his disease, but without any special benefit.
After being suspended eight months the engineer
again came to DIR. Clark and insisted that he
could hear perfectly while a moving engine
The doctor thought ne would test the case, and
accompanying the man to Cincinnati, made a
number of experiments with him on engines.
The result that the doctor found the en-

TUE READING STRIKE.

Mr- Tiilnan Made Chairman OF the House
Committee--Statement of Mr. Brumnl.
WAsHISGToN. Feb. 10.--Ths special commit
tee appointed to investigate the existing labor
troubles in Pennsylvania elected Representa-
tive Tillman chairman, aud then listened to an
informal statement from Representative
Brumm, whose district is in the Reading region.
lie said that the railroad and mining companies
were one. and controlled the mining and prices
OF coal in the entire region. He thought this
whole lockout was fostered by the Reading Com
pany, and that the other corporations were as
deep in the mud as the Reading is in the mire.
In his judgments, il the coal mining business
were not connected with the carrying business
the effect would be to put higher prices on coal
and lower prices on freight In. that way.
while the miners could be paid higher wages,
the lowering of tolls would allow coal to be sold
more cheaply, and by increased demand the
coal output could be increased and more work
afforded the men. When the Woykmen's Benev-
olent Association was power in the coal region,
and there were numerous individual operators,
the men were better treated. Subsequently. the
railroads, by auuoyances of all kinds, crushed
out great many individual operators, and Sc
cured control of the Others. From the time the
long strike occurred in which the men were
beaten, there had been constant complaints that
the established Reading scale was
violated ito tho injury of. Of tn. the
miners were combining with the railroad men.
While the latter were in the wrong first, the
blame of refusing to arbitrate rested upon the
railroad off cials. After the first interview with
Superintendent Sweigert, said Mr.. Brumm. the
representatives of the men had attempted. they
said, to send kilograms declaring the strike off
and ordering the miners back to work. but the
Western Union Telegraph Company, which, to
q considerable extent was controlled by the
Reading company, hao refused to send some

sequence. many of the men at distant points did
not return to work, the company had. the next
day, laughed in the strikers faces. The hearing
will be continued tomorrow.

mRn1
Lieutenant William Henderson of the Ha-
tional Guard of New York arrived in this city
yesterday He il to meet Xavier Orlofski,

in practice. He has horse in New York
that has been through several combats, but
he says that it makes horses nervous to trans

spirit between the two men on account of
certain alleged Dragging done by Orlofski.
Lieutenant Henderson has defeated the Black
Hussar twice, while the latter has defeated
Lieutenant Henderson once, which the latter
says was not done fairly.

able bodied man with along military record.

old. He has served in the Army of the POI
tomac and with Ben Butler also through the
war, and was connected with artillery, IL
fantry and cavalry. It was here that he
learned to WELD sword. Afterwards he
served in the Fifth United States cavalry and
fought Indians. He IL now foreman of the
Grand Central depot in New York.
Orlofsh Is very powerful man. The
match to-day In for the best II points out of
20. A point consists of cutting the amor
on the body with blow that Is not inter
cepted by the opponents sword, cutting off a
little flag and top of the head mask and dis
mounting the opponent.
Capt. II. 81. Embler and Col. LOOMS will
be the judges, and everyone may rest as
sured that the contest will be an exciting one.
Lieut.. Henderson says he will try his best to
defend Americas name against Germany.

who SIs In the Back Gallery.
Football practice begins at the field this
afternoon and it is earnestly hoped that a
large number of candidates will present
themselves.
If the Grammer school rush is any criteri-
on their ought to be plenty of good football
timber in the Freshmen class. There will be
second eleven maintained and the usual
college side will oppose the Varsity.
The "News" has been distributed free for
the past two days, the regular delivery be-
gins Monday and all who want their copies
delivered at their rooms should sign the list
at the coop.
The "Courant" is out this morning, free
copies to Freshmen.
No lists of the Freshmen can be obtained
as vet 30 that no exact estimate can be made
of the size of the classes, but from all indi-
cations the Academic Freshmen number
about 215 and the Shelf Freshmen 1875.
Sheriff., '89, who strained his leg in the
games in Detroit, Wednesday, will be unable
to run for ak months at least, but it is hoped
that he will be all right again for the Inter
collegiate games in the spring.
Woodruff 80 will not train for the Univer-
sity football team this fall, as his old trouble
with his knee which prevented him from
rowing in the Varsity boat last June is again
troubling him.
