A WET LABOR DAY.

Few Signs OF Observance Except the feo-
pie and Umbrellas on the streets--Ths
Scotch Alone CcIebratrd-senasor F1ina
Wants to Amend the Law.
Yesterday was Labor Day, anda misera.
BILE day it was, too There was rain nearly
all day, persistent, dull. foggy rain, not
very often heavy, but always wet There
were many people on the streets, for fac
tories and mills were generally closed. The
sidewalks down town were crowded with
wet and sloppy people and obtrusive um-
brellaS There were no parades. The
workingmen have been idle so long this
summer that they did not feel like pa
rading. Besides, if they had wished to
parade, the weather would have interfered
The Scotch games on the ground of the
Allegheny Athletic Association were the
only big outdoor features, and the rain took
all the fun out of that affair. The sky
cleared Just after noon, and about 800 peo-
pie went to the ground. There was q
parade along the streets leading to the
park, with plsids and bagpipes, but just
about the time matters were ready for the
opening, the heaviest rain of the day began
and continued for over an hour. AT
O'Clock there was 8 lull, and the games went
on in the mud.
The machinists tried to picnic at Rock
Point, and the carpenters also at Ross
Grove, but the crowds were small and the
rain spoiled both of them.
A few flags were hung out, and dropped
motionless in the rain. The banks and
other business offices were closed, but the
municipal offices in Allegheny were all
open. In Pittsburg, however, the offices in
City Hall were closed Many people called
to pay taxes aud to transact other business,
but went away disappointed. Senator
Finn was about the hall and recognized the
condition of things. He expressed. the
opinion that Labor Day and Saturday half
holidays were not intended for city and
county employees, but for working men and
women, and he volunteered the information
that he intended framing an amendment to
the law, making it inapplicable to city and
county Offices, that they might be present to
attend the working people" on day
when the latter could find them.

SILK CULTURE IN GEORGIA,

The Old Sa,zburgers still Working at q
Nenrly-Forgotten Industry.
Harper's Magazlne.l
The most distinctive industry of the Salz-
burgers was the culture of the silk-worm
and the weaving of silk. Even as far north
as Virginia much care was bestowed on silk.
General Oglethorpe shared in this general
enthusiasm, and encouraged the industry
among the colonists. As far back rs 1873
the trustees of the province induced Nico-
las Amatis, of Piedmont, to remove to Geor-
gia. Besides his family, Amatis took with
him his servant, Jacques Camuse for the
special purpose of rearing silk-worms and
manufacturing silk.
In 1875 the Salzburger pastor, the Rev.
Mr.. Bolzius led In introducing the indus
try among his people. In 1742, 800 mul-
berry trees were sent to Ebenezer, and a
machine vas erected for preparing the silk,
By the year 1750 nearly all the English had
abandoned the silk industry. But The Salz-
burgers persevered, and in 1751 they sent
over to England 200 pounds Of cocoons

the province encouraged the industry bv
giving to each female who should learn the
art of spinning reeling machine and R2

All about the old church at the present
Ebenezer there are still mulberry trees no
doubt the neglected descendants of the
original planting century and half ago.
Indeed, the present Salzburgers have not
quite given up the working in silk. I

Tender on His Markmanship.

John Brennan, of Camp Meigs, W. Va,
came to Pittsburg yesterday to spend the
day. While passing along Liberty street
last night he dropped into shooting gal
lery and took few shots at the targets.
The proprietor made few remarks at his
failure to hit the target, and Brennan told
him not to interfere. 1t is alleged the pro-
prietor hit him in the face and Brennan re-
turned the blow. A private watchman
came along and locked Brennan up.

The Favored lover BADLY Wounded by a
Rullet in the Breast.
HIS AssAILASr AT ONCE ARRESTED

Two United States soldiers, stationed at
the arsenal, on Penn avenue, quarreled
about woman at an Allegheny dance last

the dancing floor.
The dance was given by Slavonic Or

English. The dance last evening was
largely attended by young Slavs of both
sexes and the hall was crowded. There
were some Germans present Two police
officers stood at the lower door. but could
not see what occurred in the dance hall on
the second floor. Only soft drinks were
sold at the bar in the building, but there
was constant procession to and from sa-

Two Soldiers and One Woman.
John Payanko and Michael Slaine, pri-
Yates in the ordnance corps and located at
the United States arsenal, went to the ball
in plain clothes. Payanko was accompanied
bya pretty, dark haired young woman of
Lawrenceville. During the evening the
young lady danced with both men sew
eral times, and Payanko appeared to be
jealous. Each man slipped out sew
eral times to the saloon.
At about O'Clock the lady was dancing
with Payanko, when Slaine stepped upon
the floor, and stopped them, laying his
hand upon the other mans shoulder. As
Payanko turned to him, Slaine said, 'This
is my dance"
Payank9 instantly struck mis- rival and
