WE had the pleasure Saturday of call
from DIR. G. W. Brown, of Pulaski county,
Arkansas, who, we are pleased to state, con-
templates moving TO Texas soon. DIR. Brown
has been looking over Texas for the last few
weeks, and is charmed with the country. He
says that there are thousands in his section
that would move to this State if they had the
slightest idea Of her rich resources and fqtter-
ing future. Something ought to be done by
our people to post the people abroad in regard
to the attractions of the State

STRIKING BRICKLAYERS.
Is There Strike MOTIF Difficult
Question-Important Meeting To-Mor-

There is brickayers' strike. That fact Is safe
to announce But when the reporter attempts to
measure its proportions and Importance he en-
counters difficulties and perplexity. Either some
with whom he converses are mislnformed or they
must see through BIASED eyes. To state that they
prevarcate might be considered harsh. They
certainly tell stories which more than task
ordinary capacity to reconcile. For instance,
the representatives OF the Bricklayers' Union
assure the HERALD man that their organization OF
$500 men in the city are firm in their demands,
unanimous in their cOunsels rich In funds and
confident OF entire success; tnat in iact they may
be considered as having won their victory already,
as only few OF the bosses, whose names
could be tailed on your fingers, still
hold out against the payment Of the
rate demanded, 81 per day OF eight hours On
the other hand, conversation with several
employers would have induced the benef that the
boosted strike of the brlcklayers was already q
total failure, and that the lew men still "out''
were begging to be taken back at the old rates Of
So so per day; that the outside army OF the un-
employed who rhrong the city affords ample op-
men competent to handle the trowel and hungry
for Work at any price,. Between these two
divergent II not contradictory statements, the
reporter has q hard task to form correct judg-
ment.
1t is said the main employers unsubdued are Mr..
OBrien, who is putting up the Tribune building;
MIR. Marc Eidlitz, who mas some heavy jobs Mr..
Weeks. another large contractor: Mr. Felter, the
master mason OF the Delaware and Hudson Canal
Companys building In New Church street. with
Mr.. Conover and Mr.. Dorragh, who are carrying
some large jobs up town. Some others, such as
the Dry Dock Bank builder, are SAID to have &C
coded to the demands Tor increased pay. Mr..
O'Brien took on some OF his old hands yesterday
noon at the old rates, as 1t s said at their urgent
solicitation. Mr.. Van Dolsen had also taken back
some repentant strikers.
1t is announced that general meeting OF the
brickiayers Will be held tomorrow evening" to
take the situation under consideration and ia
map out the future action OF the union. They are
said to have secured an offer OF liberal aid from
Typographical Union No. 8, which they are able
to decline with thanks having the means
at their own command to maintain the strike
through the summer without drawing upon
their friendly sympathiZers OF other trades.
Important action Will doubtless be had at the
meeting OF tomorrow night, which will put the
union, through reports from The various Jobs OF
BUILDING work going on in the city, in possession
OF the precise facts relative to wages and employ
ment and furnish basis for safe calculations as
TO the prospects OF their ability to enforce the
demand Tor increased pay.

The Long Range Contest for the Anna
teur Rifle Clubs Badge.

The second and third matches for the long range
badge of the Amateur Rifle Club came Off yesterday
afternoon at the National Rine Associations
grounds, Creedmoor The weather was all that
could be wished for, neither too warm nor too
sunny and there was hardly a breath OF wind
blowing to interfere in the slightest degree with
the flight OF the swift winged bullet.
The match was open only TO members OF the ANA
teur Rife Club, with any rifle not over ten pounds
in weight, the trigger not less than three pounds
pull; telescope sights excluded; distance, 800,
300 and 1000 yards all the club to shoot at 800 and
900 yards, and the eight highest scores at 900 to
shoot at 600 yards; sixty points being the highest
possible score; position any without artificial
rest five rounds at each distance, with the prvi
lege OF two sighting shots at each range. The
target was 6x12 leet and the BULBS eye three feet
square. The match was set down for eleven
O'Clock In the morning but the absence OF num-
Der OF the members belonging to the club, caused
1t TO be put off until three in the afternoon.
The following is the score made by the gentle
men who shot at 500 and 800 yards, but Jailed to
get into the charmed ring OF the eight best shots
who went back to the 1000 yards range:-

RowMAN,s SIDE.
A NOTED CRIMINAL AT LARGE.


The public, and more especially the financial
community OF the metropolis, will be surprised TO
learn that the archlorger, Louis M. Van Eeten, Is
longer serving the State a convict, he having,
through the fundamentally oil a pardon from
Governor DIX, shaken the dust OF Sing Sing Prison
from his feet emerging from that institution
free man last Thursday. The extensive forgeries
perpetrated by Van Eeten some three years
ago In Wall street, their subsequent dis.
covery and his trial and conviction
must still be fresh in the memories of
New YORK business men, numbers OF whom SUI
fered severely both In a mental as well as pecu-
mary sense. BY his neiarous operations. 1t Will
also be readily remembered that he was sentenced
In March, 1871 by Recorder Hackett, to years.
imprisonment on two indictments, 1--WE years
the first aud four on the second, the last named
term TO commence at the expiration OF the former.
Among the knowing ones" In the neighbor-
hood OF Sing sing 1t ~ rumored that
possibly the pardoned convict Is wanted TO appear
before the Grand Jury, either IN New York or In
westminster county; but aside from TINS specula-
ton IL Is safe to assert that there Is an African In
the fence somewhere. IL Is also limited that state
Prls6l Inspector Platt might be able to throw
some hight on the subject OF Van Eeten's pardon,
as 1t Is known that he was In close, consultation
with the convict on each OF the two days mme-
diately preceding the latters discharge from the
prison.
