The situation as Explained nv Hugh
O'Donneli, Leader OF the strik-
crs.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July AL is
quiet here today and no change in
the situation.
PITTsBuRG, Pa, July 9.-Sheriff
McCleary will do nothing in the
Homestead matter today. He has
exhausted all his means. and develop
ments. Much excitement was Great
ed in McKeesport this morning, when
a detachment Of Homestead guards
passed through the city. The men
were armed with Winchester rifles
and marched out Fifth Avenue to-
wards Reyneldton.. They said moth
ing, and it is supposed they are
bound for some point up the river to
watch for supposed or rumcred an
rivals Of Pinkertons, or non-union
men.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 9.-Hugh
o'Donnell, the strikers leader, was
asked by an Associated Press CORES
pondent what he had to say regard
ing the assertion of Prick that only
$50 of the $500 men are directly af-
fected BY the reduction. He replied
II frankly admit the truth of that
assertion, but the situation as it now
stands is this: If the men were to
concede this point it would open the
way for a general reduction in all
departments. 1t is matter of strict
principal with the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION to stand by its men; one
and all are banded together for mu-
tual support, and the cause Of one
MEMBERS the cause of all. If the
men went back to work and con.
scented to the reduction Of wages OF
s25 Of their number, eventually the
wages of all others would be reduced.
The men win, under no consideration,
yield TO the expiration of the scale in
December The output at that sea-
son is much less, and they could not
all afford to lay idle at that time Of
the year, as there would surely be
suffering among the poorer classes.
No, sir, final adjustment must be
made now

There is Il Lutheran revolt in
Illinois against the Republicans.
Ninetenths Of the Lutheran
voters of that state have been
Republicans. A few years ago
the Republican legislature pass
ed a school law requiring that
all the schools should be taken
charge Of and directed by the
public school authorities, and
enacted heavy penalties for not
obeying it. The Lutherans, who
are very numerous and have
their own parochial schools
where certain branches are
taught in their mother tongue,
became very indignant over
this law, and through their eff
forts Illinois last legislature be-
came Democratic and Palmer
was made senator and the OBJ
jectionable law repealed. They
still are carrying on their
crusade against the Republican
party, and have been very much
gratified at the recognition Civ
en- them in the Chicago plat
form in which the religious
rights of all sects have been
fully recognized and the funda
mental doctrine Of religious lib
erty re-asserted.
This disaffection of the Luth-
Grams will, it is said, not only
carry Illinois for the Democrats
but Wisconsin also, where the
Republicans adopted a similar
law, and in the last election met
a v orse defeat than in Illinois.

should tandl ON its own BottoI


Should tand its own Bottom
We say let well enough alone,
though anything is possible in
this country. But supposing
the School Fund of the State
was paid into the State Treas
ury, and then distributed out
among the different counties,
how would Durham county
stand? She has been progress
sive in her educational matters,
and has worked up the per
capita to s. a child, both white
and colored Is there not other
counties in the State that have
done the same thing: But sup
pose the tax goes into a general
fund and distributed out by the
Treasurer then this county viii
be reduced to about 81. We
say Duplin should stand on her
own bottom. We recommend a
careful reading Of the following
taken from the Durham Sun:
A question Of very great inn
portance, affecting the interests
Of the public schools Of the
State, has been raised in Eastern
Carolina.
Tie county Commissioners
and Board of Education of
Duplin county have instituted
an action in the Superior court
Of that county to test the validi-
ty and the constitutionality Of
the present method Of distribut
ing the School Fund Of the
State. They claim that the
taxes for schools ought to be
paid 10 the State Treasury, and
then distribution should be
made 10 the several counties OF
the State per capita. Now il
~ collected and each county
draws the amount il pays and
uses ii in the respective coun-
ties; a statement being made
10 the State Superintendent Of
Public instruction Of the taxa
bic property and the amount
collected and expended in eacl
county.
OF course the question raised
by Duplin will affect the larger
and weather counties, and al
the same time reduce the per.
capita. This Is q matter that
will effect every county in the
State, and we understand that
Wayne has already employed
counsel to defend the action.
Speaking for Durham county
we take the liberty Of saying
that we oppose the action OF
DHplin county. In this county
for instance, the taxable prop
erty forschool purposes amounts
TO nearly seven millions Of dol
lars-in exact figures IL is &c.
9J9, FOG. We are progressive in
our educational interests, and
have worked the per capita up
20 S2a child, both white and col.
ored. IL our town taxes are TO
20 INTO a general State fund
and then come back 70 us as dis
tributed by the State Treasurer,
IL will DO reduced 10 about III,
certainly not more than S125
We stand upon the idea that
every county should do lis full
duty in this respect; keep up its
own schools and not ask other
counties 20 help them when they
may have O less increase in
financial wealth, and more pop
ulation that will do nothing for
itself in the way Of education
II strikes liz that the present
law III good enOugh--wisc
enough, and should stand az IL,
and Duplin county should with
draw the action IL has instituted.

A BOY KILLED.

Ran Over by the y. Il W., Train sat.
urday Afternoon.
The southbound tram on the N. &
W., Durham Division, which is due
in Durham about 7:30 O'Clock, when
about three quarters Of q mile south
Of Lennig, ran over a ten year
old white boy, killing him instantly.
From the best information we can
gather it seems the boy was watch
ing cows and laid down on the side Of
the track and went TO sleep. When
first seen by the engineerthe boy was
about thirty five yards in front Of the
engine and there was little hope for
his escape. Everything was done
that POSSIBLY could be to stop the
train, but il proved futile. About
half his head, the top part, was cut
off, leaving the chin and lower jaws
on the body. No other portion OF his
body was injured. The engine and
three passenger cars passed over the
head before the train could be brought
70 standstill. He was taken back
to Lennig, Va. We did not learn
his name.

Many years ago, In a certain very pic
turesque locality in Devonshire, where
the hills are exceedingly steep, 1t was at
tempted to establish among the inhabit-
ants case of goitre. This little silment
Is supposed only to occur In mountainous
countries, and 1t was naturally thought
1t would be an excellent advertisement OF
the place, so far as the hills were con-
cerned, to produce such q proof OF their
precipitous character. 1t turned out to
be an ordinary throat disease, which un-
fortunately yielded to remedies; but the
idea was ingenious, and, as only too often
happens, IL has been borrowed.
In an excellent hotel, where some lady
friends of mine were staying the other
day, in June, and where is supposed to be
q summer resort, they found the wind In
the northeast, the snow only just being
30 good as not to fall, fire necessary in
the sitting room, and the chambermaid
with swelling on her lower lip, which,
1t having aroused compassionate inquiry
she had the audacity to say was q
cheat bump" They feel positively cer-
tain that she had been directed by the
management to give that explanation Of
her disorder. The idea of anyone having
a heat bump in June, 1892, was simply
preposterous. Moreover, the landlady
made point, when they were all In furs,
OF going out with a sunshade.-Illus.

The inhabitants of st. Lucia, have lately
discovered a most wonderful plant. 1t
grows in a cavern In an immense basin OF
brackish water that has overflowed from
the sea. The bottom OF the basin ID
covered with pebbles and each pebble
with from one to five OF these plants,
which, for want of better name, are
termed "animal flowers"
These curious creatures, which are in
all shades of colors, remind one OF beau
tiful flower bed. To the sight they are
perfect flowers, but on the approach OF q
hand or stick they retire out of sight.
Close examination shows that the middle
of the fiower-like disc Is provided with
four filaments which move around the
"petals" with a brisk, spontaneous mo-
tion. Each of these filaments In provided
with pinchers for seixng prey, says the
Philadelphia Press.
They live upon the spawn Of fish and
marine insects. Whenever the pincher
moves the fllaments make catch" the
petals Immediately close, and there Is no
escape for whatever has been so unfortu-
nate as to fall into the voracious crea-
ture's nav.
