The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1869-07-29

A serious affray occurred between two
men named John Mouse and George Hall,
in Allegheny township, on Thursday last.
They got into quarrel at log rolling,
when Hall struck Mouse a very severe blow
on the head with hand spike, and Mouse re-
torted by dealing Hall a glancing blow in
the lace with an axe, which inflicted very
ugly cash, but fortunately some one stand
Ing by caught Mouse's arm in time to pre-
vent the full force of the stroke from falling
with fatal effect Had it been otherwise we
would doubtless be called upon to record
another homicide. We have not learned
that any arrests were made.
The Great International Hippocomique
and New York Circus exhibited in this place
on Monday, afternoon and night, and their
entire performances gave very general satis>
faction. The two clowns were exceedingly
witty and original, the leapers, tumblers and
vaulters were fully equal to any we ever
saw, and the performances Of Miss Annie
Robinson on the slack wire, as well as on
horseback, were certainly very excellent
The music was also tip-top, and all the 9TH
er features of the entertainment were, we
think, as good as the best. Some of our ex-
changes led us to believe that it was hum
bug, but If it was we confess we failed to see
wherein the humbug consisted.
1t has been no uncommon occurrence of
late for our friends, Messrs. Geo. M. Riddle
and w. G. Keller, to pay us a pop visit,
but this week they came fanked by that
big, hearted and whole-souled gentleman,
Ex-Sheriff Bechtel, and we feel that such a
trio of clever fellows deserve something more
than silent admiration. They all enjoyed
themselves witnessing the match game of
base ball, the big show, and other sights
and scenes hereaway on Monday. Mr.. Bech-
tel, it may not be out of place to say, is a
soliciting salesman for Messrs. Newburger
& Hechstadter, Wholesale Clothiers, Phia-
delphia. and as it is good firm and repres-
ented by good man, we hope it will secure
a good trade in this "neck of timber" So
mote it be. -
Our County Commissioners returned few
days since from tour of inspection of the
jails of Centre, Butler. and other counties.
which they visited with the view of obtain
ing model for the new Jail about to be
erected in this place. They have determin-
ell upon the erection of building combin-
ing the advantages of both the Centre and
Butler jails, which they deemed the most
perfect, and an architect is to be employed
without delay to get up the designs and
specifications for that purpose. The sum
of $40 900 has been set apart for the erec-
tiou of the new Jail. and as the present build
ing will serve for the accommodation of the
Sheriff and his family, the amount named
will doubtless put up commodiouS and
perfectly secure edifice.

MoUNTAINBER vs.. KIcKENBPAwLING.-
The return match game of base ball between
these two clubs was played on the grounds
of the former, iu this place, on Monday af-
ternoon last, and resulted in the complete dis
com6ture of the latter named club-so much
50 that we fear it will "throw up the sponge"
for all time to come. The score which we
append will show that the contest was
by no means spirited one, neither club
doing as good playing as we know them to
be capable of. Where the Mountaineers are
to find competitors in the future we know
not, unless they challenge some of the city
clubs.

and contending social influences serve SINH
lar purpose OF causing motion between them.
Their consequences are to be dreaded, now
ever, when nothing less than the extinction OF
the one will satisfy the other. Nothing can be
more obvious than that labor is indebted to
capital for one-half Of its power. Left to its
own resources it can neither be properly diff
fused, nor proftably directed. Its results are
wasted in place where they are not required,
while in another locality they would find their
natural value A large portion of the grain OF
the Mississippi valley would be as useless as
the carcasses of Australian sheep, were means
of transport equally wanting to convey it to
the proper markek A truth so obvious is only
needed to show the suicidal tendency Of all
movements which would eXalt any one inter-
est of society by the extinction Of another.
The growing intelligence of workingmen,
and the rectifying influence of practice .over.
theory, will doubtless prevent the diffusion OF
such errors as we have alluded to. Meanwhile
the extension of facilities for international
communication, and the gradual weakening OF
international jealousies, may reasonably be ex-
pected to counteract the deadliest evil which
labor has to undergo-its aggregation In ex-
ceSsive masses. 1t has been remarked, that
as the struggle for existence becomes less In
tense, the society thus relieved assumes high
er level which it does not readily lose. In our
Eastern centres of population we are already
beginning to experience some OF the industrial
phenomena which have already been felt by
older communities. The recoil from such a
pressure, which may naturally be expected
will leave society free to attain further stage
of development which will serve to prevent
the recurrence of such an evil. And so by
successive stages, the gradual elevation of the
status and dignity of labor will be found to be
accomplished.

IMPORTANT MEETING.
The Asheville Railroad Extension.

In accordance with previous announcement,
a meeting of the friends Of the extension Of
the Spartanburg and Union Railroad to Ashe-
vile, North Carolina, was held in the court
house on Tuesday night, the 10th instant
Delegations from Charleston, Columbia, Union
and Asheville, North Carolina, were present
On motion, Colonel Gage, of Union, was made
chairman of the meeting, and R. W. Shand,
secretary.
The chairman briefly explained the object of
the meeting, after which letters from Ashe-
vile and Columbus, North Carolina, were
read, expressive of the deep interest felt by
the people of Western North Carolina in the
extension of the Spartanburg and Union Rail-
road, and appointing delegates to attend the
meeting in Spartanburg.
BY request, Colonel Blake, OF Ashevillc, made
some interesting remarks in relation to the
enterprise, showing that there are but two
gaps to be provided for to make the connection
between Louisville and Charleston complete.
The one between Morristown ard Cumberland
Gap-forty miles-is already partially provided
for, leaving only the gap between Spartanburg
and Asheville-seventy milcs-to be built. An
extract from letter, written by Colonel Fink,
superintendent of the Louisville and Nashville
Road, was read, in which the writer expressed
the liveliest interest in this extension, which,
il built, would influence the building OF q
branch Of the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road to Cumberland Gap.
Mr. Jeter, president Of the Spartanburg and
Union Railroad, being called upon, made a
long and interesting speech, in which he pro-
posed plan to remove the present indebted
ness Of the Spartanburg and Union Railroad,
and then mortgage the road to secure and to
complete the extension.
DR.. Winsmith then made some very inter-
esting remarks as to the great benefit this ex-
tension will prove to the State at large, and
advocated applying to the Legislature for State
aid.
DR.. Vandyer, in few interesting and anus.
ing remarks, advocated immediate action, Of
fering the enterprise subscription Of land.
On motion of Colonel Cannon, our members
of the Legislature were requested to act as q
committee, and the directors were authorized
to appoint committee to cooperate with
them in an endeavor to secure State aid for
completion Of this enterprise.
