SURGING HUMANITY.
That's What the Collector of Customs of
New York Had to Contend With Yester-
day-He Keeps open Till IL O'Clock.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-The most excite
ment has prevailed in and about the
CUSTOM house all day. Whole troops of
importers and brokers kept coming and
going. AS 8 O'Clock approached the
numbers increased. uutil finally the TO-
tunda of the custom house was filed
with a solid mass OF humanity i,
which perspired, jostled, pushed and
yelled. All carried large sums of money.
They were on hand to enter goods that
were expected to arrive late this after
noon. They wished to get their entries
in under the old law, and stood ready to
make their entries the moment the yes
sells were sighted at Fire island.
BY the decision OF yester-
day, the custom house was to
have closed on the strike of
three 'clock this afternoon. All goods
arriving after that hour were to come in
under the new law, and duty was to be
charged accordingly. The mass of i'm
porters and brokers IN the custom house
was so great at 5 O'Clock that Collector
Erhart deemed it unadvisable to close at
that hour. He announced the
time would be extended till
4 o'clock. Each moment after 8
O'Clock the excitement became
greater. Those in the rotunda appeared
TO be going crazy. The clerks in the
various divisions were swamped with
business. Not for years has such O
scene been enacted in the customhouse.
Every few minutes new delegations of
importers and brokers invaded
the corridors of the house and
importuned them to keep the custom
house open, until the collector was in a
qIandry. His Office was damned full of
importers, who waved rolls of bills in
their hands and shouted to him not TO
close the house. The pressure on
the collector became so great
finally that he sent telegram
TO Washington. The importers expected
vessels 10 arrive at CLOCK. In a little
time there came an answer from WASH
ington. 1t was from the secretary of
the treasury and informed the collector
that he could use his own discretion
in the matter. Upon receipt of Seq
rotary WINDOWS telegram Collector
Erhardt and his seven deputies held
consultation. They decided TO keep the
custom house open until u O'Clock to-
night. Importers cheered. The steam
ships Regnals, City of Chicago, VauDam
and City of Columbia, thef latter from
Havana with q cargo of tobacco, are ex-
pected to arrive this evening.

Two Prominent San Antonio Men Meet in
Fattle krray-The Result.
srecial to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Oct, last night Mr..
q. W. Browder, manager of the Menger hotel,
and Mr.. Louis Berge Of the Berge wooden mills,
and one Of the leading spectators and capital
talists of the city, had difficulty in the rotunda
OF the hotel, and Browder used cane and Berge
was quite seriously injured. his forehead being
gashed. his head cut and one of his fingers torn.
The cause of the trouble is supposed TO have
been dispute concerning the service in the
dining room. To-day two affidavits were made
against Browder one charging assault with intent
to murder and the other with manning. He was
arrested and bound over in the sums of $1,000 and
$500 respectively. Berge's finger got into Brow
der's mouth and was considerably chewed,
hence the charge of manning Bond was
promptly furnished.

Rumor Has it the Central Company Hav
Been Asked to Get Rid of All of Them.
New YORK, Oct. At is reported that the
m anagemenr of the New York Central railway
was asked by other labor organizations TO drive
the Knights Of Labor from the service of the
conn any. A correspondent writes that it is
not generally known, but it is fact that this
latest order not only has the approval of some
OF the other organizations, but that the Cen
trail management have been actually
requested by representatives of the Lo-
connective and FIremen brotherhoods
to drive the Knights OF Labor out Of
the system. The fremen's brotherhood say sfe'
switchmen have been CONF lsining since
the strike that they were molested, threatened,
abused and they were at one time in state of
terror on account of intimidation practIced by
walking delegates and other Knights of La Dor
committees. The locomotive brotherhood went
SO far as to tell Mr.. Webb that the Central COM
pany has 10 choose between the engineers or
ganization and that OF Knights. There is
opposition on the part of the Central manage
ment TO any labor organization whatever except
the Knights-in fact, all of the others are en-
couraged and supported.

RAMMER oR ANVIL.

To pound or to be pounded, is
the one great question which con-
fronts every man at some period in
life. Whether YOU will be active
or passive in the worlds great
maaufactory of human character
is of infinite moment to more souls
than one. a stumble in early life
may subject your posterity to the
torturing trample OF many genera
rons. Men sometimes find it con-
venienx to use as a foot-bridge some
fallen trunk, or ride to glory on the
back of some hapless brothers
misfortune Two-thirds of our race
are saddled and bridled for the
other one-third to mount and ride
A large percentage of our popula-
tion are nothing but macadam for
the velvet slipper and the iron
heel. Mediocrity and servile obedi-
enee are used by the ambitious as
bridge timber to fill up the Unequal
tiles on the great highway to the
throne Avarieious men stand
upon the Frustrated forms of un-
fortunate competitors that they
may over-reach a brother short of
stature and snatch the prize, ere
the ragged and the hungry can
stretch forth the wasted and with
cred hand. Men with the stomach
of horse and a reservoir like a
brewers vat, eat their pastry and
sip their foreign brands of wine,
while the pinched and hungry sit
at the portals and beg for crumbs.
The history of the worlds mad
strife for bread and butter, is
punctuated and Photographed by
tears and sighs, by battle and
pestilence and all the tumultuous
changes incident to the struggles
for a manly independence and .
satisfying competency.

PROGRESSIVE CTVILIZA-
TTON.

Such a civilization as that of the
nineteenth century brings society
very much under the influence of
the richest culture and refinement.
The spirit of the age is aesthetic.
Even utility goes abroad gilded
and brocaded most elaborately.
The hunablest industry has been
taught to aspire to place in the
temple of the arts; and natien
challenges nation TO a comparison
of handiwork. Under such cir
cumstances there Is a special
temptation. to Worship faculty,
skill or genius. We now ask for
certificates of merit, and make
manhood prove itself by eompeti-
tive examinations. And now that
certificates, medals and titles are
so plentiful, it is a bare chance if
the uncertificated man escapes con-
tempt. Men are indastriously
trained to eriticise the external;
they are learned in all artificial
ism; inexorably exacting in mat
tiers of dress, posture and pronun-
citation. What, then, can the un-
conventionalman do? Refinement
brings its own perils. When re-
finement boasts of itself it becomes
vulgarity. True refinement is a
question of the heart, not an
attainment of the schools; under
The toughest exterior the most
SaAder susceptibilities may throb,
and under the finest there may be
dross and dust.

to spend the evening of his life in Civ

no grumbling (the chronic grumblor is
despicable creature), and he will

4 king Of Asia Minor was one
