ANOTHER TROLLEY CAR STRIKE

This Time. Those Who Went out Did So on
Their Own Responsibility - The Strike
oruerod at a stormy and Turbulent Meet
ing That Continued Until an Early Hour
Friday Morning.
Philadelphia, Jan. 3. MANY of the
conductors and motormen employed by
the Union Traction Co. obeyed the
orders TO strike issued at big mass
meeting shortly before ? O'Clock this
morning, and declined to take out their
cars to-day. For while several diyi-
sions were tied up, but an order issued
by Acting Chairman Thompson, Of the
employees committee, stating that the
strike was not official, directing the
men to return 10 work and give the
committee time to adjust the differ
ences with the company, had the effect
OF causing partial resumption of traffic.
Many OF the men, however, who obeyed
the order to strike found their places
taken by other men when they returned
to work.
The determination to strike second
time came as the climax TO one Of the
most turbulent scenes ever witnessed
at gathering in this city. Tho men
were divided in sentiment, although
those favoring strike were in the ma
iority. The meeting was addressed by
agitators urging strike, and by others
counselling moderation aud patience.
Hiram Lutz. discharged motorman,
who has grievance against the COM
pany, was chairman. He strongly favor
cd strike. and finally at l. 45 this
morning after many hours of excite
ment brought matters TO focus by
putting the question. The 'ayes"
were in the majority and those present
rushed away to spread the news.
A notice signed by General Manager
Beetem was posted a. all the depots to.
day, declaring that il the men do not
return to work by 3 o'clock this after
noon they will be discharged and not
reinstated under any circumstances
The regular employees are gathered at
the depots of branches which remain
tied up and announce their Willingness
TO take out their cars if they can be
guaranteed protection.
THE STRIKE SOON OVER.
The strike lasted until ! O'Clock in
the afternoon, and at o'clock every line
in the city were running their cars on
schedule time, all the old employees.
excepting about i50, having returned
to work ia response TO notice from
General Manager Beetem that any man
not reporting for duty by 3 O'Clock
would be discharged and never again
employed by the company, and in
compliance with requests by National
President Mahon and local President
Thomson that they run their cars. For
about an hour and half the Heston-
vile line was tied np the men believ-
ing that they had been ordered to Join
in the strike. Every line ran many
cars for hours before all the strikers
went back. There was but little dis
order.

of the society are more inclined to
look upon as a specimen of flint.
Henry T. Pennypacker and Walter
p. Bush spoke Of having noticed that
dogwood trees are retaining their
berries later in the season than they
did some years ago. This may be due
to the fact that tho birds which for
merly ate the berries are no longer in
this region.
Frank Nj. Jones presented two speci-

The Pyromaniac's Smile.

Fire Marshal Whitcomb has been
pretty busy taking testimony in re-
gard to fires lately, and while speaking
about examining witnesses the other
day he mentioned several curious
things he had noticed. He says that in
every case where he has discovered a
pyromaniac he has had his suspicious
of the persons guilt aroused by a pc
culiar smile which plays around the
mouth of the guilty one when under
examination. 1t is hardly a smile, rath-
er a peculiar pickering of the corners
of the mouth, an expression almost in
defnable, but it seems to mean, "Well,
I'm too smart for you to catch me, any
how" The marshal says he can recall
a dozen cases where he noticed this
smile and at the time had no other
to suspect a witness, yet by fol-
lowing these smiling ones he has OBJ
tanned the most convincing testimony
Of their guilt and almost invariably
confession from the guilty ones them
selves.-Boston Transcript.

IrileSCent Glass.

Until recently the manufacture Of
iridescent glass was set down in the list
of lost arts. But in 1878 it was redis-
covered and now it is a common com
mercial article. 1t is made by exposing
the melted glass to the yapors Of salts
OF sodium. At the Metropolitan NMu-
scum of Art in New York city areSex-
hibited great numbers of bottles, pr fes
and other articles of glass which We're
made and used before Christ was born.
They We're dug up in Cyprus and else
where. Many of them have a beautiful
iridescence, but it is the result of decay.
Glass will rot like anything else, and
decay has split the structure of this
ancient glass into laminae, or flakes,
which interrupt the light so as to pro-
luce brilliant red, green, pu. e and
other rainbow colors.
