list, and the market was up two or three
points, when in all reason it ought to have
gone down then. It was reported that the
rise in New York Central was due to Gould's
purchases, but if he really did buy that
stock ct all, il was certainly not with any
other object than that Of covering shorts: de
knows too we'll that the future of the New
York Central is not bright. Its profits per
share in 1880. when Vanderbilt saddled his
stock NJ on the English public were equal
TO 11.S2 per cent. in 1882 they were
equal TO only 6 ~ per cent he reduced
the running expenses TO the low
est possible figure in - 1880 for
the showing of big net earnings. These
expenses amounted to 50 per cent. OF the
1882. This year they will foot up fully 61
per cent. The funded debt has increased
from 81, ,6S1 900 in 1870 60 SIS. AS 600 in 1882
To this floating dsbt of over So 500, 900 has
recently been added. These figures are not
guesswoIk. They are taken from the official
record of the Company published on the 30th
of September last, and II the public does not
know how to read these reports Gould does.
The very fact that Jay Gould tries TO bsllttle
the significance of the strike and talks
loud and bold on this subject is the best
proof that he feels weak He has never any
thing TO say when he feels strong. He even
changed his policy of remaining IN the back
ground and came boldly to the front. This
is not wise. There are about 5000 men on
strike, and nobody can vouch that there is
not fanatic or luDatic among them. By
showing too much individual harshness he
may provoke a strike which will hurt him
more than any reduction in the net earnings
OF his pet Company. A little business cool
head liberalism (nobody asks him for heart
liberalism) might do world of good in this
emergency.

The strike is still on, but beyond the en-
thusissm among those directly interested on
both sides, the matter was without incident
during the day. Everything was as quiet as
on previous days. No disturbances occurred
and no boisterous conduct was Observable.
The boys still laugh and jest over the
matter, but at the same time they reSlizs the
seriousness of the situation, and deprecate
the necessity for the strike. For Mr.. Wal
lick they entertain the warmest regard, and
believe him 10 be their friend at heart.
Last evening between o and 10 o'clock
about thirty OF the strikers met Mr.. Waliick
on the street and had a peasant chat with
him. He greeted them kindly an pleasant

Squally fo' de Boss.
New York Special:

1t is useless, say the members of the
Brotherhood, any longer to conceal the fact
that a crisis in the trouble between the
Western Union and the strikers is at hand.
II is asserted that Mr.. Jay Gould was entirely
mistaken as TO the numerical strength of the
United Brotherhood of Telegraphers. He
was of the opinion that it numbered in its
ranks but ZOO members, while in reality it
hes membership of $4,000. and has received
, eco additional since the strike began.
When the operating-room was left practic-
ally unnamed last Thursday the directors
btgaI Ito have their eyes opened. When
they figured up their losses last
they found that they were at least
5000 Geo a day on the wrong side OF the
ledger, and there were many angNy con-
teLtioIs. To-day the trouble eliminated in
sn angry interview between Mr.. Jay Gould
and General Thomas 7. Eckert the Acting
President of the Company. The interview
came about accidentally when the two men
in condor OF the Western Union
Building this morning and a trustworthy
informant states that it began By Mr.. Gould's
asking in q tone that indicated both chagrn
and anger: "Mr. Eckert, when Is this thing
going to stop? 1t is costing me money in
Wall street and we are losing thousands by
the hour here"
General Eckert appeared to be taken by
was moving along in the operating room,
wban he was interrupted BIZ Mr.. Gould, with
the lnterjected remark: "Yes, ips moving
aloDg-like freight train"
General Eckert attempted reply, but was
again cut short by Mr.. Gould. who is report
ed to have said: General Eckert don't
want to say that you are a fool, or a knave,
but what can l think? Either you did not
know the situation we'll enough to keep us
posted, or else l must think that you have
been playing double"
There was an ugly look upon the faces of
both the men at this juncture, but their
further talk was lost in the public by en-
eral Eckert's leading Mr.. Gould into the
Presidents elegant Office and closing and
locking the door. The handsomely dres sed
colored servitor who generally attends in the
Presidents room, even during confidential
interviews, came out very hurriedly a mo-
meDt later, and, as he rearranged his swal-
low-tail coat and white necktie, remarked
casually: Looks squally in there TO de

up and put in new clock. But it was
always failure. His clocks all had the
same perverse defect. They would put the

not put it on at night and if you forced
it on yourself, they would take it off

"Fox's Book OF MARTYRS, "

Contains the history and pictures Of
hundreds of people who were stoned,
burned, beaten, pulled to pieces and other
wise tortured on account OF their conscien-
tious convictions as to belief and duty.
They suffered incredible torment and have
come down to the present age as martyrs.
1t is not now customary to torture people
thus, but they are made martrys by rheu-
matism until they suffer almost as much
as did the heroes of the martyr ages. There
was no relief for the old-time martyrs, but
there Is happy relief for those who suffer
from rheumatism. Mr.. Cashier Charles
T. Morrill,, Of Manchester, N. H., suffered
terribly from frequent attacks Of this pain
full disease, but he has been cured. He
writes: 81 was martyr to rheumatism,
and, although tried m any other remedies
I found nothing that relieved me like
Perry Davis's Pa in KilEer." Other rheu-
patic martyrs may wisely take the hint
