A GREAT TIE-UP,
Twenty Street Car Lines i'm New
York Stop Running.
Scenes Of Disorder Followed By
Many Broken Heads.

A desperate industrial struggle was in
augurated in New York few days since,
with something Ike 1000 men on one side and
a dozen powerful corporations on the other
The announcement that this contest was
about to begin came like a thunderbolt on
the latter, who were i'll prepared for it,
With few exceptions all the men employed
on twenty leading streeG-car lines ceased
work and declared their determination not
to resume until their employers meet their
representatives and agree to remedy their
grievances, which they said we're too CALLING
to be borne.
The railroad corporations at once put on a.
bold front, declaring that they would never
submit to the dictaton of their employees,
The struggle began before daybreak
As early as three o'clock in the morning
committees were sent to every depot and
they took stand near by. AS each car
came along the drivers and conductors
were notified that the tie-up was be-
gun. They remained around until day
break to tell the early men who had finished
work the night before. When they appeared
they learned the news. According to re-
ports they accepted the situation cheerfulIy
The day was a stirring one and was
marked by scenes of violence and
wild disorder. lFf.v thousand men we're
on the streets at one time or another and
they were apparently against the
companies, for they Joined with zest and even
desperation in the attacks upon the cars, the
non-unionists and the police. These on
slaughts, fortunately, did not result seriously
except in one case
There were frequent collisions with the
police. Only fifteen cars were placed on the
streets by the tied-up companies, and these
were manned, guarded and occupied by blue
coats, locusts and revOlvers in hand. Some
Of the cars were overturned. Many strikers
heads were broken. Others were arrested
and fined or held for trial
The inconvenience and delay caused by the
lack Of transportation facilities probably cost
the city thousands of dollars.
The State Board of Arbitration opened an
investigation into the trouble. The Railroad
Presidents refused to attend or notice it.
In Brooklyn there was a similar state of
affairs. The strikers were determined, and
succeeded in preventing single car from
running. The police protection seemed
inadequate to cope with the strikers, and it
was thought the military might have to be
called out to quell disturbances.

The Connecticut Mutual Life Swim
died by an Agent.

Captain Jacob L. Greene, President of the
Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, of Hartford, has issued circular in
forming the policyholders that Joseph A.
Moore, for sixteen years financial CORE
spondent of the company at Indianapolis,
Ind, is a defaulter to the amount of $780,
600, but has restored property which may
reduce the actual loss to $40O, 900.
MOOre'S crooked work has been going on
for a long while He not only appropriated
money intrusted to him as the agent of the
company for the payment Of interest and
principal on loans made, but also the rents
collected by him for the company.

the Connecticut Mutuars investments in
Indiana, which amounted in the aggre

Judgment In the days of real estate excite
ment,. when money came easily and w6s in
great demand at a high rate of interest," the
Connecticut Mutual made many loans in
Indianapolis, and when the panic of 1873
struck the inflated city, the depreciation in
values left upon the hands of the company
much property upon which it was necessary
to fOreclOSe mortgages.
President Greene, of the Insurance Com
pany, speaking on the subject, said:
This steal consists of three PARASITIC
principal of loans paid to him by borrowers
to be RENTED to the company, interest paid
to him for the same purpose, and rents col
lected by him on real estate in his care.
HE was selected for the position in 1873
by the late Major James Goodwin, then
President of the company, and had the entire
confidence of the officers and directors. The
rents taken are comparatively small item
and could be easily concealed by misrepre-
sentation to short time, verbal leases, etc.

Mr. Moore was born in Madison, Ind, and
is son of a banker who was largerly inter-
ested in the branch Of the old State Bank Of
Indiana, located at that place.

daughter in question grieved for a long time
over the unhappy ending of her engagement.
An air of probability is given to this ro-
mantle little story by the fact that Mr.. VOL
colt is still bachelor.
In Denver Mr.. Wolcott began the practice
of law with more success than he had met
with in Chicago He soon became known as

tablished and it was not long bsfore he had
as much business as he could handle
Later on he confined bis energies
to railroad cases, and in time was retained
by the Denver and Rio Grande and the Bur-
lington Railroad companies at salaries aggre-
eating $50, 900 year. He still receives these
two salaries, in addition to large fees earned
in miscellaneous cases His income is said
to be larger than that ofany other lawyer in
