LABOR TROUBLES.

Striking Tunnel I.aborers Kill Five Men
Who Had Taken Their Places
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, April 1l.-Thcre is
serious trouble at Cumberland Cap sixty
five miles north OF this city, on the Ken
lucky line. A courier in tho employ of the
Powells Valley Railroad Company arrived
here to-day and reported that serious con-
hicts had arisen between the laborers EN-
pioyed in building the tunnel at that place
and also between Il lot of strikers and men
who had taken their places. Five deaths
were reported UP TO late hour last night.
The first trou BILE occurred on the Kentucky
side Saturday. between gang of laborers
and a squad of well-armed natives. Many
shots were exchanged: few on either side
were slightly wounded, but no fatalities
are reported.
Saturday afternoon about 100 laborers
employed on the Tennessee end of the tun-
mel struck for higher wages. They
were securing sl.25 per day and
wanted S150! This the contractors
refused, and the strikers posted no
tees throughout the surrounding
country warning all that If any one went
to work in the tunnel at the old prices
they might expect 10 be shot down in their
tracks. The contractors secured a force
of men and put them TO work IN ihe tunnel
yesterday morning. The strikers, who
had been drinking heavily over Sunday.
appeared on the scene early in the morn
ing, and soon as the men took their
places opened fire on them with Winches-
ter rifles, shotguns aud revolvers. Five
laborers, whose names were not ascer-
tanned, were killed outright. The battle
lasted for some time, and several others
were seriously wounded.
The sheriff of Claiburn County, Tenn,
was notified of the difficulty TO day and
instructed to raise posse OF deputies suf-
ficient in number and strength To Quell the
disturbance and take the rioters living or
dead. Officers of the Powelrs Valley road
left for the scene, and serious trouble is

CAUCUS HELD.

The House Dernocratic Caucus Decides
Upon PostponinG the Direct Tax Bill
WASHINGTON. April 12.-The clerk an
nounced the call for Democratic caucus
at eight o'clock last night. Mr. TauIbee
protested against it when there was such
small attendance of members. but il was
found to be in proper form and the caucus
was ordered.
Although the announcement was made
when but few members were in attendance,
runners were sent out to notify absentees
and about one hundred and twenty five
Democrats were present when the caucus
was called TO order.
After many motions had been offered a
proposition was made by Mr.. O'Ferrall, OF
Virginia, representing what he said was
the extreme limit of the concessions that
would be made by the friends of the bill.
This provided that the Direct Tax bill
should be postponed until December 10
next with condition that when IL should
then be taken up reasonable time should
be allowed for debate and a vote taken on
1t.
Mr.. Holman made n speech in which he
declared that the present proceedings were
of the most extraordinary character ever
witnessed in a Legislative body, exhibiting
the spectacle of a great majority retreating
before small minority. He called on Mr..
Oates to state his position in the matter.
into caucus with the expectation OF making
some CONCESSIONS. II he followed his own
views he would consent to no measure that
did not involve the absolute defeat of the
bill. But he was Democrat and if the
caucus decided against HIM he would abide
by its decision and support il with his
vote. This was received with APP
plause. He added that lie favored
the proposed pos:poncment Of the
bill, but would regret TO see the caucus
agree to the condition that a vote should be
taken upon it IT fixed date. Much debate
followed and the caucus finally adopted the
following resolution: ReSOtOcd, That on re-
assembling TO morrow the House shall adj
journ with the understanding that the
Committee on Rules will report u special or
der setting apart Thursday December e, inn
mediately after the reading CT the journal,
for the consideration OF Senate bill 139, to
provide for q refundIng OF the direct tax
levied in 1861 IN which order reasonable
time, not to exceed three days, VIZ, Thurs
day, Saturday and Tuesday, shall be al
lowed for debate and amendment, and the
time for a vote on its final passage shall be
fixed ut four O'Clock Tuesday.

called to Ridgeville, Randolph County, by
the death of his sister, Mrs. John Green.
Today n. b. Williams, n relative of the
family, came 10 the city and he says that
Green ana the rest of the family, three
daughters and two sons, are afflicted with
trichinosis, and have been without know
ing it since Easter Sunday. They at first
only became feverish, then, the latter part
of the week, the muscular twitching pc
cdliar to the afflictIon was followed by
spasms, but the symptoms of what
considered very strange disease by their
attendant was not defined until Mrs.
Green's death, when six of the trichina
were found in a piece of ham the size OF a
pea 1t was expected that the three
daughters will also die and Green and his
son may, but there are more favorable in

Now VS.. ! hen

Our oldest inhabitant delights to refer to the
good old times, but when you pin him down he
reluctantly yet honestly admits that he can not
name an item or an industry that is not greatly
improved in these later days.
Take for instance the article Hoods Sarsa-
parilla. Why, 1T would have been almost an
impossibility to have produced it in the olden
time.
In the preparation of this medicine the arti
cles which investigation has proven to be inert
merit are retained and a combination formed
vegetable kingdom peculiar to this medicine
alone. Their active properties are secured by
a process SO modern and original that an emf
nent professor in the Massachusetts College OF
Pharmacy, while being shown through c. l.
Hood & Co. IS mammoth establishment stopped
and looking Mr.. Hood in the eye exclaimed,
"This is the present, that is the past"-re-
ferring to competing houses.
Another point worthy of mention right here:
Hoods Sarsaparilla is not accident but the
ripe fruit OF industry and study. II was rigin-
ated by men thoroughly educated in the manip-
ulation of medicines and is made to-day under
their personal supervision. II the public could
see the care exercised in the selection and pur-
chase OF every article that enters into Hoods
Sarsaparflla. and the cleanliness and neatness
with which its whole preparation is conducted,
they would not wonder at it's great curative
power or at the hold it has on public confidence.
Its success Is the natural result of real merit
and giving every purchaser fair equivalent for
his money-One hundred doses one dollar.

THE LATE A. C. SMITH,

The death of Albert G. Smith,
noted elsewhere in our paper, marks
the disappearance of face familiar
upon our streets for the past twenty
five years-'an Island boy"-well
known in the old familiar circle
which made up the inhabitants of
this town in the quiet days of the
sixties.
Though q rather silent man he
possessed an alert and vigorous in
tellect, coupled with quiet method
ical ways that told without much
noise. His mental work whether in
private or before the Court, always
commanded respect. But more
than all, we wish TO note in simple
justice to the man, an independence
of thought rarely to be met with.
He very seldom took his ideas
second hand, and always had the
courage of his convictions, even
when the tide was overwhelmingly
the other way. He had his failings
fatal ones, BUT, with it all he re-
tained undimmed to death, his love
of fair play, his honesty. and that
rugged independence of character
that forbid at once the idea that he
was one who in any sense had his
price.
Surely, with these high qualities,
(recognized by all who knew him
welD, he did not live in vain, though
stricken down in the prime of life,
and so with sorrow but respect we
bid him the long farewell, knowing
that in speaking fair Of him in death
we transgress no propriety, but sim
ply give the dead one his due.

to make the most Of IL while it lasts
and get as much US possible out of
it; and as all human nature is weak,
the temptation often prevails.
As our civil service system
has absorbed some of these
Objectionable features, it is to
that extent bad. Reform in this
direction is much needed, and
it is to be hoped that a Government
and Legislature chosen on reform
ticket will consider the matter oi
sufficient Importance for earnest
consideration, with the view tc
amendment.
