WAR OF THE LAMPLIGHTERS.
Navel Contention In 30. LOuiR-Ope ratlons of
the Hostile Forces.

The st. Louis Republican of Friday says
The lamp-lighting difficulty remains unad-
iusted. The fact that Mr.. Dunn and Mr.. Elder,
the two contractors, have force of lamp-light-
ers in service, ensures the lighting of the lamps,
even if some collisions occur. Last night Mr..
Elders men commenced work, while Mr.. Dunns
brigade continued their REGULAR operations The
lamps were lighted with unusual promp itude,
but Mr.. Zder claims his competitor started boys
at the work a quarter of an hour before the
proper time. In most instances there were two
lighters for each lamp. Some of the Zider BOYS
got hunt by being knocked on the legs by the
ladders of their rivals. All the lamps being
Hght,A, of course there was no further cause
for. difficulty until the hour for extinquishing
arrived.
Then. however, Mr. Zider states he found the
boys of Mr.. Dunn had withdrawn, and so the
work was done by the new hands. 1t was more
than usually laboTious, for 1t is aVerred in some
localities lamps were frequently relighted AID
had to be as frequently put out
1t was reported yesterday that MIR. Dunn, con-
sidering himself interfered With, had determined
to withdraw his men until the validity of his
contract bad been determined in conrt which it
is expected will be done to-day.

WEATHER REPORT.
Synopsis for the Past Twenty-FOu
Hours.


WASHINGTON, September "a, 7P.M.-
The barometer has fallen slightly since
Saturday afternoon on the California
coast. No report has been received
from Lake Superior and Minnesota, but
it is probable that the barometer has
risen in that region, and the area Of
lowest pressure which has remained
southward of the lakes has moved
northeast The barometer has fallen
very generally in the Southern and
Gulf States. Hazy and smoky weather
has continued from Virginia to Mis-
souri, and northward, with clear
weather in the Southern and Gulf
States and threatening weather and
light rains. The pressure this alter
noon is on the immediate South Allan
tic coast, and is accompanied by a falling
temperature. The temperature has
risen in the Middle and Eastern States.
Brisk winds from the northwest have
probably passed over Lake Huron and
Western New York.
ProbabiHties.-Hazy and cloudy
weather is probable for Monday for the
Middle and Eastern States to Texas and
also west to the Mississippi Valley.
Cloudiness with light rains will proba-
bly continue from Florida to Virginia
and off the Middle Atlantic coast, but
no extended disturbance is apprehend-
ed, unless, possibly, at considerable dis
tance east of Georgia.

A difficulty occurred in a street car,
in the southern part Of the city, this
afternoon, between two negroes and sew
eral lrishmen, which bid fair at one
time to result in a small riot, but it
was quelled without a serious result, the
only injured party being an lrishman,
who received severe cut in the neck
with razor in the hands OF one Of the
negroes.

victions of duty and right. We pledge
you that we are no partisans; that we

and destiny Of the American Republic; !;
that we honor and revere the national

turn our backs upon all sectional par
ties and all parties grouping in the
moonlight OF the past, and to ally our
selves with any party that will be ami
mated with the spirit Of civil and re-
ligious toleration, broad and elevated
patriotism, not bounded by State lines,
and inspired with an abiding faith in
the genius OF free institutions.

something new under the sun. They

and object to the land monopoly; they
favor the passage OF an act to forbid
the sale OF land to persons already own
ers Of a sufficiency, and limit the
amount that persons not owners may
acquire by purchase or descent TO one

measure. They demand the revocation

that money should be coined out OF the
cheapest material; they demand that
the Government shall make it OF paper,
issue it directly to the people, and make
it a legal tender for all debts, public and
private, to the end that there shall be
but one kind of money for the rich and
poor alike; they favor the immediate
payment Of the national debt according
to the terms of the contract; strict
revenue tariff; oppose the so-caIled
protective theory, and denounce the acts
