THE NORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE: TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 19, 1895. STRIKERS SURRENDER Brooklyn Street Cur Employes Finally Starved Into Submission. LASTED THIRTY-POUK DAYS. Fight or Krnpty Stomachs Against Capital Results In Victory For the Latter Strik er Imuo an Addrcs to the Public Cost, S3.000.00O. Brooklyn, Feb. 18. In calling off the strike of the Brooklyn Heights and the Brooklyn, Queen's County and Su burban railways, the officers of district assembly No. 75 issued the following ad dress: "To the public: Acting in behalf of their employes, we presented to the officials of the Brooklyn Heights and the Brooklyn, Queen's County and Su burban Railway companies certain re quests for improved conditions of labor on their roads for the year 1895. Sub fieqnently these requests, which were never other than of the most reasonable nature, were modified so as to leave the companies no excuse for a failure to come to an agreement with their employes. We have exhausted every honorable means to effect a friendly settlement, but the trollev officials assumed a most uncompromsing attitude and refused to make a single concession in response to our reasonable requests. "They went further and so far from improving the conditions of their em ployes they insisted upon tonus less fa Torable than they had made without protest in 1894 and in previous years. Their actions forced their employes to suspend labor on Jan. 14 last. Since then there has not been a day on which the men have not been willing to go more than half way in an endeavor to adjust a diflicnlty that entailed hard ships on the employes as well as incalculable loss and inconven ience to the public. The companies have not had the same consideration for the public; the same spirit of com promise. The started out to starve their employes into submission and they have finally succeeded. It has been a fight of dollars agains empty stomachs and as was to have been ex jMictod the dollars have won a victory, though a dear one. Our people after heroic resistance have at hist submitted to the inevitable. The civic, military, and in some instances the judicial pow ers, have all been used to coerce them. "We desire to return our most sincere thanks to the organizations and iudi Tiduals who have in any way aided our people during tho strike and hope our sympatliizors may never feel the power of corporate oppression. Many of our people still need assistance to keep tho wolf of hunger from their doors A little from the many will suffice, and any citizen, society or newspaper that will help our men in this respect will re ceive the best thanks of all, with the hope that the time will yet come when equal rights mil be accorded to all, njecial privileges to noue, and that all will stand equal before tho law." ' This action on the part of district as sembly No. 75 will permit the strikers of 33 roads to return to work, or at least apply to be taken back. The strike against President Norton of the Atlantic avenue line is still on. Thestrike, which has lasted 34 days, has cost an enormous amount of money. Three million hollars is considered by those involved a moderate estimate. When the strike started it was stated that District Assembly No. 7f had from $09,000 to $80,000 in its treasurer. About ft5,000 was subscribed by sympathizers. All this has baen spant and the $350, 000 wages the men would have earned has been lost. Tho Brooklyn Heights company was tho heaviest loser among the roads. It is estimated to have lost directly $600,000. The other systems have lost $300,000. The cost to the city and state troops is expected to exceed $250,000. The damage done by cars manned by inexperienced men is placed at $100,000 more, and tho loss in earn ing capacity by tlie militia during their stay in Brooklyn is conservatively esti mated at $250,000. There were many other losses to swell the amount in ad dition to the incouvenieuce and suffer ing caused by tho big strike. taut Act of Wyoming Legislature. Chkykn.ve, Wy., Feb. IS. Just Ins fore the legislature adjourned sine die at 5 o'clock Sunday morning a resolution was introduced and unanimously adopted instructing the attorney gen eral of Wyoming to at once begin pro ceedings against the bondsmen of Otto Gramm, ex-state treasurer, and the as signee of the T.

TO PARDON' A FAKE SPRINTER. Movement to Secure Ed Markley's ICelc From the Fort Madison Penitentiary. Fairfield, la., Feb. 18. On Not. 15, 1892, a conspiracy culminated in this city by which W. E. Bowman, cashier of a bank at Bonaparte, was fleeced out of $3,825 on a fake foot race by Thomas Robinson, a sprinter from St. Louis, i and Ed Markley of Pennsylvania. At the April term of court, 1893, the grand jury indicted Thomas Robinson, Ed, Markley, Henry A. and Thomas Bauer, brothers, of Iowa City, who acted as I stakeholders, and Fred Cunningham, a reporter on a St. Lotus paper, for lar cency. In due time Sheriff Crane found all of these men and at the November term a trial was had and Ed Markley was tried, convicted and sent to the pen itentiary for four years, while his part' ners were successful in securing bail and have been at large ever since. Thursday in the district court all the cases against these parties were dis missed, as it was found impossible to find the witnesses in the case. This case had gained considerable notoriety in all of the adjoining states among the sporting fraternity, and the outcome has been watched by them with consid erable interest. An effort is being niado to have Governor Jackson pardon Ed M:irkley, as his health is verv bad and he cannot live long. The scheme of these men was to se cure a stakeholder who would agree to give them all back the money each time Bowman put any up, so that when Bow man put up $200 they also covered his amount, making $400 in tho stake holder's hands. This he would give back to the defendants, who would make a bet of $400 against Bowman, and so on until Bowman had up $3,825, when Robinson, who was being backed by Bowman, throw the race in favor of Markley. After the race the whole gang skipped from town, leaving Bow man to hold the sack. Stolen Property Recovered. Cedar Rapids, Feb. IS. J. H. Boyce, the Fayette jeweler who had $1,000 worth of jewelry and watches and $300 in cash stolen from his establishment about two months ago, has just recov ered part of his property.

IOMAX, Gen 1 Pass, and Ticket Agent, Omaha, Neb. . PRESENT SYSTEM THE BEST. Kx-Commlulotter fetockslamr Object t Proponed Land Oflcea Changes. Washington, Feb. 18. A vigorous protest has been made by Hon. S. M. Stockslaeer. ex-commissioner of the land office, against the adoption by con gress of the recommendations of the Dockery joint commission, to abolish the office of surveyor general of public lands and to transfer the survey of these lands to a new bureau composed of the geolog ical bureau, the coast and geodetic sur vey and the surveying branch of the general land office. Mr. Stockslager disputes the claim of the commission that by the proposed change the survey work could be done in a better manner. Under the present system he asserts every safeguard, which an experience of more than 100 years could suggest, is now used to have the best work possible done and none other accepted. If the work was performed by men employed, as proposed, at an an nual salary and sent out from Washing ton, and a careless, incompetent or cor rupt man should be employed, there would be no way to find out the errors until they developed in contests and liti gation between settlers over then- claims. Mr. Stockslaeer declares that the cost of surveys under the proposed new sys tem would be very mnch greater, and should not be surprised if it were 'nearly twice as much as now. BICYCLISTS MEET IN NEW YORK. Annual Convention of the League of Amer ican Wheelmen. New York, Feb. 18. The annual convention of the League of American Wheelmen began at the Grand Union hotel in this city, with an attendance of bicyclists from all the states from Maine to California, The object of the con vention is to discuss several important changes in the laws of the league and the selection of a place for the next an nual meeting? It is probable that the question of whether or not the color line will bo drawn in the league will come up during the present session and there is also likely to be a fight as to where the next meeting of the league is to be held. There are two parties, the Boston and Asbury Park, and both maintain that it would be best for the league to hold its meet on their respective tracks. The president presented his annual re port, in which he advised the holding of two conventions yearly, one in the east and the othor in the west. Tho report of the secretary shows that the membership has decreased from 251 local leagues to 180. There are 690 lady members. NATIONAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN.

At Mr. Davia' house, with whom rhe Kurzes board, sat Fritz Kurz. He was ust re covering his composure from the excite ment and consternation ins uppearanco had caused to a few female neighbors who were awaiting his wife's return from the funeral. He then related to the undertaker his first knowledge of his wifo's errand, when, upon entering his home, he saw the strange occupants of tho house fleeing in terror at his appear ance. Surprised at tneir strange con duct, he inquired, ' Where is Kate?" and the startling reply came, "At Nor- ristown attending your funeral. " Kurz informed tho undertaker that he was in New York working at his trade, but owing to a disagreement with tho boss came home. The undertaker hurried home and in formed tho small band of mourners of tho situation. Norristown Special in Philadelphia Press. INVENTORS BARRED OUT. Only Flying Machines That Have Been Per fected Will Bo Pntented. We hear a great deal from time to time in regard to new inventions which are coming out for the purpose of en abling a man to fly, either from efforts of his own or through tho . intervention of steam engines or other motors. It is interesting to noto the attitude which the United States patent office has taken in regard to such inventions. They prac tically destroy all claims for flying ma chines beforehand, and tho following is an abstract from what is practically a circular letter sent out to all attorneys who havo niado application for flying machine patents. It reads as follows: "On taking np this case for examina tion it is found that tho invention dis closed thereby is, as a whole, incapable Frances E. Williard, Clara .8. Hoffman, Margaret Isabel Sondes, 1.

In other words, it is not useful within tho meaning of the law. No evidence will bcconsid"red suffi cient to demonstrate tho operativeness of tho devico and warrant the with drawal of the objection made by the office except a working model that is, one with which it is passible to actually as cend and direct the course of flight at wilL " Thus it is practically useless for auv inventor to make un application for a patent until ho has actually succeeded in flying. It it barely possible that such a stand as this in regard to certain in ventions would not bo amiss, as there are moro impracticable ideas patented than tho world at large havo any idea of. While it may be considered as a hardship by flying machine inventors that they aro debarred from the protec tion of tho patent office, yet until they havo actually produced something which will accomplish the results claimed they certainly have no right to overlap the claim of protection on the patent office.
