THE SCABS' SIDE.
Some OF Them Are Driven to 1t
by Starvation.


by Starv
While nearly all of the men who took
out cars were buns and toughs. there
were some exceptions, for among the
number few who improved the OPP
portunity Of earning a few dollars to
keep their families from starving. There
were but few decently dressed men in
the whole outfit. and every one looked
as though he had not had a square meal
for week.
My God" said one of the scabs, when
asked by a union man to leave the car,
II have not eaten anything for nearly
two days and | have got to do some
thing. L can't starve."
"Will you go with me to breakfast
and leave this car?''
You bet | will. Come on" and with
that the wretched specimen dropped the
reins and jumped off of the car, accom-
panied by the union man.
w. l. Smith, a ''Scab' conductor, who
was out with a car last Friday, went to
the Nineteenth avenue barn to take out
car. As he appeared on the barn
steps the crowd began to call him
''scab'' and other choice names.
Boys" said he, Il want to say few
words and explain my position. L have
wife and children to care for, ana my
wife is sick in bed, not so much from
sickness as from lack of food and
nourishment. Her mother is in the
house with her, and we really have not
got enough for meal OF victuaIs left.
My family is starving. and must have
money with which to buy them food. l
am in sympathy with you, but
1 cannot see my family starve before
nv eyes, That is WhV | am 'Scab,'
Il mortgaged my furniture for SO to
get food, but that money is all gone
now, and every day l expect them to
come and take the furniture away. Is
there man among you but who would
do the same thing under similar circum-
stances?'
The crowd began to sympathize with
the young fellow, and on his promising
to quit a purse was raised for him and
he was given permanent position i'll

Probably one of the brightest and most
largely attended social gatherings that
Minneapolis has had since the advent
of Lent was that given by the Y. NJ. c.
A. at their central rooms, last evening,
to the various Societies of Christian En-
deavor of the city. The reception COM
mittee of the association had taken
great pains to make the event note
worthy one. and the result was as per-
feet plans for enjoyment of the COM
pany as could be made in so small
rooms. During the evening the wish
was often repeated that the new build
ing was ready for such occasions.
Young people filled the rooms early in
the evening. and there were note less
than three hundred present during the
evening. A piano solo by Irwin Law
renee. vocal solo by Miss Fisher and a
recitation by Miss Wright were the
first selections for the entertainment of
the company. Mr.. Couch furnished a
flute solo, Miss StearnS and Miss Read
rendered several vocal solos and Mrs.
Hall gave a recitation. During the
greater part Of the evening the young
people entertained themselves socially.
as a party of young folks of kindred
spirits alone are able to do.
Herman Emil Zoch will give his
twenty-fourth piano recital at Harmonic
hall tomorrow evening. 1t is to be a

tour. The programme includes a Mozart
sonata, BeethOven'S thirty-two varia-
tiOns, pOlOnaise, nOcturne and waltz
by Chopin, and selections from Schu-
mann, Rheinberger. Reinecke and Ru-
binstein. 1t will give much pleasure to
musicians.

her clothing had caught fire, and she
was enveloped in flames. Bystanders

very little probability of her recovery.

AGAINST THE COMPANY.
Judge LochreD Gives a Decision
on Minor Court Items.

on Minor Court Items.
Judge Lochren gave a decision of
some interest yesterday in the case of
Rollin NJ. Douglass and Clifford d.
Beebe against the Barnhart Lumber
Company. 1t seems that the two gentle
men entered into contract to purchase
a considerable amount of real estate at
Duluth. the selling price being $4,000.
and they paid LOCO down as the first
payment OH the price. Later it turned
out that the lumber company was I'M
able 20 furnish clear title to the proD-
erty. The plaintiffs brought action for
the $1,000 paid down, for 500 attorneys
fee. and in addition to this for some
$1,000, the complaint stating that if the
defendants had performed their agree
ment and executed to them a good title.
the lands would have been of greater
value than $4,000, namely, of the value
$4,000 In all the sum asked for was
$4,000. Judge LOchren'S decision was
that the plaintiffs were entitled to 81 600:
that as the defendants never had anv
title to those blocks which it contracted
to sell and convey by warranty deed to
plaintiffs, and that there is on that
account due $1,000.

TRANSFORMING WITH BOOTH.
An Amusing Experience the Actor
Once III adj in a Virginia Town.

Baltimore American.
A story is told of Edwin Booths eX-
perience that is good enough to be true.
Once, during the days of his early
struggles, Booth was ''barnstorming''
down in Virginia. at place called Lees
Landing. The imprOvised theater was
tobacco warehouse, and il was crowded
by the planters for miles around. Booth
and his companions had arranged to
take the weekly steamer expected to
call late at night, and between the acts
were busy packing up. The play was
the Merchant of Venice" and they
were just going on for the trial scene,
when they heard whistle, and the
! manager came running in to say that
the steamer had arrived and would
leave again in ten minutes. AS that
was their only chance for week of
getting away. they were in a terrible
quandary. The narrative proceeds:
IF we explain Matters" said the
manager, they will think they are be-
ing cheated and we shall have a free
fight. The only thing is for you fell
lows to get up some sort of a natural
like impromptu ending of the piece and
ring down the curtain. Go right ahead,
ladies and gentlemen, and take your
cue from Ned here" and he hurried
away to get the luggage aboard. Ned,
of course, was BaSSanlO, and he resolved
to rely on the ignorance of the Virgin
ians of those days to pull him through all
right. So, when ola Georgia Ruggles,
who was doing Shylock, began to
sharpen his knife on his boot, Booth
walked straight up to him and solemnly
said: ''You are bound to have your
pound of flesh. are you?" ''You bet
your lifer' said Ruggles.'
Now, I'll make you one more Offer"
continued Booth; lin addition to this
big bag of ducats, Eli throw in two kegs
of niggerhead terback, shotgun and
two of the best coon dogs in the state"

WANTS THE MILITIA.
Gov. Merriam Asked to Give MIR.
Mr.. Lowry the Command.

That Thomas Lowry intends to win
this strike if such thing be possible, is
being demonstrated every hour. He
and his associates are straining every
nerve to win in the struggle, and if he
does not win it will not be his fault
Yesterday Mr.. Lowry went to
st. Paul and held a conference
with Gov. Merriam. During this
conference Mr.. Lowry asked that
the militia be called out to enable him
to run his cars, and that he be given
command of the companies. This the
governor would not consent to, stating
that there was no use in calling out the
militia. He gave Mr.. Lowry to under
stand that if the police could not control
the city, it was the duty of the sheriff to
step in, and then if he and his force
failed to keep peace and quiet. it would
only remain to call out the military
companies to protect the company's
property.

men had not violated the contract, and
said he could prove it. Mr.. Lowry rel
marked that he was certain that the
men had violated it, but added:
''If you can demonstrate that, [ will
reinState every man now out, pay them
for the time they have lost and keep
them at work until the expiration of the
contract, May Is, if it breaks the COM
pany."
Every good, Mr.. Lowry; that's fair,
returned Mr.. McGaughey; Il think l
can show that very thing"
Mr. McGaughey then withdrew and
hunted up the men whom it is charged
broke the contract. AT o'clock the
conference was resumed, each side
being armed with testimony. The evil
dence had chiefly to do with the motor
strike in February. 1t was shown that
on that occasion the motor con-
ductors violated the terms of the
contract. The engineers, being
brotherhood and not union men, were not
parties to the contract, but the conduc-
tors were. Mr.. Lowry held that it was
proved beyond cavll that the conduc-
tors aided and abetted in that strike,
and that they went so far as to visit the
Fourth avenue car barn in an attempt
to get the men there to strike in SYM
poliy. w ueu IueSc 1dCtS CdihO ouo Cuo
committee withdrew, acknowledging
their failure to make out case. And
so the attempt at settlement by the
terms of the contract fell through.
The attempt to effect settlement
has been abandoned,' SAID Mr.. Nc
Gaughey,, after the conference, for the
reason that Mr.. Lowry has convinced
me that the contract has been technical
ly violated by some OF the men. l have
not abandoned the cause by any means,
as was stated in an evening paper. l
still advise the men not to accept the
reduction nor sign the iron-clad agree
ment."
All the members of the car employees
union deny most emphatically that the
contract was ever broken in any way,
shape or manner by them, and chal-
lenge any one to show that it was.

100000 BARRELS.
The Flour Output the Heaviest
Since November.

Since November.
The Northwestern Miller to-day will
say: The flour output last week was
the heaviest since November, fourteen
mills out of the twenty-five contributing
to this result. The aggregate produc-
ton for the week was 100000 barrels
averaging 1880 barrels daily-against
SIS, $50 barrels the week before. and 169,-
200 barrels for the corresponding time in
1888. There were thirteen mills again
In operation to-day, two or three having
dropped out of the operative list, while
about an equal number had resumed
work. To-day the output for the week
gives promise of reaching 100. 900 barrels
or over, the water power being very
good. Fluctuations in wheat values have
had depressing influence on the flour
trade, and prices are 20 to roc per barrel
lower. There is great lack of conf
dence among buyers. and they appear
to be unwilling to make purchases at
any price, excepting as they are abso-
lutely forced to do so. Nevertheless,
some mills report moderate sales, with
the demand rather on the increase.

NO MOTORS.
Hard Work to Find Men Compe-

No attempt was made to start the
motor during the day, it being con-
sidered that such an attempt could only
be attended by evil results. so long as
the entire police was occupied in pro-
tecting the drivers and conductors on
the few cars which were running. It is
not at all likely that any trains will be
experienced by the company getting
men competent to run trains, and it is
generally believed that there are not
now more than five men who are ready
to take out trains.
