Who was but four years old,
With azure eyes DER rosy cheeks
And Curls like skeins of gold;

A nicely baked mince pie.
Then knife in hand upon the floor,
She cOOlly took seat,
And gave the cat and kittens each

them arms, and even Joined in the riots
United States troops were promptly
ordered from Eastern garrisons, and
at their appearance the mobs
fled. In Cincinnati, Newark, O., Toledo
and st. Louis armies of strikers succeeded
in closing most of the factories, shops and
rolling mills. In Chicago the Communists
made 9 formidable demonstration. For
weeks the country was in state of siege
and the State militia were under arms in
nearly all the Eastern and Central States
The strike spread to the Pennsylvania
Central, Erie, Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern, Pittsburg and Ft. Wayne, Phila-
delphia and Reading, Lake Erie and about
ten other railroads The loss to both sides
was enormous, and property worth several
millions of dollars was destroyed. Pitts
burg was the center OF the struggle.
The Estimate of the Loss.
The Government estimate of the total
damage done in Pittsburg by the riot is
Sc, ,000, 900. The actual loss to the railroad
company exceeded So, 600, 900. The greater
part of this huge loss was saddled by the
courts upon Allegheny county.
Perhaps the most important strike after
that in Pittsburg was the one among the
employees of the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad, beginning on December 90, 1887.
The struggle began over the refusal of the
company officials to recognize the Knights
of Labor. Nearly 5000 men struck, and
their places were filled by the company.
The glass workers general strike Of 1887
broke out simultaneously in Philadelphia,
and other places, lasted $50 days
and cost over S495, 264
The big Carnegie strike of 1888 broke out
in the Edgar Thompson Steel Works, at
Braddock. On December %, 1888, the men
presented their annual scale, and on the
February Mr.. Carnegie formally
declined to sign it. A reduced scale was
proposed, but the Knights of Labor
Committee refused to accept it A con-
ference with Mr.. Carnegie was held in New
York. He offered fairly satisfactory scale,
,ut insisted on the men working IL hours.
This was refused by the men and the strike
,egan. The 1000 strikers remained out four
months and lost $500, 600 in wages In the
ollowing year QS9O) the Pittsburg puddlers
truck, and their strike cos. considerably
,ver S170, 900. The Turtle Creek miners also
rent out in 1890 and their strike cost
i1S0, 900.

Protested Against Less Wages.

Meanwhile, however, other branches of
organized labor did not possess their souls
in peace by any manner of means. The
spinners and weavers of Fall River, Mass
struck against the January reduction of Is
per cent in 1868 The strike lasted two
weeks, was partially successful and cost the
men SO, 900. Seventeen big strikes occurred
in 1868 and 1869, one of them being that of
the Workingmen's Benevolent Association
of Eastern Pennsylvania, which failed after
three months
The great railroad strike of 1877 began on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at Martins
burg, w. Va, its immediate cause being a
reduction of 10 per cent In wages This,
however, was but one of many grievances
Employment was irregular, wages were
often retained for weeks after payday, ex-
pense bills were not paid, and assessments
were even collected from trainmen on acci-
dents. There was rioting. destruction of
property and even loss of life at Martins
burg, Baltimore and in various parts of
Pennsylvania The State militia ct Martins

strikers, refused to fire upon them, lent

FIGHTING CATTLE THIEVES.
A Battle Between CLUSTERS"
and a Sherifs Posse.
The Casualties Were Heavy on
Both Sides.

A dispatch from Casper. Wyoming, says:
A man just in from Riverside reports that
the $50 deputies of Sheriff Angus attempted
to arrest the invading army of the rustlers
and killed twenty-eight Of them and lost
eighteen Of their own men.
Angus OF johnson County wired the
Sheriff Of Converse County. saying there had
been fight and directing him to arrest all
fugitives.
That day two horsemen came to ranch
near Douglas and tried to exchange their
faded horses for fresh ones. They said they
had been with the stockmens expedition
which went North.
One of the men had bullet wound in the
arm. Horses were refused and they pushed
on. Two deputy sheriffs followed. but the
trail was lost where the men fOrded the
Platte River. The authorities placed guards
at all the bridges and fords of the Platte
River west and north of Douglas.
Kid Donneily, of Powder River Crossing,
brought word to Antelope Springs, thirty
miles north of Douglas, that the stockmen
were camped on the Casper road, on North
Powder River, sixty miles north OF Casper.
Two men, Nate Champion and Ray, were
killed on Powder River.
Donnelly reports the rustlers as flying In
every direction and attempting to escape
from the country.
Fifty men were surrounded by 100 men
under Fred Hesse and Charles Ford at the
I. A. Ranch. Hundreds Of shots were ex-
changed. The fighting was done with Win
chesters Indian fashion, at long range:
The ''rustlers' are cattle thieves who have
conducted their operations systematically,
collecting large herds of cattle and running
them off to other States. They became so
bold that they warned cattlemen off their
own ranches and threatened to murder them
if they did not leave their own property un-
protected. This was too much for the stock
men.

SWEPT BY FLOODS,
Appalling Loss Of Life and Property in
the South

Appalling Loss of Life and Property in
the South
A dispatch from Columbus, Miss, says,
The recent heavy rains have swollen all
streams in this section of the country to a
point never before known, and as a result
the destruction of life and property has been
frlghtful. Ali farms along the Tombigbee
River valley have been abandoned, houses of
all kinds washed away. All fencing is gone
and cattle and mules by hundreds have been
drowned.
Many floating houses passed down the
river. Every available craft has been used
day and night relieving the sufferers car
rylng out food and bringing in the destitute
people. On one small mound there were forty
people and as many more cattle and mules.
On another there were seventy people and
cattle by the hundreds. The colored people
all the low lands have lost everything on
earth they had and there are hundreds of
them being fed by the city.
Twelve colored men have been drowned
within three miles Of this city. At points
on the river below here the loss of life is very
large. The railroads have abandoned all
trains westward and there are many wash
outs. The trestles are swept away and all
of the roads have large forces repairing
damages, but it will be a week before trains
will be running.
One rescuing party was upset, and three
cOlored boys were drowned three miles
above town. All the others climbed trees
and were found. Another rescuing party
upset and spent twenty three hours in
the trees
Seventy-five colored people are known to
have been drowned, and many more will be
found dead when the waters subside.
The greatest loss of life and injury
to property was along the line of
the Tombigbee River. This river is
not large enough in the dry season to
float a small steamboat but now it IS ten
miles wide. It's valley is extremely fertile,
and is thickiy populated. All of the planta-
tions along its border for four or five miles
are submerged from five to twenty feet
,, 60 great Is the devastation In Northern
Congressman Allen for assistance from the
general Government. The greatest suffer-
ingis among the colored people. Thirty is
the lowest estimate of the number of drowned
IN Alabama.

TOXIC SWEPT BY FIRE.
6OOO Houses Destroyed and Over
100 Persons Killed.

Advices from Japan report that Toxic, the
capital of the japanese Empire, has been
visited by most disastrous confagration,
involving great loss of life.
The fire appears to have spread
with great rapidity in the older
and more poorly built section of
the city, and did not cease until 5000 houses
were destroyed, making many thousands of
people homeless.
The police and the fire departments of
Toxic did excellent work, and succeeded in
saving the new portion OF the capital.
The loss of life was chiefly due to the
efforts of natives to save their effects. Many
of the people remained in their dwellings to
the last moment, gathering their belongings
for flight and were caught by the flames,
which licked up the unsubstantial structure
like paper. The firemen found great diff
Guilty in fighting the flames owing to the
half-crazed behavior Of the populace. The
number of dead is over one hundred.
Toxic or Ye1do, the capital of the JAP
anese Empire is situated ON the eastern end
of the Island of RoEdo, the main island of
the japanese group on tue Bay OF Yeddo.
The Tonogawa River divides TIE town into
two parts. The word Toxic in japanese
means city or port.
The town covers sixty sHuare miles of
ground, large portion of which is taken
up with gardens, temples, Sacred groves and
the like. The city PROPER is divided into
three districts: Slro. toe Imperial citadel.
surrounded by maze OF meats and en-
battlements; Soto-Siro the middle ground.
outside the citadel, but within the citv's
walls; Midi, the outer barts beyond which
extend a line of defenees The population
of Toxic is over 925, GOO.
