at the second shot, exclaiming, Don't

before he was disarmed. For the defense
F. G. Wilkinson's testimony showed
Sewell had caused the following anony-
nous letter to be written to Denman
Look out for the preacher who has black
hair, a brown beard and an impeachment
in his speech. If he has not already So
duced your wife he intends to do so.
Judging by what has been seen and heard
by q member Of your flock, if you have
doubts on the subject just conceal yourself
or come in when you are not expected. l
take this method to save you modification
of being told Of this fact to your face.
You will find me ont to be q true friend"

The Moral Effect Of the Strike.
CHICAGO, Aug. Notwithstanding the
| attitude taken by the local assembly OF
telegraphers last night, this morning wit
messed what appeared to be a decided break
in the ranks. Up to noon to exceed 80 had
made personal application to supt. Stubbs
for reinstatement, and 80 had been given
places. Supt. Clowry has reports from
Indianapolis and Cincinnati to the effect
that all opposition from the workmen is
ceasing there, and that full forces will be
on duty tonight. Advices from New York,
Washington and almost all eastern cities
show that the operators are returning to
work.
ssThe other side had more money than
Ne had" That is the reason tersely given
by Campbell for the failure OF the strike.
He says the strike cost the operators about
500, 900 in wages lost and money expend-
ed, and estimates that it cost the Western
Union Company, directly and indirectly
and future losses in business, incidental
expenses and depreciation Of stock . sum
in excess Of what it would have cost 1t to
have paid to its operators the advance
asked for in ten years. The moral effect
has been to show the public that not only
the operators, but the public at large are
at the mercy Of two or three men so far as
the telegraph business is concerned, and 1t
has shown the public the danger OF being
absolutely at the mercy Of Q band of mo-
~nopolists, whose only thoughts are Of their
own private interests. The Western Union
will recover very quickly in its ability to
TRANSACT business, but in his opinion it has
lost to rival lines . large amount OF bust
ness that will never return to 1t.
The Yellow Fever at Pensacola.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-Msjor Nichol-
son In command Of the United States
Marine Corps to-nisht received the follow
ing dispatch from Lieut.. Taylor, COM
handing a detachment Of the marine at
Pensacola Navy Yard: Zone private died
Of yellow fever. Three In hospital; two
doing wsll; one very sick. The command
where II 10 cool and healthy. Too late now
to 20 into encampment. Excitement and
work will perhaps develop new cases. We
are strictly q~uarantined." In addition to
Surgeon Martin, ordered from New Orleans
to Pensacola. the employment OF civilian
physicians has been authorized by the
Navy Department.. 1t Is understood that
the civilian surgeon whose services were
sought refused to accept the engagement
for less time than Al days ct the rate Of
500 per day. The telegraph operator at
the Navy Yard declined to remain longer
at his post unless compensation at the rate
acceded to and II necessary to have assist
ance. DR.. Martin demands that the civil
ian surgeons terms be also acceded to.
Mackay's object Divulged.
New YoRK, Aug. 1S.-The Worlds Sara
toga special says Mackay was induced to
go into the Postal Telegraph Company by
reason Of his feud with d. O. Mills. When
he learned that Mills was going to stand
firmly by the Western Union, be deter
mined to take up the Postal Telegraph
cause. Jim Keene was the principal nego-
tiator Of the business. A close friend OF
Mackay's here says he (Msckay) does not
intend sticking to the telegraph business.
His plan ia to build lines competing at all
points with the Western Union, then offer
them to the Government ct Q fair profit.
