CHIcA9o, Dec. 9.--ln connection with
the Rock Island strike, the mos: i'm
porssnt development of today was the
conference presented at she Sherman
house between Chief Ramsay Of the
order Of teiegraphers and Chief Will
kiDson OF the tFslnmeu, and chief clerk
Of the order of railway conductors.
The conference was secret. One OF the
officials, however. acknowledged that
u was called together for the purpose
of Considering whether or not strike
OF tile switchmen, tircmen. engineers
aGd conductor was advisable.
"You may state" lie said, "that
while we have not reached any deci-
SION. 70 20 into effect at once. the re-
representatives. OF the orders mentioned
were favorsbly inclined to the idea and
il the Rock Island company should
sGccsed IN replacing our men by nom
union hands 20 any large extent, .
strike among the members OF the vsri-
Gus railroad organizations Oh the line Is
invitsble."
Additional Importance is given TO the
conference referred 10 by the tact that
the committee received today . tele-
gram from Wichita. kss., stating that
seven conductors had been unceremou-
iously dism ssed from the service. The
dispatch did not state the details as TO
the esuse of the dismissal. but the COM
mittee presumes tnat tho action OF the
company was due to the refusal on the
part of the conductors To take orders
from the new hands. Those IN the
beet position to judge Of affairs, de
clare that If the strike of telegraphers
continues IL wilt be . question of time
tll strike among the other railroad
men follows. The engineers, couduc-
tors. hrsmen. etc, find ample rosson Tor
. strike IN the declaration that It will
not be safe to run their trains on dIs
patches received from the incompetent
operators. whom thew allsge the COM
psny has engaged. This possibility of
the other railroad employees walking
out ~ practically the only change in
the condition Of affairs SO far. While
the company states emphaticsliy but
few of their men have Quit th-ir keys,
Chef Ramsay and his colleagues assert
with equal posttveness that practically
every man has fione out aud these
statements seem to be supported

Sc, a Hor.e.. Broten Rib.

Four or five months ago one of the
hostlers employed at the stable of
Charles d. Nichols, of Pawtucket, no
ticed that one of the handsome pair of
cream geldings acted little lame. A
superficial examination of the shoulder
resulted in not finding any cause for
lameness. The next morning, when the
animal was taken out to be curried.
there was swelling back of the shoul-
der and a veterinary surgeon was con-
suited 1t appeased to him like rheu-
natisin and with instructions to see if
it could not be sweated ont he left, say
ing he would call the next day The
sweating process did not meet the de-
sired results. and thorough examina-
ton revealed the fact that the fifth rib
was broken of very close to the back
bone
The rib was set. and since that time
the animal has done no work The result
of this piece of bonesetting has been
watched with no small amount of inter.
est by all veterinary surgeons hereabout
who have become acquainted with the
peculiar circumstances of the case How
the rib was broken is yet mystery, and
it probably will remain So The result
of the operation was successful, and in a
short time the animal will again be all
right. Providence Journal

In lighthouses there are six orders of
lights, graded according to their inten-
sity. The lamp of the lowest or sixth
order, which consumes only half gill
of coal oil an hour, gives about as much
light as an ordinary parlor reading
lamp (say- 12 candle power), while the
largest or first order lamp, which burns
sixteen gills an hour, gives 450 candle
power of light. But while the naked
fame of the lamp gives this much light,
the French Fresnel lens in which the
lamp is set condeHses and concentrates
this light, so that it is multiplied in
power many times. Thus the little 12
candle power flame of the sixth order
lamp has in a lens a power of 75 candles;
and the great 450 candle power light of
the first order lamp, when placed in its
enormous lens, gives a power of some
1900 candles. Such lens is 12 feet
high and has a diameter of 6 feet
