They stormed claudon's Lunch.

Ahoy obOIuou SiduuOn . AunSA'
A neat card invitation, signed
"E. p. Claudon," was received on
last Saturday by leading citizens,
officials, politicians, newspaper
men and others, to attend the
opening of the lunch stand, at the
Butchers Exchange saloon. Mr..
Claudon bad secured the services
of famous New Orleans chef, and
the expected dish OF maccaroni
was drawing card. At an early
hour Mr.. Claudon's guests began to
arrive, and the jostling, merry
crowd threatened speedy demol-
ishment of the ham and tur-
key, and other solids, as
we'll as the colonel's stock
of liquids. Local statesmen
hobnobbed with the common voter;
newspaper men wiped their greasy
lips over the feast, and all went
merrily until, between 8 and 10
o'clock, the City brewery brigade
marched into the spacious ex-
change through its four doors and
virtually took possession. One OF
the high chiefs of the brewery was
in command and with imperial
manner he ordered the kegs to be
opened wide and allowed to run free
until all the ammunition was ex-
hausted. Claudon in picking up
the seven baskets OF fragments
next morning, had to throw his
own limp body into the scale to
make up a decent remnant. What
princes the breweries produce Col.
Clandon says another such an
opening and the war will be ended
ed. Victory does not always mean
success.

KNIGHTS oFLARoR

The CHEF public interest in the meeting of
the Knights of Labor in Washington yester-
day was the address of General Master Work
man Sovereign. Much of Mr. Sovereign's ad-
dress was devoted to the alleged treachery of
those who headed the revolt against the gen.
eral officers of the order during the past year.
He claimed that for the first time, the order
now presented to the world solid and uu-
| broken front, battling for the brotherhood of
man and the freedom Of labor from the thral-
dom of greed.
labor is now between the devil and the
| deep sea-" he continued, capital has monopo-
| ljzed the elements of production and labor is
in competition with itself for the right to
live. A money oligarchy is fast wiping out
the last yestige of individual liberty. Con
struction by judicial authority is already
given to law placing all labor organizations in
the category of criminal conspiraces. Misde-
meanors of the most trivial character have
been raised to felony without sanction of law
and used to imprison representatives of labor
organizations, and injunctions, followed by
charges of contempt, have been used to con-
denim labor leaders to the felon's cell without
evidence of guilt or trial by jury"
He made some suggestions as to the best
methods of strengthening the order, but the
principal feature of the address was his ap-
peal to the General Assembly to give to his
recent order boycotting national bank notes
its official sanction.

GENERAL RossER's LECTURE.-The
appearance of General Rosser in this
city is anxiously anticipated by many
of our citizens, his lectures on the late
war having been 50 justly praised in
other cities. The General was in
Lynchburg this week, and there was a
large turnout to greet him. His de-
;scriptiops of the military operations OF
the late civil war that fell under his
own personal observation were exceed
IL interesting. The lecture is illnstrat-
ed by fine stereopticon views. Begin
ming with the John Brown raid on
Harper's Ferry he described with
graphic effect the campaigns and battles
in Virginia in which he participated
from First Manassas to Appomattox.
Coincident with his verbal descriptions
illuminated representations Of the per-
sons and scenes were thrown upon a
large canvas in full view of the audience.
The two most lively descriptions were
those of First Manassas and Gettys-
burg. His concluding remarks were
addressed to the younger portion of bis
audience in an imprisoned appeal to
hold in honor and reverence the mem
ory of their fathers who had hazarded
their lives in vindication of what they
religiously believed to be their just
rights. General Rosser will deliver his
lecture in this city on Thursday night.
