IN THE CITY


The labor troubles are not settled, and
trouble is certain to come The busy sea-
son IS half over, and employment has been
so scarce and wages so low that the work
ingmen have not a dollar ahead for the
coming winter, and they are organizing
for some purpose. The coal-dockers have
already struck, and are making trouble.
The wives of the strikers are more bitter
than their husbands, and are more deter
mined to hold out If a man shows any
symptoms of yielding, the women assault
him, and as they can't strike a woman,
they are at a sad disadvantage. The feel
ing Is extending among all classes of work
ingmen, and there is no doubt but there
will be wild work here within the month.
The railroad engineers are doing all in
their power to swell the flood, and the
communists are as busy as bees. Look
out for some ugly work very soon.

Has been running rampant during the
last month. Three men have killed their
wives-two because they did not like them
and one because he desired to marry a rich
woman, determined, apparently, to make
money in some way. Bar room fights are
as common as mosquitoes, and to difersify
the ghastly panorama, three wives have
killed their husbands. There have been
two cases of men killing women because
they would not marry them, and dozen
or two for no cause whatever. One man,
German, killed his wife, three children
and himself, because he had been out of
work two months, and had come to the
end of his resources, and was too proud to
see his children begging. One Frenchman
was nearly at the end of his string, ,fnan-
cially, in March, and determined to com
nit suicide. He took stock of what he
had, and calculated how long it would
support him. He paid his board to August
9th, that being all he had, and on the evenz
ing Of that day blew his brains out. He
was French to the last. He left note to
his landlord, saying that he did it to avoid
trouble. He preferred death to running
up board bill which he had no means Of
paying. The boarding house keepers Of
NE" ne York wish there were more like him.

win this epidemic of crime, but the hard
times more. a man with a family who

for.

THE LIQUOR-DEALERs

Are having trouble. The enforcement of
the excise law has been put in the hands Of
the captains of the police, and they are
going for the rum mills severely. Last
week over two hundred arrests were made,
and there was trouble. Such a thing had
never been done before. The shops were
entered and if the proprietor did not
have license he was summarily arrested,
no matter what time of the afternoon it
was. Very many were taken in when it
was too late to procure bail, and had to
languish in the tOmbs all night The
movement is being made at the instance
of the temperance alliance. the object be-
ing to so harass and worry the iquor-deal-
ers as to drive out all but the strongest,
and to make their continuance very ex-
pensive affair to them. The movement
thus far has been directed against the
bucket shops, to make the sale of liquor to
the poor unpleasant. The best men in the
city are behind it, and there has been a
feeling created which makes it formidable.
The work is going right along, with boards
of money and any amount of influence be-
hind it. The societies are all very active,
and the temperance people are in earnest.

AT LAST.

At last the agony is over in South
Carolina. We have by telegraph a
full account of the closing scenes.
Promptly at twelve o'clock yesterday
the United States troops were with
drawn from the State House at Column
bin, Then came a letter from Cover
ernor Chamberlain's subordinates, adj
vising him to give up the unequal con-
test. Chamberlain %thereupon issued a
proclamation to the Republicans of the
State, setting forth the history OF the
struggle and winding up with the an
noupcement that As it would DO mad
Q to longer contend for what he
terms his rights, he had reluctantly
determined to surrender all claim to
the Gubernatorial chair. The address
severely arraigns the President for
abandoning the Republican party of
South Carolina and strongly hints that
the action of the Administration was
the result Of a bargain and sale.
Learning of this proclamation Wade
Hampton Immediately addressed .
note to Chamberlain, asking him when
It would be convenient for him to III
the Executive Chamber over to his duly
elected successor. Chamberlain re-
piled that his Private Secretary would
attend to the matter to-day at II
o'clock. The whole business seems to
have been conducted in q very decor
Gus manner, unattended by anything
savoring of excitement. We judge
from the tenor of the correspondence
that all of the State officers holding I'M
der the retiring Governor will vacate
with him. I. And thus ends
the dual governments in the Pal
metto State. 1t now remains to be
seen whether Governor Hampton
will be able to accomplish for the peo-
pie Of the State what he has all along
contended would result from his sue
cess. 1t Is to be hoped at least that he
will keep steadily in view the prom
Uses made during the canvass last fall
and mets out equal and exact justice to
every citizen of the Commonwealth
without regard to creed, race or color.

that a t~hreatning notice was posted

an attempt at fun, to create a scare.
