Indiana Dispute Ends 4, shoo,,,.

Jacob Schaffer, Superintendent of the
Indiana Natural Gas Company, shot and
mortally wounded Thomas Taylor, for
twenty years leading business man of
Thorntown, Ind. The trouble between
the two men originated out of the plumb

lor was leading member. The church
had been piped for gas and Schaffer
could not be found to inspect it, Taylor
telephoned General Superintendent Nc
Elvy that Schaffer was intoxicated and

CLOSE CALL FOR HOTEL GUESTS.
Saved from Cremation by the bravery OF
Young Walter Girl.

Saved from Cremation by the bravery OF
Young Waiter Girl.
The Patterson Hotel at Harper, Kan.
was burned to the ground about 4 o'clock
Friday morning. Nearly forty guests
were in the house at the time, and but
for the bravery of young girl many of
them must have lost their lives. AS it
was, most of them escaped with only
their night clothes and some of them had
to be dragged out by the stronger ones.
The heroine of the occasion was Maud
Schermerhorn, a waitress, only 10 years
old, who herself suffered dreadful burns
and other injuries while saving others.
She staggered up the stairway and from
door to door calling upon the inmates to
awaken. Before she had got far the
smoke became overpowering and she
sank on her knees and hands, aud in
this position crawled through the pass
ages giving the alarm. Having reached
the last door she fell exhausted and lay
there in stupor, burned and bleeding.
The guests had all been aroused and
were fleeing from the building. One
fortunately had to pass the place where
the young heroine lay. and as he passed
her PROSTATE body he lifted it and bore il
TO fety.

YCHn tlOns
The New York cloakmakers, who are
striking for higher wages and better con-
ditions, are face to face with hunger.
Their cry is, Bread, bread; give us
bread!" They do not talk of surrender.
The leaders of the strike are at their wits
end. They have begged for assistance in
any form, but Ii has not come. The strik-
FRS appear not to care whether they
,tarve or not. In the damp, dark base
nent of Walhalla Hall nearly a thousand
men, who have been turned out of their
homes with their families because they
are not able to pay their arrears in rent,
have been compelled to sleep on the hard
board floor. Their wives and their chill
dren they have left with neighbors, who
have still roof 10 cover their heads.
Seventy-fve more families were evicted
on Wednesday. When Joseph Baron
dess, strike leader, awoke in little room
Of an East Side tenement house, where
he lives with his family, he found great
bag containing 300 fresh loaves of bread
standing against the door.

A thrilllrs tale of sailors hardships
from shipwreck and starvation was told
by Captain Joseph j. James, of the Phil
adelpha schooner Kate Il. Rich, whose
vessel foundered Saturday night. After
six days drifting around at the mercy
of wind and sea, shorn of all sails, decks
burst open, topmasts gone, and lower
masts sprung, Captain James and his
crew and one passenger, Mrs. Maggie
Crossman, were rescued 10y the New York
pilot boat II. Il. Williams and landed at
Staten Island, whence Captain James
took passage for Philadelphia, arriving
there early Tuesday morning. They were
all battered and bruised, and their limbs
were swollen to twice their normal size
through exposure to the salt water, which
constantly swept over the vessel fore and
aft.

THE BIBLE FOR A WEAPON.
william Cantweirs Religion Causes n
Sudden Relapse Into Insanity.

William Cantwell, of Springfield, Ohio,
formerly an inmate of an asylum, went
crazy at prayer meeting ut Dalesville,
In giving his experience he became ex-
cited, and, rushing to the pulpit. jumped
upon the stand where the Bible lay, and
gesticulating wildly, began yelling ut the
top of hi; voice. Finally, when the peo-
pie were hurrying from the church, he
picked up the Bible and hit the sexton,
who was trying to extinguish the lights.
Some one threw piece of coal, hitting
him on the head. The insane man
jumped down and was finally caught
and taken to London and placed in jail.

PERMANENT STRIKE COMMISSION.
1t Is Thought that the President Will
Make the Recommendation.

Make the Recommendation.
Considerable interest attaches to the
stand which the President will take in
his message to Congress regarding the
strike last summer. The appointment by
him of a commission to investigate the
occurrence, the report which its members
have submitted TO him, and the severe
criticisms which have been passed upon
his action 10y Gov. Altgeld of Illinois,
will afford text for referring TO this inn
poitant event. 1t is expected that the
President will recommend the appoint
ment of permanent strike commission.
This has always been favorte idea
with him., and as long ago as 1856, in
message TO Congress relative to the
Missouri Pacific troubles, he suggested
voluntary arbitration as the best means
of settling disputes. Mr.. Cleveland also
argued in that message that such n
permanent commission would, by its
very existence, prevent strikes, would
have ample power to enforce its decis-
ions, and it could be easily engra fled
upon the Bureau of Labor 10y the addi-
tion of two commissioners. 1t is thought
that in his approaching message he will
reiterate the views which he expressed
eight years ago, in which case legislation
by the present congress is not unlikely.

nate what they could of their worldly
goods to assist in the conversion of the

were given, over a hundred rings and
other jcwelry. One man gave his house
aud lot, valued at $4,000. In all, over
$25, 900 was raised for the cause.
