He touched briefly on the Pullman

Mrs. Annie Diggs followed Gov. Waite
with an exeoriation of George NJ. Pull

take up a collection for the strikers.
The proposition was regarded as good
one, and something like 500 was raised.

LABOR DEMONSTRATION.
A Big Meeting Held at Cooper Union, New
York.


York.
NEW YORK, July 13.-The labor dem
onstration held last night in Cooper
Union to express sympathy with the
strikers in Chicago and the west was
an extraordinary outpouring of people.
The hall was crowded to excess and
5000 people surrounded the building,
unable to get in.
The resolutions adopted commended
the decisive action of the American
Railway union in demanding arbitra-
ton. Little sympathy was expressed
with violence, but the resolutions de-
manded the removal of conditions pro-
vocative of violence.
The government was declared to be
in the interest of corporations and con-
spring against the liberty and civil
rights of citizens.
The senate was denounced for rush
ing to the defense of monopolies and
corporations in the sacred name of lib
erty. The protection of the mail SER
vice was declared mere pretext, and
as private corporations have shown
their inability to perform their duty as
public carriers, consequently congress
is asked to nationalize the railways.
sympathy was extended to the people
of California and congress is asked to
foreclose the nations mortgages on the
Pacific railroads.
In conclusion the workingmen were
called upon to use their political rights.

CHICAGO, July 13.-United States
Deputy Marshal Peter Fische and an
11-year-old boy, Andrew Gregory, were
fatally wounded last night in fusilade

unknown person had placed on the
Illinois Central tracks several tor

rushed out from the cars in which
they were sleeping, on opposite sides
of the track. They seemed ratified by
the unexpected incident and began
discharging revolvers recklessly and
with the result named above.
Two deputy United States marshals
met their deaths, and two others were
more or less injured yesterday after
noon in a collision of freight trains on
the Wisconsin tracks near Sixteenth
and Jackson streets crossing. Two
locomotives and several cars were
wrecked in the accident, and the three
story brick warehouse of Smith, Bur-
kett & Co., was partially destroyed.

sible and such spirit should actuate
all laboring organizations. At no
time during the Pullman boycott was
there any danger of sympathetic
strike on the part of the brotherhood
of locomotive firemen, and all talk to
that effect was by persons not familiar
with the brotherhood laws He was
sorry for those brotherhood firemen
who had gone out of their own accord
and had lost their jobs, but they knew
the consequences when they struck, as
the firemen's organization had no
trouble whatever with any of the rail-
roads.
Sargent said that he was personal
friend of Debs and admitted his hon
esty of purpose and his intellectual
ability, but declared that he made a
mistake in ordering on this sympa-
thetic strike of the American Railway
union. What effect it would have on
Debs' own organization he could not
say. One effect it might have for
awhile would be to make it harder for
all railway organizations to get con-
cessions from the companies.

1890 o'clock, thus declaring that so far
as they were concerned the strike was
at an end.
The action of the council of the Fed
Grafton of Labor supplemented by that
of the Building Trades assembly last
night is accepted universally as the
death blow of the Pullman boycott.
The railroads are taking back their
old employees who have been quiet dur
ing the trouble, but they are not dis
charging any of the men who were
employed to take the places of the
strikers, and such as are re-employed
are taken back as individuals. 1t ne
sessarily follows that a number of the
strikers find themselves unable to
secure reinstatement, and these are
insisting upon a continuance of the
struggle

morning at the opening exercises of
the International Christian Endeavor

The exercises to-day consisted of two
tremendous mass meetings. One was
held in Saengerfest hall and the other
in big tent in the eastern part of the
city.
The address of welcome was deliv.

was in very flourishing condition and
with an ever increasing membership
almost phenomenal in proportion.
The growth of the society during the
past twelve months had been the larg-

years ago. During that period 1898
companies had been added to the
ranks, against gain of 5,27S compa-

At the several overflow meetings
held in the big tent and nearby

attendance. All of the principal
speeches delivered at Sangerfest hall
were repeated at the overflow meetings

ELECTRIC FISH.
Living Galvanic Batteries and Their
Anatomical Peculiarities.

Living Galvanic Batteries and Their
Anatomical Peculiarities.
Electric fish have always been plenti-
full in the Nile. The ancient Egypt
ians were familiar with the capacity of
these fish to communicate a shock to
their captors, although, of course, the
nature of the shock was not under
stood. In a picture in bas-relief from
the Metropolis at Memphis, dating pre-
sumably three thousand years b. c.,
we see the Pharaoh of the day engaged
in watching the sport of spearing
appropriateness, while a solitary fish
erman in a small boat is represented
in the act of catching an electric shad.
Galen, too GOO A. d., mentions the
electric rayfish, the action of which he
compares to magnet; and for GEN.
turtles the Abyssinians have used the
electric eel as remedy for diseases of
the nerves. There are three species of
electric fish now known: The electric
shad, the electric eel and the torpedo
or electric rayfish- The electric shad
is from twelve to twenty inches long,
and is found in the Nile and the Sene-
gal According to Brehm, the electric
organ of the shad consists of tissue,
resembling the fatty tissue, between
the skin and the muscles, over the
whole body. This tissue consists of
six or more membranes superimposed
one upon the other, with space between
them for a gelatinous mass furnished
with a peculiar arterial and venous
system, and with a very much branched
nerve. On being touched with the
hand, the electric shad gives shocks of
varying strength. The utilization Of
its electric energy is absolutely unde.
its own control
The electric eel, first described by
Humboldt. is capable of communicate
ing the most powerful shock. 1t some
times reaches a length of six or seven
feet and weight of thirty or forty
pounds. The skin, which is olive-green
above and orange-red below, is covered
with slime, which, as Volta showed,
conducts electricity twenty to thirty
times better than water.
The electric organ of the electric
ray occupies the same space between
the head, the gills and the pectoral
fins. 1t consists of small cells, close
together like the cells of honey
comb, separated by cross-membraneous
walls and permeated by nerves. Its
shock is materially weaker than that
of the electric eel, but nevertheless
quite painful.-Literary Digest.
