Trouble Looked for.

Fifteen Hundred Men Walk Out--Serious
Trouble Looked for.
NEWPORT NEWS, Va, May 1T is
intimated that /. 500 men went out on a
strike at the Newport News Ship Build
ing and Dry Dock Company's yard this
afternoon.
The strike was caused by the intro
duction to day Of a new time-keeping
system.
The outside machinists and boiler
makers went out this afternoon at 4
o'clock, and during the next two hours
the different departments quit work.
There were a number Of meetings to-
night, at which an attempt was made
to settle the difficulty. 1t is feared that
there will be serious trouble here to-
morrow, but little reliable information
can be obtained, the air being full of
rumors.
NORFOLK, Va, May "A special to
the Virginian from Newport News
says:
In an interview, Superintendent
Smith said that the men we're opposed
to the clock system of time-keeping
about to be inaugurated by the com.
pany, without understanding it; that
there is no exception to the rule, since
men and foremen are alike obliged to
use the key and clocks; that the sys-
tenn is not to go into effect until the
men are familiar with it, at which
time they will certainly like it. The
superintendent said that about n

Street Commissioner Dickey's Wife
Struck Him With a Stove LITTER.
BELvIDERE, N. J., May Street
Commissioner William H. Dickey,
during a quarrel with his wife last
night, received iriuries which may
prove fatal. The injured man is in the
hospital and his wife cannot be found.
How the quarrel started nobody
knows. Dickey is not a drinking man,
and is we'll thought of here. His wife
has always been regarded as e. quiet
and refined woman. 1t is said that the
couple had some words at the table.
and that Diokey picked up an album
and threw it at his wife, knocking her
down. She arose, and he again knocked
her to the floor. RegaiDing her feet g.
second time, it is said, the woman seized
an iron stove shaker and struck her
husband terrible blow across the head,
frscsuring his skull. She then fed
from the house.
Commissioner Dickey became con
scious soon after the blow was struck,
and summoned assistance. A doctor
advised that the man be removed to
the hospital, where he was taken, He
is likely to die.

ing the thunderstorm this afterl oop
car 131 of the Midtown line was com
ing through George street, when the
trolley wire was strck by lightning.
The electricity ran down the pole and
entered the car. A portion of the bolt
entered the lighting circuit, and, reach
ing the incandescent globes, burned
them out.
So great was the heat in the lamps,
that the glass globes were melted and
most of the glass fell to the fl DOR. Some
drops of the molten glass fell on the
laps of two women who rel in the
car, and more fell on their hats.
On reaching the Office of the com
pany the women showed their hats and
dresses, and their demand for the re-
placing of the ruined articles was taken
into consideration. Another car on
the Burnet street branch was crippled
by the burning out of some of the coils,
and had to be assisted to the power
house.

PATERSON. N. j., May 5.-One child
was killed, another probably fatally
hurt, and a dozen adults more or less
bruised by a frightened team on Main
street, near Market, this morning. i
The accident took place during a Cir;
Gus parade while the sidewalks were
packed with people. A team attached
to a loaded coal wagon became fright
ened, and, getting beyond the control
OF the driver, William Fl. Sch6 fGer,
plunged through the thickest of the
crowd for fifty feet, when it brought
up against a fire hydrant.
Edward Schulz, aged ten years, of
26 Cross street, was trampled to the
ground and the wheels of the wagon
passed over his breast. He died at ST.
Joseph's Hospital a few hours later.
Olga Blossoms legs and arms were ter
rlbly crushed. Her father was badly
hurt about the head and shoulders
while trying to rescue her. They are
at the Oleson home, II Gin on street,
1t is believed the girl will die.
At least a dozen persons, mostly
adults, were so seriously injured as to
require medical attention.
Driver Schaffner was arrested. but
released on evidence that he was in no
way responsible for the accident.

The Vanderbilt House.

The handsome home of Cornelius
Vanderbilt on Fifth avenue is receiving
new decorations. Groups of classic fig
ures are being carved upon the porte
cochere.
The driveway reaches the house by
dipping under the massive porte cochere.
About the columns which support
the roof of this are now scaffolds upon
which are models Of classic groups of
men, women and children. Stonecut-
ters under the direction of sculptor,
are copying the figures with chisel and
mallet upon the sides of the great pedes-
tails which support the columns.
The groups when finished will cover
the sides of the pedestals, except on
those nearest the house. They are six in
number and will be in bas-relief. Mu
sic, literature and art are some Of the
pleasures which the groups symbolic.
Each group will be an art gem in itself.
The house has long been regarded as
one of the handsomest in America and
is artistic within and without. Even

the grounds in which the house sits is

Citizens Of the effete monarchjes Of
Europe will take deal of educating by
Mark Twain before they know an
American joke when they see one. The
Paris Herald, initiating the SILLY sea-
son" controversies Of the English pa
pers, recently started discussion on
the question, "Do Chicago ladies and
gentlemen use forks?" and about half
the idle Americans in Paris amused
themselves by sending The Herald guy
ing letters about Chicago manners But
the Parisians took these illusions in the
most sober earnest, and consequently
their idea Of the barbarity of American
customs is more fixed than ever. a
Havre manufacturer, for instance, writes
for information about establishing him
self in business III Chicago. He says be
is the most extensive manufacturer Of
forks III France, and as he learns that
article has only lately been introduced
in Chicago he thinks he could make a
good thing by establishing q branch

win Continue to Ride the Wheel.

That the recent attempt at organized
denunciation Of women who ride the BIZ
cycle should have fallen fiat is in ac-
cordance with the eternal fitness Of
things. Very likely crusade against
the woman bicyclist might have gained
some Roadway six or eight years ago,
when women first began to ride the BIZ
cycle, for there is always an ultracon-
servative class that regards any change
in woman's conventional dress or habits
Of life as immodest Women have been
zoo much influenced by this ultracon-

SEVEN MILES OF SOLDIERS.
The Iuprcssivcness of the Recent Review
at Goeriitz.

The I1nprcssiveness of the Recent Review
at Goerlitz.
The Germans know how to make
good show with troops. At the maneu-
yers on Thursday Mt Goerlitz $4,000
men, Z, 900 horses and 400 guns were
in action. The line was seven miles
long. These soldiers are trained to the
highest point, and the spectacle was o
brilliant one It was intended to i'm
press the people at home with the
strength Of the government, and those
outside are supposed to learn from it the
sort Of enemies they would meet If war
should arise. Germany is on splendid
war footing. The young emperor is a
soldier BY his energy and restless NOV
ing all over the empire he shows his
subjects what deep interest he takes
in the army, as well rs in other branches
Of his government The ozar, Of course,
kept his eyes open during bis trip
through Germany.
From our point of view the with
drawing of over 400, 900 men from pro-
ductive operations might seem useless
tax on the people, but standing army
is, Of course, o necessity for Germany.
There is not the slightest hope that the
dream of those who are anxious that the
great nations Of Europe shall break up
their armed camps and sell their ships
of-war will ever DO realized. The ambi
ton of the rulers and the jealousy of
the people are too powerful forces for
that to take place There is fur more
probability that tho ornaments of the
nations that arc likely to come into col
lision will be Increased rather than re-
duced.
Germany in reality seams not to suf-
fer greatly from tho heavy charge of
sustaining SO many mon. Germany Is
no longer an agricultural nation. She
has become very important factor IN
the manufacturing world-so impor-
tant, indeed, us study of her exports
will show, that England is watching
her progress il manufacturing with
jealous eyes Germany's foreign trade
is steadily increasing, and III some I'M
portant branches she has q monopoly.

Quickness and the inventive skill that
characterize the American skilled me-
chanic, but they make up for these i'll
thoroughness and cNacu!ess i'll their
work. They may exhibit some slowness
in reaching their point, but they accom-
plish i'll their way what they undertake.
The love of country is very strong among
the Germans. The nation is welded to-
gether today as powerfully as it ever
was. If war should arise, the people
would stand together as solidly as they
have ever done But there is no indica-
ton that war is near.-Baltimore Amer
