pickaxe and shovel until the very founda
tions of the armory were undermined, they
were found and resurrected, blackened
with age and rust, but priceless heritages.
Burnished up again, they have spoken
with no uncertain voice on all stated pa
rades and visits of the com panv to other
cities. AtYorktown, in 1881, they thun
dered forth the centennial salute of their
capture; at New Orleans, in 1884, their
echoes on Pennsylvania day rung out in
honor of the Old Liberty Bell, and to-day
they will speak lor tlier old comrades of
“the present dextrous corps of artil
lery,” at sunshine, one hundred voices of
welcome to the gallant friends who have
assembled in honor of the occasion.
Both pieces are ot brasß. The first is 5
feet long and of 4-incb calibre. Thecas
cabel is pear-shaped, with two rings un
derneath for rope holes. On the base of
the breech is the following name and date:
“R. Gilpin, fecit 1756,” and the figures
The vent is through a raised
ornament representing a sea shell In
front of the vent is a raised monogram
in large script with the letters
“G. R.” (George Rex), with the
figure 2 in the first letter, indicat
ing that the King was George the
Second. Tnis is surmounted by the jew
elled British crown, with a Maltese cross.
Between the trunnions are the ensignia of
the Order or the Garter, the garter buck
led round with the following inscription
on it: “rioni soit qui mal y pense,” in
the centre of the garter the letter “M,”
snd the whole surmounted by a crown.
Near the swell of the muzzle are the
words, “Surrendered by the capitulation
of Yorktown, October 19th, 1781.” On the
swell ol the muzzle ending in the right
groove is a raised ornament of thistle and
leaves. There are at intervals six orna
mental rings around the piece.
other piece is about the same size
find calibre, and is also of brass. The oas
cabel is pear-shaped with rope hole
through it. On the base of the breech is
the following Inscription: “Strasbourg.
Par. J. Berenger, 1758.” In front of tne
vent is the royal coat-of-arms of Prance,
consisting of a stand of drooped flags with
spear heads, in the oentre of which is an
oblong -hield with the three fleur delis,
the whole surmounted by a crown. Be
tween this and the trunnions is the figure
of the sun with darting rays; be
tween the trunnions are two orna
mented bandies representing dolphins;
in the rear ol the handles is a scroll with
the motto “Nec Piurihus lmpar;” for
ward of the handles is a representation of
a bursting whirl ot flame, throwing out
arrows arid darts in zig-zag directions;
next comes a scroll with the motto “Ratio
Ultima Regum;” near the swell of the
muzzle is found the name of the piece,
“La Populaire:” on the swell of the muz
zle is a raised leaf ending in the sight,
and round the piece is a number of orna
mental rings.
It is highly probable that the piece last
described was captured from the French
py the British in one ol the wars ante
dating the siege in which it was to play
so important a part, at last to be rendered
up again as a trophy into the hands of
the victorious Continental army, at York
town.

The Chatham Winery's Hcatl
quul-tcraL.p
December, ISO 4, ( period of sad
ness for the city\ gu vannatj. War,
iltberto viewed ft1 afllr O tT, and ad
areaslng itself to thi rtg „f u, e people
through love of | unlr y aß< j the
participe 4 ' *n in the strife ot dis
tan' - fr** 6 - ones, was now to be
brought to tbeir own thresholds;
the city, abandoned by its defenders,
was left to the mercy of the toe.
The Coniederate army had crossed the
Savannah—and theenemy, followiugelose
upon its retreating squadrons, marched
in and took possession of the city. True,
military discipline preserved the city from
lawlessness, and the establishment of a
Provost Marshal’s office restrained the
licentiousness of the professional plun
derer. But here immunity ceased. There
was an utter disregard of respect for
places and institutions. Of the many
public buildings which suffered indignity
at the bands of the enemy, the hall occu
pied by the Chatham Artillery as an ar
mory since 1849, was one. This was at
once taken possession of by the military
authorities, and turned over to the Freed
men’s Bureau.
From 1864 until 1868 the armory was
used as a school for the education of
negroes. During this period it fell into
a very dilapidated condition, and when it
was finally restored to the company, in
the person ol Mr. Edward Padellord, it
was found necessary to incur an expendi
ture of some $2,000 to render it fit tor a
rendezvous for the company once more.
So it continued to be used until in June
ol last year when it was decided to re
modal it into a structure more worthy to
be the headquarters ol the corps. To ren
der the ball the object of public attrac
tion wbiob it has now become, $7,000 have
been spent.
In celebrating its centennial year the
Chatham Artillery will have no more in
teresting episode to record of its hundred
years of existence as a military organiza
tion than this usurpation of its hall in
1864 by the Freedmau’s Bureau.
DE LESSEES' WASTEFULNESS.
Money Spent Like Water Along the
Canal for Outside Purposes.
New York, May I.—Dr. Wolfred Nel
son, who spent five years as a practicing
physician at Panama, and was for some
time a member of the Board of Health of
that State, arrived in New York from the
isthmus by tne last steamer. In an inter
view with a reporter of the Associated
Press to-day he said: “If Count de Les
seps was correctly reported by the press as
saving that one-halt the work on the
canal had been completed the statement
was will ully misleading to the French
people. Ateariul crisis has arisen in
canal affairs. The company’s indebted
ness to share ami bondholders now
amounts to about $160,000,000 in gold, on
which they are paying annual interest ot
$6,000,000.
WORKING CP A NEW LOAN.
“It is reported on excellent authority
that the company have exhausted tbeir
funds, and that they are working on bor
rowed capital pending tbe fioating ol a
new loan of $120,000,000 in gold. M. de-
Lesseps’ visit to tbe Isthmus of Panama
was a preliminary step to the floating of
the loan. The willful and reckless extrav
agance which has characterized tbe man
agement of the company’s affairs probably
never has been paralleled. Huge sums of
money have been spent in useless budd
ings. Superior Agent Jules Dingier oc
cupies a magnificent res denee, built and
furnished at a cost ol SIOO,OOO. Besides
this a palatial residence was budt tor
him at Boea Del Kio Grande. In Colon a
magnificent house has been put up lor the
visit of M. de Lesseps, and fitted up in
princely style, furniture having been
specially imported Iroin France.”
USELESS DREDGING.
Much useless dredging Is being done in
tbe harbor of Panama, where several
Scotch marine dredges are cutting out
the soft bottom opposite Isle De Naos.
This is loaded into ciaputs w hich steam
back of the island about a mile away and
dump it. Tnis is useless as the t'de
ris-s and falls some 22 feet in the bav,
and tbe mud is of course eventually car
ried back. The Canal Company bas not
yet settled on a plan for damming
the unruly Chagres. This probably will
be tbe most difficult obstacle to overcome.
Again, the huge cut at Culebra, if ever
compleied, will have sid s 397 ieet high.
Tbe whole project bristles with difficul
ties that many consider practically insur
mountable. At this present time yellow
fever exists in almost epidemic
form. There were 43 deaths
from the disease in the ciiy
of Panama in tbe month of March. In
the city of Colon (or Aspinwall) there,
were 15 deaths from yellow fever among
the canal men alone. Tbe wet season is
now on, and there is much sickness all
over the isthmus, owing to the dirty con
dition of tbe canal camps, such as one
would expect where thousands of
laborers have been herded tog ■tner with
out tbe slightest sanitary precaution.
DEATH RATES SUPPRESSED.
The deaih rate has been suppressed as
far as the canal interests have been able
to effect it, and most unblushing state
ments have been made by canal papers
regarding the death rate. To show what
yellow fever has done on the istnmus it Is
only ncessary to cite the experience of
the party that landed with Jules
Dingier on Oct. 29, 1883. Tne party
consisted of 33 new comers. Within a
week Count Decurno sickened and died
from yellow fever. His death was fol
lowed by that of M. Zimmerman. Later
M. Dingier lost his daughter, a charming
girl. Within one month from tbe day of
her death his sou, aged 23, had been
given up. In the following year
he lost his wifs from yellow
fever. Out of 14 cases of
yellow fever among that party of 33, 13
died. Such is tbe Panama which M. D
Lesseps vainly attemp's to paint as a
tropical garden of paradise. The filth in
both cities and aloug tbe canal is simply
indescribable.

A TUMULT OF ELEPHANTS.
THE HERD REBELLIOUS IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE SHOW.
The Little Elephant Columbia Won’t
Stand on Her Head and Screams
to Hebe, Her Mother Hebe
Charges Across the Garden, and
allHandsGoon a Strike.
From the New York Sun.
Barnum’s season in New York closed
last night, and it wound up with a boom.
The wonders of tbe greatest show on earth
were unfurled at the proper tima before
the eyes of the biggest crowd that has
squeezed into Madison Square Garden
yet. The band unlimbered its melody,
the clowns made efforts to be tunny, and
everything proceeded calmly and gently
until at the close of the circus perlorm
ance the huge drove of elephants came in.
Twenty-live of them went snambling
through the narrow passage that leads
from their quai ters, and divided into iwo
groups, each group tilling a separate
ring. The biggest elephant*, the mothers
and fathers, were in the ring nearest
Fourth avenue, in charge of the principal
keeper. The smaller ones, many of them
sons and daughters of the giants, were in
the Madisnn avenue ring. At the sums
time Tom Thumb, the liUJe trick ele
phant who wears dude trousers, climbed
upon the raised piallorm and prepared to
show bis sense ot humorin company witu
Conrad, his keeper, who acts as end man
for him. The red-coated band struck up
the regulation tunes with which it night
ly celebrates tne victory of man over ele
phants, and all the big giants went hum
bly through the series of trioks that had
been taught them, until the exhibition
was almost over.
Then it came to the turn ol Columbia,
tbe smallest performing elephant,to throw
her not very diminutive heels into the air
and stand on her head. Something hap
pened to anger Columbia. Kith r her
keeper’s prod was plunged too far under
her delicate skin, or else a neighboring
elephant must have whispered something
cutting, tor she absolutely refused to
stand on her head. When Callahan, the
assistant keeper, pricked her still more
sharply she torew her trunk up over her
back and uttered a sharp cry of rage and
pain.
It rang through the circus, and pierced
through the thick ears of Hebe, tne big fe
male elephant, who, at the tune, was sub
missively standing on her bead in the
other ring. Now, Hebe is Columbia’s
mother, and Columbia is Hebe’s first
cb id. It was all right to force Hebe to
stand upon her head—she was willing—
but when she heard hor baby cry she gave
a squeal that made the circus people
jump, and, quickly getting down off her
bead, made a charge for the ring in which
her baby was being abused.
Alter that there was a circus. Hebe did
not stop to go oui of the ring in tha usual
way, but wen'|right across lots, pushing
down ropes and stakes, in a bee lint*. The
youthful and abused Columbia beard her
uotber’s answering squeal, saw her com
ing, and dashed to meet er.
It tbe elepnants of tne Empire Associa
tion had ordered a general strike, toose
elepaantscould not have quit work in a
bigger hurry. All broke ranks,and.throw
ing up their trunks and tails, ran squeal
ing hither and thither. Nothing was to
be seen in a circus so much like the
picture books about African jungles or
so true to the signs that the show puts
up.
Callahan, tha keeper, was dashed to the
ground, and women screamed, thinking
that be would l>e crushed under tbe (ret
of the (urious beasts. Luckily he scram
bled out in some mysterious manner, and
did everything to quiet his charges. Bn t
they would not be quieted, and Newman,
the principal keeper, was just as power
less to control the big ones under his eare.
Fortunately, Hebe, the enraged mother,
got calmed down a little whi n she found
that Columbia was all right, and started
oellowing along the track instead ol
diving in among the crowd as she at first
seemed anxious to do.
The common elephant keepers came
swarming in from tue stable* with tbeir
sharp goads in their hands, and struggled
desperately to g< t the elephants back in
to tbeir quarters, but they would not go.
Finally Hebe, af er slashing around with
her trunk for awhile, dashed around to
tne exit which leads to that section ot the
circus containing the giants, fat women,
and dwarfs. Elephants are like geese, or
sheep, or men in Billowing a leader, and
the entire herd followed squealing after
her. It was a tine sight, butnot cheerful.
There never was a more scared crowd
than that in the circus, and a panic must
have broken loose bad It not been that the
thousands of people were packed up on
rows ol liign scats. Up there they felt
safe from the careering b* ast and were
at raid to come down. But the women
screamed, and two or three hundred of
the most timid rn* n da-lied out, at a speed
lhat was very cieditulde.
When the elephants finally disappeared
from the ling the crowd thoilgut it was all
right. But in two seconds there was a
roaring right under the seats, and people
became more frightened thau evrand be
gan to break for the door, and all the
lungs and entreaties of the attendants
were needed to prevent a panic.
The elephants were rushing around
among tbe animals: the circus horses and
all the actors came flying in to escape
tlmm, and the noise set up by,tbe animals
whicti wanted to join the lun was stun
ning. But tne elephant tamers were
working like beavers, and al:er an Inter
ruption wnicb seemed about a week long,
but wnich really did not last more than
fifteen minutes, ibe band, which had nar
rowly missed being walked over, started
up. and tne show went on again and fin
ish and all right.
Alter that the long string of elephants
wcie seen chained in their stalls, with
blood oozing out of little pricks in their
skins, and still bellowing and shaking
tbeir heads with rage. Atmiduight.willi
fifty extra men to guard them, they were
taken over to Jersey City and loaded on
the cars for their (rip West.
The beasts set out from Madison Square
Garden to Jersey City at midnight. Al
ice, as usual, was chained to two other*.
This trio, with tbe trtek elephant Tommy,
brought up the rear. The ele| haul* In
awkward procession, wabbled fllnug
Twenty-seventh street to Seventh avenue
and tbi rce along Twenty,third street fo
the ferrv. After scaring the wits out of
several milk-cart horse* that had just
come over, they cautiously felt their way
on to the ferry-boat. Once salcly on.
Alice became obstreperous, and it looked
us If there was going to b a row, but she
quieted down almost immediately, anil
the passage to Jersey City was made In
calmness and dignity. On tbeir reaching
their destination, they wended their way
to the l’ennsylvsnia rail way station.

| Editor Mominq Sews: I trust you will
allow an bumble member of the Knights
J of Labor the opportunity to reply to the
I communication of “L.” Permit me to
| say, in the first place, there was never a
nobler organization conceived for the
workingman thau tbe much-abused order
called the Knights of Labor, amt tne best
evidence of it is the luct that working
men all over the country so fully appre
ciate it that they arc Hocking to its stand
ard by thousands every day. in the next
place, It is non-sectarian and non-political,
hence it rejects politicians and cannot
be used or swayed by them. In
tbe third place, it is ac
cused of and much abused for crimes
it never committed nor had anything to
do with; theretore “L.,” wben ho again
undertakes to write them down had better
first more fully iulorm himself as to
whether he U right or not. No member
of this organization, allow me to inform
bttu, is ashamed of hie connection with it,
because he knows what it is much better
than outside parties; because he bears
and studies its teachings, and knows
what is best lor bis interest. And if there
is one imputation above another that
he repreheuds it is to be called a
“striker,” because ne is tau.bt
at bis introduction into the
order to “avoid strikes”, and tne testi
mony of Mr. l’owdcrly before the Con
gressional committee goes to show that
the whole genius ol the institution is op
posed to anything of the kind. Yet. for
sooth, because tt is a labor organization l
itisunlawlul.it is opposed to so-called
“public sentiment”, it is a step towards
centralization, it is opposed to the spirit
of the age, it Is prejudicial to good gov
ernment, it “goes too far!” These are
tbe feelings of tbe monopolist when
workingmen dare to organize.
Workin-men’s votes are good,
but they have no rights that
moneyed men are bound to respect.
Americans, though they be, tbeir opin
ions must be subordinated to the dictum
ot those learned in higher branches of
education. He must toil and leave to
others his thinking, lie must not read
lest he become too wise. He must sink
into insignificance until election times,
then he is a marvelously proper man.
Such is the liberality of tne age tu which
we live.
1 thank your correspondent for the per
mission ne gives, that we can work, or we
can stop working, if we please, it is
much more liberal than another institu
tion in this city, where the employes are
asked every night if they are members of
the Knigurs of Labo,\ I thank him, also,
for permission to join labor unions and
associations. As Americans, we un
questionably claim that we have the
same right to attach ourselves to any or
ganization we think most conducive to
our interest and welfare as your corre
spondent or any one else has.
Now for Mrs. Gray. Allow me to
whisper into the ear of “L.” something
lie does not seem to know. There are
manv other labor organizations besides
the Knights of Labor, and to charge upon
the Knights of Labor the sins of ail these
organizations is as unjust as it is indefen
sible. Mrs. Gray was’ boycotted, but not
by the Knights ol Labor, and tlio tact that
her trade increased was more from a oru
lient curiosity to see 51 rs. Gray than to
punish me Bakers’ Union, who brought,
her into prominence. New York is a great
city, and the people loud of ex
citement, and it takes but little to start
it. Bouie years ago a man stepped into
the street and pointed his finger upward.
Oue after another of the thousands pass
ing gathered around him to see whai, be
was looking at, so that in less than three
minutes tbestieet was so crowded that
vehicles could not pass. So witn Sirs.
Gray. Her workmen had struck, tbefact
got into tne newspapers, she was well ad
verti-ed, and inai curious people went to
tbe indicated spot to see the renowned
Mrs. Gray, and they went in and made
purchases to get a good look at this now
lamous lady.
Your correspondent, Mr. Editor, is in
clined to be faoetious. He calls the
Knights of Labor tbe “Sir Knights.” We
do not aspire to titles. “Kniglits of La
bor” is honor and title enough for us. But
what we do require Is. that we shall nave
even-handed justice and not be made the
scapegoats of all other labor organ zs
tious. So great is our success we expect
in time to absorb them all, and when we
do we shall teach them a lesson that “L.”
hinisci! would be proud to learn.
Now, as to ihe strike on the Gould sys
tem. Here again your correspondent is
at fault, because be failed to read tb# ar
ticle in last Sunday’s News under the
bead of “The Western Strike.” I call his
attention to that article because be, like
thousands ot others, has been biased by
ttie one soled stntemenis publish' il in the
1 newspapers ol the country that the men
> bad no cause of complaint, when iu fact
i they had mutely submitted to the most
■ flagrant wrongs. It was charged that these
' men struck on accunt of the and eobarge
jof a mao named Hall. What had they to
jdo wnb Mali? Hsll was an employe of a
i roadway down In Texas, and would they
! notoe worse than fools to jeopard their
: livelihood for a man with whom their road
had no connection!’ It was not lor that
but for grievances which affected them
selves, and which are fully set out in the
article to which I call his attention. They
were treated badly and they attempted to
re >el it by an unwise strike Instead ol
submitting their troubles to arbitration.
Tnat is tbe weapon of tbe Knights of La
bor anu a strike and boycott tbe last re
sort.
1 am particular about these things, be
cause attempt* are being zealously made
to mold “public sentiment” to the preju
dice of our noble institution. It was ed
itorially broached in a commendatory ar
ticle in the I’hiladtdphiu Public Le.'Ujer,
in which the paper took the ground that
while tbe Knight* were strong
i they must not deceive themselves by

farther from the thou gut* of the head or

that it ia stronger than the law, lor if
rightfully administered there is none so

none so weak that its shield cannot de
