LIGONIER. NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1877.

Storv of a Physician’s Wife.

_“L 'have heara of persons whose hair ‘Wwas whitened through excessive fear, but, as I never saw myself any one 80 affected, lam disposed. to be incredulous on the subject.” L The above remark was made by Dr. ‘Maynard as we sat on the piazza of his pretty villa, discussing the different effects of terror on dissimilar temperaments. Without replying to me, the doctor turned to his wife and said: “Helen, will you please relate to my old friend the incident within your own experience? It is, lam sure, the most convincing argument I can adyance. . . 1 looked at Mrs. Maynard in surprise. I had observed that her hair, which wa3 luxurignt and dressed very becomingly, was purely cg‘l_-‘orless; but,as she was a young wonian, and also a very pretty one, I surmised thatit was powdered to heighten the brilliancy ofQ her fine dark eyes. el The doctor and I had been fellowstudents, but, after leaving college, we had drifted..aparf—T to commence practice in an eastern city, he to pursue his profession in a growing town in th% west. I was now on a visit to him for the first time since his mardagey oo S - Mrs. Maynard, no doubt reading my supposition-by my look of incredulity, smiled as she shook her snowy tresses over her shoulders, andgeating Lerself by her husband’s side, related the fol-. lowing episode- it

“Lt 18 nearly two years agosincemy husband was called on one evening to visit a patient several miles away. Our domestics had all gone to a ‘wake’ in the vicinity, the dead man being a relative of one of our serving-women. Thus I was left alone.. But I felt no fear, for we never had heard of burglars or any sort of desperadoes in our quiet village, then consisting of a few scattering houses. The windows leading out on the piazza were open as now,.but I secured the' blinds: before my husband’s departure, and locked the outside doors, all except the front “one, which I lett for the doctor to lock after going out, so that, if I should fall _asleep before his return, he could enter without arousing me. I heard the doctor’s rapid footsteps on the gravel, quickened by the urgent tones of the messenger who awaited him; and, af--ter the sharp rattle of carriage-wheels had become but an echo, I seated mygelf by the parlor astral, and soon became absorbed in the book I had been - reading before being disturbed by the summons. But'after a time my interest succumbed to drowsiness, and I thought of retiring, when the elock in the doctor’s study adjoining the parlor. struck twelve, so I determined to wait a few moments more, feeling that he would be home now very soon. I closed my book, donned a robe-de-chambre, les down my hair, and then returned to my seat to patiently wait and listen. Not the faintest sound disturbed the stillness. of the night. Not a ;breath of air stirred a leaf. The silence was so profound that it became oppressive. I longed for the sharp click of the gate-latch and the wellknown step on the gravel-walk. I did not dare to-break the hush myself by ‘moying orsinging, T was so oppressed with the deep stillness. The human’ mind is.a strange torturer of itself. "I began to conjure.up vivid fancies about ghostly visiﬁaixl)ts,; in the midst of which occurred to me the stories I had heard from superstitious people about the troubled spirits of those who had died suddenly, like the man whom my servants had gone to ‘wake,” who had been killed by an accident at the saw-mill. In the midst of these terrifying reflections T was startled by a stealthy footfall on the piazza. I listened between fear and hope. It might be the doctor. But no, he would not tread like that; the step was too soft and cautious for anything less wily than a cat. 'As I listened again, my eyes were fixed on the window-blind. I saw the slats move- slowly and softly, und then the'rays of the moon disclosed a thin, ‘cadaverous face, and bright, glittering eyes peering at me. Oh, horror! who wasit? or what was it? I félt the cold. perspiration start at.every pore. I seemed to be frozen to my chair. I could not move—l could not cry out; my tongue seemed glued to the roof of my mouth, while the deathly-white face pressed closer, ‘and the great unsunken eyes wandered in their gaze about the room. In a few moments the blind closed noiselessly as it had been opened, and the cautious footsteps came toward the door, ‘Merciful heavens!’ I cried, in a horror-stricken whisper, as I heard the key turn in the lock, ‘the doctor, in his haste, must have forgotten to withdraw the key.’” b o “God forgive me!” 'ejaculated Dr. ‘Maynard, interrupting his wife, and looking far more excited than she. “I can never forgive myself for such a thoughtless act.. Please proceed, my dear.” 3 Vi

“I heard the front door open, the step in the hall, and helpless as a statue I sat riveged to my chair. THe parlor doer wag open, and in it stood a tall, thin man, whom I never beheld before. He was dressed in a longrobe —a sort of gaberdine, and a velvet skull-cap partially concealed a broad furehead, under which gleaned black eyes, bright as-living coals, and placed 80 near together that their gaze was preternatural in its directness; heavy grizzled eyebrows hung over them like, the tangled mane of a lion; the nose was sharp and prominent,and the chin was overgrown with white hair, which hung down in locksas wierd as the Ancient Mariner’s. He politely doffed his skull-cap, bowed, replaced it, and then said in a slightly foreign geepnt: - Y -

- “Madam, it is not necessary for me to stand upon ceremony, as your husband, Dr. Maynard (hereupon he again bowed profoundly) has already acquainted+you with the nature of my ‘business in your house to-night. I perceive,” he added, glancing at my neglige robe, ‘that you were expecting me.’ « e ' “‘No, I feund voice enough tostammer, ‘My husband has said nothing to me about @ visitor at this hour of the night.” “¢Ah! he wigshed to spare you, no doubt, a disagreeable apprehension,” he returned, advaucing,_and taking a seal on thesofa opposite me, where for a few moments he sat and-eyed me from head to foot with a strange glittering light in his eyes that mysteriously impressed me. ‘“You have a remarkag(liy fine physique, madam, he observed, quietly ; ‘one that might de- | ceive the eye of the most skilled and ‘practical physician,. Do you suffer < Yoos ‘ * B s s"urf*qﬂm'y. ' (u‘,-‘ A terrible suspicion was creeping over me. I was alone, miles away from aid WIARY he 60 nt; nued; re f*ﬁ vely, ‘your husband may have mistaken &' 7 § :~%§§?*fo

tumor for a cancer. Allow me to feel your pulse,” rising and bending over me. i

“I thought it best to humor him, remembering’ it was unwise for a helpless woman to: dp%‘osé that as yet harmless freak of a lunatic. He took out his watch, shook his head gravely, laid my hand down gently, and went toward the study, where, on the table, was an open case of surgical instruments. e : “Do not be alarmed, madam, he said to me as I was about to rise and flee, and in another instant he was by my side, with an instrument case in his possession. : e e : “Involuntarily I raised my hand and cried: - fr e arledl v "Spare me! oh,spare me, I beseech you! e “‘Madam,’ he said, sternly, clasping 1y wrist with his loug sinewy fingers, with a grip of steel, ‘yon behave likea: child. I have no.timeto parley, for 1 have received a letter from the Emperor of-the ¥rench stating that he is suffering from an iliac abscess, and is desirous 0;3 my attendzg‘x}ge. I 'musté start. for Europe imme aﬁeg‘ ely. afteng performing the operation,” and before I could make the slightest resistance, he had me in his arms and was carryingime into thestudy, where there was a long table witli"green baize. On this he laid mie, and, holding me down, with one hand with the strength %f a maniae, he brought from some hidden recess in his gown several long leather straps, with which he secured me to the table with theskill of an expert. After a moment he said: SHAe ~ “‘Madam, your husband has made a mistake. I find no necessity for my in-. tended operations. = = . “At this he gave a long drawn sigh of relief, and prepared to rise. : “‘But,” he continued, ‘I have made the discovery that your heart is as. large as that of an ox! I will remove it 80. that you may sce for yourself, reduce it to its natural size by a curious process of my own, unknown to the medical science, and of which I am the sole discoverer, and then r__seplace‘ it again.’ = e

“lle then began te examine the edge of the eruel knife, on which I closed my -eyes, while every nerve was in perceptible tremor. . ‘ “‘The mechanism of the heart is like a watch} he resumed; “if it goes too fast, the great blood vessel that supplies the force must be stopped, like the lever of a watch, and {he works must be cleaned and repaired, and regulated. It: may interest you to know that I' was present at the post mortem examination held over the remains of the beautiful Louise of Prussia. Had I been consulted before her death I could have saved her by taking out her heart, and removing the polypi, between whieh it was wedged like as if in a vise; but I was called too late. The King and I had a little difference; he was German, I am French. I trust that this is sufficient: explanation.” , .

“He now bent over me, his long white beard Lrushing my face. I raised my eyes beseechingly, trying to think of some way tosave myself. ‘Ob, sir, give me an an®sthetic, that I may not feel the pain,’ I pleaded.. “‘lndeed, indeed, madam, I would comply with your wish, were you not the wife of a physician—of a skillful ‘surgeon. 1 wish you to note with what ease I perform this difficult operation, so that you may tell your husband of the great servant whose services he secured, and in season.’ “As hesaid this he made the final test of the knife on his thumb. How precious were the moments now! They were fleeing .all too fast, and yet an eternity seemedicompressed in every one. I never fainted in my life, and I never felt less' like swooning than now, as I summoned all my presence of mind to delay the fearful moment, fervently praying in the meantime for my husband’s return, ' ' | “‘Doctor,” said I, with assumed composure, ‘I have the utmost confidence in your skill—l would not trust myself to another; but, doctor, you have forgotten to bring a na;l)kin to staunch the blood. If you will have the goodness to ascend to my sleeping cham- ‘ ber, at the right of the hall, youn will find everything you need for that pur~pose in the bureau. : “‘Ah, madam,’ he said, shaking his head sagaciously, ‘I never draw blood during a surgical operation; that, you see, is another one of my secrets to the faculty” = . e ~ “‘Oh, God! I cried, as I felt the cold steel; but with the same breath came. ‘deliverance.’ g :

“Quick as thought a heavy woolen ‘piano-cover was thrown over the head and person of the madman, and bound tightly around him. Asquickly wasl released, and the thongs that bound me soon held the maniact - e “My husband held me in his arms. He had noiselessly approached, and, taking the horror of my situation at a glance, had, by the only means at hand, secured the madman, who was the very patient he had been summoned to attend, but who had escaped the vigilance of his keeper soon after the departure of the messenger, who had now returned with the doctor in pursuit of him. As the poor wretch was being hurried away, he tutned to. me and said: ‘Madam, this is a plot to rob me of my reputation. Your husband is envious of my great skill as a surgeon. Adieul’ I afterward learned that the man wasonce an eminent surgeon in Europe, but much learning had made him mad. When he bound me to that table my hair was as black as a raven; when I left it, it was as you see it now—white as fullblown cotton.” g Wl

THE LoNGEST DAYS.—We are passing through the longest days of the year. They never dawned on a more beautiful picture or shone through a wmore genial atmosphere than that which now prevails wherever the hills and valleys of Pennsylvania unfold their rolling landscape of living green. Everywhere in the grass fields masses of white clover pour the sweetness of their perfume upon the surrounding air, and the deep green of the landscape ig varied with the bloom of yellow buttercups, white daisies and red clover, Such summer days geem made for idleness rather than the never ending round of toil and drudgery. The : weather of these days are for the | 'feople in the country; cities know but little of them. Walking in the fields, ‘now, and listening to the bird sonfs,i ‘and noting the flight of the clover liv- & iug butterflies that flash through their -existence in the SURDEE ARn; o 0 be,fm to ask himself what all this endless rush and hurry of life is for, and why one may not bg .;’%@E.. ra while as {ﬂ?gﬂi&&: the butterflies.

THE PITTSBURG RIOT. Conflict Between the Militia and . Strikers. ' Erightful Soenes of Violence and . Bloodshed. = wt;g;‘.‘;',;v "“ﬁ A i - * The great railway strike had a most fragic culmination at Pittsburg, Pa., -@n Saturday, July 21st, an attack on ie military sent from Philadelphia nh;mgm the killing and wounding of a large number of persons, many of them being innocent parties. From theé voluminous accounts of the affair telegraphed to the dmily press we glean ‘the following particulars: Eighteen ‘gar-loads of military arrived in Pitts‘burg at 1 p. a., and soon after went to ghe crossing of the Pennsylvania railroad at Twenty-eighth street, where und-bc’nise islocated. The home xaw%;m on-hand and there -was not thie slightes; disorder. After ‘the military had been placed in charge Sheriff Pife came on the scene with a posse of fifty men to arrest the ringleaders. The Black Hussars, of Philadelphia, were ordered to move the crowd in front of the Sheriff, and the trouble thén began. The Fourteenth regiment, of Pittsburg, was guarding the battery, and as the Sheriff advanced a volley of stones fell into the ranks. The order to fire was'now givyen, and the Black Hussars began firing into the erowd of people on the hillside instead of at the men in front of them. The shots were returned from the hillside, and séveral volleys followed. . Fourteen men were killed and sixteen wounded, many of them innocent parties. The home militia did not fire a gun, but dropped on their faces, and when they arose the crowd had: become panic-stricken and were fleeing. Two volleys are said to have been fired after the retreating people by the Philadelphia soldiers, one of whom was killed. Two members of the home military were killed, and one child was killed and two injured. It is claimed ‘that the shooting was. unjustifiable, and the members of the Fourteenth Pittsburg regiment laid down their arms and returned to the city, There was intense excitement over what was regarded by the strikers and their sympathizers as a cruel and needless slaughter of innocent people, and by 8 o’clock in the evening a fearful mob, numbering from 8,000 to 10,000, had assembled in the vicinity vt the round-house, in which the 400 Philadelphia militia had taken refuge. = A portion of the mob returned to the central part of the city, raided several gun-shops, gutted them of their arms and ammunition, and returned to the round-house. They passed down Fifth avenue, headed by fife and drum, yelling, hooting and firing off guns, and creating the wildest excitement. At a later hour another mob visited the Great Western Gun Works and threatened to clean it out. They wanted arms to revenge the death of the citizens of the city. The" p&ce offered resistence, but it was considered to be useless, and guns, pistols, ete., were furnished. The ‘mob then broke into the armory and stole Knapp’s battery. Gallinger’s pawn-shop was next yisited and gutted, and $3OO worth of guns, etc., stolen. DBrown’s extensive establishinent on Wood street was next visited by 8,000 of the mob, and every gun and shooting-iron available carried off.

* T'wo or three thousand of the mob ‘tvere by this time supplied with arms; and they began to lay siege to the round-house. A large number of shots were fired, the militia returning the fire. "An oil train near by was fired, and the flamesiraged with great fury. The fire was soon' communicated to other trains, and the lurid glare caused by the destruction of railway property lit up the entire city. A constant fusilade was kept up all night between besieged and besiegers. The latter dared not venture out after food or drink. An effort was made to convey supper to the men, but it was destroyed in an instant by the rioters, and all communiocation, telegraph aad otherwise, with the improvised fort was cub off. : : o

The imprisoned militia were surrounded by at least 10,000 despeorate men crying aloud for their blood, and vowing that not one should’escape alive. The excitement was terrible to behold. No such scene was ever witnessed in this country before. Toadd to the horror of the scene, the rioters applied the torch to a large oil ‘train, I and the light from the flames lit up the entire -city. 'The fire communi- ‘ cated to other cars, and soon 200 or 300 of them were reduced.to ashes. Many :of these trains were laden with valuable goods, and the loss from this source is - estimated at $2,000,000. Many of the: cars burned were loaded with grain and general merchandise. Thieves plied their vocation during the night with untiring industry. Trunks containing fine clothing, silks, laces and other goods were burst open, and their contents appropriated. Flour, hams, fruit and other eatables were carried off in immense quantities. Scarcely a soul in the whole town slept during the night. Such excite‘ment has never been known in this ‘part of the country, and old army offi-. cers say the howling crowd and the peculiarities of the situation conspired to present an aspect mever rivaled by the horrors of war. The streets. were filled with women wringing their hands in despair and shrieking piteously for their 'husbands, sons or fathers, who were in the riot. The crowd itself was largely composed of women who, in their frenzied fear for their relatives, made the horrible night ‘hideous with their lamentations: and wailings. , S - Among the killed outright by the militia were a number of women, over whose bloody bodies friends knelt in the agony of despair, sometimes calling upon them for a word, and again I‘,\&§in-'¥»-.ti§baemwd'to seek double venge- %,:, for the outrage, as they term it. “The mangled bodies of children shot down Tl el @il gecuents of their crazed mothers marked, too, ggws?gwmmﬁhﬁmmum the crowd to a pitch untamable and INRGSERIURIIE. - ot el %i _be dnferred that the )»ut { 4 , ;%m“‘m. e N R e e {bt g schir Bl gt T eyl and_devoting their own attention to i e Be dh-fana e boundioiee wats e o e S dmiebahd oet o S adbtch G ‘: * “*w fﬂjlf‘ ‘ m«g;f

for vengeance for the friends they had lost under, the murderous fire of the soldiery. Men with pallid, distorted faces rushed hither and thither, their hands clenched and their teeth set. The strike was notthought of. A pas'sionate hatred for the men who had opposed them, and a hellish desire to root out the soldiers, had taken possession of the original strikers, and, reckless of any and all consequences, they struggled only to work some terrible damage to their opponents. i - This feeling was aided by the disaffection of the local militia, and the manifestsympathy on the part of the citizens generally for the men who claim to have been interrupted by for--eign intervention” while fighting for their rights. | : . But to return to the siege of the round-house. . The mob, at about 8 o’cloek in the evening, commenced firing into the building. The militiamen returned the fire with fatal effect. At each volley from the besieged building some of the rioters fell, and a scream of rage went up, and the anger of the crowd knew no bounds.. A constant fusilade was kept up between the militia and a portion of tHe rioters and strikers until far into the small hours of the morning. s The main efforts of thecrowd, however, from midnight Saturday until 5 o’clock Sunday morning, were directed to firing the buildings and cars, but about half an hour later .the mob which had been besieging the military left for some unexplained reason. This afforded the troops, who were in actual danger of being roasted alive, an opportunity to emerge from the bailding, and they succeeded in reaching Liberty street in a few moments.— They quietly formed inlineand marched up to Thirty-third street, and thence to Pennsylvania avenue and Butler street. Their objective point was the ‘United States arsenal on Butler-st., where they expected to obtain shelter. While turning info Butler street, however, the leaders of the mob had discovered their retreat. and fully 1,000 men, fully armed and supplied with ammunition, followed in pursuit.— Some of the troops fired at the citizeus, either accidentally or intentionally, as they moved along, and this added fury to the ety for revenge. When they reached the ars?nal the commandant refused to admit them. He said he had but ten men, and wo'd be powerless to hold the place if the mob should attack it. =~ He consented to take care of the wounded, and they were accordingly carried into the hospizals. Themain body of the troops continued their march out Butler street, a fusilade being kept up on them by the mob as they moved forward. The shots fired killed one of the soldiers béfore they reached the arsenal, and nearly opposite the cemetery gate, fully a mile above the arsenal, two others were killed and were left Iying on.the sidewalk. They continued their fight and crossed over to. the north side of the Allegheny river, on the Sharpsburg bridge, the mob following them as rapidly as possible. And after reaching the north side the troops scattered, and in this way the rioters were divided into very small bodies. !

One man of the mob followed the Philadelphians, took the gun of one of them, and keeping up the trail, shot and Kkilled seven men. In the meam(;)zne the city was in a state of anarchy. = Thotisands who had not joined in ‘the pursuit of the fleeing troops gathered about the burning buildings and trains, and assisted in.spreading the flames wherever they had not been applied., By 7 o’clock » M. the fire had extended from Millvale station to Twentieth street, and -enveloped hundreds of cars, 125 locomotives, the extensive machine shops, two round-houses, the depots and offices of the Union Transfer Company, blacksmith shops, store-houses, and numerous buildings making up the terminal facilities of this mammoth corporation. e ; ; The torch was z_npphed to the large Union De%)ot, and the building reduced to ashes. 'All he Pan-Handle trains in the yard and depot buildings, together with the bridge over Washington street, and the immense elevator at the Union Depot, were next fired, and were soon a mass of ashes. There were no fire en%*mes, no police, and nomilitary tointerfere and prevent this terrible work of destruection. The mob was in undisputed possession of everything, no -one daring to interpose even a remonstrance ‘and quickly :‘md thoroughly was the work of desolation planned and executed. -/ The total destruction of the property of the Pennsylvania railroad and freight left in its charge, and also that of the Pan-Handle railroad, including the 125 locomotives, cannot be less than §8,000,000. . A low estimate of the value of the locomotives at the present time would place them at s2,ooo.ooo,though they originally must have cost over $3,000,000. - ey The Union Depotand hotel destroyed, owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, cost in the neighborhood of $600,000.

It is the culmination of many causes,which ‘have been augmentingin volume since. the close of the civil war, and have: finally burst the bounds of restrainf andlaw, oo 0o o BB It is impossible to serutinize the legislation'and the administration of the. republican party during the ten.years succeeding the rebellion, when it iexe,l ercised absolute power, without reaching the conclusion that both were co‘n-'l trolled by the bondholders, the banks, and the rings. ‘The welfare of the people at large and the interests of labor’ in all its- forms were subor‘dinage’ to these powerful -influences. Reconstruetion, by which ' the Southern States, were impoverished and oppressed, becanie a part of the system thro” which the great monopolies were upheld, because it furnished votes for silencing opposition in Congress, with majorities of two-thirds to overcome vetoes, when interposed by Andrew: JOIMBOR. e e T * No such party despotism was ever before witnessed in thig country. The cry of disloyalty was shouted against whoever gave a sign of independende. Few were brave enough ‘to confront it, and the great masssubmitted to the degrading discipline without a word of remonstrance, The ring chiefs entered Congress as masters. They demanded charters, land - grants, and subsidies, and they were voted Withv‘ alacrity by the purchased or silenced members, uftil hundreds of millions of the most valuable part of the public domain passed into the hands ofafew gigantic eorporations. = Tens of millions from the Treasury were also.voted to these corporations, and then Congress abolished the first mortgage on the roads, which was the security of the government for thege enormous grants and advances.. Less than a dozen men own these roads to-day as’ absolutely as they did the committees and the majorities which reported and passed the bills. i : . When the 5-20 bonds were first issued, no-condition was attached :to them requiring payment in coin, except as to the interest. The debates and votes prove incontestably that there was no bbligation to redeem, except in legal eurrency, and Mr. Sher‘man, now Secretary of the Treasury, was conspicuous in asserting that fact at the time, and in opposition to an amendment fo redeem..in gold. - The bondholders were largely represented. in both Houses of Congress, and the outsiders were not idle. 'A great Jobby was organized, and in 1869 ‘these bonds were made payable in gold.' By this legislation the bondholders profited to the extent of several hundred millions, and the taxpayers were burdened proporfionately. B ‘ ‘Most of the legislation for the banks was manipulated by a committee of which the chairman was a shrewd bank president and others were bank: directors. 'Those institutions, under: fostering charters and friendly protection at Washington, grew rapidly into wealth, and many of them: paid fabulous dividends before the crash came. Manufacturers likewise obtained any legislation they needed,and Ahe tariff to-day is a mass of protected monnpolies, without rule or reason. In this wild ‘and reckless career the public expenditures weré multiplied under every conceivable pretext, the currency was expanded, offices were created and extravagance without accountability dominated.. The public revenues were. stolen, and every department .of the Government was run by a ring. . : St : After seven years of fictitious success, the bubble butrst by the bankruptey of one:of the pillars of the vi» cious system, and inBpite of the illegal efforts of the Secretary of the Treasu1y to prevent an ineyvitable catastrophe. The ruin andmisery inflicted by the collapse of 1873, and by its consequences since then, cannot be measured in money. Of all thesufferers, the. laboring men and their familieshave had most to endure, not only in the reduction of wages, but also in the increase of their burdens, for it is not the rich class, by any means, who pay the bulk of the taxes: . They are the favored few, who do not feel the turn of the screw which makes poverty shriek in agony. Gt e S Superadded to these and other caus¢s came the presidential election of last year. Everybody knows that Mr, Tilden was chosen by a large majority ‘of the people, white and colored, and by a majority of theelectoral colleges. A conspiracy was deliberately concocted to deprive the country of the victory thus won, and it succeeded. Mr. Hayes is administering the Gov-. ernment by a barefaced fraud on the people, and through the combination of some of the very men who were leaders during the very period we haye above described. They could not afford to have their past misdeeds bro’t ‘to light, as Mr. Tilden would have unearthed them; and they were determined to hold on to power and patronageatanyeosty . 0 i D

It is not to be supposed that the workingmen, laborers and others, were indifferent spectators to these events.

- The Strikers’ Explanation of It. . The New York World publishes the following as the strikers’ explanation . ‘of. the situation of the employes on . the Baitimore & Ohio road: - " ‘The strikers’ side of the question, which, of course, has to be taken some, what in-moderation, shows at least the intensity of their feelings against the company. They, assert fhat, first of all, ‘their numbers were reduced near1y one-half. Next, their wages of $2.25 per day were reduced to $1.75. Then a system of grades was introduced, making the pay of men in the first class $1.75 per day, and of men in the second class $1.50 perday. On the slightest pretext a fireman in the first class was reduced to the second class, but promotions from the second class ‘were few and far between. Consequently two-thirds or more of all the freTaen were k‘%t in the second class. This was beard#ble if*they had steady . work, but they assert that for-a leng time past the method of working:Hhas - been such that they only earaed enough to pay actual expenses, and they were left. without a penny for their families. = 1 gy A fireman will start from Balti: - more and run on the train clear to . Martinsburg. . There he ‘had to lay ™ over sometimes several days before he could make the run back, as there ‘would be no train offering. During - this time he had to pay board and incur other expense. When he made the run back to Baltimore, however, _he often had to start on another half trip without sufficient rest or any time to spend with his family. Of course he was only paid by the company $l.50 for each day actually worked. This was the state of affairs existing when the fiat went forth that there shonld .be an additional reduction of ten per _cent. of the firemen’s wages. Thefiremen further assert that up to three months ago it was customary for the company to pay their employes between- the Ist and the 6th of every month. During the pastthree months they have not been paid their monthly ‘wages until the 15th of the month fol‘lowing the time it camedye. = ~ The majority of employes in the transportation department, they say, - have not been paid as'yet for their services in June.
