the employers conceded to the wishes of
the men in demand, there being but about
twenty who refused TO comply with the re-
quests Of their employees. Since the COM

Der Of their employers have expressed their
willingness to give the advance, and conse-
quently the men have returned to work. Of
the men on strike few are supported at
the expense of the society, the amount al
lowed them being So per week. At
the meeting held yesterday it was reported
that of the whole number of shops in JERSEY
City but one had refused to comply with
the demiuhds of the society men, and this
shop had been placed "on strike" In

their respective societies will be inauQura-

Success Of a CO.Operativo COIIiery.

|
The story of the Briggs colliefy, in York
shlre, England, OF which most persons who
are interested in cooperation have heard,
has just been published in the sixth report
OF the Trades Union Commission. Briggs
q Co. were the proprietors of large coal
mines. They found their business in 1855
after ten years of difficulties, on the verge
Of ruin through strikes, quarrels and ''plav
days. They were at the mercy of their
men, who, Mr.. Briggs says, 'seemed ut
terly reckless as to what loss they inflicted
on their employers and fellow-workmen. I"
In that year, therefore, almost in despair,
the firm was dissolved and Joint stock
company substituted. The old partners
reserved 5000 out of 5000 shares, of $50
each, the rest being offered to the work
men or any one who choose to buy.
Then it was arranged that capital should
have, tirst, ten per cent of the profits; the
remainder to be divided into two equal
parts-one half to go to capital, in further
remuneration; the remainder to be divid-
cd amongst the employees of all kinds as q
bonus proportioned to earnings. The ex-
pertinent has been a complete success.
Before the change the firm rarely made
five per cent, on their capital; they now
realize ten per cent. always and a surplus,
divided as we have described. The shares
are at twenty-five per cent premium.
Strikes have ceased. Mr.. Briggs has very
much more control over the men than he
ever had, in fact, and says he sis infinitely
more proprietor than before" Moreover,
the Trades Union organization has been
driven out of the district; and, more won
derful than all, the employers have to in
terfere to prevent the laborers working
each other too hard. What if the proprie,
tors of the great collieries here, in such
abodes of bliss as Mauch Chunk, were to
try this experiment.

A CURIOUS SUICIDE. E.-One of the most Gu
rious cases of suicide of which we ever
heard, occurred in this city last Saturday.
A German residing in the south part of the
city had been sick about ten days, and his
physician informed him that he could not
hope to recover. During his sickness, a
rope had been suspended from the ceiling
over the bed, which he had used, when
necessary to pull himself up to sitting
posture Last Saturday afternoon his wife,
who was at work in the kitchen, was at
tracted to the room of the sick man by his
peculiar breathing On reaching the room
she found that he had takena handkerchief
and tied it around his neck, then pulled
himself up and made it fast to the rope
over the bed. He then let himself fall and
strangulation was the result When dis
covered by his wife life was nearly extinct.
The rope was Immediately cut, but he died
during the afternoon. He was buried last
Sunday. Fond du Lac Commonwealth,

A MEXICAN TRA1N-CUR1ous SpEcr1o1r

A MEXICAN TRAIN-CURIoUs SPEcTAcLE.-
large train of Mexican wagons and CARA
tons arrived in our city on Saturday, load
ed with flour. The carratons were even
curiosities to San Antonio, being a simple
cart, with lofty covering, and drawn by a
team of five mules. The teams were ali
matched, and the finest lot ever brought to
this city from Mexico. The owner, large
fine looking specimen of the Mexican, ac-
companied the train, mounted on a splen-
did mule, caparisoned with elegant Mexi-
can saddlery. The train expects to take
back cotton if it can be bought. Consid-
ering that this train comes from Leon, in
the State of Guanajuata, at least thou
sand miles from this city, the animals look
in fine condition. The return of Mexican
trade to this city will cause an increase Of
our prosperity, and railroad to the Gull
would do much to secure this desired re-
sult'-San antonio (Terds) Express, 2Sh

POISONED BY BOLOGNA SAUsAaEs. The
entire family Of Mr., Seth Codding were
poisoned at New Bedford, Mass, on Satur-
day, by eating Bologna sausage. They all
ate Of the sausage at breakfast, and were
attacked between noon and midnight with
severe vomiting, cramps, and diarrhea,
the usual symptoms of cholera morbus.
The family consists of Mr. Codding and
wife, daughter and son. The last about
seventeen years of age, is the most
seriously affected. The sausage was
thought to be very nice one, and
on that account Mrs. Codding sent q
piece to a married daughter, Mr.. Holder
W. Potter, living near by, who eat two very
thin slices, and has been attacked similarly
to the others, though not 30 severely as
some Of them. Mrs. Potter has o nursing
child nine months old, which is also un-
well, probably from the mothers milk be-
ing impregnated with the poison. They
are all supposed to be out Of danger An
examination of piece of the sausage un-
der microscope, discovered no trace OF
trichina, and it is thought that the poison
ing was the effect of tainted meat. The sau-
sage yeing Every good, or in other words,
very tender, shows that it was just on the
point Of putrefaction.
