A strike.

Smyrna had on Monday perhaps its first and as it
resulted futile strike. 1t was in the hands of lads
and like the most of this genus homo, premature.
Messrs. ]. B. Evans Co.. who doing the mechani-
cal work for Tschudy Cats were last week adjust
ing their machinery and preparing the preiminares
for rattling out the baskets this week The boys
were early on hand to the number Of thirty or forty
with the necessary accOutrements and had prepared
their rims ready for the slaves. When the powerful
veneering machine had pealed these off the large
solid blocks and cut them the right size and length
for healthy peach basket, and they were thrown
the boys work table. the latter demanded more
wages or no baskets The makers announced to those
seeking employment p of 8 cent basket: the boys
want cent per basket, which they claim is the
general price This not being acceded to, they
marched out of the establishment and down the
street with hammers in pocket making Just enough
noise to attract attention. The propretOrs had
considerable more of them in the establishment than
needed and with those who did not participate
and others who returned after an hour or twos
parade through the streets, not in the least in
commoded. The boys went off "half cooked" and
hence their movement was not success 1t ought
not to be difficult thing TO adjust the proper line
between labor and capital and we hope there will be
| no more occasion for such demonstrations.

AN INTERESTING POINT.

Judge Billings yesterday passed upon
very interesting question which came up and
was argued several days ago In the case OF
the city VI New Orleans vs. John Klein u 20,
ct ais.
In the case the city had moved for an IN
junction to restrain the defendants from seiz-
Ing on q tieri facias Issued on Judgment On
100000 Of Waterworks bonds. On the trial
of the motion counsel for the city produced
an act VI the State Legislature exempting
these bonds from seizure, and specifically
providing for the use to which they should be
put by the city. Counsel for the defendants
maintained that the act was unconstitutional
as 1t impaired the contract on which their
Judgment was obtained. The Waterworks at
the time the contract was made was subject
to seizure, and the Legislature could not take
from the defendants their rights to 1t or what
represented H. The court ruled the point well
taken, but refrained from making an order
until such time AZ counsel on both sides could
bring the matter before the court In such
shape that Judgment could be taken to a
higher tribunal for review.

The Cora Roig Concert.
It never pours but 1t rains, says tho OLD
adage. Last evening" about o'clock, the
rain poured down in torrents, keeping many
away from Grunewald Hall. A few hours
previous Mrs. Ellie Samuel, having fallen SER
iously Ill, had to notify the beneficiary OF her
inability to appear, and Miss Roig herself had
been laboring all day under severe attack
Of the influenza. Notwithstanding all these
the concert should be postponed, the young
debutante resolutely determined not to have
recourse to an ever Objectionable method OF
remedying evil in such cases.
Miss Roig, although she pleased everybody
present and satisfied cOnnoisseurS that the
quality of her voice was excellent and most
promising, was nevertheless not herself. In
| the middle and lower registers her voice was
ruf1led by the severity OF her cold, but in the
higher her efforts were invariably successful,
and she sang throughout with style and ami
nation, evincing that she has already &C
ouired good method. So i'll was the little
debutante that she had to take to her bed inn
mediately upon reaching her home. Messrs.
Rossi and Livain charmed the audience, the
one with his delightful voice and the other
| with his enchanted flute.
The concert, we are glad to say, was grand
pecuniary success, for up to the opening OF
the concert nearly 5000 worth Of tickets had
been paid for.
