A Demand For Farm Labor

ST. Paul, July 3l.-The scarcity OF
farm labor in the great wheat fields
Of the northeast made itself apparent
yesterday when the railroad offices re-
ceiyed appeals by wire and mail ask
ing for their aid in behalf of the farm
ers whose wheat crops are threatened
because they cannot secure laborers to
harvest the grain. The employment
agencies are advertising all over the
country. but can find very few avail
able men, The wages offered run from
~ to s. rs day and board.

car Troubles.
Cleveland, July withstanding
the fact that big crowds were upon
the streets yesterday, there were no
outbreaks of violence, and apparently
very little attention was paid to the
Big Consolidated cars, which ran on all
lines on schedule time. On the south
side and out Broadway to Newburg
the cars were run practically empty,
but the east side lines, especially those
running to the parks, were well patron-
lied, though they carried fewer pas
sengers by far than usual ON fair Sun
days.
Ad1utant General Axline, speaking OF
the fear of the people to ride on tha
cars in certain sections of the city at
night, said:
This state of affairs is likely to
continue for several weeks or months
unless a settlement is reached. The
only way to put stop to it is to de-
clare martial law That will require
1000 or 5000 soldiers, and every street
will be patrolled. Everybody will be
required to remain indoors after GER
tain hour and all who are out after
that time without permit will be ar
rested. But martial law would put al
end to the trouble efectually,"
The only exciting incident on the
south side was the hold up of an ice
cream wagon by crowd of soldiers,
who took from it four gallon freezer
full of cream. They offered money for
the cream, but the driver of the wagon
refused to accept it, saying he could
not sell it. The soldiers say they or
dered the cream several days ago, and
the dealer promised to deliver it, but
it did not come probably because of the
boycott. When the soldiers saw one of
the company's wagons coming yester-
day they stopped it,

worse. The last rites were adninistere
by Father Kelley, of Savannah. The ent
was quiet and peaceful.

OF Wilmington. N G. In 1869 during the
SESSIONS of the Ecumenical Council at
Home, Bishop Becker was in charge of the
archdiocese of Baltimore during the al
sence OF Archbishop Spaldlng
Fer some time it was thought that Bsh
op Becker would succeed to the archcp!s-
copal see OF Baltimore and IL was said
that ono OF the reasons why he did not
meet with p efermert was on account OF
his dispute with the Jesuits of the Eastern
Shore of Maryland.
In 1885 Bishop Becker succeeded Bishop
Gros, as bishop of Savannah, Bishop Gl oss
being tran ,ferred to Oregon.

Archbishop Spalding Bishop(hen Father

linguist. He was one of tho chief Sec
rearies of the plenary council of Balti-
moro,
Bishop Becker contributed largely to re-
views and periodicals, and his se.i,s of
articles in the American Catholic Quar-
terly on tho idea of true university at
tracted much attention
To Bishop Becker belongs much of the
credit for the splendid condition of the
Wilmington diocese to-day. He was the
organizer of the diocese and the founder
OF St James Protectory for Orphans Boys
at Delaware City. He was noted for bis
charity, and had many warm friends IL
mong members of all denominations

Is Senator BeyerIdpe Home A1oinS

San Francisco, July 3l.--It Is belie~>
ed here that Senator Albert ]. Bever-
idge, of Indiana, is inside the Golden
Gate on board the steamship City of
Peking, which is at the quarantine
station. The passengers are not al
lowed to hold communication with the
shore, and there is a general belief
that he may have taken passage under
an assumed name. This would be ex-
planned if Senator Beveridge had se-
cured permission from Japan to be
secretly transferred from the quaran-
tined Empress of India, at Nagasaki,
to the City of Peking.

Prison Guards Use Dumdum Bullets.
Chicago, July 3l.-rhe Tribune says:
Every guard on the penitentiary walls
at Joliet is armed with a new Mauser
rife, and the rifles are loaded with
"dumdnm' bullets. The bullet Is tho
one that was denounced in the peaca
conference at The Hague as a bar
barous implement of warfare. When
the bullet is fired into body the soft
nose tiattens and spreads, and the long
proJectile makes small hole on en-
tering. but in passing out it tears
away the flesh and leaves a ragged
wound. sometimes as large as a mans
hand.

items FROM
NEW CASTLE,
Correspondence of the REPUBLICAN,

July 81. 1872
The peole of New Castle would like to
SOC the city go head. In order to see such
progress tho children in the Sunday and
public schools will have to be impressed
with the responsibility that rests upon
thcm. 1t is idlo vapor to talk about i'm
proyeinents II the people arc not heart
and soul IN the movement 1t is wise
move on mau who has been in debt to
pay tho old debt before no contracts
another debt. IL is the same with New
Castle. II is ber place to pay her debts
first, get on a solid basis, and then gin
the go ahead Improvement.
There are Il number of improv ements
needed before market house graces the
city. viii the people support the men
who would have stands in the market
house? Will the people from the wost end
pass by the we'll regulated stores in that
Section of the city to purchase the truck
and other articles In the market house?
1t would cost money to erect market
house and New Castle cannot spend
money at present! If ever the times
comes when the taxes on all the property
nre collected then the city will begin to
move. Then there will be chance to have
good Streets good government and the
fullest share possible of prosperity for
New Castle.
One of tho first moves needed at tho
pres is to give encouragement to the
railway company 80 continue its line to
Delaware City Th,n encourage every.
thing local and stand up for New Castle
but do not buy silver handle knives until
the bono handle onos are paid for. In
other words do not ask the city to do
which 1t cannot furnish the money to pay
tor at this timo.
Thore was n genuine game of base ball
at the battery grounds ON Saturday last
