Trouble Ended.

The officers of the American Federation
of Labor in this city were much gratif1ed
last evening to learn that. through the
efforts of President Gompers. made during
a visit last week to Baltimore, the Crown
Cork and Seal Company OF that city had
decided to accede to the demands made
by the International Association of Ma
chinists. and require that all their en-
ployes be union men,
The trouble between the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and the Crown Cork and
Seal Company has been on for several
months. and Is stated to have been caused
by the discharge of several machinfsts
from their employ by the company be-
cause the men were members of the Ma
chinists' Union, which Is AFFILIATED with thu.

Pleasant Citizens' Association.
The regular monthly meeting Of the Mt.
Pleasant Citizens Association was held in
the village church last evening, Vice Presi-
dent Theo. A. Harding presiding In the
absence of President ]. W. Someryille The
principal business of the meeting was the
annual election of officers, and, upon the
motion of Mr.. Chaplin Brown, the old Of
ficers were unanimously reelected, as fol-
lows: President, ]. w. Somerville; first
vice president, Theo. A. Harding: second
vice president, E. w. Woodruff; third vice
president, w. L. Cole: recording secretary,
L. NJ. Exley; corresponding secretary, j. r.
Buckalew, and treasurer. A. B. CharfieId.
From the committee on street railroads
MIR. Chaplin Brown reported that although
TWO bills having in view the extension of
the village railroad facilities have been
introduced during the present session of
Congress, there Is little chance of either
becoming a law before the adjournment
of Congress. One of these bills, said Mr.
Brown, provides for the extension tf the
metropolitan road out lSth street TO Mt.
Pleasant. across the village and down
Sherman avenue to 18th street The bill
provides for the condemnation of land,
something to which, President Harries has
said, the company will never consent un-
less compelled by Congress.
The other bill, H. L. No. 29l3, was in
trodrced on benalf of the Capital Traction
Company, explained Mr.. Brown, and pro-
videS for an extension Of that company's
underground electric line from 18th and
Cincinnati streets along the proposed Park
highway by double tracks and on Lanier
and Poplar avenues to 18th street extended,
and thence to point about 800 feet north
of Howard avenue The Capital Traction
Company, said Mr.. Brown. desires very
much to make this extension, and Will do
all it possibly can to secure congressional
authority to make it.
The railroad question was generally dis
crssed, the sentiment of the meeting being
in favor of the Metropolitan line. The
discussion also developed the fact that
the association is opposed 10 double tracks
on any street of the village running east
and west, and a motion was unanimously
adopted directing the committee On rail-
reads to urge the passage OF any bill which
will give the village better railroad faciii-
ties, and also directing the committee to
express the opposition CT The association
to double tracks on any streets of the viii
lage running east and west.
Before the association adjourned Treas
urer A. B. Chatfieid submitted his annual
report, showing the charity fund balance
on hand to be S2i.OS and the common fund
balance to be $50.T5, making a grand bal
ance on hand of S74.S3.

ELECTRIC RAT KILLING.
Thc Mysteries OF the Curreut Too Niue
For the Rodents.

The Mysteries OF the Curreut Too Much
For the Rodents.
Electricity is really becoming very use
full thing in its way. The electrical supply
house in Kansas City Is using Il TO kill its
rats. The basement Of the house is infest-
ed with rodents, which have little respect
for property and eat the insulating materi-
al off wires and the fatty substances about
the electrical machines for dessert. At this
electrical establishment II takes 30, 900
ohms of electricity and at least three men
TO dispatch rat This Is the manner of
their death. When cellar rat Is caught
by the paws in a steel trap, the trap is
brought up stairs, carefully carried by the
chain at arms length, for n cellar rat will
fight, and its bite is unwholesome. The
electrician then comes forward with a
magnetic bell machine, sort of young dy-
namo. with n resistance of 35, 900 ohms
To the machine are attached two long in
sulatod wires
The rat Is laid on an iron plate. A man
takes one wire and applies the uncovered
end to the iron plate. The man who IL
looking after the rat takes the other wire
and polies the rat with the bare end of II.
The rat rcscnts this, of course, and bites
ut the wire. The man with the machine
grinds industriously until the bell rings,
which 1t docs when resistance of 85, 900
ohms Is reached. The exasperatod rat bitcs
at the wire, and, quicker than you can
say Jack Robinson" he Is dead. But his
taking off has amounted almost to a func.
| ton.
They also have an electrical method OF
catching rats in the electricians cellar. A
| large, square plate of iron is placed on the
| floor, and above IL another plate, not SO
| large, and separated from the other at the
distance of an inch or so by porcelain in
| sulators To each plate is attached n wire
connected with dynamo having a !, 00O
| volt alternating current. On the upper
| iron plate Is scattered a seductive luncheon
| of bacon rinds, old cheese and tallow. The
mouths Of the rats down in the deepest
holes begin TO water when the odor of the
feast permcates to them, and they come
flocking to 1t.
When IA rat steps on the lower plate, tho
| current has no effect on him, but the in
slant he puts his paws on the upper plate
| to reach for the cheese the full force of the
| electricity reaches every part of his sincwy
| body, and, contracting it suddenly, Shoots
| him into the air In somcrsaults. The Other
rags observing this, think he is jumping
for joy and hasten 10 the feast. One after
| the other they are shot into the air and
| fall TO the floor stunned, when they arr
easily captured and killed. Thus 1t is that
science lends itself to even SO humble an
I occupation as rat killing.-St. Louis

ALTOONA. Pa. Dec. 25.-On q barren ridge of
the Alleghanies, in the northern part Of Clinton
county. a party OF hunters a few days ago dis
covered a cabin nesting among the rocks on O
hillside. The spot was ten miles from a human
habitation. and the curiosity of the hunters was
aroused as to who the occupant could be. Going
up to the hut. one OF the party hammered on the
door. 1t was speedily opened by a woman of
about so years. who demanded their business.
Tho boldest member Of tho party asked for o
drink of water. In reply the woman pointed to
n spring which bubbled up among the rocks. and
then closed and barred the door.
The hunters carried their story to n farmhouse
in the valley. whore they learned that the

dog, which she has trained to carry messages
and bring provisions from the valley. Nothing
is known of her history before her arrival on
the mountain. The country folk say that
she made. her first appearance ten years
ago. During the summer she constructed
the hut unaided. and mono but a few
children has been allowed to enter It. The
youthful scouts report that the hut Is carpeted
with the skins OF bear and deer, which she
