not even excepting tho press. Last Sat-
urday, typographical union No.l0. think
ing That the assembly had gone out Of
their Jurisdiction Is the union had re-
ported no grievance, passed resolutions
and directed their servants, the delegates,
to present them to the assembly on last
Sunday. The assembly would not hear
them, as they recognized that the meet
ing held last week was illegal and re-
cinded all action taken then as done by
an irregular body. They had gone one
step too far on heinpulse ofthe moment
without even looking into matters. The
arbitration committee was directed to-
wait upon Mr.. Dupont, which meeting
will take place on Tuesday, and in case
that an understanding cannot be reached
boycott of the Coal and Iron company's
coal will be carried on to the fullest ex-
tent.
The convict labor is now reaching into
the very printing offices The Courier
Journal, of this city, received the state
printing last winter as the lowest bidder,
and in order to do the work it neces-
STATED having an Office in Frankfort, the
capital. To save the price of new frames
for the type cases, the work was done by
the convicts at the penientiary. The
price of composition set by the Louis
vile union is 40 cents per 1000 ems, but
the Courier-J Journal, thinking to have its
own way, set the price up there at 80
,ents. These outrages of this paper,
which we only whipped into the union
IN the fourth of last July, are little too
much. This is, it is true, the work Of

CINCINNATI, August 2S.-Business con-
tinues very dull in this city and vicinity,
with better prospects in most trades for
the early fall. Interest is centered here
in the lockout of the eigarmakers and
molders, as the workers in these trades
have been without work for many
months. 1t was stated in last weeks re-
port that the Board of Trade would
make an effort to adjust the difficulties
in the above trades, and the attempt was
made by. the inviting of representatives
from the manufacturers combination and
the unions In both trades. The cigar
manufacturers refused to have anything
to do with the proposition of the board,
but the workmen in that trade were
represented. The journeymen molders
were also represented, as were the stone
manufacturers, the result of which was
proposition from Redway & Burton to
start their foundry Immediately with q
union force at reduction of twenty per
cent, which prices they would agree to
pay for two years, unless an advance was
paid in Albany and Troy, N. Y, when
they would pay like advance. The
journeymen molders present had no au-
thorlty to accept anything of the kind,
and so stated to the Board, manifesting
at the same tune individual opposition
to the proposition, inasmuch, as its accep-
tance would reduce those now at work at
the old scale Of oflprices, The result Of
the conference cannot be foretold,

WASHINGTON. August 2S. Washington
is not an industrial circle, and but little
transpires that is worth recording in en-
tirely labor journals. In the winter 1
hope faithful record of congressional ac-
tion, or want OF action, will make my re-
port more interesting. A new, boycott
has been ordered the past week, and by
SO conservative body as the Carpenters
and Joiners, who certainly haye the rep
utation of bearing long and patiently
before falling back upon that dernier
resort, the boycott. The object of labor's
anger in this case is Frank K. Ward, the
most enterprising man who ever sold a
quart of milk in Washington. He runs
large business here, and when con-
templatlng the large building he is now
erecting, he is said to have promised to.
employ only union workmen; which,
however, he Is reported to have failed to
do. He has been very successful in busi-
ness, is ostentatiously lavish in his ex-
penditure of money, and the last man l
would have suspected of denying honest
labor honest pay. He willno add to
his store of knowledge the realization of
the fact that cheap labor comes very
dear sometimes.

THE GUDGEON SEASON.
Streams SwaTming with the Fishing:
How to Catch, Cook and Eat Them.

Streams SwaTming with the Fishlings-
How to Catch, Cook and Eat Them.
The succulent little gudgeons, says the
Baltimore San, are now running up into
the rivers and creeks of Maryland in great
numbers, Fastening to spawn above tide
water. There have been large catches at
the Relay and at Stemmer's run. There
are also other places in private waters
where baskets have been garnered from
comparatively small streams. A few
days ago Mr.. Marshall Thomas caught 78
dozen, and on Thursday he accumulated
40 dozen. These are the largest catches
recorded as yet, although hundred dozen
10 the largest catch ON record. Several
fishermen have hauled in this number in
a single day, but it does not occur once in
five seasons. This year the clever little
minnoWs are particularly numerous and
fat. They came up the streams with the
warm weather, and have been quite amia-
BILE and accommodating toward the fisher
men.
The gudgeOns caught here at this season
must not be COMPOUNDED with the smelt
which is ensnared in the purse nets Of the
Newfoundland fishermen. He is peculiar
to these waters just as the canYas-back is
peculiar to the Chesapeake. They are
both of them killed or caught elsewhere,
but the canYas-back of the Northern lakes
is no more like the juicy bird of the Chesa-
peake in flavor than the sturgeon roe is
like anchOVy paste. Soft is with the gud-
geon. Like the rail, he is a mysterious
little fellow. No one knows anything
about him until he comes here, and when
he does come he brings his whole family,
probably from some deep sea haunts in
Northern waters.
The apparatus necessary to ensnare him
is simple. A 25-cent rod, 1C-cent line, a
half-dOzen tiny hooks, a cork and box of
maggots or ''hunkies" for bait is all that
is necessary. The ordinary earth worm is
also good to use on a sunny day. 1t is
brown, while the "hunkie' is white and
shows better when the weather is murky
or the water muddy. Fish always with
two hooks, kept apart by a light brass
spreader, and put a No. shot on the line
for sinker in running water. If the
gudgeons are biting-and they Away APP
pear more raVenous i'll the afernOOn-yOu
will haul them out as fast as you can
throw in.
GudgeOns are eaten by true epicures
just as shrimp are. They are fried by the
dozen in hot butter, with just a little
batter, and then dried like Saratoga chips.
He who knows the flavor of the dear little
fishlings will then pick them up by their
crisp little tails, dip their delicious little
heads in some salt, and-ereuRt gudgeon.

General HancOck's Romance.

was talking politics with a Senator
from the West this week, and, on laen-
tioning General HancOck's name, he told
me story of the gallant General that is
romantic enough to repeat. Soon after his
graduation from West Point, when but a
little past his majority, he started for the
West, in company with a number of army
men, to see the country. They stopped at
st. Louis, and while there General Han
cock met his future wife. He was taking
one of his customary morning rides on
horseback in the most fashionable part OF
/ the city when he caught sight of hand
some young lady standing at window.
His heart was touched at Once-and for
the first time-and, without a thought of
the improperly of his action, invOluntar-
lily he refined his charger and took off his
hat. The fair vision at the window waved
a shapely white hand, blushed and drew
the curtain. This only increased the
Young mans disease, and when he re-
turned to his hotel his Observation-Disclosures
and evident abstraction provoked COM
ment on the part of his friends. Try as he
would, the beautiful face at the window
haunted him still, and he yielded to an
irresistible impulse to return to the house
where his fate resided, in hope of getting
another wave of the hand or a smile of
encouragement to loves young dream.
AS LUCK WOulu nave lts lUIbuuC ouullCu vi
the young man, and the lady was just
leaving the house, accompanied by tall
and elderly gentleman, as he reached
there. She recognized him at once, and
rosy bushes suffused her face as she
entered a carriage in waiting and was
driven rapidly away. Young Hancock
was now more eager than ever, and, hail
ing passing cab, directed the driver to
follow the carriage containing the beauti-
full unknown. Finally, her carriage
stopped, and she entered the house of an
old army friend of the ardent lover, who
followed close after and was admitted by
the friend in person. To him the smitten
youth unbosomed himself, and an intro
ton followed to Miss Mary Russell, a
daughter of one of st. Louis wealthiest
merchants. The young lady seemed to
have been struck by the same dart that
pierced her lovers heart, and cordial
Invitation to call was extended to him. l
need say no more. The rest of the story is
simply the oft-told tale, for in six months
Miss Mary Russell became Mrs. Winfield
Scott Hancock, and she is held in the
warmest esteem by all those who know
her many charming and womanly quail
ties. This is but one of many romantic
tales that one hears here nearly every
day, and their recital is one of the pleas
ATTEST features of Washington life.

TATToOING A WOMAN.
The Extraordinary Pain undergone by
an Aspirant for Fame as a Curiosity.

The Extraordinary Pain undergone by
an Aspirant for Fame as Curiosity.
In about two weeks, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer, the assembly oftattooed beauties
will be increased by one who is really the
handsomest woman who has yet under
gone the painful operation OF being tat
tOOed. Last evening a reporter met her
at her room in the Washington Park
Hotel, ON Twelfth street. Her husband
was there. ''Miss Aimee" has no hesita-
ton in saying that, had she known of the
agony which attended such an undertake
ing, she would not now have been so near
a completed animated panorama. The
professor is a cute one. When he began
he did his first work on her wrists, and
thus gave her an insight Of the pain
she would be obliged to endure. With her
wrists encircled by bracelets which only
death can efface, there was no withdraw
ing from the contract, and she had borne
the suffering ever since. From two to
three hours a day was the time which the
professor occupied in his work, and often
when his task ended she has been so eX-
hausted that her husband had to carry her
about. Upon Aimee's body are many new
fgures-designs of her own conception.
The pictures are not crowded together,
but are generally clear and distinct. A
necklace and locket decorate her throat.
Her shoulder pieces are bright red roses,
with the stems in the hands Of winged GU
pids. On her right breast is an aerial fig
urea mythical maiden soaring above
things earthly. Above her knee is a pref
tv picture of a sailor and his sweetheart.
He is kissing his love goodbye. The viii
lage he is leaving is shown On one side,
and the ship on which he sails on the 9TH
er. Above the knee is a tomb, on either
side of which is a woman. This is just
outlined, and is not yet completed. Aimee
Will make professional debuthere very
soon.

RETURNED HOME.
Mr.. Whitney's Runaway Daughter
Leaves her Husband


Leaves her Husband.
This morning at IL o'clock, says a To-
ledo, o., special of the 9th inst. to the
Chicago Times, Manager Whitney, of De-
troit, returned home, accompanied by his
recreant daughter. Late last night the
police discovered that Neville, the English
coachman, who had eloped with and mar
ried Miss Whitney, was secreted with his
wife at a hotel in East Toledo, across the
river. The pair were brought to the sta
ton house and Whitney notified. He
arrived shortly after midnight, and an
affecting interview with his daugh-
ter followed. For a long time she ahso-
lutely refused TO leave Neville, and it
was not until after O'Clock this morning
that she consented to go with her father
to his hotel. Neville denies that he is
married to the woman in Toledo with
whom he lived, and says that the woman
dare not make oath to it. Whitney, this
| morning, swore out a warrant against
Neville, charging him with bigamy, and
he was placed behind the bars. 1t is az
ranged between father and daughter that
she is to return home and await the re-
suit of Neville's trial for bigamy, and if
he can clear himself of the charge then he
is to be allowed the company of his wife.
| The Englishman wrote to Whitney to De-
trOit announcing the fact. The letter was
not received till Sunday. The impression
here is that if Neville is a bigamist he was
singularly Indifferent about cOncealing
his identity and whereabouts.
