TO REJECT THE PROPOSITION.

Railroad Employees VIII Not Consent to
a Reduction Of Ten Per Cent. In Their
Wages.
CHICAGO. Aug. 22-The proposition Of
the railroad managers to the employees
for reduction Of 10 per cent. in wages
until the hard times are over will be
generally rejected when the committee of
general managers meet September to
receive the reply Of the various organi-
cations of railroad employees.
The employees have been thoroughly
polled by committees appointed for that
purpose. The committees are now re
turning to the city and all report the
same result, refusal Of the reduction
proposed.
A representative switchman says
''The switchmen will not accept the re
duction under any circumstances. We
know what a reduction means. For
years we have fought to get wages up
to the present standard and to allow the
railroads to reduce the wages now would
be suicidal.
"The proposition is too indefinite They
ask reduced wages for no specified time.
The next three months is the busiest
season. At the end Of that time business
will again decrease and request for q
reinstatement of the present scale
would be refused" "

The Great PAGER May Never BE Able to
Race Again.
BUFFALO Aug. 90 1t is possible that
the racing days of the champion PAGER
Mascot are over. The free for. all pace
at the Buffalo meeting demonstrated
that something was wrong with him and
the race at Fort Wayne on Saturday was
further proof of this. After the fourth
heat in the latter event, Mascot was
drawn, his driver. Andrews, declaring
that the gelding was totally unfit to
finish tue race.
An examination by veterinary sur
geon disclosed the fact that Mascot had
foundered, and the intelligence was tele-
graphed Saturday night to his owner,
w. p. Taylor, of Buffalo. 1t is seldom
that horse ever RECEIVERS from this all
ment If an aggravated form, and it is
feared that Mascot has gone his last
race.
Mascot is a fne-looking. medium sized
bay gelding. foaled in 1889 He was
bred by Michael Kenna, of wilma, JEFF
ferson county. New York. His sire was
Deceive, and his dam was a highly
finished handsome gray mare by Aus

direct male line from Ogden's Messenger.
Mascot won the title of King of

PLOT TO BURN HOUSES OF WORSHIP.

People In the Town OF Dover in a Fever
of Excitement over the Peculiar
Mania Of a FIre-bug.
DOVER, N. H.. Aug. 22-This town
is in fever of excitement over what
seems to be plot to burn all the houses
of worship in the city. Saturday night
the beautiful Belknap memorial church
was discovered on FIRE. Though damaged
to the extent of several thousand dol
lars the structure was saved for the
time being. Scarcely had the 6remen
returned to their quarters, however,
when the church was again in flames
The first fire originated back of the
door at $50 o'clock, and the second in
the belfry shortly after midnight. 1t
was found that the lower portion of
the building had been filled with dry
wood and this saturated with coal oil.
The second fCe almost complet ed the
ruin of the property.
A third alarm was rung before day
light and again house of worship, the
Parish Baptist Church. was found to be
on fire Before the flames were sub.
dued the structure was in ruins. Here,
too, the odor of kerosene was strong.
Yesterday an investigation was made,
when it was found that preparations had
been made to fire the M. E. Church, the
most magnificent of its kind in town.
The Advent Church had also been visited
by the incendiary and large quantity Of
infiammable material had been iplaced IL
readiness for the torch. In the Advent
Church the carpets. seats and cushions
had been saturated with OIL At all the
other churches in the town 1t was founC
that plans more or less elaborate haC
been laid by the frebug. Each edific'
had its pile of rubbish and the carpets
were saturated with oil.
The police have several clues whicl
they are following, and several person
are under strict police surveillance. Tn
general opinion is that some monomania
is doing the work. Another theory
advanced by the radical temperanc
people. who say the liquor element is re
sponsible This theory is believed in b
very few, however.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The feeding of

The number of hungry is constantly
increasing.
Saloon Keeper Kllnkowstein on East
Broadway who has been feeding between
/, 500 and 1000 people. has again re-
sumed the work of charity to day with
a much larger crowd than before at his
door,
His example has been followed by
others on a smaller scale. Klinkowstein
received a large quantity of food supplies
from grocers, butchers and others to-day,
to aid him, and several wealthy citizens
sent checks and cash and letters, COM
mending the good work.
Relief commit tees are at work in al.
most every ward and in no case will any
one be allowed to starve. The number
Of unemployed has been greatly exagger-
ated.
Few factories and big industrial es-
tablishments in this city have closed
down and the greater number Of those
out of work are from other cities, hav.
ing drifted to New York in the hope of
lettering their condition.
The clothing trade, which furnishes
employment to the thousand of worsers
in their homes, is demoralized, however,
and the idle in this trade are numerous.
