MOI GMiIIY.

Mr.LE.Schlauch, publisher oft the Stating
ton Netos, last week went through his libel
suit unscdthed, and in him the rights of
the press have again been vindlcated. 1t
seems the Netos, about year ago, published
a local in which the wife of Mr.. George
Hoatz, of Slatington, was charged with hav-
ing perloined several cakes of charcolate in
the store in Williamstown, and hence came
the prosecution for libel. The case was
tried a second time last week-the jury hav-
ing in the first failed to agree upon verdict
The defense proved that there were good
grounds for the article in question, and that
the editor had used considerable diligence Ia
ascertain the truth, and, therefore, was enti-
tied to an acQuittal under the new constitu-
ton of Pennsylvania. The jury brought in
verdict OF mot guilty" and divided the
cost between the prosecutor and defendant
the latter because he had made some COM
ments that were not exactly called for.

THE BUSY BEES.
The Meeting of the Northwestern Bee
Union Yesterday-Interestlng Proceed
ings.

The Meeting of the Northwestern Bee
Union notwithstanding Proceed
ings.
The Northwestern Bee union held suppressed
buzz at the capitol, yesterday. The president, G.
Caspar, of Stearns county; the secretary, F. B.
Dougherty, of Taylors Falls; Rev. J. J. Teter, st.
Paul, and Jasper n Seares, Dakota county, OF the
executive committee and some half dozen others
were in attendance. The reason more didn't swarm
to the convention arose from the fact of q con-
fusion of dates; many thought the meeting was set
rather than Tuesday, the I'd inst. However, the few
in attendance got down to moderate degree
Of business, nothing in formal way. Owing to the
absence Of so many members Of the Union, it was
concluded wisely to omit the reading of all set papers
and not to provoke any prolonged discussion.
To put in the time instructively exhibit of sup
plies of the apiary took place, following which sever
al hives exhibited and inspected, besides
siderable bee literature was casually glanced at and
handled over, distributed among those in attend
ance for careful perusal.
Mr.. Searles presented the subject of sub-ventila-
ton for winter keeping of bees, and had diagram
of mode suggested by parties in Chicago. This
was closely Inspected and no little interest was
evnced in the subject Of keeping bees through the
winter, and the proper modes Of ventilation to be
adopted, without the Introduction of cold air. etc.
Other matters of particular interest to bee owners
were discussed wholly In couoquial way, but which
interested all present.
There no little disappointment at the slim at
tendance, which from the mistake stated above,
but to obviate it the meeting adjourned until May
49, 1880, the convention then to be held in Hastings.

STRIKING STONE-CUTTERS.

The Men on the New Elevator Demand
Higher Wages-A Statement OF Their
Grievances and Their Employers De-
Tense.
The stonec cutters to the number Of seventeen,
poyed by Daniel Mullen the contractor building the
new elevator ct the Como crossing, presented their
employer yesterday morning with paper signed by
per day. Mr.. Mullen declined to accede to their de-
mands, and the men accordingly quit work. One of
the strikers was by GLOBE representative and
gave the following reasons for the strike:
Oh Monday morning the men were informed that
the future be S225. This caused some dissatisfac-
ton, nut as hours were getting shorter they con-
Guided to stand the reduction. Yesterday morning
they informed that they would be paid for their
work by the piece instead of daily wages. This new
change the men would not agree to- and accordingly
struck.
Mr.. Mullen was met, and said that the reduction of
wages and the proposition to pay for the work done
by the piece was occasioned by two things: The re-
were shortened about an hour. The proposition to
pay by the piece was caused by large part Of the
stone-cutting wing to be done over, which oc-
casioned by the iucompetency of the engineer, Mr..
Joseph Sewall, who has the work in charge. The
men, Mr.. Mullen stated could make g 80 per day by
piece work. but as nearly all the work has to be done
over twice. they afraid to risk their time. He
at his proposition, but there plenty of others
that could be found he would not take them back if
they wanted to come.
New will be put to work in place Of the strikers
this morning if they be obtained, and the work.
it is claimed will not be put back any by the strike.

Taken in to the Tune of $500.

An item in yesterdays GLOBE announced
the supposed arrival in this city of the mar
shal of Winona, who was in search of party
who was wanted for obtaining goods under
false pretenses. Owing to the departure of the
official it was impossible to obtain the facts on
Tuesday evening, but information collected
yesterday proved that the item alluded to was
slightly at variance with the real facts in the
case, inasmuch as the official named should
have read Marshal Woodward, of Hastings, the
real parsonage. His visit to St. Paul was made
in the interest of!a man named La Green, who
had the wool drawn over HIS financial optics to
the tune of $500, by an artful dodge named Lu.
enburg.
The latter individual came to La Green, the
capitalist of the narrative, few days since.
and requested the loan of few hundred dol
lars. La Green had the lucre, but with the
proverbial timidlty of wealth. made some al
fusion to security. Did the gentleman have
any collateral? OF course he did; good as
wheat, the fact being that he owned several
hundred bushels of that cereal stored away in
an elevator, in addition to which be was will
ing to mortgage his buggy.
The loan was duly consummated, and day
or two ago Luenberg shipped his wheat, buggy
and other personal property to some Eastern
point and skipped that part of the country.
Up to yesterday the refugee or the collateral
had not been discovered.

quently during the past week, and in every in

who claimed to have lost the money, had it

was sent to the Chippewa House, on Robert

and learned that when he arrived a
80 bill was all his bundle. The prophet. T
OF the house stated that he spent some money
for drinks, and at noon took his grip" and
started for the train to go to some town in
Wisconsin. Allison was taken back to the sta
ton. and on being searched So were found in
his pocket. he then weakened on his story
and was gently bounced. Last night at 6
O'Clock he was found by Officer Newell in a
