we will meet him on that ground anC

The st. Louis Strike

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 12-The situation in
the street car strike this morning re-
mains practically unchanged. The
strikers assembled quietly at Turner'S
hall to await developments. The cars
are running on all lines under police es-
cort and some or them are doing full
service. No disturbances have vet been
reported. Some of the new conductors
and dryers who were frightened of by
rioters have returned to work and no ser
ious trouble Is apprehended for the
present. The adjourned meet
ing of business men to discuss the street
car strike met again this morning and
was quite exciting. The report Of the
sub-com nittee submitted Saturday, was
rejected. John d. Perry, q prominent
banker and tather-in-law of Mayor
Francis, opposed the recognizing OF the
Knights of Labor, whom he described
as an irresponsible body of men. L. B.
Ripley. an iron merchant, said the way
to act was to take these rioters by the
throat and make them respect the
law. This sentiment was cheered. A
new committee was appointed who re-
| tired. but soon returned with resolu-
ton calling onthe mayor to protect life
and property, which was adopted and a
committee appointed to wait on Mayor
Francis with it. During the meeting
Jno. r. Leonberger. speaking for the
street car proprietors said: "They had
no grievances and wanted no arbitration
by business men, or anybody else" The
committee then went to seek the mayor
and lay the resolution before him.

Relations of Forests to Malaria.

Sometimes q twofold drainage Of the
upper, as we'll as the under aspect Of
the soil may be practiced-that is,
draining the subson and increasing the
evaporation of the surface water. The
cutting down Of forests in malarious
countries has often proved an excel
lent means of amelioration; because, by
removing every obstacle to the direct
action Of the suns rays on the surface
of the soil, its humidity during the
warm season is sometimes entirely ex-
hausted. In spite of universal expert
ence of this fact, school originating
with the great Roman physician, Lam
cisi, has sustained the contrary, coun-
selling the maintenance and even the
extension of forests in malarious coun-
tries. Lancisi was completely possess
ed with the ''palustral prejudice" and
believed that the malaria generated in
the Pomptine Marshes, and attacking
such townships as Cisterna, was inter-
cepted, if only partially, by the forests
between, and he therefore opposed the
cutting down of the trees and recon-
mended increased planting. He did
not know that the malaria was already
| in the soil and covered by the forest in
question. Some thirty years ago the
Caetani family, to whom Cisterna be
longs, cut down the forest, and twenty
years thereafter DR.. Tommasi- Crudel
was able to show that the health of the
neighborhood had greatly improved il

Crossed Love and TragiCai Death.

PITTsBURG. Pa, Oct. 11.-Esrly yester-
day morning Valentine Pfeiffer, young
German farmer. and a man named Nc
Donald were seen approaching the cabin
of ZacharIah Wright, occupied by
Wright, his wife, daughter and two sons,
and situated in a lonely and unfrequent-
ed portion of Franklin township. The
two began beating on the door and call
ing Mrs. Wright and her daughter vile
names. Failing to break the door, Nc
Donald went 10 the rear of the house and
attempted to enter through the window.
When half way in he was caught and
stabbed in the neck by one of the Wright
brothers, the cut reaching from the right
ear to the juguIar vein. This was 1ol.
lowed by a second stab in the breast
when Mcdonald fell back unconscious
When Pfeiffer saw the bloody body Of
his comrade he drew his revolver and
began firing into the house. The second
shot struck Adam Wright in the breast
and the third in the face. The fourth
shot struck his brother Scion, who had
jumped to catch Adam, in the left side
Pfeiffer then disappeared and has moi
been seen since. The remainder of the
Wright family quickly summoned Drs
Lindley and Rumage, who pronounced
both the brothers fatally injured
Whether Mcdonald would live or no
| they could not say, but there is only 1
| very faint hope for his life.
The tragedy grew out of q quarrel at {
former meeting, when Pfeiffer had beer
roughly handled by the Wright brother
after insulting their sister, who had re
| fused Pfeiffer's suit.

horse car railroad in New York will,
when completed, cover more horses than
that of any other stable in the country.
Accommodations for 1900 horses have al
ready been completed, and when finished
the stables will have 2,4o0 horses I'M
der one roof The New York Tribune,
in quite lengthy article describing
these stables and giving some idea of
the requirements necessary in caring
for their inmates, says: THE feed con-
sists of hay, oats and corn, with plenty
of rock salt. Fash horse receives about
eight pounds of hay day, which with
2, 400 horses means about $500 tons a
year. This is chopped up fine by cut
tiers run by an eighty-horse power en-
CINE, whose additional duties are TO
send the corn and oats through shutes
TO distributing points and to supply wa
ter for mixing and drinking purposes.
A glance at the huge rooms for the re-
ceptIon of corn and oates gives some
idea of the vast amount of food consum-
ed. Each one extends from Fiftieth to
FIity-first street, some 400 feet and is
twenty five feet high. The enclosure
holds 1000 bushels and is filed up ev-
cry three months In mixing, about
10000 bushels of oats are put with 49,
900 bushels of corn, making nearly 10O,-
600 bushels of the two q year.
In the room where the prepared feed
is put, horizontal section shows a mass
of feed ten feet deep, consisting OF lay
ers of chopped hay, ground corn and oats
which are taken in the proportions thus
arranged and picked out by a single
workman who puts the supply upon the
floor where a constant spray of water
mingles with it and enables him 10 mix
it readily. 1t is then sent in shutes all
