peace negotiations which were
conducted in Mayor Roche's pri-
vate office failed because the com-
pany and men could not agree on
the subject of wages. President
Yerkes opened the conference
with an effort to correct tho pres-
ent system of hours as far as pos-
sible. An agreement was reach-
ed on this point, but when the
wage question was taken up tho
men insis d upon 25 cents per
hour for the gripmen, 23 cents
for trail and grip conductors and
22 cents for the horse car men.
Mr. Yerkes offered 20 cents for
the horse car men and 23 cents
for the grip car men. The strik-
ers refused to make any conces-
sion, and after much argument
the conference broke up. .The
committee of the West side car
men was waiting to learn the re-
sult, and when the failure to
reach an agreement was reported,
their chairman said a strike would
be ordered and hurried away. It
is said this morning the executive
committee of the South side rail-
way organization has tendered the
STorth and West side strikers fi-
nancial assistance is necessary.
Id anticipation of a Btru^gleand
to guard against possible out-
breaks the police force is to be
greatly increased. About 350 ap-
plications for places on the force
are on file in the superintendent's
office. Word has besn sent to all
of these men to report for duty to-
day. A large force of patrolmen
will be distributed over the West
Side to look after the railroad
company's property.
Up to 11 o'clock no report of
any trouble either on the North
Side or the West Side has been re-
ceived. No cars are running on
the West Side, and but few have
thus far been started on the North
Side. Tnese were guarded by po-
lice, but they had nothing to do.
OBSTRUCTIONS ON THE TRACKS.
Chicago, 111., Oct. 9—In both
divisions when the strike began it
was stated on behalf of the strik-
ers that no violence would be per-
mitted, and that no obstruction
other than that of moral suasion
upon those who should take the
strikers' place would be used to
prevent the company from run-
ning cars. So far as the strikers
themselves are concerned this
promise seems to have been car-
ried out, but the bitterness of

great that the sergeant in com-

The officers,aggravated somewhat,
made a rush and used their clubs
freely. Men aud boys were hit,
and hit hard, too, and the women
were not spared. A woman,

ly demonstrative against the new
men, was badly wounded by a se-
vere blow. Three men were

Wade illegally assumed her guar-
dianship and appropriated the
money to his own use. Recently
she complained to the G. A. R.
post of her treatment by Wade.
A legal guardian was appointed
and it was found that Wade had
appropriated $2800 of her money.
To-day Wade would have been
compelled to account for the
money, and it is presumed he had
been brooding over the matter so
much that he became partially in
sane, went to his mother's house
last night and after murdering
Mrs. Cate , set fire to the house.
He is then supposed to have ta-
ken a large dose of paris green

flames.
of laughterr Then in an instant
all seemed to remember Pandora
as they had seen her at the last
meet, and in reverential silence
the company rose to their feet,
lifted their glasses to their lips
and sipped in solemn silence to
the memory of the old gray mare
they had just devoured.
"Pandora was shot. She was 20
years old, and on account oflame-
ness in her fore feet she had be-
come a burden to herself. It was
not on account of old age that she
was doomed to death, but because
ler front feet were so sore that she
could no longer take fences and
stone walls. Aside her lameness
she was aa frisky as most at half
Der age.
Dr. Huideksper, in speaking of
the dinner at which Pandora was
devoured, said:
•'Five years ago one of the big-
gest resturants in Berlin was sold
out and the bills for beef furnished
were all presented by horse deal-
ers. All horse-meat is as good as
)e<;f. It is a pity that horse-meat
is not eaten in this country. The
"lorse would not have to be worn
out and sold to hucksters at $10
and $12 when they would bring
good prices for meat. The people
in this city eat beef a great deal
more unfit for food than good
horse-meat. There are 125,000.hu-
man deaths ,in this country every
year from tuberculosis and nealry
one-half of them are the direct re-
sult of eating diseased beef."
A Section Hand Killed.
Wichita Falls, Tex., Oct. 9.—
James Mahon, a section hand on
the Fort Worth and Denver City
railway, was instantly killed here
tbis afternoon. He had been
shoveling cinders from one of the
tracks in the yard, and it is sup-
posed stepped to one side out of
the way of the northbound passen-
ger, when he was knocked down
by the rear end of a freight back-
ing down in the opposite direc-
tion. The hind wheels of the
freight passsed over the man, cut-
ting off his head entirely except a
email strip of skin and bruising
and mangling the body consider-
ably. Mahon was about fifty
years old, unmarried and without
pny near relatives Known here.

A Democratic Gain.
Newark, N. J., Oct. 9.—The
charter election held here to-day
shows a Democratic gain on the
general ticket of about 700. For
the first time in thirty years the
Democrats have carried the city
at a charter election previous to a
presidential election.
Horse-Meat for Dinner.
Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 9.—One
day last week Dr. Rush S. Huide-
keper, Chief of the Veterinary
school of the University of Penn-
sylvania and a prominent figure
in Philadelphia society gave a
a dinner to a number of friends at
the Philadelpnia Club. For the
last thirteen years Dr. Huide-
keper has owned a famous grt»y
mare huoter and steeple-chaser
named Pandora. At the dinner
last week one of the prin
cipal dishes of the menu card
was "Filet a la Pandora." The
guests supposed that the dish was
named in honor of of the old
steeple * chaser whom they* had
seen take many a ditch and many
a fence and come up the winner of
many exciting race. Alter the
fillet had been eaten and pronoun-
ced very toothsome by the guests,
Dr. Huidekeper remarked that he
was glad of his guests' apprecia-
tion for his favorite horse, "for,"
he said, "you have juBt eaten
her."
The guest looked at each other
in amazement and after a short in-
terval of Bilence there was a roar
The Election In Indiana.
Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 9.—It
is expected Mr. Blaine will reach
Indianapolis to-morrow night
about 11 o'clock. He will be the
guest of General Harrison.
Some additional information
has been made to the public re-
garding the membership and or-
ganization of tho fair election
league which ie said to have
branches in every county and pre-
cinct in Indiana. This league
has no connection whatever with
the "committee of one hundred,"
whose officers recently received a
donation of $500 from Chairman
Huston of the Republican state
committee. Both organiiations
have in view the same results,
but each operates independent. It
is learned that Colonel Samuel
Merrill of Indianapolis, is presi-
dent of the "fair election league,"
and Captain John G. Connor of
Indiana former secretary. The
league has thus far sent out seven
circular letteis of instruction to
its members. Their eighth circu-
lar was issued to-day and is pub-
lic. It recites statutory enact-
ments against illegal voting and
penalty.
Btlti Mill! for Jm«s.
Waco, Tex., Oct. 9 —Mr. A. C.
Pendergast, chairman of the Dem-
ocratic executive committee for
this judicial district, submitted a
letter to-day for publication. Af-
ter giving his reasons for accept-
ing the chairmanship of the Dem-
ocratic executive committee of
this district and stating that be
did not suppose an^ Democrat
would be a candidate against Col."
Mills for congress, he sayr:
"After deliberation I have de-
termiend to cast ray vote for what
I believe to be tho best interest of
my country, and I have determin-
ed to resign the said chairmanship
and openlv advocate the election
of Col. K. A. Jones, whom I re-
gard as a better Democrat and in
every way superior, and at the
request of Mr. JoneB' friends 1
have accepted the chairmanship of
tbe Independent Democratic com-
mittee. In this matter tbe party
lash has been u>ed in vain against
me as it has against many others,
and it may be in their opinion
that I am a very bad Democrat.
Yet I have never been an ardent-
phrohibitionist and then a violent
anti-prohibitionist turn-coat, as
Col. Mills has been, nor have I
publicly denounced other Demo-
crats who have been my support-
ers because they differed with me
on a question which the Demo-
cratic Btate convention declared
was no test of their Democracy, as
Col. Mills has done. I have never
been a Knownothing and denounc-
ed Democracy as Col. Mills has
been and done. I have never
been a Whig and supported its
doctrines against the Democratic
party as Col. Mills has done. I
have never been a Greenbacker,
making Greenback speeches, and
been whipped back into tbe party
ranks for the sake of office as has
been done by and for Col. Mills.
I have not been an officeholder for
fifteen years and drawn about
$75,000 from my people, and ^ben
give to another section of tbe
country and made speeches to the
capitalists, telling them that by
the passage of my bill they wouJd
make 5 per cent, more than they
now make under the law, thereby
attempting to injure all, and ruin
some of my people, as Gol. Mills
has done in tbe wool question. I
am not in favor of a vicious sys-
tem of legislation that enriches one
section t« tbe injury of my own
section and people as Col. Mills
has done. I have always voted
the Democratic ticket unscratch-
ed, but in the ensuing election I
shall substitute Jones' name for
Mills'."

A Lawysr'a Loan to a Bsrglar.
"Sometimes a lawyer has some
very queer clients to deal with,"
casually remarked a laWyer who
has an office in theGarfiold build-
ing, Brooklyn, to one of tbe New
York Evening Sun men a few
days since.
"I think the strangest clients 1
ever bad," continued tbe diciple
of Blackstone, "was one I met
while practicing in New York.
There was a man arrested for bur-
glary, and I retained to defend
him. The case, I roust say was
strong against him, but I succeed-
ed in getting him off, and he paid
me just $300 for my services. It
was about a year later that I sat
in my office when the acquitted
burglar entered. I recognized
him in a moment and greeted him
cordially. Of course I had an
idea he was in trouble again and
wanted me to help him out. When
I gave bim a chair he had hardly
seated himself before he exclaim-
ed that he wanted-$60, and he
wanted me to give it to him. For
a moment I thought be was going
to rob me in my own office, but
I mustered courage and asked
him what he wanted it for.
'"Ask me no questions," he re-
plied, 'you'll be better off 'jf you
don't know. If I succeed I will
pay you back; if I don't, you will
lose just $50.'
"I considered for a while and
finally concluded to give it to him.
I did so, and be burned out of my
office.
"Three mornings afterward the
morning papers told of a daring
)ank robbery in Maine, and the
description of one of the suspicious
characters who had been seen in
the neighborhood of the bank
tallied with my client. It struck
me very forcibly at first, but I
soon forgot it. Three months
ater I received a package from
Australia by express, and it oon-
tainedjust $600. With it was a
uole which read: "Here is your
♦50, with interest.'
"I have not seen my client
since advancing him tbe money,
and I doubt whether I would let
lim have any more again, al-
though the rate of interest is
good.
