A Great Strike In Eurnnp.

During tie past few weeks labor strike of
immense proportions has been in progress in
Belgium. The troubles were caused by the
prolonged depression in the iron aud steel trade
at Charieroi. Many mines and foundries have
been stopped for some tine, previous to which
the men had been working at starvation prices
When trade revived the men asked for their
old wages and, on being refused, struck. The
strike has been conducted with the utmost
violence, and vast quantities Of property. have
been wantonly destroyed. 1t is reported that
the damage TO property in the disturbed dis
trict is, up to the present time, estimated at
q, 600, 900 francs The number of troops in the
field exceeds 5000, and il the troubles do not
soon cease batteries of artillery will be placed
at intersections OF streets in the cities to NOW
down mobs with grape. Every jewellery store
and gunshop in Charleroi, and nearly every
liquor warehouse and drinking saloon has been
loo.ed and more or less completely wrecked
Churches have been robbed OF all articles OF pre-
cous metal. More than hundred colerics
foundricS and residences have been burned
Hundreds of citizens have been robbed in the
streets in daylight. One young lady, who wore
diamond ring that was tight upon the finger,
had her finger amputated by the rutians with
a chiscl and mallet
The rioters at Junet, upon approach of the
troops sent to disperse them, placed POO women
in the front ranks The troops opened fire, and
many of the women were wounded. The strike
is extending TO Namur. Additional troops
have been called from Brussels to quell the
compelled TO beg for food. The men are dcs-
perate, and threaten personal violence if their
wants arc not supplied.
The aspect of affairs is altogether very
gloomy, and the most fearful blOodshed may
occur at any moment.

The Great Railroad Strike.

In st. Louis the loss has been very great,
and especially at East st. Louis, where the
Knights of Labor absolutely control every
thing. In that place about $l2O00.000 worth
of railroad property is located, and when it is
mentioned that the entire police force, num-
bering about 90 men, are in complete sympa-
thy with the strikers the CONSERVATION of the
railroad managers can be realized. The Knights
Of Labor control city elections aud all Offices
there. To give an idea of the injury caused to
business there, the bank clearing. as compared
with the figures before the strike, is $4,000 less
daily. The loss of revenue TO the Gould sys-
TEN so far is estimated at something over
$2,000,000 and to the employees about s. 000,-
600. 1t is reported that freight to the value of
S40,000,000 has been detained since the inaugu-
ration of the strike. Ten -four mills and scores
of manufacturing establishments on the line of
the road have shut down for want of raw ma
terial.
Grand Master Powderly, who has conducted
the labor organizations in the country with
great skill and moderation, isof the opinion now
that matters have reached point when halt
should be called, and he has issued a circular
to that effect He thinks that the work has
been pushed forward too rapidly, and that the
labor organizations are not sufficiently drilled
to contend successfully with the capitalists and
monopolists. One paragraph Of his circular
reads as follows: "To attempt to win conces-
sions or gains with our present raw, undis-
ciplined membership would be like hurling an
unorganized mob against well-drilled regular
army. 1t is not fair to the older Assemblies to
bring in new members, pick up their quarrels
as soon as organized, and have them expect
pecuniary aid from those who helped build the
order up for noble purpose" The strike was
also threatened last week cn the Wabash system,
but the Chairman Of the Executive Committee
Of the Wabash Knights of Labor ruled that
there was no just cause for striking, and Or
dered the men Immediately back TO work.
On Saturday last it was reported that an
agreement had been arrived at between Pres-
dent Gould and Mr. Powderly, and that the
strikers would resume work at once but on
Monday there was a hitch in the negotiations,
and new correspondence commenced between
the railroad King and the Grand Master Work
man.

Wild Western Frolics.

For sometime past the cowboys on the L. s.
Ranch, near the town of Tascosa, Tex, have
been accused of appropriating all stray cattle
that fell in their way. A few days since four
beeves, owned by a friend of a rumseller named
Woodruff, disappeared and the L. S. Ranch boys
were accused of appropriating them. On Sun
day night last the dispute came to determine
tion by a most bloody encounter. Shortly after
midnight the town was aroused by a volley of
firearms. Jesse Sheets, hotel proprietor,
thrust his head and shoulders out of the win
dow to ascertain the cause of the disturbance,
and was instantly riddled with bullets. AS soon
rs lights could be procured it was found that
three of the L. S. Ranch cowboys were dead,
and Woodruff, the saloon keeper above referred
to. and Chas. Emery severely wounded. The
killing of Sheets was declared to he purely acci-
dental, as he was not in any way connected with
the disturbance. 1t appears that just before
the street fight tho cowboys had gone into a
saloon to drink. After q few minutes the stray
cattle question came up. and it ended by free
fight.

The Prize Drill

To THE EDITOR: have been requested to
write up an account of the prize drill which
took place between the 14th and 4lst III. at
Memphis, Tenn, March 26, 1S6-. When
Hurlbuts Fighting Fourth Division arrived at
Memphis, Tenn, in March, d discussion arose
between Gems. Huribut and Lauman as to
which was the best drilled regiment in the
Fourth Division. Hurlbut cOntended that the
18th Ill. was the best, while Lauman said the
4lst Ill. was the superior. Each regiment was
ordered to Division headquarters for dress pa
rade, which was gone through with in good style.
The next day the commander of the 41st ILL.,,
Lieut. Col. John ii. Male received challenge
from Col. Cam, of the 14th H., for prize
drill, with specifications, etc. The officers
of the defeated regiment were to buy the
victors fine silver bugle The Colonel called
the 41st III. out and asked them what to do.
They all said, Accept the challenge and we will
back you" Then commenced the preparations
to win the bugle. We were drilled each day in
all the different manuvers The day of the drill
was agreed to be the 26th of March, and at the
appointed hour each regiment arrived at head
quarters on time. There was no less than 10000
citizens and soldiers present to witness the
drill, as it had been we'll advertised in the
Memphis papers. chain guard was placed
around the bluegrass lawn in front of head
quarters, where the regiments were to drill, to
keep the crowd back. The 4lst III. were all
dressed Just alike, with Mcclellan caps, white
gloves, blouses in pants at belt, with shoes
blaclled and in order The 14th were not in
so good attire; some had on caps, some hats,
some dress coats and some blouses. Three
Regular officers were chosen to decide the drill.
Each regiment was put through the program
of drill and marching including the manual of
arms The judges were unanimous in award
ing the 41st Ill. the prize, making every point
contendcd for except the funeral march, which
Col. Male informed the judges he did not claim,
as we had not had time to stop to bury many
up to that date. The ladies' OF Memphis pre-
sented the list III. with IA magnificent wreath
of flowers in token of their victory and good
appearance and good behavior as soldiers. We
had never claimed to be the best drilled regi-
ment from Illinois, but we learned the 1ith Ill.
had as they were from Jacksonville, Ill., and the
4lst from Decatur. Time rolled on aud we
received no bugle. During the siege of Vicks-
burg Col. Cam, of the 14th Ill, and others were
taken prisoners and on his way back, after
being exchanged, he bought "a very cheap brass
bugle, polished over q little, and while at
Natchez, Miss, sent it over to our Colonel
This was not doing as the agreement read and
it was not in accordance with the wishes of
the officers and men of the 14th Ill. to set thus,
as they favored good bugle and presenting it
in style. We shall always think that Col.
Cam and the officers of the 18th ILL., owe
the 4lst Ill. silver bugle and hope at our
next Reunion at Decatur in the Fall of 1856
they will make that agreement good.-E. Il.

Warning n Negro Leader.

The fight between the "wets" and the
"drys" in Georgia has become quite bitter. At
Milledgeville the campaign has been carried on
with great vigor, the rum-sellers making des-
perate struggle against the Prohibitonists. In
q recent parade of the "wet" negroes II. E.
Krentz, barkeeper, acted as marshal and rode
up and down the line making incendiary re-
marks to his black allies. This of itself made
the white people indignant but when the fell
low later in the day instructed the blacks that
in case the white women should approach
them On the subject of temperance, they
were at liberty to insult them, he was given
notice to leave the County Immediately. He
wisely left.

A Widow Robbed by Her NeighbOrs.

gang of burglars. who have been plunder-
ing the farmers of Montour and Columbia
Counties, Pa, for the past two or three years.
were brought to grief last week through the
efforts of q widow named Nought, residing at
Sharp Ridge Montour County. She had about
lost all her grain through their depredations
during the past Winter, and undertook the
task of ferreting them out unaided. Last week
her investigations eliminated in a confession
from the youngest member of the gang a boy
of about 16 years. duplicating several promi-
nent farmers of that vicinity. The leader
proved to be Mrs. Vought's nearest neighhor, y
farmer named Dimmick. He was arrested and
placed under heavy bail, a lot of stolen goods
being found concealed in his house.

Abusing n Girl to Death.

John and Winifred McAndrew, of Scranton,
Pa, have been committed to the County Jail on
the charge of having wontonly and maliciously
caused the death of Mary Guaghan, their 13-
year-old ward, by cruel neglect and ill-treat-
ment Several witnesses testified to the savage
cruelty practiced upon the child by her guard
ians McAndrew used to put a bit" in her
mouth and gag her, and on one occasion he
branded her face with a red-hot poker, declar
ing that he did so in order that he might be
able to identify her ghost in case it came back
to haunt him. The body of the girl was terri
bly, emaciated. Her feet were frozen and her
toes ready to fall off. The feeling against Nc
Andrew and his wife is quite strong, and they
are probably glad to be within the prison walls.

Committee of Physicians Declare 1t to be in Good
Condition.

At the urgent request Of those having the
Soldiers Orphans School at Chester Springs,
Pa, in their direct charge, number Of physi-
clans of Chester County assembled there on
Thursday afternoon last for the purpose of
making an investigation of the sanitary condi-
tion of the buildings that are occupied by the

representative of the GAR; DR.. Laurie p.
Hulme, of West Chester; DR.. Morris Fussell,
East Pikeland, and Drs. r. s. Keelor and Mos

sought Justice of the Peace Jacob Emory, be-
fore whom they testified and affirmed that their

schools were utterly false, and, on the contrary,
they had found everything in a most favorable
and cOmmendable condition.

A Case Without a Parallel.

The Lawrence Kan Herald gives an ac-
count of a Cesarean operation performed on q
mare which had been been bitten by a mad dog
and had several hydrophobic fits. The colt re-
moved by the operation lived, and continued
to thrive until last Friday when it gave symp-
toms Of hydrophobia, which was soon followed
by violent fits. These became so frequent that
the colt Lad to be killed. This case is said to
be without parallel in veterinary practice,
and shows conclusively that the virus which
brought on the fits in the mare was c0mmuni-
Gated by means Of the blood to the colt, which
developed, as stated above, into rabies in 10

The Krights Of Labor.

Although the knights Of Labor have not been
in existence more than few years, they have
attained a strength that has made them felt
throughout the length and breadth of the land.
There are now more than 100000 members of
this organization, and the influence welded by
the united efforts Of this vast brotherhood in
industrial affairs is wonderful
Uriah S. Stephens who was born in 1921 in
Cape May County, n. j.. was the founder of
this great Order. He died in 1892, soon after
he had accomplished his life work, but before
it had begun to assume the colossal proportions
it bears to-day.
II. V. Powderly, who is at the present time
at the head of the organization, has shown
himself to be the right man in the right place,
and has conducted its affairs with an ability
and moderation which has won him the respect
of everybody.

Interesting Corn FirureS.

Statistical features of the 1855 crops in Illi-
nois are presented in circular issued by the
State Board of Agriculture. The circular shows
that the corn area in 1856. of 1912, ,657 acres,
was less than that of any year since 1873, with
the exception of 1884, but the yield of 230, ,922,
29S bushels exceeds that OF 1884 by 90, ,3G5, ,636
bushels. The crap at prevailing prices, will
return the farmers $64, $50, ,545 which is less
than that obtained for almost any corn crop
ever produced in the State.

A capital story has just been raked up con-
corning the late Mr.. Justice Maule, and those
who are now agitatiug about children and
oath-taking in courts of justice should study
its wisdom At trial over which Mr. Justice
Maule presided great doubt was expressed as to
whether a little girl who had been called as a
witness knew about the nature Of IN oath. To
silence controversy the Judge asked the child
if she knew where she would go if she told 4
lie. The witness meekly replied, No, SIR"
To which the Judge added: "A very sensible
answer. Neither do know where you will go
to. You may swear the witness"
