TowED BY a BIG BERG.
The Drift Ice Was Going His Way and
He Made Fast to 1t.

He Made Fast TO 1t.
The ingenuity of Captain Chase of
the bark E. o. Clark, which arrived at
Philadelphia few days ago from
Greenland, has earned for him the
proud distinction of being the first
sailing master to make his vessel fast
to an iceberg and allow it to pull him
toward his destination without sail
being set. The bark sailed from Ivig-
tut, a port on the southwest coast Of
Greenland for Philadelphia.
For three days after leaving Ivigtut
she was surrounded on all sides by
monster icebergs, but they soon be-
came lost to sight in dense fog, and
it was then that the skill of master
mariner was brought into play and
thoroughly tested. Captain Chase and
his crew of ten men were kept con-
stantly on the alert, and the vessel
beat to and fro until the fog lifted.
Then the most dangerous ice was seen
well astern, and the ship was out Of
immediate danger. For six days
afterward huge bergs were in sight,
but far enough away to preclude the
possibility of collision. Drift ice was
sighted having been driven off shore
by a northeast wind. 1t was drifting
almost in the direct course which the
Clark was endeavoring to pursue.
The vessel was soon on the outer
edge of an immense field of ice, which
extended in a northeasterly direction,
AT far as the eye could reach, with an
occasional berg reaching high
into the air. On the other side was
the clear water. The Clark was soon
caught in the drift, and was so firmly
held in the ice that she was carried
many miles on her course, a line hav-
ing been made fast to one of the bergs
to keep her steady. For several days
all hands enjoyed the novel experience
of being towcd by an iceberg. but
finally the wind began to change
the direction of the drift Then the
rope was cut, the sails were set, and
the vessel freed herself, and in few
days was clear out of the Arctic cur
rent. The rest of the journey was de.
void of special interest

JUSTICE HARLAN REVERSE HIS
FAMOUS STRIKE DECISION.
EMPLOYEES HAVE RIGHT TO STRIKE.
Acting as Head of the Court of appeals,
He Renders Decision of Deep In
tsrest to Workingmen Severely
CrIticises Judge jenkins In
junction Order - Wood
and Bum COncurr.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-In the United
States court of appeals to-day Justice
Harlan of the United States supreme
court, reading the opinion, the IA
nous strike injunction of Judge Jen-
kins was rather severely handled
Justice Harlan held that a body Of
men had a right to quit irrespective
of the discomfort which might result.
They had, however, no right to con-
spire to do damage or to embarrass.
He did not agree with Judge Jenkins
famous definition of strike, that it
was necessarily illegal, but held that
there was such thing as a legal
strike.
Judge Jenkins injunction was mod
lied. Judges Wood and Bum con-
Cured.
That part of the Jenkins Injunction
which restrained the employees of a
railroad from striking, or, in the Ian
guage of thein injunction, from so quit
ting the service of the said receivers,
with or without notice, as to cripple
the property or prevent or hinder the
operation of the road, the court of
appeals declares was a violation of the
rights of the employees, who could not
legally be restrained from leaving the
employ of the company when they
might see fit to do so, whether they
quit in body or individually. That
part of the injunction which restrained
the employees from entering into a
combination or conspiracy to quit with
intention of Gripping the property
and preventing the operation of the
road is sustained.
On the whole the decision, which
was read by Justice Harlan, who pre-
sided over the court, is clear recog-
milton of the right of the employees to
strike.

Makes Peculiar Confession,


Makes Pecniiar Confession,
NEW YORK., Oct. 3.-When the Lexow
committee resumed its Investigations
into the police department yester-
day, after a two weeks vaea-
ton, Major William H. KIM,
chief clerk at the police headquarters,
was called as the 8rst witness, having
been subp9naed to produce the
papers in the cases of Captain Doher-
ty and others dismissed from the force
in the last two months, and asked by
MIR. Golf why the cases against Levy,
Mallon and Mayer, the papers in
which are marked mot served" had
not been pushed.
Il understand" replied Mr.. Kipp,
that Mr.. Wellman was not ready to
proceed in those cases."
Questioned regarding the resolu-
ton recently passed by the police
commissioners abolishing the office of
wardmen, Kipp replied that the reSo-
luton was not passed before the COM
missioners had assured themselves
that many wardmen had been used
by their captains to collect blackmail.
Mr.. Golf established the fact that
all the members of the police force
found guilty of immoral practices

charges in some instances having
been dismissed with mild reprimands.
When the investigation was re-
sumed to-day fifty policemen who had
been concerned in clubbing cases
were present and Mr.. Golf scored
them sharply, charging them with
wilful violation of the law and with
perjury. Layer Moss, consul for the
Parkhurst society, then told of the
efforts of property owners associa-
ton to purify a block. Captain
Williams had sent ward officer to
the meetings of the association to tell
them to drop their work or he would
club them out of the district. Moss
said he replied: $50 tell your captain
we will explode a can of dynamite if
he tackles u.s." Williams had been
arrested in July, 1887, but. although
the evidence was strong and com
plete, he was acquitted on tie vote.

Miss Belle White Dies While Being Oper-
ated on for Face BlemisheS.
CHICAGO, Oct. Belle White, %
years of age, daughter of Benjamin
s. White, wealthy lumberman. died
at Woods hotel yesterday morning
about 10 o'clock while under treat
ment for the removal of facial blem-
isles Death was caused, it is sup
posed, by the use of cocoaine to
deaden the pain from the application
of an electric current which constj-
tuted the means of treatment. The
operator was DIR. Sophie Santa Of the
DIR. Sophie Santa company. Eliza A.
James, the business partner of DR..
Santa, was assisting in the operation
at the time. In one hand DR.. Santa
held the electric needle and in the
other a sponge saturated with a four
per cent solution of coo oaine, which
she applied at intervals to deaden the
intense pain caused by the needle,
She had almost completed the treat
ment, when MISS White gaSped for
breath, and before the operator could
assist her, she slid from the chair to
the floor, dead. Aid was hastily sum
moned and restoratives applied, but
without avail, the young woman hav-
ing died almost instantly. DR.. Tall
man, the only physician called, arrived
too late to be of any assistance, and
as the people in room II, where the
dead girl lay, acted in rather
strange manner, he informed the po-
lice and DR.. Santa. with her assist
ants were locked up until the exact
cause of the young woman's death is
known. There is no thought how
ever, that the death was the result of
anything but an accident.
