A Short Strike.

A tie.up Of all the street car railways in
New York, Brooklyn and Long Island City,
except the Third Avenue line in New York,
began at o'clock Saturday morning. No
grievances were previously presented, but it
was stated unoflically that the tie.up was
for the purpose of supporting the Third av-
enue strikers, and in consequence Of aid ex-
tended by the other roads to that company.
At 10 o'clock yesterday morning every
street car line in the city was in operation
excepting that on Second avenue, and short
ly before noon the men went to President
Thorn and told him they were ready to go
to work in body in accordance with his
notice.
The Third Avenue read put on all the
extra cars available and carried immense
crowds. 1t is said that many of the old
drivers applied at the stables and begged of
Superintendent Robertson to be taken back.
His unvarying reply, however, was: at is
too late we don't need you now" Presi-
dent Lyon, said: This is general eur
render Of the Kuig hts that will mark the
beginning oftheir final dissolution, and they
may lay the whole blame to the incapacity
and utter lack of honor and honesty in
their leaders. 1t is a victory for the work
ingmen over the tyranny ofignorant and
avaricious men whom they have allowed to
lead them by the nose. We have beaten
them at every point-at the strike, at the
boycott and at the tie-up, and it has now
become fixed fact that we run our road
regardless of their dictates"

Maxwell's Conviction.

The jury in the Maxwell case in St. Louis,
as stated in Saturdays GAZETTE, returned Il
verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree.
On the first ballot they stood nine in favor
of conviction of murder and two in favor Of
manslaughter, while one juror voted a blank
ballot. Mr.. Barnett, the foreman of the
jury, who was regarded by both sides as
perhaps the most Intelligent man on the
Jury, was one of the three who did not at
first vote for the verdict of murder. He
was not convinced until juror Cahill, who
was regarded as the weakest man intel.
ectually on the jury, said he would prove
TO Mr.. Barnett that there was generalization
by showing him how Maxwell had cut oil
preller's shirt and undershirt. Then Mr..
Cahil took the little curve bladed scissors
that were found in Maxwell's trunk with
the bundle of Preller's Undertaking, and
began to cut. The scissors would not cut
more than IN inch, at q time, and
Cahill, with the shirt on the table,
proved to Mr.. Barnett's satisfaction that it
must have taken Maxwell long while with
these little scissors to have cut both the shirt
and nndershirt. This so thoroughly
disprovcd Maxwells story that he was so fright
cncd that ho hastily ripped tho garments from
PIcllef alGcr ITCllcrS ue:lLu IuAG DaTHctl

proof. a ballot was ut once taken, and therc
wcrc twelve votes for conviction for murder in
tho first degree. Tho scissors that Maxwell had
thrown into the bundle of Preller's clothing which
he put in his trunk convicted him.
When Maxwell was brought into court TO hear
tho verdict ho had to be supported by tho sheriff.
He cndeavored to brace mp, but received the vor-
dict with face almost CHASTITY as that Of a
dead man. After tho verdict had been announced
and tho court adjourned he lighted a cigarette
and said "Oh, we'll, what's the odds? 1t will be
year at least before my case can be heard by the
Supreme Court, and my counsel assure me that
will get new trial" He then marched OIL with
the sheriff, called for his dinner. and afterwards
lay down OIL his bunk aud read "0ld Curiosity

Maxwels counsel will file motion for

not reach tho case for nearly year unless it

WHY Deer Park was Selected.

A letter has boon received by lady in this city
from Miss Jennie Davis, tho West Virginia cx-
Senator'S daughter in which it is explained why
President Cleveland selected Deer Park as the
place for his honeymoon. Up to Decoration Day
ho had decided Oh no place, but Immediately after
his return to Washington Col. Lamont hurried
down to Wash. Majors and ordered two car.
rages to be shipped to Deer Park. The whole
matter was settled by Miss Folsom when the
President saw hor on Decoration Day. and this is
how it was brought about, as explained in the
aforesaid letter.
While Miss Folsom and her mother wcro at
Naples during their recent European trip they
met Miss Davis, and tho three spent much time
together the girls becoming fast friends. About
this time tho marriage of the President and Miss
Folsom began to be talked about. and the news
reached Naples, greatly surprising Miss Davis,
who had not heard her friend even mention Mr..
Clcvclands namc. One day Miss Davis asked
Miss Folsom if the reports were true. The latter
cvadcd the question by saying something about
those foolish newspaper stories" well, then,
said Miss Davis, will you answer this question ?
If you do marry the President, will you promise
to spend the honeymoon ncar me at Deer Park ?
Miss Folsom could not say no without implying
that the marriage was enough Of q possibility
to merit consideration, so she said laughingly,
Yes, if nything of that kind ever occurs will
90 to Deer Park" Soon afterwards they parted,
Miss Davis returning direct to America and Miss
Folsom going to Paris to look after her bridal
outfit.
Whom the public announcement of tho marriage
was mado, Miss Davis wrote to Miss Folsom, re-
ninding her Of tho promise made at Naples. The
letter was received on the same day the President
called OH his betrothed in New York. The rest Of
the story needs no telling when it is remembered
that as soon rs tho President reached Washington
he ordered tho carriages to DO sent to Deer Park

NEWS OF THE DAY.

There were 147 deaths in Baltimore last
week.
The Senate passed 900 pension bills last
Saturday.
The flood in Southern New Mexico,
caused by the heavy rains during the last
week, has washed away nearly every bridge
of the Santa Fe road across the Rio Grande
river. The Church of St. Francis at Santa
Domingo Pueblo, over one hundred years
old, has been washed away, but the pic
lures and books in the building, dating
back TO the fourteenth century, were saved.
President Cleveland and his wife went
fishing on Saturday, and attended church
yesterday at Oakland. Ex-Congressman
Hammill, it is charged, made himself too
o(ficious at the church, and some of the
Presbyterians say that he had no right in
the pulpit, and that his prayers that the
present incumbent might be continued as
the Chief Magistrate was very natural ap-
peal for the elder to make, when the fact
that he and his son and daughters and q
son.in-law are holding public Offices is taken
into consideration. He is referred to rs an
"od political turncoat," and the affair bids
fair to cause rupture in the little congre-
CATION.

Trouble in the Camp.

CHICAGO, juno IA Cleveland, o., spe-
cial published here this morning asserts that
local leaders of the Knights OF Labor in that
city regard the end Of the order in its pres.
ent form as very near. They say that Pow
derby has been conquered by the home club
clique, and that his recent lenials of the
trouble in the organization are not calcu-
lated to strengthen him with the conserva-
tive clement. It's candidate at Richmond,
Va, in October next, it is asserted, will
probably be Tom Barry, of Michigan. He
will be likely to lead the anti home clubbers.
The trades union delegates sent to Ceve-
land to straighten out the troubles between
the union and knights left with no satisfac'
ton. In this it is also said that the home
clubs influence predominated. 1t turns out
that its policy is to down the trades unions
and centralize oil power in the knights. A
break is predicted in less than six months,
and it is asserted that the leading trade
unionists will he with the conservatives
against the home club.
