On the corner of one of the business
streets of the city the other morning a
shoeblack had just finished polishing the
shoes Of a well dressed and gentle appear
ing a The latter was unfortunate in
having a deformity which compelled him
to wear q shoe on one Of his feet with an
exceedingly thick sole, thus endeavoring
to make up mechanically for what ma
ture had denied him.
"How much shall | pay your he asked
of the boy.
Five cents, sir
ooh, but you should have more than
five cents for polishing my Shoes" said
the gentleman, tapping the thick sole
significantly with his cane.
No, sir" said the boy; "fve-cents is
enough. | don't want to make no money
out O your hard luck"
The customer handed out a coin, laid
his hand on the youngsters head for a
moment and passed on.

RlTCHE0 TO A CABLE.
She Unique and Startling Experience OF
a San Francisco Horse.

SAe Unique and Startling Experience OF
a San Francisco Horse.
A sad eyed horse hitched to a two
wheeled butcher wagon blinked lazlly
and whisked flies from himself on Jones
street, between OFarrell and Geary
streets. He was an ordinary q~uadruped
with a large head, which he wore in a
detected sort of way, as though he was
indnlging in melancholy thoughts. Dang
ling from one Of the bit rings was the
long hitching rope, which the custodian
of the wagon had neglected to fasten to
post.
Suddenly the horse cast his eyes to
starboard and slowly wagged his right
ear. An abandoned newspaper had drift
ed down the street and became caught in
the cable slot. The horse was interested.
He lazily wandered over to the track and
examined the paper. The free end Of
the ~hitching rope dropped through the
cable slot. Suddenly the horse jumped
clear off the ground, jerked his head up,
plastered his ears close to his head, reared
on his hind feet, paved the air with his
fore feet, gave vent to a loud snort and
stampeded down Jones street.
1t was not his fault that he broke his
speed record. This horse was a peace
full animal, with an inclination to the
plodding career Of a plow horse. But he
was compelled to assume a rapid gait
because his rope was wound around the
cable rope ana he was propelled by steam:
as it were. On he sped down Jones
street, around the corner and into
O'Farrell street at a gait he had never
Travelled before, while veal outlets, cuts
of beef, pOrterE0use stakes, kidneys,
lamb chops and liver logged out of the
wagon and became the trail which the
butcher boy followed frantically in his
efforts to catch his beast.
Nothing got in the way Of the horse
but dogs, and they added to his misery
by lcaping into the air and swapping at
his nose. An enthusiastic procession of
urchins raced madly in the wake Of the
wagon and cheered the animal on to
greater efforts Of speed.
Down three blocks Of O'Farrell street
rampaged the equine, creating as large a
sensation as would a mouse in a semi
nary. At Powell street his career ended.
The hitching rope came in contact with
the cross cable of the Powell Street rail
road and was cut in twain. The horse
was holding back so hard that the reac-
ton threw him on his launches, and be-
fore he could recover his equilibrium
half q hundred citizens were holding him
down.
The butcher boy gathered up as much
of his scattered meat as the dogs had not
~devoured, and in a few minutes the yell
low horse was plodding in the wake of a
hay wagon, munching purloined hay

A coroner out west recently reasoned
out a verdict more sensible than one-half
the verdicts usually rendered. 1t ap-
pears that an Irishman, conceiving that
a little powder thrown upon some green
wood would facilitate its burning di-
rected a small stream from a key upon
the burning piece; but not possessing a
hand sufficiently quick to cut this off
was blown into a million pieces. The
following was the verdict, delivered with
great gravity by the official:
Cant be called suicide, bekase he
didn't mean to kill himself; it wasn't
"visitation of God" bekase he wasn't
struck by lightning; he didn't die for

SOCIALISTS ACKNOWLEDGE FAILURE.
HE Strike Committee Reports That the
Struggle Will Be Revived.

BERLIN, Sept. 26.-The report of the So
cialist Strike Committee discloses the en-
tire failure Of the organizations which were
being arranged to bring about strikes in all
the trades There has been an extraordinary
general exhaustion of the Socialists funds.
Within year the trades unions have lost
nall their members, the leading masons'
ana carpenters unions, owing partly to in
iernal dlSsentiOn, are in state of collapse.
Since the formation of the strike committee
81 strikes have been organized, and in every
ease The labor party was defeated.
Inc committee complained of want of
foreign support The committee was prom
lSed nothing, but received from America and
France l,OOO marks, and from England 90
O"o marks. The strikers at first got 20 marks
weekly, the employers protracted the
struggle and the funds dwindled away until
they were not sufficient to give the men
marks weekly. When this point was
reached the men were unable to exist, and
were compelled to capitulate. When the
strikes were over the masters refused to re-
employ many Of their old hands. The
SOCIALISTS confess that they have been de-
1eated- Ihey propose, however, that
trades union congress be held in March next
10 arrange for revival of the struggle.

NEW YORK, Sept 26.-[ Special. ]-Pretty
Emma B usch, of Newark, is dead, poisoned
in the dark, late on Thursday night by her
lover, Ernst Lehman, who took some of
the poison himself and is at st. Michael's s
Hospital praying for death to relieve him
from his agony. Lehman is Is years old,
and was employed as a polisher in the Singer
Sewing Machine works at Elizabethport,
where he lived. Miss Busch was pro-
nounced brunette, also Is. She was the
daughter of Frederick Busch, black
smith. Two weeks ago Lehman had been
devoted to her; visited her, and she told
him she did not care for him and wanted
him to cease his attentions.
He went again on Thursday night and
they sat on the stoop together. Again he
pleaded with her and again she repulsed
him. He proposed a parting drink and
brought out a bottle of soda water. He
dropped something in both glasses when her
back was turned. The girl was found alone
later in a terrible condition. He was cap
tured and is now in the hospital. 1t is not
thought that he will live until morning.
The girl died at o'clock in the morning.

AaBLOODY DAY IN NEW ORLEANS
A Mob Makes Rome Howl.


Saturday was a bloody day IN
New Orleans, and one that Will live
in history for long time without a
parallel.
Eleven Italians were butchered
by Infatuated citizens because they
thought the Italians had escaped
the strong arm of justice. They
were charged with the murder of
Chief of Police Hennesey some four
months ago, the proof against some
of them seemed conclusive, but the
| jury acquitted six of them, and
virtually acquitted three others. A
mass meeting of citizens was called
and those citizens resolved them
selves into a mob, went TO the
prison and there shot some, hung
some and altogether butchered
eleven helpless prisoners, Those
Italians are hard lot, hard to cone
Wet by reason of their indifference
as to whether they swear falsely or
to the truth, and it did seem that
the end the citizens hope to attain
that of breaking up the Italian
Marfa-would almost justify any
means for its accomplishment. but it
could hardly Justify such wholesale
slaughter, which: being done without
authority, could be nothing but adj
ding eleven more murders to that of

Chief + lennesy. We are opposed to
mob law, but those people were on
the ground and seemed to be bust
ness men, leading citizens and were
perhaps more capable of Judging of
What it would take to break up the
band of murderous cut threats that
infested the city than those away
who condemn their action on the
principle that lynch law is never
justifable.
But the will of the American peo-
pie, when aroused is greater than
the law, and no foreign power or
secret society is hedged with a di-
vinity sacred enough to be held in
violate when the law seemed made
quate to reach this band. This riot
should convey lesson to dynami-
tiers, hybinders and all secret orders
whose aims and purposes. may be
foreign to American ideas, The
Italian consul acknowledges the ex-
istence of the Malta. The fact
comes out in Mondays dispatches
that the Italian flag was raised in
honor of their victory after the
iury.s verdict, with the American
flag hanging under it, indicating
their trump and that arrangements
were being made to have q grand
celebration Sunday, but instead thay
had funeral celebrations.
Tie italian government has in
structed the italian minister at
Washington to present vehement
protest to the United States govern
mont against the action of the mob.
Secretary Blaine expresses horror of
the acts of the mob and promises
that he will Immediately take the
orders of the President in the mat
ter and decision would be commu-
nicated to the Italian government.
Protests and COMBINATIONS of the
action of the mob are pouring in
from every place where there are
any Italians.

LETTER FROM AUSTIN.
Arsr1N. Tx. March 16. 1891.

AUSTIN, lex, March l6, 1881.
EDITOR BANNER There is nothing
but trouble. Even your correspon
dent is in trouble; if he writes long
letter no one will read it, if a short
one he can't tell all he knows.
The legislator is in trouble be.
cause he is only getting 50 per day
now. Then he has seen in the
papers that there were 10000 bills
introduced in the last congress and
1000 in the senate and here his time
is nearly out and he is ten thousand
behind. Then Terrell is in extra
trouble. He slipped Browns little
bantling from its cradle and sub
stituted his own more vigorous pro,
genY Then came the senate
doctors and cut and carved it SO
''the mother that bore it can not
discern her offspring more"
Gov. Hogg is in trouble; shall he
not appoint the commissioners, what
else was he candidate for? Do the
people know better than he does
who can control rail roads and
themselves also?
Will he have to rely on his veto
cracker to his political whip? And
if he does, will the leaders stand it;
and the wheel horses, what will they
do?
But after all the legislature is a
great school. After a session or two
they learn not to chip in when it is
not their chip. Some we're born to
make long speeches without saying
anything and a few born to
make short talks and say good deal,
and all were born to write laws and
offer amendments, but no one has
yet learned the difference between
shall and may. They will take shall
out of a law one session and put it
back the next until the two words
may be called Legislative stock in
trade.
Even Terrell, learned as he lis, and
to whose management Travis county
owes so much since he has come to
be the mouth-piece of Hogg, may
learn that one shrewder than himself
tho not member of either branch
of the legislature may come nearer
being the father of the commission
bill than he is, and he will find him
self in the condition of the man in
the song, Rocking another mans

STRIKES.

Anent the recent strikes and the
alarming frequency of them for real
or immagInary wrongs, suppose the
farmers who are getting pretty well
organized all over the United States
should decide to strike-''go out,
for a season-to bring the market
to terms? Think of the effect.
Wouldn't it be paralyzer: The
commerce of the world would cease,
locomotives rust in the round house
and freight cars fill the side tracks.
The hum of the factory would cease;
and the merchant would have but
little to sell. Government aid
could not purchase that which had
not been made, and would conse-
quently be powerless to avert the
disaster that would follow. How
foolish would be such strike. but
not much more foolish than some of
the mechanics who are dependent
upon their daily labor for food and
clothing for their families.
