Peculiar Business Methods.

American Magazine for July.
1t is a popularity of the Indian of
Ecuador that he will sell nothing at
wholesale, nor will he trade any
where but in the market place, in a
spot where he and his forefathers
have sold "garden-truck" for three
centuries. Although travellers on the
highways meet armies of Indians
bearing heavy burdens of vegeta bles
and other supplies upon their backs,
they can purchase nothing from them
as the native will not sell his goods
until he gets to the place where he is
in the habit of selling them. He will
carry them ten miles, and dispose of
them for less than he was offered for
them at home. We met one day an
old woman trudging along with a
heavy basket of pineapples and other
fruits and tried to relieve her of part
of her load, offering ten cents for pine
apples which could be obtained for a
quartillo 1.-TWO and half cents in
market. She was polite, but firm,
and declined to sell anything until
she got to town, although there was a
weary, dusty journey of two leagues
ahead of her.

BUILDING STRIKE.
Foreman O'Leary Dismissed, and
the Men Demand Higher
Wages,

There was trouble at the city hall
building yesterday afternoon. In the
first place Mr.. Willie Braden, who is
acting as "boss" in the absence of Ed.
Braden, the contractor, "fired" Mr.. J..
p. O'Leary, and at night there was a
distinct grumbling among the men.
Some said this was in consequence of
O'Leary's dismissal, but this is de-
MED. Be this at it may, this a. M.
the men, instead Of going to work,
as usua, hung idle around the site
Major Gordon Intercepted the men
and the spokesman, on their behalf,
demanded $3.50 per day instead of
S1.25 as at present paid. This increase
was refused and the men left. At
noon today if was understood that Mr..
O'Leary would be re-instated on Mon
day and that the main part,
if not all, of the striking
workmen would return to work
at the old rate of wages. Major Cor
don says that the strike was simply
the work of two or three men who
played upon the credulity of their
fellow workmen, and that all will
run smoothly again on Monday.

English Strikers Fly to America.

NEW YORK, September S.-The cot
ton weavers of Lancashire, England,
are ON strike for higher wages, and
yesterday when the steamer Germania
arrived here it was discovered that
among her steerage passengers were
number of strikers. Superintendent
Simpson. at Castle Garden, set
about investigating the matter,
and succeened in identifying IL
of them, whom he detained. They
say the union gave each of them five
pounds, on the condition that they
would leave the country, and they de-
cided to come over here because
friends who were already in the
country, found profitable work in the
mills near Boston. They said there
were twenty-five of them altogether,
but declared that they were under no
contract. They all have little money,
and it is question whether the col
lector can refuse to let them land.

San AntOniO,S DUTY.

The suggestion is made to the LIGHT
by business man of this city that it
is high time that our municipality did
something definite and specific for the
relief of the Florida sufferers. AS
this municipality never does anything
of public character, destined to bene-
fit any one, under the present admin
istration, the LIGHT respectfully
recommends this matter to the imme~
date attention of the board of trade
of this city. The need of relief is
pressing and imminent. Thousands,
too poor to leave, are left without any
means of support, business is entirely
suspended, communication with the
infected districts largely cut off, and
starvation will ensue in numberless
cases unless speedy relief is granted.
The citizens of this city will respond
TO a distress call emanating from
proper channels, and in default of any
municipal action the LIGHT calls up
on the board of trade, always so
prompt and efficient in measures of
public necessity, to come forward and
initiate some movement of relief.

Big Cotton Losses.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. Son
Thursday night the Congree river
rose 10 feet, overlooked its banks,
and inundated thousands of acres of
cotton and corn land. For ten days it
has rained here daily, and the wet
weather has prevented the opening of
cotton, and has rotted the fibre in the
pod. 1t is still raining and cotton buy
ers estimate if the rain continues, %
per cent of the crop will be lost. The
damage will reach 81 100000.

The Paving Bids,

There was a large crowd in the
mayors office this morning, consisting
of builders and contractors, to watch
the opening of the bids for the paving
of Main street and the plazas in ac-
cordance with specifications prepared
by the city engineer. Alderman
Schreiner acted as chairman, and the
mayor and Alderman Cohnor were
present. The bidders were T.
+. Kerr, two bids W.
Scott, six bids; Braden, one bidS
p. T. Shields one bid. Jake Marshall
three bids. The figures were so mixed
up that it was, in most cases, difficult
to form definite conclusion as to the
value of the bids, but the bidding was
close and it was understood that the
lowest bidders were w. Walter Scott
and Jake Marshall, but this cannot be
we'll decided until the various items
are figured out and the relative cost
per square yard is definitely settled.

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER s, 1883.
New Type-Setting Machine.
ON the Boston Advertiser.

From the Boston Advertiser.
An ingenious machine is being
built at the Ames Manufacturing
company's shops at Chicopee under
the supervision of the inventor,
George A. Goodson, which the ill.,
ventor claims will revolutiOnize the
present composition of newspaper.
1t is called an electro-matrix machine,
and intended to do away with news
paper type-setting as practiced at
present. All that the operator has to
look after is the lettering, which is
done as on typewriter, for the ma
chine takes care of the alignment,
which is perfect, and by novel de-
vice for regulating the spacing, the
perfect justification of every line is
secured. 1t is estimated that the ma
chine will take the place of four COM
positors, besides saving the time Of
distribution. The card comes from the
machine a perfect matrix, and all
ready for the metal to be cast into it,
producing the complete stereotype for
the press. The machine is run by
electricity.

A Siberian Prison Cell.

From travels In Slberla.
The room was about So feet in
length by % in width and Effect high;
its walls of hewn logs were covered
with dirty whitewash, its rough plank
floor was black with dried mud and
hard trodden filth, and it was lighted
with three grated windows, looking
out into the prison yard. Down the
center of the room, and occupying
about half its width, ran the sleeping
bench-a wooden platform II feet wide
and 80 feet long, supported at height
of feet from the floor by stout posts.
\ Siberian prison cell contains no
other furniture except large wooden
tub for necessities. The prisoners
have neither pillows, blankets nor
bed-clothing, and must lie on these
hard planks with no covering but
their Overcoats. AS we entered the
cell the convicts, with a sudden jung
ling of chains, sprang to their feet,
removed their caps and stood silently
in a dense throng. "How do you do
boys?n said the warden. 1--WE wish
your health, your high nobility"
shouted hundred voices in hoarse
chorus. "The prison." said the war
den, 'is terribly OvercrOwded. This
cell, for example, has air spaces for
80, or at most 40 men, and 100 slept
here last night" / looked round the
