ENDEAvoRING TO AVERT STRIKE

The controversy between the train
men of the southeastern railways and
their employers, was at an acute stage
last night The affair is still in the
hands Of Chairman Martin A. Knapp,
of the interstate commerce commission,
and DIR. Charles P Neil commissioner
of labor, who are acting as medlators
under the provisions Of the Erdman act.
The delegates of the labor organiza-
tons, who represent 10000 men, and
who are now in Washington, have been
empowered to call a general strike If
the demands of the trainmen for higher
pay and better labor conditions be not
complied with. 1t is generally under
stood that the delegates will take no
such radical action until the mediatOrs
have acknowledged their inability to
bring about a peaceful solution. While
both sides are reticent, it is said that
chances for a settlement had brighten
ed considerably after the conferences
Yesterday between the mediators and
representatives Of the trainmen.

A HOT NIGHT.

It is generally admitted that last
night was the hottest of the season, and
it was long after the hours when grave
yards are said to yawn before large
majority fell asleep. Their slumbers
were brief, and in many cases where a
few winks were obtained the fortunate
ones awoke as victims Of Turkish
bath. Many dreaded entering hot
bed rooms and sat on doorsteps and
pavements until late hour. Eolus
was invoked, but there was absolutely
no breezes or even gentle zephyrs to
bring the slightest relief. The trees
were as motionless as those in pictures.
Hence many resumed their labors this
morning unrefreshed by exhausted
natures sweet restorer.

The Hot Wave.

New York, July 2.-Following a
sweltering hot night, during which the
mercury registered So and the per-
centage OF humidity was the highest
for the summer, New York awolke to-
day gasping with no prospects for an
immediate change. The parks, roofs,
fire escapes and beach resorts were
turned into camping places last night
where thousands tried vainly to get re-
freshing sleep The humid atmosphere
caused more suffering than when the
mercury was lowering about the hun
bred mark and the emergency hospitals
and regular institutions all reported
cases OF prostration. All deaths directly
due to the heat had been reported to
the police early today and many of the
prostrations we're reported as very
serious. "
The fact that it was the beginning OF

Michael Calvin, commanding the Coney
Island precinct, that more than 1000

KEPT IN IAIL TOO LONG.

The recent escape Of William Eggles-
ton, colored, from the jail in this city,
has directed attention to the fact that
the penitentiary officials are slow in
sending guards for persons who have

state prison. 1t is said that a prisoner
was kept in Jail in Alexandria county

AN UNWIcKED SINNER.
Deserted by her husband. forsaken
by her friends, her dream Of a cozy
little home rudely destroyed. Mrs.
Frank Standish, frail little woman Of
Chicago. stood weeping in the divorce
court
She had stolen a few articles from
department store.
She was not a "kleptomaniac," a
name given to those women who have
plenty at home, but who are not able
to withstand the lure Of pretty things.
Il am guilty." she said.
Asked her motive for taking the
things, the sobbing woman replied to
the court;
Il wanted a little home. took ta-
BILE linen and goods on that order to
furnish the little place"
OF course had Mrs. Standish been a
rich woman the goods would have been
returned or paid for; there would have
been no arrest, no fine, and nothing
said.
But her husband had turned his back
upon her because she had ''disgraced
him." her friends had deserted her,
and there was nothing to do but TO
throw herself upon the mercy Of the
court.
The fine was $50.
1t took nearly all her meager fortune.
leaving only enough to get back to her

from the police station to leave forever

city. Her earthly belongings packed
in a worn suit case, she started for the
