-
How a B., z. s. @. Conductor Showed His
Courage.
Last Thursday, as train No. 9 on the
B., Il. & G. railroad was leaving WoodAeld,
it was boarded by a gang headed by a man
named Grumbly, from Freedom, and a
farmer named Carpenter, from the same
vicinity. No sooner had the train got
under full Roadway than the gang com
menced, as they said, to do up the train
and all on it. They began by breaking
the windows and cutting the cushions
from the seats and throwing the passengers
from the car, soaring tine women and
children almost to death. Conductor
Sherry, who was on top Of the train at the
time, hearing the screams Of the passengers,
rushed down to ascertain the cause. As he
entered the door he was met by one of the
desperadoes with q knife in his hand.
Conductor Sherry is a brave man, and
seeing the danger Of his passengers did
not stop 10 think Of his own danger, but
felled the rufian to the floor with one well
aimed blow. The gang seeing their leader
thus used, rushed On the conductor and
beat him in q brutal manner, and would
have killed him had it not been for the
timely arrival Of his brakeman, L. C. Simp.
SOD, who deserves great credit for the way
he used a coupling pin upon the rufians
and oyerpowered them. They were put
under arrest and taken to Summerfield,
where the Justice Of the Peace let them 20,
as his reason that the offence was
committed in Monroe county, and he had
no authority to hold them. Conductor
Sherry showed his bravery, after being
beaten and cut so he could not take fur
part in the fight, by encouraging his
brakeman aud q few bridge carpenters who
had interfered to ave him, to arrest the
gang, and is he lay crushed in between the
seats he would cry 'Give it to them, Ike"
Warrants have been issued for the arrest
the Iuffians.

THE GLASS
The Pittsburg Men WIN Genera ly Rssum,
This Waek.

The Pittsburg Men WIZ Genera Iy Resume
This Week.
The previously published statement that
the flint glass strike was settled Friday was
correct as far as the Eastern factories were
concerned, but the trouble at Pittsburg
was not finally arranged until Saturday.
Ga that day a meeting between manufac.
turers and President Smith, of tho Glass
Workers Union, was held, at which the
manufacturers agreed to wipe out rules
seven and nine, which were particularly
Objectionable TO the workingmen. These
rules permitted the manufacturers to en-
ploy as many apprentices as they desired,
which was considered q blow at the union.
The workers would not agree to anything
that would ipjure their organization, and
ii was finally decided to withdraw these
rules.
President Smith said Saturday evening:
'"The lockout has been settled and all the
factories in this vicinity will be in opera
ton on Tuesday, giving employment to
1900 idle men. The lockout has continued
for about eighteen weeks and the men
have lost about $28,C00 q week in wages,
or about half a million dollars altogether.
There will not likely be any further
trouble in the pressed ware line for ten
years, and the men are perfectly satisfied
with the result.
Mr.. Jenkin Jones, President Of the Asso-
ciated Glass Manufacturers, was seen at his
home Saturday night, and, in answer to a
question asking on what basis the strike
had been settled, said: "Rules Z and 8
were knocked ont, and, az that took away
the objections, the men agreed to 60 to
work. The factories will all start to work
on Tuesday morning. That is about all
that / will say on the matter, and as every
thing il satisfactorily settled / don't see
what more / can say"
The factories will likely close down July
LIST for six weeks.
The furnace men at the Etna and Bel
mont Glass Works, Bsllaire, received notice
yesterday to report for work this morning.
At Rodeter Bros. the fires were not allowed
to 90 out during the strike, and this fac
tory will probably get to work during the
week.

RESORT, YESTERDAY.


Wheeling Park was opened for the sea-
son yesterday, and there was . very large
attendance of people from the city, who
devoted . portion of the day TO recreation

So great did the rush become as the after
noon wore on, that double trains had to be
run, and sven with this addition to the
accommodations of the road, the number

The Opera House orchestra was in a.
tendance at the dancing pavilion, near the
entrance to the grounds, and oil during
the afternoon and evening it discoursed its

Spell. The programme was q long and
varied one, and there was at all times an
audience Of several hundred upon the
benches in the immediate vicinity Of the
pavilion.
Promenading was q popular amusement
the day, and the many hundreds in
strolled over the grounds for
haurs, enjoying their outing to the utmost
and extracting the keenest enjoyment from
the grateful shade, the fresh air. and the
scenery. The Park never looked lovelier
than this season, and with q few more days
Of warm SUNSHINE the foliage will be out in
all its glory. 1t is certain that during the
summer the Park will more than
ever be the favorite breathing spot Of the
residents Of this city, and II yesterday he
anything to 90 by, the attendance, as the
season wears on, will be something enor-
nous.

THE NATIONAL GAME.
rue GLNEs SCHEDULED FOR rHg PRES.
ENr WEEK.


Wheeling has played only three cham
pionship games. all of which she won, and
this places her at the head of the list for a
few days at least until We get = chance 10
lose 3 game or two. However we do not
anticipate losing more than one this
week, aud it is very probable
that nOne viii be lost if the
boys keep on at their present gait. But
the end Of the week will tell that more
de6n tely. For the number Of games she
has played, Canton leads the race, with
Columbus q close second. Both these
teams are very strong, and are about an
equal match. Whether Wheeling comes
in before or after them remains to be seen.
Kalamazoo, Toledo and GAINESVILLE are
about eqUal in strength, and Lima comes
next The other teams will have to
strengthen mp some.

Notes.

wheeling made forty-three rum in three
games, Wkich isn't bad for a start.
Msnsger Moore, of the Zanes, de-, says
the Wheeling team is too strong for the
Tri-State League, ard the management
should weaken it in order to make the
games more interesting. Just wait till we
weaken it. Let some other clubs strengthen
up q little.
The Mansfield Ners says Parson Nichol-
son would look well at second base with
their club. Their is no doubt Of this,
and if Mansfield could get Parson, she
would greatly strengthen her club.
Nightengsle- the second baseman, whom
the Mansfield paper landed so highly,
talked back too much to Manager 0Brien,
who fined him $40 and suspended him
indefinitely.

Maun's foundry, which is in q pretty dark
section of the town, two men suddenly
jumped out and ponnced onto Gary and
slugged him up pretty badly. When he
got away from them he found himself

alive of Gary'p, hearing of the incident,
hunted up Rohan and charged him with
being an acconpliee in ths robbery, and
told him if the pocketbook was not re-
turned in a very brief time he wonld have
the gang arrested. This bluff seemed to
work well, for about an hour later the
pocketbook was left at VIM. Princes sa-
loon, but it only contained SIP SO. 1t is
