How it Was

The Express this morning states that
Jenner, the drug clerk, placed Mr..
Charles Campbell-ROsenheImer as asub-
stitute in charge of Mr.. FOwler's drug
store. and then left the city. The facts
are that day before yesterday when the
recent trouble and inquest on the body
of the child Jones were known, Mr.. Jen-
ner requested Mr.. A. Dreiss, OF Dreiss'
drug store, to call and consult with him,
not trusting to himself Mr.. Dreiss, as
Mr.. Fowler's friend, sent Mr.. Campbell
ROsenheimer to take charge Of Mr.. FOw-
ler's business until that gentleman's re-
turn. Mr.. Fowler is now in the city.

The Railroad Strike.

The railroad strike continues the sub
jet Of conversation among all classes,
aud the speculations to the result are
based upon the sympathies OF the rela-
tor. The men about the international
yard are mostly idle, but peaceable, al
though there Is more expression OF senti-
ments than usual. Especially do the
circulars OF the heads Of departments
calling for labOrers come in for their
share Of ridicule. and 1t is safe 10 say
that not many men will be secured here
to take the places of the strikers up the
road. A freight train left for the South
this morning, but none goes North.

The Poisoning Case.

The inquest on the body of Charles
Jones who came to his death by an over
dose of morphine has been adjourned
until Tuesday for the purpose of ex-
huming the body and having the con-
tents of the stomach analysed. The
father of the dead boy has made an atli-
davit before Justice Crawford charging
w. f. Jenner, the unfortunate drug
clerk who made the mistake, with MUIR
der. Jenner has not been seen since
yesterday morning, and although deputy
sherifis were searching for him in all
directions last night, he has not been
found. and it is presumed he has left for
parts unknown.

Knight Of Labor

The Knights of Labor, a few days ago,
called on Postmaster Howard requesting
him to keep the pOstOtiice delivery,
money order and stamp windows open
until p. III. for the benefit Of the labor
ing classes. The postmaster explained
how impracticable such an arrangement
would be with the small staH at present
employed, and as most Of the employees
work on an average OF lG hours a day, II
would be an injustice.

TO the legislature could effect Il much greater
saving to the county by changing the law IN
reference TO the taking OF bonds from persons
lodged in Jail under charge Of triiiing offences
As the law now stands tic Clerk IS required
10 take a good bond from these petty offenders,
and this requirement costs the County from
Il thousand 10 fifteen hundred dollars year.
which could be saved ii the law authorized
the Clerk to take straw bond. ECccnt!y in
Oconcc man WAS charged with stealing corn
from the field. 1t cost that county 5000 to
feed the indicted man while waiting his trial.
ii tnc Clerk had taken the c"iElnai's own
bond the county would have been saved that
expense, and tho man would have been al
some profitable work. ii he had run OF, th"
county would have been saved about fifty dol
