A Ten Thousand Dollar Offlolal
Switching Oars.
The Engineers and Firemen Fall to Strike
Bora Freight Moving and rack
lug Uoue ttnnulng rolloo
on Hand.
CmcAOo, Aug. 28. The Alton switch
men arc still out and freight is fast ac
cumulating in thoir yards. At Brighton
there are &00 loaded cars bound for the
city. There is no sign of any conces
sion on tho part of the railroad com
pany. At a joint meeting of Alton
brakemen, engineers and firemen yes
terday afternoon' the action of the
switchmen in striking was condemned.
General Manager Chappoll, of the
Chicago & Alton,' is determined to fight
the switchmen's strike out, and to this
end went personally into tho switch
yards yesterday morning and proposed
to earn his 810,000 a year salary by
turning switches and coupling cars
The firemen and engineers decided not
to go out In support of tho swltchmon
as it had been intimated they might da
The flroraen were anxious to do so but
wiser counsel prevailed, even the strik
ing switchmen opposing tuch a move.
Later in the day a number of non-union
switchmen were secured and set to
work under police protection.
The goneral managers of all roads en
tering Chicago were in continuous ses
sion nearly all day discussing the strike
of the Stock Yards Switching Associa
tion in all its phases. The most positive
action taken during the day was the
adoption of two resolutions touching
kindred subject The first declared
that under no circumstances would the
demands of the striking switchmen for
increased pay be granted and the sec
ond re-emphasized tho action of Mon
day dissolving tho Switching Associa
tion. As the roads are to do thoir own
" switching considerable time was con
sumed in the discussion and adoption
of certain needful regulations to con
trol the interchange of freight traffic.
To avoid confusion and complication in
the yards on tho questions of prece
dence it was resolved that the executive
board of the general managers should
have full and complete control of the
switching and settle all disputes be
tween tho roads as to precedence or
right of way over tho switches.
Before adjourning the general man
agers adopted a resolution directing
that all employes of tho old association,
engineers and flremon as well os switch
'men, bo paid off, but that tho various
'roads be recommended to re-employ as
many of the old employes as they might
desire. There is little doubt all tho
engineers and firemen will bo re-employed
and probably niar.y of the switch
men also if the latter care to return tc
work.
At the stock yards, while business
was not at a standstill, operations were
not being conducted with their former
facility. Tho Michigan Central took on
a train of thirty cars of dressed beef for
Swift which had been standing in the
yards slnco last Friday. The Baltimore
&. Ohio, Lake Shore, Fort Wayno and
the Illinois Central all have engines
there which are manned by officials, ex
cept those of the Lake Shore, which
had their regular crews. All the pack
ing houses were killing yesterday.
The striking switchmen are marking
every car that goes out of the yards
with private marks to indicate that it is
scab" freight, and they claim to be
lieve that it will not be handled by the
regular mon of the various roads. Thus
far, however, there has been no trouble
in the down town yards. Tho men aro
all working except those on the Ch'cago
A Alton, whose strike has no relation
to the stock yards affair.
At one o'clock thirteen engines were
at work in tho yards handling about all
the goods that the shippers cared to
move. The engines belonged to the
Fort Wayne, Northwestern, Milwaukee
& St Paul, Baltlmoro & Ohio, Illinois
Central, Pan Handle, Michigan Central
and Lake Shore roads. In many in
stances the engines wore manned by the
officials of the several roads.
Chairman Heed, of the strikers' griev
ance committee, said: 'The companies
doing business in the stock yards have
made a proposition to us to go back to
work under the old scale of wages and
for all over time work to receive night
wages."
This statement is denied by the rail
road officials, who claim that they have
made no such proposition, but that they
believe the switchmen would be quite
willing to receive one of the character
mentioned.
An engine of the Baltimore & Ohio
entered the yards yesterday afternoon
to remove some loaded cars and while
making connections. the Baltimore &
Ohio switchmen quit work and aban
doned the yards. A large force of
police are on the grounds and the best
of order and apparent good feeling pre-Tails;
METALIVOROUS SHRUBS.
A riant That Thrive on Coppor Colnl
and Old Tin Fan.
Prof. Scbelwisoh, the well-knowa
naturalist of Bavaria, while traveling
with the Stanley expedition in the
boart of Africa, notiood a plant with a
peculiar steel-colored foliage, and on
examination it was found that the shrub.
although growing like other plants from
the soil, was practically composed of
iron. The leaves, although very thin,
were bent with groat difficulty, and the
twigs and branches resisted pressure
with a force about equal to the same
amount of iron, and to secure a leaf it
was found necessary to separate it from
the bush with a file.
While Prof. Schelwisch was digging at
the base of this plant for the purpose of
making an examination of its roots, the
natives crowded around him in great
numbers, gesticulating in a menacing
manner. The Professor doslsted from
his work and the interpreter was sent
for. He explained that this was a holy
tree, and worshiped by the natives in
thoir fotlch religion as a god plant, ana
that to dig one up would bring ruin and
dosolation upon the whole village and
surrounding country.
Prof. Schelwisch offered to buy the
plant, and, taking out a handful of cop
per coins, gave them to the savages,
who gladly accepted the money and
distributed it among themselves. The
Professor then returned to the work of
digging up the unique plant, but bad
not made any great progress when ths
natives again set upon him. Through
the interpreter the Professor informed
them that he had legally bought ths
plant and intended to remove it At
toon as this mossage was made known
to the savages every one who had re
ceived a coin came and dropped it in
the hole at tho baso of the shrub. Prof.
Schelwisch allowed the coins to remain
in the hole and walked away toward the
mountain to hunt another specimen.
Next day, as the party were preparing
to continue the march, the Professor
was curious to know if the coins had re
mained undisturbed during the night
by tho superstitious natives, and on ap
proaching the metal plant was aston
ished to find it had changed its color
completely. Instead of being a beauti
ful steel color, the stem, leaves and
what was exposed of the roots presented
the appearance of newly-coined copper
coins, and glittered in the morning sun
litrht like polished gold. Upon exam
ination it was ascertained that during
the night the strange plant had ab
sorbed nearly all the copper coins, with
the result of completely changing its
color.
What was left of the coins in tho hole
showed that they were mere than half
eaten away or absorbed by the roots of
the metal plant Not only was the
color changed, but the texture of the
plant had undcrgono a similar transfor
mation. It was found that the thin ivy
shaped loaves were now easily bent
around the fingers, would retain any
shape given, and could be readily cut
with any ordinary pair of scissors.
Prof. Schelwisch succeeded in surrepti
tiously securing several branches of this
wondorful metal eating plant and was
also successful in obtaining a good
photograph of it No further trace of
the existence of the metal plant was
found until tho expedition reached tho
Uniamcsi country, when at the baso of
the Nkomabakosl Mountains a perfect
forest of this curious plant was found.
This being an uninhabited region, no
difficulty was encountered in securing
specimens to take back to England.
A trreat fire was built about the tree,
but it would not burn the least little
bit Philadelphia Times.

Smith's Tonle Syrup.
This famous remedy was discovered by
the eminent Dr. John Bull, of Louisville,
Ky. It Is intended as a scientific substitute
for quinine, and is rnpldly superseding the
use of this drug. For any ailment that may
indicate a need of quinine, Huikh's Tonio
Byrup may be prescribed in preference and
with more satisfactory results, as it never
leaves any unpleasant after-effects, such as
fullness of the head, headache, buzzing In
tho ears, deafness, uneasy or aching seasa
tions, nausea, convulsions, paralysis, etc.
It has all the jrood medicinal qualities of
quinine and is iroe zrom its many evil ten

with such certainty of beneficial effects. It
