The Packers striks-Did Not Resume

CHICAGO, Oct. 1e.-The packing houses
at the stock yards did not resume opera.
tons this morning, as was expected. A
large number OF men appeared a. Ar
mour's houses at the new time set for
commencing work. After the men had
assembled the head time-keeper appeared
and made an address, in which he told
them that they could come again to-mor.
row morning. The same condition of
things prevailed at the other houses, and
the Pinkerton men still maintained their
positions guarding the property of the
packers. The days DELAY was caused by
the fact that no stock was ready for
Strengthening. Hogs will be on hand in
the morning, and material will be fur
nlshed Tor the men to 60 to work upon.
Mr.. Cudahy stated this morning that
the beef men would be taken back tenn
porarily on an eight hour basis, the other
two hours work rendered necessary 10
harmonic the operations of the various
departments being paid for as extra time
on the same basis. This plan would only
continue until the matter could be
amicably adjusted on a regular basis.
Armour & Co.'s imported workmen,
three hundred or four hundred In mum.
DER, went out on a strike this morning.
They had made up their minds that they
did not care to remain any longer II the
old hours were to come back. Report of
their fears was communicated to Cudahy,
h assured them of protection II they
desired to stay. They had concluded,
however, that while protection might
protect for a while the other butchers
would ultimately make it so unpleasant
for them that they would be
unable to work there long, and
that they had better quit at
once. A train was telegraphed
for, and before twelve O'Clock the last
so-called ''scab" had left the premises,
and was speeding back to the home he
had left with such bright prospect only q
day or two ago.
A Pinkerton officer was badly beaten
this morning. He entered a Lake Shore
passenger coach with the intention OF
coming to the city. He was under the
influence of liquor and fell aseep. While
he was doing a man walked In and gave
him a sound thrashing The unfortunate
sleeper was finally rescued by the po-
lice.

this festive evening is diving for
chestnuts. The nuts or fruit are
placed in a tub of water, and the
players, with their hands tied behind
their back, bob their heads under
the water and bring up what they
can in their mouths. Sometimes long
rows of candle ends, nuts and fruit are
tied to astring across the room. The
players, who are blindfolded, walk
toward the string, and, without being
allowed to make use of their sense of
touch, bite blIndly at the dangling
prizes. If they catch a candle end
they are compelled to eat it. Blind
mans buff and private theatricals are
also INDUCED in, together with for

MISTORTUNES OF AN AGED COUPLE.
William Jackson Attempts to Kill Himself
Ills Wife Is Adjudged Insane.

The condition of William Jackson and lis wife
at No SO Lockerbie street has been pitiable one,
through his love for drink and her mental de-
rangement. jackson has been hard erinker
for years and this often led to domestic broils.
On one occasion, about four years ago, the police
were called in to quiet him, as in fit of delirum
tremens he beat his wife severely and was
awakenening the neighborhood with his
screams. There was a great disparity
in their ages, he being younger
by twenty-one years. Yesterday, Mrs Jackson
WAS adjudged insane her condition being that of
sepile dementa. The day before, the husband,
in continuation of prolonged SPREE drank him
self into state bordering on delirium. The
neighbors were full Of sympathy for the aged
people, and watched them closely. One of these
night before last, took Jackson to Zell's drug
store, on Noble street. to get him a dose of
chloral. While the clerk was preparing the med
icine Jackson slipped into an adjolng saloon. and
was about to drink glass of beer when the
timely arrival of his friend prevented it, The
in the morning had purchased Is cents worth of
morphine After Jackson had been taken home,
DR. Pfaff was summoned, but in the meantime he
had secretly taken the rest of the drug and the
doctor found him unconscious and near death.
The restoratives were sufficient to prolong life
but at late hour last night he lay in a danger
Gus condition with no chance for recovery. At
time Jackson was ell-to-do, and through
his trade as a slate-roofer acquired enough to
buy the home where he and his wife lived. Mrs
jackson will be taken to the asylum to-day.
