Resignation of One of the Oldest and
Most Trusted of Carnegie's
Employees.
He Says the Manner of Carrying on
the Work at the Mills
Was UnbParable.
The Strikers Greatly EncOul aged
Why the Duquesne Strike
Failed.

PlTTsBURG, August S..-The sensation
of the day at Carnegie's upper union
mills was the resignation of the night
superintendent and pudding boss,
Richard Nichols. He has been in the
employ of the firm for eighteen years
and was one of the most trusted work.
men of the mill. Immediately after
leaving the works he vent to the ANAL
gamated headquarters where he stated
tie step he had taken was due to the
fact that his work had been made en-
tremely unpleasant since the strike had
been inaugurated. He says he has been
shifted from n position and station to
another until the work has simply be-
come unbearable. In connection with
the workings of the mill he said the IS
and 2O-inch mills did not start today as
reported. The strikers, he said, gained a
victory this morning by inducing two of
the best heaters to leave the mill. In
regard to the number of men who are
working he said there were less than at
any time since the strike began and that
before the plant can be successfully
operated it will be necessary to make
many repairs.
The acquisition of Richard Nichols
greatly encouraged the strikers. The
steamer Tide was moving non-union men
to Homestead today and in four trips
carried nearly 200 men.
This afternoon IL men charged with
rioting at Duquesne had a hearing be-
fore Alderman Reilly. Two were re.
leased and nine were held for court in
LOCO bail each. All furnished bail but
Geo. Ursen who was committed to jail.
The promised suit for false arrest grow
ing out of charges of murder and aggra-
waiting a riot, against Edward Burke
will not be brought until after Burke's
trial in court. Attorney Brennan feels
confident information has been made
against the wrong man and expects to
prove Burke wds in Pittsburg from July
D to the morning of July 4. Workmen
will make no informations for melting to
riot today, but such informations will be
made some day this week.

The Chinese of San Francisco shave
nearly every day. A queer little razor
it is that they use, too. 1t is in no re-
spect like our razor, except in the matter
OF the keenness Of its edge. 1t is a wee
bit OF a blade, nicely curved into a semi
circle. With this tool the Chinese bar
Der scrapes the almost hirsuteless face
OF his customer and then shaves him
around the ears and down the neck to
the first bone of the spinal column. The
rounded point of the razor Is also insert
ed into the Celestial ear, and every am
bilious hair that dares to show itself in
the aricular lobe is clipped before it pro-
ceeds very far. The Chinaman, you
know, is sc~rupulously clearly about his
ears. A growth of hair in them is con-
sidered u mark Of low birth or of care
lessness or ungenteel habits. st. Louis

At the battle of Seven Pines or Fair
Oaks the Fifth New Jersey, in conrec-
ton with the regiments of the Second
brigade and others, ably attested the
universal confidence reposed in them by
their commanders. Senator Wade, at
Bull Run, said, "Give us a brigade of
these Jerseymen and we'll beat the en-
envy still"

Union soldier had his leg shot off by a
ball from the enemy's artillery.
Captain Ramsey ordered one of his

On the way to the hospital a fragment
of shell took the already badly wounded

New YORK, Aug. Or. G. Dun e. Co. e
weekly review says in every respect save
one the business outlook is distinctly
improved. There were heavy sales of
American stocks by foreign holders and
who draw large amounts of gold from
the country indicating foreign distrust
of Americas finances. Business is good
at Milwaukee, improving in all lines. st.
Paul reports encouraging crop prospects.
Minneapolis a material increase in all
lines of trade and good business in lumber
with %stiffening prices and Duluth re-
ports shipments of iron ore greater than
last year and large receipts of coal. 1t
is within the mark to say the volume of
trade in July as indicated by clearing
houses, exchanges is fully % per cent
larger than last year and greater than in
any previous year in spite of the decline
OF D per cent in prices since a year ago.
Imports are enOrmo exceeding last
years over 10 per cent the past month
which is proof OF great activity in
domestic manufacturers and consump-
ton. Pig iron is on the whole no weaker
though Bessemer has sald at Pittsburg
for 1880 and southern sales at Chicago
have depressed gray forge to $12 equal to
SS.15 at birmingham. The demand for
bar is more active and plate sheet and
structural mills are crowded with orders.
Sales Of wool increased largely and for a
year at the three chief points are 174,-
100000 pounds against 148,OOO,OOO last
year to date.

Daniel Shea of Boston, a Harvard col
lege student and a member Of the Har-
ward crew and football team, and Sydney
Smith of Ballston, son of a wealthy and
prominent family. The men are both
fine boxers and the match was the result
of jealousy. The party left Saratoga in
two tallyho coaches and drove to
Ballston. Billy Edwards was referee and
Jimmie Larkin of New York seconded
Shea. The fight was a hard one and for
blood. Smith knocked out Shea in the
second round. Shea was badly punished
and a dispute as to the time of the
second round nearly precipitated a
general fight among the dozen spectators
and friends of the fighters. Smith
weighed 15S pounds and Shea 17S. The
time of the first round was two minutes,
the second round one minute and fifty
four seconds. The fight was with Lon

ences between the leaders of the Irish
party and Mr.. Gladstone definitely re-
resulted in such mutual confidence as

would impose upon him less arduous
duties, and only agreed to accept it when

IN DARK CELLS.
The Chain Gang Objects to Hard Uss ge

The Chain Gang Objects to Hard Uss ge
in the'sun.
Twelve prisoners, on the chain gang,
were confined in the dark cells of the
city Jail yesterday and fed on bread and
water. They refused to work unless they
had milk in their coffee at noon.time
and were permitted to eat in a shady
place. 1t is the present intention OF
the chief to keep them there until they
give in. The prisoners on the chain
gang have been receiving cold coffee at
their midday lunch, without any milk
in it. The chief, in his last report,
stated that $146.10 had been saved, the
prisoners being fed at the Jail by the
city itself, instead of their being
fed by contract, as formerly. 1t
seems reasonable that they could have
milk in their coffee at noon without re-
ducing this saving to any considerable
extent. The chain gang has been work.
ing in the hot sun at the corner OF First
and Flower streets, all day for some
time past, taking out dirt. Then at
noon the sixteen individuals comprising
it have been compelled to eat their meal
in the dust and dirt, with the rays of
the hot sun still pouring down on them.
Considering the fact that they work
with sixteen-pound ball and chain on
their legs, it would seem that some con-
sideratioD should be shown them while
they are resting at noon.
