The republican congressional conyen-
ton for the First district met at Fred
ericksburg yesterday, and adjourned
without making nomination. A mo-
ton prevailed that the convention re-

ton is desired when the convention
again meets.
H. L. Williams, of Michigan, had a
fall of $50 feet at Staunton, yesterday,
from balloon. He assembled from the
Fair grounds, and was to descend in a
parachute. The parachute was wet
from hard rain, and would not open.
Williams came down like an arrow,
falling about twenty feet from where he
assembled. He was picked up uncon-
scious, but is thought to be out of dan
ger. No bones were broken. The soft
condition of the low ground upon
which he fell doubtless saved his life.

No REcoGN1r1oN OF THE UNION.

No RECOGNITION OF THE UNION
All of the roads in New York on which
the strike recently occurred are fully
manned now, and the usefulness Of the
new men increases from day to day.
The New York Central, since tie
strike began, has taken back small
percentage of the ninety men who left
its employ. 1t is said by the officials
that others will be restored to positions
on the road if they apply for reinstate.
ment and a vacancy exists. The old
men of the Central were paid off yes
terday. Striking workmen of the LIE
high Valley road will be taken back
only as individuals. AS laid down in
the circular of President Mcleod, no
new man whose services are satisfac-
tory will be compelled to give up his
position in order to make room for men
who deserted the company. 1t was
said that numerous requests for re-em-
ploy had already been made. The
Erie road, it is said, will adopt similar
course in treating with the old men.
No concerted effort has yet been made
by the old employees of the Lake
Shore to regain their places. 1t is
thought very likely that q large per-
centage of the men on the various
roads who struck through sympathy,
will eventually be restored to their
places.

LINDEN, Va, Aug. %.
The weather has been intensely hot,
and, according to the account of the
old folks, the hottest weather for forty
five years has been visited upon us dur
ing the present summer. 1t is more
pleasant this morning. the mercury
having settled down in the eighties.
Our Methodist friends are building a
handsome church here at cost of
$4,000.
1t is all quiet along the Blue noun
tains, but the dawn of any day may
bring to our ears the boom Of the first
campaign gun fired within the borders
of the Old Dominion.
The democrats are organizing their
forces; their banners are being unfurled
and sentinels are taking their places in
the watch tower. The issues are the
tariff and force bills; and / say woe unto
the force bill party. If the republican
party hopes to carry the colored vote
of the Virginias in November, it will be
mistaken. The colored voter is becom-
ing moro enlightened every day; the
ballot is becoming moro serious, and
they have learned where their true
friends are to be found. Mr. Cleve-
land will carry both Virginias, and l
know whereof speak.

THE WIVES of some strikers in Balti-
more have sent u petition for help to
the Mayor of that city, in which they
say
eve have small children, and we are
all starving. The grocers and butchers
will not trust us any more. 1t is almost
nine weeks that this strike is going on.
Our husbands can get a glass of beer
for five cents and can go around with
that all day, but we cannot do that.
When our husbands come home we
scold them, so they get discouraged
and walk out We have pawned our
things"
Even suppose that the strikers in the
case referred to have all the right, JUS
tice and equity involved, on their side,
how unwise they must be to put their
families to such misery as is indicated
by the above petition. If they were
dissatisfied with their places, why not
obtain others before they gave them
up? All the world over half loaf is
better than no bread ut all.

IT REALLY seems that striking is a
craze and that strikers are bereft OF
their reason. Notwithstanding the OBJ
iect lesson that had just been taught
them, and the demonstrated determine
tion and ability of the Carnegie people
10 manage their own affairs in their
own way, the employees in another one
of their mills at Pittsburg struck yes
terday because some non-union men
were put to work there. But there is
Bible authority for the statement that
there are people who though prayed in
a mortar will be the same sort of people
still.

The Cholera.

LONDON, Aug. 26.-There is now no
doubt that choler. has at last entered
England The disease was brought
here by the steamer Comma, which ar
rived at Gravesend yesterday from
Hamburg. 1t was reported that the
steamer was infected, but the authori-
lies, after examining the passengers,
allowed them to land. A few hours
after, two persons who had arrived on
the Comma were taken sick and the
doctors pronounced their malady
cholera. In spite of everything that
was done for them they died. To-day
the steamer Laura arrived at Lynn
from Hamburg. The health officials
found two cholera suspects on board
and the vessel was at once ordered to
put back to sea. The officers and pas
sengers protested against such sum-
mary treatment, but the health officers
positively refused to let single person
land from the steamer.
ANTWERP, Aug. 26.-The cholera
seems to be at q standstill here. No
new cases have been reported since
yesterday morning.
BERLIN, Aug. ga thunder storm
has passed over this city. The air has
been cleared and the weather is much
cooler. 1t is asserted that before Prof.
Koch left Hamburg he telegrphed that
the cholera in that city, despite every
effort of the authorities to check it, is
increasing. Over 500 cases of the dis
ease, he says, have been recorded, and
of this number nearly 800 have proved
fatal.
ST.. PETERSBURG, Aug. 26.-The
returns of yesterday show another up
ward jump in the number of new cases
reported. The deaths also show an in
crease.
BERLIN, Aug. 26.-orders have been
issued to stop the railway traffic with
Russia at every point along the frontier
of East Prussia with the exception of
Eydtkohnen and Prostken.
New YORK, Aug. 26.-Health Off
Ger Jenkins this morning tclesraphed
from quarantine as follows: steamers
will be inspected most carefully Any
steamer having suspected cases or hay
ing had deaths on board viii he held
until a archaeological examination
can be made, and if cholera is found all
persons on board will be held at least
7 days, the sick will be removed and
placed in hospitals, all baggage as well
as the vessel will be treated with steam
and all parts of the vessel not subject
ed to steam will be washed with a So
luton of bichloride of mercury l
recommend that all emigrants undergo
a most thorough inspection on board
vessels. Rags from infected or sus-
pected districts will not receive
permits from me. The health authori-
ties of New York and Brooklyn will
not land rags without such permit.

TIE SINGLE tax people have joined
the third party and will make common
cause with them and the republicans
against the democrats next November,
At recent meeting of the single tax
men at Reading, Pa, the following
resolution was adopted:
eve assert as our fundamental prin-
ciple that all men are equally entitled
to the use of the earth:
Therefore, no one should be per-
mitted to hold land without paying to
the community the value of the priv
ilege thus accorded; and from the fund
so raised all expenses Of government
should be paid.
I'VE would therefore abolish all
local, State and national taxation, cS-
cept tax upon the value of land eX-
elusive of improvements. This tax
should be collected by the local gov
ernment and certain proportion be
paid to the State government >
How would the poor land owners in
Virginia like to have the ideas contain
ed in this resolution applied to them?

son - ordered it 'off'-for a consldera-

head of them cannot be relied upon,

those of them who have had industry,
intelligence and thrift enough to acquire
any material interest in the South
would know that republican success
next November, by securing the pas
sage of the Force bill, would decrease,
if not ruin, the value of every such in
terest, and they would therefore unite
with those of their white neighbors who
also have interests in the South to pre-
serve and promote, and who consequent
ly are doing all they can to maintain
peace and order in this section of the
country, as general, is conducive to in
