Flare mp on the Water WorkS.-ln consequence
Of rumors that there were serious riots on the
line of the Croton Aqueduct, the Mayor ordered
out company or two Of infantry and squadron
of horse to proceed 10 Harlaem. There appear
ed to be no Iiot nor trouble; the laborers had
knocked off in order to get an advance of their
wages, from rs cents to ST. 90 PEI day, from the
contractors, but they had done no injury 10 the
works, as was rumored.
There is report in town that the Governor
had sent word to the Commissary General that
the laborers on the Erie Canal had refused tc
work and were riotous, and that two men had
been killed. This is probably mere rumor.-

was the very thing so much desired. 1t is a
hair mattress, the division sides of India rubber
and the edge filled with cork. 1t has an open
ing in the centre, into which a person gets,
with feet of India rubber, and he fills it above
his waist and draws the aperture tight around
him. 1t thus forms canoe, something like the
Esquimaux, and attached to each mattrass is
a paddle; not only does it accommodate the
person, but the aperture is large enough for
provisions and valuable effects, and being
buoyant, it cannot fail to preserve person a
long time in the water and enable him to pad

MISERABLE CASE OF A WEAVER

very worthy poor weaver applied to his
master about three weeks since, begging ear
nesily for work, stating that he was in great
want, and would thankfully do any thing for
the means of supporting his existence. His
master assured him that he did not want any
more goods, his stock being very heavy, with
out any sale, and that he could not give out
more work TO any one. The man pressed We
ry much, and at length his master said, "Wel,
Jonathan, lift is absolutely necessary for you
to weave piece to prevent you from starving,
will let you have it, but cannot give you more
than Is for it, Us is the regular price) for
really do not want any more goods made up for
a long time to come"
''Let me have it, master, | beg" said the
poor man, "whatever you pay me for it, pray
let me have it,
The piece was given TO him to weave, and
at the end Of TWO days he brought it home,
and on carrying it to his master, begged Of him
to give him Is. Cd. for it, saying how much he
was distressed for money. His master paid him
the Is. Cd, and the man went away. The mas
ter feeling very uncomfortable about the poor
man, thinking that the earnestness of his man
ner must arise from excessive want, determim-
ed on following him home.
He went to the cottage of the weaver, and

went TO the upper room, when he saw the poor
man lying on his bed, just in the agonies of
death, with his mouth open, and his hands
clasped; and after short CONFUSION he expir-
red. The master was very much distressed,
and came down STAIRS hoping to be able to
save the wife, who was in very emaciated

basin, intending to carry it up to her husband.

WASHINGTON CRY, March %, 1910.
My Dear Sir-I have seen with mnch pleasure the
prospectus of paper to be edited and published by
you in the city of Baltimore and devoted to the sup
port of Gen. Harrison for the Presidency. This is
in my opinion, most important move in very many
PARTICULARS and especially, in relation to the coming
contest in Georgia Possessing, you certainly do
the confidence of the State Rights party, the inor
nation you will be enabled to give of the opinions
and views of Gen. Harrison, in regard to Southern
rights and interests will unqestionably have most
decided influence over the action of the party at the
convention to be held in June next, for the purpose of
Presidency.
l am of opinion that nothing is required but
the TRUTH to be spread before the people, to secure the
nomination of Harrison You aware that Geor-
gia voted for Tyler for the Vice Presidency in 1886
His being on the ticket will be of great service As
unfavorable as appearances now are, am of opin-
ion that Georgia will for Harrison and Tyler, if
the Convention shall nominate them.
