F*lr Cm* Nat CONTRARY to all expectations the Clingman injunation case against the World's Fair was not decided Thurs­ day. .The three Judges who heard the motion failed to agree. Judges Dunne and Brentano weoe for the dissolution of the injunction, while Judge Goggin decided that it should stand. Though the practice is that where three Judges ait together the majority shall rule, it was the contrary which prevailed in this case. After the three Judges had taken their places on the bench, Bays a Chicago dispatch, Judge gin attempted to enter an order to continue the case for sixty days alleged attempt to defeat the decision concurred in by his two associates to dissolve the injunc­ tion. Judge Dunne, to whom the read­ ing of the majority opinion had been Intrusted, insisted on his right to do jso. He read the ojunion dissolving the jinjunction, and Judge Goggin re­ newed his attempt to grant a continu­ ance. Ex-Judge Moran, re; |the Exposition Company, adi |Court, referring to the attempted continuance as " judicial anarchy." uudges Brentano and Dunne induced Judge Goggin to leave the bench, and jthen weal into conference with the [Judge tn Chambers. After the con- jfere nee Judges Brentano and Dunne Returned to the bench and announced that Judge Goggin no longer desired jthem in conference with him. Judge iGoggin then entered an order over­ ruling the motion to dissolve, and re- jfused ex-Jsd&e Moran'-s request to set ^ date for hearing a motion to vacate t order. at Milwaukee. -THE sixteenth annual convention of American Bar Association was balled to order in Plymouth Church, Milwaukee, by President John Ran­ dolph Tucker, of Lexington, Va.

Wilson repeal bill Most of the members of the House were in their seats at 10 o'clock. The surrounding corridors and lobbies of the floor were also filled with a throng j of people curious to know the outcome j of the oratorical contest which has | been going on within the chamber for ; fourteen days. Eve a those fortunate enough to become possessed of seats in comparative quiet found it impossible to maintain any degree of comfort, for the atmosphere was hot and muggy; heavy clouds lowered over the city, and there was no breath of air stirring. The Leaders Appear. The leaders of the House attracted attention as they came op the floor, Mr. Reed being particularly noticea­ ble because of his suit of Kentucky jeans, enlivened by a red four-in-hand scarf. Gen. Tracey and Mr. Bland were busily engaged in conference with their lieutenants, preparing for the decisive count of votes. Lafe Pence, the enthusiastic populist from Colorado, earnestly assured Amos Cum- mings, of New York, that the end was not yet, despite the defeat of the advo­ cates of free coinage. Bourke Cock- ran did not appear until after the Speaker's gavel fell, but Messrs. Harter, Raynor, and Tv-m L. Johnson, anti- silverite*, buzzed and beamed with the anticipation of victory. After the reeding of the journal John M. Wever, of Now York\ who had not before taken his ̂ eit, appeared at the bar of t le House on the arm of a colleague and was sworn in by the Speaker. The resolution contained in the or­ der of procedure on the t liver ques­ tion was rep rtod by the Clerk, pro­ viding for a vote first upon free coinage of silver at the present ratio of lti to It tl e feeond for ratio of 17 to 1. the third at tho ratio of 18 to 1, th3 fourth at the ratio of 10 to Land ths other at the ratio of 20 to 1. The sixth question cn the order calls for the revival of the Bland-Alli- scn law cf 1878, which was repealed by the Sherman law of 1880, and the last is on the Wilson bill to repeal the Sherman law :'n terms as follows: So much of the act approved July 14,1890, as directs the Secretary of the Treasury to pur­ chase from time to time silver bullion to the aggregate amount of 4,«K>,I*<» ounces, or PO much thereof as may be offered in each month at the market price thereon, not exceeding $1 for alibi grains of pure sliver, and to issue in i payment for such purchase treasuiy notes of | the United States, be and the same is hereby i repealed. But this repeal shall not impair nor 1 in anv manner affect the legal tender quality of the standard silver dollars heretofore ; coined, and the faith and credit of the United States arc hereby pledged to maintain the par­ ity of the gold afid silver coin of the United Btates at the present leeal ratio or such Other ratio as may be established by law. Voting on Amendments. The Wilson bill having been read, Mr. Bland offered his amendment-- that of free coinage at a ratio of 16 to 1 --and it was defeated by a vote of yeas 124, nays 226, amid applause from the anti-silver men, who had rallied one more majority than they expected. Not nearly as much interest was taken in the second vote, which was on the ratio of 17 to 1. The decisive vote on the 16 to 1 ratio seemed to dis­ hearten the silver men, and in place cf the attention which was paid to the first, was substituted a listleseness which spread throughout the hall. The ballot resulted in the defeat ef the amendment by a vote of yeas, 100? nays, 240. The Populist members did not i vote. The other standards were de­ feated and the Wilson bill passed in regular order. j The membars who stood by silver under, the Bland-Allison act, but who j finally voted for unconditional repeal were: Alderson (Dem.), Black (Dem., ' Ga.) Brats (Dem.), Brook shire (Dem.), Bunn (Dem.), Conn (Dem.), Donovan Dem.), Doolittle (Rep.), Edmunds Dem.), Hare (Dem.), Holman (Dem.), Hunter (Dem.), Laweon (Dem.), Lester (Dem.), Linton (Rep.), Marshall (Dem.), McCreary (Dem.), McMillin (Dem.), Meredith (Dem.), Montgomery iDem.L Oates (Dem.), 0'Ferrall(Dem.), Paschal (Dem.), Paynter (Dem.), Pendleton (Dem.), Post (Rep.), Price (Dem.j, Richardson (Dem.), Ritchie (Dem.), Russell (Dem.), Stone (Dem.), Swanson (Dem.), Taylor (Dem.), Tucker (Dem.), Turpin (Dem.), Tyler (Dem.), Weadock (Dem.), Whiting (Dem.).

Late reports say that the loss from the terrible fire' which nearly swept the village of South Chicago off the .earth will be at leaet one-tourth less than was estimated during the progress •ot the conflagration. The official re­ port of the police is that 131 houses were burned in place of 200 or250 aa reported first.

Chicago's unemployed, led by shift­ iest agitators, again brought on the in­ evitable riot which has lately followed their daily street parades. For a brief time the elements were at work which create destruction, both of life and property, and the results might have oeen lamentable had not the police been prompt and vig­ orous in suppress­ ing the outbreak. As it was, there w e r e b r u i s e d heads and lacer­ ated flesh, both of {>olicemen and aymen. It was a very short but bloody battle be­ tween the officers DISCUSSING THE SXTUA- and a riotous mob Tioff. of at least 1,000 men. live police officers were hurt, but by vigorous use of their clubs they put the rioters to flight. Fortunately, says a dispatch, the battle was fought in the shadow of the city hall directly in front of police , , ,, headquarters. Elsewhere it might free COIEa !FE at the have been more serious. Instantly there were enough of the officers of the law at hand to supress and disperse the crowds. But there were exciting movements afterward, for the police from the neighboring precirfcts had been summoned and they elme by tozens in patrol wagons with li>rses at ill gallop. For twenty minutftj these re-enforcements poured in from every direction. For a week unemployed men have been parading the streets in violation of the ordinances and to the obstruc­ tion of business traffic. Emboldened , by the reluctance of the police to pro- | voke trouble, the men became bolder I day by day, until several persons had been assaulted for attempting to pass ' through the line. Saturday, after lis­ tening to several incendiary speeches from loud-mouthed agitators, the crowd started on its daily parade, headed by a band furnished by some one who, it appears, has money to buy bands but cannot buy bread. There were fully 1,000 men in line. ancL a cabman going north on Clark street attempted to drive through the line.

NEARLY 100 different machines have, been invented for boring rock. THE ideas of American bridge build­ ers have been copied all over the world. THERE are over seventy miles of tun­ nels cut in the solid rock of Gibraltar. THE first large iron bridge in the world was built over the Severn in 1777. PNEUMATIC tubes are now in use in most telegraphic and newspaper offices. CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE was taken from Egypt to England in a vessel built round ft. THE central span of the St. Louis bridge is 520 feet, the side 0pans 515 feet each. LEVEES were erected by the Baby­ lonians and Egyptians, described by Herodotus. THE famous bridge constructed by Queosn Nitocris, at Babylon, and de* scribed.by Diodorus, was five furlongs long.

The terrified cabman applied the whip to his horse and suc­ ceeded in breaking away. In a few minutes a Unit 3d States mail wagon attempted to pass through the line and again the mob surged around the vehicle, threatening to upset it, when some one cried: "Hold on/boys. That's Uncle Sam's wagon." "D----n Uncle Sam," cried a black-browed tough who had hold of a wheel. "Let's spill the mail." His less brutal comrades urged him to desist, and the parade was re­ sumed, but it was evident that the men meant mischief. Numbers of them bore clubs. Others stooped as they walked and were observed to pick up paving stones and carry them m their hands. All this time there had been no interference on ihe part of the police. Bunt Fwth Like a Volcano. As the turbulent portion of the pro­ cession, which had just been cheated of a victim at the intersection of Clark street, reached the Washington street entrance of the City Hall the brooding storm broke loose. The object of the mob's wrath was H. H. Martindale, who was seated in a buggy and was driving east on Washington street. Martindale asked for passageway, and this was the signal for an outburst of a volcano. Two dozen fierce-looking men sprang from the line and surround­ ed Martindale. Two biff fellows seized his horse by the bridle and others grasped the wheels of the vehicle, white they poured horrible curses upon the trembling occupant of the vehicle, who was too much frightened to utter a word. Those in front and those in the rear saw the crowd of excited men and ran toward the buggy. In a moment the street was jammed with hundreds of howling, cursing, frenzied men, who seemed wild with rage. With a howl of anger the mob made a united lurch at the buggy and threw it completely over, Martindale being thrown under the feet of the mob^ It was then that the police in­ terfered, taking vigorous and effec­ tive means of quelling tho disturbance. A number of arrests were made. May­ or Harrison has issued orders that no more parades will be permitted under any pretext, and meetings of idle men will De closely watched for signs of dis­ order.

Passengers in each of these three were maimed and mangled horribly and their shrieks of terror and pain were awful. Everybody in those cars was either killed or injured. The third car was oompletely thrown from traok. The Rockaway engine was wrecked. Its smokestack was carried away and its huge boiler resembled a pincushion from the timbers of the wrecked cars sticking into it.

The scene was indescribable. The dead and wounded were scattered through the wreckage both upon and beyond the tracks. Everything was spattered with the blood of the dead and wounded, and the cries of the lat­ ter rose above the hissing of steam and the calls of the frantic trainmen. As fast as the injured could be taken from the wreck they were carried to the relief train and cared for. The doctors on board worked swiftly and well, while the other medical men were out in the wreck applying restoratives and making hurried dressings of wounds to sustain the sufferers until they could be put on the ••relief train for more careful treatment. The dead were taken by special train to Newtown, which is nearest the scene of the acci­ dent, and placed in a morgue by the order of the Coroner. CROPS OF THE WORLOB Careful Estimates Prepared by the Aus­ trian Government Officials. The estimates of the harvests of the world, which are prepared annually by Austrian Government officials have been made public. The estimated yield for North America is 382,000,000 bushels of wheat, 24,333,000 bushels of rve, and 1,809,000,000 bushels of corn. The Hungarian Minister of Agriculture estimates the world's production of wheat this year at 2,279,000,000 bushels, against the official average of 2,280,- 000,000 annually for tho last ten years. He also gives the following figures: The deficits to be filled by the import- irg countries will require 379,000,000 bushels. The surplus available in ex­ porting countries to satisfy this de­ mand is 378,666,000 bushels. The pro­ duction of wheat and the deficit (amount needed ' above the domestic supply) in each importing country is given. Product in bushels. Great Britain France Germany ready fuel for their progress, and it was evident from the start that a seri­ ous blaze was inevitable. The flamSs were spread rapidly by the flying sparks in every direction, and seeing that the surrounding: property was in imminent danger, Captain Wilson at cnce turned in a 4-11 alarm. Another theory is that 9-year-old Birdie May, daughter of John May, who lived at 43048 Superior avenue, started the conflagration while at play in the yard of Patrick Tulley's house in the rear of William Giles' residence at 159 Ninety-first street. It is said that the child threw away a burning {>iece of paper she had lighted and it odged under the porch of the Tulley house, setting the rubbish on fire, the flames from which caught the house. Mrs. Tulley barely escaped from the house with her two children. From there the fire spread to the Giles' house and soon through the entire burned district. Nearly ore hundred and forty build­ ings went down before the flames like straw in a furnace, and an immense district, twenty acres in extent, is all that remains in blackened ana dis­ torted u^liuees of what was the site of a multitude of happy and contented homes. Immense lumber yards and huge coal sheds vanished Dafore the fierce onslaught of the fire, and hun­ dreds of South Chicago's population stood panic stricken and appalled around the charred fragments of their for­ mer homes. Utter desolation pre­ vailed among the homeless. Women and children roamed the streets until 8 o'clock in the morning. Some of them were given shelter by kind neighbors. Others slept on tne bare ground in back yards and vacant lots. Children were crying for food and their parents had none to give them. The community seemed paralyzed by the misfortune that had overtaken it. If tbe stories of the homeless ones around those rftins are to be believed the excitement attending the fire was made the occasion of wholesale rob­ bery. Men with wagons drove up to the houses nearest the fire, coolly load­ ed on their vehicles everything port­ able in the places and drove away in spite of the protests of the rightful owners.
