John Raynes lost pocket book containing

As the family are in needy circumstances (his
mother being a widow)it is hoped that any one
finding the same will restore it to its owner
Deer Isle Gazette.
The first sentence In the above local is, no
doubt, a fact well stated, but the last one seems
altogether supehuous and unnecessary. If the
finder Of the lost pocket-book is not honest
enough to return the property to its owner,
though that owner be rich as Jay Gould, the
finder is too dishonest and heartless to be
moved by any such appeals as ''needy circum-

A Labor Contract Bill ProVokes
Considerable Discussion.
Special to ommercial Herald,


JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 16.-On the
assembling of the house this morning
the bill entitled an TACT in relation to
contracts for labor" was taken up and
its discussion consumed the entire ses'
sion. The bill provides that if any
employe shall qlit the service of the
landlord, without just cause, any debt
due the landlord by the employe shall
follow him, and if he hires to any per-
son, that person is made responsible
for the debt, II he does not discharge
him upon notice from the first en-
ployer. The bill elected long and
heated debate and the minority,
who opposed it, made a hard
fight, led by Magruder, Gibbs, Cutrer
and others. Upon the final passage of
the bill Magruder made telling speech
but without avail. The points of
opposition was the great power placed
in the hands of the landlords to pursue
the laborer and deprive him of employ
ment without hearing and the
liability of its abuse; that the best
result of efficient labor is secured by
the largest freedom of contract; that
legal compulsion and repression was
vicious in principle; that the true
policy was to encourage contented
labor; that it was inconsisted with the
spirit of the age; that it was discrimina-
tion which the laborer would resent,
and unwise, because the democracy
owed equal justice to all. 1t is not
probable the bill will pass the senate

Cannon, the Mormon. Who Jumped
from a Train, Recaptured


SALT LAKE, Feb. 1.-THE train
with George @. Cannon on board
reached here at s o'clock this morning.
He was promptly taken before Judge
Zane, and gave bond in the sum of
$45,000. The escort of two mill
tary officers and twenty-seVen en-
listed men accompanied the special
train. There was no demonstration
in the courtroom, although the en-.
trance was densely packed. Marshal
Ireland expresses an opinion that there
is no doubt Of Cannon's attempt to es-
cape, and that he probably had confed-
crates, but missed them by not jump
ing at the right place. When recap
tured Cannon was some distance from
the track, and had two loaves Of bread
and a bottle Of water in his
pocket. He fell on his face and
shoulders. His nose was broken and
he was considerably bruised, but not
seriously hurt. Marshal Inland con-
firms the offer Of $4,000 made by Can
non to the Nevada sheriff to let him

New ORLEANS, Feb. l7-There aFe
no new developments in the freight
brakers strike on the Morgan railroad.
AS matters now stand, there is a CON-
plete cessation of work in every part
of the Morgan possessions in Algiers.
No freight trains will 60 out, as no
laborers will either discharge or load
steamships at the wharf. The general
manager of Morgan's Louisiana &
Texas railroad and steamship company
says there is nothing to do but wait
for events to shape themselves, If men
can afford to wait let them do so. AS
to the railroad pro6ting by this stop
page of work, they were welcome to
the fortuitous happening. He
had telegraphed to New York to
stop all shipments Of freight
by steamships Of the line. The Ell Paso
is at the Algiers depot, awaiting to be
unloaded. The twenty men who
agreed to discharge the freight quit
yesterday evening and did not return,
having been intimidated. A great
many would proffer their services If
they were not afraid Of i'll usage. The
steamship Eureka will leave Algiers
without taking any freight, and the
Whitney will leave shortly loaded. The
Southern Pacific road has issued no
tice to shippers that no freight would
be received at the Morgan depot fol

county circuit court, which convenes

to decide as to the merits of a suit for
divorce brought by Ex- Gov. Nelson
Dewey against his wife Catherine
Dewy. The ground upon which the
divorce is sought is deoertion on the
part of his wife. Il will be contested
by the defendant, who, it is understood
will claim that her husband by the
suit for divorce is attempting to de-
fraud her of her interest in certain
property which she claims he is hiding
from her knowledge. The plaintiff
was the first Governor Wisconsin had
after its organization as State in l848,
and was a very prominent man in the
early settlement of the State. Mrs.
Dewy, his wife for about thirty-fve
years, is the daughter Of the late Judge
Dunn, who was also leading man in

Additional Damage bv the Break
Up at ST. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 15.-IE addition to
damages sustained yesterday morning
and evening by the shipping interests
at this point from the breakup of the
ice gorge, it has just been learned that
the government fleet, which was an
chored behind Cairo Island, has been
injured perhaps to serious extent.
The fleet is an extensive one, consist
ing Of three steamers, forty barges,
and about twenty pile drivers, and was
valued in all at about 100000 The
harbor where it was anchored was sup
posed to be the safest in this part of
the river, but the great force of
the floating ice caused all the boats
to break from their moorings
and float down the river. Major Ernst
of the corps of civil engineers, states
that he has received dispatches from
Chester, ILL.,, to the effect that seven oi
the barges have been recovered at that
point, all in good condition. Two OF
the steamers were under full pressure
of steam when the fleet broke away
and he thinks that they will sustain nc
damage Of serious nature. The fires
of the third steamer, however, had
been allowed to go out, as it was
thought the danger had passed
She may be seriously injured
before recovered. No estimates
of total damage can be made
as only few of the whole number Of
vessels have been heard from. No Sc
rious damage in this barbor has result
ed in addition to that inflicted yester
day.
The Gen. Gilmore, one of the steam
ers, has gone aground at the foot o.
Carroll's Island, with six barges. Th'
, Gilmore is staunch craft and it il
thought she will escape with bu
slight damage. The steamer A. A
Hnmphries is still floating down tn
river without having been injured
: Two of the pile-drivers have beel
caught at Twin Hollows, uninjured
: and rescuing steamer succeeded il
, mooring two more of the escape,
: barges at Chesapeake Island, in goo
condition.

THE statement of the Intetttgencer
that if Robinson had not nominated
Hutton when he did, that the Au-
drain delegation would have nomina-
ted some one (Norton) to repay a
political debt, is certainly libel on
the delegation. The people who
think that Judge Robinson for mo-
ment entertained any such idea must
either put poor estimate on his
sense, or think that the Audrain del
egation was composed of instruction
jumpers. The Intelligencer never
fails to stoop to falsehood when a
falsehood will serve its ends. Such
a statement and this unwarranted eff
fort to belittle Judge Robinson just
now by the editor of the Iatelligen-
Ger, are entirely worthy of the source
from which they come. The thing
now to be done is to work for the
success of the ticket and forget all
feeling heretofore engendered.
