all right. They had quit threshing

/ take pleasure in saying that i

count, 1t has saved me $25 in six
weeks. My daughter learned the
system in short while and can now
draft any pattern worn by man, wo-
man or child. The fit is perfect. i
see no chance for it TO be otherwise

Mrs. MAMIE GRlssAM.
PEMBROKE, KY, Mar. u, 'SS.
Mr.. Ed Sterling,
Sir The National Garment Cut
ter represented by yourself in my es-
timation is the nearest perfect and
more easily learned than any other
system before the public. 1t is cer-
tainly the housewives friend.
My wife learned the system in a
few lessons and used it twelve
months with entire satisfaction. She
asked me question about it soon af-
ter purchasing the outfit and on ex-
animation l saw the simplicity and re-
liability of the system and with very
little study / learned to cut any pat
tern wanted. Often when my wife
was busy l drafted patterns for her
with ease aud correctness.
A few trials gives convincing proof
of the correctness of the system and
begets confidence in the most timid
of their ability to cut and fit.
l volunteered my endorsement of
the cutter and take pleasure in Civ
ing this testimonial. 1t is seldom l
give a testimonial on anything OF
this character, but as learned it so
rapidly, almost by accident, l am
convinced that any one can easily
learn and successfully use the sy stem.
You are at liberty to use this if you
choose. Truly, j. G, Bow,
Pastor of the Pembroke Baptist
church.

PRESIDENT cLEvELAND's FUTURE.
Numor that He Is to Be President of the
 Baltimore and Ohio.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l6-The rather ire quent visits which have been made to the White House and Oak View by Senator Cor man during the past nine days have been the cause Of not little speculation here. The result Of the election had, it was thought, settled for some time all the political oues- tiens that would call for repeated conferences between the president and the senator from Maryland
 Many wild guess has been made AS to the cause Of these meetings, but it was not until last night that the first substantial rumor made its appearance. A prominent Balti- morean was in the city and he is responsible TOT the dissemination of the story that Sena- tor German was endeavoring to so arranee matters that President Cleveland should be elected president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company
 The annual meeting of the stockholders of the road will be held on Monday next and the president of the road will be chosen by the directors about Dec. 15 This plum. it has been hlnted, could be So shaken that it would orop Ill the lap of Senator German, but that gentieman's friends say he prefers politics to railroading.
 Knowing that he could secure the position says Dame Rumor, the senator decided. if agreeable to Mir. Cleveland to throw his weight and influence in his behalf. How the anar will be adjusted cannot as vet be stated, but 1t is believed that the present temporary organization, with Samuel Spen- Ger at Its head, will be continued for another SIX months, and that possibly in June next MT, Cleveland will be elected president.

Dudley and Mr Quay have reached the termination of their inlu. ence; that there will be no legislation or ac- tion hostile to the south and that the home rule influences under which large amounts of northern capital have found profitable in vestment in the south will not be disturbed, but rather encouraged. The positive style of the editorial and the fact that these utter, anceS come from Editor Dawson, who is q member of the national Democratic executive committee, and who has just returned from a northcrnNisit, have caused much attention to be given to the publication

RloTlNG IN BROOKLYN.
Striking Street Car Men Attempt to Pre-.
 vent the Running of Cars.


 BROOKLYN, Nov l6-The railroad strike took very serious turn yesterday. From the hour the strike began until yesterday ii was a very tame affair, but after that it gave rise to some of the most striking scenes ever witnessed in that city
 Officers of the road caused the rumor to bt spread that 1t would hire a new force in the morning. The employees made up their mind: to prevent any car from running.
 A number of the men went off to their an nual ball At day break about two thirds Of the 3oO on strike assembled near the stables, part of them at Nostrand and Park avenue and the others at the car barn up in Nostranc avenue, opposite the penitentiary. Crowd. of boys and idle young men not connected with the strike assembled also. It was glorious chance for them to make trouble 1t Is not necessary to say they took side: with the men on strike
 ord was passed along that fifteen new men had been hired to take out cars as soor as the police arrived. A crowd went dowr to Lee avenue and Gwinnett street anc tackled one of the companys switches. They ripped up the plates and filled the holes with stones, rendering the switch useless.
 Slabs of brown stone secured from neigh boring yard were placed across the tracks and crowd of boys rolled ash barrels and
 
 the street.
 The company's officials decided at 10 o'clock to send out car from the penitentiary end of the route. The car left the barn at 10:3( and swung on to the down track Tremen douS groanS and volley of stones greeted it. \ crowd got on the platform and around the horses, which they tried to unhitch. Sergt. Cans ordered his men to charge The off. cers, armed with their night sticks, dashed after the crowd, numbering 400, who scam, pered over the fields near by. Meanwhile gang of young fellows rolled several big rocks across the down track. The officers who made the charge arrested four men.
 The car continued to the end of the route and tho return trip was not quite so tenn, pestuoCs, although it was enlivened by number of similar episodes. Two other cars made the round trip and were stoned at fire Quent intervals
 A conference between the company and representatives of the men was held last night, lasting until midnight. It resulted ir compromise, and the cars are running to day as usual

This makes the deaths reach at least thirty-four, and this may be increased to thirty-seven, because of DOT tions of three being found Wednesday, IL has not yet been decided whether these DOT tions of bodies belong to bodies previously found, or whether they are the remains of unknown men It is possible there may have been two or three victims whose names were not on the company's books, having begun work during the week of the fire.

ALL ExcoMMuNlcANTs
Dr. McGlynn's Followers Are Considered
 Outside the Church.


 E NEW YORK, Nov. 16-The action instituted by Philip McGuire, administrator of his father, John McGuire, against the trustees of St. Patrick's cathedral for an injunction to re- strain the latter from interfering with the burial of the plaintiffs father in Calvary cemetery, and also to recover S1 900 damages, was brought to trial to-day in the supreme court, before Judge Beach. Mir. Mcclure Sr., was great admirer of Dr. McGlynn, and while attending a meeting of the Anti Poverty society on Feb. r last suddenly fell over and died. The trustees refused to allow his remains to be buried with those of his wife in Calvary cemetery, and they were buried Ill Greenwood cemetery, where they nave since been waiting the result of this pro- ceedlng by his family The plaintiff alleges that bis father purchased the lot in Calvary cemetery ill 1870, when his mother died, pay Ing S10 for it, and that the old man, be- Ing good Catholic for many years and regular attendant of the church, was entitled to burial there.
 The defense declares that as Father Mo Glynn was removed from his priestly office and was no longer connected with the church. all those who followed him and acquiesced in his anti-poverty doctrine, which is antago- nlSuc to the teachings of the church, really became excommunicants and are so consid- cred by the head of the church. This view ot the matter Col Bliss, counsel for the trus- tees, announced had been approved by the hlgheSt authority in the church at Rome, and hence the result in this case would not only effect the burial of Mr Mcclure, but also all others who sympathize with the ex- priest and believe in the doctrine now advo- cated by him. He asserted that any Catho- lie aiding or assisting Dr. McGlynn placed themselves in the same position that he was, according to the highest ecclesiastical au- thOritieS
