Inc annual meeting OF the old settlers
OF Mover county was held in the opera
house Tuesday Sept II. Secretary
Davidson called the body to order by
few words Of explanation as to time and
place. ct meeting after which he read a
letter from Thomas Gibson the President
of the Association expressing regret that
he was unable to be present. The Dox-
ology vas then sung by Meselomes. John
son Sherwood, Davidson and Allen and
DR.. Wheat and Mr.. Gordon. Mrs. Bias
comb presided at the piano which seemed
very fitting in as much as she was the
first girl born in Austin. Prayer was
offered by Rev. Morse. The Secretary
then read the death roll for the year just
ended. The aggregate number being
nine. This was followed by the ever
welcome strains of America. when Judge
Johnson was introduced as the speaker
to give the opening address He opened
his discourse good humoredly touching
the fact Of his escape from similar duty
in the preceding years. He gave the
audience many interesting experiences
OF the early days of pioneer life, all of
which were heartily enjoyed because
each could recall something similar in
his or her experience when all were
obliged to go to Winona or McGregor to
market the scanty crop of grain and
come home in debt at that The law was
crude in those old times and indeed it
was called the Austin Code. He said at
one time the authorities wished to hold
a session of court but when questioned
as to the need of such action replied that
there was not case to be tried. The
explanation of the answer being that said
authority wished an important case
against himself postponed. The address
throughout was of great historical interest
with enough of the humorous to make it
bright and amusing. After Mr.. john
son Col A. S. Everest was called upon.
He said he had come here to visit his old
friends, and unlike the Methodist preach
er, whose gun is always loaded for such
occasions, he was not prepared to give
an exhibition in Latin or to recite poetry
However be succeeded in giving some
very interesting incidents of his early
experience i'll the Territory of Minnesota.
He closed with touching allusion to his
inability TO meet with them again.
We will give the vice president wheu

A Disgraceful Affair in Petersburg,

A scene Of terrorism took place in front

About 10 80 O'Clock mob OF drunken
men came down the street, firing of rock
cts and Roman candles, and shouting in a
Drawling, drunken manner. When they
reached Gen. Mahone's residence they
halted and fired their rockets against his
house, accompanying their action oy deri'
sive remarks about the general and hurrah-
ing for Mckinney.
"Come out, come out! Dare him 10 show
his fnce!" cried one of the rngleaders. The
company in the generals house was start
led at the noise which seemed to threaten
an attack.

In fireworks in the city, was at the head or

he cried: "Shoot, you--." Tho crowd
shouted again, derlsively, and poured a
volley of fireworks toward the general 8
house
Some of the mob, seeing the weapons in
the hands of the parties within the yard,
realized that danger was imminent and
urged their fellows from the place. by
this time it was discovered that one OF the

threatening TO come out and see that they
did so, whether they wished II or not.
Gen. Malone WAS arrested, charged with

son, but was soon released on $1,5OO bonds.
Gen. Malone said that the shotgun
which he brought out of his house when
the crowd appeared there was not loaded
He tried to load it but the cartridges were

cense, the price TO be fixed by act Of par

John Burns, the leader of the recent sue
cessful lockers strike in London, says IL
has been the means OF raising wages in at
least 200 trades there.
Two years ago there were but twenty
six unions in the jonrneymen tailors' or
ganizatiOn, now there are over one hun
dred; two years from now there are ex-
pected to be at least two hundred.
The boycott that was recently declared
against "a popular diAing saloon of New
York city for drying OF its union walters
was too heavy for the proprietor and he
surrendered after short struggle.
The trades unions OF England are better
supported by the workingmen than the
trades OF this country. One union has
$40, 900 in its treasury.
