THE COST OF STRIKES.

The cost of the service of the State mill
tia during the strikes of last summertime,
say one week-foot up nearly $275, 900. It
is rather an expensive way of obtaining in
crease of pay. Probably the cost of the
strikes in the State, counting destruction
and detention, loss of time and everything
else, will foot up $500, 100000. And it all
amounted to nothing except to give lot of
demagogues like Schwab and Swinton no.

GLOVE FIGHTS.
How One Recently Proved Fatal 10 n
Boston Sport.

Boston Special 10 the Chicago Times.l
For some time past glove fights have
been among the aesthetic sports patronized
by Boston bloods, and permitted by the
police authorities To-day one OF these az
fairs occurred which will be likely to put a
damper on the business for the present.
These exhibitions have taken place in some
of the sporting halls or billiard rooms. and

etc, being chosen, first knock down, first
blood etc, being claimed and allowed.
Some two or three weeks ago n fight of this
kind took place at the Polaris RoYal billiard
and Ed Crockett. OF Rockland Maine which
resulted in draw. The men were badly
punished-so badly that Baker has not yet
recovered. On this occasion Captain Ford,
of the Third police station, in whose district
the affair took place. is said to have been
present; also number of policemen. To-
day similar fight took place in Revere
hall, sporting headquarters, 100 tickets at
81 each being issued, and on this occa-
sion also, it is said, police officers OF rank
were present. Though noninally giove-fights,
the gloves used are mere pTetense. being

Paddy McDermot and Danny Davidson, both
members OF q sporting club known as the
Howard association, and both about q years
old. The fight grew out of dispute which
the men got into in the club room few
days ago and that resulted in public SPAR
ing match at Cambridge, With ordinary box

days assemblage was largely made up Of
heightened bloods ofsporting proclivities, and
was attended by all the outside appearance
Of a regular ring fight. Fourteen rounds
were fought with success, and when time
was called for the fifteenth both men were
so badly punished that they were some 10
minutes ia coming to time. and then they
had to be pushed up by their seconds.
After q few exchanges Davidson fell and
was helped TO chair, in which he died in a
few minutes. II is said that Davidson was
out of condition, having been suffering from
heart disease or pleursy. He weighed some

A Project for Carrying Rsiiroad Trains
Through a Tunnel Under Detroit
Detroit Free Press.l

detroit Free Press.l
Ex-City Supervisor Eugene Robinson has
invented a device for tunneling Detroit
river. 1t is called q portable Golfer dam,
and both Mr. Robinson and his business
partner, Jesse II. Farwell, have the utmost
struct a tunnel with It's aid as
easily as ~ dig sewer in any street
in the city of Detroit. They offer tn
whom it may concern TO build a tunnel 20

O take $500, 600 in tunnel company stock
Mr.. Robinson's invention Is built on purely
scientific principles. and it has been, thor
oughly tested on a small scale as TO ite
adaptability for the kind of work
proposed. The dam consists OF a
fioat made of boiler iron and tim
bers 10 by 50 feet in extent and D feet
deep, forming chamber which, filled with
water. enables the operators 10 sink the
machine. From the center of this float rise
two iron shafts of sufficient height to project
well above the surface Of the river. On the
bottom of the float is sharp steel shoe
which being pressed into the earth excludes
I the water from rushing in under the float.
Similar shoes are attached TO the bottoms
of the shafts. When anchored on the
bottom the water is pumped out of the
big chamber and workmer go down the
shafts at the bottom of which they can work
in perfect security. The dirt is hoisted up
! to the surface through the shafts and then
Disposed of in the usual manner. This in
yentionof Mr.. Robinson has been examined
by other practical engineers who have
pronounced hiit just the thing
needed for that class of work. The
inventors own experiments with s
| working model have fully confirmed his
faith in the device. A letter was received
in this city yesterday from General Sooy
Smith substantially renewing his first offer
TO build tunnel under guarantee that
IL will be taken off his hands when coni-
pleted. Mayor Lewiss attention was slso
able that he will call a meeting for some
day next week 70 consider the momentous
! question. - -

Sir Titus Salt, Just deceased in England,
was one of the largest manufacturers of
WOODEN goods in Great Britain. He was
best known as the founder o. the village of
Saltaire, occupied by his ~orkmen. A New
York paper says Of it: Saltaire is more
than village-it is town occupied by the
5000 working people OF the mills. The
streets are wide and the buildings eommO-
di0us Sanitary regulations are strictly en-
forced; schools, churches, li5raries, and
other useful institutions have been freely
supplied. But the TACT that in other respects
the relations OF employer and employ ed are
the same as exists in other manufacturing
regions, and that an alnishouse is prominent
among the free institutions there. show that
Sir Titus did not altogether svcceed in solv-
ing the problem of social science so as -
com plete the reconciliation of capital and
labor. Another proof OF this is seen in the
fact that within the past year his 5000
workmen have been on strike"

TIE EIGHTH OrIANUARY.

On Thursday of this week, the 18th inst.
the legislature OF Indiana assembles-the
chosen representatives of the people meet to
deliberate in regard 10 the interests Of the
commonwealth; but we venture the asser-
ton that the convention that is TO meet on
Monday next, the sth inst, in this city
is regarded by n great majority of
the people as the more important.
The legislature may incidentally refer to
national affairs. Some reference may be
made to the political situation. Declar ,ons
may be made favoring honest elections and
sn honest count, and speeches may be made
clarifying the ballot-box. But the business
OF the convention will be to give
expression 20 the popular voice
upon the all-absorbing topic of
radical frauds by which the Infamous pur-
pose is disclosed 10 reverse the will Of the
people as declared at the ballot-box in
November fast. Never before in the history
OF the country was such a problem sub
nitted to the people for solution.
The radical party, having debauched
every department of the government
and made reputation of indescribable in
faniy, seeks 10 retain power by robbing the
people Of their only means of redress, an hon
est ballot. Confronted with popular niaiori-

president, of more than a quarter of n mil

electoral votes, the managers, defy
ing constitution and law, deliberate ID.
the overthrow of libery's safeguards, I'D
declare that their party has triumphed.
The people of Indiana, in convention as
sembled on the sth instant. will discuss this
phase OF the situation. We are assured that
every word spoken will be properly weighed.
The gravity of the subjects demanding
delfberation warrants the conclusion
that the deep abhorrence of the
people for radical viliainies will find ex-
preston No quarter will be shown return
ing board conspirators, and those who con-
template forcing upon the country presi-
dent by the agency of fraud and perjury
will learn that the people OF Indiana are in
earnest in their opposition.
The indications now are that the attend
ance will be immense. Every county in the
state will be represented. The people were
never more thoroughly aroused, and their
liberties we're never in greater peril.
The whole country is looking 70 Indiana
and waiting for her TO speak. II is well.
The country will hear words of truth and
soberneSs. The people OF other states will
realize that Indiana Is not unmindful of her
duty. Her words may be few, but they will
command attention. They will excite a
boiler reverence for constitutions, law
and liberty. They will awaken a
deeper detestation OF conspirators who
in the interest of the radical party propose
10 triumph by the means Of agencies that
freemen and brave men can not tolerate.
Grants bayonets will not dismay nor dis
hearten the men who will meet in this
city on the sth of January to protest
against returning board frauds and military
interference in elections and we are salts
fed that the convention will have most
saIutary influence throughout the country
