A WEECK AT CINCINNATI.
The Yestibuled Train Runs Into an
Accommodation,
A FIRE IKSTAKTLT BREAKS OUT,
And at Least a Half Dozen Persons Are
Earned to Death.
HAN OTHERS TRI SEEIOUSLI HUET
A vestibuled train on the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton road last evening ran
into an accommodation train at Glendale, a
Cincinnati suburb. The deadly stove set
fire to the wreck, and at least four persons
wen burned to death. A nnmber of others
were injured. Two or three are expected
to die.
rSFZClAX. Tr LEG RAM TO TITS DIKrATCH.l
Cxxcixkaxi, January 17. The Cincin
ati, Hamilton and Dayton Past Line vesti
buled train, bound for Chicago, ran into the
Glendale Accommodation, at Winton Place,
at 7:10 o'clock to-night, and the result, so far
u can now be ascertained, is a half dozen
lives lost and a score or so wounded. The
Glendale Accommodation had just stopped
to allow "Winton Place commuters to stop
off, when the vestibuled train, running 60
miles an hour, plunged into the rear of the
accommodation with terrific force.
The rear car on the accommodation was an
express car,and this alone saved at least two
score lives. The big engine on the fast line
plowed halfway through the baggage car,
frightfully wounding the baggagemaster,
Bob Stevenson who has since died and
bis assistant, and also both the fireman and
engineer.
THE USUAL FIBE BESULTS.
A red-hot stove in the baggage car was
overturned and the car took fire. The
flames seemed to instantly communicate
with the two coaches immediately in front,
and before aid could come, they too, with
possibly six people, who were wedged in by
broken seats, were burned. The vestibuled
engine burst a steam pipe, and a clond of
vapor covered the burning cars, from which
came the most agonizing cries for help.
Word was at once sent to this city, and
two fire engines and a patrol wagon went to
the assistance of the "Winton Place Volun
teer Fire Company, which was doing all it
could to stay the flames.
Some 80 people were gotten out of the two
burning coaches, nearly all of whom were
hurt to some extent, but only about a dozen
seriousU. These were laid on the station
platform, while the one doctor piesent did
all be could to alleviate the sufferings. All
the while, from the blazing cars, came the
awful cries of the doomed wretches who
screeched in their agony, begging those who
stood about to kill them and end their
misery.
FOUE BODIES BECOTEBED.
The number thus imprisoned and roasted
to death is not yet known and will not be
for some time, but already four dead have
been taken from the ashes of the coach near
est the baggage car, tbe only one fully iden
tified being Mr. John "Wilson, Superin
tendent of the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company of this city.
By this time an extra had arrived from
town and the wonnded were taken aboard.
Bob Stevenson, the baggage master, expired
before he reached the city and Engineer
"Williams is dying.
The news of the accident spread fast, and
soon hundreds were on the spot, coming
from all directions. "Women screawec and
fainted, and men, acting like maniacs,
rushed about, adding confusion to a scene
already complicated by lack of sufficient
trained help. The burning coaches had
rolled into a ditch, where they blazed and
sputtered, while the smell of roasting hu
man flesh stagnated the air, and the screams
of the dying grew feebler and feebler.
Glendale is one of the most aristocratic of
Cincinnati's suburbs, and the people aboard
the accommodation were largely prominent
business men going home after a day of
labor. "When the news reached Glendale it
spread like wildfire, and a yard engine and
several cars there were pressed into service
to carry anxious people to the wreck. Their
arrival added to the excitement, as with
cries of hope and fear they sought for loved
ones.
THE FLAMES EXTINGUISHED.
By this time a poition of the Cincinnati
fire department and a detachment of police
and surgeons had arrived and took charge.
"With their arrival began the cooling of the
embers that had so lately been cars, and the
search for the dead. It was a trying ordeal.
"When the search of the first car had been
completed, lour human bodies, burned al
most ont of shape, had been found. The
search of the second car is in progress.
It ishought that six or eight dead
are in it, as twice that many are missing
though doubtless some have escaped and
are in the crowd that hangs about the dread
ful scene.
General Superintendent Neilson, of the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton, just
returned from the wreck, says so far only
four bodies have been recovered, and he
thinks that Is all, but there may be one or
two more. Of the nine wounded, two or
three will probably die.
CAUSE OF THE WBECK.
A press dispatch says: Mr. Keilson says
oi the accident that it happened just north
or the College Hill crossing. Chicago
vestibuled train 31, drawn by the large
Strong engine No. 1 and accommodation
train 77, collided shortly after 7 o'clock this
evening. The block system is nsed there,
and it is supposed that No. 77 was not out
of her block when No. 31 entered it.
"When No. 31 struck the accommodation
train it smashed the two rear coaches, killed
Conductor Copeley and an unknown brake
man of the vestibuled train. Both engi
neer and fireman of No. 31 jumped, alter
applying the air brakes and reversing their
engine. Both weie hurt, bnt are now rest
ing easy.
Two of those injured in the wrect died
st midnight here in the hospital. Their

names are John Staley, 49 years old, of Car
thage, O., terribly burned about the face
and arms, and "William Klamitz, also of
Carthage, a plumber, aged 19, 6calp wound
and burned hands and arms.
XX OPBBATOE'S MISTAKE.
No. 31 was the Chicago vestibuled train,
of a baggage car and three coaches, all the
cars extremely long. No. 31 was due here
at 7:10, only five minutes later than No.
77. No. 77, at the time of the accident,
which was at 15:58, Central time, was five
minutes behind time on account of time lost
by a previous train. Both 77 and 31 were in
the same block, which is in violation of
running orders. Superintendent Nelson
says this was on account of the operator at
Carthage giving No. 31 the wrong signal
that is, according to his best information at
the present moment.
No. 77, the" accommodation, had stopped
at "Winton Place, and had just pulled out
and rounded a curve when 31 came thun
dering past. Side tracks at that place ob
scured the engineer's view till he got with
in 200 yards or less of the train in front. He
reversed the engine, turned on the air
brakes and jumped. His was the Strong en
gine No. 1. Mr. Strong, the mannfacturer,
keeps an engineer with that engine all the
time, but he never turns a throttle. Picked
engineers in tbe employ of the road do that.
This'extra engineer did not jump. He sat
like a statue on his seat, and was not hurt,
not even scratched.
jJIIBACULOUS ESCAPES.
Not a passenger and not a car on 31 was
hurt. In train No. 77 were 30 passengers,
nearly all in the front car. AH who were
killed or injured were in the rear car, which
was a combination baggage and smoker.
The blow of Train 31 smashed this car ana
piled up the next two in front of it, in a
common wreck, and the two rear cars
burned up.
Superintendent Neilson says he has been
in the business 21 years, and this is the first
case of death from accident under his super
vision. It was only at midnight that passen
gers from the wreck arrived at Cincinnati.

Eocefof.d, III., January 17. In the
spring of 1879 Albert Harter, then a young
man of 23, appeared in the town of 'Winne
bago. It soon became known that he was
the son of a wealthy Pennsylvanian, and
bad had some trouble with his father, which
had resulted in the young man coming West
to seek his fortune. He worked on a farm
near "Winnebago for a year, when he ob
tained employment in a lumber yard in the
village. Soon after he was married to Miss
Alice Potter, the daughter of an old citizen
of the place. The young conple lived hap
pily together until about the first of last De
cember, when Harter suddenly disappeared.
His wife was almost heartbroken, thinking
he had met with fonl play.
A few days after Barter's disappearance
information came from his Pennsylvania
home to the effect that he had inherited a
fortune of $500,000 through the death of his
father. Mrs. Harter, who has been mourn
ing her husband as dead, has just received
a letter from him from Prackville, Pa. He
says he is heir to the estate and will
claim it, and asks his wife to join him
there. The letter says nothing abont his
sadden disappearance and oners no ex

which embraces nearly all the railroad men
on the Vanderbilt system, and of the Steam
Railroad Men's Protective Union of North
America, met here to-night and signed ar

its 27,000 men, comes into the Federation,
thus forming an organization of all railroad
employes except the Brotherhood of Loco

to the Pacific end of the Yanderbilt system
at San Francisco.
Efforts have been made for some time to
amalgamate the two organizations, so as to
be in a position to control the two great
Western routes in case of tronble
between the railway corporations and
their men. The Federation of Bailway
Employes has long had control of the
Yanderbilt system, and embraces several
brotherhoods ot conductors, brakemen,

The Steam Eailroad Men's Protective Union
is very strong in New England.
The meeting was held in K. of L. Hall,

TDMELING THE EAST KIYER.
Formation of a Company to Experiment on a
Sapid Transit System.
tSFECIAt. TELEOBAM TO THS DISPATCH.!
New Yoek, January 17. A company
has been formed in "Wall street recently for
the constrnction of a two-track railway
tnnnel under the East river, between a
point near the foot of Broadway, Brooklyn,
and Broome street, New York. Tbe com
pany is to be known as the East Biver Bail
way Company. To-day the company en
tered into a contract with the Henning
Gravity Tunnel Company, by which it
secured the patents of the Henning Com
pany for rapid transit The railway also
contracted to build -. tunnel upon the Hen
ning principle in two years.
The company was incorporated last Tues
day, with a capital of $100,000. It has or
ganized by electing Benjamin S. Henning
President, and George S. Morrison consult
ing Engineer. Civil Engineer O. H. P.
Cornell will make the surveys next month.
Major B. S. Henning, the leading spirit in
both companies, was formerly President oi
the Florid Navigation Company. In re
gard to his gravity system, he said to-day,to
a Dispatch reporter:
Tbe system consists simply of a tunnel with
sharp inclines at each end. A car or train de
scending tbe incline at one end gets momentum
Boougo to carry it across ine level portion
of
tbe tunnel, and to a point on the opposite in
cline, wher it connects automatically w
cable which carries it np to the station.

The
speed and time required for tbe crossing is

make tbe trip under tho river in a minute. My
system is patented. We start with a small
capital because we may find tbe bd of the
river sneb that a tunnel would be impossible.
We shall first bore through from four to ten
test boles, at a depth of.150 feet, and see of
what the bed of the river is constructed. We

Some Very Contradictory Testimony as to

Memphis, January 17. The argument in
the election case of the Government versus
Carpenter et al, was concluded to-day by
Judge Murray, and Judge Hammond will
deliver his charge to the jury to-morrow
morning. This case is an important one, as
in all probability tbe continuance of the
other numerous prosecutions of a similar
nature will depend on " the verdict of this
jury. The chief testimony in the case is
that of 117 negroes, that they voted tickets
obtained from one John C. Beaves, who
testified that the tickets were Bepublican
ones. The poll books, however, showed
only 43 Bepublican votes cast.
N. S. Haddington, Bepublican Super
visor, testified that the ballot box was
changed by the officers of the election, but
on the night of the election certified that the
connt was correct. All four of the defend
ants stated that no fraud had been com
mitted, and their statements were corrobor
ated by from three to five disinterested
parties who -were in a position to know
whereof they spoke.

arrested to-day by Chief Detective Grannan,
of the Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad. "The

freight cars in this section, and though only
21 years of age, has been most successful in
his burglarious enterprises. He was spotted
by the detectives last Saturday, but suc

Patapsco river, a very difficult task. Others
of bis pals were captured.
To-day "The Kid" returned, disguised as
an old man, but Chief Grannan recognized
him, notwithstanding the heavy gray mus

The body of "W. O. Eogers, of Drexel,

London hotel for three weeks after his death.
The most skillful care was necessary to
avoid detection by the gnests. A Bepub
lican manifesto has been issued at Lisbon,
and mobs are parading the streets, denounc
ing England. Salisbury's correspondence
concerning the trouble has not been made
public.
BY DUNIAP'S CABLE COM PANT.
London, January 17. A mild sensation
is promised concerning the deaths of some
Americans here. Facts have just leaked out
that indicate several peculiar circumstances
surrounding" the demise of W. C. Bogers, a
partner of Drexel, Morgan & Co., of New
York. Mr. Bogers arrived in London toward
the last of June, and within ten days he was
I taken ill with pneumonia, and on July 1 he
died.
At the time of his death he was stopping
at Browne's Hotel, a fashionable private
resort on Dover street. At once upon the
'death Proprietor Ford, ot the hotel;, notified
Mr. J. S. Morgan, who was in London, and
at the same time informed him that the de
ceased has no relatives in England. Mr.
Morgan, in his reply, advised Mr. Ford to
to cable to America and ask instructions.
IN A QUANDARY.
This was done, and before the day was
over a response directed him to have the
body embalmed, and hold it pending the
arrival of a relative who would sail at once
for the purpose of taking the body back to
New York with him. The proprietor was
in quandary. It was the height of the sea
son, his hotel was crowded and he realized
the prejudice that exists against having
a corpse in tbe house.
On the other hand, he had received other
cables from America following the first in
struction imploring him not to send the re
mains to burial. Ford had his sympathies
aroused by these appeals, and determined to
Keep tbe remains on the premises. This
resolution was unknown to every one ex
cepting his brother and the porter, a trusted
servant who was an ex-sergeant of the
Guards. A coffin was brought in, and at
the same time a large packing case marked
"Glass, with care," containing a second
coffin.
THE PLAIT ADOPTED.
Late at night the first coffin, supposed to
hold the body of the dead man, was carried
out the side door and reverently lifted into
an undertaker's wagon. The removal was
witnessed by all the servants of the hotel
and by many of the guests. The next day
those 'who bad not seen it were informed,
and a gruesome-sigh, went np from the.
entire house at the relief. As may be im
agined the corpse was hidden in the packing
case, and in the silence of the night- when
all the guests and employes had gone to
their beds Ford, his brother and the porter
took the body from the box and transferred
it to Ford's bedroom, locked the door and
left it there safe from disoovery.
The balance of that night Ford paced up
and down the corirdor, fearful that someone
by some means or for some purpose might
learn the presence of that revolting guest.
The next morning a stranger, represented to
be an attorney, called at the hotel with the
avowed purpose of examining the papers of
the deceased. In reality he was an em
balmer, and he labored over the body-so
successfully as to leave it with almost every
appearance of life.
FAITHFUL TO THE TASK.
Tor20 nights regularly one of the brothers
arose in the middle of the night when there
was no chance of being detected, crept to the
forbidding chamber and sprinkled disinfec
tants on the corpse, bnrnt incense and aired
the apartment. Finally the relatives ar
rived from New York and put up at another
hotel, nor did thev 'permit even their pres
ence in the city to be known to the guests of
Browne's. The same night of their arrival
a large packing case marked "baggage" was
hurried down to the steamer wharf, and the
body of Bogers was soon beneath the hatches.
So secretly was the entire matter kept and
so well was it bandied until this publica
tion neither member of the staff nor guest of
the house has had or now has an intimation
of it, although the brothers have not yet
fully recovered from the eflect of that awtnl
three weeks' strain. Before giving tbis
story to the public, a reporter called on Mr.
Ford this evening, and while declining to
talk of tbe matter at all, he said that it was
true in every particular as here narrated.

published an unsigned manifesto headed
"The Directory of the Portuguese Bepub

cates the Bepublican federation of the Latin
nations and the adhesion of Portugal to
such federation. It declares that the move
ment for a federation of Latin republics is
steadily making great progress, and that the
force of that movement is seen and felt in
the revolution in Brazil.
The manifesto does not advocate a revo
lution in Portugal at the present moment,
and is moderate in tone throughout, except
as to tbe denunciation of England's action.
All tbe paperijBepublican as well as others,
advise prudence and moderation in the

to have opened the eyes of the men of the
country to tbe folly and danger of that way

A cable from London says: The Portu-

BT BUNLAP'S CABLE COMPANTJ
London, January 17. A new complex
ion has been put upon the Cleveland street
affair and considerable excitement is created
here by the newest exposure. Hammond,
the fugitive landlord, it is now claimed, was
only the head of a vast blackmailing
organization created upon the same lines
as that in Gaboriou's "Clique of Gold."
The scheme was to inveigle well
known men into the honse upon any plaus
ible excuse, and while there bring them into
the presence of accomplices who afterward
posed as witnesses. The names of these
prominent men were entered in a volume
and this volume is now in the hands of the
police.
These men, thns once entrapped and con
fronted with a statement as to the character
of the house and the knowledge of suborned
witnesses, permitted themselves to be
regularly blackmailed rather than take the
risk of public scandal, however false. These
facts are now credited by the police and
being rapidly verified. It is reported that
Saul, the loathsome witness against Euston,
is to be arrested. The penalty ior his offense
is 20 years.

NO PARTISAN BILL CAN BE PASSED
Until the Vacant Seats Hare Been Filled by Special
Elections,
The influenza epidemic is working havoc
in the Ohio Legislature. The death of
Senator Ashburn yesterday is the third int
the last ten days. The Democrats have not
now a quorum in either branches of tbe
General Assembly. All bnt routine legis
lation must therefore be postponed.
rSFECIAL TSLIQBAlt TO TUX DISPATCH.!
C0Li7MBr;sr January 17. "When the
General Assembly of Ohio convened on the
first Monday in January it had a Demo
cratic majority of eight on joint ballot, and
what was considered by all a working ma
jority in each branch. To-daytbe Democrats
cannot muster a quorum of their own party
in either house for any purpose, and no bill
of any description can be passed without
the consent of the minority. Tbis, of course,
blocks all partisan legislation.
Three of the 79 members elected as Demo
crats have died within the last ten days, and
several more are ill, at least two being in a
very critical condition. The first death was
that of Bepresentative Knappe, which oc
curred on the morning of Jannary 8. He
represented the Paulding-Defiance district,
which has a strong Democratic majority,
and a successor of that political faith will
undoubtedly be elected in his place. In the
meantime, However, his loss will be severely
felt.
IDE DEMOCRATIC DANGEB.
Bepresentative Lawler, of Franklin
county, who died yesterday, was one of the
Democratic leaders in the last Legislature,
and bis demise will be a serious inconve
nience to to the party, even beyond the tem
porary loss of his vote. Franklin county,
which inclndes the city of Columbus, is al
ways considered fighting ground, though
the Democrats usually obtain the advantage.
It is not yet known whether the Republicans
will make a contest in the selection of Law
ler's successor, but if they decide to do so
the result will be watched with interest.
But the climax came to-day, when the
death of State Senator Ashburn, ot the
Clermont district, was announced. Mr.
Ashburn has been ill bnt a lew days, and
his sudden end was almost entirely unex
pected by his fellow-members. His death
leaves the Democrats helpless In the Senate.
They had a majority of two, bnt needed
every member to insure a quorum or pass a
bill which had a solid Bepublican opposi
tion. Senator Howells, of the Stark-Carroll
district, who was carried in a chair to
vote lor Bnce, is still a very sick man, and,
to say the least, will not take part in the
legislative proceedings for some time in the
future. The district represented by Mr.
Howells nearly always goes Bepublican,
and was only carried by the opposition this
time by thepersonal popularity of the candi
date. SAME STATE OP AFFAIE3.
In the House of Bepresentatives the Dem
ocrats elected 60 members, six more than
the Bepublicans, but it requires 68 to make
a quorum. The two deaths left just that
number, but that is not the end. Bepre
sentative Brown, of HancocK county, a
Democrat, has been seriously ill with con
sumption and bowel disease ever since he
has been here. The only occasion on which
he has been able to be present.was when the
House voted for United StatesSenator. He
had to be carried in, and he manifested
symptoms of suffering terrible agony. To
day he was taken to his home, Findlay, in a
condition so dangerous that it will be al
most miraculous if he is ever able to return.
News of his death would not be received
with surprise here.
Hancock county is "close," but it is now
really Republican. Harrison carried it by
vo, and uampDeu carried it by 74, bnt all tbe
rest of the Bepnblican State ticket went
throngh by abont 60. Mr. Brown beine
very popularran ahead of Campbell. Should,
in the contingency of Mr. Brown's death, a
Bepublican be elected as his successort then
the Democrats would have only one majority
in tbe House. Two other Democratic Bepre
sentatives, Yoho, of Monroe, and Dill, of
Fairfield, are on sick leave, and half a dozen
others have gone home indisposed without
having taken the trouble of applying for
leave of absence.
A PEODLIAE FEATUBE.
One strange feature is that each of the
three Democrats who died, as well as all
those who are seriously ill, were supporters
of Brice for the Senatorial nomination.
Knappe canvassed the State in his behalf.
In fact, some persons believe that his work
and exposure in this effort were almost tbe
direct causes of his death. Senator Ash
burn had been credited to the McMahon
column, but came out strongly for Brice on
the day of the caucus. Lawlor was already on
bis deathbed ,when the Legislature con
vened, but it is stated on good authority
that he would have voted for the successful
candidate. The enthusiasm of Howells and
Brown for Brice may be judged from the
fact that they were both carried in chairs to
the legislative halls upon the important oc
casion. Another coincidence is that all
three deaths were caused by complications
of influenza.
Another trouble to the Democrats, grow
ing out of the difficulty of getting a party
quorum in either House, is in regard to the
scheme to depose Lieutenant Governor
Lampson and connt in Marquis. This
even, while it will undoubtedly be delayed
by the recent occurrences, is almost certain
to take place eventually. The Congressional
redistricting scheme will also be necessarily
postponed indefinitely.
It has jnst been discovered that Lot Smith,
who bolted Brice, was himself at one time,
many years ago, the Democratic compli
mentary nominee ior Senator, at a time when
the Bepublicans were in the majority in the
Legislature.

Clemens Dialler Says His Proposal to QIIss
Cammerer yVam Made la Goad Faith
Oa tho Back of Cru
cial Examination.
rsrzciAx, TxxsaiutTOTn- nisrATcn.1
New Yoke, January 7. Clemens Mnller,
the wealthy German who is being sned by
Caroline J. Cammerer, a Philadelphia
music teacher, for $100,000 for breach of
promise to marry, remained on the witness
stand all day to-day, in the Supreme Court.
Completing bis direct testimony, he said
that Mr. Cammerer demanded $400 on May
31, 1887, for board, because Miss Cammerer
had been living at her father's house for a
month. The witness gave him ?100. After
ward he went to Cammerer's rooms, and in
the office (Miss Cammerer lying sick in a
private room adjoining) he told tbe father
he had come to settle the matter; that Lena
must get ready and start with him for
Europe. The old man insisted on money,
and finally exclaimed, "You'll have to go
to Europe alone."
Lawyer Lewis condncted the cross-examination
as follows:
Q. At or abont the time yon first met Miss
Cammerer yon took pains to impress upon her
your own opinion tbat yon were an honorable
and upright man T
"Do yon still hold that opinion of yourself r"
"Indeed I do."
"Did yon talk to her on December 17 of love?"
"Undoubtedly."
"Did you ask her to be your wifet"
"No, sir; nothing, of the sort."
"You told ber tbat you were an honorable
man, and loved bert"
"1 did."
"Did you kiss her!"
"Ob, no; we were not qnlte as far as tbat yet."
On direct examination he had testified that
he had said nothing of the sort to her until
in August, when they were on the way to
Bhinebeck. Now he said it was before a
certain letter. was written. The date proved
to be June 12, and under the lawyer's ques
tioning he finally testified that the proposi
tion was actually first made on December
30, 1885, between the acts at the opera in
Philadelphia. The cross-examination con
tinued :
"Did she understand what yon meant"
"I don't think sne caught its f nil meaning."
"What was your full meaning?
"Tbat she sbould lire with me."
"Howr
"On contract"
"You consider that yon.as an honorable man.
could enter into such a contract with ber, as a
virtuous woman?"
"I did."
Questioned as to his wealth he said that
he was worth about $80,000, and that his in
come, above expenses, interest and repairs,
was not over $2,000 a year. He acknowl
edged tbe ownership of a long list of prop
erties in this city, but said they were all
mortgaged. After he left the stand Colonel
Ingersoll said that Mrs. Erb, his only wit
ness, was sick.
Lawyer Lewis announced that he would
call but one witness. Miss Cammerer her
self, in rebuttal, and would not take np over
20 minutes with her. After tbat Colonel
Ingersoll and Mr. Dougherty will have it
out in the summing up, and the case will go
to the jury.
A L0fffJ LOCKOUT AT AU END.
The Operatives nt Haverhill to Eetura to
Work on Monday. '
rSFZCIAL TXLEOBAK TO THS DISPATCH. I
HavebhillMass., January 17. The
labor war is at an end. A compromise has
been effected by the State Board of Arbitra
tion, and the 3.000 locked-out operatives
will, return to -work on Monday morning.
The first proposition came irom James
"Winchell, the manufacturer who was affected
by the trouble. He asked his employes to
return" to work on the old schedule of prices,
and promised to make a price list
that was perfectly satisfactory to them.
Tbis proposition was made to
the Board ot Arbitration, and was in turn
submitted to the leaders of the workmen.
To-night the union took favorable action,
and the lockout was at an end. Tbe other
manufacturers having made Mr. Wincheirg
fight their own, could pot well continue it
after he had made satisfactory terms with
his men, so they, too, threw open their
doors.
Tbe men will return to work at the old
rates, but higher prices have been promised.
In this way the compromise was effected.
There is no' bitterness on either side. There
is, however, a feeling of relief that a long
and bitter -ght has neen thus happily
avoided.

ONE KON-UNIOSISl'S DEAD BRIDE
No more desperate battle has been waged
of late years between capital and labor than
that which began to show signs of a victori
ous end In Woodbury, N. J., yesterday. A
millionaire patent medicine man has turned
the scales by discharging every non-unionist
from his bottle factory. All Jersey's glass
blowers, and those in Eastern Pennsylvania,
have had a hand in this general Eastern
strike. The details showing how dose the
strikers have lived to the hunger and priva
tion line are very interesting pathetically
so in one or two particulars.
rsnctAL nx-aBAx to ths dhtatcti.i
Camden, N. J., January 17. Colonel
G. G. Green, the millionaire patent medi
cine maker of "Woodbury, N. J., to-day
gave very important and decidedly signifi
cant orders for the withdrawal of all non
union glassblowers from his factories, and
union blowers will go to work to-morrow.
Colonel Green accedes to all the demands of
the blowers. Most of the blowers who for
merly worked in these factories have gona
to Birmingham, Ala., and their places will
be taken by men from Glassboro, Clayton,
and other places. This move, it is thought,
will have considerable weight in straighten
ing out the difficulties between the manu
facturers and blowers.
The flint glassblowers who went out at
Whitney Bros' works, Glassboro, in sympa
thy with green glassblowers, have been em
ployed by "Whitall, Tatum & Co., Millville,
and will go to work Monday.
It had been rumored that 16 flint blowers
from Pittsburg were coming to take their
places. At Whitney's this is denied, as
thers is said to be not one non-union flint
blower in the conntry.
AIT A1L-PEEVADEIO BATTLE.
Into every phase of life, every artery of
trade, and even into relieion, this stubborn
contest between the green glass blowers,
and the manufacturers was gradually forc
ing its way. The thriving towns which de
pend practically for very life upon the
operations of the glass works, thriving as
business prospers or drooping as it assumes
dullness, are just now on the verge of ruin.
Never, in the history of glasstnakers'
troubles and there have been many has
there been such a stubborn contest between
employe and employer, and all efforts to
reach an agreement have proved unavail
ing. The hundreds of idle men and boys
who fill tbe towns have seemed on the verge
of desperation. The weekly allowances from
the Knights of Labor Assembly bnt slightly
fill tbe cavity so plainly apparent in house
hold affairs on Saturday nights. Bare ne
cessities only have come to the families,
many of which have been accustomed to an
order considerably above the average work
ingman's lot.
DBEADITrLLTT TEYING OBDEAL3.
Many trying experiences have been gone
through by the sturdy men who have been
accustomed to such hard and continuous
work. Only the mild weather of the present
winter has prevented sufferings of the keen
est sort. As it is, families are suffering
for clothing and other necessaries.
Still, through it all, the great mass of the
union blowers and their helpers maintain a
stolid, unyielding front to the pressure of
the wealthy manufacturers. To every ef
fort for a settlement upon any other terms
than those demanded by the workmen, the
men have answered an unwavering "no,"
save in some scattering instances where a lew
of the weaker ones have gone to work.
The contest has produced the most alarm
ing state of affairs at Glassboro, a hitherto
thriving town of abont 4,000 population on
the West Jersey Bailroad, about 20 miles
below this city. There Whitney Bros,
have one of the largest works in the East.
The firm is among the most active in the
Manufacturers' Association and severest in
its efforts to gain the victory in the present
controversy.
As the winter rolled on and efforts at set
tlement failed the firm made a determined
movement to operate the works at all
hazards.
A TEMPOBABT SUCCESS.
They sent out emissaries to secure men
and apprentices to take the places of the
strikers, and were so far successful as to
light the fires under a furnace early in No
vember. The entrance into the quiet town
of non-union men, who took the places of
those who believed they were contending
merely for the right, and the movements of
one or two blowers and several apprentices
who went to work in the factory, at once
produced discord, and frequent disturbances
took place. Cool heads among the striken
prevailed, however, and serious breaches
were avoided.
When a crowd of non-union blowers
came in a body from Bridgetoa the
Glassboro men could bear the strain
no longer. They got quietly together,
awaited the "scabs" as thev left work at
night, surrounded them, ''argued" with
them in a decidedly pointed and vfgorous
way, and finally "escorted" them, on a run,
to the depot. The next train came none too
soon ior the Bridgeton blowers, who have
not touched a pipe in Glassboro since.
More than one Glassboro house bears evi
dence of the disnleasure of the Glassboro
boys at the weakness of its occupant, who
deserted his fellows and went to work. One
of these is a little-two story, old-fashioned
house on the northern outskirts of the town.
It is occupied by Calvin Chew and his fam
ily of wile and four children. Chew was
foreman of tbe grinding room in Whit
ney's works and became one of the emissa
ries to secure men and boys to take tho
places of the union men.

He went aronnd the country, gathering
them in whereve he could find them, and
he kept at work himself. Chew and Ma

bers of the Methodist Church and teachers

this course, he was very auiekly tabooed by
not only the people in tbe social circle in
which he had been moving, bnt he and hu
family got many a stony stare and many a
