A serio.Comical Affair.

New YORK, August 22.-One of the
most serio-comical affairs ever perpe-
trated in this city was the arrest to-day
of the whole Board of Common Coun-
cilmen for contempt of Judge Barnard,
of the Supreme Court, in not Obeying
All injunction of said court. The writs
for the arrest had been in the hands of
the Sheriff for several days, but they
could not be found. BY preconcerted
arrangement the Councilmen met quiet
ly at their rooms in the City Hall TO-
day and proceeded to transact business.
They had just passed resolution ad-
mitting the FIVE members to whom they
had heretofore denied that right, and
by that denial brought themselves into
contempt of the order of Judge Bar
nard, when the deputies of the Sheriff
appeared in their midst and declared
them all under arrest. A motion to adj
journ was carried. They then formed
in line, and, headed by the Sheriff and
his deputies, marched to the Supreme
Court. The court had, however, ad-
journed, when the Sheriff put them each
under parole to appear next Tuesday,
and they dispersed. The whole affair
is regarded here as farce.

NEW YORK. August 22.-There is a
little unpleasantness at the Springfield
armory and workshop. About two
months ago an order came from Wash
incton making eight hours a days
work, and since that time the men have
been working on that system, with the
understanding that their pay was to
continue without reduction. On Thurs
day, however, Colonel Benton told the
men informally that he had instructions
from headquarters that their wages
would be cut down proportionately;
that all who wished could work ten
hours and receive their old pay for the
same. This was an unlocked fer turn
in affairs, and all hands quit as usual
at four o'clock, with the determination
to work only eight hours and take the
chance of receiving full pay.

return to the prohibitory liquor law,
closing as follows: Impressed with
these views we urge yen to select dele
gate to the approaching Republican
State Convention who, on this question,
