A Mysterious Shooting Affair.

About o'clock this morning the vicinity
of Wabashaw and Fourth streets was startled
by four OF five pistol shots ringing out on
the night air. An investigation proved that
man driving along in buggy
had drawn a revolver and threatened
to fire at a couple of young men passing
along the street, and one of the young men
had fired in the air, as he
claimed, to alarm the police
One policeman appears to have been on the
spot at the time and to have given
chase to the man in the buggy,
who drove rapidly up Fourth street. At just
about this moment a buggy was driven into
Judds livery stable, on the corner of Fourth
and st. Peter streets, and the driver departed,
but whether it was the buggy occupied
by the belligerent individual no one
seemed to know, and the night man at the
stable could not give the mans name who
returned the buggy. Two more policemen
arrived in few moments after the shots
were fired and interviewed the young
men who claimed to have invoked police
assistance by the use of pistols. They were
vociferous in demands for the arrest of the
man in the buggy, but as he was not found
nothing was done, and there the matter rests
awaiting further developments, which the
police will be pretty likely to bring out to-
day if they follow up the "mystery."

A Private Letter to a st. Paul Lady Confirms
the Sickening Story.
We have been shown private letter writ
ten to lady in this city from Maine bear
ing date july Z, which confirms in all its
essential details the story pub
lished in the New York Times
of the 2sth of July-three weeks
later. We quote an extract from the letter,
promising that the "Joe'' who is mentioned
in the letter is Rev. Joseph Wey, of Philadel-
phia. The extract is as follows:
Joe brought home the most horrid story,
which am going to tell you, that you all may
be yet more careful of your girls. This lady is
the daughter of one of the most prominent
Boston physicians, the wife of very wealthy
man. Joe knows of her very well, being a
friend of friends of his, and the story has not
been made public. few weeks ago she went,
or started to 60, from Utica to Albany, and in
a drawing room car. After having been on her
way some time she heard two men talking of
her insane, and found, to her horror, that
they were meaning her to hear, and were plan
ming to take her off before she reached Albany,
where her husband was to meet her. She had
a great deal of valuable jewelry and money on
her person, which they must have known of.
She at once told the conductor, but it seems
they had been beforehand. and told him she
would tell this story, and that they were to
take her to another place, and were her father
and brother. The conductor, however, took
her through the car to see if she could find any
one who knew her, which they failed to do and
it ended by their taking her off, and when the
cars got to Albany her husband was there. He
| took engine at once for this place, and found
| her insensible, robbed, and whether worse off
no one will ever know. Can you imagine any
| thing 80 dreadful?

immensely of the Laws of 1878 and Their
Unnecessary Character.
The special laws of the last session of the
legislature have been issued and distributed.
The volume numbers 500 pages, including
the index. AS means of comparison it
may be stated that the general laws passed at
the same session only occupy 235 similarly
sized pages of the same size of type. In
other words, the special legislation of the
last session was more than double of
that of a general character and purpose.
The volume of special laws may be safely
viewed as monument of gross pernicious-
ness. Whenever man, or small corterie
OF men of ambitious or quarresome dispo-
sition cannot accomplish some pet scheme
by means OF the general laws already es-
tablished he OF they immediately
draw up special law to suit the crotchet
to be carried out, present it to the member
OF the district, and insist that he shall have
tne measure passed. This forms the source
whence spring the woodchucks of each wears
legislation, which are the immediate canse
OF more corruption-both direct and indi-
rect-than all else combined. Take school
ulstrlcts as an instance. For some trivial
reason. somebody feels agrieved, and desires
district to be divided. There is no me-
cessity for the partition, other than to ac-
commdate merely personal aims or con.
venlenses. The school commissioners
object to the division, knowine
such would be manifestly to the disadvan.'
tage OF their charge. But the nar,v
OF division carries its point with its little
special law, and thereby defeats the best edn.

and not for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of few
and the degradation of the many. We
must unite and select men for Congress and
our State Legislatures that will work for the
interest of the whole people, and that can
can only be done by closer union of the
workingmen of the district, and not only of
the district but of the State and the United
States. 1t is an utter impossibility for
few men to run this question of politics
alone. It must have combined action to
have the effect that it should have upon the
minds of the great masses of men that now
GLOW themselves, politically, to be led by
the nose by the Republican and Democratic
parties of to-day. Now, in order to do the
work more effectively, and to bring about
the desired end, and bring order out of cha
os, in my opinion is for the workingmen to
unite with the International Workingmen' 8
Union, and by united effort wipe out the
band of thieves that have held this govern
ment In their clutches for the last twelve
years, and place the reins of government
where they belong-in the hands of the true

community. This is only 1.-THE of the in
jury inflicted by this special legislation,
which wastes two-thirds of the time of the
legislatures and entails an unwarrantable ex-
pense upon the State. Nor is this all.
Many special laws are enacted for purposes
that can be just as readily accomplished I'M
der existing general statutes. For instance,
there are the changes of names. At
the last session, there were thirty
one names of parties changed by
special laws, all of which could have
accomplished in any court of record without
being brought before Legislative cognizance
in any shape. The sooner the legislature
and the people wake up to full sense of
this gigantic evil of special legislation, the
sooner will there be wiser councils prevailing
in the premises, and the State will be saved
from witnessing almost one half of session
expended in settling quarrel over the
change in county seat, as was the case with
Scott county in the last legislature.

Eleven years ago Christian Goldner, alias
John Goldner, was a growing youth of
Verona, Allegheny county, Pa. He married
widow who had daughter ID years of age
at the time of her second marriage, to whom
Christian. alias John, was particularly kind;
and it pleased the kind mother to know that
the tendrils of her husbands affections we're
twined SO lovingly about the heart of her
daughter. Thus they lived for five years, or
until the daughter budded into womanhood,
and then, when Mrs. Goldner awoke one
morning, she missed her husband and her
daughter. Recently she learned that there
was one John Goldner living near Johns
town, and on Wednesday the man was ar

Squire Cox of Johnstown, the man was
committed to Jail at Ebensburg for trial at

Il Worhingnaoaa's Tie,rs of the Republican
Party.
To the Editor of the Workman.
In my article in your last issue, stated
that the workingmen of this district did not
want such men as w. d. Washburn to rep
resent them in the next Congress. Now I
will give some of my reasons: One reason is
that having kept record of the action of
tho Republican party in Congress for the
last seventeen years, know of no instance
where any legislation has benefited the
whole people. Any bill that has been of
fered to that end has, invariably, been killed
by the Republicans in the House. Now, is it
to the interest of the workingmen of this
district to lend their aid and support to send
such men to Congress any longer. think
not. Suppose that Mr.. Washburn is elected
to Congress this fall, what will be the result?
It will be the same old story; he being in
the pine land ring and railroad president,
he will very naturally fall in with railroad
monopolies and monied oligarchies. do
not take any more stock in what such mon
say before election. No, workingmen, they
want to get your votes and will tell you a
good yarn before they are elected, and give
you the cold shoulder afterwards. What
the workingmen of this district want is to
try and get the right men in Congress
men that will legislate for the whole people,
