An object Lesson In Pluck


Sam Jones, the revival orator Of the South,
is continually adding to his quaint and racy
displays OF eloquence. He talked to a con
vention in Atlanta the other day in this style
You don't want TO have fuss. Laughter. ]
Well, I'll tell you, every good man breads a
fuss, but he don't fear anything that walks
on the earth. [Cheers. The church lays
back on the idea that it must have peace.
Old Joshua went out one day and fought all
day long. He was cFowding the enemy,
when he looked up and saw the sun going
down. He said Lord, il you will just
give me three or four more a "rs of sun
shine, I'll clean these fellows of the face of
the earth" And the Lord just made that old
sun rack back on the dial, and Joshua won a
victory, the fame Of which has lasted until
this day. IGreat cheering God dospiaea

a cannon doing my duty than to run away from
il because was afraid God intrusts all the
noble causes on the earth to men who are
game. Cheers.
Mr.. Jones evidently accepts the unrevised
version of the scriptures and he points his
moral with Joshua in a strictly LITERAL II not
somewh hat irreverent, manner. His lesson ID
a good one, all the same, and his concluding
sentence states a great truth in manner
sententiously effective. We should have thii
new product of the South on our side o

No event in the last 20 years has created so
profound and widespread an interest among
yaehtsmen, steamboatmen, andshipping mer-
chants as the performance one day last week
of the little steam yacht Stiletto in beating
the steamer Mary Powell on the Hudson river,
heretofore held TO be the fastest river boat
ahoat. Since that event, whenever the little
boat has appeared she has been greeted with
chorus of steam whistles, and has excited
the most eager curiosity. The Stiletto was
built by the Herrsshoff Manufacturing Com
pany of Bristol, II. l. John B. Herreshoh
says that the hull OF the Stiletto is the pro-
duct OF series of experiments made with
models in the same manner as was followed
by FrOude, the English ship builder, and OF
the improvements suggested by tests OF the
numerous steamers previously built by the
Herreshof company. Her length over all is
"a feet beam, IL feet depth of hold in the
centre, AZ feet Below the water line both
ends OF the craft are very nearly alike, being
modelled so as to present the smallest possible
surface exposed to the water. In speaking
of her, her designer, who is said to be blind,
said: "We have made as much as 25 miles
an hour with the Stiletto, and she can proba
bly, make As much IA 27 miles. We did no
urge her 10 the utmost when we passed the
Powell because there was no necessity. Gov
| Tilden, who made trip on her in the harbor
asked me il it would be possible to build al
ocean steamship on the same model as tn
Stiletto, with adequate engines OF the sam
character, that would be capable OF attaining
the same speed. 1t certainly would, and suol
a boat would probably attain even greate
speed because of her superior size and power.
"Would she have an equal carrying eapac
ity with the existing ocean steamship
"Oh, yes She would have an equal, II no
a greater, carrying capacity. IN. y. Time

"FRITZ" EMMET'S LITTLE ROW.
He Drives His Wife and Son Out of Their
Home in Their Night Clothes.

ALBANY, N. Y, March 12.-"Fritz" Emmett
was last evening prisoner in the Second pre-
cinct station-house. At $50 Chief Willard re-
ceived telephone request that policemen be
sent to Emmet's house on the boulevard De-
tectives Dwyer Hagen and Robinson we're de-
tailed Shortly afterwards Captain Davidson
met Emmett: who was just leaving his carriage
at the corner of South Pearl and Howard streets,
his face covered with blood. The Captain re-
quested him to step across to see the chief. He
refused, but was finally brought into the pres
ence of the executive officer. Emmett said that
mis- wife'told him Joe" had wife in the city.
He went to his sons room and asked if the re-
port was correct He was told to get out and
was struck twice on the head with
a sungshot. He returned to his
own room for a revolver. and
He stated that he had given his son $15, 900 q
year to spend and had done all in his power to
make him happy. Mrs Emmett not appearing
at headquarters as agreed upon, the chief and
Detective Nolan left for the house, but met the
lady on her way to the city, being driven by her
at o'clock and at 9 her husband entered the
apartment and grabbed the boy by the throat,
choking him severely. The sun struck him over
the head with boot and then ran from the
house, followed by his father. The boy, who
was in his night-clothes. took refuge with the
family of MIR. Banker, quarter of mile away.
Mrs. Emmett, also in her night-dress, ran to the
adjoining residence of Mrs. Cleveland and tele-
phoned for help. DR.. Coe was called, but En-
met refused to allow his wound to be dressed
and was locked up. His wife promised to APP
pear at o'clock in the morning.
AS the wife left the station-house, Fritz
shouted, ''stick to your reprobate son. We will
now live apart forever

Section Men Join the Strikers.

ST.. LOUIS, March 12-The strikers at Han
uibal, Mo-, have been joined by the section men
and some wood-workers, and their total number
is now about seventy five. No freight trains are
allowed to move on the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas road, but passenger trains are undis-
turbed. General business is suffering, but a
good deal Of discomfort is becoming manifest
among laborers in the lumber yards, who had
their wages reduced lately.
United States Marshal Couzins reached Han
nibal this morning with a strong force of depu-
ties to protect the Wabash railroad property
Trainmaster Richie also arrived, to move
about one hundred loaded freight cars held by
the strikers. These were met by the strikers,
who refused to let engines 60 to the Missouri
Kansas 81 Texas yards for the cars. Two lead
ers were arrested. Locomotives were then per
mitted to pass, but the engineers refused to run
their engines without the permission of the
strikers. Policeman Ledford, who is about half
an engineer. then boarded one of the locomo-
tives, ran to the yards and got out one train,
which started east this afternoon. The regular
engineers finally concluded to run their engines
and the work progressed The strikers are very
indignant at Policeman Ledford.

How Manning Studied Finance.


The reason that the mugwump papers did not
show greater enthusiasm over the appointment
of Dan Manning as the leading member of the
Cabinet in an administration which proposes,
first and above all, to give US ''honest govern
ment." may possibly be found in the following
testimony of Boss Tweed, given some years ago,
relative to his enriching intimacy with the pres
ent reform Secretary Of the Treasury:
20. State more particularly your relations
with the Argus. A. The Argus was Demo
cratic journal; a man named Manning was re.
porter for it; my relations with him became very
intimate and friendly; sometimes they desired
an appropriation put in the tax levy; all appro-
priations originated in the lower house, and
while the Democracy were in power l had control
of the ways and means, where action in the
matter emauated; when the Republicans were in
power, / generally had control of it also.
20. In what way did you control the COM
mitteel A. Manning would hand me an item
he wanted put in the tax levy. | would hand it
to the chairman and tell him wanted thatdone
The reason Manning came to me was that other
wise he would have to pay for having the item
put in, but secured its insertion without any
expense to them; by that means got their sup.
port. was always ready to oblige them.
90. This Democratic journa. supported you
and was paid for it in this ways A. That was
the understanding.
90. Did any of your ring write editorials In
that paperf A. No, sir. Manning would bring
me articles sometimes that had been written;
tn1nk he WOulO nave put IN Whatever desired.
l never tried because it was never necessary.
If it had been necessary would have exercised
the power.
20. Can you give me any idea of the amount
that was put into the tax levy during your time
on behalf Of the Albany August A. l couldn't
but if l could l wouldn't dare to; it would be
frghtful in amount"
Boss Tweed declined to say how much the
Argus, Manning's paper, received, but the in
vestigation showed that the amount for two
years was the snug little sum of 1884, 500, and
Mr. Manning became wealthy newspaper man
and banker. Thus by steadily pushing the
cause of administrative REFORM"
He has managed his cards SO admirably
That now he is head of the Treasury.

Arguing the Matter with Hoxie.

ATcHIsoN, Kan, March 12.-There is no
change in the situation. EVERYBODY is awaiting
the action of Mr. Hoxie Governor Martin sent
him long message to-day, calling Mr.. Hoxie's
attention to the good behavior of the men, their
firmness of purpose, the general sympathy of
the public with the strikers, and the extent of
the strike. The Railroad Commissioners are said
to.have joined in the Governors message.
Vice-prosdent Hoxie replied to Gov. Martins
telegram substantially as follows "If the men
will accept their pay to the date of their quitting
work, and will permit US to resume our traffic
and occupy our property, we will meet them,
and discuss and arrange wages with them for
future employment on an intelligent and liberal
basis"

THE STRIKE ELSEWHERE.
Strikers at Moberly Decline a Proposal for
an Adjustment.

MoBERLY, Mo, March 12.-The strike con-
tinues without new features. Everything is
quiet. A conference between committee of
strikers and the management of the Missouri
Car Company, leesees of the Wabash shops has
been held. The managers stated to the men that
if they would resume work at the cut rates their
wages would be at once increased according to
their worth. This proposition was rejected by
the committee, who said the men would not go to
work unless an arrangement was made satisfac-
tory to the workmen all along the line. 1t is not
unlikely that the contract between the Wabash
company and the lessees of the shops here will
be cancelled if the managers do not commence
workmen here making arrangements to re-
move to other places where employment may be
had.

in restoring their wages. statement comes
from Jefferson City, made on the authority of
one of the leaders of the Sedalia strikers, who
vas in that city yesterday in conference with
Governor Marmaduke that unless a
settlement of the difficulty is made
by Friday noon, the engineers and
firemen will join the strikers. Governor Mar
maduke will send special representative to Sc
dalia to make further inquiry regarding the
situation there, and will probably appoint COM
mittee of personal friends at Sedalia to keep
him thoroughly advised of the condition of af-
fairs. He does not see why, if it be a fact, as
stated. that no violence has been used and no
interference practiced by the strikers that trains
don't move and the traffic Of the road is not re.
sumed
Neither Captain Hayes nor Colonel Hoxie
have gone to Sedala to confer with the strikers,
as intimated in the. dispatches, nor is it likely
either will CO.

just made on the Blue mountains number of
these foreigners have been engaged nearly all
winter in choppins wood OH the mountains, and
were frequently short of provisions. They had
several large watch dogs with them, and these
they ate up the same as other food. During the
winter many of the finest dogs belonging to the
farmers along the foot of the mountains have
disappeared, and party who recently viaited
the deserted camp of the foreign laborers found
the bare bones of no less than dozen dogs in
the vicinity of the huts occupied by them. They
say that dogs flesh is tender, sweet and very
paltable, something like veal

The Strikers Persuade Imported Machinists
to Join Their Ranks.

FORT WAYNE, March 12-Twenty six machn-
lists arrived in this city from Chicago at o'clock
this evening, having been imported by the Wa
bash Company to take the places
of the men now on strike at this
point They arrived in car attached to a
freight train on the Wabash road, having left
Chicago at o'clock Wednesday evening, and been
brought by a circuitous route via Spring
field in order to avoid suspicion. The
fact Of their presence became known
to the strikers about 10 P. NJ, when
a committee was sent to interview the new
comers who are mostly Germans at the Wash
ington House. The interviewing committee sue
ceeded so we'll that they induced twenty four of
the twenty-six men to attend meeting which
they Immediately called at Driscolrs HaN-
where the imported men were infatuated
into the knights of Labor and
joined the strikers. The imported men
claim that they knew nothing of the situation
here; that they accepted positions in Chicago in
answer to advertisements in German papers for
machinists to go to work outside the city.
The strikers are iubilant over these accessions.
1t is understood there are more importations to
come, but the strikers will endeavor to capture
them as rapidly as they arrive.

Rumors and Contradictions.

JEFFERSON CITY, March 12-The air is filled
with all sorts of wild rumors. The strikers claim
that compromise has been offered by Governor
Brown, representing the railroad company to
restore the old wages of last October, with a
probable increase, but Brown denies the state
ment, and says the railroad company will not ne
gotiate with the strikers because they are not
law-abiding, honest citizens, and the company
cannot treat with them under the circumstances
A strike began at Pleasant Hill, Mo-, this
morning, and the shops and yards are in posses
sion of mob. Trouble is feared there.
