As MORE WAGES.
New York Linemen Go on Strike to
Enfore Their Demands.

New York. Feb. T.-A large number
of telephone linemen employed In Man.
haitian, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Long
Island, by the New York and the New
York and New Jersey Telephone Cos.
went on strike, today. Nearly the whole
strength of the repairing and construc-
ton forces in these districts. all belong
ing to local Union No. 90, of the Inter-
national Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers, failed to report for duty, and
$50 of them assembled and sent their
demands to the offices of the companies,
which was the first notification the
superintendents received that the strike
was in effect. No replies having been
received by the strikers by 3 o'clock in
the afternoon, strike was formally
declared.
Committees went to see Gen. Supt.
II. +. Thurber Of the New York Tele-
phone Co., whose district covers Man
haitian, as far eastward as Greenwich,
Conn, and J. c. Riley of the New York
and New Jersey Co. The committee re-
ported that Mr.. Thurber had refused
to see them, but that Mr.. Riley had
consented to talk over the issues.
No agreement was reached, today,
although it is probable that settle
ment will be made. The linemen de-
mand $3.50 day for their foremen,
1895 for assistant foremen and fiat
rate of So for all classes of linemen.
This is an increase of so cents for fore
men and assistants and a smaller ad
vance for some of the linemen. The
men ask for double pay on Sundays
and holidays and one and one-half of
the pay for overtime on other days,
and an S-hour day in stead of hours.
There are several less important griev-
ances, including rules, which the line
men assert are unreasonably severe.

4 Correction.

In the T.. D. C. official columns Of Sunday appears T mistake in the min utes of the Cradle of tho Confederasy Chapter, which wish to correct, as f does Mrs. Chappell Cory, the Director q great injustice, the report as published in the paper making it appear that she was disappointed with the hospitality of Wilmington. On the contrary, Mrs Cory spoke in the most glowing terms of the beautiful attentions lavished upon the ladies of the convention by the rt- fined and cultured Wilmingtonians.
 TEe minutes were perfectly correct as sent out by me to the editor of the L.. D. c. column. It was in all probability one of those unfortunate mistakes som4~ times unaVoidably made by the printers. The correct extract from Mrs. Cory's report is as follows:
 Owing to the absence of the Director, Mrs. Chappell Cory. at the December m sG.ng, she was called upon ta make a report as chairman of the Cradle delegation at Wilmington convention. Among other things she said: "I am sorry I cannot agree with all the other reports of the convention by saying that it was entirely harmonious, and in ev- cry way suggestive of unalimity. l heartily endorse every word of praise given for the charming people of Will mington and their beautiful city by the sea. But truth compels me to say that the eighth annual convention Y. D. C.. was very unruly and at times stormy convention, with an undercurrent of per- sopal arImositics sad to Be. and it took the wisdom of very conservative h ads to bring good out of what, at times, seem"d to presage harm to our noble cause"
 Mrs. Cory stated further that she was very glad to say that some sacrifices were made toward that end. She. too. received a rising vote of thanks for her

DEATH IN ThE CaAIR.
Some Reasons Why Several Eminent Scientists are Opposed to
 Electrocution.

 Is strange that in seeking for sure ana painless means of death for con uvmned persons legislators should havt, chosen electricity, about the effects of which so much remains to be discovered. Frequently animals and occasionally men nave survived shocks of as high voltage as Is usually administered to the coIl- utHlhtd Tn the chair. Several physicians F FWno nave made study of electrical lpTto nave maintained that in spite of me 'tt caranros of dAIth after electro Gut!oh ihu body is still capable ot being restored to life. A Boston physician and hdr"drd professor are convinced that by tht use of artificial respiratton and neatt stimulants within two hours after the murderer has been pronounce,l dead ne coulu De revived. None of the experts who mas expressed such an opinion has approved ot clectrocution as a substitute fo: hanging,

A PosrMASTER's DISCOVERY.

Lancaster, N. Y, April 21st.-Mr.
John Remers, postmaster OF this viii
lage, was taken with Diabetes four
years ago. For two years he doc
tored with local physicians as well as
several specialists from Buffalo, but
got no better. Indeed hewas gradually
growing worse.
He stopped taking the doctors med
icine and commenced a treatment OF
Dodd's Kidney Pills. He used in all
about ten boxes and is as strong and
well to-day as ever he was.
He attributes his recovery to moth
ing but Dodd's Kidney Pills and says:
''If I could only talk five minutes TIC
every one who has Dia betes I am sure
I could convince them that they
needn't suffer moment longer when
Dodd's Kidney Pills are on sale in
every drug store.
II will cheerfully answer any letters
from sick men or women, as think
every Diabetes sufferer should be told
of Dodd's Kidney Pills the remedy that
saved nv life'' ....

posing the men to the hardships of
wading or fording.
"When Sheridan had placed his
quota of wagons in the river the other
divisions failed to send their wagons.
Realizing the Importance of finishing
the bridge at once, Sheridan put into
the river every available wagon in his
division, but scarcely had he done so,
and sent one brigade across, when it
was reported that Longstreet was adj
vancing from cambridge, and Sheridan
was ordered to retire at once. He ex-
planned that as all his transportation
was in the river he could not move
without sacrificing his wagons, and he
took the responsibility of remaining
in position until every wagon was out
of the river. Probably the men of his
division never worked harder than on
that occasion, and, after all. we
reached the point of concentration as
soon as the other divisions. ;nt.
