CHICAGO. January 14.-As result of the
refusal Of the Chicago Milwaukee and ~.
Paul Company 10 acCede TO the demand OF
the station agents and railway telegraph
operators on the lines of that system a
strike has been determined upon to begin
Friday. Grand-Chief ThurstOn, of the In
ternational Order OF Railway Telegraph
ers. he's sent out an order TO every station
agent and operator in the employ OF the
road 10 send in his resignation tonight, TO
take effect Friday, January 18th, at a. NJ.
This course was taken by the men IN order
TO protect their men, who would be liable
for resulting damages had there been
strike without previOusnOtlce being gwen.
There are about $50 men who will go out.
SUPPORT FOR YEAR.
Chief Thurston says We are in splendid
condition and if necessary can support
these men for year. The statiOn-agents
and operators all over the country are raj
living TO the support Of the movement and
we shall have ample funds 10 carry the
fight through TO q successful termination.
/ DO not suppose our men quitting will in
terfere with the running OF trains, but the
trains will have nothing TO carry. Nearly
all the operators at way-statlons act as
agents. Now, when they quit who will re-
ceIve freight or sell tickets The COM
pauy cannot let incompetent men do that
work.
Only four men IN the Chicago Office are
affected by the decision Of the telegraph
ers' order. At the general offices. OF the
company to-day the officials said the men
were at work as usual all over the system
and that no trouble was anticipated.

FIRE RECORD.

Chicago, Dec. 28.-Mrs. Casazza,
living in an Italian tenement house,
went shopping, leaving her three chill
dren, the youngest two years old, in
the house.
She had scarcely gotten away when
the two older children started large
fire of paper under the baby. The
flames communicated to the clothing
of the baby in an instant and it was
soon enveloped in blaze.
A neighbor heard the screams of
the children and looked into the room
to see what they were doing. She
was terrified to find the little ones
clothing on fire.
She instantly began extinguishing
the flames, using her bare hands, and
was badly burned in her efforts. The
baby died soon afterwards.

Last Sunday morning Rev. Ihos.
Dixon of New York in his Sunday
morning prelude spoke thus Of May
or Grant and his saloon keeper
Judge, Diver:
Mayor Grant has appointed Paddy
Divver-saloon keeper, tough and
criminal-Judge of the Police Court
of the city of New York, at salary
of $4,000 year. Well, what of it?
Some unkind things have been said
about Mr.. Diver. Paddy Diver,
Esq, the Hon. Patrick Diver. l
respectfully submit that it is not his
fault. He is all right. There must
be fitness in things, even in politics.
The appointment of Pat Diver as
Judge. by Hugh j. Grant, is poem
in politics. How could we expect
anything else? We certainly cannot
blame Mr.. Diver. He went into
politics for the money there is in it
and for the protection to his various
saloons.
The Judges of the city presumably
are the enemies of his business. It's
perfectly natural that he should de-
sire to capture the judiciary that the
guns of the enemy should be silenced.
To do this he entered Tammany Hall.
He is one of the faithful. He is one
of Tammany's trusted chiefs. He
bought the Judges seat by his infu-
ence, his money and his energy. He
paid for it. Mr.. Grant has sold it and
he has simply delivered the goods.
His saloon was at least doing thriv-
ing business on Sunday, April 13,
1890, according to the reports of one
of our great morning dailies. 1t will
look little curious to see him sitting
in the seat of judgement, and yet no
more curious than to see Mr.. Grant
in the Mayors chair when we remem-
ber that his Honor the Mayor con-
fessed himself to be "criminal."
They are two of kind, and they
say that Paddy is an honorable man.
They say that he is honest. l am a
fraid that is more than we can say of
Mr.. Grant, if we believe his own
statement in regard to his appropria-
tion of $4,000 in illegal fees. We
know that Mr.. Diver has been the
friend and associate of criminals.
His business has been to rescue them
from the clutches of the law after he
had helped manufacture them in gin
mills.
We can imigine some curious
scenes in the Hon. P. DIVERS
court, as he scans the faces of the
drunks on Monday morning to see if
he can recognize the familiar friends,
to know where they got their liquor,
whether it was at the right place or al
some other mans saloon. If the liq.
uor was obtained at the right place,
we may presume, at least, that the
judgement will not be severe. If the
drunk was unfortunate enough to pat
ronize a rival the Judge may frown.
These are not very pleasant scenes to
contemplate at the close of the nineteenth
century in the metropolis of the New
World. But who is responsible? Not
Mr.. Diver. The voters of New York,
who turned the city over to this gang,
must be ready to recognize their own
work. What sort of men would you ex-
pect Grant to appoint? Would you es.-
pect Tammany Mayor to appoint angels
to office? Hardly. Did he owe his elec.
ton to angels? The saloon keepers and
thugs, led by such men as Pat Diver
