Nonnnionists Assaulted.

CHICAGO, Jan. 6.--Fifteen nonunion mill

afternoon and when the resulting fight was

were A. w. Partison, Charles Egers, s. F.

exception of Evans, who was pounded on
the head with a brick and Kicked in the

The trouble arose over the employment
of nonunion men in the Armour elevator on

strikers and their sympathizers attacked

were finally driven into their boarding house

were ready for them with revolvers and

this girl. Like Blanche Lamont she was
shy, had no male friends. and had been
captivated by Durrant in whom she seemed
to have confidence because of his position
in the church. Durrant had taken her to
several socials, and he appeared TO have
much to say to her after prayer meetings.
Once he had called on her al Mrs. Morgan's
and on the day she came over from Ala
media he haunted the ferry station for sew
eral hours, evidently waiting for her. She
was girl with far more experience of life
and firmness of character than Blanche,
and the theory is that her murderer met
her on the way to Dr. NogePs. and induced
her to stop at the church for a moment.

no harm, or il may be that he promised TO
get her some book or other article that she
valued. Whatever the pretext she was evil

tremendous exertions TO cover traces or his

A Mysterious Tidal wave.

A tidal phenomenon occurred in the
river on one day lately for which the
wise watermen' can give no explanation.
The young flood rushed up the river like
a tidal wave or bore, with no easterly
storm outside to account for its tre-
mendous energy. A fisherman who
hauled this nets before the ebb was
spent was astonfshed, Is minutes later,
to see his stakes swaying vioiently from
side to side under the Influence Of the
food. The fish came in great masses,
borne along help,essly by the rushing
tide, and filed the nets and burst them
or carried them away. Experienced
men, who OWNED big catch of smelts
as a result of the strong tidal current,
hauled their nets up in few minutes
after setting them, but few were so
canny as this. Nets were split, torn, and
and in some cases carried away by the
weight of fish, and some of the stakes
were lifted out of the mud, dragged
under the ice and carried off, nets ard
all. The tremendous tidal energy did
not last long enough to make it an ex-
coptionally high tide, which adds to the
mystery of the phenomenon. Some few
fishermen made enormous catches, but
a great many suffered severe losses

Men and Horse. Killed in pattle.

In regular battles the proportion of
loss among men and horses is quite
close. and in hand-to1hand combats of
cavalry, as we'll as in sharp artillery en-
gagements. for every man killed ,or
wounded there is also a dumb warrior
entitled to place beside him on the roll
of honor. The Light brigade, at Bala-
klava rode in 660 (not 6oo) strong and
lost 2s8 men, but of the 6GO horses, 36O
were shot down by the Russian guns.
In the fierce charges of the German Uhi-
ans and Cuirassicrs at Vionvil,e, Mars
k-Tour, in 1870, 1,400 men and 1.Go0
horses were killed and wounded. In the
fierce artillery contest on the same field
730 men and over 1000 horses fell
around the guns. AT Gravelotte, soon
after Mars-laTon the artillery fight
ing was also terrible, and 1900 horses
were shot down around the batteries,
though the loss Of the artillerists was
less than 1.OO0.- Our Animal Friends.

THE BATTLE-FLA6S.
An Original Suggestion From a Port
land Veteran.

PORTLAND, May 26.-(To the editor
of the Oregonian)- I'm your editorial in
this mornings issue, you advocate the
return to the South of the bsttle-Hags
captured by the Northern soldiers dur
ing the war of the rebellion and now
preserved in the capitols of the differ
ent states and by G:
of the war department 1t Washing
ton. In my opinion, these flags ought
not to be returned, but ought to be as
signed, together with the battle flags
of all the Northern and Southern
states, to the cafe keeping OF the ma
tiOnal government.
II the flags captured by the Virginia
troops are Haunted at Richmond, and
those by the New York regiment at
friction and constant reminder Of the
sectional division that brought about
the terrible conflict of 1S61-65: but
if they are all preserved in .
the emblems of American valor,
bravery and devotion. At Gettysburg
and on all other important battlefields,
stand monuments raised to perpetuate
the memory of the heroism of North
erected by the people OF the South TO
commemorate the valor of their SOL
ers. Why, then, cannot all flags un-
older which Americans fought, though
divided for time, hang side by side?
Such . display would be notice to
the peoples of the earth that, while we
may disagree among ourselves, and in
the heat of passion, may even appeal to
the eword to settle our differences, as
against auy foreign foe we are, and
will ever be, united and stand
shoulder to shoulder to up-
hold the1 honor ssnd integrity of 1the
nation. Besides, it must be remem-
bered that above these nsgs, flags from
the north and the south, from the east
and the west, would float the one
supreme dag, the starry banner of our
common country. VETERAN.
