that all who saw it thought the boy must be

night.
During the evening the fact became pub
lie that Thomas Jenkins Fox, member of
Hook and Ladder No>.2, Girod street, was
mot at home and had not been seen since
morning. Members of the company were
acquainted with this circumstance, and
could not longer resist the belief that he
was buried in the ruins Of Tattersalps s
stable. Proceeding under this belief they
set to work at the stable last night digging
in the debris with energy. At eleven o'clock
last night they had made no discovery Of
his remains. His brother was there, firmly
believing that Thomas must be killed. Mr.

THE BATON ROUGE RIOT
Thirteenth Days Examination

Near the hour Of two o'clock P NJ, yes
terday, the court was opened for the con-
tinuance Of the Baton Rouge riot cases.
When Commissioner Grant took his seat,
Mr.. New, for the defense, rose and said, in
effect, that the counsel for the defense here
rested their case. They had more testi'
mony at hand, but considered its produc-
ton needless. After consultation, the cOun-
sci on both sides had agreed to submit the
case without argument. AS the evidence
had shown that the case docs not come
within the provisions of the enforcement
act, he asked that the persons yet remain
ing in custody be uncenditionally dis
charged.
Mr. Fuoua then made q few remarks, in
which after slightly aliuding to the harsh
treatment the accused persons received
when first arrested, he paid glowing COM
pliment to the officials at the Parish Prison,
whose treatment OF their prisoners had
been most kind and courteous. The cOun-
sel also expressed his sense of the fairness
and ability Of the ruling of Commissioner
Grant throughout. The accused persons
and their counsel were happy in having the
examination conducted by lawyer and a
gentleman. Mr.. Fuqua alsospoke in terms Of
eulogy of the course pursued by Mr.. Gurley
in opening the case, and of Mr.. Beckwith
in conducting it throughout, and Of the
obvious desire of those gentlemen to see
that justice was done without undue harsh
ness.
Mr.. Beckwith expressed his qualification
that the course pursued by the court and
counsel for the prosecution had impressed
the accused and their counsel; that the gov
ernment desired nothing but a fair examina-
ton. 1t was for the court to decide whether
! a case for the government ad been made
out.
Commissioner Grant said that tomorrow
he would be prepared to render his decision.
The court then adjourned till ten o'clock
thismOrning.

An engagement occurred at Gernley to-
day, between a body Of csrTireurs
from the department of Eastern Pyrennees
and Prussian column. The latter was
well supplied with artillery. In the after
noon the fight was extended to the village
Of Nuts, where the Francs-Tireurs were
supported by the Garde Mobile from the

French were successful. The Prussian loss
was severe, their dead strewing the road

were taken by the French.

THE CAR-DRIVERSs STRIKE.

We are not the advocates OF organized,
forcible enforcement of unjust demands of
labor against the fair and equitable COM
pensation to which such labor is entitled to
at the hands of it's employer.
There are. however, instances IN which
there is such great disproportion between
the labor performed and the price paid that
it would seem but justice that such labor
should seek reward beyond the pittance
doled out by corporations, who, because OF
their power, do not choose to deal fairly
with their employees.
In relation to the question at issue be-
tween the car-drivers and the city railroad
companies whether the wages of the former
should be fifty, ifty-fve or sixty dollars per
month, it would appear that these poor and
honest men have, at the best, a very hard
time in earning the sum OF one dollar and
fifty cents per day, at the rate Of fifty-fve
dollars per month.
When we consider that these men have to
perform the work of conductor and driver
standing in their places from fifteen to
eighteen hours cut of twenty-four, for the
daily price above specified, while other
laborers in our city get from two to five dol
lars for nine hours work, can it be strange
that they should desire an additional fifty
cents for the time they are compelled TO be
at their work!
The time that these men are engaged Ell
tirely precludes the possibility of recreation
or enjoyment of the society of their friends
or families There is no vacation for them
on any of the days set apart for rest or as
holiday.
With them it is uRceasing toll for wages
hardly sufficient to keep body and soul to-
gether They are not allowed to choose
their own boarding places in many cases,
but are compelled to take their meals at
such places and for such prices as precludes
them from exercising their own free agency
in this respect, as other free people in this
country are allowed to do.
Considering the great expense of living
in this city, for rent, provisions and cloth
ing, the sum paid to these hard working
men, say $50 or $55 per month, is less than
sufficient to meet these..expenses. Especially
when these men have families, as is the case
with some, of, say wife and two or three
children, how is it then The daily wants
of such a family require the entire daily
wages of 81. so per day, leaving nothing for
the other items, such as rent and clothing.
Even with the small addition demanded
by these worthy men, there is but poor
chance for speculation on their part
"Live and let live" ought to be the notto of
the railroad companies in regard to their
employees, and it will not be very great
sacrifice on their part to accede to these
poorly paid men, and not let the community
suffer by the trouble existing between
them.
Even if these companies should not sub
nit to wnat these laborers seek at their
hands, above all things let there be no
hostile demonstrations on the part of the
car-drivers, OF any of their friends and
sympathizers, for the purpose of obtaining
what they deem their just and equitable de-
