The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1886-08-11

At the opening of the afternoon ses-
sion the State put upon the witness
stand ex-Goy. Samuel Merrill, Of Iowa.
He said he was resident of Des
Moines, and had employed Harry L.
Gilmer off and on for five or six
weeks.
"What did YOU consider his reputa-
ton ss to truth and veracity?"

Would you believe him under
oath ?'
eyes, would"
Questioned by Mr.. Foster in the
croes examination as to alleged dis
honorable actions on the part of Gil
mer, was productive of nothing in aid
Of the theory Of the defense that Gill
mer's character was such that he
should not believed under oath.
George Christ, formerly City Mar
shall of Des Moines, also testified that
he would believe ,Gilmer under oath.
The same tactics were repeated by
the defense without result, except that
1t wss shown that the witness had not
known Gilmer personally.
A number of other witnesses of APP
parently equal business and social
standing with those examine d by the
defense to prove the bad character of
Gilmer tesIifr d to the good character
OF this important witness for the State,
who swore tia. he saw Spies light the
fuse OF the bay market bomb.
Six or eight of the witnesses exam
med bad been connected with tue
police force of DesMoines, and testi-
fed that Gilmer had often served as a
special policeman in citizens clothes.
Mr.. Foster conducted che cross ex.
animation Of all these witnesses, and,
in nearly every case, induced the wit
nesses to admit that they knew moth
ing whatever about Gilmer socially,
and had never personally inquired
into his reputation for truth and We
racity. The witnesses, however, were
firm in their statements that they had
never known Gilmer's word ques-
toned.
A. s. Berkowsky YVES called to tes.
tify to the position occupied by the
pile of boxes on the hay market from
behind which a witness for the de-
tense testified the bomb was thrown.
The defense objected, however, on
the ground that nothing new had
been brought up which allowed the
State to offer testimony in rebuttal.
The objection was sustained, and
the Stats called Police Officer Michael
Kisssne, VINO said he was in the sec
ond rank of the police who psrtici-
pated in the lay market riot.
Before the bomb was thrown did
you have anything in your hand
which shone like the barrel Of re-
volver?"
The defense objected but were over

ALITTLE SUFFERER
Cleansed, Purified and Beautified by
the Cuttcura Remedies.

1t affords me pleasure to give you this re-
port of the cure of our little grandchild by
your CUTICURA REMEDIEs. When six months
old his left hand began to swell aud had
every appearance of large boil. We roul-
ttced It, but all TO no purpose. About FIVE
II onths after IL became y running sore. Soon
other sores formed. He then had two of
them on each hand, and as his blood became
more and more impure, it took less time Tor
them to b'esk out. A sore came on the chin,
beneath the under lip, which was very often
sive, His head was one solid scab, discharg-
ing a great deal, This was his condition at
twenty-five months old, when | undertook
the care Of him, his mother having died
when he was n little more than a year Old,
of consumption (scrOfula of course). lie
could walk a little, but could not get up IL
he fell down, and could not move when In
bed having no use Of his hands. | immedi-
at6ly commenced with the CUTICURA RENE
DIES, using the CUTIoURA and q TICURA SOAP
freely, and when he had taken one bottle of
the CUTICURA RBsOLvENT his head was COM
pletely cured, and he was improved in every
wsy. We were very much encouraged, and
continued the use of he Remedies for u year
and half. One sore alter another healed,
a bOny matter forming in each one Of these
five deep ones Just before healing, which
would finally grow loo'e and ere taken out;
then they would heal rapidly. One ofthese
ugly bone formations | preserved. After
taking a dozen and a half bottles he was
completely cured, and is now, at the age OF
six years, a strong and healthy child The
scars on his hands must always remain his
hands are strong, tn ugh we once feared he
would never be able to use them. All that
ply icians did for him did him no good.
All who saw the child before using tho Cur
CURA REMEDIES, and see the child now, con.
slider I a wonderful cure. If the above facts
are Of any use to you, you are at liberty to
use Them. MRS. II s. briggs,

yearly. The present strike came with
out notice and not in consequence OF
any grievance cited against us; and in
view OF my interview with Mr.. Pow
derby, whom ] believed 10 be fair
minded man, was AL the more sur
prislng to me-"
As to the future, Mr.. Gould said I:
81 am advised that great numbers OF
the ttdkers are not IN sympathy with
the movement, end will return to
work as toon as assured protection by
the civil authorities. II is our inten-
ton to resume operations as fast and
ss soon as this pro ection is afforded. "
In conclusion, he declared that he did
not care TO discuss the other features
Of the strike beyond the statement
that the company could not possibly
Join bands with the knights Of Labor
against the United States Supreme
Court in their war on another system,
which he asserted the present strike
involved. Mr.. Gould farther asserted
tha. the Knights OF Lator had evil
IDENTIFY discovered already through
public sentiment that they we're tXer-
cising their power in favor OF an issue
strictly against law and order, and
that II was more OF a war against the
gen eral public than the road. II was
closing manufactures along the lines
OF the railrc ads, and was stop
ping the shi jment OF coal and
other commodities to points where
the people were liable TO suffer great
deprivation. 1t was more a fight OF
the public than the company, but the
latter, in protection OF its own lawful
rights, would exercise every lawful
energy TO meet the demands OF its
patrons In opening the road in all its
departments.
Mr.. Gould stated that he was in re-
ceipt OF kilograms from manufacturers
and others along the companys lines
stating that they would be compelled
to shut down, but at the tame time
placing no blame upon the company
or its mar agemeDt.

May Result I'm a strike.

CHICAGO, ILL, March l5.-The
statement is published here this
morning that the ChicIgo, Burlington
and Qaincy railroad engineers have q
grievance which may result in a gen.
eral strike along the line. A week ago
the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Eugi.
neeis sent a committee to Chicago to
interview the officers. The COMMITTEES
has had several interviews with Gem
eral Manager III. b. Stcns Of the road =,
but to no purpose, he claiming that he
bad no authority togIant their rtquett
for concessions on the entire system.
The committee is now waiting for the
return OF Vice President Potter, who
Is daily expected from the West.
What the men chiefly want Is re-
vision Of the schedule Of wages. The
claim is not so much for an advance
Of wages as for the better Classific alton
OF them. The men who make over
time want a more definite statement
as to their rate Of pay. The members
OF the committee do not expect that
they will be compelled to strike, be-
lieving that their demands are reason
able and will be readily granted. The
Burlington route has been very for
tunate in the a3t in this regard, all
differences having been amicably and
satisfactorily adjusted.

Oil MILLS BURNED,
The Toledo OIL Works DesirOye cd
by Fire.

TOLEDO, O., March 10. The mills OF
the Toledo Linseed Oil Company,
which burned last night, were among
the largest in the country. The orr
gin of the fire is unknown, the theory
OF spontaneous combustion and that
of incendiarism both having support
ers. The building where the fire
started was devoted TO a new patented
process for extracting the oil from the
crushed seed by percolation, naptha
being the agent employed TO effect
this. There was over 'lC0 barrels of
this dangerous fluid in the building,
stored in iron tanks, which exploded
almost simultaneously. The shock
was like an earthquake, The fire de-
partment had not yet reached the
scene and but few spectators. or the
loss of life would have been terrible.
Frank Longmore and William Kirk
ham, two Lake Shore Railway en-
ployes, were standing across the street
from the building and the broad sheet
of flame was driven across, enveloping
them, scorching off their hair
and eyebrows, and bu ming their
hands and faces till the skin
hung in shreds. Their injuries, while
serious, are not fatal. The night
Waterman OF the Dayton and Michi-
gan round-house was in the cab of a
locomotive blowing an alarm on the
whistle and was blown out of the cab
by the conclusion, but received only n
few bruises. Stark, the telephone
boy, had his face badly cut by win
dow glass, but is not seriously in
jured. Numerous minor casualties
from the explosion are reported. The
intlammable nature of the buildings,
filed with linsecd oil and flaxseed.
and the wood wok, saturated with
oil, prevented any portion of the
works being saved. The company's
offices We're also burned. The DAYTON
and ichigan roadmastcr's Office.
bunk-rooms and blacksmith shop and
several smaller auxiliary structures
were all burned. Three or four cot
tages near by were badly scorched as
well as partly wrecked by the explo-
sion, while the window glass in all
structures within several squares
suffered more or less. There
were three large buildings
and several smaller ones de.
stroyed totally, except the boiler
house. The old process mill was
valued at $4,000, and its machinery
at 25,' %. The new process mill and
machinery cost $4,000. The fixtures
include stock Of oil and seed ON hand
in each. The Yaryan Manufacturing
Company, which owns the patent on
the new process, lose 5000 worth of
machinery. The total loss on linseed
oil works, including the Yaryan Com
pany's loss, is $4,000. Loss of Others.
including railroads, $1,000. The insur,
ance OF the new process mill is nut at
$4,000, of which the New York
Mutual holds $1,000. The other
buildings and machinery were insured
forS50, 90, in twenty seven companies
none holding over 5000. The com
pany will rebuild at once and con-
tinue the business.
