SO the faint footprints
Sl of crossing fox or
G&s-1~$ coon, was now, be-
fore high noon, al
ready crushed, beaten down and tram
pied out of all semblance of its former
solitude. The heavy, springless jolt of
gun carriage and caisson had deeply cut
through the middle track, the hoofs of
crowding cavalry had struck down and
shredded the wayside vines and bushes
to bury them under a cloud of follow
ing dust, and the dull, plunging double
quick of infantry had trodden out this
hideous ruin into one dusty level chaos.
Along that rudely-widened highway,
useless muskets, torn accoutrements,
knapsacks, caps and articles of clothing
were scattered, with here and there the
larger wrecks of broken-down wagons,
roughly thrown aside into the ditch to
make way for the living current. For two
hours the greater part of an army corps
had passed and repassed that way, but,
coming or going, always with faces
turned eagerly towards an open slope
on the right which ran parallel to the
lane. And yet nothing was to be seen
there. For two hours gray and blue
ish cloud, rent and shaken with explo-
sion after explosion, but always closing
and thickening after each discharge,
was all that had met their eyes. New
ertheless, into this ominous cloud solid
moving masses of gray or blue had that
morning melted away, or emerged
from it only as scattered fragments that
crept, crawled, ran or clung together in
groups, to be followed and overtaken
in the rolling vapor.
For the last half hour, also, the
desolated track had stretched empty
and deserted. While there was no
cessation of the rattling, cracking and
explosions on the fateful slope beyond,
it had still been silent Once or twice
it had been crossed by timid, hurrying
wings, and frightened and hesitating
little feet, or later by skulkers and
stragglers from the main column who
had boldly entered it from the hedges
and bushes where they had been creep
ing and hiding. Suddenly prolonged
yell from the hidden slope beyond-the
nearest sound that had yet been heard
from that ominous distance-sent them
TO cover again. 1t was followed by the
furious galloping of horses in the lane,
and handsome red-capped officer, ac-
companied by an orderly, dashed down
the track, wheeled, leaped the hedge,
rode out on the slope and halted. In
another instant a cloud of dust came
whirling down the lane after him. Out
of it strained the heavy shoulders and
frightened chain traces of six frantic
horses dragging the swaying gun that
in this tempest of motion alone seemed
passive and helpless with an awful
foreknowledge of it's power. AS in
obedience to a signal from the officer it
crashed through the hedge after him,
sudden jolt threw an artillery man
from the timber before the wheel. A

THE PACE THAT KILLS.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Feb 28.-In the early
hours of yesterday morning, at the
hospital, all alone in her room, the soul
of Kate Brewer passed into the night of
eterl ity. 1t is the old story of Ofbetrayal,
ruin, degregadatiOn and death. The cir
cumstanceS of her sickness are too hor-
rible to be put in print. There is no
language to depict the kind of human
beings that led to her last debauch and
to her death. There are two of the
Brewer girls, sisters, who have been
about this city for some time. Kate
showed the effects of the life she was
leading. while her sister is good looking
and stylish. About week ago Kate
and girl named May Belts went to the
room of a young man IN one of the busi-
ness houses of the city, unknown to the
business tenants of the block. Another
room in the SaT1e building is the resort
of a notorious gang of gamblers and
tOughs. Saturday night some of the
frequenters of the gambling room were
in company with the girl Kate and she
was made beastly drunk and Sunday
she was left in a cold room in a half
unconciOuS condition. The result was
that nature could stand no more and
Sunady evening she was taken to the
hospital and found to be almost dying
from severe attack of pneumonia.
She was given the best medical assist
ance and all that the matron and nurses
could do was willingly performed. But
the work was done and Kate Brewer is
dead.

TOLEDO, April Ask a Lake Shore or
Ann Arbor striker what he thinks of the
decisions, and he will probably reply, "Oh,
l dunno" These two words Just about ex-
press the general situation here at the pres
ent time. A great many seem of the opin-
Ion that the railroads have got the best of
the deal inasmuch as the injunction against
Arthur has been made perpetual.
Both cases will be appealed at once to
the courts of last resort The contempt
case will be taken to the supreme court on
the ground that the defendant Lennon was
not properly notified of the proceedings;
that he was not subp9naed according to
law; that he had not seen the order of the
court or understood its import, and that
the court has no jurisdiction in the matter,
the plaintiffs both being corporations or
ganized under the laws of Michigan and
there being no federal questions involved
The case against Chief Arthur will be ap-
pealed to the circuit court of appeals on the
grounds that no evidence has been pro-
duced to show that the defendant was in
any way guilty of conspiracy or that he
invited any of his men to engage in con.
spiracy against the roads in question

APPEAL FOR ARTHUR
THE CHIEF OF THE BROTHERHOOD
NOT DONE FIGHTING YET.

Vice President Ashley Says the Engineers
Ought to See Their Error Now-Gompers
Says the Judges Must Be Enlightened.
The Situation In Toledo.
New YORK, April 4.-The decision of
Judge Taft concerning the Lake Shore en-
gineers who refused to handle Ann Arbor
freight was variously received in various
quarters. The decision declared that the
whole Brotherhood of Engineers was
conspiracy against the law of the country,
and that Chief Arthur, as the head of that
organization, was responsible.
When Chief Arthur was asked in Cleve-
land what he intended to do in view of the
fact that the decision of the United States
district court had been against the men he
represents, Mr.. Arthur smiled and l:
cts all right. / don't know what we will
do now. / have not given the matter
moments thought. But the engineers will
be all right in any event.
'The court does not seem to understand
what my duties are. l have not got such
jurisdiction over the men as the court may
think. l have no authority to order a
strike. The men settle all these matters
by vote and merely give my consent If 1

eyes, so notice, but the dispatch does
not say what they are going to do with the
man. just wait until we hear further par
ticulars and we may know more about
what can be done in the matter"
Vice President James n. Ashley of the
Toledo, Ann Arbor and North Michigan
railroad said in New York:
"The decision does not SURPRISE me in the
least, as under the common law boycotting
is illegal, and the refusal to handle freight
from a road because there is strike there
is boycotting. Now that this decision has
been given the men know that by following
rule IL of their bylaws they are disobeying
the law"
Samuel Gompers, president of the FEEDER
alton of Labor, said:
"The time has passed when by decision
of judge workingmen may be made a
part of the soil on which they labor or be
tied to conditions which are irksome to
them. They will continue to demand their
rights until they force judges to entertain
a more enlightened opinion as to their pur-
poses -
