me letter on that or any other subject,
it will be promptly answered. 1t ought

been declared in print and otherwise
hundreds of times" Mr.. Arthur spoke
with great deliberation, and apparently
endeavored to conceal any feeling, one
way or the other, he may have in regard
to the strike and the course of the en-
gineerS in regard thereto. But. in spite
of this, it was not difficult to see from
his manner that Mr.. Powderly need
not look for much aid or comfort
from the chief of the brotherhood.
Continuing Mr.. Arthur said: "You may

Firemen's Narrow Escape.

There was narrow escape last night
by No. hook and ladder truck from a
repetition of the experience which so
nearly resulted in the death of sew
eral members of the company
year ago. An alarm of fire had
been rung in from Fairfield avenue, land
the hooks were going down South
Wabasha street at top speed
when suddenly there emerged
from the road which circles the
bluff a team and lumber
wagon driven by Olaf Gustafson.
He drove directly in the road of the
truck and seemed paralyzcd with fear.
He made no effort to get out of the way.
and but for the mastery manner in
which George Wright, the driver of
the truck, handled his horses
there would undoubtedly have been a
fatal accident to chronicle. Wright
pulled the plunging animals sharply out
of the road and avoided collision with
the front end, and w. DAILY, helmsman.
swung the tail end across the road in
such a way as to clear the rear of Gus
tafson's wagon by but few inches. The
truck never came so near overturning
since the smash-up in which several of
the crew got broken limbs.

LABOR COUNCILS SUPPORT

Given Solidly to the Gehan ResO-
luton on the Eight-Hour Day.
The trades and labor assembly last
night discussed the New York Central
strike, and after voting announcement,
decided to send financial aid. The
eight-hour resolution of the city council
was discussed. and the following reso-
luton. offered by Frank Valesh, was
unanimously adopted:
Whereas. The resolution passed at the last
meeting OF the common council retaining
the present rate of wages on city work under
the eight-hour day, makes that ordinance
practically operative, and fulfilling one of
the pledges given by both political parties,
Whereas, The opponents of this measure,
among other things, assume that the city
government will be paying for ten hours
service while requiring eight hours work;
overlooking the fact that an ordinance al
ready exists making Sl.5J day the min
eight-hour law. this means 1928 cents an
hour, which is really less than many con-
tractors i'll st. Paul are paying.
Whereas, We observe that a fair rate of
wages paid to mechanics and laborers has
never worked to the detriment of any COM
munlty, and that ST. Paul is even now paying
less for common labor than other cities in
the state.
Whereas, The mayor and members of the
common council were elected by the votes of
taxpayers, the larger portion of whom are
also workingmen, their recent action must.
therefore. have voiced the real sentiment of
taxpayers and citizens Therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Trades and Labor AS
sembly of st. Paul, representing the opinions
of all skilled mechanics and Workingmen,
feels it to be its duty to urge most earnestly
that the mayor afix his signature to the or
dinance adopted by the council on the 9th,
in order that it may become law. thus full
filing the promise made by the city officials
and Endorsed bV the peOnle.

WAS ZEZIRE MURDERED 4?
A Mysterious Cutting ARRAY in
Minneapolis.


There was cutting affray in Mime
apolis yesterday morning which prob
ably resulted in murder, although no
one knows anything about the mat
ter. The man who was carved
man from Milwaukee named Zezire.
Two men, Jack O'Brien, a tough char
acter we'll known to the police, and
man named Marshall, are under arrest.
The affair took place on the East side
flats at about 2o'clock yesterday morn
ing. Acc ording to the informa-
ton in the hands of the police,
which is very meager. Zezire was
down Oh the fats with Marshall's wife.
He had been intimate with the woman,
it is claimed, and Marshall, with some
friends of his, was ''laying for" ZeZire.
He and the woman were caught in
shanty on the flats, and a free fight
followed. Zezire defended himself as
best he could, but his aSSailantS were
too much for him. One of them used
big butcher knife on the travelling man,
and is supposed to have carved him
pretty ably. He has not been seen since.
Whether he crawled away and is being
was really killed and his body thrown
into the river remains a mystery, al
though the latter is what is believed to
have occurred. No trace of him has
since been found. O'Brien and
Marshall were arrested last night.
The former will say but
little, and Marshall is still too drunk to
talk. O'Brien, however. admits that
there was fight, but says that Marshall
did the cutting. Further than that he
refuses to say a word. Marshall Is
an expressman and lives on the
East side flats in the house where
the cutting was done. There are plenty
of evidences of a fight about the shanty
in the way of blood, but nothing more.
What has become of the woman remains
a mystery. The police know but little
of the affair, and are inclined to say less.

A FAMILY FRACAS
Over an Elopement That Was
Never Forgotten.

Over an ElOpement That Was
Never Forgotten.
There was music in the air last night,
at least the atmosphere in the vicinity
of Jacob Streihoff's residence on the
lower flats, in West St. Paul,
was we'll laden with more or
less harmonious strains. The occa-
sion was matinee In which
Mr.. Streihoffiand his son-in-law were the
stars. Some months ago the story of
the elopemept of pretty Adele Strei-
hoff with Berne Hersheim, a Still
water youth, was told in the
GLOBE. and it was subsequently
stated that Streihotf pere and his
daughters husband had smoked the
pipe of peace. Since that time Mr.. and
Mrs. Hersheim have been living in
Saltwater, and last week the young
wife came to st. Paul for the
first time since the elopement to pay
her parents visit. The husband got
lonely without her and also determined
to visit the old folks>on the flats. He
arrived last evening, but his reception
was not cordial. 1t seems that Mr..
Streihoff had never forgived the theft of
his daughter, as he terms it, and as
soon as HerSheim appeared in the door,
way there was trouble. A large
pitcher came sailing through the air
and landed with crash against
the door-post This made the visitor
mad, and he proceeded to kick the gray
haired Israelite all over his own house.
The women screamed, the cat set
up a dismal wall. and all the
dogs in the nelghborhood barked
vociferously. When the smoke of the
battle settled and the injuries were
counted, it was found that Hersheim
had lost section of skin as big as
a dollar from his nose, and the old
gentleman had pair of badly damaged
optics. Blood, hair and feathers were
strewn over everything, but no one was
killed. Mis-. Hersheim refused to
stay in her parents house over
night and went to the hotel
with her husband. This makes the
third encounter between the Saltwater
youth and the irascible author of his

GREED OF A BIG HOUSE.
How 1t Absorbs Income, Comfort
and Happiness.

The Point of View" in Scribner's Magazine,
There was a story in the newspapers
the other day about Massachusetts
minister who resigned his charge be-
cause some one had given his parish
him to live in it. His salary was too
small. he said, to admit of his living lu
big house, and he would not do it. He
was even deaf to the proposal that he
should share the proposed tenement
with the sewing societies and clubs of
his church. and when the matter came
to serious issue. he relinquished his
charge and sought new field of USE
fulness. The situation was an amusing
instance of the embarrassment of
riches. Let no one to whom restricted
quarters may have grown irksome, and
who covets larger dimensions of shell
ter, be too hasty in deciding that the
minister was wrong. Did you ever see
the house that Hawthorne lived in at
LenOX? Did you ever see EmerSOn'S
house at Concord? They are good
houses for Americans to know and re-
member. They permitted thought.
A big house is ne of the greediest
cOrmorants which can light upon little
income. Backs may go threadbare and
stomachs may worry along on indiffer-
ent filings, but a house will have
things, though its occupants go without.
1t is rarely complete, and constantly
tempts the Imagination to flights in
brick and dreams in lath and plaster.
1t develops annual thirSts for paint and
wall paper; the plumbing in it must be
kept in order OH pain of death. What
ever price is put on coal it has to be
heated in winter; and if it is rural or
suburban, the grass about it must be
even though funerals in the family have
to be put off for the moving. If the
tenants are not rich enough to hire
people to keep their house clean they
must do it themselves, for there is no
excuse that will pass among hOusekeep-
ers for dirty house. The master of
house too big for him may expect to
spend The leisure which might be made
Intellectually OF spiritually profitable in
acquiring and putting into practice fag
ends of the arts of the plumber, the bell
hanger, the locksmith. the gasfitter and
the carpenter. Presently he will know
know how to do everything that can be
done in the house except enjoy himself.
He will learn about taxes, too, and
water rates, and how such denominations
as sewers or new pavements are always
liable to accrue at his expense. AS for
the mistress, she will be a slave to car
pets and curtains, wall paper, painters,
and women who come in by the day to
clean. She will be lucky if she gets
chance to say her prayers, and thrice
and four times happy when she can read
a book or visit with her friends. 10 live
in big house may be luxury, pro-
vided that one has full set Of money.
and an enthusiastic housekeeper in ones
family, but to scrimp in big house is
miserable business. Yet such is hui
man folly. that for man to refuse to
live in house because it is too big for
him is such an exceptional exhibition of
sense that it becomes the favorite para
graph of a day in the newspapers.

THEY WANT MORE WAGES.
Stockyards Engineers and Fire
men Go on a Strike.


CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-All of the firemen
and engineers employed by the Union
Stockyards Switching association went
on strike for higher wages this morn
Ing. At noon forty engines, each hay
ing two men as crew, were lying idle
at the Forty-seventh street yards. In
consequence of the strike 120 switch
men are also idle. The switching, or
transfer system, is the largest in the
country, as the ASSOCIATION does all the
work for the immense packing houses
at the yards. consequently all work at
the packing houses is at standsIill.
The tracks are filed with immense
trains of fresh meat which were des-
tined for outside points. The reasons
for the strike are: The firemen receive
1615 cents an hour, the engineers %
cents. The firemen want 20 cents and
the engineers 80 cents. The men all
desire the Sunday work regulated. The
demands were this morning made to g.
T. Williams, secretary and treasurer of
the stockyards company. The men re-
their demands could be considered, but
struck at once.
The executive committee of the gen.
eral superintendent association held
three hours session at the office of
Supt. Royce, Of the Rock Island road,
this afternoon. The association is COM
posed of the higher officials of the vari-
Gus railway systems centering in Chi
cagO, and the stockyardS strike was the
object of the meeting; but no def mite
action was taken. A gener al meeting
of the association will be held to-mor-
row at IL a. m. to decide upon course
OF action. Supt Royce, who is chair
man of the executive co mmittee,
talked freely on the strike sit
uatiOn. He explained that all
the roads running into CHI
cago have their own switch engines
in the yards. These engines are owned
by the individual roads. The men and
the engines employed in switching in
the yards are under the direction of the
Stockyards Switching assoc iation.

ised, OF on on Friday. and will not

at the bridge, which point point was
visited by GLOBE representative yes
terday afternoon. In five or six places
there was rail out. and three or four
gangs of men were at work putting on
the finishing touches. Nobody seemed
to know when the work would be done.
1t was stated that a good deal
of miscalculating had been done
that good many rails were
found too short and had to be length
ened, and good many holes had to be
punched by hand. 1t was hoped that
all the rails would be in place to-day,
but nobody seemed willing to wager
anything that they would be. and the
time for starting the line is about as
predetermined as week ago.

Lloyd's house has for a long time been
the most notorious house of assignatiOn
in Minneapolis. Heretofore she has
been running, it is supposed, under
police protection, as her place was never

believed that she was pulled last night
because she had failed to put up the

him the following resolutions passed on
the preceding evening:


Resolved, That the Builders Exchange of
st. Paul feels it to be its duty to protest most
earnestly against the discrimination pro-
posed to be made by the mayor and common
council OF this city against certain class OF
mechanics and workingmen in favor of Ia
borers clers, etc., employed by the city gov
ernment by paying such employees for ten
hours work, while requiring only eight
hours service to constitute days work;
further
Resolved, That a committee of three be
appointed by the chair, said committee to be
instructed to call upon the mayor of this
city, or. in his absence, upon the president
OF the council, Mr.. o. o. Cullen, and repre-
that the proposed legislation is unfair and
unjust to la ge body. Of taxpayers. them,
selves workingmen and worthy citizens, and
urging the mayor, or, in his absence. the
pres1ndent of the council, to withhold his
signature from the ordinance proposed in
the council on the 10Th, or. if necessary to
5 prevent its becoming law, to return the
same to the council with his veto.
The committee stated further, to the
president of the council, that the la
borers employed by the exchange are
all paid by the hour, and work eight,
nine or ten hours as they please. BY
far the largest number of them receive
10 cents an hour, the same amount
which the city formerly set as their
minimum pay. A few of them. who
are able to do certain special kinds of
work, get III or even 20 cents an
hour, Acting Mayor Cullen promised
to give careful consideration to the facts
placed before him before taking deci-
sive action in the matter. What course
he will take if he is obliged to act for
Mayor Smith in the matter he will not
say. In fact he says that be has not yet
examined the subject sufficiently to
know himself what he will do. 1t is
probable, however, that he will veto it
