Xe nencflt te the Strikers.
The great strike of the Pittsburgh
aren workers takes place te-day, and the
interesting question is as te which party
will take the benefit of the motion. The
workmen generally are said te believe
thatthe manufacturers will speedilyyield
te their demands, and no doubt they de
think se, else they would net strike for
them . The president of their association
is said te be fur less sanguine and te have
used his influence te stay this movement
of the Amalgamated association.' Upen
the surface it appears te have been
quite unjustifiable. !It is net- alleged
that the workmen are net getting
very geed wages, and that no necesr
sity forces them te demand mere. It
is simply a demand for greater
reward for their labor by men solely jus
tified by their belief that they can get it.
nr they can, perhaps they were sensible
te demand it ; if they can't, they cer
tainly were net. The time they have
chosen for their essay docs net seem te
premise it a very brilliant result. The
Pittsburgh manufacturers can afford te
shut down their mills at the present
cost of iron, for there is no great profit
in it ; and if all the mills continue te
run the probability is strong that the
market price of iron will sink below its
cost. A stoppage of the mills will,
therefore, strengthen the market and
bare the country of its stock of
manufactured iron and make it ready
te take it again at a geed profit.
But while it thus pays the mill owners
te cease operations it is net easy te see
hew it equally benefits the operatives.
The mills being closed mainly at their
expense they will le benefited if when
work is resumed the profit upon it en
ables the manufacturers te pay them
greater wages, but they will need te work
a geed whilete make the increase pay
what they have lest by their idleness.
As the strike leeks te higher prices
for iron, some people suspect that it
takes place in puisuance of an under
standing between the manufacturers
and the Amalgamated association ; but
we de net understand that this is the
case.
Tlic Kind They Want.
It no doubt pleases and reassures the
Stalwarts te have their opponents revive
the stories of Den Cameren's stubborn
ness with which the newspapers are be
ing garnished nowadays. What the
Stalwarts want in their leadership is
pluck. If they lower their flag the- ln-depcnih-uts
will trample upon them with
out mercy. A very brief term of Mr.
Blaine showed that he and his faction
were willing te exercise their power as
remorselessly as the Stalwarts ; and the
Cameren-Conkling faction expected
when Arthur succeeded that their day
had come. It is no secret that in New
Yerk and Pennsylvania the friends of the
president were becoming very restless
at what they considered his tardiness in
manifesting appreciation of their merits,
lie was turned out of the New Yerk
custom house by Sherman and Hayes,
net because he was a ' ' practical politi
cian,' but because he exercised his office
against their friends. It was net ex
pected by any politician that when he
had a chance te get even with the Half
Bretds he would decline te avail himself
of it. The mere veracious of his faction
have been impatient with him, but the
astute leaders knew that he only bided
his time. It has come and the Regulars
are well satisfied that the situation in
Pennsylvania affords him excuse for
putting none but of their kind in office.
That Cameren and the president are
net te be driven from their position by
threats will give fresh courage te the
Stalwarts. One of the stories related of
the young senator's course in the Bucka
lcw campaign is te the effect that a de
termined effort was then made te force
lien's candidate, Ilarlranft, off the
ticket ; and that at a meeting of Be
publican leaders called in Philadelphia
te consider this, even his father, Simen
Cameren, and his brother-in-law, Mac
Veagh, were present :
Den Cameren appeared at this critical
time. Be said substantially: "Gontlc "Gentlc
mun, I knew what you arc here for. I
propose te take the fleer for tbiee minutes
without interruption and te leave it with
out reply. Your purpose is te take this
gentleman, Mr. Hartrauft, off the ticket
and put some one else ou. I came here te
tell you that, by the Eternal, if you take
him oil' and put this gentleman en (point
ing te his own father), I will beat him. If
you take Hartranftoffandpntmybretber-iu-Iaw
en, by all the gods, I will beat him.
If you take Mr. Hartrauft off and put any
human being en, I swear that se sure as
the day of election comes the Democratic
candidate shall be elected. Keep Hartranft
en the ticket and I will elect him. Gen
tlemen, geed night. I shall take the next
train for Harrisburg."
Such reminiscences as this will net
discourage the Stalwarts. They depend
for success this year en bold and desper
ate men, who want assurances of Cam Cam
eeon's determination and of his willing
ness te stand by his friends. The mere
they have of this the better they will
work. But it islikely that the time has
come when the people of the state will
net allow these neeple te prevail.
THEltepublican majority in the Heuse
being small, it is important te the party
interests te increase it as speedily aspos aspes aspos
sible by the admission of such Republi
cans as are contesting Democratic seats.
But it is net easy te understand why
the haste should be se great as te cause
a refusal te permit the election commit
tee te examine into charges of for
gery of the testimony made in the
Mackey-Dibble case en the Democratic
side. Whether these charges were true
or false, the fact .that an inquiry into
them was demanded by all the Demo
cratic representatives should certainly
have secured it from an honest majority.
The unscrupulous vigor with which the
Heuse is being purged of Democrats, se
far as possible, gives color te the sus
picion that the Republican leaders are
contemplating schemes of legislation
which will require for their success all
the party strength they can master.
Judging from tbe character of these lead
ers and the evidences of extravagance
which this Congress has already given,
jt is easy te believe that a grand assault
upon the treasury is contemplated from
eyery direction in,. which e&trance can
be made. ' ,,
But the cause of the majority is net
such m te tend He make their schemes
successful. They have united and ex
asperated the powerful Democratic
minority by their unjust and ar
bitrary treatment, and they will
encounter an aroused, vigilant and
steady opposition te their purposes.
The Wilkesbarre Jfccertf has get along
a little further than the New Era. Its
denunciations of Camerenism have led
it te the support of the Independent
ticket. The New Era is a little further
pn than the Press and gives its readers
the privilege of cheesing between the
iwe Republican tickets ; while the
Press, being an (eight-page paper can
lend one half of its influence te one side
and the ether half te the opposition.
Altogether the classification of the Re
publican newspapers of this state has
become a very fine art.
TiiEitE are indications among the
20,000 colored voters of this state and the
25,000ef XewYerk.by which alone thoRe theRe
publicans can carry either of them, that
they are net satisfied with their treat
ment. The state tickets of their parly
invariably are without any colored rep
resentative and no black man has yet
been sent te either legislature. Cuff is
getting tired being cuffed.
i
Ur iu Snyder county the Republicans
took Congressman Fisher at his word
wheu he said the reads were tee bad for
him te make another canvass, and they
dcclare for Dr. IJ. F. Wagenseller instead
of Fisher.
It is difficult te dctcrmiue whom the
Wilkesbarre Recerd hurts most when it
begins te tell tales out of school. It de
clares that Den Cameren went te Ileyt
and demanded the previous pardon of Kem
blc. When Attorney General Palmer
promptly declined te become a party te
tliat iniquity, then again Camereu in
truded this hull-dozing iusult, " Didn't I
make both you and him ?"
In an intcrview with Cenkliug iu New
Yerk the ether day te a well-known Demo
crat who inquired of the ex-senator whom
the Republicans wero likely te nominate
for governor this year, he replied : "I am
sorry te say that I think Mr. Cernell will
be the nominee." In further conversa
tion he is reported te have said : "If the
Democrats nominate a geed man I think
they will stand a geed chance of electing
him this year."

nation for the state Senate from the Bea
ver end of the Beaver-Washington
(4Cth) district and as it is Beaver's
turn te have the senatership, and
Mr. Lawrence, retiring incumbent, does
net desire a return, it is quite likely that
the choice of Beaver will be agreed upon
by the ether county. Mr. Agnew was op
posed by Rutan, but was also opposed by
some of the most pronounced anti-Cameren
men in Beaver. He is supposed te sympa
thize strongly with the' well known views
of his distinguished father.

Charles Siebard shot his wife Louisa
dead at 115 Ridge street Xew Yerk. He

pistol and, weighing it in his hand, said te
his wife : " I think I will sheet you !"
" All right : go ahead !" she carelessly
replied, exposing lier breast. He immedi

staggered te the stairway and reached the
fleer below, he firing a third shot. He
ran out te the street bareheaded, but was

In Asheville, N. C, Ruth Testaman,
a bright little girl of eight, was killed by
her father, Jacob Testaman, for getting
drunk. Testaman, a well-te de farmer,

tions the child crept up te him, secured
the bettle of whisky, which he had near

threat. The child made her way home,
where her father found her beastly drunk.
He swore that he would kill her. He
reused her up and told her his intention.
The little thing begged piteeusly for her
life, saying ." Pa, don't kill me new. I
am drunk. Wait till I get sober." These
appeals were of no avail. The infuriated

her te death. Testaman is an old tippler.

20 horse power ; ene set of boilers 40 herse
power, aud another 15 herse power. Still
further back, and fronting en Christian
street, is the paper room. Owing te the
gradual rise of grade from North Queen
te Christian street, this room, as well as
the engine room, is partly under ground.
The fleer of it is laid iu cement, se that it
is impervious alike, te vermin or undue
dampness. A very wide deer has been
placed at the east end of it, se that the
large boilers or ether bulky machinery
may be easily romevod from it when neces
sary for repair or renewal. A portion of
the room net far from the furnace has
been partitioned off as a coal bin, and is
provided with a shute te convey the coal
lrem the car te the bin.
Second Fleer.
The second fleer is reached by bread
aud easy stairways front and rear. Front
ing en North Queen street are two large
rooms, 21 feet wide by 35 feet long,
which will be occupied as insurance of
fices. Te the scar of these, at the head of the
first flight of stairs, is a large room used
as the business office of the Inquirer pub.
lishing company and the office of the
Weekly Inquirer newspaper. It is furnish
ed with safes, desks, counters and the
necessary office furniture.
Adjeiiiiug the business office iu the rear,
and extending all the way te Christian
street is the press room. It is 22A feet
wide by 155 feet in length and 17 feet iu
height, in the clear, iietu fleer te ceiling ;
both fleer and ceiling are of yellow pine.
The room is lighted by windows en both
the north and south bides. In this room
arc four large Adams power presses (one
of them a 4-rnlIcr) ; two Hee drum cylin
der presses ; one 4 roller, 2 revolution
Cottcrell press, and one Cettcrell step
cylinder press, especially adapted for fine
book work and plate printing. Thcre arc,
besides, three steam-power job presses
and a number of feet pedal presses ; also a
hydraulic dry pressing machine and ether
printing appliances. There is sufficient
shafting and space in this room for seven
teen large power presses, and these will
be put in as occasion may require
Third Fleer.
The North Queen street front of the
third fleer was arranged especially as a
council room for the order of United
American Mechanics. The meeting room
is about sixty feet long by twenty-eight
feet wide and connected with it are two
ante-rooms. It is the intention of the
Mechanics before moving into it, te furnish
it elegantly.
Te the rear of the Mechanics' room is
the book bindery. It is of the same di
mensions as the press room (22$ by 155
feet.) It is provided with a wonderful
stock of tiie most approved machinery and
appliances for book binding, ruling and
paper cutting. Among ether valuable
machines may be racntieued an Acme
telf-clamping cutter : a Semnle book
trimmer, a Sheridan embossing press, an
improved backiug machine, a steam-power
book sewing machine, a wire etitching ma
chine, a Hickok ruling machine, paging
and numbering machines, standing presses
and every ether appliance pertaining te a
first class bindery.
Adjoining the bindery is the proof
reading department, which is very com
fortably and cenveuieutly fitted up for the
accommodation of these important person
ages, the proof-readers.
Fourth Story.
The ontire fourth story front i a siimie
room, used at present as a school for bi
cycle riders, of which Martin Rndy is
teacher and proprietor. The room is very
large and admirably adapted for the pur
pose, aud the riders glide ever its smooth
surface as gracefully and almost as noise
lessly as swallows skim the air.
Te the rear of the bicycle school is the
principal composing and job room of the
establishment. It is the same size as the
bindery and pressroom, and is large
enough te comfortably accommodate
one hundred compositors with cases.
There are windows en both sides of tlic
room and they are just wide cnengh and
far enough apart te allow of two stands,
back te back, te be placed between each
of them, with a comfortable space for the
compositors between the stands. Thcre is
net, perhaps, a finer compe'sing room any
where than this one. The boys moved
into it a day or two age, and are delighted
with the change from their late temperary
and cramped quarters en Prince street.
The building is heated with steam from
basement te the fourth story ; it is admir
ably ventilated and has wash stands,
water-closets and all ether conveniences
en every fleer. Ou the third fleer is a
large watcr-pipe te which is attached a
sufficient quantity of hose te reach every
part of the building, iu case of fire.
The Elevator.
Near the rear of the building is one of
Clem & Merse's elevators, worked by
steam, and having an automatic arrange
ment for opening and closing the several
hatchways as the elevator passes up or
down from story te story. This is of great
advantage in cold weather as the heat in
the lower stories is thus prevented from
ascending te the upper stories and making
the air in them tee het, while the rooms
below would be tee cold. The automatic
closing of the hatches will also prevent
accidents, such as frequently occur in open
hatchways The elevator will carry 2,000
pounds at a single lead and is provided with
an appliance that will prevent its falling,
even if the steel wire rope that sustains it
were te break or be cut off. A child can
work it and raise or lower the platform te
any point with perfect safety and the
greatest ease.
cThe building was erected for theln-
Sairec printing and publishing company by
A. Burger, architect and builder,,, from
plans and -specifications prepared by him
self. Dr. Wickersham, the president of
the beard of directors, ,spcaks in the high
est terms of Mr. Burger's skill aud expedi
tion in completing the work entrusted te
him, and the able assistance afforded by
the large force et Lancaster mechanics
and laborers employed by hiin iu the ex
ecution of tbe work.
The establishment is a credit te the city
and Dr. Wickersham himself deserves a
word of praise for his liberal expenditure
of money and the hopeful energy with
which he pushed te completion a great
work under the most discouraging cir
cumstances. The force of workmen new empleyed by
the Inquirer company numbers about
eighty men, women, boys and girls, who
are under the general management of J.
Hareld Wickersham, assisted by a number
of skilled mechanics in the several depart
ments. MAKKIAUK AT ST. MARY'S.

JNTELLGKNCK FROM INTKltCOUKSK.
The JHttlertnnes or Sema Crack Shots.
J. R. Butter, proprietor of the Cross Cress
keys hotel in Intercourse, is also the owner
of four acres of land in the western end of
town facing en what is known as " Grab
all" street. Part of this ground is planted
in corn and the neighbors chickens were
making sad havoc with the crops.
Mr. Butter employed Jehn Hall, an old
marksman, te watch the field, with orders
te sheet the fowls. With high cxpecta cxpecta
tiehs of a pet-pic for dinner, Jehn drew a
bead en the first hen that entered the field,
fired and wounded her. While trying te
catch the crippled bird, some miscreant
stele the splendid double barrelled gun
which Jehn ha1 thoughtlessly left stand
ing at the read. The fowl was net cap
tured and Jehn relumed minus the gnn.
Net te be outdone Mr. Butter employed
another crack-shot from the eastern end of
town who is blind of an eye, placing in his
hands a long single barreled gun heavily
leaded. He went ou duty at 4 o'clock in
the morning and at 5 o'clock there was a
heavy report and three hatchers and ene
rooster who accompanied them as a guard
lay dead en the field. While gathering up
the dead birds this gun was also taken and
at this writing neither of them have been
recovered. It is thought the last gttu was
taken in a joke. A reward of $10 is offered
for the deuble barreled gun and & ler the
single one.
