one of the Confederate infantry lying in q

Striking Chicago suitchmen.

The strike Of the switchmen on the Lake
Shore Railroad at Chicago has assumed serious
proportions. On Friday a carload Of switch
men were brought into the city to take the
place Of the strikers, and an attempt was made
TO run out freight train. A great crowd Of
strikers and their friends surrounded the police
and the train and made many threats Of vio-
lence. Finally, in response TO the cries Of sew
eral leaders. the crowd made rush for the
police and turned the switches, SO that the
train, which had commenced to move out
passed upon the open switches, and was thrown
from the track.
During the melee the police succeeded in
making two arrests one OF them member OF
the Executive Committee OF the Switchmen's
Union. The crowd continued to grow in size
until il numbered about 1900 persons The
crowd manifested very ugly temper, and
shortly after noon some OF the new switchmen
were attacked by the strikers and badly beaten.
AT four o'clock in the afternoon, under the
protection of so of Pinkertons police, the train
was taken out. The crowd made unsuccessful
opposition, and several strikers were knocked
down by the police and three were arrested

A Relic Of the War.

An ugly war relic was rather Unexpectedly
brought TO light last week in a saw mill at
Paducah, Ky. In cutting huge cypress log,
which was culled from a raft of timber just
outside of the Tennessee River, the saw grated
upon some substance which threatened to de-
molish il before the machinery could be stopped.
Investigation found an 1S-pound loaded bomb
she'll embedded in the log, in which the sharp
teeth of the saw had traced cut third of an
inch deep. Nothing outside the log indicated
where the shell had entered, probably % years
ago, the bark remaining smooth and undis-
turbed. The lettering and figuring on the
leaden plug TO the shell, through which the
fuse passed, are still as plain as ever, and show
that the fuse was clipped TO burst the bomb at
1900 yards. 1t is probable the historical bat
tlefeld Of Shiloh furnished the projectile, as
the trees throughout the Pittsburg Landing and
Shiloh fields were badly cut and broken, large
pieces Of shells and solid shot, grape and canister
being to this day pointed out to the visitor,
imbedded, and in some cases hardly visible, in
the huge old trees which dot the sanguinary
fields

hdroitness that Lincoln's forces were soon well
organized, and he was nominated, 10 the sur
prise Of bis opponents. After Nh. Lincoln's

The engineer at the Brush electric light
establishment in Memphis, Tenn, came near
losing his life Wednesday evening last week.
He detected a peculiar odor, as of something
burning, and supposed it to be from one of the
dynamoe. In order to save the engine he ran
to the plugboard and jerked out both plugs.

under him IN half unconscious state, with a
heavy current passing through his body. Being
unable to help himself, he braced himself
against the floor aud rolled or the plugs, calling
for help. He was badly injured, both palms
being deeply burned as if with a hot iron.
His left arm and cheek were also badly
scorched.
