Shortly after 12 o'clock a report came to
the police station that crowd OF men,
supposed to be strikers, were walking on

that the men intended to catch the Monon

GENERAL SOLICITOR DYES ESCAPE.
A Bullet Crashed Past His Ear While
i'm a Private Car.


On Saturday evening ]. @. Van Wrinkle.
general superintendent of the Big -Four,
left Cincinnati in his private car, having
on board George Bender, superintendent of
the Chicago division, and John T. Dye.
general solicitor. The party was sitting in
the observation end of the smoking car
and chatting as it came through the yards,
when suddenly bullet came into one win
dow and passed out the other side. break
ing both windows. The bullet came so
close TO the head OF Mr.. Dye that ii made
his ear tingle, and gave him an uneasy
trip the rest of the way. Who shot the
bullet or what the object could have been
Mr.. Van Wrinkle is wholly unable to ex-
plain.
On Saturday night he had talk with
the leaders of the strike at Cincinnati, and
they stated that arrangements would prob
ably be made by which the Big Four men
out on strike would return to work Mon
day. Yesterday at noon Mr.. Van Wrinkle
left for ST. Louis hoping that to-day he
would be able to straighten out matters
there, as the Big Four men have no griev-
ance, or, at least, if they have, it has not
been made known.
Yesterday afternoon on the Belt road, the
Union tracks and in all the yards cars were
moving along as usual, although there were
less freight cars to handle yesterday than
usual on Sunday, which is made a clean
ing-up day. Superintendent Darlington, OF
the indianapolis division of the Pennsyl-
vania lines went to his Office early in the
day. expecting to spend most of the day
there, but everything was moving SO
smoothly that he remained only his usual
hours in the afternoon.
Superintendent Galloway, of the Indian
apois division of the Cincinnati, Hamilton
& Dayton, states that the situation with
that road is improving. passenger trains
moving time, and by Monday probably
some of the freight trains will begin to
move as usual.
The Monon people say that the blockade
at Hammond whefa they experienced SO
much trouble F1.day and Saturday. is
raised. and all their passenger trains were
running yesterday about, on time.
Superintendent Bender, of the Chicago di-
vision of the Big Four. said that last
evening everything looked favorable for
their men at Cincinnati returning to their
work, having seen the folly of striking
when they had no grievances.
Conductor Keith, of the Big Four who
brought in No. is yesterday from Chicago,
stated that the engine which hauled his
train from Chicago to Kankakee was fired
by the smoke inspector of the Illinois Cen
tral road, and in getting out of Chicago
they ran across 10 get around three en-
gines which had been thrown off the track
by the strikers.
Conductor Trindle, of the Vandalia,
brought in No. 20 on time. He said that
the Terminal company delivered the train
on time, but it was made up by officials
of the Terminal company.
Train No. Is, of the St. Louis division OF
the Big Four came in time, and the
out of St. Louis.

States Marshal Hawkins was telephoned to
come to the depot, and with Postoffiee In
spector Fletcher boarded the cars. The
United States officials accompanied the
train to the observation-disclosures depot
prepared to intercept any person found in
terfering with the train. Happily there was
no trouble and the train passed the city
limits without interference. After the de-

yards, closely watched by the police, but
the strikers had disappeared. 1t is the

yards, but at midnight when he ordered
his men to do the work they refused
after short delay night yardmaster Ker-
noodle and chief yardmaster Duniston
boarded the engine and ran over to the
Pullman yards They coupled on TO the only
remaining Pullman, and in few mo-
ments it was attached TO the. Monon train
There was no effort on the part of the
men, to interfere with the work in the
yards or station after the arrival of the
police. They stood quietly by and watched
the making uD of the trains.
shortly after II O'Clock the men In the
c., II. & d. yards refused to perform their
accustomed duties. A c., H. q d. sleeper
was TO be transferred to the Vandalia train
but the switchmen declined to do the work.
Deputy United States Marshal John Foley
accompanied the Monon passenger as far
as the Observation-Disclosures Depot He
had an eve on the mail cars, but was given
no trouble
Late last night it was reported to the
executive session Of the railway union that
the c.. H. & ID. and L. Z. & w. switch
man had been discharged. This it was
claimed, would precipitate general strike
to-day. The men say that the railway Off
cials gave it out that the switchmen had
been temporarily suspended. This state
ment, they say. is simply a bluff on the
part of the railway companies. Among the
agitators about the station last night was
a man named Mitchell, who the railway
officials say has succeeded in stirring ur
strife among the employees of a half dozen
different roads. Mitchell approached Ser
geant Lowe and asked If the police in
tended to interfere with the plans of the
strikers. The Sergeant informed him tina
the police proposed to see that the Pull
man cars were not moested. Ii was said
last night by one of the men interested ir
the strike that three thousand men would
go out to-day in Indianapolis. The railway
officials look for considerable difficulty to-
day in making up trains, but do not believe
there will be a general strike.

that ii is vulgar to eat a heavy meal early

The worshipers at the Church of the AS
cension in Auburn had a novel experience
Sunday afternoon. The professional hymn
had been sung, the white-robed young
the dearly beloved brethren" the responses
were over and prayers commenced when a
tardy parishioner arrived. AS he walked
down the aisle he did not notice that he
was followed by a companion. When the
pariShioner stopped and bowed his head
In prayer his companion continued its de-
mure tread onward toward the chancel.
Once or twice it stopped as the organ
sounded the ''amens." but when progress
was resumed the course was still onward.
b a nimble leap the wanderer landed on
the platform leading to the chancel, and
there revealed itself as a tiger-striped kit
the ~clergyman's eyes met. The Mortified
clergyman with great effort continued TO
read on, while the unconcerned kitten with
tan erect and ears pricked, gaZed on him
with interest. Giving him a. wink she
passed on to the chancel, entered the sane
tuary, and with a bound reached the altar.
Not content with this she leaped to the
Bishops chair and then set about adjusting
herself to the surroundings by washing her
face.
The sound OF the clergyman's voice. now
ever. seems irresistible to her. and, Jump
ing over the brass chancel rail, she leaped
to the seat in front of the reading desk
at which he was kneellng. With the close
OF the collect. Tighten Our Darkness" the
choir. the congregation still kneeling. sang
his coveted opportunity to make a lunge
for the cat. Puss was happily purring very
loud. but, seeing the attempt on her liberty,
a nimble jump saved her from the clergy
mans grasp.
With the close of the anthem came the
resumption of prayers and also the renewed
perambulations of pussy. She remounted
the seat behind the clergyman, and to his
horror he felt her gently testing the sta
bility of his robe, apparently feeling her
ground for a leap. The only place TO leap
was the clergyman's back. The kitten eyed
her victim critically and was about TO leap
when she was startled by the terrific yelp
OF a dog which had somehow got into the
choir stall.
The kitten now turned her attention to-
ward the organ, and peeping around, saw
her enemy. Her enemy saw her at the
same time. Each gazed intently in an APP
parent effort to hypnotic the other, but
the experiment was cut short by the dog,
who. with a leap and a yelp. made for the
cat. and but for the vigorous scrambling
of The bassos the two would have had an
argument in full view of the clergyman and
congregation.
The dog was held and the cat vanished

knees. many OF whom were entirely ignor-
ant OF the fearful ordeal through which
their pastor had gone during the space of
ten minutes OF prayer.

Chicago Record.

A man-of-war is built upon paper before a
single plate of steel is forged. Not only is
the design and model made, and a sketch
floating on the foamy deep, but every
piece that enters into her construction,
whether 1t be Of iron, or wood, or steel. is
measured and dra wn out with even greater
care than ar architect exercises in design
ing the details of the mantels and door
jams and plumbing of a house. Not only is
the length and breadth of a ship decided
upon in advance, but the naval construc-
tor will tell you to an ounce how much
water she will ~displace when her armor
and guns are placed upon her; how many
times her propellers will revolve in a min
ute with a given pressure of steam, and
how many tons Of coal an hour must be
consumed to drive her at a certain rate of
speed.
The science Of shipbuilding has reached
such perfection that of the forty ships that
compose the new navy of the United States
only two have not fulfilled or exceeded the
plans and promises OF the men who de-
speed and other qualifications. The At
lanta and Monterey did not develop quite
the horse power that their engines were
designed to give, and their builders had
to pay a forfeit. The Castine and the
Machias were found to be top-heavy when
they got all their armor on, but that was
an error of Judgment. They were given too
many guns for their tonnage, but the de-
feet was easily repaired.
When the plans OF a ship are given to the
contractor the first thing he does is to re-
produce the design, or at least a cross
section full size, with chalk on the floor of
his loft. and wooden patterns are made
from the chalk marks for the use of the
founders in casting her ribs and beams.
Then a wooden plate is made for every steel
plate that is needed and marked with white
paint 10 correspond with that it represents
on the pen-and-ink design. Then the keel
is laid and the skeleton riveted together
until il stands in the air like the steel
buildings that are now being constructed
fifteen or sixteen stories high before a
brick or a stone Is laid for the outside
walls.
When it comes time to put on the plates
the wooden pattern Is first used to see If II
is a perfect tit and to mark where the riyet
holes must be made. The steel plate is then
!. laid upon it, the places for the rivet holes
= are marked and then drilled, and finally it
Is fastened by red-hot steel bolts where ii
belongs. In a ship of 5000 tons there are
l over 1000 or 5000 different pieces of steel
| and 5000 or $1,000 steel rivets.
