journeymen Shoemakers of this city
struck this mornlng for an advance of
wages from nine to twelve dollars.
' They have refused an oiler of the em
ployers to compromise for $10.50 per

liberal and the best they can offer, and
and that If It Is not accepted they can
and will get their work done In the east
at less prices. There are 1,000 shoe-
makers of this class in Chicago and
'those who have not already struck
threaten to do. The strike includes all
' .the leading wholesale houses.
A Sam-Patch Leap.
A number of men who were swim
ruing at the old Navy-Yard on Satur
day night were amusing themselves by
jumping oir the lower rounds of the big
shears, when Timothy Boyle, a big bur
ly fellow, came up and said;
"I'll show you something," and
climbed to the top of the shears, one
hundred and ten feet high, and jumped.
He went straight, cleaving the air like a
cannon ball, and parted the water clean
ly. lEe sank deep, but came up and
was soon ashore. He soon, bowever.be
gan to swell, and in a couple .of hours
was covered with the marks of bruises,
and to-iay Is so sore as be to in bed. That
he survived at all is wonderful, for in
NewYork last week aman wh jumped
sixty feet was killed.
Terrific Storm.
Washington, I. C, August 6. At
ithree o'clock this afternoon this city
was visited by the most terriffio storm
known 'here for many years. In diuer
.ent sections -of the city some forty or
fifty houses were unroofed and extensive
.damage was done to many houses in
course of eeection. Castle Stewart,
which has beea rented to the Chinese
embassy, was .damage to the extent
of $1,500.
Mary Sharp, a colored woman, resid
ing in a small house near the river bank
was killed by being blown into the riv
r with the house in which ske resided.
There are reports of sveral persons hav
ing been injured by lightning. The
patent office, the Smithsonian itaatitute,
the office of the Pott and Holy Cross
-Church of the Communion were struck
by lightning, but not seriously dam
aged. Thero was very great destruc
tion to the sewers throughout the eity
and the cellars to many business houses
in the neighborhood of Pennsylvania
avenue Seventh street were flooded with
water.
The avenue in front of the executive
mansion and the treasury department
during the storm resembled a rapidly
flowing river, and it was with the ut
most difficulty that street cars or vehi
cles of any description could face the
wind and rain.
Hundreds of sparrows were killed by
the hail which fell with great violence.
Shade trees in all sections of the city
were broken and torn down. The dam
age to public and private property will
reach at least $75,000. In front of the
Baltimore and Potomac depot afternoon
the water was at least eighteen inches
deep and passengers for the trains were
ferried over the flooded street in wagons.
A Startling Robbery.
One of the Wildest robberies that ever
occurred In New York was committed
In brond daylight last Saturday, at
Thirty-seventh street and Ninth avenue.
C. II. Stone is a son-in-law of Joseph P.
Hale, the piano manufacturer, of No.
600 West Thirty-fourth street, and is
employed by the Arm as Its cashier.
About noon on Saturday, he went to
the West Side savings bank, at Thirty
fourth street and Eight avenue, and
drew $2,050 to pay off the workmen at
the factory. He presented the check and
received the money, partly In currency
and partly In silver, which he tied up
in a bag and walked out with it under
hi, arm. He went along Thirty-fourth
street towards Ninth avenue, and when
about to cross to the other side of the
street he noticed a red butcher's cart,
with three men besides the driver, pass
quickly by. Not suspecting any danger
other than being run over, he dodged
the cart. No sooner had he readied the
station of the elevated railway, at Ninth
avenue, than the three men leaped out
of the cart, and one of them, springing
upon Mr. Stone from behind, threw his
arm around his neck and attempted to
choke him. The other two seized him
by the arms and legs and attempted to
throw him.
Mr. Stone Ib a powerful man, and
struggled violently with his assailants.
Aware of the unequal contest, he shout
ed to a District telegraph messenger boy
who was passing, and throwing to him
the package of money, told him to run
away with it as fast as he could. The
boy picked it up and ran up the avenue.
Mr. Stone, freeing tiimrelf from the
robbers, threw himself upon them, and
called loudly for help. One of the men,
in a rage, struck him in tho face, and
then pursued the boy, who had nearly
reached Thirty-fifth street. Catching
up with him, he demanded the money,
and, meeting with a denial, he knocked
the boy down, wrested the package from
him, and rejoined his companions, who
had overpowered Mr. Stone. The three
then Jumped into their wagon and drove
away at full speed. Pressing an express
wagon into service, Mr. Stone started in
pursuit. Reining in their horse, the
thieves allowed their pursuers to come
up, when one of them struck the ex
press wagon borne a powerful blow with
the but end of a whip, stunning the
animal, and thus preventing further
pursuit. At Twnty-nlnth st., one of the
traces of the cart broke, but it was
quickly mended by the robbers, who
soon disappeared.
The hour selected for the robbery was
when the policemen change their patrols.
Not an ofllcer was in eight. The streets
were crowed with people, and although
hundreds saw the assault, no one at
tempted to Interfere, probably thinking
that it was only a street right. The
robbery was reported to Captain Wash
burn, of the Thirty-seventh street sta
tion. Detective Smith obtained a min
ute description of tlie robbers and the
cart. The horse was of high mettle,
evidently taken from a livery stable.
The police think that the robbers be
long to the same gang that several
months ago boarded a Third avenue car
and robbed a collector of $300.
Death on the Railroad.
Steuhenvillis, O., August 7. The
terrible railway accident on the Pan
Handle railroad, about three and one
half miles below Steubenville, occurred
about 1:20 this morning. The collision
took place between tho fust line pas
senger west,whlch left Pittsburg at 11:47
last night, and the second section of the
freight No. 13, coming east. The pas
senger truin left Steubenville at 1:10,
which was seven minutes behind time.
Half a mile beyond Mingo Junction the
engineer saw the freight approaching on
the same track and put on the air
brakes, but was unable to stop. The
passenger traiu was running at the rate
of thirty miles an hour. The result of
the collision was that about thirteen
passengers were killed, and some thirty
or forty wounded. No one on the freight
was hurt. The passenger train consisted
of the Cincinnati postal car, St. Louis
postal car, one baggage, one emigrant,
two passenger coaches and two sleepers.
The Cincinnati postal car was thrown

St. Louis car was thrown over an em

On Tuesday evening last, about dark,
as Mrs. J as. II. Woodburn was in the
stable milking a cow she very percent!
bly smelted tire and believing it to be
close at hand instituted a search. She
was not long in discovering that it was
in the neighboring stable, Mrs. Gil
more's, the same that had been fired
some time since. She immediately ran
to front street where she found James
McCandlish and her husband who
reached the scene just in time to save a
conflagration. The attempt was pre
cisely similar to the former, the fine
straw and dust were heaped up and
smouldering ready to burst out.
