BROOKLYN WALKING is BAD.
Deacon Richardson's Car Lines Disabled
by "A Big Strike.

BROOKLYN, NY, Nov. 19.-Presidcnt Rich
ardson's surface car line system, comprising
the Atlantic, 5th, Vanderbilt, 9th and Park
avenues and Bergen street routes were tied up
this morning, the conductors and drivers going
on strike. A strike occurred on this system
about a year ago, which resulted in the COM
pany engaging non-union men. These EN-
ployes have since then become members of the
local Knights of Labor. During last week SIX
men were discharged. No charges were mado
against them, but il is said that they were
discharged because they refused to sever their
connection with the labor organization. Prcsi-
dent Richardson refused TO take them back and
the result is the tie up. The company sue
ceeded in getting one 10 the Fulton ferry
about y O'Clock. The streets through which
the cars go are protected by extra policemen.
but no trouble is feared the men are quiet
and most of them are assembled in their meet
ing room.

LINDSEY ENGLiSH'S DEATH,
Reports Concerning 1t Lead the COrO-
ner to Make an Autopsy.

This morning Coroner Patterson held an
autopsy on the body of Mr.. Lindsey English,
who died last Sunday morning at his late resi-
dence. No. 932 street northwest The exami-
nation proved that Mr.. English died from
apoplexy, which came on SO gradually that he
became unconscious only by degrees 1t was con-
sidered at first that the circumstances of his
death were rather suspicious, as the police
were informed that for some time past he had
had a number of serious quarrels with the
woman who for the past year or more has been
living with him as his wife.
Yesterday Lieut.. Amiss of the first precinct
station took this woman Joanna Becker, or as
she has lately been called Ida English, into Gus
tOdy on suspicion. As result of the autopsy
the woman was released from custody this
afternoon. MIR. English came here from
Springfield, Illinois, where he was clerk
of the circuit court, and for the last
four years had been assistant super
intendent in the clerks document room at the
Capitol He was q cousin Of the late Mr.. VIM.
II. English. He was thirty-four years old and
had no family.

WHAT THEY WANT.

1t is raining hard. and this, no doubt, keeps
most of the strikers off the streets BY 10
O'Clock seven or eight cars were running. Two
policemen rode on each car, and ON Atlantic
avenue a mounted officer galloped behind each
car. The strikers say they want the following
terms: The reinstatement of the discharged
men, pay of Sl50 a day for ''trippers," who
now get Sl.14 day, and the abolition of tho
trip record orscore-card system, which requires
conductors to keep an account showing where
passengers get on. The strikers make no
demonstration further than TO gather at the
stables and in little knots along the route of
the car tracks.

Begging for Work

It is not vary often that men beg for
work, but that is what the convictes in the
New York penitentiaries are doing. Idle
ness is driving them mad. Since last DC
tober seven have been sent to the insane
asylum from the Sing Sing prison, and the
keeper Of the prison says that great many
Of the convicts are in a very unhealthy
mental condition. He gets notes by the
hundred from them begging him to give
them something TO do, and he says that if
their request is not complied with the
prison, in all probability, will become an
insane asylum.
The idleness Of the convicts is due TO the
persistent demands of the labor organiza-
lions that convict labor shall not be brought
| into competition with free labor, and vet
it is about impossible to keep convicts en-
ployed without such competition. There is
nothing they could do inside the prison
walls to which one labor organization or
another would not object
1t is certainly cruel to keep men confined
in idleness They suffer physically as well
as mentally, and when they have
served their terms they are totally unfit to
| work which convicts do, when they are
employed, perceptibly lowers the wages Of
workingmen. Working men think it does,
however, and to please them the politicians
are ready to do whatever they want done
because they have ballots.
A protest against the employment of con-
victs was sent to the last session of the legis-
lature Of this state. No action has been
taken on it because it presents a problem
which the legislature does not know,
apparently, how TO solve. Although the
leasing system is very Objectionable one,
it is quite safe to say that the convicts pre-
fer it to being idle Perhaps some brainy
man will come forward in the near future
with plan for the employment of con-
victs to which workingmen will have no
objection. At present, however. the best
plan for their employment that has yet
been suggested is that Of utilizing them in
making public improvements in the differ
ent counties.

Miss Helen Buttrock, an American girl
who was studying music in Berlin,
committed suicide the other day. The story
of the unfortunate affair, as cabled to this
country, is as follows: Lately Miss Butt
rock fell behind in her studies, and one of
the teachers reproached her very severely
for it. Being quite sensitive, she felt the
rebuke keenly, and told some of her friends
that it was an unnecessarily harsh one. A
few days later she disappeared from the
academy, and search resulted in the find
ing of her body in the river Spree. She
was from Milford, n. II.
