HANCOCK'S GRAVE RUINS
Move on Foot to Repair the Tomb of
the Noted Soldier.

Philadelphia Aug 29.-Neglected and
forgotten, the grave of General Win
field Scott Hancock is falling into ruin.
The remains of the famous soldier
rest in a vault in the southeastern cor
ner of the Montgomery cemetery. There
was a great funeral when he was buried
and the greatest men in the nation, to-
gether with thousands of his fellow
citizens, turned out to see him laid to
rest. But now the mortar has fallen
from between the stones and no in
scription of any kind marks the grave
of Pennsylvania greatest soldier.
This neglect is due in great measure
to carelessness. There are few people
who know where his body lies. The
only guide to the location of the tomb
is a metallic vase filed with flowers
which was placed there by a chemical
company, and the name Hancock be-
ing blown in the vase people are thus
guided to the spot.
Directly across the river, in striking
contrast is a monument to General
John F. Hartranft. This is one of the
finest monuments in this vicinity. At
tention has recently been called to the
disgracefuI condition of HancOck's
grave, and there is a movement on foot
to clean it and erect a suitable monu-
ment to the glory of the dead general
Those in charge of the movement
think that many Democrats who voted
for him in preference to Garfield for
president will be glad to contribute.

CRITIC is IN JAIL.
Gets Fifty-Three Days For Beating
Woman.

Chicago, Aug. 29.-Albert Critic,
pugilist known as young Griffo," has
been, according to the police, in the
habit of humping his way into a iv-
ing at the expense of persons whose
fists are less powerful.
He will be quiet for the next SO days,
however.
Justice Martin sent him to the bride
we'll this morning on a $25 fine. He
pounded Josephine Bush, in a State
street saloon, at 1 o'clock this morn
ing, because she would not spend her
money freely upon him.
I'VE have had many complaints
about this man. said Captain O"Nein-
1T is his habit to go into saloons, order
up a glass of the best in the house, re-
fuse to pay for it, and, if there is any
loose change on the bar, snatch it up,
and, if one objects, answer the protest
with his fists"
Josephine Bush declared she had
bought several drinks for the pugflist
but when she tried to put an end to the
expenditure she was beaten
When Policemen Kane and McDer-
mott started to lead their prisoner to
the cell room, after the fine had been
imposed, the pugilist gave an exhibition
of his art in the way of a lively re-
sistance. But, at the end of just one
brief round, the officers had him groggy
and on the ropes, and landed him in
the cell without further trouble.
Critic returned to Chicago broke, J"
it is said a few days ago, after a brief
soiollrn in less warm chimes.

NO MORE DUCK TROUSERS.
Ramsey, N. J. Youths Drive New
| Workers to Shame.

Ramsey, N. J., Aug. 2s.-Resorters from
the city in their spick and span duck
trousers have been dealt a crushing de-
feat in the struggle for beauty's smiles
by the town boys" of Ramsey
The natives do not wear duck trous-
ers, and they grew exceedingly Jealous
when they saw that the fair ones were
dazzled by the Respondent white suits
of the city folks" at this artistic sum-
mer resort.
So they concOcted a brilliant scheme.
There is a negro of the village known
as ''Pink-Eyed Charley They equip
ped him in a pair of capacious ducks
and sent him to promenade the main
thorOughfares. AS the trousers cost
him nothing he was delighted to exhib-
IT himself in them.
The next night ten more colored men
strutted through the town also in white
ducks They got the ducks for moth
ing and received 10 cents a night each
for their services.
The New York dudes" who live at
Ramsey are highly indignant and have
dropped the ducks" The local beau
ties now cannot tell them from the
abOrgines and the latter are going
about cheuckling at the success of their
scheme, each with a Ramsey beauty
on his arm.

STRIKE is RESUMED.
Workmen Stand Guard Over Ameri-
can Wire Co.'S Works.

Cleveland, O., Aug. 29.-An negotia-
tons between the American Wire and
Steel company and their striking en-
ployes have been declared off. The
strikers have again taken up the battle
and say that they will fight to the bitter
end. Hundreds of strikers mounted
picket guard around the plants of the
company last night in anticipation of
an attempt to smuggle in additional
employees.
BY 4 a. m. today 500 strikers were
posted, covering every approach to the
works. Each workman, as he came
along was intercepted by a committee,
who asked him to stay away from the
works. No threats were made and no
violence offered. 1t did not take much
persuasion to prevail on all the ma
chinists, laborers, nearly all the handy
men" and a number of the firemen to
remain with the strikers.
1t was claimed early in the day by
the strikers that fully $50 men were
kept from going to work

Stevens was working for Samuel Dol
man, who has a gang of men at work
just west of the water works grading for
the laying of some new track Three men
who We're working for DOlman started
across the track. Two of them got across,
but Stevens was struck by the train,
which was running very fast, and was in
stantly killed. He was thrown a long
distance, and when he was picked up life
was extinct.
The engineer made every effort to stop
when he saw the men on the track, but
the engine was within a few feet of the
unfortunate men and it was impossible
to stop or even slacken the speed of the
heavy train. In attempting to stop
valve on the engine was broken and the
train was delayed for two hours. A switch
engine was sent out to bring the train
and the crippled engine into Topeka.
An inquest was held yesterday after
noon by Coroner Westerfeld and the YER
dict was that the engineer was blamelesS
and that the man came to his death by
being struck by an engine" Stevens has
no relat iVeS here.

Repaid.

New York, Aug. ga passenger
train on the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western that left Hoboken at 5:45 p. m.
was rounding the curve of the Wyoming
station at a good rate OF, speed, when
Engineer Nixon shouted to his fireman,
There's a baby on the track" The
little one stood directly in the center of
the tracks waving her hand at the ap-
preaching locomotive.
Nixon reversed his lever and applied
the air brakes, with the result that the
engine was stopped, but not until it had
pushed the child. knocking her back
about six feet. Conductor Kirwin
found that DR.. Johnson. of Summit was
on the train and called him to attend
the child. When the doctor stated to
the passengers that the child was not
dangerously injured, a cheer went up
for Engineer Nixon.
Before the train again started Ste
phen Briggs Of Wyoming, teh father Of
the child, approached. He told Kirwin
that the child was only 20 months old
and that she had wandered away from
an older sister and was looking for him
when she got on the track, being under
the impression that her father was on
the train in front of which she had sta
toned herself ready to receive him.

brought tears to the eyes of the passen-
gers who heard it was when the child
recovered and asked, rs papa home"

of Mr.. Waters letter.
Mr.. Case and a number of Honolulu
people to whom the matter has been
presented are enthusiastic over the
plan. Mr.. Case says he could not think
himself of assuming the responsibility
of choosing a queen and calls at once
for assistance. The trip will be fine

By way of a postscript to the letter
Mr.. Case writes as follows:

between the 1st and goth of September
viii be the "Coptic'' leaving Honolulu

Daring Rescue of Victims of a New
Jersey Fire.

Eliza beth, N. J., Aug. 29.-Louis
Ludwig, a member of the firm of Lud-
wig & CHASER, dealers in paints, whose
store was on the ground floor of 81 and
80 Broad street, found a can of oil blaZ-
ing in the rear of the store this morn
ing He picked it up and ran to the
street with it, but the burning fluid was
spilled on the way, and in a few mo-
mentS the paint store was like a fur
mace. Ludwig was burned about the
face, hands and shoulders The tenants
in the building, aroused by the cries
of alarm, tried to get out by the stairs,
but fire and smoke cut them off. Mrs.
John Husbands and her three children
were in bed on the floor over the paint
store when the fire was discovered. Mrs.
Husbands ran to the windows and was
about to jump to the street when Street
Commissioner Thompson, John MeeNer
and another man secured a ladder
which they placed alongside the build
ing, and one of them climbed it and
took Mrs. Husbands and her children
down to the street.
Mrs. K. Kanngisser and Miss A Kern,
who lived on the floor above Mrs. Hus-
bands, called frantically for help from
the front windows. Their apartments
began to fill with smoke and fearing
that they would be overcome before the
hremen could render assistance they
climbed out of one of the windows
and hung from the ledge. Some ex-
cited persons in the streets cried to
them to drop from the window to the
er heads, however, prevailed upon them
to remain where they were. Had they
not Obeyed the latter advice the women
would undoubtedly have been badly in
jured, for the flames burst the plate
glass windows of the store window and
burned the awning. Commissioner
Thompson, Mr.. Meeker and their COM
panion climbed their ladder and reach
ed a small cornice on a level with Mrs.
Husbands apartments. Then Mr..
Neeker stood on Commissioner ThOmp-
sons shoulders while the third man
stood on Mr.. Meeker's. The ladder was
drawn up and the tOpmOst man placed
the lower rung across his shoulders.
By this means the ladder reached the
women and they climbed down the lad
der and the men and stood on the cor
nice. Other ladders had been brought
by this time and all five were taken
down to the street. The men were ex-
hausted and on the verge of collapse.
Owing to the nature of the material
in the paint shop it was impossible to
check the flames and the building was
destroyed. The total damage will
amount to about 49, 00
