Idtlior Strikes.
One cannot pick up a paper and
read a column of news items with
out seeing a notice of strikes. There
are labor unions in every city and
its ramifications are extending in
every direction. Wherever there are
labor unions there are strikes. The
one feeds on the other. The otli-
cers of these unions realize that their
influence and salaries depend to a
great extent upon the frequency
and universality of those strikes,
and hence they foster and encour
age them. What will be the result
must be determined in a compara
tively short time. There will he ei
ther revolution, or the strong arrnof
the law must assert its power. Un-
fortunately for the country, politi
cians are afraid ot the oi polio i, the
dear people, and these leagues or
unions are doing all they can to
shape and control legislation.—
Their watchword is oppression and
the adhesive power that holds them
together is the popular cry, the la
boring classes do not get pay enough
to support themselves and families.
Yet they manage not only to live,
but to save enough trom their
wages to pay salaries to their ofli-
cers, and to support themselves and
thousands and tens of thousands of
strikers in idleness for months at a
time. If then they are so poorly
paid where does all this money
come from ?

The Irish National League.
The Irish National League
convention which was held at
Chicago, was the largest Irish con
vention ever assembled in this
country—there being over 12,000
delegates. The representatives
from across the waters were pro-
tuse in their expressions of gratifica
tion and were well uleased with
the results of the meeting. There
was some wrangling, and hot
words passed in the meeting, but
the nroeeedings were more harmo
nious and satisfactory than were
anticipated. The delegates from
Ireland expressed the opinion that
the Belfast riots were gotten up
and fostered by politicians who
had certain ends to accomplish for
furthering which these riots were
needed. Old Parson Brownlow,
who, though a Methodist preacher,
tilled the high positions of govern
or and United States senator from
Tennessee, in one of his sermons,
told his congregation that ‘‘rascal
ity abounded and that if they' could
see themselves in the gospel glass
they' would be as black as hell.”
What a fearful sight would be
witnessed if there was a mirror
which could show up the schemes
the plans the hidden practices of
politicians. Nowadays they care
vei\v little for the means so that
their aims are accomplished, and
the ends tire oftentimes not for
their country’, God or truth.
Kartlii|iiaki* Shocks.
The shock of the earthquake
broke the dams of the Langley and
Rath paper mills, and the waters
overflowed the tracks of the two
railroads to such an extent that
the passenger trains on each of the
roads suffered. The trains dn the
Charleston road, not expecting
any danger, ran into the water
caused from the overflow. The
engine, tender and baggage ear
left tho track and went down about
ten feet into the water; a colored
fireman was killed. On the South
Carolina road, the passenger train
soon after feeling the shock ot the
earthquake, a terrible roar was
heard above the din of the cars.
Before a thought could be ventured
as to the cause, the train came to
a sudden stop, and in almost an
Instant the entire roadbed was
overflowed. Tho force of the
waters swept the engine and sev
eral of tho freight cars from the
track into the swamp causing a
terrible wreck, the fireman was
killed and the engineer injured.
There were four trains near
Charleston thrown from the track,
with damage to cars and some
loss of life. There are two theories
as to the cause of the accidents—
one is that tho shakings from the
earthquake bent tho rails, and the
other that the ground sunk from
the'same cause, either of which
would have caused the accident.

A Missouri Snake Story.
St. JosKfir, Mo., Sept. 10.—Many
will preltaps remember the great
den near Glenolder, in Cloud coun
ty Kansas, which was discovered
in September, 1878, at which a
large force of men were employed
for four weeks by the county to
destroy the reptiles until the num
ber unearthed reached to between
7,000 and 8,000. While the story
was looked upon to a great extent
as a hoax, it was nevertheless true,
as can be substantiated by many
hundreds who visited tho den out
of curiosity. Mr. James T. Harris,
who is in the city buying an open
ing stock of goods for a store at
Cleveland, is authority for the
statement that on last Saturday
a den of reptiles was discovered
in the same stone quarry near the
junction of Twin Butte creek and
Huckleberry’ creek, in which there
are many species, and that several
thosuand have already been killed
with no prospects of finding the
limit.'
The discovery was made by a
cowboy named Willis, who, in
passing near the the quarry, was sur
prised to notice that grass had been
worn out near the roots by many
trails leading in tho direction of
tho rocks. His curiosity was
aroused and he at once proceeded
to investigate. Leaping from his
horse, Willis followed the trails
up to the stone quarry 1 where
he found that they all centered
toward a small cavity’. He ap
proached tho opening in tho rocks
and was about to stoop down to
continue the investigation, when
he was surprised to see the heads
of a dozen or more huge reptiles
appear before him. The surprise
and astonished herder jumped
hack and, pulling a revolver, fired
into the hole. Instantly a seeth
ing mass of snakes began to pour
out with ?ads erect and hissing
sounds and started toward the
intruder who had invaded their'
peacefulness. vV T illis took to his
heels and started on a run for the
spot where his horse was standing.
Before reaching tlie animal, how
ever, he encountered a large num
ber of serpents, which had escaped
from the den through outlets to
the prairie, and barely escaped
being bitten on several occasions.
The reptiles showed light at
every’ point, and one of the largest,
which is said to have been about
eight feet in length, was persistent
in its pursuit of the herder, who
succeeded in regaining his saddle
just in time to escape. Willis
rode to the Harris place where
several men are employed and
notified them of the circumstance.
They at once started for the den,
piloted by their informant, and on
reaching the spot were horrified
tit the sight which greeted their
eyes. 'The ledges of the quarry
were literally lined with snakes
and the outlook forexterminating
them appeared anything but flat
tering. Shot guns loaded with
heavy shot were discharged into
the moving masses with terrible
effect, and it was not until late
in the evening that any loss in the
number was noted. Darkness Corn
ell the work of extermination
was suspended until morning, and
man was dispatched to Gilmore
station for more ammunition and
with instructions to purchase U)0
pounds of blasting powder.
The next morning tho work
again commenced and the party
succeeded about 10o’clock in getting
a blast ready for explosion which,
when it occurred, hurled over 200
of the serpents in a mangled con
dition into into tho nir. Mr. Harris
says he is confident 11,000 of the
reptiles have been killed, hut it
will he several days yet before the
end Is reached. Among the rep
tiles ho found adders, racers, vipers,
rattle and bull snakes.
A White Woman Mopes With aNe^ro.
The Valdosta Times thus de
scribes the arrest of. tho Berrien
county fugitives. “Last Wednes
day a bright mulatto man passed
through Valdosta with a young
white girl, traveling in a buggy
and going south. Above Valdosta
the horse they were driving was
taken sick, and Elder T. W. Stal
lings was called to administer to
tlm animal. While he was work
ing with the horse ho noticed that
the girl kept shy of him, ami at
one time he noticed that she was
standing behind the buggy crying,
lie reported the matter to friends
in Valdosta, and a party followed
them and found that they had
put up at Mr. M. C. Ulmer’s a mile
and a half south of the town, for
the night. Mr. Ulmer told the per
suing parties that the couple called
after dark and asked to spend the
night. He took them for white
people and took them in for the
night. At supper the man played
off sick and refused to appear in
the dining room. The party re
turned to Valdosta and arranged
to capture them at daylight. Mr.
Ulmer went to the lot and locked
the door to the stable so that they
could not escape during the night.
Next morning at daybreak lie got
ud and found the man in the lot
with bridle in hand ready to make
a start. About that time a deputy
marshal from Valdosta arrived
and arrested tho party and brought
them hack to town. The man
claimed to he white and said they
were from Columbus and were
traveling to Florida, that they had
been married three years. A let
ter and some wrapping paper with
the printed name of a man mer
chandising in Irwin county, found
on the person of the girl, led to the
suspicion that they had run away
from Irwin county. Immediately
Air. W. T. Varn telegraphed to
friends at Alapaha and Tilton, the
nearest telegraph stations to
Irwin, about tne matter, hut
answers came that nothing was
known of the parties. 'Jhe ease
was very suspicious. In fact it
turned out on Thursday that Mr.
W. J. Nelson recognized the negro
as a resident oi Irwin, and it was
tiiought best to hold them longer.
Thursday night Mr. Varn received
telegrams from Tifton and Ala-
palm to hold the parties, that they
were wanted.
Ill) Heats Tolie Jackson,
llrlttln Nows.
When the match was applied
to the fuse of a blast at tho tunnel
on tlm Georgia Midlaud a day or
two ago, the hands at work were
all notified to get out of the way,
and they retreat to a respectful
distance. After the blast went
off oho of the convicts, a white man
failed to show up. It was evident
that ho had taken advantage of
the opportunity to make his escape.
A bloodhound was put upon his
track, but when the dog was again
seen he was found manacled to
a tree with the convict’s shackles.
Two new dogs were put on tho
trail, but when they overtook the
fugitive he made overtures to
them, won their friendship and sold
them to a negro woman for his
dinner. At last accounts the con
vict was still at large with the
chances in favor of making good
his escape.

The la s> oflloif Cholera.
In oi an a 1*01. is,In o. Sept. 11 .—The
ravages ot hog cholera in the cen
tral part of the state are a matter of
serious study by those concerned.
\n important discovery in connec
tion with tlm disease is alleged to
have been made by a farmer named
Sheppard, in Henry county. He
had long believed that the disease is
nothing more or less than paris tes
or trichime in the stomach of the
hog, and to vinilteate his judgement,
had a post-mortem examination
upon a hog that died tld,s week.
His opinion wns substantiated by
the finding with the naked eye of
many of those parasites in the
second lining of the stomach. He
wrote the fact of his discovery
to the secretary of the state board
of agriculture, and ho has referred
tho subject to a microscopist for
examination and report. Mr.
Sheppard thinks he has also discov
ered a preventive of these parasites,
and expects to he able soon to give
his remedy to the public.
A remarkable story comes from
Muncie, Delaware county, to tho
effect that George Wilson, a well-
to-do farmer living eight miles
south of Muncie, died yesterday
afternoon with disease contracted
while administering medicine to
cholera hogs. Attending physi
cians claim that tho disease is
similar to hog cholera, and that
it may become epidemic. Wilson
was only sick four hours, and died
in the most agonizing pain.
The entire southern portion of the
county is horror stricken,anil many
farmers are anxious to sell their
farms and go West. It it reported
that many farmers have left their
homes and will not return until the
question of epidemic is decided in
this cuse.

Hrooksvllle (Kliu News.
An amusing blit disgusting affair
happened in the town of Leesburg
oni' day last week. Wo will men
tion no names for the sake of the
family of the young lady. A young
man, a resident of Fernandina, took
tho young lady spoken of, who lives
in the country, near Leesburg,
and who were out driving, when lie
while on tho trip proposed (pre
sumably in a jesting manner) that
they get married. She accepted
anil the young man ordered the
driver to turn around anil drive to
town, evidently thinking that the
young lady was jesting and would
hack out, before they reached the
town, hut as they neared the town
and the young lady did not say any
thing he found that she had con
sidered the thing in earnest, and that
he was in a trap. So lie began to
to scheme to devise some plan by
which to get out of the dilemma in
which lie had placed himself. He
hit upon the-plan of escaping from
the young lady under the pretense
of having to cash a check at the
hank, expecting to make his way to
the depot, where he hoped to find a
train going out, which he intended
hoarding, and thus escaping. Hav
ing concocted this scheme, when
they reached the city lie told the
young lady as they intended leav
ing on the train as soon as the cere
mony was performed, it was neces
sary for him to get a check cashed
at tho hank, and told her to go
down to the Hotel anil await his
coming; that lie would transact his
business at the hank, procure the
services of a justice of the peace
and have the marriage take place.
It seems that the young lady was
a little suspicious that all was not
right, so, after waiting awhile and
her future intended not putting in
an appearance she set out to Hunt for
him. She went in the bank, and on
being told that the young man in
question had not been seen she be
came convinced that he intended
to deceive her. She went to the de
pot and found him waiting for the
train. When he saw her coming he
tried to dodge around thq corner
of the building and escape, hut she
caught up with him and marched
him up town, intending to take him
before a justice of the peace and
have the knot tied then and there.
But while going up town lie broke
away from her,and making his way
to the depot this time ho struck a
train that was leaving, which lie
hoarded, anil was soon far away
from what was perhaps the near
est approach to marriage a man
ever got without actually going
through the ceremony.
The young lady, finding that sho
was baffled and that the young man
had left, returned home.
It is said that the father of the
young lady, when he learned of the
disgraceful conduct of his daughter
—although the young lady is all of
22 years of age—became so incensed
that he gave her a sound thrashing.

The Coffee .Market.
New York, Sept. 14.—During the
past week or two the coffee market
has been greatly excited at times,
attributed to several causes. Re

decrease in receipts. Some parties
appear to think the rise is only just
begun, while others say that the
market is pretty well strained.
To-ilf^v prices are higher by a to 10

IVo Are Soon Forgotten.
Gwlnnet t Herald.
In tlie early settlement of Law-
renceville one of the leading citl-
izens and prominent merchants
in tliis section was John M. Thomp
son. He built the residence in
which Mrs. Smith now lives anil
the storehouse adjoined. Forty-
five years ago lie moved away and
years afterwards ho returned
here on a visit, and died and was
buried at the cemetery. One of
his daughters, Mrs. Caldwell, lives
in Atlanta, and another one, whose
name we did not learn, at Kingston.
On yesterday these two sisters
made a visit to our town to see
the home of their youth and the
grave of their father.
They stated that this was tho
first time they had been here since
their father had removed. They
werealmost strangers in the town.
They could find but one or two
persons who remembered them
or knew anything of the family.
It is an illustration of how soon
we are forgotten, even a commu
nity in which wo were known so
well. Forty years ago probably
every man, woman and child in
the town knew this family. Now
those two ladies walk the streets
perfect strangers to the hundreds
of faces they meet, but on every
side the natural object, treasured
in memory associated with child
hood’s happy life, remains.
Aroru’a Terrilile Kpldeniic.
Galena, Ills., Sept. 18.—An epi
demic prevails among the inhabi
tants of Ayaco, Iowa county, Wis
consin, which has resulted fatally in
many cases. The disease is of the
nature of dysentery, ending, in cases
of children, in spinal meningitis
and death. Thus far it has been
confined to the limits of the village,
and tliis necessitates the closing of
the school and the abandonment of
all public meeting. The disoase is
similar to that which prevailed with
such terrible fatal effect in Galena
a few years ago and Spring Green,
Win., in 1884. Much alarm is felt.
The Augusta, Hibson and Samlersvllle Itallroad.
Macon Telegraph.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 13.—No pro
gress has as yet been made in the
arbitration proposed between the
comptroller-general and President
Mitchell, of the Augusta, Gibson
and Sandersville railroad, on the
question of the assessment fixed
upon the road by the comptroller
which President Mitchell considers
unreasonably high. The comptrol
ler selected Hon. T. It. Jones, of
Dalton, as arbitrator for the state,
and President Mitchell selected
Hon. II. Clay Foster, of Augusta,
for tho road. Mr. Jones proposed
T. M. Peeples, of Lawreneevllle,
president of tlie Lawreneevllle rail
road for umpire. Mr. Foster de
clined to accept him anil proposed
C. A. Collier, of Atlanta, who was
In turn rejected by Mr. Jones. If
these gentlemen fail to agree by
the 2oth tlie governor will appoint
the umpire.
When tlie comptroller refused to
accept the return of tho road as
made by its prsihlent, he fixed tho
assessment at $4,500 per mile, which
lie claimed was tho average of the
returns made by the narrow-gauge
railroads of the state. Colonel
Mitchell recently requested of tho
comptroller the official returns
made by five of the narrow-gauge
roads of Georgia. It appeared that
only one of them mtujo returns at
a lower estimate per mile than
$3,(500, and that w^s tho Gainesville,
Jefferson and Southern.

The little fellows have made them

Guess. The children worked them
selves into the confidence of the
countryman, filled him to overflow

him to a dark spot on tlie river,
went through him and robbed him
of quite a sum of money. They
are in jail.
