not appear at the power house yesterday af-
ternoon In his absence Chief Engineer
Davis said last night:
1--WE now have all the cars we want run
ming, and will have more than enough men
in the morning. One of the strikers who
was called off his car this afternoon told me
a few minutes ago that he would be on hand
me if his Job was still open. AS he is q
good man and, / think, was led into the
strike, concluded to take him back. All
the men we had here are good, sober, sensible
fellows, and am sorry that they took the
foolish step.
s'Within one hour after the strike we had
crews for all the cars. AS far as we are con-
cerned the strike is thing of
the past and was i'll advised.
1 do not see what the men
hoped to gain by going into it.
They know we pay better wages than any
road in the State and the treatment given
our employees has never been complained
of. If the men want to throw up good
thing that is theirsbusiness. They will find
that we can get along just as well without
them"

trians and drivers of vehicles to get out of
the way of the cars, all the time listening to
the jibes of persons about being "black-
sheep" He said, as he walked away last
night, that he would not swing another
lantern until the company reinstated the
strikers. Pedestrians have come TO look
upon Harry" as fixture at the corner,
and his face will be missed this morning.

AN ONTARIO IDYL.
How Young Man Rescued Young Lady
and Found Bride-A Romance With n
Chrissmaa Sequel.

How Young Man Rescued n Young Lady
and Found Bride-A Romance With a
Christmas sequel.
A gentleman from Chicago was waiting
in the Fort Wayne station in Allegheny
last evening to board the limited for the city
which expects to get the Worlds Fair. His
name is L. A. Earseman, and he had stopped
in Allegheny to visit friends on his way
home from Philadelphia, where he had at
tended wedding around which halo of
romance had cast its interesting charm.
A fascinating young lady from Philadel-
phla named Jeanette Hill was spending
the summer just past at Charlotte, N. Y,
on Lake Ontario, and before she had been
there many weeks she became an adept at
handling q sail, and frequently went out
on the lake for exercise and recreation.
There was a young man from Cincinnati
summering at the same place, who was
Known as j. G. Cummings, who also en-
joyed himself on the lake during the after
Moons. He was of a very retiring DISPOSE
tion, and, although young man of excel
lent qualities, he made few friends.
One afternoon toward the latter part of
August Miss Hill went down to the beach,
and started out for sail. Mr.. Cummings
was Of the same mind, and about the same
time started out on the lake few hundred
feet behind the boat in which Miss Hill was
sailing. They had not gone far before
squall was seen coming up the lake. and In
few moments the wind had struck her boat.
Before she was able to right it
the sails and ropes had become
tangled. Cummings saw the predicament
she was in, and instantly steered his boat
toward hers with the hope of assisting her,
but just as he was about to run up alongside
of the one in which she was standing, the
skif veered around and he struck it and
ships. Miss Hill was knocked into the
lake. Cummings CALAMITY jumped to her
rescue, and the boats foated away from
them. He grasped her around the waist
and struck out for the shore.
he had not gone far before Miss Hill in
formed her preserVer that she could swim.
This was surprising statement, but Cum
mlngs told her to place her hands on his
shoulders and he would try to reach the
beach. The water was verv shallow opposite
that part of the beach toward which they
were drifting, and when they reached the
second bar they were able to stand on the
sand and rest few moments.
In the meanwhile darkness had spread its
face over the waters, but the electric lights
on the shore illuminated the crowds which
were promenading along the waters edge.
Mr.. Cummings and Miss Hill started
toward the shore again and soon reached
the first pier. Rising again they made the
last trip, and before a week had passed
cupid had clasped their hands and two
hearts had vowed to beat as one.
