INTERVIEW OF THE
WoRKMEN WITH
THEIR EMPLOYERS.
Nothing Definite Arranged.
AN OTHER MEETING TO BE HELD
TONIGHT, AT TREJA HALL.

The committee appointed to visit the va
rious manufacturing companies did as di-
rected, but failed to accomplish anything
definite.
At Deere & Co.'s, S. FL. Viele, absolute
ly refused to concede anything. lie stated
that the 10 per cent reduction was neces-
sary and that there would be no receding
from it. He refused to agree not to DIS
turb prices-in fact would make no conces-
sion whatever. This man Viele is the
same who is reported to have said that
crackers and herring were good enough
for working men, that they had no right
to wear boiled shirts. Ii is just such
mercenary men as Viele who keep the la
boring mans nose down to the grindstone.
Words cannot be found sufficiently strong
to condemn a man of this kind. The
workingE.en have hearts as we'll as the
manufacturers, they eat, have families to
support, and are generally whole souled,
and ready to help their fellow humans, rich
or poor The heel of oppression has been
ground into them by this Vielie, until he
begins to think that he has only to beckon
and they will come-to command and they
must obey-or starve.
At the other shops the men were as
sured that no reduction was intended, but
no agreement could be reached as to
pedging themselves not to cut until June,
1878.
The Moline Plow Co., Barnard L. Leas
Mfg. Co., Dimock, Gould & Co., Keator &
Son, and al! others, seem willing to concede
part, Deere & Co., concede nothing says
Mr.. Viele.
There will be meeting tonight
to take definite action, and it is
hoped that the workingmen of Moline
will show themselves to be moder-
ate minded men. Let common sense
govern and actuate their course and the
sympathy of the entire community except
Mr.. yiele ia with them. But if violence,
or disorderly proceedings are INDUCED,
the strikers, if such they become, will find
themselves in hopeless minority. Law
and order will preyail-mob violence will
not. Workingmen should consider well
their choice.

A Raft to Go Over Niagara.

The following is from the Lockport
Times James Brown. Tonawanda is
engaged in building a novel raft for a
novel purpose. 1t is of pine logs, and
measures 100 feet in length and 10 in
width, The cribs are divided into ten
sections of 10 feet each, and are coupled
together with strong chains. On the
rear end Of the second raft house, oc-
cupying the full width of the timber, is
built, and in this it is intended to store
dogs and cats and several other kind, of
animals. At the extreme end of the
raft is a steering apparatus. and here a
man will be stationed to direct its
course. The above is description of
what is to be used for transportation
over the Niagara Falls, on the Canada
side, of animals in few days. The ami
mails are intended for an experiment
and should the fall have no fatal effect
on them, it is said a man has been found
who will attempt the perilous voyage"

Turkish Pleasantly.

The other day Pop Milo, relative of
Prince Nikita, felt irresistibly impelled
to go down and objurgate the Turks in
Niksich. He rode down from the
heights of Trebesch, armed only with
his sword; and, after INDUCING in flood
of imputations touching the character of
all the female relatives Of the Turkish
sons of pigs, invited the Niksich people
to send forth their most valiant campion
to single combat with him, at the same
time exposing his breast to show that he
wore no surreptitious armor.
But the Niksich men did not feel in
clined to come forth, and Pop Milo fell
a victim 10 Moslem barbarism by bullet
through his ,rt. He was 50 years OF
age, and considered the hand soonest
nan in Montenegro When he fell. the
Nix ~ichers sprang forth, cut his head off,
carefully washed his face, combed his
hair, and sent the trophy back into the
Montenegrln camp.

Testing the Telephones Power.

An interesting experiment with the
telephone was tried Saturday, at the
office of the Telephone Company, Of
New York, in the Tribune building. In
order to determine through what resis-
lance the telephone could be operated,
the wire was cut, and Mr.. Roosevelt
took one end in his right hand and the
other in his left. Communication was
then eSta Ii h; d through the tee hone
with Broadway and Thirteenth street,
the office of the Burglar Alarm Tele-
graph Company, and messages were
transmitted both ways with the usual
distinctness. The resistance offered by
Mr.. Roosevelt, previously ascertained at
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany's office, was 10000 ohms, the cleo
trlcal measure of resistance. This is
the resistance of five times the length
of the Atlantic cable The experiment
was SO successful that two and then three
men were introduced III the circuit, and
afterwards five, and every word from
Thirteenth street could be heard as
plainly as before any resistance was in
troduced. The resistance overcome by
the current of electricity, when FIVE
persons were III the circuit, was, Of
course, 100000 ohms, or the length of
the Atlantic cable. Before the expert
ment was tried, the hands of each per-
son were moistend with water, in order
to offer as little resistance as possible to
the passage of the current. No sensa-
tons were experienced by any one,
owing, undoubtedly, to the delicacy
of the current. This experiment was
tried without the use Of an electric bat
terry.
ln.the telephones used, soft iron
disk is placed about tnirty-second OF
an inch from a permanent magnet, in
serted In wooden handle somewhat
resembling a dice-box Around the
permanent magnet is coil of insulated
wire, to collect the electricity generated
by the proximity of soft iron to the
permanent magnet. The fine wire,
after the induction Of electricity, trans
mlts the current along the line. At the

Praying for Rain in India.

An interesting ceremony took place
some days ago in Indore, which WAS
shared in by everybody, from the Maha-
raiah down to the lowest peasant.
Early in the morning the whole COM
munity, led by his royal highness the
Maharaah, the Maharana, and the
royal family, set OFF for Bangunga, d
place some two miles from Indore,
where q gigantic picnic WAS held, and
where they passed the whole day. The
object of this curious Proceeding was
to invoke the gols by prayers and poo
iahs to send rain, which WAS sadly
wanted there as elsewhere. About Is,
900 persons w re present, and everyone
had been forbidden under serious penal
ties to cook anything under cove; it
must all be done IN tae open air. When
re poojahs were over the Maharajah

A Celtic ISu'l.

Where shall new joke be foundl
Certainly not in a region of steady hab-
its like Connecticut, where the school
boys are to-day chuckling over the same

with hesitation and suspicion that
little anecdote which Hartford CORES
pOndent contributes TO the New York
Tribune is here used At the annual
reunion Of the Second Connecticut
Artillery at New Hartford on Septem-
Der II, an animated discussion arose
among the veterans with regard to the
battle-hag which they followed from
Cold Harbor to Petersburg. The Quar-
termaster General had declined to lend
the tattered colors for exhibition at the
reunion, inasmuch as an act of the. leg
stature forbade its removal from the
arsenal. An Irish Sergeant argued for
law and arsenal in this wise: !" For me
own part, [ think the Shtate can take
the Dist care of 'em, for there's those
of Us yet unborn as i'll want to see 'em."

How "a Baxing-Class was Broken Up.
Virginia >ev.l hronicle

Last evening there was some extraor
binary fun at the gymnasium. A BOX.
ing class had been formed, consisting OF
ten pupils. Some wag connected with
the institution conceived the idea 0
getting up q riot in the cl lss. He went
about it in model and ingenious way.
Before the hour for the claSs-meetne
he bored hole througn the ceiling and
let down a rope, to the end of which he
fastened n canvas bag filled with sand.
Above he had confederate manipulate
ing the rope. When all was III readi-
ness, he remarked:
Now, boys. I'll put you through the
first exercise. All get around the bag
in q circle and begin to punch with
your fists. Each man must try and
drive the bag over to the man opposite,
and the first man that fails to keep the
bag away from him sets up the beer. "
This proposal was received with en-
thusiasm, and the class collected about
the bag. At the word they all began to
punch with Il will, getting more earnest
and excited every minute. Just about
this time the fellow overhead, vino was
Watching the progress OF the game

jerked up the bag about foot above
the heads of the now excited class
Fhe effect can easily be imagined.
Each man hit the opposite man On the
nose and then they began the battle
blindly. While the riot went on the
man above occupied his time in pulling
the bag up and letting it drop on the
heads of the combatants. The way the
blood spurted around the floor would
have delighted Wild Bill They rolled
over, got each oilers heads in chan

course of his address he was annoyed by
Il shockheaded man with a suspicious
nose who would occasionally bend down
and look under the seat as if in search
of somathirg As this in lividual sa5 at

as to divert the attention of the tired
audience Suddenly the speaker paused,
looked at him as he strai 5htened up

Several weeks ago, Henry c. Ershman,
a stout and healthy farmer, near ReaC-
ing, Pa, who, though abundantly we'll
off, constantly one suit Of clothes,
WAS greatly startled because he imagin-
ed that a very offensive odor either
came from his ears Or mouth or the
pores of the skin. He thought he was
sinking into galloping consum ption, and
was gradually sdecaying. lie WAS IN tble
to sleep, became haggard and emaciat-
ed, and even his friends b egan to mag
inc that his end was near at hand. He
dressed himself regularly, and was deter
mined to keep on his feet. He went IN
to the fields and in the woods, determine
ed to fight down the disease, but Wher-
ever he went the same dreadful stencil
and feeling came over him. Finally, an
old woodsman met him in the woods
one day. The woodsnan had long
talk with him and he stood quite close
to examine him Then the woodsman
asked the sick man for his coat The
woodsman carried it away twenty yards
and it was discovered that stencil follow
ed. The coat was examined, and dead
mouse was found in the linn g. That
was the cause Of the stencil. Satisfied
that this vas the cause of his trouble,
the farmer rallied and is now on the road
to health.
