An Echo OF Arcadia.

Fate was more kind to two Russian
lovers than to Longfellow's Arcadian
hero and heroine. Max Goldstein and
Rebecca Stein met on New York ex-
cursion boat last week for the first time
in eight years, and then it was in their
home in Russia. After they had
plighted their troth there, famine
struck the land and they became separ-
ated. Max searched far and wide for
Rebecca, but could get no trace of her.
She had come to America and had ia
ken up her abode on the east side OF
Manhattan. Three years Max also
came to America and drifted to the
east side.
1t 80 happened that both young peo-
pie went for a sail on the General Slo-
cum. On the homeward trip they met
face to face and in less time than it
takes to tell it they were clasped in each
others arms. They told their story and
an official standing by volunteered to
marry them. When the question was
popped to Rebecca, her eyes" was i'm
mediately forthcoming. There were
plenty of witnesses. Congratulations
were showered upon the happy couple
by the passengers and the band, getting
the tip, played wedding march.

BLACK DIAMOND EXPRESS

BUFFALO, N Y, Aug. 16.--The two
rear cars, a Pullman observation coach
and parlor car, on the Lehish Valley
Railroad company's "Black Diamond"
express, which left this city at noon on
Friday for New York and Philadelphia,
jumped the track and broke loose from
the balance OF the train at North Lee
roy, ten miles east OF Batavia. The
train was running over fifty miles an
hour at the time. The psrlor car re-
NAMED on the ties and no person in it

plunged down the embsnkment and
dropped over on its side in the ditch.
1t was badly demolished but only eight
Of its occupants including the Pullman
conductor and porter we've injured, and
they not seriously.
The cause of the accident is mys-
terry. Where the observation car went
down the embankment the rails SEEM
ed to have spread toward the edge. At
the office of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
company in this city it was stated that
the train was on time, but was running
at the rate of between fifty-fve and
sixty miles an hour.

less OF Shaffer's action. Word is ex-
pected from Shaffer during the day.
The Pittsburg general appeal for as.
sistance to organize labor was issued
today by the Amalgamated.
PITTsBURa, Pa, Aug. 10. - The
struggle for mastery between manufac-
t1rers and men in the steel industry is
now fairly launched, and on the first
show of strength advantage is with the
former. The general strike order is
sued by President Shaffer of the Anal
gamated Association has 80 far been
obeyed by only about $4,000 men, &C.
cording to the best figures obtainable
he e. The first two preliminary calls
were answered by about As, 900 men, 80
that the total number now out is in the
neighborhood of 10000. The strikers
made gains here on Monday over the
showing of Sunday night and their
prospects for further accessions at both
McKeesport and Wheeling during the
week are very favorable.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1901-08-14

The cause of labor-unionism is about
the last thing that is at stake in Presi-
dent Shaffer's strike. The right of la
Dor to organize is as broad as the right
of capital or business interests to COM
bine. II unionism suffers detriment in
the issue of this strike of the steel
workers it will only meet the fate that
has befallen capital, or manufacturers,
or operators of any business or indus
try when unreasonable demands or un-
righteous exactions have been made.
Unionism is beneficent in its proper
and natural sphere; it will always exist
and have enough to engage Its activi-
ties. When it makes one-sided demands,
30 inconsistent with reason and the
fundamental principles of freedom as
those President Shaffer is trying to
force upon the makers of steel, it must
inevitably encounter defeat, as certain
as the forces it is up against when the
conditions and circumstances are re-
versed.

McKeesport is now in fair way to
learn what costly luxury fool in Of
fee may be to town that cares for it's
own future.-New York Sun.
McKeesport is-or was-.he locality
of the National Tube Company's works,
employing $500 workmen. In proc
lamation the mayor espoused the cause
OF the strikers and made offensive ref
erences to the manufacturers. 1t was
bid to the disorderly element.
McKeesport is city OF $4,000 inhab-
itants. Its population in 1890 was
10000. tits one OF the many suburban
iron cities of the parent "Iron City,"
Pittsburg. The works are being dis
mantled and the machinery taken to a
place in the valley of the Kiskimene-
tas, some forty miles from the great
business and financial center Of the
iron and steel region. OF the extent of
the works that are being dismantled
and moved the number of men en-
ployed-one quarter of the city's popu-
lation, and constituting, with their
families, much its largest part-gives
one an idea, which is reinforced by the
further particular, that five hundred
cars are required to transport the ma
chinery.
The town deserves its fate. Its
municipal authorities took the remark
able position not only of not allowing
the artisans of the town to work for
the company, but of not permitting
men to come to the town in search of
work. In his statement of the reasons
for the removal the president of the
company said:
As l say, we are grieved and dsap-
pointed at the course taken by our
men, for whom we have granted every
request possible and whose wages We
had raised, dating from July l, in an
swer to their request last month. There
was no reason why the National Tube
Company should have been forced in.
to this trouble, as the original confer
ence only included the tin, sheet and
hoop companies.
Our superintendent had signed the
Amalgsmsted sheets and the men were
bound by contract for year from July
/, yet they now break these contracts
without citing grievance. The men
have not grievance against our COM
pany, there is not one that can be
pointed out and we are thrown into this
situation, simply on a sympathetic
strike.
AT the settlement OF the last strike
our men at Wheeling went under con-
tract that they were not to demand any
increase in wages without three
months notice, the company also being

STEAMER ASHORE.

fax, n. s., when coming up the harbor
this morning ran ashore at Georges
Island. Sac struck terrific blow for
ward and Immediately swung off into
the channel. The bow pitched forward
and her hull went under water to amid
ships. The greatest excitement prevailed
among the passengers. The Point Al
berton life saving crew. barge and crew
from Fort Warren and the Halifax
own boats began embarking the pas
sengers to Georges Island. The entire
number we're safely landed. The
steamer lies half submerged in the
channel with with a number Of tow
boats trying to float her.
The cause Of her stranding was prob
ably an attempt of Captain Tye 10
avoid striking a small schooner that
went ashore last night in the narrow
channel, 200 yards wide, between
George and Lowell's islands. The
steamer left Halifax Saturday at mid
night. About ten OF the first tow.b Dat
loads of the ship-wrecked passengers
have been landed at Lewis wharf with
their baggage by the tow-boat William
Sprague.
Later it appeared that the steamer
first struck on Minot's Ledge in fog
about four A. NJ. She managed to
reach point off Georges Island
where the danger of sinking compelled
the captain 10 beach the steamer.
