PolitlcnI VentiInforn.

The gathering at Greenlaw Opera
house, last night, was respectable in
numbers, in character and conduct.
They listened to Senator Jacksou's
speech, the same essentially that he
has been delivering at various points,
with attention, and at times the Seua.
tor wa applauded. In one or two in
stances the applause was as liberal as
is sometimes accorded to the players.
The Senator'S talk related mainly to
national aft irs. and was tender on
State aud local issues. The Hon.
EbeneSer james also spoke, aud told
good stories. interlsrded with many
twists in his facial structure TO give
1est to the fun. The two statesmen

Curious Fire.

About half past two o'clock this
morning a telephone vas sent to the
No. l engine house that there was a
fire on the northwest corner OF Vance
and Causey streets. Captain Ryan, Of
the hook and ladder, at once mounted
a horses and dashed away to the scene.
Before he reached the place, be could
see the smoke rolling from every win.
dow and through the creyices Of the
root. He entered the house aud met
a man on the first floor, who told bin
that the FIRE was on the upper
floor. When he reached the garrett
another party told him the FIRE was in
the cellar. On his way down he
passed through the bar Of the saloon
and noticed the proprietor, 4. G.
Nardi, taking a drink as compOsedly
as if nothing unusual was going or.
In the basement he found a darky IN
his hands and knees throwing water
on the flames, which leaped from a
pile of straw and licked the joist. A
little more help was called in and the
fire was quiukly extinguished. The
insurance was $500.

Our tsreat Country.

The census Of the United States
for 1880 gives the following totals on
several topics of interest, especially to
speech makers, who nearly always get
it wrong: Population, so, l52. 500; area
of square miles, 3,6O3,S84 public debt,
50, l20, 4l5,3 $40; revenue, 1898, 526, Gil;
expenditures, $267, 642, 1858; imports,
$76O,989, 056; exports, $S52,7S1,57
During the two years since the FORE
going was made public the public debt
has been reduced nearly $3.50, 900, 900,
the population has increased consider
ably and other items have been
changed a little. As data to make
speeches on, however, the figures
will answer at least until the
next census is taken, when changes
may be reliably ascertained. In this
connection it may be well to note that
Shelby county is third on the list Of
cotton raising counties Of this country,
cur total being mere than $4,000 bales
per annum. Yazoo county, in Missis
sippi, where Yszoo City is, grows a
little over $4,000 bales, and Washing.
ton county, where Greenville is, ovel
$4,000 bales. We can out count al
the others.

RAURs AND BUSES.
War Between These Noisy Pub
lie Servants.

There is war, bloody war, between
the hackmen and omnibus men. 1t
has been customary for the buses to
stand at a certain place at each depot,
and the hacks have heretofore grace,
fully yielded TO their claims, but
within the past few days there has
been a decided kick. The hackmen
say they are deprived OF all their
privileges, and demand equal rights
" IL the bus men on the ground that
the streets in front Of the depOts are
as much public property as they are at
any other points, aud that
the bus drivers have no
right to appropriate the most
eligible places. They concede the
right OF the checker and superinten
dent to enter the enclosure, but do not
think the bus drivers have any more
right within the depot gate than they
have.
All this eliminated in two fights at
the depots, yesterday, between the
rivals. The first between Barney
Farrell, a hickman, and Wyatt Ora.
ham, a bus driver, at the Memphis
and Charleston depot, was caused by a
remark Graham made to a traveller
that he would be robbed il he entered
Farrel's hack. The darky was pretty
badly punished.
At the Louisville and Nashville
depot the bus men claim the space
between two lamp posts directly in
front of the depot gates. AL Cook, a
~hackman, reached the depot first
yesterday evening and placed his team
a little to one side of this srace, but
his horses grew restless and moved ur
far enough to thrust the pole of the
carriage about two feet beyond one Of
the posts. At this moment Green
drove up on a bus and yelled to Cook
to move his hack out of the way
Cook refused to get out of the way fol
anybody, and the bus mar drove in.
regardless of consequences, stirring vi
Cooks team considerably. Then thel

President MADDEN to day, and both

G. P, Krouse and Sam AuerbaCk
paid their fine of three dollars each
and departed. A dog, which Mr..
KrOuse kicked, was at the bottom of
the battle.
A report reached Officer Horan
yesterday that a man had entered a
house near the Memphis and Charles
ton depot and drawn a pistol on the
inmates. He was fOund soon after
ward, but had no pistol, and was
merely trying to take a quininc cap
sule. He insisted that the officer
should wait until he washed it down
with whisky, but had to take cold
water at last, and made so strong a
promise not to take any more quinine
that the court released him.
Only n man went to the island.
Lizzie Thomas was arrested for
stealing twelve dollars from Blanche
Curry's house, but the proof was not
clear aud she was discharged.

would not get that way any more.
Two dollars was his fine.

N Was Not Mrs. Schuman.


The husband of Mrs. Schuman, who
figured ~unpleAsantly in a police court
story yesterday, desires his grievances
corrected to the effect that Mrs. Schu-
mans millinery establishment is 1872
Main street, more han half a square
from Mrs. Gray's place Of business.
Mrs. Schuman has never had any
quarrel with Mrs. Gray, indeed never
spoke to her, and, though in the same
line Of business, is not a jealous rival,
inasmueh as the patrons Of both do
not interfere with or bother each
other. Mrs. SJhuman has not figured
at the police court. either as a visitor
or otherwise, has had no trouble with
Mrs. Gray or any one else, and don't
know anything about such troubles.
She tries to mind her own business,
and has SO far succeeded at it.
The item was Of small Importance
at hest and was of little interest, ex-
cept to the parties directly concerned.
Mrs. Gray is known to be a quiet and
very clever lady, and one who is not
accustomed to NEEDLE with other
peoples affairs, or, indeed, with
any but her own business.
She was not at home
when the porter put the goods out on
the street, which gave oFense to a
neighbor, and the first she knew of it
was the notice citing her to appear at
the Police Court.

SIGNING II SCALE.
The IRON Workers Agree 10 Work
at the Old Prices.
Special to Cincinnati Commercial.

Special 10 Cincinnati Commercial,
PITTsBURG, September 2l-The
last act in the long struggle between
the iron workers and manufacturers
took place to-day, when the latter
signed the old scale. The Joint con.
ference committee OF both parties met
shortly after 10 o'clock, and, with the
exception of an hours recess for din
ner, were in continuous session till 5
O'Clock, when they adjourned. Aside
from verbal agreements, there was
nothing to show for the conference
except the following memorandum
We, the representatives of the
Amalgamated and Western Iron Asso.
citation, respectively agree to the
starting Of allthe mills in the First.
Second and Sixth Amalgamated Dis
tricts during the year ending June /,
1852. We further agree to refer back
to the Second District for adjustment
all questions of boiling, nail plate
heating, nail plate rolling, the scale of
weight and lengths and repairs to nail
machines; also, that the column Of
prices on page IL of the scale ending
June /, 1882, pertaining to knobblinS
pig metal, be stricken out and nothing
inserted instead"
The above was signed by representa-
lives OF the Amalgamated Association,
and the Executive Committee of the
Manufacturers Association. One of
the verbal agreements was that since
the Wheeling scale for making nails
rules in this city aud the West, the
question OF weights aud lengths. and
the paying for repairs on nail machines
by the firms, will have to remain In
%abeyance in those places until settled
in Wheeling, when it will be accepted
in other districts. There was a strong
impression among manufacturers this
morning that their committee would
not either sign the scale, or that thew
would secure by signing il, some mod.
ihcations in the powers Of the mill
committee, and a guarantee from the
AmalgamatCd Association that thew
would prevent further trouble from
tho n%ailers in the Wheeling district.
Nothing wal conceded in either ease.

Isoutbern World.I

The abundant rains of the latter
part of July and the first half OF Au-
gust, have had the effect to produce an
abundant crop of the natural grasses
in the Germ fields and other lands that
were in early crops. With the care
and attention that was bestowed last
year, the farmers will not only have
an abundant supply of corn. but also
hay. Last year there was probably
more hay saved in the extreme South
ern States lin Georgia certainly than
for many years past. We hope that
harvest will be repeated this year and
that the farmers barns will groan with
a superlative plenty. There is nothing
that pays better than to save the grass
that has cost nothing to grow it. IT
the Northern farmer a afford to pillow
and harrow and seed down his best
lands to grass, that he may have hay
for winter and spring, hsw much more
may the Southern farmer reap the
spontaneous growth from the fields that
have already yielded heavy crops OF
corn, or other grain.
Almost without exception, the sever
al kinds of grass should be mown for
hay when in full bloom. The old time
practice was to pull hay just before
frost, and the result vas a tough,
woody, fibrons staff, that was little
better for food than the frost-dead grass
of our early winter fields. Tho ripsn-
ing of the seed converts the starch and
sugar of the green grass into woody
fibre.
The blade should not be put into the
grass until the morning dew has disap,
peared, and before sunset all that was
cut before noon should be put iHta
small cecks to be spread out nexs
morning, after the dew has again dried
away. The following afternoon should
End it secure in the barn or haystack
Where the grass is very thick and rank,
it may require two days sun to cure il
properly, but it shsuld be safely housed
as soon as it is dry enough to keep
well.
Crab grass hay is not so coed as
crewfoot, and both are inferior to the
best timothy or clover, but if cut at the
proper time and well handled, they
make a hay that is much superior to
the average hay brought from the
West.
