Labor Notes.

Reports now being published throughout
the United States that miners of the Kanawha
valley, West Virginia, have resumed work at
the two-cent rate are absolutely false. 1t
will be fought TO the bitter end. The Marmet
Mining company's miners are receiving as
sistance from other miners at work in the
valley, and will not yield.
Notice has been given the labors employed
at the Atlantic Iron works at Sharon, Pa,
that their wages have been advanced TO the
price paid before the last reduction. The iu-
crease amounts to 10 cents per day, and was
made by the firm without solicitation from
the workmen.
Nearly 500 employees of the American
Hosiery company, near Britain, Conn, are
out on a strike. their demands for higher
wages having been re efused. The company's
officers refuse to meet a committee of the
Knights of Labor TO effect settlement by
arbitration.
There was no tie up yesterday on the
Blocker street and Twenty-third and the Thir-
ty-fourth street cross-town lines, New York,
owned by Jacob Sharp, as was threatened.
The employees have given Mr.. Sharp till Mon
day to make an acceptable agreement with
them.
Arrangements are being made for a general
strike for an advance in wages among the
lougshoremen on nOn-union piers, New York,
TO begin early next week. on many of the
piers the men are paid only % cents an
hour. The union rates are 40 cents an hour
for day work and so cents for night work.
A convention of the coal miners of the
Youghiogheny valley is in session at Suter s
station, on the Baltimore & Ohio road, con-
sidering the wage question. 1t is believed a
general demand for an advance of oue-hali
per bushel in the price Of mining will be
made.
The George Creek, W. Va, miners are still
! out for the advance. The West Virginia Cen.
tral & Pittsburg Railway compauy's miners al
| Elk Garden, and the upper Potomac region
are working as usual for the old rate.
The Birmingham, Conn, Corset works shut
down yesterday. The reason assigned is the
non-arrival of goods owing to the blockade
! on the Gould system in the West.

manned by half dozen policemen. The
mob now content themselves with hooting
and yelling at the police, but further riot
ing Is feared. The police magistrate has
instructed the chief of police to call ont the
militia II necessary, but the chief thinks the
force he has at his command at present is
sufficient to enforce the law. 1t is not the
strikers who compose the rowdy element,
but the worst class in the city, composed of
thieves, loafers and general toughs.
A HARD CROWD TO HANDLE.
Owing to a renewal of obstructive tactics
all the street cars were withdrawn between
and o'clock this afternoon. About 2:3O
o'clock the police had hot work in clearing
Younge street of the crowd cOngregated
there. They charged on the crowd repeat
edly. using their batons most effectively.
The crowd retalated by throwing bricks.
sticks and stones. The police succeeded
after haif-hour's hard work in dispensing
the mob. who, however, cOngregated around
the street ear stables. The police again ap-
peared and, after asevere struggle, dispersed
the crowd. Then there was comparative
quiet. Mayor Rowland has issued procla-
nation calling upon law-abiding citizens TO
preserve the peace and not cOngreate on the
streets. Meantime the mayor and alder
men had met informally and, after discuss
ing the situation, deputatiOns were ap-
pointed to wait upon the president of the
horse car campany and the strikers. AS a
result of these conferences it is believed
that the strikers will return to work to-mor-
row morning, upon the same conditions
that existed before the lockout. The i'm
preston got abroad that the company had
agreed to take the men back uncondition-
ally. and if the strikers are under the same
impression there may be trouble again to-

BROADWAY INVESTIGATION.
One of the BAD Aldermen Publicly
Mentioned.

NEW YORK, March 12.-The Broadway
railroad investigation committee continued
its session to-day. Theo +. Ryan, the
stOck-broker with whom Lawyer Charles P.
Miller had conversation about the two
aldermen whom he could produce who
would tell all about the bribery, testified
that he could not remember the names of
both the aldermen. One of them was Aid.
Fulgraff. Mr. Seward, of counsel for the
committee. then read the affidavit of Ger
trude c. Hamilton, from whose residence
quantity OF silver had been stolen in Janu-
airy, 1885. The affidavit related her expe-
rience in attempting to recover her
property, which had been sold by the
thieves to Aid. Jaehene, who at that time
owned jewelry store in Broome street.
Aid. Jaehene admitted that he had pur-
chased the silver, but stated that it had
been melted and could not therefore be re-
turned. In the way of a settlement he paid
her 81, 100. Aid. Jaehene. who had entered
the room, was then called. He explained
at some length that he did not keep his
money in bank, but in his private safe;
that he had sold his jewelry store because
politics left him no time to attend to it,
that he knew nothing about Mrs. Hamil-
toms silverware, but that, being taken to
task about 1t by the police authorities, he
! paid her the money to avoid publicity.

and the evidence implicated Aid. Mauberret
and Mr.. Brown, secretary of the school
board, as the chief culprits. Five of the
witnesses for the defense were also indicted
for perjury. On Feb. Is the second trial be-
gan and the case was taken under advise
ment by the jury on the night of the 2Sth.
The jury was out only half an hour, when
verdict was agreed on and il was announced
a few minutes after midnight. Patrick Ford
and John Murphy were found guilty of muir
der, and Judge Ford, Caulteld aud Buckley
were found guilty of manslaughter. The YER
dict created feeling of satisfaction, al
though the principal culprit was convicted OF
the minor offense. The execution was set for
Nov. ID, Il petition for communication TO inn
prisonment for life having been denied, al
though paper bearing $500 names was pre-
sented with the request. 1t had become
question between the ''ring" and the decent
class of citizens. aud the former were over
thrown. Finding, however, that the sentence
was to be carried out Judge Ford made
confession that he fired the fatal shot and
that Patrick confessed 10 save him, the
judge. When the day set for the execution
arrived the government granted respite
and set a day in the latter part OF jan
uary for the hanging. On that day
another respite was granted till March II,
when, as stated above, Patrick Ford and John
Murphy paid the penalty of their crime.

More Trouble at Troy.

TROY, n. Y, March 12.-Three mills at
CohOeS, where the spinners did not strike,
have been ordered by the Manufacturers
association to shut down tomorrow. One
manufacturer says that if the spinners'
wages were all that was involved the strike
could be satisfactorily settled, but the man
ufactnrers claim to have knowledge that
the fnisherS, ribbers and card-roOm opera
tives are prepared to submit a schedule of
increased wages, and they would rather
fight it out now than have the affairs unset
tied all summer. The Fuller q Warren
company to-day refused to recognize the
agreement entered into with the Knights of
Labor, by which the boycott on the COM
pany'S store was removed. Mr.. Warren
denies signing the agreement sent on to his
employees by Master Workman Powderly,
and exhibits a regularly signed agreement,
in which he has far the best of the fight.
The boycott will be Immediately resumed

The Mallory Esovcott.

GALVESTON, March 12.-In the Mallory
boycott affairs remain substantially un-
changed tonight. with certainty of an
early change either for better or worse.
Master Workman Farmer and Executive
Committeeman Connolly arrived here to-
day, thus completing the membership of
the district executive board. This after
noon they had private conference, lasting
two hours, with President Sealy of the
Gulf Colorado IL Santa Fe railroad, and
afterwards called upon Capt. Sawyer,
agent of the Mallory line. The executive
board is in close session tonight. The be-
lief is entertained in many quarters that
the boycott will be amicably adjusted.
There is no longer any doubt that good
deal of dissatisfaction exists among the
local knights, who are doing everything
possible to avoid a general strike. The
local papers publish statements to the effect
that several hundred knights, who are con-
tented with their present employment,
would refuse to observe a general strike if
so ordered. This is vehemently denied by
individual knights and officers. The test
vote on general strike will probably be
had some time tonight.

up the fire. She asked him what he wanted.
and he stated that it was daylight and he
had come TO wake her up. She was imme-
after knocked senSeless with an axe. The
boy then ransacked the house and
took everything valuable and fled.

cred hersenSes sufficiently TO get to
a window, and called q passer-by. An
alarm was given, and the people came from
all directions. The unfortunate lady pre-
sented horrible sight her face being ter
ribly cut and smashed. She stated who
had done the deed. A posse Immediately
started out to find the murderer, who was
soon captured with the property he had
stolen. He confessed the deed, and said
that he had been instigated by the negro
woman. who he claimed had the money.
Excitement ran high and the youthful
criminal was removed to Ridgeland for
safe keeping. Yesterday a crowd of citi-
Zens went to Ridgeand and took the boy
and hanged him from gate post until he
was dead.

Blacks Proof Ample.
Special to the Globe.

Special TO the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 12.-There has
been good deal of fear expressed among
leading Democrats that Commissioner
Black could not sustain his sweeping
charges in regard to the partisan admins
tTation of the pension Office, and that be
would have to recede from his position.
His friends and adherents, however, say
that he has a large amount of proof and
that he has had the agents of the depart
ment busy looking up these matters for
some time past. 1t is claimed that Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio will be particularly fruit
full of cases of fraud. 1t is said that Agent
Whitehead, in Ohio, has seventy-two cases
in one county. This sounds very large. but
it is urged further that Senator Sherman,
Commissioner Dudley and other leading
Republicans gave directions exactly how TO
proceed TO get pensions through rapidly.
and that the charges will be amply backed
up. The vicinity of Hillsboro. is cited as a
particularly fruitful field for fraud.
