The Strikes-Mamy Men Threatened
 With Enforced likeness.
 NEW YORK, March 1.-The strikes in this city begin to assume very serious aspect, and unless compromise is effected within few days several branches of industry will be almost at standstill. Both the piano manu- lecturers and workmen seem determined to adhere te the stand they have already taken, and in consequence over four thousand work men in that branch of industry alone are thrown out of employment tomorrow. The journeymen are determined not to return to work unless Q formal increase of ten per cent. is made. At mass meeting of working men held under the auspices of the piano makers this morning a number of speeches were made in favor of holding out for the ad- vance demanded, and relief was promised by a number of trades unions if necessary at an early date. The carpenters, bricklayers fathers, stone cutters, painters and several other trades unions now thoroughly or ganized. A general move for an advance of wages will be made by the 1st of April. The furniture makers, who have been on a strike for four weeks, are still confident of gaining the advance demanded, but it is probable that compromise will be made in that branch next week. From the present outlook it ap- pears almost certain that not less than ten thousand workingmen will be out on strike in this city within three or four days, and should the furniture makers fail to affect compromise at least two thousand more will be added to that number.

Those first on the scene saw the flames bursting forth from the window of the apartment occupied by Mrs. Grifing. The door leading from the street in the main hall was broken in, and near the threshold was l found the partially dressed body of Mrs.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, March 14-s:30 p. ID. A fire is now raging in the hold of the steamship City of Sydney of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company's line.

Grifing lying against the wall. The clothing and body were badly scorched. Life was not yet extinct, but before she could be removed Mrs. Grifing died. The other members of the household-Nrs. Lale and Miss Kate Oonk- hng-escaped unhurt, except that both were prostrated by inhaling smoke. Miss Conkling is @ cousin of Senator Roscoe Oonk1ng as was also Mrs. Grifing. The latter's husband was firm friend of Thurlow Weed, and is said to have given the old politician his first start in life. The origin of the fire is supposed to be the explosion of lamp. Those who first looked into Mrs. Grifhns's room say that the head of the bed was in flames. Miss Oonkl1ng thinks she heard something like an explosion just before the fire broke out. When Mrs. Grifing was found in the hall feathers were scattered around her, as though she had at tempted to smother the fire with the feather bed and then escape into the hall to arouse the other inmates. This seems to be the accepted theory, though others express suspicious that there is a tragedy behind the flames. The mansion was damaged to the extent of $4O,- GOO.
 Tho Salvation Army Services InH
 Harry HilI's Theatre.
 NEW YORK, March 1.-The announcement that the Salvation Army would conduct ser vices at Harry Hills theatre this evening at tracted an immense crowd, and long before the doors were opened crowds lined the side walks for blocks waiting to obtain admission. At seven o'clock Commissioner Railton with five of his female corps mounted the stage and opened the services with prayer. The commissioner was dressed in blue with gold lace around the collar of his coat. His assist ants were also dressed in blue and wore long sacques. They wore the regulation caps of the army, with red bands and the words Salvation Army" around them. The services throughout consisted of prayers and singing hymns. The audience was an unusually mixed one and consisted of business men, clerks. sporting men and prize fighters. Among the latter were noticed Dooney Harris and Barney Aaron. The theatrical profession was but slimly represented, Pat Rooney being the only notable present. The services lasted from z o'clock until 9 and during that time most order was maintained, no drinking or even smoking being allowed in the build ing The band refused to take money from Mr. Hill for their services and no collection was made. At the conclusion of the meeting and while the army were leaving the building, the orchestra struck up the Sweet Bye and Bye" sea captain, who was sitting in the front row, gave the leader of the band $5 bill and requested him to play it over again. The request of course was complied with.

 Discharge.
 SAN FRANCISCO, March 14.-Dennis Kearney read carefully prepared speech to-day, In which he said the citizens committee was only doing what he approved so far, and when they arranged to employ 9 thousand girls and large number of boys they were doing what he had demanded. But as his name had been identified with the agitation against the Chinese he should continue the agitation until the Chinese were compelled to leave China town or the nuisances be abated. He expressed a confident belief that he would be discharged from custody in the morning, as he had com mitted no offence against the laws. He had only exercised the right of freedom of speech guaranteed by the Constitution.
 O'Leary Again to the Front.
 SAN FRANCISCO, March 14.-At the close of the six days walking match last night there was large crowd present, but there was very little excitement, as it was evident that O'Leary had the match his own way from the first. At the finish the score stood, O'Leary 516 miles, Weston 470 miles. OLeary was fresh and apparently capable of continuing on indefinitely.

Two Young Ladies Murdered-An Un-
 cless Horrible Crime.
 CINCINNATI, March IA special from Howell County, Missouri, 8 wild region, be- yond the reach of telegraph, gives particulars of a terrible murder, but mentions no names. Two daughters of 8 man who lately received pension of $8OO which he divided between them, were left alone by him. One night stranger came to the house and asked for pro tection and lodging for the night. This the ladies reluctantly yielded, and retired up stairs to bed, leaving him in room on the ground floor. In the middle of the night he heard noise as of some one strangling, and with re- volver in hand he went up stairs to ascertain the cause. There he caught sight of a man leaving the room, who made slash at him with knife. He fred and the man fell. He then rushed out and made his way to the near est house, where he found a woman sitting by fire. He told the facts and she said: f'rhe man you have shot is my husband and the uncle of those two girls he went to rob-" The stranger hurried to another house, and arous- ing the neighbors, returned with a posse. They found the man who had been shot lying dead with @ knife in one hand and $500 in the other, while the two young women were also lying dead.
 Saved by Presence of Mind-MOnien-

 COLUMBUS, March 14.-A frightful catas- trophe came very near happening in Com stocks Opera House this afternoon. The house was crowded to its utmost capacity to listen to sermon by Rev. Dr. Gunsalus. A noise as if beam had broken was heard and in an instant every face In the audience was blanohed with fear. A number of women be- gan weeping and all arose in their seats for a general stampede. A great many near the entrance gained the street, and but for the presence of mind of a few gentlemen who succeeded in persuading the crowd to take their seats, the result which would have fol- lowed general rush for the doors, would have been fearful to contemplate. A great many were pretty thoroughly squeezed as it WAS

To Get Kid of Rats.

Rats are n pest in every city and
town, and, indeed, everywhere in this
country. II seems nearly impossible to
get rid of them, and any method that
promises to secure this most desirable
end is worth trying. Somebody recon.
mends covering stones, rafters, and
every part of cellar with ordinary
whitewash, made yellow with copperas,
putting copperas in every crevice or
Granny where q rat may get, and scatter
ing it in corners on the door. He has
tried it repeatedly, and the result has
been general retreat of both mice and
rats, not one of which had at last ac-
counts returned. 1t is said that coat
of this yellow wash, given each spring TO
cellar, will not only Danish these ver-
min, but will prevent fever, dysentery
or typhoid. Everything eatabo should
be carefully secured against the ravages
of rats, which are so intelligent that
they will soon abandon premises where
they can get next to nothing TO cat.
The rat we are most troubled with is
the brown rat, anuch larger, stronger,
tiercer and moFt ravenous than the
black rat, whichlias almost entirely dis
appeared, having been driven of or ex-
terminated by the moro formidable
species. The brown rat is frequently
called the Norway rat, from the erron-
eous impression tlsaG it came from Nor
way, which country it did not reach
until it had become abundant in Britain
and America. 1t appeared first Mt AS
trakhan in the beginning of the eigh-
teenth century, and gradually spread
over Western Europe, whence we have
derived it. 1t was once known as the
Hanoverian rat, because the British Ja-
cobites were pleased to believe that ii
came in with the House of Hanover.

BaRled Curiosity,

Miss J. was on the way South
10 spend the winter with some relatives.
Her friends Mr. and Mrs. Il were
her travelling companions as far as
Goldsborough, where they separated,
Miss j having about a hundred
miles more of railroading to do alone, as
a telegram received at GOldsborough
stated that her expected escort could
not meet her there. As usual, the pas
sengers on the branch road were few,
and Miss j was the only lady on
the train.
The conductor was native of the
town to which Miss j was tick
eted, and was very anxious to find out
who is fair passenger was. His rather
oflicious offer to assist her in finding her
friends when she should reach her des-
tination were rather eoldly refused. He
finally got desperate, and appealed to
an ancient gentleman in the car "a friend
of his) to assist him. Presently the old
gentleman crossed the car, took a seat
Immediately behind our fair traveller
and addressing her very politely, said:
"My friend Captain P Is very
anxious to know who you are"
Looking up from the pages of her
novel, Miss ! said: "You didn't
tell him, did youP"
He was so thoroughly taken aback
that it was some moments before he re-
covered himself sufficiently to stammer.
"N-no."
"Thank you," said Miss j,
gratefully, and eoolly resumed her read
ing.

Kit CarScn's Wife.

History affords few instances of de-
votion that prove the existence of love
in higher degree than that given by
Kit Carson's Indian wife to her brave
and manly lover. While mining in the
West he married an Indian girl, with
whom he lived very happily. When he
was taken i'll, long way from home,
word was sent to his wife, who
mounted fleet mustang pony and
Travelled hundreds of miles TO reach him.
Night and day she continued her
journey, resting only for few hours on
the open prairie, flying on her wonder
full little steed as soon as she could
gather up her forces anew. She forded
rivers, she scaled rocky passes, she
waded through morasses. and finally
arrived just alive, to find her husband
better. But the exposure and exertion
killed her. She was seized with pneu-
monia and died within brief space in
her husbands arms. The shock killed
Kit Carson, the rugged miner; he broke
blood vessel, and both are buried in
one grave.

understand.
And so the happy days went on,
each day binding those young loving
hearts more closely together.
When Josie returned to the city,
which was two weeks later than she
intended, she had q pleasant story to
whisper in her fathers ear.
"If you love him and he is worthy
of you" he said, in reply 10 the query
with which it ended.
Joaio's quick ear detected the aad-
ness that underran these words.
"You know your promise to live
me with me when I was married,
papa" she whisperadi laying her
cheek closely to his. "And on farm,
too Won't it be delightful ?"
Belle and Lucy returned home with
that conscious air of subdued triumph
and Importance peculiar to engaged
young ladies"
Having attained the end and aim
Of their existence, there was nothing
further for them TO hope or expect.
From thenceforth they were to repose
upon thair laurels, floating down the
stream of lie with no thought of care,
Or anything but the present enjoy
ment
Bells captive was a Wall street
broker owning a fabulous amount of
paper. Lucy's was the son of mil
lionaire, whose ambition seemed to
be to spend as quick as possible the
money that his father had labored to
acquire.
They made no attempt to disguise
their surprise and disdain when they
heard Of Josie's modest conquest.
"Only a farmerl" shifted Mr.. Will
soa. "Never did I dream that one of
my daughters would stoop to that !
But suppose if you have your IA
Ihers's approval you don't care for
mine"
"Of course you can't expect US to
visit YOU" said Belle, loftily. "The
connections of Charles Augustus are
all of tho highest and most aristocratic
character, and it couldn't be thought
Of"
Certainly not, echoed Lucy. "a
wife has to take the position of her
husband, which is something you had
better think Of"
Josie had thought Of it, and very
happy thoughts they were, too.
The financial disasters of tho three
years that followed mado quite a
change in the surroundings Of ali the
above with the exception Of Josie and
her husband.
Out Of the wreck of Mr.. Wilson's
business nothing was left but his
honor and integrity, which shono all

gloom that ahroUded him. His wife

few months after. Penniless and un-
