DIR. Mcssuire Honored.

At the recent session Of the Ameri
can Surgical Association held at Wash.
ington, ID. g., DR.. Hunter Mcclure, Of
this city, was elected its president--the
most exalted honor he has ever re-
ceived. and one Of the greatest profes-
sioDal distinctions to be achieved in this
country. The Association consists OIL
about one hundred surgeons, repre-
senting the chief cities Of the United
States. No one can become a member
unless he is distinguished as a writer,
teacher, or practitioner.
The compliment bestowed upon DR..
Mcclure was all the greater because be
was elected in his absence, imperative
business depriving him of the pleasure
OF attending its sessions.
DR.. Mcclure first came into great
public notice as the medical director OF
StoDewall Jackson's corps. lie was
the personal friend and confdant OF
Jackson, and attended him in his last
hours. Since the war the Doctor has
been vice president Of the international
Medical Congress, president Of the Vir-
ginia Medical Society, president Of the
Association of Medical Officers of the
Confederate States Army and Navy,
vice-president Of the American Medical
Association, &C., and is also emeritus
professor Of Surgery in the Medical Col
lege here, and is the founder Of St.
Luke's Home, one of the most success
full private hospitals in the South.

a srRIxE ALL ALONG TIE HEw-RrvxR
VALLEY.
What the Operators Claim Some Of the
Kanswba-valley Mines Still
Working-Loss.
Especial Telegram % tn. p,.p..eh. !

CHARLESTON, W. VA, May L.
The discomfort which has been brewing
among the miners Of the kanswha and
New.River Valleys since the first Of the
year eliminated to-day in Q strike by
those of the latter Valley II had been
thought that those of the former who
have not already done so would strike
to-day, but at meeting held this morn
ing it was decided to continue to work
for the present.
BY the strike Of the New-river men
all the mines between Kanawha Falls
and Hinton, q distance Of fifty miles,
are closed except that Of the Longdale
Iron and Coal Company, which does
not employ union men. The number
Of mines thus far closed is nineteen,
employing an average Of rs men. The
demands made by the miners, which
we're given in my dispatch Of April
Goth. were such that the operators were
unable to comply with, on account,
they say, Of the price which they are
compelled to accept for their Goals.
All the coal from the New-riyer dis
trict is bought by the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway Company, who are COM
PEELED to pay such price for it
as will enable them to put it on the
market at a. cost not greater
than that off competing mines.
The price SO paid is, the company
say. only enough to allow q small
profit to the operator and not enough
to permit him to add more to the cost
of production. The miners of the Black
Band Iron Coal Company's mines,
which are situated on Davis's creek, tri-
butary Of the Kanawha river, yesterday
demanded an increase Of half . cent per
bushel for coal, and on being refused
quit work. 1t is not probable that any
of these mines will resume operations
before the winter, and the loss to the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company
and this city will, it is claimed, be a
half million dollars or more.

bers Of the Association. The pictures
were taken cabinet-size we're hand
somely set in heavy white mat, a
plate-glass was put over them, and the
whole placed within costly bronzed
frame some by 10 feet. An idea Of
the elegance Of the work may be con-
ceived from the statement that the cost
was between five aud six hundred dol
lars Each picture was taken sepa-
raiely.
The delegation, which reached here
with the picture day before yesterday,
consisted OF w. II. Brown president
Of the Association, Lawrence T. Fell

The Jerseymen who brought the pic
tuTe here have returned home. II they

them, then indeed we are embalmed in
pleasant memory.

Striking for Short Hours I'm Chicago.
lBy telegraph TO the Dispatch

CHICAGO, May l.--Fully five hun.
bred striking railroad freight-hands met
at the Darrison-street viaduct, near the
West-Side Union passenger depot, at :
o'clock this morning. Speeches were
made by two or three of the leaders,
in which they declared that it was the
duty of the freight-hsndlers on all the
Chicago roads to enforce their demands
now for shorter hours while the work
ingmen in all departments Of trade were
doing so. This sentiment was cheered,
ard upon the suggestion Of some one
in the crowd the men started for the
Wabash freight-yards to urge the men
employed there to stop work. The
crowd, increasing in size as it moved,
entered the Wabash yards, and the men
there at once began quitting work. A
complete cessation Of work in these yards
seemed probable. Fifty men unloading
the vessels at Rock-Island and the Lake.
Shore docks, on the river, struck for eight
hours and stopped work. The officials
in the Rock-Island and Lake-Shore
yards were clearing up all the freight in
expectation Of strike among the men
there. The freight-housemen among
the Fort Wayne men this morning made
a demand for eight hours, and will stop
at noon unless it is conceded. The
drivers and conductors on the Blue
Island line Of the West Division Car
Company demanded reduction Of their
trips from seven to six hours, combining
the working day to eleven hours with
out decrease in pay. The company
acceded to the demands without any
parleyiDg. Two hundred men en-
ployed by the West Division Street
Car Company in extension of their
lines struck for eight hours. The CON-
pany allowed the men to 60 to work.
The freight-handlers in the Wabash
yards stopped work in a body and
joined the procession, which then pro-
ceeded to Rock-Island yards, where
they induced all the men employed in
there to abandon their
positions. New recruits joined the
column, which next visited the Louis
vile and New Albany and Chicago rail-
way, where they were also successful
in their efforts with freight-handlers.
The procession, which now numbers
some two thousand, is circulating
around TO the different railways. There
IS much enthusiasm and cheering in |
heir ranks, but SO far there has been
10 disorder.

sAKs Il CO.'S NEW STORE.
a Great Clothing Embellishments and
Its Outfit.

Saks & Co. opened their palatisl new
store yesterday. They said they
would occupy it on May the LIST, and,
with the pluck and precision that
characterize them in all their enter
prises, they did so. What is more,
they moved into finished house. The
paint was all dry, the varnish hard,
the almost innumersble gas-fxtures
in place, and their stock displayed.
All WAS newness, elegance, excellence.
The new store is No. 1908 Main
street-where Tyler's jewelry-store
stood-fve doors above Saks's old
stand. 1t has what is called " Chi.
cago 'front.'" The show windows excel
any thing here.
The upper stories show handsome
work manship in pressed-brick and terra.
Gotta, and the windows of great plate
glasses move on pivot to open or
close.
Inside the trimmings and furniture are
all Of cherry, until you get to the pri-
yate Office and the grand staircase at
the south end Of the store. The stairs
are Of oak-very massive and very
broad. At the half-landing or foyer,
the light from the soath comes in
through rich cathedral-glass, and ported
plants set around give an air Of luxury
TO the surroundings.
The basement Of the house is used
for repair-rooms, heating department,
and for display OF rubber goods. The
first or street floor contains the hat de-
partDent and mems clothing and fur
nishing goods. The second floor is
stocked with boys and chldren's
goods, and here also is the tailoring de-
pariment. This room has every con-
veDience for ladies who come to make
purchases for the young folks. The
third floor holds the duplicates of
stock.
Marion j. Dimmock. Esq, is the
architect Of the building, and his good
taste is every whore observable, while
the expenditures seem to have been
made with lavish hand.
