About o'clock yesterday moruing
Henry Arch .r gardner for William Bush,
was attacked AMI badly beaten by three
unknown men at Second and Monroe
streets. MIR. Archer WAS returning to his
home Ia the western part OF the city, and
saw these men standing on the corner.
Just as he Yves about passing them one
man seized him by tue throat, while
another struck him on the forehead with
half q brick, which be had In his hand,
knocking him senseless to the ground.
In falling he broks his right aim in two
places, and the men, after searching his
pockets al d not fiDding any booty fed,
leaving him unconscious. Some time
afterwards a man who wSs on his way to
work found Archer covered with blood,
and picked him up. He carried him to a
house In the vicinity where he wac re-
stored TO consciousness, and DR.. bravo
summoned. An examination showed
that he was suffering from shock, and
that LIE had serious wound over the
lef eye. He was very weak from the
loss OF blood aud his limbs and back
badly bruised. He was removed to his
home about 10 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing and made as comfortable as posi-
BILE, but his injuries are OF very SER
ious nature.

Old Gabriol's Age.

BAN Francisco, Aug. 19.-For scy-
eral years there has boon domiclled at the
Monterey County Hospital an old Indian
known by the name of "Old Gabriel, !"
WHO is believed TO be over $50 yeas OF
age. Gabriel wss born In Tulare County,
but during childhood removed to the
town of Monterey. Father Junipero
Sierra arrived in Monterey la ITO, and II
is well authenticated that at that itime
Gabriel was q grandfather.
Father Junipero taught Gabriel the art
OF cutting End laying stone, and at the
time Of the building Of the first chapel
In the years l77l and 1772 Gabriel as
sst d iu the construction OF the walls.
Gabriel still speaks proudly OF the skill
he acquitted as stoneeutter. Father
SorrentiDi, the priest. and Bishop A mat
reached Monterey some time In the year
1Si5. The fo-msr bays that .Ola
Gae-iel" was then living with his sixth
vile. He was then EAid TO be over ITO
years old.
An old lady by the name of Castro,
who ditd years ago vt the age of 95, in
ttstliying to Old Gabriel's age, said that
wbt Ii a child she saw Old Gabriel and
that at the time he had children several
years older than she was.

bricl YVES familiar figure OH the streets
OF Salinas City, but now he is rarely

ing colors, and for years wore a coat
made of cloth repre-: exiting all the colors
OF the rainbow.

1T Is scarcely probable that thu
proposition started In the South to
make the birthday OF General Robert
Il: Lee national holiday will meet
with much favor outside of that sec.
tion. One branch of the Legislature
OF Georgia recently passed q bill, max
ing his birthday public holiday in
that State, which we suppose II had o
perierct rightto do, but when 1t comes
TO making it national holiday 1t Ia
something else. There Is no doubs
but General Lee was brave man and
an excellent soldier, but the fact can
not be lost sight of that he used all his
abilities, and everything at his COM
mand, to destroy the government that
made him what he was. He received
his military education at West Point
at the expense, not OF Virginia or any
other southern State, but at the expense
OF the United States, and yet when the
lie OF the nation, that had done so
much for him, was In danger, he
trampled under foot the obligation he
had taken to support and defend 1t,
and threw all his influence in favor Of
Its destruction. His example would
have had great effect upon the people
of the South had he chose to exert his
influence in behalf of the union but
this he did not do. 1t was no fault OF
his that this union was not destroyed,
and although after he and secession
was conquered he may have lived q
blameless life, the fact can never ba
lost sight OF that he proved false TO his
country in the hour of Its greatest
need,

A Tax Reform League,

number OF young men OF this city
nave organized themselves together into
an assoc alton to be known as "T eT,x
Reform League" The organ zation al
ready contains over 100 members, and
with proper effort It will soon overreach
lOO0. The membership fee will most
probably be not over 25 cents, thus
bringing 1t within the rccch OF all. Pub
nc meetings are to be held, and speakers
OF both political parties are to be invited
to address the meetings. The following
circular will more fully explain the OBJ
jects of the club:
WILMINGTON, DEL, Aug. 10, 1880.
DEAR SIR: You are hereby invited to
attend meeting Of young men in the
Head Building, northeast corner of

evening, August %, at i o'clock, for
the purpose Of joining an organize ion
now forming called The Tax Reform
League.
The purposes Of this organization are,
In brief: Thorough agitation OF the ques-
tlon OF tax legislation, aud discussion Of
the same at public meetings by capable
speakers, the repeal of the present poll
tax, and other inaqu!t.ble tax lAws, and
TIE passage OF better tax laws. The uses
and abuses OF our tax system, which robs
the county OF revenue Is well as the citi-
zen OF his vote, which alone makes the
government under which wo live u gov
eminent by collectors, and Tor collectors
and their creatures, aud which constitutes
formidable barrier to all business and
enterprise, are too well known to every
Delnwarean to need pecihc enumeration.
Every good citizen IN tie STATE, of what
ever party, Is indignant over and asha med

Tax Reform League offers thoroughly
practical, and we believe, ve.y hopeful
method OF securing to the people this
much-needed and all embracing reform.
We ask you, as a thinking citlzes, to co.

not the contribution OF money, but actual
work within the limits o. your lie sure.
We hope for an organization as large
as Its aims are desirable. TIE cost Of

within the means OF every young man.
Please attend this meeting and bring

COLUMBIA, Aug. 20.-Columbia is con-
spicuous IN the present term OF Quarter
Sessions Court owing to the sixty or more
cases arising out OF the labor troubles OF
the town. Judge Paterson In his charge
to the Grand Jury briefly but forcib!y
refers TO these cases as follows: "The
men had a perfect right not TO work un-
less the wages paid to them were salts
factory, but they have no right 10 prevent
others who are willing to labor for the
price they refused from taking their
places. These strikers have no right to
waylay men on the street, and you as
grand jurors should not allow man who
did that to escape the penalty ct the law.
Some of the men assaulted were badly
used up by these strikers, aud to get eyt n
after suit was brought against the
strikers they have entered cross suits
against tho lnsn they wsylaid and btat.
The Court desires you, as grand Juror,
to inve tigate these cases carefully to as.
certain who the agEressors WERE"
1t is supposed the grand inquest will
find that the strikers we're the aggressors.
1t will take nearly two years to spose
OF all the cases and the costs now amount
to more than 81 200.

The fine air, bright skies, and charming
scenery that have made Cresson famous
havo an added attraction Ia the proximity
of the devastated Conemaugh Valley anu
the ruined city of Johnstown. As Il
starting poiut for an excursion Into this
region Cresson is pre-en,inently the place.
Frequent tra!ns, both morning and q ter
noon. run in both directions, SO that one
may spend morning or afternoon or the
whole day in the valley OF the flood.
There is much to be seen, and one who
has read of the flood without seeing the
flooded section will find how slight a
conception OF its terrors words aud pic
lures have conveyed to him. The Penn
sylvania Railroad Company's personally
conducted excursion to Cresson on August
Goth is Just the opportunity of the sum
mer. The tickets arc valid for ten DAYS;
they include a day's board at the cele.
brate1 Mountain House, and carry with
them tie privilege of reduced rate for

evening the committee on street lighting
were authorized to enter into contract
with the Media Electric Light Company

be able to make legal contract between
