tives have families and a great deal Of
destitution and suffering are entailed by
the action Of the bosses. The rebellion Of
the bosses embraces all the mills in the
Ohio Valley, as well as mills in Missouri,
Tennessee and Illinois. As Newport lies
just across the Ohio River from this city
communication ia easy with the Cincin-
natl mills, and the rebels show q solid.
front. All the manufacturers ask is for
the laborers to cooperate with them to
produce iron at a cost VIII ich shall enable
them to put it in tho market so as to com.
pete with Pittsburgh prices. The bosses
will not accede, and a general stoppage
Of the work is the result. The manltac.
turers decided upon their action from the
TACT that while iron has fallen in price
there never has been any decrease in the
wages paid for its production here. Each
Of the bosses nets 81 per day, alter pay

would reduce this net pay about thirty
per cent, still leaving handsome margin

to run It with men who will come in on

as their liieis worth TO doit. Those who
accept are denounced as "black sheen "

not question of pride or obstinacy with

to produce manufactured iron at rate

q very serious question to The iron manu-

4 WONDERFUL INVENTION.

There Is on exhibition at the music store of
RObt. Coltman, No. el9 F street, an organ
made by Geo, Woods & Co., containing their
wonderful piano attachment. The Woods
organs alone are wonderful, but when supplied
with this stop their music Is exquisitely beau
tlful. This remarkable stop cannot get out Of
tune, adds greatly to the power of every in
strument 10 which It Is applied, and gives some
of the most lovely and novel effects to organ
music. Concerning the new 'ipiano" stop used
exclusively In their organs, the music trade Is
beginning to realize that something really
novel, peculiar and valuable has been brought
out. This stop is not q reed stop. It is quite
independent Of the bellows, and can be played
alone or in connection With any other stop, or
combination Of stops, IN the organ. When
used alone It has clear, brilliant tone, that is
unlike enything produced from any other In
strument, though It more nearly resembles the
piano-forte than anything else. Hence its
name, Npiano." When used with the reeds II
adds greatly to their effect, giving them Q
Piquaney and peculiar coloring that cannot be
obtained In any other way. Its lmpid tone
serves also TO smooth and bind together the
tonss Of the reeds, and gives them new ttmbre
or tone color that has never yet been obtained,
and giving vivacity to the reed organ that all
makers have long tried TO secure. The "piRnoH
combines equally well with every variety of
reed stop, and united to the full organ gives It
more power, and pronounced character that
is very animated and agreeable. Our citizens
are invited TO inspect them on Wednesdays and
Saturdays from IL a. m. to D. m, and Mon
days and Thursdays from 4 to 9 D. m, No
parlOr can now be considered complete without
one Of these beautiful instruments.

MOUNT ZION BAPTIST CHURCH.
MEETING OF MINISTER'S AND DELE

MEETING OF MINISTER'S AND DELE
GATES-TRIAL OF ROBERT s. LAWS.
The Rev. Robert 8. Laws, pastor Of Mount
Zion Baptist church at Arlington, has been
tried BY q council of ministers and delegates
from the various colorcd Baptist churches Of
Washington, Alexandria and Fairfax. The
principal charges against him were writing q
bill of separation for one Randall Bates, and
encouraging him to marry again; also, charging
him with having two wives. The Rev. Fields
Cock, of Alexandra, was chosen moderator,
and Brother c. h. Middleton secretary. The
Rev. Robert s. Laws appeared and made q
statement In defence of his action in the
premises, and Brother Nelson Wormley made
8 statement IN support Of the charges. After
hearing evidence pro and con, the Rev. VIM.
J. Walker, VIM. Gibbons, John b. Brooks,
- Marshall and Brother ]. W. Dallas were
appointed committee TO draw up a report for
action Of the council, and submitted the fol-
lowing:
"Your committee beg leave to report that
the Rev. Robert s. Laws, in their judgment,
has transcribed his ministerial functions as a
minister of the New Testament IN making q
bill Of separation for Randall Bates. We
recommend the action Of the aggrieTed men,
bers in cleansing their church from fornication
and adultury, and ask that the council hear
Brother R. s. Laws, # he has any PREPARATION
or confession to make"
When the report was read, one Of the dea-
cons remarked that he thought the deacons
had done the cleansing, when Brother Nelson
Wormley replied that he was glad to hear the
admission that cleansing was found necessary.
The report Of the committee was then adopted,
and r. s. Laws requested to make any repars-
ton or confession that his Judgment might
suggest. He then stated that the report Of the
committee and its adoption by the council was
satisfactory evidence that be had done wrong,
and that he was sorry he had done anything to
cause grief or displeasurc 10 his brethren, and
asked their forgiveness; and was sorry he had
incurred the displeaSUre Of any of the members
of the church, and would seek to use all pos
sfble means to conciliate all who had beer
aggreyed by him. His confession was re-
ceived as satisfactory, and on the grounds o.
Christianity he was forgiven, and told to &c
and sin no more.

A writer in . late number Of the GslG-y tells rs
some curious things IN regard TO the manner Of
living previous TO the Revolution. It would seem
from this account that the expense Of living at
that day was reduced 10 its minimum, and that It
was sort Of golden age in the annals Of house
keeping, In which thrifty housewife could almost
accomplish the impossible in maintaining her
family on nothing year. Butchers meat, for
instance, was only four cents per pound in the
large cities. Salmon Of from Il to II pounds
IN weight were usually sold q shilling.
HOLSTERS, poultry and Henlsol were 70 plenty thst
they went ct o mere song. FRANKLIN when poor
boy struggling for Q livelihood IN Philadelphia,
managed to live on the wonderfully small amount
Of 50 cents week. Fruit was g abundant every:
both in the North and South.

HORSE RACING.
RrLED OLE THE TRACK.


On Monday discussion arose in the city OF
Baltimore between several well-kGoWn citizens
and owners of fast horses as to the relative
merits OF their animals, and the result was .
bet between Mr.. Frank McWniams, who
matched his horse Prince William of Orange
against Mr.. "Bud" Kirby's Fenian Boy. The
trot took place on the Herring Run course,
mile heats, three in five, to harness, owner to
drive. Mr.. Frank Darden IVES chosen as Judge,
and although Prince William won three straight
heats It was ascertained that be had been
driven foul, "a whip longer than the rules al
lowed being used, and the race was given to
Fenian Boy.
This decision necessarily rules Mr.. McWrl-
liams off Of any track in the United States, but
his friends are now preparing an appeal setting
forth his innocence 10 the matter, and failing
in that will make pool, purchase the horse,
change its name to Patrick the Second, and en-
ter him for the fall races. The affair created
considerable excitement, and large sums Of
money changed hands. ..

It may not be generally known to our
readers that the zeal Of the ladies engaged IN
the temperance work is still undated, and
that prayer and work Is stu going on hand In
hand. During the heated term the amount Of
work done by these ladies has been remark
able, and IL is believed, although silently they
work, its results will be seen not many days
hence; The weekly temperance prayer-meeting
L held at the chapel Of the Young Mems

At g'5O o'clock, and the daily prayer-meeting
In the chapel is on Wednesday devoted espe-
cially to the subject of temperance. All are
invited TO enjoy these meetings.
