a new suit of clothes. a hat. u pair OF
shoes and some other things. and about

town he met another colored man..
whom he asked If he knew where he
could get place to stay for the night.
as he did not care to go along the road
much at night.
The man said: ooh. certainly: come
with me-" When he had gone q short
distance the stranger knocked Brooks
down and then shot him through the
leg and then robbed him OF what
money and clothes he had, and left him
lying in the road.
The negro went in the direction of
Primers Point. There he met Consta-
BILE Mathews. who wanted to know
where he got the things he had. Before

Mathews of his pistol and everything he
had. and continued his Journey.

the attention of some people near by,
who heard Mathews Eroan. and came
to his aid. He was lying in the road
unconscious. They picked him up. car

cal aid was summoned and did what
they could to relieve the sufferer.

Plan to Throw Out 5000 Men I'm New
York Has Failed.

NEW YORK, July A.-Apollo Hall was
filled to overfowing tonight with tailors
who answered the call for the meeting for
strike. There were many speeches, both
for and against the strike, but the strike
opponents were overwhelmingly in the ma
jority and the proposition to strike at the
present time was defeated. The meeting
broke up in a free-for-all fight, but no in
turies were reported. 1t was said at the
headquarters Of the Brotherhood of Tailors
to-day that between 5000 and 1000 coat
makers in greater New York would go on
strike. The strike would necessarily throw
out the basters, trimmers and others, as
they have no coats to work upon. The
strike seems to have been precipitated by
the action of the pressers. to the number of
one hundred, who last week made a demand
for piece work. ten hours day and 20 per

are opposed to the piece work system and
they are at cross purposes with the press

The Burlington system announces a sub
scription of $4,000. Nearly all the other
roads terminating in st. Louis have inform
ally stated the amount that they will sub
scribe, but in some instances formal action
is retarded by the absence of prominent Of
ficials from the city. 1t can, however. be
announced the subscriptions from the rail-
roads terminating in st. Louis will exceed
$500, 900 and promises have been secured from
other transportation interests which justify
the committee in relying on $l000,00O from
this source, bringing up the amount actually
subscribed to 100000. More than half the
remaining million is promised and large
subscriptions towards the last half million
are looked for from the brewing interests
