Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1894-05-17

monument erected to the memory of
Mary, mother of George Washington,
was dedicated and unveiled to-day.
The little town was gorgeOusly dec
grated in honor of the occasion, and
nature smiled her benediction upon
the proceedings through an azure sky
and bright sunshine. President Cleve-
land, accompanied by Vice-President
Stevenson, Secretary of State Gresham
and the other members of the cabinet,
Chief Justice Fuller and the associate
Justices of the supreme court, and fully
one-half of the membership of the
Senate and House, arrived early this
morning. The dedication was preceded
by procession of companies of mill
tary. municipal societies and visiting
civilians, which occupied nearly an
hour in passing a given point. When
the location of the monument had been
reached Gov. O'Ferrall delivered au
address of welcome to which Presi-
dent Cleveland made brief response.
In accordance with the request of the
board of lady managers the President
then assumed the chair and presided
over the subsequent proceedings. An
address in behalf of the descendants
of the immortal George was delivered
by Lawrence Washington, son of Angus
tine Washington, the favorite nephew
OF the first President, and who in
herited Mount Vernon and sold tito the
association which now owns it. AS the
American flag which had yelled the
monument was drawn aside, disclosing
the shaft to view, the Marine Band
from Washington rendered the Star
Spangled Banner and the spectators
cheered for several minutes. The
formal Grafton was delivered by United
States Senator John w. Daniel, and
was one Of the best efforts of that cele
brated orator. He said:
George Washington was the noblest figure
that ever stood in the forefront of a nations
litc. We are gathered to-day around his
mothers grave "All that | am, said he,

THOUSANDS QUIT THE WORKS.
Car Works Employees Demand a
Restoration of the Old
Wage Scale.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 1.-Two thousand
employees of the Pullman Palace Car
Company quit work to-day. Those who
went out asserted that the entire force
of 1900 people would be on strike be-
fore night. Trouble has been brewing
for some time, the men demanding the
restoration of 335 per ce Mt. cut in the
wages made last year. The officials of
the company refused the demand and
asserted that they were running the
plant at loss for the puT-
pose of giving the men employ
ment. Vice President Wickes and
other officers of the company were
at the works to- day investigating charges
made by the employees committee, and
they were entirely unprepared for the
sudden seriousness that the situation
had assumed. The men marched out
quietly in groups and for time the
officers thought that the strike was con-
fined to the disaffected few who had
ing for the decision of their
superiors. What had suddenly
precipitated the strike was not known,
as the men and company officers at
Pullman were not known to have had
a conference and matters were sup
posed to be in the condition in which
they were left at the close of the con-
ference Wednesday, when it was said
that the men decided not to strike.
The strike, it was ascertained this aft
ernoon, is the result of the meeting of
the mediation committee of the Board
of American Railway Union, which was
in session until o'clock this morn
ing at Kensington. The committee
advised the local unions to take a
vote on the subject of striking and after
wards heard that the decision had
reached the offices Of the company and
that the latter had decided to shut
down the works atnoon to-day. Rather
than be laid off the local unions de-
cided to 90 on strike. Word was passed
around to this effect as soon as the men
assembled at the shops.
It is claimed that three Of the confer
ence committee who worked insthe iron
shops were laid off for being on the
committee, and this fact also had a
great effect on the men.

One Officer of the British Cruiser
Galatea Killed and Another
Injured.

EDINBURGH, May PA terrible acct
dent occurred to-day on board the

fired an explosion occurred. Instructor
Lawrence's head was blown to pieces,
and Instructor Whitehead's arm was
blown off at the elbow. Two members
of the crew were slightly injured. Ac-
cording to report the charge for the gun
