The Strike Will Etad From Smm Turk
to Xw OriMM.
Pittsbcbg, Penn., April 24. The
brotherhood railroad train men have
take up thej 'cause of the awitchiuan.
Varioua meetings were held throughout
the city, but tha most important was
held by the brotherhood of trainmen,
which take in the brakemen, firemen,
etc. They not only resolved to cling to
the switchmen in their demands but
also presented grievances of their own
to be adjusted, In addition to the
trouble bow on hand, the car inspectors,
freight handlers, car cleaners, clerks in
the freight offices, and men employed in
the transportation department will pre
sent in the morning a liat of their griev
ances. The shopmen employed in the
numerous shops about the city will also
present certain demands. The situation
tonight is all the more grave, in that the
men have not been idle, while the rail
road officials have up to tonight treated
the demands of the men with something
like indifference. Grand Muster Wilke-
son says tonight they can call out 14,000
men if necessary and as the entire
brotherhood is involved the strike will
extend from New York on the east to
New Orleans on the west.

flames. Headed by Captain Oscar Weis
ner the pipemen of engine company No.
42 rushed into the second story and
directed their streams on the flames.
Scarcely bad they got to work when the
floor gave way and five firemen were
piled amid the blazing timbers in the
basement It did not seem possible
that they could escape alive, but instant
ly six streams of water were turned into
the debris and the work of rescue be
gan. As soon as the flames were beaten
back the imprisoned men were dragged
into the street Captain Weisner was
severely burned about the head and
neck and Pipemai Charles Heine was
burned about the hips. William Cal

the head and is thought to be internally

A Man Drowned.
Chicago, III, April 24. A watch
man near the Rush street bridge heard
splash in the water shortly before
midnight last night, and running to the
wharf found a hat and bundle which
probably belonged to the man who was
in the water. Grappling irons were at
once used, but the body could not be
found. The hat left on the dock con
tained a card marked "C. R. Davidson
with James A. Miller, insurance agents,
149 and 179 LaSalle street." A railroad
ticket to Ravenswood was also in the
hat The bundle contained an old pair
of shoes. The Rush street bridge tender
bad seen a drunken man carrying a
package wandering about with two
rough looking individuals about 11
o'clock, ft looked to him as if the
drunken man was being towed about
by the two toughs for tbe purpose of
getting a chance to rob him.
Shot his Victim.
Louisville, Kv., April 24. A report
comes from Cattlettsburg that Colonel
W. S. Smith, manager of tbe lumber
company near Pineville, ahot and killed
Frank Phillips. Philippe, when he
first met Smith some weeks ago,
charged him with being the man who,
during the war, had his father arrested
and sent to prison. This Smith denied
and apparently satisfied Phillips. That
night, however, Phillips sought out
Smith's quarters and shot him while in
bed, inflicting a painful but not danger
ous wound. When Smith recovered he
got from Govenor Fleming of West Vir
ginia requisition on Govenor Buckner
for Phillips's arrest. Under authority
of Governor Buckner Smith attempted
to arrest Phillips, when the latter was
killed.

II la iiupomibel to tell the Extent or Ike
Damage.
Locisvillf, Ky, April 22. A tele
phone message was received last night
about 9:30 o'clock frem Harrodsburg
saying that a fire was raging which
threatened to destroy the business por
tion of the town. It is impossible to
tell the extent of the damages. It
originated in Card well's drug store and
opera house, and quickly spread to ad
joining buildings, completely distroying
tbe following: A-Bedwise's restaurant,
no insurance; Matteny k Potet, dry
goods, total loss; II. J. Woods, confec
tionery, partial loss; G. C. Bottoms, sa
loon, total loss; HanforJ, James k Co.,
dry goods, complete loss; Smith A
Witherspoon, drugs, complete loss.
These business bouses are situated on
the east side of Main street The fire
then spread to the west side completely
destroying J. Gladscomb's saloon, Hen
ry Morgan's barber shop, the Western
Union telegraph office and abcut five
other juildings in the block were burned.
It is supposed that the opera Louse
was set on fire by small boys. The loss
will reach 1100,000 ar 1100,000.
At 1:13 this morning word was re
ceived that the fire was under control
having burned all within its reach. No
c'efinite news can be learned of the fire
but it is reported that half of the town
is burned.
It caa be Remedied.
New York. April 22. Secretary Rush
is about to issue an address to tbe farm
ers of the country explaining how the
depression in agriculture can be reme
died. He attribute the present state
of affairs in part to the carelessness in
culture and says that in these days of
world wide competition a successful
farmer must be ss well trained and care
tul in business as the stocK operator and
his equal in intelligence and generaledu
cation. The secretary also thinks that tbe
farmer does not study tbe market re
ports as carefully as he should, and rec
ommends that he avail himself of the
information supplied by the agricultural
departments. He thinks that farmers
should not acquire more land than they
can profitably cultivate.
After touching on the question of
mortgages, transportation, middle men,
gambling in farm products and combi
nations to control vhe market, the secre
tary makes a long argument in favor of
higher duties on farm products. He
gives tables to show that our imports
of agricultural products amount to $200
273,738, the greater part of which prob
ably 200,000,000 might be with proper
encouragement produced on our own
soil. He thinks that the problem can be
solved by the imposition of high rates
of duty on agricultural products.

there was mourning over the death of

concourse of people. Todsy had been
decided upon by the "Cherokee boomers"
as a fitting time to move on the Chero
kee strip. No raid occurred, however,
the settlers having detirmined to obey
President Harrison's order and keep
off the Indian lands until formally

LABOR'S DISCONTENT.
Haa been Talking for More thaa a Week
of Mtriklnar.
New York, April 24. The local as
semblies of the Knights of labor along
the line of the New York Central rail
road have been talking for more than a
week of striking because of grievances
against Theodore Voorbes, the general
superintendent. Officials of the road
have uniformly denied that there was
any cause tor a strike or any expectation
of it, but leaders of local assemblies
keep on talking stiike all the same.
Employers who are enrolled in these
assemblies on this end of the line are
mainly switchmen and train hands,
with, it is said a fe"v firemen. The latest
of these sssemblies to move in the mat
ter is local assembly 602 whose members
are employed at the Grand Central Sta
tion here. According to its officers the
lembly last Sundsy voted substantial
ly to demand a dismissal of Superin
tendent Voorbes and declared their in
tention aid that of other employes to
begin a general strike unless their de
mand was complied with.
The statement of grievances drawn
up at this meeting saserts that superin
tendent Voorhes has systematically red-iced
tbe working force of the road and
thereby crippled its efficiency and done
great injury in many individual cases.
They cite one instance where, early in
April Mr. Voorhes ordered a discharge
of a flagman named Coagrove, who for
a long time has been stationed in Rock
cut near Garrison's Point. At 4 o'clock
the next morning a rock weighing 25.000
pounds fell into the cut upon the tracks.
Goegrove aroused his wife and sent her
in her night clothes to Garrison's to
warn the express train which was about
due, while he started in the opposite di
rection to stop the freight train. He
did not succeed in stopinig the freight
and a wreck of fifteen cars was the re
sult His wife stopped the express train,
however. General Manager Toucey
sent Mrs. Cossgrove a check for $100 and
reinstated her huiband for life. The
men declare that Voorbes has reduced
the running force between New York
and Buffalo more than 400 menf The
number of flagmen they say haa been
reduced one third. President Depew
says the reductions are only those made
every spring and Mr. Voorhes is only
carrying out the orders of his superior,
