ANTICIPATED THI STRIKE.
Management of the tian~man Order
t-d Ss5, 900 Worth of Printing.

Few people outside of those i'm
nlediately affected realize how much
trouble has been caused By the strike
OF the photographers union. II has not
only caused serious inconvenience in
theatrical circles but also amongst all
the big advertisers who use billboard
advertising 1t Is really sad
thought, too. to contemplate the am
bilious actor. who, having striven
for years to attain the dignity OF n
three-sheet, has his hopes blasted
by the photographers going on a
strike. Many important theatrical
tours nave had TO be postponed and
other companies will be compelled TO
take chances with little or no bill
board paper because of this strike of
the 10000 photographers.
When Geo. II. Brennan, the man
aser of the Clansman, first heard
rumors of an impending strike, he
Immediately ordered a full season s
printing for the Clansman compan-
les. This is said to be the largest
printing order ever given for an at
traction. This order, which amount
ed to over s335 ,010~ was executed in
July before the strike started. Three
organizations presenting the Dixon
play will shortly start on tour.

MUST FOLLOW RULES.
Travellers to BE Held Strictly to Con-
ditions Printed on Tickets.

Conductors and train auditors of
the different railroads have received
instructions from the general man
ayers to follow closely the rules and
regulations prescribed on the tickets
presented to them, and that they are
not to honor tickets contrary to rules
and regulations or verbal advice
from passenger representatives,
which has been more or less in vogue
heretofore.
The rigidity of instructions being
given to railroad employees by the
heads of departments shows most
eonclusively that the interstate COM
merce act passed by the last congress
is to be fully enforced in so far as the
officials interpret the meaning of the
different sections.
These instructions to conductors
were ordered to become effective on
August Is, and the laxity of theii
methods in the past will be entirely
| eliminated, and hereafter each ticke
produced will be closely scanned b
I the punchers.

The Campbells Arrive.

One of the incidents Of the IndiaI
mutiny of 1857 was the siege OF
Lucknow by the mutineers, and Its
relief by Sir Colin Campbell in No
vember. when the garrison was, well
nigh worn out and almost in despair
The story has long been told that
Jessie Brown, Scotch lassie, heard
the bagpipes playing The Campbells
are Coming" and urged the beselged
to be of good cheer. The relieving
force arrived soon after, and the siege
was at an end.
Senator Bailey created sensation
by relating this story in the Dallas
convention the other day. Many con-
strued it to mean that he was predict
ing the success of Mr.. Campbell, one
of the candidates for governor. 1t Is
denied by his friends that this was
intended, but the incident created
good deal of excitement, and Mr..
Bailey was censured by the friends OF
the other candidates.
In this connection it may be re-
marked that the whole story Is de-
MED. 1t is now said that the bag
pipes did not play as Sir Colin ad-
yaneed and il seems rather improb-
able that they did. However, it is a
good story, which it seems pity TO
spoil. Sir Colin himself was not
originally named Campbell, being a
son of Sir Colin Macliver, but was
commissioned as Campbell by ms

A RunORtD EXTENSION


For the past ten years there have
been rumorS galore with reference to
the probability of the Texas Midland
extending its line from Ennis to
Waco These rumors have come
from various sources, but all have
been denied by Midland officials The
latest report concerning this contem-
plated extension was sent from Italy
yesterday to a Fort Worth paper, and
Is as follows:
Interest has been revived here
over the proposed extension of the
Texas Midland railroad from Ennis
to Waco. 1t is known that surveyors
have been in the field and are work
ing towards Waco. A few days ago
a party of gentlemen stopped at the
Van Clark hotel in this city, but they
would not divulge their secret It
is almost an assured fact that they
were Midland surveyors who are actu-
ally surveying a route from Ennis to
Waco About three years ago when
the International and Great Northern
railway built its line through Italy
10 Fort Worth, the Midland surveyed
route through here and made a
proposition to the people of the city.
A bonus of about $4,000 was raised
here at the time, but the Midland
failed to build Depot grounds were
secured and plot of the town was
made which is still in their posses
sion. The Midland has purchased
property in several towns along the
proposed route to be used as depot
facilities and it is known that they
contemplate building the road at an
early date, and Italy being the most
important town on a direct line be-
tween the two points, Ennis and
Waco, the information has been given
out that the Midland cannot well af-
ford to pass up this city, as it Will
give them four outlets.

KATY NEEDS ENGINES.
As Consequence There is Considera-
able Delay in Handling Freight

The Katy is very short OF motive
power and considerable delay is re-
sulting to freight. especially on the
unusual demand for engines to haul
traffic which has congested by the
South Canadian river washout. In
addition to that business is heavy
and a number of engines have been
put out of commission by wrecks.
The Katy has thirty new locomo-
tives ordered, but will not commence
to receive them before September /.
The locomotives were to be delivered
in August, but the locomotive works
have been rushed with orders and
could not keep up with the work.

Presented Middies a Broom.

Upon the arrival of the midshipmen
Saturday night from the victorious
game at Philadelphia, the Annapolis
Lodge No. 622, B. T.. O. e., presented
the midshipmen with the huge broom
recently displayed at the Elks Bazaar.
The broom is about four times the
size of an ordinary broom and was
decorated with bunting and ribbons
of the Navy colors. 1t was carried
aloft by the cadet officers at the head
of the brigade OF midshipmen both
Saturday night and last night upon
the arrival of the team.
The broom was made by j. b..
Coolahan, of Annapolis, broom manu-
facturer. 1t was purchased at the
Elks' bazar by Mr.. J. A. Walton, of
the Farmers National Bank. After
the close of the bazar Mr.. Walton took
the broom to the Elks Home and said
he would let ii stay there until after
the Army-Navy game when, should
the midshipmen win, he would present
the broom TO them. Accordingly,
upon the return of the victorious team
on Saturday night Mr.. j. A. Walton,
Mr.. John Basil and Mr.. Lawrence A..
Walton, all Elks, marched TO the train
bearing the large broom, which they
presented the imdshipmen through the
commandant of the brigade, Midship-
man Cohen.

The arrival of the train over the
Short Line last night bearing the
midshipmen' football team, was de-
layed over an hour because of a
wreck on the b. & O. A collision
occurred at Carroll switch, near the
Blue Top bridge, Southwest Balti-
more, shortly before o'clock yester :
day morning, freight locomotive of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany "sidewiped' struck the side
another freight locomotive, de-
railing eleven cars loaded with coal
and corn, piiing the cars upon one
another in shapeless mass and al
most demolishing one locomotive
shortly before o'clock.
Aided by two big wrecking engines,
the crew finally got the derailed cars
out of the way and righted the
wrecked engine. Quantities of coal
and grain were scattered over the
ground. Eight of the eleven cars
were splintered. The immense engine
presented an unusual spectacle, the
boiler being badly twisted and the
pilot house completely gone. Several
Of the cars were 90 to 30 feet from the
track. No one was injured, but rail-
road traffic was delayed greatly. It is
estimated that $25, 900 damage was
done.

ALL-AMERICG TEAM A FAD.
Expert Newspapers Assign The
Navy Positions.

For the first time since the selection
of All-America football teams became
a fad, the experts of the newspapers
have in some instances considered
the members of the Navy team and
several of the players are either as
signed positions or seriously conSid-
cred in that connection.
Douglass is assigned the position of
halfhack on the All America by the
expert of the New York Herald and
on the second team by Charles Chad
wick. of the New York World lie is
favorably mentioned by nearly all of
the others who have made selections.
The New York SUMS football man
sprung a surprise by picking Norton
as the best of this seasons quarter
backs. The Navy had not thought of
urging his claims particularly, but it
is agreed that his work in the Army
game was OF the highest order. lie is
undoubtedly a good general and along
most lines has decided ability. He
is generally mentioned as one of the
best of the year in the position.
Dague, the crack end. for whom
the strongest claims are made by the
Navy contingent, is not put at end
by any of the experts, though his
great game against the Army is gem
orally praised. Wister and Heagland,
of Princeton; Forbes, of Yale; Lee
vene, of Pennsylvania, and Glaze, of
Dartmouth, are the general selections.
The Navy feels that Dague should
be given the place on his showing in
the new football. He has fitted into
the new plays, il is claimed, in man
ner not equalled by any other end and
his remarkable work in recovering
the ball ON onside kicks and accepting
chances in the forward pass plays,
make him the best man for the place
that the season has produced. Dague
is fully up to the highest standard i'm
the ordinary work of an end.
Northcroft was also generally COM
plimented for his great work in the
game against West Point.

Delay In Engineering Station.

Hope deferred maketh tn heart
sick, and the delay that has been
caused from time to time in establish
ing the naval experimental station
here at Fort Madison has almost caused
those interested to despair. At last
a step toward the beginning of such a
station has been taken by the award
of the contract for the construction of
the building, which is To cost $I57, 600,
sum within the available appropria-
tion. When bids were recently open
ed for this structure il was found that
the amounts named were larger than
the fund at the disposal of the depart
ment and the specifications had TO be
altered so as to get the work within
,the appropriation. There has been
much delay for one reason or another
i'm getting this institution started.

Decorations Stolen.

A number of the officers and Navy
people living in town decorated their
residences with the Navy colors in
honor of the football team. Petty
thieving of anything within reach for
some days has been perpetrated in
town, but yesterday the theft of deco
rations in broad daylight was the
limit. Decorations were stolen Satur-
day night and Sunday from dozen
residences in town. The residence of
Commodore Phythian, on Maryland
avenue, was denuded of thirty yards
of orange and blue bunting. This was
stolen Saturday night. The residence
of Mrs. Colahan, corner College ave
nue. and Prince George street was rob
bed of its decorations yesterday after
noon. Two front pillars that had been
twined with orange and blue bunting
were denuded, and later in the even
ing two small white boys were seen
parading the streets wrapped with
Mrs. Colahan's $ decorations. The enl-
prits evidently helped TO celebrate al
the expense of Others.
