of his wife, and when ne sought to

Hand, a large woman, sister of the
defendant, shouted "Muflly you have
murdered my sister, and | will kill
you," and rushing at Muf1y seized him
by the hair and dragged him across the
courtroom before she could be

A Serious Charge Against Tele-
rraph Officials.


New YoGK, Nov. 6-In an inter.
view to-day in regard to the boycott
which the Knights of Labor have
instituted against the Mallory line of
steamers at Galveston, Mr.. Mallory
said he had not the slightest intention
of yielding, as the demands of strikers
were wholly unreasonable and one
concession would open the way
to new demands and more
concessions The line was hav-
ing its work at Galveston done
all right by the colored laborers. The
extent to which the knights of Labor
were exercising power at present,
was indicated by the fact that they
practically controlled the telegraph.
All the dispatches between his town
and the agent ats Galveston being
known to the strikers and some of the
dispatches being delayed in transmits
sion.

ANDREW J0HNs0Ns INDUSTRY.
Farm Habits of the Successor of Lin
coin.


Andrew johnson mas had few equals in
industry in the White House, says Ben:
Perley Poore. He rose at 6, and until
breakfast, which was served at 1880,
looked over the newspapers. Immedi-
atelly after breakfast he went to the eX-
ecutiye apartments and commenced the
labor of the day. First, there were bun
dies of letters to be read and the replies
dictated TO the Secretaries. Applications
for appointments, promotions, discharges
from the army and navy, political adYce,
petitions FOR executive clemency and in
Vulnerable other subjects were disposed
Of: but, before half completed, the visitors
commenced to flock into the ante-rOoms
and thrust their cards upon him. Pardon
seekers swarmed on every hand. Former
owners Of confscated property paced up
and down before the Presidents room,
and females, with mdescribablee ifrOntery,
insisted upon immediate admttance.
After the most important business OF
the morning had been disposed of the Wis
itors were admitted one by one, and the
President submitted himself to the arte-
sian process. This lasted till about l 80
or >, sometimes O'Clock, when the doors
Of his apartment were opened and the
whole crowd admitted. At such times
I Browning, Private Secretary, stood near
the President and took memoranda as die
tated by him on the cases Of the visitors
who succeeded each other with subjects
for executive action, like the dense thr0ng
at a post office window, The Presidents
manner at such times WAS always pleas
ant, and gave confidence to the most timid.
/ His decisions were quick, and each indi-
vidual who laid his case before the Pres-
/ dent learned in halt a dozen courteous
I words the final decision. When all had
I been listened to, and the halls were once
more empty, the President turned again
4 to papers on his table until o'clock, the
hour for dinner. Aterdinner he returned
to his office, and there generally remained
until a late hour, seldom retiring before
! II o'clock. His fav0rite journalists were
). b. Mccullough, better known as
MACK" of the Cincinnati Commercial,
and Simon =. HanscOm, then the editor OF
the Washington Republican, both of whom
enjoyed his entire confidence, which Mr.
Hanscom derived considerable profit from
by aiding applicants for office.

THE NEW KIND OF GAS.
What q Party of bal imoreaus Saw in
NorristOwn, Pa.

From tie Baltimore Sun.
Mr. owen A. Gill, who was ONE Of the
party which went from Baltimore to wit
ness test Of the gas inventions of Prof.
Lowe at his works in Norrstown, Pa,
gives a description Of what they saw. He
saws:
Prof. Lowe escorted the party to the
works of the Lowe Manufacturing Com
pany. and gave a series OF illustrations of
the new system Of gas lightning. by this
system the gas used Is a fuel gas; that is,
it has no illuminating properties, and as
these latter constitute threetOurths OF the
cost of the ordinary gas, it can be made
at a nominal cost. When lighted il burns
with dun blue fame. This fuel gas is
made by the Lowe process, which is now
IN use at the old Consumers Compauy's
works. Half of the gas used in Baltimore
is made by this process, and the change
to this fuel gas would cost only small
sum. Ii is burned i'm an ordinary burner.
just above the burner, and attached to IT.,
is a spiral loop of white metal, and which
is adjusted 90 the poi"t or zone of greatest
heat i'm the flame When the gas is turned
on and lighted this spiral loop instantly
glows with an absolutely steady and
white light, and would be mistaken for an
Edison lamp without the globe, only the
light is more difused, vet the power is
equal, if not superior. This spiral loop is
indestructible TO all intents, tor we we're
shown one that had been burning thir-
teen hours a day for four months, and
which was not affected in the slightest
manner, nor had il lost the hundredth
part Of a grain in weight, showing tuat
the great heat had not affected 1t in any
way. Then, should il by accident become
broken. il can be mended; or the old ma
terial worked over 70 new one at an eX-
pense of i've cents.
Another popularity was that you could
not blow 10 out, not at least by any ordi-
nary blowing. AS for the material that
cOmpOses this spiral loop, that rs the Pro-
fessOr's discovery. 1t looked like plati-
mum, but no platinum would stand that
treatment and not twist and bend under
its own weight. The Professor assure d
us IL was "a composition that was his in
YentiOn and the cornerstone OF his pat
cnts, which are not yet issued from the
patent office. The light is practically
perfect. IL is steady under the influence
OF even a draft; it appears TO be ind
structible and everlasting, and it's cheap
ness rs marvellous as its beauty. We
were convinced from the data furnished
ms that IL could be sold at 30 cents per
1000 feet and Weld a handsome profit.
All this is not half Of what may be ac

Senator Vests son holds commission
in connection with the diplomatic SER
vice, fact that that has occasioned
much comment. Senator Vest is to-day
the great orator of the party, the natural
leader of the democracy in the senate.
Hence the invidious comments upon the
so-called "nepotism." 1t is well that the
circumstances leading to the appoint
ment be made known to the world. in
order to show in how far the great states
man from Missouri is responsible. In a
recent interview he said: "As to my
sons appointment as consular clerk, it
was not of my doing at all. He was on
the Yellowstone expedition with Presi-
dent Arthur. He is good rider, fine
marksman and an expert fisherman. Mr..
Arthur took fancy to him and wanted
to put him in the army as second lieu
tenant. / advised the boy not to go into
the business of drinking bad whisky
on frontier posts. He finally gave it up.
One day at the White house MraArthur
spoke Of the boy to me, and ofhis ad-
miration for him, and asked me why ]
didn't send him abroad. / made some
reply indicating the lack of cash for such
an investment The president said he
would like to make him consular
clerk. / objected to it. But few days
after Mr.. Davis sent me word that the
president had appointed him. This ID
the extent of my nepotism."
