laborers OF Ashtabula harbor, employed
by Rhodes 4 Co., consisting Of about IS
men, made up OF Swedes, Firms and Port
uguese, have been on strike for the past
week. The price paid them last season
was slightly in advance OF that paid at
other lake ports, and reduction to
standard prices brought on the strike.
Others were brought in to work in their
places, but they bought them of and kept
Them from doing any work. Yesterday
about dozen new men were set to work
loading vessel, under the protection Of
a Deputy Sheriff and four or FIVE assist
ants. After they had been working
about half an hour the strikers charged
the dock, paying no attention 70 the few

One or two OF the men were slightly in

SILVER CHAsoE-There was quite a

SILVER CHASaE-There was quite
curiosity among the people to see some
Of the silver coin paid out at the Ex.
change Bank last week in exchange for
postal currency. The question is, will
this coin circulate as currency or will
foolish people hoard it as they used to
DO even in specie times. The currency
for which it is being exchanged will not
be paid out again by the Government,
but will be cancelled and destroyed.
Thus, after while, the fractional change
OF the realm will be exclusively silver.
Now II the people hoard this coinage
what will we do for small change? Will
we be compelled to resort to street car
tickets, milk tickets, brass or copper
tokens. and the like. The Cincinnati
Gazette does not take kindly to the idea
of giving up the postal currency for sill
yer coin. II contends that an additional
silver bill is necessary, which shall pro-
vide that holders of subsidiary silver
coins may exchange them at the sub-trcas-
ures for fractional notes.
These have become necessity to
trade, for the transmission OF small sums
by mail. We have an idea that they are
greater convenience to the public than
the postal order system. At any rate,
they have become such necessity that
the people will not consent to bs deprived
Of them. The sending OF fractional sums
by mail TO traders, newspapers publish
ers, and multitude OF others, has be-
come 40 great that to have TO go back to
postage stamps would be an intolerable
Inconvenience. II our legislative hRGn-
ciers think that because the issue Of these
coins is lively now, there will be no de
mand for fractional notes in exchange for
them, then surely they can safely make
provision for such exchange. But in
iaet, they are subjecting the country to
an expense OF several millions q year TO
furnish them less convenient and more
deprecated currency for "change," and
one which when it becomes plenty can
not be converted into current money save
ata shave.'

1.-THE course OF true love never did run
smooth" is 4 time-worn adage which the
majority OF grown-up folks, as rulegive
their adherence to. Whether, however
this i. the cause Of sdead.lock" In the
affairs OF a newly.married couple in the
township Of Westminster we know not,
still the annexed statement Is neverthe-
less true. The male participation in the
affair is, We believe, a a'iarmerin good cir.
cumstances, while the bride is stated by
those who should know to be a
good-looking young woman Of %
summers. The courtship was car.
ried on as all such courtships are in
the rural districts-principally going to
and returning from church, meetings, etc.
1t was rather lengthy, and at times peo.
Pile thought the disparity in the ages
would be . barrier, in the long run, to
the union. All such surmises, however,
were doomed to disappointment, as a
week or two ago the loving couple were
"made one" the honeymoon trip was in
dulsed in, and on Sunday last the ortho-
dox Church going" took place in city
chapel. The most extraordinary fact,
however, remains to be told. While the
courshIp was proceeding it was usually
understood that the couple were near
relatives = cousins, people supposed.
The announcement ofthe marriage, how
ever, gave rise to 4 good deal Of further
speculation on the subject. But imagine
the CONSERVATION OF all parties concerned
when, last week, It was discovered that
the bridegroom's father had been twice
married; that he was one OF the first wifes
family; and that the bride was one Of the
second wifes they being thus consti-
tuted stepbrother aud sister. The broth.
er left home prior to his mothers death,
and never saw his sister till he had (un-
known to himself) interviewed her in
the role OF the lover. The young
lady's mother the "old man" is now
the discovery OF the above
facts has been almost distracted. OF
course the gossips are having nice time
in discussing the matter, but the newly
couple have not yet given any
definite reply TO the numerous inquiries
az to what they mean to do. Said the
bride to the female interrogator the
other day: ave like one another; we
have been married, and what can we do p
there may be little difficulty
in disposing OF such query, the only
apparent way out OF the difficulty is
speedy separation, as neither legally or
socially arc the parties married.

Three Days in n Sewer.

About noon Thursday man was dis
covered in the act OF robbing Jackson's
saloon, near the Singer Works, Al Eliza
beth. He Immediately decamped when
he found out that he was watched, and
ran down toward Trumbull street, hotly
pursued by policeman, who was close
behind him, when he jumped into the
opening OF the sewer at the corner OF the
street. The officer procured lantern
and followed him up the sewer, which is
four feet by six, but could discover no
trace OF him, and returned. His story
was hardly believed a, the time, but its
truth wSs satisfactorily proved Sunday.
That day man was found in an insensi-
ble condition on the shore OF the Sound,
who, when taken to the police station,
told the following tale. He said his name
was Michael Gelgiman, and did not deny
being the man who attempted to rob
JacEson's saloon and escaped by way Of
Tie sewer, from which he had emerged at
s o'clock that morning. He had seen the
policeman's lantern after going 800
yards, when, to escape capture, he crawl
ed up q branch sewer where there is only
Just room tocrawl, until he got to u man
hole, through which he attempted to
climb, The tide came in and nearly
drowned him while attempting to climb
up, and he utterly failed. On the third day
he mustered courage TO go backward-the
only way he could-to the point where
he entered, rlskIng the chance Of being
over powered by the fetid air and drown
ing in the filthy water, a task that he I'm
ally accomplished. He Is large man,
ave feet eleven inches in height, and is
hardly recognizable as the same man who
was seen on Thursday. His head is one
mass OF cuts and bruises, his dnger.nails
torn of and fingers worn almost to the
bone in his frantic efforts to escape
through the man.hole. He was sent to
the Poor House, put into warm bath,
and aiterward supplied with food, to
which he had been stranger more
than three days and nishts.-Ne0 York
