The powder struck Ruth all over the face, several particles of it her eyes Robert Wolfe, whej is 14 years old, anticipating a glorious Fourth, had 1 bought a blank cartridge revolver and a box of blank cartridges, notwithstanding the fact that his ja rents had told him many times not to do so. Yesterday afternoon in the presence of a number of small boys anl girls gathered about the steps of the Zimmerman home, young "Wolfe "was pointing out the advantages of a "real" revolver over the. ordinary ca.p pjstol that small children are generally armed with a.bout this time of the year. The boy pointed the revolver at several of the children and although it was not loaded, the screamed loudly. Little Ruth Zimmerm.

in, who greatly fears anything pertaining to explosives, was more frightened than the other children and yelled louder than all the rest. "Bim" then loaded his revolver with a blank cartridve and held it a few inches away from the face of the child. The little girl asked him to take it away, but the boy only answered, "Oh, it won't hurt," and pulled the trigger. When the smoke cleared away the children on the steps were horrified see the little girl's face black with the powder of the discharged cartridge. She was lying on the 'pavement.

Mrs. Zimmerman was quickly notified of the affair and Ruth was taken to a doctor, who removed the burnt powder from the child's face and rigWt arm. Several pieces of powder had gotten into her eyes and for a few days Ruth will bo confined a dark room.

The If SI mmm Committee of the Reading Railway employes in charge of the strike last, i evening, through its chairman, A. II. Bechor, made reply to President Baer's address to the "strikers, in which he notifies them to return to work. Referring to Mr. Baer's atti tude, the strikers' committee says: I "It is that of an autocrat, who scorns our complaints and refuses to listen to, much less consider, our griev I aiices.

It is unworthy of one charg I ed with the great responsibilities of his place, and upon whose action the 1 material welfare, comfort and happiness of so many depends. He and we are the employes of a common master; many of us are his neighbors, to whose good character he has often testified, and we had hopied from him a dispassionate, judicial and candid consideration of our complaints. Instead of that, he disposes of our cause without, a hearing, speaks of our complaints as 'unreasonable and indulges in clap trap about religion, nationality, the kind ness of the railroad epmpanv to its 1 employes, the homes that the men have earned by our labor, and a threat 1hat, 'there will be no wavering or shadow of turning on the part of the "The existence of lalor unions is due to the denial of justice to working men, and he must be blind to the signs of the times, if he does not see that a continuance of the policy of injustice will give strength to organized labor, which in the end will be absolutely irresistible." The committee presents arg uments at length why their demands should be acceded to. These demands are: Nine hours to constitute a day's work. "Time and half time for all overtime.

"Double time for Sunday and legal holidays. "Pay every two weeks. I "All contract work to be abolished. "Each of the labor organizations to be recognized." Another demand is that the shop at Wayne Junction shall be heated with steam during the winter months, that men shall be under shelter in stormy weather, and every employe working in and about the car shops tshall be allowed a free pass on the Readiwg Railway and its leased lines once a month. As to 1he recognition of labor organizations, the committee says in part: "Labor has been driven to organization.

Maximum hours of labor, minimum wages, million dollar salaries, multi millionaire employers, labor unions and strikes, are all facts that will fall within the domain of social pathology, and are mere manifestations of social disease. The labor union has come, and it will stay, with ever growing strength, until it has" performed its function, and it is in vain to attempt to ignore it." As to the demand for the heating of A WORTHY CHARITY. Meaning of the lass Globes for Col lection of Funds for Free Hospital for Poor Ooimimpti vcf. The "Evening Telegraph has received the following communication, which explains the glass globes seen in many stores in this city: "So many inquiries are being made about the neat littla glass collection globes which are seen standing in prominent places in our city, that if you will allow a few lines of space in your valuable paper, these interested inquirers shall be answered. "It was because that the needs of the Free Hospital for Poor Consumptives in Pennsylvania are so evident, and the work so noble and meritorious, that the interest "already manifested elsewhere in the State, took hold of some of our charitably disposed people, and about twenty little collection globes quickly found lodging places in the hotels, restaurants, offices and stores of Harrisburg "The duty of collecting the contents, which is done once every month, has been confided to two earnest, reliable ladies 'of our town; and thoug the project is yet comparatively new, the results have been most gratifying.

A pleasant and amiable rivalry in the ood work has developed the fact that up to this date the little crystal collector at the Lochiel Hotel is ahead. "Consumption is a long enduring disease. It is a contag ious disease, and being contagious, it is a preventable one.

It is a privilege to join the crusade against the ravages of this 'great white Let the pennies, the dimes and the dollars drop briskly into this attractive collection boxes which are placed so judiciously and of ready access, and the collectors' reports for July will be far and away ahead of June so far as Harrisburg is concerned.

RAILROAOERST the Wayne Junction shop during the winter, the committee says: "Mr. Baer does so much for his horses; why will he not do it for his fellow men? He, with us, professes to be Christian. Has he forgotten the parable of the SamaiS an? There is law higher than that of profits; it is the law of humanity." The committee concludes with a personal reference to Mr. Baer, as follows "We well know that with his salaries drawn from the Reading Railway and affiliated companies, reputed to amount to $100,000, he and the family, so dear to him, will sleep and want for nothing, while we and tho. dear to us may suffer for the time; but when we recall what sacrifices the most valued rights of man have cost in every age and cause we are willing and resolved to make the CREIGHT0N MAY RISE.

If the advancement of General Superintendent of Transxortation Trump to be assistant to General Manager Hutchinson is not made tomorrow, it will be generally inferred that the looked for change has been indefinitely 'postponed. In case Mr. Trump is advanced to morrow it is believed by well informed men that George N. Creighton will succeed him. Mr.

Creighton is now general superintendent of the Buffalo and Allegheny Valley Division of the Pennsylvania. He is a Philadelphian by birlh, 45 years old, and has seen service on many roads of the Pennsylvania system, having begun as rodman. "PENNSY" IN CONTROL. End of the fancy Titles About the 4 ninhriii hlecl Conipnuy. Allied interests of the Pennsylvania Railroad, it is said on ood authority, have acquired control of the Cambria Steel Company.

This closely connects the Pennsylvania with the Cambria Steel in the same way as that railroad is connected with the Pennsylvania Steel. The management of this latest acquisition will be independent of that of the railroad in form at least. Whether this turn of its affairs will make an end of the contemplated transfer of the Cambria to the Concilia ugh Steel Company could not be learned yesterday. The Cambria Steel Company was formed in November, In the following December it virtually purchased the yiroperty and franchises of the Cambria Iron Company, comprising large works, mills and funaces for the production of steel of all kinds at Johnstown. The capital stock is $16,000,000.

The information came in the form of a letter from Mayor Fritchey, in which he enclosed letters from the canal company's officials announcing the abandonment of the canal through the city and notifying the city to remove sewer outlets into the canal within four months. There was also one from Chief Engineer Wier man stating that the discharge of sewage into the canal, which had been abandoned, was interfering with the construction of the Market street subway and requesting removal. Dr. Walter moved that the matter be referred to the city engineer for advice as to the course to pirsue and on motion of Mr.

Calder the city en gineer was asked to give an estimate of the cost of changing the sewers so as to discharge into the Paxton Creek. Superintendent Diehl, of the fire alarm, asked that certain poles be permitted on Market street, near the subway, as they carried fire and po lice department wires, and the letter was referred to the Common Council. Then the bonds of AY F. Martin, con tractor for the Market, street sub way approaches and sewers were read and approved, the Harrisburg Trust Company being surety for $10, 200.

Mr. Jauss presented an ordinance for a sewer in Compass alley, and Mr. Hoverter presented a petition from owners of property on the new partition of Crescent street, asking that the thoroughfare be called Sylvan Terrace. An ordinance accompanied the measure, which went to committee.

The ordinances to tack the ward to the First district supervisor's territory and to. let the street claening by contract were on the calendar for second reading, but no one called them up and they were allowed to slumber. Several measures passed by Common Council two weeks ago were read for the first time and passed. On motion of Mr. Jauss the fire chief was authorized to buy 300 feet of chemical hose for the Washington Company.

Dotcor blamed those who stood for a low tax rate for being the cause of the lack of funds for the repairs, which he asserUel weie. known to have been needed last, spring. Mr. Moeslein objected to the amount required and Mr. Calder said one engine ought to be re'iainied for.

pumping purposes. Mr. Calder also rapped Dr. Walter for his objection to the measure to increase the debt, which he said was part of the reason that the city's cash box was not very full. The Fourth warder pleaded for repairs as lives mighff be jeopardized, if the truck was not ready in emergency.

Mr. Hoverter took up. the fight again and sa.id if Council' delayed it would be ten years before the truck was repaired and the city needed protection. Dr. Walter then put in resolution that the Fire Chief sell the old engines and use the.

vroceeds for repair of the truck. This was passed and so was the Hoverter resolution. In Common Council there was nr opposition to either measure and the resolutions will go to the Mayor this afternoon. TO SOLICITOR Danphin oiinly Telephone Company's lioiul l'rcNciiK'd.
