STRIKE ON THE B. & 0.
YARDMEN SUDDENLY WALK AWAY FROM
THEIR TRAINS.

Trouble Over an Office Used as a Lunch
Room-Three Arrested and One Fined
Road Tied Up Between This City and
ConnellsviIle.
A strike occurred on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad last evening that resulted in
blocking theroad between the city and Glen
wood. The men did not wait to go through
the course prescribed by the Switchmens'
Aid Association before entering into strikes,
but simply walked away, leaving their cars
on the main tracks and sidings. The cause
of the trouble is best explained in the fol-
lowing special telegram from Braddock, re-
ceived last night:
A short time ago a new yard master was
placed in charge of affairs at Glen
wood, and at the outset seems to have
received the i'll will of every man under him.
that his office had been broken open and a
number of lanterns taken from the place,
and his desk smashed. He immedi-
ately had three brakemen arrested for
the alleged burglary. The men arrested were
members of the Brotherhood of Brakemen.
and Immediately that organization held meet
ing and resolved to demand the release of the
men, and their reinstatement. This DIETRICH
refused to dc, but off cred to have the men
tried before tribunal composed of railroad
men. The brakemen refused this compromise
and struck.
No other work was done to-day, nor have any
freight trains gone out over either the Wheel
ing or Connellsville divisions. This evening
the engineers held a meeting at the house of
one of their number to discuss the situation.
Nothing however could be learned of the re-
suits, as none of the men would talk. Affairs
look ominous, and a general strike is not 1m-
probable. 1t is asserted by some OF the officials
that the men are merely making the Dietrich
affair pretense for a strike, as some of the
men have been dissatified with their wages.
Passenger traffic is not affected.
The three men. arrested for breaking open
Dietrich's Office were John Weiman, p. Nc
Gill and George Fisher. They had hear
ing yesterday before Magistrate Gripp,
where McGill was fined SO and costs.
The latest Information that could be OBJ
tanned around the Baltimore and Ohio depot
was to the effect that 81 day men had been
paid their wages, and the company was look
ing for new men. None of the night men
went on duty. The side tracks between
Pittsburg and Connellsville are filled with
through freight. Most of the freight was
from Philadelphia and Baltimore, bound for
Western points.
Detective Sheppard sought police protec.
tion yesterday evening, and a number oil
officers took charge of the yards at Glen
wood. The men say this was entirely un-
necessary as they wilt stay away from the
company's property until the difficulty is
settled. The whole number of employees af.
fected will not exceed 200, but the stand
they have taken seems to indicate 6rmness
that will be hard Tor the company to shake.
The company's officials say the grievance
is based upon prejudice, and as the strike
has been precipitated irregularly they dc
not feav the results, as the strikers cannot
expect the support of their association.

.sPAcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
COLUMBUS, Dec. 5.-Thers was an i'm
portant conference to-day at the Office of the
United Mine Workers in this city. Vice
President Turner, who has been managing
the strike at Irwin, Pa, was in consultation
with President Rae, Secretary Watchorn
and senior member of the Executive Board,
Patrick McBryde. 1t was unanimously de-
cided to continue the strike until the Penn
Gas Coal Company and Westmoreland Coal
Company pay the prices for mining asked
by the miners. The organization decided
/ to stand firm. so long :as there is a cent
available to support the strikers.
Vice President Turner says the two coal
companies estimate their loss since the
strike was inaugurated on May at 81, 0O0,-
000 The companies operate seven mines,
the output of which before the strike was
1000 tons day. The number of men then
employed was 2,700. Now the companies
are employing only LOO men, and are
mining ], 300 tons OF coal day. President
Rae says all the coal which the companies
have mined since the beginning of the
trouble has cost So ton. The miners asked
on paying 60 cents. Vice President Turner
will return to Irwin tomorrow, prepared to
encourage the strikers. The officers of the
United Miners feel confident of ultimate
victory.
Word was received from Alabama that
six mines in that State had agreed to pay
the scale of prices and that 1000 of the
5000 men out on a strike would return to
work

STRANGLED TO DEATH.
LEWIS WATSON, A coLoRED GEORGIA
MURDERER, SLOWLY EXECUTED.

The Victim of the Law Works Himself Into
Dropped to Eternitv-Strange Scenes At
tending the Hanging.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcHl
ALBANY. GA, Dec. 5-Two thousand
persons witnessed the execution of Lewis
Watson, colored, at Isabella, to-day. On
September 21, at about dusk, ne wsylaid
Jack Curry as he neared his house, shot
him and fled. Curry drew his piotol, and,
firing at Watson, hit him in the back as he
ran. He was convicted two weeks after the
murder. He confessed the crime.
At 10:45 o'clock this morning the process
sion started from the Jail. In two-horse
wagon was Watson, sitting upon his coffin.
accompanied by Sheriff Cox and Dep
uty Sheriff Nelson. Following in
double file came 18 guards, armed
with Winchester rifles. They proceeded
about half mile, to where the gallows had
been erected, in thecenter of a large natural
amphitheater. Amid silence, Watson was
conducted upon the gallows, from which he
gave an incoherent address for half an hour,
in which he said that the Lord had forgiven
him. He warned his hea ers against hasty
actions and not to put their trust in anyone.
He singled out negro in the crowd, and
said that he was talking to him. Watson
was then brought down to the ground and
his spiritual adviser, the Rev. Jordan Mer-
ritt. colored, offered up prayer. The negro
joined with fervor. A. rope had been
stretched around the gallows. within which
were the officers, guards and reporters. The
condemned murderer gave a last goodby to
his friends He was wrought up into a
religious frenzy before he finished and his
cries were suffused with tears.
He was again conducted to the gallows,
his hands fastened behind him, his feet tied
together. The moose was slipped over his
neck and the black cap placed upon his
head. He cried out to the as
sembled multitude to meet him in
heaven. At 1890 o'clock Sheriff Cox sprung
the trap and Watsons body shot down 51l
feet. There were several conyulsive strug-
giles, at the first OF which he drew up his
hands and feet with terrible strength. A
minute after he fell. He died from strangu-
Iation, and life was declared extinct in 80
minutes.

CUT HIS OWN TONGUE OUT.
Strange Self-Mutilatfon of an Apparently
Sane Unknown Man.

Strange Standardization of an Apparently
Sane Unknown Man.
Los ANGELES, Cal. >. Dec. 5.-A strange
case oil seli-mutilation came to light to-day,
in which man who is not suspected of in
sanity cut his tongue out with razor. The
act was committed on Sunday morn
ing in a boarding house on Broadway,
where the stranger, who gave the name of
Wilson but refused to give his initials, took
a room three weeks ago. During his stay
he lived on bread and water,' although he
was known to have had plenty of money. On
Sunday, for the first time since his arrival,
he rang his bell, and the landlady, in re-
spending, found on the outside of his door
a newspaper. on the margin of which had
been scribbled: "Sent for surgeon to stop
the bleeding" On the room being entered
the Iodger was found bending over wash
basin with blood pouring from his mouth.
He was perfectly calm and was attempting
to stop the hemorrhage with wet handker-
chief. A bloody razor lay on tie bed and
spots of blood were on the carpet.
A doctor was called, and the mans in
juries were dressed. He stood the painful
ordeal with wonderful nerve, for while the
flesh quivered under the surgeons needle,
the man himself gave no indication OF suf-
fering. The severed portion of the tongue
had been thrown away by the man, whose
every act showed the utmost deliberation.

SUCCESSFUL TRIALS
OF DR.. Koch's Great Discovery Made
by American Physicians.
THREE PERSONS BEING TREATED,
And the Results in Each Instance Are
Highly Satisfactory.
GROWING INTEREST IN THE METHOD

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
NEW HAVEN, Dec. 5.-The interest in
lymph which has been created by the receipt
of the wonderful cure in this citv. and the
treatment of three patients by DIR. Foster,
increases every day. The physicians who
have charge of the different cases are be-
sieged daily with callers, anxious to learn
the details of the experiments. Not only
are the people in general interested, but
many physicians living in towns adjacent to
the city have made a special trip here to
learn something of the new elixir.
The three patients under treatment are
progressing finely. especially the gentleman
who was first treated. The first experiment
has given good grounds, so the doctors state,
to believe that the lymph will accomplish
all that is claimed for it. AS regards the
two patients inoculated this afternoon, suf-
ficient time has not elapsed to form any
definite opinions, but in each of these cases
the symptoms as previously described were
apparent The two latest cases were much
improved to-day. The first case expert
mented upon has reached more
marked state of improvement simply
because it has had longer time of de-
velopment. There has been stead v improve
ment in this case and the patient shows ev-
cry evidence of a continued gain toward re-
covery. There has been no evidence of re-
lapse, the effects of the medicine being still
apparent and continuing the good work that
commenced after the frsH inoculation. The
two cases treated to-day were entirely dit
ferent from the first case, and it is hardly
expected that the effect of the lymph will be
the same.
DIR. Francis Bacon, who provided the case
of lupus for treatment, describes the effects
of the lymph on the patient in much the
same manner as it has already been re-
ported in description bv Dr. Koch. DIR.
Henry L. Swain also speaks of the case oi
laryngitis in about the same way pro-
fessionally as it has been treated heretofore.
All physicians connected with the cases are
somewhat reticent in regard to the matter,
but the slightest changes are noted and
extensive notes made of the condition oi
patients during every hour of the day and
night. One of the patients is G. NJ.
Bradley, OF North Haven, and the others
are though. to be G. A. Lucas, an employe
at the Winchester Arms Company, and S.
+. Bradley, merchant.

rFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The sensation of
the day at the Capitol was the declaration
of Representative Sweeney, of the Fourth
Iowa district, and, by the way, a native of
Warren county, Pa, that certain DEM
ocratic Senators had, several hours before
the massage of the resolution of condemna-
ton. telegraphed to Democratic leaders in
the convention Of the Farmers Alliance, in
session at Ocala, theircommaud that the con-
vention should declare against the elections
bill. This, if true, would be such direct
,,roof that the Democratic leaders were run
ming the Alliance through its leaders, that
il was prophesied that it would lead at once
TO the disruption Of the Alliance, and the
desire was great to discover the identity of
the Senators and the evidence on which Mr..
Sweeney's charge rested. That gentleman
said that the proper place to diyulge his in
formation would be before committee of
Investigation.

NO ACTION TAKEN

BY the Senate Caucus Committee on q
Change of the Rules.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The Republican
Senatorial Caucus Committee was to-day
in session for some time, considering the
subject of cloture rule. The deliberations
of the committee were confined to a discus
sion of the question as to when the rules
should be presented to the Senate.
In view of the fact that no obstructive
purpose had yet been shown by the minority
and that certain prominent Democratic
Senators had assured members of the COM
mittee that the elections bill would be
allowed to proceed to final determination,
the caucus committee refrained from taking
any action at present.
