The Lehich Valley Strike.

BUFFALO, Nov. 20.-The striking
men on the Lehigh Valley road re-
NAMED away from the yards yesterday
and were remarkably quiet and order
ly. There is little fear of violence. 1t
is asserted that by tonight the entire
Lehigh system will be eflectually tied
up without the aid of the men on other
lines out of this city. There appears to
be little doubt, however, that the strike
will spread and possibly take in large
territory. A frame building in the Le-
high Valley yards is being rapidly con-
structed so as to serve as board and
lodging house for the men who will
take the places of the strikers. Mr.
Olmstead, who is at the head of the To-
cal management of the strikers said: sit
is likely that the men vino will next be
called out will be those on the Lacka
wanna and Central of New Jersey. To
take the men on those two systems
would effectively cripple the Lehigh.
The men on other lines will follow, it
is likely, if it becomes necessary for
them to 60 out"
The Lehigh has made a formal re-
quest ofSherif' Beck to provide suf-
iicient number of deputy sherifls to pro-
tect the company's men and employees.

yesterday visited sixty houses occu-
pied by anarchists and seized a large

The Storm in the English Channel
LONDON, Nov. 10.-There was some
abatement yesterday afternoon in the
great storm that swept over these ISL
ands. The lull was very brief and then
the gale was renewed with seemingly
increased fury. Vessels are arriving
hourly and many of them had narrow
escapes from wreck. A heavy snow
fall is reported in some parts of the
country. A train that left Saffron
Walden this morning bound for Haver'
hill got stuck in the snow, and, finding
it impossible to proceed, returned.
The snow lies in drifts twelve feet deep
on the railway. Many vessels are
ashore on the English channel. a dis
patch from Hythe states that three
masted vessel foundered off that place
to-day. A part of the crew took to the
small boats, which were swamped and
all in them were drowned. When the
vessel sank her top-masts stood above
the water. Nine men could be seen
for hours clinging to the upper rigging
with the water sweeping over them.
Distress signals were thrown up by the
stranded vessels, but no assistance
could be rendered from the shore. The
whole Kentish coast is strewn with
wrecks of large and small vessels.
CHERBoURG, France, Nov. 20.-The
German, vessel Corrientes, bound for
Lisbon, has been wrecked near Har

MARKING IMPORTANT POINTS AT APP
poMATTox.-Work has just been I'm
ished on project ofipterest that was
undertaken by the War Department
some months ago, involving the mark
ing of the important spots at and
around the old Appomattox Court
house connected with the surrender of
Lee to Grant in 1868. During the ear
ly summer it was suggested to Secreta-
ry Lamont by Mr. Kirkley, one of the
members of the board having in charge
the publication of the records of the
civil war, that it was time now to mark
these spots lift was ever to be done, as
the landmarks are fast being obliterat-
ed by the passage of years. The Sec
rotary saw the Importance of this and
immediately issued orders to have the
idea carried out Since then, Major
Davis, the head of the board, has been
working hard, and has at last succeed
ed in having all the points of interest
at AppomattoX marked in a permanent
manner. This is done by means of cast
iron tablets that are fastened to iron
posts five feet long. They are sunk
into the ground sufficient depth to Sc
cure stability, and bear the tablets,
which are about three feet long by two
high, in slanting position, 90 line
with the eye. The letters are two-and-
a.quarter inches high and stand out in
good relief SO that they can be read
some distance of. Contrast in black
and white paint give them great legi-
bility.

Now, at the commencement of Win
ter, the trainmen on the Lehigh Valley
Railroad have struck, for what they
say was an infraction ofan agreement,
but what the superintendent says was
not. If the strikers would be the only
sufferers, they would be but paying the
legitimate penalty of their folly. But,
if the strike be prolonged, the company,
which controls the coal mines, will, of
course, make it the excuse for raising
the price of coal, and that will
inflict suffering upon all the poor peo-
pie of the whole country who consume
that article But such an idea, if it ever
enters the heads of the leaders of strik-
ers, is too insignificant to merit their
consideration.

CRIMES AFTER dark have become so
common in Chicago that, as a proven
tive, all persons seen by the policemen
on the streets after a certain hour are
now arrested there, unless they can give
q satisfactory account of themselves. All
the old people ofthis city recollect when
the watchmen blew their horns here at
ten o'clock. There is little doubt that
the revival of that custom would
greatly diminish the inmates Of the Jail
and workhouse, and reduce the size of
the chain gang.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY of the
knights of labor broke up in a row at
Philadelphia last Saturday night, the
secretary having accused Chief Powder
ly of being a perjurer and forger,
and of having robbed the poor men
who are assessed to support him in
idleness and luxury, which charge he
proved by documentary evidence. But
this is not at oil surprising. Such Oh
CARNATIONS always, sooner or later, get
under the control of demagogues, who
play them for their own sordid advan-
tage, and they all, necessarily, have a
similar termination. 1t has been so
from the beginning, and will be so until
the end, for human nature cannot be
changed, and there is smoothing new that
hasn't been old.

ITHAs been determined that the man
who assassinated Mayor Harrison and
the one who shot five bullets into Del
monico's crowded restaurant, are not
insane. This being so, the former
should be hanged, and the latter be
sent to the penitentiary for life, at the
next term of the courts in Chicago and
New York. Speed in the punishment

MONDAY EVENING Nov. 20, 1893.

THE President apparently pays as lit
tie heed to democrats as he does to the
civil service reformers in the matter Of
his appointments to Office. In order to
exhibit Presidential courtesy, he has
lust appointed to a lucrative office in
Missouri man who last November
voted the whole republican ticket, con-
gressional and all, simply because he is
the brother of his predecessor, who
publicly derides him, and that too, IN
the face of the protest of the two demo-
cratic Senators and all the democratic
Representatives from that State. He
thus shows his disregard for democrats.
Though a prolessed admirer and advo-
cate of the civil service law, he has also
appointed men to distinguished posi-
tons abroad, simply because they made
large contributions to his campaign
election fund, and thereby he has so at
fronted the civil service reformers that
they have formally elected him from
their limited brotherhood But the
President has the Constitution to sup
port him, and, with that at his back, he
needn't mind his own declarations and
professions or those of any body else.

hand at the wrist, using an axe. When
found in the afternoon he was still

Mr.. CLEvELAND's SILVER LETTER.
Tho Reform Club of New York held an
eventful meeting and gave an elabor-
ate dinner Saturday night. President
Charles S. Fairchild, ex-Secretary Of
the Treasury, presided at the banquet.
When speech making arrived, Z. FL
lery Anderson gave history of the
way in which Cleveland came to write
his famous silver letter to the Cooper
Union meeting of February II, 1891.
1t was the first time, he said, it has
been told.
When it was proposed to hold a
meeting in favor of the repeal of the
Sherman silver purchasing law, An
derson said he called ona close friend
of Tammany Hall and NJ. Hill. This
man told that if letter of invitation
was written to Governor Hill salts
factory response was sure to be receiv-
ed. but he would venture to bet that
none would come from Cleveland.
"Although," said Anderson, 81 was
aware that both gentlemen were pros
pective candidates for the presidency,
and for that reason might hesitate
about committing themselves, decid-
ed to make the experiment. Next day
this same gentleman went to Albany,
and on returning came to my office
and assured me that letter would come
from Gov. Hill. The night of the
meeting was preparing to leave my
house when letter was handed to me.
1t was in Mr.. Cleveland's well-known
chirography, and was nothing less than
the famous document which landed
him in the White House. We have yet
to receive Mr.. Hills reply.

DEATH OF Mrs. D. K. MEADE.-This conf
munity was greatly shocked and greyed to
hear on Monday of the death of Mrs. ID. r.
Meade, which occurred that morning at the
home Of her husband, situated short dis
lance north of Berryville. She had been in
ill health but short time and her death is a
sad blow to her atfectionate husband and six
little children-the eldest being but II years
old-who are now motherless. Mrs. Meade
was daughter of Mr.. Drayton Meade, of
Fauquier county, and during her short resi-
dence here won the esteem of many persons
in this community by her agreeable manners
and warm heartedness. Early last year her
husband bought Mr.. W. V Green's farm, and
brought his family from Texas to this neigh
borhood during the summer of the same year.
Last March they moved upon the farm, TO
which they expected to add many improve
ments and in which Mrs Meade took lively
interest The sympathies of this community
reach out to Mr.. Mesde and his children in
their heavy bereavement. Her funeral took
place from Grace church on Tuesday morning.
and her interment took place at White Post,
where relatives of the bereaved husband lie
entombed.-Ciarte Courier.
