She had many womanly qualities and Christian virtues , which were con stantly and cheerfully exercised by her rn making those about her happ'.er and better. Home life was to her the hap piest sphere of action , and its duties the most sacred of nil. Though cling ing fondly to life her faith in the future had but "otic passing cloud of doubt. That was the maternal anxiety for the wjifareofthe bright baby boy , inno cently unconscious of the great loss that was his.

Yesterday tbey were baffled in their iittempt to obtain this ! u formation , by the refusal of the prin cipal witnesses to answer important ques tions.

He said , however , that ho woull accept service of the subfccnu for the company and endeavor to call a meeting of ibo executive committee so us to eel the stock book. There seems to be nothing for the commis sioners to do but uwuit the plea.uro of Ibo company and its executive committee. A\ . H. lirltjston. president of the defendant rail road companies , and F.

No important in formation was elicited from either witness and the commissioners temporarily aban doned the investigation of the case. At the afternoon session the first cnso called , vas the complaint against the Grand Trunk , East Suglnaw & Michigan and the Wabash roads , charged with having given lower trade rates than those stated in the tariff sheets to foreign and domestic paints. The first witness called to testify with re gard to the. alteration ivas Uavid Brown , freight agent oi the Chicago ifc Grand Trunk. Chairman Vcasey stated the charee nnd asked if It were true.

"Why do you decline * " asked Chairman "Because J might become a party to a prosecution in connection with a violation of the interstate commerce act , " replied the witness.

Sutnuer Hopkins , freight agent of tbe \Yabash , next took tbe 'wiuiess stand. His ottoruey stated that ho udvised his client to refuse to answer the eomuassion's ques tions , because ho believed the commission hud no Jurisdiction to institute such an inquiry. Mr. Hopkins declined to answer every one of the questions put to Mr. Brown. H. H.Valler , agent of the Lehlgh Valley Despatch , followed with a line refusal. After Chairman Veasey had finished his unsuccessful examination end ho and nis follow commissioners coamlted District At torney Milchrist , the risult may he tomorrow that the three railroaders may find them selves in contempt.

Winchester rifle ? , re volvers , policemen's clubs and uniforms nro stored here and acceptable appli cants are equipped. There is always on hand , kept available for emergencies , a well drilled corps of from 1-W to 200 men. When a man is accepted ho is told off and instructed upon the duties lie will have to perform. An experienced oi > crn- live , usually nn old and experienced do- tocllve , is placed in charge of ttie squad and he puts them through u few O\OTU- lions , "tiHicient to ground them in the rulcsof inarching nnd maintaining a solid rent Military tnt-tifs nro not carried to fhe extent they are In the metropolitan police , but n new man must iicauire the fundamental principles. When the re quired number of men hare been secured the name ! , of the other applicant * , if they have answered the questions satis factorily , are taken for future call. By that means , when demand i ? made on the Pinkcrtont- tin extra force , they got the men by sending in the addresses of thee who were told that they would get places when vacancies shojl'd arise. WHAT THIY AIM : TAID. The shrewd and alert "Billy/ " ' and "Bob" Pinkcrton understand human nature , especially that kind represented by nn unorganized mob and n senseless rabble. 'J hey rest on tlic old coinnoii law doctrine of principal and agent , and the richt of a man to defend his own property. Legislation has not fright- cr.cd them , because they know that the ' corporations which ordi'niirilv ask their services will fight their battles for them. And the corporations are licensed to engage police aid. It is risky work that the Pinkerton - ton soldiers have to undertake , as tbo Homestead affair shows. Their pny may or may not be com mons urLte. Trie Pinkcrtons never work on contingencies. The offers of reward never attract them. They won't work for rewards. Their operatives are paid by the day. according to circumstances. On a detective cae the price is usttlly f 10 a day forjeach detective and ex penses. In instances like the Pennsyl vania riot the price is an average of SS a day , of which the man gets half. The Pmkertons furnish the outfits of the men , but the firm employing them must contribute the board. With S0 ; > men ut Homestead the expense of keeping such a force of Pinkerton janizaries on guard for any length of time is seen to be con siderable , even for a man like Andrew Carnegie. THK CEXTIIAL STRIKE. The great strike on the New York Central , which cost the Vanderbilt cor poration something like S2.000.000 , is estimated to have cost for Pinkerton service alone about J 1-5,000. The Pinker- tons had a horde of men all along the line , but concentrated the largest part of their force ut Albany. For a time there were conflicts between the Piukerton guards , the strikers nnd citizens nearly every day. The raw recruits , armed with Winchesters , tried to frighten the btrikei-s and their sympathizers by flour ishing their ritios and when a demonstration was raide ; with stones the Pinkenons would shoot. They succeeded in killing one young man and several others were wounded on various occ.aRionn. On Au gust 17 , 180 ! , they shot five persons , one of them a woman. There were several fcupnll riots in East Albany , in which the Pinkertons were alleged to be the ones to commit the first overt net Several of the operatives were arrested nnd pun ished with n fine and imprisonment. At Syracuse also there were conflicts , but no one was killed. In fact , at the critical spots along the New Yorit Central reid : where there were Pinkerton guards there WHS troubla It was the recur rence of these conflicts , probat-ly , that brought about the anti-Pinkerton bill in Albany last winter. ITJ1UC SYMPATHY AGAINST THEM. The Pinkertons bavo lost men under circumstances that induced the fcvrn- puthy ol the public. For example no less than five of their detectives were killed in Missouri in pursuit of the James gang. The killing of a Pinkerton - ton man by outlaws has always caused i-figret in tbe public mind , but the oc- currelices in later years have more than offset that feelinu , if the expressions from eveiy part of the country where strikers and Pinkeaton men hiivo met may be regarded as significant. A notable instance of wantonness on tl > e part of hired guards was the lulling of a boy in Jei ey during the 'loigshc.'re- ' men'fe strike along the coal dock- , about live years ago. In Chicago during the Lake Shore railroad btriUo a man named Bagley was killed by a Pinkerton - ton oflicer. Another firm of detectives was employed to find the guard who did the shooting , but ho had been spirited away and his identity effectually con cealed. There have boon few strikes in the coal regions cast , west or bouth , where this agency for supplying impromptu soldierb lias not been represented. The famous strikes in the Hoi-king Valley , at the Frick Standard Mines in Penn sylvania near Morewood. at Braidwood , 111. , and indeed at ull the great strikes where trouble with the strikers was ap prehended Pinkertons with glittering Winchesters mounted guard. In all the great railroad t-trikes - tince the world- famous one of 1S77 the Pinkertons' serv ices were called in. Originally fatal conflicts between them and the strikers were extremely rare , but the growing hatred of organized labor to this organ ized and. to it largo extent , irresponsible constabulary has rendered inevitable n clash whenever the two met nb adversa ries. ries.Tho fignt against the agency was first taken to congress bv exongreissman John Quinn , of New York city. Nothing was u.'complished and the' next year Congressman Thomas Watson of Ala bama renewed the battle. Mr. Watson is a farmers alliance man und ho WHS very bitter against the Pinkertons. Ho introduced a resolution calling for an in quiry into the methods nnd workings of the PinkertonF , which was referred to the judiciary committee. He buid ut the time of the introduction : "Our standing nrmv is only 80.000 strong , yet the Pinkertons practically have a standing iirmv of 35.UM men , well nrraed arid equfppod , 6,000 more than the United States. " Mr. WaUon insisted that it was not only illegal for pnvule individuals to maintain n standing nrmy to usurp tne police powers of the t.tates/but it wub also un-American.
