MAKING ITSELF OFFENSIVE

Detroit Street Car Company discharges a
Man Who Was Chosen Arbitrator.
DETROIT. Jan. ga meeting of the
street railway employees association to
which every street railway employee in
the city has been invited began early
this morning in Light Infantry armory.
The difficulty which led to this meeting
is the discharge of James Grant, formerly
one of the assistant superintendent of the
Citizens Street Railway company, from
the company's employ.
Grant alleges that 7. L. johnson,
president of the company discharged
him because he had been selected as an
arbitrator in one of the disputes between
the company and its employees.
President johnson refused to employ
Grant, who is now acting as assistant
secretary of the Employees union. About
800 men are present at the meeting.
After short discussion a vote was taken
which resulted with but few dissenting
votes in declaring Grant regular mem
Der of the union.
Another vote was taken demanding
that Grant be reinstated in the Citizens
compauy's employ If President John
son refuses, arbitration will be resorted
to, under the agreement in force. If
johnson declines to arbitrate the matter
will go to the executive board of the ma
tional association.
Secretary Smith of the union said that
any prospect of calling the men out over
this matter is, as yet, exceedingly re-

Deer Are Foolish.

Three deer jumped on tAe railway
track few hundred yards or so ahead
of a locomotive near Trout Lake, Mich,
a few days ago and remained staring in
surprise at the headlight until they
were struck by the pilot and tossed from
the track. Instances of a single dee-
being thus attracted by a locomotive
headlight and falling a victim to it's
curiosity are not uncommon in Michi-
gan, Maine and other regions where
deer abound, but for trio of the ami
mails to be hypnotized in this way at
one time is 4 novelty.

ON THE SANDS.
The American Liner st. Paul
Runs Her Nose
Deep Into the Earth at Sandy
Hook
AND CAN'T GET OFF.
Nine Tugs Around Her to Take
Nine Tugs Around Her to Take
Off Passengers.
Life Saving Crews Prepare for
Business.

SANDY Hook, Jan. 25.-The American
liner, ST. Paul, from Southampton for
New York. struck the outer bar off Hol-
brighton, Long Branch, N. j., during the
dense fog between 1 and 2 o'clock this
morning.
She was shortly after discovered BY
the patrol from Long Branch life saving
station and preparations made to open
communication. The apparatus was
dragged to the place and brought into
use: a shot fired across the vessel the
hawser placed on board and the
breeches buoy sent off. People on board
desired to remain by the vessel as there
was no danger
The crews from Seabright, Monmouth
Beach and Long Branch life saving sta
, tions are all in attendance on the
steamer.
The wind is light southwest with a
long ground swell. When the surf goes
down they will go to her in surf boats.
Among the passengers on the St Paul
are eX-Congressman w. Bourke Cock
ran, Prince Sorg Wolenski, Dixon Walk
er, Dc Z. A. knorpf Harvey B. Brown.
II. e. Fellows, Miss Minnie Sachs, Louis
r. Worth and w. Whitehouse Tine ST.
Paul has on board 81, 100000 in specie
The ST. Paul lies heading about south
west nearly mead on the SnOre. II Is
clearing now. The wrecking tug Hus-
tier passed on out at $50 u. m. She is or
the way TO render assistance to the St.
Paul.
The st. Paul is embedded in about six
feet of sand. A stern line is out to hold
the vessel in the position in which she
struck.
The vessel appears to be leaking
Dirty water is coming from the ships
pumps. Captain Mulligan, of the life
saving crew at Long Branch, boarded the
steamer aud had a talk with Captain
Jamison and he will assist in removing
the passengers.
From the fact that the st. Paul ran
aground at high water it is thought That
she will not not be easily foated. The
next high water will be a little before ?
her off In the meanwhile everything
that can be removed will be taken from
the vessel in order to Tighten her.
Some of the passengers in the steer
age became greatly alarmed when they
learned that the steamer was ashore.
When they went on deck however and
saw the shore they became quiet
The St. Paul was launched from
Cramps yard on April. 10 1895. She is
4355 feet long, 63 feet beam and sos feet
deep. She has five decks and is one of
the most maguificently appointed Tes-
sells in the transatlantic service.
At 2 o'clock there are nine tugs near
the St Paul.

Thurman and Edmunas.

Thurman and Edmunds were the
great lawyers of the senate during
their service in that body, but there
was a marked difference in their char
acteristics AS one of their associates
on the judiciary committee observed:
'fEdmunds can pick to pieces a bill, a
charter or a proposition, but Thurman
can amend it SO as to remove it's evils
and give vitality and usefulness to what
was before noxious and injurious" That
is to say, the latter had the construct
i've ability in which the former was not
SO well equipped.

OF course no man worthy the name
was ever guilty Of trying to tease bis
wife, but now and again one may be
observed who does it without trying.
Such man was Harry Perry Of Penn

when his wife broke an egg Of uncertain
quality into her mixing bowl 1t was
her second experience of the kind that
day, and she exclaimed:
There's another ! b'lieve Joe Nash
keeps all the bad eggs he takes into his
old store for me.
"Waal. now, Lizzie, you shouldn't { fly
out So" said her husband soberly.
You'd oughter hev more sympathy"
Sympathy she echoed. "What do
you mean, Harry Perry? Sympathy for
Joe Nash?''
''No, for them eggs" her husband
replied. Think how long they must
hev been tryin to be good Youth 8
