The star-route cases, after six months
trial, terminated on Thursday by verdict
of acquittal. The affair was a sort Of Il
farce upon the part of the government.
The accused were given all advantages,
and the jury was such that confidence
could not be placed in it. One juryman
was a heavy drinker, and the day before
the verdict was rendered had an attack Of
delerium tremens

From the Frederick Union

The Democrats of Freedom district, Car
roll county, have deemed it necessary to take
some steps to insure complete harmony in
their ranks, and have organized a club for
work in the coming campaign. 1t is the pur
pose of the club to first, prevent a contest for
district delegates to the county nominating
conventions; second, to get all Democrats
registered; third, to inform Democrats by
speeches, papers and documents on the issues
of the campaign; fourth, to get out the full
Democratic vote on election day. The plat
form of the Freedom club is an excellent one,
and the Democrats of Frederick county could
do nothing more to their advantage than fol-
low the Democracy of this portion of our
neighbor, Carroll The approaching cam
paign promises to be one of considerable mo-
ment and it behooves the Democracy of Fred
erick county not to be in the rear while the
battle is raging. We would suggest that the
Democrats of the various districts throughout
the county take the matter in hand, and do
all in their power to effect proper organlza-
ton of our forces in their respective localities.
Let some one district take the initiative, and
others will follow.

A Baltimore paper speaks of "soft-shell-

without shells, and that as soon as the
shells are regrown they are hard. You
can't expect city editors, however, to know
everything. These walking encyclopedias
are sometimes at fault

THE TELEGRAPH STRIKE.
InauguratOd at Noon on Thursday--Tl
Strike General.

InauguFatOd at Noon on Thursday--The
Strike General.
PITTSBURGH, July 19.-The telegraph
eTs' strike was inaugurated at IL AZ this
morning. At that hour, at a given
signal, every member of the brotherhood
quit work, and cOmingOut of the several
offices formed procession and marched
to headquarters, where meeting was
held. A canvass Of the offices a few
minutes later, found fifteen men at
work in the Western Union, three in
the Baltimore & Ohio, one in the Ameri-
can Rapid, and none in the Mutual
Union. The number of men who came
out are as follows: Western Union,
sixty-seven; American Rapid, sixteen;
Baltimore & Ohio, seven; Mutual Union
four. The Western Union are receiving
business as usual, and say beyond delay
there will be no interruption, and that
within the next twenty-fOur hours the
force will be increased materially.
NEW YORK, July 19-NOOn.-The tele-
graph operators here have struck and
are now leaving the building. At pre-
cisely IL o'clock, Washington time, sew
eral hundred operators in the Western
Union Telegraph room laid down their
utensils, and started for the halls. The
executive committee of the Brotherhood
to-day, publish an official statement
which justifies their petition for an in
crease of pay, and assails the telegraph
companies for reducing their salaries
and refusing to raise them again.
AKRON, July 19.-Both operators in the
Western Union. Telegraph office here
Joined this noon in the prevailing strike.
With the exception of five or six messa-
ges from Cleveland no business has
since been transacted. The manager,
w. G. Allen, is acting as his own opera
tor, and does not think 1t probable that
he will secure the temporary services
of men not connected with the brother
hood. At this season of the year the av-
erage number of messages sent daily
from the Akron Office is about 25O.
CHICAGO, July 19.-At IL O'Clock, Wash
ingtOn time, the main body of the Oper-
atOrs in the Western Union Office in this
city went out on their strike. 1t is esti-
mated that more than 100 operators
went out. There was some cheering as
they filed out, but nothing bOisterous.
Outside the building a great crowd had
gathered to witness the departure of the
operators, and there was some cheering
as the head of the column of strikers
made its aDDearance.

A Murderer Convicted.

A special from Orlando, Orange cOun-
ty, Fla, says: The trial of Archibald B.
Newton for the killing of Samuel Me-
Millen, near Sanford, last October, clO-
sed today with verdict of guilty. The
circumstances of the murder were high
ly sensational. McMillen was supposed
to have a large sum of money al
ways with him. Newton, an En-
glishman by birth, lived near
and was poor. McMillen disap-
peared Sept. 30th, and soon afteTward
Newton and wife were flush with mon
ey. Oct. 18th McMillen's headless body
was found in Crystal lake partly consul
med by fishes, with rope around the
waist tied to pot of nails. The rope,
pot and nails were proved to be the
property Of Newton. The evidence was
wholly circumstantial and the trial was
bitterly contested by eminent counsel,
employed by English relatives of New
ton. The jury was out four hours. Nc
Millen was citizen of Salem, COlumbi-
ana county, and when murdered, had
his clothes packed to return home for
the winter.

WOOL MARKET.

The Commercial Bulletin of Boston
says: For most kinds of clothing wOOls,
both washed and unwashed, quotations
are the same as last week and the market
Is steady. Most Boston dealers are in
clined to sell freely at to-day's quota
tiOns, and this fact may partially explain
the increased movement here, mannfae-
turers finding that BOstOn's offerings of
good selections of wool compare more
fayOrably with the interior than 1t did
a month ago. The purchases of manu-
facturers In the country during the past
month have been larger than usual.
Territory woods are beginning to arrive
with fair degree Of freedom, though
only a moderate quantity of the choice
fieeces Of Montana have yet been receiv-
ed. The sales of territory wOols this

DIR. Warder of Cincinnati, distinguish
ed as a scientific horticulturist and
prominent in the forestry association,
departed this life last week. He was
President of the State Horticultural As
ISOLATION; was an author of more than
zone work on these subjects, and was
high authority as a scientific man. DR..
Warder was in Canton two or three
years ago when the State horticultural
Society met here.
The Cincinnati papers comment upon
DR.. Warder's burial. 1t seems his two
sons wanted a coffin made of strips, so
that the earth should come In contact
with the body, but not being able to get
such from the undertaken, took a coffin
of the cheapest and plainest kind. No
services were had whatever over the re-
mains, and the two sons alone, with the
driver, accompanied the corpse. His
death was not made public, and many
prominent citizens who would have been
glad to give deceased suitable burial,
knew nothing Of his death till after he
was buried. IL seems conceded that the
learned doctor was independent in his
views, and it was thought the sons car
ried out his positive commands.
