When Lord Nelson WAS buried in St

passed on amid the sobbing of q nation.
There were thirty trumpeters stationed at
the door of the Cathedral, with instru.

signal, and when the illustrious dead ar
rived at the gates of st. Paul's Cathedral.
these thirty trumpeters gave one united
blast, and then all was silent Yet the
trnmpets did not wake the dead. He slept
right on.
Bot have To tell you, what thirty
trumpeters could not do for one man, one
trumpeter will do for all nations. The

Behold the archaugel lowering He
takes the trumpet, points it this way, pnts

PittsburE Engineers Declare Their SYM
pathy With the 40" Strikers.
PrTTsBURG, April 1.-Representatiyes
Of all the lodges of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers in the Pittsburg di-
vision held an important meeting this
afternoon at their hall on Butler street.
The business was to discuss the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy strike, and also to
consider the reports relative to strike
among the Pitts6urg and Fort Wayne en-
ployes. Tire meeting was well attended
aud lasted about four hours. The chair
man i'll opening the proceedings re-
quested the meeting to deal first
with the rumored strike OF the
PittshuTg and Fort Wayne freight
engineers, 6remen and switchmen. In a
few minutes it was soon conclusively
stated that no strike on the line named
had taken place nor would any occur. In-
fornation was rendered to the effect that
the reported strike was false, and was in-
tended to do harm.
The Western strike was then taken up,
and every representative warmly support
ed the strikers. After an interesting dis
cussiOn it was sgreed to support the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy strikers
through thick and thin. A circular
signed by s. E. Hoge, chairman of the
strikers committee, replying TO statements
made by the Chicago, Burlington and
Qnincy officials was then read. The cir
cular which has been sent to every
lodge OF engineers in the country admits
that the strikers demand pay based upon
the number of miles run, but 1t is claimed
that the comparisons made justify oil their
demands.
This evening an official Of local lodge
stated that the strike would not reach
Pittsburg, but that there will be such
general stoppsge on the Western lines
within few days that no live stock or
other freight from west of Chicago can be
forwarded 10 Pittsburg. 1t will be stopped
at Chicago.
