10 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. LEFT ON AN ISLAND. THE MACON WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: TUESDAY APRIL 27, 1886.—TWELVE PAGES. MOROHINTB DAUGHTER. She Will be Taken to Pasteur to bo Treated Tor a Dog liite. New You, April 81.—Miss Amelia Voro- 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 under tbe treatment by Dr. l’astenr. Mr. and Miss Morosini left by the< French steamship Labrador at 7:30 this morning for Havre. Tbe threo dogs who Jwere also bitten st the same time have been locked oat and oarcfullv watched since, but no symptoms of rebieshave shown themselves.

( 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. Til/> ten un/ilean o# l.lf Iko VnnelLno -VO A FASHIONABLE FAD.

Memphis Hcinietar; Hum Jones is a ly iug braggart and a onward. Ho takes advan tage of the pulpit und “the cloth" to soy vulgar phrases, use coarse language and otter falsehoods. In his sermiyi* u few days ago at Chicago, this vulgarian who dis. graces the pulpit said: “It is impossible fora society woman to be pure. 1 never saw s reformed society woman yet." Such a statement as this from a irnscher who is supposed to ho 'duel-fearing, pure in miud and heart, and olwuys a gentleman, should nut for a moment lie tolerated. There are pare and lovely women who are society hr lies, and there arepnre und lovely women who are not society belle*. There are loose and licentious women within society— 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 pure," he should have that mouth branded with a good sound blow stiuare in the teeth, and inflicted by the broth, r, father, bus- band or sweetheart of a society woman.” Tbe IkrUl.h It.v.nue.

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.
