PIrTsBURG, Nov. 21.-The great strike
at Carnegie's HOMESTEAD steel works h as

fight. This action was taken at a meet
ing of the lodges of the Amalmated as
sociation at Homestead in the after
noon, the vote standing l01 in favor of
declaring the strike off and 81 against it.
Among those present at the meeting
Were Vice President Carney, Secretary
Kilgallon, Treasurer Madden and David
Lynch, of the advisory board. The
officials addressed the members, and in
plain words told them the strike was
lost, and advised them to take steps to
better their condition.
The remarks met with considerable
opposition, but when the vote was taken
it showed q majority of 10 in favor Of
declaring the strike off. Those who
were in favor of calling the strike off
We're jubilant, while those who We're
against it We're badly put out.

Beaver Falls and DuQuesne struck.
The DuQuesne men gave up the fight in

steadfast. and had no intention of Civ
ing in. They are very bitter against
the Homestead strikers
The Lawrenceville strike will now
fail by reason of the cause for its con-
tinuance being removed.

Southern Bride,

New YoRK.-A marriage notice print
ed in the mornings papers announces
that Hayward Hall McAllisrer and Mis-:
jamie Champion Garmany, of Savannah,
were married in this city on August %.
1887. Hayward Hall McAllister is the
younger son Of Ward McAllister, and
Mrs McAllister is the daughter Of the
late George w Garmany, prominent
lawyer of Savannah, who died in the
spring Of 1883, having no suspicion tha
his daughter Jane was married.
The secret has been kept absolutely
The young people became engaged in the
autumn Of 1885 and this fact was know,
in the families Ward McAllister op
posed his sons marriage on the ground
that the man ought not to enter into such
a condition of life until he is able to
properly support wife
The reason now given by the husband
and wife for marrying was that they wish
ed to make sure of each other beyond
force Of separating accident, and the rea
son for keeping it so secret was the op
position of Ward McAllister to the match
Mr. McAilister is said to be very muc
surprised and displeased at the news.

Does the Morning Glory En,rap Beesi

A city correspondent, g. A., writes to
the agricultural editor to inquire if I
shave ever noticed that the honey bee is
sometimes caught prisoner in the lovely
morning glory and held there until re-
leased by some hand pulling the closed
flower from the stem" G. A. proceeds; {;
~ have observed it when in the country,
but the statement has been met with 80
much doubt by botanist that l now re-
fer to you to settle the matter, and hope

With regard to the morning glory 7
regret that l am not able to definitely
confirm the observation. 1t is probable
that during very warm sunny mornings
the flowers might crumple up with suffi-
cient rapidity to eptrap bees that had
pushed themselves very far down into the
tube in the attempt to reach the nectar
inaccessible, should think, to an insect
with so short a tongue as the honey bee.
The latter, as we'll as various other in.
sects, are, however, occasionally taken
prisoners in such flowers as close ny at
night or upon the approach of storm.
The crocus, for instance, frequently folds
its pcrianth over its winged visitors, and
in early spring the captured insect often
perlshes over night with cold or from the
exaalations of the flower.

The vagaries of South American Justice
are ably illustrated by a story that comes
from the Panama Star and Herald. Two
prisoners, Francisco Brionos Gamboa and
Victor Higuera, were implicated in a
murder at Guara. The Guayaquil court,
being unable to fix the relative guilt of
either, passed the following sentence:
"They shall draw lots and the one favored
by chance shall not be executed and shall
be commuted to that of imprisonment
for life, which sentence he shall serve in
the prison of the capital Of the republic,
after being present at the execution of
the other murderer"
