ON ACCOUNT OF THE FLOOD.
Suspension of Work on the Eastern
Branch Bridge.

The contractor for the construction of the
new Eastern Branch bridge is in a
bad hole on account of the recent
freshet. The foods did not hurt the
bridge in the least. but the work has pro-
crossed so far that there is immediate need for
the stone to complete the two piers made
necessary by the change of plans
demanded by the Pennsylvania railroad. All
of this stone is now at the quarries at Seneca, a
long distance up the river. and the Chesa-
peake and Ohio canal. which is the only means
of transportation at hand. has suspended op-
erations, permanently, it is feared. on account
OF the damage sustained in the freshet There
is at present absolutely no means of getting
the stone down, and the work is almost at a
standstill.
This is in keeping with the series of mis-
fortunes that have overtaken the contractor
When he was ready TO push ahead he met with
formidable obstacle to progress in the way of
a gang of men employed by the PENNSYLVANIA
railroad, who persisted in filling up the holes
he dug as fast as they were opened. Then the
law suit by the government almost stagnated
the work for months. and when the compro-
mise plan was finally adopted combination of
bad workmanship and bad luck caused the
caving-in of the coffer-iam he sunk on which
to build his pier. The piles were not driven
deep enough and the workmen threw the
material out too close to the edge, so that one
night a pile gave way on one side. and by
morning there was no dam there. Throughout
the work there has been the greatest difficulty
in obtaining iron for the structure. and now. TO
cap the climax, comes this calamity whereby
the contractor is isolated from his materials by
more than 90 miles without means to lessen
the distance

The MAVERICK iruucst.

The inquest into the death of MIR. Maybrick,
who is supposed to have been poisoned by
his wife, was resumed in I.ivsrpool yesterday.
Dr. Hopper testified that he had treated the
patient for deranged digestion and nervous dis
orders. He had prescribed the use of strych-
nine, but had never advised the use of arsenic.

quainted with the medicinal properties of
arsenic. Witness stated that in June, 1888,
Mrs. Maybrick came to him and asked him to
speak to her husband about the habit of
arsenic-taking, TO which, she said, he was adj
dicted. Maybrick had acknowledged to witness
that he had struck his wife and given her q
black eye during quarrel about gentleman.
Witness further stated that Mrs. Maybrick had
expressed TO him repugnance toward her
husband and wished that she could obtain q
separation from him.
DR.. Humphreys, who had also attended Mr..
Maybrick, testified that shortly before the
patients death he had given directions that a
few drops of solution of arsenic be admins
tered hourly to the sick man.

ARTHUR OPPOSED TO STRIKES.
Trouble In the Brotherhood Of Loco
motive Engineers.

There is trouble in the ranks of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers. Chief Arthur
is candidate for reelection and as such. has
been making quiet canvass of the various
lodges of the brotherhood Last week a secret
conference for this purpose was held in Chi
caSo. There were upward of 200 members
present. representing lodges in Illinois, Michi-
gan, Indiana, Iowa, and Wisconsin. and with
their defeat by the 90" the momentarily ex-
pected reduction of wages on the Santa Fe,
and the recent discharge by the Alton of a
large number of brotherhood men fresh in
their minds, they were not at all satisfied with
the chiefs optimistic speech. A member of
the general grievance committee got upon the
hoor and, addressing Chief Arthur. said.
Your speech this morning pictured our
organization as lmpregnable and resistless. And.
being so, it had nothing TO fear from any mis-
fortune that might threatep-but that no mis-
fortune did threaten. Now sir, if you believe
such state of things exists You have been in
correctly Informed of affairs. The truth is. a
reduction of wages is expected to be made be-
fore long on number OF western roads. Such
action We do not propose to accept, because we
do not believe it justified. We therefore, de-
sire to know whether in the event OF a reddc-
ton being ordered, despite our opposition, you
would sanction strike.
Chief Arthur did not like the question. but
tlICIo was no ueIp iOr IL. lie nju 10 answer.
With compressed lips he rose to his feet
looked at the determined faces before him and
said: Under no condition of circumstances of
which can conceive shall ever sanction an
other STRIKE"
A murmur of surprise, tlnged with indigna-
tlon, arose, but ceased as the chief continued:
My reason for this decision is two-fold In
the first place, l am opposed TO strikes on gen.
eral principles; in the second place, to strike
would be practically suicide for, owing to the
memorable laws OF supply and demand and
the large number of unemployed engineers in
the country, it would take but an exceedingly
short time to fill our places'
But, SIR" broke in the questioner, 'sup-
pose reduction of wages should occur on the
Union Pacific system, where the Brotherhood
Is SO thoroughly equipped to obtain the
granting of everything they ask. would not you
authorize strike to resist it,"
without a moments hesitation the chief re-
pied: mo, sir; l would not. / trust-I be-
heve that no reduction Of wages is to be made;
but should there be, and the men follow nv
advice, they will accept the reduction. / shall
never sanction another strike" Chief Arthur
stopped and the meeting adjourned
Murnurs of discomfort have been heard ever
since. 1t was known that the chief had q
strong dislike to strikes. but that his conser-
vatlsm was so extreme as his speech showed it
to be was never dreamed.
