MAHERS ATM How the Misunderstanding Came About The I'roiHwItlon W'lthilniwii—Nwrctur) Krmlcr.i Turner unit the Mniiufiietiireni Meet—»|ilntiu From Both Nlilfn—llo|to of mi Arbltrntlon. Auciusta, Ga., August 19.—Grand 8ecj\ tary Turner left for Philadelphia to-d o leaving the stride in the same conditiou' Negotiations for an arbitration have bei i suspended by him because the salaries o' the president and Well-paid officers wc.’ not on the pay-roll. There is no itmn, diate prospect of a settlement. The pres, dents decline to lie dictated to as to thei own and the superintendents’ salaries. Augusta Chronicle. August 19. We had hoped that , esterduy woult. have dually ended the mill troubles, but are sorry to chronicle the fact that such j' not tiie case, anil that the good work ol the mayor and citizens’ committee have not resulted in a settlement. However this work has brought the manufacturer-’ and the mill men so close to a solution m the troubles that it is to be hoped in a few days the operatives will be buck ut work and everybody will bo satisded. THE MISPNDEH8TANDING. As stated yesterday morning, the case ol the hitch ill currying out the proposition made by Mr. Turner and accepted by tin mvmufacturers, was as to who was on the pay roll. Mr. Turner notided Mr. Calvin, of the citizens committee, Tuesday after noon, and Tuesday night instructed the operarives not to go to work until further orders were given. Yesterday morning the bell in several of the mills rang at the usual hour, but, according to instructions none of the hands, except in the Riverside mills, went to work. These forty-dee hands went to work and the mill ran as best it could, and the superintendent savs bis bell will ring aga;n to-dny and be ex pects more of his hands to come to work. MR. TURNER AND THE MANUFACTURERS. Whon the executive committee of the manufacturers met yesterday to select their dve arbitrators, Mr. l’urner with Messrs. Calvin, Miller, Daniel and Sylves ter attended the meeting. MR. TURNER TALKS. Mr. Turner stated that the object of his call was to lay before them a misuudor- • standing that existed, and to ask for a * dednition from the manufacturers of the ■word “Pay Roll” as set out in the propo sition. The manufacturers gave their un derstanding and Mr. Turner his. Webster and Walker were brought into plav, and a discussion of a pleasant nature was indulged in. We are informed by Mr. Turner that, in speaking of the proposi tion, Colonel Phinizy said that any ten- year-old could understand it. lie also stated that President Phinizy was willing to include the president and other officers’ salary, but that Mr. Hickman and others objected. The executive committee of the manufacturers then proposed thut it be left to the generul arbitration committee of five to construe. The committee hnd accepted the proposition without changing a word, and they were willing for the arbi trators to construe it. MR. TURNER WITHDRAWS HIS PROPOSI TION. Mr. Turner witburew his proposition, and declined to leave the question as to who was on the pay roll. He then offered the proposition with the fith clause stricken out, stating that that clause never was in, but General Kvans on Tuesday morning added the 6th clause and told him in ex planation that the “pay roll” included ofHcers as well as operatives. The com mittee of manufacturers declined the prop osition as amended by Mr. Turner. Mr. Calvin stated that his understanding was the same as Mr. Turner’s. THE MANUFACTURERS’ STATEMENT. The manufacturers said they thought that Tuesday’s meeting had settled every thing. They were all surprised to learn that Mr. Turner had refused to stand by the proposition he had submitted; that at the meeting was the first information they had offipially received of his determina tion; that the proposition from Mr. Turner had been accepted by them in good faith; that they were willing to abide by the de cision of the arbitrators, but that Mr. Tur ner was unwilling. They thought that good faith would have held Mr. Turner to the proposition. MR. TURNER’S REASONS. Mr. Turner was seen and said his reasons for breaking through the proposition he had made was because he had gone into it not believing that technicalities would be used and because he believed that the statement of Gen. Evans as to what the pay roll meant was correct. LET THEM ARBITRATE. He said the matter can be easily settled. I«t them take the proposition and leave out the sixth clause, and if this arbitration committee says the factories are unable to make an advance I will guarantee the op eratives will go back to work. He con tinued : “The peace offerings are still open, and if the manufacturers wish to ar bitrate, we are willing and ready at any time.” “With whom, Mr. Turner, will negotia tions be conducted after your departure ?” “With the local executive board. They would have to select the board anyway. I am not acquainted, and would not know whom to select.” “What is the condition now of those who are, as you term it, the ‘lock-outs?’ ” “Just as they were before, only in a bet ter position. My failing to make negotia tions, they will have to be maintained by the order.” REDUCING SALARIES. One of the mill presidents said : “It is a mistake about our desiring to reduce the mill presidents’ and officers’ salaries. “But,” said this officer, “let me quote to you Mr. Goodrich’s words, which I think is the sentiment of us all: ‘It is not that the mills object to reducing salaries of offi cials, for they have done it all around, but they hold that the adjudicating and scaling such salaries by outside arbitra tors is a surreuder of the responsibility im posed by the stockholders. If this is sur- j rendered they may want to prescribe what we pay for cotton, or what dividends we shall declare. It ; is the principle of the thing in volved and we are willing to submit the matter to auy expert. As to reducing sal aries, I can say that they are considerably reduced, and Mr. Hickman announced in this morning’s meeting that he had reduced his own and his superintendent’s salaries far more in proportion than the opera- ^ tives’. And so it is all around, I believe. ! MR. TURNER ON ARBITRATION. Mr. Turner said: “If the mill presidents have nothing to arbitrate, as they say, why are they opposed to arbitration. 1 am looking to tiie future to avoid strikes, it they arbitrate this matter, and the arbi trators decide that they cannot pay more, that settles it and the matter is ended. A DANGEROUS MAN. Without an Enemy, IWeiiblc. Yet u llnl) Terror lo Everybody. WUJng him Instantly. Not long after he shot at a wild turkey and killed . neighbor whom he didn’t see at all. Tluv, weeks later he lighted a kerosene lanii when it suddenly exploded, burning i. death a colporteur to whom the iuoffei,- « ve Georgian laid courteously extend, . the hospitalities of his home. All tld man’s friends run when they see him com ng. He is himself afrnid to extend an. kindnesses save to his enemies, of whuii he has none. His last public act was t cross tiie street witli a ladder on his shorn dcr last 4tli of July, while a procession wu. passing, and when somebody shouted to him to “hurry on” lie obligingly turned around and started hack. The procession was laid out and the day was spoiled. AMUSEMENT IN BUTTONS. Bird fur I,cue HunIiiiiiiIn IVIiiim' Families are of Tumi. During these hot days, says the Norwich Bulletin, when the family is away at tin seashore or in the country, and the man o. the house remains behind to look after bus iness and keep the cat from starving, if n, should remain at home alone of an evening and want amusement to while nwnv th’i tedious hours, let him hunt up the‘goon wife’s button-box and seek pleasure there. Tiie variety, styles and materials of wliicu they are made, and the old associations which an occasional button will bring to his mind, will alford him plenty to occupy his thoughts. He will perhaps* find a bin ton there from the wedding-dress, which years ago was a tiling of beauty in his eyes. He may have been in the militia, and in tiie mass he will find tin brass buttons which adorn his regimentals, which will bring to his mind the many good times lie has had in camp and oh parade days. Then, as lie pokes them over, his eyes will catch sight of a bright- hued little thing witli which his wife, as a sweetheart, used to adorn some article of dress, which was attractive in his sight, and he will rest his head on the back of his easy chair, and wonder if all through his married life he has thought of his dear wife in the same spirit as in tiie old sweet heart days; and u shade of sorrow or remorse will pass over his mind as he recalls instances of neglect, or a sweet smile will illuminate his face as lie thinks and says to himself that she is as dear to him as of old. As he goes on witli his investigation he may come across a bright, old-fashioned metal button which once was a delight to his boy-baby, who passed away in the midst of his loveli ness after having lived just long enough to make himself a part of the parent’s being. The sight of this brings back to his heart the pain which the turmoils of a busy life have partially deadened in the years that have gone, and with a sigh at the remembrance of his loss he quietly puts the bottom back in tiie box, sets it away in its accustomed place, and then- puts on his hat and goes down town to see the boys. GALVESTON'S GRAB. The Kin ml City Strictly un flit, .flake. San Antonio Express. He was dusty and hot and mad enough to climb on the neck of the biggest man in town. He jumped from the Btreet car, swinging his flabby valise wildly, and as he struck the street he swore. The jar loosened every tooth in him and filled him so full of misery it ran over and splashed on the bystanders. “Keep out of Galveston,” he said, “un less you are a billionaire and want to make robbers happy. I hit the town three days ago with oney enough to buy a good living in San Antonio tor a month. Look at that,” and he glared savagely at a pocket-book that looked like an elephant had stepped on it. “I have heard of New Orleans In Mardl Gras, St. Lobis in fair week and the Alamo City during the Volksfest; but Galveston crawls over anything it has been ray bad luck to encounter. They begin to charge } rou before you leave the car. Miles ln- and, when the salt breeze comes in the car window, you go down in your pockets and begin to feel like giving up wealth. When you strike the depot the hackman is there. If you don’t make him rich he will have you arrested. You can put in some hours hunting for a place where you can stand around and pay f5 a day for the privilege of getting nothing to eat. Get out on the streets and the bootblacks will grab you; to the drill grounds and what you get you will pay for through the nose. It is pay, pay, pay, with never a change in the song’s burden. In that city the butcher, the baker, the candlestick- maker are strictly on the make. If you stay strictly sober, move only when you have to and eat as little as you can scuffle along on, you may pull through for t9 per diem. I say you may. I didn’t. When I own the earth I may go back to Galveston and burn it up.” RULES FOR RIDING- Y.lo.Mc SnKS«wtlonn dr Those Who Take Exer cise on Horselieek. Texas Siftings. Never try to mount a horse when he Is running, nor while he is rearing on his hind legs. You mount, and then again you mountent. If the road be muddy, and yon have oc casion to puss any pedestrians, bo sure to spur your horse to full speed. It is such fun to see the mud fly, and you will be sure to attract attention to your horseman- Sl $ever 6lock up any when children or old persons are crossing the road in advance of you. The rightof way is always in favor of the equestrian, and they might as.woll learn it first as last. If you are riding your own horse and he be valuable, you will of course be cirt.fl of him—no rules are necessary in such a case. Butifitbea borrowed horse don’t spare him. A man who will lend a horse de- i serves to be taught a lesaon, anyhow. Pass everything on the road, unless you | tie un editor, in which case, of course, you will let everything pass you from a rail- j road to a dime museum. , , Cross country riding is very exhilarating. ' though somewhat dangerous when you make the country too cross, which you are likely to do when you ride through grow ing crops and garden sass. Rule with a short stirrup at such times, as a long stir- up of that sort might land you in jail or in the coroner’s office.

El Paso, Texas, August 19.—The news of Gen. Sedgwick’s departure from Wash j ington on a mission of investigation t Chihuahua and Paso del Norte to learn tin full partic ulars of the trial and sentence r.: Cutting lias acted as a sedative on El Paso and for three days now impatient till.; about the government is being seldom hoard. Tiie spirit of indignation again* t Mexico is as strong as ever, but the pugiia- eiu.s spirit of the people hero has bee.: cooled down considerable by the careful conduct of the Washington authorities ii endeavoring to got, a thorough in sight into all facts bearing on ! tne point at issue before takiu j a final step. Everybody feels confident t tat if S igewick will review the case ill ’roughly and not allow himself to be ln- l fl.ieuceci by the shrewd Mexican politi cians who abound at Paso ikl Norte aim Chihuahua, In* will find that the position heretofore maintained by tiie government Is the coireet one and will admit of n milder cour-v than Cutting’s release and n round sum to indemnify the prisoner. If. however, the general is not on his guard he will certainly full a victim to the gui.e of the Mexicans, who will do their best t convince him that Cutting has been tried ami s» nfenced under the laws os shown f tin “official records” and not under the extra law. The arrival of Mr. Sedgowk k is anxiou - lv awaited by Consul lirigham, and .ill who desire to see this matter endec! one way or the other, especially in view • l’ the fad that Mexico is undoubtedly massing troops at Chihuahua, if the reports are reliable, and the people who come upon the Mexico Central are to believed. Passengers in to day state positively that nearly one thous and troops, cavalry and infantry, have ar rived at Chihuahua within the four days past, and that preparations tor the accom modation of tlie further reinforcements are actively progressing. A number o! American families who have made their homes in Mexico for years have arrived here since Saturday, driven to the United States by the war scare, which seems to be general among the Americans in the state of Chihuahua at least. Tin* ltuMircs Cum*. Austin, Tox., August 19.—-Col. John A. Baker, a prominent lawyer, writes Col. H. II. Bee, of this city, saying he has been in vestigating in Mexico ana Eagle Pass the Itasures murder by request of the mother and widow of the unfortunate man. Ofii- cial search was made fi r charges against Ra:-ures and none could be found. The charges were trumped up lor the occasion, as it is well known Rasurcswas a good man and that his death was caused by the ac tion he took under orders in arresting the two brothers-in-law of Mandragon, and it i d# dared that before they shot him they said to him : “This is the same spot where you arrested and dis armed them,” alluding to the Mexicans; “do you remember it?” I don’t think, however, this changes the question, as he was kidnapped, and demanded a trial as a citizen of Texas, and as such entitled to her protect ion } and through her to the protection of the United States. I shall put in a claim for fl00,000 damages in the name of the widow and heirs of the murdered Rosures, as Rasures was a citizen of Texas, and enti tled to vote. I will endeavor to obtain the indorsement of Gov. Ireland to the justice of the claim and through him have it for warded to Secretary Bayard, ns it might be claimed he, Rasures. was not a citizen of the United States and that the govern ment would not act except through a de mand from the governor of Texas. Governor Ireland authorized the follow ing reply: “If the heirs or family were living in Texas at the date of the murder, the claim for damages is proper, and the governor of Texas will have no hesitation in indorsing it.” Jackson's Resignation. City of Mexico. August 19.—*The news received here that it is denied at Washing ton that Minister Jackson has resigned creates surprise, as it is firmly believed that his resignation, addressed to Presi dent Cleveland and dated June 30, was sent to Washington when Mr. Jackson was in the United States on leave of absence.
