AsBhoWing the sincerity Of the railroad
managers In their treatment tof the Knights

spant to the order Of our General ExeGu-

to the mRnRgera OF the several railroads,
offering 10 return the men TO work, and In
no instance would they be received OF

tusing them q hearing or eyading them
with specious subteriuges for direct an,

Hoxie had agreed 10 receive q committee
OF employees IN adjust any grievances
which may exist. lie refuses personally
and through his subordinatea 10 recognize
any of us as employees, and refuses to re-
ceive any but such az he calls employees.
In short, after himself and Mr.. Gould
have conveyed the impression 10 the
world that they are willing to settle they
refuse to settle. Now we appeal to the
candid and suffering public on whom Is
falling all the weight ol this great conflict,
II we have not been deceived enough,

This great strike never would have been,

II should not be expected Of

In this country position makes no man
king or slave and imperious refusal on the
part Of one citizen to confer with other
citizens with whom he may have busl'
cess connections, when such refusal be-
gets great business and social revolutions,
L Is not only mistake but aorims against
the public. Mr.. Gould Is invoking the law
against little criminals who are made
desperate by his policy Of dupllcity and
oppression, and yet q terrorizsd public
does not invoke the law against the arch

A FRAUD AND A TRICK,


speaking to a verbal amendment Mr.,
Hammond, Of Georgia, attacked the bill,
which, he asserted, instead OF being a bill
to protect labor was one to prevent strikes,
In the interest Of the corporations and at
the expense OF the United States. Every
man who believed as the gentleman from
Pennsylvania (Mr. Kelley did, that the
measure was q trick and fraud, ought to
vote against 1t. The House proposed 10
crystalize into statute law something
which nobody said was good and many
people said was q trick to get rid OF the
question.
Mr., Kelley, Of Pennsylvania, said that by
his remarks he did not mean that the gen.
tlemen on the Committee on Labor had
deliberately perpetrated q trick and a
fraud. He knew that gentlemen who
could submit this bill To the workingmen
as provision for the speedy settlement Of
troubles between employersand employees,
were quite too innocent 10 deliberately
attempt fraud or trick. (Laughter.)
WHAT PowDERLr HAD DONE.
Mr.. Powderly had done more to advance
the principle Of arbitration than all the
frothy eloquence that he (Mr. Kelley and
his associates had uttered yesterday and
to-day. Mr.. Powderly's paper had been
read and considered by the heads OIL
corporations and they had said, "lfthis Ia
the spirit Of worklngmen We must regard
It," For many years he Kelley had de.
nounced as frauds and tricks just such
bills 90 this which pretended to be In the
interest Of the workingmen, but which
was not Of any practical benefit TO them,
He had seen 90 many frauds and tricks
perpetrated on the workingmen that he
had inContinently used the words ior
which he now spologized to the innocent
members Of the Committee on Labor.
Pending q vote on Mr.. o'Nell's motion
the House adjourned.

Awful Death. The Terrible
Sufferings ofa Victim Of

Last week we noted the fact of Ma

attack of hydrophobia- He died or

going to press. The following &C.
count of his suffering and death is ia.
ken from the Neus and Courier, the
same being furnished them by thei,
Ridge Spring correspondent:
RIDGE SPRING, August 25.-I tele,
graphed you to-day of the violent
death of Major Lybrand from hydro,
phobia The first symptoms Of the at.
tack were felt on Saturday night last
He was on the streets of our town on
Saturday afternoon, and talked free,
ly upon the subject of the primary
election, soon to take place in oul
county. He expressed himself as be.
ing confident of his own election to
the office of county commissioner, TO,
which be was candidate. He was ap-
parently in the finest health and spir-
its. Upon getting home he exerted
himself gathering in fodder in the
heat. Just at night, after this exer-
;ion, he felt his sickness. He attrlb-
uted it to over-exertion and heat. He
grew worse during the night. DR.. j.
B. DuBose was sent for early Sunday
morning and at once pronounced it Q
case Of rabies He grew worse con-
tinuously, being all the time very rest,
less, moving most Of the time about
the house and yard He could not
eat nor drink, frequently making vain
efforts to swallow He would ask fol
water, and upon seeing it would turn
from it or throw it down. He would
sometimes lie down for short while
He was perfectly rational until Tuesday
when they found it necessary to con-
fine him, which they did by fastening
him up in room. After this no one
would approach him until he was ez,
hausted by weakness Soon after his
confinement, and more suddenly than
was expected, he took convulsions
which followed one after another ev'
cry five or ten minutes, which very
soon prostrated him so that he could
do no harm, and aid could be render'
ed him. Nothing could be done tc
afford him relief. He struggled
through the night until 6 o'clock next
morning "wednesday when he dice
It is strange to say, that, although
he was himself three days, be never
would admit that he had hydropho'
bia, and could not be convinced of it
He always maintained for the past
five months since be was bitten thet
he would never have rabies. He was
a man of very great nerve. 1t is sale
that he never knew fear. He was
gallant soldier il the late war ano
was considered very brave. It was
frequently said by many of him thai
his fearlessuess and high spirits would
ward of the attack and prevent it
His was an unmistakable case Of by

NOTES FROM Bethlehem.

The election passed quietly with
nothing to disturb the peace, except
the very expressive ':howdy you do
is your family well?''
Beulah Academy opened last Mon
day under the control of Mr.. B. B.
Thompson His course of instruc-
ton is thorough and complete He
will prepare young men and ladies for
college, or tit them for the ordinary
rocations of life.
Our community presents liberal in
ducements to parents to send their
children here to school It is free
from the harmful influences Of village
life; the health OF the neighborhood
is excellent, and the society refined
and cultivated.
On last Tuesday night at about
five minutes before 10 o'clock, the
houses, without warning, began to
shake and rattle. Slowly, but with
increasing force, the mane came on,
until the vibrations were too indica
tive Of danger for persons longer to
remain in doors. Shouts could be
heard in every direction. Almost ev-
erybody wanted to leave home. Sew
eral families got together in different
parts of the neighborhood, and a few
refused to go to bed again, but had
general sitting up. We don't think
we ever saw so many as badly scared
in all our lives. We felt nine shocks
during the night.
We have heard of no casualties in
this part of the county, except one or
two women who were scared into
convulsions. 3.
