An Extensive strike.

Ell. PAso, Texas, Dec. 1.-THE
strike of the telegraph operators be-
gun yesterday between this city and
Yuma, on the Southern Pacific Rail
road, promises to develop into nam
moth proportions. The superintend'
emit of the Santa Fe road ordered the
dispatchers to ha 1dle Southern Pa
cific trains between this city and De.
ming, N. NJ, but the operator blunt
ly refused to do it, and the Superin-
tendent was notified If he tries to
force the matter and puts new men
to do the work it means a strike on
the whole Santa Fe system. The
district superintendent of the Wes'
tern Union ordered the men to han.
die the trains between here and De.
ming but the men would not, and the
matter rests there until higher Off
cials are heard from. The trainmer
between here and Yuma are holding
meetings to decide as to whethel
they shall take any action in thu

STUCK ON THE STAGE.
That's the Complaint Mrs. Mcheal
Makes Against Her Husband.
HE SAYS SHE Is EXTRAVAGANT.
The Divorce Mill Keeps Up Good Grind
for Warm Weather.
YESTERDAY IN THE COUNTY COURTS

A hearing was had before Judge Collier
yesterday in the desertion case of Mrs. NC
Meal against her husband, II. McMeal, OF
the firm of Bglev & Co., coal dealers. The
couple lived on Mt. Washington. McMeal
is partner in the coal business with Ed
Murphy, son of Francis Murphy, the tenn
perance lecturer.
Mrs. McMeal, who is young and good
looking, stated that her husband
was given to running around
after theatrical companies, and would
bring home broken-down actors and
make her cook for them. He is now mana
ger of the New York Bijou Company, which
is playing in Ohio towns. He compelled
her to go on the stage, and she was the star
of the troupe, under the stage name of "Es-
telle." Her health finally broke down, and
she was compelled to leave the stage. He
then deserted her, and neglected to provide
for her and her child.
MeMeal, who appeared a well-dressed
young man of about27 years, denied the
charge of neglect. He said he did not COM
pei his wife to go on the stage; she went
willingly. They could not get along, and
quarreled, but he was willing to support
her. He asserted that her extravaganza
had reduced his circumstances and he was
now in debt.
Judge Collier, after hearing the state
ments of the parties, ordered McMeal to pay
S25 month for the support of his wife and
child, and give bond in the sum Of $500 to
secure the same.

been under the care of various physicians,
but none of them seemed to understand my
case and kept growing worse all the time.
Now all is changed, my trouble has entirely

received at the hands of these physicians. "
The lady speaking was Mrs. Mary Rob-

tite, and was so terribly nervous that l could
not sleep. My whole system seemed to be

thought l never would get well.

them will obtain great benefit from their
treatment.

BOOMING A FERRY.
The Stobo Landslide Proves Not an Ill Wind
for Some People.

for Some People.
If the Neville Island Electric Railway
boomers want to get stock taken in the
road they had better strike in the "ever
living present" So great has been the
detention of local travel at the Pittsburg
and Lake Erie, since the Stobo landslide,
that number of people hove been driven
to cross the Ohio river and take the Ft.
Wavne Railway TO the city.
A young man named Fetzer, whose home
is at Stops Ferry, has taken up his abode
in the city, as he says he cannot lose an
hour day aiting on trains. Ed Kennedy,
of Coraopolis, has the advantage on the
majority of Pittsburg passengers, having
been a telegraph operator, and when he
goes into the office in the morning and
listens to the click of the wire he can soon
find out how much the trains are behind,
and if so much as to endanger his chance of
getting to business on time, he takes the
ferry and comes up on the Fort Wayne
Railway. Yesterday morning he had con-
siderable company on his Northside trip.
The detention is like to have the effect of
booming the business of the ferry company.
A number of people, among them S. B.
Kennedy, who do business in Allegheny,
have decided that it will answer their pur-
pose better to cross the Ohio below and
come up the Ft. Wayne. The saving of
fare on two street car lines will more than
pay the toll on the ferry, and then they will
be landed nearer their business

DEvLIN WINS HIS CASE.
Difficulty Between Ticket Agents Settled
After an Hours Trial.

Difficulty Between Ticket Agents Settled
After an Hours Trial.
The case of Charles Devlin versus w. P.
Cooley, an action to recover S131 80 alleged
to be due the plaintiff as the result of bust
ness transaction, was tried before Alderman
Gripp yesterday afternoon. Judgment
given for the plaintiff. Devlin is Liberty
street ticket agent and Cooley is travelling
passenger agent for the Chicago, st. Paul
and Kansas City railroad.
The story of the case as told at the trial
was to the effect that few months ago a
party of sixteen people from Clearfeld
county wanted to 60 to Olympia, Washing
ton. Devlin and Cooley succeeded in
making!- arrangements to furnish
the party transportation, but when they
came to get the tickets to go through to
Olympia they could not be had. Other ar
rangemeuts were made by which tickets
were purchased to San Francisco on the
agreement that they would allow each men,
Der of the party rebate on their tickets
amounting to $40 So providing they could
make a trade at Chicago with the Western
road and return the unused portions of the
tickets.
AS Cooley did not have the money to pay
the rebates when the party arrived at Chi
cago, IL was borrowed from Deynn
and paid at the proper time.
AS the money had been paid
Devlin had. to account to the railroad for,
the full tickets, and would thereby be out
the money he advanced on the rebate.
The case took up over an hours time, and
the defendant tried to gain his point by
pleading that the money had not been paid
by Devlin personally, but by his business
partner. The plaintiffs attorney, hewever,
made motion to make the silent partner q
plaintiff to the suit also, and Squire Gripp
allowed the motion. 1t is probable that the
case will be appealed.
