10000 MEN |DLE IN CHICAGO.
Shipping is Completely Ppos-
 tpated by the Strike.

Tickets Posted Near Railroad Ware
 houses Prevent Non-Union Men from
 Going to Work-The Loss Viii Cost
 the Men, the Railroads and Other
 Lines of. Business a Million Dollars a
 Day-No Hope for an Immediate Set
 clement,
 Chicago, July 1.-The secopd week of the freight handlers strike began to-day, with 10000 men idle anu shp- ping at a standstill. The railroad ware houses, ordinarily a hive of industry, were almost as quiet as they we're yes terday so far as regular business, W:is concerned. At a distance from each warehouse was company of plckets posted to keep freight from entering or leaving the sheds. Nearer the <1e- pots were guards of police on duty to protect the men in the warehouses and to quell any disturbances which might arise.
 Gangs of non-union men brought into the city to take the places of the strikers lounged about the warehouses or in their cars with scarcely anything to do.
 President Curran of the Freight Han- dlers' union appointed committees to visit the various railroads But his proposition had reverted to the original one. further than ever from the ideas of the railroad managers, and 10 hope was expressed that settlement would be made today, or even this week. Jbe line between the opposing parties was plainly drawn to-day and no move of either side was made to cross it.
 Wholesale houses made practically no attempt to send out freight or to re- ceive it. These big establishments were all but closed down. The strike has cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars already, and they stand to lose millions should the conditions which obtained this morning continue. The loss in wages to the striking freight handlers and their sympathizers, the teamsters, to the railroads and other lines of business, is roughly estimated at considerably over $1,000,000 day. The situation is admittedly very grave

HORSE ON A RAMPAGE.
Took a Run Around the North End
 Soo++o,.;y,r RocIyatc ar,d

Took a Run Around the North End
 Scattering Baskets and Groceries.
 A foolish horse owned by the New York Grocery company on East Main street took it into his head to run away this noon. The driver left it standing outside his home on Pearl street. A small boy held down the seat and when the horse gave the first spurt over went the small boy into a pile of sand which saved him. The horse then gave the wagon a jolt, throwing out few baskets that held grocers goods. It collided with q lot of building material owned by Con- tractor DeloWry, who is putting up a number of houses on Pearl street for Harry Willetts The horse received a shock from the collision that sent it headlong against the curbing. Con- tractor Delowry's Workmen, carpen- ters, painters, electricians, plasterers and masons, raised a shout that in creased the horses fright and it bound ed down the street like a flash, issu- ing from cloud of dust. It's speed was so great that with difficulty it turned east on Hawkins street with out running into the house on the cOr- ner of Adams street. The animal had to run now and it fled over Flaw kins street at 8 speed that brought ev- eryone to his door. Arriving at Bish- op street it appeared to be sorry and tried to go no further, but bunch of men going to work raised another alarm and the horse darted toward North square. Reaching this point it determined to go no further, not withstanding that large crowd of people shouted and raised a great hull labaloo that would have. scared any other horse into another run But this horse had enough. It was too hot for running and when tranquil hands were laid upon it it made no objection, but looked at Sanderson's clock as though to see how long it had been making fool of itself.

NEN ELECTRIC SYSTEM.
Street Cars to be Run With
 Electric Magnets.

A Chicago Electrician Has Brought
 Out the New System and Recent
 Trial Is Said to Have Proven Satis-
 factory-The New Invention Will
 Prove To Be a Money Saver In That
 It Will Not Use So Much Electric
 ity as the Old.
 Chicago, July 14.-A change in the method of street railway propulsion is the possible result of trial that has been made in Chicago of. the invention electrician. Small electric magnets imbedded between the rails of the track are used to pull the cars.
 The electro magnets form one-half of the motor and are placed in the ground in line halfway between the tracks. The other part, the armature, is attached lengthwise to the bottom of the car. It is a long iron bar, cut up into feet, and so attached that the ends ordinarily are within an inch of the top magnet boxes. But the pri- mary difference between the new sys- tenn and the trolley car motor is that the new car is not propelled by the friction of the wheels with the track, but by the invisible force of magnet ism.
 Each magnet is connected with main feed wires, heavily insulated, and bringing electricity from the power house. When the car is not running over them the magnets are not mag netic. In other words they are not in the circuit except when the car comes over them.
 An arrangement of the magnets ac- cording to polarity, first a north or positive, and then 8 south or negative, is the scheme for attracting the car and making it run smoothly. In the car, on the other hand, by the use of small storage battery, the polarity of the feet of the armature is con- tfol1ed.
 The great saving which the inventor claims, is in the amount of electricity required.

BELL TOWER CAME DOWN
Ruins Piled 100 Feet High Near
 St Marks in Venice

A Concert Arranged for Yesterday Was
 Postponed After Cracks Had Been
 Noticed in the Wall-The Tower
 Was Built in S8S, Was Ninety-Eight
 Metres High, and on the Top of 1t
 Was the Figure of An Angel Nearly
 Sixteen Feet High.
 Venice, Italy, July 14.-The Campa- nile detached bell toWer), of St Mark, $ church, ninety-eight metres high, col lapsed at 10:4O this morning and fell with a great crash into the piazza.
 The campanile, which was entirely detached from the cathedral, collapsed where it stood and is now heap of ruins. The cathedral and palace of the Doges are quite safe, but corner of the royal palace was damaged. Re pairs on the campanile were to have been commenced to-day. It is feared there was some loss of life. The ruins are surrounded by cordon of troops.
 The first intimation of danger was the sudden appearance yesterday of a longitudina1 crack in the corner of the wall facing the clock tower and the breaking of two windows. A concert which had been arranged to occur on the piazza yesterday evening, was stopped by order of the prefect, with the object of preventing a concourse of people.
 The campanile stood opposite the church, or cathedral of St Marks. It was founded in SSS, restored in 1929, provided with marble top in 1417 and in 1517 was crowned with the fig ure of an angel nearly sixteen feet high. The Ioggetta or vestibule, on the east side of the campanile was once a of the nobilie, and after wards a waiting room for the guards during the sessions of the great coun- cil. There were bronze statues of Peace, Apollo. Mercury and Pallas on the coping of the campanile and it's fine bronze doors were much admired. At the top of the tower a fire watch stationed. The ascent of the tower was made from the inside by a wind- ing inclined plane of thirty-eight bends and lastly by few steps. At sunset a magnificent spectacle could be wit messed from the top of the tower.
 The clock tower stands opposite the campanile.
 The ruins are piled up to a height of 100 feet and the piazza di San Marco and the adjoining squares are covered with debris and dust. Some damage was done to Sansoyino 1oggetta or yes tibule on the east side of the campa- nile

Exciting Scene in St Paurs Baptist
 Church (ColoreO, Boston.


 Church (Colored), Boston. Boston, July 14.-A most exciting scene was enacted at St PauPs Bap- tist church, (colored), at the close of yesterday mornings services when as the continuation of troubles that have existed between portion of the soci- ety and the former pastor, Rev Simon F. w. Drew, the latter was thrown bodily from the church by half doz- len constables. A faction of the church has been trying to have MT Drew resign, but he has defed their attempts and has had quite a number of supporters. On account of the so- ciety's financial difficulties the Boston Baptist City Mission society acts as trustee of the church and yesterdays meeting was held under their direc- tion. Rev MT Drew applied to Judge Bell of the superior court for an in junction to prevent the holding of yes terday's services, but the injunction was not granted and it was in view of warnings that attempts would be made to break up the meeting that the trustee society installed force of con- stables.
 Rev MT Drew occupied a seat in the auditorium and interrupted the ser mon several times by attempting to assert his alleged rights and intimated that he would not leave the church un- less he was forcibly removed.
 At the close of the services the re- quest was made that everyone should leave the church and all complied ex- cept the defiant pastor and the con- stables, the congregation lining up in the street awaiting developments. They soon same, and MT Drew made forcible exit from the front door and landed on the sidewalk with the constables upon him. His hat was knocked off while his personal appear ance indicated that he had not been ejected without a struggle. He then attempted to address the crowd, but his remarks were drowned by misses and jeers and he quickly took his de- parture-

ECONOMY HE WATCH WORD
President Lynch Gives His Views of Economic League.

There Will Be No Upsetting of Pres
 ent Laws and Customs, Providing
 They Are for the Good of the Peo-
 ple-He Advises a Careful Reading
 of the Leagues Platform-The Fee
 System, He Thinks, Should Be Abol-
 ished-
 A Democrat reporter had an inter- view to-day with James M. Lynch, who was elected president of the Eco homie league at it's meeting yesterday afternoon. President Lynch ex- pressed himself as follows: Many persons think that the league intends to reyolutionize things. That is not so. It intends to pursue a conserya- tive policy to bring about necessary reforms. We believe that the rural voters, who have no interests in a city, have no right to force us to give up valuable municipal franchises with out our consent. We believe also that while being generous to the crea- tors of all Wealth-the laboring men w9 should practice economy in city affairs. No office in the gift of the municipality should have any fees at tached to it. There should be a spe- cific salary and all fees should go into the city treasury. A careful reading of the leagues platform will well re- pay the taxpayers. Everybody who believes in an economical administra- tion will be welcome. There is no reason why this city, being the banner labor city in the state, should not have the banner Economic league in the state and this will be accomplished when the common people take a deeper interest in municipal affairs"

 Although ground has not yet been broken for the proposed new school building in the south end, still lively race is on for the janitorship. Sev- eral good men have signified their will ingness to act in that capacity and as but one can get it it is safe to state that many will be disappointed. One of the school officials told a Democrat reporter to-day that he thinks the board of education will hire a jauitor for that building who will be capable of doing other work besides doing chores around the school. He didn't see why it would not be gooJ plar to secure the services of q man who would be competent to manage the Kindergarten class and at the same time perform all the duties of a jani- tor.
