patton in the Hankow-Szechuen rail-

GUARDS ARE ON THE ALERT
Tense Situation Apparent Near Mill
of Pressed Steel Car Company.

Pittsburg, Aug. 1S.-A tense situa-
tion is apparent in the vicinity of the
Pressed Steel Car company's works at
McKees Rocks. The constabulary,
deputy sheriffs and special watchmen
are on the alert, orders having been
issued to prevent strikers congregat.
ing in numbers near the mill.
Claiming that over 2,0O0 new men
are now housed in the various de-
partments of the works ii is probable
that the company will shortly make
the first real attempt to resume opera
tions. The strikers, however, state
that the number of men inside the
plant is greatly exaggerated and are
of the opinion resumption is not
possible.
A large number of families are in
destitute circumstances. The com.
missary department organized to al
leviate this distressing feature is
taxed to its utmost capacity.

VERY ODD ACCIDENT
Street Car Conductor Knocked

Trolley Wheel.
INJURY is NOT SERIOUS

While Edward .Ientins, a conductor
on one Of the city street cars was adj
justing the trolley wheel of the wire
from which it had been ierked, at
Third and North D streets, the wheel
became unfastened from it's socket,
and falling, struck Jentins forcibly on
the forehead, rendering him uncon-
scious for about half an hour
The accident occurred about 1880
O'Clock last night. In crossing the G.
c. & l.. railroad tracks near the Dor
an bridge the trolley came off. The
trolley wheel, which weighs about two
pounds, cut an ugly cash in Jentins
temple and he bled profusely for a
time. The city ambulance was called
and the man was removed to his
home, 402 Southwest Third street,
where medical attention was immed-
lately given him. While the injury is
painful it is not regarded as necessar-
lily serious, however, and the man is
reported today as resting easy.

HIS CONDITION is BETTER
(6y w. W. Nauohton.)

San Francisco. Dec. 4.-Well, the
next thing to decide is who will be the
favorite.
A straw vote was taken on the
point at certain sporting headquart-
ers the other day and it was made TO
appear that Johnson will be the first
choice. That is as it should be at this
ter when more is known in regard to
the Jeffries condition there may be
justification for placing Jeffries on
the long end. but the day is not yet
johnson is in the thick of the fight
ing game now and is carrying every
thing before him. His showings dur
ing the past year or two prove that ne
can leave the ring without bunging up
his hands or other injuries that re-
quest mending. Jeffries on the other
hand has been nearly half dozen
years in retirement and how near he
can approach to his old form is pure
ly problematical.
Jim's friends are wondering If he
will devise any tests for himself be-
fore the grand tussle takes place. To
begin with a suspicion exists that
Jeffries's wind" is not equal to the
strain and excitement of blistering
fight. Does he purpose trying out his
breathing apparatus and has he any
scheme in view for determining his
present punching powers and his abil-
lily to bear his share OF punches?
