but usually I connect S (Combattveness)

“Don't yon never gtt tired of your soli
tary confinement?"
“No, not much. I have all the fun I
want in here. You have no idea of how
much real enjoyment is derived from this
business. Let me show you.”
The queer little elmp jumped from bis
couch and detached a striker from a tele
phone gong. Then he scraped away some
wax from the two big ears and placed the
strikeragaiustthe tympanum ot the left ear.
Then by touching u button ho raised ono of
the big eyelids so ns to let in a little more of
the reflected light. Then he connected No.

The little fellow sprang from his couch,
jerked the green shade over his eyes, and
was on his stool before tho switchboard in a
twinkling, I knew from his manner that
something was wrong ,or something was
about to happen. I hold my breHth and
waited. His little band flew over the board
and then he yelled:
“look out!”
There was a crash. The whirr and buzz

PRESTON VALENTINE'S CONFESSION.
He Telle How He Killed en Old Watchman
and the Story of HI, Vila lit.
The Augusta Chronicle contains an ac
count of tlic capture of Preston Y'alentine
by Capt. Ed Purcell, at Lowmoon, Y T a.
Eighteen years ago Mr. YY’illiam Vales, the
night watchman at tho atreet car sta-
ulea, was murdered and his body was then
saturated with keroaone oil and set on lire.
Although a long time has elapsed the crime
was so horrible in its details that it is still

miles from town. 1 stayed there two weeks, |
hut thinking I was suspected, I left and
went to Lynchburg. This was my first
railroad trip of any aize, my former travel
ing being ou foot.
“I stayed three weeks in Lynchburg
working ou boats. I thought I was being
too clostly watched, so I wont to Danville,
where I worked tor one month on a farm
near tin; town. . I became worried and went
to Charlottesville, where I worked on the
water works for ttvo months and then went
to the University and waited on the stu
dents. I had a good time there. The
young men gave me plenty of clothes and I
stayed ftom April until October. When I
left the University I went to Crozet, where
I stayed three weeks doing nothing. I im
agined alt the time that I wasbeiugwatched.
I went from there about November 1st to
Staunton, where I remained a week and
then went to Low Moor where I have re
niained ever since.
“I have been doing well there. Finding
that everybody had a help-mate there, I got
ono, too,” and Valentino pulled the picture
of a light-skinned colored woman from hia
pocket and sh >wed the Chronicle reporter
tho picture of his Virginia wife. “Her fam
ily wanted to mob me,” said Valentine,
when they found ont who I waa and tbut 1
had a wife in Augusta. I have gone under
the name of Tom Jones ever since 1 left
Augusta.”
Valentine is now in jail in Augusta await
ing trial.
Capt. Purcell has proven himself an in
defatigable worker and untiring detective,
and has fairly wou his rewards of >200 from
the State, $300 from the city and $300 from
the Augusto and Summerville Street Hail-
road Company.
RELIGION IN TRAVESTY.
UUImp McNamara Illustrates How Holy
Water Is Slade, Slugs Vespers, Hie.
A' somewhat novel entertainment, par
taking partly of a religions service and
partly of a sairical burlesque, was given
last evening at Ridgewood Hall. Broadway,
under the auspices of ihe Reformed Cath
olic Church of which “Bishop" McNamara
is central figure. The audience, which
was not large, consisted entirely of
lailies, who seemed to have a good
time. The first part ot the perform
ance consisted of the enactment of the
“holy water scene,” by Bishop McNamara,
assisted by Father Kelly. Starting from
the rear of the hall, dressed in priestly
robes the Bishop, with a kitchen duster in
his hand, and Futher Kelly, with a common
white pitcher full of water, started ou a
procession singing in Latin and sprinkling
the watet around, stopping now and again
to make some satirical comment, which
made the ladies laugh immoderately. Ar
riving near- tho platform the bishop told
the audience how tlic priests were able to
transform ono tiling into another by tbense
of cabalistic Latin and the sign of the
cross, and explained that holy water kept
so long by simply putting salt in it. With
the assistance of “Sister" Josephine, a re
cent convert from Romanism, a short vea
pec service in Latin was given, and the
singing was very good, the bishop trans
lating the words afterwards in a serio-comic
«»vL> Fntlu-r Ks'llv tho.n t/iiv** An illustra-
style. Father Kelly then gave an illustra
tion of how a certain ptio-t prcaohed a ser
mon to the children of his parish. Thia
amused tho audience greatly. Mrs. Cath
arine White, another convert, then related
how siio cmne to leave the Roman Catholic
chiu. U aud bow her husband left her on ac-
countof it, and got converted himself down
South in a "nigger” church.
The entertainment concluded with an ex-
hjbition of the confessional, which was far-

before It reached angnstn and took a scat
by Valchtine, who immediately became
very talkative, and admitted that he took
part in the crime with which ho is charged,
le said he got the money, but that ho did
not commit the murder, that it waa done
by three white accomplices, two of whoai
had their faces blacked. Ho was present
and saw the blow struck, but did not strike

That Preston Valentine bas not lain upon
bed of roses will be seen from the account
he gave of bis tour sinoe the night of the
cold-Vdoodod murder, and from tho story of
his travels he twice passed close bv two
county officials and was shot at once shortly
after. He was very talkative and said:
“That was the worst day’s work of my life.
1 was there; saw the mnnler of old man
Vales; got the nickels and exchanged them,
but did not commit tho murder myself.
“On the night of tho 12th of September I
wo* met by a white man in front of Clark's
mill and told to come to the atreet cur stables,
there “was a job ou hand." When we got
to the bridge 1 met two other men, both of
whom had their facoa blackened, hnt not
their hands. We wentinto the office at the
street railroad about a quarter past ten. and
when we heard old man Vales coming l waa
told that if I aalil a word abont what was
done I would get myself into trouble. As
old man Vales got to the door one of the men
lilt him in the head, and when they found
he waa dead, they took the pick and broke
open the drawer and got all the money that
waa in it, then saturated the floor with oil
and act him on fire.
‘•They gave a lot of nickels to me and
told me'to go and get good money for them
and bring the money. I'got seventeen dol
lar* in nicklee; took them to Tomer* and
two other store*- I have forgotten the
name* -»n,l changed them for paper money.
I took it hack to the wlfite men, who were
with me. They gave me twenty dollars
and told me to get away from August*. If
I was caught they said every one would be
lieve that I did the act, and so I skipped.’
“On Friday, after the mnnler, he said
"I did not leave my bonne. Saturday I
want to carry the money back to the white
men, und went to the atreet car stables.
Sunday I stayed around the Central depot,
and Siindav night and Monday I stayed at
Bel Air. While I waa there county officer
Glia Prather passed within ten steps of me,
but I was not afraid ot him. I had a pistol
aud I had nothing to fear. I came back
Monday evening and stayed around Anti
och church. I got up before day and went
to Sand Bar Ferry, and over to Mr. Dunbar
Lamar’s place, f spent the night there and
then went through to OranitevlUe wl an
to Edgefield. I stayed on the Doziir place
until tho next Saturday. I went from them
to Ablieville, and thence to Greetin'!

METHODS OF DESPOTISM. I
The Might* aud Wr«<«*• *>f Labor amt Cap
ital.
Leading Editorial in New York Timet.
The datal defect in the methods which
organized labor in this country shows such
a Btrong tendency to adopt lies in their in
consistency with tho principles upon which
oifr institutions, political and social, are
founded. So long as the independence and
personal feclingH Hurvives these methods
most fail,for they are in direct conflict wi h
thatapirit. Oor government i* founded
upon the liberty of the individual, and our
whole social fahrifl reals upon its recogni
tion. The people of thia country have in
stated from the beginning of their existence
an a nation upon tlic right of the individual
to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happinoa
without inteiference from other individual*
or even from the government itself, except
us a penalty for the violation of the seme
right in other*. No authority derived from
law can take away a umn * property unless
for a necessary public purpose, and then
only for adequate compensation; or inter
fere with"a man'* business or occupation ho
long as it is not harmful to others. Not only
ha* tho btuto no right or power to do these
things, hut it is bournl to protect citizens
against them.
This principle of the right of the indi-
iilual is fuud unental to our Government
and to our social system, and it must be
recognized in our industrial and labor sys
tem unless tho latter are to become un-
American in their structure and their in
fluence. As a starting point it must be ad
mitted that every man lias the absolute
right to work for hi* li ving and hi work on
such terms as he may accept for himself,
and he has the right lo employ the work of
others on such conditions as may be
mutually agreed to. But men have also the
right to combine for the promotion of their
common iiitere*ts and to surrender their
individual right* to any extent they may
Bee tit as a means of attaining general ends.
Those who enter into such voluntary com
binations und bind themselves to obey the
decree* of nil organization of which thev
are part have a right to demand any condi
tions they pleaae for their work and to re
fuse to give it unless their condition* are
accepted.
Rut the right of an organization of labor
are limited to the boundaries of its niember-
«hip. It has no right to interfere with the
labor of those who have not voluntarily sub
mitted themselves to it* rules. If it create*
vacancies in any occupation it has no right
by force or intimidation to prevent them
from being tilled by others. It ha* no right
to interfere with the property or tho busi-
nc»** of those whoso employment it has
given up. If it destroys or injures property
or interferes with the prosecution of a legiti
mate busiuess, it doe* what the State itself
would not bo suffered to do and what it i*
hound to prevent others from doing or to
pnnish them for doing. It* method* be
come tho methods of despotism, which can
be enforced only by the overriding of right
by might.
■ When a labor organization undertake* to
enforce its demand* upon one person c-r
corjioration by culling ont even it* own
member* from the employment of other
person* or corporations, expecting thereby
to induce such interruption of hubiuefi* or
loss as to bring a pressure to bear tor tho
accomplishment of the original purpose, it
goes altogether beyond any right that can
be admitted in a free country. It commit*
the radical injustice, which only despotism
could countenance, of making one man
KUlfer for the offense of another. If laws
were to inflict penaltic* upon one set of
persons f«»r the wrong-doing of another set.
they would be denounced as infamous; if
tho government compelled one set of citi
zens to make good the losses caused by an-

EDMUNDH'S RESOLUTIONS.
Rqiub lean Snlon S.j Tliry Mi» Vote on
Nomination, Kegerdis ,f C i cm
VixaniM'iToN, March 27.—Now that the
Edmunds resolutiona have been adopted,
the prevailing impression among Senators
of both parties is tint pending nominations
will be taken up und disposed of rapidly.
It k plainly not tbe intention of the major,
ity to construe these resolutions as binding
upon the Senate to reject any nomination
simply and solely bceanae papers on file
may be refused. Leading Republican Sena
tors in tbe closing debate declared that,
notwithstanding the resolntiona, they
would consider nominntions to take the
place of anspemlcd Republicans upon tho
merits or demerit, of the cases ruqiectively.
A Republican Senator said to-day that be
should certainly vote upon each und every
nomination just as though the resolution
bad not lieen adopted, lie added that he
expected to sec all the ]>ending nominations
confirmed, exccnt such—if there be any
such aa it may be shown are of bad char
acter.
It seems to he understood tint Die Senate
will not persist in demanding the papers
relating to ru.ee of suspension. In eeses
where a siiqiended official has complained
that reason to believe charges have
lieen made against him, tbe simple state
ment of u Senator that no aneh chargee
exist will be taken as sufficient. There are
cases, it k said, where suspensions have
been made Imceuse of some delinquency on
tbe part of the incumbent. In such cases,
ss a rate, tho drixs-ed official has not muni,
tested any desire for an inve ligation, and
his silence will lie .-oiivtrued that he lias no
objection to going outof office. Tbe Senate
will begin early urvt week, probably on
Monday, to bold executive sessions quite
regularly, and the calender of noiuinatione
will be cleared up pretty rapidly. The Re
publican Senators generally wish to porane
this iwiiicy.

LaC ,'itnosE, Wis., March 23.—Peter Appleby,
druggist of thk city, quarreled with hi,
wife. In a tit of passion he dashed out of
the house, after hurling a glass jurat her
head. He waa seen running in tbe direc
tion of tbe Lut'rnfM river, anil nothing being
heard o( him lor three weeka Mrs. Appleby
publicly announced that her hueband bud
committed suicide by drowning. She at
once liecame engaged to August Tiara,
yonth wbo anaiated Appieby in his drug
store.
AVillie Christmas and Timothy Joiner,
two lada, were playing on the hanks of the
river this morning when they spied a big
block of ice flouting fifteen or twenty feet
from shore. The ice waa nnuaually clear.
The lada noticed a black object Inaide it.
Their curiosity wasaroneed. Takings boat
they rowed ont to tho toe, nnd throwing a
a rope aronud it towad it to land. Then
they saw that the black object waa the figure
of a man. Tbe ioe had formed about a foot
thick all around him from tbe top of hk
head to the soles of his feet
Tbe ladies summoned assistance. The
ice was lifted out of the rivet and taken to
a neighboring hotel, where it wae placed
near a hot stove. It rapidly melted away,
exposing tbe body of the man inside. One
of the waiters recognized him aa Druggist
Appleby. Alter he had completely melted
out of tbe ice, restoratives were applied.
In a short time he had reeovered suffi
ciently to ask questions. When told tbe
day of tbe mouth he said that be evidently
must have lieen frozen up for three
weeks, it being just three weeks
since the day when he left bk
wife in auger. He says that he rushed
down to the LaCrosse river to commit sui
cide. He plunged into tho water, bnt it
was so chilly that he climbed back to tha
bonk. Then recollecting that he bad a
8 hist of laudanum in his pocket he drank
le contents nnd lay down by the river to
sleep the sleep of death. The LaCrosse
most have overflowed him and receded
number of times, thus causing Ihe iee to
form aronud him. Finally a block floated
down stream with Appieby inside of it.
When bis wife was told of the occurrence
she consented to give up tha young clerk,
forgive her husband, and take him hack.
