than the journal and its brilliant editor.

A Printers Strike Threatened at
philadelphia.

Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, December 24.-Edward
7. Plank, President of the International
Typographical Union, arrived today to
confer with the officers of Typographical
Union No. 2, relative to the demand of
the printers on five morning newspapers
for an advance from forty to forty five
cents per thousand in the price of type
setting. He saw some of the local Off
GERS, who explained the situation to him.
The demand the printers made was TO
have gone into effect tonight, but the re.
fusal Of the employers to grant it, served
to complicate matters. Most of the
men are not satisfied with the
40 cents per thousand rate, and they
are not inclined to accept the employers
action as final at present. President
Glazer, of the local union, said this after
noon no trouble would be experienced in
any of the newspaper composing rooms
tonight. A meeting will probably be
held in few days, he said, at which the
situation will be considered.
William M. Singerly. of the Record,
has granted to his printers an advance
from 40 to As cents per thousand for set
ting minion. This action, however, it
was said, was purely voluntary and had
nothing whatever to do with the demand
OF the Typographical Union, the matter
being in allegiance.

To All.
Rain or no rain, the HERALD wishes
all it's readers, including those who have
been nearly drowned out, merry
Christmas. There is no reason why
Angelefios should not turn toward the
giver of all good gifts with grateful hearts
on this anniversary of the coming of the
Saviour. There is not on the footstool a
more plenteous land than this, and the
traditional roast turkey is within the
reach of every one, even the poorest.
On no city in all this broad land does the
sun of hope shine with more undim-
med luster, Notwithstanding the rain
clouds. Whatever inconvenience we
may suffer from these last is at best but
temporary, and it will be recompensed
to us a hundred fold in the coming
months. From every quarter we are ad-
vised of the disappearance of the red
and white scale, crops though late are
bound to be abundant, and the rank
growth of the alfilerilla alone, which
mantles on mesa and valley, is of itself
wealth. Meanwhile, all our springs and
reservoirs are full to bursting, and we
shall feel the good effects of the UMPIRE
cedented rainfall for years to come.
Then merry Christmas to all, and may
every vigorous Angeleflo fall to on bis
turkey and plum pudding, and may di-
gestion wait on appetite and health on
both.

AT 1 o'clock it is still raining steadily,
with no sign of cessation. Up to this
hour the damage done is slight, but the
river is nearly over the bulkheads from
Buena Vista to First street. 1t hae
broken through the levee at two or three
points. and has washed out the ap-
proaches to the Kuhrts-street bridge.
On the fiat across the river, near First
street, the houses are inundated and the
families are moving out. The situation
is grave, the immediate future Ringing
on the heaviness of the downpour in the
mountains and on the continuance OF
this unprecedented precipitation. Should
the rain cease we may escape serious
trouble, and the river may be shrunk to
a email measure by morning, as it very
rapidly runs down; but should the storm
be renewed in a severe degree great dam
age is sure to ensue, and loss of life is
among the probabilities. Later develop
ments will be found in the HERALD s

today'by the tug Rssolute, was struck by
a swell, carrying overheard Chief Engi-
neer Pugsiey, cabin boy and three
sailors, named Frank Johnson, Charles

The chief engineer and the cabin bow

in the water some time. They were
nearly exhausted. The seas put out the

tiremen had narrow escape from
drowning in the flre.room. The steamer
was lowed in by the Resolute. badly
damaged. The starboard side was stove
in, the rail carried away, the davits and
lie boats washed overheard and the
matches torn up, filling the hold with
water and damaging the cargo of wheat.
The schooner is owned by Dolbear &
Carson, San Francisco, and was char
tered by the Oregon Development Com
pany. Captain Bonfield reports over
twenty-four feet Of water on the bar
where the vessel was when struck by the

atively smooth when the vessel started
to go out, but heavy swell arose. Old
residents say that the swell that struck
the steamer was the heaviest ever seen
on the bar.

this evening. A family of eight persons,
consisting of mother and father and
six children, were discovered in starv-

here to be sent to the county home. The
gaunt faces Of the elder people and the
hollow eyes and hungry looks of the little

spectators, but little money or assistance.
The parents had been i'll from fever, and
as they lived in an isolated place, the
children could procure no aid. Their
condition was accidentally discovered by
a farmer. The family reached such a
stage that it is thought none can recover.

No more heroic deed has been recorded
in this Territory in years than that of
the poor cowboys who followed their en-
ployers' stock to their death in the fear
full blizzard which ragged over the great
plains of Colfax county last week, says
the Stock Grower. These brave fellows
we're accustomed to severe changes of
the elements, and fully comprehended
the dangers of night in such storm.
But they were intrusted with thousands
of dollars worth of property, and like
true knights of their profession they pre-
ferred to do their duty and die rather
than abandon the herd and seek shelter.
Who can think of those daring riders,
following and attempting to control this
vast herd Of Infatuated cattle in q blind
ing, freezing storm, 40 they rushed over
the plains in the shadowy night, now
and again falling over entertainments,
without realizing that they we're heroes
worthy nobler fate?.
Did they shrink from the inevitable re-

was their duty" and the end was typi-

case was decided in the Probate Court Of

a wealthy and influential farmer in the

her to his farm as sewing maid. Since

in her petition she alleged that she had
been permitted to hold conversation with
none of her race, and none of the family
were ever permitted to tell her the re.
suits of the war. When her old master
died three weeks ago she ran away to
Bonneville, and while there learned that
the slaves had been emancipated. She
told her story to a lawyer, and he
brought suit to recover 81 400 (wsges at

Patent.

Patent.
INDIANAPOLIS, December 24.-Judge
Gresham today decided case of general
interest, being the suit brought by the
Brush Electric Company, of Cleveland,
against the Fort Wayne Electric Light
Company for the infringement of the
Brush patent upon the so-called double
carbon lamp. The case has been vigor-
ously prosecuted and defended, and has
been pending about three years. All
OF the claims of the Brush patents
are sustained-six in all-and- declared
to be infringed. These claims cover all
night electric lamps ueed for street light
ing where two or more pairs of car bon
are employed. The patent was attacked
by the defense mainly upon the grounds
that it's claims were too broad and
sweeping, but this defense did n, t
avail. The electric lamps controlled bv
this patent are in use throughout the
country and, in fact, the world over
wherever street lighting by electricity
is had.
