New YORK, Oct. Sl.-The officers Of Ty.
biographical Union No, 0 to-day aigued an
agreement with the New York Tribune,
Withdrawing all charges Of bsd faith and
broken contracts, suspending their boy.
cotting, and pIedging themselves to advise
all labor organizations and request from
them similar action. This is the result
Of an adjustment whichthese officers have
reached, on the basis first agreed upon
with the Tribune during the height
Of the Blaine campaign, in Septem-
Der, 1881, but Riterward rejected
by the Typographical Union themselves.
The Tribuae remains out Of the Union,
as it has for nine years past, works under
it's own rules and regulations, with its old
foreman, and makes absolutely no change
among it's employees, most OF whom have
been non-union men for many years and
intend 10 remain so. 1t agrees to continue
paying its present wages to its weekly
hands, which are in nearly all cases above
the Union scale. and to advance the rate
Of iece composition 10 iorty-six cents per
thousand. This Is the price named in the
memorandum to which it agreed last year,
but which the Union afterward rejected.
In q speech TO his men this afternoon
announcing the agreement, Whitelaw
Reid thanked them for their conduct to
their employers during the long struggle,
and said that in consideration OF their
splendid loyalty he should do more than
the Union asked or be had agreed to do
year ago. He, therefore, advanced the
price Tor piece composition above the
Union seals to forty-seven cents per thou
sand.
Over one.half Of the 7f1June's printers
are Democrats, politics not being allowed
to interfere with its relations TO its EN-.
pIoyes. 1t Is said the Typographical Union
q general movement among
the other newspapers for reduction to
forty cents per thousand, and that this
wRs their reason for accepting terms they |
rejected year ago, and being willing now
to adjust their difficulties with the 4ri-

ZAYEsvILLE, o., Oct. 3l.-In the Circuit
Court at Woodsfield, Guernsey county
David Conger, who was convicted Of muir
der in tho second degree for the killing oi
his wife in June last, was sentenced yes
terday to the penitentiary for life. The
murder was most brutal one, he killing
his young wife with an axe because she
intetfered in behalf Of their six.year-old
son, whom he was beating cruelty. Con-
ger made no great effort to escape, and
was arrested soon after. From the nc
ment OF his incarceration until the last
words that dropped from the Judges lips
which sealei his doom, the miserable
man had not spoken word, or made an
audible noise with his tongue.
Feiguing insanity. he played the deaf
and dumb act successfully for more than
four months. All efforts OF the officers TO
make him speak were without effect, even
a severe shock from an electric battery,
which was applied in hope Of ioosening
his tongue, only causing him to squlrin
with pain. Throughout the trial he has
been immovable, and when sentence was
about to be pronounced the officers had to
lift him to his feet. The last words oI the
ninety mine years sentence had hardly
echoed through the court room, how
ever, when the mysterious criminal who
had 20 long remained spparently dumb,
yelled out an avalanche Of Oaths at tho
court, and turning to the crowd, said: "a
have got more sand and backbone than
any OF you, ard il you can stand Il, can
too." lie was quickly hurried from the
court room and landed in his cell, but

a screaming voice on all mankind.

Republican Prospects In tho Empire State
and Old Dominion Good.

Republican Prospects, In tho Empire state
aud Old Dominion Good.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l.-A special die
patch from Albany, n. y, 10 the Star,
says that There can be no question that
election day will find the Republicans
with the advantage OF the boom OF the
closing days OF the campaign on their side,
early in the week Hill stock stood
high, and for the last two days it has been
falling. One reason for the increased Re-
publican hopes is that their ei!ortsto raise
money have been more successful during
the past few days than fortnight ago. It
now seems extremely probable that out
side OF New York and Kings county Daven-
port will have majority of nearly $4,000.
Hill is conceded from 1000 to 5000 in
Kings county, and the election hinges on
his majority in New York City.
cleveland had 43, 1000 in New York last
year. II Hill gets this figure, he will
probably Just pull through. II he falls be-
| low 1t, his defeat seems inevitable. His
friends claim more than $1,000 in New
York, while the Republicans insist that
he will not get $1,000. The most conser-
yative men Of either party do not expect
to see the majority exceed 5000 or 5000
either way.
ut seems probable that Carr, Republi'
can, will be elected Lieutenant Governor.
The Efforts Of his friends to run him
ahead have apparently damaged the rest
Of the ticket. The election Of 0'Brien,
Democratic candidate, for Attorney Cen
eral, seems probable, as the liquor men
are united against Thompson, the Repub.
lican candidate. The Republicans will
undoubtedly carry the State Senate, which
participates in Warner Miller's successor
in 1887.
"They have fifteen sure districts, and
nine districts are surely Democratic. The
remaining eight districts arc contested,
with the chances strongly favorable to the
Republicans in five. 1t is probable that
nineteen Republican Senators will be
elected, and ten Of these are against the
reelection OF Senator Miller. The Repub'
licaus will carry the Assembly"
The same paper has a dispatch from
Richmond, stating that certain Southern
communities have aided financially their
Democratic brethren OF Virginia. Contri-
buttons have come from many persons in
the Southern States, and in some OF the
cities, particularly Charleston, organized
efforts have been made TO raise money. :
1t Ia Governor Cameron's opinion that
Wise, as the situation now is, has much
the greater probability OF winning, and
would have, he thought, q majority Of si1
or seven thousand. lie and his friends
ara supporting tho whole ticket.
