LOST IN TIE ARCIlo.

A whnling Vessel Crushed by an Zoe F1os
and Thirty-Five Of Her Crew Killed OF
Drowned.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. S.-The whal-
Ing bark Helen Mar, while at work In
the Arctic, was crushed by an ice foe
October and thirty-five Of her crew,
including Capt. Thaxter,. were either
killed by the ice or drowned News OF
the disaster was brought to this port
Sunday by the steam whaler Beluga,
which aided in rescuing the only sur
vivors, five in number, including Fifth
Mate Ward, a boat steerer, the cook
0cey Kershaw, and two sailors.
The Mar had taken five whales before
October q, catch considered fair. On
the morning of the 9th a seventh was
captured and the bark drawn along
side for the purpose of cutting up the
catch. The men were all engaged and
did not notice the grinding of an ice
floe to the east of them. A moment
after the disaster came with a rush,
overturning the bark upon the whale
and the men at work on it. Vessel and
boats were crushed into splinters,
and the men who were thrown under
the ship were either drowned or killed.
The survivors managed to grasp por-
tious of the main mast and were car
ried over on the ice foe as it passed the
vessel, the fragments of which, with
the dead sailors, were buried under
tons of ice. The half-frozen sailors
clung to their support for forty-eight
hours before they could attract aid.
Finally their signals were seen by the
steam whaler Occa, which sent a crew
to their rescue. They were removed
from the foe only after heroic exer-
tions.
ODESSA, Nov. Spurious storms have
been raging during the last week over
the Black sea. Eight vessels have been
lost and the crews of three steamers
drowned. Such stormy weather has
not been seen on the Black sea for
many months and much distress has
been occasioned among sailors and
fishermen, both on account of the loss
of life and the number of vessels afraid
| to venture out to sea.

history of the Haymarket riot, copies
of many labor publications and of the
constitutions OF labor organizations

be one of the finest in Wa.dheim. II

BROKE THROUGH A TREsTLE.
Ono Man Killed and Several Injured IN =
Train Accident.


HAzLEToN, Pa, Nov. S.-A terrible
accident occurred at Honey brook Mon
day by which one man was instantly
killed, two fatally injured and four
others dangerously wounded. The
men were employed by Crawford &c
Dugan and were engaged on the strip
ping" at No. 10 colliery. AT noon the
men left their work, intending to
eat dinner. A train of loaded cars
was passing and they boarded it. The
road runs over trestle which spans a
deep ravine. and when the train
reached the middle of it the timbers
gave way, precipitating the cars and
men to the bottom. The loud roaring
noise of fcracking timbers attracted the
attention of other worl<men, who
set to work rescuing the unfortunate
men. Michael Korko was dead when
found. His body had been terribly
crushed and every bone was broken.
The other victims were wedged be-
tween the cars and debris, but after
hard work all were extricated.

GREAT STRIKE IN NEW ORLEANS,
Many Trades Already Out--Business Par
aIyzed and settlement Far on.


alyzed and settlement Far on.
New ORLEANS, Nov. q. - The big
strike began Saturday, and the chances
are that one of the most colossal strug-
giles which have ever taken place in
this country between labor and capital
will ensue The question at issue IL
wholly one of unionism, not wages or
hours of labor. The amalgamated union
insists that merchants employ none but
union teamsters and warehousemen.
On this issue strike has been under
way since October 22. Attempts have
been made to arbitrate the matter, but
the union, not satisfied with the action
of the merchants, first threatened
general strike Thursday and on Satur-
day ordered it.
The plan decided on by it is for ono
trade after another to strike until busi-
ness is completely paralyzed here. The
first to go out were the clothing store
clerks, who stopped at noon. The
| Musicians union followed, inter-
fering with the matiuees and caus-
ing the opera house to shut its
doors. The car drivers followed at
5 o'clock, causing great Inconvenience,
as the carriage drivers and cabmen
were already on strike, and there was
no way of getting up town. The paper
hangers, gas workers and number of
others next struck. The union in
cludes sixty-one organizations and it is
said that all or nearly all will be out.
The Electric Light Workers union
has decided to join the strike, but the
decision requires the sanction of the
International Electric Workers union,
| of which it is member, before it be-
comes effective. When this strike is
on the city will be in darkness, as the
gas men went out Sunday.
The Typographical union met Sun
day afternoon and decided to go out.
This will probably suspend the publi-
cation of every morning paper in the
city except the German Gazette.

against any breach of the peace, but
declined to discuss the strike until he
had had an opportunity of hearing
both sides of the case.
The conference between the mer-
chants and laborers' committees was
resumed ut the city hall Sunday morn
ing, Mayor Fitzpatrick presiding, and
after an executive session which Gov
