His poem will live forever in tho hearts of his country men. Tub New York Sun of yesterday had a column editorial strongly urging our oveni ment to accord tho Cuban patriots xecogni tion as belligerents, and oven that they should be recognized as an independent nation, claiming that President Monroo accorded Peru recognition when the case was not as btrong as that of Cuba. A strong presentation of the case will ho made to Con gross when that body convenes nort month, and efforts, will ho made to induce it to grant tlio recognition which their successful efforts to throw off tho tyrannical Spanish yoke entitle them to. An important caso is now pending in the courts of Chester county, and is similar to the ono in which tho borough of Shenan doah is interested. Tlio question at issue is the right to divert tho natural course of a water stream or impound it for manufactur ing or other purposes. Another caso is that of tho liorwyn water company, wherein they have impounded water llowing from Picker ing Creek, and shut oil' a supply of millions of gallons which has been ilowing into the Schuylkill river and helping to fill tko reser v oirs of Philadelphia. Tlio outcome of these eases will be watched with much interest by thopeoploof Shenandoah. Tha decision may havo some bearing upon the suit instituted hy Columbia county fanners 'against the borough. LABOR'S GREAT PROBLEM. Some very important and valuable sugges tions arc niado for tho benefit of the working classos by General Worthy Foreman lishp, of tho Knights of Labor, in his annual report. Chief among them is Ids reference to the gradually increasing ustlessness of what is known ns skilled labor, which is being rapidly superseded by perfected machinery in every department of human handicraft. The machine, ns Mr. Bishop remarks, is the creation of the workman's brain, and ho thinks the creator ought to remain tho master, instead of allowing himself to bo pushed asido by what lie himself has created. He thinks that tho groat problem for organ ized labor to solve is how to mako tho4 machine subservient to its alms and purposes, and that to its solution the thought and rare have not been applied which its importance demands. It may bo possible that Sir. lllshop takos too pobsimistic i view, hut at any rate his warning should not fall upon deaf curs. Even the most carnal olwrver must be convinced that human ingenuity, always on the alert, will contlnuo to evolve labor-saving machinery, which in loss than half a century will make tho aohiovemonts of to-day appear clumsy and impractical in comparison. Tho power of electricity will invade over' branch of industry, and in tho commonest avocations of iifo it will come Into play. Yet there must ho men to ctntrol this power, to guide the machines it operates, to do the now work which its energy creates. It is to meet theso new conditions that Mr, lllshop would wish organized labor to upply itself, nnd if it masters tho situation the skilled laborer nf to day will ho the skilled laborer of to-morrow, though liis skill will, of necessity, have found a now field in which to operate ' THE SYRIAN MASSACRE.

Cleveland, Nov. 18. A trolloy car carrying over twenty passengers, hosldos tho motorimm nnd conductor, went through tho draw of tho Ccntrnl Vlnduct bnturdny night, nnd dropped 101 feet Into tho river holow. 1'ntrlok Loonoy is tho only survivor of thoso who went down with tlio car. Ho is at tlio hospital in n critical condition. Ho says that his recol lection of the nccldont is not very clear. Tho first Intimation ho had that nn acci dent wns to occur was when he felt tho car falling. Hefore ho know what had hap pened he becamo unconscious and remem bered nothing moro until ho caino to nt tho hospital. On tho rear platform of tho enr heforo It rado tho torrihlo plunge wcro O. A. Fer guson, of Pnrmn, O.; John Serlgcr, of Dover, O. j Andy Undko and Jnko Holler. All Jumped nnd wcro saved. Hollor says tho car was going slowly, nnd that ho heard gome ono cry out "Stop tho car, stop the car," Ho nl60 says thero was a woman on tho platform, nnd that sho jumped safely awny, hut immediately cried out that her daughter was in tho car. Tho Contra! Viaduct is a hugo stilt bridge 3,000 foot long, mado of iron. It connects the heights nnd tho prosperous resldeuco scotlon on tho Soutli Sldo with tho business center of tho city. Directly over tho river is n drawbridge of tho pivot swinging pattern, nnd this is 101 fect nbovo tho surface of tho water. Tho South Side street railroad passes over tho bridge, nnd on clthor sldo of tho draw there is a safety switch, which, unless tho conductor nllghts nnd holds up a handle, will send a car into tho gutter instead of allowing it to go on tho draw. All reports seem to ngreo that tho ill fntcd motor car nppronched tho draw just as a vessel was ncaring it, nnd tho bridgo attendants had closed tho big iron gates nnd were preparing to swing tho draw. As is tho rulo, tho car stopped, nnd tlio con ductor wont forward to release tho switch in caso tho way wns clear. An oyo witness declares that though tho gates wcro closed nnd tho draw was already in motion tho conductor raised the switch linndlc. Tho motormnn'npplied tho current nnd the enr shot forward and struck tho gates with a crash. There was only a moment's pause, nnd then the heavy car ground its way through the wreckngo and plunged over tho brink Into tho black abyss amid the screams and frantic struggles of tho passengers, who nt tho first intimation of danger rushed for tho rear door. Tho car struck with n great splash, and then thero was silence. All of tho dead hnvo boon identified, but four persons who were supposed to hnvo been on tho ill fated car as it mndotlio aw ful plungo aro still missing, nnd there seems to bo no doubt that their bodies. will bo taken from tho bottom of tho river when tho heavy iron trucks of tho wrecked motor nro raised. Ono of tho bodies found yesterday wns that of llttlo Gurtlo Hoffman, 'nged ii years, who wns going homo from tho store whero hor father was employed, with hor mother nnd brother. Tho other body wns that of Louis Huletz, a mall carrier, aged 2(5 years, who lived with his wife at 88 Brovier street. His head was split open from tho forehead down to the chin, und thero is no doubt thut ho wns killed before tho car settled In tho wnter. Tho finding of tho body of llttlo Gcrtlo Hoffman filled tho cup of sorrow for A. W. Hoffman, n grocery salesman. Sho was tho last member of his family. His wifo and son Hnrvoy wcro taken from tlio river Saturday night. When Hoffman realized what happened to him ho became borcft of his reason. Rushing to tho river, ho plunged in and tried to drown himsolf, but was rescued by friends, who took him awny nnd tried to comfort him. Tho work of rescuing tho bodies was bo- gun immediately after tho acoidont, and Is still in progress. Thirteen bodlos woro recovered during Saturday night, and this was increased to fifteen yesterday. Bridgo Captain Charles Brenner said yesterday: "All the regular danger sig nals wero put out und tho gates closed. Tho bridge had swung clear around, and the boat hnd approached almost under It, whon I wns dumfoundcu to seo tho car ap proaching. I cried out with all my might: 'Stop, stop; for God's sake, stop that carl' Tho inotormnu wns endeavoring to Btop tho car, but it seemed that his efforts wero of no uso, for tho car camo steadily on and crashed into tho iron gates, which gave way, and in n second tho car had gone over tho precipice Just ns the car strnck tho gates tho frightened inotormnn jumped and fell on tho bridgo. I saw tho motor man about ten minutes after tho accident, but ho disappeared shortly afterwards." Last night August Rogers, tho motor- man of tho ill fnted car, was charged with manslaughter. This action wns taken by Chief of Police Ho3lm, after ho hnd inves tigated tho accidont. Rogors gives this ac count of tho accident: "Whon my motor reached tho switch at tho approach of tho draw in tho viaduct I shut off my current nnd applied thobrako. The car camo to n full stop und tho con ductor ran nhoad and throw tho switch. Ho motioned me nhond with a wnvo of his arm. I nut my lovor nt tho first notch und as I passed tho conductor, who always stands at tho switch lovor until tho car has passed, was running nt tho rate of pos sibly four mllos an hour. I looked back, ns I always do, nnd saw him got on tho roar platform. "Lookiug nhend I thought I saw tho gates nt the draw closed over tho track, but as my lights wero burning, and I had ourrent, the thought occurred to mo that my eyes must hnvo boon nt fault. I was Just in the act of giving, and possibly gavo tho lovor n slignt pusn lorward, when I was startled at seeing tho gates in front of tno, and I heard some ono yell 'jump I' I don't know whethorl reversed tho current or not, for I realized tho danger and leaped from the vestibule. As I IouihxI I thought I would plungo headlong down and into tho river, but as the car struck tho gato I fell on it and caught thq iron frame and saved myself. "When I was freed from the Iron gato I scarcely know what to do. I was dazed. I finally concluded to run hack and toll the police. I did this, nnd then ran back to tho Bceno of tho accident. 1 hurried down tho embankment nnd began to pull bodies out from tho wreck. I worked thero for nn hour or more. Thea I grew tick nnd went home." Ordinarily tho swinging of tho bridge cuts off tho olcotrlo current nnd tho lights go out, but Rogors declares positively that tho lights wrroburnlng brightly in his car.
