WHAT OF THE ETRURIA!
Alarm Felt About the Vessel or Which
Miss Agnes Butler sailed.

A arm Felt About the Vessel or Which
Miss Agnes Butler sailed.
A New York dispatch, datod Monday,
-s1 81 .ffat M w.lS. eraala
down town this afternoon by report that
the steamship Etruria, of the Cunard
line, had been lost at sea. The New York
representatives of the company said they
believed the vessel was all right The
Etruria left this port for Liverpool on
Saturday last. She had a large compile
ment of passengers. This is the vessel
on which Miss Agnes Butler is Il pas
senger.
A New York dispatch of Tuesday says:
The agents of the Cunard Steamship
company scout the idea that anything has
happened to the steamer Etruria, which
is reported either burned or sunk by a
collision with an iceberg
Another dispatch from New York
says: There was a rumOr that the
Etruria, outward bound, had sunk. Another
rumOr had it that she was on fire. The
agents Of the Cunard line said that they
had heard nothing of the Etruria since she
sailed, and had no reason to suppose that
anything had happened to her As no one
in the shipping trade has any report of the
Etruria having even been sighted,
the rumOrs were obviously unfounded
and could not be traced TO any definite
starting point. The Cunard line is still
without news of the Etruria today, and do
not expect to hear from her until she
reaches Liverpool. They regret exceed
ingly that an unfounded rumor Of this sort
should be given circulation"
The Milwaukee agent of the Cunard
line, has received dispatch from F. G.
Whiting at Chicago, as follows: ''Our
New York agents say there is no foun-
datlon for IumOr regarding Etruria
The news of the vessels loss created
anxiety in Milwaukee among the friends
of the Milwaukeeans who were on board

WANT EIGHT HOURS.
Architectural Metal Workers i'll Chi
Gag. Strike For Shorter
Day.
About Loco Men Engaged in the
Movement and Many More
Indirectly Concerned.
WOrkmen Claim Their Chances Are
Coed For a Successful
Issue.

CHICAGo, June 15.-Every mechanic
employed ID Chicago in the manufac-
ture or construction of ornamental
architectural iron or metal work went
on strike this morning for the eight
hour work day and an increase of pay
to 80 cents per hour. The number of
men directly involved in the strike APP
proXimates 1000, while probably five
times that number of men are indirect
ly affected by the action of their fell
low workmen.
Most of the big agricultural iron
works of the city are idle. At Winslow
Brothers & Co. s extensive shops at 36S
Carroll avenue the entire working force
OF 500 men quit. OF these only some
IOO are involved in the strike, but the
mOlders, fnishers and other tradeSmen
joiued the strikers from sympathy.
Nanderloot q Troost'S works are re-
ported at the strikers headquarters to
be in pretty much the same condition.
The Chicago Architectural irOn-worhs,
employing 80 men; the Chicago Orna-
mental iron-works with 100 men, and
Vierling & Mcdowell, employing
about 100 men, are all practically shut
down. The men on strike include all
those connected in any way in either
shop or building with the max
ing or placing in position of
ornamental metal work. This COM
prises the builders of iron stairways,
elevator Enclosures, wire screens for
Office and other purposes, and fancy
metal work of all descriptions. The
men who handle the steel pillars and
beams that &C to make up the
skeletons of many of the
big buildings now in course of con-
struction are not on strike. These are
already receiving the pay and
hours which the strikers demand. The
strikers gathered at Zepf's hall, on
Desplaines and Lake Street, this morn
ing. President L. c. Dorm said that
overtures for settlement had already
been secured from several of the firms,
and that the prospect for successful
issue to the strike was good

AN UNJUST JUDGE.
Such Was Lord Coleridge ON the Bac-
carat Trial According to British
Public Opinion.
His Actions Throughout the Case

Consequently He is the Mark of
Much Criticism Throughout
England.

LONDON, June I6,-It is a long time
since any action on the part of an En-
EhSh Judge has been 81 severely and so
generally condemned as the summing
up of Lord Coleridge in the baccarat
case. The prevalent Sentimcntwas ex-
pressed by learned gentleman, who
remarked: II had not known until
to-day that the lord chief justice was
retained for defendants" Another dis
tnguiShed auditor described the sum-
ming up aS a supplementary speech for
the defense. Lord Coleridge angrily
hawled out; ''Silcnee, This is not =
the2ter," when the people in court
loudly aplaudsd Sir Edward Cark's
speech: whereupon person at the
back OF the room retorted: You have
made it So" The bench certainly pre-
Sented ScaudalouS sight, all things
considered, during the trial; and il Is
SAID that the queen expressed her Senti-

DOGS AND CATTLE GO MAD.
Epidemic of HydrOphObia I'm the
| vicinity of Dunlap, Iowa.

DUNLAP, Iowa, June 15.-There IS
considerable excitement few miles
east of Dunlap over dogs and cattle
going mad. Within ten days past thir-
teen cattle have been shot in ons
neighborhood, eight of them from the
herd of George Runnells. The cattle
appear to be ''dumpish'' and then re-
fuse to eat, becoming excited and wild,
frothing at the mouth and starting at
any moving object. One man was
chased through the brush and trees for
over a quarter of mile before he could
escape from one of the mad cattle. Mr..
Ruunells had eighteen head of cattle in
this pasture and whenever there Is any
sign of the disease apparent in the ami
NAL it is shot About twenty dogs in
the vicinity have been killed. The
symptoms were identical with those Of
the cattle. A child of James Fantz was
given milk from a COW that was shortly
afterward affected. The child shows
symptoms of hydrophobia and is in
critical condition.

THE possibility Of great benefits coming
from law increasing import duties is an
unsafe thing on which TO bank. About a
year ago, probably in anticipation of huge
profits from the bill then going through
congress, the Fairfield (,ll.) wooden mills
were about doubled in capacity Of produc-
tion. The last pay envelopes of the en-
ployes contained notices of reduction Of
working time, which were introduced as
follows: eve take this method of saying
TO those in our employ that this is the
hardest year in our experience in the man
ufacturirg business. and in this we are
not alone, as in recent meeting Of the
jeans manufacturers in ] ouisville, Ky, the
expression was unanimous, and the great
problem was to know what to do to create
a demand for our product at remunerative
prices" The meeting Of the manufac-
tuTcrs referred to reto'ved upon a general
curtaiment Of production in view of the
situation The American Wool Reporter
says the trouble stheir product is passing
out Ct fashion, so TO speak. In that case,
this Fairfield mill is an even more striking
example Of the faith Of men in the almight
mess Of more tariff, faith that is every
day receiving a very rude shock.

from Home 10 Get Married.

PATCHOGUE, L. l., June I5.-Grace
Raynor is only Is years old. She lives
with her parents, MIR. and Mrs William
l. RaynOr, at Patchogue. She is the
youngest child. For some time David
Curtis, hostler, aged 10, who lives
near by, has slv-y paid her attentions
a few days ago MIR. Raynor heard
through a friend in whom Grace had
confded that the girl was to be married
on Sunday evening last. To prevent
the marriage Mr.. and Mrs. Raynor kept
strict watch over the girl on Sunday
and took possession of her clothing On
Tuesday, however, she got some
clothes and disappeared. Mrs. Curtis
told Mrs Raynor that Grace had gone
to her brother, Charles Raynor's, but
she was frightened later by a search
warrant into admitting that Grace had
gone to 1. X. Dodge's three miles north
of Patchogue.
The mother started for Dodge's on
Wednesday, and on the way she saw
young Curtis, whom she confronted
with you are a thief"
"A thief?" he replied.
Eyes, you stole my baby"
Grace had heard her mother ap-
proach and had concealed herself in
the woods near by. Her mother re-
turned without her. That night Grace
slept at Dodge'S house. On Thursday
Charles RaynOr, Grace's brother, went
to Dodge's and took her home
Her father, to prevent her leaving
home until his return that evening,
placed a small chain about her shoe
top at the ankle and fastened it to the
floor. Grace from window complained
of crulty to a friend of Curtis who was
passing by. sHe lodged a complaint
with Justice Carman, who sent letter
as follows:
civilian L. Raynor: Complaint has
been made to me that you have your
daughter chained in her room and that
she complains that she is in torture,
and has been beaten and bruised. This
ought not to be, as you will be liable
for cruel and inhuman treatment, and
Yours, :. Ii. CARMAN."
On receipt of the letter Mrs. Raynor
said they intended to prevent, if possi-
bic, the threatened calamity to their
daughter, whom she released but put
guard over. DR.. II. III. Terry has made
affidavit, after an examination, that
Grace received no injury either from
the chain or from the beating
Curtis was arrested for abduction.
His examination has been adjourned
until Wednesday next, before Carman.
The Dodge ana Curtis families have
been subpRnaed as witnesses. Grace,
who is now at home, says she is through
with Curtis, but she is closely watched.
