THE DETROIT STREET CAR STRIKE.

Barbados On the Tracks-Mobs Stop
tho Cars.
DETROIT, April 2s.-The street roads are all
tied up this morning. Last night the rails were
taken up in places on most of the lines of the
city, and barbados blocks in length were put
on the rails The police department was totally
unable to cope with the trouble, as the men
were dispersed in crowds all over the city. The
company insists that they could run the cars if
proper protection is afforded them, as they have
more than enough applications to fill all the
vacant places. The employees of the Michigan &
Detroit Stove Works to the number of about
5000, who yesterday gave notice that they would
not work today, are mingling with the strikers
and encouraging the men in every way. While
the street car company and its employees are
thus trying to settle their differences, the public
suffers greatly, az there is no mode OF convey
ance. The strikers have the sympathy Of the
people, who in many instances where the cars
have been run since the beginning of the
trouble refuse to ride in them.
At the conference this evening it was decided
to give the street car company the support OF
the entire police department as well as the
sheriff's force, to enable them to run cars.
This evening ten cars started on Woodward
avenue. The first one, manned by the police.
went along all right The next one was not
guarded and was quickly thrown on its side in
the gutter. No more cars were run then, but
the first one continued up the street. When it
started TO return from the end of the route
man in heavy cart blocked the track until the
police arrested him. The car was followed by q
shower of stones as it drove of. Then an
attempt was made to bring the car which had
been lying ct the jefferson avenue ferry
all day. A great mob collected and
all sorts of distractions were placed
across the track. The police couldnot keep the
way clear. Einaily Treasurer Hendfle, OF the

A Thief in q Bag.

The late earl of Shaftesbury once lost his
watch while walking in Whitechapel. He
advertised his loss, as he valued his watch
for certain associations. Within twenty
four hours his household was aroused by a
violent ring and knock at the street door,
and the wheels of vehicle were heard hur-
rying away in the distance. On opening
the front door sack was found filed with
something that moved. On examining the
sack boy of the Arttul Dodger class was
found. bound hand and foot and gagged.
Round his neck was the missing watch, and
underneath was placard with the words:
''Lock i'm up, my lord; he's disgrace to
our profession: he Orter known as how yer
lordship was free of the wud; Civ i'm five
years 'ard.-Yer Friends" The earl did
not take the advice of his friends" He
reformed the Artful DOdger. and eventually
he became light of the London shoeblack
brigade.

What May BE Patented.

The Washington Chronicles gives the gist
of our patent laws in the fewest possible
words as follows:
A United States patent will be granted
to any person who has invented or discOv.
cred any new and useful art, machine,
manufacture. or improvement thereof. not
known or used by others in this country,
and not patented or described in any
printed publication in this or any other
country, before his discovery or invention
thereof. and not in public use nor on sale
for more than two years prior to his appli-
cation, unless the same is proved to have
been abandoned.
In this connection the word ''art" means
the process or method of producing an old
or new result. If a method of doing any,
thing contains one or more new steps, the
process is new and patentable.
The word machine" means any device
or thing by means of which mechanical
result may be produced, such as pin,
churn, or a locomotive.
The word ''manufacture" means made
up article. such as furniture. clothing, har-
ness, and the thousands of things which are
offered for sale.
"COmpOSitiOn of matter" means chem
ical compound of ingredients. such as hard
rubber. liquid glue, medicine, etc.
Patents may also be obtained for, designs
for manufactures and works of art, for
three. seven, and ten years.
Trade marks may be registered for any
arbitrary sign or symbol which is not de-
scriptive; the government fee is $25. Such
marks are the exclusive property of the
registrar for thirty years, and the time may
be extended.
A ''label' is any descriptive tag. print,
OF impression to be placed upon any article
or its case, and it may be registered for
twenty. eight years. The government fee
for "labep is So; but if it contains any
special mark or symbol, the Office decides it
to be "trade mark" instead of label.

LAST NIGHTS FIRE.
The Prison had Narrow Escape From
Total Destruction. g..

The Prison had a Narrow Escape From
Total Destruction. T..
Exactly at nine o'clock last night the
prison was Jared by heavy explosion.
and an instant later the whole prison was
lighted up by the waves of flame that shot
aloft from the large paintshop west of the
dollhouse. Thirty minutes later the build
ing and all its contents was mass of char
red ruins. Immediately after the explosion
an alarm was sent to the city fire depart
ment. The prison hose carts were run out,
and the hose brought to bear on the fire,
but they were of no avail. Owing to the
wrong signal having been sent in the fire
engine did not arrive in the prison until ten
minutes after the explosion. There was a
strong wind from the west and the window
castings of the dollhouse and the tub and
pail factory were soon afre and it took the
utmost efforts to save the latter structure.
In the mean time the guard house on the
wall and the fences on the side of the bluff
took fire and the sparks were carried to the
warden's house and the house of Guard
Alexander, but these homes were not ma
terially damaged.
The heat was so intense that all the
windows in the west end of the dollhouse
were burned out and the fire got under the
iron roof, but was not allowed to spread.
Had the fire once reached the inside of the
tub and pail shop there is but little proba-
biIity that there would be shop left stand
ing in the prison yard this morning, for the
wind was in the right direction to carry the
flames straight through all the buildings.
If such had occurred it is very probable
that every building in the yard including
the prison proper would have persisted.
The warden anticipated such possibility
by calling in Company K, of the state mill
tia. to be ready for the removal of all the
prisoners.
BY $3.50 the danger to other buildings was
past, but the hose were kept playing upon
the ruins until after midnight.
The building which was large two
stored frame, belonged to the state.
