regarding the colony meeting held in
Criswelps Hall on last Monday evening,
being in attendance Al said meeting as a
spectator merely.
Mr.. Rider offered an amendment 10 the
constitution which was voted down, and
which he very quietly submitted to. Mr..
McLain, presiding officer, offered an
amendment which was laid on the table,
which ought 10 have been the end of but
1t was NOT; as when any other item oI
business came up and was under discus.
sion, presiding officer McLain must
needs discuss the merits OF his
amendment that was lying on the
table as disposed Of business, in
disregard Of oil rules, parliamentary or
decency. 1t is not decency 10 name
gentlemen and accuse them OF fraud and
bulldozing in debate, dndit is not parli a.
mentary for the presiding officer Of a
meeting to discuss questions before the

much less discussing questions not before

men, and spoke aud voted intelligently

CATION.

KEoKuK, Octsber ga conference wa,
held here to-day by leading members Of

Major SticEney, the engineer in charge Of
the keokuk Canal, to make arrangements
il possible to avoid the closing Of the ca.

tire sill Of the lower lock. Commodore
Davidson, President OF the Keokuk
Northern Line Packet Company, wished
to run his boats from above 10 the lower
lock and transfer from there over The
banks oi the canal TO steamers in the riy.
er. Major Stickney demonstrated the Im.
praclbility OF this course. The nayiga-
ton Of the Upper River may be consid.
cred closed for the season.
KEoKUK, October 3.-Thi, evening
Major SIickney, in charge Of the Govern.
ment canal, decided 10 build a Golfer dam
above The upper gate Of the lower lock OF
the canal, to protect the gates and allow
steamboats, 10 transfer from the outer
bank ot the canal TO boats in the river.
Hence navigation will not be closed in
the upper river as expected. A force OF

Trouble Among the Pittsburgh
COOperS.


The oil business, IA is pretty generally
known, always becomes brisker as fall
approaches and the evenings become
longer. The foreign demand has begun,
and the various refineries for the past
couple Of weeks in this vicinity and in
the oil regions have stirred up, making u
sudden and large demand for barrels.

markets, OF course the coopers here have
had all they can do 10 fiji the orders Of
the brokers.
Barrels, since the settlement Of the
coopers' strike, few weeks ago, have
been calling at the advanced price Of
81 50, but on Saturday prominent bar.
rel merchant often buying an unusually
large number went back 10 purchase
$500 more barrels, but did no. take
them as 81 40 was demanded Of him. Ga
Sunday the coopers held n meeting and

81 40, in equity they should receive
twenty-five cents, they decided 10
notify them that unless this amount
was paid them they would 20 out

The coopers now receive 20 cents, which
is considered good price. The propri.

way, and decided that 81 IS was all they
could get for barrels ard agreed to make
that the price Of them, aud therefore pay
only twenty cents to the coopers. This
action will be communicated to the coop.
ers this evening. It is not apprehended
that there will be any strike as the
coopers action ofSuuday was based on
the supposition that manufacturers
would receive 81 40 barrel.
Coopers at 20 cents can average 81 a
day wages with steady work, which is
considered fair; and manufacturers can
make 10 10 Is centS, which ia also fair.
Thethreatened strike IL, therefore, hap.
PLY averted, and all goes on as evenly
and smoothly as usual.

DEATH OF ARCHBISHOP BAYLEY.-The
telegraph at last announces the death Of
this distinguished Catholic prelato-the
primate Of the Church in this country.
Iuaamuch as.the event has been expected
for days past no surprise will be felt over
the news. In Mondays issue Of tho In.
TELtroEScER we gave the principal incl
dents Of the Archbishop's career, and
there Is nothing new to add in the way Of
biography.
The maIady with which he died is said
to have been a combination Ofkidney and
liver diseases. lie has been sufferer
also from asthma for some years. A few
months after he came to Baltimore in
1872 he took a severe cold, from which
he never entirely recovered, aud Wa
compelled to take short seasons OF rest,
but continued to fill his appointments
and discharge his duties until about
eighteen months ago, when ho was COM
PEELED 10 desistfrom the severe labOrs Of
his charge. lie made frequent visits
from home, in the hope that he would re.
cuperate, and spent several months in the
South and At his old home at Newark, N.
j. Early last spring his malady assumed
such Il serious iU:m that he deter.
mined 10 visit Europe, and 10 April
he sailed from New York and went
10 Vichy, in France, where he was attend.
ed by eminent phyHciAns, but continued
TO grow worse. II was finally intimated
to him by his physicians that Il he wished
TO die in his own country he had better
return home. lie returned to America
on the 20th Of August, and repaired at
once TO Newark, where he has since re.
nAined. Upon the Archbishoph return
there were rumors that he was in dying
condition, but these we're denied, and
some Of his friends hoped that he would
recover sufficiently to return 10 Baltimore
in a month or two. The fact war, how.
ever, that The Archbishop had been con.
Stantly getting worse, and was rapidly
approaching his end.
While he was abroad, a. il well known,
the Pope, at his request, appointed Bish-
op Gibbons. Of Richmond, Va, his coad.
iutor 10 assist him in the disChRrge Of His
duties, Shortly after his return Bishop
Gibbons administered the sacrament Of
Extreme Unction 10 the Archbishop, in,
dicating that he had himself given up all
hope Of recovery.
Bishop Gibbons will now become the
acting Archbl,hop Of this diocese, and
will, We presume, in due eoursc Of time b,
