burglar alarm connecting with the Murray

that he received an electric shock that
temporarily paralyzed hima and rendered

the alarm brought in the doorman, and III
this way the Sergeaut's disabled condition
was discovered.
HUnfortunately for the Sergeant, while he
is a good narrator. his memory Is slightly
defective. What he first told a. simple
incident, without any paralysis or loss ot
tongue power on Friday night, suddenly
developed into most miraculous escape
from death. Some of the sergeants in rival
precincts say that il was not Ronk,s first

there would have been no such thing as

LONDON. September 17-N0On.- The adj
vice Of the leaders of the strike TO tho
dock labOrers 30 observe all the provisions
of the agreement under which they re-
turned TO work appears to have been quite
effectual. Early this morning the men APP
peared at the docks and generally went TO
work peaceahly with the blacklegs.
Very few men assembled outside the
docks. They we're quiet. There were,
however, come cases of disturbance. Tho
strikers and "blacklegs" on the southwest
India dock became involved In dispute,
and the men who had been on strike drove
the "blacklegs" ont Of the dock. The
police interfered and quelled the disturb
ancc. The strikers then withdrew and
the "hlacklegs resumed work.
Afternoon disturbances among the
dock-laborcrs have been quelled. Work
has been fully resumed on the Victoria and
West India docks. There has been no
further molestation Of blacklegs on tho
part of the strikers.
When the striking workmen were about
TO resume work at the Albert dock to-day
they found number Of blacklegs en-
ployed on the dock. The strikers made an
attack on the blacklegs and chased them
from she'd to shed. Several OF the black
legs received injuries which necessitated
their removal 10 "a hospital. The men who
made the assault were discharged. The
directors IF the dock companies threaten "A
general lockout If the men do not live up
10 the terms of the agreement their repre-
sentatiVes have signed.
