SoorrDALE, Pa, March 26. The coke
regions have been in an uproar all day
over the result Of the posting of a slid
ing scale last night by the Fricke COM
pany, McLure. and other concerns. The
Fricke company is an enormous con-
cern, controlling over two-thirds OF the
ovens in the district, while the Mcclure
company owns something like 1000 ov=
ems. The manager of the Fricke com ),
any says of seventeen works in which
they posted notices yesterday ten are
working today. It is claimed by the
operators that they are paying 20
per cent. more wages than
any coke region in the country.
The labor leaders are dismayed
at the unexpected desertion of so many
strikerG At the Leisinring works the
strikers who remained out raided the
yards, putting the workmen to fight
several of them being injured. Tonight
the region is filed with apprehension as
to the result of this determined and un-
expected attempt at resumption. The
operators will have regiment Of de-
puties, if necessary. The strikers are
determined, and the majority are united,
while the men who are going back to work
are either desperate foreigners, who
have no fear of the strikers, or men
who are actually driven to work by pow
erty, and perhaps hunger.

RAILROAD CONsOLIDATIoN.
A Railroad Man Says 1t is Desirable But
Hard to Accomplish.

SAN Francisco, March 26.--Vice-
President ]. G.. Stubbs, Of the Southern
Pacific, was interviewed today regarding
the proposed consolidation Of the large
eastern roads. He expressed the opinion
that there is no permanent solution of
the many difficulties which are continu>
ally arising between the great railroad
systems of the country, short of con-
solidation. The difficulties in the way
of consolidation which would be SO in
fact, and not in name only, are very
many. What stands in the way are the
questions of the legality of such COM
bines, and the difficulty in OBJ
tanning the consent of all the
stockholders of each road to
the combination. Other difficulties
in the way of unity of interests, are
the conditions under which the differ
ent roads are bonded. In some in
stances bonds have been issued for three
times the worth of the road !. in others
for much less, while on many roads
there are heavy mortgages, at different
rates of interest. These are the STUN
bling blocks to consolidation, and there
is one other which, perhaps, is greater
than all others-the need of all the
companies in one section of the country
combining. If two or three form com
bination while others are left out, it is a
case OF tying their hands for the bene-
fit of the outsiders.

PARIS, March 26.-The Marquis de
Villeneuve has sent to Figaro report
of an interview which he says took place
in 1855 between the late Prince Napo-
leon and Prince Bismarck, which that
paper published today. In this inter.
view it is asserted that Bismarck
proposed close alliance, offensive and
defensive, between Prussia and France,
which would make these two powers the
dominating influence in Europe. The
combined powers, according to Prince
Bismarck's g plan, should proceed against
Russia and drive the Slavs back to the
Steppes from which they came.
Prussia should absorb the
whole Of Germany, and France
should make Belgium part of the empire.
Then the great allies should undertake
to weaken the power of Great Britain
by depriving her of her colonies,
and should endeavor to reduce
Italy, Spain and the Scandinavian
countries to the role Of satellites to,
themselves. This brilliant proposition,
the Marquis de Villeneuve says, was
laid before Emperor Napoleon, by
Prince Napoleon, but the emperor re-
fused to discuss it.

Los Angeles herald., 1891-03-27

Sam DUNCAN signed two contracts this
season. The first one was to play ball
with the Milwaukee club. The second
contract was signed with Miss Mamie
M. Bodgard of Oakland. These facts
have already been published in the
HERALD. .
The marriage license was issued from
the county clerks Office of Los Angeles
on the 18th OF March.
DUNCAN is known all over Southern
California. He is good looking, strap
ping young fellow, and has a pair of
shoulders that would make profess
sional athlete jealous.
"Dunnie,'' as he is familiarly called
by his admirers, led the California
league in batting last season. and
Colonel Robinson picked him up during
his trip with the Colonels to the Southern
citrus belt last winter. He proved to be
the greatest find of the season, his bat
ting being out of sight, as the baseball
crank was won't to remark. Many a
time the Colonels were in tight place,
but the stalwart DUNCAN came to the
rescue with smash for three-bagger.
Dungan's most enthusiastic admirer
was Miss Mamie Bodgard, an Oakland
girl. She never lost an opportunity to
clap her daintily-gloved hands for the
terrific batter from the land OF the
orange groves. Before the season was
over sDunnie" was introduced to Miss
Bodgard. She professed the greatest
admiration for the wonderful playing of
the Oakland outfelder and he fell a
victim to her fattery. The last
game was played, and "Dunnie' kissed
the Oakland girl goodbye when he left
for his home at Santa Ana. Dozens Of
exquisitely perfumed letters came to
him from Oakland, and the announce
ment of his recent marriage did not
come in the nature of surprise.
Now comes the thrilling part of this
story. Two hours after the marriage
had taken place, DUNCAN left his bride.
The dashing young husband journeyed
to Santa Ana, where he had an inter-
view with his parents, who are well and
favorably known in Santa Ana, and
rank among the leading families. Sam
DUNCAN is college graduate, and was
the idol of his parents.
At all events, Mrs. DUNCAN, the bride,
also journeyed TO Santa Ana. She did
not go to the home Of the Dungans, but
went to the Richelieu hotel. She is q
most pronounced brunette, rather petite
and is reported to have temper.
The separation soon became noised
around. Mrs. DUNCAN consulted law
yer to have her hubby restrained from
leaving Santa Ana, but the heavy hitter
eluded his young wife and started for
Milwaukee, giving bis bridaa the slip at
Orange. Mrs. DUNCAN expected that

THE STORY OF A WRECK.
UhicI Weather the Cause of the Loss OF q
British Shin. M w.

ELIZABETH NC, March 26.-The four
survivors Of the British ship Strathairly
say they think the weather and the in
ability to take observations, was the
cause of the wreck. The men, thoroughly
exhausted from exposure, are in bad
condition. The vessel struck at 4:4O
Tuesday morning, and before. daylight
had gone to pieces. The captain and
navigator had been on the bridge for
three days and nights, and were unable
to get an observation. The life-saving
crew succeeded in getting line to the
vessel, but the. men on board were 80 be-
numbed by exposure, that they were up-
able to haul it in.

Died Defending Her Honor.

BEDFORD, Ind, March 26.-Soiomon
Neidifer, living in the extreme southern
part of the county, returned home late
last night and found the dead body of
his wife in one of the rooms. There
were two large bullet holes through her
body. In her hand she held poker,
with which she had attempted to de-
fend her honor. Her left hand was
badly burned with powder. The couple
were married some five years, and had
lived very happily together. So far
there is no clue to the murderer. If he
is caught, lynching is probable.
