THEIR ovERALLs.

The Entire system Of Six thousand
Miles Of Road Practically at q Stand.
stilI--The Demands of the Strikers
what the oficials Say.
CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-The strike on the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy was an
accomplished fact at 4 o'clock Monday
morning, when all the engineers and
firemen left their posts. -Four engineers,
picked up la a hurry, are running subur.
ban trains. Assistant Superintendent
l.. A. Rowland, in default of fremen,
donned oyeralls, and went to shoveling
coal into the hungry stomach Of a su.
blrban engine in good style. DR.. Will
Jams, nr. stones secretary, said the SUI
burban service would be continued to an
extent sufficient to take care of regular
travel.
The great building on the corner OF
Adams and franklin streets, occupied
by the Chicago, Burlington g. Quincy
railroad, was besieged early in the morn
ing by a large number. of men, whose OBJ.
~jective point seemed to be the Office of
the general superintendent, to secure en-
pfuy uitut dS engineers. Az ~ O'CLOCK,
when the United Press representative
left the building, not less than fifty
men We're gathered in the corridor
awaiting their turn for an interview.
It is reported, on excellent authority,
that the general master workman arrived
here early this morning and held a pro-
longed interview with Chief Arthur.
Prominent knights assert that there is
no hard feelings between their ~organiza.
ton and the Brotherhood, and the
Knights employed by the Burlington will
go out to a man, If ordered. This being
the fact, the Burlington will be disap-
pointed in its expectation Of recruits
from the ranks of the Reading railroad
strikers.
Following Is the substance of the de-
mands made by the strikers:
i. Pay to be governed solely by miles
run, without regard to other conditions
or circumstances.
2. An average increase OF pay.
8. The abolition of classification based
upon length of service, age or experience.
a. No more examinations or tests ex-
cept such as are agreed upon by the zen.
eral manager and the general grievance
committee.

Emerging from the shadow Of the

the road up up, up, under beetling
cliffs Of plutonian rock that seem about
to topple down upon tho pathway. The
rock IS naked and black near the road

drapery OF lianas, curling creepers, un

Of crawling dull echoes Of dropping; the
thick growths far up wayern the breath

sickly odor Of humid deco. position. Fur

ever since the earliest observers
made the discoveries which Pliny
records. A long series Of beauti.
full experiments. Of which the most pict.
uresque and the most famous was Frank.
Inns drawing Of electricity from the
clouds, had scarcely done more, however,
in respect Of popular knowledge aud ap-
probation OF the mysterious force, than
to keep alive the sense Of awe with which
it was invested, when suddenly the tele-
graph transformed the world. Then for
the first time the invisible spirit became
a valued though still an unfamiliar friend.
But yet the vast field over which cleo.
tricity wgs destined to assume control
was visible only TO few prophetic eyes.
Experiments in electric Lighting had been
practically successful only within very
narrow limits and beyond few mechan-
ical applications which now seem meager
and insignificant the general public saw
nothing more than vague possibilities oil
the future II was the invention Of the
telephone-at once a marvellous toy and
practical necessity-that first gave TO
electrical science the impetus under which
the immense progress Of the last decade
has been accomplished. That was indeed
a touch Of nature which made the whole

Damage to Crop. E,timated at 100000

PETERSBURG, September 16.-The APP
pomattoX and Noitaway Rivers are
higher than they have been for ten years.
and the damage to crops on these streams
will be immense. In some places the
growing corn is entirely covered by
water, and the low lands for miles around

have been swept away, entsiling heavy
.osses. The AppOma,toX River here has
Oyertlown its banks, and the water ex-
tends for some distance over the wharves,
aud to night is still rising. The Roanoke
River il 81 feet over high water mark,
flooding Northampton aud Halifax coun-
ties and doing immense damage. Many
b uses have been washed sway and many
cattle drowned The damage TO the
crops is estimated at s400 900.
