they have already accomplished
has beautified the Cemetery beyond

remains to be accomplished and all
that is needed is money in order

Yelret-coyered coffin to view the body.
So great was the interest and curiosity
aroused that thousands of negroes stayed
from their work ali day in order to visit
the church.

IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE.
The Western Maryland Directors
Authorize Many Needed Changes.

BALTIMORE, April 3.-The Western
Maryland Railroad directors today au-
thorized the construction of second
track between WilliamsDort and Hagers-
town and from Hagerstown to Wingerton-
A second track will also be built from
Zumbro to the western limits of Cham
bersburg.
Additional sidings will be placed be-
tween Cherry Run and Shippensburg and
at other points on the opposite side of
the Potomac. Heavyweight truss bridges
are to replace the light truss bridges.
When these improvements have been
completed the interchange between the
Western Maryland and Philadelphia and
Reading will be made at Lurgan June
tion instead of Shippensburs. The cost of
the improvements Is estimated at S335. .0oo.
The work will be pushed to completion
as early as possible. The Western Mary
land is now suffering loss because of the
inadequate accommodation for business,
it being the connecting link between the
Philadelphia and Reading and Norfolk
and Western.
The cost is to be met By an issue Of .

were discharged on Saturday night. The
strikers assert that no other reason exists
for this than that they have been identi-
fled with the union movement. The men
receive from l3 to 10 cents an hour for a
ten-hour day. and before going back to
work state that there will have to be a
general raise of cents an hour.

FERRoRIzED BY STRIKERS.
MeNicnns Destroy Contractors Sup
plies Near Douglas. Arizona.

PHOENIX, Ariz.. April 3.-Striking
graders along the NacOasri Railway are
causing a reign of terror and all work
has been suspended. Yesterday they
burned a lot of contractors supplies near
Douglas and tore up pieces of track. The
Mexican police are entirely unable to cope
with the rioters, and If the lawlessness
should develop into general and united
rioting the officers would be outnumbered
ten to one.
All officers in Cochise County are guard
ing towns on the American side of the
line, but the Government will be asked
to send militia if the mob on the Mexican
side comes northward.
As yet, beyond the burning Of a few
freight cars, the strikers have confined
their depredations to Mexican soil. Two
of the rioters have been shot and killed by
Mexican rurales and the Jail at Fronteras
is full.
A message has been sent from con-
tractors at Fronteras to the military de-
partment at Mexico City stating that the
strikers are drunk and uncomfortable, and
asking that a detachment of troops be
sent at once.

BRIDGEToN. N. j., April 3.-There
have been several encounters between the

To-day William Daniels was arrested on
the charge of violent and abusive conduct
toward Jesse Souder, one of the work
men. Mayor Hampton sentenced him to
thirty days in Jail. The attitude of the
mayor has caused something of a panic
among the strikers and many of them are
anxious la get back to work.
Harry Sweetser, another striker. was
arrested for abusive conduct toward Ir-
wing Wilhelm. but the evidence was triv-
ial and he was discharged. Solon Snyder
of Reading, Pa, who came here a few
days ago to work for the Farracule com
pany, was attacked late at night by three
men, who seized him by the throat and
struck him. Percy Robins and Burdell
Cline were arrested today, but Snyder

springing up rapidly, and are doing a
rushing business selling shares, which

weston not only an oil market, but an oil
exporting point. The company has not
yet been organized but President Runge,
OF the Galveston Cotton Exchange, stated
this evening that the details We're being
rapidly worked out, and a company, he
thought, would be organized in a few
days.
