Jewels, candy, flowers, man-that is

THE STRIKE IN NEw ORLEANS.

AS a result of the continued difficulty
experienced by the New Orleans Railway
Company in attempting TO resume their
schedules, on account Of the conflict be-.
tween the strikers and those who at
tempted to fill the dissatisfied mems
nositions. all the militia in that city was
ordered under arms last night. The
plan of operation has been decided upon
Tor today. The railway companies have
announced that they will again attempt
to run their cars while the strikers are
as determined as ever.
Another riot took place yesterday
morning when the New Orleans Railway
Company tried to run out passenger
ear and the police, trying to retrieve
their record of the day before, offered
some resistance, and dozen men were
more or less hurt.
Gov. Heard was reached during the
afternoon, and after telephone confer
ence with Mayor Capdeyille, ordered
Mai. Gen. Glynn, in command OF the
military district, to report to the mayor.

the military commanders, and arrange
ments were made to distribute the troops

The riot yesterday morning occurred
in the same neighborhood as the one OF
the day before. One car was started
from the Canal street barn about .
O'Clock. with ten Chicago strike breakers
and ten policemen aboard. Two blocks
from the barn strikers pulled up the
wooden crossings and constructed q
barricade on the track. The car stopped
and Robert ID. Koontz, one of the non
union men, got off to remove the OBJ
structions. He succeeded, though sci
upon by the crowd. The strikers then
made a rush for the car, and a lively
fight ensued. There was regular
fusilade. fully hundred shots being
exchanged by the men and police on the
car. and the strikers. At the first volley
from the car the strikers broke and ran,
and regular stampede followed. Their

non-union men for carrying concealed
weapons. Three non-union men were

Mass MEETING large crowd
turned out to attend the open-air mass
meeting at Seventh street and Louis
iania avenue Washington, last night.
The meeting was addressed by several
officers of the American Federation OF
Labor. Much sympathy for the strikers
was expressed, and 500 was collected
for the strikers. Ten miners were pres
ent, dressed in rough overalls and wear
ing lighted lamps on their hats. The
crowd was composed almost exclusively
of workingmen. Some of the speakers
characterized the action of President
Baer and his associates at the recent
White House conference as a deliberate
insult to the President and to every
man, woman and child in America. A
speech was made by Samuel Gompers,
president of the Federation of Labor,
in which he said that the striking
miners were willing to refer their case
to any disinterested committee of citi-
zens, and to abide by its decision. The
Presidents last request to John Mitchell,
of the miners union, he characterized
as unfair to Mr.. Mitchell. The execu-
tive council of the American Federation
of Labor will be in session again today
at Typographical Temple, from
o'clock a. m. until 6 O'Clock. Some
action in regard to the coal strike will
probably be taken.

FIVE KILLED IN WRECK. -One Of the
most destructive wrecks in the history of
the Washington, Pa, branch of the Pan
Handle Railroad occurre ed last night at
Van Emens station, two miles east of
Cannonsburg, Pa. The wreck resulted
in five lives being bldtted out and a
number of persons injured, one so badly
that he may die. The killed were all
foreigners. The bodies were horribly
mangled, and they will be hard to
identify. The wreck occurredat siding
about twenty yards from the Van Emens
station. An east-bound train ''side-
wiped a gravel or construction train at
the opening of the switch. Both trains
were specials running on special orders.
The gravel train, which was OH the sid
ing. had orders to remain there, but,
thinking they could get away ahead of
any other train that might be following,
put up onto the main track. The coal
train come laundering along and struck
the engine and one car that were out in
the clear. The engine of the coal train
was turned over and completely wrecked.
The engine of the gravel train was
turned completely around, and after the
collision was facing directly east. The
car Immediately behind the engine was
loaded with Italian laborers, who were
knocked down like tenpins. The col
Ifsion resulted in twenty cars being
derailed, and it will take eighteen hours
to put the tracks in condition to be used
again.

THE MAN who transcribed quotations
from the Gospel Of Luke and sent the
same to the strike leaders in the hope
that the passages would influence them
in calling off the miners strike evidently
never heard of the observations concern
ing the singing of psalms to dead asses
the casting of pearls to swine, &c.
Men who are susceptibleto the principles
of the New Testament are not likely
to be strikers or strike leaders-that is,
they will not engage in rioting or IN
preventing others from taking places
they have vacated.

represented as being piqued with Gov

ing the State troops for the purpose OF
bringing order out of the chaos which
now exists in the mining districts, the
President dreaming that Mitchell will de-
fer to his overtures. From present in
dications the labor leader has no inten-
ton of doing anything of the sort
Governor Stone in ordering out the
