Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1886-10-15

As a general thing strikes are ill.con-
sidered and unwise, but one of the most
foolish We have yet heard Of occurred
in q northern factory. Two girls got
into = quarrel and finally fought, and
the foreman discharged them. Then be-
cause the proprietors would not dis
charge the foreman and take back the
girls the whole force of over hundred
quit work. In Chicago eight thousand
pork packers and butchers are on a
strike because their employers desire
them to work ten hours day. In Phil
adslphia thousands Of factory employ
ees are on q strike, and will not even
agree to arbitration. And so it goes on.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND and his Cab
met have decided that when q govern
ment official becomes candidate for an
elective Office he must resign his posi-
ton. The New York Sun very truly
says that when Mayor Cleveland was
nominated for governor he did not re-
sign from the mayoralty, and when
Governor Cleveland was a candidate for
the Presidency he did not hand in his
resignation as governor. Because man
holds an Office under the government is
no reason why he should be deprived of
his rights as an American citizen. Hav-
ing his own Office secure. President
Cleveland does not seem to care much
about any other Democrats holding
Office.

VIZ take our report Of the Senatorial
convention at Martinsburg from the
Charlestown Spirit, Mr.. George Il.
Light, Secretary, being the author. We
make sundry eliminations that we think
improper for Democratic paper to
publish or Democratic secretary to
write.

ARE the Republicans of the Sixth dis
trict of Maryland anticipating defeat?
The Baltimore American recently con.
tanned the following quotation: "Mr.
McComas can be defeated only by fraud
and the use Of money" 1t looks as If
they were "sorter" letting themselves
down easy.

The members of the Strider delegation
at the Martinsburg convention punished
the naughty fellows who voted against
them by refusing tc appoint any of them
on the Senatorial Executive Committee.
They kept them all at the other end Of
the county, too, not taking one from
this side of the railroad.

The three Republican candidates for
the Presidency, John Sherman, James
G. Blaine and John A. Logan, are ac-
lively stumping the United States.
Sherman is waving the bloody shirt,
Blaine ia condemning everything Demo-
cratic. and Logan is making frantic eff
forts to capture the soldier vote by abus-
ing President Cleveland for vetoing
pension bills. It's great procession.

MURDERED BY BOYS.
A Tragedy in Which a Shepherd
Was the Victim.
Sixty Sheep Also Destroyed by the
Youthful Murderers.

Three months ago Mexican shepherd IN
charge of a flock Of sheep on the ranch OF j.
r. Simpson, in Zavalla county, Texas, was
foully murdered by parties then unknown.
A Mexican companion Of the shepherd,
was for long time thought to be the muir.
derer, as he had disappeared from the country
about the time the deed was committed This
suspicion, however, proved erroneous, and
the real culprits have been discovered and
jailed. From a gentleman residing in the
vicinity of the crime, it is learned that the
real murderers are two boys named Brown
and Wood neither of whom is over fourteen
years old, and whose brothers before them
are said to have belonged to band OF des.
peradoes.
These two boys and another companion OF
the same age, Joe Burris, went to where
the unsuspecting Mexican was herding sheep.
One of them had a revolver, as also did the
shepherd, which the other boy borrowed.
No sooner did they get possession OF the
Mexican's revolver, when these young fiends
Brown and Wood-without provocation
turned their revolvers upon the poor shep-
herd and fired seventeen shots into his body.
At the first shot the Mexican fell upon his
knees and implored them not to kill him; but
the hardened young murderers laughed at
AlS p1dyC4S duu hcpU up OuCAA tooAAesAS eAS'A
he dropped over dead. They then fired sew
eral balls into his quivering body. Reload
ing their revolvers, they kept up their pas.
time by shooting into the flock of sheep, and
killed sixty head before they stampeded.
The officer, Of Zavalla County diligently
set to work to ferret out the murderer or
murderers, without success until few days
ago, when the whole affair was revealed:
Joe Burris the companion of the youthful
criminals, who was present when they killed
the Mexican, and fired into the flock of
sheep, although not a participant in the
shooting, was arrested by the Sheriff
of Zavalla County and charged with COM
mitting the crime. After being in confne-
ment few days and being sharply inter-
rogated, he weakened and betrayed Brown
and Wood, giving the above description OF
how the murder was committed. Brown
and Wood were at once apprehended, and
the young murderers are now enjoying each
others company in the Zavalla County Jail.

Italy is waking up to the value OF

Italy is wakingup to the value OF
modern improvements. The unique ex'
ample of a town undergoing direct
transition from oil lighting to electric IL
Illumination without passing through the
intermediate stage of gas lighting is pre-
scntcd by the little town of Tivoll, near
Rome. Upon the occasion of the inau-
guratiou a large number of invited
guests from the town and from Rome
were received by the municipality and
citizens. The guests included the rep
resentatives of England, Spain, Austria
and other nations, and after the city had
been illuminated a grand banquet was
partaken of in honor of the occasion and
was followed by musical entertainment
in the town hall. The success of the
lighting is complete. Arrangements arc
being made for private lighting in Tivoli
and for transmitting 2OO-horse-power
from Tivoli to Rome for lighting pur-
poses in the latter city.

Coral Fishing.

There is prevailing impression among
the Young that men dive down to the bot
tom of the sea for coral. A little girl
once told US, with big, wondering eyes,
how the coral diver would dive down
head first to the very bed Of the ocean,
and after long while come up with a
handsome coral necklace around his neck
and two or three bracelets on each wrist,
which was considered pretty good mess
of coral to catch at single dive. The
truth is, however. that the coral is OBJ
tanned by means of wooden apparatus
in the shape of cross, having in its CEN
tire "a Ieaden stone or slug for ballast. Nets,
the meshes of which are loose. are hung
on the bars of the cross and dragged at
the bottom of the sea, and among the
crevices of the rocks. These nets, wind
ing about the coraline plant, break up
or tear off its branches, which adhere to
the meshes. The apparatus is drawn up
by the fisherman whenever he thinks it
is sufficiently laden. Coral fishing is
largely followed in Algeria, the annual
production amounting to $3.50, ,0O0.-
TEXAS Sytings.

eating the condition Of business and finds
through interviews with many merchants
that there is general Improvement IN all
branches of trade-an Improvement that af-
fects all sections of the Union. The long
period of depression in business, says the
World, seems now to be giving way to one
of prosperity. Merchants and general trades
men agree that the prospects Of the fall trade
are very bright. There is no boom, but a
steady, healthy growth. Every one sees IN,
dications of better times. 1t is the universal
opinion in commercial and financial circles
that not only is the present condition Of busl-
ness better than it has been for number OF
years past, but that the future is Of greater
promise than for long time. The hustle
and activity in the dry-goods district is ap-
parent to all who visit that part OF the city.
That trade is generally the first to feel the
good times. Big iobbing and commission
houses are lighted up at night and the side
walks are numbered with bales and boxes
Far into the night men pack goods for ship
ment. The streets in the dry-goods district
are lined at night with trucks piled high with
merchandise and covered with tarpaulins,
ready to be started at daybreak for the
steamer wharves and railroad shipping
offices.
Confidence has been restored among in
vestors, and new enterprises are being pro-
moted in Wall street. The banking institu-
tions are encouraged, and holders of railroad
securities are delighted by The increased
earnings, of the lines from freight, which
clearly shows that goods are being trans
ported everywhere in large quantities. Iron
has advanced in price in the face Of the
largest production ever known.

Statesmen "Stuck" for q Word.

Henry Clay never was at loss for a
word or 'boggled" while speaking. With
Mr.. Webster i. was different, and he often
would hesitate, and then rub his nose
with the bent knuckle of his right thumb.
MIR. Calhoun, when at loss for word,
would give petulant twist at his large,
turned-over shirt collar, and then run
his bony fingers through his long gray
hair until it stood up like the hair on an
electric toy. Mr.. Benton would sink his
voice and humble something that no
one could understand, and General Cass
would "Aw! aw!" in the English style,
passing his hand beneath the lower edge
of his capacious white waistcoat. Mr..
Webster was almost invariably 'stuck''
when he attempted to use Latin quo
tation, and when Mr.. Everett was in the
Senate he used invariably to appeal to
him.-Ben: Psrley Poore.
