There were rumors about the men arming, but these reports have been disproved. The mass of strikers, as the lockout showed no signs of weakening, became more md moro threatening, and greet mob attacked the police with clubs aud stones.

The police were guarding the men who were at work in the sewer trench The strikers suddenly made arush with clubs and rocks. The police stood their ground and then the carnage began.
 The strikers did the first firing. As they made a rush, single shot was fired, then crnck, crack, crack went the rifle of the police, followed by n flsilade from the strikers re- volvers. After the first fire came an awful hush, as though the combatants were ap- palled at the awful result of their work.
 On the walk in front of Piedm ont as it joins Garfisld avcnue lay a man shot through the heart, and several more bleeding from ghast- ly wounds. The fusilade broke loose again and the strikers, stationing themselves around buildings in different parts of the block between Garfield and Eighteenth ave- nues poured in 0 steady fire on the police who were stationed near the ditch. The DO. lice ultimately proved victorious.
 The action of the police is unanimously commended and their bravery praised. It is settled to the satisfaction Of everybody that the strikers were the ,aggressors, the police by the strikers.

Over sixteen years were spent in
the preparation of the Encyclopaedia

volume OF which has been issued.
Mrs. Delano A. Godda d, who died
in Boston, was lady of fine literary
attainments and a linguist of unusual
accomplishments. She was for many
years the Boston correspondent of tho
Worcester Spy, and Il part of her liter
ary work was the compilation, with
Harriet w. Preston, of a volume of
poems, 'Sea and Shore"

planned the phonograph; as witness.

1889: "In this century of inventions,
when self-acting drawing paper has
been discovered, for copying visible
objects, who knows but that future
Nicpce. or Dagucrre, or Hcrschel,
or Fox Talbot, may find out some sort
of Boswcllish writing paper, to repeat
whatever it hears"
Toward the end of his life, it is
said, Charles Reade was accustomed
to dictate his compositions to secre-
tary while he paced the room, suiting
his actions to his words. In Love
and Money" the remark occurs in the
dialogue, There's smut on your

which was written by Jay Gould, the
railway magnate, before he was known
to fame. 1t is entitled "a History of
Delaware County and the Border

loud in denunciation of aristocrats,
and in praise of liberty, honest men
and manual toll, containing, among
other things. this sentiment:

Are mon whose hands arc brown with toll;
Who, backed by no ancestral graves,
Hew down the woods and TIL the soil
And win thereby prouder fame
Than follow kings and warriors name"
