THE MUTT FAMILY TROUBLE.
A Suggestion of POison-Other Members

UNIoNTowN, Pa, Sept. 19.-The re-
port that the Mutt family had been
poisoned is untrue AS has been stated,
Miss Annie c. Mutt, who threw stones at
her fathers murderer, n. L. Dukes, died
very suddenly on Wednesday night Of
cholera morbus, after an illness Of about
eighteen hours. Grandmother Wells, the
mother of Mrs. Mutt, and Nellie, little
daughter Of Mrs. Mutt, are also i'll, the
latter it is thought fatally. The trouble
was caused by eating unripe pears. The
impression is still general, however, that
the family has been poisoned either by
accident or design. II has been decided
to hold a post mortem examination to day
on Annie's body Mrs. Mutt was at first
averse to this, but finally gave her con
sent. The funeral Of Annies remains
will take place this afternoon. There is
great excitement over the affair.

Sold arniu


One of our very nice citizens was very
badly sold on Thursday evening. Good men
have been sold before and will sympathize
with this latest victim. Strictly yirtuous
himself, any action which had the appearance
of evil he beheld with horror. 1t fell out on
this wise: He had rented suite of rooms
to single gentleman, and while they were
being furnished and fitted a lady friend had
been present much of the time superintend-
ing the same. Late on Wednesday evening
the indignant landlord appealed to the police,
stating that young woman was occupying
The apartments mentioned with this young
gentleman tenant, and he Indignantly pro-
tested against it. Officers Young and Blake
at once proceeded to the spot and
awakening the supposed lothario cate
chised him on the subject of the presence
of q female in his apartments. He admitted
the fact, but justified on the ground of the
lady being his lawful wife. Incredulous, the
officers demanded sight of some docu-
mentsry evidence, when a marriage certifi-
cate, dated at st. Peter, Oct. 30, bearing the
regular official stamp andthardly dry was peo-
duced, when the further celebration of their
nuptials was allowed to proceed. Moral:
Be always armed with your marriage certifi-
cate, for in the hour that We dream not Of,
the policeman cometh.

encamped thereon, maddened and full Of
revengeful thoughts on account of injuries

THE GRAIN RECEIVERS.
Report of the Committee on the Vari-
Gus Grades of Cereals.
[speclaI Telegram TO the Globe. !


: CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-At meeting of the
Grain Receivers association held this after
noon in the room of the board Of trade, the
committee recently appointed to recommend
changes in the names Of grades of grain
made, through its chairman, C. E. Culver, a
report which was substantially as follows:
The committee, after a conference with
the officials of the inspection department, and
careful consideration of the entire cues
ton, concluded to advance that no change
be made in what is known as contract
grades of grain. They advise the striking
out of the word rejected where it occurs in
the rules of inspection as applied to wheat
and substitute therefor the words s'No. 80
also to strike out the word rejected, where
it occurs in the rules that apply to the inspec-
ton OF rye and oats and substitute therefor
the words ''No, 3;'' also to establish new
grades to be called No. 2 and No. yellow
corn to take places respectively of the grades
called high mixed'' and''new high mixed -
to establish grade No. 3 to include corn
now classified as new mixed and the better
class Of which at present is inspected re-
iected; also to establish grade of corn,
which shall include corn of the lower quail
ties that are at present classified as rejected
As to oats the report recommends the estab-
lishment Of two new grades to be called No.
3 white oats.
The committee appointed to confer with
the elevator men, to try and get reduction
in storage rates, reported that they had not
! completed their work and were given further
time. The same committee, through J. VI.
Wanzer, its chairman, recommended that
the Richards system of transferring and
weighing grain was the best in use and had
given satisfaction wherever tried, and moved
that it be adopted By all the railroads, as The
shippers we're favoring it. George Clark
asked 10 be excused from the same commit
tee, and I. s. Francis was appointed in his
| place.

ducive to our interests. This is an estab-
the support he received of
non-union representative papers who
are our foes and the employers of help
that loyal trade-union men cmphatically re-
pudiate. No better illustration exists than
the fact that three thousand union
printers of New York city oppose the Re-
publican candidate on this ground alone,
and what is for their interest surely repre-
sents the interest of all wage-workers. Our
supremacy and reco gnition are Identical
| there is no compromise. The candidacy of
Gen. Benjamin T. Butler, possessing only
the numerical strength Of men ever seeking
their own advancement over the shoulders
of labor, cannot be treated in any other
light but as bold and INSCRIPTIONS bar
gain, engendered by luminosity and notori-
ETY., to defeat the cause of labor by one who
himself is monopolistic in his tendencies.
The candidate in undignified disguise asks
labor to support him at the sacrifice of
throwing away valuable votes, to ADVANCE
the interest of labor This unmitigated
folly, hardly believe, will be sanctioned or
even entertained by honest and intelligent
labor at the ballot box.
woRKMEN WILL NOT THROW THEIR VOTES
AWAY.
Wage workers, as rule, are not prone to
throw away their votes "a franchise sacred
and valuable to them as their only weapon
of defense against monopolistic encroach-
ments. No one will deny that Gen. benjamin
+. Butler and James G. Blaine are rich men;
and none will deuy that Grover Cleveland is,
comparatively speaking, poor man. These
are the candidates presented to us for our
suffrages. The record of each is now well
known. Labor should not be influenced
by partisan hostility or swerved by fanciful
pictured drawn by Il hand who portrays dis
tress and poverty in American homes should
the Democratic candidate succeed. The ami
mus is boldly apparent. 1t is revenge for
the loss OF a valuable appointment that at
least one paper in New York city opposes
Gov. Cleveland and endeavors to stir up
enmity against him among the wage workers
by invading workshops to gather and stimu-
late this antagonism. And the hand that
writes these innuendoes and manifestations
of antagonism among worlngmen is the one
who himself was the keenly disappointed
office seeker. Trusting, and with full know
ledge that intellectual labor will act and cast
| its sufrages on the side of right, the issue is
left to their careful and calm deliberation.
