| SANS Cavalry.
Mr.. Lewis Vandegrift during his recen
visit to the Worlds Fair, met with youns
man who is well known to many of oul
readers, being near relative of A. G. Cox,
family and also of T. E Hurn's and son o.
the late James and Ellen Pogue, of Della
ware City.
Anumber of years have passed since the
young man s eastern friends heard from hin,
and they feared that he had died unknown
in the far west. Mr.. Vandegrift's meeting
with him after attending one OF Buffalo
Bills Wild West Shows is thus given in the
Evening Journal:
After the show was over, we walked out
TO the enclosure where dwell in tents the
Cassock. Cowboy, German, Frencbman.
Englishman, American, Arabian and In

were resting in front Of their doors, ! came

man and entered into conversation with
them.
"The soldier among other things, re-
marked that Chicago was the farthest
East he had been for many years. That so
long ago as thirteen years he left home and
became cowboy in the West but, during
the last few years he had been fighting In
dams for Uncle Sam. While he would be
glad to GO back to his old home, he did not
know whether he would be able to get
Iather East than Chicago. 1 asked him
where he came from? He replied i came

on the proprietor and told him they would
take upa collection to pay for the hall, but
he refused to do this when the mob burst
down the doors and swarmed in, where the
bartenders and manager of the hall endea-
vored to keep them back. But the march
of the mob was like whirIwind and they
swept everything before them, smashing
furniture. mirrors and everything else.
The reserve police came upon The scene, and
drove the mob out of the hall at the revol.
ver's point, and arrested the ring leaders.
These resolutions were proposed.
"Wheras. peaceable workingmen, in their
desperate condition, forced by need and
hunger, assembled by thousands in order to
discuss and speak about their interests; and,
Whereas. the police of the Eldridge street
station used brutality to US, and to our
brethern, and even arrested three out of our
number, and,
Whereas, the saloonkeeper, FlieQman
OF Walhalla Hall, caused three arrests and
the abuse of our hungry comrades; and,
whereas. the police gave provocation in
order to make panic among decent work.

Resolved, That We protest against the
acsion OF these brutal police from Eldridge
street station house.
Resolved, That we warn workingmen in
the future to be prepared for any emergency
which may arise through the savagery of
the bluecoats, and to show their readiness
to save the honor of workingman.
After driving the mob out of the hall and
the street, 1t was broken up into little knots
that scattered in all directions:

I'VE spread rather a substantial lunch

the walters laying it out and made rush for

is that most of the men in that crowd hadn't

There are so many pleasant resorts along

of our people have found il not necessary
to go to the White Mountains or Saratoga
Springs for their summer outing, and num-
erous little parties have been made up this
summer, with the idea of perfect enjoy
ment, free from the restraints and conven-

To the tired worker there is no place on

Wilmington Conference pastors, Rev. s. L

ciated and received words of commenta-
ton from those who listened to The dis

Of Philadelphia, Rev. Mr.. Green spoke in
words appropriate and instructive. This
service in which christians of other de-
nominations fraternized cordially. was q

social circle commendable and helpful to
those who seek to recuperate the physical

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
have built beautiful and commodious

r. force next week: To-day is the regular
semi monthly pay day. but it does not look
3 as though the employees would be able to
get any money unless the company intro
2 duces the system Of paying each one of
them by check.
The banks of town have been accomo-
2 dating Young, Smyth, Field & Co., by
honorins drafts on their Philadelphia banks
and supplying the money with which the
hands in the shirt factory here have. been
\ paid.
The present scarcity of currency and the
high premium that must be paid for the
same, has caused the Peoples Bank to re-
fuse the payment of these drafts. This
morning currency is worth about $40 pre-
MUM on the $1,000, and should the bank
cash the drafts it would have to lose this
premium as the firm who control the shirt
factory do not feel inclined to pay it.
General Manager Burgess is quoted as
saying yesterday that unless the bank ad-
vanced the money the factory would have
to shut down. as he did not see any other
way out of the dilemma.
IL has been suggested, and wisely, too,
that Young, smyth, Field & Co. pay their
employees with checks These would
be received in lieu of currncy by any of
our business men, and would thus be d.
vided up among the banks in the vicinity
and would not hamper any special one in
negotiations. s
Young, Smyth, Field & Co. have never
had any account with our banks here, and
they were only used as matter of accom-.
mediation. To this they do not
object SO long as they do, not
lose anything in handling the firms
paper, but when they are arked to pay a
premium Of $50 or $40 for the privilege of
furnishing money for firm to run its busi-
ness it is beyond reason. Let them.pay by
check, and they will obviate all trouble.
