Phil Sheriiau.s shoes.

A good story of General Sheridan was told the other day by a Mexican, an intimate friend of the great northern soldier in his lifetime. One day, call ing on the commander of the army at his office in Washington, he found him at his desk, his feet incased in slippers and his shoes democratically placed on the top of the desk While the general was apparently absorbed in some writ ing the Mexican gentleman, who thought some servant had left the warriors shoes in the wrong place, took his cane and gently deposited the shoes on the floor. The next day the Mexican called again on Sheridan and found him at his desk, shoes on top, as before. The polite resi- dent of the tropics began once more re- moving the shoes to the floor, when all at once Sheridan reared out:
 Don't you do that again. sirl You n.ase me ridiculous, sirr'
 ''1 beg your pardon, general. but how have made you ridicui6Ssi'
 "Why, sir," said Sheridan, still afr- noyed, yesterday. sir. went out to walk after you had called on me Twas nearing the White House when l mo- ticed gentleman looking at me intent ly Soon he addressed me. saying, 'Ex- cuse me. general. but aren't you afraid of catching coldT' Why, sir. no. not that an aware of.

The CnIIforn.a Situation.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1S.-The South ern Pacific company continues to run pas sengcr trains moro or less regularly dur ing tho hours of daylight, but at night trains are still being abandoned. Nonun- ion train crews arc now flocking to divi- sion headquarters and this is probably the reason why so few freight trains arc being moved. The first fruit train dispatched for the cast since tho strike was ordered by Dcbs has been sent out of Sacramento.
 At Sacramento the only exciting incl dent was tho dispatching of n train bearing 50 United States regulars to Dunsmuir on tho Oregon branch. The company's agent at Dunsmuir reported that the strik- CTS there w.'rc becoming ugly.
 Tho strikers at Sacramento continue active however Monday several hundred men who had obcyed tho order to strike returned to work in the machine shops Tuesday most of them remained away. The nISn lave been intimidated by the strikers and feared violence Rt tbe hands of the American Railway union when they went back to work.
 In Oakland, as well as in Sacramento, the railroad officials arc meeting with diff culty in getting enough men to run their shops and man their trains. Many men arc escorted to and from their work by troops of cavalry. The passage of these odd looking prnccssions through the streets of Oakland aGurlcd about the only excite mcnt at tldt point.

Is the Red Hand of Revolution Neces- sary in this Coun- 
Why Talk Of the Bullet When all can be accom-
 pIished by the Ballot.

The above are the ringing words of T. ". Pawderly, and who will say that they are not truthful words? If ever there was a time when the patriotism of the people of this country should be awakened, NOW IS THE TIME. An ounce of prevention is worth oceans of cure. Washington and our fathers fought and won our liberties by the bullet; it is for us to preserve them by the ballot. There is no intelligence in talking anarchy to the American voter. The inventive genius of the American people has found better way to redress any social evils which may arise. That social evils do exist, no sane man will question; but physical force Is the stage coach of a barbarous age. WE WANT THE MIRACULOUS ELECTRIC BAL LOT THAT DECLARES 12,0O0,O VOTERS TO BE KING in 24 hours. Can we afford to trifie with the sacred character of the Declaration of Indepen- dence and our American constitution Behold what the Waterbury Furniture company has gained by applying intelli- gent methods to business enterprise People are coming from every quarter of the state to see our magnificent warerooms filled with goods of every quality and de sign. Every mother and every mothers child knows that when they come to us they will get 100 cents worth of goods for every dollar they spend. We take pride in watching the market closely. for the cheaper we can buy our goods, the cheaper we can sell them to the customer.
 We have another carload of those Cham Der Suits and Parlor Suits that have been such a welcome surprise to the people. Remember we have the best storage ware house in the state and you can have your goods under lock and key. night watchman in the building.

Dynamite Under n Train.

MIr-oULA. Mon, july lS.-An cast bound Northcrn Pacif> train, the first in 16 days, was wrecked at n point about two miles east of hcre by n dynamite cartridge concealed in the track.
 The engine had barely struck the spot when n terrific explosion was heard. the shock shattcring the pilot and right cyl finder and piston rod. It also broke the windows of the cab and mail car.
 Had the engine gone fairly over the cartridge the result would have been more disastrous, some eight coaches consti- tutod the train, which was loaded with troops and passengers. The strikers de- nouncc the outrage. Thcro is considerable feeling hero over the return to work of some engineers and conductors, and 1t Is expected that some one in sympathy with the strikers adopted this method of deter ring further progress.
 X trcstlo loo feet long three miles west of hero and one l5O feet long on the Ceur d Alcno branch were burned.

The strike InyestIgatIon.

wAsHINGTON. July 1S.-It Is understood that tho selection of the commissioners to investigate the latc strike was under dis cussion by the cabinet, but SO far thcro arc no open indications of speedy action in the matter. Tho president Is disposed to act with the greatest circumsPcction in choosing men of national reputation whose findings are likely to carry weight with the entire American public.
 Aside from this, one explanation for the delay Is probably to be found in the belief by the president that the labor lead CTS have not yet completely met the con dition he imposed as precedent to the ap- pointmcnt of a commission, for the re- ports that come to hand daily show that lawIessness and obstruction still exist in many places in the west.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

A long distance telephone was today put in position in Bossidy's drug store.
 -TLe Misses Josephine and Annie Flana- gan of Riverside street. are visiting friends in Union City.
 A handsome banner has been hung out on Bank street. announcing the state funniest of the Turner society on the West End grounds.
 David Schrieber, whose stock of goods was damaged by fire in his store in the Humphrey block, Bank street, will soon treat the people of Waterbury to a big fire sale. Everything will be disposed of at some price. The store will be repaired as soon as possible and the proprietor ir- tends to dispose of all the damaged goods and reopen with a full line of all new stock.
 Michael O'Brien of 23 Third street, muffieman at Randolph d Cloves factory. met with a serious accident while St work to-day. A bar of metal fell from the mouth of the muffie and bounded on the floor striking him a stunning blow in the pit of the stomach. The man was picked up iu- sensible and carried to the office of Dr Frost where his suffering was somewhat relieved. It is difficult to tell at this time how seriously the man is injured.
 Oho OA eac PAopfAg cOutu Wilson street says the residents of that section of the city are greatly indebted to the DEMOCRAT for calling public attention to the condition of the streets and the ne- cessity of doing something with them at once. He said it did not make much diff ference whether the streets should be run exactly in the lines mentioned. The question that concerned them most was to get the new streets opened and have some repairs made on the ones that have been opened for years. He said it would take a man a whole day to go over the territory and look at the different streets that have been neglected by the members of the pre- vious boards. That part of the city is des- tined to become the workingman's para disc and within q short time the electric cars would pass through there bringing the residents within a few minutes ride of the center and the different factories around town.

over the attack of striking fninera on the nonunion men and deputy sherfffs at Pratt's mines on Monday night. The ali has been thick with rumors as to the number of killed and injured in the bat tie, some of the reports placing the list of dead at 12 and tho wounded nt I50 but from trustworthy information 1t is learned that the list given Is correct Six men wero killed and about I5 wounded. It is impossible to secure a full list of the wounded on account of the action of the rioters in hurriedly taking their injured from the field and secreting them. The dead are B. W. Tieroe, chief of the guards: John Fibre, a French rioter; three un- known negro nonunion minors; Anthony Carroll, n negro miner.
 Tho wounded as far as known are George Campbell, n negro miner, will die; Roderique Reguez, n striking miner, will die; Caleb Jones, a striking miner; Phillip Steinetz striker; Barney Anderson, n negro nonunion miner
 The indignation of the citizens at the outrage reached n climax when a mass meeting was held to denounce the strik- CTS. Strong resolutions were adopted, and a committee on public safety was appoint cd to aid the authorities in bringing the guilty parties to justice. Speeches were made by prominent citizens, in which the strikers were denounced as bushwhackers and asSassins. Governor Jones was highly praised for his prompt action in taking steps to suppress tho rebellion.
 The miners arc guarded by 15 compa- nies of soldiers, with orders to shoot to kill, and if another attack ;s made the troops will make short work of the riot CTS. Fifty-four strikers were arrested dur ing the day, and 30 more will be arrested The prisoners were brought to Birming- ham and arc being guarded by n strong force of deputy sherifrs at the Jefferson county jail
 Two unsuccessful attempts to burn loaded freight cars were made in the Geor- gia Pacific yards. An attempt was also made to wreck passenger train No on the Louisville and Nashville railroad. A lock was broken and the lock turned wrong, but the engineer discovered it in time to save the lives of nearly 100 passcn- gers.

ARRESTS AT FLORENCE.
Men Who Pursued the Constables
Placed on Parole.

GAGCbO O4l Z dIOAos
Florence, S, c., April 4-The citizens
of Florence were greatly startled this
morning by the announcement that the
men who took the guns from the armory
on Friday last and participated in the
pursuit of the constables would be ar
rested by the militia. The disposition at
first was to resist, but the mild methods
adopted by the officers induced the men TO
acQuiesce in the action taken The men
who took the guns were summoned 10
the court house. where Col. N G.. Evans.
commanding in the absence Of Gen. Far
ley, has established his headquarters
They assem- bled there about 10 O'Clock
and conferred with Col. Evans and Mai
Joseph Wardlaw. They were asked for
their names and roll was made. The
roll was then read with a request that
those who had entered the armory and
taken the guns would respond
as their names were called
The following Ave men responded;
L. f. Douglass. 7. +. Wallace. J w
Hammond, j. T. Pendergast and h. p.
Pawley, all of whom are merchants.
Evans made a short address. He said
that martial law was in force, and that
he was ordered to arrest these gentle.
men underit. Asit was not desired TO inter-
fere with their business he would place
them on parole not to leave the CITY limits
and would require them to report to Ma.
Wardlaw every morning at 10 O'Clock.
No steps have been taken yet TO oppose
the action Of the officers. II is possible.
however, that habeas corpus proceedings
may be begun before Chief Justice McIver.
This will largely depend, however, upon
the action Of the officers and the manner
in which the arrested men are treated.
The tents for the military nave arrived
but there is as yet no disposition TO pitch
them. The indications are that the force
may be withdrawn before the end Of the
week, and possibly sooner.
Gen Farley went over to Bishopville
early this morning. 1t is thought that his
visit may have some connection with the
action of the Bishopville Rinesin going to
Darlington when ordered, and then turn
ing back.
