A Bachelors Surprise Party.


On Sunday morning says the Lancas-
ter Examiner, when certain well-to. do
bachelor who resides on East Orange
street went to his front door, he discov-
cred on one of the steps what was no
doubt intended as an Easter present
from one of his female friends. 1t was
nothing more nor less than a small era
die lined with satin in which snugly
packed was little girl baby. The hor-
rified gentleman thought at first the af-
fair was a joke upon him, but upon look
ing at the bundle more closely he dis
covered upon the cradle card bearing
an inscription.
Surprised as well as shocked at this
startling revelation, he at first thought
of having the cradle and its contents
taken to the alms-house; but after a
glance at the beautiful little girl slumber-
ing so sweetly il it, he concluded to ac
cept the responsible charge, and are for
the child as his own. The little thing
could not have fallen into better hands
than it did, and we feel confident that
the gentleman upon whom such good
luck has so unexpectedly fallen will
never regret the day when he first saw
the foundling.

The st. Louis Strike.

ST. LOUIS, April 26-Between 10 and
II o'clock this morning Erastus Wells,
president of the Olive.street and Market
street Railroad lines, made proposition
to his men to give conductors Is cents
and drivers 124 cents per hour. Three
or four of the regular force concluded to
accept and about noon cars were started
on both roads, they being manned main
ly by new or extra men. The first four
or five cars on Market Street passed
over the road with little trouble, receiv-
ing only mud splattering from a few
unruly persons, but about | O'Clock a
great crowd collected on Chestnut Street
between Twelfth and Thirteenth Streets,
stopped four cars forcibly, derailed them,
and compelled the horses to haul them
over the macadam pavement down
Twelfth to Market Street, and then
forced the drivers to take them back to
the stables on the latter street. This
line uses two parallel streets, namely
Chestnut and Market, one block apart,
the cars going west on Chestnut and

less act the mob stopped another car 60
ing out on Chestnut Street at the corner
of Thirteenth, smashed its windows,
plastered it with mud, unhitched the
horses and compelled the driver to take
them back to the stable. The car now
stands on the track, the crowd will not
permit the Railroad Company to touch
it. About dozen policemen were pres
ent at this point, but Notwithstanding
they arrested a number of the leading
spirits of the mob, they were powerless
to prevent the riotous proceedings. An
other similar scene occurred on Market
Street between Fourth and Fifth and
the eastern terminus of the road. Sew
raj arrests were made here also, but the
police could not preserve order and the
mob bespattered the cars with mud and
assailed the men on them with all man
ner of vile and abusive epithets. On
the Olive-street Line another great
crowd gathered at the corner of Fifth
Street, extending to Fourth Street, the
eastern terminous of the road, and OBJ
stTucted the passage of the cars. This
mob was also very abusive to the con-
ductors and drivers and was loud and
angry and bitter in its denunciation of
the railroad companies. Captain Fox,
with q squad of about dozen mounted

General Strike of Bakers.

New YORK, April 27.-The journey
men bakers of this city and Brooklyn
are to go upon general strike on Mon
day, and will join in procession and
demonstration in this city. The bakers
complain that they are now compelled to
work from fourteen to eighteen hours q
day, and they are to strike for a reduc-
ton of the hours of labor to twelve,
and for one day of rest in the week.
Another feature of the demand is that
the employers shall not require any of
their journeymen to live in the house

to keep the tracks clear enough for the
cars to pass, but neither they nor the
patrolmen, a number Of whom also tried
to prevent the use of foul language,
could stop the throwing of mud at the
cars and other active emonstrations.-
Captain Fox's horse received knife
thrust at this point from some unknown
ruffian, and the Captain drew his pistol,
but did not use 1t. A number of arrests
were made here also, and finally, about

A Curious Accident.

A young man named Buzzard, resi-
dent of Harrisburg, was fireman on the
second section of fast line going east
from Altoona Wednesday morning.
The Pittsburgh train west when about
the same place met with slight acci-
dent to the engine which disabled it.
The conductor then swung red light
on the fast line with the intention of
stopping it and sending for another en-
gine. 1t appears that the fireman saw
the signal and supposing collision was
about to take place jumped to save his
life. He struck on the ballast and either
broke one arm badly or had it crushed
by the train and his face was badly
scratched. The man was taken to his
home in Harrisburg.
