WABASH WORK.
Three Of the Big Tunnels are In
ssreene County.

j. W. Patterson, Jr., and his as
sistants have completed the cross.
section work on the Wabash survey
from the river to Waynesburg, and
the blue prints of that portion of
the road, about l6 miles, will be
made next week, and it is claimed
will be submitted to the various
contractors within the next 30 days,
the Waynesburg Messenger says.
There are three tunnels between
Wayneshurg and the river, one at
Tom Inghram's 500 feet long, one
through Loves hill 1000 feet long,
and the one near the river, or the
Glades tunnel, which will be 500
feet in length. These tunnels will
all be bored for double track The
work just completed comprises the
detailed calculations for all bridges,
crossings, cuts, fills, trestles, tunnels,
etc.
When the weather will permit in
the early spring it is expected that
the work of construction will begin
and be carried on to completion
with the utmost rapidlty. All the
work will be first class, as has been
all the construction work of the
Gould system in other sections. The
office building on Morris street will
he completed at the earliest possible
time, where the Wabash people will
make their headquarters during the
construction OF the road. The Offices
will be fitted up with every modern
convenience.

Toledo, March 11.-After four sue
cessive attacks had been made on
non-union teamsters by striking union
men, member of the Toledo Carriage
association declared that he would
make application to Governor Nash
to call out the state militia to protect
the association men and interests.
The day has been one of the most ex-
citing in the city's history, nor is the
excitement abated by the strikers
declaration that a general strike will
be called and that no Toledo freight
will be hauled by teamsters in any
part of the country. The trouble be-
gan at noon, when an enraged mob OF
400 strikers and sympathizers follow.

turned and the next instant the non
union driver and manager were on
the pavement with the mob on top of
them In the melee the two objects
of the attack escaped into a res
taurant, where mattresses screened
them from and defed the bowling
mob that was at their heels until the
police interfered. The police escort
ed the fugitives to safety, but then
gave notice that any further provo.
cation given the strikers would be the
fault of the employers and they would
not interfere hereafter. Later the re.
port was received that an attempt
had been made to throw a "scab"
driver into the river, but had been
frustrated by the police. Not half an
hour later another non-union driver
was torn from truck in front of the
Moreton truck Office and at the point
of revolver was compelled to run
for his life. A similar fate befell a
non-union teamster within a block of
the police station.
Police Sergeant Conway, the only
officer detailed to watch the case,
says that the employers precipitated
the trouble by threatening to brain
any union teamster who attempted to
climb on one of their trucks.

THE absence OF fires the past win

good fortune in this respect does not
indicate that any less vigilance is nee

very slight hope of her recovery.
THE city officials of Wheeling say
that the rate of taxation must be in

it Is possible for them TO get. The ques.

will grow until eventually the country

ST. SWithin'S Day.

and which influences the downfall Of

st. Swithin'S Day. if thou doust rain,
Fu" forty days it will remain
st. Swthin's Day. if thou be fair,
For forty days twill rain nae maer."
For centuries in Europe the second
rhyming prophecy given above has been
respected. The origin of the prediction
dates back to til" transfer of the re-
mains of st. Swithin from the church,
yard to Winchester Cathedral.
At his own request he had been buried
in the pathway of his church in such a
position that tn" water from the caves
would fall on his grave. and so the peo-
pie in passing would tread on the spot.
y century after his death his body was
taken up 10y piouS folk and inferred in
the Cathedral During the elimination
the rain came down in torrents and for
II time put II stop to the work The re-
moval was accomplished. however, but
the rain kept mp for 10 days. it is said.
This was away back in 911 \. d., but
there are thousands of persons who put
their trust in the rhymcd prediction i'm
tins Twentieth Century. \ scientific test
made ut Greenwich. some years ago,
showed that in quarter of century
the dctrHctorS of the virtues of St Switn-
in proved to their entire satisfaction that
a greater number of rain days followed
