A NARROW ESCAPE.
Tom Northern Comes Near Losing
His Llfe-A Vicious Cows
Work.

In the southwestern part of the
city this afternoon, Tom Northern
and Fred Panhorst were engaged in
driving cow up town, when the
animal became enraged. She
charged at the men who were driv-
ing her and in attempting to head
the COW off, Mr.. Northern got i'll
the animals way and was severe
ly gored in the groin. The COW
then turned upon Mr.. Panhorst,
who was riding horse, and being
unable to get at HIM made wicked
lunge at the animal with her head.
The horse was almost dIsembowel-
ed at the first blow. Mr.. Northern
was taken home and it is thought
nothing serious will result from the
injury, though the wound is a
dangerous one. The horse, "a valua-
bic saddle animal owned by Mr..
Panhorst, may die. The cow died
after having been shot three times
with a Winchester.

THE GREAT STRIKE WARS"
Statistics of 1888 Show q Decided EaIlins
Off i'm the Number Of Employees Affected

Statistics OF 1888 Show Decided Fa1lin e
Off i'm the Number Of Employees Affected.
During 1888 there were reported to
Bradstreefs 679 strikes and lockouts, an
average of more than two each working
day, involving I'll, S41 industrial en-
ployes, as against 884 strikes and lockouts,
an average of nearly three each working
day, involving 345, 5s4 employees, in 1887.
and $50 strikes and lockouts, involv-
ing 448,00O employees, in 1886. These
figures would seem to show that the high
est point of the so-calied strike wave"
was reached in 1886, and that since that
time the decline in the number of en-
ployes involved, at least, has been steady
and of considerable volume The de-
cline in the number of men involved in
strikes in 1883 from the totals of 1886 was
236, 1853, or over 50 per cent, while the de-
cline lastyear from the figures of 1887 was
1903, or 38 per cent. Comparing the
number of strikes reported in 1883 with
those of 1886, 679 against $50, there is
apparently an increase of 81 per cent. in
two wears

plus Dec 81, 1888, was $7,940, 622. The de-
tlclency for the eleven months ending Nov.
3o, 1888, made the net general income sur

of various salndry surplus accounts swelled
this am cunt SO that the total general sur

have contributed about ST. .S00GOO the re-
mainder having BEEN advanced by the Atch-
lsOn company.
The Boston Adcertasea' says regarding the
report, that it is unsatisfactory because out
of a mileage of about Z .l04 miles the report
only covers about 5000 miles: also that the
statement varies from that published Jan. g
1889 in that gross earnings for the eleven
months are $751; 1862 larger, expenses S55, ITO
larger, and net earnings $18,357 smaller.
