STATE JOURNAL. THURSDAY EVENING-, JANUARY 17, 1S95. 'A J si? 9 WAR WITHCARHEG1L His Steel Workers Are Organ izing Aaiii. They Are Much Embittered at the Management OF THE STEEL MILLS Because Five Hundred Hen Were Discharged For Attending a Meeting to Organize a Union. Homestead, Pa., Jan. 17. There were 640 meu tell but fifty of whom were em ployes of the Carnegie 6teel plant at this place), who answered the call for a meet ing at the opera house last nii;ht, to ex press their views on the matter of organ ization of a labor union; and to give vent to their feelings concerning the discharge of the .100 workers for attending last Sunday's meeting. Though no plan of organization wag outlined, the sentiment in favor of that sentiment was very largely increased by the speeches of Vice President Carney of the Amalgamated association, Hugh. Ko3s and others, and the arrangements were made for another meeting on Sun day next which will be addressed by President Garland, Hugh Ross and the members of the old executive board which managed the strike two years ago. During the speech last night of one of th discharged workmen named Hani land, some one asked if a certain grocer was in the office when If aniland received his discharge Hanilaud answered yes, and immediately there was a mob of meu on their feet yelling: "Lynch him," "Lynch him," etc. When it was learned that the man whom the meu claim is a sp7 was not in the opera house, a number of men made a rush for the door to hunt him up. This movement was finally stopped, and the meeting quieted down again. In all probability an organization will be effected at next Sunday's meeting. Considerable interest is being mani fested a3 to whether or not the company will pursue its avowed intention and dis charge those who were present- at last night's meeting. II A I LKOAi) MEN O U T.

Y., 1:15 a. m., Jan. 17. The strike was declared off on the De Kalb and Franklin avenue trolley lines this morning. These lines constitute what is known as the Brooklyn City Newton railroad company, Colonel John M. Partridge, president. The settlement was brought about through the agency of Mayor Schieren and State Arbitration Commissioner Feeney. CL Partridge says that this is practically a back down on the part of the. men, as he has conceded no perti nent points. The men, however, tell a different story, claiming a victory, as the only point on which they maintained any kind of a stand is the ten-hour working day rule, which the company caucelled. Six thousand men are still out and the most powerful of the railroad corpora tions remain obdurate. The state board of arbitration is making every effort to terminate the strike in a compromise, and the men propose to submit to any fair ruling which the companies pro pose. The strikers generally are behaving quietly. ATHLETIC CLUBS OBJECT. Members Suddenly Conreive Great Inter est in In tituf ?.ons of Learning, New York, Jan. IT.

'I can give you a story," said Mr. Read. "It is about a hog thief who went by the name of Tom. Nobody ever caught Tom stealing ho.s, but there was a firmly settled conviction in the community that all the lnissing porkers were duo to this cunning rascal. Notwithstanding the general be lief that Torn was the thief, and for all the fact that all kinds of schemes wero laid to entrap him, the hogs continued year in and year out to disappear, but Tom was never caught. "A prominent judge and the owner of a fine farm, residing near the town where Tom lived, was out in the yard one morn ing looking over his stock when he no ticed Tom coming down the road. As he just then chanced to be looking at his hogs the sight of Tcm naturally led liim to 6peculate upon the safety of his stock. 'Howdy, Tom,' said the judge. 'Fine lot of hogs, eh?' 'Mawnin, jedge, mawgin,' answered Tom. 1 'Deed an dcy is, jedge, about de fines' lot o' hogs I evah did see, jedge. S'pec' you's mighty proud o' dem hogs, jedge.' 'Well, Tom, for a fact I do think a heap of these hogs. Now I want to make a bargain with jou. I'm not alluding to anything in particular, Tom. I just want you to take notice of those three shoats over in the corner.' "'I see 'cm, jedge, an I s'pecfc dey is 'bout as fine as any shoats I evah did see,' replied Torn, with a broad grin. 'Well, now, see here, Tom, I am going to give you these threo shoats.' 'You's gwine ter givo me dem three fine shoats, jedge? lmus' say, jedge, dat'a monstrous kin' 'Hold on, Tom, there's a condition. I am going to give them to you if you will promisu me for sure that you will leave the rest of the hogs alone. Will you agree?' 'Well, jedge, answered Tom, with a face as sober and as solemn as the judge Wer wore upon the bench, 'you's been a good fr'en of mine, an you's done me a heap o' favors, jedge, an I'ze gwine ter agree. But, jedge,' and here Tom began scratching his woolly head "I tell yon's what, I'ze gwine ter agree, jedge, but I'ze gwine ter lose meat.' Chicago Mail. A Man In the Woods. She had on what they call half mourn ing, to signify that six months had passed since her husband was laid away. She had stopped to look at some pictures displayed by a secondhand dealer on Gratiot avenue, and he stepped out to say: "Sell you that beautiful steel engraving and carved frame for only $2, ma'am. Just as good as new and never cost less than $10." "I I thought I liRed it at first, but it don't amount to much," she replied. "Beg pardon, ma'am, but pleaso look at the details.

A gentleman grumbler, who occupied a front Karden seat on a bus bound for the Northern Heights, was recently complain ing bitterly of the snaillike pace at which the vehicle was proceeding. "Any tiling wrong with the horses?" he inquired of the driver. "Bless me, no," was the reply. "It's their fust journey." Not satisfied, the complainant again pro tested against the conveyance being turned into a funeral car and asked, with some irony, whether it was a "favorite." "No, not exactly, sir," was the answer, "but it's known as the 'regilator.' Asked to explain his meaning, the im perturbable occupant of the box retorted: "Why, 'cause it's the bus all the others 'go by.' London Telegraph. All on the Surface.

"Speaking of dogs," said the man with a glass eye, "reminds me of an experience I had once with a friend of mine named Bixby Samuel J. Bixby." ''That's a reflection on Mr. Bixby," re marked a listener. "I'm telling this story," replied the roan. "As I was going to say, Bixby was a friend of mine that I would have done anything in the world for. I think if Bix by had asked me to steal a horse I would have done it with pleasure. Well, Bixby had a dog he laid great store by because it belonged to his wife, and when tie took a notion to go to California and travel for a big San Francisco grocery house he ask ed me to take care of the dog for him, be cause it wasn't possible for him to take it along with him. I tell you Bixby thought a lot of that dog, and when he told me about how he hated to leave it the tears actually came to his eyes, and I kind of sniffed a little myself. The dog was at a dog fancier's in an adjoining town, and I was to send for it as soon as I conven- iently could do so. It was a mastiffat least I thought he said so about 2 years old, and Bixby said it would be mighty useful about the place as a watchdog. I needed a watchdog, but that wasn't what I was doing this for. It was simply to please to Bixby. Well, he got away at last, and as the train pulled out for the west he waved hia hand to mo and called back not to nelect the dog. And I didn't. The very next day I sent one of my stable boys over after it, and. he brought it back in good shape. And what a dog it was! As big as a calf and would eat four times as much. And what a savage brute! We had to tie him up in the back yard the first night, and after that we kept him in the stablo mostly, for the hired girl was scared to death of him, and the beys used to put his meals down in front of him and run as if they had set fire to a fuse of a dynamite bomb. "At the end of the first week that dog owned the place, and I had to pay the boys extra to look after him. As for myself, even my devotion to Bixby was not enough to get me within a dozen rods of it. Just the same, though, I had promised Bixby not to neglect the dog, and I kept that promise faithfully. And not for a week or a month or a year, but for four long years. Think of that, will you!" And the man heaved a great sigh, partly of relief of a duty done and partly of admiration for himself. "And in that time, gentlemen," he continued, "I lost half my friends, my wife threatened to move out of the house, the neighbors shook us, servants refused to live with me, 1 fought the police to keep them off of him, the back yard and the stable became a wilderness and a scene of desolation, and I was on the verge of lunacy. Yet, through it all, I was loyal to Bixby and the dog. "Well, the end of all things must come, and the end of this trying occasion came at last with Bixby. He had returned with money, and the first thing he wanted to know about was tho dog. I had never failed to report to him at least once a month on the general health and happi ness of the dog, and he knew pretty well how he was doing, though he never knew what I suffered, for I loved Bixby too much to worry him with my trials. Ho had enough of his own, going into a new country among strange people. When I got home with Bixby, my wife refused to see him, but I didn't tell him of that ei ther, and before there was any reason for my lying about it Bixby was on his way to sco the beloved dog, after all of these weary years of separation and waiting. I cautioned him to be a little careful, for the dog hadn't seen him for so long that he mightn't remember him. But Bixby wouldn't hear to anything like that and sailed right into the stable, I remaining outside so as not to intrude upon the af fecting scene of their meeting. In about two minutes there was a ruction and a rumpus in that stable that was simply terrorizing, and in about two minutes more Bixby, or what was left of him, came out of the door, with the dog hang ing to him. How he ever got loose I don't know, but he did, and the next thing I remember we were sitting on, the top of tho fence looking at each other. It took Bixby about seven minutes to get his breath so he could say anything, and I hadn't anything to say. Then what ho did say gave me such a shock that I fell off the fence into the alley. 'Good Lord, old man,' he groaned, "that isn't my dog and never was. Mine was a bull pup.' "And to think, concluded the friend of Mr. Bixby, sighing profoundly, '"what I suffered from the wrong dog!"

Pres ton Harrison, son of the late mayor. Car ter Harrison of Chicago, is in the city on his way to the South Sea islands, where he will remain for some time. In an in terview Mr. Harrison remarked that upon his return he will again engage in jour nalism. Asked further as to his intentions, he said: "I became so fascinated with the profession from my three years' ex perience with the Times that I cannot keep out of it. I would rather be a re porter on a first-class journal than to be at the head of any mercantile business. "How I got out of the Times is an old story. My sisters naturally felt no inter est in a newspaper, and preferred to sell their stock and invest their money in other lines. I do not blame them, but was sorry that I could not buy their in terest out." Mr. Harrison pays a glowing tribute to Chicago as a newspaper city, and con cludes by expressing regret at his non arrival in time to bid for the San Fran cisco Bulletin, which was recently sold at public auction.

The first of a series of twelve lectures will be given this evening by that emi nent Dr. Tracy, assisted by his family. These lectmes aie free and are given uuder the auspices of the Ministerial Union, and should be well attended by all, young and old. He speaks direct from personal knowledge, as he has been a sufferer from the demon drink. The lecture this evening will be an introductory one to the series, and will be illustrated all through by beautiful atereoptican views. The Grand Transformation scene and the Hock of Ages are said to be the grandest views of the kind ever given in this country. The subject of each lecture will be different every evening. The doctor is well spoken of by the press and clergy all over the country, as the following clip ping will show: Dr. Tracy has seen much of the world, and suffered much from the demon of drink. He knowa the "boya" aa well as the mothers who bore them. Every foot of the road that they are traveling are as familiar as a "twice told tale." Gen ial, good-natured, and kindly, he has a happy knack of forming their ac quaintance and wooing them to so briety and manhood. Touching and ten der at all times, he is often thoroughly eloquent. Night after night have his heartfelt pleadings with the enemy melt ed our people to tears. He is a power in the temperanoe work, and needs to be known to be appreciated. Dayton (O.) Journal.
