railway and the knights OF LABOR
Third Vice President Webb, OF the
New York Central, was the FIRST witness
and said that tile company had no con-
troyersy with its emyloyes. On the
evening OF August a large number oi
employees LETT, and their places had peeh
filled. The alleged cause was that seven

out of 70, COO had been discharged lhey
were discharged for good cause, but only
seven OF those men applied TO the com
pany for information as to why they
we're discharged. Subsequently, a
gentleman from another state called and
wanted to know why the men were dis
charged. Witness declined TO give ihe
reasons. That gentleman was MI HoI-

Continuing. MIR. Webb said that sew

which they were discharged. Their re

nothing to do with their discharge.

the board declined to admit the ques-

Pryor. turning around to the Knights OF

Webb said he had arranged for the
services of pinkertou men some time
before the strike.
When asked about the details of the
arrangement Webb declined to answer.
He did not seek protect ton of the police
authorities prior to employing the
Pinkerton men.
Webb was followed by some of the
members OF the knights of Labor dis

W0MAN'S SUFFRAGE.
Meeting of the stale notwithstanding
Interest Taken.

Meeting of the Stale Association-LittIe
Interest Taken.
An adjourned meeting of the California
State Woman's Suffrage Association was
held yesterday, Mrs. Ballou in the chair.
The question of appointing committee
to urge the introduction of a suffrage bill in
the Legislature was brought up for discus
sion. There was very slim attendance,
and upon that ground several speakers
urged that the matter be dropped and the
meeting adjourn until such time as women
showed sufficient interest in the proceedings
TO attend. 1t was also shown that the eX-
pense of keeping the committee in Sacra-
mento for five or six weeks would be con-
siderable, and that the association is not
strong enough TO guarantee the financial aid
necessary.
Mrs. Hale, the latest addition to the men,
bership, suggested that the ladies could do
better missionary work in their own homes
than was being done at the TWO met tlngs
that have been held since she signed the
roll. Her sensible talk had quite an effect
upon tie meeting. and led to motion being
adopted later on that the meeting adjourn to
the call of the Chair.
Various topics were discussed in the in
term, the principal one being Mrs. BallOu's
attempt to secure nolaryshlp in this city.
The legal phases OF her case were discussed
from every standpoint, and as the ground of
refusal to appoint her Is based on the fact
that she is not an elecior, Miss LOOMS, one
of the speakers, stated her firm determine
ton to register as voter. Ii she is refused
the privilege she Will 90 10 the polls and

HARDER THAN IRON.
Belgian Blocks Smashed to Pieces on
Mans Head.

Mans Head.
A good-lOoking young man, with fair hair
and the form If apollo, gave remarkable
exhibition at the Ninth and Arch Museum
yesterday. Belgian blocks. as well as parts
of crossing stones, were placed on his head,
and then smashed with heavy sledge in the
hands Of strong men taken from the audi
ence. He was Andrew Hull. the man with
the iron skull, who came back TO this coun-
try from Europe recently. where he was
puzzle to the leading medical men. He
stood on small platform at the end OF the
museums curio-hall last evening, and when
he had placed solid. square anvil on bis
head a Belgian block that had evidently
been taken from one of the dirtiest streets of
the city was fastened on top Of the anvil.
The man was then taken from the audi
ence and put On a smaller platform that was
bailt at the end OF the platfcyna.0n which
stood Hull. The man peeled off his coat and
was given heavy sledge. At the word
strike the sledge struck the stone on Hulis
head loud, rebounding blow. Hull seemed
TO stagger, but vOlley of applause rang out
as he rallied and received a second crashing
blow on the head II was blow that would
have dropped Texan steer to the ground.
but young Hull never finched and shouted
for more. The man battered away until his
wind gave out, when another big-armed man
jumped on the platform. grabbed the sledge
and renewed the assault. As the sledge was
brought down with crashing blows pieces OF
the Belgian block flew from it, but it did not
split, and it looked as If the stone could not
be broken, when the man with the sledge
went at it harder than ever, and the stone
finally was smashed to pieces on Hulps
head.
Hull is native of McConnelsburg, up the
State, and since childhood is said to have
been noted for his thick skull. His chums
for pastime broke baseball bats and boards
over Hull's head, but it was only four years
ago that he began to have rocks smashed on
his head with heavy sledge. Doctors claim
that Hul's skull is oss fed and that it is the
only freak of nature of its kind.-Philadel-

MUST SERVE HIS TINE.
Emil Becker, the Diamond Thief, Denied
Haheas Cnrpua Writ.


Haheas Corpus Writ.
Emil Becker, the young diamond expert of
New York City WHO was recently convicted
in this city Of grand larceny, appealed
few days ago before the Supreme Court for
q writ Of habeas corpus. Yesterday alter
noon the court heard the plea and denied it.
demanding Becker into the custody of the
Sheriff.
Becker's offense was committed in New
York City over year ago. He received a
large amount Of diamonds. said to be about
$4,000 worth, for which he was to pay when
he sold them. Instead of taking the road
and " drumming them, he deposited the
whole consignment with a convenient
fence" and received money enough to
allow him to marry and go to his home in
Germany. Once there. his family re-
pudiated him on account of his misdeeds,
and he started off on tour of adventure.
When he reached San Francisco he found
them, sold the tickets for the diamonds
which the pawnbroker had given him. The
purchaser of the tickets forwarded them to
New York City TO the firm claiming the
diamonds, and they were redeemed. Becker
was then arrested here for grand larceny
and convicted.
The grounds upon which he based the
prayer for the writ of habeas corpus were
purely technical. He claimed that his con-
viction here was illegal since the diamonds
had not been sold here, hypothecated here
and had never been brought here.
