THE TELEGRAPH WAR,

The Situation In Philadelphia Yesterday.
Record.
The feature of tho news yesterday in
| reference to the strike was the constantly
| repeated rumor that the Baltimore g.
| Ohio telegraph company had compromised
with the brotherhood on the terms made
by the American Rapid company. It Was
even insisted that Master Workman Law
erty had an order to be read at the strikers
meeting in the evening directing the Bal
timOre Il Ohio operators to return to their
keys. Mr.. Laverty promptly denied this
| story. At 6 o'clock. however the rumor
| received a'quietus upon the receipt of the
following dispatch from Baltimore
"The attention of the officials of the
Baltimore and Ohio telegraph company
having been called to a dispatch sent from
| New York to day relative to negotiations
said to be pending between the brother
hood and the Baltimore and Ohio CON-
pany in Baltimore, which would he con,
cluded yesterday, the following statement
thoritatively stated by the executive
officer OF the Baltimore and Ohio telegraph
company this afternoon that the rumOrs
regarding compromise by that company
with the Brotherhood of Telegraph Opera
tors are absolutely untrue and without
any foundation whatever. and that no
conferences are pending with that view CT
any other, and none contemplated"
This dispatch threw cold water Oh the
hopes Of the strikers, who have been

determination not TO give in an inch to tie

Tho American Espld's Boom.
The business at the American Rapids
offices throughout the city threatened at
one time yesterday to Overtax the facilities
of the company. Forty-seven first class
operators in the main offices and the vari
GUS branches were pegging away as fast
as they could 60, and it is claimed that the
Rapid handled more messages than all
the other companies in tho city combined,
except the bankers and merchants.
During the day various state
ments were current regarding the
proposed now telegraph company said to
be now organized in New York. 1t was
stated that large amount Of capital had
been pledged, on condition that the broth.
erhood would indOrse tho scheme and hold
the operators out until the plans being
arranged could be perfected. At the same
time the capitalists backing the scheme
promise the strikers substantial aid, so as
to enable them to hold out long enough. It
was said that the American Rapid was
to be the nucleus of the new company,
which was to have $10,00O,0 900 capital.
Hearing this movement, it is said jay
Gould has made an attempt to gobble up
the American Rapid, but that he was not
successful, as the arrangements with the
other parties had been completed. An
other story was that since the trouble
with the strikers Gould had obtained
controlling interest in the Baltimore and
Ohio company, which accounted for it's
stern refusal to treat with the strikers,

A Queer Tomb.
Boston Journal

In the ancient burying- ground at Eas, Roxford. this state, there is a curious tomb, which is visited by many people in the course of a year. This is the tomb of General Solomon Low, who was buried here in 1861, and who died at the age cf % years. IL was designed by himself. and has on either side of the entrance two handsome white marble grave-s,ones erected to the memory of his three wives who. are also inferred there. On each stone are carved pictures of his wives. The rirst two are represented with their children around them and infants in thei, arms. They are sitting in antique chairs with straigh, backs. The two wives rep- resented on the second stone are sittinz in modern rocking-chairs beside a center table on which are books. The fourth wife is still living. When the adjacen ground was used for a muster-held the tomb was always opened for one day, and the generals regimentals were exhibited there, in accordance with the directions Tn the will.

Miss Louise Dawson, the amiable sister

by Fargo society, as whole,
as we'll as by the circle
of friends who knew her more intimately.

That Afair at Jcnsssto,cn.

From the statements made in the James
town papers, concerning the affair of II. P.
Luse, of Bradstreet commercial agency,
recently mentioned in the GLOBE, it would
seem that the postmaster of that enter
prising and beautiful city, was one of
class of individuals whom it would be
mercy to the people to have
removed. 1t seem sthat young Luse had
made arrangements with clerk to get his
mail at the private door of the office, so
that he might get away onl the east
bound train. When he went to the door
he opened it slightly and stepped one foot
inside. and the door was slammed in his
face as soon as he asked for his mail. He
put out his hand and arm to push the door
back to release his foot, and the postmas-
ter swears the hand hit him and he is
fined S.. Soon after his release big bully
of postofice clerk, who does the foreign
work, pounded Mr.. Luse, who is slight
young man of 120 pounds. Mr.. Luse had
him arrested and fined.
Anyone of any sense would have natur-
ally considered this the END of the matter,
but Postmaster Kelley was not satisfied.
His dander was up and he had Mr.. Luse
brought before United States Commits
sioner McHugh on a charge of attempting
forcible entry into government Office,
and he was Immediately discharged. But
Kelley was not yet satisfied and trumped
up another charge, bound, evidently, to do
the young man as much injury as posi-
BILE. The whole thing looks to an outsider
like piece of malicious persecution, and
it is hoped by Mr.. Luse's many friends in
Fargo and throughout the northwest that
he will hold the matter down and give Mr..
postmaster his fill. Mr.. sLuse is aiquiet,
respectable young man, and it would seem
from the stated circumstances that there
is no ground whatever for the fool case but
the foolishness of its pusher.

1.-The commanding officers of the several

authorized to order drills, parades and schools
of instruction at such times and places as they
may deem necessary, and all orders relating
thereto issued by re2imental commanders must

Second-According to the decision of
his excellency, the commander in chief as
contained in the foregoing order, some
officers of this regiment have lately been
guilty of disobedience of orders; some of
conduct unbecoming an officer and a gen
tleman, in melting others to disobey or
ders; and some of conduct to the prejudice
of good order and military dicipline
in holding meetings in which the action
of their superiors was criticised, ant
then making public the result of those
meetings. Respect toward superiors
and prompt obedience to orders, are the
first requisites of soldier, and wher
officers set a bad example. what can be
expected OF the men? A court martial
would certainly visit the offenders

as it is the opinion of the commanding of

| through the bad advice of some who should
have known better, nc further notice viii

will be expected to make amends in tn,
future for their past errors.
Third-The captain of each company il

order to be served at once on each mem
Der of his command, and will post cop,
for thirty days on the bulletin board in tn
