EIGHT HUNDRED
SW|TCHMEN IDLE
Traffic, However, Is Not
Materially Interrupted
on Railroads.
Several Steel and Iron Works
Compelled to Temporarily
Close Down.

: PITTSBURG, Pa, Nov. 29.-Traffic was
not interrupted in marked degree to-day
on any OF the railroads by reason of the
switchmen's strike, save on the Allegheny
Valley. This road is still crippled, and
as a consequence several industrial plants
were compelled to suspend operations ow-
ing to their supply of coal being exhaust
ed. The Shoenberger plant of the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire Company at Twenty
fifth street partially suspended operations
to-day, as did the American Steel and nd
Wire Companys plant at Twenty-slxth
street. The Marshall Machine and Con-
struction Company and the Zugs Sable
Iron Works, which closed down on We'd
nesday night, did not resume operations
to-day.
The Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railroad
is still blockaded at different points along
its divisions. The striking switchmen
have not relinquished hope of winning the
battle They assert that despite the state
ments by railroad officials they are rapid
ly gaining ground. A committee appointed
by the strikers stated tonight that there
were still 800 members of the Switchmen' $
Union idle, and that all of these are de-
termined to remain away from the. rail-
road yards until they return collectively.

She had left the warmth of her apart

EIGHTY LIVES ARE LOST.
Detroit Official Speaks of the Crash
of the Trains.


DETROIT, Nov. S0.-An interview this
morning with Thomas z. Moran, Deputy
Customs Collector at this port, practical
ly verifes the estimate that at least
eighty lives were lost in Wednesday
nights wreck on the Wabash near Sen
eca- The two immigrant cars in which
the greatest loss of life occurred and in
which so many OF the wreck victims
were roasted to death were part of train
No. b. which crossed the Detroit River
from Canada on the ferry boat Great
Western Wednesday afternoon. Deputy
Moran inspected the baggage of its pas
sengers. He says there were at the very
least calculation one hundred Italians in
the smoking car, which was ahead of the
two immigrant cars.
Official advices TO Superintendent Burns
of this division of the Wabash say that
Of the Italians in the wreck twenty es-
capped Unhurt, and were taken to St.
Louis, fifteen are in the company's hos
pital at Peru, Ind, six others are in Peru
and six are near Adrian, injured. Sub
tracing these fOrty-three from the 10
Immigrants Deputy Moran saySe were
aboard the train, leaves a loss among the
Italians alone Of snty-seven. In addi-
tiOn eight other bodies were recovered
and identified, which makes a total of
seventy-fiVe dead.
The first car of train No 13 as it
crossed on the ferry" said Moran, was
q combination baggage and smoker.
IneEe were ABOUT ten llaildllS IN IllS
car, for 1 remember that they motioned
10 the next car back when I endeavored
TO find their baggage. The first immi-
grant coach was well filed, probably for
" people occupying it. The smoking
compartment Of this coach was filed
from floor to ceiling with the baggage of
the immigrants. 1t had all come through
Canada in bond, so L did not examine il.
THE second coach was completely filled
with passengers. my recollection being
that there was not q vacant seat in the
car, even the smoking room being crowd
ed. 1 should say that there were sixty
passengers in the coach. The men were
typical Italian workmen. There were
about a dozen women in the two cars
and half that number of children. AS
worked through the train L noticed that
there were six or seven Italians in the
chair car that was the fifth car of the
train. They did not seem to be members
Of the party Of immigrants"
Superintendent Burns insisted that the
death loss in the wreck near Seneca Wed
nesday night was being estimated too
high.
'sOur attorney, winston said he, has
telegraphed to New York for complete
list Of the immigrants that were on train
No. 13 and when it is received. which will
probably be tomorrow, an official state
ment will be issued bv the road. AS near
2 can estimate now there are twenty
two dead. We have eight identified bodies

See How Many Friends Are Hurt by
Coffee.

It would be just as reasonable for a
temperance advocate to drink a little di-
luted whiskey as to drink coffee, for one
is as truly an intoxicant as the other, and
persistence in the use of coffee brings on
a variety Of chronic diseases, notorious
among which are dyspepsia, heart palpita-
ton Cand ultimately heart failure), fire.
ouently constipation, kidney diseases,
many cases Of weak eyes and trembling
~ condition OF the nerves.
This is only a small percentage Of the
great variety Of diseases which come from
an unbalanced nervous system. caused by
the persistent daily use Of the drug caf-
feline. which is the active principle of cof-
fee. Another bit Of prima facie evidence
about coffee is that the victims to the
habit find great difficulty in giving it UP.
They will solemnly pledge to them
aslves day after day that they viii aban-
don the use Of it when they know that it
is shortening their days, but morning af-
ter morning they fail, until they grow to
Sespise themselves for their lack Of con-
troll
ANY one interested in this subject
would be greatly surprised to make a sys-
tematic inquiry among prominent brain
workers in America. There are hun
dreds Of thousands Of our most prominent
people that have abandoned coffee alto
gether and are using Postum Food Cof-
fee in its place, and for the most excellent
reasons in the world. Many Of them
testify that Ill health, nervous prostration,
and consequent inability 10 work, has in
times past pushed them back and out Of
Their proper standing in life, which they
have been able to regain by the use of
good health, strong nerves and great
vitality, since coffee has been thrown out
and the Postum zgt in its place.

" HE temperance of Nine. Eames
last evening in Verdis opera,
Aida attracted a large audience
to the Grand Opera-house, and,
n while there were a number of seats
unoccupied, the theater presented bril-
liant appearance.
Although it had been announced by
Nine Eames that she had entirely recov-
cred from her cold, it was evident, in the
first act of the opera, that the famous
singer was still suffering from hoarse-
ness She held herself in reserve in the
first and second acts, but in the Mile
Scene she was observed to cough num-
Der of times. In the great aria, "Oh,
patria mia her voice broke on a high
note and a shiver went through the big
audience. A most remarkable scene then
occurred. A death-like stiffness fell upon
the audience, and all wondered If the
woman on the stage would be able to go
through with the scene.
Nine Eames summoned all her reserve
force and finished the act in a manner
that called forth a thunder of applause
She was summoned before the footlights
a dozen times and monster bouquets were
thrown to her from boxes and orchestra
occupants.
The enthusiasm was more than the
usual ovation accorded to singer. Those

PACIFIC MAIL MUST

Commissioner Powderly Declares Dis.
charged Alien Seamen to Be Immi-
grants Subject to Charges.

United States immigration Commission
er Hart H. North received communica-
ton yesterday from National Commits
sioner Powderly, advising him that the
department had ruled against the con-
tention of Alexander Center, general
agent of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany, that the corporation was not liable
for the head tax of 81 on each alien sea-
man discharged at this port.
Powderly calls attention to a recent de-
cision of Judge Toulmin to the effect that
there is a distinction between alien sea-
men before and after discharge at any
port of the United States. When dis
charged such alien seaman is reverted to
his national status as an alien regardless
of his occupation, and as such is subject
to the provisions of the immigration laws.
