COMPANY STANDING FIRM.
Cleveland Boycott Has Not Yet Ended
the street Railway
Strike.

CLEVELAND, July 31.-Whether the
boycott on the Big Consolidated Street
Railway Company is having an effect or
not, the company shows no indication of a
desire to change its policy with respect
to the strike. A special meeting of the
directors of the company was held this
afternoon. At its conclusion President
Henry \. Everett was asked if the strike
had been discussed.
Incidentally, it was" was his reply.
rs it the intention of the company to
move for settlement of the striker" was
asked.
No" said President Everett. I'VE are
going ahead as we have been going. We
are hiring new men all the time, and we
now have nearly all we want. Some of the
new men are being discharged when found
to be not the men we want, and others put
in their places. We are satisfied with the
situation, and 1 might say, in reference to
the statement that there Is a division in
the board of directors, that the board has
been a unit from the beginning, and ii is
now unanimous in favor of the policy be-
ing pursued.
on the other hand the leaders of the
strikers profess to be very much encour-
aged by the working of the boycott. and
they say they must surely win, because,
they declare, the public is with them.
The president of the union has been busy
all day listening to the complaints of mer-
chants and others who claim they have
been boycotted without warrant, and when
he discovers that the person who COM
plains is innocent of the charge Of having
ridden on Big Consolidated car, he gives
notice to union men accordingly.
Secretary Bishop, of the state board of
arbitration, arrived in the city to-day to
look over the situation. He said he was
willing to undertake an investigation of
the strike if one was desired. He had a
conference with President Everett, but re-
fused to say what transpired. 1t is inti-
mated that he may visit the strike leaders
In the morning.
Every branch of the Big Consolidated sys-
tenn was in full operation to-day, but, aside
from the Euclid and Cedar avenue lines,
the cars carried very few passengers.
The strike leaders to-day called upon the
owner of the Hotel Garlock and asked him
to refuse longer to permit General Man
ager Douglass, of the Big Consolidated. to
reside there. They met with a prompt re-
fusal, the owner and manager of the hotel
telling the leaders that nobody would be
put out SO long as he obeyed the rules of
the house.

THE OLD QUESTION.
Whether Life with All It's Tribula-
tions and Sorrows Is Worth
the Effort.

From the Glidden Qa.) Cratic.
What dismal old world this is, anyway.
In January and February we are in danger
of freezing; in March we shiver and chill
and are liable to contract pneumonia; in
May and June there is liable at any mo-
ment to be a deficiency of cyclone caves;
before the danger of destruction by the
elements is over gnats, flies and mo-
squitoes arrive in unnumbered millions,
and each one seems anxious to do business.
With July, August and September come
miasma and microbes and green corn, any
one of which, If absorbed or taken in allo-
pathic doses, will produce. a tired feeling
with complications. October Is a bad
month for chills and fever. 1t is also about
the season of the year when the bedbugs
assemble in all the vigor derived from a
season of feasting and make a final and
desperate assault preparatory to retiring
into a state of inocuous desuetude for the
winter. Following this month comes the
putting up of stoves and connection of pipe,
payment of coal bills, winter clothes. etc.
Innumerable things, such as house clean
ing and political campaigns, are not in
cluded in the list of tribulations. How so
many people manage to run the gauntlet
and reach old age Is simply marvellous.

DIR. Wadin says he withheld positive
diagnosis in his first communication be-
cause of the assertion of Surgeon Nickery
at the home that there had been no com
munication of inmates with any Cuban SOL
diers returned since last May or early in
June. With the discovery of the probable
origin of the infection and the two au-
topsies to-day, there can be no doubt, he
said about the disease being yellow fever,
and continues:
II have advised Major Nickery TO empty
the dormitores infected at once, putting
the men preferably in tents. The grounds
are closed. There has been "a very free in
tercommunication between the inmates and
people of Phoebus. a public house near the
grounds having been freely visited until

meet one or more of the local boards OF

TILTED INDIANS CRIME.
shoots n 17-Year-OId Girl in Massa-
chusetts and Fires Her Mothers
House and Barn.

AMHERST, MASS, July S1.-Eugene
Pakahpuer, a graduate from the Indian
school at Carlisle, Pa, shot, and killed
Edith Morell. aged II years, at the home
of Mrs. j. +. Morell, in South Amherst,
early this evening. The Indian had been
employed on the Morell farm for about a
year, and during that time he had paid
much attention to the girl. The murder,
without doubt was the result of Miss Mo-
rell's refusal of his attentions. 1t would
seem from statements made by friends of
the family that the Indian and the girl
had been quite friendly, the former taking
the latter to parties and on drives. OF late
it was noticed that Miss Morell had re-
PEELED the Indians attentions because she
had said they were obnoxious. The Indian
became so jealous that his behavior around
the farm was very disaSreeable and this
morning 1t was found necessary to pay
him of and give him his discharge.
During the afternoon, the Indian came
to Amherst and bought a 32-caliber revolv-
er. He returned Immediately to South
Amherst and while on the way he did a
little practice with the weapon. He was
seen by neighbors of Mrs. Morell while
practicing.
1t is evident that Pakahpuer went into
the cellar of the Morell house and saw
Edith at the refrigerator. 1t is not known
what was, said between them, but the In
dian finally discharged the revolver twice,
one bullet going into the brain. The In
dian then went upstairs and told Mrs
Morell that he had shot Edith. and he
was going to set the buildings on fire and
then shoot himself. He went into the
barn, and few minutes later flames broke
out there, and the fire which followed de-
stroyed the house, barn and OutbuildingS.
After the Indian informed Mrs. MoreIl of
what he had done, she went downstairs
and found Edith on the floor In her fright
she ran to a neighbors house and got the
assistance of two men, who removed the
girl to a nearby building, where she died
in few minutes.
Up to a late hour tonight no trace had
been found of the Indian. The police think
he is hiding in the woods, and they have
begun a search for him
