Union. Subsequently, when it is ascertained,

valuable experience OF some one who has been
benefited and cured, that Hostetters Stomach

the malarial poison. and a means OF fortifying
the system against it, n feeling OF more secu-
rity and tranquility reigns throughout the

Of malafial disease. dumb ague and ague cake

Struck Rridgc Pier.

While attempting to run through the
spanj of the Union railroad bridge next
west Of the channel span, last evening
about 6 80 o'clock, with big tow Of coal,
the steamer Twilight swung her tow
against the west channel pier and left -four
or five barges hanging to the pier and ad-
iacent false work under the channel span.
Other boats, having five barges abreast,
went through all right, while the Twilight
had but four abreast, but the extreme
length OF her tow made 1t hard TO manage,
hence the accident.
About midnight last night, while the
Jim Wood was descending the river short
distance above the bridge, her rudder be-
came fouled in some way, necessitating
the abandonment Of the pilot house and
the steering of he boat from the engine
room. While proceeding under these diff
culties the tow struck one Of the barges
left by the Twilight early in the evening,
tearing the barge loose and sinking ii.
The jim Wood and her tow escaped with
little injury.

Tho Mems side OF the Question.

\ member Of the organization to which
the strikers belong was seen last evening,
and he said:
This thing is not properly a strike, but
lockout We hardly intended TO strike at
all at least not until we had had a confer
ence with the Company or its representa-
tives, and there had been failure TO agree.
Our letter. addressed 10 the Company, was
based upon this idea, and most of us mag
ined there would be no serious trouble.
The suspension Of operations on the road
came about in this way
"When Superintendent Lotus came
down 10 the stable yesterday afternoon, he
called up the operators and conductors OF
each car as it came in, and asked the men
if they would stick 10 the Company. AS
all the men belonged TO the organization,
they naturally said they would stick to the
side the men were on. Mr. Lotus then
said: All right; YOU can GO and in that
manner discharged the crews Of
five cars. OF course, this action on
his part soon came 10 the ears Of
the president of the organization to which
they all belong, and he at once ordered the
men out. Had Mr.. Lotus acted different
Is. there would have been no cessation in
the running Of cars, and if the men had
been accorded q conference upon their
statement Of grievances, there might have
been no strike at all, as they were willing
10 make proper and reasonable concessions
on their letter and come to an understand
Ing with the company
Last evening the employees held meet
ing Of their organization in Handlan's
Hall, about tifty-five men being present
The session lasted from ten o'clock in the
evening until after one o'clock this morn
Ing. After there had been full discussion
of the matter, il was decided unanimously
to stand by the action of the President Of
the organization in ordering the men TO
quit, after Mr. LOTUS had, as they said,
discharged five crews.
A committee Of three members of the
Trades Assembly was then appointed to
confer with the Company or its representa-
tiyes this morning, in regard TO securing
permission 10 confer with committee Of
the striking men, and in the hope that the
Company would agree to meet the men,
a committee of five from the employees was
appointed.
After the adjournment Of the meeting
one of the men said:
I'VE have good many grievances, and
one of them is the way we have to work for
nothing. Sometimes when we go to the
barn in the morning-aHd We have TO re
port about four o'cloclI-we will be
set TO shifting cars around and
getting them on the main track, and often
have TO work an hour at this. Then, when
we get our cars in shape, and ready to go
out, perhaps Mr.. Lotus will come up and
say. You don't 80 out to-day, and we have
to 90 back home, after going clear to the
barn. at that uneartbly hour, and doing Il
lot Of work for nothing. That happens to
some of the men about every day. Then.
