Screams were heard on the lake soon
after, but their friends on the dock
supposed the young men wero simply
trying to frighten the young lady and
never dreamed of the true condition.
Alarmed by tho long absence of
the party, a boat was secured and the
searching party went out, but found
nothing. At daylight Monday morning
the boat was found upturned not a
hundred yards from shallow water,
and tho threo dead bodies were drag
ged from beneath the boat.

Most Complete Tie-up In Its Esrly
Stages In the History of New York.
Strike Breskers Are Housed In Csr
Barns—Sympathetic 8tr!ke May Be
Ordered.
New York, March 7.—The strlko by
5,000 employes of tho Interborough
Rapid Transit Company, operating the
subway and Manhattan railroad ele
vated linos of this city, which took
effect at 4 o'clock this morning, was
one of the most complete in Its early
stages of any In the history of New
York. Many ticket sellers remained
at their post becauso they are under
bond, but posted signs announcing
tho strike, and refused to sell tickets.
The strike breakers were housed lnj
the barns last night.
8trlke Breakers to the Rescue.
For the first few hours after 1
Inauguration of tho strike not a win
was tinned, but strike breakers w<
rushed to tho linos to handle thy
morning crowds. A portion of tho
traffic was cared for. and this helped
to relieve tho enormous tax on the
traffic lines. Up to noon no serious
accident has been reported. The stri
kers, It Is said, have won over a large
number of the men present.
The trouble started two weeks ago,
when the employes declared the Inter
borough officials agreed upon a cer
tain schedule to replace the one which
was to expire last Wednesday. When
Wednesday came, the union officials
declare, the schedule was not ac
cepted.
B. May, vice-president of the
Amalgamated Association of Electric
and Street Railway Employes, In a
statement Issued this afternoon, said'
action would bo taken at once to call
out tho members of tho Engineers’
and Firemen’s Electric and Eccentric
Union, who are employed in the pow-j
er houses of the subway.
“When this union Is called out,”
said tho statement, "It will mean a I
complete tto-up of tho suhway sys
tem." •
Strike Not Sanctioned.
President W. D. Mahon, of the
Amalgamated Association of Electric
and Street Railway Employes cf
America, sold tho strike hadi not been
sanctioned by the national organiza
tion, and tho strikers could not look
to the national association for finan
cial support.
