THE CHICAGO TROUBLES.
None of the Large Packing Houses
opened Yesterdays Strikers Firm.

CHICAGO, Oct. 11.--None of the large pork
packing establishments at the Union stock
yards opened this morning and none OF the
10000 men, usually employed In these depart
ments offered to return to work on the ten
hour basis. There was tremendous crowd
of idle men in and about the yards, but there
were no disturbances in the early hours OF
the forenoon.
Shortly before o'clock 30 of the beef
killers employed in the Fowler packing
house stopped work and Joined the main
body of strikers. Shortly. afterwards the
men employed to load freight cars by the
Armour house also stopped work and the
pressure from strikers is so great that fear
is entertained that the strike will involve all
the men employed about the yards and occa-
sion an entire cessation of work in all the
house,
men was held last night, but no action was
taken owing to the non-arriyal of delegates
appointed by the Richmond convention.
A memorial to the town of Lake protest
ing against the Importation of Pinkerton de.
tectives. many of whom, they allege are OF
bad character, and declaring that their
presence is more calculated to excite and
provoke than to allay and nullify discomfort.
A scheme for a cooperative packing house
was proposed and met with much support.
One of the speakers said:
If Armour persists in his present course we will
place a perpetual boycott on his meats and trans
Ter the bulk of his trade to the cooperative house.
Suitable land for its location can be easily secured
and plant put in operation in few months. we
can secure the very best men in the yards Such
plan could not fail to be an instantaneous sue
cess from the very start.
The knights of Labor offered to place a
trustworthy patrol all through the yards and
maintain it until the termination of the
strike. This was offered free OF any expense
to the packing company.

the past three months have had from $500
to $500 day to pay to each of two publish
fishing firms. In one month they have had
$500 registered letters.
The sale of stamps annually Is from $780,
900 to $4,000, although this does not make a
fair showing in proportion to the business
done, as the publishing houses receive vast
quantities of stamps from their customers.
Last year the Office sold 1,250,000 one-cent
stamps.
The expenses of the office last year were
$24, 1880 and the receipts $5S, ,996.26, leaving
as a clear profit for Uncle Sam S33, 1926. A
nine of these being engaged in separate
building with the superintendent Of the
mailing department in sorting the second
class matter into bags.
But, you ask, now does it happen that so
small town takes rank with the largest
cities in the volume of business transacted
That's easily answered. Originally it was
due to the operations of one publishing
house, the largest of its kind in the world,
more recently reinforced by another only
second in magnitude.
Eighteen years ago E. G. Allen started his
publishing house on comparatively small
scale. Judci0us and liberal advertising has
made him almost, if not quite, millionaire,
with the largest and most complete printing
establishment outside of New York. He has
spent as high as 100000 in one year for ad-
vertising, and annually an average of 900;
gives employment regularly to 200 or 800
hands and has received in one day 1900
letters-the largest single mail ever received
by any person or firm in the world. NOW
you can understand why Augusta has such
big post office.

FINS FOR A STEAMER.
A New Device by Which the Speed-of
Vessel Can be Quickly
Checked.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE MacAdams fins,
a device by which vessel under full head
way can be stopped in its own length indie
pendent of its motive power, were given
trial Saturday. The steamer Florence was
fitted with the device. which, consists OF a
plate of iron attached to each side of the
vessel near the stern. By pulling. trigger
in the pilot house, the plates are instantly
thrown open, and presenting their services
at right angles to the course of the vessel
check its momentum. The Florence is side
wheel steamer, 125 feet in length, 81 feet 6
inches beam, and draws 64 feet of water. She
was running about IS knots an hour when
the plates were sprung, and the vessel was
stopped before she had gone her own length
further She was then pointed at an an
chored schooner. and when about 200 feet
from the schooner the fins were opened and
the Florence stopped after running about
100 feet. The shock on the Florence was
scarcely felt, and pail filled with water
placed on deck did not lose drop. BY using
only one plate, with the aid of the rudder,
the vessel was turned in small circle, and
her course was changed 120 degrees in one
minute.

AMERICAN FLAG HAULED DOWN.
Capt. QuigIey of the Terror with an
Armed Crew Boards an American
Schooner and with His Own Hands
Hauls Down the flag.

HALAFAx, Oct. 1.-THE American fishing
schooner Marion Grimes, Captain Landry
which is detained at Shelburne by Captain
Quigley for breach of the customs laws in
not reporting to the custom house on enter
ing the harbor last Thursday night. was ly-
ing at anchor in that harbor this afternoon
with the American flag flying from her, mast
head. Captain Quigley who WINS on board
the Terror, which was anchored 100. yards
below the schooner ordered captain Landry
to haul down the flag The latter did so but
shortly afterward the flag was again seen
waving from the mast head. Captain Quig-
ley again ordered the flag to be hauled down.
This time the American refused to obey.
An armed crew was at once despatched from
the Terror, who boarded the schooner, and
Captain Quigley himself hauled down the
American flag.
OTTAWA, Oct. 11.-With regard to the
seizure of the Marion Grimes at Shelburne,
N. s., it seems that according to the authori-
ties the vessel was no fined, but
that when the seizure was reported to head
quarters. The officials, telegraphed that if
the captain would deposit $500 as guaran-
tee for his appearance when wanted, the YES
sci could proceed.

William, 2.344, alias Anglo Saxson, 2.314, was
brought to this city by j. W. McDuffee, first
in the fall of 1875 and again in the fall of
1876; a ter his Ringing tour he was owned
by Mr. McDuffee's wife and remained her
property up to the time of his death which
occurred in September, 1888, at Bathurst,
Gloucester county, N. B. He died in as
good stable as there is in Canada, and was
well cared for. The recent story OF his hav-
ing died of neglect in an old barn, near st.
John, is not correct, although for a long time
he was secreted in the country in an old
stable to keep him out of the hands of DR..
George II. Bailey, who, believe, had bill
of sale of the horse which McDuffee con-
tested. In bringing him in from the country
in the spring of 1879 he contracted severe
cold and never was quite himself afterwards.
He trotted his last race in the fall Of 1877
he could go very fast on the road at Bathurst
the winter before he died; he was in the
