BARRETT AND IRVING.
A Gable Correspondence.

New YORK. October 29-When Wilson
Barrett first appeared in New York it
was charged by some that Mr.. Hudson,
of his company, who took the part Of
"The Teterarch" in Claudian, burlesqued
Henry Irving This was denied by Mr..
Barrett, who in a published letter said
that Mr. Hudson was a pr0tege Of lrying's
and that Irving had been amused by his
performance of "The Teterarch' and had
offered him a place in his company.
Mr.. Barrett also claimed that Mr.. Hud-
son had received a cablegram from Mr..
Irving sending kindest wishes"
Mr. Irving cables tonight to the New
York Star as follows
LONDON, October 29.-Edit0r star: |
am sorry to be compelled to draw your
immediate attention to a letter from Mr..
Wilson Barrett which have Just read
in your paper of October Is, for the pur-
pose of giving an unqualified denial to
five of its leading statements.
First. The cable which Mr. Barrett
quotes as having been sent by me to Mrs.
Hudson is a forgery.
Second. The only cable which | have
sent to America in this matter was an
answer to one from Barrett
Here are both:
New YORK, October 16.-You saw
Hudson play the Teterarch and praised
his performance, yet your friends here
assert that it is an intentional insult to
you. Please cable me contradiction, that
| may publish it.
LONDON, Oct. 16.-YOu say my friends
accuse you of an intentional insult to me-.
| am sure, dear Barrett all my friends in
America wish you right well, as | do 4;
and ! also feel sure you could not do so
silly q thine.

Two wears ago much dissatisfaction
was caused by the appointment OF deputy
United States marshals, particular care
being taken to appoint only Republicans.
But the times have changed since then
The law requires that they shall serve at
all United States elections and United
States Marshal Scott yesterday expressed
his intention of appointing Democrats
only. The deputy marshals will receive
their appointments upon the recommen-
dation of ward superintendent.
John 5. Wise was rather Disconnected
yesterday when he upon entering the office
of the United States marshal with four OF
his cohorts and requesting their appoint
ment as deputies, found his request po-
litely but firmly refused.

A Very Singular Fact.

After the battle of Gettysburg an officer in
command Of an infantry brigade made a
wager with staff officer in the cavalry that
more than one-half the muskets captured
would be found to have one or more charges
still in them This led to the discovery Of a
very singular fact At that battle $4,000
muskets were taken, of which over 1900
were found to be loaded Some 1900 con
tanned two loads, and 5000 had from three to
ten loads each. In many instances half a
dozen balls were driven in on a single charge
of powder, while in not a few instances the
former possessor had reversed the usual order
and put the ball in first.-Detroit Free Press.

THE UNION RATES.

A TIMES reporter called upon Mr..
Whittet, of the firm Of Whittet q Shep-
person, for whom Mullen was working at
the time of the happening of the above,
and obtained an interview, as follows:
Reporters Mr. Whittet, ! believe your
office has always been a union office? ~
Answer: 1t has"
Reporter: You have never employed
any but union hands ?"
Answer mo, sir"
Reporter: Mullen worked for you as
a union hand, did he nOt?"
Answer Yes, sir"
Reporter: Mr.. Whittet, what are the
union wages :"
Answer sixteen dollars per week"
From facts above cited we have un-
doubted and undeHied proof that Mullen,
while member of the printers union,
and as such obligated to work for not less
than $40 per week, deliberately offered to
work for one-half those rates to obtain
steady work

City Of Richmond, OWL

This is to certify that /, c. a. Bryce, of
the city of Richmond, am the owner and
editor of the Southern CEnjc, monthly
magazine published in said city, and have
been since its foundation. About four
years ago had said magazine printed at
the union printing Office of Messrs. Whit
tet & Shepperson, of this city. At that
time was approached by William H. Mul-
len, a printer in said Office, who stated
that he had not steady work, and pro
posed to me that if | would give him
steady employment and fit up printing
office, he (Mullen) would work for me at
the rate of $50 per month, or Sper week;
which arrangement was claimed by Null
len would work to our mutual advantage,
giving him steady employment and saw
ing me money. To the best of my know
ledge and belief, William H. Mullen was
at that time a member of the Printers
Union"

Is Mullen a " Rat?

The people of this district are entitled
TO distinct statement from Candidate
Mullen as to whether the report that he
once worked at rat" rates is true or not.
The workingmen whom he claims to rep
resent as typical workingman, and one
who possesses the character which good
laboring-men aim to attain, are especially
entitled to hear a positive statement from
Mr.. Mullen that the report is unfounded,
or else he stands as a candidate with a
personal contradiction of his own that
makes him and his claims a tissue of
mockery and a reproach to those who
support him.
We call on Mr.. Mullen to speak one
word, and that to the point, or endure
the implication of very crooked insince-
rity at the time when respect is the indis-
pensable necessity.
Mr. Mullen has the floor.
