Whether it is that the parlor maids
of Vienna suffer more from vertigo
than those in any other city, ether
they've lighter heads and heavier heels
than the servant girls of other places,
or whether it is that window cleaning
is more dangerous in Vienna than else
where, certain it is that the lady win
dow cleanser is better protected there
than in any other quarter of the globe.
The servant girl in the capital of Aus
tria has an attachment-not neces-
sarily of the amatory kind-but com
pulsorily of the cordage kind. She
must not mount the window sill with"
out her belt and rope con-
nection with the building, so

that is to say, her balance-she can't

and will remain suspended between
heaven and earth, like Mohammed's

obiect-until succor arrives.
There have been no appalling acct
dents of this kind in New York city,
but it seems that in London the win
dow-cleaning maids will persist in
tumbling into the street. On this sub
iect correspondent writes from Wen

these reasons alone that the policemen

she was removed to our big general
hospital. She recovered sufficiently to
show that she would never be of use
again for hard service, and, as it was
proved by the police authorities that
the lady of the house had provided no

Spins a Yarn OF How the Lightning Left
the Sky to Bite Sailors Ear.
The skipper of the Albania, just in
from far Dundee, has haLit of observ-
ing very curious things at sea. On
voyage he completed several months
ago, he can very nearly through the
middle of a sea leviathan. This time
the truthful skipper struck, when only
two days out, a storm that knocked the
stach old ship just like cork about.
Seas reared across her weather side and
smashed her starboard rail and sent
her ventilators off a-fying down the
gale. But that was not the worst of it.
When off the Georges banks rain fell
IS if J. Pluvius had emptied all his
tanks, and from the darkness and the
flood there came a thunder DO t the like
of which no man has seen since Pega-
sus was a colt. 1t burst upon the
skipper, so he rhythmically tells, like
flaming concentration of forty thou
sand hells, 1t lit upon the foremost
truck, then scooted down the spar and
leaped aft to the flying bridge, much
like drunken star. The second mate
saw its approach and crouched in
deadly fear 1t Missed so close to him,
he says, it scorched his star-board ear.
Then down into the middle hatch he
saw the bolt cavort, and, like a fam
ing snake, squirm in and out of every
port, and finally it lowered DER the
quarter deck and sped awav in the
direction of the quartermaster's head.
He lodged it very cleverly, and, with
an awful whoop, it killed off every
rooster in the empty chicken coop.
You may believe this or you mayn't,
but that fine old sea dog, the steam
ships skipper, says it's SO, and he's got
it in in his log.

AUSTIN WIN ).

The fight has been long and bitter;
Austin's enemies have been RELENTLESS
not only H. mode Of warefare, but in
persistence Of attack, and being aided
by the strlngency Of the times they
have succeeded in doing the city very
much damage. But to tru and fair
dealing the victory inevitably comes,
and Austin IL today victorious. For
many mouths our enemies have been
coDgralulating themselves that the
city was almost ut the end Of its row,
believing that when the headgaIe
masonry was rebuilt, that no
more bonds being sold, the work
would have to stop. But
they have r6ckOned without their
host. They have under. rated the
city's grit and determination to suc-
ceed. they have failed to consider
that people as united as our people
are on the dam, never fail. And so
today the news recorded in our local
columns VIII come to them as bomb
thrown unexpectedly INTO an enemy's
camp.
And this is but the entering edge;
this Is but the first step on the last
third Of the city's work, which means
the early and final completion of the
clty's great water and electric light
plant. For it is always the first step
that IL the hardest, We have not taken
n step towards selling our bonds since

STREET CARS IN COLLISION.
Five Persons Injured in n Pittsburp
Disaster.

PITTSBURG, Pa, November 21.-In a col
lision between an electric and a cable car
on the Wylie avenue line at 1870 this
morning five people were injured, one of
whom may die. The injured are:
Mrs H. c. Jones, head cut and bruised,
dangerously hurt; Gripman Harvey Rea,
badly cut about the head and arms;
Michael Kombault, Miss Brown and an un-
known lady.
The electric car was ascending the steep
grade on Wyle avenue. followed by the
cable car on the same track. On reaching
Fulton street the electric car stopped, but
the brakes refused to work and it began
sliding backward. Gripman Rea on the
N.ble took in the situation and released
Eis brake, allowing his car to slide back as
fast as he dare in order to break the shock
which was threatened. Soon the electric
sar became entirely unmanageable and
gained speed.
The passengers on both cars were panic
stricken and several leaped from the plat
forms before the collision occurred. Women
tainted, and the excitement was intense.
AT Logan street the cars came together
with terrific force, derailing both and
wrecking the coliiding ends.
Mrs. Jones was thrown against the stove
in the cable car violently that she was
picked up unconscious and 1t is feared
that she will not survive.

THE INDIAN TERRITORY.
A Conference as to the Suppression
of Lawlessness There.

Attorney General Olney, Secretary La
mont and Secretary Smith had another
consultation today on the subject OF the
use Of the troops to suppress the Cook
gang and other marauders in Indian ter
ritory. While the first request for troops
came from the Interior Department SEQ
retary Smith, on further examination of
the matter agreed with the Attorney Gen.
eral that troops could rot be used as re-
Cuested by the Indian agent at Muskogee.
The only basis for the Use of troops in the
territory by the Interior Department would
he for the removal of the irtruders. AS moth
ing has yet been determined as 10 who are
or who are not intruders, the department
really has nothing to do In the matter. The
suppression of lawlessness and the stop
ping of train robbeIies, ii is held, Is no part
Of the duty Of the Interior Department,
but is a matter relating wholly to the De-
partmant of Justice. 1t is understood that
this conclusion was reached by the three
members Of the cabinet In conference.
Unit ed States Marshal McAllister of In
dian territory has been quite severely criti-
cised for his mac ton. and II is possible that
tie marshal of Arkansas may be directed
by the Attorney General to summon a
posse and capture or drive out OF the
Indian territory the lawless element. The
removal of Marshal McAllister and tie Sc
lection of some man not a resident, or not
connected with the Indian territory, has
been discussed and the names OF some men
now in Washington were mentioned at to-
days conference as being the right kind OF
men to deal with the Indian teri story
bandits. 1t is probable that Attorney Gen.
eral Olney in a short time, will take such
steps as will render the use of troops un-
necessary. and will restore peace and order
in the territory.
