Ho has already received orders from
tho army of canvassers for 300,000 and

Ool. Barbiere Resigns.
AN EX-CONFEDERATE FORCED BY CRITI
CISM TO LEAVE A TENSION OFFICE.

Davis, tho now pension agent in Phila
delphia created such a storm of indig
nation among tho Republicans of Penn
sylvania, and has been attaoked and
condemned by a largo number of
Grand Army posts in this and other
States, resigned his position on the
15tb. Ho was takcu sick shortly after
tho furious attacks on his appointment
began to appear in tho papers and
wished to resign at that time, but Gen.
Davis, who is a warm personal friend,
refused to listen and granted him a
loavo of absence. Tho causo of tho
unpopularity of tho appointment lay in
tho fact that Col. Barbiero is tho author
of a book published soon after tho war
in which ho reviled Lincoln and tho
people of tho North in tho most vitu
perativo mannor. Gen. Davis has been
attacked tor making tho appointment,
and it was for this reason that Bar
biero has desired to resign.
After some reflection, and on being
assured that Barbiero earnestly desired
to retire, Gen. Davis accepted tho res
ignation. The Commercial Situation.
Although business in financial circles
is by iio means active, thcro aro abun
dant indications of a gradual improve
ment in trado and of a moro hopeful
feeling among merchants. Under tho
promiso of enormous crops of cotton
an corn, buyers oxhibit moro confidence
and firms in tho South and West havo
of lato been replenishing stocks with
much freedom. This movement had a
decided effect upon cotton goods last
week, prices having advanced under a
good inquiry. The hardening of pric
es is of course duo in part to diminish
ed production and tho gradual reduc
tion of stocks in first hands, but never
theless an increased demand has some
thing to do with it, and tho fact that
mia iH iuu casu snows cioany that uio
feeling of dopression is wearing off.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington. I). O., August 10, 188.5.
Life is comparatively easy in Wash.
inflon lust now. Tim ltonf nf loot
week has subsided from fifteen to twen
ty degrees. Men havo resumed their
collars, neckties and coats. Women
havo resumed but I cannot ao inio
particulars. Tho President has taken
to tho woods. Tho Cabinet is divided
geographically only. Tho Postmaster
Ueneral is in Madison, Wisconsin.
Tho Secretary of War is in Salem,
Mass. Tho Secretary of Stato oscil
1 atca between his homo in Dclawaro
and tho Department in Washington.
Tho other Secretaries, I believe, aro at
their posts, but I havo just returned to
Washington after a two weeks absence,
nnd 1 must nnko the confession, tin.
parallelled in journalism, that thero ato
ono or two things that I do not know.
Tho woik in all tho departments has
not been for ycura so well systematized
nnd pushed as at present. This is tho
comment of all who havo long had
business with Pension, Patent, Land,
Indian nnd other bureaus of tho Gov
(i nmint service. Methods havo been
improved, abuses eradicated, barnacles
havo been scraped olTj competent men
havo been appointed in placo of drones
nnd shirks) now life, now energy, and
- - -.it. , u llliUB- '
ed into the complicated and labyrin-'
thine system through which tho affairs
of 55,000,000 of pooplo aro administer
ed. That so muoh has been accom
plished in fivo months is rcmarkablo
but then it must bo remembered that
this im boon dono by "traitors" nnd
"rebels whoso solo object, as prcutciou
by tho only truly good Republican par
lywas to "disrupt, paralyze nnd ruin."
Tho wondcriui changes wnicn can
bo effooted in n Government olllce by
the introduction of tho thoroughly
business method?, in placo of tho meth
ods formerly in vogue, is strikingly ap
parent in tho I'onston oihco at this
timo. Tho working foroo of tho bu
reau Is 110 short of tho full number
employed under tho old administration.
Besides this, 2M of tho clerks nro ab
sent on their annual lcavos.and thcro nro
thirty absent sick. Notwithstanding
this decrease in tho working iorco,
amounting altogether to 351 clerks, tho
amount of work being dono at tho
present time, without any lengthened
hours or ovcr-workinir of tho force, is
as largo as was douo by tho full staff
of tho clorks under Commissioner Dud
ley, nnd it is rapidly augmenting. Ho-
cently thero havo boen ono or two
clerks, both Democrats and Republi
cans, dismissed becauso they relied too
muoh on their inilucnco and not enough
upon their record, but beyond this
thcro lmvo been but lew changes re
cently. Tho loud and braggart glorification
of the Republican party, when tho
count ot money in the treasury uq
partmcnt showed no loss, has not ceas
ed to rovcrbcr.ito but that is
not tho way tho truly good oilicials of
tho truly good party havo replenished
their exchequers. Investigations now
pending, and others that the country
will hear of soon, will convinco tho
most skeptical than an examination
of tho books, and an elimination
of tho crooks have como nono too
soon. Tho Republicans aro trying to
tako political comfort from tho fact, as
thoy put it, that implicated oinciais
who wero lately dimiBsed from tho
Coast Survey Oflico aro all Democrats.
This is not truo ; but oven if it wero
so, it is not easy to sco how tho causo
of Republicanism is helped any by tho
discovery. Tho fact remains that what
ever irregularities existed wero contin
ued under republican rule, and that it
remained ior a iemocrauc .tianinusira
to oxposo them and apply tho neenssa
ry corrective Tho country is not so
much concerned just now about tho
politics ot individual rascals, as it is in
having rascalities stopped. It is upon
tho latter point that the record will bo
mado up.
A Significant Incident
On tho Confederate Decoration Day
in Now Orleans I was standing near
tho Confederate monument in ono of
tho cemeteries when tho veterans
marched in to decorate it. First camo
tho veterans of tho Army of Virginia,
last thoso of tho Army of Tennessee,
and between them tho veterans of tho
Grand Army of tho Republic, Union
soldiers now living in .Louisiana. 1
stood besido a lady whoso name, if I
mentioned it, would bo rocognized as
representative ot a family which was
as conspicuous nnd did as much and
lost as much, as any other in tho war
a family that would bo popularly sup
posed to cherish unrelenting feelings.
As tho veterans, some of them on
crutches, many of thorn with empty
sleeves, grouped themselves about tho
monument, wo remarked upon the
sight as a touching one, and I said, "I
sco you havo no address on Decoration
Day -, at tho North wo still keep up
tho custom." "No," sho replied ; wo
havo given it up. So many impru
dent things wero said that wo thought
best to discontinue tho address." And
then, after a pause, sho added, thought
fully, "Each sido did tho best it could;
it is all ovor and dono with, and let's
havo an end of it." In tho mouth of
tho lady who uttered it, the remark
was very significant, but it expresses,
I am firmly convinced, tho feeling of
tho south. Uharles Dudley Warner,

Hiss Brinckle's Bondage-
A SANE WOMAN KEl'T TWENTY-SEVEN
YEARS IN THE 1IARRI9ISUIIO
ASYLUM.
Miss Adrianna Physick Knuckle- was
rccontly released from tho stato IiUtia
tio Asylum at Harrisburg, whero she
had been conhued for twenty seven
yoars on tho charge of "extravaganco
and eccentricity. sho is a daughter
ot the lato Dr. Drapor lirincKie, a niiy
sioian who enjoyed a largo practice
and moved in tho highest circles of
society in Philadelphia thirty years ago.
Miss Brincklo was an acknowledged
belle, but was extremely extravagant.
An unfortunate crisisn tho financial
standing of her father made it imnossi
bio for him to pay her billn. Adrianna
was unablo to overcomo her extrava
gant habit, and "to save tho family
honor," Miss Brincklo was sent to tho
asylum entering tho institution July,
1858.
When tho twelfth annual Conference
of Charities and Corrections met in
Washington last June, ono of tho dele
gates mado n statement which led to

was visited nt tho asylum nnd n

Miss Brincklo is a gray halved worn

On Saturday a J'atrlot reporter in
torviowed Dr. Gerhard, Superintendent
ol tho Stato Lunatic Asylum relative
to Miss Brinckle's incarceration in that
institution during the past 27 vears.
Tho doctor said that ho considered
Miss Brinekle silly, weak-minded and
irreponsible. A lew months ago. hi

Tho Board thought differently, how
ever, and ordered Miss Brincklo's re-

"She," said tho Superintendent, "wns

tho privilege of communicating with

"I havo frequently converged with

ocrat nnd recommended by Democrats.
i raw.
Perhaps tho Press has not heard of
the caso of O. P. Judd, tho special
agent of tho Labor Bureau, who has
just been nrrestcd for horso stealing,
and who is found to bo n jail bird Mr.
Wright, Labor Commissioner, says that
Judd camo to him with strong cre
dentials from Senator Teller, Senator
Bowcn, Mr. Chllcott, Judge Goldth
waito of tho Supromo Court of Colora
do, Rcprcscntativo Rowoll of lll'nois,
and others, all of whom spnko of him
in tho highest terms. Seyeral said thoy
know him well, and that ho was pecu
liarly ndaptcd for tho office. On tlieso
recommendations Mr. Wright mado
tho appointment.
Soon afterward Mr. Thoma, tho
Colorado member of the National Dem
ocratio Committee wroto to Mr.
Wright criticising tho appointment as
unlit, os Judd, ho said, was nn unsav
ory character with n bad record. This
chargn Mr. Wright reported to Judd,
with a request for an explanation.
Judd telegraphed that tho chargo was
wholly false, and that his lifo would
defy tho strictest scrutiny. Not satis
fied witli this, hotvever, Mr. Wright
referred tho charges to those who en
dorsed his application, nnd in reply his
backers repeated their recommenda
tions, allirming that Judd's character
and record were stainless, and sug
gesting lh.it Mr. Thomas must bo
thinking of nnothor Judd. Influenced
by thoso representations, Mr. Wright
let tho matter drop, and tho noxt ho
heard from tho irreproachablo Mr.
Judd was his arrest for horso stealing,
and his admission that ho was guilty
of that charge, and that ho had al
ready served two terms in tho Colora
do peuitcntiary for similar offences.
To mako sure that there was no con
fusion in Judd's case, Mr. Wright tele
graphed to Mr. Thomas, whoso reply
left no doubt as to the identity of tho
prisioner. Ho was accordingly dis
missed by order of tho Secretary of
tho Interior.
Nearly all thosu who urged Judd's
nppointmcnt aro republicans, and
Wright is a republican who still holds
over. In this connection tho follow
ing from tho. Springfield llepublica
an independent republican paper is not
out of place.
"Tho Republican chargo that every
case of rascals and incompetents un
covered in tho public scrvico nnd turn
ed out is a caso of Democratic rascals
and incompetents, as in the Coast Sur
vey and other places, is tho best com
pliment Mr. Cleveland's administration
has yet had. An administration which
has tho courage to dismiss its own par
tisans when tbey aro caught in bad
government can generally be trusted
to look after tho other fellows. But
why did tho Republicans tolerate so
many bad Democrats in offico !"
Coleridge's Marriage-
THE IlIUDE OF THE LORD CHIEF JUBTICF.
NOT AN AMERICAN.
Tho marriage of Lord Chief Justico
Coleridge, winch took placo on the 1-lth
in London, has created a tremendous
social sonsation. Every detail of the
affair is eagerly sought for and retold
as often as opportunity offers with such
embellishments as imagination can sup
ply. Tho lady is described ns being a
decided brunctto, about 30 years of
age, witii graceful carriage, a slender,
though perfectly moulded figure and
aquilino features. Her fascinating nnd
vivacious manners so charmed jho lead
ing dispenser of British luslico that,
during tho voyage, ho danced almost
continual attendance upon her After
his arrival in London, however, tho ag
ed lover's ardor oooled rapidly, and in
a short timo the thermometer of his
affection registered a very low temper
aturc.
It was at this stago of tho proceed
ings that tho lady's mother camo out
strong. Sho reminded his Lordship of
tho lcrvor ot his love-making on board
tho steamer, tho tender loyo-laden sen
tenccs nddrcssed by him to her daugh
tor while under tho inilucnco of her
smiles, wero brought back to him ver
batim and numerous other circum
stances connected with tho venerablo
lover's brief wooing, which might havo
a certain degrco oi luiiticnco upon a
jury, wero mentioned as reasons why
sho should become tho mother-in-law
of tho Lord Chiof Justico of England.
The austere jurist, whoso very glance

tho hearts of culprits, was powerless to
dislodge tho match-making mamma
from her position, and finally, being
C. .. -.1. .
uuuiiuuieu wuu iiiu uiiuruuuvo oi an
action for breach of promise, yielded,
stipulating, however, that tho marriago
Bhould take place secretly. That stip
ulation being a very unimportant detail
in the estimation of tho lady whose
gasso was fixed upon tho end, rather
than tho means, aieady consent was
givon. A licenso was obtained, and
thereupon, in the back parlor of tho
brido's house, No. -12 Victoria Road,
ivensington, jhiss Amy Augusta Jack
son Lawford becaruo Baroness Color
idge, wifo of tho highest judicial ollicor
in England. Two clergyman from St.
iiiary Abotts Uhtirch, Kensington, oil!
ciatcd at tho ceremony. An altar was
erected for tho occasion, in tho door
way leading from tho baok psrlor to a
sinaii conservatory. Tho room in
which tho marriago took placo is onlv
iiino feet square, and its occupants, bo
sides tho clergymen and tho contract
ing parties, wero Mrs. Baring Lawford
tho brido's mother Mr. Lawford, her
urouicr, and .llisi r, Lawford. Tho
brido woro a silver-gray satin dress
trimmed with brocaded velvet of a
darker shade. Tho wedding breakfast
was served in a room adjoining tho
uuu in which mo marriago ocenred, and
the couple left on tho 1 o'clock train
for tho Dolphin Hotel, Potcrsfield.
Lord Coleriilgo's arrangements to
preservo secrecy in his own household
wero elaborate and successful. Everv
member of his family was ignorant of
iiiu marriage, and when tho J'ress cor
respondent called to vorify, if possible,
tho rumor that tho wedding had taken
place, ho was laughed at. IIo persist
ed in his inquiry and was told that thero
was positively no truth in tho rumor,
that tho incrriago was impossible m-d
tho report an ontrngo. Telegrams wero
sent to Lord Coleridge, but no replies
wero received, nnd tho Clergymen who
wero said to havo performed tho cere
mony declined to speak upon tho sub
ject. Tho reporter then called nt tho
rcsidenco of Mrs. Baring Lawford.
Ho was received verv courteouslv. but
could obtain no information until
ho told her that tho fact of tho mar
riago was well known, but that ho call.
ed to secure an nbsolutly correct ac
count of tho affair. This statement
unnerved tho lady for a moment, but
she soon recovered her composure and
related tho storv subbtaiitiallv as nbov
dojcribed. Lord Coloridge, sho eaid.
insisted upon tho matter being kept so-
crct for a week, and was particularly
anxious that his eon should not know
of it. In tho room wero scores of
boxes, packed nnd addressed, contain
ing wedding cako and upon n t.iblo in
tho ccntro of tho room wero sovcral
largo dishes of tho cako ready to bo
packed in tho largo number of empty
boxes which wero piled up on ono end
of tho sideboard.
Lord Coleridge's wife is not an
American, ns has been reported, but nn
English woman, though sho has travel

daughter of tho Into Henry Barring

years with tho Bengal civil scrvico.
Second Trial for Murder.
lKl'ORTANT DECISION RENDERED
.1UDIIE MCCOLI.UM, OF SUSQUE
HANNA COUNTY.
I1Y
g
jcrs throughout tho Stato was render
ed at Montroso last week, thcro being
no precedent in print from any of tho
courts of tho State, except n dicta of
Judgo Grier which was contrary to the
decision by Judgo McCollum.
Patrick Winters was indicted, tried
in April, 1885, nnd convicted of mur
der in tho second degree. A new trial
was granted by tho Court of Oyer and
Terminer and tho prisoner retried upon
tho samo Indictment, which contained
only ono count charging murder. Tho
Court held that n former conviction of
murder in tho second degrco was as
effectually an acquittal of murder in
tiio first degi eo as if it .had been so
stated in tho words of tho verdict, and
therefore tho present jury could not
convict of a higher grado of crimo
than murder in tho second dogreo j that
tho former conviction of murder in tho
second dogreo was impliedly an acquit
tal of murder in tho first degree and
tho prisoner could not bo again pnt in
jeopardy of his life, but that ho could
bo convicted of murder in tho second
degree, this being a now trial, for rea
sons filed after tho former trial.
Thcro is no direct precedent in
Pennsylvania, but by a dictum of
Judgo Grier a contrary ruling was in
dicatcd, In other States a conflict of
authority is found. Somo States like
Ohio hold contrary to this decision of
Judge McCollum. while in other State
tho samo ruling ns hero held h made.
Great research and ablo arguments wero
made. Our Supremo Court never has
decided the question and probably nev
er will, until somo Court below holds a
contrary rulo and a jury convicts of
first degrco after a former iury had
convicted of second degree, so that
this is likely to bo a leading caso in
Pennsylvania for many years, and, be
ing by ono of tho ablest jurists in the
htate, is likely to bo followed as a pre
cedent during nt least this generation.

Henry's story, which he has persist
ently adhered to through theso long
years, is that, being a widower, ho left
Ualtimore, Ins native city, in search of
work as a broom-maker ; found his
way into Southern Lancaster County,
and, while- walking along tho road, ho
was invited by a man driving in a bug.

Btrnngor tied Ins horso to a fenco near

a number of men rushed in, seized him,
and, boforo ho was aware of their ob

Thoy nccuscd him of stealing tho hcrso
which was tied to tho fence outside.
Ho mado a narrow escapo from being

of a long scries of outrages in tho

His story has been sufficiently corro

to throw doubts upon his guilt, nnd ho
would doubtless have been pardoned
boforo this had ho been possessed of

Boston, Aug. 18, A mystery of
iuu5 Buiiiuiug was ciearou up io-day.
Eight months ago, early ono Sunday
morning, Mrs. Mary Wontworth, an
nltractivo young woman, aroso from
her bed with a bullet buried in hor
breast, nnd blood flowing from tho
wound, and informed tho occupants of
tho tenement that sho had been shot
by an unknown man who had escaped
by tho back door. Mrs. Wo nt.u-iirf h
had not boon living on yery good tonus
with her husband. He was nt the timo
absent, and the outer il OOr lind linnn
left open nil night on tho strength of
tho following note, which Mrs. Went-
woriu wanned io uavo reoeivedt
"Dear Mary i 1 am coming homo to
night nftcr dark. Don't toll anybody,
but loavo tho front door unlocked.
Georoe Wkntwortii.''
On the. day preceding tho firing of
tho mysterious bullet Mrs. Wcntworth
showed this missive to n neighbor, al
ter which sho burned it. Bcforo Mrs.
Wcntworth was removed to tho hospi
lal tho ofllcci's arrived, and sho said
that sho bclioved thcro wero two revol
vers in thn houso. Ono of thorn was
in n trunk in the back room and the
other, sho said, sho had discovered, to
her surprise, a fow days boforo in tho
bottom of ono of her rubber boots,
"whero her husband must havo put it."
This last was a largo weapon with a
white handle. Tho rooms wcio search
ed and tho first pistol was found in tlto
tiunk, nono of the barrels had been fir
ed. Tho weapon with tho whito lian
dlo had disappeared.
Suspicion at onco fell upon the hus
band, but ho succeeded in establishing
nn alibi. Mrs. Wontworth recovered,
nnd, finding that it was impossible to
livo longer witli hor husband, sho
ngrccd to a reparation, and, somo weeks
after tho shooting affair, returned to
her homo in tho Provinces. To tho
lait sho persinted in her declaration
that her story of tho attempted mur
der wa truo in every particular. To
day a dealer, who had taken tho stove
from Mrs. Wuutworth's house, found
concealed in tho ashes under tho back
draff, tho remains of tho white-handled
pistol. This discovery confirmed
the suspicion that tho woman had ar
ranged an elaborate sohomo to shoot
herself nnd Bccuro tho punishment of

WiuciaiiARRi: Aug. 18. Andrew
Ondu shot and killed himself at Nanti
coko yesterday, after scnously wound
ing a woman named Thomas.
Four years ago several Polish fami
lies emigrated from tho old country
and took up their residence at Mount
Carmel. Among them wero Georgo
Ondu and Andrew Ondu, brothers, and
John Ondu, a cousin; Joseph Omoiska
and wifo and Michael Tomaski and
wife. After remaining at Mount Car
mel a few years they removed to Nanli
coke, where thoy havo sinco resided.
Sinco April last both families havo
occupied the samo house on Broad
street in which yesterday's tragedy
occured, one crowd living up stairs
nnd tho other occupying tho first floor.
Tho Ondu men wero singlo and sup
posed to bo boarders. Threo months
ago a Mrs. Gwinsko put in an appear
auco and routed a heuso two doors
lower down tho hillside Sho is a sist
er of thu wifo of Michael Tomaski, and
has a husband and a soventocn-year-old
daughter, Leonora At this timo
tho Tomaskis wero known by tho name
of Thomas. Both families affiliated
and it appears indulged in beer to ex
cess. Tho wifo of Michael Thomas is
a iiuo looking woman, strong and
healthy. Her husband is a littlo man
who has been sick for somo months.
During his illness it is certain that
she has cohabited with Andrew Ondu,
who was a boarder at their house. Tho
fact was known to tho husband, and he
protested, but to no effect. The par
tics continued in tlioir illicit inter
course under tho very eyo-i of the en
raged husband.
Day boforo yesterday Ondu and
Thomas quarreled and tho result was
that tho injured husband applied to
'Squiro Green for a warrant for tho ar
rest of tho paramour of his wife.
Tho 'Squiro advised a settlement
and Thomas returned homo. Tho
quarrel between himsolf and his
boarder was then renewed. Tho
husband appoalod to his wifo to
protect her honor, but sho said she
preferred tho company of Ondu. This
outraged tho husband and at an early
hour yesterday morning, ho loft tho
house. Later in tho forenoon Ondu
learned that Thomas was about to havo
him arrested, and during a discussion
of tho matter quarreled with tho uu
chasto wifo who was his partner in
crimo. In a fit of despondency bor
dering on desperation, ho went down
town to tho ollico of tho Susquehanna
uoai uompany and askod tor an order
for fivo dollars wortli of goods at tho
store. IIo obtained tho order without
difficulty and immediately thereafter
proceeded to tho company storo and
presenting tho order, asked for a re
volver and forao cartridges. Theso
articles wero given hinij a nickel plat
ed revolver, fivo chambers filled, thirty
two calibre. Ho thou bought boiho
fih and a fow cakes, and immediately
thereafter walked up Market street to
Broad and thenco to his boarding
home. On entering thu building lie
met Mrs. Thomas to whom ho said:
Emma, I've brought somo fish and
Bomo nice cakes. Let's havo a cood
dinner, becauso it's tho last wu will
havo."
Tho woman became alarmed ot his
words but nevertheless procoded to
start a firo in the stovo for tho pnrposo
of getting dinner. As sho was nboul
to apply tho match it appears Ondu ex.
hibited the rovolver and candidly said
that ho intended to kill her directly
after dinner. IIo said sho had prefer
ed her husband to himself, that hor
husband had threatened to hnvo him
arrested for usurping her affections,
and rather than livo without her ho
was determined that .both Bhould die.
Tho woman was about to tleo for Iipi-
lifo and had already turned tcwnnl tho
uoor when undu ran after her. Ho
got quito closo to her boforo alio reach
ed, and pulling tho trigger, with the
barrel of the revolver pointed dirctly
toward her head, ho fired. Tho worn.
nn dropped on tho floor. In tho next
instant ho had put n bullet through his
own head, tho mlssilo entering at tho
throat in front and lodcrinr at tlm Man
of tho brain in tho rear of tho head,
taking an upward course. Death
was instantaneous. Tho woman will
probably recover.
IlarrlNoii h or-wltc.
bcwhbuiR wns greatly excited ngidn on
Tuesday over tho Hnrrlson-Urwlg contest
regarding tho boundary wnll between tho
the Cameron Houso nnd Mr. Orwlg's resi
dence. Whcnover Mr. Orwlg Is nbsont
from homo Mrs. Harrison takes ndvantngo
of his nbsenco to tenr down n portion of
his property. Tuesday she appeared upon
the crouml with three workmen nnd com
menced culling oil two feet of Mr. Orwlg's
porch. Thrco or four women of tho house
constituted Its oulv defenders. Two
nieces of Mr. Orwlg, who chanced to bo
visiting their uncle, quick ns lightning ml
justed tho hose nnd turned n full stream of
wntcr on Dr. Harrison nnd the workmen,
n largo crowd quickly gathered nnd
cheered on the plucky girls. Dr. Harrison
threatened to throw nn Iron down on tho
girls if they did not desist, hut nt this tho
crowd became Infuriated and threatened to
demolish the new addition to tho Cameron
Houso nnd tin- doctor with It If ho dared
to lay n hand upon tho girls, who by this
timo had climbed up to within closo rnngo
of tho workmen who weto taking off the
roof, nnd placing tho nozzlo closo to the
workmen's faces gave them tho benefit of
the full stream. Tho workmen got nn um
hrclln nnd tried to shield themselves, hut It
wns useless. The girls had "enlisted for
the war" nnd were bound to "light It out
on Hint line," nnd nftcr battling for nn
hour nnd a hnlf they hnd the satisfaction
of seeing their enemies lay down their
"arms" and stiricmlcr. Largo crowds of
tho most respectable ladles nlid gentlemen
of tho place gathered around the clrls and
cheered them on. If there wns nny ono in
the crowd that sympathized with tho other
party it was not demonstrated during the
contest. A complicated law suit is now In
progress. After tho battle with tho water
was over Mrs, Orwlg procured the services
of a man with n shot gun to keep tho Hnr
risonltcs away.
As a result of tho conlhct, warrants wero
Issued lor the arrest of the ladles. In the
evening Constablo McFiulilcn undertook
to mako tho arrests, but ho found tho
houso locked, and nn Indignant crowd pre
vented his forcing the door. Thoy nftcr
wnrds gave m.Sunlury Democrat.
