Trouble Among the Workmen
■ at LaCubana.
Thera was 8)me little trouble and a
great deal of excitement among the'
workmen at the Cubana City Cigar
Factory, located at La Cubana. yes
terday morning.
■The' trouble grew out of the em
ploying of a Jew cigar maker by ibe
manager, Mr. Tharin..
It seems that when this man was
pat to work on Monday,'thretf ot the
other, workmen, Peter Meyers, J.
Hamilton and Fred Riley, kicked r
saying they would quit if he was not
removed at onoe. Mr. Tharin Hied
to adjust matters, proposing to put
the 'obnoxious workman at another
table.- This woo'd not satisfy them
and they quit. They were paid np
and left the place Yesterday morn
ing they drove up to the factory^
Mr. Tharin met them at the door and
asked their business. They re.
plied that they were going off on the
two o'clock train and merely wanted
to say good-bye to the other workmen
They.entcre 1 the buiidiog and went
up*8tairs.. Mr. Inarm, fearing they
wotfd do violence to the Hebrew,
followed them. '
He found them talking to the work

With ihis-they went out, but after get
ting outede stood around cursing
so ne of the workman who had refus
ed to strike with them. Meyers went
so far jts to threaten Mr Tharin. Mr.
Tharin came to town and had a war
rant issued' for the arrest of Meyers,
charging him with riot. Mevers was
arrested, bu*. by consent of Mir. Meins
tyre, Mr. Tharin’s attorney, he was
allowed to go on his own recogn : zxnce
until three o’clock, at which time he
would be given u trial. .

The orphan children ot Isaac
Beird, colored, who killed his wife
some months ago and was sent to the
penitentiary for life at the last term
of court, were sent off yesterday to
Augusta, where they will be placed

their mother is dead and their father
iu prison for life, they were left en
tirely dependent and their friends
thought the best thing that conld be
done for them would be to s&nd them
to Augusta.
Mr. John O’Brien’s saloon,
Jackson street, was closed up yester
day by the Sheriff. Some weeks ago
a temporary receiver was appointed
by Judge Hansell at the instance of
O’Brien’s wife, who made application
for divorce and filed a bill for alimony,
praying the court to enjoin: O’Brien
from disposing of his property. Mon
day this was settled and O’Brien
restored to the possession of hia busi
ness. No sooner had this been done
than Messrs. Patten & Mitchell, rep<
resenting the Chattahoochee Brewing
Company and probably other cred
itors, pushed their claims and had
the business closed.
We understand that concrete pave
ments will, at an early day, be put
down in front of Stark’s and Sheffield's

will complete the line of pavement in

pleted the town or property owners
should see that the gaps left on two
or three corners are closed up with
good pavements. It- will coat but
little and the woik should be done.
And theo the concrete creasing in
front' of the Mssuiy, ending at the
carrier, should be repaired. There ia
a bad break in the crossing which could
be very easily* repaired. Street cross

He is Grateful.
We have been requested by Tom
Nelson, colored, who was recently
pardoned out ol the jouuenuary by
the governor, to return his grateful
thanks to the white friends who took
up his case ami pleaded iu his behalf
with the governor- Tom says he
can never be too thankful or grateful
to the men who aided him i t biing
restored to his freedom. I'om served
about ten years, aud during the time
he was a general favorite with all.
He never gave the authorities any
trouble, but bent steadily and duti
fully to every doty assigned him.
For several years he was a trusty, and
had charge of the washing and caring
fjrthe clothing of the convicts. He
never worked a day in the coal mines,
but worked for sometime on the rail
road running through Chicamauga to
the mines. He 'says that he was
treated well by the prison authorities,
and that so were other prisoners who
conducted themselves properly. The
Captain of the prison guards, the
guards themselves, and all the prison
ers thought well cf Tom,, and was
ever ready' to do him a kindness.
Tom says that he has returned to hia
old home to live among the fnends,
white and colored, whom he knew in
the long ago days, and that ho in
tends, by making a good citizen in
the futU-e, to show his white friends
that they made no mistake in getting
him re’easqd.

the house was in flames, and he has
no idea h jw ii originated. There had
been no fire in the house since eleven
o’clock_ot the day before and it does
not seem possible that it conld have
been started from this owing to the
rapidity with which the flames burned.
Very little of the furniture was saved.
The piano was gotten out, but in a
bxdly damaged condition. A t the
wearing apparel of the occupants * as
destroyed, except what the Doctor
hastily threw on before leaviog the
house.
The fiouae was owoed by Mr. A. W.
Morhou e, and was insured for $1,800

, They Were Released
The two cigar makers, - Hamilton
and Riley, who were sent up for riot
ing by Judge Alexander on Tuesday,
have been released and are again at
work at Li Cubana. The young men
were really guilty, of doing very little if
any violence, and they were Ud into
doing what they did by the man
Meyers, who left town. They did not
have the amount of motey necessary
to pay their fines and it looked like
too severe a punishment for what they
did to -be sent to the chain-gang.
After considering the matter yesterday
morning Judge Alexander, at the .sug
gestion of the prosecution, decided to
remit the fine and allow them to go
free upon the payment of the costs in
the case. The young men lacked£i3
of having enough money to do this,
but some one loaned them this amount
and they were released and have gone
to work at La Cubana.
The man Meyers has not been
heard from, a’though Sheriff Doss
wired a number of places' dowp the
road to arrest him. The prosecution
will be satisfied if he is not caught so
long as he stays away from Thomas
ville.
The three anarchists recently par*
doned by Governor Altgeld of Illinois
took .part in a great anarchist parade
io Chicago the .other day. One of
mottoes inscribed on a shield borne
in the procession was: “No Tyranny,
No God, No Lord, No Slave.” The
speakers justified the conduct of the
Haynjjucket bomb^throwers and eulo
gized them as martyrs. And yet in
the face of this the governor in an
interview says that these men have a
right to speak and parade their •edi
tions sentiments before the country.
He says, further, that there are no
anarchists in the state ot Illinois.
Then in Heaven's name what are
these foreign agitators if not anarchist?
They should, every rascal of them, be
hung to the nearest and most conven
ient lamp post. .

We have not by repeal discarded
silver any more than has France.
France has, according to cur mint
bureau’s estimate, $650,000,000 in
legal tender silver currency while ihe
United States has about $573,000,-
000. The same authority estimates
France’s stock oi gold at $800,000,-
000, and the United States stock ou

with our mints c’osed to silver w.* are
situated, with reference to our mrtalic
reserve, vtry much as the French
people are; and though silver has de
dined materially and is not wonh
anywhere near what it is rnin'ed at,
with the limit put oh coinage we can
take care of our silver just as easy as
France can, and that means, we shall
have no d.fficulty whatever in keeping

The suggestion bring made that
the government extend the free de*
livery system to the whole country is
utterly impracticable. Why in some
remote section* it would cost dollars
to deliver^ single letter. In remote
and sparsely settled regions the cost
would be enormous. It is estated
that it would cost from twenty to
thirty millions annually, in addition
to the present cost to run the post
office department, if the free delivery
system were inaugurated. The farm
ers need relief in other directions
rather than in this.
