RIOTOUS STRIKERS.
Chicago Trolleymen Have
Tied Up All Lines.
WANT An ADVANCE OF Is PER CENT
Desperate Onslaushts Were Made on
All Cars Sent Out, and 1t Is Now
Announced That the Tie
up Is Complete.

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-The long ex-
pected struggle between the union en-
ployees of the Chicago City railway
and the company was started yester-
day, and all attempts to run cars with
nonuniOn men resulted in violence on
the part of the strikers.
After the strike was declared the
trainmen gradually took their cars to
the barns of the company scattered
throughout the system and left them
there. In the shops, barns and power
houses the union men laid down their
tools and quit, declaring hat they will
remain idle until the company consents
] to arbitrate the issue that brought on
the controversy.
All along the lines wherever cars
were started strike sympathizers made
desperate onslaughts on the crews and
continuing as long as cars remained on
the tracks. The tieup is complete.
A number of cars were wrecked. and
that no person was killed is no fault Of
the rioters. One man had his back bro
ken, and the first shot of the strike
was fired at Wentworth avenue and
West SiXty-ninth street, where a mob
Of several hundred persons tried to hold
up a train.
Following the trip of the mail car
efforts were made to move passenger
cars with n%onunion crews. -Four
trains were started on the Cottage
Grove venue cable line, bound toward
the business district. At Fortieth
street an obstruction upon the rails
blocked the trains. A crowd of strikers
had assembled and shouts and jeers
greeted the train crews. A shower of
stones followed, and car windows were
demolished.
One man, a n|onunion conductor. is
said to have been injured in the first
clash.
A mail a following the first passen-
ger train was also derailed neal the
| scene of the blockade. Besides the
police detailed for service at the several
barns, as many more were quickly
made available to respond to emergency
calls.

For~ty-seventh street on the Cottage
Grove venue line by a crowd of strike
sympathizers. A horseshoe was wedg-
ed in the cable slot and brought the
train to a s%tandstill. The gripman was
injured by the shock and was removed
TO a drug store.
The strike is to enforce a demand for
a wage increase of % per cent and rec

employees are involved and 900 miles
of surface trackage, part cable and part
electric.

railway company, after endeavoring to

its trainmen, announced after Il confer

SOUTH CAROLINA GOODS In THE FAR
EAsT.-John B. Cleveland, one of the
yice-presidents Of the American -Asiat-
ic association for the promotion OF
Asiastic trade, today made an interest
ing statement regarding the cotton
goods supplied to the Chinese and for
eign trade, coming largely from this
section.
"These goods" said Mr.. Cleveland,
"are used as a medium Of exchange In
some Of the foreign countries. notable
in Abyssinia on the northeast coast OF
the Dark Continent The goods so
used are principally the brown sheet
ings and drills and they are valued
at the rate of 20 yards to the dollar.
"These goods are received as barter
not only in the seacoast towns; but
throughout Abyssinia. A considerable
part Of these goods are manufactured
at Pelzer and Piedmont and at Whit
ney and other mills Of this section.
Asiastic trade Is now very good"
Mr.. Cleveland said, land wholesome
demand Is existing. One mill Of this
section has sold several thousands
bales during the last few months for
the Asiastic trade, the goods being
shipped direct in consignments OF 1,OOO
bales each.
1.-THE mills, however, would like to
secure better prices, the demand being
better than the prices received. The
check to Chinese trade which was due
to the Boxer uprising has entirely van
ished and the mills are enjoying very
satisfactory Oriental trade at this

SWITCHED THE TRAIN.-A certain
Judge is much given to meditating
upon his work while walking along
the street, and his acquaintances and
friends recognize his air Of abstraction,
pass him by with a friendly nod and
never mind If he does not appear to
notice the salutation. A little colored
newsboy not familiar with this pecu-
liarity Of the judge accosted him one
day with persistent appeals:
Buy the mornin' news, boss. Have
a paper, boss"
The judge waved the tiny mite OF
humanity aside and went on abstract
edly, his mind engrossed with the
case that was to come up that day In
the court to which he was on the way.
The dusky newsboy was not easily
evaded, and he kept pace with the
Judge, shouting his paper cry at fire.
quent intervals. At last the judge
stopped, and grabbing his youthful
tormentor by the shoulder, he said in
his most severe manner:
How dare you interrupt me when
I am following out a line OF argu-
ment? Don't you ever speak to me
when I am pursuing a train OF
thought
The small boy looked up In surprise
and said in a most apoIogetic tone:
"Befo' de Lord, massa, didn't
know you was tryin' to cotch train.

Because I have to ask you for few

IMAGINATION PRINC1PALLY.-Frien OF
Hugh Mclaughlin, leader Of the Kings
county Democracy, are laughing over
one of his practical jokes, says the
New York Journal. The veteran had
a sore throat recently and was using
tablets composed Of ill-tasting drugs
coated with sugar. Assemblyman Nc
Keown came in and saw the tablets
streWn about on McLaughlin's desk.
McKeown reached for one, and Nc
Laughlin watched him chew it until
his face paled.
What is the matter, John?" asked
Mclaughlin. Have you been eating
those poisonous gumdrops that I pre-
pared for the rats in the auction
rooms?"
Were they poisonous, Mr.. Mac?'
queried McKeown anxiously.
Sure" said Mclaughlin. "You bet
ter get some medicine, and Ill tele-
phone fol IN ambulance"
McKeown rushed to a drugstore, got
medicine, returned to the auction
rooms and sat down to await the am
bulance He became so nervous over
the delay in the arrival Of the am
bulance that Mclaughlin, fearing
prostration, revealed the joke.

that I have known a driver to be ac-
tually incapacitated for a week be-
cause he hit dog, and I have heard
competent engineers whose nerve no
body questioned beg to be let Off
fast but usual run because they didn't
feel up to it.
There are engineers today who are
clubbing along on way freights after
serving long on expresses, and who
would throw UP their jobs rather than
resume their old places on flyers.
They have lost their nerve, and they
know it. I have seen men, still young,
cry like babies when they knew they
were no longer fit to run a fast train.
There is only one man in the busi-
ness who has the reputation Of never
losing his nerve. He Is John Kinsilla,
who takes No. 1 on the Erie from
Port Jervis to Susquehanna.
''It was his train that ran into a
big rock just above Shohola in 1883
and went tumbling down a sixty foot
bank to the edge Of the Delaware ~iv-

Johns fireman, pinned by the legs
under his engine, was roasted before
his eyes. Johns own foot was caught,
but his shoes were not buttoned, and
he managed to wriggle his foot clear,
leaving the shoe behind.
''He stood by his fireman, talked
with him as the flames were creeping
nearer, gave him water, took his last
message for his wife and saw him
burn to death. Johns left foot was a
little lame for a long while after that,
but he showed up the next day, cool
as a cucumber, and insisted on taking
his usual run. He says that he has
never lost his nerve for an instant,

accidents and I believe him. New

NERVE IN AN ENGINE CAB.
Lost Sometimes For Trivial Rea-
sons, Even For Reversed Sig

sOnBj Even For Reversed SlS-
mails.
Many old locomotive engineers
thought, before the actual cause of the
New Jersey Central Railroad wreck
became known, that they could explain
why Davis, the engineer, ran past his
signals. They attributed his error to
loss of nerve.
"This comes one time or another to
every man who handles a throttle"
said an engineer Of years experience.
Nobody can explain 1t and nobody can
tell when it will occur. The slightest
unusual thing on a run will sometimes
cause it-even thing so slight as
finding signals out Of their usual con-
dition.
IT have known experienced engineers
on a generally clear run to pull up
their trains before reversed signals, so
overcome by the unusual occurrence
that they have all but tainted and
have dropped to their seats pale and
covered with cold sweat. Once, when
we had been blocked this way at a
place where I had never before known
one fast train to stop, my engineer lost
his nerve so badly that he could not
close the throttle and we would have
been in a wreck if I had not jumped
up and shut her off.
II have myself been badly ratified
by unusual occurrences. The slightest
one that 1 remember was when I was
running a night flyer on a stretch
where I knew had clear track for
five miles.
IT was going at the rate of sixty
miles an hour on a slight grade when
I saw a light In a flash and so clear
ly as though it were broad daylight 1
thought I could see locomotive COM
ing full speed toward me on my track.
could see even the engineer, friend
Of mine, leaning out of the cab win
dow, and I could hear him, an absurd
thing, shout to me to shut off.
could I shut off? My arm seemed
to be paralyzed. I could not reach
the throttle though my life and the
lives of all the people in my train
seemed to depend upon it. I braced
myself for the shock and ran pasta
man walking beside the track carrying
lantern. I told nobody about my
scare, of course, but it was two days
before I got my nerve back.
ANY engineer can tell stories about
momentary loss Of nerve. The nerve
of an engineer needs mental bracing
all the time, especially If he runs an
express. We are on a strain from the
moment we start our engines until we
| leave them at the end of the run.
1.-The machine is throbbing, jolting
and swaying under us all the time; we
are constantly on the alert for any OBJ
struction on the track, and our ears
are strained to detect any sound that
would indicate a loose joint, bolt or
nut.

on the first freight train east from

counting miles, began to be greatly
dissatisfied with his job. But before
