Local Option in Dranesville.

Local UpLl0u III DrautsFlllc
MY attention was called recently to let
ter which appeared in the GAZETTE of the
25th Of February. signed by J, somo state
ments Of which, in relation to local option
I desire TO answer rs briefly as possible.
Fair minded and disinterested men, not
members OF the lodge of Good Templars
residing in the neghborhood, are cognizant
of the great improvement which has been
brought about by local option. J says
quoting his language, PLENTY of pine top
or bug juice on hand, Local option is q
failure here" I suppose his object is to
create tho impression that because there
was plenty of "bug juice" as he terms it
another name for bad whiskey, suppose
ON hand at the magistrates court, local
option is a failure. Let US examine his ar
gument and see if there is any weight in it..
There is a law against thieving, but because
it is violated often, especially in commu
nifty of thieves, the law is failure, accord
ing to his logic. There are laws against
murder, and gambling. Are these laws
failures because they are trespassed? Are
all the laws against crime dead letters"
because they are violated? Every man Of
sense will say NO." and would not rlsk
his reputation as sane man to say that
they are failures because they are trans.
crossed often, and yet that is the necessary
result of his argument. J affects to deplore
the condition of the lodge and prophesies its
early death. have no doubt the wish is
father to the thought. The unjust criticism
al certain member and the tone Of ridi-
Guile convince me that he is no friend of the
lodge, and that he would be glad to accom-
plish It's destruction. presume he would
prefer the disorder and decentralization Of
former days, when on Saturday night and
Sunday the village was often pandemoni-
UNI, and the sanctity of Gods holy day and
sanctuary were ruthlessly violated.
The temperance sentiment to- day iu this
section is stronger than it has ever been.
and the last election proves it. The young
are being educated in temperance principles
and firmly believe that local option, which
is genuine democratic principle. has come
lie stay. JUSTICE.

Intim idatlng Train Hands.

SEDALIA, Mo, Mar. 23.-The railway Of
ficinls notified the city and county authori-
lies yesterday morning they would attempt
to run a train at . o'clock in the afternoon
and requested them to have sufficient
force on hand to prevent any trouble. The
mayor had the entire police force on the
company'5 ground and the sheriff and %
deputies taken from the business men of the
city. At 2 p m the train was ready to start,
and a man named VIM. Freeland, a clerk
who was laid of after the strike was started
stepped up to the train and gave the engi-
neer, fireman and brakemen each a note
which read "You are hereby earnestly re-
quested for the sake of humanity not to go
out on this engine" The train started out
and as it passed Nav York Avenue tor
pedo exploded under the engine. At the
city limits tho fireman came down from the
engine and the train soon came to stand
still and then backed up to the yard. After

make another attempt yesterday. Freeland

Another Secret Order.

Boston, March pa rumor has for
some time been current in labor circles here,
that q new secret order resembling that of
the Knights of Labor, and to be- called the
knights of Icdustry," was in course Of
formation. Inquiry yesterday showed that
the report is well founded, number Of
meetings having been held, correspondence
opened with labor leaders, and a preamble
and declaration of principles Professionally
adopted. In q few days perhaps public
meetings will he called and action taken
for the incorporation OF the order and the
securing of members. Mahoney, w. F.
Falls, n. f. Chase, and other prominent la
Dor agi.ttors IRE local leaders in the move
ment. The order will embrace hand and
brain workers throughout the country, and
will work on the same general lines as the
Knights of Labor, but with moro definite
ness upon certain issues. Strikes will be
discouraged and arbitration advocated. A
congress of the leaders will probably be
held in September. The new order is not
Intended to antagonize the Knights of Labor,
but to supplement it, and its promoters be-
lieve that they will have the sympathy and
assistance Of the older organization.

Succumbed to Bullet and Fire.

OMAHA, Neb., March 23.-The Burt coun-
ty tragedy was ended during the night by
setting FIRE to the barn and shooting the
desperate, Anderson, who had killed two
meu, wounded several others, and had kept
at bay an armed crowd of about two hun
dred men for over forty hours. During the
darkness of the night some one in the crowd
crcpt up to shed joining the barn and set
fire TO it. The Gagged murderer, seeing that
he was doomed, fired twenty shots into the
crowd in rapid succession, but hit no one.
The crowd returned his fire with Winches-
ter rifles from all sides of the barn, and the
superstition is that the murderer was killed
before he could attempt to make his escape.
After the fire had subsidized his dead body was
found in a pile of oats. Both arms and
parts of both legs were burned of. A por-
ton of bis head had been shot away, and
his holy was completely riddled with bull
lets. 1t is supposed that he was wounded
in the leg before he ran into the barn, and
hence did not attempt 10 get away from it.
His right name was Allen Wright, and he
was aged twenty eight years. Eight mules,
three horses, three cows and large quanti-
ty OF grain were destroyed with the barn.
The loss-$5 000-the county will probably
pay. Wright killed II. C. steadman and
Charles P. johnson on Saturday, and wound.
ed another mau; on Sunday he fatally
