The new engine is known as Wheel
ing No. 4. and will be stationed down in
the Eighth ward. IL is capable of
throwing about seven hundred and
fifty gallons of water per minute, and
has a number of very desirable improve
ments over previous engines owned by
the city. 1t is different from the other
engines in that the boiler is jacketed
with Russia iron instead OF BRASS or
nickle, and to that extent II does not
look quite as pretty as the old engines
when they are shiDed up. The black
Jacket is an Improvement, however, In
this, that it saves the men good deal
Of polishing when they come from fire
tired out with work, and some engines
now ordered for the big cities have no
bright work in the shape OF a boiler jack
ct at all. The engine is provided with
two polished brass nOzzles, with an eX-
ira nipple for each, and one Of the noz-
zes is fitted with a gum spray attach
ment. Nozzle and nipples ride on
screw plugs, which ensure their pres
sence when wanted. and also prevents
damage TO the threads. The heavy
tongue is so arranged that on arriving
at fire, the simple pulling OF pin re-
leases the horses, tongue and all, and
the team can be trotted of the instant
the engine stope, the tongue riding on
two legs. This does away with the
nuisance of unhitching at crit
ical time, and also allows the
fremen to hitch up quickly when
the ire is over. This is important
is responding TO a second alarm. The
gong on the drivers seat is patent ar
rangement which allows several strokes
of the bell with one pressure OF the
drivers foot. The brake, the feed
water arrangement, and a number OF
other matters Of Importance about the
engine combine late improvements, and
it is a handsome piece OF machinery
! throughout.
1t is expected that the test this after
noon will attract large number OF
people.
The Vigilant engine has been over
hauled, aud the engineers report that
the engines exhaust must be at
tended to at once. They also marked up
the limit Of steam pressure from 100 TO
10 pounds.
At last evenings session OF the Com
mittee it was decided the new men
should go on duty at noon on Monday.
The Committee will meet again Monday
night TO consider the rebuilding OF the
Atlantic.

The Company Refuses to Recognize the
Amaiga nation and the Plant is die.
Every department of the Jefferson
Iron Works in Steubenville, is closed
down Thursday morning the heaters
did not go to work and only few men
worked on the bar mill. The heaters
were not called until near noon when
they were called TO the office where
they were told that the mill was ready
to operate. Only two OF the heaters
were present at this conference with
President Wallace. The heaters asked
President Wallace whether the Anal
gamated scale presented last July had
been signed or whether the Jefferson
was ready to sign. To this answer was
made that it had not been
signed nor would it be signed
as whole for this reason: The COM
pany would not recognize any commit
tee from the association nor from the
workmen At the mill as whole. II
they had any grievances as to wages or
other matters appertaining to their
work, they would be heard individually
or as committee from the various de-
partments.
The company proposed to pay the
prices paid in other mills in the Ohio
Valley. This is for heaters 80 cents a
neat. which is all the heaters ask, and
the question has resolved itself into
simple recognition Of the lodge OF
Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel Workers formed in that city last
spring and taking in heaters, rollers
and nailers. The Amalgamated lodge
held meeting and decided to hold out.

HOW THE CAR SERVICE BENEFIT;
Cars Don't Hang up on the Tracks
Long as They Used to.


Long as They Used to.
1T will be remembered that not so
far back the freight that used to come
into this city," said Freight Agent
Stevenson of the B. & O., used TO hang
up OIL the tracks for quite while be-
fore it was unloaded and oftentimes
when the road needed the cars badly.
1t seemed to be just mere dilatoriness
on the part Of the merchants, and 1t
was Just as true of othe places as OF
Wheeling. Sometimes loaded cars as
signed to parties in this city would re-
main on the track week, If not two
weeks before they were unloaded.'
How has this been obviated?' asked
the reporter.
"WeH, you see that in October Of
1890 there was formed along the vari-
Gus lines of the b. ~ o." said Mr.. Stew
enson, what IS known as the 'CaT'Ser-
vice Association the section here bCing
known as the Pittsburg Car Service AS
ISOLATION. But by this arrangement
cars are required to be unoaded in AS
hours after their arrival at destination,
beyond which time a dollar day Is
charged for detention. Ia the month
of November, 1890, the next month
after the association was formed
the p. e O. handled 1882
cars, and of this number Al 47-l00 per
cent we're released in As hours. On the
Panhandle for the same month there
was handled 1,424 cars, and So 30-lOO
per cent were released in the same time.
Ia the month of July, just passed, the
n-Handle had 1.23s cars, and of this
number so 37-lOO percent were released
In as hours, while the b. Il 0. handled
3.159 cars, and had 90 1-l00 per cent
released in the requisite time. 80 You
see how admirably the system has
worked"

She reached the quarter pole IN 30 seconds.
The half was reached in l III, and the men
who catch a glimpse of the figures on their

The third quarter flag goes down at l:SA

Murderous Switchmen.

NEW ORLEANS, September LA strike has
been IN progress here for some days by the
switchmen of the New Orleans & Northwest
ern railroad, part of the Queen q Crescent
system, growing out of the objection OF the
men to the yardmaster. who was from st.
Louis The men left their work and the yard
master telegraphed to st. Louis for switch
men to take their places. A party OF eleven
men arrived here at o'clock p. m. from
st. Louis and went to work at once. At ll:l5
o. m. the men were seated around the yalo
talking, when four of them in one group
were fired upon and all four fell over badly
wounded. As far as can be made out there
were a dozen men in the attacking party.
One of the wounded men had strength enough
left to grab his revolver and fire, bringing
down one of their assailants. Another switch
man rushed up to the assistance OF their
rounded brethren and the strikers fed:
George Sprague, who is fatally wounded and
will live only few hours, and W. K. Smith,
w, r. Naples and D. F. Jones are seriously
and perhaps fatally wounded. James Sexton.
one of the strikers, is also fatally hurt

Want to Make More Leases.

WASHINGTON, D. c., September Twill
ham A. Snyder, of Arkansas City, has ap-
piled to the Indian bureau for a lease of the
Toakawa reservation. HIS application was
answered, and was very short statement to
the effect that it had been decided not to
lease 1t.
This, of itself, might be considered rather
unimportsnt, but it Is the first step in the
line of new policy which has an important
bearing on the Cherokee strip. Special re-
port to the bureau shows that the cattle in
the strip got there through the Ponca and
Otoe reservations. Cattle were shipped to
these small reservations as the reservations
were leased for grazing purposes.
1t has been concluded that these simply
serve as a door to let cattle into the strip,
and much trouble can be prevented by re-
fusing to lease these lands. For this reason
it is refteed to lease the Tonkawa country,
Is it would be used as an open door to the
strip. The present leases for the Ponca and
Otoe reservations expire next March and it
is believed it has been decided not to lease
them next year and in this way shut cattle
out of the strip.
A report from one of the Indian agents in
the territory, received at the interior de-
partment, states that the work of removing
cattle from the strip seems to be progressing
nicely. He thinks the work is being done IN
an efficient way and will result in all the cat
tie being removed.

was immediately removed to the cholera hos
patal. The appearance of the disease in

Sooners' Sad Situation.

Sooners' Sad Situation.
GUTHRIE, O. T., September 2-The local
land office has just rendered decision which
will cause thousands of Oklahoma settlers,
as we'll as hundreds of prospective home
steaders in the Cherokee strip, to tremble IN
their boots. The case in question IS that OF
Lizzie Dormitt VS.. James Reed. Reed tiled
soldiers declaratory statement on a valuable
tract of land at the opening of the territory,
and was afterwards contested by Miss Dor
mitt on the ground of Reeds being sooner.
The testimony in the case showed that
Reed left Arkansas City on April IA, 1889,
going to the northwest corner of the Iowa
reservation. In going there he passed over
q portion of Oklahoma proper, lying north
of the Cimarron r1ver, on the highway known
as the Captain Nipp trail. He camped near
Fitzgerald creek from April IL to Is, close
to the Oklahoma line.
On April 10 he appeared at a cattle camp
inside the territory line and on the 10th was
present at roundup very near the tract OF
land which he afterward took. The officials
therefore conclude that Reed went on these
pleasure excursions for the purpose OF OBJ
tanning an advantage over the other settlers
who remained at the line until the day OF
opening, and so give the land to Miss Dor
mitt.
Under this decision all of the persons who
have visited any of the Indian reservations
in the territory or the Cherokee strip on
pleasure or hunting trips since March, =,
1889, are sooners and cannot obtain title to
land here. The decision, if upheld by the
department at Washington, will bring into
question the title to hundreds of claims II
the settled portion of the territory and bar
thousands from taking claims in the future

Not Agreed About Strikes.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, September 6.-It has
been developed that there is by no means
unani nifty in the convention of Commercial
TeleQraphers in session here. The conserya-
tive operators are wary of clashing with the
big telegraph corporations. The radicals
favor putting the organization upon strike
basis as soon as possible. IL is said that the
two factions are holding caucuses to further
their interests. It is not believed that q
strike organization will be formed, however.
as most of the operators show an inclinatlon
to 90 slow IN the matter of strikes.
There will be a benevolent feature TO tho
order. It will consist of insurance to the
amount of 500 for the first year OF mem,
bership, at the end of which one Is entitled
to the Uniform Rank degree. This amount
of insurance will be increased 500 every
year for ten years, when $1,000, the maxi,
mum, will be reached. The operator will
then be admitted to the last degree to be
known as the Mystic. There will be a SICK
and death fund. Membership will be open
to every operator, male or female, over 10
years of age, in America.

WAsHneroH, D. c.. September 2-Presi
dent Harrison has returned TO Washington.
He said, by wire, when leaving Loon Lake:
The alarm about and danger of the intro
duc4ion of cholera has made it necessary
that I should abandon for the present the
tnp to the north and 60 to Washington to %
sure that no official precaution is omitted to
protect our people against the threatening
scourQe." A conference was held with bus
cabinet officers to consider the status OF
cholera affairs.
The arrival of the steamer Moravia in
New York from Hamburg, after having had
tyerty-two deaths on board from cholerine,
was fruitful topic of discussion among the
officials of the government charged with
guarding the nations health. When shown
the dispatch, Assistant Secretary Spauldlng
said it showed how necessary and timely
were the quarantine precautions taken. de
said there was no doubt the vessel would be
held in quarantine Until the physicians
should be satisfied all danger shall have been
passed. Speaking of the suggestion that
congress be called together to enact law
suspending immigration, MIR. Spaulding
said, suspension of immigration would
materially decrease the danger, though 1t
would be possible for the cholera to get here
even then. 'We are doing all that can be
done" he said. 1--WE have established q
close quarantine to protect this country az
every port. Vessels will be detained Just as
long as the health officers think necessary In
each case, whether it be one day or twenty.
If it is decreed by Divine Providence that
we shall have the cholera here, we cannot
prevent it, but it is as nearly impossible for
it to get in as we can make 1t.

short distance north of the station for the
purpose of wreck;ng the train.

The train was composed of FIVE passenger
coaches completely filled with people return

Non-Union Men Att lacked.

LONDON, September ga tram carr1eo
out from Liverpool $50 non-union workmen
to the Newbridge salt works, where a strike
is in progress. Unionist scouts in Liverpool
telegraphed ahead that the non-unionists
were coming, and when the train reached
the station several hundred men, led by
strikers, had gathered to prevent the new
men from leaving the carriages.
Most of the men on the train had armed
themselves with knives in expectation of
trouble. Despite the warning shouts OF the
crowd about half the non-unionists left the
tram. They were ATTACKED with stones and
clubs and a hand to hand fight followed be-
tween them and the front ranks OF the
strikers. The non-unionists drew their
knives and cut right and left among the
strikers, injuring some forty men severely:
Two companies of military were called out
before tho mob could be dispersed. All the
men who had remained on the tram refused
to leave it, aud those who had left 1t re-
turned to it, carrying the injured. All the
men were then taken back to Liverpool
