yer of an experience that a brother of his,
blind man, had few days since while he
was In the city from small town Ia Jer-
sey, where he resides, On the day men
toned the blind man was without a guide
and stood on the corner of Twenty-third
street and Broadway, wishing 20 cross the
street. While debating with himself as to
whether he would try Il alone or call a po-
llceman, woman came up and addressed
him, saying: Mister, would YOU be kind
enough to help me across the street? There
is such jam Of trucks and carts that am
afraid to try to cross alone" Certainly,
with pleasure, madam" he responded, and
Offering her his arm, they started across
Broadway, Slg,oss'aE, In safety. Thank you,
madam. Il is i who am thankful, for / am
blind and you helped me to avoid that
dangerous crossing very nicely" said the
man. "Ohl" said the woman in reproach-
full tones. You horrid man, Why, might
have been run ovcr."-N. y. Times.

Five Hundred Riotous Italians March
Across Country in a Mob.
ROCHESTER, Dec. 21.-A large number
OF Italians working upon canal con-
tract under Dunfee 4 Co., at Crane
Brook, near Montezuma, struck for l5
cents per hour this morning. They have
been receiving 124 cents. They formed
in single file and began marching toward
Jordan, distance Of about eight miles.
The crowd was headed by fife and
drum and was armed with guns, picks
and shovels. The strikers compelled all
the gangs they came across to lay down
their tools and strike.
By the time Port Byron was reached
the mob had grown to 500 men. The un-
willing American strikers were held in
the middle of the crowd and were oblig-
ed to walk the entire distance Very
few of them succeeded in escaping from
the ranks. The mob marched along the
road yelling. When the procession had
passed Port Byron the contractors hur-
riedly started for Weeds,.ort, with view
of compromising with the strikers.
Many shots We're fired at Weedsport, and
several workmen were wounded. A
number of arrests have been made and
all the section bosses have been sworn in
as deputy sheriffs.

VA,
Three American Vessels in Har-
bOr and All Built Here,

Mr.. George A. Messick, who has been
on a trip to South America in the in
terest Of the Pusey 4 Jones Company,
returned home last Saturday. Mr.. Mes
sick sailed from Philadelphia October %
on the Red Line Steamer Philadelphia.
He reports very stormy weather on
her trip going down, causing very sad
accident to happen to one of the crew.
During heavy storm on the oath Of
October waiter employed on the
steamer became frightened and tainted.
In falling he struck his head, causing q
fracture Of the skull, from which he be-
came insane and died within four days.
On arriving in port at Guatemala, Mr..
Messick was much surprised to find three
ships in port flying the American flag
which were constructed in this city by
they Pusey & Jones Company. One Of
these steamers had been in service for
fifteen years and had just been inspected
and pronounced good for two years more.
The business outlook in that section of
the country is very gloomy on account of
the exceeding large crop Of coffee, Brazil
itself raising enough to supply the world.
The business is conducted entirely by
foreigners, principally Germans. One
American house and five German houses
conduct the entire business Of that sec
tion.
Mr.. Messick met several capitalists,
who were striving in behalf Of American
corporations to purchase asphalt mines.
There were also a number of Americans
there prospecting for gold. In regard -
same amount of gold and silver used,
American gold averaging premium Of
from four to six per cent. Mr.. Mes
sick was very successful in his mission
and set sail for home December Sth upon
the same steamer aboard which he de-
parted from this country. He expert
enced no rough weather on the home
ward voyage and arrived in Philadelphia
on the 18th of December.
