BETTER THAN A CIRCUS.
The Freak Ofa MeddIesOme Wo.
man Causes TrOuble In Tho
Neigh bOFhOOd.

For some time past the residents of
Bead street, between Adams and Mon
roe, have been seriously annoyed by q
meddlesome woman who resides In their
midst, but whose name we will not
make public. 1t appears that this wo-
mandelighCs In raising row with all the
neighbOrhOed. Nothing pleases her
better than to get hold Of something by
which she can scandalize her neighbors.
As soon as she becomes possessed ofsny
street gossip, she quickly drops her
work and Aies from one house To the
other and divulges the whole affair, but
OF course stunning the party whom the
tale concerns. This is repeated from
time to time until each and every one
residing in the square have been dealt
with, when a preliminary recess is
taken, after which the same thing is
inaugurated again until the neighbors
have become thoroughly disgusted with
the whole proceedings. Several times
have they appealed to the police, but
when the officers of the law make their
appearance, quietness reigns supreme,
until they disappear, when the fun is re-
newed. ..E

thus afflicted by this woman paid a
visit to the REPUBLICAN, Office and re-
hearsed the whole affair before busy
reporter, who was invited out to see
the circus, she stating that 1t was bet
ter than any comic opera. From the
VISITORS actions she appeared to be
more pleased than grieI ed at the state
of affairs in the neighborhood and
seemed to glory in the change of scenes
around about her. The lady visitor In
describing the affair, pictured it in
high colors, 80 that the reporter who
had had but little excitement for some
time past longed to be an eye witness
and upon expressing his desire was ex-
tended an invitation to be present at
any time during the day and he could
see the whole performance. This lady,
who is q new conner in the neighbor,
hood, told the reporter that the trouble
some lady had begun q war on her
which she was not able to stand, and
consequently she gave her as good as
she sent. In this new conner the med
dlesome woman found her match, as
far as words were concerned, when she
resorted to something more severe and
tried to raise fight. The meddlesome
woman is known as "the bully Of the
neighborhoOd," and accordingly chal.
lenged the new conner to a regular fsti-
cuff, which she boldly accepted,
much to the surprise of the challenger,
who Immediately took water and retired
from the scene. Thus the matter rests;
but ere long fresh attack will no doubt
be made. 1t has been suggested that If
the woman, who thus annoys the whole
neighborhoOd, would attend to her own
affairs and devote her spare time to the
cultivation of her several children, she
would have enough to do and her neigh
bors could rest in peace.

1B tho Holy War Begun?

The following is from the Nav Yo rk
Observer: turkey has been very con.
temptuously treated Of late years: her
dependencies have been stripped from
her. Russia, Austria, France, England,
have all had a hand in humbling and
bleeding poor Turkey, until she lies be-
fore the world the most abject of king.
doms, the derision of the powers Of Eu-
rope. Egypt is nominally subject to
Turkey, but a foreign government bonn
bards her forts to protect her from her
own subjects, and the world looks on,
and heartilyIhopes that England will
stay where she has gone with her guns,
and maintain the government of civil
iEation in the land of the Pyramids.
1t was not the purpose OF the British
government to drive out the Turk from
Egypt. But God disposes very differ.
emily from the purposes Of man. And
it may be that a great Christian power
Is to be established in Egypt at this
critical junture in the history OF Islam.
The rumors of "a holy war are filling
the East with apprehension. If it be-
gins it will probably take the form Of
a general massacre of Christians by the
Moslem hordes. They will seek to
make progress westward. They mus
be met on the eastern border of civil
iAation. And our belief is, that when
such an enemy comes in like flood the
Lord will lift up standard agai nst
him. 1t is not Tor moment to be sup.
posed that the light of the world Is to
be extinguished by an invasion of dark
ness; that the cross is to go down before
the crescent in the latter part of the
nineteenth century. Rather do we be-
lieve that, if this so.called 'Holy War
is to begin now or within few years.
it will be the beginning of the end of
Moslem power; it will prove to be the
great battle to which history and pro-
phecy both point, when the forces of
truth and error, of light and darkness,
OF the CROSS of Christ and the powers Of
hell, willcons intot conflict. To this
consumation events seem to be tending.
Prophecying is very poor business for
uninspired men to undertake, and we
make no pretentions to the gift. But
we are living in expectation Of great
events, and our eyes are turned towards
the East.

Iamoa ReddeU,

James Redden, the colored man who
ia sentenced to be executed on the 25th
of this month, was born in 1868 and
consequently is but 10 years Of ase.
He says that he is ready to die and
spends almost all his time in singing
and prayer.
His mother, and also a colored
preacher visit him very frequently,
and minister to his spiritual and tenn
poral wants. The prisoner does not
seem to entertain any hope Of a rOprieve
and it is not probable that any effort
will be made to induce the Governor
to interfere with the sentence of the
Court.
The execution will be private, and
strictly in accordance with the law
which provides that only 80 persons
shall be present. 1t will be useless for
persons to apply to the Sheriff for pas
ses, for 1t is not in his power
to grant them, even If he were 80 dis
posed.

The striking driver boys from the
Empire aud Hillenback Mines, at
Wilkesbarre, Pa, met in Parrish
Grove yesterday afternoon, and adopt.
ed resolution, demanding the opera
tors 70 allow them full time for any
part of days work if such Jime is al
lowed to the miners. A committee was
sent from the grove to the General Su.
was held between them and the opera
tors, which lasted several hours, but to
no effect. Another meeting between
them will be held tonight. They are
reasons for the belief that, If they do
not come to an immediate settlement
the strike will spread to the Plymouth,
Ashley and Sugar Notch Mines, which
cover all the mines of the Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre Company operated by
Charles Parrish & Co.
At the conference, last night, at
Wilkesbarre, Pa, between the strikers
and Parrish 81 Co., the time books were
produced and it was shown that, dur.
ing the month Of July, ~ days work
had been lost at the Holleubeck aud
only eight hours at the Empire mines.

At the result of the mass meeting on
Thursday night at Cohoes, N. Y, the
Executive Committee of the Harmony
Mills "stay outs" claim decrease Of

and the promise of more to quit work
to-day. The decisive struggle will be
made on Monday. If the force at work
is increased to any material number the
ranks of the strikers will be broken.
Contributions are now being received
from the Trades Assembly, judicious
use inspires the strikers to prolong the
strike. The weavers in the bag mill all
failed to report for duty, and the wheel
was not started. The operatives in the
mills have been reduced to three. The

The MaIley Jurors.

Aspecial despatch from New Haven,
Conn, says:
One of the most peculiar social gath.
erings ever known at that popular Con
necticut shore resort, Savin Rock, waI
held to-day, being a reunion OF the
twelve Jurors who tried Walter and
James Malley and Blanche Douglas
for the murder of Jennie Cramer.
Until recently it was known to the
twelve, only, that on the day they
brought In their verdict 1t was agreed
by them that on Aug. 9 they would
meet on Savin Rock shore and enjoy a
seafood dinner. The date was Just one
year and three days after the finding Of
Jennie Cramer's body, and the place
chosen was the Hills Brothers Home
stead, from whose broad verandah the
party this afternoon looked out upon
the pole in the sandy beach, support.
ing small American flag, that mark
ed the place where the girls body was
washed ashore.
The party were quite hilarious, and
there were frequent laughing inquiries
as to Miss Blanche Douglas where
abouts. One juror told of having seen
her at Brighton Beach about two weeks
ago and the others listened with inter
eat while he spoke of the merry party
she was with and the sensation she
created when her identity was made
generally known.
Three or four OF the Jurors, in discuss.
ing the trial for the first time since
bringing in their verdict, said that they
thought the State .nadea great mistake
In not urging that Jennie Cramer came
TO her death OIL Thursday instead Of
on Friday Of that August week last
year.
After an enjoyable hour at the din
ner table the twelve started of and Wis.
tied Kelsey's wharf, the flying horses,
the baseball tent and all the points
about the shore that were dwelt upon
In the trial. 1t Ia probable that some
time in August next there will be q
