Divine Origin Of the Bible.

BIG STRIKE FEARED.


Trouble Between Great Northern Presi-
dent and A r c. Men
ST. Paul, Mimi, Nov. At looks as
If another great strike was about to be
inaugurated on the Great Northern sys-
tenn An American Railway union
mediation committee came here on the
Goth, and from that date until Friday
noon tried to secure an interview 6i-
rectly with President Hill, which they
said was provided for in the agreement
Of May, 1894. Mr.. Hill refused TO hear
the men, but referred them TO General
Manager Warren, who turned them
down with brief note to the effect
that they were not employees of the COM
pany. The committee, Friday evening.
addressed letter to Mr.. Hill stating
that as he had absolutely refused TO
treat with it, the matter was again in
the hands of the men, who would dem
onstrate the fact that the members of
the committee do represent the en-
ployes Of the company. In an address
to the public the committee says:
THE great body Of wage-earners, bust
ness men and farmers all along the Great
Northern system are with the American
Railway union as against corporate tyr
amy. The people Of this country need not
be surprised TO see the Great Northern sys-
tenn tied up tighter than drum from St
Paul 10 the coast, and remain so until
President Hill signs the documents which
the men have prepared, and which arc
nothing more than the fuldlment of the
agreement made in May, 1894, by President
J. J. Hill for the Great Northern system
and President Eugene V. Debs for the
American Railway union Our men are
opposed TO strikes, but they are the only
means they have for protection against
wrong and imposition, and Mr.. Hill has left
them nothing else to do unless they want
TO accept slavery"

listened in perfect silence for the words
which he was 10 utter, rose and uttered
q yell which echoed far out IN the cor
ridors. Most of those in the audience
were women The cries which went up
from them fell upon the ear of the con-
victed murderer's mother like blow,
and il seemed to bring her first realiza-
ton Of the force of the words of the
jury's foreman. Her face was averted
as she had nerved herself for the or
deal; but. though possessed of marvel
followed by hysterical outburst OF
sobs.
AS he listened intently to the words
which sealed his fate, Durrant partially
rose from his seat. The look on his
face was one of defiance, and it was
apparent that he had it in mind to ad-
dress the jury. The first cry from his
mother changed his mind, If he had
such intention He sat down, turned to
his mother and took her fondly in his
srms. She rested her head on his
shoulder and with his left arm about
her slender form he held her In tender
embrace, patting her with his left hand
and with his right stroking her hair.
He seemed oblivious to the fact that a
verdict which meant death to him had
been returned, oblivious to everything
except the weeping woman who had
sat patiently by his side through the
long trial, cheering him with words of
hope II his display was of nerve it
was marvellous, and If Of callousness
to any but flial sensations, it was
equally marvellous.
After their discharge, as the juymen
marched by Durrant and his mother,
they all looked sympathetically upon
the sad picture of the weeping woman
upon the shoulder of her condemned
son. Then Judge Murphy announced
that next Friday he would pass SEN
tence upon Durrant, and at the same
time he would fix the time for begin
ming the trial Of Durrant for the muir
der of Minnie Williams.
