This gives the regular Republicans a

Tut City Council of Baltimore
Lave passed, and the Mayor has
higned. an ordinance selling the city's
iuter. st in the Pittsburgh and Con
nellsville Railroad to the Baltimore
Jt Ohio Railroad Company for the
sum of one million dollars, payable
in annual installments. The amount
of tbecitv's claim was about two and
a ball millions. The B. & O. road
will now Lave complete control of tLe
Connellsville, and it i. said contem
plate large improvements, looking to
making it a profitable property.
The protracted lock-out at Pitts
bu gh is ended. Fires have again
been kindled in th furnaces, and the
puddlers Lave gone to work. Pitts
burgh's buoiness Las suffered im
mensely by the long btoppago of ber
in.u furnaces and mills. Thousands
of working men and their families
were brought to the verge of starva
tion, and tbe streets of the city were
filled with idle men and importunate
beggars. Naturally there is great
r.joiciug at the end of tbe strike, and
business is said to I assuming a
lualthy toac.
A STOCKnouER of tbe New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railway
Las obtained from one of the Connec
jicut Courts, a preliminary injunction
restraining tbe officers of that road
from issuing passes to any one, or
transporting any passenger without
receiving trom him tbe regular fare.
The complainant bases Lis petition
on tbe ground that the granting ol
free passes diminishes Lis profits as a
ttockboldor. The President of the
Company Las issued orders to the
conductors to collect fare from all
passengers, no matter whether they
Lave passes or not.
The Chicago rtmcsbas been gath
ering information from all parts of
the Northwest in relation to the
wheat crop of that section, which
gives hopeful promise of bountiful
harvests. The acreage planted in
winter wheat is everywhere quite as
large acd in some sections larger
than usual. The Leavy snowfalls in
the Northwest have protected the
i-prouiing crops from the rigors of the
unusually eold'winter, so that com
paratively a small proportion of the
grain planted Las been frost-killed.
A similar condition of the wheat crop
was recently reported from Kentucky,
where, duaing the cold weather of
February and March tbe young crop
was safely incrustd in a protecting
coat of glassy ice. Both in the North
west and ia tbe more central of the
Western States the opening spring
finds the wheat field covered with a
Lardy stand of wheat, which, wiih
an ordinary favorable growing sea
son, will produce good harvests. The
acreage plauted and preparing to be
planted iu spring wheat seems gen
e:a!ly tu be larger than usual.
Til Elate House of Representatives
of tbe Commonwealth of Pennsyl
vania, appointed a committee to in
vestigate the books and accounts of
the State Treasurer. This commit
tee, clothed with about as much right
and authority as if ii Lad been ap
pointed by the energetic Town Coun
cil of Meyersdale, assembled at liar
ri&burg last week, and made formal
demand at the counter of tbe Treas
urer for permission to examine the
books and vccounU of that institu
tion, when doubtless to their pro
found astonibhment they were po
litely informed that Mr. Mackey was
absent, but tbat Le Lad left instruc
tions tbat tLey were to ba afforded
every facility to aid them in their in
vestigation. The committee then de
cided to select a sub-committee to
prosecute tbe inquiry, and as ihe
Philadelphia 2'ime remarks, "when
the matter is ended they will be like
the noted swine that crawled through
the crooked, hollow log to get inte
rich pastures, and was confounded
out oi. thosme side of tbe
at coming
fence, and just about th; tame pla. c
she started in at."
The Democratic IIou e when pass
ing the bill raising thisr committee,
did'nt expect to be allowed to make
an investigation, and did'nt want to
make one. They only wanted to
make cap'ual for the next campaign
out of tbe anticipated refusal of tbe
State Treasurer to permit them to
overhaul Lis office, and Mr Mackey,
bv Lis suave invitation to "pitch right
io," has so effectually pricked tbat
bubble, that the State is in a 1 road
rrin from the Delaware to the Ob;o,
lover the disconcerted Democratic
speculators, who thought there was
"millions in it.''
The "Louisiana question," which
has bren euch a God-send to the
Democratic thouters, has at last been
amicably adjusted on tbe basis pre
pared by the Congressional commit
tee having the matter in charge. Oa
Friday last the House of Represen
tees of tbat State, ty a vote of 82
to 15, adopted the report of tbe com
mittee, awarding the contested seats
to the members whom tbe Congress
ional committe decided to be elected.
The claimants to seats who were rul
ed out. gracefully submitted to the
decision and quietly withdrew. A
Conservative Speaker was elected in
place of tbe usurping Wiltz, and a
res. I ition acknowledging Kellogg as
Governor and pledging Lira support,
was adopted by a vote of 82 to IS.
So a fresh and honest start ha. been
uiade in Louisiana to the satisfaction
of everybody except the Warwick,
of the "Independent press," who
want it understood, you know, that
1
this adjustment is nottooemauea
precedent, you know, for adjusting
future difficulties of a einmar nature,
when tbe banditti of the Southern
States desire to resist the inaugura
tion of Republicans elected by tbe
people. We congratulate tbe coun
try iu its fortunate possession of so
efficient a peace-maker as Lieutenant
General Philip Sheridan.
At the session of 1S74, tbe Legis
lature of this State passed an act im
posing a lax of three cents per ton,
on tbe franchises of corporations in
this State mining and selling coal.
Judge Pearson, of tbe Court of Com
mon Picas of Dauphin County, has
just decided the act to be unconstitu
tional, and an appeal has been taken
to tbe Supreme Court Should this
court sustain the court below, the
Treasury will lose about $500,000 of
annual revenue from this source, and
the next Legislature will have to de
vise ways and means to supply tbe
deficit. We take no stock in the ru
mor already widely circulated by the
sensational press, tbat tbe Governor
contemplates calling an extra session
of tbe Legislature during the coming
summer, for tbe purpose of providing
for tbe deficiency.
Alter the Supreme Court has de
cided the question, it will be time
enough to tbisk of supplying the
deficit, should its decree create one,
and the public mav rest fully satisfied
that the Governor will not, except of
dire necessity, reassemble the incom
petent Legislature of last winter,
over whose adjournment the people
so lately rejoiced.

The elections this winter and
spring have resulted in the success
of the Republicans in New Hamp
shire, Rhode Island and Michigan,
and of the Democrats in Connecticut;
yet over tbe last named an amount
of newspaper discussion Las been
wasted astLough the whole political
tone of the Republic were divided in
that one contest. In Rhode Island
and Michigan the Democrats scarcely
made a respectable show, and in Con
necticut the Republicans gained in
both Houses of the Legislature and
on the popular vote. Connecticut,
therefore, proves nothing more than
that when the Republicans are once
fairly aroused and in earnest it is des
perate work for the Democrats to de
feat tbem.
One remarkable lesult of tbe spring
elections deserves to be mentioned.
Senator Gordon, of Georgia, a rebel
general in the civil war, had been
fixed upon as the Democratic candi
date for the Yiee Presidency; but he
has found it advisable to publish a
letter withdrawing his name and de
clining to be a candidate. The more
sensible Southern Conservative joorn
als advocate a considerably milder
treatment of national affairs than tbe
Northern Bourbous are bent upon,
and tbey openly express their appre
hensions of the result of any attempt
to reopen discussions about the Con
stitutional Amendments and Recon
struction. In some quarters these
Conservative organs even look with
placid satisfaction at tbe prosiect of
electing to the Presidency some mod
erate Republican like Blaine, of Maine.

New York, April 10th, 1S75.
a short bit true statement to
yovno men from the country.
The ambition of half the young
men from the country is to get to
some large city, New York being, of
course, tbe first choice. The young
maa who has to arise at four and go
out into tbe rain or snow, as tbe case
may be, and do tbe chores on a farm,
before tbe regular dav'a work begins,
very naturally desires some life less
exacting and less laborious. He
takes a trip to the nearest city, and
sees the spruce young men with their
hair parted in tbe middle standing in
graccim attitudes behind tbe coun
ters, and he so envies them the
pleasant, elegant life they lead, tbat he
makes op his mind to get there him
self, and if be has nerve enough, bo
docs it. Let us see whether he bas
made a change for tbe better or not.
A. T. Stewart & Co., tbe largest
dry gooas dealers ia the Uaited
States, employ in their uptown store
about seven hundred salesmen of all
grades. These men are ruled by a
discipline as rigid as that of a Prus
sian army. They are required to be
on Lad at seven in the morning to
answer io ineir uames a; roa-cau, uuu
take their places. If thev are behind1

salaries. Sickness makes no differ

he is not discharged, but ! kiss. Bah ! The idea but I can't
deducted, and there is no j dwell on this. Bcecher swears vig
'.i jwed. The greit mer- ously, dramatically and forcibly. His
arneai !-
chant k nows nothing of the eircutn-
stances of bis men, nor does be want
to know. He wants work for his
money if he gets the work you get
vour money, ail ue agrees io pj
and that is all there is of it. Your
mother may die, or your child
you pay for the time to attend the
funeral.
Of course work so exacting is well
paid for Is it? Ltt us see. The
lowest salary paid to regular sales
men in this establishment is seven
dollars per week, and the highest 1
iwfntv' tli orpfit maioritr of them !
receiving from twelve to fifteen dol -
lars per week. Out of this twelve to j
fifteen dollars tbe salesman bas to ;
pay first, 6even dollars per week for
board and 6ucb board! For tbat
sum be gets a room eight by ten feel,
in an attic, and two meals per day of
the cheapest and meanest the markets I wainscoting or ncn woods, tne ircs
afford, cooked in the vilest and most coed ceilings, the stairs softly carpet
atrocious stvle possible bis; wahiog led in warm colors, plea.e the eye
costs Lira not less than one dollar per i wherever it turns. A word to a ser v
week for cleanliness is required ant, and a luxurious upholstered ele
which leaves him but fcur dollars. : vator bears one to his room, which
Then he pays at least one dollar per
week for carfare, postage stamps,
aDd other incidentals, leaving him
three dollars to go on for clothes and
such novelties. He gets sick occa
sionally, and losing an hour now and
then is unavoidable, all of which
makes large holes in his small sal
ary. Tosumitallup.be works like a

hours per day, and gets
stinted living, and nothinj
mosl i
more.
Manv a srood-lookinj clei k iu Stew
art's this day would expose naked
feet if be took bis boots off, for goiug
without stockings saves the cost of
buying and the cost of washing.
And the wearing of black scarfs to
cover the shirt front is not generally
a matter of taste. The shirt costs
three dollars and the washing costs
twelve and a half cents every time.
A black scarf and a collar is made to
do duty for a shirt.
And" these poor fellows dare not
strike for better pay, or complain in
any way. Should one intimate a
desire for more, off goes his bead,
and a hundred stand ready and ea
ger to take his place. And what is
the ultimate reward for this? Promo
tion comes in time to those who have
especial fitness and more than super
human industry and energy. In
sucb an establishment, if you live
long enough, and know enough, you
can get up tbe magnificent salary of
twenty-four dollars per week!
Young man, if you don't like your
farm lenrn a trade, but avoid the
counter. A good mechanic can al
ways get work at some price, and
when business is good at good prices,
but tbe counter-jumper, Jleven help
him, is as complete a slave as a
South Carolina negro before tbe war.
What becomes of tLera when they
get old the Lord only knows. Prob
ably they never get old. It is likely
that boarding-house bash and steak
does its perfect work on them before
tbey reach thirty, and tbat they go,
if tbey were pious and good, where
they will be in no danger of meeting
any of their greedr employers. How
sweet it must be for one of Stewart's
twelve dollar clerks to die!
Don't. I bee of you, ever think of
clerkinc in anv of its forni9. Don't
o y
be a salesman, a book-keeper, a any
thing about the great mercantile
concerns. They are prizes to be
drawn, but the Kentucky Library
was a certainty in comparison
Where one gets a prize ten thousand
draw blanks, and a blank in this
line of life is the blankest thing in the
world.
WHAT UEROIl IS DOING.
Henry Bergh, who is hated bv
every two-legged brute in New York,
has enlarged his spberc of operations.
He has survived all the sneers and
jibes at bis Society for tbe Preven
tion of Cruelty to An;raals, and has
got tbe brute truckmen aud car-dri
vers down to a verv decent point.
Now he has organized a Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children
He proposes to stand between help
less children and cruel guardians,
and more than that, to take the
thousands upon thousands of home
less children of the city under his
charge. He will take them out of
the s.rect, place them where they wiil
be cared for, have them educated and
taught to be useful men and women.
There is no wider field of philanthro
pby or one in which more good can
be done. Tbe drunken father or
mother will not be allowed to beat
a helpless child at will if sucb a
parent keeps control of its child, it
will be not Bergh's fault The Ital
ian padrone who imports young chil
dren, and trains them as street beg
gars, and tbe whole race ot thieves
and mendicants who use children to
get money for themselves, will find
Bergh in their way, and so clothei
with authority as to make his inter
position effective. All honor to
Henry Bergh, the practical philan
thropist. BEECHER.
Beecher has Leen on tbe stand for
six days, but has developed nothing
new. His time has been taken up in
explanations, all of which are satis
tory to his friends and entirely un-
fiAti&fuptnrv tn thnso nnnnsoH to liim
? P!,y tbat,a nian occupying his
nAcitimi chAiil.l Kara i)nna e.t m a wr
positiou should have cone so many
things that require such elaborate
explanation. And likewise is it curi
ous that Beecher's denials are taken
as truth withoul question by so many
people who refuse to believe a word
of Tilton, Moulton, or Mrs. Moulton.
Beecher denies point-blank the
truth of every allegation, and pro
fesses to be able to account for every
letter or document produced against
him in a way tbat will establish bis
innocence to the satisfaction of the
world. I earnestly hope he may,
but I am bound to sy he has not
done it yet. To-day be stands pre
cisely where be did six months ago,
except that his staten eats have now
tbe strength that an oath in court
gives. He has no: accounted for tbe
letters, or tbe money, or anything
else connected with the matter inany
way conclusive. In short, to tbe
ordinary intellect, his statements are
too thin for credence. If he is inno
cent of the crime charged, he is, and
bas been, tbe most simple-minded,
idiotic old innocent tbat ever lived,
aod bis friends would be justified in
asking for a guardian. If be was
innocent, one straight statement, one
bingle, manly blow from the shoulder
would have scattered tho conspiracy
and fixed him firmer than ever in the
affections of his people.
Had he been innocent be could
have defied the alleged combination,
and could Lave made Brooklyn tool

There is fun ia this tragedy, how

wiih private batb, or the same taste
and care ia furnishing which one
finds to the very roof of the Talmer

Sherman, or the Grand Pacific. As
a rule, the New York laudlord is less
attentive and conciliating than the
Chicago one. Outside of bare routine,
the traveler in New York need ex
pect neither care or notice. He pays

Bryan and Elijah Atkinson, both

day for the double crime of murder
and arson in June, 1874. They en
tered a country store near Graham-
ville, robbed the clerk . iu .hare,

fire to the premises. The execution
was witnessed by about five thous
and persons. There was no distur
bance. The murderers made full
confession and professed penitence.
Considerable excitement prevailed
among the colored element in Charles

the mulatto policeman, who, when
drunk, murdered an Irish policeman
last fall, is to be pardoned by the eel
ored Lieutenant Governor (Gleaves)

Hazeltox, Pa , April 14 Tbe ex
citement which began here some
four weeks ago has s far subsided
as to leave no items of importance to
communicate to-night. Inquiries at
military headquarters, as well as
among beth operators and miners,
fail to produce any reports of import
ant movements in any quarter.
The troops retain their respective
positions as announced in the earlier
dispatches of tbe campaign. No
official iLt3.1igncj has yet been re
ceived from the eheriff io bis de

troops, and tha impression still pre
vails tbat the necessity for their pres
ence has not been removed.
It is reported that have been made
to have tbe First Philadelphia rtgi
ment recalled aod ibeir places sup
plied by another regiment, and that
General Osborne strongly objects to
such a ciiange being made, as it was
his earned request tbat the First

and he desires their presence so loug
as he remains. The newspaper re

have already gone home.
Wilresbarre, April H- The
miners ol the Lehigh aud Wilkeabarre
company are fully determined not to
resume work unless their demands
for an advance of ten per cent, was
granted. A committee of five min
ers from District No. 12, Miners'
National Union, of Wilkesbarre, pub
lished a state ce: 1 1 -d y aaaotn icg
that the ueu would stay out for three
months yet, or longer if necessary.
The Hyde Park miners are furnish
ing money for the Wyoming miners.
They seem to have plenty of funds,
and the fight between them and the
company is further than ever from a
solution. On Saturday last $300 1
were sent here, aud tbe president and
secretary of yesterday's meeting stat
ed that $3,000 are expected within a
few day3 for tbe maintenance of their
rights.
There are 10,000 men of the Le
high and Wilkesbarre company alone
who are idle, and several thousand
more of operators who are awaiting
the action of the company, and tbe
miners. No outrages of any kind
have been committed, and there are
no fears of any in this section at
prcseut unless there should be an ef
fort to vole upon resumption, which
would be prevented at all hazards.
Business is badly prostrated through

PiTTB.sinGir, April 15. In ac

Association at their meeting last
night, a number of the principal
firms resumed active operations to

ed in preparing to start up, so tbat in
a week or leu days all will, doubtless,
be at work.
Tbe following is the resolution
which declared the lockout broken,
and which was unanimously agreed
to. After a preamble setting forth
the facts tbat notwithstanding there
bas been no visible improvement iu
tbe price of manufactured iron, and
the representations which were made
to the puddlers a', tbe commencement
of the difficulty apply with equal
force, at the preseut time several
firms whose co-operation bad been
depended upon, had for certain reas
ons started their furnaces at $5.50
per ton. It was resolved tbat in
view of their action, and tbe fact tbat
Western mills are running; and tak-
ingthe trade which largely belong to
Pittsburgh, we deem it inexpedient
to longer continue the suspension of
our mills, and that we all, or as many
of us as desire, resume work at $5.50

mines. Tbe works of Charles Hutch
inson, near Kingston, have been idle
since the strike was first inaugurated
in this valley, but c al sufficient to
keep tbe machinery running was
mined, fturing this week, however,
the plan ot intimidation practiced in
Hazleton region before the outbreak
was begun among Mr. Hutchinson's
workmen. On Thursday morning
tbe few miners who had been dig
;ing the coal to run the engine re
iused to enter the mines again
through fear of their lives if thev did
so. David Foster, tbe mine boss,
bas been threatened with death if he
does not stop work. Several labor
ers have also been threatened. If
the men are thus intimidated any
length of time serious damage to tbe
mines will be tbe result. These are
the first instances of the kiud in the
Wyoming region during this strike,
and if they spread to tbe other col
Ieries or are continued the operators
will have to ask for protection for
men to mine coal for tbe engines.

I'nlon Pacific flood.
Omaua, April 17. Official reports! New York, April 1C A Totts
from tbe sceue of the flood on the ville (Pa ) dispatch says that the
Union Pacific Railroad state tbat lust secret of the remarkably .ong con
night Superintendent Karlo walked ; inuancc of tbe strike, and the miners
through from the west to Green Riv-J living so comfortably and keeping so
or ctiMnn x.xtrvn hrii ires are rroritj
west of there, and tbe road washed
badiv. Tbe water rose three feet:
yesterday aud is still rising npidly.
Omaha, April 17. The river here
has fallen ten inches in the last 24
hours. It is still impossible to tell
to what extent the road bed on the
Uuion Pacific is damaged. Tbe dis
trict is about 175 m'les in length, but
it is only at occasional places tbat
any damage is done. Tbe water has
receded some to-day. West bound
passengers lying at Rmk Swings
have been transferred to W.ceu liver
br wagons, and east bound passen
gers vice-versa. The railroad com
pany are caring for tbem as kindly
a3 circumstances will admit. There
are about eight hundred emigrants
and three hundred passengers lying
here waiting for tbe removal of tbe
blockade. The company are also
caring for emigrants here at their
own expense. As soon as the water
recedes sj tbat it can be done, tbey
will put on a line of stages, and trans
fer the passengers and mails over tbe
break.
Salt Lake, April 17. The flood
in the valley of Bitter Creek, Wy
oming, is still reported on tbe in
crease. Three Uuion Pacific bridges
are now reported gone, as also the
road bed iu many places, aud thaC
nothing can be done toward repairs
till the water falls. The trouble ex
tends for a distance of about ten
miles. Four teams came through
from Rock Springs to Green river
station to-day, having been charter
ed by some passengers to bring them
over the hills. A freight train was
expected to leave Ogden to-day, but
was discontinued on account of an
other wash-out reported this side of
Green river. Tbe mountain streams
are rising, on account of tbe rapidly
melting snow, and there will proba
bly be difficulties from this cause at
other points soon. There can be no
time fixed for trains to commence
running again, as that ill depend
on the weather, which is now quite
warm, and, there being an unusual
amount of snow, damage to the track
will probably increase rather than di
minish for the next week or ten days.
ANOTHER H.4SSACIHSETTS DAM.
Destructive flood in Norfolk t'onnty.
Boston, April IS. A tremendous
flood, with disastrous results, occur
red last evening1 in the towns of
Wrentbam and Norfolk, about twenty-five
miles distant, by the breaking
away of a dam which restrains the
water of Wbiton's pond, the sources
of the Mill river. This is a small
river not over twenty-five feet broad
at low water, but running with a
strong current, mostly through mead
ow land and emptying into the
Charles river at Medway. At this
time an immense body of water was
con6ned in the pond by a dam about
one hundred feet in length on tbe
Wrentbam and Franklin country
road. Tbe sudden bursting of tbe
pond through this dam burled a
tremendous flood upon tbe lands be
low, sweeping away mills, bridgs,
countrv roads and dams in ita course
and causing damage to tbe extent of
between $110,000 and $200,000.
Half a mile belew this mill was the
aaw and grist mill of the Eliot Felt
ing Company, known as Fisher's
mill. Such was the force of the water
on reaching here, that it burst the
thirty foot dam and carried along the
saw-mill portions ofthe establishment
as though it was a toy ship.
On rushed the waters three-fourths
of a mile through the low lands to
where there were located woolen and
shoddy mills belonging to the felling
company. Both ends of tbe dam
were washed away, and below the
mills a large heap of coal deposited
for the use at tbe mills.
Seventy rods furtheron, the great
dam at the Eliot felting mills was
met. Tuip, with the road from the
mills to Franklin Centre, beneath
which the river runs, offered a sub
stantial resistance to the rushing
current. ' The road, however, soon
yielded allowing the full force of the
water to strike against the long dam.
Meanwhile tbe inhabitants of Frank
lin and Wrentbam rendered valuable
assistance to the vatchman at tbe
mills in opening a place in the dam,
hoping to save a portion of the same.
Their labors were successful and,
although fifty feet of tbe dam was
carried away, the mills were saved.
Down the stream half a mile furth
er, was the track of the New Eng
land and New York Railroad, some
forty or fifty feet above the river bed.
Beneath this the water usually pass
ed by an arched culvert about teu or
fifteen feet in width. Here the wa
ters, with seemingly increased power,
forced out tbe stone culvert as if it
were constructed with pebbles. So
firm was tbe embankment of sand
above tbe culvert that ii stocd ap
parently intact for tbe space of au
hour, and then being undermined, it
caved in for a distance of 150 to 200
feet, forming an impassabl. barrier to
the water above. When the road
bed sank . a freight train was within
one hundred feet of the place, though
not in motion.
PAt tbe great volume of water had
already paased tbe railroad aud bur
ned on to the achievement or its
greatest feat, forty rods below, at tbe
City Cotton mills. Tbe mill was
originally a tbree-story wooden build
ing, but latterly was unlargcd by tbe
addition ot a wing on each end. lue
bridge over the couutry road suc
cumbed, and then tbe water, obtain
iuga firm hold on tbe main building,
IT. . 1 ?. i . . .
lined it and sent it crashing to tne
meadows below. So thorough was
the work of demolition, that the cu
pola alone remained standing upon the
plaio. .. Ihe machinery aud water
wheel shared the fate ofthe structure.
Tbe wings were left standing, but so
badly wreuched and undermined tbat
they are probably ruined and will
have to come down.
. Down the stream aain about half
a mile, was another country road
bridge, near Kingsbury pond. This
was snapped from tbe foundations,
almost at tbe approach of the waters,
and carried away. On the level
space between the road and the river,
the waters spread out and ceased
their work of destruction.
A Sad Traaredy.
St. Louis, April 10. Mrs. Irwin,
a highly respectable young widow
lady, of Hannibal, tied a clothes line
around herself and little girl six
years old, fastened the other end to a
stake io tbe ground, and then taking
the child in her arms deliberately
walked into Bear creek and both
were drowned. - Financial embar
rassment and disappointment ia
love is understood to be the cause of
tbe act.
The Winers' Wr.
always heretofore pursued by the
merchants. It was impossible at the
outset to refuse to trust regular cus
tomers who bad always hitherto paid
promptly, and as no one knew how
soon suspension would end, the
merchants were obliged to keep on
"throwing good money after bad," ia
tbe desperate hope that a favorable
turn in the financial tide would
bring it all back again. But a crisis
is at band. Wholesale dealers have
taken tho alarm, and arc refusing to
sell goods to this region except for
cash, and without fresh supplies re
tailers will soon have natbing for
their customers but empty shelves
One firm of general dealers is credited
with $42,000 already invested
in tbe strike. Many others have"
from $5,000 to $20,000 on their
books.
John Siney, President of the Na
tiocl Labor Association, is quoted
as saying, "The strike is on its last
feet."
Tbe Philadelphia & Reading Rail
road Las adopted a plan of running
pioneer engineers ahead of all passen
ger trains, and find, great advantage
in so d jiog.
The miners themselves are becom
ing very sick of the contest, and are
leaviug in considerable numbers for
other parts of the country. It is
said that tbe way they anathematize
the Miners' Union is something fear
ful, bu: they know better than to
bolt. Not enough of thetn will leave,
however, to make any material
difference in the quantity of eoal
mined.

Rough Treatment of a northerner
the Woods of Tenaeoee.
in
Memphis, April 17. A young
man, named Julius D. Lavarda, ar
rived here to-day on tbe steamer
Grand Tower, from Hale's Toint.
He relates that some three weeks
since be lauded there and started for
Dyersburg a foot. In the woods he
met a negro, who begged him for
money to obtain food, and in giving
him some he thoughtlessly displayed
his pocket-book, seeing which tbe
negro drew a pistol and fired at him,
tbe ball striking hioi in the top of
tbe bead, partially stunning him.
Tbe negro then stabbed him several
times with a pocket knife and, after
robbing him, fled. A farmer living
near, having heard the shot and the
screams of Lavarda, hastened to tbe
spot and had him conveyed to his
bouse, where he lay for several days
unconscious, but yesterday Le was
enabled to leave for this city, to
which point bis passage was paid by
his ho.-t. Lavarda states that his
father 13 a farmer near Newark, New
Jersey, and that he has a brother
who is a wholesale merchant in New
York. He will be cared for by tbe
Chief of Police until his friends can
be heard from.
