it there. 1t was part Of her own
caution, guess, to see if all was right.

money from the envelopes and put i'll

be taken out until the diamonds came,
or else they failed to come, and she
should return me the money and l the

All those deals about her trying to rent

1t was part Of the play.

Strike on Philadelphia Street Railway
system Spreads.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 20.-The third
day of the great strike of the motormen
and conductors of the Union Traction
company finds the lines Of the company
all over the city still tied up, and the
backbone Of the strike has not been
broken. 1t is true that a few more cars
were running, but very few. All of
these carry more policemen than pas
sengers. In some instances the escort
Of mounted officers was absent, but no.
car had less than two on each platform.
Not many of the motormen and con-
ductors wore uniforms, this indicating
that green men are running the cars.
Up to noon quiet prevailed everywhere.
but the authorities are anxious and
vigilant.
Everybody Appears to BE Firm.
The Amalgamated Association lead
ers are in high spirits and claim vic.
tory, but the railway officials declare
| that they will never accede to the de-
| mands made through the association,
nor recognize it, The strikers and their

traction company and public officials
! are firm and determined. What the
future will bring forth no one can fore
tell. There is no doubt that a limited
number of cars, heavily guarded by po'
licemen, can be run, but nobody believes
without this protection car can safely
make the circuit of it's route. Neither
does anybody believe that car car
make "a trip at night, even with the
strongest kiud of police protection. How
long this condition of affairs can exis,
without serious riot and bloodshed, de-
pends upon the temper of the strikers
their friends and sympathizers. There
is no doubt that the strike leaders ar'
making every effort to preserve th'
peace and iuduce the strikers to refrai.
from any riotous demonstration.
The Electricians Have Struck.
The electricians Of the Second an
Third street branch struck, and con
sequently the entire machinery Of tn
road was stopped.
The electricians of the electric trac
ton branch employed at the powe
house at Delaware avenue and Beac
, street, also went out, and the machin
. cry there is stopped. The electrician
a have been offered increased pay if the
will return to work.

A New Statute Will lie Enacted to Cure
Some Defects.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-United States
Consul General Penfield at Cairo,
Egypt, has informed the state depart.
ment that q new anti-slavery law will
soon come into operstion in Egypt, sup
planting the convention of 1877, which
was found to be defective a year ago,
inasmuch as it provided no penalty for
the purchaser of slave, but for the
seller only. Another provision of the
law is the abolition of trial by court
martial, and the substitution of a civil
court composed of native and European
judges. While any Egyptian slave
may secure freedom upon demand
many choose to remain in nominal
bondage for food and shelter.

A. Bergman, reported that they had made
considerable progress In their efforts To Sc
cure a better fire-aiarm service for the

cited the Cunningham fire. about three
months ago, when the house was almost en-

times almost impossible to pedestrians.
The members will individually seek to have
this Objectionable practice discontinued
The association was notified of the
existence Of a pool of water on Thirteenth
street between Clifton and the Boundary.
Some gentlemen thought that this came from
a spring in the vicinity but Mr.. p ixton said
that such thing had never existed and he
had been living there for upwards of twenty
years. 1t was then suggested that it might
have resulted from the breaking of a water
main. At any rate the trouble will be
remedied by calling the attention of the
property owners to the condition OF affairs

citation seek 10 have the street ear postal

No dog lover requires proof that his
but he is always ready to accept new evf-
dence in favor of theory already held
Knowing this fact, correspondent re-
lates the exploit OF sailor dog. appropri-
ateiy named Jack.
His master was the captain OF q fishing
vessel sailing from Providence town. Jack
had often been bis masters companion
in his voyages, but on one occasion it was
decided that the dog must be left at home.
The eve OF the captains departure had
come. The dog lay doing before the fire
and gave no sign Of interest when his mas
ter said in ordinary tones: I'VE must
shut up Jack in the barn tonight or he
will try to follow me in the morning"
Presently Jack harked to be let out, and
no one thought any more about him until
bedtime, when be W as to be made prisoner.
Then no Jack was to be found. In vain
whistling, calling, coaxing and scolding
and at last the puzzled master gave up the
search
The next morning the captain started
before dawn on his long tramp to the neigh
boring port. There his sailors were wait
ing to row him to his vessel, which was
one Of large fleet lying in the harbor at
some distance from the shore. As they
drew near his own vessel the captain was
astonished to see the familiar head of Jack
watching his approach with evident in
terest, and probably with varied emo
tions.
The dogs appearance had been as great
a mystery to the sailors during the night
as it wa now to the captain.
! Shortly after midnight they had been
startled by a whining and scratching at
tho vessels side and had been astonished
and delighted to find their friend Jack
begging to be taken from the water to the
deck.
There is no reason to doubt that the
crnature had fully understood his masters
purpose and determined to forestall it.
How he accomplished his long tramp to
the port, swan across the harbor, and.
in the darkness. selected his masters ves-
sci from the large fleet Of similar crafts,
