Dixon Surrounded by a Crowd ol' Mad Strikers The Dis charge of Union Men tlio Cause of the Outbreak Wage Demands Re newed. The strike among tho lumber longshore men has hurst forth with renewed violence, and it now seems more threatening than ever. The trouble, which liegan over a Month ago, had subsided and it was thought to l>e over, hut it laid only lulled for awhile, and now it has begun again. Tho men demanded at the outset a heavy increase in wages, and struck to force the stevedores to grout it. The matter dragged along for some time and Dually there wns n sort of comiiromise, the men receiving the wages they wanted, hut not tho other con cessions that were asked for. Matters have run nlong in that way for more than a month. Some of the stevedores have been Working union men only, while others have employed both union ami non-union men. THE 01.0 FlOlir UKMiWKI). The lumber mereluuits have been taking rqiromnunt part in the matter and have liet'ii lighting the demand of the longshore men as hard as they could. Dale, Dixon A Cos. have had tho hardest tussle. The cap tains, to whose vessels thej liave Inx'ii fur llishiug cargoes, have made u determined Stand against the strikers ami declared their imention of laying up here until Christmas rather than give m. Mr. T. B. Thompson, of McDonough ,V Cos., went to the captains to whose vessels his tlriu vva.s selling and urged them not to accede to the strikers' <le Iniuuls, but the captains wanted to load and get out, so they devdiiusl to comply wit h the request and |mid the men what they asked. For that reason McDonough A Cos. have had lie trouble until within a day or two, but the captains they are now furnishing are as firm as the others, and every vessel at the wluu ves is against the strikers Till.

By the time they reached Hast Hisvad everyone in the neighborhood knew that something of a serious nature was on Lot.

The polire went in the dlrvs'tion of the Savannah, Honda and Western w harves, and ns they turned down the railroad track they saw a number of the longshoremen standing in knots ami groups. As they drew nearer the umnt<or gradually grew smaller, and bv the time they had laaui station'd at their jssts not a striker was to lie seen. Tliey hail vamshiai as completely ■u if they had molt'd into thin air. They remained, howev or, on the outskirts during h greater portion of the day.

THRKATKNKD BY THE STRIKERS. They threatened the workmen, the yard men ami Die merchants, and it was gvnei ally understood that at t> o’clock there would ls> a pietty sharp battle. The non union men did not mvui to Inxd the warn lag, however, for they work'd steadily and were as little comvrmd as they could be als'ut tlie pi>is|Hfts of the rumpus. A short ■while before dinner the union men, who had loen kept at work, quit and said they were going to attend a meeting of the Lumbermens Association. Tney start's! off, ami did not return to work dur uig the day. TOR roues OCT MAD. The afternoon passed quietly enough and there were no Ji menstrations w tiatevor. Aliout "'dock Sergt.

The pivcessi'm was not interfered with The strikers, nl"ut 100 yards to the left, mov'd m the same direction. Tho bridge was the objec tive point, and miless attack was made lie foiv reaching it, the polioe saw that none would be made at all. It is half a luik' from the wharves to the bridge, and the men traveled over the dis tance in a very short time. When the bridge was finally reached there was no sign of trouble. The strikers had disappeared and not one w.is to U> stx-n. CAI S* or TllK OUTBREAK. The cauy of the now outbreak was tin - not ion of a stevedort* mimed Grant, Mho was loading tin* Imrk (.'lunner, He was working both union and non-union inon, tin* latter Lieing ontnvlv now and un familiar with that kind of labor.

This brought matters to a crisis It l*e csune evident that the demauds hat to lie Biveded to or tho manor must he fought out" otii'e for all. Tho strikers alt** realised that tins was to he the tinal ivititist, mi l thov collected on the wliarvos during the oft* r tioou. They wanted a chamv to oatch the “seal**," and they wanted Mr Dixon. They laid that he was the oanso of the trouble; that he had hen lighting thorn from the first, employing "soalis" and \*v*'ktiig them not only on his own v*x U, imt on those of oilier merchants wheuvwr thov wanted lalorers. Mr. Dixon tVy considered tl. ir arch em mv. IVhsi the non-uiuou men stopped work tiny start.*l toward thoir bom***. They wen* followed i.v Mr Dixon in hts i .

TllK tUXULKAbKKs. The lon.irr in the crowd was a nog* j named Alien Junes. Mr. Dixon at one** tv polled the matter to the police, and made arrangements to have a squad on hand yesterday morning. The police an tliorities gave orders that the matter should lie kept, secret, if possible. Mr. liixmi also went to the office of Justice Reynolds and sworn out a warrant against Jones, the leader, but up to last night he had not been arrested. Tiie demands that are mode by t he strikers, tlie limtlier men claim, are excessive. They have bien receiving $1 Jo and #1 on perday. They now demand an increase of 100 per cent., asking i~ 50 and $0 a dav. Tint MiII KKK.H’ DEMANDS. They also demand that the crew of a ves sel shall not lie employed at any price, but must remain Idle wnde the longshoremen load the vessel. The third demand is t hat the stevedores shall work a gang of four teen men or none at all. If a staging is to is* put. up, though two men can do it, the stevedore must Use fourteen men. Only eight are necessary in “finishing off" a ves sel, still he must use fourteen. The stevedores positively refused in listen to the last two demands, but to the demand for higher wages some of them acceded, to their sorrow. They found that when they paid the wages there was nothing left for themselves. One stevedore paid out $4O more m wages than he received for loading Ids vessel, and Innl the captain not refunded him the $4O he would not have made enough to pay the hands. The whole trouble with the longshore men seems to be a walking delegate. KEEPING UI'THE KEELING. A negro named Collins is said to bo the bead of the association,and t<> keep the men in a constant state of agitation Isvause he knows that unless he keeps them fighting tliey will not stick together, and lie must keep up a large meinlierslnp or he will not make money cnoligh to satisfy him self. As conqiensation for his sor victces in keeping the association in a state of turmoil lie receives 25c, |K>r we<>k ii-oui each man, and the estimates as to the number of memK'rs are from UK) to 400, so at, least, he makes a good deal more than lie could by giving up his [loaitiou as jaw smith and going to work. The st rike has reached a point when' a de cided settlement is imperative. The mer chants say tlmt if they have to accede to the strikers' demands they wtll quit business here mid sltip their lumber via Brunswick. LAST NIGHTS MEETING. The Lumbermen's Union Association met last night, and determined to stand out for the advance ill wages and for the concos si oils asked for in the manner of working gangs. The police will be on duty at the wharves again this morning to prevent any dem onstration that tlu* strikers may attempt. I'luTe were no indications last night that there will N> any further disturbance, al though the plans formulated ut tho meeting were not known. ON A FLOATING BRIDGE. Justice Nuughtin and Officer Kauf muan Have a Sorry Experience. Justice M. Nauglitm niul Officer Julius Kaufmaun starto 1 for Telfair piu<v Thurs day morning for the purjxwe of attending to some mattei’s of business connected vv itli the Telfair estate. They drove out in a buggy and enjovtsl a very pleasant drive until they reached a briilge near the place. It was ino lx' of a culvert than a bridge, cover mg a gullv through which the water ran from one rice field to another. The rains had furnished more than enough water for the district, and quite a little stream was Rowing through tho gully. It lifted the bridge from the ground on which it had rested and set it afioat, though the bridge ihvi not drift from its position. The horse traveled smoothly along until it reached this tVsiting bridge, when he suddenly stopped and began to tvack, and before either ■>t me geiiUcmcn iu the buggy knew what lioil happened they vvere lying in the rice tk'ld covered with mud and water. The buggy was twisted out of sba[>e and its oc elli suits would have had a hard time getting home iusl the negroes not come to their as sistance. Tlie buggy was straightened out msl wins! together mid the two mud stained mid ik-s, 'gg'sl travelers slowly wemhxl their way homewarvt. * One of the objvvts of their visit was to bring Kick a uogrvj named Ed Bacon, who shot William Roberts some time ago. Bacon went to his cabin one night and t >und Roberts there with his wife. Bacon pickivl up a shotgun that was standing in the corner, and fill'd Roberts' tare full of bird shot. Although officer Kautmannand Justus' Nauglitm ,U,i not reach tlie pla>v, they learn,si that Roberts was nearly well and Bacon luvl fled. HINESVILLES COMMENCEMENT.

Ono Hundred and Fifty Men at Work on tho Buildings Tho Seed House With a Storage Capacity for 10,000 Tons of Cotton Seed Nearly Finished - How the Company Will Handle Its Products. Ono hundred and fifty men are at work on the Southern (ill Company’s mills west of the N'ale Royal lumber mills. The foundation for the first building was started June 11, and that building is now nearly finished, and two other* are under way. The site of the mills fronts the river and is just, oust of the water works on the Vale Royal plantation, The building next to the river is the seed house, a frame structure, 200 feet liy so feet. This is neatly finished and will have a storage capacity for 10,000 tons of cotton seed. South of tho seed house is the machinery building, a substantial two story brick structure, 130 by 00 feet. The walls are now up to tlie second story uiid will Ik l finished by July 15th. The foundation of the meal house south of the machinery building are being laid. This will U'a one story brick building, 100 feet by NO feet, and will lie used as u storage building for the meal from which tho oil has lieen compressed. The oil house has not yet leen started. It will Im* located ftKiut 200 feet still further south and will also I*' of brick. Its dimensions will lie I'll feet by 50 feet. The boiler houses and shops east of the ma chinery imildiug, will also be of brick. The company's offices will bo built west of the sred house, toward the water works. All of the buildings will lie of brick except the seed house and ofllces. A temporary car track has been built from tho \ ale Royal Manufacturing Com I may's works to the mills. A permanent track will be built as sen as possible, run liiug nearly parallel with the water works read around the mills and extending to the river where the company will have wharves for receiving cotton seed from the river steamers and vessels. The water is not deep enough for vessels of nv sire, and the com pany will ship its products either by rail direct from the mills to their destination or to the (loean Steamship wharves and thence North. As mon as the track can be built to the mills the machinery will be put in posi tion. The work is being pushed as rapidly ns possible. Manager Haskell said yesterday that the mills will be ready for operation as soon as the seed can be obtained. Their ca pacity will at first be about ninety tons of seed per day, depending altogether upon its condition, whether it is wet or dry. If wet, the mills will not be able to handle much over eighty tons. About fifty hands will lie employed at first, but this number will be doubled when all the machinery is put in. THROUGH THE CITY.

Signal Observer Salisbury’s Juue report to the Chief Signal Office contains some very interesting state tics in regard to the weather at Savannah. The month just closed was remarkable for the the extremes of its maximum and minimum tempera tures, its very low moan temperature and its successive rainfall. The maximum temperature for the month is the highest on record at this station ex cept that for June, 1880, which exceeded it by 3-100 of a degree. The minimum temperature is the lowest on record except in June, 1877 and 1884: and the mean for tuo month is less than that for any June except in ISNI, and is 3* less than the moan for fifteen years. The rainfall is 3.74 inches in excess of the average for the month, and is exceeded only by tne precipi tation of Juno, 187(1. The highest temperature reached was 100 on June 19; the lowest was 00’ on Juno 12, and the mean was 77 . The mean tempera ture compared with former years is as fol lows: 1871 79.911880 81.7 inn 78.81881 N 7 1878 78 s INK" 80 8 1871 HO 9 1888 81 a 1876 70 2 1881 75.0 1870 80 7 IHSS 70.7 1877 81 2 tSKO ?.) 9 187$ 79 4 1887 77.1 1879 .79 0 The prevailing direction of tlie wind was cast.

There were seven thunderstorms during the month. To Increase Its Capital Stock. There was a very full meeting of the stockholders of the Oglethorpe Savings and Trust Company yesterday afternoon. Tli > purpose of the meeting was to consider the proposition to increase the capital stock of the company from $75,000 to SIOO,OOO. After the matter had Ken discussed it was put to a vote, the result of which was in favor of the increase. It was then deter mined that the $25,000 of new stock should lie offered first to the present stockholders, who will lie required to signify what they will take by July 11. If there is any part not subscribed for after that date it will be offered to the public, it must all bo paid in by July 20. OVER IN CHARLESTON. What is Going On in South Carolina’s Metropolis. The first shipment North of *South Caro lina melons was made Thursday. Two car loads, the first of the Barnwell crop, were brought to Charleston on the South Carolina railway on Wednesday night. One carload was sold in the city and the other was shipp'd to Baltimore. The shipment this year is about one week ahead of last season. The continued absence of the steamships City of Columbia and City of Atlanta from the Adger line has given rise, tho Newt and Courier says, to various rumors, among others that the Clydes have bought tho steamers and would eventually consolidate the two lines. Oapt. Courtenay, who has been interviewed on the subject, says that he knows nothing about the purchase of the Adger steamers, and did not think that they could have lieen bought by the Clydes, as they had been seized for indebtedness by the bondholders, and would be put itp at public sale. Mr. J. E. Adger, one of the agents of the New York and Charleston Steamship Company, said that he had heard nothing in regard to the stile, or intended sale, of the steamers. Upon the mat urity of the bonds about two months ago the vessels had been seized by the bondholders, but as to what the company proposed doing he was not able to say. Since the seizure of the Columbia and Atlanta the New York and Charleston Steamship Company have been using the Clyde steamers Delaware and Yemassee, but the Clyde line took possession of Adger’s wharves yesterday. Adjourned for the Term. The City Court has adjourned for the May term. The July term will begin on the 4th, but the jurors in civil cases will not lie called until July 5, when the assignment of coses will lie made. The criminal cases, however, will K> tried on Monday.
