Strike of All Employees of the San Antonio &

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. Dec. 2S.-The entire
San Antonio & Arkansas Pass railroad sys-

tions has been Inaugurated by the new
superintendent. George Sands, late

eral station telegraphers' salaries have
been cut, and, fearing other cuts. the
Order of Railway Telegraphers appointed
q grievance committee, to secure the sign
ing OF a contract by the management of the
road, maintaining the present operators
during good behavior at the existing scale
of wages. The management refused to meet
this demand, but claimed that no general
reduction of wages was contemplated. The
demand of the railway teleRraphers was
backed by oil the other operatives, who,
on this particular road, are federated
for concerted action. This morning
trains left this city, and the paralysis
extended over 500 miles of the ystem. One
operator went to work at BOerne, but Quit

Atrocities OF the Isianders-Many Perish by

SAN Francisco, Dec. 2a-Advices from
the south seas state the natives of the New
Hebrides group have become singularly no.
torious of late. owing to numerous atroci-
ties perpetrated by them on the white in-
habitants. French as well as British sub
jects have fallen victims TO the butchery

his store being afterward looted by saw
ages. No provocation appears to have been
given by the copra-maker, and the resi-
dents of the islands believe that the crime
was committed solely with the object OF
plunder. NJ. Boto was murdered within o
few miles from the scene of the Parent out

plantation. and was tomahawked TO death
by natives.
News has been received here from the
Gilbert islands. The mission bark John
Williams. now at Samoa recently visited
the group. Very severe weather prevailed
while the bark was there, during which
there were several tidal upheavals. the re-
suit, doubtless, of submarine disturbances.
Tidal waves broke high over some of the
islands of the group. causing great loss Of
life, and demolishing houses. At one
island alone the Rev. j. w. Hills, of the
London Missionary Society. writes no fewer
than eighty natives perished- The track
of the tidal waves is not known. but as the
Gilbert group has suffered so severely, IL is
scarcely probable that other islands have
escaped devastation. and further informa-
tIon is anxiously looked for. The Gilbert
islands. OF the Kingsmill group. consist of
fifteen islands OF coral formation. all low,
the highest land in the group not exceeding
twenty feet. and are fast wearing away by

SHE LONGS FOR BLOOD.
Physicians Puzzled Over the Remarkable Ap-
petite Of q Six -Year.0ld Nebraska Girl.

KRARNEY. Neb., Dec. 2S.-The six-year-
old girl of farmer named South, living a
few miles from this place, has recently de-
veioped a most remarkable appetite. which
is alarming the parents and pulling the
local phy sicians. The appetite is for fresh
blood, which the child seems to prefer
warm from the creature supplying IT, The
girl is of a slight appearance, with fair hair
and blue eyes. Ordinarily she Is of shrink
ing disposition. dreamy and languid. and
inclined to be nervous. For some days be.
foreher appetite was noticed she became
torpid, and very much averse to any move
ment She was supposed to be i'll, and q
physician called to see her. She refused to
take either medicine or nourishment, and
her mother, thinking to tempt her to eat,
killed chicken for her; as she held the
bleeding fowl in her hands little Ernestine
sprang upon her. wrenched the chicken
from her hand. and applying her lips to the
Rory neck, sucked the warm blood.
The horrlted physicians and mother at
tempted tn take 1t from her. but she fought
savagely for it. and fearing her reason
might give way. the doctor told her par

she appeared to be her natural self. and
had no recollection of what had occurred.
Since then the attacks have appeared at
intervals of three weeks, and on the advice
OF the ply ysicians she is given some freshly
killed animal or fowl. When this was re-
fused her at one time she threw herself on
her baby brother and tried to bite hole
IN his neck, to suck his blood. On another
occasion she bit her own wrist until 1t bled,
In an effort to get the blood. The doctors
think the peculiar trouble will pass away,
but her parents are of the opinion that the
attacks are becoming more frequent.

A RAILROAD DIES.
The More or Less Notorious Indiana Midland
Finally Forced to Stop It's Trains.

ANDERSON. Ind. Dec. 2s-The Indiana
Midland road has practically abandoned
business. The officials of that road have
made a brave fight and endesvored to tide
over their financial embarrassment. The
treasurers of the counties of Madi-
son, Boone and Hamilton levied
upon their rolling stock to secure
taxes. This proved to be the last
straw. The agents at stations along the
route have been instructed not to receive
freight or sell tickets over the line. The
officials would not receive the mail at this
point to-day, stating that the train would
not go out. The terminal points of the
road are this city and Wayeland. Ind, and
it's length is eighty six miles. The Big
Four and Lake Erie companies are figuring
on purchasing the road.

the clerk of courts discov cred that the last
State Legislature has amended the wrong
law, thereby epdaDgering the chances for
every applicant for license. BY a techni-
cal blunder no end of confusion is threat
ened TO license applicants and license
judges throughout the State. On June 10.
1891, the Legislature passed an act intending
to amend the Brooks law. TO allow salooD-
keepers TO have bondsmen from any part of
the county. instead of ward or township.
The amendment was to, the act approved
approved May 13. 1887. The act amended
was one providing for wholesale liquor,
and as result the judges can refnse all
license applications because they do not
conform 10 the law. To prevent serious
com plications il will be necessary TO have
the license judges of each county give de-
cision on the question before the applica-
tions are presented to them.

o'clock this morning in the Lorena, an
