A BRUISED ROSE.

The revelry that filed the night is done:
flushed is the patter Of once dancing feet
The rustic Of rich fabrics, laughter sweet;
The music still'd, and morning, newly born,
Hears but its echo
One poor bruised rose,
Let fall upon the floor from some fair breast
Is all that tells it was no cunning jest
Wrought by the deft romancer Of repose;
The music, laughter-all a fitful gleam,
Prea'd from the pillow Of broken dream

A Burmese Photography Barbarity

A Burmese scandal is now stirring
official blood at Mandalay. as it appears
that the provost marshal has morbid
taste for amateur photography that has
led him to experiment upon the unfort-
innate Burmese Dacoits that have been
executed under his direction. Willis
"Parrhasius- has had a literal exempli-
fication in this official, who has on sew
eral occasions added unspeakable torture
to his victims death pangs by delaying
the interval between orders to present
and fire" long enough to allow him to
take two or three negatives with the
camera he carries about with him.
Having had the prisoners drawn up in
line against wall, he would station the
firing platoon before them and get the
camera into position and calmly prepare
his plates. The officer commanding the
soldiers was instructed not to give the
fatal signal till the plate was exposed.
Thus the most interesting negatives were
obtained at the very moment OF the
prisoners death agony. Fortunately
this barbarity practiced in the name of
scientific interest has added nothing to
art. for the cruel operator was such a bad
hand at the work that the plates were
spoiled. The troops were anxious to
lynch the alleged artist. but the English
authorities have promised To make an
example of tlfA amateur photographer
inter Ocean.

THE BRAZIL MINERS.

A Probability that the District May With

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BRAZIL, Ind, May 5.--About tenth only of
the miners of the Brazil district have a member

Mine Laborers, all but three locals having dis

here its State president and other officers live
The association seemed popular among the
miners who met and ratified its latest work, the
establishment of a yearly scale, at Columbus
O., Feb 20. to take effect Nav l. They were
disappointed in that scale. and though they &C.
quiesced and even ratified, yet 1t seems a cause
for dsbanding is traceable to that disappoint-
ment. The miners employed at the Nickle-plate
mine had been working, a contract expiring
May /, at price graded according to thickness
of vein--S0 cents for four feet thickness, and
cents additional for every half foot Hereunder.
The miners claim to have been averaging so
cents. The scale, which goes into effect at the
Nckie-plate we'll elsewhere cuts them
down to a uniform price-S0 cents. Hence the
association committees for settling disputes has
a case hands, which, to all appearances, is
wholly against the miners, but which will be
pressed for adjustment aud which may end In
the district withdrawing from the association.

graded scale at Columbus, hence the Nickle.

THE NEW YORK CAR STRIKE.

The Executive Board Makes Adjustments
Which the Men Are Not Inclined to Accept
NEW YORK, May 5.-An agreement was signed
this evening, by the strikers executive board
and a representative of the Third avenue road
for the settlement of the car drivers and con-
ductors' strike 1t provides that $50 conductors

for $40 men of the l300 strikers and the com
pany are to discriminate as to which they re-
employ. The old men are to be given prefer
ence as vacancies may occur, and the men are
to be employed as needed the cable and

strikers are said to fee, dissatisfied with these
terms, and there some who doubt if the
strikers who signed the agreement can carry the
men as they haveagreed.
23O A. M-The committee of the executive
board of the Third avenue strikers, after
signing the agreement, reported their action
to the full board. A stormy and pro-
tracted session ensued, and the strikers
hearing of the compromise, gathered outside Of
the hall and angrily debated the matter, the
general sentiment being against accepting it.
The board continued In session till l o'clock
without reaching vote on the question of rati-
fying the agreement. The matter will be
submitted to a full meeting of the
