and sister. was on the way to the cir
rus grounds. where the Wallace show
was exhibiting, when in some manner
the other children got away from her
and she started down the track after
them. The Audubon branch engine was
getting ready to make the regular trip
with the train, and was backing to the
wye" In the west end Of the yards,
TO turn around preparatory TO coup
ling onto the train. The little one be-
came frightened at passing freight,
and stepped onto the branch track.
She fell as she did so and the engine
struck her. The child was taken to a
house nearby and from there was taken
to the hospital, where the operation for
the removal OF part of the limb was
performed. She stood the ordeal well.
and it is thought that she will recover.
No one can be blamed for the accident
as the engineer did not see the child
on the track

Of opportunity. So far Sehind are we

Latest Action Wins SYM
pathy For Strikers
supDEN CHANGE OF FRONT
Just When Peace Negotiations Seemed
Satisfactory and the Strike Was
About to Be Settled. the Company
Declared it Would Accept Peace Only
on Its Original Propositions.

The situation here with the view to
ascertaining if possible when the troops
could with safety be returned to their
homes and at the same time use his
best efforts to bring about settlement
of the strike. Peace negotiations prom
Used satisfactory until a late hour last
night, when the street car company
after submitting statement OF essen
tials upon which they We're willing to
settle the strike, and after the striking
,notormen had met and considered the
propositions and voted to accept them,
changed front and declared they would
hear to nothing different from their
original propositions, which some days
ago appeared in public print.
There is Indignation on the part OF
the citizens toward the street car cor
poration, 1t being charged that the di-
rectors are deliberately sacrificing the
their pride. Their action will gain
much sympathy for the strikers.
Both factions are at the Julien hotel
in numbers, and it is possible that an
agreement may be reached today, as the
differences between the strikers ami
the company are purely technical.
Tho Proposition.
The conditions OF the settlement
which met the approval of the strikers
and which had the assent of the COM
pany We're as follows: The street car
corporation will recognize and treat
with the union. AL! complaints against
the company are TO be presented thru
4 grievance committee of the union,
Ind such committee is to be given full
hearings by the corporation. All the
striking employees are to be re-instated
without prejudice, and the activity OF
IN employee in union work shall not OPP
crate against him. The three men
whose discharge brought on the strike
pre- not to be given their old positions
with the company. but will be given
clearing cards which, while not
amounting to certificates of character,
will prevent their dismissal from act
ing as bar to the securing of EN-
ployment elsewhere.
The matter OF wages did not enter
into the strike, there being no com
plant on that score.
Governor CumTins reported here
Monday and Went into conference with
committee representing the striking
motormen. This was followed by a
conference with the representatives of
the street car company, and later the
business men and citizens in large
numbers We're consulted. Before night
concessions We're offered by either sid,
TO the controversy to an extent which
brought them close together. AT this
point the striking men practically
placed their case in the hands of the
governor, and as the street car COM
pany showed a desire to settle the
differences, peace seemed established.

In many parts Of England there are
curious superstitions about birds. The
stonechat, for instance, is believed to
be continually chatting with the evil
one, so it is held in bad repute. and as
the raven commonly impersonates his
sable majesty it is ranked in the same
category of evil birds. Sometimes. how
ever, the ravens appearance, so 1t is
held, forebodes death.
