AA ORCA Remmi ———————" bs TD St LONDON'S LABOR TROUBLES, -—————— Business Paralyzed Because 75,000 Workmen Strike. | A cablegram from London gives the fol lowing particulars in regard to the strikes now in progress there: London is an inland town, and promises to remain such for some time to come. All communication with the rest of the worli by water is as completely cut off as though the Thames had dried up. The great ships lying at the docks can neither load nor discharge their cargoes, and the im- mense traffic of t test commercial city of the world lies at the mercy of men com- mercially rated at $1.00 a day. The strike and its co uences touch eveyy man, woman and child in this t city. No meat is arriving in London. The markets in Mark Lane are paralyzed, and maize ad- vanced §1.25 the quarter for immediate use, The strike which was begun by the dock laborers, and which subsequently spread to the carmen, has now extended to the talk of compelling laborers in all the trades to quit work and fc the number of unemployed. The men were orderly. The shipping business is completely para- | lyzed, and mail steamers are leaving without cargos. The tinplaters at Berindadsoy, a LOTS. suburb of London, have joined the stri In Rotherhithe, the shipbuilding district of | London, processions of strikers are march- continually. ight thousand sailors and firemen and | 2500 dockmen at Isle of Dogs, where several large docks are located, have gone out. The pro Wen became apprehensive of trouble, and held the military in readiness to suppress an outbreak should it occur. The coal porters at King's Cross have also joined in the strike. : In consequence of the strike thousands of tons of mutton are rotting, it being impossi- | ble to find men to handle the stock. All classes of workingmen are dissatisfied, and there is no telling where the strike will not extend to. 75,000 men are on strike now, HIS OWN FUNERAL PYRE. Paradise, N. J., Excited Over a Hor- ' rible Tragedy. The town of Paradise, near the Blue Moun- tains, in New Jersay, has been the scene of a dreadful tragd@’. which has excited the hor ror of the country people for many miles around. Philip Heinickle, a well-to-do German far- mer, has for some time past made threats that he would burn the town, but little heed was paid to him, as it was not believed he would carry out his threat The other day he went to his large barn, in which was stored all the summer harvest, so that it was filled to bursting, and kindled & fire at the four corners. The barn was soon binzing and roaring, while the flames and smoke miles around. Some of his neighbors wanted to put out the fire, but with a gesture he refused thelr aid, and they could do nothing but stand idly gazing at a distance, f8r the flames were so tense that a close view of the fire was un- comfortable. Suddenly they were horrified at seeing Heinickle deliberately throw himself into the flames when they wore at their height. Nothing could be done to prevent his terrible act, as no one was near enough to him at the time When the flames went down and the em- bers had cooled so that a search among the ruins was possible, his charred and half- consumed body was found among the embers several hours later. nism — WHEAT GOES UP IN SMOKE, Ten Thousand Tons Burned at Port Costa, Cal. One of the McNear wheat warehouses ai Port Costa, in California, with about 10.000 tons of wheat, has been destroyed by fire, as well as forty-two cars belonging to the Southern Pacific. The total loss is estimated at $700,000, The fire was discovered by the night watch. man of the warehouse in which the flames broke out. He said the whole end of the building was in flames before he detested anything wrong. An alarm was sent out, but few firemen could be had and no tugs were at hand. As the wind was from off shore it was seen at once that the American ship Armenia and the British ships Honauwar and Kenilworth wouid go also unless they could get clear of the wharf. There were only four men on each, and they could not manage the large vessels in time.
