Sympathy For The Strikers.

ST. PAUL, April 19.-The N. P.
and U. P, employees refuse to han
die G. N. freight and will financial
ly assist their striking, union
brothers on the G. N. system.

non union men, with whom he will
man trains and send them out at
once, protected by deputy marshals
to insure non interference by the
union. Hill says he will soon have
all trains running regularly.

The strike is on in earnest on the
Great Northern. Over 1000 miles
Of road is tied up and 5000 men out
of employment. The tie-upis COM
plete.
The strikers are confident and
will fight to finish.
On the other hand Hill will try to
operate the rood with non-union
men.
ST. PAUL, April, 20.-The Great
Northern to-day sent out two
trains, one being the regular coast
train. They were accompanied by
deputy marshals and the restrain
ing order of the court. The trains
had four locomotives, one being
placed at each end of each train.
They proceeded as far as st. Cloud
where the strikers stopped the train
regardless of marsha1s or restrain
ing order. Marshal Bede started
for that place with an additional
force. Warrants have been sworn
out against the strikers active in
opposing and threatening the
marshals.
st. Cloud seems to be the storm
centre of the Great Northern strike
and it looks as though serious
trouble was liable to happen.

Depew's Broiled Lobster.

q well remember my surprise one night at q banquet at Delmonico s. It was gathering of Wall street men, and of course Depew was among the lot. He was the life of the party, and | noticed he ate very heartily, although I have frequently read that the best after dinner speakers eat next to noth- ing when about to speak. But our Chauncey put down good dinner, and made his speech afterward in the best of form. At the conclusion of the ban quet, and while people were crowdlng around him to congratulate him on his brilliant address, noticed that wait CT entered and handed MT. Depew a box, done up in paper, and minute afterward the same waiter brought in his ove1coat, and after assisting MT. Depew into it buttoned it up. tucked the box under the Depew arm and held the door open, while the man outside whistled for the carriage.
 II was mystified, but after seeing the same thing repeated at several din ners I asked for an explanation and got it. The bundle was box, and 1t con tairred a broiled lobster, which MT. Depew always took home to his wife. At all the places where he dined there was a standing order for broiled lobster, to be given to MT. Depew for Mrs. De- pew. And no charge was ever made After Mrs. Depew's death the lobster was broiled and presented at the door, as usual, but Mir. Depew motioned it away. He has never taken one home since then.-New York Herald.

TYPICAL kENTUCklANS.
Some Caustic Comments About the Speci
 mems Pictured In Dime Novels.

Some Caustic Comments About the Speci-
 mems Pictured In Dime Novels.
 There are, no doubt, a good many worthy people who advise folks against moving to K Kentucky, because their typ ical Kentuckian is a blossom nOsed fire eater, who goes about with his trousers stuck into cowhide boots, slouch hat staggering over his eyes, a whisky flask protruding from one pocket, revolver from another and bowie knife from the bootleg. Their representative Ken tuckian kills man every morning for breakfast and goes to bed every night too gloriously drunk to take his clothes off. They divide Kentuckians into two classes-the horse racers and the feud fighters. They consult dime novel ac- counts of the mountain vendettas as au- thorities on Kentucky life, and they ac- cept and disseminate the opinion that Kentucky is good place for man of peaceful inclinatiOns to stay away from.
 Another picture of the kcntucklan, less uncomplimentary, but as an aver age type scarcely less untruo to life, Is that of the old Kentucky gentleman whose religion it is to Hove hOss and cuss nigger, who has highly wrought notions of gallantry, wraps himself in an atmosphere of romance and chlvalry, worships the memory of Henry Clay, has no occupation in life beyond swap ping stories, playing poker and slipping mint juleps, and is in all respects a harmless, kindly, clustering, inane, in dolent, boastful and utterly impracti- cable member and type of a somnolent society.
 The fault of the seeker after types IS the disposition to generalize on too slight foundation. Such men as these there are in Kentucky. The feud fight" CT is here, though we have quieted him by hanging or imprisoning his fellow outlaw He chiefly lives now in the impossible romauces which space writ CTS have woven about as cOwardly a set of assassins as ever skulked behind a rock or fired an undefended mountain cabin. The fine old Kentucky gentle man is here, too, and may there be to him and his peace and plenty ill the mellow evening of a kindly life. The younger sons of Kentucky honor his vir- tues and wear them when they can, bof- rowing from his courtly example much that tllakes the genuine gentleman. So much do we love him and honor him that We are disposed to resent any rude exaggeration of his lovely peculiarltles by those who cannot appreciate him and who do not understand that the quail ties which most distinguish him may adjust themselves Ill his sons and grand sons to changed conditions of hfe.-- Louisville Courier-J ournal.

ANNIE PlxLEY's DEATH.
Her Husband, Robert Fulford, Answers
 the Charges Made Against Him.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12-Mr. Robert Full ford, husband of the well known American actress, Annie PiXley, 1.-The Child of the Sierras," who died in London on Oct. s last under, it is claimed, mysterious cir cumstances, was passenger on the Amer tcan line steamship New York. Mr. Full ford was accompanied by his sister. Mrs William Fraser, and by Annie Joyce, the late Miss Pixley's maid, who is said to have administered certain powders to her, thus being instrumental in causing her death in order that Mir. Fulford might obtain possession of her estate, valued at from S3O0, ,0O0 to S40O, ,OO0.
 Upon the arrival of the steamship New York at quarantine Mir. Fulford met by reporter, who acquainted him with the serious charges which have been made against him by the PiXley family, as pub lished during the past week, as to the cir cumstances surrounding the death of his wife and the alleged forgeries in connec- tlon with the transfer of deeds and mort gages belonging to his wfe's estate Mr. Fulford was considerably surprised and shocked when he learned the serious ma ture of the charges.
 II have been living in the suburbs of London,' he said, "and have seen nothing of all this l therefore do not feel like say ing very much on the subject until 1 have become more fully informed concerning the stories which have been circulated.
 II can say now, however" " continued Mir. Fulford, that it is all the most absurd rubbish on earth. My wife died despite the attention of two of the most skilled physicians in England. I have been quiet ly resting with my people in London ever since. The course of the PiXley family is no doubt due to impatience on their part because have not hurried over here and turned over to them Annie's estate.
 ''In regard to the story that I caused my wife's remains to be cremated in order that no investigation could be made ihto the cause of her death, can only say that she was cremated at her own special request, and 1 can prove this by the evidence of several people,"

It is expect. ed that the committee will decide today, The committees decision is likely to be the decision of the senate. This is especially true if the committee should decide in fla vor of Peckham. Senator Hill alone has been confident from the first that Peckham would not be confirmed and is now just as confident. Friends of the administration seem confident and say that there would not be the least doubt if they knew the at titude of two men on the committee It is supposed that these men are Senators HOar and platt

DEAD, YET ALIVE.
4 Medical Paradox Which Has No Parallel
 In the Doctors Hooks.

In the Doctors Books.
 NEW YORK, Feb Manhattan hospital has case which breaks all medical records of a similar sort. It is that of boy who apparently died at half past on Sunday afternoon, but whose heart was still beat ing strongly at 10 o'clock last night At that hour it S15 hours after he had drawn his last breath. This is several hours beyond any record in such cases. In one case in medical annals life was prolonged for few hours after respiration had ceased, but that case stands almost alone.
 The patient who has puzzled allAhe resi- dent and consulting physicians of the Man haitian hospital is William Holland, newsboy, Is years old, who liveuANith his widowed mother, Mrs. Virginia Holland, at 636 West One Hundred and Fifty-Hinth street. He was taken to the hospital ap- parently suffering from pneumonia. Not 10 minutes later he suddenly gasped and apparently died. The orderly in the room ran to Dr. Belknap and announced the sud- den death, and the doctor hastened to the bedside.
 When he arrived, the boy was apparent ly dead. Nothing indicated at first that he differed in any particular from any dead person. Dr. Belknap at once began an eX- animation and discovered that although the boy had apparently died there was still a feeble pulsation of th" heart.
 Restoratives were Hr, ,:ii,l and artificial respiration produced by working the arms, just as is done in cases of those who have been nearly drowned. The result of these efforts was seen apparent. The heart beats grew stronges and the color of the face changed from the hue of death to one which plainly indicated that life was still flowing in vein and artery. But still the body lay inert except for the beating of the heart
 The boy had lived hours longer than any one had ever kept this side of the border line of two worlds under similar circum- stances at 10 o'clock, and at l5 minutes after Il he was still living.
 A peculiarity of the case is that the boys heart seems to be upon the right side in stead of the left. The case puzzles the doctors in more ways than one. The boy has apparently died, vet lives.

JUSTICE IN THE ROUGH.
In One Instance a Bloody Fight
 Delayed the Trial.
LYNOHERs HELD COURT HASTILY.

In Indiana the Jury Passed Judgment
 After the Contestants Had Fought It Out.
 In Tennessee Mob Introduces Judge
 Lynch With Some Variations.
 TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Feb. 12 Justice Criss' court at Centerville. a town 16 miles south of this city, was the scene of a bloody fight, in which knives were drawn, and al most tragedy resulted. John All, re- spected and wealthy farmer, defendant in a damage suit for S20O for coaxing William Carpenters wife from her home, assaulted the complainant on the witness stand and beat his face to pulp.
 The fight lasted nearly half an hour, and the courtroom was smeared with blood. Knives were drawn, and but for the pres ence of mind of the justice in swearing in six constables the courtroom would un- doubtedly have been turned into the scene of fatal affray.
 Wouldn't Be Called a Liar.
 The trouble which led up to the court room fight has evidently existed for some time. William Carpenters wife left him on Dec. 12 last and he accused John All and Andrew Dean, both married and re- spected farmers, of coaXing Mrs. Carpen- ter from home.
 Carpenter sued Dean and All for S200 damages In his complaint he charged the defendants with using their influence to make her leave home. John All, during his statement of the case, was called a liar several times by Carpenter, who was listen ing to the testimony. All did not heed the charges, and when 'nrpcnter was called to testify he accused All's brother of steal ing COW and again called All a liar. The repeated charges became unbearable to All, who, on being called d liar the fourth time, jumped on Carpenter and pounded his face in a horrible manner.
 The jurymen, justice, attorneys and audi enCe rushed in to part the infuriated men, A number took their coats off, and friend of Carpenter drew a knife and threatened to stab some one.
 When All was taken off Carpenter, the latter drew knife and made a desperate effort to plunge it into All. When pre- vented from doing this, he attempted to leave the courtroom, as he announced, to the fight began the justice called out six men and swore them in as constableS. When Carpenter and All were parted, the friends of both parties wanted to fight, and the constables had difficulty in hold ing the men apart. Peace was restored, however, after half an hour, and the trial was continued in the blood smeared room. From beginning to end the trial lasted six hours and resulted in verdict in favor of Dean and All. All and Carpenter were fined for contempt. After the trial the friends of both parties gathered at the diff ferent saloons and had several fights as the outcome of the courtroom row.
