ln6U6hu OF TWO IoE u UElel' AHo i"" yoAS
organized q most successful strike.
They would have nothing to do with
cheap-labor briefs. When the Dep
uty Recorder concluded his charge
to the Grand Jury, barris-
ter handed in brief marked
one guinea, at the same time saying
that there was strike among the law
yers. who would not accept the briefs at
the fee allowed. The clerk said the
matter had been brought before the
Deputy Recorder, who had arranged to
pay the two guineas on this occasion.
So the strike ended In complete VIC
tory for the lawyers.
-- The movement In Philadelphia to
stop the ringing Of the bells ofSt. Marks
Church is earnest, judging by the publ
cation Of volume Of testimony. The
church is in fashionable neighborhood
that would be quiet except for these
bells. The annoyed residents testify
that the value Of the property has been
deprecated; that invalids have been
endangered; that many go out OF town
ON Saturday and remain until Monday
in order to escape the torture on Sun
day; that the ringing Is unskillful, and
therefore more annoying to persons OF
musical taste. Six physicians say that
the amount Of sickness Is unquestion-
ably greater within hearing Of the bells
than 1t would be IL they were silenced
An instance Of insanity, alleged to have
been caused by this nuisance, is cited.
Proof Is given Of the depreciation of
property. In the trial of the suit. now
In progress, model of the church and
| its neighborhood is used.
A short time ago the Russian jour-
nal Kdtokas announced that there was
son of the celebrated Caucasian chief
Schamyl living at Constantinople, who,
| in the event of u war between Turkey
and Russia, would so to the mountains
and stir up the ancient troubles, fight
ing against the Gear. After he was in
termed In European Russia, Schamyl
received many marks Of favor, and one
of his sons-like the two sons Of the
Emir of Bokhara-was placed among
the imperial troops of the household.
and is at present q Colonel In the army.
In answer to the KaWkas this gentle
man has written to the Gotos wholly
disavowing the story in the name OF his
brother, and, on the whole, composing
letter fit to make the bones OF the
fiery hero Sehamyl rattle irftheirgrave.
A German living on Sand Greek, six
miles above the mouth, started with his
two little boys, fourteen and twelve
years of age, for the Chikaskia, after a
lead of wood. Travelling in an unset
tied country he lost his way. They
started on Saturday and wandered I'M
til Monday morning. On Sunday night
their sufferings were terrible. The
father cutting grass with his pen-knife
covered the boys; he at intervals would
| run around to get little warmth in his
almost frozen body. The cruel night
finally came to an end. and the man
| recognized his locality and knew that
he was about five miles from his home.
After getting to the fire and thawing
out, they found that they were frozen to
the knees. They will probably lose
their legs. The only food they had was
their little dog, which they killed and
ate.
