CutcAoo , Nov. 1. [ Special Telegram to
tlio BMJ. : The strike of rOM , men at the
slock ynrds tills morning was not tnucli of a
surprise I'jthor to tlin packers or the public ,
us it has boon expected and predicted present.
The trouble only concerns two houses , those
of (5. V. Swift & Co. , and Nelson Morris.
They kill no hogs mid the men who are out
to-chiy are beef buthurs mid lugjer.s. Swift
A ; Co. and Mortis each employ about 3,000
men who am united against tlio retutn to ten
hours u day. They claim that If the packers
had shown any Inclination to increase their
pay the matter could have been passed o\er.
Not n weld has been said about pay for the
extra two hours and the men are out for the
purpose of bringing thn houses to an nnder-
fltandlng. The strikers aic under excellent
discipline and pence prevailed attheyaids
nil niornltiK , though Idle men were
Katheied In latgo crowds In alle > s and about
the packing hollies. None of the other pack
inghouses nru alTecled and It Is thought that
trouble will not spread. When the butchers
ntiuek this morning they rushed over to Ai-
iimur's and tried to net the men thete to go
out. The crowd btoke thiough tlie watch
men but Armour's men "stuck. " They
wanted no moie "strike In theirs. " When
It was clear that they eonld not pet the
Armour men out the crowd left In an oidcrly
way. There Is a feeling ol uulot satisfaction ,
noia word of which Is expiessed , but which
Is no less apparent among the packers who
had to make the ten hour light last month
that Swift and Nelson Moirisaro getting a
hott of.io\\anl for playing double then. It was
not until Delegates Butler and Harry found
this out that It was known at the jards that
Swift and .MoilIs were "carrying watci on
) Ktli shoulders" they were secretly very much
pleased when the men walked out at Ar-
IIIOIU'R. The latter's tioubles are oxer now
and ho can watch with complacency the
Hctlloment of. thu troubles of the other beef
houses.

CHICAGO , Nov. 1. The threatened strike
among b et men at the block ynrds com
menced this morning , and nearly six thou-
B.inil men are now out fiom the slaughter
houses of ( . ! . K. Swift it Co. . nnd Nelson Moi-
rls. The trouble Is over the adoption of the
ten hour si stem , the men refusing to work
two extra hours without additional Dav. In
these two houses there aie no lions killed
nnd the employes saj thev cannot accept the
ten hiiui system. Kuch ol the lirius employ
about . ' 1.000 men , and at present many of
them are conuicgau-d about the streets and
on the corners near the big houses , but theie
Is yet no indication ot any tiouble. There Is
n gieat deal of excitement , but tin ; men are
orderly and insist that no act of thcli.swill
pieelpltate any tiouble. There Is no Indica
tion that tlie police will be called upon to
protect the two houses , but it Is yet too earlv
to deteimlne the Intention of the two tilms.
At 11 o'clock eveiytlUng was quiet.
Kmthei particulars fiom the stock yards
strike are to the effect that Swill's men sent
a committee to him Satmday and insisted on
having an Ineteaso ot litty cents n day should
thn llrm leturn to the ten houisjstem. This
moiiiing when the beef butrhcis went to
work they found that Korenmn Welder , of
Swift's had discharged Jamo ; Afatthcw-
hon , ono of the committee men They also
found that the wages of the laboters had not
been incieased , so they stiuck. Thev insist
now on havlni : Mnttliewsou leln&tatcu and
nlM ) the return to the eiirht-hour dav. On
lieaiing that Swift's men were out. the beef
bntclici.s ocmploycd by Nelson Moiris went
out. The croud went down to the Smith
machine shop and compelled the men there
to strike. After this they went to Armour's
for the purpose of calling his men out , but
tills move was anticipated by the Him , who
got u force of police to guard the prlncip.il
entrances , and the crowd was kept away.
' 1 ho stiikers have arranged to hold u meeting
dining tlio day. Amemberof the cxecutho
committee told a repoiter that unless the two
linns gave In all the emploves in the yards
would be called out.
Between two and Unco hundred ni"M in
Ilhby , McNullI < k Lllmv's canning establish
ment also went out. The reason alleged was
that Molds' establishment pnitlv supplies
tlio ill in with beef. A meeting of tlio Milkers
Mas held late this afternoon. No one except
Knights ot Labor were admitted. Fully ono
thousand non-union strikers congregated on
the outside , anxiously awaiting the action ot
the knlshts. Several .speeches were made ,
and wild applause gicctcd every lefeience tu
the oighMiour dav. A motion to makr
no compromise on'anything shoil of eight
hours was carried by a nnairimoiis vote. A
committee was appointed to take charge ol
tlie strike and given full power to act. A
Kulvht of Labor explained to-night that the
men hml been offered tlio lolnslatemiMit ol

theatre last night ho heard n nolso
on the roof mid some ono shouted
"nuuderl" mid "helpI" Hurrying Into
the house , Mr. Vernon went up
to the roof nnd there found the servant , who
was rolling nbout as if mad. As soon as tlio
woman saw him she rushed towaid him ,
shrieking , "Police 1 Police ! Ah , I've got yon
now I" Before Mr. Vernon vvasavvarooflt
the vvomnn had spuing upon him , and , grasp
ing him by the throat , threw him dow n. Her
gtip wasso sliongthat Mr , Veinou was un
able to call tor help , and a totrilic struggle
followed. Slowly but surely the fren/.ied
woman , who had stopped shouting
and w.is now struggling silently , cairled her
employer to the edge ot the loof , informing
him that she was going ( o throw him over
Into thu stieet. The house Is a fotir-stoiy
nnd high basement btown stone. The struggle
that had taken place was mere child's play to
what followed. The grip on Vernon's
throat was slowly but snroly weakening him ,
and ho felt that he could not hold out much
longer , when a ttiumnhant ety from the
wommi showed that they vveic at the edge of
thoioof. One moie effort was made on Mr.
Vernon's pmt to imsh back , nnd the woman
elaxcd her hold , while her employer
ell backwaid over the edge of the
roof. Foitunately for Mr. Veinon there
was n net worlc of telephone and elec
tric light wiies just below the coi nice , and
these saved Ills lite. Tlio wires held him and
: ie was enabled by a superhuman elfoit to te-
galn the root. Tlio woman stood near tlio
edge ol the coinlce with her hands
clinched. In a. moment she renewed
the attack. By souio means the struggling
couple managed to reach tlio s-tittle
'ending into tlio house. Down they went ,
'milling lietcely at each step. Through the
muse they fought to the front hallway.
Mi. Veinon opened the door and they
reached the stieet and ) cries of "HelpI'
brought two policemen , ho.spnut . the next

A WICKED WIFE.
How Two Detectives Secured an Old
Man's Murderer.
It was iiveryordinury-arjpcnring trunk
of rather lnro ( si/.o , and shipped from
L < hiciigu to Now York ; but when , after a
time no ono claimed it , mid a sickening
odor issued from Its locked depths , the
authorities broke it open and revealed
a murder.
Yes , a cruel , deliberate murder of an
old gray-haired man , a wealthy broker as
it proved , who hail boon reported missing
in Chicane. Alasl the trunk had too well
concealed the crime and given the mur
derers time to o.senpo.
A largo reward was ollbred for the
guilty perpetrators by the broker's wife ,
mid detrotives vvoro looking high anil
low for .some clew , but for days tliero ap
peared not one ray of liirht in the dark
mystery.
True a number of suspicions wore
nursed , ono particularly , that pointed
toward John Gascon , tlio broker's
adopted son.
'I lie stricken wife , a young and beauti
ful Italian , kept her room , and only a few
were permitted , to enter her jire'r.o. .
A detective , while loitormg near tlio
residence of the murdered man , saw ono
day coming out of the side entrance a
black-eyed , black-haired man , a servant
apparently , but .something in the man's
daric face attracted the olliccr's noticp.
"I've seen that follow somewhere in n
dill'ereiit iig , but where lor the lifo of me
I can't tell. 1 think I'll keep an eye on
him. "
And he did.
The result was ho again met the same
humble appearing individual , but thi'
tinio as he passed him the wind , just then
blowing turiouslv , throw oiwn the miin't
coat and revealed the glitter of a diamond
mend stud.
'All. I thought him other ( nan lit
fieemeil ! Now to discover who and what
ho is. "
Thcro came to tlio door of the mur
dered man's residence ono day two old
Deiilcr- , with wares such as to charm tin
servant girls.
"Yon patronize an Italian pcdlor , " salt :
