UNION AND NON-ONION.
Tim Right. and tba Wrnnj* of Employer
And Laborer.
Them is an i m ports n t)il i ff o ren ce>, fays tb«
Now York Times, between the statement of
tbo strikers on tbo Tbinl Avenue Railroad
and that of the officers of the company ns
to the cause of their trouble. V/beu the
“tie-np" wo* ttrst ordered it was stated by
President Lynn that it* sola cause was n re
fusal to elie-ebsrgn seven drivers and con
doctors who did not belong to the Empire
Protective Association, because they liod
been offensive to its members and worked
■gainst it* interests. Now a statement is
put foith in behalf of the strikers which de
clares that sn increase of pay for laborers
on the tracks from (1.35 to $1.75 per day
Wo* demanded anil refused; that an in
crease for the men in charge of the regia
ten from $1.25 to $1,115 - service
for which the other companies pay
$3—was demanded and refused; Unit in vio
lation of ita agreement for a redaction of
honrs the company kept tlm men on tlio
cable cars at work fifteen and a half hours,
and that it paid “trippers" only $1 a day,
after having agreed to pay them SI.50, ami
refused to right this wrong. Mr. Lyon is
now reported as saying tuat this list of
grievances was snlinutted to the company
on Monday and “disposed of' It is evident
that it was not "eii-posmi of" to the satis-
faction of tho men. Novertheleos the spe
cific demand presented on Thursday, tho
refaaal of which was followed t,y the order
to ‘-tie np" the cam, was only that for the
diachargo of the non-anion men. This
does not spjx'ar to he denied.
This latter demand is altogether unjust.
Non-union men have a right to continue in
the employment of tho company and the
company has a right to employ them. What
their relations or conduct may be toward
the anion it is not the business ot the corn
pony to impure and its powers cannot
ightly ho invoked to enforce the discipline
of a labor orgsrffzittlon or to coerce men
who do not belong to the organisation into
submitting to its discipline. The refnsal of
this demsod will he sustained by public
sentiment* and if the men hod other and
valid grievances it was a serious mistake to
put forward this untenable demand us the
ground far a striko. They should have
made their coal aa strong as possible by
■ticking to the list of real grievances.
It is a difficult matter to get at the exact
merits of a controversy of this kind. If it
is true that the company, after making an
agreement in regain to wages and hours
of work and getting its men back after the
former strike, proceeded to violate that
agreement the men have a jnst cause of
complaint They should be able to rely
implicitly apon tho promises made them,
and bad faith on the part of employers is
calculated seriously to aggravate difficulties
of this kind. There is evidence of a dis
position, not only on the part of this com
pany, but of other corporations which have
had timilar troubles, to get rid of union men
and fill their places with those who ore not
tinder the orders of committees and assem
blies. II the unions persist in trying to
enforce unjust demands and in ordering
■trikes and boycotts on every trivial oc
casion, without making earnest efforts to
settle actual grievances by pescefnl methods,
employers may be .forced to adopt this pol
icy'even to put a premium uti non-scion
labor by offering better prices for it The
vexations produced by capricions and abi
trary orders of unions are too injurious to
business interests to b« tolerated long.
One thing is plainly evident The public
opinion of the oountry ie getting arouaed on
this subject in a manner that bodes no good
to the labor organizations. Sympathies
which liavg heretofore been strong on the
side of laboring men are veered around in
consequence of the attempt of somoof their
leaders and organizers to be dictatorial and
tyrannical. Heckles* attempts to injure-
business and to cause widespread trouble
on account of individual wrongs and local
controversies have excited resentment
There is a strong underlying spirit in this
oountry, strong among workingmen as well
as capitalists and employers of labor, in
favor of freedom and fair play. Oppression
.will be resisted whether it is exercised by
government, by corporations or by orgaui-
ration* which profess to represent the cause
of labor I Our people will hear a good deal
of prtwyute which seems to have a legitimate
■•• lb view, but they will not put up
'with ijptation aud tyranny.
Among tho rights of American citizens
.ar* the right to work without belonging to
a union and tho right to employ workers
svho do not belong to unions. It is the right
of a workingman to retain control of bis
own action it he aeea fit, amt if organiza
tions go too far in attampta to enforce the
orders of committees and Master Workmen,
w ithout reference to their justice or wisdom,
they will make it for the interest of every
workingman to declare his independence
and take charge of bia own interests. To
yield up individual liberty to tbe control of
an executive committee or the chairman of
an executive committee is ns inconsistent
with the spirit of oar institntiAns as to sub
mit to autocratic power in political affairs.
There is in the present drift of public senti
ment n warning to labor unions not to ex
ceed the bounds of reason and to avoid
methods that are capricious, arbitrary, un-
lawfnl or tyrannical. Otherwise they will
do vastly more injury to the cause of trade
nnb nism then it is in the power of capital
to do, however strongly organized.
NEW AMERICAN TORPEDO BOATS.
An Ingenious Device that I* Driven and
Steered Under Water l»y Electricity.
Tho United States may bo behind the
world in naval armament and coast defenses,
but if all the inventions which k- ep bobbing
up to meet tbe long-felt wants were given n
fnir ehaneo under tile fostering infinence of
Congressional appropriations this would be
the most armed nation in the world. Tho
main tendency at present seems to be toward
torpedoessnd submarine torpedo boats. In
a large muchineshop on the east aide of this
city a number of torpedoes are being built
for the government on a plan which has
received the approval of tlte engineers at
Willett's Point One of them has been
completed and tested and is now in sections
at the shop wuiting to be packed np and
shipped to Washington.
'J he motive power is electricity and tho
current is supplied through a light cable
from a dynamo on ship or on land. Tho
motor is of the ordinary simple form—a
dynamo reversed—and the coil fits into the
budy ef the torpedo shell, which is of cop
per, eighteen inches in diameter. The ca
ble is carried in tho torpedo shell and is
paid ont a* it goes along. Thas the mc-
chani-m can travel three or fonr miles from
its base of power. The cablo does not have
to be dragged through the water but lies
stationary and is spun out os a spider lets
himself down to his web. The torpedo it
self is twenty-eight feet long aud of cigar
shape. It will not float, lint iif submerged
a few feet, and is supported by a raft of
cork, which is twenty feet long and about
two feet wide. This can tie riddled with
shot without destroying its buoyant powej
The eharga of two kandrcl pound
of dynamite is pnt in tho bow, and
tbe whole apparatus then weighs 3,700
pounds. Those built for experiment have
been driven at a speed of eleven miles an
hour. The propuhion is by a screw, the
abaft ot which is coupled directly* to tho
shaft of the motor's armature. The name
current that drives tho motor actuates tho
magnets which control the rudder. Varia
tions in tho amount of carreut affect a relay
which re v. ims the largo magnets and moved
the rudder. The iron piece that rnns from
the forward end of the raft to the forward
end ef tho torpedo ia sharpened to a knife-
edge in order to ont any obstruction. Wbcu
it c-uu't cut its way throngli it (lives under.
Two little painted spheres raised seve ral
inches above the reft indicate the position
of the torjeedo and the direction in which
it is pointed.
Tho advantages of this system of torpedo
management are numerous. Unlimited
power as loug us the connection remains in
tact, invulnerability, the possibility of
launching it long before the enemy is within
range, keeping It moving alongside, and dis-
cbat'ging it in any direction while under fire,
are a few of the most noticeable points.
Tim danger of breaking tbe connecting wire
and thus losing ail control of the torpedo is
the main elrawbook. A little ironclad sur
rounded by .i convoy of a dozen of these
torpedoes might creep into the midst of a
fleet and discharge them in all directions.
They can be sent ahead to flow upa torpedo
blockade in entering a harbor, while a fleet
of them operated from the shore might he
kepi in motion to guard tbe month of a har
bor from entrance.—New York Tribune.
WITH HIS NKt'K BROKEN.
Living Three Years sail Surviving s Severe
Ssrglesl Operation.
Frank Spencer, a young man living at
Elizabeth, while eternising in a gymnasium
ill April, 1883, fell from a horizontal bar.
He was carried home unconscious. The
doctors who were summoned said he had
broken his neck, and that he could not live
an hour. After fonr day*, however, con
sciousness returned, hut he could not movo
• muscle below bis head. He lingered in
this condition for two yean, and then Dr.
Morris of BeUvue Hospital and othei sur
geons performed sn operation intended to
make life less a burden for the young man.
An incision was made ia the liack of hi*
neck and down the siine, eight inches
from the base of tbe skull, and the
veitehne- were expossd. It was found that
splinters of the vertebra- and other pieces
of bone had been crushed into the spinal
culamn, killing the nerves and checking
circulation of the blood, producing paralysis.
It was hoped by ths surgeons that tbe por
tion of the spinal column which had become
dead could be token out, and the two live
ends of the eotomn joined together. These
were token out and the parts were thor
oughly cleaned. It was then found, that
the distance, four and a half inches, was
too great to bring the severed ends of the
spinal cord together. The incision was
sewed up and the patient recovered from
the operatioo, Dr. Morris saying that
though tbe desired results lead not been ob
tained yet the life of hpencer would be pro
longed end attended with lees pain. The
young man lived soother year, bnt never
during that time moved s limb. HU case
was a wonder to rany medical men. On
Wednesday night haelied. He was 31 yean
old. He retained his mental 1 acuities until
the last—New York Han.

stnl, tho fourteen-year-old daughter of
Broker O. F. Morosinl, who was bitten in
the face by a dog on Wedtieselsy of last
week, lias since been under treatment by
Dr. Bnlkley of this city. No symptoms
have developed themselves which would
confirm snspioions as to the presence of hy
drophobia; but Mr. Morosmi concluded,
acting under tho advice of Dr. Bnlkley, to
take his daughter to Farit and place her

Interesting Experience of tho Survivor, of
n Wrecked Vawt. (
San Fbancihco, Cal., April 18.—The
steamer Alameda, arriving from Sidney
yesterday, brought the captain and crew of
the wrecked brig Levi Stevens, who were
picked up at Samoa. The vessel sailed from
Fuget Sound in October last for Melbourne.
The Stevens has been long over.due*, anil
not being seen by other shtpeor having pnt
in at way ports, bus for some time been
given up as lost with all her crew. Several
wrecks have been seen in the South Seas,
stud among them was supposed to have been
tho I.evi Stevens. One m particular, found
floating with the keel np, waadefinitely set
tled upon as the wreck of this vessel. The
survivors of the Stevens passed through art
interesting experience during and after their
shipwreck, a poition of their lime being
spent after tho manner of Robinson Crusoe.
The story of the wreck as told by Capt. C.
Johnson and corroborated by others of the
crew i« as follows: 'Tho Levi Stevens left
I’uget Hound on October 2, loaded with lum
her tor Melbourne. Nothing unusual oc
curred on the voyage until October 10, when
the brig spruug a leak near Btarport. The
crew were unable to locate the leak, hut tho
pumps kept the water down. Suddenly, on
November 1, one of the pumps broke, and
it was found thnt the water kept gradually
gaining headway in the hold, and that one
pump was insufficient to keep the vessel
trom sinking. Capt. Johnson then eieter-
mitted to put into tho nearest place of
refnge and have tho damage repaired. The
nearest land happened to be Hnwarra Reefs,
distant several days' sail, and accordingly
the captain steered for that locality. He
gave orders to keep a sharp lookout, as the
leefs were dangerous. On the night of No
vember 13, while first mate Brown was
on watch, the vessel struck the
reefs and all hands made haste
to get ashore. In attempting to laud
the captain's head struck against a floating
spar and his forehead was badly cut. Sea
man James McChetl was also injured. Tbe
Levi Stevens went to pieces in twenty min
ntrs. Some of the seamen bad hairbreadth
escupes front drowning. After the crew
were safely on shore, some efforts were
made to Have provisions, and a quantity of
hard tack and salt beef were reocned from
tbe waves. The captain managed to gave
his treosnre box containing his money and
E r.'vato papers. The reef on which the
evi Stevens struck is known as Hnwarra
Jteof, being one of muny lagoon reefs ia tho
South Seas. It is about 400 miles east of
Bamoan Island. It is fourteen miles long
and nine miles wide, and save some coco-
anut trees, can boast of little vegetation of
nso to castaways. On tho lagoon reef the
crew discovered five Kanakas. They in
formed Capt. Johnson that a vessel was ex
pected to touch at the reef in about ten days.

Memphis Hcinietar; Hum Jones is a ly iug
braggart and a onward. Ho takes advan
tage of the pulpit und “the cloth" to soy

graces the pulpit said: “It is impossible
fora society woman to be pure. 1 never

Such a statement as this from a

for a moment lie tolerated. There

there are also, alas, loose and licentious wo
men within the folds of the church. There
are good men and good women in teociety
and “in the church?’ there are bad men and
bad women in society and “in the church.”
and when Ham Jones nr any other man
dares to utter the foul-mouthed slanderthat
•it is impassible for a society woman to he

The ten days spoken of by the Kanakas as

Day after day passed, and still no sail was

and the long-expected ship came not. The
time passed drearily. Ths provisions gnvo

THE OREGON DISASTER.
Evidence that the Steamer Collided With
the Kchooner Charles II. Hone.
Nkw Yobk, April 17.—It is now pretty
certain that the schooner Charles II. Morse
sank the steamer Oregon. The Morse was
a coaster of 535 tons, bnilt in Bath in 1880
by her owners, Morse A Co., 30 Honth
street, this city. She was loaded in Balti
more with Cnmtierlaud coal whi. li was to
be delivered in Boston. On February 16
she sailed from BulUmorc and in due time
reached Hampton rood where contrary
winds detainee! her nntil March 11. MenuJ
time seventy three-masted schooners gath
ered there la .ides other vessels awaiting
fuvorablo weather. When tho wind shifted
this great fleet pnt to sea in company,
nearly half of them heading np tho ooa*t
for northern ports. Coasting schooners are
orach alike in their sailing qualities, so that
on Baturday night at sunset this dee; was
off llarnegut light, with a light favorable
wind carrying th« vessels on their way. The
Morse was in the first.
When the wind is fair, coasting schooners
bonnil to Eastern ports hesel across from
Bomegat light to Fire Island. If it ia ad
verse, they come in by Handy Hook and
go throngli tbo sonnd. With the wind
northwardly, the fleet, on that Hatarday
night, lieoefeei across for Fire Island. Boon
after 4 o’clock the next morning the chief
officer of the Oregon saw a flash light on
her port how. A moment later the big
suits of a schooner levomed tip alongside.
Almost instantly a erash followed us the
schooner strnck the tide of the big ship.
The Oregon swept on practically beyond
control. In flve times her length or about
half a mile, when her officer looked around,
there wiis a schooner in sight, ho says.
The #lory of what followed on the < Iregon
is well Known. It is also known that every
•me of that fleet that Hailed ont of Hamp
ton rood* and np the coast except the Morse
ha* reached port, and that nootheroehooner
that could have been anywhere neat that
locality at the lime of the collision has been
Inst The schooner Charles II. Hone sunk
te e (Iregon and was swept under water und
out of right by the swift running steamer.
The talk that ■ schooner could not sink an
iron shipisidle. The momentum of eighty-1
five tons of coal ia a schooner weighing
hundreds of tons more, snd moving at the
rate of five miles an leonr, would crush
through iloulle the thickness of the best
steel, let alone tbe pot inetui of which ships
are Ott'-Il 'smstrui ted.
On iioanl the Morse were nine men, allot
whom were Americans. Of these the name's
of Ave arc known, as follows; A. Munson,
Jr., A. F. Wilde r, Ed McMahan, Mr Hob
laud and Me. Bluisdelt There were in ad-
|diti«n fonr men before tbe mast, all of
whom lived in Maine. The officers of tbe
t Iregon said that they saw no side lights cn
the schooner. This is commonly said by
officers of *hi|>s that have been in collision.
The tact that there was only a nominal
nnionnt of insurance on tbs Oregon—scarce
a six Ft nth of htr value, leede to the infer
ence- that her owners would exercise un
usual vigilance. Tbe Morse wss titled with
the best of lights and nil modern appliances
for Hccuring her safety and Unit of her crew,
lit is unjnst to the memory of these men to
nuy that they were slice pat their posts, or
negligent in their duty. They bad the right
of way and had a right to suppose that the
steamer would keep clear of them.

”J am not going away," said the young
lady, with a subdued religious drooping ot
the eyelids, showing a gentle tremor of the
exquisite lu-.be*; “I am going into retreat.
"Retreat! Where is it? Rather early is
it not for the country or monntains?"
“Ob! dear, 1 wish 1 hadn't me t you—it is

so little time for praying or religions duties. ”
“Do you exclude everybody, or is Jack

advantages of bis operation of dehorning

An effort is bring mode to arrange for a
inblio demonstration, in tbs vicinity of
ipriugfield, of the practice of Dr. Huff,
which it is claimed will at no diutant data
work a revolution in the cattle business of
the oountry. Dr, Uoaff writes u follows;
Ho much interest is manifested by those
who hare beard of “dehorning” cattle sinco
I introduced the practice iu this bountry
among my own herd of oattle, and have
demonstrated, by years of snccessfnl nso,
the utility of the prsotioe, that there is no
need of doing m -re than to call attention to
its advantages. Two hundred hnman bo-
ings are yearly killed by horn thrusta in the
United Htatea; the horses and cattle, the
abeep and bogs that meet an untimely end
are liumbereel by thousands. Add to these
the saving of ono-fonrth of feed in wink r-

( I.AIMED BY FOUR WIVES.
Curious Matrimonial ltrrnrel by the Late-
Lawyer Eos of Philadelphia.
FuiLADKLrmA, April 17.—Elijah Fox,
who, as an attorney, gained some note in
connection with tho caso of Annie Cntler,
tier) colored girl who killed her lover, died
with a curious record. As his body lay in a
coffin in the honsc of Geo. B. Banowes
three vt-ilod mourning s-oiurn entered snd
kmk «i at* near the- casket ami followed the
remains to Monument Cemetery. A fourth
woman tele graphed from Chicago to delay
the fnnrral to permit her attendance. All
these claim to be widows of Lawyer Fox.
The true wife is now living in poverty alter
years of neglect and desertion. Fox daring
the past three years has bu n away from
bernrach, aud she believed his assertion*
that he was hard at work and was com
pelled to sleep in the office.
During all that lime Fox bad lived with
Harriet Little, who claims to have been
mnrrieel to him by the Friends ceremony.
They have lived together os Mr. and Mi*.
Fox in a number of fashionable bourding-
hoase*, tho last place being No. 117 Pine
street, where Fox died.
When not residing with Harriet Little,
Fox, it seems, was known as the husband of
Maggie William*- Tbe woman who tele
graphed from Chicago for a delay at tho
funeral was May Carney, who also was
known *a Mrs. Fox. Elijah Fox died atthe
age of thirty.eight years, and though a mere
lioy st the outbreak cl tbe war, enlisted as a
drummer in the Third New Jersey Volun
teer*, snel st tbeir return re-enlisted in the
Thirty-fonrth New Jersey.
From there he was transferred tv the
Quartermaster’s Deportment, s position be
held till after the dose of the rebellion. He
was admitted to practice at the bar in 1870.
Htrangely e nough, about a year later he
caused the arrest of his own father for big
amy, the latter baring left bia wife and gone
to uve with another woman, for which he
was sentenced to fonr mouths in the peni
tentiary. He always dressed well and wore
