noble Isabella dArcos, two women will never

sida. Recollect that 1t is dangerous to de-

"You see, father, how necessary it is to
treat with the viceroy, and to obtain the
money required for the ransom of his daugh-
Ger and Jeanne. For if, after all, our expe-

Pietro related to the fisherman the events
of the preceding night, nd told him how
one of the banditt, Conrad, had remained in
the tavern of II Cappucino Then he ex-
planned the manner in which he hoped to
bring the prisoners back to Naples; and to
do which he would no. hesitate, if necessary,
to cut tho threats of thoss who had carried
the two young girls of.
Masaniello approved of his project
Il was therefore agreed that tho fisherman
should only employ himself in procuring the
young girls ransom, while Pietro was intro
duced by Conrad into the fortress occupied
by Corcelli and his band.

SWITCHMEN STRIKE.
Men Employed in the Cheyenne
Yards Out Seven Hours.
Everything at a StandstilI for Over
Half a Day.
Trouble Caused by the Discharge
of a Careless Crew.

The twenty-five switchmen employed in
the Union Pacific yards at this point took
a half holiday yesterday, delayed traffic,
scared the merchants with Christmas
goods on the road and caused a furry
among employees all along the line.
Tuesday evening someone left a switch
in the west end of the yards open and
when the locomotive which hauled the
passenger train from Sidney started for
its stall in the roundhouse it landed on the
ties at the open switch.
Yardmaster QuiRley investigated the
matter and reached the conclusion hat all
blame for the accident attached to the
members of a certain crew. This force
included three men and though they
stoutly maintained that they were limo
cent of the carelessness charged they were
promptly discharged by Mr.. Quigley.
The other switchmen sided with the
three who had fallen from grace, and re-
fused to make a signal or coupling at 7
o'clock yesterday morning. They did
not question the authority of the yard
master, but agreed with the three men
that operatives of the Denver Pacific had
left the switch open. The strikers num-
bered twenty-five, and while a few re-
manned about the depot the majority
donned their Sunday suits and came up
town. The situation was quite serious.
The three switch engines stood ON side
tracks and pulled lazily, while the work
accumulated and road men wondered
when they would get out.
Meanwhile the local officials were in
Geographic communication with Superin-
tendent Cumming. That gentleman
acted with great promptness and excellent
judgment. In compliance with his ad-
vice all the men resumed work and every
thing will move as of yore until the SUI
perintendent's return from the West.
Then there will be some dancing on the
carpet" as the boys put. The persons
responsible for the derailment of the loco
motive will be found out if possible and
surely punished. They say that Mr..
Cumming is a stickler for discipline and
will uphold the yardmaster at all hazards
within reason. Mr.. Quigley, by the way,
has been in charge OF the yards here Tor
nearly three years and has given good
satisfaction.

Fatal Accident at wyoming station

ports that James Mcbride, aged 81 years,
unmarried, and employed as a brakeman,
met with a terrible accident at Wyoming
station at 1923 o'clock Wednesday even
ing, which resulted in his death in that
city less than two hours later.
At Wyoming a water car was to be set
out, and Mcbride was assisting In the

was in the act of setting the brake, when
it gave way and he fell to the track. AL
most instantly the cruel wheels were upon
him, and both legs were crushed into a
pulp, the right limb being cut in two in
three places, and the left limb twice.
His comrades on the train ran to his
assistance at once and he was carried into
the caboose, when it was discovered that
his head had also sustained an ugly
wound. and the brains were oozing out.
Conductor Mcbride, brother of de-
ceased, hastened from Rawlins on a spe-
cial train to his brothers bedside, but
arrived too late.
The coroner's Jury returned a verdict
to the effect that James Mcbride came to
his death by being thrown from a water
car at Wyoming station, Dec. ~, 1888,
while in the act OF setting an old style
and unsafe brake, similar to others still
carlessly allowed by the Union Pacific
Railway company, thus ~needlessly endan-
