More Sanguine Than Ever OF
Victory---An Open Air Meeting.
The strikers held another meeting al
Labor hall last night, Secretary Cronin,
of the Knights of Labor, presiding. A
spirit of confidence and determination
marked the gathering, and speeches
delivered by j. f. Johnson, Thomas
Ward, j. Sullivan and j. Burns were
full of enthusiasm. The vigilance COM
mittees at the different barns reported
everything quiet and prospects good to
prevent the company turning wheel
to-day. A telegram was read from the
executive committee at Minneapolis
stating that 'Everything is quiet; pub
lie sentiment is sOlidly with us. Hold
fast for victory" Letters were also read
from many business men and Other
citizens offering encouragement to the
strikers and cOndemning the reduction

tive committee that the vigilance COM
mitteeS appear at the barns this morn
ing at the regular hours. They were
cautioned a to use every means in their
power to preserve order aud

men was appointed to go out and ascer-
tain the sentiment of the cable men.

returned and reported to the executive
committee, their report creating nc
little discussion. "The street railway
men do not seem inclined," said
a member of the executive committee
at the close OF the session, ''to request
the cable men to go out, from the fact
that they have already been assured
the old rate of wages. They will
not go out" 1t was announced
that 'citizenS' mass meetiDgh
would be held in the open air
tonight in the market place, near st.
Peter and Seventh streets. to discuss

A Belle of Lincoln's Time.

From Washington Letter.
Mrs. Kate Chase, who moved in from
her Edgewood place and took a small
house in town this winter, has gone
very little into society, and has been
seen by so few people that she really
made sensation by her appearance at
Miss Kate Fields lecture the other
night. The lecture was only an incl
dent in reception given by Miss Field
to her friends here, and, after the audi
ence left the chairs, Mrs. Chase was
surrounded quite as much as the
hostess of the evening. Mrs.
Chase is still beautiful, and does
not look thirty-fve, but all the. arts of
the toilet have been drawn ON to keep
up this bloom of youth, and some of the
arts are very apparent. The beautiful
hair, that used to be chestnut brown, is
now auburn, which gives the artificial
look to the whole makeup. She wore
demure gray velvet ana wool gown and
pretty gray bonnet, and near by or far
away would never be taken for the
woman who was married in the early
years of the war, and has been before
the public and through trials and tribu-
latiOnS ever since. Her eldest daughter
in New York studying for the stage,
and the younger girls are in school here.

"sTAR-sPANGLED BANNER"
The Music to Which the Trenton
and Vandalia Went Down.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 14.-The San
Francisco Chronicle, commenting on
the details of the wreck of the American
and German warships at Apia, says:
"1his account settles all doubts in re-
gard to the responsibility for the disas-
ter. 1t proves that American and Ger
man commanders did everything that
good seamanShip could do to save
their vessels, and that the escape of the
British ship CalliOpe was due mainly to
the great strength of her engines. The
American officers proved their
claim to superior seamanship, and
the saving of the crews of the
Trenton and Nipsic was due to the skill
full handling of those vessels. Mr.. Dun
ming, the special correspondent of the
Associated Press, had rare good fortune
to be the only newspaper man who wit
messed the disaster. His account is
superbly realistic picture of the scenes
of heroism and suffering which are
without parallel in recent years. The
story of the fruEless attempt of the war
vessels to escape is full of pathetic feat
ures, and we think no American can
read without emotion, the thrilling
episode of the crews of the Trenton and
the Vandalia cheering each other. and
of the band of the Trenton striking up
the Star Spangled Banner as the ship
swept on toward certain DEATH"

An Indiana WOman's Hot Pursuit
Of SaIoonkeeDers.

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, April IL
Mrs. w. o. Leeds, wife of one OF the
richest men in Indiana, has Sc
cured evidence that nineteen diff
ferent saloonkeepers in Michigan
City have sold liquor to her
husband this year after she had, in ac-
cOrdance with law, formally notified
them not to do so. The notices were
served by her in person. An interview
with Mrs. Leeds is given, in which she
attributes Mr.. Leeds drinking habits
to the influence of politicians
and saloon men. who have fastened
themselves upon him. Mrs. Leeds says
she proposes TO nave the saloonkeepers
suffer from SO TO 500 fine for every
drink sold to Mr.. Leeds after notice was
given. Her investigation showed Incl
dentally that, out of siXty-five places in
Michigan City where liquor is sold, only
fifty-one are licensed. She intends to
have the unlicensed fourteen forced
to close. Mrs. Leeds adds: "Fm not
prohibitioniSt. I'm temperance
woman. Eve told them in one place in
town that Mr.. Leeds can come in there
and take his beer, but he mustn't take
too much, and they mustn't sell him
too much" Mrs. Leeds is well supplied
with money, and looks like a deter
mined woman. The saloonkeepers do
not appear to be worried. 1t is rumored
that Mr.. Leeds has promised to stand
back of them III any proceedings and
supply the SinewS of war. The amount
of money he can control is estimated to
be $4,000, 600.

SHOT IN THE MOUTH.
Suicide of Capt. Reed, Of the
Eleventh Infantry.

PLATTsBURG, N. Y, April 14.-About
1880 o'clock Saturday night, Capt. Og-
den B. Read, of the Eleventh United
States infantry, stationed at Plattsburg
barracks, committed suicide by shoot
ing himself in the head. He haciust
returned from town, where lie had gone
to obtain admission to the court house
tomorrow to hear the arguments in the
Harrison murder trial now being con-
Quoted there. After greeting his wife
he went into the sitting room.
A moment later Mrs. Read heard
a shot and ran into the room,
where she found her husband lying on
the floor, with blood flowing from a
pistol shot wound in his mouth. He
had placed revolver in his mouth and
the ball penetrated the brain. Capt.
Read was forty-siX years old, native
of Colchester, Vt. He enlisted as
private in the Tenth Vermont volun-
teers in 1862, and gained promotion by
brave and meritoriOus service to the
rank of brevet major. He took part in
many battles, including those of the
Wilderness and the siege of Peters
burg. He was severely wounded by
the explosion of the Petersburg mine in
1864. He was for some time in the gen
eral recruiting service in the West and
for two years has been commanding
officer at the Piattsburg Barracks. Re

lty. He leaves wife and thtee chill

MAPPING AT THIRD,
The visitors had Siebel in the box up
to the fifth inning. when Hungler was
put in. The latter could not get the.
ball over the plate, giving six men bases
on balls and hitting couple more. The
HawkeyeS were the first to score. Cline
took base on balls and Powell was hit
in the back. Each took a base ON a
halk. and passed ball enabled Cline to
score, Powell following moment later
while Mains and Broughton were argu-
ing with Umpire McDermott. The vis-
itors tailed three times in the fifth.
Crotty accepted base as reward for
waiting, stole second, and was sent
home by Cline's pretty double to left.
Powell then lifted the ball over the
right field lattice work. Jantzen put
the sphere over Murphy's head for a
couple of sacks, but was left there. The
other run was made in the eighth.
Pickett muffed Jantzen's fly, and by re-
covering the ball slowly allowed the
runner to take two bases Siebel'S hit

ANY Special Policemen and
Strikers Have Sized Up Its
Strength.
1t was rumored yesterday that the
city railway company had secured men
to run out cars at an early hour
this morning, and that a large num-
ber of special policemen had
been sworn in to man the
cars. Such rumors had been reported
at the strikers headquarters, but little
weight is given TO them by the ex-
ecutive committee. A member of the
committee stated last night that they be-
lieved they had definite knowledge Of
the number of drivers at the company'S
command, and that they would not run
over two cars. Even the two men on
the Graenbrier line, he said, had been
induced to leave, and would not take
out their cars again. A few men were
left at each barn by the strikers
to care for the horses and mules,
but they can not be induced to drive,
and will quit as soon as cars are taken
out by non-union men. They were in
formed that Timekeeper GLASS had Sc
cured seven recruits for the company
at a resort down town, who were SubSe-
Quently driven to the University avenue
barn. The committee at the barn sub
sequently talked with them at board
ing house, and they were induced not
to go to work.
NO SPECIAL. COMMISSIONS ISSUED.

regarding the rumOr that the company
had sworn in force of special police
men to assist in running their
street cars. 81 am not manag-

upon him of their demands for the re-
sumption of business ON the Greenbrier
avenue line.
The grievance Of the strikers and
their proposition to arbitrate the matter
with the company will be laid before

men from the strikers, President Cough

STRUCK BY A STRIKER.
Erie Switchmen Become Obstrep-

BUFFALO, N. Y. April 1.-THE
strikers were obstreperous to-day. This
evening a number of striking Erie
swltchmen entered the dining room of
the Fillmore house where ten or a dozen
scabs, who had taken their places, are
boarding and began to quarrel with the
men. One of the switchmen struck one
of the scabs, when the latter drew
pistol and was about to use it when
policeman interfered. Last night a
similar disturbance was made at an adj
joining hotel, where about forty scabs
were boarding. In that case no blows
were struck or arrests made, but some
OF the hotel employees were induced to go
out. The Scoopers' union held astormy
meeting to-day to see whether they
should strike or not upon the relnstate-
ment OF Boss Manley in the Niagara ele-
vator. The union was divided and
feeling ran so high that the police
cleared the hall. The crowd filled the
street below for four blocks. and was
only dispersed by the police charging on
them in a platoon with drawn clubs.
One arrest was made. 1t is anticipated
that this is only the beginning of more
serious trouble.
