CENTRAL STRIKE SOUELCHED
y?gy
The llervlM 1» Improving—The Iwlleatiom There Will tee Ho TnwMc Witt
Striker*.
N*w Y'osat, Aug.
A conference of the Central officials wai held yesterday afternoon and notices were posted as follows: "Persons seeking employment on the New York Central & Hudson River railroad, will please make application at the office of the Wagner Car .Company." jVice President Webu* ksued a circular which stated tbe position of the company. "We shall select our mr^ and we do not propose that they be designated by the Knights of Labor, or its committee. Whenmen are dismissed we shall get rid of the inefficient, the most vicious and these least in accord with our interests.
When promotions are to be made, we will not be bound by the feniority rules promulgated by the Knights of Labor A due consideration will always be given to the length of service but the first and most important rule will be the qualifications of the men for the place. If our men have grievances, the proper officers will be willing to grant hearings and see that consideration is given but will not allow outsiders to interfere between the employers and employees."
The strikers had a meeting in the afternoon at which 3,000 were present. District -Workman E. J. Lee arrived from Albany to take charge of affairs. At 10 o'clock word was received that strikers bad stopped a passenger at Syracuse and that it could not proceed.
The crucial test of the Knights strength in the Central strike will undoubtedly be made this morning, when the companv will begin moving freight trains. Officials are determined no effort will Be spared to give the public good passenger and freight service as quickly as possible. In an advertisement the company announces tfeeroturn to th© regular schedule of outgoing trains this morning. If public sentiment goes for much, the strikers have few supporters outsidf$4air own ranks. The trouble on the traa Mused by the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad caused needless and tiresome delay for
arable distance, and members were already tired out and in no humor to take gracefully to the long wait in New York. The calling out of a baudful of men on the West Shore railroad, which was meant to be the trump card, did not benefit the strikers in the least and trains on this road ran with customary regularity. It is generally conceded the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineer* will have nothing to do with thi! switchmen in this strike. The engineers themselves are not in sympathy with the strike and if they are called out it will be entirely against their will.
Vice President Webb, of the Central, authorises the following ''Neither the firemen or engineers of the Central have struck, as expected. In fact, we are getting hourly into better working trim. The regular mail went out this morning. During the day we shall dispatch seventy-three trains on full schedule time, The Central and Harlem locals are working regularly. We are making excellent progress,"
Officials of the Centra} speak in the most confident manner this morning. 10 a. m.—Webb has telegraphed Gov. Hill asking for prompt action to prefect the company's property at Syracuse. The large freight yards at Dewilt are in the hands of a mob of strikers, preventing traffic. No serious trouble elsewhere on the Central lines reported.
The Central haa succeeded in moving the first freight train. Yard officials are reticent, saying they don't want the strikers to know their movements. The Central officials have notified the poltee authorities that it isproposedtomove the immense accumulation of freight. More than two thousand cars are standing in the yard#. Officials claim tfa it no perishable freight. Exprees ol^-als say they received their regular Sunday ship* ments. Over fourteen hundred caw of milk «u»e in during the night, some what less than the u*ual quantity,
The Central strike appears to lie ne*riog an end. The couipanv apprsta Mowiy but surely gaining the u. sr band. Matl.exprees, passenger and freight twins are ail moving.

11.—The
strikers on
tbe New York Central were disappointed yesterdar when the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers refused to join them in the strike. The Knights claim that they had assurance that the engineers would participate if it beame necessary, but the latter deny that any sculi move was contemplated. Regular passenger trains were run on the Central, Hudson River and Harlem lines yesterday. There was no disturbance of any kind and no interference on the part of the strikers. The tie-up on the West Shore extended only to flight trains, passenger trains being run as usual. A squad of police wrss on dnty at the^sntral depot.

Tlwl EvaaiviHe press score Terre Haute for dropping the Interstate club. The Journal says tunong other things:
The truth of the whole matter is Terre Haute isn't large enough to support good ball club, and for the lack of patron age their management was forced to retire as gracefully as possible. The club would not have been in existence at all but for the enterprise of F.vansville citi sens, who came to the front with several hundred dollars of hard cash and put the club on its feet at the beginning of the season. "Some are generous enough to say that the village was supporting the club, but their jealousy of Evansville caused them to drop out, fearing that the pocket team would take the lead over them very shortly. "The average Terre Haute citizen can now sit around dull afternoons, talk of the past, whittle on dry goods boxes and squirt tobacco juice on the sidewalk and then in fiendish glee watch the ladies ruin their skirts while trading through tbeambier. "Poor Tarry Hut" -J' ^..f
The Courier sirrupa as follows: "The ingratitude displayed by Terre Haute is absolutely disgusting. That city would have had no club in the League only that Evansville stepped into the breach* with money after the citizens of that city had refused to furnish the required amount, thus making it possible for a club from there taking a position in the League. Under these circumstances the action of the directors in disbanding the club without consulting all of the stockholders and the managers of the other clubs is unpardonable. Terre Haute could have avoided the humiliating position in which she has been placed by calling on this city for further assistance, as it would have been readily furnished to keep a poor neighbor from so great a disgrace.
The action taken by the Terre Haute directory is contemptible and perfectly inexcusable, but will have very little effect on the future of the other four clubs, as they will be much better off without that city in the league."
Both papers are silent about the confidence racket that Harrington worked on Terre Haute. The last schedule was fixed up by Evansville and Terre Haute got the worst of it. Evansville attempted to rob Terre Haute in every conceivable way and succeeded in driving the club out of the league.
Succtss to Rowdy Evansville and the lour club league.
HORRIBLE BARBARITIES.
Rebels in Morocco Captnrp an Inland CitAdel. PAHIS, August 11.—An almost incredible story of barbarity reaches here from Morocco. Two of the native tribes joined in revolt and with their combined armieB attacked the citadel of one of the towns in the interior. Thu citadel was taken and the sultan's army utterly routed with a loss of many prisoners, who were mercilessly murdered by the victorious re bels. A hundred and twenty had their throats cut besides suffering most horri ble indignities their captors couJd devise. Among tK$*|Mwne1!s were two sons of the governor of the citadel and upon them the most excruciating tortures were practiced. They were bound hand and foot, their flesh cut piece meal from their .bodies and roasted and they were then forced to eat the pieces until death relieved them from their sufferings.
llow' They Carry Money*
One of the queerest sights is to see how diflerent immigrants carry their money.
Most English immigrants carry their coin in a small case, attached to admin, which they keep in a pocket as they would a watch.
Irishmen always have a little canvas bag in which notes and coin are crammed together. Irish girls, on the other hand, generally have their money sewed on the inside of their dresses.
Germans carry their money in a belt round their waists, and the belt is usually an elaborate and costly affair, no matter how poor the immigrant may be.
The French mostly carry a small brass tube in which they can place forty or fifty twenty franc pieces and remove them very readily one at a time.
There are very tew Italians who do not carry a large tin tube in which they keep their paper money or silver coins, and this tube is hung round their neck by a small chain or cord.
Swedes and Norwegians ore sure to have an immense pocket book that has generally been used by their fathers and grandfathers before them, and which has in it enough leather to make a pair of boots.
The Slavonians and Hungarians tarry their money in their long boots, together with A knife, fork and spoon.—Chatter.
Some Costly Wood Worlc. An interesting relic is the wood work of the boudoir of Louisb de la Valliere, waB panels, dado, ceiling and doors, all painted a soft cream white and adorned with pointings of cupids and roses and fluttering blue ribbons, relieved with light arabesques of gold- These have np and put in place, so that the «4«ct of the dainty little room can ho fiOly appreciated. The panels for the WAIIS of another boudoir, of the reign ci Look XV, were in pale pink satin, embroidered with the fine silk cord called ewloMiefet. with garlands of flowers u. njled with birds and butterflies, the being so beAutifuIly executed as to nble a water color drawing in its and finish.

AFTER O'BRIEN.
He also wrote a work in defense of the Gospels, which was a failure, inasmuch as the attempt was made to support the testimony of the evangelists by the rules of evidence administered in courts of justice. No genius or learning could make success of a work on this basis. The Gospels aro true but the evidence is of a far higher kind than that administered in courts of justice, although lawyers sometimes affect to be very wise, and talk in a watery way on this subject Their efforts in this direction do not strengthen the evidences, and sometimes tend to throw a doubt over what is clear enough when seen from another and proper standpoint. Judye Metcalf, a sturdy believer of the old sort, was not deceived by this sort of thing, and pronounced the work of Mr. Greenleaf "the meanest hook ever written by a white man."—Buston Beacon.*, a

Simon Greenleaf, tli£ famous law professor at Cambridge, sind author of the best treatise on evid^ico ever written, was native of New Gloucester, Me.

He Was so poor as to be once arrested for debt. He removed to Portland, where he made such a favorable impression that he was appointed reporter of decisions after Maine became a stale, and acquired a fine reputation. His business was large, and he stood among the first when he was invited, through the influence of Judge story, to become royal professor of law at Cambridge, where he soon acquired a national reputation.

CONGRESS THIS WEEK.
But Lillie LMk«4 for in the lion**— The WAsrrrKfiTOji, D. C., August 11.—Ow inar to the fact that members have gone to Boston to attend the G. A. It encampment, it is probable that little or no business will be transacted in the house before the latter part of the week, was the intention of the leaders to assign the week to the agricultural com pound lard and meat inspection bills and to the committee on education which is ready to call up the bill to extend aid agricultural colleges, but it is feared thAt no quorum will be presenter that if there is it will include a majority of Democrats who by their action derange the
of the committees. The proceed uga therefore will probably be confined to action upon the conference reports upon the fortification and sundry civ appropriation bills, possibly interspersed with recesses for a day or more.
In the Senate the tariff bill will be dis cussed until Friday when it is expected the river and harbor bill will lie taken up. But this is not altogether certain, as several Senators are opposed to the tariff bill being displaced by any bill. The discussion of the tariff bill will probably be interrupted by the presentation of the conference reports upon the sundry civil appropriation bill and the land grant forfeiture bill.
BUTTERWORTH'S MISSION.
Oir for Washington on World's Fair .. Business. CHICAGO, Aug. 11.—Hon. Ben Butter worth,secretary of the World's JRair,leaves for Washington to-day to promote con gressional action to wipe out that clause of the World's Fair bill which requires as a precedent to the presidential invitation to all nations to participate in an exposition that "satisfactory proof must be had that a sum not less than ten millions of dollars has been raised." There is no doubt in the minds of the directors and commissioners that the requisite sum will bo raised, but literally the com mission cannot say in fact that the amount has been provided for and it might be twelve months or longer before proof could be forthcoming, that the money was on hand. As a result, unless this change is effected on the president's proclamation might be indefinitely delayed and this would result in great in jury to the interests of the fair and the preparation of exhibits in European countries.

The Fiest Steamer oil the MimlMtppi. In the year 1811 Nicholas J. Roosevelt built steamer at Pittsburg, after first getting a permit from Fulton and Livingstone. Fulton furnished the plans for tho boat, which was called the New Orleans. It was a stem wheeler of about 800 torn burden, and was also provided with sails, which vrero used when the wind was fair. The hull of this pioneer Mississippi craft was 188 feet in fenggi, 90 feet toam, and the cost of the whole, including engines, has been fig ursd at about $40,000. Roosevelt and his family, with an engineer, pilot and six deck hands, left Pittsburg Oct 11, 1811, tod reached New Orleans two Weeks later. When the New Orleans rode down the Ohio and out into the broad waters of the Mississippi that October morning seventy-nine yean ago she marked a new era in the history of the "Great West"—St Louis Republic.

TO-DAY'S FIRE.
A Confusion of Boxes and an Eaeape From a Bad Fire. About 11:20 the fire department was called to 922 South Center street by a bad fire which was well undet way in the large double barn in the rear .of the premises. The property is owned aud occupied by Prof. Albert E. Hump, formerly of the8tate Normal. The stable was damaged beyond repair with a loss of about $200, covered by insurance. The barn, adjoining, on the premises occupied by Dr. Sohell, was damaged to the .j extent of $25. The Two's hose company were summoned to the fire by a messenger, but pefore they left their premises pulled their box, 8.
Simultaneously box 64, corner of Seventh and Deming was pulled. Box 8 being one of the old "interfering boxes" confused the alarm and in consequence the balance of the department in
houses got three rounds of 35, one of 52 and five stray licks on their alarm gongs. The Ariel truck on the second round of 34 went out to the Threes house on North Thirteenth street near the Polytechnic. After they had returned to the fire the stables had been burned. The Fours, who go to box 8, did not get to that box at all and remained in their house.
Chief Jones saw the smoke from fire department headquarters and ordered the Fives company to follow him to the fire. There was general confusion which fortunately did not result disastrously but which at another time might easily so result and the department oe in 410 way to blame. There are twenty-two of these old interfering boxes. The* sooner they are. exchanged for non-interfering boxes the better for the department and our system of fire protection.
