A Curious Chinese MYTH.

The curious belief exists in China that white
hairs are spread over the ground by earth
quakes, some affirming that these hairs are
those of the huge subterraneous animal that
shakes the world. DIR. Macgowan has sug-
gested that fine crystals have been deposited
from gaseous emissions during shocks, but in

Chinese traditions had Q vegetable origin
This leads Professor w. T. Dyer to point out
that an English writer who had the curiosity
to investigate the alleged phenomenon after

that the hairs were those of horses, dogs and

The Car and Foundry Co.

ST. LOUIS, April 26.-Two hundred
striking employees OF the Missouri Car and
Foundry company held a meeting yester-
day to hear the report Of their committee
appointed the day before to call upon
President Mcmillan and persuade him to
aocede to their demand that the company
cease furnishing material to the Missouri
Pacific. The committee reported they
had called upon Mcmillan, but could OBJ
tain no assurance from him that their de-
mand would be complied with. The
meeting then adopted resolutions setting
forth their reasons for striking and they
would not return to work until their de-
mands we're granted. All strikers were
not present, however, and those absent
not being bound by the action of the
meeting, returned to their old places at
work this morning; several new men APP
piled for places and there are now at work
about $50 in all.
President Mcmillan says that the man
agement of the company will take back
all of the old employees who apply for
work to-day. and will employ all efficient
new men who desire to enter the com
service. He says the works will be
IN full operation by the end of the week.

NEW YORK, April pa most serious
struggle is about to begin in tLis city and
vicinity over the eight hour movement.
The hope of the Central Trades and Labor
Unions of ready acquiescence by the
larger proportion of employers in the ex-
pertinent proves groundless. In accord
ance with plans made a year ago, the de-
mand made for eight hours was to be en-
forced May /. In view Of the disturbed
condition of labor it was recently deter
mined to limit the demand TO the building
trades. The Central Trades and Labor
Union recently made public many replies
received from employers in answer to
questions sent out. This has resulted in
an address published to-day, signed by
1875 employers in the building trades. The
address declares there is nothing in the
present outlook to warrant any such
change, and that any attempt to arbitra-
rily enforce it will simply result in the re-
tirement of capital from business enter
prises, which is now occurring. The con-
illusions are summed up in the following
recommendations The hours Of labor,
rate Of wages and time Of payment to re-
main as at present; but on Saturday eight
hours To be accepted as a days labor. II

to yield any point in their demands, and

DENVER, April 26.-Dr. f. W. Hirsch,
the murdered man, whose body was found
in Golden Gate park, neal San Francisco,
yesterday. lived in Denver four years ago,
He was a Hebrew magnetic physician,
and had quite a lucrative practice. One
of his patients was a young French girl,
a servant in the family of a prominent
citizen, who was suffering from a lung
disease. The doctor became fascinated
with the personal attractions of the girl
and succeeded in seducing her. She soon
was in a delicate condition, when DR..
Hirsch sought to get out of the dilemma
by procuring an abortion. While working
to obtain that object, the girl confded her
condition to her employer, who obtained
Hirsch's arrest and conviction. His sen
to the penitentiary of four years re-
gently expired, Hirsch going West, since
when nothing has been heard of him.

A Battle With Moonshiners.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April 26.-A
special to the Times from Manchester,
Coffee county. Tenn, gives the details of
a bloody tragedy enacted there shortly
after midnight this morning. in which

see, and captured and destroyed several
stills. Between II and | o'clock this
morning fifteen moonshiners rode into
Manchester determined to have Purdon's
life. Seven broke into his house and the
balance surrounded it. Purdon met them
as they entered with a revolver and a ter
rible battle ensued. Two moonshiners
fell to the floor MORALLY wounded and the
gang retreated, but they had succeeded in
fatally w%ounding Purdon. Disabled as
he was, he seized a double barrelled shot
gun and fred into the retreating gang
and two more fell MORALLY wounded. Pur-
don then fell dead beside the body of one
of his victims. The gang carried off
three of their wounded companions. A
large posse is now in pursuit of them.

AN OUTRAGE.
A Train Wrecked on the Mis-
souri, Pacific.
The Fireman and Brakeman
Killed.
Engineer Fowler Thrown Into
the River.
Train wreckers at Work Again

KANSAS Cry, April 26.-rhe incom-
ing freight train On the Missouri Pacific
railway was wrecked at 4 O'Clock this
morning between Wyandotte and this city.
Spikes had been removed from the rails
on a curve and when the train approached
the engine and four freight ears vent off
the track down a low embankment. The
engine rolled over and stopped bottom
side up at the waters edge. Ben Hor-
ton, fireman. and George Carlisle, brake
man, were killed outright. Engineer j.
5. Fowler was thrown into the river and
seriously injured. No clue to the identity
of the perpetrators of the outrage has
been obtained.
LATER The scene of the wreck is
about two miles from this city. The
Missouri Pacific track there skirts the
bluffs which line the west bank of the
Kansas river, and passes under the street
bridge which connects the Wyandotte with
Kansas City. Engineer Fowler says
that be Stacked speed on the APP
preaching bend of the river, keep
ing a sharp lookout. As the train
passed under the bridge it was going at
about six miles per hour. He saw several
men in a group. apparently watching for
something to happen. The engineer
reached for a rife that he carried and just
then the train struck the loosened rails.
He reversed his engine and jumped off,
landing at the waters edge The fireman
was caught under the engine and was
killed. His body was recovered at 9
o'clock. The brakeman who was on the
forward car was carried down and was also
crushed to death. 1t is reported that a
man named Converse, who was among
the crowd of spectators on the bluffs above
the track, fell over the bluff to-day and
was fatally injured. 1t was also said that
three men were seen going rapidly up the
track after the accident, and refusing to
halt we're fired upon by the Waterman
and deputies, but without effect, and the
fugitives made for the woods and escaped.
An incoming passenger train from the
north on the Missouri Pacific was de-
rallied tonight between Ouindaro and
Wyandotte by unknown parties who
hurled stone through the car windows,
breaking several panes of glass out, but
fortunately i%njuring no one. A squad of
police was later sent up the road on the
night freight in search of the miscreants.
They will return at 4 o'clock in the morn
ing. Two colored tramps have been ar
rested at Wyandotte, suspected of wreck
ing the train this morning. There is 10
definite evidence against them, but they
will be detained to await developments.
KANSAS CRY, April 26.-An Atchison,
Ks, special says The strikers this after
noon took forcible possession of the Mis-
souri, Pacific yards there, drawing out all
men who had gone to work since the
strike begun, six weeks ago. The strikers
organized in the yards and marched TO
the shops where the workers went out
with but little protest, bloodshed being
thus avoided. The fires in the shops
were drawn and a guard appointed to pre-
vent any of the new men returning.
