STRIKERS SHOT DOWN
A TRAGEDY IN HUNGARY.
A Band Of Riotous Reapers are Attacked
by Soldiers and Twelve Killed
Outright.

A band of $50 respers, men and women,em-
ployed at Bebar, Hungary, struck on the 10Th
for an Increase In their wages. When their
demands were refused they seized wagon
loaded with corn, declaring that they would
have fair share Of the profits. The farmer
who had hired the reapers saw that he could
do nothing and summoned the gendsrmes to
restore order and get back his property. The
gendarmes were socn at the scene of the dis
turbauee, but their presence at first did not
frighten the strikers, who were becoming
more riotous in their demonstrations. They
Threatened to burn the farmers house and lay
waste his helds If he did not comply with
their demands. They even went so far as TO
threaten the gendarmes II they interfcred
Finally the outlook became so serious that
the inspector commanding the gendarmes
saw that prompt and heroic measures must
be taken IL order was 20 be restored He
gave the command TO fire and his men
promptly obeyed- and poured yolley into
the riotous reapers. In the meantime one OF
the strikers, who was standing in a group Of
several Others, near their inspector, drew a
knife and stabbed him. The mob showed no
disposition to disperse after they had been
armed with Winchester rifles, fired volley
after volley into them, until forty-three
rounds were discharged
Twelve men and women were killed and
many were wounded before the mob was
driven from the place. The strikers, fortu-
| nateiy for themselves, were scattered about
| the field, and it was owing to this fact that a
larger number was not killed or wounded.

THE TELEPHONE BUSINESS.
Enormous Increase In the Number of In
struments, and Great Profits on
Mntered Stock.

The enormous increase In the demand for
telephone service in the United states IS
shown by bulletin from the census depart
ment in the series Of statistics on manufac-
lures
In 1850 the number Of companies, firms and
persons engaged in the business OF providing
the people with telephone facilities was l4s,
but in 1890 the number was only 50, showing
the results of absorption Of the weaker by the
stronger In the meantime the amount in
vested increased 57,735, e49 and the number
of telephones and transmitters increased

1889. The total number of employees II telc-
phone companies IN tsaG was s, GiS, ueariy

The most interesting statistics relating TO
the telephone business are those which have
to do with its profits. The total interest
bearing and protit-sharing investments
amounted in 1890 to 81, 81, ,T35. The gross
earnings were SIG, 404 ,5S3, the net earnings
$500, 1l2. the aggregate dividends IS .l6s, eos
and the surplus s., 092, ,5O4 The per cent of
net earnings on the total investment IS 7.2I.
How far these figures, which are of course
given by the companies themselves, are
worthy OF confidence cannot be conjectured
II has been supposed by most people that the
profits Of the telephone companies were much
larger than they are here shown to he, though
1t does net appear that they are insignificant

A PET theory obtains among some

No theory can be further from the
