A CHALL.ANGE,
Richard w. Austin to Gen JOS
Wheeler.

To Gen Joseph Wheeler:
My DEAR SIR--I clip the follow
ing card from the Huntsville Daily
Mercury:
DICK AUSTIN UNINFoRMED.
E iitor Mercury:
Mr. Austin's statement regarding
measures / have succeeded in getting
through Congress for the benefit of my
constituents shows that he is entirely
ignorant Of my record. More than one
hundred bills which I introduced have
become laws, and there are many bills
which introduced, and by personal ar
guments before committees, | succeeded
in getting incorporated into general bills
and thus securing their passage.
By such bills introduced by me, we
have obtained $4,000 600 for the Tennes-
see river, and great number of appro-
priations for private claims for my con-
stituents, and it was by such means that
many other measures which introduce
ed were enacted into law. Already by
my efforts over three hundred claims
have been paid to my constituents, and
l have hundreds OF other claims SO ad.
vanced that l will be able to get them
paid very shortly,
Respectfully,
Jos, WHEELER.
In answer to the above | desire to say
that during the first eight years you
were in Congress you introduced 1000
bills and petitions, and of this number
only twenty-one became laws; and one
third Of this number we're in the interest
of people who did not reside in the
Eighth District of Alabama, when there
were over 900 bills and petitions of your
own constituents unscted upon.
You secured the passage in eight years
of fourteen bills for your constituents
not an avera of two year; az at this
rate it will take you over 500 years to PISS
all of your bills and petitions.
OF the fourteen bills for your constitu.
ents, three were for granting railroad
corporations the right to bridge the Ten
nessee river-thc kind of measure To
which there is scarcely ever any opposi~
tion. You were so nd to the railroad
corporations that you actually had one
bridge bill passed twice.
You state in your card that am mis-
informed, to which reply that nv infor.
nation is derived from the sworn recorls
of Congress.
In order that the people may know
who is right and who is wrong. I suhmit
the following propositions:
II the records do not sustain NV state
ments about your work for the frst eiobt
years in Congress, l will Withdraw from
the canvass and support you.
II you will prove by the records that

INTERESTING DIVORCE SUIT.
Married Against Her Will-She Yielded
Because She Feared Being Killed.

ASHEVILLE, N. c., Dec. H.-Special.-
There was quite an interesting divorce
suit in the superior court here this morn
ing. The case was entitled Carrie Howard
against Walter Howard, and the plaintiff
was pretty woman Of perhaps, twenty
two years. She was married TO the de-
fendant, she said, on taking the stand.
against her will and in great fear of Vio-
lence, in the year 1887. According TO her
story, the defendant who had been con-
slant in his attentions to her some time
previous TO the occurrence, came TO her
home in Biltmore, while her parents were
away, under the influence Of liquor and
demanded that she marry him immediate
ly. When she demurred, he drew a pistol
and threatened TO kill both her and him
self If she did not yield without further
delay. Believing that she would be killed
if she refused, but under mental protest.
she got into a buggy, which he had in
waiting for them and came TO Asheville,
where they were married. She stated
that she was terribly frightened, and was
afraid 10 complain TO anyone lest he
should execute the purpose he had ex-
pressed to her in case of her refusal TO
marry him They lived together only
short while and she, after their separa-
tion, went back TO her parents. She was
only seventeen years of age at the time
of the forced marriage Her little brother
substantiated the material parts OF her
testimony and the jury, retiring for the
space OF only a few minutes, promptly
rendered a verdict in plaintiffs favor.
The brother, II seems. was at home when
Howard came and was enticed away by
being given some candy. Judge Bynum
gave Judgment declaring the marriage
null and void alb initio.

POLITICS AND LABOR.
A Resolution to Boycott by Ballot-Federa-
tiOn of Labor.


PHILADELPHIA, PA, Dec. 1.-THE
American Federation Of Labor convention
met at o'clock this morning. Several
telograms were received. The first was
from the Amnesty Association, of Illinois,
appealing for Endorsement of the effort
to secure pardon for the imprisoned
Chicago Anarchists. The second was
from an officer of the Coeur d'Alene
miners, appealing for assistance in Sc
curing a congressional investigation.
The most important resolution called
for the appointment Of nine members TO
consider all matters that have been re-
ferred TO the resolution committee regard
ing the action Of the militia and the
courts in relation to the Homestead,
Occur d'Alene and Tennessee troubles.
The special committee is requested TO
recommend a line OF action TO the con-
vention before Friday morning. The sug-
gestion of the committee was agreed TO
by unanimous consent Ex-senator Blair,
of New Hampshire. was introduced. and
delivered an address on the origin, char
acter and object of the Blair Educational
bill
Resolutions were presented by the COM
mittee on organizations, declaring that
the strike and boycott methods are use
less in the hands Of organized labor, when
public opinion and all the powers of our
civil, military and judicial governments
are arrayed against them, and that
wealth, invested rights and propertied
interests are subordinate to the power Of
the Government For this reason the
resolutions demand that the Government
should be by the people in fact, and that
to accomplish this it was suggested that
the powers of the ballot be added to
that Of the strike and boycott. 1t was
further suggested that a campaign of
education be instituted among working
men and working people that would re-
suit in the election of labor representa-
tives. The resolutions were referred.

ploslon-Ihe W0rk or Rescue.
LONDON, Dec. 14.-An explosion oc-
Cured to-day at the Banfurlong eolliery.
at Wigan, and not less than fifty lives
were lost.
The men went to their work as usual
this morning, and after the colliery had
been inspected in the usual way. They
had not been at work long when a ter
rible explosion shook the earth for
great distance. 1t is believed that the
explosion was caused by accumulated coal
gas, which had escaped the notice Of the
official inspector of the mine.
A hundred men remain in the mine
with their lives endangered. being un-
able to get out owing to the fire which
followed the explosion, and which Is
raging fiercely in the mine, making it
difficult for rescuers to get at the i'm
prIsoned miners.
Later.-Twenty miners have Just been
brought up by the rescuers from the
burning mine. The remainder are still
imprisoned below. The rescued were In
an exhausted condition when brought to
the top. AS each came to the surface,
the women and children crowded around
to see who they were, and those who
recognized their relatives overwhelmd
them with caresses. Strong hopes are
entertained that many OF the men will be
rescued alive.
