IT is rumOred that friends OF the
administration will get money from
the sugar trust to use in Chairman
Wilson's campaign for reelection.
Well, why shouldn't they. Mr.. Will
son was the man who led the Demo
cratic house into the sugar trust
camp, and had the pop gun bill for
free sugar, which he knew could not
become law, put through the house
to take the curse off. 1t would be a
case of base ingratitude if the sugar
trust did not respond to the aid of
their friend in time of need.

very extensive. In the matter of the
cost of living, and reduction which
may be effected, is more then counter
balanced in the increased cost of sugar.
And whatever reduction the wage
Garner gains from the reduction in the
cost of clothing, as a result of the
sugar trust tariff law, is blown to the
four winds by the decrease he suffers
in his wages. Such is the result of
free trade promises.

Martin County Sentinel
Four years ago the Democrats re-
fused to endorse Gen. Baker for con-
gress and went into the campaign
without a candidate. This year they
nominated him by reclamation and
placed him upon free silver platform
which is against the principles OF
nine-tenthS of the Democrats in this
congressional district. Poor old Demo
crazy in it's demoralized state seemeth
not to know or care whether 1T is

Washington Advance:
Congressman McCleary's speech on

Saturday night, was the cleanest,

question we have ever seen. The
speech showed that it was prepared

the subject candid, carefull study. 1t

tion, and it ought to be in the hands
of every Populist and Democrat in the

A MILLION DOLLAR FIRE.
Brooklyn Has a Disastrous Blaze
Three Men Killed.

The Fire Was Thought to Have Been Ex-
tinguished But Blazed Up Again-It

tion-During the Fire Police Boat

Z Brooklyn, June 29.-This afternoon
fire broke out in tn large storehouse
of Franklin, Woodruff S5 Co., on Fur
man street, and gained considerable
headway before being discovered. The
fire started on the second floor when no.
body was in the.building, and the place
had been locked up and all the windows
and doors safely barred. For long
time the firemen were unable to get into
the building. In the building were
stored $4,000 bales of jute, hemp, salt
Goldfish and isinglass. 1t is said the fire
started in a room in which jute was
packed, spontaneous mbusiton proba-
bly, being the cause. Att the fire ap-
peared to be under control. The loss
will probably be t$200, ,00G. While the fire
was in progress, spark struck the
awning of the police boat, Judge Moore.

soon all the upper deck was on fire. 1t

THE BRUNSWICK SEWER.
How the Work is Going Forward-Diffi-
culties of the Sand Down There-"Point-
ing' the Joints.
lSpecial to the Press.l

Brunswick, June 29.-Work was begun
on the Brunswick sewer system week
ago last Tuesday. Since it was stipulat-
ed that the contractor should employ
French, citizens of the town, Mr.. f lanna-
gan began with about 50 of them. They
struck the first day. They were paid
81. Is day, and they demanded $3.50.
Mr.. Flanagan compromised at $1.25, but
either the work or the price hasn't suit
ed, and now only about 25 or 80 of the
Frenchmen are at work, iothers making
up the rest of the so.
Work has begun on the sand flats of
the river brook, about mile below the
town. where the sewer is to empty. The
depth of the trench will vary from moth
ing to 90 feet. Tt is all clear sand, and
the easiest possible diggi ng, but it has
it's disadvantages which are almost as
serious as solid ledge. The sand caves
in, and where the trench is II or 12 feet
deep and over, this is no trifiing mat
ter. Thursday, the pipe-layer, who is
at the bottom Of the trench always, was
buried by sand slides so that he had to
be dug out six times. Twice he was bur-
led to his neck. Yet he is so careless or
regardless. of whatever danger sthere is
in it that Immediately after being dug
out he crawled into tile 18-inch pipe to
clear out the sand, and had another slide
come, then he might have been en-
tombed for long time and made very
uncomfortable, if not suffocated.
A day or two before, another pipe lay
er was buried above his eyes. only the
top of his head projecting above the
sand. After the pipe is all laid from
the village to the river, there will be
manholes every $50 or 800 feet. From
these man will crawl through the in
tervening sections of pipe and point"
the joints. That is, he will stretch him
self out in an 1S-inch pipe in which his
shoulders almost rub, and with candle
and pail of mortar, in front of him,
will worm his way along and fill the
joints of the pipe with mortar and
smooth it off SO that nothing may OBJ
struct the sewerage. Suppose he should
get stuck? But he can't get stuck; the
pipe is smooth and big enough, and there
is air drawing through: all the time from
the manholes. But think of wriggling
$500 feet under ground, like an angle
worm in it's tunnel. Only men of the
coolest nerves could do this thing. In
that terrible underground confinement
some men would experience the uncon-
trollable desperation of the cat that
tears itself and writhes in any confne-
meut,

THE RAILROAD STRIKE.
1t Is Spreading Rapidly Through
out the West.
CHICAGO RAILROADS ARE TIED
UP AND ORDERS

Are Issued for Strike on Every Road
Included in the Managers Association
The Men at the Union Stock Yard
Ordered Out-What Mr.. Pullman SAYS
Regarding the Affair-News From
Different Points.
New York. June 29.-The Times this morn
ing says: George NJ Pullman, president of
the Pullman Palace Car company, who is
now in Chicago, has issued comprehensive
statement to the pubic with regard to the
efforts of the company to keep it's works
open and give employment to it's men.
Among other things he says:
AT the commencement of the serious de-
preston last year we were employing at
Pullman 5S16 men and paying out in wages
there S3O5, 600 month. Negotiations with
intending purchasers of railway equipment
that were then pending for new work were
stopped by them, orders already given by
others we cancelled, and we were obliged
to lay off large number of men in every
department, so that by November l, 1898,
there We're only about 1000 men in the de-
partments, or about-one third of the normal
number I realized the necessity for the
most strenuous exertions to procure work
Immediately, without which there would be
great embarrassment not only to the en-
ployes and their families at Pullman, but
also to those living in the imme diate vicini-
ty, including between 700 and 800 employees
who had purchased homes, and to whom en-
ployment was actually necessary to enable
them to complete their payments.
Il canvassed the matter thoroughly with
the manager of the works, and the result of
this discussion was revision in piece-work
prices, which, in the absence of any infoma-
tion to the contrary, l supposed. to be
acceptable to the men under the circum-
stances. Under these conditions and with
lower prices upon all materials, personally
understood the work of the letting of cars
and by making lower bids than other manu-
facturers secured work enough to gradulIy
increase our forces from 2200 up to about
4200 the number employed, according to the
April pay rolls, in all capacities at Pullman
This result has not been accomplished
merely by reduction III wages, but the com
pany has borne it's full share by eliminating
from its estimates the use of capital and
machinery, and, in many cases, even going
below that and taking work at considerable
loss''

THE STRIKE GROWING.
The Aspects of tho Railway Strike are
Becoming More Sc rious,


Chicago, June 29.-At this morning an
order was issued by President Debs to the
looo men working at the stock yards to
strike at six this evening. The order is
addressed to the switchmen, engineers and
hremen employed by the Union Stock Yards
transit company, and tn result will be the
complete tying up of all railroads centering
IN Chicago so far as work or business is con-
cerned at the yards.
In the Pan Handle yards thirty men were
started to work, but the engineers refused
TO work with them. On the Chicago &
Northern twenty extra brakemen were
called out to take the places of the striking
swltchmen, but all refused. Word was re-
celved at the headquarters of the strikers
this morning that the Northwestern officials
would issue general order to the roadmen
this afternoon to take the places of SWITCH
men, with warning that all who refuse
TO ooeyswould be peremptorily discharged,
If this radical move is made, it is predicted
that the entire system will be tied up in all
branches of the service.
