White Caps Among lis.

This White Cap business is getting
to be pretty serious matter, and is
spreading all over the country. With
in a week, some of the most reputable
men in this city, have received letters
OF warning from this strange order.
The letters are printed by pen, and
upon them is skull and cross bones
in red. One of the letters were writ
ten in red ink. The letter purported
to come from Local Branch No. 79.n
The men who have received these let
ters, are i'll at ease, and one gentle
man has purchased revolver for his
protection. The matter shonld be
sifted out, and the guilty parties pun
isaed.

About Knives.

A dealer in cutlery expresses the
opinion that not one man in fifty knows
how to sharpen a pocket knife. "A
razor" he says, must be laid fiat on
hone, being hollow ground and requir-
ing fine edge. But a pocket knife
requires stiff edge, and the moment
you lay it flat on a stone, so as to touch
the polished side, you ruin the edge.
The blade must be held at an angle of
twenty or twenty-five degrees and
have an edge similar to a chisel. This
is technically called the camel and is
marked on all new knives by fine
white line which does not remove or
touch the polished surface. Knives
improperly whetted are often con
demned as too hard or two soft with.
out reason.

A PLEASANT SURPRISE.
Domino Gardner Taken in by
His Friends.

One of the pleasant surprise parties
that the people of Shiloh know so well
how to make, occurred to-day week,
at the residence of their pastor, Rev. T.
l.. Gardner. He had just returned
after a two days absence, attending
the funeral of one of his menlbers, at
Somers Point, N. j., and was quietly
resting by his study fire. when foot
steps were heard, and ring of the
bell, that brought him to the door;
whereupon he was met by a crowd,
comprising the old and young of his
Society. They poured in upon him
loaded with everything that could
administer to the comfort of the family.
Mr.. Gardner was taken completely by
surprise, and the house was soon filled
to overfiowing, over one hundred and
fifty of his pa:ishioners having taken
possession. The loads of good things
that were left in the house and barn
showed full we'll the esteem we have
for our pastor who has so earnestly
and successfully.labored with Euss for
the past nine years. The good cheer
and expressions of kind regard we car
ried were praised more than the ma
terial aid in cash and provisions. After
a pleasant season of socialbility and
song, Mr.. Gardner expressed in a few
feeling words, his appreciations. We
hope both pastor and people were en-
couraged to double their efforts in the
future for the right
ONE WHO WAS THERE.

BOTH FEET OFF.
a TERRIBLE RAILROAD AC-
CIDENT.
Walter Sharp has Both Feet Cut
Of by IL Railroad Engine

Walter Sharp, assistant Drill Master
of the West Jersey Railroad yard, met
with n terrible accident yesterday
a week, which resulted in the loss
of both his feet. About three o'clock
in the afternoon Drill Master Shamelia
and Mr.. Sharp rode from the depot to
More, Jonas & More's glass works,
where an empty car lay on the track.
Mr.. Shamelia had jumped off the
engine which John Holmes was run
ming, while Mr.. Sharp remained upon
the pilot, or in other words, the COW
catcher. Upon the bottom edge of the
pilot is small iron projection upon
which a man can stand. When the
engine was nearing the car the engi-
neer slowed down, and Mr. Sharp
raised the iron bar which is used in
coupling, and it was in doing this that
he lost his balance and in an instant
his feet were across the track, and
the first wheel of the engine passed
over them. AS he fell Engineer
Holmes saw him throw his hands up,
and immediately brought his engine
TO e standstill. Drill Master Shamelia
heard the cracking of the bones as
they were crushed, and he hurried to
the assistance of the young man. Ly-
ing pale and bleeding beside the track
he found him, and then he was tender
~ picked up, placed upon q board,
and taken to the depot. Here he was
laid down, and physicians summoned.

BY this time DIR. John Moore arrived
at the house, and the phy~ieians gave
the injured man stimulants. Later he
| was put under the influence of ether
and careful investigation was made
The left foot was entirely freed from
the leg, hanging only by the ragged
skin, and it was removed just below
the ankle joint. The right leg was
very badly crushed, and that too
was amputated just below the knee
The scene at the house after the &C.
cident was most distressing. The
young wife was almost frenzied with
grief, and the young man bearing ur
under his terrible pain, would take
her hand and give comforting assur
ances, telling her it would come cut
all right.

CHICAGO, July 27.-From interviews
with number of Eastern engineers on
their way home from the st. Joe con-
vention, tits understood that they are
satisfied with the result and predict that
the Burlington would be forced to make
material CONCESSIONS within short
time and that the projected confedera-
ton would be a success. A New York
Central engineer, when asked how
Chief Arthur stands with the Eastern
men, said: "They have grown distruSt-
full of Mr.. Arthur, and the events of the
the last two weeks will not tend to allay
the suspicion that he is not the right man
to have at the head of great labor
organization in case of an emergency.
In my opinion Arthur is a good fair
weather leader, but failure when
storm breaks. He weakened first as
soon as he found that the Burlington
was going to make fight. Instead of
making an aggressive fight, he aban-
doned the battlefield in the heat of
the conflict and went home. He refused
TO attend the joint session Just ended,
aud does not hesitate to denounce any

is not Endorsed by the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers. The plan of,
federation will go through, am sure"

Mr.. Hannihan says his visit is for the,
purpose of organization, and will be ex-
tended to several points in the Eastern

members of the two brotherhoods en-
thusiastic in support of the Burlington
strike, and willing to pledge any finan-
cial assistance necessary to carry it to a
successful termination. He further said
that there is no dissatisfaction found
anywhere with the actions of Grand

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 27.-The st.
Paul club had an easy time defeating
the Kansas City Blues this afternoon.
They outplayed the home team at every
point, and had it not been for some
costly errors and miserable decisions by
the umpire, Fessenden, the Blues would
have been treated to a coat of white
wash. AS it was they scored but four
runs, none of them being earned. An
derson pitched a strong game for st.
Paul, the Blues getting but six scat
tered singles, three of which Ardner
made. He was well supported except
In the fourth and fifth innings, when
costly errors were made. Shafer was
too sick to play and Ringo covered sec
ond and did it well. Earle played re-
markable game, although he had four
passed balls. He made two hits and
stole three bases. The st: Paul team
took kindly TO COnway's pitching and
pounded out eleven hits, including a
triple by Morrissy and home run by
Patton. They ran the bases in most
daring manner, stealing no less than
thirteen, of which Carroll got three,
Murphy four and Earle three. Murphy,
Carroll and Patton fielded finely. Car

in the sixth inning, but pluckily fin
