UP IN THE AIR.
Steamboat Captain Turns a sOmer
BaulE from a Stage-PIank to the
HarrIcane ROOf-SeVere In.
1uries Sustained.

About half. oast seven O'Clock yester.
day morning, Captain ]. q. Andrews, of the
steamer Osceola Belle, met with a novel ana
serious accident at Craighead Point, eight
miles below Osceola, Arkansas. While the
stage PLANK was being lowered Captain Aa-
drews mounted the lower end, and before he
could get of the bank caved in. As the mass
OF earth gave way it struck the stage with
great force, and caused the lower end, on
which Captain Andrews was standing, 10
bound up to a considerable distance. The
bounding of the plank, which is suspended on
balance from halyard, hurled Captain
Andrews high into the air As he was whirled
up his head narrowly escaped the coamings
and he was landed unceremoniously ON the
deck below. Captain Andrews struck on his
head ana right shoulder, and was knocked
sepseless. He was stunned and remained
unconscious until the Belle reached Osceola,
where medical aid was procured. at tnat
point DR.. F. L. James came aboard and took
charge of the sufferer, accompanying him TO
this city. captain Andrews was restored to
consciousness in the course of an hour, and a
partial examination elbows that the wounds
and conlusiOns are severe, though rot neces-
sarily fata. The steamer arrived here about
two o'clock yesterday afternoon, and Captain
Andrews was removed to M. ]. + PIllsbury IS

WASHINGTON, September % The
dispatch to a Baltimore parer of the twenty
first instant headed, ''DOes Bristow, as well as
Schurz, humbly sat his leek?" and one of sim
liar import to a Boston paper TO the effect that
Specisl agent W. 3. Moore had prepared a
statement rejecting severely upon Ex-Secre-
tary Bristow, and that 1t had been withheld
from publication by request of President
Grant, is pronounced by competent authority
TO be entirely without iouc6ation. The Pres
ident had nothing whatever to do with 1t
The truth is that Major Moore had pre- pared
matter for publication referring TO Ex-Secre-
tary Bristow or his so-called conspiracy, but
in the prosecution of duties assigned to him
Major Moore has made reports of an official
char &C or in reference to Mr.. Bristow's perver-
sion of his official authority to force the
officers of his department, in violation OF
clvil-service rules, to sustain him in bis efforts
TO get the Cincinnati administration to use
them through BIuford Wilson In building NJ
a false and unjust pnblic sentiment against
President Grant. Copies of this, togst sther with
two other reports, showing grDsS violation OF
civil service reform, which leave no doubt as
to MIR. Bristow's true regard for public econ
omy, have been fled in the treasury depart

Cotton Erade at Fall River.
New York Herald.l

FALL RIVER, MAss., September 25.-
Every body in this vicinity is anxiously IooE-
ting forward 10 the first of October, and 1t is
frrvently hoped that strike will be pre-
vented. The mill operatives are determined
TO strike unless the null owners keep their
word and give them back the reduction
which went into effect August 9TH.
Since the latter date the price of
print goods has advanced from three
aud q quarter to 1our and half
cents per va d, with the market very brisk for
That kind of goods. None have found out
this fact more readily than the operatives,
who, to say the least, since the memorable
strike OF last fall have conducted themselves
in a manner to win the approval of their en-
plOyers and the public in general. Accord
ingly, in the ea:ly part OF the present month
a mass meeting OF the operatives was held at
the operahouse to consider a memorial to be
adopted for presentation to the mill agents
asking the return of he ten per cs Mt. Ieduc-
ton TO " hich they were subjected, as above
stated. About fifteen hundred were present,
and before the adoption Of the memorial Mr..
Eeavey, editor of the Labor Journal, gave
them some good advice and cautioned discre-
ton. He told them that the New York Her.
aid and the New York Sun were the only pa
pers that mad ever given their (the operatives)
side OF the sll-lmpOrtant question. 1he meet
ing was very orderly. 1t was voted that the
memorial be sent to the mill agent. and that
a committee of two wait upon Them for their
reply, and report at mass meeting to be
held Wednesday, September 9th.
