TlE-UP IN CLEVELAND, OHIO.
Another Strike ON the Big Consolidated
Inangurated THIS Morning,

another strike ON ths Big Consolidated
inangurated This Morning.
Cleveland, o., July 17.-The con-
ductors and motormen of the Big Con
solidated street railway system, who
were on strike last month. went out
again at H. Is o'clock this morning.
Eight hundred men are affected. They
claim the company has not lived up to
the agreement which ended the former
strike. The decision TO declare another
strike was reached after a meeting
which lasted practically throughout
the night.
During the early hours today, not a
car was running on any of the Big
Consolidated lines, 10 in number The
officials of the company have asked for
police protection, and say they will
attempt to start cars on one or two
lines very soon. Large crowds are con
gregated at all of the barns of the COM
pany, but so far no violence has oc-
cured
Business Agent Pratt of the strikers
has issued statement, in part as fol-
lows:
1T is with grave apprehension that l
view the situation, as it exists at the
present time, t,etween the Big Consoli-
dated Street Railroad Co., with its
millions of dollars back of it, on the
one side and the street car employees, a
brave. determined set of liberty loving
American citizens, with a vast throng
of organized labor back of them, on
the other side. Three weeks have
elapsed, and the company has failed to
live up to any part of its agreement.
Neither has it shown any intention of
doing SO, except by many promises,
which have been more readily broken
than made. The council committee
has said thar it is no longer party to
that agreement, although its signature
appears there, the same as the rest
Consequently, we are brought back to
the very starting point, the only differ
ence being that our last condition is
worse than the first. Who will be re-
sponsihle for the suffering, rioting and
disgrace that must inevitably follow
another strike? The corporations will
place the blame upon the down trodden
laborer, because they have money and,
because of their having money, there
are city authorities who are willing to
put the collar around their neck and
say the men, themselves, are to blame
for all this"

Hasty Departure of Two Mon VINO Wore
Cleaning Around tho Jail Mt New Castle.
About $50 O'Clock Monday morning
Chief Warden Bowers of the county
Jail at New Castle took six men out
of the jail for the purpose of cleaning
the cutters in front of the jail. The
men were prisoners charged with tres
pass on the property of the p, W. &
B. railroad and had seven days to serve.
They were separated, two working near
the Delaware street end Of the Jail, two
at the entrance and two near the upper
side of the Jail walls. Several had
acted suspiciously for several days and
Warden Bowers was keeping close
watch on them. While he was going
toward the Delaware street two mon
near the upper end of the wall, named
Clark and Phillips, ran through the
school green and out on Harmony street
Warden Bowers on turning about
missed the men and hastened after
them, accompanied by City Council
man White. Clark was captured and
taken back TO tho Jail. but Phillips
escaped through the marsh.
Warden Bowers stated that he had
no idea that the men would attempt to
run away, as they had been good work.
men since they have been in the jail
and have been taken out on the street
and to the battery to load aud unload
stone from the cars. They had never
been troublesome in any way.
The running away Of the men is to
be deplored, as it may dispense with
good service which has been rendered
to the public for some time by
Sheriff Taylor in having the streets of
the city about the Jail kept in healthy
and respectable condition, which has
not been done in like manper for many
years.

The Rev. William Brooks johnson,
colored, of New York City called at
the police station on Saturday after
noon and told Chief Dolan that Mrs.
Ida Tillison, also colored, who was
with him, had robbed him of 5000 neal
Shellpot Park while they were on their
way to this city from Darby on troll
ley car. Johnson is about SO years OF
age and the woman q. johnson said
the woman was going with him tc
Washington to assist him in pension
matter. Chief Dolan learned that the
woman is married and has husband
and four children living in Now York,
but as no money was found on her and
there was no evidence to bear out the
accusation that she had robbed the
aged minister, she was discharged.
She probably returned to New York
and johnson continued to Washington.

LIEUTENANT DUNN.
Although Young Man. Has Ben IdeI
fled With the NlilitarY for Some Time

Although Young Man. Has Ben Identi-
fed With the military for Some Time.
Ever since the announcement in
Every Evening on Saturday that Presi-
dent Mckinley had appointed John M.
Dunn of this city to the position of
first lieutenant in the Twenty eighth
Reg giment, which is now being recruited
for service in the Philippines, Mr..
Dunn has been receiving coneratula-
tions from host of friends.
Although only % years of age, he
is experienced, having been identified
with the military for several years. He
probably inherits his military inclina-
tion from his father, the late John M.
Dunn, who served with distinction as
first lieutenant of Co. f, First Della
ware Regiment, during the Civil War
and was afterward rewarded by being
appointed United States marshal for
Delaware.
Adiutant Dunn, as he is familiarly
known, became member of Co. A.,
National Guard of Delaware, when it
was reorganized several years ago. He
was appointed sergeant, which. position
he filled with credit. and on July 1st,
1896, was appointed adiutant Of the
regiment. He enlisted with the regi-
ment in the government service during
the war with Spain and was continued
as adiutant until the regiment was mus
tered out. Since then he has been en-
ployed as clerk in the Office of +:
Blumenthal & Go. He expects to join
his regiment on July 28th. He is vice
president of the Wilmington Bicycle
Club and Regular Republican.
The appointment of Lieut.. Dunn is
another feather in Col. du Points cap,
having been made on his recomIhenda-
tion. There were 36 applicants for
the position, but Col. du Pont favored
Dunn and he proved the winner. Dunn
also had the backing Of Former Sena-
tor Higgins and several Senators from
other States who were personal friends
of eA-Marshal Dunn.
Delaware, it is understood, now has
its quota Of commissioned officers for
the volunteer regiments, under the ap.
portionment, which allowed two for this
State. The other commission was given
to George b. Rodney of New Castle,
who was also appointed lieutenant
1t was thought a captain would also be
selected from Delaware and many
friends of Major Boyd of New Castle
expected to see him selected, but the
matter appears to be settled now, and
there is to be no captain from this
State, for the present at least. As an
olficered company is not TO go from
this State, about 30 men who had
expected to join it will enlist at the
office in Philadelphia.
