LASSWORKERS' TROUBLES.
A Card Published in POugh-
keepSie.

The glaSSWOrkerS OF this clGy, nave
requested the publication in the PIo-
NEER the following card, which was
printed Thursday in the Poughkeepsie
Eagle, the local blowers voicing its sem
timents strongly:
''The impression seems to be current
in this city that the glass blowers are
the cause of the stoppage of the glass
works, and consequently the lying idle
of a number of men and boys, who
might otherwise be at work. Such an
impression is wrong, and the blowers
feel that they are being unjustly dealt
with in consequence thereof: and al
though they have not hitherto felt it
wise to enter into the press, now as the
authorities of the Poughkeepsie Glass
Works have condescended(after alapse
of five months idleness) to communi-
cate to the blowers the terms on which
they, the manufacturers, May employ
them, we, the blowers, feel that the
time has arrived that such unjust and
damaging impressions should be erased
from the public mind. Why has the
factory been kept idle? Why have the
men and boys been kept out of work.
The letters just received by the blow
ers will clearly show: reduction OF
fifteen per cent. of our wages, making
a total of twenty-five per cent. from
the list price, and total abandonment
of all claim to say a word as to how We
should work, which to the blowers
simply means go to work for what
we may please to pay, or otherwise get
out" Now we desire that the manu-
facturers should understand, and the
public should also know that there i:
not the least intention on the part o1
the blowers of Poughkeepsie, to &C
cept any such ridiculous demands.

BRDGETON, N. ], THURSDAY, NOVEMBER N 1885,
MISS MULFORD DEAD.
One of EsridgeGon's Noble women
Dead.

There are very many people in this
city who will read with the deepest re
gret, these lines, noting the death of
Miss Hanna, Milford, u woman most
highly re- ,ecied and who has done
much that viii make her life remem-
bered many, many years. The death
of this estimable woman occurred Fri
day afternoon, at her house, corner
OF Commerce and Pearl streets, where
since the death Of her parents, she has
been living with her sister, Miss Anna
IA. Miss Hannah, as she was familiar
ly called by the many who dearly
loved her, has been confined to the
house by an illness lasting three
months past. The disease was pc
culiar one, and baff1ed all the efforts
of her physicians. During the last
months her sufferings have been in
tense, she being unable to eat any
thing, and all nourishment was neces-
sarily injected. The funeral services
took place from her late home
Monday morning at eleven o'clock
The body was inferred in the family
burial plot, in Overlook Cemetery,
where but a very few weeks since, the
deceased member of her late fathers
family were removed from the Pearl
street Baptist Cemetery.
Miss Hannah Mulford, was well
known in Bridgeton, where she has
lived all her life-fifty-n years,
She was the daughter of the late
Henry Mulford, and Miss Anna and
Isaac w. Mulford are her nearest rela-
tives, brother and sister. Miss Hannah
with her sister, was left with consider
able means, and being a splendid busi-
ness woman, has added to her fortune.
She always took pleasure in work of a
charitable nature, and has given much
of her money for the relief of the desti-
tute of the city. Her plans however,
were of such nature, that all she &C
complished, was done with no one the
wiser but the recipient and herself.
she was d Sreab cuuTcu WoTheT, De-
ing a prominent member of the First
Baptist Church, and has done as much
as any one person toward making the
church the power it has beefi in the
community. Such a woman will be
sorely missed, and her death will be
sincerely mourned for a long time
among many, many friends in and out
of the city.

portion of his clothing, which contain
ed $50 The vest found floating in the

Pretty Good Opinion.

No language would be too strong to
denounce the horrible butchery of the
murderer Hilman, at Woodbury., on
Wednesday,. Most people will blame
the professional executioner, VanHise,
who, according to the information fur
nished us, acted like an inhuman
ruffian in judicially taking this mans
life. He certainly is most censurable,
but it should be kept in mind that q
large number of the best of people
were present, do not believe in judicial
murders. For our part, we think no
good is accomplished by hangings, and
we believe that some other capital pun
ishment should be fixed by law. Yet,
notwithstanding this opinion, we be
lieve in the enforcement of civilized
auL Christian manner of the law as it
is now written. Professional hangmen
should be discouraged. Also the bar
barous method of jerking criminals in
the air in place of simply dropping
them to death of their own weight

a Good Law.

In Pennsylvania they have a law
which makes it q misdemeanor to
''playfully or wantonly point or dis
charge a gun, pistol, or other frearm
at any other person" The penalty
may be fine not exceeding $1,000,
and an imprisonm ment not exceeding
one year, or either or both, at the dis
cretion of the court. In view of the
numerous accidents that happen from
this idiotic custom OF pointing and
shaping weapons in fun at persons, +
would be we'll to enact similar law in
New Jersey.

Indian Relics.

Among the Indian relics, which
County School Superintendent Hamp-
ton has in his collection, is ''banner
stone." This is remarkably rare relic
and was recently picked up below
Mauricetown. 1t is thin flat stone,
about two and half inches long, by
about an inch and quarter wide and
little more than an inch thick at the
thickest part. 1t is shaped like a stone
mason's stone axe would be if it was
made curved instead of straight, the
ends of the ''bit" pointing inwards. A
smooth, round hole is drilled through
itlthe same as the eye of the stone
mason's axe. 1t was badge of honor
and authority, and was worn by the
head chief, suspended from his neck.
Mr.. Hampton's collection of relics
consists of stone pestles, stone mauls
stone axes and arrow and spear heads
of various sizes, of which he has quite
a number. The other day he saw a
stone axe, which came up in a dredge
off the oyster beds in the bay. 1t is
supposed the Indians lost it from a
canoe, while crossing the bay or fish,

Mrs. HamilrOn's Life In Jail.
Mrs. Evangeline Hamilton has re-
tanned Ex-Judge William T. Hoffman to
defend her in the New York courts
when the suit for divorce entered by
her husband comes to trial. Judge
Hoffman is now examining the evil
dence taken in the trial at Mays
Landing, with a view to finding defects
sufficient to have the case reopened.
Mrs. Hamilton is now at work in the
tate prison; she sews buttons on the
convicts' shirts, and is beginning to
thrive on the diet of the prison. She
makes poor needle-woman and sew
er. Her fingers are pricked on the
end because of her inexperience in
handling the needle. She is now of a
religious turn of mind, and frequently
reads the Bible. Her health is grad
ually improving. The other day she
made up bouquet from the window
plants in the matron's room, ana asked
that they be sent to Baby Beatrice.

DEATH OF l.. J.BARKER.
He Passed, Away Suddenly this

sufferer from lung trouble for many
years. and has had severe cough ever
since he was young man. His in
domitable will, however, kept him up,
and he would be about and attend to
the business of his store daily. Sick as
he has appeared, he has never been
confined to his bed a single day, but
arose every morning and looked after
his affairs the same as if his health was
perfect For the last week he has
seemed to be in better health and in
remarkably good spirits. Saturday
evening he spent in his store, and Sun
day morning he arose and dressed him
self as usual; Sunday evening he was
cheerful, and wished his wife to go out
to church; she, however, declined to
do so, as she has not left him alone an
evening in many months. Monday
morning he was taken with coughing
spell, and while coughing he ruptured
a blood vessel and expired in about
three minutes. Before expiring he
called for salt, which he took in an
endeavor to stop the flow OF blood,
and Immediately fell back dead.

Barker, who died about nine years

A VIGOROUS PROTEST.

Editor HeraId.-At a meeting OF the
county commissioners last Saturday the
following resolutions were adopted:
"On motion of Commissioner Whitney
it was resolved that Mr.. A. Mcbride be
appointed superintendent of the work to
prepare the county tract index and that
Messrs. John A. Zapp and Barney Voss-
berg be engaged as assistants and that
they proceed with the work as soon as
ordered by the board and receive a COM
pensation not to exceed two cents per
description"
"On motion, Commissioner Griebler, A.
Mcbride and the county auditor were ap-
pointed a committee to contract with
Mr.. Johnston, of the Pioneer Press Co.
for the necessary record books"
From the above it will be seen that the
commissioners have contracted with the
above named gentlemen to prepare set
of tract induces for the county. There
is no question but that the county should
be provided with a set of induces. but
such contracts should be let to the low
est bidder.
There are over 100000 descriptions i'll
the Stearns county records and at two
cents per description it will cost the
county over 1000, which, if let to the
lowest bidder, there are many who would
gladly take the contract for $1,000 or
less, thus saving the county an expend-
iture, or loss. of over $4,000. Any of
these parties taxing the contract would
be willing to give bonds, thus insuring
the fullfllnent of the contract in every
way.
Is it possible that the county commits
sioners deem it advisable for the county
to pay Messrs. A. Mcbride, Zapp ana
Vossberg $4,000 more for two or three
months work than any one else rather
than entrust it to others.
ESQ, Why.
1t IS only very short job to compile a
set of tract induces and if let to the low
est bidder, there is no doubt but that the
county would receive bids from many ex-
perienced abstractors, not only of Stearns
but other counties, whose bids would
range from 500 to 81, 200 for this same
work that the commissioners appear
willing that the county should pay
Messrs. Mcbride, Zapp and Vossberg
over Sc, 900 for. Contrary to their Gus
tom, it would appear from the facts in
the case that the commissioners acted
hastily, as would also appear from the
fact that that they appointed commit
tee to contract with Mr.. Johnston of the
Pioneer Press Co. for unnecessary books;
possibly some other parties would fir
nish these books at less figure than the
Pioneer Press Co.
We also understand that the contract
eor getting up these indices was let to
Messrs. Mcbride, Zapp and Vossberg
without any notice whatever to any one
else, without bonds, or without any pro-
vision for securing accuracy. 1t this bus
mess like? A TAX PAYER.

What a Time

People formerly had, trying to swallow
the old-fashioned pill with its film OF
magnesia vainly Disgusting its bitter
ness and what a contrast to Ayers
Pills, that have been well called "med-
icated sugar-plums"-the only fear be-
ing that patients may be tempted into
taking too many at dose. But the
directions are plain and should be
strictly followed. 80
j. T. Teller, M. D., of Chittenango,
N. Y, expresses exactly what hundreds
have written at greater length. He
says: layers Cathartic Pills are highly
appreciated. They are perfect in form
and coating, and their effects are all
that the most careful physician could
desire. They have supplanted all the
Pills formerly popular here, and I think
it must be long before any other can
be made that will at all compare with
them Those who buy your pills get
full value for their money"
"Safe, pleasant, and certain in
their action" is the concise testimony
of DR.. George E. Walker, of Martins
vile, Virginia.
