THE BURLINGTON STRIKE.

Circular of the Brotherhood Confident of q
Final Victory. i
CHICAGO, Sept. 26.--Division No. 80 OF
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
issued circular week ago. 1t declares
the Burlington strike is still on; that the
Burlington is losing money as fast, if not
faster than when the strike began; that
costly wrecks are numerous; that the
wrecking train is constantly employed,
and yet wrecks have to be burned in order
to clear the track; that the company is
trying to get the old men back, but is not
succeeding. st
The circular exhorts steadfastness among
the strikers; says that winter is fast ap-
preaching, and that the road will have to
succumb to the strikers or to receiver,
and that's receiver will have to settle with
the strikers in order to run the road.
The circular hopes better rules for
strikes will be adopted by the next con-
vention, that the federation scheme will
succeed and that assessments for the bene-
fit of the strikers will be promptly re-
mitted. It declares the go" is losing $40
to every ST. of the assessments. 80
The suggestions are made that the Order
of Railway Conductors be included in the
federation; that large sinking fund be
established for strikes.
All communications, it is stated, should
be addressed to J. A. Bauereisen, Aurora,

THE coR,Nrn CANAL.

-Four Miles Long and to Cost About Six
Millions of Dollars.
Good progress is being made with
the canal across the Isthmus of Corinth,
which is being constructed by French
company. The company has received
liberal concessions of land from the
Government, there being however a
prOvisO that there never shall be any
claim for a subsidy on behalf of the
contractors. The canal will measure
close upon four miles from sea to sea,
with a width of ISL feet, and will be
excavated to the depth of twenty-six
feet below the sea level, mostly
through solid rock, and the expendi-
ture will be 100000 The depth OF
water will be the same as in the Suez
canal. The work is being prosecuted
by $500 men, and is expected to take
three years from now for its COM
pletion. The appliances used at pre-
sent include fifteen engines, each
drawing from sixty to seventy trucks.
At the western end of the canal, on
the Gulf of Corinth. are situated all
the large depots and Offices of the
canal company. Here a new town is
growing up, called Isthmia. { The
depth of water q short distance from
the shore is thirty fathoms. The
work is most irksome and expensive,
the canal having to be blasted rather
than excavated. The sides of the
canal are of solid granite, and there
will consequently be no washing away
or necessity of dredging. The tariff OF
the canal will be fixed at a low figure,
50 as to catch all the coasting trade,
and it is fully expected that, in spite Of
the great expense of the work, it will
pay well in the end.-Iro7s. =. -

RIOT IN CANADA.

Defrauded italian Railroad Laborers En-.
gage in a Riot-Five of the Men Killed.
MONTREAL, Sept. 26.-Contractors. on q
section of the Hereford branch railway
drew check for So, 900 from the company
on account of construction, on Saturday
last, and left the country with the pro.
ceeds. They had in their employ over
700 Italian laborers who had not been
paid cent of wages since August and
were in destitute condition. AS soon
as the duped foreig ners learned Of the
departure of their employees they became
desperate and when yesterday morning
the railroad company attempted to resume
the work of construction they fatty re-
fused to do stroke and at one began de-
stroying all they could lay their hands on.
They soon took possession of the village Of
Sawyerville and threatened to destroy it
unless they were paid. A party of citizens,
with some Hungarians employed by the
railway company, interfered to save
railroad property and des-
perate fight followed. One Italian
and four Hungarians were killed and it is
reported between thirty and forty injured.
The people are terror stricken and have
fed leaving their houses and goods behind
them. At last advices the Italians were
pillaging the deserted houses. The Fifty
eighth battalion left Sherbrooke last even
ing by special train for the scene of the
trouble,

Appalling Calamity.

VALPARAISO, Chill. Aug. ia fearful
calamity occurred here on the 18th instant.
An artificial pond 800 feet above the level
of the city burst, flooding the Valley Yum
gal and several streets. The flood came
down in an irresistible torrent, sweeping
every thing before it and bringing down
rocks and trunks of trees with it. The
stream came rushing through the street
San Juan de Dios in a wave twelve feet
high. Shops were deluged and the con-
tents destroyed. Houses were swept away,
and their inhabitants drowned or bruised
to death. Forty seven bodies had been
buried yesterday of persons killed by this
disaster. The sum of 100000 has been
voted by the Congress in Santiago to re-
lieve the sufferers. A tailor named Torres
lost his house, his shop and contents, his
wife and four children. The loss of prop
erty will probably be ST ,0OO, 900 at least.

THE PERUVIAN GRAB.

Hitch in the Legislature Which May Pre-
vent the Seizure of the Oroya Road.
LIMA, Peru, Sept. pa bill has been in
troduced and approved in the Chamber of
Deputies authorizing the executive to take
over, by force if it should be necessary,
the railway line known as the Oroya, now
under contract for term of years; to M.
P. Grace, of New York, but as the Senate
voted to appropriate the road by appealing
to judicial proceedings, ameasure rejected
by the lower house, there is divergence
of opinion and conflict between the two
legislative branches by which the
proposition may eventually be re-
tarded and lost. The arrival of
Lord Donoughmore, the commissioner ap-
pointed by the bondholders at London,
with the purpose of arranging the contract
with the Government of Peru by which the
foreign creditors would receive all the rail-
ways constructed with their capital, may
also have an influence in this matter and
prevent the contamination of an act against
which the Government of the United
States has manifested desire to protest.
The experience of the administration in
the attempt to manage the lines recently
taken from the contractors, notably those
of Trujillo and from Arequipa to Peru,
has been most unsatisfactory. Instead of
the financial profits announced by the
Government as to be received from the
new system, a deficit is apparent and no
money is available to balance it. Congress
does not take the circumstances into con-
sideraton when debating an appropriation
of the Oroya railway, which is from it's
condition and character very difficult
one to run.

THE CHAMPION BIGAMlsT

James w. Brown Confronted in Court by
Fifteen OF his Thirty-three Wives.
DETROIT, Sept. 26.-About fifteen Of the
thirty three women who were married to
James w. Brown, the champion bigamist,
since 1883, confronted him in the recorders
court yesterday afternoon. The list Of
victims included Helen Brownlee. Annie
Winters, of Chicago, who, with Annie NJ.
Hazel, Mary Benjamin and Nancy Robert
son, were the only ones called on to give
evidence against Brown. The Benjamin
woman was the prosecuting witness. It
was established that Browns method was
to advertise for housekeeper and select
his victim from among the applicants who
pleased him most and marry her as soon
as possible. He would desert her after a
few days. Five clergymen of this city
certified to marrying Brown to as many
different women and the case against him
was so clear that the prosecutor left it to
the jury without argument Brown testi-
fed in his own behalf and made sorry
mess of it, contradicting himself at every
turn. He professed not to remember
any of his dupes, asserted that he was
only once married and that his wife was
dead and that he was once confined as a
lunatic at New Orleans. Brown was pallid
and looked like q sick man. During the
trial Nancy Robertson's indignation could
not be repressed and she denounced Brown
as a ssperfidious wretch" The jury agreed
with her evidently, for they took but four
minutes to find him guilty. Sentence was
deferred for the court to investigate
Browns career still further.
Later-James w. Brown, the notorious
bigamist, was convicted and sentenced to
fourteen years and six months in the
penitentiary. Et

The Copper Syndicate.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-The Senate Cons
mittee on Commerce yesterday began an
inquiry of the operations in this country
of the French copper syndicate. The
information obtained was that the

abroad, paying the American companies
'one-half of the sum realized above IL cents
a pound and making the deficit good when
the price realized was less than 10 cents.
whether seld at home or abroad. The
syndicate had the right at all times to fix
the price Of sale and bad contracts with
practically all the mines in the country.
There were no American members of the
syndicate and the price of, copper to the
consumer to-day was less than the aver
age for the last ten years.
