our friend refers to-
The Labor enquirer., 1885-02-28
al. sentimental Philosophy.

For The Enquirer:
Zeno, generally so clear on labor ques-
tons, got himself entangled in half
column of the late issue of The LABOR
ENQUIRER in sentimental philosophy
about dynamite. Trying to argue out
the Irish from the use of fdynamlte after
they have drank the gall and endured
the lash of British oppression for eight
hundred years. is similar to the tactics
of our pious folks to preach charity, duty
to the rich, and patience and submission
to the poor. 1t is very nice, but don't
do one cents worth of good. There is
an eternal law of cause and effect as in
exorable as the law of gravitation, and
Zeno knows better than the most of us
that brutal oppression begets brutal re-
venge. Why then waste time and words
about dynamite outrages any more than
any other outrages. A man that has
helplessly witnessed the eviction of his
aged father and sick mother from the
home of their birth, hungry and naked
out in the snow by the powers that be, il
he has spark of human sensibility left
in him, must haye, right then and there,
vowed an eternal hatred and awful re-
venge to the representative and visible
agents and sympathizers of such crime,
and he will not be liable to make any
hair-splitting reasonings about the right
or the wrong of the mode of dealing out
his vengeance, or about the friends OF
the foes he may make or lose by it.

NORFOLK, April IL. 1885.
The committee appointed by the de-
positcrs in the Franklin Savings Bank
10 examine into the condition OF the
banks affairs have prepared their re-
port. II will be remembered that Mr..
John b. Whitehead preferred the de-
poxitors In this bank in his deed Of as
sienmcnt, and it was believed that
bis property would be absorbed by
the Franklin Savings Bank and
leave nothing for the Exchange.
But the report Of the committee
mikes more favorable showing.
Mr.. Whitehead owes the Franklin,
directly and indirectly, about $4,000.
Cf,his amount Mr.. Whitehead owes per-
sonally about CSC. 900, but has on deposit
collateral TO the amount of $4,000,
leaving a balance Of 10000 due the
bank on his personal account, or s95,0OO
ell told. or this amount assurance has
been given that the parties for whom
Mr.. Whitehead endorsed are able to pay
ss3, 1000. leaving possible balance Of
t42. 600 against the Whitehead estate.
This estate is said TO be worth some
e2O0. 600, so that il seems more than pro-
bablc that the Exchange will get at least
el50. 900 after Mr.. Whitehead has salts
fed the claims Of the Franklin Savings.
The Franklin has some $4,000 worth
Of doubtful claims from all sources, and
the expenses Of the trust will be say
$4,000; but the premium on its bonds
amounts to some 10000, so that the
depositors will lose about $4,000 out
of an entire deposit Of 100000.
Mr.. w. II. Peters, receiver OF the
Exchange, is hard at work with the ex-
aminers, but nothing definite has as yet
been given TO the public.
The Episcopal Convocation is in ses-
sion in this city, but the ministers have

same political persuasion. Judge God

advantage Of his client, female, in
drawing up deed Of trust. Mr.. Seld-
ner gave him the lie, and the Judge at
tempted to strike his antagonist, but
missed his aim, and was fined eco for

nesday afternoon mad-dog was driven
out Of town, but returned at midnight
and made his appearance in the St.
Julien Hotel, where members of the
Standard Dramatic Company are stay
ing. The dog made an attack on Actor
Caulfeld in the hotel Office, and several
guests who were present fed in all
directions. Alarming cries brought out
the Fire Department and woke up the
police, and the general impression was
that riot was in progress. Mr.. Caul-
field grappled with the dog, and tried
to force his head into bass horn be-
longing to the band, but failing fell
over bass drum, and was for q
moment lost to sight. But the dog
did not cease his attentions, and recov-
ering himself, Mr.. Caulfield was again
forced to embrace the animal, when
struggle ensued between them. One of
the guests took up chair and struck
the dog, knocking him senseless to the
floor. At this juncture q guest, in
great agitation and partly undressed,
emerged from the dining-room with q
butter-dish, which he hurled at the
PROSTATE animal, but instead of striking
the dog he hit the actor on the back Of
the head. BY this time Mr.. Terrell
Allday, who had gone for n p;stol- ar
rived and shot the dog in the Office.
The leading man, Mr.. Hamilton, in
wild fight from the hotel fell into an
open sewer, and Mr.. Caulfeld, after
the dog was knocked insensible, made
his escape and found daylight this morn
ing on the top of sycamore tree in
the middle Of the street, opposite the
hotel.

At a meeting of the Town Council
of Harrisonburg held last night quite
q yoluminous report from a committee
of its members recently appointed to
look into and report upon the most
feasible plan for supplying the town
with water was received and adopted.
The report recommends Artesian
wells, and contains full estimates Of the
cost Of supplying the town with daily
flow of l44, 900 gallons. A response
bic Philadelphia man will take the con-
tract and guarantee the above amount
of water, with reservoir holding | ,000,-
900 gallons, together with $4,000 feet
Of three, four, and six-inch mains, for
e25,000. A vote on the water-works
question based upon these figures will
be submitted to the qualified voters of
the town on Thursday, April SOth in
slant.
Mr.. John F. Driver, near Timber
vile, in this county, had horse valued
ut $50 stolen from his stables last
week; but fortunately the thief, who
proved to be negro boy Of this place,
was captured in Winchester, and the
animal restored to its owner. The boy
is now in Jail here. and will doubtless
be kept for term in your city at the
expense Of the State.
Major Thomas X. Miller, one Of the
best known and most popular men in
Rockingham county, died at his home,
on the Shenandoah river, on Tuesday
night, in the seventy-seventh year Of his
age. He was one Of those genuine old
Virginia gentlemen now becoming
scarce, and there are doubtless many
hundreds Of Confederate soldiers who
still remember the bounteous hospitality
he dispensed with such pleasure during
the late war, during which and since he
was noted for keeping "priyate pub
lie house," He leaves a widow and
one child upon his splendid estate.
The rain Of the past few days has
brought out the wheat somewhat, but
pone Of our farmers expect more than a
half crop.
The feeling between the Malone and
Cameron wings Of the Republican party
is warming up in this county under the
influence Of Northumberland Lewis.
j have just learned from most anthem
tic source that quiet but most Thorough
anti-Mahone organization is now in
progress, not only in Rockingham and
other Valley counties, with Lewis,
Riddleberger, and others as its inspira-
ton, but in the Southwest, under the
direction Of Attorney-General Blair,
Billy Pendleton, and others. Front
same source l learn that Governor
Cameron is sending out letters to his
friends at the rate Of 1000 per day.
The General will likely find himself be-
trayed by those he deems his friends.
Developments Of an interesting nature
will doubtless soon appear. X.

Mr.. Gregory passed satisfactory ex-

the Presbytery.
The Presbyterry then resolved to Ii

The Rev. I. T. Jones, on behalf Of a

colored minister, whose death was an

il was ordered that hereafter the
