The New York Central Strike.

One of the members of the New York
state board of mediation and arbitration
was asked day or two ago whether or not
the strike on the New York Central and
Hudson River railroads was ended 1t is
reported that he smiled very significantly
and answered that although the Knights of
Labor had not declared the strike off, it
was about as completely ended as it was
possible for it to be.
The fact is the strike was failure from
the very beginning. The great majority of
the knights employed on the two Wander
bilt roads did not approve it, and those who
took part in the strike did so at the COM
mand of their leaders, and not because thcy
felt they had a grievance.
The investigation that has thus far been
made by the state board of arbitration is by
no means favorable to the leaders of the
knights. The strike was ordered because q
number Of employees who are knights had
been discharged. The evidence goes to show
that most, il not all, of them were dis
charged because they failed to give salts
faction In some respect. There has been a
total failure to show they were discharged
One of those discharged Is Master Work
man Lee He it was who ordered the strike.
He was vehement in hts assertion that there
was no cause for his discharge, and yet the
testimony before the board of arbitration
was that he had said to the superintendent
Of the Vanderbilt roads, that the Wander
bilts were putting too much water in their
stocks, and that he proposed to have some
Of their money. 1t is not exactly clear
what he meant, but there is no doubt that
he is an agItator of small mental caliber,
and is disposed to make trouble wherever
he may be. There was certainly good cause
for discharging him.
Powderly comes out of the strike with a
pretty badly battered reputation. He was
thought to be an honest and level-headed
leader. He may be that. but there are few
now who believe he Is. His correspondent ce
with Master Workman Lee, which found
its way somehow into print, shows him to
be wholly unworthy of the confidence
that has been placed in him, or else an ex-
tremely dangerous man to occupy such a
position of responsibility and power as he
does He cooliy talked about schemes for
tying up all the railroads in the country in
1892, the Presidential year. and 1898, the
worlds fair year, with the view of
giving employees full control of the roads.
Honest knights, men who want to do only
what is right, must regard these utter
ances of Mr. Powderly with feelings akin
to alarm, because they suggest condition
of affairs that borders on anarchy. Mr..
Povderly has lost the position in the esti-
nation of the people he once held, and he
can never regain it. The sooner the
knights depose him from the leadership,
the better it will be for their interests.

The shot that Representative Kennedy
fired at Senator Quay, not only hit tbs

have disturbed the entire republican camp,
judging from the commotion caused among

any that the democrats have fired at the
republicans, and probably did more damage

The Marquis de Leuville has great deal
of trouble on account of the gentle and
beautiful Mrs. Leslie. 1t is said that he
went from London to Boulogne to fight a
duel with a reporter of French paper last
Thursday. The reporter called on the
marquis and insisted on knowing all about
his affair with Mrs Leslie, and when the
marquis refused to be questioned the re-
porter used very abusive language to him.
Dueling is to be condemned. but it is prob
able that the world would not grieye a
great deal If the one the marquis and the re-
porter have arranged should end fatally 70

a Crazy Woman's Work

st. Louis is just now being treated to a
religious sensation. Mrs. Maria b. Wood
worth, noted evangelist. has pitched her
teht ON q prominent avenue in the city and
is working wonders in the way of making
converts. Her meetings are attended by
thousands, and during her services hun
dreds become entranced and fall about on
the ground in an unconscious condition,
They are totally oblivious to the surround
ings, their pulses are 80 faint that they can
not be felt, and their flesh is cold aud
clammy.
1t is said that the victims, lying in these
frances, present all the ghastliness of DEATH
While they receive the attention of the
cooler converts, others run about over the
tent shouting and praying and throwing
their hands up over their heads in way
that is almost terrifying.
These services within the last two weeks
caused so much excitement that two
eminent physicians, experts in insanity and
neurology, were attracted to the tent,
After viewing the scenes there they ques-
toned the woman evangelist, and they de-
clare that she is insane With strong hypno-
attic powers. They believe that she is
dangerous. Not only will the nervous pros
trations injure the health of the converts,
bnt the physicians apprehend that the
injuries they receive will be hereditary
Whether Mrs. Woodworth's religion is
honest or not, does not appear to
be a consideration with the ST. Louis
people. They have joined in petition tc
the mayor to put a stop to the woman's
work, and the chances are that she will have
to seek other fields. 1t may be enough tc
state that Mrs. Woodwork is the same per.
son who created so much excitement al
over the country while in Oakland, Cal, by
prophesying great earthquakes and tida
waves which would destroy the large cities

Jimmy Hogan / one of the toughest young
men in Williamsburg, says the Pittsburg
Leader He is an amateur scrappar and was
spelling for fight. So when he called Patrick 8
attention to the quiet looking stranger who had
meekly walked into the Bowery saloon late
Thursday night the latter scented sport. Hence
his advice to his friend to see whether the
stranger would fight
Hogan walked coolly past the stranger who
was leaning awkwardly against the bar, watce-
ing party playing cards at one of the tables
He brushed against him, aud finally pushed him
rather rudely aside The meek looking stranger

"Hc won't fight" Sullivan whispered to Ho-
gan few minutes later Hit him harder?''
By this time several others were interested
in the matter and We're intently watching the
outcome. Hogan walked past the stranger and
mt him terrific punch in the side. He was
sorry for it afterward.
Without word the stranger shot out his left
hand caught Mr.. Hogan under the ear and
knocked him in a heap. The young man
wanted a fight and he had it. The opening was
not propitious, but Hogan had grit He came
to time in good shape and started in He didn't
get far The stranger eemed to use both hands
and feet at the same time. The way in which
ne used up the would-be pugilis. was a surprise
to all.
Three times Hogan went down and then the
the men clinched. When the bartender rushed
out to stop the row his services were not needed
The stranger had picked up Hogan, dropped
him, then picked him up again and hurled him
into the street.
Friends took him home and reported last
night that he would be out Of tho house next
