HOWARD GOULD'S SHEEP.
Laborers Drove Them Into Deep Water Where They Drowned.

The Animals Were Valuable, Having
 Been Imported The Workmen Were
 Told to Wash Them, Preparatory to
 Shearing ThemIt May Be That
 They Drove Them Into the Deep
 Water for Spite.
 Port Washington, L. l., May 29.-By stupidity or treachery on the part of laborers employed on the farm of Howard Gould near this place, por- tton of flock of valuable imported sheep were drowned Tuesday.
 The superintendent of the farm Gx- rected some Italian laiborers to drive the sheep down to the bay to wash them,a preparatory to their being sheared. There were about thirty inn ported sheep in the flock. Before the foreman learned what they were do ing the Italians drove the sheep off the end of the dock into deep water Four were saved and eight were drowned.
 There was a strike recently among the laborers employed on MT Gould's place, and it is believed by many that the drowning of the sheep was inten- tionaI.

STRUCK ON SHOVELFUL SHOAL
Captain of Schooner Misealcu-
 lated His Bearings

Vessel Rapidly Filled With Water
 Crew Was Taken Off By Life Saving
 Station Men The Vessel WILL Proba-
 bly Be a Total Loss.
 Chatham, Mass, May 2o.-As the re- suit of 8 miscalculation on the part of the captain, the two-maated schooner Helena Maud, from Newcastle, N. B., for New York, with a cargo of laths, struck on Shovelful shoal early this morning. The vessel stove several holes in her hull and filled with water. The captain and crew were taken off by Captain Kelly and his men of the Monomoy Point life saving station. It is thought the vessel probably will be total loss.
 4 The Helena Maud cleared from New castle on May 15. Her commander, Captain Trenholm, it was stated to- day, had not had much experience in navigation from Massachusetts to New York, and just after 2 o'clock this morning, when the vessel was sailing fast on the Wind, she struck with great force on the shoal. Water began to pour into the hold and signals for as sistance were sent up. The Monomoy life savers saw the rockets and put ting out. rescued the crew. When they left the vessel was pounding hard and it seemed likely that she would go to pieces The Helena Maud was of 112 tons burden. She was not insured, but her cargo of laths was insured.

Delegates to Convention in Chicago
 Denounce the Practice.
 Chicago, May %. The question Of the theft of electric current was treat ed at the closing session of the con- yention of the National Electric Light association. Charges were made that the largest and most respectable firms which use electricity often need the closest watching to prevent them from tampering with wires and meters for the purpose of obtaining power for which they do not pay. Robert l.. Ell liott> of Chicago read 3 paper on the subject.
 Officers were elected as follows: President, Charles T. Edgar, New York; vice-presidents, s. Livermore, Winona, Minn; J. W. Lieb, Jr, New York; secretary and treasurer, B. H. Davis, Williamsport, Pa; assistant treasurer, H. Billings, New York; ex- ecutive committee, L. A, Ferguson, Chi cago; Harry Bottomly, FaM River, Mass, and Alexander Dow, Boston.

AGAINST SYMPATHY STRIKE
Brotherhood of Railway Train men at Denver Take Action

Annual Address Handled Labor Ques- ton in All It's Phases-C Contract
 Breaker Will Be Despised As the
 s.Scab'' is Now.
 Denver, Col, May 29.-The first posi-. tive declaration of large labor body against the sympathetic strike has been made by the Brotherhood of Rail- way Trainmen now in national con vention in this city. It was made in the form Of a resolution which receiy- ed unanimous approval by the dele gates based upon sentiments expressed in the annual address which inspired the resolution and which when uttered by the grand master aroused ringing cheers of approval from those present was as follows:
 The question of the ability to pro- tect it's working agreements is now a prominent factor in determining the re- sponsibility of labor organization that represents employees in making an ar rangement that is acceptable to them and shrinks from responsibility when individuals or rivals disturb the peace ful relations between employees and employer is not of the type that will command confidence in our progressive civilization and the enlightened trend of the. relations between capital and labor.
 While the question of the protection of the labor contract is in it's infancy indeed educations of the great mass of the unionists along these lines is neces sarily slow, still we predict that we shall see the time when we will regard the contract breaker, whether a mem Der or non-member, with as much con- tempt as we now do the scab."
 In the beneficial or insurance depart ment the losses for death and disabil- ity that were paid amounted to $1,- 67O, ,790. Of these claims 11,70S were for deaths and 478 for disability, to- tai of 1,556.
 Reports Of other grand officers have been received and accepted by the con vention.

River Now Exceeding Damage to Corn
 Crop is Heavy.
 Des Moines, Iowa, May 29. The riy- CT reached its highest point at o'clock this morning and it is believed that further danger from floods is over, as reports from various points in the state are to hhe effect that the rivers have begun to recede. In the Des Moines valley, from Spirit lake to the Missouri river, the entire bottoms were covered with water and the damage to the corn crop is inestimaible. Fully 500 homes have been inundated. Tn Des Moines alone the damage will reach $50O,OOO. In South Des Moines the bottoms present a solid sheet of water, with houses dotted here and there, some turned over and others with their chimneys only extending above the water line.

STRIKERS ARE POWERLEss.
Unless the Company Recedes Strike
 Can't Be Settled.

Unless the Company Recedes Strike
 Can't Be Settled.
 The strikers executive committee is- sued the following, the 139th, daily Statement, this afternoon:
 Ion .bhis, the eve of Memorial day, when hundreds of thousands of citi- zens throughout thds country will pay homage to the heroes who fought for the principles of liberty and Justice, and died for those principles, we wish to again state to the loyal public of Waterbury which has so strongly sup ported US since the strike began, that it is our desire to bring about settle ment of the present unpleasantness and free good old Waterbury from the existing strained conditions. But we can't do it alone. The company must assist us. It takes two to make a quarrel. It also takes two to make up. It has been given out in Bridgeport that the company at one time agreed to arbitrate if we would drop from our demands the reinstatement of the two discharged men. This is not true. At no time has the company been willing to agree to aFbitrate. There is noth- ing to arbitrate' which General Man ager Sewell has been quoted so often as saying, is a we'll known phrase local ly. Tomorrow ought to be one of the biggest money-making days in the year for the company, and it could be made so if the officials would only give us q small amount of consideration. So long as the company remains in it's present attitude, however, we are poWerless to ease the present conditions.
 i've wish again to sincerely thank the public outside of the unions which has generously remembered us so often and so substantially. These kind re- membrances keep coming in freely and are sources of great encouragement. A pleasing incident occurred yesterday afternoon when young man called at our quarters with a generous contribu- tion presented by several young lady employees of a local factory. The re- ception of this unexpected evidence of good fellowship tor rather girlship) was the creator of great ovation from the boys, who will never forget the kind act. We also desire at this time to once more express our sincere thanks to our fellow unionists, whose support in time of need has been so generous as to become the object of favorable criticism throughout the laboring world"

ENFORCED SLAVERY.
One Death Resulted from the Treat
 ment Received.

4f
 Montgomery, Ala, May 29. The in- vestigation into the enforced slavery of negroes in this state yesterday de- yeloped one death from ill treatment and the arrest of an agent, who is ac- cused of plotting to sell negroes into peonage.
 Witnesses before the federal grand jury testified that death resulted from the punishment accorded negro wo- man, accused of being rebellious and because she could not pile for burning g the brush cut by 8 dozen axe men, was laid across a log and given 100 lashes. Still showing a rebellious spirit, her hands were tied and the rope thrown over the limb of a tree and pulled up so as to leave 1t barely possible for her toes to reach the ground. The woman died two days latter.
 F. N. Pruett. a liveryman of Good Water, was arrested charged with con spiracy to sell Ed Moody, a negro, to J. W. Pace.
