RICHMOND DAILY TIMKs,
July 10. 1870.
One Of the largest iockouts and strikes
that has ever affected any single trade In
this country will be inaugurated on Satur-
day, and twenty thousand men and women
in this city will be thrown out OF employ
ment. The Clothing Manlfacturers' Asso-
citation, OF New York, have given notice 10
their one thousand cutters that they would
be locked out Saturday. The manufacturers
say II is q retaliatory measure for the
boycotting OF one OF the trims, but the work.
ers assert that the real reason is the orxant-
zation OF new association, which the msn-
ufacturers fear will attempt to force up
prices. The total number Of operatives, in
Guiding tailors, in this city, interested In the
move is about 10000. none Of whom can
work without the cutters. Unless the man.
llfacturers rescind their order all organized
workmen in the clothing trade In the United
States will be called out.

1--WE WON'T"
| DEATH OF TWO wELL-KNOwN SPORTS.
Two well-known sporting men have just
died. One Of them is James Cusick. who
brought out John &. lieenan, and who for
many years since his retirement was spe-
cial officer at Delmonco's. The other one
Is Nicholas LangdOn, familiar figure
about the City Hall for many years,
who died at Bellevue Hospital from
| a complication OF diseases. lie was
| tifty-nine years old. Nicholas was
curlons personality; thin, spare
man, with cadayerous face. lie dlstin-
guiished himself in the iistic arena, and Is
was his proud boast that he had engaged in
one hundred and forty-one 'scrappiRg
Matches" and never lost but one. Twelve
OF these were regular prize-tghts, and Nick
Langdon's success in them earned him the
title Of middle-weight champion. The late
pugilst Congressman, John Morrissey, was
his ideal. Together with Jack Lawrence
he trained Morrissey for his famous tight
with yankee" sullivan at Boston corners.
BISHOPS BRIDAL TOUR.
Bishop A. A. Watson, Of the Eastern
Episcopal Diocese OF North Carolina,
whose marriage TO Miss Mary &. Lord was
a social event in the South few days ago,
has just sailed from this city for Queens
town on his bridal tour. Bishop Watson
Is a tall, wiry old gentleman, who doesn't
show the weight of sixty odd years, in
either gait or conversation. His eyes are
keen as many mans at twenty, and his
clOsely-trimmed iron-gray side whiskers
give look of legal precision 10 his counte-
nance. Bishop Watson W make lengthy
visit to Ireland. and then cross for a leisure
study of the old cathedrals and cathedral
towns Of Great Britain.
THE MONTH OF RIOTS.
Touching on the heat question brings 10
mind that In the local history Of New York
most of our riots have occurred during July,
which has been dubbed "the month u
riots, The abolition riots began here on
the Fourth of July, 1884. The Orange riot,
SO called. broke out in New York In the
middle OF July. The never TO be forgotten
''draft riots In this city also took place In
July, and for three days while they lasted
everything was ruled by the mob. The rail-
road riots also occurred during the red bot
mtn Of july.
II is rumored that President Harrison is
in favor Of appointing New York man as
Minister TO Spain, TO succeed Ex-Governor
Thomas w. Palmer, who resigned. Secre-
tary Blaine Is also OF the same opinion. In
consequence several prominent Republ-
cans OF national prominence have been put
forward. Some suggestions have been
made as TO the availability OF such we'll
known leaders as the Hon. Warner Miller,
Congressman james j. Belden, and Col
lector Joel B. Erhardt. but ii is known that
neither Of these three has any desire TO 20
abroad until tho question OF the next United
States senator is decided.
