Missouri AEitators LabOring With Pitts
burg and Fontenac Miners.

burg and Fontenac Miners
GIRARD, May 23.-Instead of the strike
in this district having been settled as
was reported on Sunday, it appears to be
further from settlement than ever.
The Missouri miners who are now at
Frontenac and Pittsburg are doing all
they can to keep up the agitation and
get all the men out Mass meetings
were held at Frontenac and the Santa Fe
men asked to quit work and join in the
great strike, but they did not heed the re-
quest
Another mass meeting was held at
Pittsburg, and resolutions were passed
condemning the city authorities for not
allowing the Missourians the privilege
of soliciting aid in the city.
The miners at Weir City are not heed
ing the decision of the board of
arbitration at Pittsburg Saturday, and
the agitators are still at work. Some
men who were leaders in the strike
of year ago. are against a strike now,
while others are more anxious to strike
than before.

years ago at the Dodge City convention n,
which was based on the vote cast for
Sheridan, a presidential elector.
In discussing the situation, two coun-
ties, Haskell and Kearney, the Popu-
lists were represented as having no ex-
istence whatever, the contests being
straight between the Democrats and
Republicans.
In some of the counties the Democrats
were represented as favoring straight
Democratic congressional nomination
with the resultant three cornered fight,
while in others the bitter feeling against
the Republicans was so intense that they
would prefer anybody to Chester l.
Long.
The opinions regarding straight state
ticket were all one way, and that was to
the effect that it would not be possible
for the Democrats and Populists to get
together on a state ticket. and that each
would nominate state ticket

Wellington School Board Cuts Down the
Number of Teachers and Salaries.
WELLINGTON, May 23.-By the action
of the school board the Wellington
schools will have only seventeen teach
ers this year against twenty-eig light and
the teachers have to suffer a reduction of
10 per cent in salaries. The length of
the school year, however, is to remain
the same, eight months
The action was taken only after very
spirited, almost acrimonious, contest in
the board. and some predict that an en-
tirely new board of teachers will have to
be selected on account of it.

LONDON, May 23.-The Radical leaders,
through handbills and pamphlets are
giving the greatest possible prominence
to the government figures of railroad
fatalities for the past year.
The railroad corporations were largely
responsible for the defeat of the employ
er's liability act and the Radicals are tax
ing this way Of getting even. The num-
Der of employees killed and injured
amounts to over five thousand, of whom
over one thousand were killed outright.
The number of passengers killed, and for
whom the companies are liable, was only
seventeen.

THE AsroR TRAMP's RIGHTS.
The Verdict Against Him Was, IL
legally Altered.

NEW YORK, Dec. 81, 1394--Ex-Judge
George NJ Curtis asked for certificate
of reasonable doubt from Judge Patterson
for James Garvey, the tramp who was
found sleeping in a bed at Mrs. Astor's
house two months ago. and who was
convicted in the Court of General Ses-
sions for unlawfully entering build
ing and sentenced to the penitentiary
for year.
Judge Curtis called the attention of
the Court to the fact that the original
verdict rendered by the jury was guilty
of unlawfully entering building. This
was afterward amended by Judge Fitz-
gerald, so that it read, in addition to
the original verdict with intent to
commit crime therein This. the
rights of the Court, and it made Of the
half-demented wanderer a criminal.
Judge Curtis also claimed that the YER
dict as it stands amended is against the
statute, as it does not specify the crime,
and that for the first verdict rendered,
that of unlawfully entering building,
there is no punishment, as It is not a
crime in the law. Judge Curtis said that
he had the afidavits Of nine of the jurors
who passed on the case, and they all
stated that 1t was not their intention
to hold Garvey for anything other than
the unlawful entering Of the building.
Assistant District Attorney Lindsay,
who appeared for the people. said he
would concede that the verdict should
not have been altered. The case is still

LOOKS LIKE PURE WATER
Mayor and Street and Water

The Street and Water Commissioners

liable authority that new specifications

ser before they are to be submitted to
the public for discussion as to their
merits. Immediately after the meeting
of the Street and Water Board this
morning the Commissioners repaired to
the City Hall in a body. Awaiting
them was Mayor Wanser. Later Cor
poration Counsel Blair put in an ap-
pearance, and the doors were then clos
ed to outsiders.
The conference lasted two hours. and
the officials who had taken part in it
declared that only public business had
been under discussion. Secretary Nevin
stated that it being the end of the year,
Mayor Wanser had called the Street and
Water Commissioners together to dis
cuss business pertaining to their branch
of the city government. One of the
Street and Water Commissioners. how,
ever, is authority for the statement
that the new water specifications were
read and discussed.
They met with the approval of all the
officials present. It is understood that
they will be adopted by the Street and
Water Board shortly after the Legisla-
ture meets.
1t is said that the features of the old
specifications, to which serious ebjec-
tions were raised by Finance Commits
sioners Jones and Hardenbergh, viz:
the standard of purity to be required
and shutting out competition for both
gravity and pumped supply, have been
remedied, so that there is likelihood of
everything sailing along smoothly.
The specifications, it is reported, fix
time in February for the reception of
bids. 1t is expected by that time to
secure the passage of a bill which will
give a contractor all the power of con-
demnation required TO carry out the
terms of contract
