The Committe OF Safety Adjourned.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.-Quiet having
been restored, and all fears of a general
outbreak dispelled, the Committee Of
Safety this evening decided TO adjourn
to the call of the chairman.
The organization will be maintained
and the various companies will hold
themselves in readineis to assemble at
their respective headquarters at the tap
of the bell or summons from the chair
man.
The formation of patrols for the pro-
lection of property in the various wards
is recommended; also, the cooperation
of the members of tho com mmittee with
the regular police force and watchmen
whenever required.
SThe muskets and ammunition issued 10
the committee are to be returned to the
authorities, but the members will retain
their clubs and badges.
The Executive committee of the Com
mittee of Safety and the Police Commis-
sioners held conference to-day and de-
cided TO at once double the regular po-
lice force. This will raise the force to
800 men, besides the special policemen
and substitutes.
The committee offer to guarantee the
payment of th e salaries of the new ofh-
GERS until the meeting of the next Legs
lature, when bill will be introduced
providing for the permanent mainten-
ance of the increased force.

UNDER PACKERS ORDERS.
THE STRIKE ON THE .LEHIGH VAL
LEY AND LEHIGH AND SUS-
QUEHANNA ROADS.

EAsToN, Pa, July 30.-On the Lehigh
Valley and Lehigh and Susquehana roads
the apparent situation is unchanged, but
the secret feeling of the men on the for
mer, at least, is decidedly in favor of
putting an immediate end to the strike,
All day the Lehigh Valley Company has
been paying off its men, and at least a
score of them whom l have interviewed
as they came from the Easton National
Bank. after cashing their checks, have
said to me, very energetically: "D-n
the strike, and them that put it up" The
officers of the road believe that they could
start their trains tomorrow if they chose,
but Packers orders to shut up and 60
fishing has not yet been rescinded, and
before they begin anew they propose to
have thorough reorganization, throwing
out all strikers. The Lehigh and Sus-
quehanna men are divided in their coun-
ellis, and do not know whether they want
to give up or not. A committee from
Penobscot, the coal heart of the road ,and
secret meeting of employees is being
held, at which their course will probably
be determined. They are very reticent,
and in the ill temper that seems TO pre-
sage breakdown. The great trouble in
this State is now believed to threaten at
Scranton, in the vicinity of which are
thousands of striking miners. Cries of
''bood or bread" flooded mines, and cut
off railway communication presage the
coming storm.

SUPERSTITION CONFIR MED,
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.


Yesterday Wilson McCandless Reed,
boy ii years old, concluded to take bath
in the Monongahela. He was drowned,
and expert divers set to work to bring up
the body, but they were unabed to find IL.
At last curious superstition was employed.
One of the boys shirts was thrown into the
river where he had gone down, and, it is
said, tloated on the surface for time, and
finally settled to the bottom at certain place
which proved to be the resting place OF the
body, and which Was then drawn out The
belief that the shirt of a drowned person
when thrown into the water will follow the
body is we'll spread, absurd as it appears.
Another strange incident is related IN con-
nection with the case. A lady had been
commissioned to break the news to the un-
fortunate mother, and when she arrived at
the house sne asked for him IN an Indifferent
way in order TO lead the mother to the
knowledge by degrees. The mother apN
peared 10 divine her errand at once, and re-
plied, "Ohl he's drowned. saw his body
in the bottom of tub" The family wash
ing had been done during the day.

slDE-sADDLEs DISCARDED.

There are few traps for the female sex
more deadly than the side-saddle, and
no one of any sense grieves at the decay
of the the 'noble art of horsemanship,"
as long as the art cannot be practiced ex-
cept at the imminent risk of the ladies
doing so. English people are devoted
horsemen, and the ladies, as well as the
men, take the highest pleasure in gallop-
ing after the hounds. But recently an
English lady; who enjoys what is consid-'
cred an enviable fame fof skill and dar-
ing in riding close to the hounds, and
who is also pattern wife and mother,
has announced that she will risk her life
in no more riding on a side saddle, but
in the next season will ride masculine
fashion. Her announcement has set the
whole fashionable world to talking, since
she is woman of spirit, and it is believ-
ed she will do as she says. If she does,
she will have followers without a doubt,
and it may be that this will inaugurate
the long-expected dress revolution.

into difficulty with some OF my constituents,
some Quakers, who are dissatisfied with
my advocacy of certain measure, aud
they have sent large delegation down
here from Massachusetts to make protest
! have promised to meet them this evening,
and would like to have you there"
"Why, what can l do W
"Your native blarney Shields-it may
help me out OF the trouble"
Il laughed at the idea of blarney Affect
ing anything where Daniel Webster's elo-
quence could not convince, and made that
objection, but ne insisted, and 1 promised
to be on hand. Evening came, and joined
Mr.. Webster at his rooms. Presently the
delegation arrived and were seated, dozen
or twenty of the most solemn men / have
ever seen, all rigidly costumed in Qaaker
dress. Without wasting any time the chair
man arose and addressed Mr.. Webster in C
set speech. He commented severely on the
course of the Senator as to the measure In
question, setting forth the bad effect which
it might have on their sect, expressing
great sorrow and surprise that Mr.. Webster
had been found supporting such bill, and
concluded with vigorous protest IN writing
which bore many signatures. Webster lis
tened attentively with unchanged Counte-
nance, aud when the spokesman had re-
sumed his seat he arose and replied. He
spoke hall an hour, and before he concluded
he grew as eloquent as he was often heard.
His defense was simply that he deemed the
measure one demanded by the interests of
| the whole country, although 1t might not
be specially adapted to the wants aud inter-
ests of any sect, and after clearly setting
this forth he made such an appeal to the
delegation to remember that they were
Americans, as well as .Quakers, that was
fairly electrified. The effect produced by
his words on the delegation was astonish-
ing. When he began they were all seated ;
after he had spoken ten minutes one after
another rose to his feet, until they were all
sanding then they commenced to move
toward him, and they had soon surrounded
him in body. Before he finished l saw
| the chairman take out his petition and teal
| it to pieces and when he had finished
some of them were shedding tears. and all
were grasping Webster's hands as fast as
thew could get them. "Friend w ebster, "cred
the spokesman, "thee is right and we are
wrong We owe thee an apology we will
say no more about 1t ; thee knows thy duty
better than we."
"The next day l met. Mr.. Webster, aud
with a countenance of perfect gravity ht
said "Well, Shields-now didn't We
blarney thoss fellows nicely ?"
