Shortly after one of the strikers
had applied for his old position and
been informed that it was filed by
another man, he began making some
remarks about the fellow who got
him into the A. r. u, about as fol-
lows: "Bill has always been a good
friend of mine, and some time ago, l
asked him to join the order Of United
WOrkmen to, which I belong; told
him there was $4,000 insurance con-
nected with it and explained to him
that his family would be protected
in case he died. Well, he didn't join,
but shortly after the A. r. Z. bust
ness struck the Northern Pacific, Bill
came around and asked me to Join,
but told him | belonged to the A.
O. Z. w. and that was enough for
me: He then explained that while
that might protect my family in case
| died, it would not help me to get
better wages and protect me as the
A. r. U. would. l Joined the "A. r.
o., struck with the boys, lost ten
days work land am now entirely out
of a job. Yesterday L asked Bill
where in HI that protection was
and he said that he'd be id if he
knew. The A. y. e. w. is good
enough for me yet.'

A Modern Convenience.

On the Fourth of March, 1889, an
enterprising Yankee left Boston for
New York, carr lying carpet bag of
most goodly dimensions. The man
was William F. Harnden,. and his
carpet bag apparently contained
only few packages of money and
valuable papers, consigned to New
York merchants. It had occurred to
Harnden that by saving business
men the expense of a special mes
senger for the ,transfer4 of each indi
vidual's packages, a paying occupa-
!. ton might be worked up for him
self. The idea was so novel, how
ever, that it took long time for
that generation to patronize. the
new way. Perhaps Harnden
thought the load was light, but now
we can see that it contained not only
the few packages on his memoran-
dun, but the whole vast express
system OF today, employing an army
OF men, transporting millions of
money, and thousands of tons of
various merchandise, and also doing
a banking business through their
money orders. What would our
life be now, had we to return to
special messenger or the unpaid SER
vice'Of some neighbOr on his travels?
Can we not justly call the express
system modern convenience? The
development OF Harnden's idea is
astounding. And yet we must
recognize that without the anterior
building of railrOads-such as the
Burlington system, linking to each
other and the commercial world
hundreds of towns and cities, of the
great and popular western states
the scheme would have remained
but little more comprehensive than
when first DEVISED 1T is not for us
to advise what express company is
prefera Bile, but when it comes to a
railroad, you can never miss it by
insisting that the ticket agent must
sell you a ticket by the Burlington
Route, to any of the larger cities and
towns Of the country, or you can
write to W. J. C.. Kenyon, Gen. Pass.

There was a little scene enacted
in the Butler block Tuesday .after-
noon which caused the occupants of
the building to think that the in
mates Of a lunatic asylum had been
turned loose in the hall. 1t was
nothing, however, only a woman
making a call on Attorney e. s..
Smith and attempting to make her
escape with some papers which she
thought she should have. It seems
Mr.. Smith is attorney for her hus-
band and that there was some mis-
understanding about the fees where
upon the family thought they could
dispense with the attorneys SER
vices if they only had the papers in
the case. Calling upon the attorney
about O'Clock she was given per-
mission to look at the papers, and
Immediately started for the door,
but Just as she got into the hall the
attorney caught a handful of calico
and stopped her. He then called to
Attorney Adams, who rushed out,
and thinking she was insane grabbed
( her by the arm, but seeing the pa
pers in her hand it reminded him Of
some business he had to look after
and he beat q hasty retreat, leaving
p. S. to fight his own battle. The
woman screamed and the limb OF the
law talked, but for once he was not
in it, and the woman nude her es
cape with the documents There ID
ablOOd on the MOON and law suit
may result In which the woman will
be defendant. Sam Trebby and
Dana Brown were bottle holders
& with q. +. Adams as time keeper up
to the time he made his escape.

Captain had been trying to dispose of

had been once the ballast of the cholera

Captain O'Brien. who was in charge of
the cargo, was at once tackled by the
rnitted that the sand belonged to the
Alters which had been detained at Quar-
artine not long ago. She was allowed
should be fumigated. and her ballast
tainted whit cholera gerrnS dumped in
to the sea. When tn Alters rached her
pier her Captain made an engaGemnt
with O'Brien to take away the sand ont
to sea; but the Captain, with a fine eye
to business, thought it shame to
waste $40 or$S0 on a tug and the value

WHAT WILSON THINKS.

WASHINGTON, Aug. q, 1S94.-Chair-
man Wilson of the Ways and Means
Committee will probably make flying
trip to Europe after the adjournment
fast liners, if his present programme be
carried out, and remain week in Lon
don, returning to the United States
about twenty days after his departure.
He said this morning that he felt more
fatigued today than he has at any time
for two months. The excitement attend
ing his work on the Conference Com
mittee buoyed him up to some extent,
and now that this excitement has pass
ed, reaction has set in. 1t is pur-
posed to enter the campaign in his dis
trict Immediately upon his return from
Europe He may speak in other dis
tricts, but he does not expect to go
outside of the State.
Mr.. Wilson was asked today what the
ton the President would take regarding
the Tariff bill. He replied that he had
not seen Mr.. Cleveland for some days,
but, in his opinion, the bill would prob
ably become a law without the Execu-
tive signature. Should Mr. Wilson'S sur
mise be correct, an adjournment of Con-
gress will not occur before Tuesday of

Dennis Donoyan,s Narrow Escape
from Death on SIantimg Roof.
Dennis Donovan, workman on the new
building for Public School No. of Bayonne
had a narrow escape from death yesterday.
The rain of the morning made the tin roof
of the bnilding very slippery Donovan
climbed down the slanting roof to double
down the jagged tin edge. As he proceeded
he began to slide down the slippery roof
He made desperate clutch at the tin to
stav himself, but could not hold on. The
sharp edges cut his hands He rolled over
on his back in hopes of stopping his mo-
mentum. but could not stay the downward
movement.
Down he went, the sharp edges of the tin
Sitting his back, arms and legs iii a horrible
manner The gutter stayed his progress
and saved him from falling over the edge.
His outcry attracted the attention of his
fellow workmen, but they could not do any
thing to save him, They saw him slide
down, leaving bloody track on the tin,
| and expected to see him go over the edge.
When the gutter stopped him. they
scrambled to him and with much trouble
carried him down to the ground DR..
Donohue was summoned and dressed the
wounds. He found that Donovan's fingers
were nearly severed from his hands and his
back was terribly Iacerated. The muscles
had been cut and torn out, the tendons
! broken and the bones visible. Donovan was
removed to his home. No. ~ West Four
teenth street, wherehe now lies in 8 critical

FOR LOVE THEY DIE.
julius Shoots His Sweetheart
Juliette and Then Himself

NEW YORK, Aug. 81, 1894.-A few min
utes after six O'Clock this morning Park
Policeman Thomas Flynn found the dead
bodies of a young and pretty woman
and a handsome young man lying side
by side in the Ramble opposite Eightieth
street, in Central Park. Beside the
bodies was a revolver with two eXpIod-
ed shells on it's cylinder.
The girl, who was about twenty-five,
had been shot in the centre of the left
breast.
She lay face downward, her arms out
stretched. He was face downward, his
left arm extended, the right forearm
doubled under him. His right hand
grasped the revolver, an old, cheap af-
fair of 80 calibre. So close had the re-
volver been held to her that her REQ
and white shirt waist had been burned,
as had the flesh beneath it. He had shot
himself in the right temple, standing be-
side her body as he did it. 1t needed
but d glance to see that the woman was
perfectly willing to die with him. She
had removed her corsets, SO that the
bullet might not be lmpeded.
The corset lay on the bench where she
had been sitting, and where she had
plucked to pieces a bunch of flowers
THE LETTERS EXPLAIN THE DEED.
On the bodies were found letters
some in French and they tell the story
that Julius De Marcus and Jubette Four
nier died for love of each other. Julius
tells the reason as follows:-

for me. We don't wish to be parted,
dead or alive. We beg all & from all
forgiveness & as happy as ever.
JULIUS DE MARCUS,
"JULIETE FOURNIER"
Other letters were found written by
the girl to her father, and Julius to his
mother giving the same reason for the
deed
Photographs were found beside the pair,
also articles of jewelry and some money

early this morning. There was not cne
of the 210 loom fixers in the city unac-
counted for. The meeting was intensely
enthusiastic and the sentiment was
unanimous not to return to work uhll
an assurance is received that the ola
schedule of wages is restored
The loom fixers are vehement in their
assertions that the cut down is more un-
just in their case than in that OF any
of the other operatives. They claim to
be the most poorly paid of any of the
help, taking into consideration the
amount of responsibility they are callec
upon to assume and the fact that they
compelled to furnish their own tools
Inasmuch as they did not see any prob
ability of a settlement of the difficulty
during the present week, it was voted to
adjourn until Saturday. In the mean
time, should there be any unexpected
developments, they will be called to-
gether by their committee of confer
ence, which daily consults with the rep
resentatives of the other organizations.

WHY THE ASPHALT STUCK.

1t leaked out at City Hall this after
noon that the real reason the Street
and Water Board last night rejected all
the asphalt bids, received on August G.,
was because James P. Hall sat in the
lobby armed with legal documents drawn
up for the purpose of certioraring the
proceedings of the board in case con-
tracts were awarded to the Barber Com
pany. When bids were received James
P. Hall was low. The Sicilian Asphalt
Compt ny was next lowest, and the
Barber people were high. The contracts
were not awarded to Hall because the
board believes that he has not had the
necessary experience in laying asphalt.
The Sicilian Company is a comparative
ly new one, and the members are anxi-
Gus to cling to the Barber Company.
To avoid legal complications the board
in future will have all asphalt work
done at the same price as was charged
for Barrow street by the Barber Com
pany.
