BIG STREET CAR STRIKE.
Every Traction Line in Philadelphia Will
DC Tied Up To. day Efforts Of the Ciii.
zens' Committee Ernitlcss.

Philadelphia. Dec 16-At the meeting
tonight of the executive committee Of
the Amalagamated association of Rail-
way employees it was decided to declare
a strike upon the lines Of the Union
Traction company. Ex-Governor Rob
ert L. Pattison and Thomas MartindaIe,
representing a committee of citizens,
were present and urged the men to try
to effect further a, filtration of their
differences with the railway company.
The eforts Of the two gentlemen were
unsuccessful, and the decision to strike
was made. The decision of the execu-
tive committee is not final. but was
submitted later to a mass meeting OF
the association.
At the mass meeting tonight of mem-
bers Of the Amalgamated association Of
Street Railway employees it was decid
ed to go on a strike at o'clock tomor-
row morning, and no cars will leave
the depots manned by members Of the
association, but 1t is believed that fully
95 per cent of the entire force of the
company will refuse to man their cars
in the morning. This strike will tie
up every line in the city but the Arch
street line, and the Race and Vine
street lines. which are not controlled by
the Union Traction company.
Tho Company Prepared.
1t was asserted by gentlemen close
to the management that the company
was prepared for a strike. Offers of
experienced motormen and conductors
from Chicago. Pittsburg, Brooklyn,
Baltimore and other cities it was stat
ed had been received. A letter from
Chicago offered to SEM on 500 men.

Startling Story Of an Indiana Woman
Who Wants Second Divorce.
Portland, Ind, Dec. 16.-Emma FOX
has filed a petition in the Blackford
county Circuit court for q divorce from
her husband, George Fox, and in 1t she
makes some startling allegations. They
were once married and then divorced.
She charges that she then went to work
in tin plate factory at Montpelier and
that during last October her ex-hus-
band drove up in q buggy and intim-
idated her into getting into 1t with him.
After doing so he told her she must
go to Hartford City and remarry him
or he would kill her. She alleges he
drew O revolver ard iiourished it. She
went with him, they were married by
justice of the peace and then drove back
to Montpelier. Fox then told her he
had done 1t to keep any one else from
getting her. He has never been seen
since.

Chattanooga, Tenn. Dec. 16.--John r.
Beasley, a local attorney. was shot and
painfully wounded this afternoon by
Chief Justice ID. l.. Snodgrass, of the
State Supreme court, in the law Of
flee Of Brown * Spurlock. In the Times
this morning there appeared a COM
munication from Beasley relative to the
statement of the state debt in 1880 and
a suit brought by himself in the Su-
preme court to test the validity of that
settlement. In the communication the
following language was used:
After the argument was closed the
judges then held hurried consultation
without leaving their seats, and Chief
Justice Turney announced that the
court had determined to dismiss the
Dill and tax complainants with the
costs. Judge Snodgrass then spoke and
said the two wings of the Democratic
party had agreed upon this settlement
of the railroad debt. No written opin-
ion was ever delivered, and when this
great law suit was summarily kicked
out of court in the manner before in
dicated, one OF the best lawyers of
Nashville, who had heard the case from
the beginning to the end. walked I'D
to me and said: 'Beasley, there is only
one explanation of this decision-it is
a political decision
Chief Justice Snodgrass had gone TO
the Office Of Brown & Spurlock to see
about a correction of the statement
quoted and there met Beasley. He at
once took up the subject with him. de-
nouncing 1t as false. Beasley. who was
sitting on a sofa, rose to his feet and
asserted its truthfulness, whereupon
the chief justice denounced him as an
Infamous liar. Beasley had his hand
behind him and made motion as If to
disengage something from his pocket.
at the same time reiterating the state
ment that every word written was
true. upon which the chief justice struck
him In the face with his fist following
it with couple Of shots from a pistol.
AT the second shot Beasley cried:
Don't kill me. Judge" and the firing
was discontinued. One shot struck
Beasley on the left elbow, infiicting a
wound that will probably destroy the
usefulness of that arm. Judge Snod-
grass surrendered to the sheriff. gave
bond for his appearance for trial when
wanted, and left tonight for Nashville.

at one o'clock this morning on the CAM

pus.
The students had for the past few
weeks missed articles from their rooms
and Durchek was suspected Of pilfering
them. They resolved to punish him
themselves and not refer the matter
to the faculty.
At o'clock this morning the door of
Durchek's room was broken open and
he was gagged and in his night shirt
only was taken to the campus. There
he was stripped naked and coated with
tar. The feathers were then put on In
liberal handfuls and then he was re-
leased. The boys went back to bed and
Durchek spent all night In his room
crying. When he did not come down to
breakfast this morning the faculty
learned of the matter and President
Sprague after having the boy cleaned
expelled him. 1t is thought he will not
say anything to the boys who were en-
gagged in the affair."

HARVEY 81 SON.
THE FUTURE OF MIArll.

The Miami town company had
meeting ut its office in Columbus
on Monday of this week. 1t is ru-
mored that the Memphis railroad
company made it proposition to
build to Miami, I. T., for n guarantee
of $4,000. We understand that the
Miami town company has accepted
the proposition. 1t now looks to a
man up tree like Miami would get
the road. The citizens of the town
are in high spirits over the pros
pect. Miami has the advantage of
all other towns in the Indian terri
tory in more ways than one. She is
in the heart of the best farming sec
ton of the Indian territory, located
on the banks of the Neosho river,
with n great water power only wait
ing to start the wheels of mills and
factories when man shall ask il and
do his part. Look ut the towns in
Kansas that are today using this
same water power from Chetopa to
its head waters. They are one and
all good towns. Miami is the only
town in the Indian territory where
a white man can get a sure foot
hold. You can buy, pay for and
own real estate or personal proper
ty without smuggling it under the
name of some Indian. .. ]. Nichols
aud Newly Hodson built the first
business house of any note and il
has paid them big interest on the
money invested. DIR. W. L. McWil-
liams has just about completed n
building that would be credit to
a city of 20CN population. Miami
has made a wonderful growth con-
sidering the disadvantages under
which she has been struggling from
her birth up to the present time, for
which the Miami town company
alone is responsible. Miami needs
few more wide-awake business
men, and she will get them if the
town company will offer any in.
ducements to men of capital to To-
cate there. The town company has
never failed to put up the price of
lots when there was any prospects
for the town to start up hill, and
thereby drive away men with mon
ey in their pockets who come to in
vest, and we predict this same thing
will be done before two weeks. The
citizens of the town should make
grand and unanimous kick against
this peculiar way of getting rich.
1t is only imaginary. We would
like to see Miami grow to be the
greatest city in the Indian territory
and she will when the people and
not the town company are at the
head of it's government, and that
day is not far away. The corpora
ton business will settle that forev-
err. Miami will then take on a new
life and, like the little babe, just
grow and grow and grow. -.

impossible for me to attend to my
business that day. Remembering
that I had some of Chsmberlain's
Pain Balm in my store. I sent for a
bottle and rubbedthe afflicted parts
thoroughly with II, according to d.
