Cost of The Brooklyn Strike.

The strike which tied up nearly all
the surface railroads of Brooklyn
during the month of January has been
the subject of ofinvestigation by a spc-
cial committee of the New York State
Assembly. This committee has Just
handed an exhaustive report on the
matter which, whatever may be
thought of the value of the conclusions
and recommendations offered, con-
tains at least one significant state
ment which is worthy Of repetition
as illustrative of the tendency of
strikes in general.
In connection with the failure to
agree and the sudden declaration of
a strike the committee says. "Arbi-
tration had not been rcsortcd to and
not even suggested by either party
previous to the declaration of the
strike. Had that been done and an
arbitration mad there is no doubt in
the minds fyour committee that the
entire difficulty might have been
avoided"
The cost of the Brooklyn trolley
strike is estimated at least s., 600, 600
of which S7jO,0OO was borne by the
strikers, S2T5 900 by the city in sup
pressing disorders, and the balance
by the railroad companies and the
public generally. Moreover, Of the
5000 men who went out not more
than ten per cent recovered their
places. Sell culture.

THE FIRST HONOR MEN.

What becomes of the first lonor
men of our colleges? asked some one
recently, and the question was ans
wered by an old Varsity man after
this fashion: "Well, well, let me
think" he said, "there was Stokes,
who took all the mathematical honors,
Give Stokes ten acre field, put
in it two good horses and one lame
horse, have six holes in the field, and
Stokes could tell the chances the lame
horse had of striking one of those
holes, and what chance had the sound
horses. Stokes ais now teaching a
country school, and | have often won

sition in the world commensurate

He has never married, and the

Columbia. July g. Special to
The Sunday News: The State Su-
preme Court has at last decided the
registration case that was brought to
the attention of the Court last fall.
The petition has been dismissed, and
the result is that the registration law
of South Qrolina has, for the time at
least, the ! Aal. sanction of the State
and the Federal Courts. The matter
is one of great importance to the
State, and the opinion has been
looked forward to with great deal
of interest. 1t is now somewhat late
and, indeed. public interest in the
result has about died out. especially
as the result of opinion has been an
ticipated for some time. 1t is some
what curious that the Court should
have been divided as it is.
The opinions of the members ofthe
Court are all separate and altogether
make up seventy pages ofmanuscript.
During the morning the views of the
Justices of the Court were much
sought after, and all day long the
papers were in the hands of lawyers,
who wanted to see what was said.
One Of the most eminent LAWYERS
who read the opinions savo .il.iis re-
sumo of the decisions:
Mr.. Justice Pope disD1isses the
proceedings on the ground that the
petitioners have plain and adequate
rehedy atlaw.
Mr.. Justice Gary dismisses the
proceedings, but on an entirely diff
fe:ent ground, but on the ground of
th' want of equity in the petition.
Justice McIver dissents from both
and iolds that the proceeding is
proper proceeding, and holds that
the petitioner is entitled to the relief
which is ssked, and declares the whcle
registration law unconstitutional, null
and void.

MERCY and MARTIAL COURAGE.
Rams Horn.

On being asked to recall an instance
of martial courage Gen. Longstreet
said: "About the most remarkable
exhibition of courage which ever came
to my personal observation occurred
| during the Mexican war at the bat
tie of Resaca de Ia Palma. 1 was
| then with Gen. Taylor, on the 9th
day of May, 1916, when he ordered
his dragons, Capt. Charlie May, to
charge the enemy's batteries. Ran
dolph Ridgely, who commanded our
battery, as May was about to charge,
called to him: 'Hold on Charlie
until draw their fire. 1 do not
know any more interesting case OF
courage and gallantry than that of
Ridgely, when he called on me to give
him the privilege of drawing the fire
that was ready fer May upon himself.
May made the charge successfully
and got the batteries of the enemy,
and as a result we were victorious that
day. I do not know of anyth ing
which was so fraught with nobility
and absolute fearlessness as this act of
Ridgely's. Both of these men were
beautiful characters.
"Can | give you as goodan instance
of mercy! Yes, hundreds. On one
occasion at the battle of Gettysburg,
as our Confederate lines were advanc-
ing, they met with temporary check
and the enemy were advancing be-
hind rocks, also, and firing upon us.
Just little in front of our line where
my men stood was wounded North
ern soldier, calling frantically for
water. "A Confederate soldier step
ped from behind his shelter, leaving
his gun, and held up his hands as a
signal to cease firing. The Union
troops, stopped when they saw his
signal, and he ran forward and gave
the wounded Yankee his canteen of
water, raising his head on his arm,
until he had drained the contents of
the canteen, then restoring him ten
derly to his reclining position on the
ground. ran back behind his rock
where he had been, and resumed the
battle: The enemy's line resumed
firing at the same time, and this
simple act of mercy passed amid the
greater incidents Of that terrible day
and doubtless of the hundreds who
witnessed it but few live to remember
or relate the occurrence.
"The bravest and best men with
whom | came in contact during two

he is in private and public life. | do

BRUTAL MURDER.
A Good Subject For The Halter.

Piedmont, July S.-Yesterday the
peace and quietude of our town wa.
again broken. Just as the 4 O'Clock
train was rolling up to the depot, Ira
Johnson, young negro man, shot
and mortally wounded Fpank Lang
ford, young whiteman of Marietta,
S. G. Mr.. Langford was visiting
friends and relatives here and went
out to the depot just before train time
with some other young men. When
they arrived they found the negro
quarreling with and abusing q boy
about twelve years old, whose father
and mother are both dead. One OF
the young men ordered the negro to
stop abusing the boy and to abuse
him if he wanted to abuse anybody;
the negro then produced a pistol, and
placing it near the young mans face
swore he would blow HE brains out.
MIR. Laagford was standing near
and ordered him to put up his pistol
and have no further trouble, and
without further ceremony the negro
turned and fired two shots, one TAX
ing effect in the upper part of the
right breast and the other in the
right part of the stomach. The ne
gro then tried to make his escape by
running, but was so closely pursued
that he took refuge in house on up
per Main street. lie was promptly
pulled out and his hands tied and in
less than thirty minutes at least 800
people were on hand, some armed
with shotguns, pistols and ropes,
shouting "lynch him. and for
short time it looked as We would have
dead negro on our hands anda COR
oner's inquest would be in order.
Earnest solicitations of cooler heads
to send him to jail and await the re-
suit of Mr.. Langford's course, at
last quietcd the crowd to a certain
extent. Three buggies were soon on
hand and FIVE well -agrAs anrsaaiarA,
mined men werebn ste &ayfo Green-
vile Jail with him. Some threats
were made to follow and lynch him
and a report Ws circulated that a
mob of negroes were waiting on. the
road and would take him FROM the
officers, but no hnger of that nature
was apprehendea, for inless than IAN
hour and half after the shooting the
guard started wiz him and of course
did give timsbsSor the mob to'col-
lect. "
Mr.. Langford was moved to the
house of friend, and was attended
by Drs. Donald 3nd Richardson, who
did everything inE Eheir power for him,
but after lingering in great agonyun
til this aftern9n, he died. Mr..
Langford was a young man ola quiet
and sober disposition and ,my infor-
nation is that he was never in any
way connected with such troubles be-
fore. lie was son Of one of the
leading men of Marietta, Greenville
county.
Johnson is considered bad char
acter and has been in the hands Of
the law several times on similar Of
fences. The pistol that he shot

Home for BOYS.

The Little Samaritans' Aid Society
will open in January,a boys home where
boys can be placed who have no good
homes The Ruel Small property on
Forest avenue, Morrill's Corner, has
been bought, and will be suitably fur
nished during this month. The home is
intended primarily for boys between the
ages OF ten and fifteen. The inmates
will be taken from those who are under
influences at home which are unfayora-
Bile for making them good and useful
citizens.
The object will be to provide an inter
mediate home for the boys. which will
stand midway between the home from
which they were taken and that for
which it is designed to fit them. The
boys will be given sound education on
the standard and practical branches.
They will probably raise their own yege-
tables and other farm products and in
this way reduce their living expenses to
a minimum. Mr.. l. G. Mosher of South
Portland, will have charge of the new
home
