What woman Did at Thanksgiving.

Last Monday there was notice in this paper
that Mrs. S. +. Pearson, Of the Gospel Mission,
intended to follow In the footsteps of her hus-
band and provide Thanksgiving dinners for as
many Of our worthy poor as she could get the ma
terials for, and in response few of our
citizens sent her money and other provisions so
that she was enabled to provide for seventy two
persons We understand that she carried these
herself into every home except in three instances,
and that not only on Thanksgiving but every day
Of the week she is preaching the gospel and
visiting among the poor and needy. Some Of our
ministers have decided to give Mrs. Pearson all
The help they can, and tomorrow Rev. Frank I
Bayiey, H State State Church, will preach az the
Mission IN the afternoon, and 'wflrbe followed by
others

THE FACTS.
4 Retaliation of the F~alsehood Daily Re-
yerted to IN the Vacuum.

A Retaliation of the Falsehood Daily Re
yerted to III the Vacuum.
The printers who formerly held situa-
tons in the daily newspaper offices are
making great efforts to impress upon the
laboring portion of the community that
the publishers of the daily papers are
making war on their Union, and also on
Organized labor. But what are the facts?
These men made unjust demands on the
publisherS-demands that the business
would not warrant them in accepting.
The publishers asked of their former en-
ploves a conference, which was granted,
and at the meeting the publishers fully
explained their inability to acceed TO the
demands made upon them, and implored
the printers to recede from their position,
to which petition the printers answered:
at we do not receive the advance asked
for, we will on September 10Th cease
work" This demand not being granted,
they quit work. Thus they left their
former employers in Il helpless condl-
ton, and the only remedy left
the proprietOrs to save their property was
to seek Ior new men. The newspaper bus
mess is unlike many other institutions. \
suspension to them means ruin. SO they
went to work vigorously to procure a new
force. They did not ask those who replied
to their call any questions about their re-
ligion or politics. The only question asked
was "can you set type?" They were sue
ceSslul beyond their expectations i'll pro-
curing help, and are to-day in nearly as
good trim as they were on the 14th Of
September, the last day their former m
pIoyes worked for them, with the excep-
ton of holding a few places for worthy To-
cal men if the Union will permit them to
accept. They can fully equip their offices
when they see proper to do so, but arc de-
LAYING the matter for the reason above
stated. Now if there is anything in our
attitude that is warlike either to the Ty-
biographical Union or organized labor we
do not perceive it. The Union withdrew
from us against Il earnest desire that
they should remain with us. The only
war we have is with the bOycotters.

AN CASE.
Suit for Back Taxes Against the Il. Il o.
Railroad Company.

Suit for Back Taxes Against the Il. n D.
Railroad Company.
A suit of considerable Importance is now
pending in the Circuit Court of this cOun-
ty against the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
Company, and yesterday morning and last
evening arguments of counsel were heard
by Judge Jacob in Part Two. The cause
is a suit in equity, and also legal pro-
ceedings, to recover back taxes due the
county of Jefferson and the school dis
trictS therein for the years lS73to 1873, in
elusive, and the amount involved is be-
tween SIS, 900 aud $50, 000. These taxes
have been regularly assessed against the
Railroad Company, and partially paid
by it, and the important question
is whether the State can main
tain an action at law, or whether she must
have recourse to a suit in chancery to re-
V the balance claimed 10 be due, and
enforce it as a lien against the railroad
company. The cases are the same which
were taken by removal to the Circuit
Court of the United States, but were re-
manded back to the lower Court in June
last by Chief Justice Waite, sitting at
Parkersburg. Yesterdays arguments were
on the demurrer to the bill and to the dec
laration. The demurrer by the railroad
company was supported by Col. Caleb
Boggess, assisted by H. N. Russell, while
Hon. Daniel B. Lucas, assisted by Hon.
W. P. Hubbard, for the State, asked that
they be overruled. The decision of the
Court was reserved. The question opened
up by this suit is a new one, and the mat
ter, on that account, possesses a peculiar in
terest for the legal mind.

THE CITY ~REALESTATE.
PLOTS OF THE MARKET AND CHAPLINE
STREET PROPERTY MADE.
The Old City Hall Site ~Sub-DiVidsd Into Three Lots
and the Court House Ground into -Four.
Their Probable Value.

Surveyor Hoge has finished up the work
of measuring and sub-dividing the city
property embraced in the sites of the old
City Hall and Court House, preparatory to
its being offered for sale, and last evening
plots of the land were laid before the Coun-
ell Committee on Real Estate. The old
Citv Hail site has been divided into three
building lots, each fronting % feet 2
inches on Market street, affording an
abundance of room for the erection of
commodious business houses. These lots
ought to be worth S., 900 each, as they are
in a very desirable location for bust
ness purposes. The Court House
property has been divided into o u
lots, each fronting % feet L inch
ON Chapline street. The corner lot runs
back 13S feet to the old Nolan property,
while the other three lots, upon two OF which
the Court Hoese building is situated, while
the third is occupied by the present Sher-
ifs Office, run back about,124 feet to an
alley proposed to be opened up, running
northward from the present private alley
at the rear of the Mendel furniture factory.
There is an offset of some six feet in this
alley, the two portions not coming together
equally, and it is proposed to remedy this
by taking a wedge-shaped slice off the east
end of Mr.. Exley's property, next
south of the Sheriff7s Office. 1t is thought
the corner lot, which is very desirable,
ought to bring So, 600, inasmuch as there is
room for a cOmmodious residence on the
east end of the lot fronting % feet on
Twelfth street, beside leaving a lot 33.1xlOO
on the corner for business purposes. Lots
Nos. = and > embrace the present Court
House building, with n four foot alleyway
on the north side of the building, and
two feet of space on the south, between the
south wall of the building, and the north
line of lot No. 4. 1t is thought these two
lots can he sold together for educational
or religious purposes, and that they will
bring SO, 200. The last lot in the series,
the one upon which the Sheriff7s Office
stands, can be sold, it is calculated, for
about 81, 200, at which price it would be a
good investment.
The members of the committee were
unanimous, last night, in the opinion that
this division of the property was the best
that could be made, and it will probably
be offered for sale in this shape.
