a lamp. AS they stopped down to look
under the bed the light went out. and

ler's room and hid. as before stated.

question Of whether juror In CRIMINAL

raised In the Criminal Court here by

the testimony in writing and uses MS
notes IN the jury-room. his action Is SUI

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:

In a card published i'm the two MORN
ing dailies of Sunday. Mr.. Joseph Bryan
takes exception to some remarks made
by me at the Friday-night meeting when
| stated that wages had been reduced
from an average OF $3.50 TO 20 per day.
Mr.. Bryan emphasizes his card by saying
that my statement was entirely errone-
GUS" He further thinks II necessary to
state the actual facts which exist under
the new system-"piece-work'
The actual facts, as related by Mr.
Bryan. will evidently appear as a revela-
ton TO the mechanics employed at the
Locomotive-W Works. as they will no doubt
contemplate receiving a handsome ball
ance that must be due them on the COM
pany's books. IL Mr.. Bryan's figures are
correct. He says tho wages paid in 1891
to mechanics was 80 per cent. more than
the wages paid in 1880. and AZ per cent.
more TO apprentices or beginners than
was paid in 1890.
| have found I'm my experience in work
shops that the man who drew the wages
was better able 10 judge how much ne
was getting than the man who had no
direct connection with the establishment;
and IL Is no exception in this case. as the
Information | gave out in my remarks AZ
the Old-Market meeting was gotten from
men who have been and are now work
mended by Mr. Bryan was never an
employee OF the Richmond Locomotive
Works but have IL from good,
reliable men who have worked there
that the average wages paid me-
chanics in 1880 was $3.50 per day, and,
according TO Mr.. Bryan's statement. this
same class of men would to-day be re-
ceving about 3 Is per day, and l have
serious doubts II there is single me-
chanic Gourneyman) In the Locomo-
tiye-Works to-day receiving such wages,
| care not whether he be working day
work or piece-wo 1 believe. also. that
very few OF the foremen in the different
departments are paid even this much.
especially since their wages were cut
In two during 1894. At any rate, l am
anxious TO learn IL such be the case at
present.
Mr.. Bryan says the mechanics are paid
lat agreed prices. instead OF day-pay."
and he may be sincere In what he says,
but he does not seem TO know all the
workings of the system. otherwise he
would not have said agreed prices
because there ara too many Instances In
which this statement will not hold good,
as have quite frequently heard men say
that prices were cut on many jobs after a
contract had been signed by the company
and part OF the work done.
am anxious TO see some actual figures
given 10 the public OF the prices paid
now, as we'll as those paid in 1880. When
such figures and Jobs are specified, I will
have something more to say. In the mean
time my statement OF wages having been
divided by two stands without sufficient
contradiction. JAMES O'CONNEI.L.

ores. and the present owners-the Lang
hornes and Andersons. heirs OF Captain
Jacob Kent, who has been dead for many
years--have given an option to the Bertha
zinc Company, OF Pulaski City. with
view TO a sale. This company. which has
operated on large scale for years, have
been prospecting for several months. ana
have opened up the ore In various places.
The quality Is said to be very fine. but
there seems 10 be some doubt as 10 tne
quantity. A thorough investigation Will
be made. and the transfer Of the property
will depend upon the result. Up to this
time ali the ore smelted by the zinc COM
pany at Pulaski City has been brought
by rail from the edge Of Wythe county.
from mines owned by the company.
Should ore be found In paying quantities
at Shawsville 7 will add greatly to the
business OF the company and at the same
time boom that neighborhood.
KENTUCKY CATTLE.
Mr.. c. III. King and Mr. Frank Bell
have recently returned from Kentucky,
bringing With them a carload OF fine
short-horn cattle Cor breeding purposes.
They made the trip as agents FOR them
selves and other cattle-growers In the
neighborhood. These cattle will be placed
II
in the county, and will be a great adj
vantage to the stock OF the county. Beer
cattle are doing well. Pulaski county Is
well stocked, and there is good pros
pect for grass. The cold weather OF
January and February was especially
hard on sheep and lambs. some growers
losing about half their lambs. As con-
sequence shipments In this line will be
comparatively light.
Nearly all the lambs are sold already
for delivery In May and June. but the
price has not advanced in proportion to
the decrease in number. Hogs are scarce,
but not high. Many have died with
cholera in the last month.
Wheat IL looking unusually well. the
fruit-trees are covered with blossoms,
the farmers are we'll up with their spring
work. and everything indicates a pros
porous year.
Mr.. Adam Miller. an old and respected
citizen of this county. died on Saturday
night. and was buried yesterday. lie was
10 years of age. and had been In Feeble
health for a long time. He was born and
reared in Pulaski county. and leaves
