SCHLEY COUNTY ENTERPRISE. A. J. HARP, Publisher. A CAR DRIVERS' STRIKE. Pnurijai, NCR nek or violence in NEW YORK CITY. tn Arm* of Policemen In I led Upon to Ah| In ttnnnlnu n for. Unusual scenes of violence and disorder followed a strike of car-drivers in New York tho other day for a reduction in the hours of lalior. The company refused the men’s de- mauds, but in order to save its charter from being taken away it was obliged to run at jeast one car a day over its route, Tho attempt to run this car aud tho efforts of the strikers and their friends, aided by the Knights of Labor, to prevent the trip from being made, resulted in the po¬ lice being called out, and much disorder fol¬ lowed. A summary of the trouble is given by a New York paper as follows: Since 4 o’clock on Tuesday morning last the employes of the Dry Dock, East Broad¬ way and Battery Street Car company—the company that operates the line on Grand street, from river to river, across the city- have been on strike. It is the most general of any of the street car strikes in the outside history of the city. Every employe, of the office itself, of the company— from conductors down to water-boy—stopped work at the word, 750 in all. For the two had days full preceding of yesterday the strik-rs lame possession the road. On Tues¬ day a but attempt w as made to send a car across, the strikers drove it back into the stables. On Wednesday the company tried to force a way through the obstructions heaped >usand by the strikers upon the tracks, but a th men put themselves along the due, overturned the car, and, in spite of the police compelled the company to give up the ef¬ fort. Tuesday night there was a conference be¬ tween State Railroad Commissioner Iveman and the officials of the road. Finally Com¬ missioner Kernan gave it as his ultimatum that the company must run at least one car a day charter. along If its they line or forfeit its were prevented by mob violence from doing so then the city au¬ thorities, the company holds, are responsi¬ ble for the failure aad its consequences—in¬ cluding bona consequential damages. The appar¬ ently frustrated by fide violence. effort of W Yesterday ednesday was the police were massed iu great force along the line of the road, and one car was run from the East to the North river aud back again. A hundred or more cars of other street lines had been takeu from their >V\ II cracks by the strikers, and overturned at in¬ tervals along the Grand street line; as many more trucks, drays, brewery wagons and carts were likewise used as ob- structions, and these, with loads of brick, coal and ashes dumped by the strikers along the line, the police had to re¬ move before the one car could complete its trip. Police Superintendent Murray had a small army of 900 policemen did the work. Along the street there was a good deal of riotous conduct and the police had to do some clubbing, But there was no serious trouble and no one was seriously hurt. The strikers themselves were not very violent; the im¬ mense crowd of idlers and lookers-on was in the main good Matured and the police ware remarkably cool but determined, kept well in hand by the new chief. .After the car had been returned to the stables t he many platoons of police were or¬ dered back to their stations,a few only bein;j left to guard the buildings of the railroad company, and the great crowds that had watched the slow pro -ession across the city and back again quietly dispersed. There was no dis rder last night. Late in the evening the executive board of the Empire their Protective associations, which in¬ clude in membership practically all the employes in this city of all aud the Brooklyn, street car and companies the" which are assemblies of workingmen’s organization known as the Knights of I oilier, ordered a genenal “lay This off ’ on every taken railroad in the two cities. step was avow¬ edly with the intention of forcing the Grand street company to a‘cede to the demands of its striking employee .

An El Paso (Texas) dispatch says: A freight train on tho Mexican Centra 1 railroad in charge of Conductor Nai l bound north, was ditched and robbed at Kilometre, north of San Francisco station, on Tuesday night .by a I >and of sixty Mexican outlaws. The train con- sistefl of seven care, which were all ditched. The outlaws first roblied all the train hands, then stripped them of their clothing ami tied their hands behind them, and iu this condition the men walked into San Fran¬ cisco station. No one, however, was hurt. The cars were broken open and fl large amount of freight was taken by the robbers, in search of whom troops are now scouring the country. It is believed that the outrage was committed by the same band which some time ago robbed a stage in the State of Zacatecas. There were in the stage, beside the driver, three men and one young woman, all belong¬ ing to the best families of Chihuahua. The outlaws robbed them of their valuables and every particle, of clothing, aud in that condition allowed them to proceed in the stage.

CHARLEY’S TOOTHACHE, A young newly-married Denver man went to his home on Welton street, the other night, taking with him a severe case of toothache. As soon as he got into the house he threw himself into an easy chair and began to groan. At about the same time his face on the side where the aching tooth had many years before attained a homestead began to swell. In about thirty minutes his left cbeek bore a strong resmbiance to an old-fashioned apple dumpling prepared by the hands of a generous mother for a large fami¬ ly. The more the jaw enlarged the louder the young man howled and rolled about in his chair. His wife was several years younger than he, and her sole exper ence wi$h the tooth¬ ache had hitherto been limited to one or two mild attacks caused by an ex¬ cessive consumption of caramels. She had usually cured her pain with creo¬ sote, and so soon as Charley had found time between his groans to tell her what, was the matter with him she got the creosote bottle and told him to open his mouth and let her see the tooth which was troubling him. He complied, but as she could not tell by the looks which one of the teeth was making the trouble, and as Charley could not enlighten her, she thought that she’d better pour a little of the stuff into the neighborhood of where she thought it probable that the tooth was located. Just as she got this idea into her head she happened to think that there was another toothache panacea in the house, it was in a small phial which a peddler had left there for trial. She thought that it would be a good plan to mix a little of this stuff with creosote, and put the mixture on the infected jaw. So she made a nice lit¬ tle combination in a tablespoon, and telling Charley to open his mouth she poured it in. She was a little excited and nervous, and her hand shook and so the fluid penetrated to every nook and corner of the young man’s food receptacle. There was a yell of agony which awoke every 8og in the neigh¬ borhood, and Charley performed a hornpipe in the middle of the floor, and accompanied it with a series of words, the majority of which his wife had never heard before. It was an hour before Charley got quieted sufficiently to sit down, and about that time a lady neighbor ven¬ tured in to ask if they had sickness in the family. She was told of the afflic¬ tion which had overtaken Charley, and she was all sympathy at once. She £ad suffered just so herself, and the only way to cure the trouble was by making cold applications upon the outside of the cheek. So she went home, and Charley’s wife made a neat little bag and filled it with chopped ice, and then tied it on his face with a Jong red stocking. This had the effect of changing the nature of the pain and make Charley feel as though he was having needles thrust into his brain. He could feel the hair stand right up on the top of his head, and his eyes protruded from their sockets to such an extent that his wife thought Char¬ ley was going crazy. Pretty soon the ice began to melt and to drip down upon Charley’s shirt bosom, and to meander around his col¬ lar and course slowly down his spine, and Charley iu his delirium felt as though he had been fishing and fallen overboard. Then he began to pace up and down the room and kick the foot¬ stool, and stare out of the windows, and look unkindly at the cat; and just at this juncture a friend of Charley and Mrs. Charley arrived. His name was Arthur, and he had been a drug clerk before he became a dude, and in consequence his most intimate friends ail call him “Doctor.” ! He was much interested when he found how his friend was suffering. smiled superior smile whon i and he a Charley's wife explained what she had done for him. What was needed, he said, was a counter-irritant, The teeth and the Interior of the mouth were Inflamed, and there was un¬ doubtedly fever there. A hot plaster of some kind on the outside would be just the thing. Tie said that If Char¬ ley's wife would get him the materials he would prepare something which would ease the pain almost Immediate- iy- all went to tho kitchen and So they Arthur turned back his cuffs and be- gan to work. First he ripped open the baji which had contained the Ice and laid it out flat Then he put on a coating of mustard and moistened it with hot water. Then he put on a layer of red pepper and then sprinkled the whole with water so that it made a nice thick paste. He tied that upon Charley’s face and then put a bandage soaked with hot water over that, and then tied the red stocking on once more. Then he went home and Char- ley went to bed. During a period of about twenty minutes after Arthur had bowed him* self out Charley howled, swore, danced and he stood upon his head. His wife at first asked him “if it ached worse.” Then she didn’t dare get within speak¬ ing distance of him, until in a mo¬ ment of wild frenzy he tore the plas¬ ter from his face and dashed it at a picture of “Two Cherubs,” which was hanging upon the wall. Then Charley fainted, and she had a chance to look at his face. There was the swelling, the mustard, the pepper and a two days’ beard all mixed to- gether. The removal of the plaster had also caused the secession of a con- siderable section of cuticle, and, take it altogether, it did not look like the same face which Charley’s wife used to think “too sweet for anything.” She thought that his face must be sore, and she remembered that once when she was a little girl she burned her finger one day and her mother put cold molasses on the injured mem¬ ber and that took the pain away. 80 she took the syrup pitcher and poured its contents on Charley’s face. Two ladies who lived down the block called just then to see who had been injured in the house, as they had thought they had heard some one groan there. One of these, when she found out the cause of the trouble, said that sweet oil and lime water was good for burns. She had some all prepared at home, and she kindly offered to go and get it. While she was gone the old lady thought that flour was good for burns, so they threw a handful of breadstuff upon the molasses. Then the other lady came with the sweet oil and lime- water mixture, and they poured that on. Just then the family washer- woman called to see if they wanted to have their washing done the following day. As Charley seemed "to suffer some pain,” they asked the washer- woman, who was old and Irish, and they thought ought to be wise, as to what to do. She said that “blueing” was the best thing In the world, and so they added another color to Char- ley 8 f ,r ?' ..

He Enjoyed the Trip. “Have I ever been to Yurrip?” ex¬ claimed the middle-aged and bald-head- ed passenger; “should say I had. Half a dozen times. Like it? Rather. ’Tain’t so much Y urrip I care for as the ocean voyages. How i do love those ocean trips, though!” “Don’t you get sea-sick ?” “Sea-sick? I shou.d say I did. Why, I just lie in my berth five days out of the eight and hope the ship will sink in ten miles of water. There seems to be a whole slaughter house inside of me. I feel like a sick egg. But I enjoy it, all the same, you bet.” “Enjoy a voyage under such ciroum- stances? How do you make that out?” “Well, you see, my wife she’s al- ways along with me. She gets sick, too—sicker’nldo. I11 fact, she gets so awful sick that she can’t talk till after we’ve anchored on the other side, and if I were to try for a week I couldn’t tell you what blessed days of relief they are for me .”—frhicayo Herald.

Death cannot take the memories Of those we lore and cherish; Their frames, which in the dust we lay, To dust may erumble and decay, Yet with us they themselves do stay} They do net, cannot perish. How potent are thy memories I They make blest bond ot union; For oft belore onr gladsome eyes The sweet familiar lorras arise, And dearly do we lore and prize Those moments of communion. Immortal are the memories Of those whom death ha* taken; We seo them, hear them, have them alfllt Command their pretence at our will, The chambers of our heart* they fill, They have not u* forsaken. —It.

Dr. Wm. MacDonald, says in the London Lancet: That ancient ami pious father of the church, Terlullian designated shaving as a blasphemy against the church. It may surprise not a few when I say that there can no longer be a doubt that the bron- chitic affections under which ministers of the gospel so frequently labor are often due to the violation of hygienic Jaw. The fact that the Creator plant- ed a beard on the face of the human male, thus making it a law of his physical being, indicates in a languagt not to be misunderstood that the dis- tinctive appendage was bestowed foi the purpose of being worn. Besides, the Levitical law is just as explicit in forbidding the shaving ol the head, except in cases of disease, as in the requirement—“Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.” More¬ over, physically considered, these views are corroborated by experience: for disease of the throat have in numerous instances been traced directly to the shaving of the beard, the liability dis¬ appearing with its growth, and vice versa. Let all our ministers, then, disregarding fashion, wear beards; for the Bible and nature are in favor of it.
