The majority report of the Payne

the evidence adduced be certified to the Pres

by the Ohio House by a strict party vote-6l
to 33
Prohibition met with an overwhelm-
ing defeat at Richmond, Va, the election re-
sultng in a majority of 5,6Sl in favor of Ii
censing the sale of liquors. The vote in Man
chester, suburb of Richmond, was anti-pro-
hibition majority, G26 The colored vote was
almost unanimously anti-prohibition. The
Prohibitionists carried Lynchburg by
,13S majority.
The Republicans of Oregon, in con-

The situation Elsewhere.

The most of the furniture factories at Grand
Rapids, Mich. were closed on the Sd inst. pre-
paratory 10 the inauguration OF the eight-hour
movement. At Cincinnati the factories en-
ploying about twelve thousand men, were
closed, and will so reinain until terms can
be made. With the other trades there was
considerable commotion, but in many instances
the troubles were compromised. At st.
Louis II great many workmen in the various
branches Of trade quit because their employers
refused to grant their demands for increase
of pay. At Pittsburgh the trouble was confined
to the building trades, and in most instances
where the demands were not granted n strike
ordered, in which the carpenters and furni-
ture-workers will lead. At Buffalo there wGs
no trouble worth mentioning, though the social
lists were trying to foment strife. In Washing
ton there trouble, but, ON the other
hand, rejoicing among the sire et-car men,
whose working time was, in accordance with an
agreement made some months ago, reduced to
twelve hours. The trades, however were ex-
pected TO strike for eight hours. In New York
the piano-makers demanded eight hours work,
and threatened 10 quit If they did not get it.
From Ohio, where the eight-hour law went into
effect, great depression Of business was re-
ported. Where employers were unable 20 get
their men to work ten hours, they either dis
missed them or hired them by the hour. At
Indianapolis all demands We're refused and n
few of the factories closed At Boston the
trades united in demand for eight hours with
ten hours pay, and will strike il their de-
mands not acceded To. At Milwaukee the
employees in the breweries quit work because
their demand for an increase OF wages was not
demonstration, and along the docks there was
considerable trouble on account OF the interfer-
ence of the strikers with the men at work
At Detroit the employees of most Of
the breweries quit work because the en-
poyers refused to discharge non-union men,
increase wages, and decrease the house of work.
The coal operators at Pittsburgh granted an in
crease TO the miners, and everything was quiet,
but in the Monongahela district the advance
was refused, and the men were at work The
advance also refused ut Youngstown, Ohio.
The strikers at the New York sugar refineries
were paid OF. and most of them asked TO return
to work at the old scale of wages. The stone-cut-
ters of Pittsburgh have generally secured nine
hours, but nearly every furniture factory is
closed Two hundred plumbers quit work in st.
Louis and five hundred furniture men in Gin
cinnati. Five thousand carpenters of Bos-
ton threatened TO strike for eight hours
About two thousand iourneymen carpenters
of Baltimore struck fortnight hours work and
pay. The bosses were ready to concede ten
hours wages for nine hours labor The
proprietors of all the planning mills at Evans
Vile, Indiana, agreed to open their doors TO en-
ployes at eight hours work and pay, or close for
an Indefinite period

A GOOSE which has just died at
Stuttgart left the flock, while still q
gosling, and resolved to have nothing
more to do with its companion geese,
but to try new way of life for itself,
SO it boldly marched into the barracks
of Uhlan regiment one day and
stationed itself next the sentry box.
The Uhlans were touched hy the goose
choosing to ally itself with their corps,
and built shed for it to live in. For
twenty-three years neither threats nor
persuasion were able to separate this
bird from its adopted regiment. When
the corps changed quarters the goose
went with them, and when the Uhlans
went to fight for their country the
desolate creature took up for time
with battalion of infantry; but no
sooner did the first Uhlans enter the
town than the goose marched out to
meet them, and went with them to her
old quarters. Since her death she has
been stuffed, and is to be seen in a
glass case on the gate of the barracks
of Stuttgart.
