supper.
[From the Ottawa Evening Start
Joseph Brosseau, French Canadian,
aged 55, came home on Saturday night,
about halt. past 8 o'clock, bringing with
him leg of mutton, portion of which
he asked bis wife to cook for his sup
per. She refused, saying the fire was
out, but added that tea and bread and
butter was at his disposal. This recep~
tion appeared to affect him badly, and
he muttered words which were soon to
be verified, in terribly tragic manner
" I'll eat no more of your food" said
he, as he prepared for bed He said
his prayers and laid down, his wife
shortly afterwards joining him. Mrs.
Brosseau states that she awoke about 4
O'clock in the morning, and was startled
at finding herself alone in the room.
She went to the kitclen, which leads
of from the bed room, and found the
door obstrncted. Becoming alarmed,
she searched the bed room and pas
sages, but seeing no signs of her hus-
band, returned to the kitchen door, and
forcing it with all her might, managed
to squeese herselfin. Imagine the poor
woman's terrer at finding that the OBJ
struction was nothing more nor less
than the dead body of her husband,
which hung by the neck to small hook
close to the door. She immediately
raised an alarm, when the neighbors
came rushing in, and the body was cut
down. but life was extinct.

The Railroad Robbers Caught.

RENO, Nov 10y yesterday, Chap
man, one OF the men who broke open
the express box aud robbed il of S4l :
600. near Verdi. on the Central Pacific
Railroad, came down here on the train
from the west, in the same car withsthe
man who was searching for him, with
out the man suspecting Chapman's $
presence. He deliberately went into a
saloon in the upper part OF the city,
pulled off his coat. and sat down by the
fire. About twenty minutes afterward,
officer Edwards, with two of the rob-
bers he had in charge, stepped into the
saloon. One of the robbers said,
Why, Chapman, what brought you
here ?" Edwards put his hand on his
shoulder and said, (" | want you" A
considerable portion of the money was
recovered, and there is no doubt now
that all the robbers have been arrested.
TRUcKEE, Nov. the llth.-Parsons,
Squeers, and another of the gang who
robbed the express car near Verdi, will
be taken to Washoe City, Nevada, by
Capt. j. j. Green and j. f. Dooly, on
requisition from the Governor of
Nevada. All parties engaged in the
robbery are now 10 custody, and nearly
all the treasure recovered, without
firing shot. The officers recovered
yesterday afternoon s1l,700, aud to-
day $3.50 more, about one mile from
the robbers general rendezvous, where
PARTON of them resided for eight days
previous to the robbery. The principal
actors In the affair were parsons, Davis.
Roberts, Carkil, Chapman and Squeers,
the latter of whom gained some patori

stage robbery in Six Mile Canyon, on
the overland route.
SALT LAKE, Nov 10-The party
from here on the track Of the Central
Pacific Railroad robbers, are about 90
miles southwest of Salt Lake These
men had passed some new half dollars
of the San Francisco Mint of 1870, and
had rolls of greenbacks, which led to
suspicion. Later information states
that two of the mail robbers were
caught last night by Mormon authori,
ties, twenty-five miles west of this
city They are on the track of the
Others. In the saddlebags captured
with the robbers was found Sl26 in
greenbacks, 1929 gold coin, some
silver, and a package of gold dust
weighing 28 ounces, and another pack
age weighing 81 ounces. One Of the
robbers attempted to escape, but was
captured Nov 1.-THE same party
of Mormons who captured two men
supposed to have been connected with
the Contra Pacific Railroad robbery,
alter bringing the prisoners into the
city, started out again after the others.
and brought two more in to day. While
they were being pursued, they threw
away their ss idlebags, which have
since been found. They contained a
large amount of greenbacks and Boise
gold dust. and some jewelry. which is
sufficient evidence to convict them |;

OTHER TRADFs.-There IA nothing new to re-
port Of the other trades. The several strikes
noticed during the las: several weeks, are still
in continuance, with, we regret to say, but
little hope Of an early settlement favorable to
the strikers. The wages Of carpenters, ma
sons, and plasterers in Germantown, have been
reduced from twenty-five to fifty cents per
day. In fact, the reduction is being made in
all parts Of the State. In Pottstown, the brick

the season Of 1870: Wages per day, 1895 /;

JOURNEYNES VAKSIsHERs.-A union of disci-
plies of the craft held its annual meeting ON Fri
day night, at the public house, Fifth street,
near Locust. The society is apparently in
creasing in numbers and interest. The cur
rent rate of wages reported to be the some
what low figure of fourteen dollars per week
After discussing o:her matters bearing upon
the good discipline Of the organization, the fol-
lowing salutarY provision was offered and
elected the unanimous appreciation Of those
present
Resolved, That no apprentice shall be taken
for less time than three years, nor without q
written obligation between himself and his
employer that he will serve such time faith
fully, and should be leave before bis time ex-
pires, it shall be the duty Of the employer and
members Of the union working in such shop,
to notify the uniou, that be may be prevented
from working in any other shop represented in
the union.
Numerous additions were made to the mem
bership Of the union. The resolution quoted il
designed to meet q necessity that has long ex-
listed. 1t is not our purpose to 60 into any
dissertation upon the dement's Of the present
loose apprenticeship system. Every reader Of
TIE ADVOCATE has an equal knowledge of them
with ourselves. II turns out, suffice it to say
in this city alone, hundreds of botch workmen
each year, and their aggregate number is now
80 great that they are the most stupendous
obstacle, without exception, to the elevation Of
the mechanic and laborer. The employer suf-
iers in the long r1n, by damage done bis
reputation, through the agency Of this class
who have been aptly titled, Emergency
Men," and profits only BY them at intervals
when he is called upon by his cupidity to re-
sist the demands of good workmen for equita
BILE wages. This, or law of similar purpor
should be adopted BY every trades organization
in the land.

| REHfa-We are Of q loss to divine why it il
that rents continue % high. A contemporary
estimates toat the cost Of building has been
reduced fully twenty-five per cent This Is
rather below than above the actual lessening
10 the cost Of erecting houses, attained through
reduction within the prices OF labor and OF
materiala Il IL contended that these high
tinuance Of the high taxes upon real estate.
This is a spacious plea, yet, we would be very
content to have the City Fathers economize 10
such a way, that all taxes might be lsssened,
not above that Imposed upon real estate /; and
in that way deprive landlords Of their only ex-
cuse, fimsey as il is, for keeping up the pres
ent excessive rental charges.
SMALL BUsIEEss-In . scrap Of paper, per
haps, a week or two old We found rehearsal
Of many frst of April jokes, perpetrated upon
susceptible parties by lovers of fun. Among
the rest, Ia an account of a party who sent
some dozens of men out of employment an
other to part who was represented to have
contracted to make some extensive building
improvements, and 20 be Ia want Of many
banda OF course, the poor fellows were dis
appointed whea they ascertained that the party
applied to had made no contract, and had no
need of more workmen than he had already
engaged. We consider the joke, no joke at all,
but mean deception. No doubt, there was
among the dupes, many who have been vainly
searching for employment for many months,
and to such of them as had large families actu-
ally in want, il was q cruel miWepr" sentAtion.
It generated hope that their troubles, result
ing from the want Of market In which TO dis
pose of their labor, were about to cease, hope
that must have been joyfully entertained BY
the families of those to whom il was communi-
Gated. We have no VOID Of reproach for such
lovers Of fun a. they sre-delight 10 inHicting
merciless tricks upon others-provided always
they exercise the care necessary to first asCer-
tain whether injury will imure to the tricked.
