Union shopmen employed hy the Ca nadian Pacific Railway to-day struck In all shops on the system, from Nthe Atlantic to the Pacific, and all shops to-night are Idle. It is estimated that 12,000 men Went out, tho larg est number being 2,?00 in Montreal. Ono hundred quit at Winnipeg. Two thousand men left work between Fort WIMiam and Vancouver, all at the dictates of the executive commit tee of the various, unions affected. Even old workmen in line for pen sions went home, and it seems to be the most extensive strike in the his tory of the railway shops in Canada. All the workmen employed around the train shops and depots went out, and conductors and engineers caused some delay to train service by insist ing that trains be properly made up before they would take them out. Every wheel In Ihe shops stopped and every fire died out when the whistle blew' several short blasts; caretakers and shop foremen alone being left to put the places In shape for the period of Idleness bound to follow; This afternoon the men gathered at their halls to appoint committees to carry on the strike. It was a de termined crowd. A few younger men tried to force an appearance of jo viality, but the majority looked as If they fully realized the gravity of the step taken. The railroad company has several hundred old country me chanics In reserve, who will be brought to the scene of action at once. Among those assembled the talk was about the early termination of the Btrlke. Some are optimistic enough to believe that all will be over this week, the men believing there will be a capitulation of the company. There seems, however, to be a strong Impression that the com pany has allowed affairs to drift, to see how far the men will go. The Canadian Pacific Railway offi cers' view IB that the finding of a conciliatory board appointed at the request of the men should be binding on the men. The Canadian Pacific Railway not only did not seek a rea son, but believing the board to be hostile to the company withdrew their representative, and the govern ment apoplnted another arbitrator to representing the company. Despite these facts, the board's finding was accepted by the Canadian Pacific Railway under protest, and the company's officers are surprised at the refusal of thc men to acqui esce. 47,0<H) Darrels Booze Durn.

Mm mpUttmm WOMAN OUTWITS THE KAISER. Dunce Hull Singer Weils Prince De spite His Opposition. A Berlin (Germany) dispatch says: The kaiser has been thwarted In his attempt to prevent the marriage of Prince Joachim Albrecht of Prussia and Marie Sulzer, the notorious dance hall woman, the courtship of which has scandalized the German court for the last two years. News of the marriage of the couple on August 15 last year became publie this week, after every attempt had boen made to keep It secret. It was nearly a year ago that, the Sulzer woman, who was the Baroness Liebenburg, to whom she paid $7,500 to marry her, so that she might ac quire a title and be eligible to murry Piinco Joachim Albrecht. The baron, an impecunious Aus trian, was paid $3,500 at the ti-ne of his marriage and was to receive the remainder upon the granting of the divorce. Through falhne to pay one of the Installments, the baron held up the divorce proceedings. When tho Prince's mad infatua tion for a woman of such low rank became the talk of Germany, the kaiser banished him to Africa, think ing that he would come to his senses in n short time. The baroness was also ordered to leave Borlin by the police. She took up her residence in Paris. The moment the baroness's matri monial tangle was straightened out the prince appeared on tho scene agali* and despite all the warnings of his friends and the threats of ban ishment from Austria, he joined the baroness, and the two were married in Zurich. The prince intimates that he will henceforth live In America. Feel languid, weak, run-down? Headache? Stomach "off?"-Just a plain case of lazy liver.

(Anderson Mail, Aug. 6.) J. N. S. McConnell, who lives four miles north of the city, loot his ham and contents hy fire yesterday after noon. Lightning struck the barn and caused the fire. Mr. McConnell saki that a bright Hash of lightning, followed hy a loud peal or thunder, came about 2.30 o'clock, and five minutes later he found his barn enveloped in flames. The tire hnd made such headway be fore it was discovered, there being Inflammable stuff in the barn, that Mr. McConnell and his neighbors' were unable to save anything. N The barn contained quantities of 'wheat straw, stover, hay, 10 sacks of cot ton seed meal, etc. The barn was 4 0 by 70, and was one of the larg est and oldest In the county. A slight rain followed the stroke of lightning, but it was not sufficient to extinguish the flames. It was reported in the city yes terday afternoon that Mr. McCon nell's residence had been struck by lightning and burned, but this wns a mistake.
