New Bedford, Mass, July 25.-The
railway strike situation is quiet this
morning. The railway management
propose to run cars today on the same
schedule as yesterday. Only one line
is being operated Aally. Following the
riots on the street last evening which
resulted in two arrests, the breaking OF
windows in seven of the cars, and the
storming of the car barns bys mob OF
thousand women aud boys, Mayor
Thompson announced today that be will
call for the aid of the state militia
forces if he finds it necessary to quell
riots. President Grape Of the railway
says that all employees failing to report
for duty this morning must consider
themselves discharged for cause and
that new men will be put to work in
their places.

TEE former assistant engineer to the
Panama Canal Commission says he does
not believe the government can con-
Gfuct the canal under present conditions
and that he is further convinced that no
such conditions can be brought about as
will enable the government to complete
the slupendous task. He is further
quoted as saying the Health Department
has been doing magnificent work, but he
declares that the same cannot be said OF
the engineering and construction de-
psrtment. He and others also claim
that the comparative ineficiency and
worthlessness of many of the young men
to whom places have been given at the
isthmus through political or personal in
nuence or "pulP' makes the task harder.
Can 1t be possible that President Roose-
Welt has allowed such q condition of at

WEDNESDAY EVENING. JULY Is. 1906.

TIE CITY COUNCIL last night, 10 &C.
cordance, II is believed, with the wishes
of q msjOrity of the people of this COM
munity, adopted the report of the joint
committees on light, finance and general
laws recommending the acceptance Of
E. E. Msndeville's proposition to fur
nish electricity for light, heat and power
to the city of Alexandria. There was
one dissenting vote in the Common
Council and two in the Board of Alder
dermen. When the Mayor shall have
signed the ordinance granting the fran
chise together with that embracing the
contract they will become laws. While
some have been apprehensive az to the
outcome of this action on the part OF
Council, it may be said that the matter
has been viewed from every standpoint
By astute representatives of the people
who have the city's interests at b'0srI'
and large majority of them ha,Ve arrlV-
ed at the conclusion that AN accepting

could have been rpdrsued under the cir

tract MAY not be all that could have

.sesm to be sufficiently safe-gusrded BY
the instrument. At any rate the city
has been made to face certain conditions
which rendered it obligatory upon it,
representatives to devise ways and means
by which electricity could be furnished
the city. The latter is in no condition
to furnish the same for reasons given by
members of Council last night. There
was but one way out Of the difficulty,
and the City Council, it is thought, has
done the very best thing possible under
the circumstances. The demand fol
electricity has been growing for years,
and the matter could no longer be de-
ferred. The members of Council who
could not see their way clear to vote for
1t acted conscientIously and, as they be-
lieved, in the city's interests. They may
later on realize that the majority did
likewise.

The ThaW Case.

New York, July %. Unless the at
torneys for Mrs. William Thaw succeed
in having lunacy commission appoint
ed and Harry Thaw declared insane and
sent to Mslteawan asylum, the young
Pittsburg millionaire will be brought to
trial on October Is for the murder of
Architect Stanford White. Clifford w.
Hartridge, counsel for Thaw has reached
an agreement with the district attorneys
Office that the Tbaw case will be called
for trial on that date. The defense in
the trial will be emotional insanity, de-
yeloped by causes, which in themselves
may tend to show justification. Thaw
still insists that his case should go be-
fore Jury and is obdurate to all entreat-
les to consent to the appointment of an
insanity commission, which, if it should
find him insane at the present time,
would mean that he would not have to
stand trial until he recovered. Ii is
ssid that former Judge Olcott is now
preparing TO bring civil action to have
Harry Thaw committed to an insane
asylum irrespective of his wishes. This
is said to be the reason Detective CMara
has been so active lately in looking up
past events in Thaw's life. If this step
is taken Judge Olcott will in few days
20 before the Supreme Court and ask for
commission to inquire into Thaw's
sanity. If be is adjudged insane, he will
be Immediately taken to the asylum.
Mrs. Anna Crane masseuse who was
examined at length by the District At
torney, will be valuable witness TO the
prosecution. 1t appears that Mrs. Crane
was sent by Stanford White to Paris in
the summer of 1904 to bring Evelyn
Nesbit back to this country with funds
supplied by him.

The Murder of the Lyerly Family.


A mysterious turn was taken yester-
day st Salisbury, N. O., In the case
against the murderers of the four mem
bers of the Lyerley family, when a writ
ten confession Of the crime was placed
in the hands Of Sheriff d. E. Julian, OF
Rowan, having been forwarded from the
prison cell of the Mecklenburg jail. The
statement is signed by Alexander Mas
say and W. N. Mitchell, two of the
FIVE prisoners charged with the crime.
1t is declared that Jack Dillingham;,
another prisoner, and white man whose
name Is withheld, committed the MUIR
der, killing Mr. Lyerly, his wife, a son
and daughter because of dispute be-
tween the Lyerleys and the wife OF Dill
linghsm, tenant on the farm. 1t is
further asserted by the prisoners tina.
the other members of the family had
nothing to do with the murder.
The letter recites that Dillingham;
deesn't deny the deed and is not afraid
to make the confession, now that he ID
protected in the Charlotte Jail.
All efforts to ascertain the name OF
the white man supposed to be connected
With the tragedy have thus far been
unavsiliug. The story that white per-
son had a hand in the crime ia not be-
l;eyed by the officers at Salisbury. Mas
say and Mitchell will be made witnesses
in the case and will be brought to Sails
bury, together with the quintet OF muir
