CLEVELAND CARS STONEDANDMOBBEB

Imported Motorluen and Conductors
Roughly Handled In Spite of P0-
lice Protection—A Torpedo Ex-
plosion Nearly Del-ails a Car.

CLEVELAND, June 17.——After a
quiet morning yesterday rioting on the
part of sympathize1s with the street rail-
103d str'ike1s broke out about noon in va-
l'lCllS sections of the city.

The first outbreak occurred at the cor-
ner of Clark avenue and Pearl street,
when the street railway company sent a
car from Lake View filled with nonunion
employees and guarded by a force of po-
licenien to attempt to operate the Holm-
den avenue line. The south siders did not
take kindly to the imported motormen
and conductors, and bricks, stones and
eggs were hurled at the car. The win-
dows in the car were smashed, and the
nonunion men rushed out and joined,the
strikers. One of them, who was struck
'1'.1 the face with a brick, fainted. Two
:11'1'ests were made by the police.

Shortly after noon girls employed in
factories in the wholesale mercantile dis-
trict held up a Euclid avenue car at the
corner of_ Superior and Bank streets.
After making it unpleasant for the mo-
torman and conductor the girls drew
back and men and boys hurled missiles
at the car. A number of arrests were
ma de. -

An outb1eal1 also occurred on Pe1kins
a1c11ue and the Cle1el and and Pittsburg
railway crossing, where cars were ob-
structed.

A little after 2 o‘clock in the afternoon
a \Vilson avenue cross town car struck
and exploded a torpedo which had been
laid on the rail near the corner of “’11-
son and Sixth avenues. The car was
nearly blown from the track, so great
was the force of the explos10n. Flames
burst through the floor of the car immedi-
ately after, but were soon extinguished.
There were 110 passengers on heard.

On the track the police found the re-
mains of the torpedo, consisting of two
pieces of tin with a wad of pape1 wedged
between them. The f1agments were tak—

_ en to the Fourth precinct police station.

OF NEW YORK.

PRICES STILL RISING.

iron and, Wheat, Because of Scarcity, ,

Tend Upward—Few Failures. I

NEW YORK, June 17.—R. G. Du‘n & l
CO.’s weekly review of trade says:

It is one of the frequent paradoxes of
business that the one thing which now
makes prices rise is the only thing that
clouds the future. They rise in iron and
wheat because scarcity is feared, but the
scarcity, if prolonged and real, would
much impair prOsperity. In wheat it does
not seem to be real, nor in iron lasting
and meanwhile other elements of pros-
perity continue potent.

With more furnaces going into blast,
ten last month, production will overtake
the demand afte1 a time, and the largest
buyers of finished products for imple-
ments and car works and railroads are
taking nothing to cover next year’s needs.

Wheat reports by government seem to
mean just what anybody wants them to
mean, but the Produce Exchange inter-
pretation of the-J1me repprt, 568,000,000
bushels, means no greater decrease in
yield than may be beneficial, both to
growers and consumers. With probable
additions to stock from the last crop it
would provide for exports of nearly 200,-
000,000 bushels, and foreign prospects,
though by no means wholly cheering,
scarcely warrant expectation of a de—
mand as large.

The price has risen 31/3 cents, but much

 

of 10,202,189 bushels in two weeks
against 2,684, 521 last year dis01edit
short crop 1eports, and foreign expd’rts.
4,582,313 bushels, flour included, against
8,655,684 last year, do not indicate great
needs abroad. Corn exports are better
sustained than wheat, 5,812,959 bushels
in two weeks against 7,797,241 last
year, and the price has been steady.

Failures for the week have been 136 in
the United States, against 233 last
year, and 18 in Canada, against 20 last
year.

I'ittsburg Miners Fail to Agree.

PITTSBURG. June 17.—The Pitts-
burg district miners, who have been in
Conference for two days to settle the'
question of differential between the thick
and the thin vein scales, have failed to
reach a conclusion. At the earlier con-
ference between the operators and min-
ers it was decided to leave the settlement
of the question to the miners’ district ex- ~
ecutive board, its decision to be final.
Th:- conference has passeda resolution
to defer the matter until July 20, when
another convention will be held.

A Settlement Probable.
DENVER, June 17.—The‘ outlook is
now favorable for an early resumption of
work at all the trust smelters, which
have. been shut down since \Vednesday,
bringing enforced idleness to thousands
of miners and railroad employees and
threateninggreat injury _to all the indus-
tries of the state. Steps have been taken
which will probably lead to a conference
between James B. Grant, chairman of
the operating committee of the American
Smelting and Refining company, and a

committee of the smelters’ union.

ACCESSORIES 0F WORSHIP.

The Manner in \Vhich Incense, Belle:
and Offerings Began to
Be Used.

 

 

 

The use of incense in churches; was
forbidden as a heathen custom till the
fifth century. The use of holy water
was equally denounced asa practice of
the pagan priests of Rome and of the
ritual of Isis. The asperging of Julian
in Gaul by a. priest is peihaps the ear—
liest instance of the introduction of
this corruption, which became a source
of superstition. in the fifth centUrv,
says Blackwood’s Magazine. The 11-011-
tier—'11 orking p011 er of the relics of mar-
tyrs began to be belie1ed 1011 ard the
close of the fourth century And almost
immediately after we find complaint
made of the sale of forged relics, both
in the east and in the west.

The sale of relics was forbidden by
Theodosius, yet. they constantly inm
creased in numbers and in importance
until the holy table was converted ‘into-
an 111111.1- to hold them. In the. fifth ecu—-
tury also ex voto offerings began to be
hung on church walls—a custom which
was of heathen origin. The use of
lights, which, as above said, was for-
hidden in the second century in the
daytime, crept in in the fifth century.
The Mithraic altars had much earlier
sup-ported candles, but these may have
become necessary in underground
chapels. Jerome wrote that it was
slanderous to say that wax tapers were
learned "in clear light,” but Paulin-us
in 307 A. D., so decorated his
church on festivals.

 

 

Pathos in Poland.

What is sadder, says the New York
Times, than the way in which the Poles
'of Polish Russia were- forced to greet-
the coming centenary of their great.-
poet, Mickiewicz. They were permitted
to give money for the erection of amon-
ument which was to keep alive the
memory of Mickiewicz, butwere not al-
lowed to print or mention inany Way
his name. The day the monument. was
unveiled speeches were prohibited. and
no applause was heard. What the
crov'vd did when the monument was
seen was to keep a dead silence. but
every head was uncovered.
