THE CIGAR MAKERS STRIKE.
ANOTHER MEETING IN CONGO SQUARE
AND REPORTS FROM VISITING
COMMITTEES.

Some OF the Manufacturers Agree to the
Terms and Others DO Not.
The cold snap OF yesterday did not seem to az
feet the ardor of the cigar making strikers yester.
day, when during the morning they congregated
by the hundred in Congo Square, awaiting the
arrival and report Of the subcommittee sent to
INTERVIEW THE MANUFACTURERS
upon the question OF an advance in rates.

81 50 per week, and consequently felt inde-
pendent.
The committee reported Mr.. Lopez as having
agreed, on Thursday, to pay the prices asked,
but on yesterday he had
CHANGED HIS MIND,
and as result his hands refused to work and
struck.
Mr.. Farrer, owner OF q factory at No. 81 Desire,
street, Third District, appeared before the conn
mittee in the square and stated that the prices
were just and fair, and he for one was with the

The manufacturers who in addition to those
named, have agreed to pay the prices, are=
Messrs. O. Taton, Marais, between st. Louis and
Toulouse streets, and F. Fatze, 1e Jefferson
street. The employees of 3. Belipg, Levee
street, on learning that he refused to hearken
unto their complaint, struck to q man, and
marching in twos to the square, joined the
strikers.

THE FALL RACES.

Glimmering Idea as to the Prospects
for Big Meeting.
If the interest manifested now in the coming
fall races over the Louisiana Jockey Club course
is fair criterion, the coming races over that
course may be safely set down as an event which
will be of more than usual interest.
The track is being put in excellent condition,
and already quite number of the high-fyers
are either
NOW IN TRAINING,
or will be on the track during the next ten days,
and among them some OF the feetest of the
fleet.
Among the stables already on the ground is
Keene Richards and Rice & EImore's, the latter
including four "good ones and the former
with as many. Before the end of next week two
or three more are expected, and by the first of
mex month the host will be here from their
Northern and Western trips.

THE UPPERLINE DRAINAGE CANAL
INJUNCTION.

What Ex.SurveyOr Bell Thinks About the
Status Of the City In the Matter.
The suit being prosecuted against the city by
the Jefferson and Lake Pontchartrain road has
aroused good deal of feeling on the part of the
stockholders of the company and not less dis
cussion on the part Of the public, and for this
reason we have thought it best to go at once to
the bottom facts of the case and submit them to
the public. With this purpose in view repre-
sentative of the DEMOCRAT called upon Capt. W.
81. Bell, an old city surveyor, who is entirely
familiar with the whole history of the claim
upon which this suit is based.
Capt. Bel explains that the city may have fairly

PORTSMOUTH, October 10. Much excitement
prevailed here all day among the liquor dealers,
owing to the issuing and placing in the hands OF

A large meeting was held in the Kearsarge
House, at which representatives were present
from every stoie in the city, to take some action
in the case. Addresses were made by prominent
merchants. their remarks being of the most bitter
character. Money to an unlimited amount was
pledged to protect the dealers. and after appoint
ing committee of infuentia citizens to look af-
ter their interests, an adjournment was taken to
Thursday afternoon at the same place, for further
conference. .n
These writs were issued through the efforts OF
the Portsmouth Reform Club. who employed q
prominent lawyer of Great Falls.
