A Walking Miracle.

Mr.. II. II. STEVENS.
Dear Sir,-Though stranger, want to inform
yon what VEdETINE has done for me.
Last Christmas Scrofua made its appearance in
my system-large running ulcers appearing on me- as
follows: enc on each Of my arms one on my thigh.
which extended to the seat one on my head which
ate into the skull-bone; one on my left leg, which
became so bad that two physicians came to amputate
the limb though upon consultat ion uded not to
do So as my whole body was full of scrofnla they
deemed it advisable to cut the sore, which was pain
full beyond description, and there quart mat
ter run from this one sore.
The physicians all gave up to die and said they
could do no more for me. Both of my legs were
drawn up to my seat, and it thought if did get
up again would be cripple for life.
When in this condition saw VRdEFINE advertised,
and commenced taking it in March, and following On
with 1t until had used sixteen bottles and this
morning am going to plow cor n, a we'll man, All
my townsmen say il Is mracleto me round
walking and working
In conclusion will add, when was enduring such
suffering from that dreadful disease, SeroinIa
prayed TO the Lord above to take me ont of this
world but yRGETINE has restored to nae the bes
sings of health desire than ever to live that
may be of eervice to my fellow men and L
know of no better way to aid suffering humanity
than to enclose you this statement of my case with
earnest hope that you will publish it, and il will
afford me pleasure to reply to any communication
which may receive thereitom.

The Strikers Cause.

The Baltimore american of recent
date has comprehensive statement
of the grievances OF the striking en-
ployes of the Baltimore 81 Ohio Com
pany. Their chief complaint has ref
erence to the reductions made in
their wages. The following upon
this point will be read with interest
During the past two years the
wages of the fireman, always the least
paid of the running employees, have
been reduced 100 per cent Former
ly they were paid day and halfs
wages for Sunday now it is the same
as any other day. Formerly they
made $50 a month each on the aver
age; now they do not average $50 a
month. Formerly, when from any
accident or any similar cause they
were held on the road, they were paid
at a reduced rate for their time; now,
if it takes forty hours to make a half
trip they only get one days pay. For
merly, when they could not get
train to work on back, they were
given passes TO return with; now
they are not given passes, and have
often to wait several days at Martins
burg, spending more for board than
they earn in the whole trip. A days
work is to run from Baltimore to
Martinsburg or from Martinsburg to
Baltimore. The distance is a hum
dred miles. IT everything goes right
the run can be made in six hours, to
which must be added an hour for fir
ing up before starting and an hour
cleaning the engine after coming in.
Whatever happens on the road caus-
ing delay to treights is loss to the
employees. fit takes forty-five hours
from Martinsburg to Baltimore it
only counts one days pay. Formerly
the company employed "hostlers,"
who attended to cleaning the engines;
now the firemen have to do that work.
Last summer when the ''hostlers" were
put off committee Of firemen waited
on President Garrett to state their
grievances. He would moi see them,
and the next day they were all dis
charged. The brakemen, who used
to get $40 per month, now get about
$40. The coductors, who used to get
500, now make about $50. The sys-
tenn of "frst in first out is considered
great grievance by the mob. 1t
amounts to this: About I p m. pos,
sibly dozen freight trains, all close
together, will arrive at Baltimore,
and the first man in will have to. take
the first train out generally without
rest or meals, and without being able
to see his family. Thus it often hap
pens that fireman is on his engine
two days at 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 fremen in the employ
of the Baltimore 81 Ohio Railroad for
long time past, owing to small va
ges and the method of moving trains,
after paying expenses at Martinsburg,
have not averaged $40 per month, for
the support of their families. In con
sequence many of them had to move
outside the city, not being able to
pay room rent. This is the state
ment of four men now in the employ
of the company. Invested of the color
which their simple but forcible express
sion and emphatic manner lent to
