TORONTO, Ont, May 1.-THE biennial
convention of the International Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen opened here to-
day Delegates from nearly every State in
the Union and the province of Canada are
in attendance. This is the first time that
the brotherhood has met in Canada. and
the local reception committee has made
complete arrangements for their entertain
ment. The social as we'll as the business
part of the programme has been carefully
attended to, and the prospects are that the
convention will be one of the most success
full in the history of the organization. As
ISOLATED with the brotherhood is the
Ladies' Auxiliary B. r. T., which is rep
resented by Miss A. A. Downing, grand
secretary and treasurer Indianapolis, At
lanta and New Orleans are after the next
convention. 1t is expected that the con-
vention will last till next Tuesday.
In Massey Hall tonight Mayor Flem-
ming and representatives Of the City Coun-
Gil rendered the delegates the freedom of
the city. p n. Morrissey, grand master of
the order; G.. F. Sargent grand master of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen,
and 1. S. Coffin addressed the large gath
ering in reply to the speeches of the rep
resentatives of the city. Prominent local
labor men and Mr.. Coffin said that the
amalgamation of the American and Ca
madam trades unions would make war i'm
possible between the two countries, and
that the border line had been trodden out.

NTeciaI 70 The Indianapolis Journal
RICHMOND, Ind, May 17.-When Gen
eral Lew Wallace was mere attending the
G. A. r. encampment he visited the Gar
field School building and asked the children
what he should talk to them about, Turk
ish schools or how to hight a battle. The
vote was in favor of a battle. General
Wallace draws cleverly and he outlined on
the blackboard map of the most approved
plan of battle, showing the relative posi-
tons of the attacking and defensive lines,
of infantry and cavalry. The children
priced the instruction and the personality
of the man who gave it so much that the
sketch was not erased and the lines have
been traced in white paint and are a fix
ture on the blackboard.

The Now York StriIxe.

NEW YORK, May H.-There was no out
ward manifestation Of excitement to-day
at the headquarters of the striking tailors.
William Cohen, business agent of the
Brotherhood of Tailors, of which the strik-
ers are nearly all members, said to-day:
I'm this city Brooklyn and Newark $4,000
men and women are on strike 10000 of
them in this city, where 1000 shops on the
east side are closed. The strike affects the
entire clothing manufacturing trade The
reason for it is the failure of the contrac-
tors to live up to the agreement they made
more than a year ago.
The absence of Joseph Barondess from
the strikers mass meeting this afternoon
at Walhalla Hall was taken an indica-
ton that Meyer Shoenfeld would be the
leader of the present strike. Shoenfeld de-
livered an address declaring that the strk-
ers should not return to work until their
just demands had been agreed to. 1t was
learned to-day that the contractors had de-
termined to wage war against the manu-
facturers, and number of strikes are eX-
pected to follow tonight or tomorrow.

A Counterfeiter WINS DO Confess.

Special 70 the IndianapOlis Journal.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, May 17.-William E.
Taylor, with numerous aliases, together
with Mabel Taylor and Ida Swinson in Jail
here on charge of raising 81 bills to $40
bills, made partial confessions tonight.
Taylor has been doing the work He claims
to have begun operations at Vincennes,
Ind, year ago, and says if he is guaran-
teed his freedom, he will tell who is to
blame for the business, and who has done
the work ahead of him. He has not as
yet confessed the name of Percy Sullivan,
the young man now in prison for raising
bills. Taylor and the two women passed
considerable of the money here. The women
tell of Taylor's work and the disposition of
the raised bills. The police insist that a
sensational confession is yet to come from
Taylor.

THE APPLE PIE" SOCIAL.

The Apple social given by the Epworth
league at the residence, Of Mrs. Thomas
Rolf, last evening, was a pronounced sue
cess. 1.-The Big Apple Pie" and the "Lit-
tie Apple Pie'' were heartily contested for
ard honestly won, while all the rest had
as good a time as possible with mo Apple
Pie''.
The program was quite unique through
out, the initial letters .B. A. Pr" IL. A..
p" and IN. A. p" being guessed at, and
the one succeeding best, carrying off the
big pie.
After having constructed forty-two
words from initial letters, it is related of
the M. e. pastor, Rev. J. r. Kellogg, that
he felt sure Of being awarded the first
prize. However, be wasn't. A little girl
set her faculties to work and formed even
forty words
After all present had partaken of apples,
the seeds were passed around for q guess
as to the number of them. There were
154 in the plate and Charles Rogers guesslf
ed 153, within one of the number, and car
ried off the little apple pie. h

BANKRUPTCY BILL.

The surface Indications are that the ne"
Congress will pass bankruptcy bill.
There has been demand from come
sections of the Union for several years
for a bankruptcy law. but 1t could not
be passed as long MS the Democrats were
I'm power but now that there Is TO be
new regime soon we doubt not that IL
will be put upon our statute books.
Southern Democrats have very generally
opposed a new bankruptcy bill, having III
mind the shameless frauds that were car
rier on under the old law. For this reason
southern members have generally opposed
the scheme 1t is. however. improbable
that they will be able 10 defeat IT In the
next Congress. We may. however. con-
graduate ourselves, In the event OF the
passage of the bill, that 1t will be admin
istered by a better set OF men than were
In and about the United States courts
soon after the close OF the war. We may
also congratulate ourselves upon the pros
pect that the new law will not permit
such heavy court charges as were adj
Missile under the old law.
Nevertheless, we must say that as far
as we have been able to ascertain public
sentiment in Virginia. it does not much
favor a bankruptcy law. 1t is admitted
that there are some bardships which the
law might ease but It Is feared that 1t
would impose more hardships than 1t
would remove.
In short. while the bill has friends, 1t
has enemies. too. and the latter largely
outnumber the former. We may, how
ever. say that the Torrey bill. which has
been approved by many chambers Of com
merce and boards Of trade. and which will
probably furnish the basis for the pro-
posed legislation. IS very carefully
drawn measure.

OFT At THE ELBOWS.

A new sort OF deadly weapon, or. rather,
a new sort Of dcadlincss in weapon as

This weapon is the elbow. and Its newly
discovered deadliness consists in elbowihg'

days immemorial, there have been per-
sons who contended that the elbow was
a deadly weapon. in that "crookns II

Gotham TO make US shiver every time
we strike one OF our "funny-bones,' ana
are thus forclbly reminded that the elbow
is also homicidal weapon.

was loaded So, there you are; or. rather
Eckenwalder is-in durance vile, with
the prospect. In the event OF Gaffigans
death. Of being indicted and tried for

That il IS horrible TO contemplate the
possible result of such a trial, goes with
out saying. In case of verdict of guilty.

lishmont of the elbow as deadly, homi-
cidal weapon would work hardship in
another direction 1t would result in
hurting many a mans pride; for, seeing
that we have a stringent law against
carrying concealed weapons, even our
dressiest citizens would be compelled to
appear in public "out at the elbows.
Again. the great question Of revival Of
prosperity and progress may be involved
in the determination Of this case. 1t IS
generally conceded that, if we are to
start business and industrial enterprises
to moving again. we must hustle But
alasl no less authority than the Standard
Dictionary gives "hustling' as one Of the
synonymes for elbowing.
