The MOuIdcrS Strike.

The strike of the moulders at the
foundry of Messrs. Bibb & Son at Port
Deposit in this county still continues,
and the firm have employed non-union
workmen. Some trouble was experienced
at first in securing accommodations for
the non union men but that has been OBJ
waited. Moulders were sent to the shops,
but they did not remain. Others went
along with member of the firm, but
the hotels and boarding houses could not
keep them for various alleged reasons. :"
The firm says: The truth of the mat
ter is boycotting was threatened against
any one who should sell food or give
shelter to non-union workmen.' The
firm have rented two houses in the town
and equipped them for keeping the men
they shall employ from various points in
the country, and propose to see that they
are not interlcred with. The moulders
on strike are nearly twenty five. The
strike throws out of employment the
whole force employed about the place,
who, with their dependents, mum Der $50
souls.
The foundry Of the Messrs. Bibb &
Son is the largest in this county. Their
salesroolns are located on Light street,
Baltimore. They are tho patentees and
makers of the celebrated Baltimore fire
place heaters, as well as many other
styles of heating and cook stoves.

first steamboat was launched, and of
course everybody thought it a wonderful
thing. Many years ago Charlestown, not
far from North East, was place of i'm
portanee. The mail was carried from
there to Rising sun, and the carrier

he delivered at the latter place. Then
hardly one family in ten would get II
newspaper, and to receive letter was
considered a big event. Each spling and
fall fair was held at Charlestown Peo-
pie from all parts of the country would
flock to it and buy hats, bonnets, rib
bons, shawls and other things. When
was girl we used to mix cornmeal and
spread it on board, which was placed
before the big open fireplace, and let it
bake. This we called johnny cake. In
the winter evenings we did not sit down
and wait for beaX to come and take us
sleighing, as the girls do nowadays.
We placed three large spinning wheels
in a row. and we would sit and spin by
the light of pine knots. When the beaux
came we would get up and give them
chairs, and know more than one chap

stairs to rig it up and show the young
folks how we made linen in my girlhood

A Serious Accident,

On last Monday morning at about eight
O'Clock, while William Penney, a work
man upon the B. & O. railroad, was
crossing the abutment of viaduct in
course of construction about mile north
of the town of North East, in this county,
he made a misstcp and fell toward pitch
ing down distance of about seventy
feet, and striking upon a mass of irou
and stone beneath. That he was not
killed outright is the greatest of Won
ders. Everyone who saw the accident
supposed without doubt his brains were
dashed out and every bone in his body
broken. This, however, was not the
case. When he was taken up he was
alive, but both of his legs and arms were
broken. Whether or not he suffered in-
ternal injuries was not known at last ac-
counts.

Arbitration Case Concluded.

4 question in dispute between John Z.
jackson of this county; and the Il. & o.
railroad company, which had been re-
ferred to Messrs. +. 5. Everist and w. T.
Miller as arbtrators for settlement, was
concluded on Wednesday last, by very
liberal decision in favor of Mr.. jackson.
The company for the construction of its
new Philadelphia line bought the right
of way through the lands of Mr.. jackson.
To secure grade just there Il deep cnt
was necessary. This cut passed between
the dwelling house and spring of water
from which Mr. jackson received his
supply by means of pipe and the cut
going below the vein which fed the
spring it was drained thereby. The COM
pany constructed another spring and
connected it by pipes with the dwelling
securing fair supply Of water, but its
quality was inferior to that of the old
spring and Mr.. Jackson was very natur-
ally dissatisfied with it. The matter was
then referred to arbitrators who heard
the testimony in the case, Squire A. J.
Scott administering the oaths to the wit
nesses and on Wednesday last arrived at
a conclusion, awaIding Mr.. Jackson $500
damages and requiring the railroad COM
pany also to provide him with an ample
supply of good water. This decision is
final

them when they were first confronted

Sheriff Smith After Fugatiyes.

On Wednesday, Sept. Sd last, Sheriff
Smith, of this town, received from Supt.
Of Police George w. Walling, of New
FORK city, the dying statement of Car
mlno Labriola, an Italian laborer who
had been employed on the new b. & o..
Philadelphia extension near Perryville,
i'll this county, setting forth the facts,
that on the night of August Goth he had
been coaxed from the sleeping shanty
where he lodged by "a companion, Felix
Ranzo, and when he got him some dist
ance away in the woods, he (Ranzo) and
two accomplices, Gussipi Sandora and
Michael Landora, assaulted him, beating
him up badly, stripping him of his cloth
ing and robbing him of $40 in money.
He laid insensible in the woods until the
next morning, when he was discovered
and taken to the shanty, and on the fol-
lowing Sunday removed to his home at
No. IS Mulberry street, New York city,
where he afterwards recovered The
three men were arrested and lodjed in
jail to await the action of the grand Jury
\ term of court passed and no charges
being made against them, they were
given their liberty. AT the time of the
last session of the court for this county,
Carmino Labriola put in an appearance
here, and went before the grand jury and
testified against his assailants, and that
body found true bill of indictment
against them. But, 10 . when the ques-
ton Of bringing them to trial was broach-
Ell they were found to be honest. La
briola was and is extremely anxious to
prosecute his assailants, and ne has been
untiring in his efforts to track them
down. 1t was at last discovered that the
men ale in New York, and Sheriff Smith
left on Tuesday last for Albany with a
requisition from the governor OF Mary

The New York Clothing House,

There is no city in this country in which
there is sharper competition in the clothing
trade than in Baltimore. Low prices, lib
eral advertising, and every means that in
genulty could suggest, have been resorted
to to attract customers. But after all, the
leading houses of that city, like those every
whers else, have discovered that the merit
OF the article sold has more to do with BUSH
ness success than all other means combined
Recognizing this fact, the principle upon
which the proprietors of the New York
Clothing House do business is to guarantee
the ytul ralue of every article sold By them.
Seeing this, the public has in turn recog-
nized this principle as mutual between
buyer and seller. When, therefore, You
buy anything there, whether of the highest
or lowest prade of clothing, you can conf
IDENTIFY rely upon the article being worth
what you pay for it. Besides this, the rep
reseutatives of the house are obIiging gen
tlemen, aud we recommend them to cur
readers, basing the endorsement upon our
personal acquaintance with them.

fighters, and weigh 49, pounds each.
Seven desperate rounds were fought. In
the first Mccullough cut O'Donnell's
eye, and III return received blow that
broke his nose. Daring the next four
rounds both men were punished in a ter
rible manner In the seventh round

Mr.. Ways collection of pictures and
other fine works Of art at Mr.. David

the premises deserted by the time they

Bendann and brought him to the scene
with his door-key. The young ladies
