From an Occasional Correspondent OF the Appeal
ORKNEY SPRINGS, SHENANDOAH Co.,
VA, August l9.-lt occurs to me that last
summer you asked me to drop you letter
from the White Sui phur, which | did, and
doubtless a few lines at this time from this
delightful resort will be acceptable, partlcu-
larry as an old Memphlan, Mr.. NJ. NJ heogh.
Is superintend here, and deeply sympa-
thIzes with you in your present distress, as,
in fact do all who are here with him 1t was
only Yesterday that heard Colonel A. w.
Jones, the generous proprietor, who was a
gallant Confederate soldier, say that early
next week he intended to get up charades
and a concert in the ballroom Tor the benefit
of the sufferers of your city-this, too, just
alter he has volunteered a ball and banquet
to the Lee monument association. In fact,
Colonel S. BIssett French, the secretary,
is at present here, making all the
preIimiDarics for grand fancy
dress Lee monument bali on the
tweLty-nlnth instant, while the railroads
have greatly reduced their fares IN order to
allow all who desire to contribute 10 the cree
ton Of IL monument to General Robert h.
Lee to do so, and at the same time enjoy
themselves at reasonable rates. Orkney Is a
most beautifully located summer resort, on
the eastern slope of the North mOurtalD, and
surrounded with the most picturesque
scenery, while the atmosphere is cool, pure
and exhilaratiug. The temperature has not
been over eighty-two degrees this summer.
II is ahead of all other resorts in its great
variety of waters. For ex tmp!e, ttey have
here very strong chaly beate, white and blue
slSphr, a healing spring, alum and bear
wallow, the latter the greatest anti mslarial
water on the continent, and is the very place
for persons affected with malaria. To say
that everything is first class is only to remind

HEWITT'S. COMMITTEE
Trying to UnraveI the Labor Question
Prof summers Learned Opin-
iOns upon the Subject.

NEW YORK, August 22-The Hewitt con
gressional committee Cd the labor question
continued its session this morning. Prot.
Sumner was the first witness this morning.
He said he was professor Of political and
social science in Yale college. He directed
attention to the fact that within the last few
years the means of transportation and COM
munlcation had become greater, and by these
means over production was the CONSEQUENCE,
and had made revolution over the whole
world. f. said that when the Suez canal
was first opeoed, goods came much quicker,
and caused gut in the English market, new
goods accommodating on top of the old; but
this glut had now been overcome. " ithin
the last quarter of century there had been
great Improvement in machinery of all kinds,
and the accumulated effect of these improve
ments was an REORGANIZATION of fabrics
and the production OF temporary set back,
and was another factor in causing the depres-
sion in labor circles. This effect would react
on everybody, for the effect such machinery
would have would be to cheaper luxuries and
bring down things to the poorer classes that
century ago they had never thought of.
Machinery had been of great good to the
masses, though in cases of individuals and
classes, it had worked them evil. II the
United States had had free trade in 1872, she
might have been able to compete with Eng
land, when the coal and iron trade was so
Furnishing. Labor In the United States at
the present time is not having as good a time,
as good subsistence, as labor in England
In this country there were twelve people to a
mile, and in Belgium there were four hun
dred people to the mile, and the latter lived
fairly. He did not think that a revolution
would cause change in this respect.

AN ANGELS VISIT.
The Pullman Palace Car Company
Obbed a Second Time by n Too
Much Beloved EmpIOye-

CHICAGO, August 22.-It having been
stated in specials published in Boston and
other eastern papers that later developments
increased the loss to the Pullman Palace car
company through Charles W. Angel, the
missing secretary, inquiry has been made of
Mr.. George NJ. Pullman, which proves such
statements to be incorrect. He has made to
Hon. Fred Billings, stakeholder, of Wood
stock, Vermont, the following satisfactory
statement: mo indications of any loss in
excess of my statement to the press, and
that amount Is now reduced over six thousand
dollars by the return of money which he had
given to his father-in-law and brother. All
books and accounts, including my own per-
sonal matters in his charge, appear perfectly
correct. 1t is a case of robbery, and not de-
facation. The most of the amount, say
ninety thou and dollars, was taken after my
departure for Europe, and he has probably
at least that amount with him now. The
balance, say thirty of our own bonds, appear
to have been taken from the vault here since
April. If our efforts to apprehend him
prove successful, have faith that we will
recover large portion of the amount taken
