strike on Grand Trunk r. X.

Portland, Me-, July 20.-After SO
hours of industrial war, not a freight
train up to today has stirred over any
of the Grand Trunk or Central Vermont
lines in New England, the railroads
abandoning all attempts to handle
freight for the present and deyoting
their entire efforts to maintaining their
passenger schedules.
Montreal, July 20.-Both sides to the
labor controversy on the Grand Trunk
Railway went on record today as re-
fusing arbitration. The railroad is
still operating its most important trains
although all are late. There has been
no disorder reported on the system

SMordfish Fights FISHERS.

Boston, July 20.-John Henry, OF
the fishing schooner Alice Palmer, tells
of a fight for life he and his dory mate,
Adam Walters, had with a swOrdfish
off the Georges Banks, last Friday.
The fish was sighted in the afternoon,
and in short time two harpOOns were
sticking into his back and he was rae
ing away with the harpoon buoys.
Henry and Walters manned n dory and
started after the buOys. Infatuated by
the pain of the iron barbS the fish turn
ed on the dory. 1t drove its powerful
sword through one end Of the craft and
then the other, while the two men leap
ed back and forth to escape the driving
blows. The dory began to fill AS the
repeated attacks Of the fish opened up
holes, and it looked as though the
fisherman would be left entirely at the
mercy OF the fish in the wafer But 4
second dory from the schooner swept
up and with harpoons settled the fate Of
the fish and rescued the two in the
sinking dOry.

Two steamers Searched for Doctor
Crippen-Preacher Swallowed as a
Suspect.


Suspect.
New York, July 20.-Two incoming
liners were searched today in an effort
to locate DR.. NJ. H. Crippen. The
boats searched were the Kroonland from
Antwerp and the Carmania from Liver
pool. No one who resembled DR..
Crippen was on either steamer.
The Dover suspect" inspected by
Scotland Yard, turned out to be the
Rev. William H. Laird, Of Whining
ton, Delaware, returning home from
his vacation. The minister is tall and
extremely thin and in no way resembled
the missing doctor. Laird was much
amused when it was explained to him
that he had been under surveillance
ever since the captain OF the KroonIand
received a wireless telling him that DR..
Crippen was on board his ship. 1t is
certainly a good joke on me, " declared
the minister
On board the Carmania was Thomas
Harbridge, a Philadelphia detective.
When the wireless message was re-
ceived telling the ships officers to
watch out for Crippen, Harbridge was
told about it. He make a systematic
search OF the vessel and reported to the
police when they boarded her at
Quarantine that Crippen was not on
board.
London, July 20.-Oficial announce
ment was made this afternoon at Scot
land Yard that the arrest of DIR. III. III.

murder OF his wife, is expected this

The strike In England.

London, July 90 Today's early
additions to the strike on the North
eastern Railway brought the total
number of men up to $4,000. A large
number of firemen joined the striking
Switchmen today, forcing the company
to abandon practically all its trains ex-
cept the most important mail connec-
tons. Even these are being run with
great difficulty, and if many more men
walkout, a total tie-up on the road Is
expected. The men went out without
warning, starting in the Newcastle
district and spreading to all portions
Of the line. They have not as yet speci-
fled their grievances, but declared they
have struck to protest against the
tyrannical methods OF the officials.
London, July 20.-The strike of the
trainmen OF the Northeastern Railway
has reached serious proportions, 10000
railroad men being out and many
thousands of men being forced TO lay
down their tools as result OF the
strike. Most OF the collieries, docks,
shipyards and factories reached by the
Northeastern were today compelled to
suspend operations, owing to their
inability to receive supplies or to make
shipments. More trainmen are gong
out every hour and complete tieup
seems probable.

New York to Have the Pictures.

New York, July 20.-New Workers
are to see the reproduction by moving
pictures OF the JOhnson-Jeffries fight.
When Mayor Gaynor passed the ques-
ton on to the Board of Aldermen with
a recommendation that it adopt an
ordinance prohibiting the pictures, it
was stated that majority Of the MEM
bers of the board would vote for such
a measure. The liberal members OF
the board, however, played trumps in
questioning the legality Of such a pro-
ceeding. So the matter was referred to
committee TO report at the next meet
ing. BY agreement there will not be a
quorum at another meeting OF the
Aldermen until the latter part OF Sep
tember, and in the meantime the pic
