The great Ro, strike in New York city is over, After a bard struggle of eight days the Knights of Labor gave up the fight and the companies scored a victory, but a very costly one, Seeing that matters were going against them, the Executive Board of Division No, 1, of National District Assembly No, 220, called meetings of al local as- somblies to decide as to whether the strike should be continued or not The meetings were called for nine o'clock and delegates from the locals to the District As- | sembly, as soon as a vote was reached, hur- | ried to the headquarters of the Executive | Board, at Forty-fourth street and Ninth avenue, and announced the result, Master Workman James H.

Snyder of the Eldridge street station was on the platform acting as police escort The men in the crowd had laid in a big supply of stones, and began showering them on the car. The windows were smashed and one of the passengers was struck on the neck by a stone. Three ladies, who were riding in the car, ran out, terror-stricken, Several stones whizzed past Officer Snyder's bead. and he drew his revolver and fired two shots in the air. While be was shooting he was hit in the face with a piece of brick. This promiscuous shooting did not frighten the rioters, They kept on throwing stones and threatened to overturn the car. Fore- most among them was a brawny fellow, James McGowan, a striking stableman of the Belt Line Company. As he spproached the car, with a Lrick in hand, Officer Snyder saw him and warned him back. The fellow raised the brick: “If you throw that,” cried the officer, “I'll shoot you." McGowan did not hesitate, but threw the brick, entting a fearful gash in Snyders face. Snyder was nearly stunned. Thers was a flash, a report, and McGowan dropped to the ground The bullet from Othcer Snyder's revolver bad passed clean through MeGowan's head, This tragedy appalled the rioters, and ina minute they scattered and disappeared. stopped street A Scene in the Sew York Senate.

I'he funeral of Mrs, Daniel Zimmerman an insane old lady of Berne, Penn., who was chained for many years, has just taken place, and thero was a great outpouring of the peo- Io of the neighborhood to look upon the eatures of one whom death has released from such a long imprisonment, It appears that she was oiginy-touy years of age at the time of her death, and bad been insane for thirty-five years, during most of which time she bad been chained. An iron band, made by a blacksmith, was placed around one of her lower limbs and fastened by a chain toa ring in the floor. The rootn in whichsbe was confined was in the house where the rest of the ramily lived, Notwithstanding her confinement and the violence of her manincal frenzy for many years she was at the time of her death Cok ig the oldest persons in the meighbor- hood, Mrs Zimmermann in her fits of fren would frequently break her chains, thoug they had been previously tested by horses.

During her brief lucid intervals she was able to recite the whole of the church eathechism, all of the Psalms and nearly all of the New Testament. SATLORS ENGULFED, Fifty-two Men Perish in a Collision off Beachy Head, England, The three masted fron steamer Glencoe, bound from Liverpool for London, collided off Beachy Head, England, with the British bark Largo Bay.

The suddenness of the shock dazed the crow of the bark. They saw nothing further of the steamer, but could make out ber crew struggling in the water It was, however, impossible to render them any assistance, all of the Largo Bay s boats being smashed, The wind blew with such force that the sails of the bark were torn to shreds snd a boy was carried overboard MAMMOTH FOX HUNT. More Than 8000 People Take Part in One in Hinols The most successful fox bunt ever held in Iilino's took place in Pike County a few days since.

Hot Bed Heated by Hot Water Those who find it dilcult to obtain manure for their hot bed, can in various ways obtain the heat by hot water. For example, they can erect their beds por mavently with brick sides, and have them in all respects the same as miniature greenhouses, The following is the simplest method we know of, and any ingenious work man can put it together jt is the method used by a Milwaukee amateur, a8 given by a correspondent the Amervan Flora “The bed is situated north of the house, snd is forty feet long by four in width: the basement of house is heated Ly a coal stove. this stove he made a small coil of gas pipe, which he can put in or take out as easily as he would a tea kettle. From this coil he ran twoanch pipes under the ground, well covered, to the hot bed, and then branched each pipe into two, running them the whole length of the bed, and connected them at the upper end, where he placed an expansion tank, consisting of a common wooden pail It is simply a perfect hot water system on a small scale, consisting of two flows and two return pipes, all one inch These pipes are ol sunk one foot deep In the fail the sashes were put on, and thea it was left to freeze, the pipes, of course, being empty.
