wrecked, was an eyewitness OF the de-
structive blast, and tells thrilling story
of his experience.
81 had just gone out of doors after get
ting out of bed, he said, ''when discoy-
cred, by seeing men running down the hill,
that something was going to happen, and
lnst1nctively glanced toward the point
where knew the blast had been put in.
"As looked the whole face and top OF
the hill seemed to rise into the air, and a
dull roar, the like of which / never heard,
though was once employed in the mines
where large blasts were made every day,
seemed to come from the bowels of the
earth.
I saw that the great mass of flying
powders and gravel was coming directly
toward the house and shouted to Mrs.
Henderson, who was standing in the door
OF the stable, which is about twenty feet
south Of the house, to run for shelter be-
hind the house.
She did so, and think my prompt call
saved her life, for in few seconds great
mass of debris, which must have weighed
at least twenty tons, struck the stables and
smashed them into kindling wood.
THE house behind which had hastily
taken shelter was also badly damaged by
flying powders. 1t is a miracle that neither
of us was hurt One block of stone which
came hurtling through the air struck
among bunch of horses which the con-
tractors had placed in front of the house
to be out of danger and killed one OF
them. Other stones made havoc of chicken
and duck houses and killed many fowls. "

testimony of John Griffths, who was
formerly Barron's butler.
He positively swore that Byrne, the
coachman, had said to him last June while
both of them were in the basement of the

would kill George Barron if Mrs. Barron
would give him $25, 600.
Mrs. Henry Searle testified that she was
the daughter of Jesse D. Carr and the
widow of Henry Searle She knew the Bar
rons and was a visitor at their house. She
felt that she was one of Mrs. Barron's most
intimate friends; intimate enough to have
a standing invitation there every day to
lunch. She had talked to Barron once for
half an hour. She was as intimate with
him as with any other married man, and
would discuss business with him. mot
his business or my business" added the
witness, 'but other peoples business. :"

THE BROOKLYN STRIKE.

With each days reports the street
railway strike in the city of Brooklyn
assumes more serious aspect. The
militia and police are utterly unable to
cope with the mob of strikers and their
sympathizers and street car traffic is at
stand still, in spite of the fact that
5000 militia men and 1900 police are on
duty in the city. AS in the railway
strike in Chicago, property is being
destroyed and non-union men are not
permitted to work.
The grevience of the strikers is that
their contracts call for ten hours work
and they are compelled to work four
teen hours. Such breaking of con-
tracts on the part of the corporation is
unjustifable, but it does not furnish
ground for mob violence on the part
OF the strikers. Labor organizations
gain nothing but public odium in the
riotous acts of their members. Strikes
are all right. Let men strike IL thew
are not satisfied with their work or
their wages. But the rioter who
wantonly destroys property or prevents
Others from working deserves neither
encouragement or sympathy and should
be punished to the full extent of the
laws for which he holds so little respect.
