THRlFTlEST MAN IN NEW YORK.
A Ticket Chopper Who Is Saving Money L
Phenomenal Fashion.

A Ticket Chopper Who Ts Saving Money In
Phenomenal Fashion.
There are some men with whom thrift
and miserliness are synonymous, but the
humble hero of this tale can scarcely be
called even penurious, despite the fact
that in 10 years, out of a salary Of
$40. so week, he has accumulated over
SO, 900, all of which is drawing at least
per cent interest.
When the 81" roads were completed
and the ticket chopping machines placed
in position, he of whom this is written
received charge of one at an up town
station during the night hours. Since
the day be went on his post, he has new
er taken or asked for as much as an
hours leave of absence. Seven days each
week and 50 weeks each year has he
continuously worked the handle Of his
machine up and down, receiving there.
for the munifcent sum of 81. so day
Out of this he has by rigid economy laid
by 81 every "a hours. The remaining so
cents has fed, clothed and lodged him.
While waiting for a train the Other
night I asked him how he had done it,
thinking Of my modest dinner that had
cost me moro than his days earnings
''This way" no said as he ground my
ticket into shapeless mass. "In the
first place, I never use tobacco or liquor

''How have you got your money in

"Some of it is in savings banks and
the rest in good securities. Queer, isn't

A Successful Effort to Move Trains at

SPRINGFIELD. Ill. June 30.-Col. Hugh
Bayle, assistant adiutant general, who
was sent to Cairo last night by Governor
A,tgeld. autographed this evening that
an agreement had been reached that all
trains would start as soon as the Illinois

CAIRO, Ill.,, June 30.--At conference
between Captain Boyle. the railroad
officials and the A. r. U. tonight, an
arrangement was arrived at whereby
trains were permitted to proceed. 1t is
reported that the brakemen of the
Illinois Central resign as individuals and
thereby do not involve their brother
hood in the strike. The situation here

quately protected from rioters. Ae re-
suit OF this move, the Illinois Central
presented the unique spectacle OF road
that was only running trains that had
Pullmans attached during etrike
againet the use OF these cars, for many OF
its through trains we're sent out.
The Fort WayEe road was tied up this
morning, and the St. Paul will be again
tied up at & tonight. The strikers say
that the latter road has not lived up to
it's agreement to sidetrack its Pullman
cars, but is using them on another line.
All OF the switchmen are out at ths
stockyards and the packers are prepar-
ing to shut down.
The Santa Fs reports its condition Sc
unchanged since Yesterday, and the Bur

places of the strikers, and nays it is not
badly crippled.
The Baltimore and Ohio reports that
it is getting all its trains in and out, but
that its engineers are instructed to be
cautious, and for that reason the traine
do not arrive on time.
Outside OF Chicago the GREATEST trouble
in Illinois is at Cairo. In addition to
the Illinois Central trains held there,
the Big Four was tied up there today,
and none OF its trains can get through.
There has been rioting there, and the
governor has expressed his willingness
to send troops there as soon as they are
called for by the proper officials.
A still worse etate OF affairs exists at
Hammond, Ind, where mob 10 in con-
troll. Troops have bcen asked for, but
Governor Matthews Gays he does not
consider the situation serious enough to
require their presence.
The heads of both the opposing forces
are straining every nerve in Chicago.

officials of the Federation OF Labor, try
ing to get their support, but they have
not the authority to order strike, even
if they desired to. He Ia confident, but
no more 80 than Mr.. Egan, who repre-
SCENTS the managers.
Mr.. Egan is doing every thing in his
power to arrange for the movement OF
trains. The main issue at present ia to
get protection for them. He has applied
TO Sheriff Gilbert for protection in some
instances and to the United States mar.
shall in others. The marshal has been
called upon for deputies to protect the
mail trains on every road in the city,
and is swearing them in and assigning
them to their work as rapidly rs pos
slble. Instructions from Washington
are that the mails must be protected
and that Marshal Arnold must see to it.
The whole trouble has apparently be-
come a war of annihilation between the
General Managers association and the
American Railway union. Debs has an
nounced that he intends to disrupt that
association and will not treat with any
road that remains member OF it. On
the other hand the managers are saying
nothing, nut know If they defeat the
American Railway union, the end OF
Mr.. Debs and the union is assured.
Debs is fighting for his existence as a
labor leader now. That is the only
point at issue, to all appearances.

Violence Has Become the Feature Of
tho Strike.
CHICAGO, June 30.-The Post Hummar-
ICES the strike as follows:
Violence has become the feature Of
the A. R. U. strike on almost all the
roads centering in Chicago. President
Debs from his headquarters talks peace,
while his men are derailing trains,
smashing windows and stoning train
men and passengers. Ths result is that
there is more complete tie-up than
any time since the strike was begun. In
many instances no attempt is made to
take out trains that are made up because
of lack Of protection for passengers and
crews, but there has been no weakening
on the part of the General Managers
association. 1t realizes that the supreme
test of the strength has come, but
it claims that the test is now
between the government and the riot
ers. 1t is ready to run traina if protec-
ton ia given them, and that is a matter
for the regularly constituted officials to
attend to. 1t is no longer matter Of
handling the trains, but of observing
the peace, and Sheriff Gilbert and
United States Marshal Arnold are the
ones who are working today. Both adj
NIT that the situation is critical, and
both claim to bs doing all in their power
to maintain order. Both have sworn in
large number of deputies. Both are
fearful that they may have to call on
other and higher authority for assist
ance before tomorrow morning. Sheriff
Gilbert says he thinks he has enough
men to preserve order as matters now
stand, but admits that the situation ie
extremely critical and that he may have
to call for troops before the trouble
spreads.
MarshalsArnold'H instructions are that
the mail trains must not be interfered
with, and he says that it has got past
the point when the governments mere
ly interested in the running OF trains on
| the roads in the hands OF receivers
that Uncle Sans interests are involved
| in the striks on every one OF the roads,
and he proposes to protect those inter
eats at all hazards. He has been drawn
into the trouble and appearances indi-
cate that he is going to take an active
hand in the affair.
The strike itself 10 spreading with
startling rapidity and is almost every
hour accompanied by acts of violence,
1t threatens now to include the cable
and elevated roads, although there is nc
known reason why the men in these
roads should 60 out, unless Debs' inten-
ton is to declare war on the public.
The Rock Island strike which wal
promised yesterday began this morning
when the local men went out, and ct Il
O'Clock President Debs issued an orde
to tie up the entire system. Every mar
over whom he has authority was ordered
to quit work, no matter at what point o
the road he was employed. This wal
preceded By riotous demonstrations q
Blue Island avenue last night, wher
switches were spiked and men driver
