TIE BOYCOTTERS.

The Conspirators still Doing Their Dirty
Work.
The members of Typographical Union
No. 70 who voluntarily abandoned So q
day situations for twO-day- sits at
81 per day, are still canyassing the city,
urging subscribers to the morning journals
to cease taking their papers. 4 house to
house canvass is being made, and once in
a while, through persuasion or threats, a
subscriber is induced to withdraw his
patronage temporarily. The persons who
are engaged in this unmanly and I'M
American work in the North End will
serve as samples Of the rest. Robert,
more familiarity known as Bob"
Siivey, and George, alias "Poss"
Mclaughlin, are the worthless
in question, and a nice couple they are.
Silvey was at one time foreman of the In
hlfgeneer, and az such was damned by
every honest printer who ever had to work
under him, for his petty tyranny. Protest
after protest was sent to the ptoprietors
regarding him and his methods, by the
~compositOrs, and finally forbearance ceased
to be a virtue, and Silyey had to go. OF
Mclaughlin, the least said the better.
Combined, the two make . fine pair, well
calculated ~ to to enlist the sympathies
of an enlightened and discriminating pub
lie with an uEhOly cause.
In Martins Ferry. mi John r. Klauser
Is doing the bOycotting act. Klauser used
to live on the upper part of the Island, and
doubtless many residents of that portion
OF the city remember him well enough to
render any extended notice Of his peculi-
arities unnecessary.

CIRCUIT COURT.
A Knotty Little Cas- on Trial Yesterday
BEFORE Judge Jacob.

Before Judge JhcOD.
In part One Of the Circuit Court, Judge
Jacob, yesterday, the appeal case of Mar
tin Manion vs.. c. w. Seabright was puton
trial before the following jury: R. v.
Arkle, w. T. Crummie, d. NJ. Thornburg'
Thomas Owens, Charles Wetzel and Robert
Bond. 1t seems from the evidence that
some time Q the plaintiff, Manlon, VINO
was then a minor, went to G. w. Sea-
briqht's tailoring establishment and ex-
pressed a desire to be measured for b
anti of clothes. Mr.. Seabright told HIM
there was q bill against his father for some
$50, including a $50 suit previously OBJ
tanned, and that something would have 10
he Maid on the old account before any adj
d~itional indebtedness could be contracted.
The Young man asked if he could get the
new suit by paying for one previously
obtained. He was told he could, when ne
went home and got $50, returned to the
t~ailor's, picked out a $2S suit, and hand,
ing over the $50, asked for and received %
in change. The clothes were promised IN
a week, but when Manion called,
at the expiration of that time, he
was told sthey were not done. He
returned the next week, but in the mean
time Mr.. Seabright had been waited upon
by a committee of ~nailers, who told him
that Manion twas a ''blacksheep," and'that
he must notsell to him. Taking advan-
tage of the fact that Manion had not paid
for the old suit as provided for in the agree
ment, he having paid but $2S of the $50
due for it, Mr.. Seabright declined to make
the clothes. Young Manion then brought
suit before Justice Phillips for the S2S,
and obtained Judgment. Mr.. Seabright
appealed the case, and it came up yester-
div as stated. The result was that the Ju-
nv, after hearing the evidence failed to
agree and was discharged. The case, al
though a small one, excited a good deal OF
interest about the Court House.
In part Two, Judge Boyd, the case OF j.
and n. Abraham, of Philadelphia, opera
ting the American Shade Company, VS.. the
Etna Fire and Marine Insurance COmpa-
n.y., was put on trial but wa not conclud-
ed. The amount in litigation Is S14OO.

Elwood Israel Suddenly Disappears-An-
other Man Written Up.
For several days past ,,ElwOod Israel, a
cigar maker, has been among the missing,
he having collected sons $50 or $50, blew
it in against a poker game, and then gone
off to wait until the pardOnable anger of
his better-half, to whom he has made divers
promises of reformation, had been some
what allayed. Mr.. Israel has appeared in
this role on several previous occasions,
and the thing had failed to excite remark,
bu yesterday the Erening TdcU"H got
no Id of the item, and proceeded to do it
up in half q column, unfortunately,
however, crediting the escapade TO Mr..
Addison Israel, a church member and n
citizen of well known prObity, and a high
ly esteemed gentleman. The indignation
of this gentleman, when handed a paper
containing the information" may be
imagined. He denounced the FdeHHm
last evening in a rather emphatic way, and
said that aside from the mix in the matter
of names, the article was generally mac
curate and sensational.

circus, drew the population to itself rs a

plant, and the b~rainless negro boy, helped
to hold them. At night the same attrac-
tons were put forth and drew well.
We have an eye IN n certain auburn

Der maid who had gone to clean up the

ewes, holding In her 0utstretched hands q
bundle of bank rolls bound together by
a gum with q green, crisp, new hun
dred dollar bill staring out from the top
Of the roll.
Clerk Harrison tnS possession OF the
roll, which waa about one'half an inch
thick, and looked IL " contained several
thousand dollars. Very naturally he ran
the edges of the hills through his fingers,
when lie was surprised to find that the in
side waS nothing but common printed paper.
He then examined the roll more closely
and discovered on the opposite side q bran
new looking fifty dollar note which was
connected with the one hundred bill mt
the turn ofthe roll. Next to the hundred
and fifty bills were several confederate
notes anu Llc AuOto WV oO hScbAy "ec
ed that any one would be deceived into
believing it was a large package OF bills.
1t is Thought the roll is used to stand
orr a faro keeper. The owner goes into q
faro room, buys probably SO worth of
chips. pulls out his roll and probably lays
it down beside him, saying that 1T will
stand good for the $25. Ii lac wins it is
all right;if he loses he buys more chips ON
the strength of the fat looking roll. In this
manner he has two or three chances OF
winning and no chance of losing anything
except the false roll.
Yesterday the man called at the counter
and asked for the missing roll, which the
clerk handed over as if he never suspected
the deception, and the chap gave no evil
dence that there wa anything crooked
about the matter. 1t is suspieiOned that
that this man is one of those arrested Mt
Martins Ferry yesterday. Whether or
not he was attempting to do up" the
hotel is not known.

A Crowd of Citizens Done Up" In Great
shape Yesterday Afternoon.
Yesterday afternoon a man with lots of
nerve and plenty of CAB did thriving bus
mess ut the corner Of Market and Four
tenth streets. He u the jewelry and
watch racket and scoOped in lots of money
from the innocents. His scheme was to
place q lot of watches, a number of rings,
and other jewelry in q box, then sell it to
some in the crowd, tyinga Japanese silk
handkerchief around the box before deliv-
ering it to the buyer. The latter, OF
course, would not examine the contents
before the crowd, and it is presumed that
every one of them got badly left, but are
keeping the fact to themselves. To
prevent the buyers from opening their
boxes, the chap requested them
not to do so rs he wanted to fix up other
boxes presently and trade with them If
possible. When he had sold all he could
he presented each purchaser of his lots"
with a beautiful brass necklace and fancy
card, after which he drove the horse at
tached to his buggy to the edge OF the
crowd, as he said, in order that he might
better distribute the presents. Then
scatteringa handful of cards among the
crowd, he touched up his horse while
they We're engaged in scrambllng
for the cards, and sailed up Mar
ket street and out of sight, while
the assemblage stood gazing after him with
~open-mouthed amazement. Then they
knew that they were swindled. Worth.
less watches with bronzed tin cases and
ordinary brass rings and chains was all
they had for their cash. The only man
who got a bargain was y carpenter who
was in the crowd. The chap scOOped in
several hundred dollars.
