The outlook for the working class
for the coming winter Is decidedly
gloomy. Hundreds OF worlimen are
now idle, walking the streets, hoping
that something will turn up, and their
number ie being increased every week.
Quite n number OF mechanics hnye
secured employment In Philadelphia
at Cramps shipyard. but as the wages
are low 1t scarcely leaves them sntil-
cient, otter paying board III Phlladel-
phla and their fare up and down once
a week. to support their families here.
Business instead Of showing any signs
OF improvement seems to be growing
worse and worse, and II Is difficult TO
tell what those who are now unem-
ployed will do this coming winter.
! One man who is good mechanic
told a reporter yesterday that he has
been without work two months and
although he had tried hard he was un-
able to get anything to do. Whom
thrown out of work he had saved q
little money to PRO vide against such
nn emergency but that was almost ex-
hausted now, and when 1t Is all gone
he said he did not know what he and
his family would do. There IRE scores
OF Just such cases now In the summer
and what will 1t be IN the winter? Still
there were many workman not salts.

The authorities think they have the
man who Is responsible for the many
raids which have been perpetrated
upon hen coops OF late, and Special
Onlcer Sherer deserves great credit
for the arresting OF the supposed man.
There are three charges that can be
proven against him thus far. Last
night Thomas Sharp reported TO the
officer that his coop had been raided
and three chickens taken.
lilo also received word from Thomas
Reynolds that no had missed eighteen
fine fowls. Ex-Sherir William Sim
mons. by whom jackson was employ
ed, had previously reported TO the
olllce that two sets OF harness, three
brides and two lap robes were taken
from his stable.

from jackson about elk months ago.

clearer that Jackson was the man
wanted.
Inst evening the officer stationed
himself near Mr.. Sharp'5 stable. on
Morrow street, and just alter dark
heard the chickens making considera-
BILE noise. On entering the stable he
found no one about, but in short
| time Mr.. Sharp entered and notified

| Upon making an examination three OF
the missing chickens were found. jack

Sherer started to work again on the
case this morning, when he learned
from j. NJ. Jester, the French street
| liveryman. that Jackson had sold to
him two sets of harness and eighteen
chickens, which he had eaten and sold.
Tho three chickens which had been
stolen from Mr.. Sharp's COOP last

The prisoner does not bear q very
good reputation, he having served

Wero damned Aimast TO suilocniion.
The annual excursion OF the Chris
tim Endeavor Society OF Asbury
Church to Bay Ridge yesterday was
greatly mnrred by the conduct OF q Few
Baltimore rowdies who were aboard
the boat and created panic on the
return trip.
The handsome steamer Columbia
carried the excurslonists, which num-
bered $500, there being three excur-
slona from Baltimore aboard. About
twenty minutes after tho steamer had
left the pier ut Bay Ridge a heavy
storm arose. The hurricane deck was
crowded with passengers, and when
the rain began to fall they crowded to
the second deck.
Hardly had they been seated than
one of the. engines broke. The on
gineer and captain assured all that
there was no danger, as the second en-
glnes had been started and every
thing was working well. By this tune
n crowd OF rowdies had also entered
the saloon from the first deck. and OF
learning that the engines had broker
ono OF them started the cry of fire.
Men and children ran to the bow o.
the boat screaming as they ran, whit
others We're trampled upon as they
were knocked down by tho excited
crowd. IL was half an hour beror'
order was restored. One child re
ceived n broken arm while nearly al
received bruises. 4 number of womel
tainted also.
When peace was restored, an effor
