A new employed in place of a striker, New York, Sept. 25.—But for the strength and courtesy of four huge ele­ phants, a ton batch of mail stuck in the mud at Sixth avenue and Forty-second street would have missed its train at the Grand Central depot last night. The trouble began when a large mail wagon, loaded to the top, swung down Sixth avenue and ventured a sharp turn at the left a sticky driver, was on the wagon and was accompanied by a policeman. He urged the horses in­ to the trap and the wheels sunk to their hubs. A crowd gathered and broke three ropes in their efforts to help the horses. Then the policeman had a happy thought. He sent a messanger to an ampitheatre, and asked for the ser­ vices of the performing elephants. Four were hurried to the scene in charge of their keepers. They were harnessed to the side of the wagon and jerked it out of the mud with utmost ease, while the crowd cheered. Early in the evening a crowded Madi­ son avenue electric car crashed into a large mail wagon at Fifteenth street and Union Square, overturning the vehicle. The strike-breaking driver and a police­ man by whom he was accompanied were thrown into the street. Both were verely injured. The motorman was rested. Robbed Canadian Banks. New York, Sept. 25.—A New York State detective will sail for Germany in a few days to bring back to this coun­ try Henry F. Hardy, who, for the last thirteen years has been the inmate of German prisons. Hardy is to be brought back to serve an unexpired term of twelve years in the Clinton prison, from which he escaped in 1890. He is declared to be one of the most clever bank thieves ever known in this country. After his escape he is al­ leged to have robbed two Canadian banks of $7,000, and was next heard of in Germany living the life of an “Ameri­ can millionaire,” a9 he was called, at a fashionable hotel in Frankfort-on-Main. A Beden-Baden banker recognized him as a man who had stolen from his bank cash to the amount of $24,000. He was at once imprisoned by the German authorities and his time is now expir­ ing. Since Hardy has learned that he would be brought back he has written letters to the State Superintendent of Prisons asking that he be allowed to remain in Germany. The authorities have refus­ ed to consider his petition. se- ar- on Tecord as utterly opposed to the pre­ sent legislation in this respect, and that the Ontario Executive to this Congress be instructed to co-operate in this Pro­ vince, with the view of entering a pro­ test to the Ontario Cabinet, urging the repeal of this unfair assessment law.

Chickens Taught to Feed at Call of Auto Horn. Freeland, N. J., Sept. 25.—Not long ago a farmer of Glendola, near here, found an automobile horn, dropped from some machine near his property. He car­ ried it home and put it to a practical use. He taught the chickens to run af­ ter him when the horn“honked” at meal time, instead of calling ‘Chick, chick, chick!” in the old fashioned way. The fowls took to the innovation, and when­ ever they heard the “honk” would run from all directions to get their corn. Day before yesterday Dr. Ackerman of Asbury Park went scorching by the farm in his automobile, tooting his horn. The chickens on the farm with one ac­ cord set ont after the auto, spurred on by the familiar “honk, honk,” On the fowls ran, and kept on running until seventeen hens and stix roosters ran themseivea to death in, the highway. The rest, finding they were being fooled, stopped for breath, and then wandered back home. The farmer found them wheezing and scratching their heads by the kitchen door and has discovered that they will no longer respond the 4jputo” horn.

F., this morning declined to in any way modify the existinug laws in regard to the admittance to membership of those engaged in the liquor traffic. Not only did they decide that none should be allowed to join the order who were engaged in this business, but it de­ creed that no dne can remain a member of the I. O. O. F. who has been engaged in this business since the first ruling was made upon the subject in the 1895 convention at Atlantic City. This moans that a number of liquor men who are now members of the order will either be compelled to resign from the lodges with which they are connect­ ed or else retire from any connection with the liquor business. | The parade this afternoon was a brilli­ ant pageant, there being 5,000 men in line. In addition to the many cantons of Patriarchs Militant, there were hun-- dreds of subordinate lodges in line,' many of them with decorated floats. A reception and military ball was held in the ’evening. ------------------------------------------------------ CLAIMANTS TO LANDS. d After This Coun- iehaves. -The Star publishes irst class battleship after the the King about to WHAT DUNN SAYS. $12,000 WORTH OF FISH STOLEN DAILY BY U. S. POACHERS. Detroit, Sept. 25.—The Canadian fish- eries cruiser Vigilant stopped here for minor repairs. Before leaving Captain Dunn said the American poaching fish­ tugs keep thoroughly posted as to the whereabouts of the Vigilant, and have a fine system of warning each other of the cruiser’s approach. Erie, Pa., alone . hah a fleet of about 70 fishing tugs. The speediest of the tugs are placed at the head of the column in the direction in which the Vigilant is known to be. When the cruiser is sighted the leader starts off full speed for American waters, the second tug sees her and follows suit, and so on all along the line. It is believed that at least twelve thousand dollars’ worth of fish is taken into Lake Erie ports by poachers every day from Cana­ dian waters. The Dominion, Name try, Mi si London, Sept. 25.-1 the following: The f Dominion, which was named Dominion of Canada, one of Edward VII. class, which is join the Atlantic fleet, broke adrift from her moorings fin Portsmouth har­ bor yesterday and did considerable dam­ age before being secured. The huge ves­ sel of 15,000 tons displacement, was an­ chored in the stream, and owing to the strength of the tide ner chain cable sud­ denly parted. She at once began to drift up harbor and bumped against the gunboat Ant, whosib deck wa3 sw7ept by the battleship’s boom, and everything on it smashed. Leaving the gunboat the battleship drifted on to a private yacht, that was close by, and so completely wrecked the little craft that some ladies and gentle­ men on board had to be taken off by the Dominion’s boats. The great anchor was at once let go. Before it could hold, however, £ie Dominion had drift­ ed on the royal yacht Albert, which was lying at her moorings. The little wooden vessel of which the Queen was so fond, was badly damaged, and her paddle-box almost reduced to splinters. Drifting clear of the yacht, the Dominion ran, on a mudbank, and remained fast for four hours until she was hauled off and conveyed to a place of by resolution to pass and put into ef­ fect such legislation as will insure the construction of a centre aisle on all new cars, and also that conveniences be pro­ vided for the men on duty. The Banitary conditions of Montreal were represented as dreadful, and for the protection of the public health a re­ solution was passed calling for action on the part of the authorities. The curse of consumption was held to be not sufficiently evident to the Gov­ ernment, whose attention was called to it in another resolution which pointed out two causes of the propagation of the disease. These were the indiscri­ minate sale of household goods, and es­ pecially bedding, from the families of consumptives, and the renting of houses where the disease had been present with­ out adequate disinfection. Mr. William Ferguson, a representa­ tive of the New York State Federation cf Labor, was invited to the platform, and addressed the Congress. Canada, he said, had made the greatest progress of any fiyqntry cQj?.nerted with the federa­ tion in ten years. Mrs. May Darwin. Canadian organiz­ er of the Woman’s International Labor League, was invited to a duress the Con­ gress,' and bro Light greetings from Pre­ sident Annie Fitzgerald, Chicago. She believed one cause of the slow growth of unionism was non-support of the un­ ion label. Hamilton and Berlin had promised assistance, and she expressed her thanks for what had Leen done. Winnipeg Typographical Union, 191, submitted a resolution at the morning session against having public printing contracts sent ou,t of the Dominion. St. Catharines unionists desire to inaugur­ ate a defence fund to fight organized capital. Delegates S. L. Landers, Hamilton, and J. H.

Secretary Draper desired the ’ gress to endorse fl.ll bona fide labels. "Beware of bogus labels,” was Mr. Landers’ advice tq western delegates. His resulution was adopted. Owing to the stifnd is-afen by the Mc­ Clary Manufacturing Company of Lou­ don, in locking out their moulders, and i refusing to recognize a committee of the j workmen, and efforts having been made j by the international officers to arrive | at a peaceful settlement, it was resoiv- ' ed, on the motiontof J.

The afternoon ' session, which lasted two hours, was . particularly animated. Incidentally pro­ tests -were uttered against the arrange­ ment made by the' Reception Committee for the delegates to visit one of the breweries. It was thought beneath the dignity of a Labor Parliament to spend its time at a brewery. A resolution ament the disability of the letter-carriers, who are debarred from re­ ceiving pay in .case of sickness or acci­ dent, called out a strong protest from frecretary Draper, who is one of the forceful speakers of the Congress., He was not going to vote against'the reso­ lution, he said, but rhe '.art time the. question had been up the Rost mas ter­ General had faced it squarely; Considering their pay and unifprm-s, he thought the letter-carriers were superior in position to most mechanics. Mr. Draper would support the resolution, as Le thought them entitled to further con­ sideration. But while in ope way they were organized, in another they -were not, and they could not be got to join the union elsewhere as they did in Tor­ onto. Instead of getting down and begging favors from ward politicians on the one hand, and then coming to beg further favors from the Congress, they should organize. He was willing to sup­ port them, but they should give their moral and financial aid in return. The resolution was adopted, instruct­ ing the new .Executive to call the at­ tention of the Postnrtster-General to j the facts with a view to getting his con- j sideration and action in the way de- j sired. ! A resolution from St. Catharines rais- , ed a well-balanced discussion over the establishment of a legal defence fund. T he expense of the proceedings at St. •Catharines was likely to fall heavily on me of the local unionists. The Com­ mittee on Resolutions recommended the rejection of the resolution. : After a long discussion a division was * taken, when 39 were found voting- each * way. Officers’ votes were called for, and ] \ iee-President Simpson voted for the . amendment and Secretary Draper against. Chairman Verville cast his vote I against the amendment. On another tie . vote on the committee’s recommendation ! to reject the resolution the Vice-Presi­ dent voted with the Secretary, and the project was thrown out. Another lively time occurred at 3.30 o'clock, when the business on hand had been exhausted, and it was proposed to go into executive session, and take up reports thus to be dealt with. Delegates Armstrong, Anderson and others objected to the secret sessions. Fifteen minutes had been exhausted in debate when an adjournment was moved. Protests were raised and countered. A resolution, of full sympathy with the Strafford machinists in their strike with the Grand Trunk was adopted. Del­ egate Aid. S. J. Mallicm explained the situation. Another resolution calling on the Gov­ ernment to pay female inspectors salar­ ies on the same scale as males was ad­ opted after warm support from John Armstrong.
