VICTORY FOR THE MEN.
End of the Lockout at the Brown Hosting
 Works.

Cleveland, O., July 27.-The Brown Hoisting and Conveying works lockout is ended. This is virtual victory for the men. The proposition of the com pany, which was accepted, was to re- move the black list and re-employ all union men, irrespective of the part they have taken in the trouble at the works The action on the part of the men was unanimous. The union is recognized, and the men will get holidays and pay and a half for all overtime.
 The men are to apply for work, and will be put on by Superintendent Hess as fast as work will warrant until all are employed.
 Committees are to be recognized when a grievance common to all of one trade exists. Both the Browns, the state arbi- trators and the men are jubilant at a harmonious settlement.
 Fayette Brown came down stairs and tried to avoid the reporters. He said he had enough free advertismennt, and declined to be interviewed
 When the settlement was reported by the committee to the locked-out men 1t was greeted with cheer that could be heard blocks away.

A Fair Cycer Toyed With Death-An Indignant
 Pedestran.'

Last evening as the electic car due at the Twenty-fourth street crossing of First avenue drew up there from East Lake to allow passenger to alight a handsome young woman, stylishly dressed and riding with ease. attempted to cross the track ahead of the tfien moving car andswas so nearly run over that lady in her seat, a witness to the rash act, threw her hands up in horror, and @ gentleman so lost his equilibrium as to say out aloud, "All such cases . should be made examples of by arrest by police!" No blame could possibly at tach to the motorman, as he had no right to expect such desperate crossing of his right-of-way. But such reckless riders should remember that when they are hurt the motorman, conductor and company are injured.
 About an hour later a rather amusing collision between a gentleman walking across Twentieth street at First avenue and a wheelman occurred. The wheel man was moving slowly, yet he ran into the pedestrian, who showed him off rude ly, exclaiming, q give you tine d-l if I catch you at that!" The wheelman moved on in one direction and the pe- destrian nursed his wrath as he plodded away in another.
