CHICAGO , April 14. The Dally News to

threaten to quit the employ of the Baltimore

JNews goes into the details of the compulsory
insurance mentioned in these dispatches last

adds that every employe has been given to
understand that ho must sign a contract or
be discharged. Determined and serious oppo

ized. Accoiding to the News , an Insurance
broker of this city , who has examined the
Baltimore & Ohio system , says that tbo
charges nro on an average twice as high
ns those of accident and life insurance com
panies carrying sluilhtr risks. The contract
which the employes were asked to sign con
tains a clause making the Insurance a re
lease of all clnlms for damages against the
company for Injury or death. A dispatch

SNAKE AND WOLF FIGHT.
Terrlblo Midnight KncountorBetween
T\vo of Unrnum's I'ctn.
The etrokoof Iho midnight boll Imd
scarcely died livst nluht , snys tlio Now
York Morning-Journal , when tlioro wns
n commotion inside ot a lotiff , ( loop chest
that stood hist inside the wolves' cnrjo
in the Madison Sqnaro Qnrdon. Ilnrtuy
any was about , snvo the night watch
man and Superintendent Gcorpo Conk-
lin , who has charge of the animals and
never scoins to sleep ,
The ohost spoken of was heavy and
resting on a support that was not strong
enough to bear the weight. A prelim
inary cracking gave warning that the
foundation was giving way , but there
were no cars in ronch to heed.
A moment or two later the supports
gave way and the chest toppled ever on
its side , the lid flying 6pcn and remain
ing so.Vljnt seemed like a yellow
Hash followed the oponilig of the lid ,
and a sinuous body waved and darted ,
with open mouth at fancied onomlos. it
was the biggest -snako In the collection
of Mlllo. Junota , ( ho snake charmer ,
that had thus escaped from his quarters.
Seeing that no enemies wcro torment
ing him and recovering his lost temper ,
ho dragged hlmsolf lazily from the box.
With the dim light of n flickering gas
jot glinting' on his shiny bncktho snake
made his way toward the wolf's don.
Embracing-ono of the wheels ho grad
ually innuo his way upward , and was
lust dragging his tall .across the iron
bars to the top of the wagon , when ono
of the wolves spied It * With n snarl ho
ho leaped for the bars and took a flrm
grip on the snnko with his teeth.
In an instant the scene changed from
quiet to pandemonium , the other wolves
howling and dashing thorasolvos
against the bars In u fury of rage , while
the hugo body of the snake waved and
twisted like a willow wand in the hands
of a drum major.
Its body was useless below where the
wolf had gripped it , but quickly looping
itself around the iron brnko-roau , it
managed to got a cell around the wolf's
nock. By this tlmo , which was not
moro than three seconds from the time
the llrst noise was heard , Mr. Con kiln
was running toward the sueno of the
accident.
A glance at the overturned box and
the sight before him was all that was
necessary. .
"Bring the other ! " ho yelled to an
assistant ; who quickly obeyed. The
wolf's eyes were protruding from his
head and the bones could almost bo
hoard to crack as tlio snake oxortcd Its
great strength. The snake's eyes glittered -
torod .and Its jaws "moved nervously
from the } iam the 'wolf .was Inflicting ,
but both were nearly motionless.
A sponge saturated with other was
applied on tlio end of a polo to the nos
trils of oach. combatant , and in a few
seconds the snake fell in an inert heap
on the floor , just as the wolf released
his grasp , reeling from side to side.
The snnko's wound , which , was serious ,
was hurriedly dressed by Mr. Conklln
and the reptiLe was hustled into his box
bcforo ho recovered.
Mr. Conklin then entered the wolf
cage and revived the other lighter with
ammonia and found him weak , but un
hurt , with the exception of a laceration
of his nose , whore It had been crushed
against the iron birs. Thou potico
again settled over the garden.

Broilers should now bo ready for mar
ket , says the American Poultry Journal.
The early sellers catoh the prico.
Everything depends upon duo care and
feeding of the chicks. For the first
twenty-four hours from the shell they
need ho nourishment. Nature supplied
thorn iu the egg. When able to run
about in the brooder and the early
broiler is an incubator chick , of course
an egg diet is bust. Mash hard-boiled
yolks and mix with several times their
bulk of broad and crumbs moistened in
sweet milk. After the first week , add
oatmeal or corn meal occasionally. At
the end of two weeks omit the eggs
gradually from the diet. Lot the meal
bo swollen or cooked. Twice a week
season the mush with a little rod pep
per , and put in some finely chopped
onions to prevent gapes. As the chicks
become larger , small grains oats , millet -
lot , wheat screenings and broken
corn may bo given. There should
be green food for the larger
chicks. Lettuce seed sown early and
allowed to grow to an inch of loaf is an
excellent forage for them. If they do
not oat it , ebon it fine and mix it with
the other food. A pan of calcined bone
in ono of the runs is a good preventive
of acidity. The eighth or ninth week
should bo given to fattening the birds.
They must then ho confined in close
quarters. Feed sparingly at first , and
then give all they will pick up three
tlmob a day. The starchy and saccharine
"
rine , vegetables potatoes" and boots
form an important Item than. Above
all , bo cleanly in every particular.
Knrni Notes.
It improves bran to scald it before
feuding it to slock.
March winds do more harm to stock
than the cold of January.
Feed no corn to stock at the begin
ning of warm weather. It will not pay.
When scours ocnur in a herd of hogs
give thorn burnt corn or charcoal once a
Uay.Give
Give the BOW and pigs some of the
early rye as u chnngo of diot. Chop it
fine , and food it sparingly at llrst.
The calf can bo easily taught to drink
from a pail.by using a nipple , and will
cause but little difllciiUy in manage
ment.
All material for building should bo
kept under cover. Boards absorb mois
ture , and swell or shrink according to
circumstances ,
Pure fresh water for stock must bo
the llrst essential from now on. Drinkjj
ing from mud puddles and other filthy
places will cnutju disease.
For vermin on dhoeji use snufl or very
line tobacco. Dipping sheep ia cruel ,
and should never bo practiced except
when all other modes fall.
Klthor red clover alone or clover and
orchard grass are the best to UBO fn
seeding down the orchard. But do not
bo in too much of a hurry to bead down
unless the soil U riuh and in good tilth ,
and the trees Imve madeagoodhealthy
growth.
The poach and plum are nearly
enough related to bo budded and grafted
on oacli other. Tlio plum oniluroH tlio
cold bolter than the peach , and the
liittor fruit grown on plum stocks can
bo inngh more easily protected than
when grown on Ha own.
As a remedy for the attacks of the
coddlinir moth , to bo sprayed on the
trees , a fruit growur recommends tbo
following : Dissolve two ounces of white
arsenic in 100 gallons of water. Then
dissolve a half pound of lye in two gallons
lens of warm u nlor , Ada the lye mix-
tore to the other and spray on llfty
trees , using a no//.lo.
Good. , butter sometimes soils for $1 a

how the butter iu muclo and who huvo

who ourrios and ljrnsu < ? s his cows ,
washes the teats ani iluor before milk-
Ills' , and jirorldei clean hods for his

The bodt way to keep dovfti thistles la
to cut thorn down ns fast ad they appear
nbovo ground. No plant can endure
such treatment , nnd the. thistle is no
exception. They will In tlmo become
exhausted nnd die. The work iftust bo
done tit the proper time , however , nnd
must not bo neglected , as n , single plant ,
if allowed lo grow , will cause extra
work. The thistle must never bo al
lowed to mature seed , nnd If the tops
are kept down the roots will bo given
extra duty and full to spread. Persist
ent warfare , however , is necessary.

An Extra ' ; $ OHslon When ?
Senator William B. Allison contri
butes the following discussion of the
extra session question to the April
number of the North American Ro-
viowi
An extra session of congress In the
beginning of a now administration is
not desirable in the public Interest , un
less u great necessity for It appears.
The chief reason now urged for an ex
tra session of congress lies in the fact
that wo have a largo rovcnuo coming
Into the treasury monthly , and each
month considerably in excess of the
payments authorized by existing appro
priations. Is this surplus such as would
justify an administration in calling an
extra session of congress at the begin
ning of n term , when pressing admin
istrative affairs must bo considered.
It is well known that the appropria
tions for 'tho current fiscal year wore
very largo , and the appropriations for
the fiscal year beginning on the. first of
July next are also largo. If those are ex
pended nnd It is roasonoblo to suppose
that most of thorn will bo , with proba
ble deficiencies in pensions , at least
the apprehended surplus , as- shown by
various treasury reports , and by public
statements made from time to time in
both houses of congress , will bo very
rauoh diminished : " The appropriations
for the current fiscal year are , in round
numbers , say , only $20,000,000 loss than
the estimated revenues for the present
fiscal year , nnd it is not probable that
the actual revenues will exceed the es
timated revenues. The appropriations
made by the session of congress just
closed are , in round numbers , $ SJo,000,000
less than the appropriations for the cur
rent year ; so that it may bo stated that
on the 1st day of July , 1890. the
excess of revenues ever the ex
penditures for the next fiscal year
will bo , in round numbers , S15,000,000t
or against $28,000,000 for the curron ,
fiscal year. It is not probable that the
revenues for the next fiscal year will bo
in excess of the estimates.
Now , of this 845.000,000 surplus , nearly
one-half will ha.v1o-accumuln.tod by Jan
uary 1 , 1890 , so that the problem for the
secretary of the treasury to solve , in
case congress should not bo called in
extra session , will bo how ho can dis
pose of this 823,000,000 of excess. It
can easily bo done cither by the pur
chase of four-and-a-halfs , in anticipa
tion of tholr early nnaturlty in 1891 , or
by the purchase' of. fours , maturing in
1007 ; so that it may bo stated that , so
far as the current' revenues are concerned -
corned , from thisitimo up to and includ
ing the fiscal year 1889-90. it will not bo
n uilllcult thing'to purchase bonds covering -
oring this entire surplus.
The existing .sjurplus , which has
been accumulating for some years ,
now lying in the treasury erin
in the national ' banks , would
'not ' bo affected by legislation , whether
now or at any future time , as any ro-ad-
justmcnt of taxation must take place
with reference to current revenues and
current expenditures , without consider
ing those accumulations. So , in any
event , the overlapping surplus of prior
years should bo , and doubtless will bo ,
used in the purchase of bonds , as there
nro no pressing extraordinary expendi
tures provided for ( or likely to be ) thai
would absorb it.
If an extra session should bo called in
the near future , it would bo impossible
to mature and perfect a tariff measure
during such extra session , and the only
thing possible would bo , by a joint reso
lution , to repeal. foi example , the to
bacco tax , which would relieve the treas
ury of , say , 83,000,000 per annum. This
however , could only bo done with the
consent of both political parties , as any
revenue measure introduced into the
house would bo subject , under its rules ,
to amendment without limitation ; and
when such measure would reach the
senate , it would , in that body , also bo
subject to amendment without limita
tion. Hence a small portion of either
house , in either party , could , if they
were disposed , compel u full considera
tion of tlio whole question ot the tariff
and internal revenue ; and it is not
probable that the house , being so nearly
divided , and the republican party now
having only a small majority , could pass
a revenue measure at an extra session
without a prolonged dpbato upon the
general question , and without the free
exorcise of the power of amendment.
In this view , it would seem to bo
wiser and bettor that the extra
session of congress should bo postponed
until the middle or last of October , when
congress could convene and remain in
continuous session and take up seriously
and earnestly the whole question of the
reduction of taxation by means of n re
duction of internal revenue and a revi
sion of the tar ill' ,
An extra session in October would
give time for the organization of the
house and the committees of the house ,
nnd thus put in course of early prepara
tion these revenue measures , which
could bo considered and completed , under
dor those conditions , by April of next
year. It seems very doubtful whether
any progress colliding mudo by calling
an extra session during the present
spring , and taking the tlsk of a long
session during tlio mimmor , without any
practical result. This debate may bo
fairly anticipated from the fuct that , not
withstanding the gouoral vordlct of the
people at the last election , the demo
cratic party still adheres with llrmnoss
to its original proclamation that the
turill should bo revised upon a revenue
basis , and not Upon the idea that
American industries shall bo cared for
in the preparation. and revision of the
scheduled. Tlio business interests need
not bo alarmed aWthis postponement ,
as It may bo takoi jor granted that the
policy of President Harrison will bo ,
not to hoard mandolin the treasury , butte
to utillzo tlio Hurpluf as far a * it can bo
utillzod. In the pui-cnnso of Iho Intot-
cst-boarlng debt of the United States ,
llrst for the bonds presently maturing ,
and , focondly , for the bonds duo in
1007 ; so that the situation , as rospacts
our revenue nnd the money in the
treasury , under this policy , will not bo
materially changed , whether congress
is convened in the early spring or late
autumn.
A critical examination of the appro
priations for the current fiscal your and
the next year will dlaoloso the fact that
there Is no probability of any future re
duction of the appropriations for the
various purposes indicated. For exam
ple , Iho npproprliitlonB for the current
year for pension : ) were , In round num
ber * , JSl.OOO.OOO ; but just bolero the ad
journment of the labt session a dolicl-
ency of 83,000,000 was asked and appro
priated for pensions. The appropria
tions for the next fiscal year for the like
purpose wore $31,000,000. It Is not Im
probable that the deficiency for the
next year will bo In excess of the $8,000-
000 appropriated for this year. The ap
propriations for the postofllco do-
pnrtmont , owing to the rapid
growth and development of our
country , nro constantly increas
ing , and for the yoara that nro to follow
they will probably bo In excess of the
appropriations for this your and the
next fiscal year.
The appropriations of this year for
the navy tu-o $10.000,000 ; for the next
'
year , $21,000,000 ; but' Ills quite probable
that n deficiency In the naval appro
priations for the next year will bo re
quired to complete the naval vessels al
ready under contract , nnd It Is certain
that the policy of the republican parly
will bo to increase considerably the ap
propriations for the navy next year , In
order that wo may have , nt as early a
dale as possible , an effective navy. So
Itlsprounblo that the appropriations
for f9rtlflcatlons , etc. , will
bo considerably increased next
year. Therefore it may bo
said that our national expenditures In
the future are likely to Increase year
by year rather than to diminish. It Is
certain that next year a river and har
bor bill of considerable magnitude must
bo passed , because during this voar no
'
river and' harbor bill passed. Had Iho
bill passed both houses as reported by
the committee on rivers and nurbors in
the house of representatives , the sur
plus for the next fiscal year would have
boon reduced by $10,000,000 at least ,
bringing it down to less than $40,000- ,
These largo sums which I have in-
dlcalod conslltuto the great Items where
deficiencies may bo expected and In
creased appropriations required in the
future. It Is probable that the smaller
items included in these general appro
priation bills may also bo increased to
the extent of 82,000,000 or $3.000,000.
The contest in the two houses on the
reduction of revenues and the revision
of the tariff in the Fifty-first congress
will bo , as It was in the Fiftieth , a con-
lesl , on the ono hand , for the reduction
of revenues , nnd , with that reduction , n
scaling-down of the tariff to a revenue
basis , and , on the other , n reduction by
such changes and modifications of the
tariff as will reduce the reve
nues and , at the same tlmo , defend
and protect our own industries as
against the sharp competition ofsimi-
lar industries in other countries. Under
the constitution , of course , unv tariff
bill or revenue bill must originate in
the hoUse of representatives , and ,
whilst it may not bo possible to predict
with exactness the line that will bo pur
sued by the republican majority in that
body , it mnyDbo fairly inferred that , in
a general way , with probable modlllca-
tion of detail , the house of representa
tives will follow the plan and method
of , as also the principle involved in , the
senate bill which passed thosouato during
'
ing the last scssio'n of the Fiftieth , con
gress. _ _

Hero is a truthful story for such n ,
skeptic , which ho Is welcome to sift to
the bottom , says n Now York correspon
dent of the Cincinnati Enquirer. . The
person to whom the experience bofol Is
a distant relative of the writer , n
woman of undoubted voracity , of more
than ordinary Intelligence , and of high
character.
I glvo the story as nearly In her own
words as possible.
"It was , " says she in tolling It , "In
the latter part of last year that my ex
perience occurod. I had of course ,
hoard the usual number of ghost stories.
But I was an unbeliever previously to
the oyonts which I am about to rolato.
On November 8 , 1888. I married Mr. S. ,
who , as you know , is my second husband.
For about six weeks wo lived in our
Now York house , on Thirty-fifth street.
But the house my husband had always
considered his homo Is situated at Ilun-
tington , Long Island. It is n fine , largo
old-fashioned house built on the brow of
of a hill overlooking the soundand sur
rounded with oak and fir trees of enor
mous size. It may bo called a family
scat , as It was inherited by my husband
from his grandparents.
"My husband's first wife mot with a
vary tragic fate within site of this houso.
She was a skillful boat-woman , and very
fond of rowing about on the sound some
times allowing her boat to drift out with
the tide and como back on the return
tjdo. Ono day she drifted out on the
lido and was carried further than usual
away from land. Before the tide turned
a violent thunder-storm arose and the
wind blow a gnlc. The poor woman
must have been drowned during this ,
for she never returned , and the small
boat in which she had boon \vas picked
up days after ever a hundred miles
away by a coasting schooner.
This terrible accident occured eight
years n go , and such n thing ns her ghost
returning was never dreamed of during
these years. It was the day before
Christmas last , when , with a party of
friends , wo wont down to Huntington.
The old house had boon elegantly refit
ted , and was the personification of homo
comfort , with its cheerful , old-stylo
wood llros on the wide hearths. Our
party was indeed a jolly ono. There
were two other brides in it beside my
self.
self."The
"The room which my husband and I
occupied was on the second lloor a
largo corner room at the front of the
house overlooking the soilnd , thobright
waters of which glimmered and silvcrod
through the branches of the trees abouj
the house , as ono looked from oUr north
windows.
' Wo had retired on the first night of
our occupancy rather late , and , being
much wearied by fatigues incumbent on
mo , a hostess I soon fell asleep.
"Suddenly I awoke with a start I felt
something cold on my taco I could
scarcely breath , as a deathlike fooling
ran throutrh mo , and scorned to
froczo my blood. It was most
horrible. Opening my eyes I saw
n woman If such an object 03 I
looked upon could bo said to have BOX.
She was exceedingly tall , nnd about her
head hung long wet streams of yellow
hair. Ilnr whole form was lurid with a
kind of phosphorosconso , and her eyes
seemed to blnzo with a greenish ffro ,
About her form hung a long loose wrap
per , which water seemed to drip from ,
onch drop having a green sparkle ns It
fell ; but , most horrible of all , I could
see clear through her body. The moon
wns shining In through the window , and
she was between mo and the moon , and ,
strangely enough , I could see all her
bones Inside of nor body , which seemed
to bu loss transparent than the llosh.
So she scorned n skeleton with a pallor ot
llesh and clothing about her. Slowly
with her horrible bony hands she
stroked my warm llosh , and salt water
Boomud to drip from them as she did BO.
She literally felt mo all ever , and while
she was doing so I lay spellbound with
out the power of speech or motion.
Meanwhile , lohnmy ( husband ) remained
sound asleep.
"At last , she seemingly had satisfied
her curiosity In regard to mo , she
quietly raised up the eqvors and got In
to the bed between us. Her cold
clammy form lay still for u while like
corpse. Then Blio spoke : 'Johtil1 at the
same tlmo taking his hand in hor's.
My husband awoke nnd only looked tit
her a second whon. with a wild shriek
ho leaped from tlio bed and found a
match. Meanwhile I still lay there In
the bod. So did the woman or ghost.
When the light was lltn loud crash was
hoard. The ghost was gene in an in
stant. On looking around the whole
snsh was broken bodily out of the north
window , the window toward the sound ,
and a weird , wailing wind cnmo whist
ling into the room. The nolso had
aroused the house , and before long our
guests and servants were in the room
with us. On hearing the strange story
they were greatly surprised. My hus
band recognized the ghost as that of
his drowned wifo.
"To satisfy our guests wo up all
together in the room next night , and at
about the snmo time the same horriblu
spooler rolurnod , this tlmo only staying
11 few minutes , but long enough to scare
ono of our young ladles Into a dead
faint.
"Wo all loft the house soonaftor , and
since that time the strange phantom has
been been in the same room a number of
times. She has also boon seen walking
about the grounds always dressed in
the ssimo manner as I have descried and
looking the samo.
' Had I not soon this with my own
eyes nnd had others present to witncsa
it , I should never have believed so re
markably a freak of nature possible. "
There scoins every reason to bollovo
that Mrs. S. tollethis story with the ut
most belief of its truth.
