OF the tie up of the blizzard, would be
the most serious and affect commerce,
as well as the well being Of every east
ern city, the opinions Of that genial and
practical railroad man Chauncey NJ.
Depew were sought yesterday by q
Herald reporter. The President OF the
New York Central & Hudson River road
was somewhat reluctant to speak on the
subject, owing to the position he occu-
pies, as, he said, his language might have
some effect he had not intended to pro-
duce. t.... ,
"Do you think, Mr.. Depew, that the
railroad strike will extend to the eastern
roads, as is rumoredW
81 see no reason why it should. There
are no circumstances existing, so far as
i am aware, that would seem to warrant
such step.p :,
"There are rumors that tho strike will
become general. Have you any infor-
nation which would tend TO confirm or
deny such a reporta" .ril.
"Well, no. / have not been in Chi
cago and haven't seen any railroad men
since Thursday. 0n.that day there were
some here and they told me they could
not understand this strike, especially
since its recent developments."i
"If 1t should become general or extend
to the eastern roads what, in your opin-
ion, would be the etfect?n
"It would depend on its extent, char
acter and causes. There are no two
strikes alike, still some OF fts~ effects
would be this: Coal and food would give
out. Everybody would be out OF en-
ployment and the working class would
be the greatest sufferers. Chicago could
be starved to death In that way, for it
would be entirely shut off from the out
side world"
'What course would the Eastern
roads be likely to pursue in such an
eventuality?"
"That is hard to tell until the nature
OF the strike became known"
as there any likelihood of trouble on
the Eastern roadsW
"None. have heard of no complaint
on any OF the roads"
at is reported that the Chicago rail-
road men have decided to order strike
on the Lake Shore, Chicago 4 Alton,
anHandle, TT. Wayne and Santa Co.'S.
Wouldn't that interfere seriously with
Eastern ConnectionsW i
"There would still remain several
roads open, and it wouldn't embarrass
Eastern railroads to any extent"
"Mr. Depew, how doyou regard strikes
"Do you favor arbitration ?"
81 do-that is unless the strikers want
to get the entire management OF the
road. Then you can't arbitrate."

THE HEALTH COMMITTEE.
Tho "Garbage Trust" and obStreperouI
Visitors Before It,

Visitors Before It.
The Council Committee on Health
held another session last evening. 1t
was more interesting than usual, and
the aid of the police in preserving order
had to be invoked before the session
was. over. The members did not get to
acting so beldly as to require this, but
some OF the outsiders did.
The committee was called for the pur-
pose OF investigating the "Garbage
Trust" of Clark & Cline, claimed by
Frank McSherry to be in lively exist
ence. This statement was brought out
by the refusal Of Council to award the
Third district bid to one Sprague, SON
in-law OF McSherry's, at his bid OF $3.50,
for the reason that he was not OF age.
The Third district matter was referred
back to the committee with instructions
to also investigate the Crust" At last
nights meeting DR.. Ulrich, the chair.
man, ruled that the committee was called
on to investigate only the Third district
matter. Messrs. McGregor and Ferrell
objected to this; they wanted to go into
the entire matter. Mr.. Davis came in
afterward and sided with them, and for
a time there was warm discussion in
the committee. Then the point was
made that there was no quorum present,
but it was decided to go ahead anyhow.
Andrew Murphy, to whom had been
awarded the contract for the First dis
trict after Thomas Troy had reported
that he could not give bond, sent word
that he could not give bond, Mcsherry
came to the front at this junction and
said the ''Trust" had frightened Murphy
off. Then Burns, who got the Fifth,
and who was charged by McSherry with
being @@in the "Trust," came in
and become so demonstrative to-
ward McSherry that Officer Dekn
had to be sent for to eject him from the
room. Afterwards there came near
being riot between the contractors
and their friends gathered in the hall.
Mike McGraw was given the First ut
$3.50 and Henry Retzer the Third at his
bid OF 81 900. Further investigation Of
the "Trust" is declared off.

CHAUNCBY DRPEw ON THE STRIKE,
The Eject it Would Have If Eastern Roads
BecOme Involved.

New YoRK, April 2.-The Herald this
morning prints the following: The
Burlington & Quincy railroad strike,
with its far reaching rami6cations is as
suming such gigantic proportions that
its effect is likely to be felt farand wide.
Other roads are, through some cause or
other, becoming entangled in this great
struggle; one city is threatened with
starvation and II is not impossible, judg-
ing from the news which comes fromthe
West, that the strike may be extended
to the Eastern roads, although there
are not ut present so far rs known to
the outslde world, any existing circum-
stances which would justify even an
eyentuaiity. As II enters the realm Of
nossibilitics, however, and as the effect

well on the West Virginia stomach, and

A HORRIBLE CRIME.
A Young Lady school Teacher Brutally
Murdered by Trnmps.

REvovA, Pa, April 2.-Information
has reached this point of brutal muir
der committed four or five miles south
OF Curwensville, in Clearfeld county.
Miss Lizzie Eastman, young lady
teaching school in one OF the farming
districts, was found dead in the school
house last Tuesday evening Her
tongue had been cut from its roots and
was found beside her dead body. The
school had been dismissed as usual at
o'clock and the pupils left their teacher
alone in the school-house. In the right
hand OF the dead woman was found q
lead pencil and on the floor near her
dead body was written in her handwrit-
ing the revolving particulars OF her
death.
Two tramps had entered the school
house. They overpowered and assaulted
her, afterwards severing her tongue with
a knife and then fled, leaving her for
dead. She recovered sufficiently to
write on the school house floor and had
succeeded in giving the above particu-
lars, with description OF her assailants,
when she grew too weak to write more,
and died before she was found.
Miss Eastman was remarkably beau
tiful girl, but OF a most fearless DISPOSE
ton. She had often been warned
against tarrying too long after school, as
tramps were not infrequent in the neigh
borhood. She always laughed at such
remarks and asserted that she was not
afraid Of being molested. The descrip-
tion left by the girl is sufficiently COM
plete, so that the men can probably be
identified if found. Such is the state Of
excitement that II they were found they
would be hung without parley. Ayoung
man who was engaged to the unfortunate
girl is almost crazy, and swears he will
not rest until he has found the tiends
and slain them both.

The Bill Amended.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-At a meeting
of the Committee on Ways and Means
this morning, the committee formally
passed upon the Mills bill, with three
amendments, which were offered
and adopted with the usual party vote.
The first amendment related TO the
sugar schedule, and is very slight. 1t is
intended to wipe out the difference be-
tween the thirteenth and sixteenth
standard OF low tests, and make the re-
duction affected by the bill more nearly
20 per cent. 1t also strikes out the pro-
yiso "That no drawback OF duty shall be
allowed or paid on any sugar exported
from the United States.
The next amendment inserts after the
wool and woolen schedule the following:
provided, that from and after the pass
age OF this act, and until the first day OF
October, 1888, the Secretary OF the Treas.
ury be, and he is hereby authorized and
directed to classify MS woolen cloth all
imports Of worsted cloth, whether known
under the name Of worsted cloth, or un-
der the names OF 'worsteds' or 'diago-
nals,' or otherwise.
