Patterson at Grand Junction.

1 No48A 8S8 ~ 0A eAAAA y &4ASb&80a
Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock
Col. Josiah Patterson addressed an
audience of over 100 representative
men in the knights of Honor hall
at Grand Junction. Numerous
Alliancemen were present and lis
tened attentively to the sound logic
of the speaker. who for over two
hours talked in an earnest, honest
manner to his constituents. By
way of prelude, he stated that he
was visiting and consulting the
people of the Tenth District in or
der to find out their views upon
public questions before taking his
seat In congress in December. He
said he intended TO represent this
people intelligently AMI to the best
of his ability. Then he proceeded
with one of his good old democratic
speeches. He said he was a demo
crat because he believed that every
man in the race OF life should stand
on an equal footing; he was a dem
ocrat because democracy meant
peace ana prosperity to all. He
combatted the wild heresies known
as the sub-treasury and land loan
bills, and pointed with prophetic
finger to the dangers that would
result from the adoption of such
measures. Macune, Mcdowell and
Livingston, "lhe false gods in the
valley" were held cp to the public
gaze and pronounced dangerous men,
unfit to lead an intelligent people.
Col. Patterson's illustrations were
strong and forcible, and were loud
ly applauded. He said complaint
had reached his ears from men who
had been lifelong democrats, but
recently had become dissatis-
fed and tired of following the bea-
ten paths of democracy without re-
ceiving some benefit. He warned
all such men TO look we'll before they
leaped. Designing demagogues
he said were at work deceiving and
misleading the honest manhood OF
the country. Democracy has never
had an opportunity to benefit the
people since the war-all that 1t
could possibly do was to stand in
the breach and act as a shield by
preventing the enactment OF ruins
GUS laws-give it a chance and then
if the result is the same you will
have a right TO complain. The
promised land" is now almost in
sight-that land we have been
struggling and toiling to reach for
the last quarter of q century. Shall
we desert our trusted and faithful
leaders, give up our sacred princi-
pies on the very threshold of victory
and 60 of after golden images9 He
entreated his hearers to stand to
their guns and contend for right
and justice "until the last armed foe
expired"
One sub-treasury man in the aus
dience frequently interrupted the
speaker, and made an effort to re>
ply after Col. Patterson finished.
but the people were not disposed to
listen, and he was forced to retire
without relieving himself of his pent
up eloquence.
A number of ladies graced the
occasion with their presence.

A BUG ON THE WIRE.
TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION IN
TERRUPTED BY 1T.

Two Hundred and Fifty Volts Pass Through
a Corton Bus-The Insect Is Dead
Serious Delay Because 1t Died on Tele-
graph Instrument.
NEW YORK, Dec 12.-[Special. 1T was
just before noon yesterday, when the
business of the telegraph companies is
brisk, and the Baltimore quad in the
Western Union Office had been keep
ing four operators in New York and
four more in Baltimore busy for
several hours. There were stock quotations
to send, and orders to buy and sell to be re-
ceived. Suddenly the instrument began to
clatter like the teeth of man taken with q
chill This told the telegraphers instantly
that the finely adjusted piece of mechanism,
by the means of which four messages can be
sent over the same wire simultaneously,
had got out of order.
Wire Chief Duriqan was called to adjust
the instruments. He puttered over them
for some time, and then concluded that
there was "bug'' on the wire some place
between New York and Baltimore. (The
telegrapher's definition of 'bug" is
t'trouble") The instrument: were taken
off the wire, and the wire was tested. 1t
was found to work splendidly. When the
instruments were replaced, however, the
wire would not work at all. Messages we're
piling up on the table, and the traffic chief,
whose business is to see that there is no
delay to dispatches, was almost distracted.
Electricians were sent for and they began
a thorough examination of the instruments.
After half an hours search they found the
bug, not on the wire, but on the instru-
ments. 1t proved to be Croton bug. 1t
stood on the instrument which regulates
the passage of the electric current from the
dynamo to the wire, in such way as to
connect, with its fore and hind legs, the
positive and the negative currents of the
battery, which are necessarily separated by
insulation. The bug was dead, of course,
and the current of $50 volts had fairly
glued it to the metal, thereby forming a
conductor and temporarily interrupting
business between New York and Baltimore
for more than half an hour.

A DIVORCE IN BLOOD
That the Court Cannot Recognize as
Legal Sepststio- Papers.
A SINGULAR STATE OF AFFAIRS
Developed in Queer Community in Q
Suburb of New York City.
THINGS TO MAKE A MORMON ENVIOUS
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH
NEW YORK, Dec 12.-Written in blood
and formally sealed and signed, was the
paper which Henry Blumenstein, Of john
son avenue. exhibited in the Lee avenue
court, Williamsburg, to-day. Great was
the surprise of Clerk Lehapphaus, to whom
the strange document was presented, when
Blumenstein informed him it was divorce,
but greater still that of Blumenstein, when,
upon reafirming his statement, he was
summarily elected from the court.
The extraordinary paper in question read
as follows: s'With our hearts blood we do
hereby divorce ourselves, and solemnly
promise not TO molest each other in the
future, but each to go their own way and
each to do as they like"
The signatures of Henry and Elizabeth
Bluamenstein were attached to the paper,
and also small red seal. The case was the
second of the same nature which appeared
before Justice Goetting to-day, the first
having been that of Frank Freese, of 127
Montrose avenue, who had presented SIM
liar paper as evidence of divorce.
The condition of affairs disclosed is re-
markable. Both parties in question are
known as ''Dutchtown," inhabited by the
lower and uneducated class of Germans.
From what can be learned, 1t appears that
residents in that section have long been
firm believers that mutual agreement
made divorce legal and moral.
The result has been the making of a
state of polygamous domesticity that would
make a Mormon elder green with envy, and
a complication of family affairs that will
render impossible, for some time to come,
anv adjudication of affairs testamentary by
established entail
The Germans themselves are sincere in
their belief, and the continuation of the
practice to the present time is blamed by
the authorities to the willingness of certain
unprincipled pettifoggers to draw up these
simple papers for fee Of from S. to $40
and assure their legality.

THIS MAN DOES KNOw.
john Dimling's Establishment.

People labor under the delusion that any,
body can manage a restaurant, and that is
lust where they make mistake, but the thou
sands of citizens who lunch daily at Dim
llng's know that he has arrived at the height
in serving delicious, appetizing meals. In
order to accommodate his numerous patrons
it was necessary to completely transform
the building, until now there is space for
all and an army of efficient clerks to serve
patrons.
1t is not only that YOU can get dinner or
luncheon, but there is everything which
should be found at confectioner' 's-candies
cakes. fruits. nuts, etc Sunday school COM
mittees will find it to their interest to deal
at this store, as Mr.. Dimling offers special
inducements on this fine stock. The candy
at 25c per pound cannot be duplicated for
the money.
Christmas tree ornaments, bric-a-brac and
japanese goods "a large and varied stock)
will be found on the second floor; the musi-
cal Christmas tree, which afforded so much
pleasure last year, can be seen and heard on
this same floor. Weiss Orchestra will,
until Christmas, be in daily attendance,
rendering classical and popular music.
Mr.. Dimling is SO appreciated by the pub
lie that his custom bids fair to increase in
the future as in the past Ladies have
learned Of this convenient place to take
luncheon when they are shopping, while
everyone has something favorable to say
about the 25c meals. The easiest way to
prove that it is the place to get your meals
and buy your sweets and festival decora-
tions is by going there once (after that you
will GO all the time) and you will be con-
yinced that "this man does know" and his
name is JOHN DIMJING,

FRENCH RIOT In OAKDALE.
Villiers Durante Cuts Edward LeGrande::
and Is Charged With Attempted Murder
Pistols and Knives Used on Both Sides

Viiliers Durante Cuts Edward LeGrande..
and Is Charged With Attempted Murder
Pistols and Knives Used on Both Sides
Wanted to BE Guest.
Justice of the Peace Robb, of Oakdale,
committed Villiers Durante to Jail yester-
day on charge of attempted murder. The
information was made on an allegation that
he had cut and badly wounded Edward LIE
Grande during riot at Toms Run last
Saturday. Both are Frenchmen.
The defendant, whose home is at Mobiles
town, went to LeGrande's house during q
family party, and demanded that he be
treated as guest and served with beer.
He was refused, and began a quarrel. He
drew knife and cut LIE Grand five times,
twice in the breast, in the stomach, the
right groin and left arm. Durante was
then thrown out of the house and some of
his friends outside took up his quarrel and
attacked the LeGrande faction. The latter
streamed out of the house into the public
road and knives and pistols were drawn.
Some five or six shots were fired, but none
are reported to have taken effect. Several
of the men were cut with knives, however,
but not SO seriously as LeGrande. One
other man had his foot cut IN two places,
evidently having kicked at an assailant.
The following Monday an information was
made and the case was to have been heard
on Wednesday, but was postponed
until yesterday, when an interpreter was
produced by the LeGrande faction. The
hearing had only begun when the Durante
followers objected to the Interpretation,
alleging 1t was not fair to their side, and
and Squire Robb agreed to postpone the
case again until Tuesday, when another in
terpreter will be present.
The quarrel is the sole topic of converse
tion about Oakdale, and further outbreak
is feared 1t is probable several on both
sides will be arrested on a charge of riot.

mauga, Vicksburg, etc, showing that at
the close of DAYS engagement
rain fell in torrents, subjecting the troops to
great suffering and inconvenience. Mr.. Pow
ers quotes letters from many leading men of
the nation to prove his theory that heavy
canonading brings rain. His strongest sup
port came from soldiers of the late war.
One of these is General John McNulta,
Of Bloomington, ILL.,, who says: mot
only has it been my experience that rain
follows soon after very heavy cannonading,
conceded and understood in the
army, and acted upon by the soldiers
preparing for it after every days battle. l
remember, particularly, that in the garri-
son@t Lexington, Mo-, when water could
not be had, it was urged by myself, and
other officers encouraged the men to hold
out for a few hours and that the canonading
would bring rain to quench their thirst; and
1t did bring rain, but it found us without the
means to catch it in sufficient quantities.
There are large number of soldiers in
Wisconsin who will remember this circum-
stance, and the wringing of their blankets
to get water"
General George w. Smith, of Chicago,
wrote to Mr.. Powers under date of Feb
ruary 21, 1871: 'I was present at Perry
vile, Stone River, Chickamauga, Mission
Ridge, the various engagements between
Chattanooga and Atlanta, franklin and
Nashville. remember that rain followed
most of the allowed named battles"
Mr. Powers rightfully claims the honor
of suggesting the experiments which the
Agricultural Department made this year on
the plains of Texas. He believes that at a
reasonable cost to the Government the waste
places of the continent can be transformed
into veritable gardens and the great plains
and deserts blooming Eden.

Railroad and Western Union Teleeraphers
on . General Strike.
Ell PAso, TEX, Dec 12.-Tuesday even
ing the train telegraphers of the Pacific
system of the Southern Pacific Railroad
from Ell Paso to San Francisco, went out on
a strike because the officers of that system
demanded that they go before notary pub
lie and subscribe to the following oath:
I hereby certify on oath that am not now
a member of the Order of Railway Telegra-
pliers, nor of any other telegraphic organ
ization of any kind; nor will join any such
order while in the employ of the Southern
Pacific without the consent of the General
Superintendent of the company.
Yesterday the road requested the West
ern Union telegraph Office to handle the
train dispatches, but the Western Union
operators refused to take or send the dis
patches The men were notified they would
be discharged and blacklisted for refusal,
and last night most of the operators in the
Western Union office here walked out.
The Southern Pacific operators participated
in the strike, which threatens to extend to
the Santa Fe Railroad.
