THE legal hanging of Dick Halves last
Friday, while it recalls the horrible crime
for which he paid the penalty, also serves
to point lesson in moderation. When
the dead bodies of his wife and children
were exposed to view and the motive that
urged him to be their murderer were
made known, it is a marvel that mob law
did not prevail, but to the credit of
Huntsville be it said, the outraged COM
munlty permitted law TO exercise its
right, and Dick Halves, basest of muir
derers, was tried and condemned with all
the solemnity and formslity BETTING so
serious question as taking the life of q
fellow mortal.

Brakemen on a Strike.

PITTsBURG, Pa, March 3.-Some
sixty yard brakemen of the Pittsburg and
Lake Erie railroad struck for an advance
of thirty-five cents per day and, as a con-
sequence, tied up this eud of the line.
Passenger trains are being hauled on
time, but the men chose their moment
with excellent judgment. and miles OF
freight are waiting for brakemen who
cannot be found. The pecullarity OF the
strike is that the men are nom
union men, and utterly without a head.
The STitchmen g union, Brakemen and
Brotherhood of locomotive engineers
have announced themselves as opposed
to the strike. Nevertheless the sixty
hTakemen are valiant and say they Will
win against all combined.

the charges. Tlronical Psrnellite cheers.
Was there any one in the house who
did not wish to see justice
done even to that newspaper? Cheers.
There were certain features of the re-
publications which were deeply to be de-
plored, but other accusations were justi-
fed by the report.

Daniel DAILY, one of the policemen
wounded at the Haymarket riot was
committed in the fermentation hospital
for the insane this afternoon. DAILY was
struck on the back of the head
at the riot with piece Of shell, but his
injury was not considered serious at the
time, and after being laid up few days
he resumed his place on the force and
retained It up to August of
last year. There seems no doubt, how
ever, that his insanity is the result of his
encounter with the anarchist bomb.

ing a cut in his hand which got under the
hammer. Then Buer fed. The negro
attempted to enter the house to find

wife and daughter of the proprietor
plead with the desperate man to spare
his life. The officers found the situation
thus, and in a few minutes Mr.. Smith
was behind the bars Of the county Jail.

ardson, speaking about the affair, ''if
he could get his revolver back when he
got ont Of Jail, because, he said, he
wanted to kill Buer with it when he got
