THE STRIKE ENDED.
THE ESOINEEnS REFUSED TO GO OCT AJiD
THE KSIGIITS ARE DEFEATED.
A dispatch of Tuesday, from New
York, says: At the grand Central depot
this morning there no longer existed even
the semblance of a strike. Passenger
trains were coming in and going out
with all the appearance of usual regular¬
ity, the inflow and outflow of passengers
being as great as ever, and excepting for
the presence of an unusual number of po¬
licemen idly standing about the various
entrances of the depot, the most careful
observer would be unable to perceive tie-up that any
lingering indications of the
on Friday night threatened to be so for¬
midable.

THE RAVAGES OF THE BUFFALO-BUG.
It is found that few of the usual pre¬
ventives are of any use against the at¬
tacks of this beetle, and for this reason
it is a difficult pest to eradicate. Iu some
places it has proved so destructive that
carpets have to be dispensed with, and
in their place mgs are used, as being
more conveniently examined.
Tallow or tallowed paper placed around
;he edges of the carpet, which are often
the parts first attacked, is said to be ef¬
fectual. In many cases the carpets are
eut, as if with a scissors, following the
Sine of the seams in the floor, and as a
remedy for this it has been recommended
that the seams be filled during the win¬
ter with cotton saturated with benzine.
Kerosene, naphtha or gasoline are offen-
five to the beetle as well as benzine, but
benzine is perhaps the simplest aud safest
preventive in use, le can foe poured
from a tin can having a very small spout,
it being necessary to use but little.
Before tacking down a carpet it should
be thoroughly examined, and if possible
stcoiped* .If 3r spite oLjirec-pitious 8
carpet is found infested, u wet cloth can
fe spread down along the edges, and a
hot iron passed over it, the steam thus
generated not only killing the beetles
and larvtE, but destroying any eggs that
may have been laid. Clothing is some¬
times attacked as well as objects of
natural history—such as stuffed birds and
mammals.
It was believed that the beetle must
feed on some plant, for in a number of
cases it was captured out of doors, and it
was finally discovered feeding on the
pollen of the flowers of spiraeas, the bee¬
tle living on the plant for a while and
then returning to the house to lay its
eggs. When this was proved, it was
suggested that spiraeas should be planted
around houses infested by the beetle; by
doing this the plants could be often ex¬
amined and the beetles destroyed.— Pop¬
ular Science Monthly.
RECIPES.
Sardine Salad — Use a cupful ol
chopped sardines, free from bones, to a
pint bowl of lettuce or sliced cucumbers;
season with salt, pepper, a little mustard
and vinegar, and serve the salad as soon
as it is made, because the lettuce begins
to wilt directly it is dressed with salt and
vinegar.
Lyonnaise Potatoes—Slice cold-boiled
potatoes into neat rounds; cut a medium¬
sized onion into thin slices, aud put it
with a good tablespoonful of butter or
bacon dripping into the frying-pan; when
the onion is colored, add the potatoes,
about two cujifuls, aud stir them about
until they are a light brown. Strew with
chopped parsley, and serve.
Cold Chicken Wings—The wings, and
drumsticks, necks, livers, hearts,
gizzards of a pair of chickens, with any
good portions remaining from the first
service, make au excellent dish for cold
use. The pieces are first to be boiled in
enough water to cover them, with a pala¬
table seasoning of salt and pepper, until
tender; then each piece is to be rolled in
cracker meal, dipped in beaten egg,
again rolled in cracker dust, aud fried in
plenty of hot fat like doughnuts.
Peach Meringue—Use fresh eggs and
ripe peaches peeled with a silver knife,
cutting them in halves. Beat the whites
of the eggs to a stiff froth; gently mix
in a heaping tablespoonful for each egg
of XXX sugar, sifted free from lumps,
and smoothly blend it with the beaten
whites. Lay the peaches on a soufflepan
or a platter which withstand oven heat,
heap the meringue over each, and quickly
brown the surface in a moderate oven. If
a crisp, sugary surface is desired, lightly
dust *ver it a little powdered sugar be-
rore browning it. The surface of the
meringue should indicate the little
mounds of fruit under it. If properly
made with ripe peaches the dish is de-

A HORRIBLE STORY.
A CAPTIVE FORCED TO EAT niS OWN FLESH
DY REBEL ARABS.
The following dispatch was received
at London, Monday: “An engagement rebel
has taken place between a force of
Arabs and the army of the sultan oi
Morocco. One hundred and twenty
prisoners were captured by the rebels.
Thev were all massacred. Among the
captives was a son of the governor of
the province in which the rising took
place. Portions of his body were cut off
while he was alive, and roosted. He was
then compelled to eat his own flesh. *
TTTE SITUATION MONDAY.
Whatever way one might look at the
situation all through the night and early
Monday morning, it looked as though
the strike on the New York Central road
was slowly but surely petering out. Nev¬
ertheless, both parties to the blockade of
the passeuger and freight tralfic were, so
far As words went, at all events, as stub¬
born as ever. Allis quiet in Syracuse.
The trouble is being confined to the yards
at East Syracuse, which seems to be tha
present key to the situation.
The status on the Central road at Buf¬
falo is unchanged. The strikers are few
in number and keeping very quiet.
Trains from the cast are coming in several New
hours late. Representatives of the
York Central Railroad Company are in
Chicago hiring men to take the places of
the striking switchmen and brakemen.
A gang of fifty recruits was forwarded to
Buffalo Saturday night, and another lot
was sent Monday morning. switchmen They are
promised $70 per month for
and $05 for brakemen, an advance of $15
and $10 respectively "ver the woigcs rul¬
ing for those classes of men on that road.
The Pinkerton agency has also received
au order for a large number of men to act
as guards at various points along the line
of the road.
MUST FIGHT THEIR OWN BATTLE.
Gra d Master Sweeny, of the Switch¬
man’s Brotherhood, says he will not cull
out the switchmen on the Michigan Cen¬
tral aud Lake Shore roads to assist the
strikers on the New York Central. He
says it is purely a Knights of Labor strike,
and that they will have to fight it out as
best they may. <The same feeling seeing
to prevail among the brakemen.
