DESPERATE ENCOUNTER
In Which Bridgewater Burglar Comes
Of Second Best.


BRIDGEwATER, Mass, April 29-There
was a desperate encounter Saturday morn
ing at the residence of Mrs. L. c. Fiske,
who occupies what is known as the Bass
estate, near Scotland, in this place, and
as result a young man in the prime of
early manhood is lying paralyzed in the
station house here suffering from severe
cut on the head and an injury to the
spinal column.
Soon after 9 o'clock in the morning
there was the sound of some one in the
apartments of Mrs. Fiske. and without
delay she sounded an alarm which
aroused her son, who sleeps in an adjoin-
ing room.
Young Fiske is not at all lacking in
courage, and as soon as he arrived on the
scene, partially clothed. he took in the
situation at a glance, and demanded that
the fellow throw up his hands, at the
same time holding his hand behind him
rs if it contained revolver.
The fellow was so evidently taken by
surprise that he did not delay in follow
ing the injunctions of Mr.. Fiske. but,
with hands in the air, he awaited the de-
sire of his captors Hastily gatheridg to-
gether quite an amount of money ana
other vaIuables, Mrs. Fiske ran to neigh
boris house, and John N. Black re-
sponded as soon as possible.
He had no weapon beyond an ordinary
poker which lie hastily grasped from the
stove He ~ once went to the tlske
house, and there the trouble was found.
1t seems that the burglar had become
tired of holding his hands in mid air, and
they were lowered at Just about the time
that Mr. Black appeared on the scene.
Not waiting for any parley or any
words, the fellow was hit on the head
with the poker, and, as Mr.. Black is q
powerful man, the blow took effect mt
once and the man fell as if shot. lie was
then bound and messenger sent to the
village for Officer Henry J.. King. He
was soon on hand. and the fellow was
taken to the village, where he was placed
in the station house.
1t was seen that he was suffering from
a wound on the head. from which the
blood flowed quite freely. He also ap-
peared to be partially paralyzed from the
effects of the bow, and DR.. G. II. Wat
son of this town WAS sent for.
He was unable to tell exactly what the
effects of the injuries would be, but he
thought that the man was very badly
hurt and that his condition was danger
Gus. He is unable to lift his head from
the pillow, and he suffers extreme pain.
while he is unable to articulate so as to
be understood.
A reporter saw him and learned that
his name was John Wilson. and he is
either unable to tell or will not where
he came from or where he resides. He is
a well built man. about 81 years of age. of
fair personal appearance, and was well
dressed.
He hid on his person when arrested
several razors, q pawn ticket, and quite
an amount of jewelry, which are now in
the hands OF the officers.

WERE NOT CONSULTED.
House Leaders Ignorant of Terms of
Compromise Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-The Democratic
tariff leaders of the house have not been
consulted upon the tariff compromise
made among Democratic senators. Lead
ing members of the ways and means COM
mittee do not even know the terms of the
compromise Representative Breckin-
ridge Of Arkansas. Montgomery, Bynum,
Bryan and Turner of the committee,
made statements to this effect, and most
of the other Democratic members of the
committee are out of town. Representa-
tive Montgomery conversed yesterday
with the tariff senators, but could not
learn that any formal compromise had
been reached.
A leading member Of the ways and
means committee said that the lack of
information among the house leaders
showed that the senators were shaping
their bill to the needs of the senate with
out reference to the standing it might
have in the house. From this it is con-
cluded that the senators will pass their
bill in their own way and depend on a
conference committee to protect the
changes they have made from further
alteration by the house.

GREAT NORTHERN STRIKE.
Knights Of Labor to be Called Out-Road Off
Gals Not Alarmed.

ST.. PAUL, Mimi, April 30 A telegram
from Chicago stating Grand Master Work
man Sovereigns would call ont the Knights OF
Labor along the Great Northern Line was
shown President Hill last evening. He said
According to the statements of the
American Railway Union representatives,
all employees in the operating depart
ment of the Great Northern are
out on a strike. If this is strictly
true, the people now being
called out must be mythical men,
The company has nothing 20 fear from this
new complication. 1t will proceed to oper-
ate the road with all possible speed. The
engineers and firemen will return to their
places at once, and the telegraph operators
have been ordered back. After the next
10 days the Great Northern will have no
need of the men who voluntarily surren-
dered their places"
At Labor hall number of employees OF
the Great Northern discussed the Sovereign
orders. They did not think the order woul
amount to much except TO take out an occa
sional man from the shops or offices.

SITUATION UNCHANGED.
First Week of the Great Coal Strike
Ended -Entnre Prospects.

EnuRu NTo~peSts
PHILADELPHIA. April 29.-The situation
in the mining regions mt the end of the
first week of the big strike remains prac-
tically unchanged. Advices received this
morning from the mining districts east OF
the Allegbenies are to the effect that not
a mine is inNoperaton, with the single ex-
ception of a small mine near Osceola,
which employs hut 100 men.
The reports also state that the supply
of coal is fast becoming exhausted. The
miners claim that the strike can last but
few davs longer, and many Of the oper-
ators ole they will not openly confess
that such is the case. intimate that it
would be better policy to accede to the
demands of the strikers and make a small
profit. rather than keep their mines closed
and lose all of the orders which they have
received.
The general opinion seems to be that
the strike will not last through another
week. There is already some talk Of q
compromise, and it is believed that an
understanding will be reached between
the miners and the operators without con,
sulting the president of the United Mine
Workers association.

In shape TO pledge all the candidates as
coon as the coming campaign begins. On
the one hand 1t is charged that by fasorit
ism Of one sort or another employees had
been forced into the war department until
there was one for every 81 soldiers in the
service, and on the other that many of the
oldest and best clerks have been discharged
at the very worst possible time for them
and at an age when it is impossible for
them to acquire new profession. All this
brings mp the old proposition of pension
for thestirsl clerks of many years service,
and that will probably be the next frill Of

aid says, is likely to he held at P.usburg.
James w. Ellsworth, one of those who
attended the conferences, said he believed
the strike would be of short duration
as the proposition soon to be be submiue
to the miners would be acceptable to them.
