Engineers, Firemen and Switchmen Again

CHICAGO, March 3O-The st. Paul yard
men who started to go TO work last night
at ten o'clock had but begun TO get their
engines started out when message came
to the Western avenue roundhouse that all
the men should wait until Assistant Cen
eral Superintendent Earring had seen them
before resuming work. Mr.. Earring soon
arrived, accompanied by Division SupcrIn-
tendents Collins and Hardigan. Jerry
Dougherty, an engineer, acted as spokes-
man for the men. Mr.. Earring stated the
case briefly, as he understood 1t, and then
said:
I'VE have submitted to many acts that
we have considered unjustiiiable on your
part. This afternoon men IN our employ
deliberately derailed and wrecked num-
Der of cars that are our property. In adj
dlton to that, they assaulted and beat Su-
perintendent Bcsler, of the Burlington
road. THIS is Inexcusable. We will con-
sent to overlook this and you can go TO
work, but the first work that is to be done
is to replace those cars on the track and
put them on the track where they be-
long"
"Never, never" shouted a score Of
Dougherty claimed that the men were not
responsible for the condition OF the cars.
"As an engineer" asked Mr.. Earring,
twill you volunteer to place that train
where it belongsi"
ssNo, | will do nothing of the kind" said
Doughcrty. "Tbe Chicago, Milwaukee, q
st. Paul has attempted this as a feeler,
and l hope they are satisfied. We Will
never consent to handle any cars pulled by
O. engine. We regret that they happen
to be your cars, but can not help it,"
This ended the conference, the men with
drawing from the room. The officials held
a short consultation and departed The
strikers hung around for a while aud one
by one went home. The strike was on.
The roundbouse was incapable of accom-
modating the combined force OF day and
night engines, and several of them were
LETT on a side track. The men who struck
last night embrace twenty-four switching
crews - FIVE men each-;l total Of ID men.

In the meantime, undertake the task of

The importance Of several pending meas

DOMESTIC TRAGEDY.
SanguInary Fight Between Man and VILE
Both Fatally Wounded.


CuILIIcorHE. Mo-, March 31.-A terrible
fight between man and wife occurred here
at noon Yesterday, which will probably re-
suit in the death OF both. The parties are
Mr. and Mrs. J. q. Gillespie, who were
married a year ago in California and came
here last August, and Gillespie was raised
here and met his wife-a widow-ln Cail-
fornia- He had been very jealous OF her OF
late, and yesterday upbraideo her Win
her Infidelity. There were no witnesses TO
the fight and the first intimatlon OF trouble
was when the woman ran screaming from
the house with the blood flowing from
chastity wound in her throat, and she was
met by Dr. Bora Green, who was passing,
and improvised temporary bandage anu
stopped the flow Of blood, but the woman
was unable to speak A crowd gathered
and went to the house where Gillespie was
found leaning against tree IN the yaro
with the blood streaming from gaping
wound in his breast near the heart. The
woman has not recovered consciousness.
Gillespie made the following statement
of the fight: 81 am dying now. Yes. L
meant to kill my wife and two others TINS

course, but she has beaten me. III coulu

SHOCKING AFFAIR.

Three Children Perish in u Burning Straw
Covered Pen Which They Had Set on
Fire.
MACON. Mo-, March 3l.-Yesterdav after
noon, while Z. S. Richardson, who lives
three miles SOU Invest of this city, was
away from home, somewhere IN his neigh
borhood, and his wife was in Macon on
business, their four children, two, four,
six and eight years old, respectively, were
playing around and in rail pen. covered
over with straw, when one of them struck
a mai CHI which set fire to the straw. At
this time the children were all in the pen.
The eldest escaped without being damaged,
but the other three children did not get out,
and they persisted in the completely burned
rail pen. Nothing could be found OF the
children but their ashes. Mrs. Richardso
learned the terrible news of the burning
of her children on her road home, and she
at once faInted. DR.. Miller, of Macon,
was summoned 10 see her. He says she is
in very critical condition, and that she
will probably lose her mind.

A GOOD CAT STORY.
How Passion and Egotism Run Away with
Calm Wisdom.


One day two learned men, who had
studied Nature all their lives. and who
had spent every day examining ami
mails of all kinds and knew how to talk
about each one. sat together discussing
beasts and worms, fishes and birds and
all species of plants and trees, from the
cedar of Lebanon to the hyssop that
grows on the wall. Both were pleased
and complimented each other. At
length they began to talk about the
characteristics and habits of cats.
They then disagreed and a lively dis
pute ensued. For one of them said:
1.-The cat is the most malicious and
noisome animal, false and mischieyous.
a tiger in disposition as well as in ap-
pearance, though fortunately not in
size and strength. for which last named
fact we can not thank and praise
Heaven enough" But the other said:
1.-The cat may be compared to the lion;
for, beside resembling him in appear
ance, she is like him noble and gener-
Gus; she is cleanly and gentle. and
therefore naturally at enmity with the
dirty and intrusive dog. In short, she
is the most useful animal for which
man can not thank and praise Heaven
enough" Then the other flew into a
passion. for he was fond of dogs and
referred to the dogs of Ulysses, Tobin
and Frederick the Great But the
other confuted his argument by allud-
ing to the cats of Leibnitz, the great
philosopher. who had done so much to
enlighten the world and to exalt others
in wisdom and knowledge. Without
coming to any agreement they parted
at enmity with each other. The one
went home to his aviary; for he kept
living birds, some of which the cats had
eaten. The other went to his museum
of stuffed birds and animals, which, to
his great vexation. the mice were de-
stroying. Such are the judgments OF
passion and egotism.-Open Court.

TRENTON, Mo-, March 29-Tuesday night
Sarah Brown, a sixteen year-old girl, was
visiting the daughter Of j. W. Hill, an old
citizen, when the old man reached home in
an intoxicated condition, bringing with
him a shotgun he had borrowed, as he
claimed, to go hunting with. He evidently
thought the gun was unloaded, and when
the girl in playful way stepped in front Of
him and dared him to shoot her he pulled
the trigger, discharging the load in her alb
domen, from the effect Of which she died
In about three hours. Both families are re-

We often hear it stated that a man is not
responsible for what he does not know.
The law presupposes knowledge and there
fore convicts the man who excuses crime
by ignorance!
"If had only known" has often been an
unfortunate mans apology for some evil
unknowingly wrought, but in a matter of
general interest-as for instance that
laudanum is a poison, that naphtha is
deadly explosive, that blood heavily charged
with a winters accumulations of the waste
of the system-it is ones duty to know the
fact and the consequences thereof. Our
good old grandmothers knew for instance,
that the opening of spring was the most
perilous period of the year.
Whyi
Because then the blood stream is sluggish
and chilled by the cold weather, and If not
thinned good deal and made to flow quick
" and BEAUTIFULLY through the arteries and
veins, it is impossible to have good vlgor
the rest of the year. Hence, without ex-
ception, what is now known as Warmers
Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, was plentifully
made and religiously given to every mem
Der of the family regularly through March,
April, May and June. 1t Is matter of
record that this prudential, preventive and
restorative custom saved many u fit Of SICK
ness, prolonged life and happiness to a
vigorous old age, and did away with heavy
medical expenditures.
Mrs. Maggie Kerchwal, Lexington, KY,
used Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla ''for
nervous sick headache Of which had oeen
a sufferer for years. 1t has been great
benefit to me-" Capt. Hugh Harklns, liza
S. 18th ST., Philadelphia, Pa, says cit puri-
fed my blood and removed the blotches
from my skin" Mrs. Aarea Smith, Topton,
Berks Co., Pa, says she "was entirely
cured of skin disease of the worst kind"
by Log Cabin Sarsaparilla. Bad skin indi-
Gates a very bad condition of the blood.

Cabin Sarsaparilla and take no other

pletely renovate your impaired system with
this simple, old-fashioned preparation of

Much has been written and said about how to

would seem nothing moro remained to be said.
But the philosophers have gone far out Of their
way to account for the prevalence ofill-assorted
couples and unhappy homes, and have over
looked the chief cause. Most of the unhappi-
ness of married life can be traced directly to
those functional arrangements TO which women
