AN old blue law in New Jersey has
been revived as authority for the ar
rest of q blasphemer, who has been
making atheistic speeches and distrib-
uting a pamphlet containing a double
page illustration representing the
author casting pearls before swine.
Part of the swine are labeled "Metho-
dists" and part Catholics" repre-
senting what seemed to the author
the two extremes. The extremes met,
however, formed a temporary union
for a specific and well defined purpose,
and will put that Infamous pam
phleteer through a. course of sprouts if
it takes all winter.

"BaId-Knobbers., Routed.

About 100 "bald-knobbers" entered the
town of Chadwick, Mo-, on the morning of
the 11th and began raid op the salcCns,
their object being to burst opei the barrels
and pour the whisky out, but while they
were at their work, citizens of the town
opened fire on them, when the shooting be-
came general more than 100 shots were
exchanged, which resulted in stampede of
the "bald -knobbers. 1t was ascertained
that only one man was seriously wounded,
and he was a member of the "bald-knob
bers" gang, whose companions carried him
away with them in the darkness. The at
fair has caused much excitement among the
people in that locality.

THERE is something for workingmen
to think about in the statement of
Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, that during the
past year the members of that order
on ten different roads have appealed
for aid to adjust grievances, and that
in every instance peaceful and salts
factory settlement was made, and an
increase of wages secured. The expla-
nation lies in the fact. as Chief Arthur
tersely and strongly puts it, that, &C.
cording to the philosophy of the excel
lent organization over which he pre-
sides, ''there is no real antagonism be-
tween capital and labor, but only be-
tween work and idleness."

Priest Down at the Altar.
While saying mass on the morning
of the 9Th, the Rev. Father Klowter,
pastor of St. Philomena's Catholic
Church, Pittsburg, was assaulted in
the pulpit by an insane Bohemian
named Keestratrom. The entrance Of
Keestratrom was not noticed and he
quietly walked up the aisle and went
through q side door to the pulpit.
Father Klowter had not noticed the
intruder until he walked up beside him
and struck him terrible blow back
of the ear. The priest reeled and
turning partly round staggered from
the altar to the steps. Keestratrom
followed and struck him again, knock
ing him down. The lunatic then at
tempted to kick the PROSTATE father
but O. number of the audience grabbed
him and dragged him away. The as
sault caused q panic, and q rush was
made for the door. Father Klowter
had risen by this time. however, and
his temperance in hepulpit restored
order. Keestratrom will be sent to an
insane asylum. The Rev. Klowter
was not seriously injured.

sole which they insisted the union should
adopt. This was declined, and the execu-
tive committee OF the Typographical Union
and the Proprietors' and Publishers Union
mel and arbitrated thematter. The union
on the 9TH adopted the newspaper
scale of prices as agreed upon at
this arbitration, but the book and
iot scale is now being arbitrated
bycommittees from the Typographical and
the employing printers unions, and will
probably be amicably adjusted without
any trouble, both sides being willing to rec
og1ize any just claim the other may make.
Heretofore there has never been any recog-
ni.ed scale of prices between the printers
and employers, but there have been some
minor disputes between the printers and
papers, and this scale was adopted for the
purpose of putting an end to such disputes.
The printers wanted 40 cents. They now
receive 80.

Dynamite Under a Oar.

Upon the arrival at Dubois, Pa, of the
mail train north on the Buffalo, Rochester
& Pittsburg Railroad, on the 11th, the car
Inspector, while passengers were getting on
and off the cars at the depot, discovered
three dynamite bombs and caps fastened
under the springs of the rear coach. The
bombs were carefully removed and
the passengers when they learned the
terrible fate they had SO narrowly escaped.
The train starts from Punxutawney every
morning and it was undoubtedly at that
place that the bombs were placed under the
springs, as it only makes short stops be-
tween there and Dubois. 1t is twenty miles
from the place OF starting, and how it was
possible for train to run that distance
over short curves with that amount Of
dynamite and caps under the springs of q
coach is mystery. Thirty-four passengers
were in the coach. Suspicion points direct
ly to no person as the perpetrator of the
deed.
