Ross and Capt. Charles Mcclure on Mon
day fought sword lcOntest on horseback
in this city. Yesterday Ross and Sergeant
Walsh met in Washington. Mcclure and
Sergeant Walsh are said to be one and the
same person. Walsh was volunteer in
the war and since then has been "a bar
tender in Boston. He and Ross are work
ing the country together with hippodrome
show contests, Walsh assuming various
aliases as the occasion may require. No
one IN the city, outside the interested par
ties knew OF the fraud until the account of
the Washington contest was received here.

THE WIDOWS VENGEANCE.
sentence of the Boycotters who Ruined
Her small Livelihood.

NEW YORK, July S.-Judge Barrett
charged the jury to night in the case of
Widow Langraf, the baker, against the
boycotters who ruined her business. He
told them workingmen could legitimately
combine 10 obtain an increase of wages,
but could not interfere with those who
chose to work for lower wages than they
demanded. The moment that they SO in
tertered they become guilty of as great
tyranny asthat against which they com
bned. The jury after being out an hour
and five minutes found Ignatz Sinzek not
guilty, and the other six guilty
as charged, with recommendation
to mercy. They We're then sentenced from
one to 80 days imprisonment, the light
sentences being due to their ignorance.

uhdpr the above heading, the article
annexed, the main portion of which, II
win be observed, comes from our
esteemed contemporary, the Claiborne
Guardian. Our purpose, on this re-
production, is two-fold, to>wit: to aid
in securing railway facilities for the
people west Of this point, and. seconds
to apprise those interested in building
the Ouachita Valley railroad of the
probability ola dangerous rivalry:
"The Claiborne Guardian says that,
from time TO time, it has. intimated
that steps were being taken to build
railroad connecting Claiborne parish
with ST. Louis and New Orleans. Last
week a'upmber of business citizens,
some non Gibsland, the majority Of
Homer and vicinity, quietly came to-
gethsr, duly weighed the matter, and
after six or eight hours consultation,
1led In the Clerks Office at Homer
charter for railroad, to be known as
the "North Louisiana Railroad"
There waslno blowing or gassing in
this matter, for these men meant bust
ness and only business. They are of
the best men, business capacity, worth
and ability considered, in this and
Bienville parish, to be strengthened by
the standing and means of other
parishes, and of certain counties in
Arkansas. The road mapped out, and
sure to be built, WILDE connected with
q road in Arkansas that will give sure
and quick access to st. Louis and other
points north, as well as direct access to
New Orleans. This road will GER
tainly pass through the healthiest and
wealthiest portion of South Arkansas,
the same Of North louisiana, and also
60 directly through that great timber
region, which, commencing just below
Arcadia and Mount Lebanon, reaches
to Red River. It will, besides passing
through the rich and healthy agricu!-
tural sections Of North Louisiana ana
South Arkansas, also 20 directly
through the great undeveloped iron
fields Of North Louisiana aud the vast
mari and marole fields Just coming to.
light. There Is ship timber on this
route that can be laid down In New
Orleans, so perfect and sound and ex
tended, shat the sh:pbuilasr will re
joice-let alone the other millions of
lumber, not Only Of plue, so we'll calcu-.
lated to make all other builders feel
that they have.good and perfect mater
,iai. Besides, all this country will,
when this road is completed, have free
access to all the markets OF our great
country, and the people, Instead of
depending solely on cotton to furnish
them all supplies, can realize cash in
hand on their corn, their fruits, their
poultry, eggs, butter, in fact everything
they have that goes into the great
demand Of the hungry, working world.
"The charter OF the North Louisiana
Railroad will'bs promulgated in few
days, when the men at the head of this
greatly required road will be published

Another mining horror is reported, this time
from Newburg, West Virginia, where by an ex-
piosion caused by fire damp, ali but one of forty
miners lost their lives. 1t is becoming impera-
tive that some measures be taken to protect
human life in mines. Perhaps science can de-
wise new safeguards; If not, the law must inter-
fere TO make sure that every possible means of
security, now known, be made use of. Mr.
Carleton, the dramatist, has recently invented
an Improvement on the Davy lamp, which is
said to possess great scientific merit, and the
inventor, following Davy example, has refused
to take out a patent. 1t is to be hoped that this
device may prove 70 be OF practical value.

Although Vanderbilt's will was disappointing
Units bequests to public charities it was felt and
said that the death of the great capitalist would
probably be the indirect means of bestowing
notable benefactions on the public through the
charitable disposition of several members of
his family. This prediction has already been
fulfilled to some extent by liberal and Judi
cious gilt by Mr.. and Mrs Sloane of a quarter
of a million OF dollars to the College OF Physi-
clans and Surgeons in New York. to found and
carry on a maternity hospital Mrs. Sloane was
one of W. III. Vanderbilt's daughters, and this
gift is in the line OF her fathers wishes for the
colleges, it will be remembered that he recent
ly gave the institution hall a million dollars
with which TO buy land and for other purposes
The new hospital is to stand on the property
thus acquired.

The finances in Mexico are in a deplorable con-
dition. and are steadily growing worse, as her
United States creditors are finding out TO their
cost Her latest misfortune is the breaking down
OF the scheme to consolidate and refund the
de5t on advantageous terms. Mexico. from the
first, has suffered from the power she wieIds
over the imagination. PROFESSIONALLY her
soil contains vast mineral wealth. but ex-
perience shows that such deposits, however
rich, form poor basis for national prosperity
Even IN California and Australia the mining OF
the precious metals is of much less importance
than the agricultural and grazing interests

We rarely have q judicial scand,

We rarely have q judicial scandal in this
country, although our elective system ana the
political relations of the bench make US pecu-
iarly liable to such troubles. 1t comes as a
very disagreeable sensation, therefore, when a
Judge is arrested on charge of forging and
Ialsifying the records OF his own court, and the
pain Is deepened when the accused has borne
distinguished part in public affairs. The charge
now preferred against ex-Representatiye Harry
White is a most serious one. If sustained it will
send him in disgrace from Congress and the
bench to the penitentiary. 1t is to be hoped
hat he can clear his character from the stain
which now fouls it.

As the District Coznmissioners seem TO con-

As the District Commissioners seem to con-
template the virtual adjustment of the school
board by taking away ali its powers OF control,
appointment of teachers, &c, THE STAR has
been at some pains to collect data TO show how
far this new departure is in accord with the
most approved educational management of the
country. IL appears from this informationthat
the rule throughout the country is that the pub
lie schools are managed by school boards, who
choose their own officers, the supeTintendents
and teachers, and who are independent bodies,
removed far possible from all politi-
cal influences control. 1t appears, there
fore, that the District Commissioners
taking a step backward in educational
ideas in proposing to abolish the school boar
and absorb all its powers and responsibilities.
The project will also be regarded by the public
with disfavor being in the line OF a further
Capitalization of power in the hands OF the Dis
trict Commissioners. Under our anomalous
form of government the Commissioners are
already clothed with very extraordinary and
very arbitrary powers, upon which the people
having no vote have no check, and they should
not add TO the public discomfort with this voice
less, helpless condition by taking from them
the only remaining vestige of representation
left-that OF a citizens school board.
