The Great Metropolis without "Buses"-
Enormous Consequent Inconvenience.

The Great Metropolis without "'Buses"-
Enormous Consequent Inconvenience.
rBy Anglo-American cable TO the Dispatchl
IoyDoy. Eng, June 8.-Hardly a single
omnibus of the S75 vehicles belonging TO
tbe London General Omnibus Company Is
running to-day, and il is estimated that
about5 3. 900 men and Il, 900 horses are thrown
into a state of idleness through the strike
which commenced yesterday. The amount
of inconvenience which the worhngmen
and businessmen of tins city are thus quito
can be readily imagined when 1t 10 under
stood that tens Of thousands OF people
depend upon omnibuses TO convey them
to their work.
THE STREETS FORLoRN.
All the Yards of the General Omnibus
Company are strongly "plcketed by men
ON strike and the usually swarmingly busy
main streets of the metropolis presented
deserted and forlorn appearance, OWING
10 the absence of the "'buses," generally
weighted down with passengers inside and
out TO the utmost carrying capacity OF tine
vehicles. Only the tram-cars and a few
"piratesn or "scab buses are TO be seen
here and there. These pirates" are
charging an increased rate OF fare IN view
of the harvest-producing strike, but the
public generally are chary of patronizing
employment.
THE HosTLERs REPORT.
The hostlers of the omnibus company
this morning reported for duty as usual,
and after having wateIed and fed the
horses. again left the stables, refusing 10
assist the company in any other way.
The leaders of the strike early in the day
made tour of all the company's yards
making fiery, enthusiastic addresses to the
men and doing everything possible TO en-
courage the men to resist.
SO far as the general feeling OF the
strikers is concerned it may be said that
they are sanguine of speedy surrender
upon the part of the company.
The directors of the omnibus company
are holding conference to decide upon
what course of action they shall pursue.
During the meeting of the directors depu;;
tation OF non-union men yisltea 'ne art anu ~
the places of the strikers if they were ac-
corded adequate police protection.

was observed in the Presbyterian church
yesterday afternoon. The chief feature of
the occasion following o responsive service
led by Superintendent w. +. Farrar was a
lecture before the children by Rev. II. G..
Alexander, ID. ID.
The Doctors utterances concerning his
leaving this field were touchingly tender,
and filed every heart with inexpressible
sadness. He said he would soon bid adieu
to the people and friends whom he loved
so devotedly, perhaps never on earth TO see
them again; but so long as life lasted they
would be borne upon his mind and heart,
and he hoped he would have always place
in their hearts.
THE BACCALAUREATE.
Last night the Rev. DIR. Bagby preached
the baccalaureate sermon before the State
Female Normal School The church was
thronged with earnest listeners to his
able discussion of the benefits of the
Christian religion TO women especially.
Among the ministers who occupied seats
IN the pulpit were Bishop Randolph, of the
Episcopal Church; Rev. DIR. Harding, of
the Presbyterian; Rev. j. W. Ware, of the
Episcopal, and Rev. Simpson, of the Meth
odist
Confirmation services were held in the
Episcopal church yesterday.

spasmodic search she resigned herself to

struggling young man without money, ex-
cept what he earned, and unable to besto W
diamonds upon his fancee. One day she

denly pausing, she pointed to point of
light In the street and said: What is that,
diamond ?" He stopped and picked il up
with delight and surprise. 'Tsuppose who
ever lost such gem will advertise it." he
said. We'll. You keep it," said she, until
1t is advertised for, and if it is not you can

Although the powder magazine was To-

wanted 10 go downtown, and stepping out

her parasol and shouting as only woman

painting she gasped out to the conductor:
"Ihanksi You were very kind to wait
