STRIKE SITUATION.

With building operations in New
York, so far as the use of brick and
lumber is concerned, at a standstill and
the strike on the subway work apparent
ly as far from being ended as ever,
owing to the refusal of the strikers to
approve of the arbitration agreement be-
tween the subway company and the
Central Federated Union, the labor
situation seems more threatening than
ever before. In the opinion of experts
$50, 900, 900 in capital will be tied up in
incomplete buildings by next Monday
unless some change in the situation oc-
ours. Fully 100,O persons will suffer
Capitalists have laid aside plans for
building until they are assured that the
work can be pushed through to conf
pletion. Monday has been fixed upon
as the time when work on nearly all
buildings must come to an end, as the
contractors cannot keep more than
enough bricks or lumber to last for
few days on hand in the new structures.
This surplus is rapidly disappearing,
and already express wagons have been
pressed into service to bring bricks, sand
and lumber from Brooklyn to Man
haitian.
Nearly all the brickmakers and tile
layers in Pittsburg, Pa, will go on
strike today. From $4,000 to 10000
men will lay down their tools, most of
them being employed in making fire.
bricks. The Harbison- Walker Re-
Factories Company, the official name of
the friedrich combine, has refused to
recognize the union, which is the cause
of the strike. The executive council of
the national association of brick and
tile makers and the executive council
of the clay miners, both affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor,
have been called in special session. 1t
was stated that union workmen have
received letters instructing them to
from labor organizations or
they would have to leave the employ OF

Unsuccessful Matrimonial Venture

Troy, N. Y, May 9. -Edgard Rhodes
of Pownal, Vermont arrived in Troy
this morning, to meet and marry Annie
Muller, of Watervliet, with whom he
had carried on a correspondence as the
result of an advertisement in a matri-
monial paper Rhodes who is about so
years old and Miss Muller, who is
thirty, had never met. When the
prospective groom alighted from the
train his bride to be was awaiting him,
but she evidently did not fancy his APP
pearance, and denied point blank that
she was the woman for whom he was
looking. Rhodes accepted the denial,
and, armed with photograph, started
out to search the collar shops for his
fiancee

BURNED WOMAN TO DEATH.

One of the most brutal cases that ever
occupied the attention Of the coroner
was opened for investigation in Philadel-
phia, yesterday. 1t was the inquest in the
death of Bella Boyce, young woman of
% years, who died in the Pennsylvania
Hospital yesterday from burns received
during a quarrel with Charles Yarnell,
a young hat fnisber. Testimony that
caused a shudder of horror from specta-
tors in the courtroom was given by
Special Officer Hagan, of the Second
and Christian streets police station.
al was informed that during a quarrel
with Yarnell," said Hagan, "Bella
Boyce was badly burned. l arrested
Yarnell, and Miss Boyce identified him
at the hospital" Yes, she said,
that's Charlie Yarnell. He took the
lamp and poured the oil in it all over
me. Then he struck match and
set me afre. Oh, my God, Pm
roasted to death. While Hagen
was testifying several women who had
listened to the oil-pouring episode could
stand it no longer. Three hurriedly
got up and left the courtroom with their
handkerchiefs to their eyes. Even the
attaches of the court were visibly affected
by the horrible story. The testimony of
Special Officer Harrington, of the Sec
ond district, forged another link in the
chain of evidence against Yarnell:
'"Yarnell said that the whole occurrence
was an accident and could not have been
prevented. Later on, however, 1 visited
the room in which the affair happened,
and I found this lamp and top. The
screw top had been taken off and laid to
one side, the lamp was empty and none
Of the various parts of it were broken or
damaged in the least" Other witnesses
testified that there had been frequent
quarrels between Yarnell and the woman,
and the one which resulted in her death
was over money and about Yarnell
drinking too much. The jury returned
a verdict of death from burns received at
the hands of Charles Yarnell, and the
Coroner committed the prisoner to the
county prison to await the action Of
the grand jury.

JUDGING FROM statistics, Philadel-

the United States. In 1880 there was
negro population in that city of 81, 500.
Ten years later it had grown to SO, 81.

startling increase, the total figures being

10000 and $4,000 negroes who call

of enlarging our jail" Such was the

JAMES A. POWELL and Thomas G.
Smith, two white men living near
Dover, Del, were whipped today for
stealing chickens. Powell wrote to his
wife telling her to come to Dover and
bring the children. This brings to
mind the case of a man in Delaware
who some years ago was sentenced to be
hanged for murder He received a
visit from his wife the night before his
execution. As she departed the woman
asked her condemned husband A.:
Hadn't l better bring the children ?"
The prisoner said: Bring the chill
dren Are you crazy ?" well de-
clare" returned the wife. That's
just like you always seeking to deprive
the children of any pleasure.

relatives respectfully invited.
Gone from earth, yes, gone forever,
Tear-dimmed eyes shall gaze in vain,

Never more on earth again.
Home is sad, oh, God, how dreary,
Lonesome, lonesome, every spot:
Listening for her voice ill weary,
Weary for We hear her not.
Our dead mother, must she leave us?
Must we place her with the dead?

How she suffered, but now rejoicing,
Her joy in heaven has begun.
