THE STRIKE ON.
Louisville and Nashville Switchmen and
Brakemen Quit Work—Serious Situation.
Louisville, Ky., Sept. 28.—1The situation
on the Louisville and Nashville system has
assumed a serious aspect. The threatened
strike seems to be on now In earnest. Thir-
ty-five switchmen in the yards quit work
to-night and were joined by seventy-two
brakemen. These comprise the entire force
of freight brakemen on the main stem,
and they will probably be followed by
brakemen all over the Louisville and Nash-
ville. Every freight train to have left
to-night was abandoned. The question at
this hour is, Will the engineers and fire-
men strike? If they do the road will be
blockaded.
At midnight there was no indication of
a strike on the part of the engineers, but
any hour may see all the trainmen walk
out. The situation is critical.

chief at Cincinnati, saying, 'The men have
accepted the situation. I leave to-morrow
for Denver to look into trouble over cut
in wages on Denver and Rio Grande.' "
Later—The members of the grievance com-
mittee called at President Ingall's office
this evening and announced to his secre-
tary that they would accept the reduction
of wages.

me, and though I should have preferred
good weather, owing to the pleasant
social atmosphere contingent upon na-
ture's caprices, I was still not altogether
ln the dumps when our first four days
were such as to give me an opportunity
to revel in the treasures of the very
complete library I found on board the
Teutonic.
During my many trips to and from
the book cases I came ln constant con-
tact with a pleasant faced man whom,
from the cut of his clothes, I judged
to be a minister. Nor was I mistaken
in my surmise, for later on in one of
our moments of acrobatic agility caused
by a sudden lurch of the ship he en-
tered into conversation about the
weather, and after a few moments'
talk presented me with his card, which
bore the name of "Lucius Boswell, D.
D." I gave him mine In exchange and

hurried sort of a way and without more

two of the latest:
A lady living on West Walnut street
lost the services of a chambermaid and

on the Midway one day she strayed into
a beauty show, where, it Ib alleged, the
most fascinating representatives of women

benefit of the steerage passengers was

words that seemed to sink deep into
the hearts of the hearers I said to my
self: "This man is one of nature's no
