the night of the wreck, he has not been
heard from.
But little suffering from the want of
the necessities of life has resulted on
the East Side from the strike. Nearly
all the strikers had a little money or
credit and they conducted themselves in
such an orderly and peaceable manner
that their credit was not Withdrawn as
is usually the case in most strikes. The
only money the railway organizations
has donated in the way of furnishing
relief has been to men who came to
take the strikers places. These men all
say they knew nothing of the strike
until their arrival and the strikers have
been feeding them to keep them from
going to work.
The strikers are laughing at the as
sertions of the railroad officials to the
effect thar they have all the men en-
ployed they want.
''They have about one-third of their
regular force at work. said striker,
'and their talk about sending out
freight is all bosh. They may he send
ing out some, but comparatively little"
The benefit rendered the striking rail-
way employees at the Standard Theatre
was literally patronized last night.
Another benefit will be given late in the
week at the Standard. 1t will consist
of an athletic entertainment.
VOTED NOT TO RETURN TO WORK.
CHEYENNE, WYo., July 16.-The
members of the American Railway
Union here and at Lamarie, have voted
almost unanimously not to return to
work. The following telegram was
received from Debs to-day:
CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 16.-Roads in the
hands of receivers occupy the same position
as all others III this strike. The PROPOSE
ton we made to the general managers has
been refused. Our position is doubly
strong in consequence. Renew every effort
and carry it out to the finish. There is
nothing to be afraid of. We must and
will win.

Altenberger. the Brutal Murderer of
Katie Rupp, to Die on the Gallows on
September 9th,
JERSEY CRY, N. j., July 17.-Ber-
nard Alteubergcr, the convicted muir
derer of Katie Rupp, was arraigned be-
fore Presiding Judge Lippincott and
Lay Judge Kenny in the Hudson
county court OF oyer and terminer to-
day, for sentence.
The court room was crowded by per-
sons who anticipated the sentence and
when Judge Lippincott asked Alien
berger If he had anything to say why
sentence should not be imposed upon
him, LAWYER Salinger, counsel for the
prisoner, arose and made motion for o
new trial and the postponement of
Judgment on SO different reasons. The
principal reason given by Lawyer
Salinger was that the jury which tried
Altenberger was not composed of
whole panel.
Judge Lippincott refused to postpone
sentence, and after scoring Altenberger
for the deliberate way in which he took
the young woman from Rome to Snake
Hill and then shot her, sentenced Alten-
berger to be hanged in the Hudson
county Jail on September 9th.
After pronouncing sentence, Alien
berger was given into the custody of
two under shcriffs and was led to the
Jail. On his way to Jail Altenberger,
who appeared cool and unconcerned,
remarked to one of his keepers in GER
man, "Why don't they hang me now ~,

THE PULLMAN STRIKE ENDED.

Men Are Starved Out and Applying for
Reinstatenent--The Shops Reopening.
CHICAGO, July 16.--Vicc. President
Wickes of the Pullman company stated
to-day that the company is willing to
take back its striking employees.
"Our manager at the works." Mr..
Wickes said, has been instructed for
several weeks to put the men back to
work just as soon as enough of them
agree to work to make the running of
all departments possible. We could
probably get along with 1000 men,"
Thomas w. Heathcot, one of the
leaders of the Pullman strike commit
tee, admits that the strike, SO far as the
Pullman employees are concerned, is
practically over. According to his views
the men have been literally starved out.
The differences between employees and
employers, he says, is slight, mere
matter of rent.
Mr. Heathcot was somewhat dis
heartened to day as he spoke about the
strike and the prospects. "The men
here are becoming weak, and it takes
all the leaders can do to keep them in
line. The people have no money. l
believe that not one-third of the men
have enough money to pack up their
goods and move as far as Kensington.
/ myself have not dollar in the house.
Those who had little saved up have
used it by this time, and every day
more and more are coming to the relief
fund and drawing small amount in
order to keep alive"
CINCINNATI, July 16.-The Pullman
shops at Ludlow, KY, opened to-day
with fairly good force. The manager
is not taking back any of the leaders Of
the strike, but accepts ali who were
forced out. He is also obtaining some
new men.

BOSTON BABIES.

Tho Heirs of the Wealthy as They Appear
on Commonwealth avenue.
The Commonwealth avenue baby is
pattern Of propriety, paragon of excel
ience, a thing of beauty and a joy forever.
It's papa does not walk the floor with it at
night, and its mother does not drag it
through the shopping district by day. A
whole freight car Of infant food and hobby
horses is at the command of it's pleasure,
and copies of Browning are within easy
reach. When it grows up, it can join tho
Algonquin club or marry Il man able to
provide beautiful home and Partisan
modes.
Attention, therefore, that the Common
wealth avenue baby may be studied both
on its native heath ard apart from its dali
~ environment; that it nay be compared
with other babies aud its Satus i'll public
life definitely determined; that lit may
know the great interest taken in its wei
faro by all classes in the community that
it may learn to comport itself so as to be
model of elegance for all the world-the
cosmopolitan Beau Brummel OF all in
fants.
Commonwealth avenue from the Public
garden to West Chester park is nine-tenths
Of mile in length. In this stretch OF
ward lis best TERRITORY the baby is push
ed in its perambulator. Beyond West Ches-
ter park the avenue swings out into love
" country. through which the baby is
drawn in carriage. This article deals
only with those Commonwealth, avenue
babies that are pushed.
II the casual visitor to Boston reaches
the avenue at O'Clock Oh mild, st Y
shiny afternoon, he will find the side
walks and the promenades in the park Oct
ted with baby carriages. The street Is %
feet wide from house to house, or goo feet
from curb to curb. Fully one-quarter If
this is available for promenade. This gives
en- area of $40, COO square feet available to
be dotted by baby carriages. If the babi.s
travel 10 feet apart, which is fair esti-
mate, the size of each dot will be 100 square
feet. This will allow for the presence of
1900 babies.
Think of it! Twenty-four hundred in

Figures may lie. and circumstances may
alter the number and position of the dots,
but the fact remains that sunny day
brings ont infants on the great Back Bay
avenue in a way to beat all records. The
