ran after the car, but finding that toe
much work got into wagon and rode
till the car was overtaken, when he again
tried to get on it. Policeman Cummins

Letting advertisements for the pro
gramme of picnic to be given for the

He is said to be plausible individual
and the appeals which he makes in be-

ficing firemen are declared to be quite
pathetic and eloquent. It was said at
Fire Headquarters this morning that no
one had any authority to organize a pic

blonde mustached stranger was unknown
there.
1t would be well for all citizens to re-
fuse to patronize any picnic schemes just
now until they have entirely satisfied
themselves that the solicitor has author

advocates.

from time immemorial. The Erie grain

CHICAGO STRIKES.
The Carpenters still Determined and Con-
fdent-Building Owners Restless-Cigar
Makers Trouble.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, april l0.-The carpen-
ters' strike is still on hand, and the men
continue confident of success. Owners
of large buildings which are nearing
completion are growing FESTIVE at the
delay, fearing large loss in rentals,
which generally begin on the 1st of May
They threaten to put the contracts into
other hands unless the work . resumed
speedily. On the strength Of this
there is movement on foot
by some Of the members of
the Master Carpenters association
to dissolve that body and allow its in
dividual members to make whatever
terms they see fit in regard to recognize
ing the union. This, they claim, is the
only way out Of it, since as a body they
decline the recognition of the union. In
fluential members of the association q,
however, are opposed to taking this ac-
ton.
One hundred cigar employees, en-
ployed in the Columbia cigar factory
joined the fifty bunch makers who struck
yesterday. They will all probably join
the union. The proprietor has adver-
tised for non-union men to fill the strik-
ers' places.

by City Officials.

CHICAGO, ILL, April 10.-The Daily
News, which supported Mayor CreSier
in his candidacy, devotes an entire page
this morning to an expose of gambling in
this city which, it says, is going on more
openly and more generally than ever be-
fore. It says the discipline of the entire
police force is relaxed, that its members
instead of being oonservators of the
peace and morality have become pro-
motors of immortality and protectors of
crime. It estimates that the receipts of
gambling houses in the city aggrega to
$40, 900 900 per year. 1t ayers that a
syndicate of gamblers controls all of
these houses: that Mike Mcdonald is the
head of It, aud receives 60 per cent. of
the receipts for keeping the police from
making raids; that if the money is not
paid in any instance the police proceed
to raid the house of the delinquent until
he succumbs. Out of this go per cent.
It is assumed sum estimated as high as
$500 900 per annum is paid to members
of the administration for immunity from
police interference.

TO RELIEVE ALL EUROPE .
Stanley at Brindisi.

BRINDIsI, April 10.-Henry NJ. Stanley
has arrived here from Cairo en- route to
Brussels.
Mr.. Stanley was interviewed on his ar
rival here. Speaking of Emin Pasha,
Mr.. Stanley said he did not believe he
would attempt to soour the royal pro-
vince. An immense effort, declared be,
would be necessary to eject the Mahdists,
who have never run the province.
With reference to the claims made
by the Germans to the territory
in Africa, Mr.. Stanley said he
was astonished at their pretensions.
They apparently claimed the whole of the
country The Germans, he said, could
secure the services of Tippoo lib if they
paid him the price he demanded.
Under much pressure Mr.. Stanley
stated an important fact which he had
intended to mention solely in his forth
coming book, and that was that the
Aruwhimi forest which belongs to Congo
free state, was enormously richer in
everything, especially in rubber trees,
than the Amazon g forests. Sections of
Africa, he declared, would be the lum-
Der reservoir of the universe.
King Humbert and Prime Minister
Crispi telegraphed a message of welcome
to Mr.. Stanley.

fact, that some of his friends express the
belief that he will recover.
The district criminal court docket is
shorter this term in Waco than for years.
1t will be taken up May 10.
Complaint was made to-day against q
negro woman, Pearl Jones, charging her
with disinterring the remains OF
child in the First Street
cemetery. The child was buried in
a tomb with a stone above the face. the
removal of which would reveal the
corpse. It is charged that this woman
removed the stone, which was held in
place by cement, and with stick moved
the head Of the remains, breaking off the
under jaw. 1t is not thought the case
ii a bad one against the woman,
owing to the fact that the remains were
not removed, but it is thought a lesson
will D. taught that will have a whole
some effect upon other meddlesOme Wis
itors to the cemetery. The First street
cemetery has been sadly neglected, and
the trial of this case may

of which will induce the city council to

iadIes in the city. This association has
had proposition before the council for
some time asking that tine cemetery be
decided to them upon condition that they

In Spite Of ChieagO's Board of Trade the
Quotations Get Out
Special to the Gazette.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, April I0.-A few days
ago all the large offices in and near the
board of trade building were requested
to discontinue the posting of prices On
change on their private black boards
because it was supposed they were stolen
by messengers from the bucket shops.
The requests were cheerfully complied
with. aud the offices depended entirely on
reports brought by messengers. These
were necessary to enable the firms
to advise their customers as 10 the
price charged and were not given
to others. This morning the board Off
Gals ordered Schwartz, DUpee s. Co.'S.
messengers off the floor on suspicion that
they were furnishing the bucket shops
with figures. On receiving notice of this
Mr.. Schwartz ordered the restoration OF
quotations on his blackboards, and they
are regularly posted. The firm say that
they have no desire to violate either the
letter or spirit of the rules of the board,
never having any connection with or
sympathy for the bucket shops, but they
decline to accept dictation from the
board as to how they shall conduct their
business. and while they will not allow
the blackboard quotations to be copied
they will post them unless an apology is
offered for the imputation that they were
assisting the bucket shops. IL they con-
tinue to post other houses will resume
the practice.
