WAS A SURPRISE PARTY.
The Express Messengers on a
Big Strike,
WHICH PROMISES MUCH TROUBLE.

The Omcisis Were Taken Completely On.
awares, as They Little Dreamed Theii
Employees Had n Secret Organization
n. o. and Other Cities in It,
New ORLEANS, Jan. 1.-THE express
messengers strike took new and sudden
turn Friday evening and Saturday. None
of the old messengers running on the
Illinois Central or the Louisville and
Nashville road are at their posts.
The strike was complete and as u re.
suit New Orleans is practically cut of
from other cities through the medium of
the express. The crisis was reached and
the express officials dumbfounded when
it was learned Friday night that there
was secrect organization composed of
express messengers which had been in
existence several years, and the griev
ance committee fIom this body waited
on Superintendent Fisher and Other
officials here.
1t was the first time the order has
shown its hand Grand Master Hurd
of the Express Messengers brotherhood
of Chicago is in the city. He is a man
of much experience in the express bust
ness and is a conservative business man.
He said the railroad men over the entire
country were taking great interest in the
fight on this end. He hoped the contro-
versy would be amicably settled, and
while the company's business out of
this city had become almost cut off it was
not the intention of the messengers to
injure the public more than necessary.

A GRATEFUL NEPHEW

He Enrichcs n Kindbearted Uncle will
the Harvest of His Mendicancy.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 11.-Christian Boyer
lein, an old German who has bakery in
Collinsville avenue in East ST. Louis, is
in receipt of the information TO the effect
that he has been left snug sum OF
money and considerable valuable prop
erty by the death of nephew in New
York city. He tells an interesting story
in explanation of the circumstances that
must have originated the nephew's de.
termination to bequeath his possessions
to him.
His nephGv, August Beyerlein, the son
of his own brother, committed some sort
of a misdemeanor in Germany many
years ago when he was but boy. The
parents were so incensed that they drove
the boy from home and caused him t.
emigrate to America. After landing Oh
this side of the water the boy, who was
not inclined to industry, began begging
in the streets of New York city, and
profted so well through the generosity
of others that he became professional
beggar. For the past twenty years he
has wandered about the streets of New
York, his ever extended hand grasping
with misery greed the nickels and dimes
by persons whose pity his habitually
woebegone appearance excited. Though
unwilling to work for gold, he was fasci-
mated by the possession of it and became
miser of the most sordid type.
Several years ago Chris Beyerlein left
East st. Louis ON a journey to the old
country and met his nephew by chance
in New York. Struck by his appearance
and not knowing his circumstances,
Beyerlein surmised that he was in power
ty and was given no information to the
contrary. In the goodness of his heart
he resolved to help his nephew and gave
him bill of large denomination to help
him out temporarily, promising to give
him further financial assistance upon his
return from Germany. True to his
word the handwriting old baker hunted
up his nephew when he came back from
his visit and gave him some money.
Contrasted with the generosity of the
uncle, the action of his parents in turn
ing him away from home for which he
had never forgiven them, was made to
seem, if possible, more charitable than
ever before, and he resolved to reward
the man who had befriended him with
all his belongings in case of his death.
He made a will in favor of Christian
Beyerlein of East st. Louis, who will
leave shortly for New York to claim his
inheritance. Mr. Beyerlein is informed
that his nephew's estate is mostly in
New York property and that it is worth
not less than $50. 900

stopped at Bristol and suddenly disap-
peared. For three days the search had
been going on, and finally letter from

THE News is making a fight for
Mills because he has stood by the
people and the principles of
the Dem ocratric party. Mills
was traded out of the speakership just
like Cleveland was traded out of the
presidency, and for the same reason:
His uncomprising opposition to pro.
lection, or the Republican method
of taxing the poor for the rich. The
Democratic masses said by their votes
in 1890, that this system of robbing
should cease, and Mills stood ready
to carry out their wishes, and stands
ready now, if.by any honest means he
can overcome the.intrigues of the t 10
the senators from Maryland, New
York and Ohio.

"Name single instance when a man,
after he had reached 90 years OF age,
being elected to the senate, ever ac-
eompIished anything for the people?
They may scrawl up there aud die,
but people want senators to live and
labor. They want men to grow and
. become great in their service as sem
ators."
John II. Reagan was elected sena-
tor about the age of 70, and proved
himself the equal ofhis co.representa-

of senatorial experience, and his
junior in age by about the same nun.

gan had seen the flowers bloom

he was selected by Governor Hogg,
as the most competent man in the
state, to run the railroad commission,

pushed the ball TO within Eve yards of their

with tufts of grass were. of course, very greasy,

seem able after the first half to ''piay the game"

partial; it was greasy for blue and white
and gold and black alike" Some one
would deprecate the grade and the uneven
grounds. Then some others would retort
that both sides had an equal share Of that
grade.
1t was thoroughly jovial party. Later.

Then Folsom gets the ball and darts Off

CHICAGO, Nov. 24.-Thanksgiving day
was observed as ''close holiday" in this
city, and business was entirely suspended.
The principal event of the day for the
fashionable world in particular was the
football game between the Chicago and
Boston Athletic Association teams. The
day was bright. and an ideal day for the
game. Both teams were exceptionally
strong. containing number of famous
college players of recent years. An
exciting game was expected, espe-
cially as the Chicagos have the rep
utation of being ''sluggers. The game
was called at p. m, and was
won by the Bostons by score of Boston
Is, Chicago Il. 1t was not an interesting
game. and when it was over everybody
wondered why there was such close
score. The element of one-sidedness was
so apparent that Chicago's hackers lost
heart early in the game and conceded it to
Boston before the first half was over.
With the exception of two or three bad
fumbles, the Boston team betrayed no
weak points. There was but little slug
ging. although great deal of rough play.
