The Dissatisfied Workmen.

The laborers employed by Patrick Dig
nan, the sub.contractor for Andrews 81
Locke, refused to work yesterday, giving as
their reason that they had been given to un.
derstand that their demand of an increase
of from Sl25 to 81 so, made last week, had
not been granted, aud that when they were
paid off on Saturday they were paid at the
rate of $l.25. They held out throughout
the day, the only work being done by the
Dignans themselves, who were engaged in
constructing benches or terraces to hold the
tremendous weight of earth that will form
the embankment at the north end of the
Brandywine bridge. The contractor is
making arrangements for other men, who,
1t is said, will work at less rate than was
paid the strikers. The difficulty between
McCafferty, Mallory & Comfy, contractors
OF section 30, and their men, yesterday, was
speedily arranged, and the men who struck
resumed work.

A CREDITABLE VICTORY
THE oUIcKsTEPs SETTLED
DOWN TO SOLID WORK.
BALTIMORE BEATEN BY 4 TO 1.
With But One Fielding ErrOr-A Con-
test That shows What They Can Do.

The slim audience at Quickstep Park, yes
terday afternoon, to witness the Quickstep-
Baltimore contest, showed that the success
sion of defeats recently sustained by the
home club are making the public lukewarm,
but there is no doubt that the lovers of the
game who remained away are ready to kick
themselves for their folly, as they thereby
missed the best ball contest ever seen in
this city.
For once in the history of their existence
the Quicksteps settled down to good playing
and was backed by 0eary, late
of the Hsrrisburgs, who caught ior him
In Reading last summer. Geary played
splendidly, without an error, while Pyie's
delivery was so effective that six of the
Baltimores went out on strikes. For seven
innings the visitor were retired In one two
three order, and during this time but three
men reached first case, two of whom were
cleverly thrown out by Geary when they
tried to steal second, and the other was put
out Oh force hit by neat double play.
In the eighth INNING the visitors earned
their solitary run on q two baser by Say,
and after the next two strikers were retired,
a single by Mccormick. The latter, how
ever, was caught while sneaking away from
the first base.
When the Baltimores went to the bat for
their ninth inning intense excitement pre-
vailed. The score was four to one against
them, and they were determined to make it
tie. Nagle came first and went out on a
fy to Snyder, but "old /. an" Eggler made
his base on clean hit. Kelly followed
with fly to short left field, and in the
attempt to capture 1t the only error on the
part of the home club was made. Waitt
ran for 1t, but held off when he saw that
both Albert and Fox were in good shape to
take care of it. These two, however, came
together, and the ball dropped out of
Albert's hands, giving Kelly his base, while
Eggler trotted to second. Clinton, the
"slugger," then came to the bat, and
there was mortal dread among the audience
lest he should clear the bases, make home
run, and thus tie the score. He made
wicked lunge and the ball went whistling
along the ground, towards second base,
Smiley sprang for it, picked it up in the
neatest manner possible, touched his base,
thus putting out Kelly, who was forced
from first, and then sent the ball to Snyder,
in time to put out tie batter and retire the
side. 1t was brilliant play. and ended the
game with splendid victory for the Quick
steps.
In addition to their superb fielding the
home club did good work at the bat, making
lucky, while Smiley, Benners, Waltz
Albert, Snyder and Geary also made
good hits. The outfielders took several fly
balls in handsome style, while the work OF
the in field was almost perfect. The Balti-
mores made i've base hits, with a total of

AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS IN 1885,
From the new edition of Messrs. Geo.
p. Rowell & Co.'s american Ne,cspa.
per Directory, which is now in press,
it appears that the newspapers and
periodicals of all kinds issued in the
United States and Territories now
reach the imposing total oil 1916.
This is an increase of 5S5 in twelve
months. Taking the States one by
one, the newspaper growth in some is
very considerable. The present total
in New York State, for instance, is
/ ,399-a gain of 80 in the past year.
The increase in Pennsylvania is As,
the existing number being 943. Ne
braska's total grew from l75 to 2U1,
and Illinois, from 800 to 904. A year
ago Massachusetts had APO papers !:
now the number is 438. In Texas
the new papers outnumbercd the sus-
pensions by s, and Ohio now has 1873
papers instead Of G02. The most re-
markable change has occurred in the
Territories, in which the daily papers
have grown from 43 to G3, and the
weeklies from 1863 to 243-Dakota be-
ing the chief area of activity. The
number of monthlies throughout the
country grew from 976 to l,o34, while
the dailies leaped from O96 to l,O62.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, d. c., March "a,

Many Congressman still linger in
the lap of Washington. Besides those
who have gone off on pleasure trips to
return again, there are fifty or more to
be seen on our streets, about the de-
partments, and in various haunts over
the city. Numbers of them do not
expect to leave for several weeks to
come. In fact, Washington soon gets
to be more the home of many Con-
gressmen, who bring their families and
live here, than the districts they repre-
sent. This is especially true of some
who are reelected term after term.
Mr.. Sabln, the newly-elected senator
from Minnesota was about here some
weeks. He looks like John A. Logan.
1t is said that syndicate of senators
here next session will adopt style of
living ike the ARABIAN Nights En-
tertalnments, and Mr.. Sabin is one
OF them. This will be an agreeable
change tor him from the $1,000 clerk
ship which he enjoyed here in 1868.
AS for the figure they will cut in the
United States senate they probably will
not trouble themselves about that. Mr..
Tabor says that he got off cheap dur
ing his brief senatorial term, he only
spent $4,000 in thirty days. Senator
Fair, the Nevada millionaire, has
rich Irish tongue that would do honor
to st. Patrick himself.
General Sherman, whose service at
the head of the army will shortly be at
an end, by reason of his retirement,
proposes to make his last official trip to
the frontier this season. He is going
late in the spring or early in the sum-
mer, and will be back in time to at
tend the notable army meeting here in
October.
Lawrence Barrett, the tragedian,
who spent week here recently, has
been saying some pleasant things about
the capitol over in New York. "Wash-
ington," said he, lis admirably adapt
ed for the homes of people of refine
ment, culture and leisure, and society
there has cosmopolitan characteristics
already. I have bought property there,
and expect it to pay as an investment;
but man may safely set up his house
hold gods in Washington in the assur.
ance that he will never regret the
choice"

The statement is correct, though few
people realize how much land that is.
II is as far beyond human comprehen-
sion as the statement of an astronomer
that star is 1l,000,O00,000 miles
distant. But to get some idea of the
immensely of this territory, let the
reader remember that the state of
Maryland, for instance, would 60. into

Mrs. Ernestine Meaker, who is to
be hung the 30th inst, wrote a letter
to her husband, requesting him to
come and see her and bring her daugh-
ter, Nellie. She said she wanted to
see them once more before she was to
be murdered, and to take her body to
Barre for burial. She said the officers
Of the Government and her son Almon
would repent on their dying beds for
causing her to be so cruelty murdered
for what she was entirely innocent Of.

A rule forbidding the drinking of
liquor by the employees of a Canada
railway has just been adopted. Such
a rule is always in order, but the
records of railroad accidents in the
United States do not show that drink
has been the Cause of very many of
them. Stupidity, carelessness, diso-
bedience, the fatigue of over-workcd
hands, and the intrusting of men will
ing to take laborer's wages with work
requiring intelligence and sense of
responsibility not likely to be had for
the money, have been at the bottom of
the majority of the most notable mis-
haps.

u The tariff modification does not
seem to suit the masses who desire
progress and prosperity. The signii-
cant review of it given by Hon. Abram
s. Hewitt of New York to reporter
should not be lost. Mr.. Hewitt said {:
II find that the conference committee
made no reduction in any case where
reduction would decrease the price to
consumers or cheaper the article. l
think the passage of this bill makes the
fundamental issue between revenue re-
form and unprotective so clear that the
organization of the next House will be
determined by it and by it alone. do
not think any man can or ought to be
elected speaker of the next House who
advocated ard veted for this conference
tariff. The organization of the next
House must be in the hands of the rev.
enue reformers if the Democratic party
is in earnest in this business, and if it
is not in earnest it had better dissolve
in the same general chaos which has
overtaken the Republican party. So
far from anything being settled by this
new law, it is in my judgment the de-
grading of the real and solid revenue
reform demanded by the people of this
country"
