BIocIxadine and Burning During, the Strike
was Such says Witness
CHICAGO, Aug 30-Contrary to expec-
tations rebuttal testimony was heard to-
day by the strike commission The rail-
roads and labor unions introduced sever
al witnesses, the first of whom
was 5. e. Wade, an emplOye
of the legal department of the
Rock Island His opinion, was he said
that much of the blOckading of railroad
tracks, was the work Of experienced rail-
road men.
W. r. Mooney a Northern Pacific
switchman of Blue Island, said Debs and
Howard had not advised the men to
strike, that they had told the men to use
their own judgment He said he was
discharged for alleged activity in the
strike.
Island on June 30 when 400 deputy mar
shals stood by and saw their chief. LO-
gan, beaten by the crowd, and related
various incidents of car burning and
blockading. He had been informed he
said, that a deputy marshal named Da--
wilson did not deny the story.
w. F. GuiOn, reporter was next called
He went over the incidents of the strike
at Blue Island and Burnside, Fordham
and Pullman. He saw the cars burning
at Burnside He found only three rail-
road men in the nearest crowd, which
was three blocks away. The railroad
men were trying to dispense the crowd.
One Of these men said the instructions
from the A r. L. were to drive away all
persons who might be inclined to damage
property, and if they would not go to
cause their arrest.
Debs and Howard afterward asked the
witness if he could help the order and
cause the arrest of the men engaged in
violence but he told them he was not a
detective.

To Have a Mammoth Strike on
Her Hands.
One Of the Greatest in the City's
History
TOBEGIN SEPTEMBER /
The Building Trades Will Make
Their Protest
Against Use of Convict Labor
Material.
TO BEGIN SEPTEMBER ]

New YORK, Aug. 3O-It is probable
that one of the greatest strikes this city
has ever witnessed will be inaugurated
September 1, The building trades con-
ference appealed some time ago to the
board of walking delegates to take some
steps looking toward the abolition of the
system adopted by great many con-
tractors of employing materials prOduc-
ed by cheap or convict labor
The board investigated the complaint
and last March gave notice to the archi-
tects and builders and contractors that il
the practice of employing the materials
in question was continued after Septem-
Der 1 of this year, strikes would be au-
thorized on every building affected.
Many contractors signified their inten-
ton of complying with the boards de-
mand. but the great majority failed even
to reply to it, the board of walking dele
gates again took the subject under adj
visement and unanimously adopted the
resolution to order strikes as indicated
in the notice Of last March. This resO-
luton Will go into effect Septem Der 1.
Accordingly, on and after that date any
walking delegate is empowered to order
a strike without any further formality on
any building where the Objectionable
material is employed
President Bausch, of the Building
Trades conference, and who is also
secretary of the board of walking dele
gates told a reporter the practice of
bringing in material from rural districts
where labor is cheap has driven laborers
away from the metropolis.
.'Workingmen who are compelled to
paw high rents here" he said. s'cannot
possibly hope to compete with suburban
laborers whose living expenses are i'm
measurably cheaper. Aud as for com
peting with convict labor, it is entirely
out of the question. Contractors, after
all, gain but very little by employing
material turned out by such labor, while
to the New York workingmen the loss is
great.
"The board of walking delegates has
concluded the only way to check the evil
is by declaring a strike against every
contractor who uses the obnoxious ma
terial on any of his buildings"

ed to be Notorious Nebraska Curly"

to be the notorious burglar Nebraska
Curly who is wanted in several places
but worst of all in Washington county.
Sheriff }. B. Mitchell Of that county was
notified and Will come and try to identi-
fly "Curly."
The arrest was due to the accidental
discharge of revolver in a second hand
store on Kansas avenue below Lee Jones.
Curly went into the store and inquired
how much he could get on the revolver
Nothing was said about il being
loaded. The proprietor went on the as
sumption that it wasn't, and when he was
examining it snapped the trigger. The
revolver went off and the bullet narrowly
missed the prOprietOrs foot It made
him SO mad he at once ordered Curly
arrest by an officer who was attracted by
the report. When Under Sheriff Tom
Wilkerson saw the prisoner he thought
he answered description of a criminal
he had seen somewhere, and looking
over the files of such notices IN his Office
found one for Nebraska Curly" IN
which the culprit was described. SANDY

cheek, peck marked, tulks brogue,
SLOUGH hat, light pants, feet inches
high, about &c years old 1t answered
the description exactly, and "Curly." or
whoever he is, is being held at the

NEW YORK, Aug. 3O-A special dis
patch from Newport, r. l.. to the Press
says: The contemplated separation Of
Mr.. and Mrs. William K Vanderbilt, an
nounced by cable does not strike society
here with great surprise. IncOmpati-
bility Of temperament alone is believed to
be the cause. A society man who begged
that his name be withheld, said:
"Mr and Mrs. Vanderbilt are totally
untitled for each other and for several
years they have led an unhappy exis-
tence, disagreeing upon the most trivial
matters. Yet Mrs Vanderbilt is
clever, even brilliant woman and
person that is we'll liked
by many friends. Mr.. Vanderbilt is
most agreeable man with whOle-souled
IDEAS and yet upon matters unimpOrtant
as well as important, they failed to
agree"
The speaker added that Mrs. Wander
bilt was a strong minded southern woman
with exclusive ideas. MIR Vanderbilt
was open and free. He failed to agree
with Mrs Vanderbilt in the exclusive
character of their house here aud es-
pecially with his wife's idea of surround
ing it with high, almost impenetrabIe
walls

THE PLAIN PROOF
OF Awards to DR.. Prices Cream Baking
Powder at the Fairs.


An envious New York mpetitor, who
tries to sell inferior goods by labelling
them absolutely pure" seeks to belittle
the award of highest honors to DR..
Prices Cream Baking Powder at the
Worlds Columb ian Exposition by deny
ing that such honOrs were conferred.
The award to DR.. Prices is proved by
the official records.
Chief of awards J. S. Browning writes:
"The records of this department (agri-
culture) show that the executive commit
tee on awards officially announced some
time ago that an award had been granted
the Price Baking Powder company on
its exhibit Of baking powder"
The Hon John Boyd Thacher, chair
man of the executive committee on
awards. also writes under date of Feb.
IA, 1894: II herewith enclose you an
official copy of your award, which in due
time will be inscribed in the diploma and
forwarded.'
Why did the New York competitor not
exhibit? Was it because his powder con-
tanned ammonia?
The award to DIR. Prices at Chicago
was for strength, purity and general ex-
cellence.
On similar grounds it received the
highest award and Gold Medal at the
California MidWinter Fair.

NELLIE NEUsrErTER's HISTORY.
She Has Led a Fast Life For Severa
Years.

She Has Led a Fast Life For Several
Years.
SAN Francisco. Aug. 3O.-Nellie Neus-
letter, the young woman who is said to be
the cause of the family troubles of VIM.
*. Vanderbilt is well known here. She
is native of Eureka, New, was educated
at Miles seminary, Alameda county. re-
sided for number of years in San Fran
CISCO and has frequently figured in es-
capades that have won her notoriety both
In the new and old world.
She was born 20 or 80 years ago in
Eureka. where her father, Ben Cohen,
kept a clothing store and became
wealthy. She returned to Eureka from
the seminary when she was Is years
old, and was the belle of the town. Pret-
ty. witty, graceful and vivscious. she pos
sessed all the requisites for the breaking
of hearts.
Her first victim was a nephew of a
we'll known capitalist, and her Haison
with him created such a scandal that her
parents sent her to the care of relatives
in San Francisco. The change failed to
make the desired reformation, and she
soon became a marked figure on Kear-
ney and Market streets during the aft
ernOOn.
Among her admirers was a wealthy
Hebrew named Rothschild. who laid
himself and his fortune at her feet. She
utilized them both until she fell in love
with a cigar drummer named Henry
Newsletter She married the latter in 1884,
and all went well for Il time. Her hus-
bands business compelled him to be alb
sent most OF the time, and during his
trips from home n ellie led "a rapid life.
She was the boon companion of all the
fast young men about town and the end
came III 1887. She left her husband and
went to New York with a noted Los
Angeles woman named Laura Edelman.
Newsletter secured divorce and Nettie
continued to lead gay life IN New York.
She captured the heart of a millionaire
manufacturer who gave her a sumptuous
fiat, horses and carriages and all the
money she could spend He took her to
Europe where she travelled like a
princess.
When she returned to New York she
dazzIed the people with the elegance of
her Worth dresses and tho brilliancy of
her jewels. In 1890 she returned to
San Francisco to visit her parents who
had removed to this city from Eureka.
She took rooms at a leading hotel, dressed
better than any woman in town, wore thou
sands of dollars worth of gems and spent
money as freely as if she had an unIim-
tied letter on the United States mint
Her money began to give out and she
went back to New Y ork for more, taking
with her pretty Oakland girl
The next that was heard of her was
that she had gone to Europe again, and
had been elected from the Continental
hotel in Paris To her parents she wrote
that she was studying tor the stage, and
always carefully concealed from them
the fact that she was leading fast life.
She wrote that she would return to San
Francisco in October. but probably her
encounter with Mr.. Vanderbilt may in
terfeTe with her plans.
