Excitement Among Saloon Keep
erS-Accident-PerSOnal.

Our saloon keepers are terribly eXer-
Cised over the vigorous watch that Is
being kept on them by the temperance
folks. They threaten to defeat the coun-
IS seat project, even though the bill
passes granting vote. In doing this,
however, they only incur greater enmity
from the temperance people. Our peo-
Pile are not to be bulldOzed, and threats
are only incentives TO more watChlul-
ness and more vigorous prosecutions OF
our laws. They, the saloon keepers,
give as a reason for opposing the re-
mOval that il the county seat was
here they would be indicted at every sit.
ting OF the grand jury. This is an ad-
mission we hardly expected them to
make; at the same time it is no argu-
ment against the court house being To-
Gated here. Whv, bless their ignorant
souls, it only requires a little letter from
here TO have every saloon keeper in the
city brought before the grand jury at the
present county seat if any one would
write a few names. Our Prosecuting
Attorney needs TO heal little breach
down here in reference to this mat
ter, if he desires reelection, which he
does. There is a general belief that he
started this idea, telling the saloon men
that if the grand jury was in session
here they would indict every Cne OF
them by calling in men right off the
street to testify. We hope for Roberts
good name that he can explain this all
awav.
Charley Tharp fell from an apply tree
in Horns addition to this city, yester-
day, breaking his left arm and leg.
Two of our saloon keepers were fined
this morning. The other two have not

Darky ShOt-Suit for an Alleged
Breach of Promise.

PAREERsBURG, June 9.-Last Saturday
Richard woodward, a farmer living sew
eral miles from this city, was attracted
by noise in the road some distance
from his house. He went in the direC-
ton Of the sound, and found several
dogs killing his sheep, several OF which
they had down in the road. He went
back to the house and got his gun, and
when he returned to the spot he found
the dogs still at work, and two negro
men on the fence kissing them on. Mr..
woodward fired at the dogs and hit one
of the darkies, sprinkling him severely
with shot. The darkics ran away, and
woodward finished the dogs by shoot
ing them.

Peculiar and Painful Accident.

ATHENS, June "a singular and
painful accident occurred this afternoon
10 Mr.. Lewis Hall, an elderly farmer OF
Lodi Township, who, while walking to
town on the track ofthe VI. and e. Rail
road, being overcome with the heat, fell,
the side OF his face striking the sharp
stub OF an elder stalk, which transtixed
both cheeks. In his struggle to free
himself from his painful position the
stalk broke of, six inches Of it remain
ing driven entirely through the jaws
until he was brought TO DR.. A. b.
Framer's office, in this place, who with
disiculty removed it. The face OF the
injured man presented the appearance
Of having been pierced by a bullet.

The Pittsburgh Strike.

Baltimore sun.
The strike Of the iron workers at Pitts
burgh, which took place on Monday
last, was perhaps premature step, Oc-
curing, as the manufacturers say, at a
time when business was reviying, but
which rs yet needs nursing 10 restore 1t
10 its normal condition OF healthy ac-
tivitv. Yet the action Of the mauufac-
turers i'm finally yielding TO the demands
of their employees, while declaring them
10 be unjust, shows that they have not
been unmindiul Of the serious conSe-
quences OF a long lockout, not only to
themselves and the strikers, but to
thousands who were in no way re-
sponsible for the strike. The cause
OF the strike was the refusal OF the
iron manufacturers 10 sign the
sliding scale presented to them by the
puddlers, and which establishes their
wages at s. per ton for pudding, so
long rs bar iron maintains ITS present
price. The consequence Of this refusal
was that all the men, with but lew eK-
ccptions. quit work, and all the mills
but one. where only few puddlers are
eupIovcd. were closed. As the iron
and steel manufacturers are bound by
the terms of the association into which
they have organized themselves to act
together. and Is the wOrkingmen, as
members of the Amalgamated Iron and
Steel Union, are equally bound TO stand
bv each other. the deadlock must have
continued indefinitely without cOnces-
sions from one side or the other.
The hardship Of a strike in q great manu-
featuring industry is that a few skilled
workmen-as the puddler in iron mills,
the glassblowers in manufactures OF
glass, and the spinners or weavers IN
cotton manufaCtures-can throw thou
sands OF others out Of employment,
even when they have no personal or
material interest in the dispute. This
was the case in Pittsburgh, where be-
tween thirty-tive and torty-fve thou
sand men were thrown out OF work by
the strike of the puddlers in that city
and in Allegheny, although the latter
only number a few hundred. Fears
were expressed that, from the extent OF
the strike and the animOslties II might
engender, the terrible scenes OF last
summer might be repeated. But the
men, 10 their credit belt said, conducted
themselves quietly and well.

The legislative. executive and Judicial
appropriation bill was received from the
House and referred to the Committee
on Appropriations.
The concurrent resolution providing
for adjournment June 18th was also re-
ceived and referred to the Committee
on Appropriations.
Mr.. Coke moved to take up and con-
slider the resolution discharging the FL
nance Committee from the further con-
sideration of House Bill No. 564, the
Warner Silver Bill, and declaring 1t be-
fore the Senate for action. The vote on
taking up the resolution was, yeas, Il;
nays, 22.
On motion of Mr. Voorhees, the Sem
ate took up the House Joint Resolution
passed to-day, providing for the erection
of a monument TO mark the birth place
of George Washington. Mr.. Voorhees,,
i'm the course of a few remarks IN adj
vocacy of the resolution, said 1t would
be graceful act to mark the conclusion
of a somewhat acrimonious session OF
Congress, for the Senate to pass this
measure at once, and in the same patri-
otic spirit evinced by the House in its
adoption. The yeas and nays were
called and the resolution was passed
without a dissenting vOice-yeas, %;
nays, D.
Mr. Bayard moved that the Senate
take up the bill reported yesterday by
him from the Committee on Judiciary,
for the removal OF political disabilities
OF James Harrison, OF Virginia.
Mr.. Blaine asked ii the gentlemen had
asked for such removal.
Mr.. Bayard replied he had, and that
the committee had considered and re-
ported favorably on the measure.
The bill was taken up.
Mr.. Beck wished to ask why it was
necessary at this late date for Mr..
Blaine to ask such a question? He
spoke for sometime on the movement
for general amnesty and cOuciliatiOn
during past years, and said it was dis
graceful for Congress to be peddling out
their amnestIes now, and insisting on
petitions being filed before it could be
done. He voted for all of them, and
thought the laws requiring such special
votes should be repealed.
Mr.. Blaine did not reply to Mr.. Beck.
The bill was then passed.
After executive session, the Senate adj
jOurned.

HOUSE.

Mr.. Morrison from the Committee on
Ways and Means, reported a resolution
for the final adjournment of Congress at
noon of the 18th of June. Adopted.
Mr.. Harris asked leave TO offer joint
resolution appropriating $1,000 for a
monument to mark the birthplace Of
George Washington. He remarked that
the house of WashingtOn's parents has
disappeared and nothing remained to
show pOsterity where the Father OF his
Country was born.
The Speaker asked whether there was
any objection to the joint resolution.
Mr. Garfield-None on this side, am
sure.
The JOINT resolution was then adopted.
Mr.. McMahon reported back from the
Appropriation Committee bill making
appropriations for certain judicial eX-
penses OF the Government. 1t was re-
ierred 10 Committee of the Whole, and
the House Immediately went into
committee, all general debate on the
bill being limited to forty minutes.
Mr. Garfield made a strong speech
against the bill. He quoted the provi-
sion in the bill that none of the appro-
priations were made for compensation,
lees, expenses, &c, under title rs OF the
Revised Statutes, the deputy marshal
law, and denounced it as not repeal
but notification.
He was replied to by Mr.. Mcmahon,
and the general debate closed.
The bill was then considered by sec
tons.
The committee rose and reported the
bill to the House. a separate vote was
demanded by Mr. COnger on the amend
ment adopted by the committee fixing
