WILL GET NEW GUNS.
The Ohio Militia to be Armed With
Spencer Magazine Riot Guns: The
Murderous Qualities Ofthe
New Weapon.

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 5.--[Special.]
-Adjutant General Axline is arranging
to distribute among the regiments of
militia in the State the two hundred
and fifty Spencer magazine riot guns.
This weapon for use at short range is
the most destructive firearm ever in
vented. 1t is repeating shotgun, con-
structed somewhat like the repeating
rifle, magazine holding six paper shells,
which contain sixteen buckshOt. The
gun is No. IL bore, and the six shells
can be discharged by an experienced
person in three seconds. The Gov
ernor's guard of this city, a Gattling
gun battery, will be provided with twen-
fy-five of these guns. Some ideas of the
terrible destructive powers of this one
company can be given in an accurate
statement of the number of shots they
can fire in one minute. The company
has two of the latest improved Gatling
guns which fire 200 shots each per
minute. Those two guns are manned
by twelve men. The remaining twenty
five men will be armed with the repeat
ing shotguns which can readily be re-
loaded and discharged twice in l minute.
Hence these twenty-five men can shoot
4,80O :buckshot per minute which 10y
actural test have pierced an inch board
at o distance of 125 yards. This COM
pany of thirty-two men capable of firing
4.SOO deadly missills per minute and
with wonderful accuracy, for the Cat
ling gun can be discharged with far
greater percision than the average Sold
Ter discharges his gun in an engage
ment. 1t is apparent that the mob
which faces this company must either
annihilate them at once or meet with
terrible slaughter.
On account of its fearful destructive
ness the Gatling gun was not used on the
mob the first night of the famous Gin
cinnati riots. The 14th Regiment dis
persed that mob in about fifteen minu-
tes, the greater part of the firing being
done by one company on Court street,
which met with determined oppOsi-
ton, and killed and wounded over one
hundred of the rioters before they were
dispersed. On the following night
however, the Gatling gun was turned
on the mob for q few seconds and the
circumstances will give some idea of its
destructiveness. The 14th Regiment
Gatling gun had been placed in the cen-
ter of the Court street barricade, where
the principal part of the fighting had
been done. At night the mob again
began to assemble firing on the barri-
cade from street corners and the market
house, which was situated in the mid
die of the street about $50 yards from
the barricade. The firing was growing
rather brisk from the market house,
where the mob had formed light bar
l. 1, faru phnto
failing to dislodge them theGatling gun
was manned and the crank turned
about six revolutions, putting shot in
every eighteen inches along the width
of the market house. That was sufii'
cient; seven men were carried from the
market house dead and wounded anC
the old place was as silent as the grave
during the remainder ofthe night.

AT THE STOCK YARDS.
The Men Resume Work on a New Con-
Ht tract.

tract.
CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-At an early hour
this morning the late striking employees
of the packing houses assembled at the
respective headquarters, indicated in
the sheriff7s order yesterday, and ap-
piled for employment. The crowd was
orderly and perfectly quiet. The fore
men of the different houses selected
such men as they required at once, and
the remainder departed, evidently
satisfied that they would be taken
back as soon as the houses were in
full running shape again. The number
of old men re-employed this morning
Is between 1900 and 1900. Advices
Just received from the yards indicate
that no difficulty is anticipated between
old and new employees. ........ ...,
The question as to what extent the
old employees shall be given precedence
over the new is literally discussed. At
the packers meeting yesterday after
noon the situation was discussed in the
light of the strike being declared off.
Ali took Mr.. Powderly's order to the
men to 90 to work calmly, but were
plainly gratified by it. All, however,
were unanimous in the declaration that
no new man should be discharged to
make room for an old one.
The determination was expressed
that only those should be taken back
who were desired by the employers.
"There is not room now for all the old
men," said Mr.. Hately, after the meet
ing. II have some new men that are
about equal to the old, and, besides,
there are not enough of animals on
hand to start up with full force. 1t
will take me several days to get ready
for complete work."
Other packers expressed like opin-
ions, and while all said they would
cheerfully take back all the old men they
could use, none of them believed that
many of them would be immediately
wanted. t,..
All the strikers taken back are COM
pelled to sign paper in which they
agree not to leave their work without
giving their employers two weeks no
tice, and on the other hand the packers
agree not to discharge any of their men
without giving them two weeks no
tice. To still further bind the men to
the agreement, each one is required to
deposit $50 with his employer, this sum
to be taken gradually out of the wages.

Washington GLADDEN. is of New England
ancestry. His father was a school teacher
in Massachusetts,, and very strict and puri-
tanical He removed to Potts county, Pa,
and there Washington was born in February,
1886. The boy had no advantages, as the
world would look at it; he had every ad-
vantage in the true, large way Of looking at
things. He had health, a strong, lively
brain, and spirit full of hope and ambition.
He had, too, the priceless endowment of that
sunny good humor which will carry its pos
SCISSOR over all the rough places in life as on
wings.
Besides his poverty, he was very early left
fatherless. There seemed nobody to help
him. His mother removed to farm near
Oswego, N. ", soon after his fathers death
The boy did farm work in summer and went
to the public school in winter. Many of the
best and greatest men of America took Their
rise in just that way, as barefoot farm lads

From the farm young GLADDEN. gravitated
to the newspaper Office. When only IS years
old he was a reporter on The Oswego Gazette
But it occurred to him here that a young man
who had figure to cut in the world needed
more education than he had, as far as he had
got He began to prepare himself for college,
therefore, spending his spare time and money
for this purpose. If the young men and girls
who must turn out early to work for their
living knew how much they could learn just
by staying at home evenings and putting an
hour or two of spare time into intellectual
work, drawing, music, languages, mathe-
matics or science, there would be far more
successful people, and they would spring
from the ranks of workingmen and women
as they ought to.
GLADDEN. continued his studies, and entered
Williams college, Mass. That was the college
where Garfield was graduated, working his
way through as GLADDEN. did. D6ring his
college course GLADDEN. was newspaper cor
respondent, writing letters for The Spring
field Republican and one of the editors of The
Williams Quarterly.

somewhat the struggling masses for whom
his tongue and pen have ever worked so
bravely.
The wide awake preacher lives in the city
of Columbus in the plain, comfortable house
which appears herewith.
His largest fame is as writer. He was
editor of The New York Independent for

published books
Some of his best known writings have ap-

1t is clear that the party and the
administration are not in sentimental
cohesion and scarcely in mechanical
combination. Here, for instance, is
a keen, calculating politician, Con-
gresham Oates, of Alabama, saying
that "Cleyeland hasn't a smell of n
chance for denomination, aud the
Gnly other Eastern man mentioned
Is Governor Hill" This means i'm
effect that no Eastern Democrat
stands a chance of being the Demo-
cratic candidate the next time, as
Hill is scarcely conceivable possi-
bility. The Governorship of New
York is believed to be too blg for
Hill, and if that be so, it. is absurd,
unless in a jocose way, to speak of
him for the Presidency. At the
same time the "CariisIe movement"
as 1t is called, is gaining headway.
and it looks as if the Democrats who
believe in thoroughly distinctive
Democrats principles were inclined
to nominate Democrat of their way
of thinking for the Presidency the
next time.
