TUE GREAT CONFLICT
BETWEEN LABOR AND cAeIrL


NRw York, August 1G,-The Western
Union Telegraph compaSy's officials said
this morning that thirty-ave circuits Of this
city were interlered with last last night BY
throwing fine wires over the regular wires.
At II O'Clock it was eaid that all the cir
cults were in working order, though the
keys worked heavily on account of damp
weather. Superintendent Rhinestone said
he had taken back seven OF the striking
operators this forenoon. They were taken
back at the same salaries formerly received.
It is rumored that :umber OF the strik-
ing operators will meet to-day for the pur-
pose OF taking concerted action in with.
drawing from the Brotherhood In order
that they might honorably apply for posi-
ton at the office OF the company. There
are at present So OF the Western Union
branch offices in this city closed and about
40 more operators are required at the
Western Union building. The compAny's
officials say tina! about l25 operators are
required in this city to put it in first elias,
condition.
Saor4y after noon to-day three more
operators OF the Brotherhood applied for
work at the Western Union office and
were taken back at the old rate. This
makes ten in all, the officials say, that
have gone back TO day. The Brotherhood
denied the report that number OF opera
tors would withdraw from the orgauiz alton
to resume work ut the Western Union
Office. They say they are as determined
as ever to hold out as long as their finances
Inst. They also deny that ten OF the men
returned 10 work to-day, and say only one
went back.
Tho Western Unioa Telegraph officials
tonight state that % strikers applied for
employment to-day; seventeen were taken
back. Eighty-nine man have now alto
gether returned. The Western union Com
pany look upon the strike as virtually
ended. An air Of glYom pervades the
headquarters Of the Brotherhood and no
further expressions Of confidence in the
success and determination to hold out are
heard.

Hoadly and Mclean. The party OF the

new coalition is found in Hoadly's denial

dare make denial. But he jumps up

A TRIPLE TRAGEDY.

q Chieago Murder.

chicago Murder.
CHICAGO, August lB.-A tragedy OF
marked features was partially climaxed
here to-day. About six weeks ago, as stated
in dispatches, Thomas Mcguire killed Mrs.
Mary Little. The woman, a widow, had
been living with William Leyson. Tiring
of the latter, she made herself agreeable to
Thomas Mcguire. Mcguire believed the
widow to be uniaithful to him, and killed
her with razlr. Before be was arrested
he had gashed his throat with the same
razor, and upon being taken to Jail
and placed in a cell he produced
another razor and vainly attempted to tiud
his jugular. William Lsyson, whom the
women first deserted, has been brooding
over the widows fickleness for weeks, and
last night, with razor asa helper, he at.
tempted to sever his windpipe. He did
not exactly succeed, but to-day he died Of
delirium tremens. He is now lying e
corpse in the morgue, with his throat
bandsged.
Maguire, the murderer. Is in jail, with
bis throat bandaeed. The grand fual Of
this tragedy will be reached when Mcguire
is hanged, as he surely will be.

Springs September 10.
NEw YoRK, August l6.-The Republican
State Committee met at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel yesterday, and decided to hold the
State Convention at Richtield Springs, on
September 10. The meeting brought to.
gBther many Republicans from various
parts OF the State. The best OF good feel.
ing prevailed, and everything seemed to
point to an earnest and harmonious cam.
paign. The absence Of the Presidential
element from the gossip OF the day was
marked. The pending State campaign was
discussed without reference TO next year,
although, when questioned on the point,
prominent Republicans were free to say
that a victory in this State this year would
be very desirable on account OF the i'm
portance OF next years campaign. But no
one pretended TO predict next years sue
cess on this work.
Tho absence OF Presidential gossip was
the more marked because, heretofore great
stress has been laid by the Republicans on
the importance OF ESaking good showing
in any year preceding q national canvass.
The most prominent subject OF converea-
lion, aside from the immediate business
before the committee, was that Of the next
State Senate. That Senate will have to
vote for United States Senator, TO take
the place OF Senator Lapham, aud the i'm
porlauce to the Republicans Of carrying
the State Senate this fall was recognised on
every hand, with tue intent to cleo: the
majority OF the State Senators. A desire
was expressed by every one to secure the
nomination Of a firstc man. Indeed,
there was good deal said at the hotels to-
day about nominating good men. The
fact the present State officers have, by
their record as a general thing, placed
themselves among what Is understood by
the political term good men, accounts for
the unanimity Of opinions in favor OF their
