HANDLING WHIsKY. - For several
weeks "Hint" Ridenhour conducted a
portable saloon but is now out Of busi-
ness, for a time at least. L. P. Isbell
intended going up the road last Friday
night in search Of him, when he learned
that his man was in town and soon
had him by the arm. "Hint" owned
up, and said he had made three trips to
Kansas, bringing three gallons OF
whisky the Hrst time and two gallons
on each OF the other trips. He further
said that - Doane was in partner
ship with him and furnished the money.
A warrant was thereupon secured for
Mr.. Doane and Saturday night he was
locked up in the "cooler" with several
other prisoners. Some hours later
Marshal Cunningham stood RESPONSE
BILE for this mans appearance when
wanted and he was released.

Pigeon, after a couple Of weeks se6lu-
sion came into notoriety again last
Thursday. The Globe-Democrat which
reached us that day contained the fol-
lowing special dispatch from Eufaula;
"Reports have reached here that
Deputy United States Marshal An
drews and his posse Of three were all
mortally wounded by Bill Pigeon while
attempting his capture Saturday.
Pigeon had killed twelve men, and
there has been large reward offered
for his capture, dead or alive. An
drews and his posse were after this
reward. Pigeon killed Deputy Marshal
Richardson while resisting arrest some
months ago. The particulars of the
atiray with the Andrews posse have
not yet been learned. A posse OF
armed citizens are securing the coun-
try for Pigeon" This correspondent
draws IL pretty strong. Judge CLARK
tells US that few days ago Pigeons
gun by accident went OF and the bal
passed through his clothes, burning the
skin. Doc Warren, just up from the
vicinity Of Oaks. gives us probably the
basis Of the Eufaula account. Lasi

Too MUcH WIFE.--John Sullivan, not
the pugilist, is in the calaboose in this
town waiting to be taken before the
commissioner at Muskogee. The war
rant for his arrest names bigamy as
the crime which he must answer. Sui
livan came here last year aud just as
soon as possible married Mrs. Sam
Love, Rev. Charles Journeycake's
daughter. 1t is said he has a wife in
Fayette county, Missouri. Sullivan
has not proved apleasant neighbor and
this fact probably led to his being re-
ported to the commissioner. His ad-
missions, il made at his trial would
convict. The wife came down from
Ii ghtning creek and was at first dis
posed 10 90 on Sullivan's bond. Friends
however advised her against such "a
course, pointing out to her the fact
that If guilty the man would in all pro-
bability make his escape and leave her
to pay the amount named and she
acted on this advice. The fate Of Jim
Pryor, who chose to be known by the
very "calfy" alias OF Charley Darling
may be visited upon Sullivan and Il
guilty there would be few mourners.

The General deficiency Bill.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-The general
deficiency appropriation bill reported
to the House fails to appropriate the
$1,500000 estimated SO necessary to
meet the expenses of government
transportation over non.subsidissd
branches of land grant railroads. The
estimate under the head of the Central
Pacific railroad included an item OF
$735, 100 from the War Department for
the transportation of troops and sup
plies during the present f;cal year
over the non-sutsidized branches Of
that railroad, aud an item Of sl71, 1853
on ths same account during the next
fiscal year. The Poetoffice Depsrt-
ment also sent in an item OF $685.
7l4 for mail transportation over
the same branches Auditor Williams
appeared before the committee and
explained that these appropriations
were made necessary by the decision
Of the Supreme Court TO the effect
that compensation could not be with
held from tie railroad on account OF
service performed on non-3ubiidizsd
branch lines. The committee, how
ever, has disallowed the item on the
ground that the real issue has never
been investigated in court and that
the government has the right to set
off as sgainst these claims Of the
companies the millions of dollars an
nually paid by the government on &C.
count OF interest on the railroad bonds.

A NOTION prevails with many per-
sons chat the workingmen's unions
and the Knights Of Labor are prepar-
ing to take an active part in the
August elections, and that they have
special candidates for two or more Of
the offices to be filled at that time.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth. The workingmep's unions and
the Knights Of Labor organizations
exist for the specific object of main
tanning agreed rates Of wages and
hours of labor, and they have moth
ing to do with politics or politicians.
The members of these unions and
labor organizations are soma Of them
Republicans, most CT them Democrats,
and they will vote as their political
principles may lead them. 1t is safe
fto say, therefore, that every man who
proposes TO carry the workingmen's
vote to either ticket is a fraud who is
not entitled TO credence, as one speak
ing wholly and altogether without
authority. The workingmen have no
t'cketpor win they have any, nor, sj-
ditionaly let us say, can they be iu-
-duced il their organized capacity to
have anything to do, near or remote,
with sithtt political party or with any
politician o candidatae

A MANUFACTURE of engines does
not employ nailmaker to help him;
a shipbuilder does not employ brick
layer to assist him in his task; nor
does the shoemaker the tailor. Bridge
building is as distinct an employment
as any of these, and therefore requires
a technical skill and ability peculiar to
itself. Men are trained to it, just as
they may bs trained to house build
ing, to hat making, to cabinet making,
or blacksmithing. Such a man, an
expert having knowledge Of bridge
construction and q practical civil en-
gineer, should be employed by the
County Court ss Superintendent OF
Bridge Building and no other. The
court in this matter should follow the
example Of the railr>a1 companies,
who would not think of employing
any other than a civil engineer, a
technical expert, in the construction
of any kind Of bridge, whether of
wood, iron, steel, stone or brick.
Y'Every man to his trade" in such a
case, is very safe adsge.

A PETITION is in circulation, ad.
dressed to the president OF the Mem
phis and Charleston railroad, by the
people who reside near BuDtyn Sta
ton, asking that platform aud depot
building be erected for the convenience
and protection Of passengers and ship
pers. Seventeen years ago the people
erected such a structure, but FIVE years
ago it was destroyed by FIRE and has
net since been replaced. Greatly
needed as it is, we hope Mr., Fink will
promptly accede TO the prayer Of the
petitioners and order the building and
platform to be erected at once. As
much as $4,000 barrels Of potatoes
have been shipped from Buntyn in
one season, and the daily passenger
list is very large.

The two.thirds rule has been prin-

found to be a safe one. 1t comes as
near as is possible to reaching the

fies, as the majority rule never can,

therefore, be adhered to as safe rule.

should be strenuously adhered to.
There is no urgency for a departure
from it and nothing but the necessi-
ties Of place hunters will suggest it,
and these, where the whole body Of

worthy of a momert's consideration.

POwDERLY AND TIE PRESS,
An Error Corrected by the Master
workman.

NKw York, June 29.-Soon after
the Cleveland Convention OF the
Knights OF Labor, there were published
in several papers what purported TO be
interviews with Powoerly, In which
he was reported as commenting in
severe terms on the Associated P,ess
reports of the convention, and as
holding jay Gould responsible for
them As the reports did not contain
any Of the Objectionable things Of
which Powderly complained, and il
was evident his mind was con.
fu cd between the Press and
by special correspondents, an
opportunity was given to him TO OBJ
tain correct informal ON on the sub
ject. These reports having been
drought to the attention Of Mr., Stone,
president OF the New York Associated
Press, that gentleman wrote Mr.. Pow
derly explaining the difference be-
tween special" and "press" reports,
and asking him 10 put the Associated
Press in its proper light. Mr.. Powder
ly has answered this letter, renacting
what he said about the "press" re-.
ports, and acknowledging his error.
