THE RAILROADS NOT AFFECTED.
OPERATORS AT WORK AS UsUAL-No FEARS OF
STRIKE,


STRIKE
No apprehension is felt by railroad men Of strike
of the operators on the telegraph lines connected
with the roads. While of these lines leased
from the Western Union Co, lpany the operators in
all but few cases emp NJ directly by the rail-
road companies. At stations who're the commercial
business is too small TO warraro tie telegraph COM
panies in establishing separade ot3s the BUS mess
is done by the railroad operation H. Is not believed
that the railroad operators who are ctembers of the
Brotherhood WILL at least for the prsSent be called
upon to respond to the strike except in far to
refuse TO do commercial business for the telegraph
companies No interruption of the regular movement
of trains is therefore expected.
John Newell, president of the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern Railroad. who is in this city on
railroad matters said 81 talked recently with one
or two of our head men and they said that they sup
posed that the members of the Brotherhood might
join strike. Since then have been informed that
the railroad operators will DO required to strike
until the present difficulty of the West
en Union is settled. Then, IL the
demands are granted, the railroad companies
will be called upon to advance their men. 90 the
Western Union standard What the railroads
would do Ill that case cannot say But there will
be no interference with regular transport alton.
Most of ourim portant men we'll paid and we
could dispense with three quarters of the entire
force without anything more than little incon-
venience. Many offices are maintained not
because they arc necessary. but because
they convenient and desirable. Train
dispatches occupy too important positions to DO AZ

Charles NJ. Bisscll, superintendent of the New

I'VE have had no trouble of any kind with our
operators Why should wei Railroad operators
are not Western Union operators and as I under

Ii has always been said by old hunters
and woodsmen that under certain condi-
tons a rattlesnake eXudes an odor which
is not only unbearably offensive to the
sense OF smell, but that ii person should
be subjected to its presence for any length
OF time in close room the result would be
fatal TO him. This has generally been
looked upon as one Of the many supersti.
tions that pravail among the resi-
dents Of the backwoods, but a case
is reported from the Pocono region,
in Monroe county, Pa. which il true.
ana II seems to be well substantiated,
would indicate that the belief is founded
on fact. The story is that two men from
New Jersey-B. L. Altemus and Samuel
Roy-while spending few days in that
vicinity looking over some timber-land
with view to purchasing a tract, con-
cluded, for the novelty OF the thing, to
spend one night in the woods. II was one
OF the recent very cold nights. The in
tention OF the men was TO sleep in the
open air by campfire, but the cold was
so intense that they were driven to en-.

night Roy awoke. There was feeling Of

breathing with difficulty. There was
peculiarly slckening smell in the cabin.
Altemus was breathing heavily, and bis
breath came at long intervals. Roy had
difficulty in awakening him. hut finally
aroused him, and both struggled to their
feet. The fire had ceased blazing, but the

The Chancellor.

iEuiuOurBn heVleN.l
The Chancellor was, even in Saxon times,
an official OF considerable dignity, and
under the Norman kings his functions be-
came more varied and his power progress
sively increased. Like other great func-
tionaries of the household, he occupied a
seat In the Curia Regis; as Keeper Of the
Royal Seal he had to authenticate all
grants and charters; while, as secretary to
the King, he became familiar with his most
private affairs. In the reign OF Henry III,
when the Chief Justiciary OF all England
was shorn OF his splendor, the Chancellor
became the second parsonage IN the king
com, and his salary exceeded that OF any
other Judge. When the three great courts
OF common law had been evolved out OF
and tinally separated from the Great Coun-
ell large quantity Of legislative and judi
eial work continued to be transacted by
the latter. These various matters were
brought before the King in council in the
form OF petitions, and when their number
increased, as 1t did In the reign OF Edward
I'LL, II became usual to refer them TO the
department conversant with the subject
matter OF each petition. Tothe Chancellor,

Swift Punishment.

NEGRO ASSAULTS TWO WHITE GIRLS AND Is
RIDDLED WITH BULLETS.
A Columbia, s. c.. special says: In the
northern part OF Sumter county, in what is
known as the bull region OF the county.
Thursday afternoon, burly, brutal negro
named Dick Singleton, who is OF immense
size, assaulted little white girl named
Bette Dixon, the daughter OF highly
esteemed planter. The girl, who is but
twelve years OF age, and unusually Intelli-
gent and attractive, was in company with
an older sister, some little distance from
home, on the borders OF piece OF wood
land, where they had gone to gather wild
grapes.
The older sister, who fought with almost
superhuman strength to protect the
younger sister, was stabbed by the negro.
At first it was supposed the wound was
not dangerous, but later developments in
dictate that 1t Is probably fatal.
The negro, who is married, fled to his
cabin and made no further effort to escape.
Last night, about two hours after the
crime, sufficient number OF citizens had
been notified, and a meeting was held. 1t
was without dissenting voice resolved
that the negro should be shot. The meet
ing was composed entirely OF peaceable
men, the most respectable citizens In that
part OF the county.
They mounted their horses, and, without
masks rode quietly down to the negro's
house. surrounded it, took him out to the
scene OF the outrage, tied him to tree, rid
died him with bullets, and left the body
tied to the tree.
The little girl lies in precarlous condi-
ton, and will probably die.
A piece OF board with the following
words written upon 1t was nailed to the
tree over the negro's head:
SOUR WIVES, DAUGHTERS, MOTHERS, AND
SISTERS MUST AND SHALL BE PROTECTED"
Public opinion iustifies the shooting.

Honesty is Bound 10 Win.

We find that the Hamburg-Bremen Fire
Insurance Company does not lack Tor words
of praise outside OF Richmond. Read the
following from the Shenandoah valley OF
the 21st:
Ifeel it is a duty to express my gratitude to
the estimable gentlemen doing business for
the Hamburg Bremen Fire-Insurance Com
pany. Their general agent, Mr.. John W.
Gordon, visited me few days after my
barn, &C., had been destroyed by fire, and
in the most gentlemanly manner adjusted
my claim, and in six days from the time he
saw mel sent me a draft Oh New
York for every dollar Of my pol
icy-viz., $4,000. Ny contract was with
the Lynchburg Company. and their policy
was payable sixty days after date OF settle
ment. But, mind you, after had insured
in the Lynchburg Company 1t sold oct to
the Hamburg Bremen Fire-Insurance Com
pany. The Hamburg-Bremen company,
instead of settling according to the Lynch
burg contract, as il would have bad per-
feet right to do, jumped that contract and
settled with me according to the obliga-
tons OF It's own policy-payable as soon as
adjusted. They took off nothing, nor did
they ask for any reduction, but as soon as
possible sent me their draft, thus ena-
bling me to prepare for new barn.
IL is right for men TO do all they
contract TO do. but many-yes, very many
only do so by being forced by the laws
of our country to do it. These gentlemen
might have given NE much trouble and
STAYED me back at least sixty days, but such
was not the case. They paid me at once.
and that every dollar OF my policy. | have
always felt kindness for prompt, faithful
business gentlemen, and i'm this company

tons; and hence feel like recommending

agent, most esteemed gentleman, l.. Trip

tleman rode from his home TO my place--a
distance OF twelve miles-through drench-
ing rain, to hand me my draft and ell out
a policy on my remaining property. Such
businessmen should be properly appre-
ciated by us farmers and the public gene
rally. Trusting my old company will meet
