Vanderbilt Handsomsly Rewards the Fidelity of the New York Con- tral Employes, THE CITY. THE PEORIA RIOTERS, LOW JUNGR DRUMMOND SETTLED THEM, The cases of the elght contumacioun tndl- viduals who interfered with the running of the Toledo, Peorla & Warsaw Railroad were to have been heard yesterdsy morning, Owing, however, to the request of the Hon, M. C. Quinn, of Peorla, counsel for two of the men, Ennis and Mack, for moré time, the hearing of the cases was postponed untl! 1 o'clock in tha afternuon At that hour everything appearcd to be ‘in readiness. Judge Drummond shared the bench with Judge Blodgett. District-At- torney Bangs represented the Government, Mr. Jewett the Hevelyer of the Road, and Mr. Quinn the prisoners, whose handcuffs had been removed, and who sat ina row on one aide of the room, The court-room was uncomfortably full of epcctatora, Mr. Quinn sald he had a proposition to make which would shorten matters, and obvtate the necessity of taking much proof. should he make itto Judge Bangs aud Mr. Jowett pri- vately, or !n open court! Judge Drummond sald Mr. Quinn could do as he chose about that, Mr. Quinn then conferred with Judge Bangs and Mr. Jewett a few minutes, and, at the con- clusion of this short conference, sald that, after reading the davits, he was ready to admit that tho facts set forth were substantially truc, but be desired «to offer evidence in mitigation - of the offense with which theso men wero charged. He wished to show that Ennis and Mack had worked for this road; that it had befrieuded them and they had befriended it, and that they were interested in its property; that they were carried away by the exeltement of the hour to do what was wrong; that they were fgnorant that the road was {nu the hands of the Court; that they wera not thinking of courts at this time; that they were under the luilucnce of Mquor that day; that Evn's would not have made the demon- atration with the revolycr—which, by the way, was cmpty—bad he not been Intoxicated; that he afterwards went up to Mr, Finney, Superintendent of the road, and excused hiinaclf, ond apvlogized for what ho had done; that nelther Ennis nor Mack Iifted a hand, with the exception of flourishing the unloaded revolver; aud that they did not teardown the Marshal's notices that the road was in the hands of the Vourt. In concluding tho plea, Mr. Quinn said ho could simply pro- scnt thelr contrition,—their regrets that they were carried away by the tempest which swayed no many minds. Judge Bangs remarked that the teatimony in all the cases WAS SUBSTANTIALLY IDENTICAL, Judge Drummond—You hayo heard the afM- davita read, and understand the charges, if you uuderatand English. 2 The two Germans said they couldn't under- stand English enough to enablo them to under stand tho indictments, Mr, Jewett reminded Judge Drummond that the afldavits had not been read to the men, and tho Judge ordered the reading, After the reading one of the men jumped up and asked If bo might say a word, Judge Drummond—Presently. If you want, thesu witnesses examined, you can put any questions you wish, But the main point ts this: whether you were in that crowd and took part with that crowd in preventing the operation of this road {p the Jparassion 8f Mr. Hopkins, the Recelver, That ts the main thing. ote you aro not guilty of that, why, of course, wo don't de- alte ta huni gay ane Who le fonocent: It ts only those who are who wei 1 who took part to thst erowae 7 cre “meres and Sherer—I wasn't in the mob. 1 went home at IL o'clock that ulgbt, aud cap prove it by my mother that I wasin ted. 1 was there Thurs- day. ‘but didn't obstruct ao railroad operations, ie udge Drummond—What were you dolog ere Bherer—I went down there with a business man, Mr. Lyon, and stayed around till about 13 o'clock, aud then went bome, Judge Drummend—But did you Sherer—No, sir, 1 nover put my ork. Judge Drummond—Did you say anything? Bhotereon Tuight have been halving = qjudze Drummond-—What did you say? 4 erer—Well, 1 was talking with some fel- lows. Judge Drummond—Now, were you helping iets or encouraging them? Sherer—No, sir; I never pulled s 4 — Judge Drunmond—That ia not the question, The question is, did you ald or encourge these men Bherer—No, slr; I did not. Hamilton end Jeffries also dented thelr con- nection with the mob that did the interfering, whereupon Judge Druimmoud thought It just as well to produce what witnesses there wereon band for the purpose of seeing what these de- niala were worth, Sir, William Wincuo, of Peoria, the ticket- agent at the Union Depot at that piace, testifled thas he saw al meu, except Ennis, at the depot st 10:15 Thursday morning, when the passcuogertrain from West arrived As $000 as it stopped, these men boarded it, cut the mail-car off, sct up the brakes on the cuaches aud cut the bellrope. The sane party, headed a, Mack, tuterfered with the next to the Weat, allowing only matk-car to pro- ceed, Bach af the mtn bad a stick in dis hand do anything? w two or three feet long. Witness could not dis- tinguish just what the men sail, but he hap- pened to hear the two Germans say something about going up towards theenzine, and moving thither as they apoke, Tn rexponse to Mr. Quinn's questions. the wit- neen eail the men all followed Mack, who seemed to be thetr leader, although witness heard bint five no orders. Buerer, Gilhaurer, Hamilton, and others, tm- proved the epportanity to cross-qnestion the witness for themaclves, When he atuck to his facta, and charged them with stopping the train or guarding ft, they each art all stoutly denied that they had done any such thing. THE TWO GERMANS. were then eramined, through the afd of an tne terpecter, and stated In substance that they were in the crowd, but, did not commit any o} the depredations charged upon thetn, L. 1. Brown was the conductor who waa to take the 10:15 train from Peoria cast. He tes- Lfied that {t came in on time, and that the crowd atopped it, the two Germans, particular. ly, naylng it muat not geon. Presently a man not among there prisoners—told bin he muat, get off, and, when be refuaed to du eo, one of elled, Knock bin off, the — —,"andatnun iu the crowd shoyed Lin off the atens, During the giving of the last witness’ teatt mony, the two Germans pricked up thelr ears, and were evidently able to understand the tes timony without the Interpreter’s sid. Frank Hitchcock, Sherilf of Peoria County, held up his right hand, with just one finger on ft, and sworn he'd tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. He then tes- led to the acta of the riutera when the train came in that niorning, Mack scemed to lead the nob, and to be luoked upto by them. Gil- hauser, when he saw witness, stepped back and out of the crowd, The Germans, who spoke English well enough for him to untlerstand them, helped to hosa matters, giving directions about cutting off cars, backing them out of the yard, etc, Most of the crowd had sticks, ene or two having broom-handice. Witneas had also heard Mack say to Finney that he would allow tha jnger trains to run the next morning. Up to that tline the mob had only let the mail cara go out, the passenger cars being uncoupled. Mr. Quinn cross-examined the witness for the evident purpose of drawing from him an aidlmis- lon that Mack and Eanis were drunk. But tho witness didn’t adtnlt. ife stated, however, that Ennis quit the strike after Thursday morning, and appeared to be eorry for what he hal done. Mr. Quiun reirarked that thls ought te go in mitigation of the offenre, Judge Drummond—You say they are sorry; they seem to be surrs; and [ think it's about time for them to be sorry. [Laughter.]} JOSEPH STETTLEN, a switcbman in the yn. testifica that the crowd had uncoupled the cars on the morniug train ond prevented Its provveding East. At 4 o'clock In the afternoon they stopped another train, and Mack stated, in’ answer to a question from somebody, that the train wold go no farther, Witness bad not seen Enonfein tho crowd. At another thine Mack and Hamilton told witness to tell Finney that “ they would let the passenger traina run, but they'd ba — — if they'd let any freight go out! ‘Thomas F. McCrea, the engineer on the 8:40 a m. train going Weat, testificd that Ennis compelled him to stop the train at the C., B. & & crossing. © Eunis had a pistol In bis hand and threatened to ki) witness unless he stopped. HS conductor thon ordered him to stop, anil he did so. In answer to Mr. Quinn's Snrerrogatorics, Mr. McCrea said Ennis had always behaved pretty well up to this tine, In his opinion, Ennis drank too much Iquor for ils own good. This was probably tha case that day. and he had ¢con- cluded, for hlinselt, to “forgive him and say nothing abont it." William Worrell, another engineer, told bow Ennis and Mack lad conducted negotiations be tween the railroad men and the coopers. Mack made a speech tu the mob of caupera and loal- ers Wednerday night and told therm that they would stop the trains, and that {! there was any poet ae there thet didn't know how to throw a train off he would show him how. Witness also testified to the atopping of the 8:40 stn. train. Mr. Quinn then look the witness in band, and. tried to sbow that the witness was af first one of the strikers himaclf, The witness main- taincd that be had Fone around to the mecting to learn the force uf the mosement, and that he had too much regard for his Hfe and banpiness tu get up there and? tote his views, which were opposed tolt, There was no dispesition among the railroad employes to strike, as they were éatisficd with Mr. Finney's decision. Morton Haughey, another engincer on the road, testifled to having witnceacd the stoppage of the morning, afternoon, and evening trains, When tho afternoon-train was stopped, Mack anfl Sherer gold it would go no farther. Bome of the crowd evidently — did not understand this, and pretty soon Ennis came up and said, * You d—d fools, don't. out fenow any better! ‘This train don't go any farther, Supt. Finney testified to the posting up of Judge Drumniond’s notice that any persons In- terfering with the road would be summarily dealt with, There was nodesire among bis men to strike. Ennis wasa very good man indecd Mf be would only Ict whisky alone. After be had engaged tn ‘the first part of the strike he came to him (Finney), spologized fur what be had done, and wanted to know, if he went home and dit nothing more, whether he could get back or not. Finney told him be could come back ff the Yard-Master would Ict bim. Mr. Quinn said it had becn stated in some of the papere that Mack had been in the Peniten- tary. This was notso, and he wanted Mack aworn and given an opportunity to deuy this and make a statement. i MACK WAS ACCORDINGLY SWORN, and testified that he never waa in the Peniten- tlary, and that be bad never becn fn jail until this time. Mo also swore that he had not torn down any of the notices; that be did not know the road was in the hands of Judge Drummond; that he was at from the depot when it was alleged these trains were atepped; that ho had nu grudge of any kind againat the road; that ho had been drinking a good deal Wednes- day aud Thursday; that he was not the leader, having in fact told the boys not to follow him around because peopte would think he was the boss; and that the mob persisted in following Dim and osking him to take them into the saloons and get them something. [Laughter.] James Envis then told his story. He sald be had been to a funcral Sunday, where he drank a xood deal; that hu stopped’ the train Thurs- day morning and pulled bis pistol, which was unloaded, on MvCrea, and that he finally be- came sobcred up and was ashamed of himself, when he apologized for hia conduct to Finnoy, Julius Sherer alsa entered a general disclaim- er to the chargea against him, Mr. Quinn, io a brief speech, besought the Court to tenrper justice with mercy, Onv of the Gerinans was then aworn, and ad- mitted to Judge Drummond that he had told somebody the train must not fe auy farther. When asked why bo safd that, he said bo au} Dosed ho. wnust Lave been kind of crazy, Ho also admitted having carricd a stick about two feet long, but tried tu {inpress Judge Drum- mond with the fact that he used it as acane, Thy other German pleaded bls tunocence of all connection with the interference. Judge Drummond conferred with Judge Blodgett a fey moments. und then delivered his dvciaién, Which should commend itself to every striker fn the land for Its practical, cum- mon-scnae view of the labor-queation, and the utter folly of strikes as a mcans to improve the workingman's condition, TUR DECISION, > Ithink the eviuencoe in this case leaves no doubt that all these persons partidpated in a common object, which was to prevent tho ruuning of the trains of the Tule do, Peoria & Warsaw Kallroad Company. On the evening of Wednesday, the 25th, there was a meeting where Mack and Ennis Were present and toog part In the meeting, the abject of which was to preveut the operation of the rallroads at Peoria, That purpose seems to ‘have been carried out on the following day; and others, from some cause or other, were induced to join them in this common object. It ts a Hit tle remarkable that not oue of these men now bufore the Court waa actually jo the employ at the time of any railroad company, aud that but one of thetn seems to have been vver cuployed by the railroad company there at Peoria. Mr, Ennis, a short time before, had been in the em- per of the Toledo, Peorla & Wureaw Railroad mpany. Woe all acknowledge the rights of labor. It fasimply the right of the man who performs bart Soblaia i pest price tee roy bis employer, and not the ht of dictating terms to a employer. The fight of labor result from an agreement made among meu, not by a statement, or an order, or a dictation from one tan to apother, The rights of labor, as thus understood, we all admit, and it ts not im- roper, perhaps, to call those rights sacred. jut when the right of labor cousists in the claim of not ly refusing to labor, but interfering with ‘the labur of others,—in other wot trampling upon the ba of la- bur,—-we of coun can haro no fouling of respect for any such right asthat. It $s erlm- inal; it ts unlawful; it pute an end to ail the re- lations of IIfe, and strikes at the root of every. thing {n which the right of labor consists, “I suppuse that it was under the claim of protect- ing the rights of labor that these men interfered with the right to labor of the employes of the ‘Toledo, Peoria & Warsaw Railroad Camnany, ‘This was the pretest... But how absurd and une reasonable it was we all must now acknowl- edee, Ittsimpoasthble for the Court to lose sight of the consequences of the acts of these defendants, It waa not intericrence meret with private property, held by an individual, which had simply a private object to accom: push, but St was interference with property which fad a public object to accomplish as well 28 a private one, It was em- ployed In tranaporting Braperts from point to boint, persons, and the mail. [t was at oncea Means of communicating Intelligence and car- raing on the bustaess of the country. These railroads are among the prinelpal menns of modern civiilzation by which the business of a country ts carried on. Thore commerce accom- pllshes ita ecucipal object. Therefore, when a man interferca with a property whose object is so important, which affects 60 much all the re- lations of soclets, he commitsas creat an offense against the rights of individuals, against the it It rte of the public, as can well Le tinagined. IMPOSSIBLE TO ESTISATS in dollars and cents the damage which has been done to this country by just such acts as these defendants have performed within the last ten or fiftwen days. iis being so, we have to con- sider further that these defendants have inter- fored with a property that was held in trust by this Court for its protection while a proceeding by foreclosure was going on for the purpose of enabling those who have a right to the property toobtain it by purchase by decree of this Court, While thus “In possession of the Court, ft {s public property, It {s property held in trust, and the Court can allow no interference with It whatever from | any foreign source, The Receiver, who hotds the property, is the officer of the Court, can do nothing with it without the sanction of the Court. And then, in relation tothe transporta- tlon of the mails by imeans of railroads: it fs true that It aphears by the evidence In this case that there defemlants wero willing that the mall-car should go, but it must be borne fn mind that the mail-car can only go it auch o way as to enable the rallroad to transport the mail when there are other cars accompanying: it. It Isn't ‘possible, or practicable, as a gen: etal thing, for a railroad to transport. a mulil- car by itself, because thut would be attended by very great loes, So that, while nominally they permitted the mail-car to go, they really, by preventing. the trunsit of other passenyer-cars, Interfered with the transportation of the mail. itis not usual in cases of this kind fora Court, where it is clear that there has been on unvwarrantable interference with the pruperty hetd by it, to impose very eevere* penalties, pro- vided the parties inanifest reyret aud repent- ance for what has been done. It is to be pro- sumed that all these purtles who participated in this act of violence du now regret what they have done, But in one sense every crim- inal, every offender, recrets after he as cominitted an offense, ani partic- ularly if he secs that punishment of pen- alty “will follow that offense, These men all knew that they were dolug wrong. {t is not possible, if they possessed ordinary intelligence, that they did not know that they Were violating the law; that the tendency uf what they did wan to iuterfere with all tho business of the country; to DO INCALCULADLE INJURY tothe whole community. What I wish toim- ress particularly upon them {s, that It fs fncom- prehtensible to every man of any intelligence, any man who can sympathize even with what are sometimes called the wrongs of labor, that. there can bo any right, or any pretense of righ in preventing other men trom tabor. As I sal before, it isan absurdity to sav that you can protect the rights of labor by trampliig upon the nts oof Isbor. = All these meu were willing to work for this railroad. They were willing to run. these tralns. Baer were prevented from running them by these defend- ice and men who acted {n co-operation with eu : Another thing: We all admit what {e called the hardocss of the times. We know that the business of the country has been disturbed; that astomen who are willing to labor, it is dificult for them at all times to find an oppor- tunity to labor, or to get such compensation for their lubor o8 they desire to have. But when we hear, as we do, owing to. what has oc curred within the last fow days, of the compen- sation which [¢ actually given to many of the employes of our railroads, we certainly must be somewhat surprised at the dissatisfaction which is shown by so many of them. I venture to say that a majority of the neaple of this country: live on, and support thelr families on, muc! ieee than Is given to many of the employes of the railroads. It would be a subject well worth consideration, and the Investication. of all thoughtful minds, as well os those who do not sometimes think so much as they ought, If we would only call to mind how mauy of our fel- low-cltizens of this country live on $100, $50), $000, or $700, and many of them on less than that, and sunport their families. While we ud- niit, therefore, that there may be sone reason for dissatisfaction, still there are two sides to every question of this sort, and it ia one of those questions that muat be settled by a cominon agreement be tween the employer and the employed; by the demand and thesupply of labor. And this must e borne iu mind, that we cannot chauge the nature of man, We cannot change his caphcity and habits. Wecannot make all men alike. Superiority of talents, of skill, of industry, of capacity for business, will always have its {nflu- ence, It cannot be expected, therefore, that even all those men who will labor are able to, or wilt, obtain the same price. There must be differences, Different kluds of labor receive dliferent kinds of compensation. It is not pos sible that brakenten or switchmen cau obtuln as much asthe Superintendent. All these things must have their influence. But tt is ous of the glories of our common country that every oman, if he will only exercise the talents which he bas, the in- dustry which he possesses, has the opportunity for RISING AB HIGH as his talents, as his Industry, and ble capacity for business wil} enable him to, Wo bare the custudy and control of this prop- erty. We have o public duty te perform. It is seldom that it has bean necessary for a Court to interfere by the fofiiction of punishment upon those who bave unlawfully and wrongfully ob- structed the operations of a raliroad, or, {n= deed, cf any property which iaiu the bands of the Court. [no puntehing these defend- ants wo saply dicharge 8 pub- Ne duty. A public cxample must be inade, and [must be mgle emphatically, from the nuture of the offeuse which these defend. ants have committed,—the loterference with the whole public of the country In the eireuit over which 1 have the honur to preside, there is avery large number of railroads in the cuntrot of the Court. An interfcrence with therunning of those roads, an obstructlun to a traln, inter fores with the business of the whole Northwest- erncountry; prevents inen from communicat- fag with each other, It prevents merchandise from passtug from polut to point, Itis, therefore, indispensubly nevessury that the Court should not tolerateany fnterferencve, however slight, with its tnanugement of railroads thus in its custody, At tbe same thne, the Court does not lose sieht of the tempest of folly, and passion, and crime, .60 to speak,—because we must character- ize It as crime: the law so reganla it,—we are not Insensible to the influence which that may have over unthiuking men. But thiething must be stopped, and, so far as thia Court has the power te da tt, Ie aball be stopped. We tech, th of us, that we would be derelict in the duty which wo owe to the public, to the ulti- mate owners of the property whlch we ave thus in possession, if we did nut visit WITU BRVRRE PUNISHMENT those who faterfered with the property thus in ‘fur possession. A tine {mposed upon thess men would really be no punishment, fur I suppose most of them, perhaps all of them, wre ububle to payea foc. The only punisbinent whut we can finpose upon them ia by impriqument That ts something they can fee and uaderstand, and that, although not usual {0 cases of this kind, still, owivg to the consideration that 1 havo already stated, we feel that we must intlict upon these defendants.

Tho Lake Shore & Michigan Bouthern Raflroad ts still embarrassed by some of the strikers at Elk- hart and Cleveland, who still persist in Inter- fering with the freight uslness at those points. Most of the Cleveland men, however, have given up the contest, and the remainder will probably come to terms this morning. At Etk- hart, where the principal sops of the Compa- ny are located, the situation Is the same as {t has been during the lest few days, the strikers refusing to eive up the contest until the Com- pany concedes thelr poiut. The local authorities are too wesk to quelch the strikers, and the Governor, who seems to sympathize with the atrikers, {s very low in sending assistance. A body of strikers frotn this point went to South Bend Monday night on a train which they had gobbled up toforce the men at that point to Participate in the strike. The emplorcs of the road on that point did not propose to be intimi- dated or quit work, and, With the assistance of citizens, drove off the atrikers, who were com- pelted to go back on foot, not being permitted toreturn on the trun on which they arrived. ‘The freight business between this city and Elke hart is not {nterfered with, the men on the Chi- cago Division being well satistied and not dis- poset to make atly trouble.

THAT 38 NOW THE QUESTION, An evening paper ycaterday contained a some what sensational article upon the question as to what has become of the dead who died from wounds received during the riot. Tho paper, after considering the back-yard theory of burial, advances an idea which {t charges to Mr. Wright, Registrar of the Board of Health. Mr. Wright is credited with the statement that the main fault in the matter of-getting at the number of dead rioters Hes at the door of the Calvary Cemetery anthoritics, who allow Catholics tu make Juterments in Calvary Cemetery without leave or license from the elty. Supt. T. D. Guinea was visited by a Trmuxn reporter, and Bis statement of the altuation taken, The ieauc{s made fairly and squarely between him, or, more properly, tho Bilahop, andthe Health Board. Mr. Guinea says that he does not recognize the authority of any Cur- oner, Health-Department physician, or any oth- er person, except the parish pricat, {n cascs of death, and that when he reccives the certliicate of a pricst he orders a grave to be opened with- dut reference to auy outsider. Ife states fur- ther that there {s no law or ordinance which compels the vomnelery authorities to procpro iA the peroiaskia of De Wolf, or: of Mr. Wright, or anybody else, before ‘burying the dead of their faith. It is of course proper for the undertaker to nutify the authorities, but that Is another affair provided fur by law. Astothe charge that the Calvary Cemetery had admitted a number of bodies’ of persuris killed in the rgcut fighting, Mr. Guinea eaid that the only person Interred in the place de- ceased under a1 circumstances Was the body of Jutin Leiller, a boy uf 13 years, wlio was bur- fed in the ‘* free ground,” 4 part of the ceme- tery rescrved for tho pour who could nat ay for lote, The permits for this clas of burial are only issued upon Spniication road confidently expect to overcome the diffi- eultics at Fort Wayne to-day.

The passenger busi- Dess has now been fully restored, and the 9:40 Bi ™, express train lett this city last evening for he first time alnce the beluulng of the strike. ‘The frelzht business of the PITTSMCROG, CINCINNATI & BT, LOUIS fs also reported to be still embarrassed at some points in Indiana and Ohiv. 1t was rumored yesterday alternoon that the engincers on this road had resolved to strike, but these rumors cond not be traced to any rellable source, and the probability {s that there {8 uo truth in them. ‘There Is but one Western road that hus not yet been abloto fully resume all of its business, namely, the CNICAGO, BURLINGTON & QUINCY, The manifeato of President Robert Harris giving the strikers until 12 o'clock Monday night to go to work or consider themsclyes dis- charged, has had the effect of bringing the strikers at most points to terma, eapecially those at Burlington, where work haa been fully resumed, On tho Middle aud Western Divie- fons of Towa the strikers refused te go to work on the Company's terms, and the engineers ree fusing to run with now men, business could not be resumed.

It was signed by ir. F. A. Kimbal), Chairman of the committee of railrosd employes at Galesburz. The man- agers of the road, after fully cousiderlug the re- quest. came tuthe conclusion that they had already made too many concessions, and to grant further time to the strikers woutd only tend to delay s acttlement of the dificulties, especially us a large number of the men at Galesburg had accepted the Gompany's terme in- Gividuatly, and signified thelr willingness to go to work at once. President Harris there- fore Uisparched the following message to Mr. Kimball: +1 bave received this morning your telegram sent from Galesburg 11:55 last nigbt. The notice was to the employes, and they were atliberty toact personally or through committees as they preterred. Sorte did act personally and others thruugh committees. ‘The notice was posted at Galesburg about 4 o'clock p.m. Ample tune wus given fur consideration and de- cision. The time for decislon expired couclu- aively ot Io'vicek last night.” This settles tho liash of Mr. Kimball and his atriking con- freres, as the Company means to ill their places with new men and resume business at Gales- burg us well as at all other points on their road this tnorning.
