All these taken together must necessarily have

While operating a steam shovel near
Hazeltou, Pa, on Friday of last week,
the scoop plowed under an embankment
and carried with it several tons Of rock.
Immediately there was loud noise, and
the laborers became startled As the rock
fell into car a writhing mass Of rattlers
dropped to the surface and made for the
men. The latter ran yelling to their fell
low workmen to get out of reach. Some
of the latter, believing an accident bad oc-
Cured, rushed to the scene, but soon re-
treated before the reptiles Aiming them

TELEGRAPHERS MAY STRIKE.
Southern Railroad Operators to Vote
on the Question.

Chattanooga, Tenn, April 5.-All mem
bers of the Order of Railway Telegraph

official circular from the offices of the or
ganzation, and upon the Endorsement of
the members on the question. put in the
circulars, which are to be returned to
President Powell of the Order of Railway
Telegraphers, will be determined whether
or not the telegraphers will go upon an
immediate strike.
Several weeks ago the repeated attempts
of the operators to adjust their difficult
ties with the Southern Railway culmi-
mated in a joint meeting of the supern-
tendents of the railway system, and the
officers of the Telegraphers' Association,
at Atlanta. with the result that Gen
Supt. Cannon held matters in allegiance
by promising the telegraphers that If they
would lay their grievances before their
respective division superinter Tents, the
matter would be taken up and promptly
and satisfactorily adjusted
Thus matters have stood until the pres
ent time, when as announced in the circu-
lar letter sent to members of the Order
of Railway Photographers The attempts to
obtain from the division superntendents
the fulflment of General Superintendent
Gannons promise have been futile The
circular states that the super1ntendentS
of the Knoxville, Atlanta, Birmingham
and Washington divisions have refused
point blank to hear any grievances from
the operators, and the latter are inform
ed in the circular that the time for action
has come. At the bottom of the letter is
a coupon reading;
After careful consideration of the mat
ter / vote for -" The member is in
structed to fill in the blank space with

PRESIDENT sTEYN'S SPEECH.
Tells Free state Raad Republics
Have Not Lost Hope.

huVe NOT LOST nope
Pretoria, Monday, April I'm his speech
at the opening of the Free State Rad
President Steyn declared that in spite of
the surrender of Bloemfontein he had not
lost hope of the triumph of the republican
cause
The war, he said, was forced upon the
Transvaal, and nothing remained for the
Orange Free State but to throw in its lot
with the sister republic, in accordance
with the terms of the treaty. The war,
he continued, was begun with the object
Of maintaining by arms the independence
bought with the blood of the forefathers
of the nation, and had been so successful
that it had caused the greatest wonder
throughout the world and even to the
Beers themselves.
After paying a tribute to the memory
of Gen. Joubert, President Steyn said that
the British, Notwithstanding their over
wheiming numbers, were violating the flag
of truce and the Red Cross, and he was
compelled TO report the matter to the neu-
trail Powers.
The President further remarked that
the attempt to create dissenson among
the burghers by the issueing of proclama-
tons had failed.
Referring 40 the correspondence be-
tween the South African presidents and
Lord Salisbury, President Steyn pro-
ceeded:
Not only were those efforts made but
the republics had dispatched a deputa-
ton to Europe and America in order to
bring the influence of neutral Powers in
order to secure a cessation of the blood
shed, and they earnestly desire to secure
these efforts and trust they will be
crowned with success"
After saying that the government had
vaal President Steyn concluded with a
prayer that the Free State be preserved
from being forced to give up its dearly
loved independence.
