STRIKERS WENT TO WORK.
For a Few There Were No Jobs in BID
deford Machine shops.

Biddsford. April IL The workmen Of
the SAco and Pettss machine shop who
have been out on strike since March u.
returned to work this morning having
abandoned their demand for q union
shop and accepting the conditions under
which the agent had stated that he would
take them back. Some Of the men were
sent out after reporting for work but
were told to return later and places
would be provided for them. Over one
hundred new men have been hired Into
the shop during the strike, and Q resrgan-
ization OF the crew is therefore necessary
though the agent has agreed to give the
strikers their old places whenever pcs
sible, though he will still retain the new
hands As he prop oses to increase the crew
largely beyond hat Il WAS before ths
strike when about eight hundred hands
were mployed.
There were no incidents Of Importance
about the gates when this union men
went in to work, and excspt for little
cheering everything was quiet and

A. ]. Simmons, negro hack driver,
yesterday attempted to take out a peace
warrant against a negro named Hodges

of inflicting corporal punishment upon
him for driving in his carriage runaway
couple to the station.
Simmons IS a hack driver and says that
he did not know the couple were engaged
in the clipping act.
The runaway couple were negro
preacher named Simmons, and negro
woman whose name cannot be ascertain
ed The preacher is holiness divine,
and processes to cure by the laying on of
hands. The couple had boarded the west
bound Southern train Wednesday night,
but just as it was pulling off two negro
men rushed through the cars looking for
the runaway woman. She was evidently
expecting pursuit and jumped from the
baggage car and started at a run through
the depot and up Dawson street Just
behind her, in full chase were dozen or
mere of negroes, yelling Stop her,
"Sltop her" She was caught after a
short but spirited chase and brought back
to the depot. Her nd-box and other
belongings were taken off the train and
husband.
The affair has created quite a sensa-
tion among the negroes.

built on ordinary lines can be driven
at given rate Of speed provided she has
the engines and the coal capacity, but
the amount of coal consumed increases
very rapidly with the speed, For ex-

to drive a steamer at a speed OF fifteen

Of ten knots, and four times as much
