General manager Miller, of the Chicago, Mil waukee & St. Paul road, said this morning that the tronble with their men is still confined to Chicago. The Chicago engineer dispatchers have joined the ranks of the disaf fected and before their places could be filled there was some delay in the matter of messenger trains at the Chicago terminus. This is caused by the failure on the part of the company to get their engines out on time. About two hun dred employes of the company have quit work at Chicago. "We are setting new engine dispatchers to supply the places of those who have stopped!work and all passenger trains except those of the early morning are about on time. We are running as many freight trains as we can take care of in Chicago." "St Paul is in the market for mar ket for freight both at Ohioago and Milwaukee, on all other divisions of the road trains running as usual. I do nat believe there will be any fur ther trouble." PROQBESS OF THE STEIEE. Chicago, March 31. The rumors that a tie-up of the Chicago, Milwau kee and St. Paul road was deoided upon at the meeting held late last night, have proved true. Engineers, firemen, switchmen, brakemen and a number of conductors of that road have quit work. The strike includes the employes of all divisions center ing in Chicago, both freight and pas sengers. The last passenger train manned by a brotherhood crew left the Union depot at 11 o'clock last night. At a meeting held last night, at which fully 700 St. Paul employes at tended, a motion was made to tic up the road, and carried without a dis senting vote. A 6trike was not de clared by any organization or broth erhood, at least not formally. The men 83y it was entirely individual ac tion. HOPKINS SEXTKKOED. Cincinnati, March 30. Benj. E.

Upon motion of district attorney Burnett, he was sen tenced to the penitentiary for seven years and two months. He nppoared broken down from illness but did not manifest any deep emotion on re ceiving his sentence. When tho judge was saying it would bo better for him to be at "Jolumuus during his illness than at the county jail becanse he would not have to pay there for extra attention ho might ro- quire. ue interrupted, saying that that disadvantage bad been removed by the jailor, who had ceased making extra charges. THE HAKDINa-PSAEIi CASS. PorttiAtsd, Mar. 31. Judge Stearns to-day sentenced O. M. Harding to tho penitentiary for Ato years and Pearl Page one year.

This is Easter Sunday tho biggest festival and most important holyday in tho Christian year. It is on tho alleged resurrection of Christ that the whole Christian religion rests, and that is commemorated to-day. This year Easter falls on April 1. nine days earlier than hist year. The earliest possible day for Easter is the twenty second of March and it fell on that date in 1818 for the last time- in about two hundred years. One object in arranging the , calendar moon was that Easter might never fall on the same day as tho Jewish Passover. Last year Easter and Passover were separated by a single night. The Jewish festival usually occurs in Passion Week, the last week in Lent, or after the. twenty-fifth of April. On the other hand the Christian fes tival is never held. before tho twenty fifth of March or after the twenty- fifth of April. In 1913 Easter will fall on tho twenty-second of March as it did in 1845 and 185G. The lat est Easter oconrred in 1886, the twenty-fifth of April, nnd will not fall on that date again until 1913.

Hero is what he says:' The old gentleman from Sanvie's island who Bometime ago furnished several statements in regard to tho sturgeon which live in Sturgeon lake on that island, was in tha city yesterday, attending church. Jin Uregonian reporter, who is a member or the same denomination, met the old man on the ohuroh house steps after meeting was out, and was pained to see that he was aging rap idly and looked worried nnd care worn. He said the sturgeon were getting worse and worse and made life a burden to him. This spring they took to coming out into his calf pasture and enticincr his calves to go swimming in tho lake, and over a dozen of them were drowned. Ashort time since they raced a lot of sheep belonging to Evording & Farrel into the lake and devoured thirty spring lambs. At all events the sheep were driven into the lako and the lambs were missing. Some thought dogs were responsible for the mischief, but ho knew better. But the last and worst trick of the sturgeon was breaking up the Sunday school. A whole drove of these fish crowded in to the building where the Sunday school was being held, and joined in the exercises, and their attempts at singing were bo horrible that the chil dren and teachers were b11 driven away and tho school broken up, and it was not considered advisable to at tempt to hold meetings' any more till the spring run of Bturgeon had stopped.
