Failure.
NEW YORK, May 14.--Special kilograms
to Bradstreeps agency indicate that the
industrial agitation in favor of fewer
hours of work daily has largely disap-
peared elsewhere than In Chicago. AT
New York 1t has been practically fail
ure, while at Chicago the attitude Of the
manufacturers in several leading lines in
locking out some 1900 employees who
demanded shorter working day promises
to arrest the progress OF the movement.
Supplementary reports TO Bradstreet's
show that within about two weeks there
have been strikes at the leading indus
trial centres TO secure lever daily hours Of
labor. aggregating 100000 employees, that
100000 have secured concessions without
striking, and that not over 1900 Of the
100000 strikers have secured their ends.
This indicates that over 1901 employees
are working fewer hours per day than
one month ago, a small proportion OF the
total number claiming to be Interested.

historical interest, IL being the identical

niger that caused Gen. Lyon to bite the
dust, at the battle of Oak Hill, in Mix
souTi, August 10, 1861. The weapon,
which is an old-fashloned target rife, car
rying an ounce ball, Is the property of

franklin street, in this city. Mr.. Baker
thus tells how he came in possession of
the rifle "When the war broke out, my
self, with large number of Missourians,
belonged to an outfit which were known
a bushwhackers, and fought with the Con-
frderates. On the morning of the Oak
Hill light we were in camp
ters, and, while eating breakfast, firing
commenced on both sides, OF course
there was much excitement, and as the
hushwhackels did not belong to any regu-
lar command we were at liberty to fight
as we pleased. Soon after the engage
ment commenced buShwhacker named
Jim Bowler and myself were standing
near Gen, Raines and we saw Union
u
lance from where we were. We knew
from his actions that he was command
ing general, and IL was none other than
Gen Lyon. He had his hat in his hand
and appeared to be giving orders. Gen.
Raines spoke tp those near him, aud
asked If some one could not
ill that officer, handed my
riiie--the same you see in my
hand now--to jim Bowler, who took ii
and advanced q few steps forward To the
bank OF creek, aud, taking good aim, he
fred, We saw the man fall, and knew
that jim had killed hun. He handed the
gun back 60 inc, and have kept it since,
and prize II very highly"
The rifle Is yet in good fix, and the steel
barrel Is kept as bright as new pin, the
lock and main spriug are well oiled, and
