4 THE WAYCROSS HERALD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1S93. IN. Stories of Suffering That Come from the Country. PHILADELPHIA'S FIFTY THOUSAND CLIMBING THE POLE. Baltimore I i In Xe-irty n» Itad State of De- p motion amt Chicago Say* That More Than a Thouvuirt Actors and Actrcuri Alone Are l>c»tUut3 and Are SulTerinK for Ni CfMwiej of Life. Philadelphia, Dec. 28.—The Intest reliable estimate of the number of Phila delphia working people who are now out of employment places tho figures at 50,000. This calculation is based upon a house to house canvass made by the police for tho information of tho citizens’ perma nent relief committee and a supplement ary investigation in the great mill dis tricts just completed by representatives of tho committee itself. All tho mill and factory owners have been inter viewed personally, and the statistics thus obtained compared with the hoi^se to house reports of the police. In this city, according to tho latest ac tual census, the normal force of em ployes—men, women and youths—di rectly engaged in productive industries is over 4UO.OOU—a vast industrial force, unequalled in its proportion to popula tion by any other city in the country. Of this number 300,000 depend lor occu pation upon the textile and rclatod trades. Tho mill owners thomsc-ivcs say that any resumption of work this winter must bo of tho Epasmodic description, tho temporary result of occasional or ders. Lorin Blodgett, the veteran statisti cian, who has in tho past 60 years taken many a census for city and state author ities, made a special canvass of the tex tile manufacturing districts this winter, the result, of his labors agreeing substan tially with the ostimatoi of tho police and tho citizens’ permanent relief com mittee. In the irou manufacturing and ullied industries, nine-tenths of tho employes, or about 18,000, have been thrown out of work, the only activity in this lino bo- ing the result of government orders at Cramps’ shipyards. In the building trades a third of tho force usually em ployed at this time is idle- Off the gar ment workers, more than half are out. The situation is reflected in tho greater Rome, Ga., Da*?. 2 .—A negro man named Johnson White, while climbing a greasy pole on upper Broad street, had lxls right eye shot out by a Roman can dle ball and his hands severely burned. Hanging suspended to a cross piece at the end of a pole some 20 feet high were several packages of fire crackers, one box of cigars and a quart bottle of whisky, all of which would lie given to any one who would climb the greased pole and bring them to the ground. White covered his clothing with a thick coating of tar and proceeded to undertake the hazardous task of captur ing tho coveted prizes. He was the tar get for hundreds of Roman candles in the hands of the small boy, but with stood tho fiery ordeal till the several packages were secured and brought safe ly to the ground. While descending tho greasy treo a hall from one of the can dles found its way into his eye, tearing tho organ from his head. Now is the Time to Make Your SELECTION FOB KUOtf GIFTS.

SERIOUS CUTTING SCRAPE. , An Atlanta Man Got Hit Throat Cut in Madison. N Madison, Ga., Dec. 28.—A serious cutting scrape occurred here, in which Mr. II. C. Hanson, of Atlanta, was bad ly cut. Ho was questioning Gaz Vason about somo misunderstanding between Vason and Hanson’s son, when Vason made somo remark that caused Hanson to strike him with his cane, upon which Vasou whipped out a knife and cut an ugly place in Sir. Hanson’s neck, al most severing both jugular veins. Ho was carried into a drug store and attonded to, then later removed to the hotel, where he lives with his family. At last accounts his physician pronoun ced him out of danger, though in a pre carious condition and suffering some what. Vasan has skipped. Blassacrotl by Matabeles.

Baltimore, Dec. 28.—Besides the caases of industrial depression prevail ing throughout tho country there are additional local ones in Baltimore which are bringing destitution to the homes of workingmen and making the burdens of the charitable associations unusually heavy. For tho past five or six years a large number of extensive publio and corpo rate improvements, involving the outlay of millions and the employment of thou sands of workingmen, have been under way. Most of these are now completed. The people of the city seem thorough ly alive to tho fact that tho problem of the unemployed this winter will be moro difficult than ever before. Fortunately there is perfect unity among tho charity organizations who are receiving the co operation of the police and the mayor. These Txxlies, at a recent general confer ence, organized a central relief commit tee meant to focus all their efforts to the pressing necessity. It is estimated by the leaders of the labor organizations and by State Statistician A. B. Howard that one third of the laboring and poor er classes are out of employment and havo been for months. In. some cases these people earn a pittance of their for mer wages by working short hours, but even this is unreliable. i U«<J on Show IVoplc. Chicago, Dec. 29.—Mora than 1,000 ' actors and actresses are destitute here. The benefit matinee given at the Chicago Opera house last week by actors and actresses in Chicago for the destitute, was a signal for a flood of letters of ap ical for aid directed to Stuart Robson. As a result, $500 was withheld from the receipts for the assistance of needy act ors. In many of the minor companies salaries are badly in arrears, although actors prefer to stay in their organiza tions and work for nothing than to risk losing back pay altogether by resigning. Scores of specialty people are working their way- eastward from the Pacific coast and are waiting in Chicago for something to torn up. Most of these are also waiting for something to eat, and are liable to continue to wait. Not So Bod, But Bad Enough. ' Omaha, Dec. 28.—Though the number of unemployed people in Omaha is much larger than in any winter before, it is not really ao large as was expected. No tactoriee or large establishments hare cloeed in Omaha. Most of the factories during the worst of the depression worked their men half time, and thus kept as many employed as possible. A conservative estimate of the unem ployed adult malm is 3.500. The popu lation of Omaha is about 150,000. This list of unemployed includes many miners and laborers from Colorado who, when the mines there were closed, found Omaha a promising stopping place on their way east. By no means all theun- Wiployed are destitute. TrW to Jump from • Niagara Bridge. Niagara Palls, N. Y„ Dec. 28.— Robert Wilson, aged 60, en route from his home in the far wes* to the old coun try, attempted to jump from a Grand Trank passenger train as it was crossing the suspension bridge.
