CHATTANOOGA, TENN.
A Pitched Battle in the Dark with
Burglars.
ESPECIAL TO THE APPEAL.l

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, March "a
very sensational and highly exciting
battle in the dark occurred late last
night at Dayton, Tenn, ferty miles
above here. 1t was learned that a
gang of professional burglars had ar
ranged a plan to rob leading jewelry
house and the Cincinnati Southern
depot and postofIice. The officers
were lying in wait, and when the
burglars got within the building they
were ordered to surrender. They
showed fight and a regular battle en-
sued. Aboutforty shots were exchanged
and the building completely riddled,
but no aim could be taken in the
pitchy darkness. Finally the thieves
retreated, ran TO the river and were
soon lest. The country is up in arms
and on the search.

LOOKOUT. Mr.. McGILL.

The GLOBE has stopped in its onward
course, few times, just long enough to
drop word of advice to Candidate MCGILL.
and every time Mr.. MCGILL needed that
advice he was profted by it, and whenever
he refused to listen, and kept on his way
ward and stiff-necked course, then it was
that Mr.. GILMAN was sure to get the drop
on him. The GLOBE has volunteered to do
this much for Mr.. MCGILL from sheer
running an unequal race with a swift
footed pedestrian like Mr.. GILMAN Now
the GLOBE will stop just long enough to
drop another suggestion to Mr.. MCGILL:
Don't write letters, and above all, if you
will write letters don't mark them ''con-
fdential." There is nothing SO sure to get
to the public eye as confiden-
tial letter. While you are sending
out your confidential letters, assuring
the friends of Gov. DAVIS that you are
going to support DAVIS for the senate, you
ought TO remember that Mr.. LANGDoN is
going to be in the state convention with a
weighty delegation, who will not support
any man that supports DAVIS. You should
also remember that Farmer GILMAN has
his ear to the keyhOle. and knows what is
going on inside your barracks. The farmer
is good trader. and the first thing you
know he will have the LANGDoN delegates
ON his string. And when all these things
come to pass, don't forget that the GLOBE
told you of it.

A CHOICE OF EVILS.

The MCGILL folks are yelling at the GIL
MAN people. charging them with being in
the railroad combination, and the GILMAN
people yell back at the McGILL folks, charg-
ing them with standing in with the milling
pool. There seems to be plenty of evidence
to sustain the charges against both sides,
and now the question is, if the railroads are
running one side of the Republican cam
pagn and the millers and eleVator-owners
the other side, where is the farmer to get
his slice of pie? The farmers vote is in
great demand by the Republicans, but there
doesn't seem to be any special anxiety to
make provisions for the farmers interests
in the makeup of the slate. The millers
and the railroad people are running the Re-
publican canvass and together they are
squeezing the farmer out entirely. 1t may
be that the farmer will wake up by Novem-
Der to a realization of his situation.

CmARLEsToN,s CONDITION.
Things Are Not Half so Bad as They
Have Eeen Painted.

nave kbeeR FaInLeus
WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-Col. Batchel-
der, who went to Charleston. to make an
official report upon the condition of affairs
at Charleston, has returned. He says the
people have everything in their houses
that they need. 1t is true that frail
articles such as vases, pictures and looking
glasses are broken, but these can hardly be
considered necessaries. The loss will fall
principally upon the owners of real estate
and not upon the people at
large. He did not see any
of the pitiable cases of distress
that the papers tell about The business
section of the city is in ruins. There is
scarcely brick house in that portion of the
town which will not have to be torn down.
but most of the people OF Charles
ton live UP III the northern portion
OF the city, and nearly every residence is
wooden. These buildings remain intact.
The only damage they have sustained is in
the loss Of chimneys and the breaking off of
the plaster, making the walls look less even
and pretty than they were before. There is
no reason why the people should not return
to their houses. There is no danger. N0
one was killed III house during the earth
quake, but all those who died were killed
in the streets. No one was killed by
wooden house. but all the dead came
to their end through the falling of the
brick stores and warehouses; 1t would be
good thing for Charleston to have a storm
and make the people get into their houses.
AS for the working classes, the
earthquake is a benefit to them
for it provides them with plenty OF employ
ment at higher prices than they were earn
ing before.
CHARLESTON, Sept. "a very percep-
tible shock was felt here at LOS this morn
ing, lasting about six seconds. There was
a distinct earthquake shock at SummervilIe
this afternoon, but no damage was done.

TOO EAGER FRIENDS.

Ex-Gov. and present Senatorial Can
didate CUsHMAN K. DAVIS is in a
very embarrassing and awkward position.
He labors under the misfortune, para
doxical as it may seem, of possessing too
many friends. Now, it is an excellent
thing to be blessed with an abundance of
friends, but it makes all the difference in
the world how those friends conduct them
selves. There are friends and friends just
as there are wheels within wheels. and it
is entirely obvious that fool friends" as
they have been euphemistically called are
as distinctly disadvantageous as discreet
friends are desirable. Mr.. DAVIS seems
to be inflicted with ali undue proportion of
the former and very small sprinkling Of
the latter variety. 1t has been his good
fortune to build up for himself among many
people throughout the state a regard
which they are anxious to show
in his election to the United States senate.
He has thus political as we'll as personal
following which. in the eyes Of less favored
and equally ambitious candidates for other
political preferment, seems wellnigh all
powerful. They are anxious to shine in
the ex-governor's reflected glory as a means
OF their own advancement. and they are not
particularly heedful of THAT may befau
their cherished friends prospects in the
process. When both GILMAN and MCGILL
find it necessary to bolster up their respec-
tEe gubernatOrial canvasses by making
their friendship for DAVIS the basis of their
claims for the nomination, it is self con-
fession that they realize their lack of any
personal merit which would entitIe them to
consideration at the hands of the
people, a view of the case which
does more credit to their judgment
than to their persistence. But in the self
ish regard for the furtherance of their own
candidacy by building upon Mr.. DAVIS
popularity they belle their much-vaunted
friendship. The same process of reasoning
which led them to conclude that the use of
the governors name would prove trump
card should also convince them that they
are doing him serious injury, by its asso-
citation with men whose respective record
and qualification will so little bear investi-
CATION. 1t is just possible, however, that
hard-headed voters may see through the
hypocritical pretenSe and visit it with fit
punishment. In any event no man ever
had greater cause than Ex-Governor and
Present Senatorial Candidate CUsHMAN
K. DAVIS to cry, Save me from my
friends"

MIDST THE MADDING THRONG.

W. d. Allen, of Fargo. OAK, was registered
at the Merchants yesterday. Billy" as he
is Familiarity called in his native baliwick, has
been identified VITA the interests of the
Queen City for several years. In person he
looks very much like one of Gulliver's Brob-
dgnagians, aud he has - brain in exact pro-
portion to his body. For several years he
toiled in the Northwestern city at the luora-
tive trade of plumber, and the wealth that he
accumulated through this profession gave
him standing among the citizens, and he
woke up one morning and found himself hon
ored with the title of chief of the
fire department. Billy was given this
distinction, as he was tue strongest man in
the town and could push the hose-cart
through mud hole and make better time
than any other fellow. The Office brought
with it no monetary reward, but the honor
that it bestowed was sufficient compensation
for BILLY" When spring broke and the dry
season came and the mud-holes were dried
up, "Billy" was ousted and weaker man
given the position at small salary.
~
But "Bnly's'' star was sailing high in q
cloudless armament, and he fixed his eye on
a seat in the city council, and he won it and
holds it to-day. He is the most distinguished
member of that body. Towering head
and shoulders above his asseci-
ates, his broad, honest face and
pleasant eyes of blue always attract
attention. billy is not an eloquent orator,
but be always knows what he is TALKING about,
and he does it with neatness and dispatch
He represents the North side of the city, 8
district that is outlying and has not been
much improved, and "Billy' Loyalty fights for
his side OF the house. One night last spring
the council was holding an important session,
at which it was to be decided whether the
North or South side should be given an APP
preparation for improvements. The South
side alderman arose and said that he thought
his district needed the money, as the streets
were in bad condition. and they had good
deal Of malaria last year in that
neighborhood, and didn't want any
more. Billy listened intently until his
opponent had ended, when he arosesaud said:
'Mr. President, the North side wants that
money. Now, here's the South side claims
they've had malaria and don't want any
more. They'd ought to be satisfied. They've
been getting what they asked for all the
time, while the North side Amt had single
malaria or any other public Improvement"
''Billy's'' speech made a hit and the North
side got the appropriation.

NEW YoRK,s BIG WILDCAT.

The city of New York feels very lone
some these days if it hasn't big public
scandal on its hands. The latest sensa-
tional developments, with reference to the
building of the big aqueduct, is the darkest
piece of history connected with all the plum
dering operations that have yet disgraced
the great metropolis. The exposures made
by the New York Sun of the savage greed
of the contractors who are building the
acQueduct in robbing the IaborerS employed
iii their service, makes chapter of crime
which is not only disgrace to the city, but
is shame and stain on the civilization of
this age. The lab0rers are reduced to
condition of slavery more calling than ever
befell the African race in the South, and
are compelled to undergo a harshneSs of
treatment, in comparison with which
the servitude of the penitentiary convict
is a blessing. As the Sun puts it
the army of laborerS are starved at a pre-
MUM, poisoned at premium and paid at
a discount. The mortality among the men
who work in the tunnel and shafts Of the
new acqueduct is said to be greater than on
the average battlefield. The novels in
which they are crowded are described as
worse than prison pens. The laborer has
no mere individuality than prison con-
Wet. AS soon as he arrives, the acqueduct
laborer gets brass tag and a number and a
strap which is tied around his waist, so that
he may be as easily recognized as the Sing
Sing prisoner is by his striped suit. Al
though this brass tag only costs cents, the
laborer has so cents deducted from his pay
every time he loses one. But the worst
feature of it all is the systematized robbery
of the laborers by the contractors ring.
They are paid in checks on stores that are
owned by the ring, and goods sold to
them at fabulous prices. If laborer wants
little cash he has to get his checks shaved
at heavy discount, which is done by a
gang of usurers who are in league with the
contractors ring. The Sun says editorially:
''The aqueduct is no private enterprise, but
a great public work, a vast project OF civillZa-
ton and municipal spirit, and it is intoler-
able that the greed aud avarice of pack OF
plunderers should convert it into vast en-
CINE of murder and oppression"

JUSTIN McCARTHY
Given n Farewell Banquet Prior to
His Departure for Anne RIGA.

LONDON, Sept. S.-A farewell banquet
was given to AIr. Justin Mccarthy this
evening prior to his departure for America.
Mr.. Parnell presided. In speech Mr..
Parnell said that America would welcome
Mr.. Mccarthy as the foremost Irishman of
the age and as a most truthful exponent OF
the Irish question. Great Britain's first
duty, he said, was to give effect to the prin-
ciple upon which her own greatness was
based, namely, rule of the people by the
people and for the people, and also, if she
pleased, to guarantee fair play to the Prot
estant community in Ireland, though he
doubted that there were many who feared
the Protestants would not have fair play.
A majority of the Liberal party had sup
ported the Irish bill and he hoped with
weapons of legality to enable Ireland to
take the position for which God had destined
her. Mr.. Mccarthy said he was not going
to America on a political mission, but
merely to pay a friendly visit as he was
extremely fond of Americans,
In conclusion, Mr.. Parnell said there was
nothing to fear from the Tory government.
He was confident that the Irish question
would soon arrive at peaceful and happy
issue. Prolonged cheers. When Mr..
Mccarthy rose to respond he was warmly
welcomed. He gracefully acknowledged
the compliment that had been paid him,
and promised never 10 abandon the cause
of ireland.
FIFTY-FrvE GUESTS WERE PRESENT,
including several ladies. Mr.. Parnell. in
proposing Mr.. McCarthy's health, paid that
gentleman warm tribute for the fearless
manner in which he had risked his high
literary reputation during the past eight
years by espousing the cause OF his
country's freedom. 1t was good thing
for Ireland, he said, that men like Nc
earthly were willing to use their energies
and talents in her behalf. The question

BOND REDEMPTION.
The Treasury Officials Pleased
with the Success of Their Last

The Treasury Officials Pleased
with the success of Their Last
Scheme.
WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-The treasury
officials are pleased with the success that
has thus far attended the invitation to
holders of 3 per cent. bonds to surrender
them for redemption. OF the $40, 600. 600
included in this new form of call, about
81, 600, 900 has been presented for redemp-
ton. The purpose of the new departure
was to obtain bonds for redemption from
individuals and corporations willing to con-
vert them into cash to use in more profta-
BILE investments. and thus obviate the ne
cessity of calling those held by national
banks, thereby forcing a surrender of the
national bank currency. The bonds re-
deemed under the treasury invitation were
surrendered by private parties. 1t is not
expected that the entire $40. 600. 900 will be
surrendered within the time specified, but
whatever amount is thus presented will
save the bonds of the banks. 1t is pro-
posed to continue this policy of inviting the
surrender of per cent. bonds, and it is
probable that rule will be adopted under
which holders of such bonds may present
them at any time and have them redeemed
with accrued interest to the day of redemp-
ton.

1erdaY.sA Deer Shot Near the Inn.

SARANAC Inn, n. Y, Sept 6.-Little
has been done by the members of the presi-
dents party to-day beside resting comfort
ably in the shade and recovering from the
fatigue of their long carriage drive. To-
day Sandown, the presidents guide, per-
suaded him to make trip to Turtle pond
in the belief that salmon, trout or two
might be beguiled into taking the hook.
For once the guides predictions were
not verified. Trout no longer rise to the
fly and trolling will continue to yield I'M
satisfactory results so long as the water is
as warm as it now is. Mrs Cleveland and
Mrs. Folsom busted themselves in the
afternoon in afiXing their auto
graphs to the birck bark albums
of the ladies whose acquaintance
they have made at Saranac Inn. The
covers and the leaves of these albums are
shaped like the leaf of the maple or birch
or some other forest tree. and are bound
together at the stems with a piece of rib
bon. They make souvenir much sought
after. If the necessary arrangements can
be made deer hunt will probably take
place here this week, the president and his
friends stationing themselves at the various
lakes between here and Paul Smiths. The
guides all say that this is good hunting
ground and that the president is likely to
get another buck A fine buck was shot
on the opposite shore of the upper Saranac
lake within plain view of the presidents

New York, on Tuesday morning.

and thinks that he has discovered grand
conspiracy, with its headquarters in the
New York aqueduct, and its qualifications
extending throughout the entire nation,
even down to the ward primaries in local
political contest here in st. Paul. The
gigantic aqueduct steal, which is now the
sensation of New York, is made the basis
Of this political conspiracy, according to
Mr. DoNNELI.Y's Interpretation. He
charges that Gov HILL is at the head of
the conspiracy, and is responsible for
the aqueduct ring. This is a grave
charge against the popular young Demo-
cratic leader in the Empire state. But the
gravity of the charge is intensified when it
is alleged that the Minnesota Democratic
politicians are in league with the acqueduct
conspirators. Nor does Mr. CLEVELAN ND
escape; for the Sage of Nininger alleges
that the president vetoed the Manitoba
land grant bill because he had been made
aware of the deal which was being made by
the two HILLS--the one from New York
and the other from Minnesota-whereby
the president is to be defeated for renOmi-
nation. To say the least of it, this brings
into question the presidents sincerity and
honesty of purpose, and is SO entirely at
variance with Mr.. CLEvELAND's reputa-
ton that the whole story viii be received
with good many grains of salt in it.
