THE sTRFET-cAR STRIKE.

NEW YORK, April 27th.-Y Yesterday after
noon one of the. strikers placed stones IN
the groove of the company's cable branch
on steep decline, and loss of life was pre-
vented only by the caution that was exer-
cised in the operation of the cars. A man
whose name is Miller was arrested. Sev-
eral arrests of drivers on other lines were
made for malicious interference with the
drivers of the Third avenue road. The
fact that indictments against some sixty
leading strikers have been found has
caused excitement among the latter. The
strikers begin running stages on Third
avenue to-day from Harlem to the City
Hail.
President Lyon, of the Third-avenue
Company, says he will have no more con-
ferences with the strikers, and that he
would resign rather than confer with them
again. Experienced drivers are being
sought for in OF er cities, and when the
running of night cars is resumed, if the
police are unable to preserve order, the
Governor may be called on to give military
protection to the cars.

The Citv,s Shade Trees.

The number of citizens who approve
the action of the city authorities in cut
ting down the trees on Broughton street
is apparently very small, while those who
condemn it is without doubt very large,
Indeed the destruction Of the Broughton
street trees has been the occasion OF
many expressions of indignation.
The people of Savannah feel a JUS
pride in the city's trees, and the destruc-
ton of a tree on any street, whether by
storm, decay or the AK, is noted with re-
greet.
If the destruction OF the Broughton
street trees had been a necessity there
would have been no murmurings, but il
doesn't appear that it was a necessity.
They did not interfere with the improve,
ment OF the street, and their removal un.
covers some rather unsightly buildings
The only possible benefit that is likely to
result from their disappearance is that
the owners of the unsightly buildings,
seeing how inferior they are, will replace
them with attractive ones.
The removal OF trees, however, has not
been wholly confined to Broughton street
1t is stated that trees are cut down Oh
other streets even when there does no
appear to be any satisfactory reason fol-
doing so.
There ought to be some system tina.
would be acceptable to the public adopted
with respect to the planting and remova
of trees. Those who now have the juris
diction of them may not entertain views
with regard to them hat are approved by
the great majority of the people, and, al
the people are most interested in tn,
matter, some means ought to be taken t
get an expression of their wishes.

wonders OF the Telephone.

1t begins to LOOK as if the telephone
would largely take the place OF the tele-
graph. A telephone recently invented
by Mr.. William G. Turnbull, of Balti-
more, has shown a ~wondrous capacity for
long distance speaking. A few days ago
a test was made between Washington
and New York, which was in
every respect satisfactory, and on
Sunday a test was made between
New York and Cleveland, a distance OF
$50 miles, which was entirely successful.
A person talking in the Cleveland office
could be heard about as distinctly in the
New York office as if he we're only in the
next room or on an adjacent block.
improvements Of the telephone are be-
ing made all the time, and 1t Is not I'M
reasonable to expect that at an early day
New YORK will be able TO talk with San
Francisco, and perhaps with London. In
deed, it may not be too much to say that
the wonders ofthe telephone are not yet
half revealed.

Be Patient with tho Living.

Sweet friend, when thou and l are gone
Beyond earth's weary labor,
When small shall be our need of grace
From cOmrade or from neighbor;
Past all the strife, the toll, the care,
And done with all the signing,
What tender truth shall we have gained,
Alas, by simply dying?
Then lips too charv Of their praise
Will tell our merits over,
And eyes too swift our faults to see,
Shall no defect discover:
Then hands that would not lift a stone
Where stones were thick TO cumber
Dur steep hill path, will scatter flowers
Aboveour pillowed slumber.
Sweet friend, ~perchance both thou and /,
Ere love Is past fOrgiVing,
Should take the earnest lesson home:
Be patient with the living!
To-day's depressed rebuke may save
Our binding tears tomorrow:
Then patience, e'en when keenest edge
May whet a nameless sorrow.
IT'S easy TO be gentle when
Death's silence shames our clamor.
And easy to discern the best
Through memOry's mystic glamour.
But wise II were for thee and me,
Ere love Is past forgiying,
To take the tender lesson home:
Be patient with The living.

A w HOPPER.
A Snake Three Feet Long Pulled Out of
a Mans Throat.

BOSTON, April lS.--A special to the Globe
from Grand Falls, Me-, tonight says: David
Ferguson has been suffering terribly for the
past six months. His disease bafled the skill
of all the physicians in the country, and some
were called IN from Lewiston and Auburn.
None of them could diagnose his case. He
has been constantly losing flesh and fire.
q%uently felt a choking sensation in his throat.
Yesterday afternoon he began coughing vio-
lently, he had grown purple in the face
when a snakes head suddenly darted out of
his mouth. Ferguson saw the snake but an
instant and then fell fainting to the floor. HIS
sister Rebecca came in and he told her what
had happened. She asked him to cough again
and said # the snake showed his head she
would seize 1t and pull the reptile
out. Ferguson coughed two or three
minutes. Rebecca stood in front of
him. with her hands upheld. Suddenly the
snakes head appeared with such n hiss that
Rebecca jumped away David told her not
to be afraid. but TO grab surely next time.
Rebecca ncrved herself. wrapped a towel
around her right hand and stood ready. One
mOle coughing spell and the snakes head
darted out. Rebecca made a lunge at it and
caught its head in the towel. Then she quickly
wound it round her hand and gave a jerk.
Out came three feet of snake and around its
tail a piece of flesh from Just below the
throat into which the snake had grown. A
blood vessel was ruptured and Ferguson bled
TO death in a short time. Local doctors think
the snake must have been swallowed by Fer
guson while drinking water in the dark dur
ing some OF his deer stalking expeditions.

The Ohio Bribery Investigation.

81
Partisan Injustice has seldom been more
conspicuously displayed than 1t was IN
the majority report OF the committee ap
nointed bv the ohio Legislature 20 inves'
rigatc the charges OF bribery peferred
AGAINST four members OF that body in con
|nectiou vita the election of Hon. Henry
3. PAYNE TO tue United States Senate. The
bribery charges were originally made by
a man named Donayin, and were after
wards put into a shape that seemed ia
make an investigation necessary.
Stripped of all yerbiage the charges were
that MIR. Payne had purchased his cleo
ton.
The committee worked three months
and took 5000 pages of testimony. There
were two reports. The minority report
was made by the Democrats, and stated
that there was no evidence to support the
charges. There were a great many ru-
mors but no facts. The majority report
made by the Republicans, stated that the
charges against the four members re-
ferred to in the resolution authorizing the
investigation we're not sustained. This,
Of course, was an admission that nothing
had been discovered that inculpated Mr..
Paine. Notwithstanding the failure to
find that Mr.. Payne had done anything
that an honest man would blush to do the
Republican members Of the committee
recommended tina the United states
Senate should begin an investigation into
Mr.. Payne's right to a seat in that body.
simply because there had been rumors
that he succeeded in getting elected by
the improper use OF money.
Can partisan malice and unfairness 20
further than this? If the Republicans of
the Ohio Legislature were not able to prove
that Mr.. Payne was c~orruptly elected
how do thew expect it to be lone by an in
v%estigation instituted by the Senate?
MIR. Payne has been very frank about
this alleged bribery business ever since
the charges were first made. He offered
to appear before the committee at the
offered to submit to it whatever books
n papers might be called for. He was
not called as a witness and no demand
was made for papers.
Fair-minded men, after they had thor
oughly inquired into all the rumors and
found them to be without foundation,
would have said frankly, and without
reservations of any kind, that so far as
they were able to find out, MIR. Payne's
election was without any talnt of corrup-
ton or wrong-doing. But fair dealing of
that sort is 100 much to expect from Ohio
Republicans.

A New Industry az Chattanooga

The beginning Of the manufacture o
Bessemer steel rails at Chattanooga on
Monday is an event of interest to the
entire South. Steel rail mills will doubt
less soon be established at other points
in the southern iron region, and it would
not be surprising if in the very near future
the South should make the greater part of
the steel rails demanded by the market Of
this country.
The reason why this may be the
case is that iron and steel
a be produced cheaper In the South
than in the North. Even now iron is be-
ing shipped from Alabama to Pennsyl-
wanna. The steamships from this city
carry large quantities of it to Philadel.
phia and New York. In Alabama there
are iron ores enough OF the very best kinds
to supply the world for generations. The
same Is true with respect to Tennessee.
The iron and coal are close together, and
can be mined at a comparatively small
cost,
All that is required in the South now is
capital TO cause a transfer OF the great
iron and steel interests OF the country
from Pennsylvania to Tennessee and Ala.
bama. The transfer may be slow, but II
will be made. The production OF iron in
the South is steadily increasing. The day
is notdistant when Birmingham and Chat.
tanooga will rival Pittsburg.

New York Republicans v

Wv AbAA AfCDAO lACdh0 NOESNCus
The New York Republicans are in a bad
fix. They nave been ''hoisted by their
w petard," knocked out, defeated and
almost demOralized. Since the local cleo
ton in Albany last week and the veto of
the new capitol appropriation bill, the
ambulance corps of the Republican party
in the Empire State has been busy gath
ering up the wounded politicians, and the
hospital surgeons are yet employed with
political lint aud bandages.
The Republican manipulators were sat
isied that the Governor would see through
the job contained in the bill and that he
swould not approve 1t, and hence they held
it back and passed l. it just before the AL
bany election, believing that a veto at that
time would cause the hundreds of work
men WHIT would be thrown to vote SOL
idly against the Democrats and thereby
enable them to gain an easy victory. This
scheme was frustrated by Lieut.. Gov.
Jones, he of BInghamton, who refused
to abet it and declined to sign the bill on
the day it was senthim. This enabled the
Governor to hold back his veto message
until after the election, and although it
was conceded that he would veto the bill.
with all the Republicans could do or say
the Democrats elected their city ticket by
a greatly increased majority.
Then, as if TO taunt the Republican
managers after their defeat, which was
like a bombshell in the party throughout
the State, came the veto message of the
Governor, with its crushing statements
OF u~ndisputed facts and its overpowering
logic. He reviewed the history of the
bill, how it originated with the Albany
politicians. and was engineered as a poll
tical measure. and then he told how it
would please him to approve an honest,
STRAIGHTFORWARD bill. About all that they
could say against the message was that
it read like a ''stump Speech but they
could not deny its crushing effect.
Now it is more than probable that the
Republican legislators will be toe stiff to
come to the Governors terms, and that
work on the new capitol will stop for two
or three years. The Republicans will
have to bear the responsibility for this

From the PhiLddelDhia Times tIad.l
Senator Riddleberger thinks that the rea-
son the secrets of the executive sessions get
out Is because the newspaper men are shrewd-
imam the senators. Standing alone tina
theory may not seem very important, but
taken in connection with the fact that the
secrets do get out il appears to score a point.
Az any rate, the newspaper men of to-day
nave improved on the newspaper men of half
a century ago and the same thing cannot be
said for SenatOrs.
