THE PITTsBURG ENGINEERS STRIKE has

deal of inconvenience was suffered by the
public, good deal of money was lost to the
companies and some wages lost to the men

lasted It must be called foolish, because its

of success must have been at any time. AS

A Comfortable Fee.

Custom-house officials say that the re-
bate paid to importers of fruit under the
famous decision of the Treasury Depart
ment amounted to $500, GOO, half of which
was in gold. Ex-Judge Washington Gull
yer, who Iobbied the suits for the mer-
chants, received $250,0O0 for his services.
He had power of attorney from most OF
the fruit importers in this city, Boston,
Portland, Baltimore, New Orleans, and
other ports of entry, by which they prom
ised to give him fifty per cent. of their
claims If he won. His task was the recov-
cry of the duties which they had paid Oh
their invoices. The question involved
was the Interpretation Of a clause in the
tariff of 1871, relating to fruit plants, etc.
On investigation it was discovered that by
an error in punctuatiDg the clause it was
made to exempt fruits from duty, contra
ry to the intention of the Trainer. The.
error was committed by the engrossing
clerk, who inserted comma, which did
not appear in the original manuscript.
The comma was put after the word fruit.
The Secretary of the Treasury decided in
favor of the importers without taking the
question before the courts. Judge Culver
spent most of his time lin Washington for
several months while the decision was
pending. The customs officers say that
his expenses were large.-N. Y. Sun.

THE DECEASED
MOST ALI NIGHT.
The Shillalah vs.. "Peclcr's" Baton.

On Sunday night and Monday morn
ing several Irish laborers on the Cen
trail road found 1t convenient to pass n
few hours in free fight at the depot.
They started in about II o'clock and
wrote some singular sentences on
each Others faces, which was variegat-
ed by u want of order in the manner
in which few languidly laid round
the platform. Some few others were
seen to hold companion up by one
hand,swhile thep searched under his
nose with hand full of fingers, when
the companion would seek the earth,
only to be again resurrected and inves-
tigated under his nose over again.
These tender attentions to each other,
as well MS the restful hours INDUCED in
by the balance were continued for some
time, when night patrol tumbled into
the mazes of the affair, and by passing
his baton through course of calisthen-
les over the heads of the Emerald re-
joicers brought order out of chaos and
marched them to the Commerce street
chalet.

of which Is, that still have large

second fact, overlooked by your re-
porter which is this, that the lease on
the store, at present occupied by me,
runs out with the month of August, so
will have no room for furniture in
my future house, for the location of
which am now negotiating, and which
