BKE AKING UP THE STRIKE CLEVELAND FAVORS LABOR LAWS

AS INJUNCTION RKSTRAINING THK STRIKERS FROM INTERFERING.

Union It rake men aud Firemen a t Pi t t sburg Ordered to Resume Labor— The Grand Master of the Firemen Repudiates t h e Strike in t h e strongest Possible Terms, YOUNGSTOWN,0. ,March 11.—The Pennsyl­

vania company made a decisive move when Manager Baldwin filed a petition in court against Frank Vassall, J ames Kerr , Pat r ick O'Brien, and eight others, charg­ing tha t they were interfering wi th the operation of the road, terrorizing new men tha t the company had employed to oper*de their t ra ins ancl threatening vio­lence t o employes and officials. An in­junction was issued by Judge Johnston restraining the men mentioned from going upon the property of the Pennsylvania company, or in any manner interfering with trains. The restraining wr i t s were served upon tt*|£ men, who a t once called a meeting and are now in secret session, i t is expected the company will send a force of men here to operate yard t rains and a coflict is feared. In the' morn­ing t ra inmaster Donaldson and yard-master Randall of the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio came out with an engine and are a t tempting to move freight.

PITTSBURG, March It .—There is much improvement in the s t r ike situation on the Connellsville division of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The yardmen are working again in this city, and enough freight t ra ins are moving to keep the road clear, but the s t r ikers are still firm a t Connellsville, Mc-Keesport and a t the other points along the line.

The str ike of the freight brakemen and freight firemen on the Baltimore and Ohio road, while not entirely ended is doomed to certain defeat. The members of the Broth­erhood of brakemen have been directed to resume work immediately, or lose their standing in the organization*

F. P. Sargent, the grand master of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen of the United States, has arr ived in this city, having been summoned here by the chief officers of the local lodges. He repudi­ated the str ike in the most emphatic man­ner, and said the few members of the brotherhood who joined in the movement had violated every fundamental principle of their order. He summoned the strik­e r s ' committee from Connellsville, and they conferred with him. He says if they refuse to re tu rn to work they mus t be ex­pelled from the Brotherhood, as it is in no way involved in the trouble. All the men belonging to the organization a t this end of the line are a t work, and it is this force that is operating the freight t rains, although the s t r ikers call them "scab ." He says they will be fully protected in work ing. The master of the brakemen's local union says he is confident tha t when he has a conference with his men, they will go to work. The only ones now standing firm are not members of the brotherhood.

THREE BOILERS BLOWN TO PIECES

Home Workmen Horribly Mangled While Others Have Lucky Escapes,

EOMORE, Mich., March 1.1—A mill boiler exploded a t Alpena, killing three men; an­other at Ithaca killed two men and wound­ed several otners, and broke half the glass in town, and also two miles from here, the sawmill of J. H. Gibbs was wrecked and two men were blown into- fragments, while two or. three others were fatally wounded, being terribly scalded and bruised. The last named accident was remarkable for the narrow escapes tha t occurred. One man was hurled nearly forty feet and fell within six inches dl a running circular, saw, and another man was driving .a yoke of oxen tha t were transfixed by a section of the wrecked boiler tha t had straightened out into the snape of 4 gfreat knife. Still another man, who w a s stahding near the boilers when they exploded, dropped into an elevator trough, and was found uninjured when dug out two hours later.

The two persons who were killed outright, Charles Waters and Dennis Sherlock, a boy of fourteen, were horribly mangled. Clots of blood and bits of bones were found on trees 200 feet away. Charles Waters , fire­man, was found with the entire fire-box laying on him. His head was jammed to a pulp, one arm was gone and his bowels were protruding. He had no relatives here. Dennis Sherlock, fourteen years old, who attended a machine, was s t ruck in the head and back by a falling timber and died shortly after.

former cut t&h house inspector, JKno' siiot and wounded Surveyor of the Port Beattie, on December 1 last, and was found guilty of assault "With intent to kill, was brought before Judge Benedict in the United Sta tes court for sentence. Bieral looked pale and thin, but did not appear any more con­cerned than at any time during his trial. Judge Benedict commented on t h e serious na ture of BieraVs crime and what it might have resulted in, and sentenced him to five years ' imprisonment a t hard labor.

- , . Ashore on the Virginia Coast.

JJOBTOLK, Va., March 11. -The North German Lloyd steamship Rhein, Captain Jahns , [ from Bremen, February 33, for Baltimore rwith 1,000 passengers and freight is ashore on HOST Island Bar, thirty-five miles nor th of »Cape Charles.

Seven Hundred Frightened Children. DUBUQUE, Iowa, March 11.—A panic was

caused last evening in a theatre , where over seven hundred school-children were gathered by some person who raised the cry of " F i r e ! " The children rushed for the doors, blocking up the passageways. Prof. Irish and others tore down the partition,* opened the outside doors, broke the win­dows and, seizing the children, t h rew them right and left as they drew them out. A number of children were injured, but* none seriously.

M. Clenienceau Seriously 111, PAUIS, March U.— M Clenienceau is seri­

ously ill.

Bu t They Must be Well Considered Before They Receive His Signature.

WASHINGTON, March 11.—Mr. O'Neill, of Missouri, chairman of the committee on labor, called upon the president and asked him concerning the arbitration bill and the bill prohibiting the employment of alien labor and the use of the products of con­victs 'labor on public works, both of which bills he failed to sign. The president said, wi th reference to the arbitration bill, tha t he was strongly in favor of legislation upon tha t subject, but did not think the-bill submitted was sufficient. The bill first presented by Mr. O'Neill and submitted to the president before introduction contained provisions which connected the government with the legislation, such as the provision for filing the award with the clerk of the United Btates court, and the giving to the award the form and effect of a judgment. The absence of provisions connecting the gov­ernment with the legislation caused the president to withhold his signature.

Concerning the convict alien bill the pre­sident said he thought the bill was ra ther confused, and it could bet ter be t reated in separate bills. He expressed his earnest desire to aid labor legislation, and the resul t of the interview will be Mr. O'Neill says, the preparation of more care­fully prepared bills for the next congress. Mr. O'Neill says the above measures do not comprise all the labor record of the forty-ninth congress, as the following mea-suresj were passed and signed by the presi­dent : Prohibiting the importation of con­t rac t labor and remedying the defects of prior legislation upon tha t subject; pro­hibiting the hiring out or leasing ou: of government prisoners, and legalizing the national incorporation of trades-unions.

STRYCHNINE UNDER THE F I E CRUST

Marshall Tried to fcat i t but Found it Did Not Agree With Him.

ROCHESTER, N. H., March 11 —The preli­minary hearing of Annie Marshall, charged with the at tempted killing of her husband, and Laura Johnson, her accomplice, was held. The evidence showed tha t Laura Johnson boarded with Mrs. Marshall, who had not lived with her husband, John W. Marshall for two years. Two weeks since Marshall had his life insured for $2,000, pay­able at his death to Bertha, a six-year-old child of Mrs. Marshall by a former husband. Since then the Marshalls have been more friendly, she cooking for him and mending his clothes.

On Tuesday March 1, during dinner, the mat te r of insuring his life was talked over, and she was pleased, but told him he would keep paid up bu t a short time. She told him tha t as she was going away she conld not cook for him tha t week, bu t would send him a basket of food tha t afternoon. Laura Johnson took the basket to him, telling him w h a t to eat first. Eat ing a piece of apple pie, he was taken violently ill, and only by prompt action was his life saved. An 'ex­amination showed tha t the c rus t had been lifted and the pie sprinkled with strych­nine. Both respondents denied all knowl­edge of this. They were held in the sum of $1,500 each for appearance at the Septem­ber court.

Accused of Hanging a Child. PHILADELPHIA, March 11.—Mrs. Katie

McClennon and her daughter Florence, a girl of 13 have been arrested on the charge of hanging Annie Niblick, aged 13, found dead a t her home yesterday afternoon. The a r res t was made on the testimony of Annie 's brother Johnny, aged 5, who said tha t Mrs. McClennon and Florence placed a rope around Annie 's neck and drew her toward the ceiling. Florence was Annie's playmate and Mrs. McClennon was seen a t the house yesterday afternoon. I t is said the woman paled on being arrested, but on being told the charge denied it. The woman is separated from her husband. She is said to have threatened to kill Nib­lick's wife, now dead, and one theory is tha t she wished to pu t the daughter out of the way and mar ry the widower.

Newspapers Would Help the Government. S T . LOUIS , March 11.—The Globe-Democrat

says editorially: If the signal service is ac­tually crippled by the failure of congress to pass the deficiency bill, the newspapers of the country—acting through the as­sociated press, or acting outside of tha t or­ganization—should make up the amount actually needed to car ry on the work unti l congress meets. The year promises to be one of extraordinary meteorological events and changes, and the newspapers should not let their readers suffer because con­gress failed to do i ts duty.

Another Strike Fails, BOSTON, Mass., March 11.—The e x e c u t i v e

committee-of district assembly No. 8,149, of Camorige, has declared the Cambridge rail­road s t r ike off, and the men are a t liberty to r e tu rn to work if they can obtain places. Nearley all the vacancies have been filled wi th new men, and only very few of the s t r ikers will be taken back by the company. The barges which have been run by the s t r ikers for the las t three or four weeks, will be wi thdrawn to-day and returned to the persons from whom they were hired.

Salmi Morse's Manuscripts, N E W Y O R K , Mai^h 11.—Through the ef­

forts of the public administrator the effects of the late Salmi Morse will probably sell for a sum more than sufficient to pay his personal indebtedness. Tne passion play, wi th its copyright and music, is likely to bring in the neighborhood of $500, judging from the advance offers made for it. The first bid for the play was made by a news-pader man of this city, who offered $25. Several theatrical managers bid a higher sum unti l $100 was reached.

Death of the Belgian Consul in Balt imore. BALTIMORE, Md., March 11.—Mr. Robert

Lehr, of the firm of Boninger Brothers, to­bacco exporters , and consul for Belgium and Portugal, died a t his residence, in this city. Mr. Lehr has for a long time been a resident of Baltimore, and was highly re­spected in business circles. He had been in poor helath for some time. I

Bismarck Will Be Satisfied With the Pas­sage of the Septenuate and Will Ask Nothing Else—Money for Reichstag Par -ties—Dr. Junker Arrives Home a t Last . LONDON. March 11.—Mr. Schnadhorst, to

whom the testimonial of 10,000 guineas was presented for his services to the liberal par ty, s tates privately that he is well sat­isfied with the rapid progress which home rule is making among the rank and file of the liberal party. He believes tha t the lib­eral unionists, if they do not unite with Mr. Gladstone, will soon cease to* have any fol­lowing at all.

Several Belgian papers reproduce a map, which has been printed a t Cassel, and which represen t s a rectified Franco-Ger­man frontier. In it Belgium is divided be­tween the two countries. The greater part , including Antwerp, Brussels, Liege and Louvain is added to Germany, and the remainder to France. The incident has caused a great deal of annoyance in Bel­gium.

The best equipped expedition which the Germans have ever sent to South Africa sailed from Southampton to-day. On arriv­ing a t the Cape it will divide into two sec­tions, one of which will proceed from the east coast and the other fropi the west coast, both directed toward the little-known country on both sides of the Zambezi river. •The leader of one of these parties was lately an officer in Prince Alexander's ser­vice and the other leader is Dr. Einwold.

Sta tements have been circulated to the effect tha t Mile. Rousseil, the well-known melodramatic actress, had applied to some managers to give her a final benefit, in order to raise a sufficient dowry to enable her to enter a convent. Mile. Rousseil de­nies tha t she has made any such request. She has decided to end her days in a con­vent, but, she declares, she could enter any one of twenty convents, including even the aristocratic Sacre Cceur itself, with­out any payment of money. Fa ther Didon, the delebrated Dominican preacher and author, who is her spiritual adviser, bids Mile. Rousseil wait a while before tak­ing the step which she contemplates as she may afterward regret having changed the excitable life of the stage for the solitude of the cloister.

Sir Wilfred Lawson, the Gladstonian member of parliament, who was suffering from pulmonary symptoms when he left England, has arrived in Rome, and is much better .

IJONOON, March 11.—Mr. Wilkinson, the military correspondent of the Manchester Guardian, has been arrested- a t Cracow, Austr ian Galicia, as a Russian spy. He was released after twelve hour ' s im­prisonment. .

The /Standard^ correspondent a t St. Pe­te rsburg says that the Russian govern­ment will take no action with reference to the executions a t Rustchuk.

B E R L I N , March 11.—It is rumored tha t Prince Bismarck and Herr yon Bennigsen oppose the plan of Dr. von Scholtz, who de­sires tha t the session of the reichstag be prolonged in order to permit the introduc­tion of important financial measures.

A proposal is being discussed to grant annually to the president of the reichstag the sum of 10,000 or 20,000 marks for the purpose of promoting informal social gath­erings of members of all parties.

Dr. Junker , the African explorer, has ar­rived a t Munich in good health.

Those Naval Designs. LONDON, March 11.—The Daily JVews,

commenting on the s ta tement tha t the ad­miral ty sent complete designs of the iron­clad Agamemnon to Washington a t the request of the American government says : " i t is very pleasant to be on good te rms with America, bu t perhaps, on the whole, i t would be as well if the admiralty kept euch designs to them­selves." In regard to the Ter ry affair the News s ays : "The mat te r ought to be thoroughly sifted and the culprits prosecu­ted. We cannot doubt tha t the . American government will be able to clear itself of all complicity."

Cardinal Gibbons Interviewed. ROME, March 11—In an interview Car­

dinal Gibbons said: k ' I a m a n d ever shall be an enemy of a plutocracy of soulless corporations and men. The Catholic church will take the side of the weaker against the stronger in this instance. There is no question of secret societies. Mr. Powderly and many other chiefs are good Catholics. Above all I wish it to be known that there is no essential divergence between myself and the archbishop of Quebec on the subject."

Officers Get. Long Terms. RUSTCHUK, March 11.—The military court

Four of the officers were sen­tenced to imprisonment for life, four for fifteen years and three for eight years , and the privates for three years. I t is not expected tha t any further executions will take place. The troops sent to Silistria a t the time of the uprising there have been-withdrawn.

JJCCY PARSONS REVILES THE MAYOR

8 io Could Not Get a Hall but They Gave Her a Cell in the Calaboose*

COLUMBUS, 0 „ March 11.—Within the past two years the converts to the doc­trines of anarchy have had a fabulous in­crease in this city. The accessions to their number have emboldened them and they resolved to make a public display of their s t rength here.

Mrs* Lucy B. Parsons, of Chicago, was to be the central ornament and the chief orator. For political reasons it was thought best to make the demonstration take the appearance of a public ^lecture on the "Beauties of Anarchy," by Mrs. Parsons. The city authorities got secret information of the programme, and when the lady ar­rived from Chicago she laarned to her dis­may and indignation tha t she would not be permitted to use the hall which was hired by her agents.

The hall is held under annual lease by a local military company and when not in use is letfout for lectures and other pur­poses to any law-abiding and respectable persons who may desire its use. No ques­tions were asked when the place was hired, bu t when the commander of the company saw tha t it was to be used as a meeting place for anarchists he put his foot down, having been counselled to do so by the police authorities.

Mrs. Parsons sought the militia captain and when she came face to face with him she-vented her anger by informing him tha t he was no gentleman, tha t he was a woman in trousers and that he ought to be ashamedT The captain-laughed a t the female fury and she went away vowing vengeance.

Then Lucy called on the mayor and sta­ted her grievances. His honor told her tha t he regretted that it was out of his power to do anything for her. She didn't appear to believe him, for her reply w a s : " Y*ou are a scoundrel, s ir! You are a ser­vant of the people, and as I am of the people you a re my servant and should obey me. I will revolutionize this, city, s ir! and make it too hot to hold creatures like you."

The mayor requested the t igress to pro­ceed quietly to her home. The coolness of his demeanor added to her rage and she t h ru s t her hand in the pocket of her dress as if in search of a dynamite bomb or a small cannon. When the antics of the woman grew to be monotonous the mayor tapped an electrtic button, which-brought a policeman quickly to his office, and Lucy was led away t o a cell where she spent the night.

A TRAMP WANTS MONEY OR BLOOD.

He Assaults a Woman With An Iron Bar And Shoots Two l ien .

MILWAUKEE, March 11.—A tramp, giving his name as Schmidt, went to the home of a woman living a t the corner of Twenty-seventh and Galena streets , wi th one of his hands tied up in a sling, and asked for money. Theodore Krischinski, who was in the house, gave him a few cents, and as he went out he asked the woman who w a s in the yard for money. She refused, where­upon he dropped his arm from the sling, drew from his pocket a piece of iron cov­ered with a handkerchief, and s t rnck her on the head. He then grabbed hold of her and partly tore her clothes from her body.

Krischinski and Valentine Schiller r an to the rescue. The t ramp took refuge in a cellar. Schiller tried to dislodge him with a pitchfork, when he opened fire wi th a revolver. Schiller received a ball in the face, and Krischinski was wounded in the abdomen, but not seriously. The t ramp was found hiding in a threshing machine. A large crowd gathered with ropes, and the police had difficulty in landing the pris­oner in jail.

Four Thousand Blue Ribbons. VINCENNES, Ind., March 11.—The Mur­

The meetings have been addressed by Thomas E.-Murphy, the son of Francis Mur.phy. A tidal wave of blue ribbons is sweeping over the Hoosier state.

Actor Miln Will Stick to the Stage. CflicAGO, March 11.—George C. Miln the

eloquent ex-Unitarian preacher who crea­ted a sensation some years ago by aban­doning the pulpit for the stage, denies with some bitterness the published reoorts tha t he intends to tu rn another somersault and go back to the church.

He says Chicago is losing its appreciation of high class entertainmonts, and declares that he will never again tempt her anoetite wi th Expensive ventures.

They Do Not Approve of the Former Ac­tion and. Send Their Condolence.

CHICAGO, March 11.—At the prayer meet­ing a t the Leavitt Street Congregational church Rev. Theodore P. Prudden, the pastor, who both spoke and voted for the Beecher resolution of condolence in the ministers ' meeting Monday, suggested tha t the church ought not to res t silent under the statements so publicly made, and after several speeches of unqualified approval of his suggestions the church, by a unanimous vote, requested him to send a telegram of condolence to Mrs. Beecher.

At a missionary meeting held in the Union Park Congregational church, the pastor Rev. Dr. Noble, in introducing Rev. E. A.

Mrs. Beecher Broken Down by Her Grief.

BROOKLYN, March 11.—The grief in Brooklyn over the death of the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, was intensified by the gloom of the sky dur ing the brief funeral cere­monies a t the pastors 's late home in Hicks street. When the s torm cleared away a t 11 o'clock, and the body was borne to Ply­mouth church under i ts pall of foliage and blossoms, the sun burs t through the clouds, and the hundreds of mourners in the pro­cession were quickly swelled into thou* sands.

Very early the inmates of the house were astir, preparing for the final leave-taking, and it was only a short t ime after dawn when the s t reet in front of the man­sion was filled with the crowd. A score of policemen was quartered about the house. At 9 o'clock the members of the family began to arr ive and at 9.80 the Rev. Charles H. Hall, rector of the-Hoiy Trinity church, who was to conduct the service for his be­loved friend, alighted from his carriage and entered the house.

Many flowers had been sent to the house by the friends of the family. Congressman S. V. White sent a pillar of roses; Mrs. 8. Laselle, a pillow of white lilies: Mrs. E. A. Beccomb, a pyramid of red and white roses; Mrs. Dr. Bogne, a boquet of roses ; Henry Irving and Ellen Terry of London, each a fern wreath studded with calla and smaller white lilies; Thirteenth regiment, N. Y. 8. G., a large design bearing the words, 4tOur Chaplain;" class No. 95 of Plymouth sun-day school, a large bunch of flowers; Mr. and Mrs. Otto C. Wierum, a large floral piece.

The parting services of the house were very sad, Mrs. Beecher being very deeply affected. The body was placed in i ts coffin last night, after Mrs. Beecher had spent some time alone with the body of her hus­band. I t lay this morning in the front par­lor of the house, v hile assembled about it in both parlors were the grief-stricken friendanand relatives. The glass slide over the face of the dead had been lowered, and showed the countenance to bear the smile so familiar to all who knew Mr. Beecher.

Dr. Hall read the Episcopal ritual, which Mr. Beecher thougnt the most beautiful of all services. The musical par t of the cere­mony was as follows: Solo, "Jesus , Lover of My Soul," by Proesssor Lewis Werren-r a t h ; musical selections from the Episcopal service by a quartet , composed of Profes­sor and Mrs. Werrenrath, Mrs. Studwellr Lazar and Mr. Caapin; and a solo, "Be­yond the Smiling and the Weeping," by Mrs. Stud well Lazar.

During the service Mrs. Beecher sat a t the foot of the casket gazing into her hus­band's face. She was calm, yet it could be seen tha t it was only with great effort t ha t she remained so. Before the prayer Dr. Hall made a few remarks, telling how he came to admire and afterward to love Mr. Beecher. He said it was because there was no deceit, no dishonesty, about his friend. He was frank and honest always. At the final part ing Mrs. Beecher nearly lost consciousness, and her sons manifest­ed deep sorrow. When the last adieus were said the family retired to the inner parlor.

A pall made of flowers and leaves was thrown over the coffin before it was borne from the house. The pall had been woven by orders of the church society, in confor­mity with the often expressed desire of Mr. Beecher, tha t no emblems of mourning should cover his body, The pall was made of maiden-hair and asparagus ferns, heavily fringed with lillies of the valley, and decorated in t h e centre with a large bunch of feucharist lilies. Out in Hicks s t reet in front of the house, the regi­ment of which Mr. Beecher was chaplain commanded by Colonel Fackner was d rawn up in double file, with bayonetless guns and standards draped with crape. The regiment was to do guard duty for its rev­erend chaplain. The men wore the regular state uniform. I t was 10.40 when the body was borne down the steps. I t was re­ceived by the regiment with presented arms, and on the shoulders of six under­takers ' assistants the coffin was borne to the hearse in the rear of the command. 1 The scene as the funeral procession moved down the street to Plymouth church was an impressive one. The old-fashioned red brick edifice, so well known to the pub­lic as Mr. Beecher 's. is but a short distance from the house; the s t reet was packed wi th thousands of persons.. The jam was ssvere, and required the united efforts of the large force of reserves from the Brooklyn police, which Superintendent Campbell had detailed for the duty to man­age it. Inspector Reilly was in charge of the men. Captain Campbell was sta­tioned a t the house and Captain Eaton a t the church. A bugle-call pu t the line of soldiery in motion. All the windows along Hicks s t reet and for the short distance up Orange s t reet t e the church were filled with people, not a few of them being mem­bers of Mr. Beecher's church. Arriving a t the church, the regiment formed again in double file and the- dead clergyman's body was borne into the edifice where so many thousands have listened, entranced wi th his eloquence.
