Immense Labor Demonstration.

WnKEsBARRE, Pa, April 26-Not since
1868 has there been such turnout of min
srs as occurred here Saturday morning.
Fully 5000 men were in line All the col
lieriss were shut down and the streets over
which the parade passed were crowed with
people The following conspicuous notices
were carried in the parade: 1--WE want
eight hours for q days work and living"
"Our hazardous work demands just compsn-
sation," 1--WE want no strike; let us arbi-
trate our difficulties"
The men were orderly and no drunken
ness appeared. SHOULD the operators refuse
The demand Of the men for eight hours,
which it is believed they will, there will
certainly be trouble, despite the fact that
the men say they don't want strikes.
After the parade the men assembled on
the river commons aud were addressed by
Congressman Brumn, Of Schuylkill county,
who advised them to have patience and
pursue conservative course

NEW YORK, April 26.-The purchase of

COMPROMISED on Nine Hours.

PIrTsBURG, April 26-The agitation for
a reduction of hours, which it had been
feared would have prejudicial effect upon
the building trades this season, is being
ended peaceably BY amicable arrangements
between employers and workmen.
The journeymen plumbers, who had de-
manded that eight hours be days work at
the old wages, have withdrawn their de-
mand and submitted substitute PROPOSE
tion that nine hours shall be considered
days work, with eight hours on Saturday.
These terms will probably be accepted by
the master plumbers. The carpenters,
stone-masons, and other building trades ex-
pect to arrange compromise on similar
terms and thus prevent the seasons work
from being crippled by strikes

The Lake Charles echo. [volume] (Lake Charles, Parish of Calcasieu, La.) 1876-1898, 1886-10-09

Last Wednesday evening, abont 7:S0
O'Clock, some unknown party erparties
attempted to assassinate Mr.. Amadee
Corbello, residing about 10 miles from
Lake Charles on English bayou, which
resulted in the slight wounding Of
COrbello and dangerously, if not IA
tally woundiDg Of his little 7-year-old
son.
The particulars, as far as we could
learn, are about as follows: Corbello
it appears, was sitting in his house
holding baby IN his arms, when he
heard some one from the outside call
his name, and putting the child down,
started to get Up to see who it was
and what was wanted. Butlno sooner
had be attempted to raise from the
chair than he was fred upon by the
assassin, who was concealed in the
yard, with double barreled shotgun
loaded with buckshot. Corbello was
struck by three of The shot, one
entering one of his legs, another
in his shoulder, and the other struck
him about the face, but the little
boy, who happened to be standing
near bis father at the time, received
what is thought to be fatal wounds,
being shot in the abdomen, one of the
shot passing entirely through bis body.
Immediately after the shooting a
courier was dispatched to town for
medical aid and to notify the officers, and
Drs. Munday and McMahon responded
to the call and left immediately to at
tend the wounded. Sheriff Reid also
FASTENED TO the scene Of the dark and
bloody deed to try and capture the
assassin, but after spending all We'd
nesday night and the better part of
Thursday, returned to town without
having definitely spotted the would-be
murderer, bat has by no means given
up the chase, as be has several clues to
work on which he feels almost certain
will finally enable him to capture and
bring the culprit to justice.
There are several theories advanced
as to the cause of the attempt on Mr..
Corbelio's life, but We refrain from
mentioning them as they are only sur
misses.

TIE New York Star, one of the
ablest and most consistent Democratic
organs in the country, says: "The
statement is freely made that Federal
officials in Louisiana are openly Violat-
ing the Presidents civil service order.
The President appointed full set Of
officials at the instigation of the self
styled reforners of Louisiana, who
represented to him that the opposing
faction was made up of INSCRIPTIONS
partisans; and when these opponents
Of the true, the beautiful and the good
began to disclose the weaknesses of
mortal politicians, the surprise and the
exclamations were naturally noisy. But
this latest manifestation Of theirs is
even more astonishing, for in the in
terval the President issued his order
expressly forbldding such acts as the
Messrs. Shields, Craudell and Gibson
are accused of committing. So that
now, if the accusation be just, they are
violating not only the spirit but the
letter of their obligations. We hope
the story may turn out to be untrue.
As the President is not masqueradlng
in the reform business and did not
issue bis late order in spirit of idle
pleasantly, he will be likely to take
notice Of so fragrant case of contempt
as thus reported from Louisiana"
