INDUSTRIAL JOTTlNGS.
Superintendent Davis and Valentine
Bliss Expected Back from the
South Tonight.

Superintendent W. II. Davis, Of the
Sauuuoit silk Manufacturing conf
uany. and Valentine Bliss, owner of
mills in Dunmore, North Scranton ana
Dickson city. are expected to return
to this city this evening, after their
three weeks "trip through the south.
Tomorrow it is expected that the
turning point of the strike will be ar
rived at, as the return of the mill
owner and superintendent Will decide
the question whether the present DIFF
ticultics between the employers and
striking girls are to be decided by
arbitration, or are to continue indeii-
nitely.
IT is very likely that a meeting will
be called tomorrow OF all the mill
owners of the strike region, and care
iul consideration be given the propO-
sition made by the striking girls. From
the attitude manifested by several of
the local operators. whom a Tribune
man sounded upon the question, the
prospects are decidedly favorable to
arbitration.
George Klotz, of the klutz Throw
ing company. is at present in Virginia
looking over the mill at Fredericlis-
burg, but he is expected home this
week, in time to attend the confer
ence. Alfred Harvey. of Harvey Bros.

burg mill
The strikers object seriously to that
portion Of the letter of Superintendcnt
Davis, printed in saturdays papers. in
which he objects to arbitratmg with
the strikers, on account of the extreme
youth and consequent iwespOusibility.
Of somc of the girls They argue
that the arbitration proper will be
done by persons entiloly separat @
from their organization. and suggest
either Bishop HOban or Board of
three, TO adjust matters.

AN UNEXPLAINED IMPULSE.
Some Persons Want to Leap When
They Look Down from High
Places

From the New Orleans Tmc,. Democrat.
The strange temptation To- cast
themselves into space which assails 90
manypeOple when they look down from
high places is very hard to account for
scientifically" said "A well-known neu-
rologist of this city. 1T has undoubt-
edly been the cause of hundreds of
cases of self-destruction, yet it GER
tainly cannot be Classed as a suicidal
impulse because those who experience
it invariably resist with all their
strength and hang back in an agony of
dread and repulsion. They don't want
to kill themselves, but some power
stronger than will, stronger even than
love OF life draws them irresistibly
over the brink.
People with this singular nhrmity,"
continued the doctor, should never eX-
pose themselves to danger, because the
impulse acts automatically and may at
any moment pass beyond control. On
one occasion, when | was considerable

How in the world could your legs fly
up in the air? How can you possibly

"'I don't care he insisted, doggedly.

If ! try to look over the edge.
