A FALSE ALARM LAST NIGHT.


The alarm of fire rung last night from
box 161, at the corner of Putnam and
Liberty streets, was a false alarm. A
row was in progress in an Italian shoe
shop near that corner and in the course
of the scrap one of the participants
threw lighted lamp into the yard.
Some one else in the crowd, thinking
that there would be a fire, rang the
alarm. When the tremen arrived on
the spot they found that their run had
been for nothing

Why the Telegraph Operators on
That System Quit Work.
A Statement Given Out By Mr.. Doll
phiE, the President of the Order
OF Railroad TeIeEraphers-
Extent of the Strike.

Houston, Tex, Dec. 1.-THE fol-
lowing statement was given ou4 Mon
day night by President Dolphin, of
The Order of Railroad Telegraphers:
'One reason why the men on the
Atchison, Topeka &c Santa Fe were
ready and even anxious to espouse
the cause of their brethren on the
Gulf line was a deception practiced
on the telegraphers' committee by
Vice President Barr in Chicago last
June. An agreement had been eff
fected between the railroad company
and the committee, and the latter
sent home with the promise that the
agreement would be sent to Topeka
for printing. When published The
schedule had been changed to read
so as to add one hour to the time of
every night telegrapher on the road.
Mr.. Barr said to Mr.. Dolphin that
he had made the alteration after the
committee had left Chicago, stating
as an excuse that he had misuhder-
stood the article as it was originally
written.
THE Gulf committee complain of
having received similar treatment at
the hands of Mr.. Barr, several rules
bearing evidence of material change
of meaning after having been gone
over in conference at Chicago.
A late report from points along the
line says that, Notwithstanding the
statements given out by the railroad
officials, there now exists a badly
.congested state of affairs. At Wolf
City there are so cars of merchan-
disc for movement and not a train
to pick them up. At Ladonia there
are 20 cars and 1000 bales of cotton
Oh the platform, with as much more
offered for shipment. At other
points on the Dallas branch and
through the Indian Territory a sim
liar condition exists.
Other organizations are offering
us aid, and general tie-up will prob
ably result if our differences are not
speedily settled. Fruit and passen-
ger trains on the main line are badly
delayed, and in many instances are
entirely lost. All employees, regard
less of what department employed
in, who may feel disposed to lend
their aid win be guaranteed the same
protection as offered our members,
and viii be returned TO their posi-
tons without prejudice. or not a man
engaged in this strike will return to
work"

A GREAT WATERWAY.
Project of Connecting the Missis-
sippi With Lakes Discussed.
The Canal Would Not Only serve
For Navigation, But Also would
Develop Horse Power to the
Value of $2O,OOO,OOO.

Washington, Dec. 12.-The merits
of the project for connecting the
Mississippi river and the great lakes
by way of the Chicago sanitary canal
were considered at special meeting
of the river and harbor committee
held in the private lobby of the house
of representatives Tuesday night.
The main purpose of the meeting was
to hear from number of Chicago
and Illinois gentlemen. members OF
the Illinois Valley association, who
have been identified with the sani-
tary canal project, including Lyman
E. Cooley, the eminent engineer;
Col. Isaac Taylor, of Peoria; Frank
Wenter, of the board of trustees OF
the sanitary canal, and Henry Mayo,
of Ottawa, III. The Merchants eX-
change, of St. Louis, Mo, was repre-
scented by H. r. Whitmore. Senator
Cullom and Senator Mason, of Hi
rois, and the entire Illinois delega-
ton in the house of representatives
were also present, the senators and
some of the members making adj
dresse after the technical branches of
the subject had been presented.
Col Taylor was the first speaker.
He pointed out the magnitude of the
work already done and explained in
detail the nature of the project and
the cost up to this time. He said it
was not asked that at this time con-
gress take up the work of developing
the full national advantages of the
waterway, but that survey be made
by government engineers to serve
as an intelligent basis for consider
ing the entire subject.
l.. C. Cooley set forth the engineer
ing features of the project. He said
the waterway not only would serve
for navigation, but also would de-
velop horse power worth $4,000, 600
annually. He maintained that a
waterway connecting Chicago and St.
Louis would be justified even without
the Mississippi river, owing to the
enormous commercial development it
would bring about. He spoke also of
the ultimate development of extern
sive navigation, chiefly by barges, be-
tween the lakes and the gulf of
Mexico
Mr.. WhitmOre, of st. Louis, in be-
half of the Merchants exchange of
that city, gave the hearty indorse-
ment of that body to the project.
They regarded it, he said, as of great
importance to the entire Mississippi
River valley.
Senator Cullom spoke earnestly in
favor of the survey. There was no
purpose to commit congress to the
expenditure of $25,OOO,OOO he said,
but only to secure an intelligent in
quiry which would serve as a basis
for future action by congress. Ever
since. ihe, was a boy, the senator said,
he had heard of this project, so chat
it could hardly be considered an aft3
erthought of the drainage project.
Senator Mason spoke in a felicitous
way of the national aspect of the ca
nal. As a military measure it would
have great value in time os trouble
by allowing warships to be brought
to the lakes for defensive purposes. =.

A PSYCHIC PHENOMENON.
In This Case No Heed Was Paid ia
the Repeated Warnings
of Dreams.

Speaking of superstitions and
strange warnings that come to peo-
pie" said veteran Washington cor
respondent, according to the Star,
Il had an experience once that I
hardly know how to account for. I
may say in advance that I don't be-
lieve in any of the business that can
not be demonstrated scientifically.
One day, not a great while after the
present elevator to the house press
gallery had been put in, my mother
sent for me to stop at her house on
my way downtown, as she had some
thing particular to see me. about. I
went, and she asked me if there
wasn't a new elevator to the press
gallery. / told her one had been
put in three or four months before
that. She said that was it, and that
must not ride in it, for she had
dreamed the night before that I had
been crushed to death in it. I
laughed at her, of course, and went
on my way. DoWns on. F street met
an aunt who told me she had some
firing odd to tell me. She said she
had been the day before, with a niece
of her HUSBAND, to see a fortune tell
er,, as, the piece had take" a fancy to
see one ;ofethose fal5rs.. The fortune
teller, however, instead. of telling the
niece anything, had, directed her re-
marks to- her (my 'aupt) and, had told
her that she, had acsrelative, ayoung
man., whom she should warn, as 'he
would be crushed to death Sin an -ele-
vator/ That was rather a jar to me-,
as was her only young nfan relatixe.
|. and as I had so shortly before been
warned by my. ,'rnoth9sf. However. !
laughed at her also. and went on my
way to the capitol. -.
II wentabout-the committee rooms
awhilet ahd,at;last,> quite foTgetful Of
my late warnings, went to the ele-'
vator to go up to the gallery: = The
elevator man, an oldHfellow whom
had known for some time, was in the
cage when 1 got there, and before
opening it he talked to me through
the bars.
"'I don't know said he, whether
I ought to let you come in here or
not
~"'Why not?' inquired. laughing.
Because. said he, as serious las
could be- dreamed last night that
1 had run the elevator up too high
and that as you started to get in
you slipped some way under it, and
when I got down to you at the bot
tom ct the shaft you were smashed
to DEATH
''This looked like the fatal three
warnings and 1 confess had few
doubts myself, but had some nerve
left. and I jollied him ON his no.
ton and got in. On my way up I
told him what my mother and my
aunt had told me, and the old fellow
was so scared that he hardly knew
what to do, but / got through all
right, and up to date I have not been
crushed in that elevator or any other,
but, of course that's no sign IVwon't
be. and if I ever am, the cranks will
be sure to hold me up as frightful
example. l suppose there are some
people who wouldn't ride in that ele-
vator for all kinds of money, and still
they may fall downstairs any moment
and break their necks."
