the Southwestern labor troubles.
The employees OF the Brunswick
Bake & Collender Billiard Company,
Chieago, to the number OF between
400 and $50 men went out on a strike
on the 9th. In addition to their de-
MAIDS for ali increase of wages and
thechanging from piece work to day
work, the men made PROPOSE
tion to discharge all non-union

TRYING to Save the Dog.

bradford Pa Dispatch Philadelphia Times ]
While the fire was raging on Sunday
morning in the Stewart building, at
Main and Kennedy Streets, the atten-
tion of number OF sympathetic citi-
zens was drawn to dog that was
visible in the second stOly window OF
the burning building. The animal sat
still and looked out on the crowd with
the expression OF one that had lost all
hope.
''Oh! won't somebody please save
that dear, noble dog?" said an en-
thuslastlc young woman.
"It's Councilman Greenwald's dog, -
was the only reply she got, and the
man who knew whose dog it was
stolidly kept On pushing through the
crowd in manner that the young
woman thought very barbarous and
unfeeling.
"Well, if it Is Councilman Green
wald's dog, that is no reason why 1t
should suffer a horrible DEATH" said
the kind-hearted woman, and she
pushed through the crowd to where a
fireman was standing, waiting for
| further orders.
"Won't you please rescue that dog
IN the photograph gallery said She
pointing.
She was pretty, and the fireman i'm
| mediately became interested in the
dog. He seized 81 ladder ard placed ii
against the burning wall at the risk o.
his life Then he climbed till he stood
at the top and gazed in through the
window, where the dog gseemed to stare
death in the face. The sash was down
and he smashed the panes in short
order. Then, Just as he was reaching
in for the dog he drew back and ut
tered an exclamation OF disgust.
The young lady who mad admired
the noble expression on the dogs face
shouted, ''Save himl Save him q" bat
the fireman shook his head, came
down and only said as he reached tht
ground:
'HTerra Gotta"
"Three cheers for the young lady
and the fireman, anyhow" said by
stander, and they were given, too.

HOME RULE FOR IRELAND.
the Plans of the Government for q
Settlement of the Irish Parliamentary
Ditficulty-A Great Day In the United
Kingdom.

The much talked-of and long-ex-
pected government measure for the re-
lief OF Ireland was presented in the
English House OF Commons by Prime
Minister Gladstone on the Sth inst.
The event was signalized by the great
est popular demon stration ever seen
in London. The chamber OF the House
OF Commons was packed 20 its utmost
capacity, and the crowds congre-
gated in the vicinity blocked
the streets completely. Although the
session did not open till 4:90 P. NJ,
members OF the House began to assem-
bic before daylight in the morning and
retained their seats by occupying them
AL day. Glsdstone's passage from his
house to the Parliament building was
packed by an immense multitude,
which greeted him with one continuous
cheer during the entire drive. A mar
row lane was made for his carriage by
large squad OF mounted police. The
bill was introduced by the premier in
an eloquent speech, which was fre-
quently interrupted by applause and
cheers.
The main features of the govern
ment's Irish home-rule plan are as fol-
lows: Ireland IS to have a Parliament
IN Dublin, to consist of two orders sit
ting together, the first order to num-
Der 1O3 members and the second 1O6,
with the right of voting separately,
either body to be able to veto any
measure for a limited time. Ireland
Is not to be represented in the Impe-
rial Parliament. The legislature in
Dublin will have no control over any
thing connected with the crown-the
army, the navy and organization OF
the armed forces, nor foreign and col
onial affairs. 1t will have nothing
to do with coinage or the creation OF
a legal tender. The fiscal unity OF the
empire is preserved, the general gov
ernment having the power to levy
customs, duties and such excise duties
as are directly connected with the
customs. The proceeds are to be held
for the sole benefit of Ireland. The
control OF the civil service is given to
the Irish legislature, but the constab-
ulary remains under imperial author
ity for the present. No religious legis-
lation is permitted. The Office OF
viceroy is retained, but will be non
political and will not become vacant
with change OF parties. The Judges
will be appointed by the Irish govern
ment

CompanY DestroI ed.

The branch machine shops OF the
Narinette Iron Works Company,
located at Florence, were totally de-

9Th. The loss is estimated at 100000,
and the insurance is known to be

The shops employed sixty-fve men,
and were in operation day and night.
Several large plants OF mining ma

why Ice-Water is Bad.

DR.. FOthergil on Indigestion.
And now few words as to the bev-
erages to be taken. Americans are a
dyspeptic people; they drink much
iced water at meals, ergo, iced drinks
at meal times are bad They may be,
when carried to excess; this is not de-
MED But iced drinks are not the
cause OF the wide spread dyspepsia in
the United States. There are other
potent factors in action. Iced drinks
are very grateful to the thirsty, but
too much indulgence therein produces
a torturing thirst; as the person who
INDUCES in eating snow in the Arctic
regions discovers quickly. just as
snowballing causes the hands, first to
feel cold, and then to glow with heat
if continued; so the constant applica-
ton OF an iced fluid to the fauces, at
first grateful, becomes a source OF in
tense discomfort; for the eblood-vessels
are first contracted and ultimately
paralyzed, and the fauces glow with
warm blood, like the skin OF the snow
baller's hands.
Iced fluids are rot desirable for
dyspeptics, to say the least OF it.

The Railroad Yards In East St. Loui
Cleaned Ont.


Cleaned Ont.
The strikers in East st. Louis, to
the number of 1000 made a clean
sweep of the railroad yards at that
place, with the exception of those Of
the Chicago & Alton Road, which were
guarded by armed deputy marshals.
The men employed by the roads were
driven out and no trains were handled
during the day. Late in the evening
another, but smaller, mob marched
TO the Chicago & Alton yards
where they compelled several
freight handlers to abandon work
and Join them. A dispatch says
Managers of the railroads terminating
in East St. Louis, fearing that Gov.
Oglesby will not order out the militia,
are arming deputy sheriffs with Win
chester rifles to protect the freight
houses against another demonstration
such as was made to-day. The Chi
cago, Burlington Il Quincy, Louisville
Il Nashville, Nandalia and Chicago &
Alton yards will each be guarded to-
morrow by thirty to forty men from
country points, sworn in as deputy
sheritfs, heavily armed, and with or
! ders to shoot all trespassers on rail

Bloodshed at East ST. .Louis-Terrible Ex-
element.

On the afternoon of the 9th a mob
OF about 400 men took possession of
the louisville & Nashville yards,
IN East st. Louis, and attempted to
induce the men at work to leave their
places. AT the same time freight
tram was passing slowly, guarded by
armed deputies. Trouble was expect
co and large crowds OF men and wom-
en- swarmed over the tracks Just as
thetraln reached the Broadway cross
ing, the trouble began. The crowd
on the bridge began to yell and
leer at the officers, and, it is
asserted, stones were thrown, which
struck two or three of them, and it is
alse SAID that pistol was discharged.
me deputies appeared to become
panl,strlcken and fired two volleys
INTO the crowd on the bridge with fatal
etfeci, four men being killed and one
woman mortally wounded The dead
are: Patrick Driscol, a Wabash sec
ton hand, not striker; Oscar Wash
lngton, painter, not a striker; John
Bonner, a coal miner, not n striker;
Maj -Rychman, mill employe, not a
STRIKER; Mrs, Pfeffer, said to be the
Wlieof striker, was shot in the back
and mortally wounded. The great
est excitement Immediately prevailed
and pandemonium reigned. the
crowd He'd 10 every direction, and when
the deputies realized how fearful was
the result OF their fire, they sought
means OF escape by rushing for the
bridge, with a view of fleeing TO the
city: At the approach, and Just at
the fridge tower on the east side, they
were met by Mayor Joyce, Ci,y Clerk
Canty, and third man, who seized
the deputies guns and endeavored to
turn them back. One of the deput les
ln bis terror fired upon the trio, killing
a nan named c. E. Thompson, who
stood between Joyce and Canty.
Some shots were fired by theremaining
deputies at the approaching strikers,
and all started over the bridge.
Immediately after the shooting a
fraItic mob gathered in the square
between the city hall and the police
station. lncendiary speeches were
made by a number OF men, the most
prominent OF whom was man named
Dvyer, gambler, who urged the mob
toplllage the yards and kill the depu-
ties and all who opposed them. The
members OF the Knights of Labor gen.
eral committee appeared upon the
scene aud succeeded in quietipg the
crowd, which finally dispersed 1t is
reported, however, that one OF the
deputies was captured by number of

Several Important Discoveries In Biblf
Cal History.

From the Paris Register.l
A young cOuntryman OF ours, Will
lam Croft, OF Cincinnati, who is finish
ing his Oriental studies in Paris, has
recently made discovery, which NJ.
Oppert, q member of the Institute,
communicated to the Academy of In
scriptions and Belles-Letters at the
meeting OF January 29th.
On the famous list at Karnak,
Egypt, are inscribed'the names OF the
persons who were made prisoners at
Mageddo by King Thothmes Ill, and
among these names there are two
which, on being translated into He
brew, letter by letter, appear as Ja-
cob-El and Joseph-El. Since it was
believed that these names were geo
graphical ones, that is to say, had ref
erence TO cities, and as nothing in the
ancient geography OF Egypt and Israel
led to suppose that cities with these
names existed, the savants had over
looked these two inscriptions, more
especially that OF Joseph-El, the real
signification of which they had not dis
covered. Mr.. Croft, after having thor
oughly studied the Karnak lists, found
that the names thereon were not geo.
graphical, but ethnographical ones;
that is to say, that they referred not
to cities, but to populations or tribes
made prisoners by King Thothmes,
and that the words Jacob-El and
Joseph-El indicated two Israelite
tribes, led captive into Egypt by that
monarch. These two names, more
over, concorded with the Biblical ac-
count, which describes Israel as hav-
ing been divided into two large fami-
lies-those OF Jacob and Joseph.
The discovery is evidently a very
important one. To begin with, it
brings before us the oldest existing
mention of the Hebrews, because
Thothmes III. lived about 700 years
before David. Next, it throws the first
ray OF light on a portion OF hehistory
OF Israel which has hitherto escaped
US. In fact, the families of Jacob and
Joseph, having been expelled from
Egypt with the Shepherd Kings, as is
fully established by other hieroglyphic
Bible, which came several centuries
later, in no wise alluding to this first
expulsion, the fact OF the tribes called
Jacob-El and Joseph Ell, made prison
ers during tha. interval, becomes
most interesting. Should this not be
regarded, as Mr.. Croft says as a lost
page of the Bible? It's beyond doubt,
that there is in the Bible a long hiatus
| between the end of Genesis and Exodus
in other words, between Joseph and
Moses. Mr.. Groff's discovery proves
that during that period the Israelite
tribes were out of Egypt, because
Thothmes wages war against them
and makes them prisoners at Maged
do. This raises the question, whether
it was during this captivity that they
multiplied to a degree which alarmed
the Egyptians and led to the events
narrated in the Book OF Exodus.
1t is to be hoped that Interior dis
coveries will complete those OF Mr.
Croft, who has established fixed
point, around which other facts vii!
group themselves.

she was struck. In this instance the

that she was seriously injured, headed

that the damage done was compare

An Express Train in Massachusetts Go
Down En- hS n L

DOVE an Embankinent.
A terrible disaster occurred on the
Fitchburg Railroad, midway between
BardweIl's Ferry and West Deerfeld
Station, on the night OF the 7th, the
eastbound passenger train, due at
Greenfield at 6:05 P. NJ, going over an
embankment 200 feet nigh. Six bodies
have already been taken out of the
ruins, and it Is not known how many
Others were killed. The train was the
Eastern express and consisted OF a
baggage car, a smoker, a sleeping car,
g mail car and two ordinary
passenger cars. The train was in
charge of Conductor Foster, with Her
bert Littlejohn as engineer. At the
point where the accident occurred, the
road runs along the edge of a high,
steep precipice, and when the train
reached 1t the track began TO settle
and the entire train went rolling down
the precipice TO the very edge OF the
Deerheld River. The cars immediately
took fire from the overturned stoves,
and all but one were destroyed. 1t Is
thought that every one On board was
more or less injured.
