: "Here among these la­ goons are tne bodies of my wife and chil­ dren, and here will I stop until I can find tlsem." No tongue can tell how the people have suffered during the past few days. In many cases the dead ones are considered the lucky ones. [Orange (Texas) dispatch.] The steamer Emily P. has returned, bringing 160 additional sufferers from Johnson's Bayou, who are entirely desti­ tute of everything that is necessary to sus­ tain lite. They were received at the wharf by our relief committees, who are doing all in their power to make them comfortable. Mo t of them are women and children. The Emily P. will return to the Bayou im­ mediately to bring back 150 more persons who are waiting there, and who are now homeless, penniless, and without clothing. We now have to take care of 210 persons from that section. One can only know the heartrending condition of these people by seeing and conversing with them. The corrected list of the drowned at John­ son's Bayou, as near as can be obtained is as follows: Whites--F. Gallon, wife, and grandson; ei^ht children of Sam Brown; Mr^. E. Foushet's four children; Joseph Kuke, wife, und sewn children; four of Frank Tomer's children; Mrs. S. Galler and five children, Mrs. Joe Luke; four of George Stephens' children; Mrs. Shell Wayley and four children; . Mrs. A1 ford Lam I eit aud two children; Mr. Berry and daughter; Al- phonse Degard; Adam Smith, and one child; Mis. George Smith, and four chil­ dren. Colored--Henry Jofinson, wife, and three children; Mrs. Jack Lewis; Dick Ham- brick, wife, and four children, and James Lewis. Only a few of their bodies were recovered on the trip. We have two steamers, two schooners, and twenty-five sail boats doing active work in gathering in the Buffering and burying the dead from Sabine and tne Bayou. Orange has not yet received, thus far, a ; ingle dollar to assist in taking c tie of all these people. The citiz ns earnestly ap­ peal to all on behalf of the d stituto suf- lerers. Contributions may be sent to J. Sanders, M.iyor of Orange. Xiik llarons. (Chicago special. 1 The regular semi-annuil meeting of the Milk-Shippers' Central Union was held at the Sherman House ye-terday morning. The Union is composed of shippers of milk to Chicago from the States of Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin, and represents about *J,t3()0 cans of milk of eight g .Hons each, being three-fourths of the milk brought into Chi ago. The union was organized last April, when prices were tiifcd at 85 cents per ':an for the iollowing six months. The meeting yesterday was to fix prices for the ensuing six months, Novem­ ber to April, inclusive. Mr. W. W. Norton, of Dund e, 111., presided. The union had resulted in the making of 10 cents per can to even* member for the last six montlis,' which means $r>00 per day on the basis of 5,000 cans. That in a year would amount to $182,500, which would pay for_22B,125 caus, equal to ah increase of 623 cans a day KNI9HT8 0F L4B08.

Mr. Powd«rty was and was absent from the convention, remaining in hiB room the greater part of thedky. In hS absence -GenenS'seoreSry £itollman presided. The new constitution was taken up ana seven! sections were acted upon. The duties of cer<1 first passed, and the important Question of whether the locals should be to form State Assemblies was also settled. There was a big fight on this matter. J. E. Qulnn. of New York, opposed tho provision, sad A7T Schafer, of Michigan, led the dol»gat*g who were in favor of state Assemblies. Firrt the whole section was adopted. It provided that the locals should form State assemblies and be subjeot to the oetion of such. This was finally changed so as to allow ten locals to form a State assembly, but those who deeline to eo into it will not bo bound in anv way by that body. Schafer declared that the whole section having been adopted it could not be changed by a majority vote. Litchman declared that he was out of order, and Schafer exclaimed: "I know that I am right, and you can't bamboozle me, as you have others. "Let him go on record," said the Chairman to his clerkti. The question of dis- tricts wftB settled to tho SAtinfaction of alL Any twenty-five locals of one trade mav form a National district. Another important change was that locals which aro attached to tho Gen- eral Assembly shall not have representation in that body. Then the question of represents- tion was taken up nnd settled. There wero & score of plana and twice as many amendments, but out of the whole finally oame the decision that hereafter the representation shall be on» from each 3,000. Thomas O'Reilly, of the telegraphers' district, offered a resolution, at the -Richmond assembly, on the 18th, that the Knights cf Labor demand tho passage of a bill by Congress authorizing the purchase by tho Government of the tela- graph system of the country. Tho motion to- refer the balance of the revised constitution to the executive board and a committao of four was adopted. This leaves the matter of national trade districts exactly where it was befoie tho convention. Similar action was taken with the balance of the report of the committee on law. including all documents on the revision of th* constitution. Ths Committee on the State of tho Order indorsed the report of the General Master Workman and General Secretary-Treas­ urer. Reports of numerous committees were adopted and indorsed. A resolution expressing sympathy with Ireland was passed. A report suggesting the formation of a con­ gress of thirty-eight Knights of Labor to sit in •Washington during the session of Congress, was referred to the local ussemblies. All matters in relation to stamps, labels, or protective designs placed on articles made by knights of Labor were referred to the executive board. Reso- tutions were adopted favoring the establish­ ment of libraries devoted to labor literature at. state capitals; against convict labor; recom­ mending local assemblies to work and vote only for candidates who pledge themselves to sustain the principles of the Knights; favoring the ad­ mission of colored apprentices in shops on the same basin as white ones. A proposition favor­ ing the establishment of orphan asylums for the children of deceased members ot the order was referred to local assemblies with favorable mention. All other matters referred to the Committee on the Htate of the Order were re­ ferred to the Executive Board. It was voted that a committee by appointed to promote fra­ ternal relations between the Knights and ttw VatronR of Husbandry. The Committso on Appeals and GrievAnoes obtained the floor when the general assembly went into session at Richmond on the 19th* The report relates to matters of general dis­ cipline that are of little intjrest to others than members. One of the cises dealt with was a charge of conduct unbecoming a delegate, brought against Sam L. Lefflngwcll, of District Assembly No. 105, of Indianapolis. His namo was ordered to be stricken from the list of delegates. A com­ mittee was appointed, which Bent the following telegram to Gov. Rich vrd J. Oglesby. of Illinois, at Quincy, HI., where tho Soldiers Home was dedicated : "The General Assembly Knights of Labor, in annual convention assem­ bled, both the blue and the gray, sends yon greeting on tha occasion of tho dodication of the Soldiers and Sailors' Horn ) at Quincy. May the duty so nobly done by your State be an in­ centive to other States to do likewise, until ev­ ery needy hero may havo tho shelter of a home." At the afternoon session the General Assembly Continued consideration of the report of the Committee on Appeals and Grievances, and adopted a resolution deciding that members of the International Cigar- Makers' Union must elect whether they will remain members of that union or of ttae Order of Knights of Labor, but that they cannot re­ main members of both. The report of the Com­ mittee ou Finance was presented and a lopted. It provides that the salary of tho Grand Master Workman shall henceforth be J -.ODJ a year, and those of General Secretary and General Treas­ urer S2.030, and that the m ambers of the Ex­ ecutive Board and General Worthy Foreman shall receive St per day and expanses wtitte OB d^y. o The General Assembly Knights of Labor be­ gan its last session of the convention Of 1S83 at nine o'clock the morning of the 2Jth inst.
