Rascally Contractors ROD Employees


New YORK Sept. pa Montreal
special says, news reached the city last
night of a serious riot in the company
of Compton. Contractors ON the sec
ton of the Hereford Branch railway,
drew check for 500, 900 from the COM
pany, on account of construction on
Saturday last, and left the country
with the proceeds. They had in their
employ over 700 italian laborers, who
had not been paid cent of the wages
since August, and were in destitute
condition. AS soon rs the duped for
eigners learned of the departure of
their employers, they became despair
ate, and when, yesterday morn
ing. the railroad company attempted
to resume the work of construction
they fatty refused to do a stroke, and
at once began destroying all they
could lay their hands on. They soon
took possession of the village of Sau-
ryerville, and threatened to destroy
it, unless they were paid. A party of
citizens with some Hungarians en-
ployed by the railway company, inter-
fered to save the railroad property,
and a desperate fight followed.
One italian and four Hunga-
rians were killed, and it is
reported between so and 40 injured
people are terror stricken, and have
fled, leaving their houses and goods
behind them. At last advices the
Italians were pillaging the deserted
houses. The 5Sth battalion left Sher-
brooke last evening by special train,
for the scene of the trouble, and it is
hoped their presence will put an end
to the disturbance.

CRANFILL may not be the best au-
thority upon Mills chances, but he is
not alone in his opinion that the great
high priest of Clevelandism and John
Bull has a mighty hard row to hoe be-
fore he gets to the capitol gates. Col.
Jones' friends are sanguine, but they
have work of no ordinary character
cut out for them until the last day in
the afternoon, and they will rest
much easier after the judges of cleo
ton declare in their favor, than they
will before.

it is now in the hands of the full COM
mittee, by whom it will be well con-
sidered before being made public. A
copy was Immediately forwarded SEN
ator Beck, at Fort Monroe, who is to
make the minority report. 1t is now
expected that the bill will reach the
senate next Monday and be made pub

visions save that sugar and rice are
cut fifty per cent, salt and lumber re-
main as they are, and tobacco and al
cohol used in the arts are untaxed.
The bill will speak for itself on being

MEMPHIS grows so nervous and eX-
cited over yellow fever possibilities
that her people are liable to have an
outbreak of the disease through sheer
fright. A case of alcoholism yester-
day was magnified into a case Of
fever, and the whole city was in a
panic. Should Yellow Jack make his
appearance under these circum-
stances, the result would be most
fatal. Keep cool, and don't get rat
tied, is good advice in fever times, as
in all others. Absence of body may
be the best thing, but presence of
mind is by no means to be despised.
THE Rio Grande ructiOn only con-
firms the idea still entertained by
many good Texans, particularly of
the old school, that the day of the
state rangers is not yet passed. The
United State military authorities in
Texas are always prompt to aid the
state authorities in maintaining or
ders along the border, and the mill
tary posts frequently stand as cities
of refuge for the unfortunate, but
faithful officers of the law who have
incurred the enmity of Mexican des-
paradoes, in the discharge of their
duties. 1t IS in the present instance
a case of resistance to law on the part
of the Mexican mob who hold the
town demanding that the officers who
have discharged their duty should be
delivered up to mob violence because
in the discharge of those duties the
renegades who resisted them have
come to grief. The commandant of
the United States forces at Ringold
will hold refugees at all hazards I'M
til the state authorities restore order,
and will also, if possible, preserve
the lives and property of citizens in
Rio Grande city from mob violence.
No state troops have as yet been sent.
1t is sample of border trouble Incl
dent to Texas arising out of her prox-
unity to Mexico.

Mistaken Identity.

d. W. Hitchcock and Frank NJ. Pixley were
in San Jose Sunday, and the simple villagers
of the Garden City were much elated over the
visit of these important personages. Saturday
night Frank Pixley had been making speeches
and had otherwise been making himself quite
famous. Sunday morning D. W. Hitchcock
and Carl Clarke were strolling down Santa
Clara street, when a storekeeper rushed out
and grasping Hitchcock by the hand said
MIR. Pixley, let me congratulate you. read
all about your speech. You are, indeed, a
great man."

cock gently, interrupting the loquacious clothes
dealer.

Who are you, anyway" said the store
keeper, angrily, as he dropped Hitchcock's
hand and began staring him in the face.

sounds of the San Jose church bells were

A Man on the Track.

From the Macon Telegraph, October 49,
Last fight was dark and sloppy, and some
mischievous person took advantage Of it to take
the clothing store dummy from in front Of Har-
vey Suber's auction house ON Cotton avenue.
and place it on the street car track opposite.
Shortly afterward the driver on the car coming
down the grade saw the dummy, and suppos-
ing, of course, that it was q man who wanted
to stop the car but would get out of the way in
time, he did not slack up until the noses of his
mules were in smelling distance. Then he put
on the brake with all his might, and held back
with such force as to nearly break his arm. He
was both surprised and mad at this mans per-
sistency in remaining on the track, and shouted
to him in tone of voice loud enough to be
heard at the courthouse to get out of the
way. The man, and by the way, the dummy
is regular dude, remained. The driver threw
down the lines and, jumping off the car with
whip in hand, went up to the persistent man
and asked what the dickens he meant by stand
ing there in the middle Of the track. Receiv-
ing no answer and observing that the fellow
was dressed in the height of fashion, he was
puzzled whether to pull him off the track or
to run over him. The drivers loud voice had
attracted quite a crowd by this time, and this
made the driver furious. He ran backward
and forward, sud then when he recollected that
he was losing half an hour Of time he mustered
his courage and gave the man a shove. The
dummy fell over in the mud and it was then
that he discovered how he had been sold. He
jumped on his car and whipping up his mules
was soon out Of sight, leaving the crowd to pick
up the dummy and enjoy the Joke.

Women I'm War and Politics.

From the New York Graphic
History is full Of the dangers that attend the
interference of royal wives in their husband s
politics. Reigning queens have been success
full enough. Elizabeth of England, Maria.
Theresa, Catherine of Russia and our present
queen have shown that they can select wise
councillors and guide the destinies of realms:
but the queen consorts of history, when they
have interfered with the politics Of their hus-
bands cabinets, have done a great deal of
harm. Henrietta Maria exercised an unfortu-
nate influence at the court of Charles l. Marie
Antoinette made her husband additionally
unpopular. The last king of Naples was
mrrried to a high-spirited Bavarian prin-
cess, who encouraged his resistance to
constitutional demands. In 1879 the En-
press Eugene declared to her intimate
friends, Remember, this is my war;" and
1t is likely enough that the emperor, ill, weak
and hardly able to mount a horse, would
have deferred the struggle had not his i'm
petuous and spirited consort urged him on. 1t
is sometimes said that the influence of women
on the politics Of the world would put an end
to war; but while they remain non-combatants
we greatly doubt it. They are able to realize
some OF the results q war-the empty chairs
the desolated homes the widowed lives. but
they never see its coarser consequences. Thew
never witness q battlefield after the fight is
won-the wounded, the dying, the anguish of
untented men, the fearful spectacle of human
life trampled IN the mire, and all the grim and
disgusting incidents of the shambles of war.
from the bloodshed Of the day of victory to the
spectacle later on Of unburied bodies molder-
ing in the sun. They read novels and poems
that throw halo around it all; they hail as
heroes the men who return; they listen to the
music OF the triumphal entry; they watch the
waving plumes and the Haunting banners, and
they invest with interest every man in the vic
torious array. tits in this spirit of unreason-
ing enthusiasm that beautiful women on
thrones send brave men out to slay and be
slain-stinging with their taunts the princes
who hesitate, and rewarding with their smiles
the rash kings who stake their crowns on the
issue Of day. Queen Natalie, Of Servia, is
only the last of a long list of nlustrious ladies
who have burned their fingers playing with the
fires Of politics and war.

Judge Hilton Looked Out for Himself.

BIS SHARE OF THE A. T. STEWART ESTATE
In the Stewart will case in New York yester-
day, the expert accountant testified that ac-
cording to the figuring of Mr.. Stewart during
his life, the rents from the 1Oth-street property
amounted to $4,000 year above the cost of
maintenance. Under Mr.. Hilton's management
Mrs. Stewart received only s70S, 2S9S7 in ten
years. The witness testified also that Mr.. Hill
ton had charged Mrs. Stewart S5,O95 for gas
fixtures and coal used in the Stewart building
on Reade street after the building had passed
into Mr.. Hilton's possession. The witness was
asked whether there was any credit in the books
for any cash that Mr.. Stewart died possessed of.
His answer was an emphatic NO." The rest of
the day was spent in going over the entries in
the book known as journal L." the object be-
ing to show the amount Of money that Mr. Hill
ton got outsof the business of A. T. Stewart 4
Co. On June 80, 1876, he received 80 per cent
OF divided profit of S606 ,313.79. That was less
than nine months after Mr. Stewards death.
There was also an additional entry of SAG 596. 80
representing his guaranteed commissions on
open accounts, bills receivable, marine insur-
ance, &C., from April 10, 1876; also $3.50. lG

While September, October and November,
says Dr.. J. Y. Shoemaker in the Medical Bxlle-
IN, are prolific Of typical cases Of malaria, IL
must not be forgotten that this strangely omni-
present disease il capable Of assuming the
most protean aspects. It's three marked varis-
ties-intermittent, remittent and congestive-
are % wen known as to be recognized at once,
not only by physicians, but by the people at
large. There il reason TO believe, however,
that many OF its minor varieties are frequently
mistaken for other disorders to the discomfort
OF the patient and the annoyance or discom-
nture OF mis- medical attendant. The peculiar
poison or miasm Of malaria may attack any
organ or area Of the body, producing conges-
ton and Inflammation differing from ordinary
or idiopathic Inflammation Of tie same region,
only its peculiar tendency to intermit or remit
at certain intervals.
Practitioners in malarial districts are m wall
aware OF this fact that they order antiperiodic
remedies in every case in which they suspect q
miasmatic element to exist. In this manner
they cure in few days many cases Of nialarial
congestion Of the lungs, Pleura, brain and
term pneumonia, pleurisy, brain fever and
cholera morbus or choleraic diarrhaa, and
treat unsuccessfully by administering the rem
edies ordinarily employed in those diseases.
Sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, synovitis,
iaryngitls, perltonltls ana cystltls, may also De
simulated so closely at times by the manifesto
tons Of malaria as to defy differentiation,
except by the speedy disappearance of the
latter under antiperiodic treatment. Astonished
at the good results obtained in so many ap-
parently diverse affections from quinine, many
superficial reasoners advocate its use in all
fnfammatory diseases. It is unnecessary to
point out the error Of that advice. Those who
follow it will soon regret their action. The
purpose OF this article is to point out that the
same mysterious, telluric influences which are
present throughout the greater part of the year
in the regions marked by the dark spots in Bill
lings' Malarial Map frequently and suddenly
appear in more favored regions during the
autumn and spring, and that the cultured and
cultivated North and East might proftably
draw from the practical experience Of the I'M
couth and swampy South and Southwest by
being ever alert and watchful for the irregular
manifestations of malaria.

A Deadly Fire-Escape.

TWO BOYS KILLED AND ONE TERRIBLY INJURED,
While testing rope fire-escape at the Mo-

noon, the rope broke and three boys, James
Mcclure, aged fourteen years; John buddy,
aged fifteen years, and Daniel Maggie, aged
fifteen, were precipitated from the fifth story
to the pavement, a distance of 70 feet. Nc
Clure and buddy fell headforemost and were
killed instantly. Maggie had both arms and
legs broken and will probably die. The agent
Of the fire-escape, A. G. Wilson, Of GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, who hired the boys to come down the
escape, paying them cents each, has been
arrested pending the coroner's investigation.
He Is almost crazy over the unfortunate affair
and is being watched closely, as it is feared he
will attempt suicide. When arrested he had in
his pocket an open knife.

oil be not at hand, use any liquid that is not

finally to Davenport. Two weeks ago Savage
got leave Of absence and started to find his
