A number of men have been on
strike in Chicago, and it was resolved
that no cars should be allowed to run
on the Rock Island Railroad. The men
knew that if they attempted to interfere
they would be arrested or dubbed by
the policemen, so they stopped the cars
by novel expedient. When the
engines approached to move the cars
mothers with infants in arms and drag
ging youngsters by the hand hurried
along. All ages were represented.
The mothers grouped their little ones
along the track some distance ahead of
the first freight car, and packed them
according TO age on the rails, the
Youngest toward the approaching
engines, the mothers and grown-up
daughters taking position in the rear.
The engine steamed up slowly, but
seeing the living obstacle on the track
reversed and returned to South Chicago.
Then the amazons dispersed, and on
their return jeered and abused repre-
sentatives of the n.pany at the gate,
calling them the most opprobiouS
names, the police by their presence
only reveniing the iufliction of yio-
lence by the Infatuated women.
At two o'clock, when the engines
appeared again, fully two thousand
women and children were thronging
the tracks, and apparently us deter
mined as before to hold them.
Captain Hunt, with sixty policemen,
had reported in the meantime and
attempted to clear the tracks, but could
do it only with great difficulty. The
women, feeling sure they would not
be dubbed, refused to move, or moved
very slowly when told to do so, anG
closed up again on the tracks unless
absolutely held back by the officers.
The engines were unable to get by
them without killing them. The
greatest excitement prevailed, and all
attempts made to move the cars proved
futile.

West virginia Notes.


1t is stated as a fixed fact that the
Penns ylvania Railroad Company will
push its lines into West Virginia this
summer, and that it will strike the Balti-
more and Ohio Road at or near Rowles-
burg.
w. HI. Baker was arrested for settin g
fire to the woods in Nicholas county.
Among the witnesses at the preliminary
hearing was a young man who had the
measles. The result is, that nearly
every one that was at the hearing now
has the measles.
w. A. Pratt, who has been supern-
tending the construction Of the addition
/ to the Weston Insane Asylum, has re-
signed that position to accept that of
First Assistant Engineer for the B. & o &.
road. Thomas Bradbury succeeds hfn'
as Superintendent.
On the right bank of the Greenbrier
river, some six miles above Ronceverte,
is valuable bed of coal said to resemble
anthracite. The vein lies horizontal,
is four feet thick and of indefinite extent.
Cropping from the hill sides it is easily
mined. The Grafton and Greenbrier
railroad is expected to pass that way and
afford access to market.
Citizens living in the neighborhood of
Oak Ridge, Putnam county, are greatly
excited over the sudden appearance in
the community of three Indians from
the West, who have been Systematically
digging over number OF farms for some
purpose, as yet unknown. They have
been seen to frequently consult what
seems to be a map or diagram, and are
supposed to be looking for buried treas
ures. They camp in the woods and
refuse to communicate with any one.
The vote in Calhoun county, on the

wood, Spencer and Chenille Narrow =
Gauge Railroad. The subscription was
carried by decided majority. Gilmer

Fire. Fatal work.

Seven persons were burned 10 death
by fire In Chicago at o'clock Mon
day morning, and several others terri
bly burned. The fire broke out in the
cellar of 733 Canal street, and that and
the adjoining building were soon wrap
ped in flames. Many of the sleepers
were doubtless smothered in their beds
by the smoke which filled the build
ings. The flames, following rapidly
after the smoke, burned the bodies
until they were unacceptable masses
of black and charred bones and flesh.
The lower floor Of 1873 was occupied
by John Raleigh, Jr. His wife was
awakened by sense OF snffocatloh.
She aroused her husband, who threw
up window. The flames scorched his
face, singing his hair and mustache.
He caught his wife in his arms and
threw her bodily through the flames
out of the window. Her night dress
caught on fire. With great presence
of mind she eXtinguished the flames
with her hands and lent assistance to
her husband in saving the lives OF their
two small children. The fire had gain :
ed additional Roadway. He Was una-
BILE TO put the children out of the same
window. He then kicked Oh the wall
to arouse the people oil the second Moor.
Catching the babies in his arms, he ran
up stairs and jumped with them from Il
second-story window. The second floor
of No. 1873 was occupied by the Dnrkin
and Murphy families. No member OF
either of these families escaped. The
firemen, in searching the ruins OF the
houses, came upon the most narrowing
scenes. Some were lying in the half
burned beds. Others who were awak-
ened before death came upon them
were clutching each other in groups on
the floor. All the victims had evident
ly been overcome by smoke before any
effort could be made TO escape. n
tub containing clothes saturated with
coal oil was discovered in the basement
after the fire. Two previous attempts
were made to set the building on fire
i'm 1881. There is no doubt that the
fire was of incendiary origin.

A Double Execution.

Wesley Honesty and Tabby Banks,
both colored, were hung at Winchester,
Va, last Friday for the murder of a
young white man named Joseph Nc
Faul in November, 1884. Just before
they were hung the condemned men had
religious services in their cell. The
criminals sang loudly and entered into
the services with great fervor. The
parting scene with the jailer and fami-
ly was sad one. AS soon as the scat
fold was reached they both mounted
firmly up the ten steps and took their
places on the trap. Banks began to
tremble violently, but Honesty remained
firm. The hymn was then sung, "There
is light in the Valley" the prisoners
singing loudly. When asked what they
had to say, Honesty said: 81 thank
God am converted. | am going home
to heaven. No mans blood rests OIL my
soul. | have not to answer for it. l
thank all the officers and ministers for
their Kindness" Banks said. Il am
not guilty of what is put on me: | want
to meet all my friends in heaven"
Their limbs were then tied and black
caps drawn over their heads. Both
cried out in loud voice, "Good-by !;
God be with you ALL" Sergeant Crebs,
who was in cell opposite the gallows,
sprung the trap by pulling wire. The
time was % minutes after .. They
plunged through to within three feet Of
the ground. Banks limbs were drawn
up five times and Honesty's twice. At
fifteen minutes Of ten the physicians
pronounced them dead. Upon being
lowered into the cofiins their nec&s were
found to be broken. The ministers all
say they never had such exhibitions of
thorough conversion, self-rcl:ance and
total absence from fear Of death in their
religious experiences. The dying in
junction of the men to their associates
through the representatives of the press,
was to take warning and keep out of
bad company.

4 Poisonous Lizards Bite.

Some one had caught large heloder-
ma and had tied it to post, and there
was usually crowd about it. Among
the lockers on was drunken fellow,
who was amusing himself by stirring
up the reptile and telling the crowd
that lie did not believe that it was poi
sonous. Some of the men took him
away several times, but at last he began
to call everybody towards, in drunken
fashion, and before any one could stop
him he thrust his hand into the ami
mails mouth and was severely bitten.

in my life. In a short time he began
to feel sharp pains in his arm, and be-

obliged to lie down. He was sobered
completely, and though they poured all
the liquor down his throat that he
would take, it had no effect upon him

ten or twelve miles away, but the man
died where he fell, right in the street
in the middle of the town, surrounded
by crowd of as white faced men as

soon as he became conscious he would
beg some one to shoot him, and some
were in favor of it, but the majori-
ty ruled, and he died from the poison in
less than an hour after he was bitten.-

THREE EFFECTs.-The thousands OF re-
markable cures which have been accomp-
llshed by Hoods Sarsaparllla are due simply
to three effects which this great medicine
has upon those who take it:
First: 1t purifies the blood.
Second: II strengthens the system.
Third 1t gives healthy action to the di-
gestive organs.
With these three effects no disease can long
retain its hold. 1t is forced to leave the sys-
tenn, giving health and strength through
the potent influence of Hoods Sarsaparila.

IT is hard enough these days to get a
criminal in the penitentiary, and the
pardoniBg power should be seldom ex-
erciseG. We are influenced to make
this remark by reading that Governor
Wilson, of this State, has pardOned Jo-
seph Paul, a notorious murderer. Paul
has killed two men in his time, and for
the second murder, after a long and
tedious trial, he was sentenced to the
penitentiary for sixteen years. He had
served four years of his time, when
Governor Wilson pardoned him OH the
ground Of newly-discovered evidence.
Paul acknowledged his crime Ia court
aad once plead guilty, but "newly.dis-
covered evidence" gets him out of the
peniteatiary. Politics Is said to be at
the bottom of the matter.
