Why the Baltimore and Ohio Employees
Struck.

The chief grievance of the striking
firemen on the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road is that in the last two years their
wages have been reduced 80 per cent.
They complain that the extra Sunday
wages have ceased, that they do not get
return passes, where they have no en-
CINE to work back, but have to board
several days at Martinsburg waiting for
job. A rather severe grievance is thus
stated by the Baltimore american
about p. m. possibly a dozen
freight trains, all close together, will ar
rive at Baltimore, and the first man in
will have to take the first train out, gen.
orally without rest or meals, and with
out being able to see his family. Thus
it often happens that fireman is on his
engine two days at a stretch without any
sleep, and with no food except what he
takes in his bucket. AS regards earnings
it is asserted that about one-half of the
firemen in the employ of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad for long time past,
owing to small wages and the method OF
moving trains, after paying expenses at
Martinsburg, have not averaged so per
month for the support of their families.
In consequence many of them have had
to move outside of the city, not being able
even to paw OOm-rent."

An Engineering Feat.

A remarkable piece of work near Yu.
ma, Arizona, on the Southern Pacific
railroad, is known as 1.-THE Loop" and
many persons come long distances to see
it. In laying out the line the engineers
found great difficulty in reaching the
summit without exceeding the grade to
which they have been restricted. They
leveled here and there, and found they
could only accomplish it by widening a
long distance round, and making sew
eral bends in the track. Col. Grey
found way out of the trouble by MAX
ing the road form loop or circle upon
itself, the first attempt of the kind in
railway engineering. The road passes
at a certain point into short tunnel and
bends gently to the left, rising steadily;
and as gently bending to the left, it goes
on and on, till at length, as you look
from the rear platform Of the train, you
find yourself directly over the tunnel,
and discover that the track has made
loop around the mountain as perfect as
the one you form around your finger
with thread. The desired elevation
has been gained, and the train has been
headed in the same direction as when it
emerged from the tunnel, and almost ex-
actly above the former position. Pas
sengers are on the qlli vive to examine
this curious bit of engineering, the plat
forms are crowded, and there is an erup-
ton of heads from the windows of the
cars, save and excepting the one which
is filled with Chinese. John is never
surprised at anything, and takes the
world with the utmost serenity. He
cares nothing for 1.-THE Loop" and its
it is "allee samee" to him,
and he sits as demurely as though in his
native village on the banks of the Yang
tse- Kiang. Boston Globe.

Russian Soldiers.

A noticeable feature in the uniform of
the Russian army is the manner i'll which
the several regiments ana brigades of q
division are distinguished from one an
other by the color of their facings, etc.
The dress of the infantry of the line con-
sists of a single breasted dark. green
tunic, in cut somewhat similar to a
blouse, with trousers tucked inside long
boots. On the shoulder strap of the
tunic is the number OF the division to
which the man belongs, while his brig
ade is shown 10y the color of the strap,
this latter being red in all the first brig
AIDES of division and light blue in all the
second brigades. The order of the reg
iments in division is indicated by the
color of the collar, both of the tunic and
of the cloak. In the first regiment of a
division the collars are red, in the second
light blue, in the third white, and in the
fourth dark green. The head-dress of
the line is chapka, with the number of
the regiment on it. In the fortress bat
talions the color of the shoulder strap is
always red, having marked on it the
initial letter OF the fortress to which the
battalion belongs. Men belonging to
the field artillery also wear q dark-green
tunic, with red collar and shoulder
straps, on which is marked the number
of the brigade. The regiments of the
guard wear double breasted tunic, and
are likewise distinguished from one an
other by the color of their facings. The
head-dress is helmet, excepting in the
Paul regiment, the men of which wear
the grenadier cap.
