A WAGE CRIsIs-A dispatch from
Chicago says; Organized labor is
facing the greatest wage crisis since the
panic Of 1898, if the forecast of its lead
ers is correct. Indications of retrench-
ments are seen on every hand. The
labor leaders generally admit alarm,
those who were in Chicago at the con-
vention of the National Civic. FEEDER
alton being free in their expressions
The tendency toward retrenchment is
attributed to the abnormal increases that
have been exacted by the unskilled work
men. 1t has been estimated that before
the close of the year the big employing
concerns of the country will have dis
charged nearly one million men, most of
them laborers and general utility work
ers. Of this number, the railroads are
expected to drop from employment
200, 900 men the mine operators, 3d.
900; the machine shops, and iron and
steel and tin plants, $50, 900; and the
building trades more than 40, 600. In
the case of the railroads, repair and
construction work will be brought to a
standstill as near as it is practicable to
bring 1t.

Murder and Lynching Are Narrowly
Averted in Cincinnati Battle.
Murder and lynching were narrowly
averted following an incipient riot in
the heart of Cincinnati the other day, the
result of feud between two families,
which had been sporadically raging for
week A. r. Anderson occupies the sec
ond floor of building in Richmond
street and the premises below are occu-
pied by William S. Ford and family,
who rent of the Andersons, owners of
the building. Anderson attempted to
drive the Fords out by turning on the
water from the upper floor and flooding
the house. damaging his own property
over $1,000 The next day he fired re-
peatedly through holes made in the floor.
Finally Anderson cut large hole
through the floor and ceiling and turned
the hose directly on to the Fords The
exchange of shots that followed attracted
hundreds of people, and the police had
great difficulty in holding the crowd back
when Anderson's door was broken in and
he was arrested. Ford was shot behind
the ear, and would have been instantly
killed but for silver plate inserted III
his head after he had been shot years
ago in similar scrape. After Ford
wounds were dressed he was arrested for
cutting the water pipes. Anderson was
released on bail, but kept in hiding. Eli
jah Thatcher, son-in-law of Ford, was
also arrested for shooting to kill.

The village of Pulaski, Ind. is greatly
excited over the poisoning Of the Miller

that resemble granulated sand have been
found mixed with vinegar and mustard
of the canned sardines eaten by the
Millers and Johns. Friday four burial
Baskets stood side by side i'll the home
of the Millers. The caskets contain the
remains Of Jacob Miller, Frank and Kate
Miller, husband and wife, and her father,
John Johns. They had eaten from
can of mixed vinegar, mustard and sar-
dimes. Later the two Miller brothers
complained of strange blindness and
retired to their rooms. They died from
strangulation. Later Mrs. Kate Miller
and her father were attacked In similar
manner and they died. Three of the
Miller children rejected the sardlnes on
account Of bitter taste Public opin-
ion is divided as to the cause of the
deaths. Physicians state that 1t was
from ptomaine poison; others claim 1t
was poisoning caused by muriatic acid
mixing with the vinegar and mustard
during the timers process Of sealing the
cans. Examination of the can and CON
tents show the inside of the can to be

yards under bumper" on track No. 8.
They were found by Frank Carr, yard
