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.

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.
