PITrsBURG, May 3O.-The observance Of
Decoration Day was quite general, although
the rain prevented many from participating
in the memorial services at the cemeteries,
and effectually interfered with picnics and
other outdoor festivities.
A movement is on foot here among prom

Republic to have the day changed to June
80, as at that time the weather is more set
tied and flowers plenty and not so expensive.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, May SO.-Captain L.

ent Parker left for Chicago to-day for a con-
ference with the officers of the company,
having first had an understanding with the
men that they will work till o'clock Fri
day morning. The blast-furnace will con-
dnue for about two weeks as no union men
are employed there. A rumoF that the ANAL
gamated association owes money borrowed at
the time OF the troubles last wear, seems to
be unfounded, as an examination of the re-
ports of the association treasurer and secre-
tary made to the Chicago convention of 1882
in detail shows no money borrowed.

the Republican party anything, is false.

voice, ave are free at last" We are in duty

cruelty they have perpetrated upon the poor
colored people, and long 10 see the time
