There is a quiet little strike being con-
ducted by the carpeuters of the city, in
the hope of forcing contractors to pay
for nine hours work on Saturday’s while
they are only willing to work eight hours.
As was announced at the time the con-
tractors adopted on the first of this year
what is known as the hour system—that
is payment would be made by the hour
and nine hours should constitute a
day’s work. This worked all right for a
week, and the journeymen seemed to be
as well satisfied with the new system as
contractors were themselves. Last Sat-
urday, however, the journeymen united
in a demand for eight hours on Saturday
with nine hours pay. This was denied
by the contractors and as a consequence
all the union men declined to go to
work Monday. Non-union men were
substituted in every case, and so all con-
tract work seems to be going along.
The contractors have, as one of them
expressed it, concluded to either run
their own business or shut up shop.
They are disposed to pay the wages
agreed upon, but object to pay-
ing for time that is not worked. So far
those who quit work have made no dem-
onstrations, with one or two exceptions.
One of these was where one of the strik-
ers remarked to the non-union men, who
had taken the place of the strikers, that
they would make them leave town with-
in thirty days. This remark may be
taken as significant. Though the strik-
ers are very quiet at present if may be
taken that they contemplate a movement
that will drive all non-union men ouf of
the city. The contractors seem to be
fixed for business and will proceed pay-
ing by the hour for work done.
A KNIFE PLAY.
At the Union depot yesterday after-
noon two hotel runners named Henry
Brown and Louis Spies got into an alter
cation which resulted in Brown cutting
Spies pretty seriously with a pocket-
knife. The wounded man was taken to
St. Mary’s hospital where he had his
wounds dressed after which he was taken
to the hotel that he was representing at
the time of the affray. He was cut twice
in the head and once in the right breast,
but is not considered to be dangerously
injured. Brown succeeded in eluding
the police and at the time of going to
press his capture had not been effected.
A HAPPY GATHERING.
Miss Rosie Turclc was given a reception
last evening complimentary to herself,
and about thirty young friends, on at-
taining her seventeenth birthday, by her
uncle, Mr. J. E. Mason, at :he latter’s
residence on O, between Twentieth and
Twenty-first. Progressive euchre and
music formed the chief attractions, which
kept the happy company together until
about twelve, midnight. In the former
Miss Valentine Libermanu carried off the
first prize and Air. Ed.Clark the “booby.”
It was truly an enjoyable affair. Miss
Rosie is one of the oldest and most useful
attaches of the telephone service of this
city.

Special Correspondence.
Austin, Texas, January 18, 1887.—
The railroad lobby is working assidu-
ously for John Ireland for United States
senator. Some of the Knights of Labor
aiso have their shoulders to the wheel of
the governor’s senatorial cart, among
them State Lecturer James Jacksoo. Dr.
Dolao, the representative from Harris
county, received a letter from J. Waldo,
kirig bee of the Texas pool, asking him
to vote for Ireland. From this it would
appear that Ox-cart John is getting some
of the moss rubbed off his spinal column
and is willing to joiu forces with the
“grinding monopolies” in order to secure
his elevation to the much coveted sena-
torial cushion. Some of the members of
the Farmers’ Alliance are also doing con-
siderable grunting if they are not lifting
much at the Ireland raising. It looks
very much as though the “Sage of Se-
guin’’ made an excellent straddle during
the labor troubles last spring as he is
being supported by both the “cormorant”
and the “commune.” As for the people,
why in the language of a great statesman
whose name has not been entirely lost to
fame, the people be d—d . While Maxey
is undoubtedly the choice of the people
it is barely possible that enough “in-
fluence” can be brought to bear by the
railway interests and enough political
terror inspired by the secret societies to
place Ireland in his seat. And of such
incongruities a^e practical politics made.
The great event of the season will be
the inaugural ball Tuesday night. Every
body of importance in the city will be
there as well as many visitors from all
sections of the state. Among the Gal-
vestonians present will be Misses Willie
Jack and Lilian Mott. Sir Miles Crow-
ley is in the city aud it is said will attend
the ball in case he can find a pair of kid
gloves large enough. When last seen
he was bargaining for a pair of ham
covers.
RANDOM SHOTS.
The railroad contingent, composed of
J. Waldo, J. Hooper, et al, arrived this
morning. Jay Gould, accompanied by
Messrs Clark, Hopkins and Corrigan will
be here to-night. This is a strictly busi-
ness trip. Messrs. Foster Rose, Nick
Weeks and ex-mayor L. C. Fisher will
sail in to-night.
District Assembly No. 78 Knights of
Labor got down to business this morning.
Mr. John Friery is the only delegate pres-
ent from Galveston.
Hon. Walter Gresham is very sick, be-
ing threatened with pneumonia. He
contracted a severe cold sometime before
leaving Galveston and it is feared that it
was aggravated by the breeze given him
at the Saturday evening discussion of the
proposed charter amendments.
Maj. Plumly is all o.k. and lively as a
lark.
Senator Claiborne is attracting con-
siderable notice and provoking consider-
able comment. Representative Battle, of
Wharton, will vote for Terrel for United
States Senator on the first ballot. It
is not considered that Alexander Wad-
kins, the alleged brainest man in Texas,
stands much chance of reaching the
Senatorial persimmon however. The
fight' will be confined to the heavy
weights. Dixie.

—The marriage certificates issued by
County Clerk Wakelee for some months
past prove very conclusively that the
widows are rather leading the misses in
the matrimonial race. During the co-
lonial days of North Carolina the widows
gobbled up the marriageble men so fast
that the misses petitioned the governor
to pass a law making it a felony for a
widow to marry while a miss remained in
the commonwealth unprovided for, and
if the charming Galveston widows keep
up their present lick a while longer it is
very probable that the misses will have
to band together for mutual protection.
—The irrepressible “Jimmie” Ryan,
who represents Miss Myra Goodwin, and
is one of tne most popular theatrical
agents on the.road, arrived in this city
to-day.
Gets no Foothold With J»s. P. Johnson,
the Market Street Grocer.
“How is butter?” asked the intterroga-
tion point of J. P. Johnson, the Market
street grocer, this morning.
“Butter is all right, only I cannot get
enough of the Jersey creamery to supply
tte demand. You would hardly believe
that the public so generally appreciate
the difference between butters. Now we
have butters produced nearer home that
is made from a good strain of Jersey cows
and it is good butter. But the public is
with butter as Pat was with whisky. He
said it was all good but there was some
better than others.”
“Do you find this the case with other
articles that go to make up what is called
a stock of staple and fancy groceries?”
asked the point.
“I do,” answered Mr. Johnson.
“Cheap goods are the worst thing that a
man can carry and it is little short of
criminal to carry some of the goods that
are being offered to the public.”
“What do you mean?” asked the scribe,
as he slipped a large hand into a box of
Holmes & Courtes’ delicate ginger snaps.
“I mean that in this day of adulterated
goods the public is being supplied with
a large percentage ol rank poison. Every
man and woman of average intelligence
knows this, and the result is that they
will not accept anything but standard
goods. It is true that good goods cost
more than the adulterated trash,but who
is not willing to pay more, especially
when it is known that more adulteration
enters into the articles that we eat and
drink, than in all other articles of mer-
chandise?”
“Where do you find adulteration most
abundant?” asked the scribe.
“Adulteration, whieh is only another
name in seventy five per cent, of cases
for poison, is perhaps most conspicuous
in canned goods. It is for this reason
that only manufacturers of established
reputation do the bulk of the business.
An establishment that has a trade
cannot afford to jeopardize that trade by
using cheap and inferior articles. It is
for this reason that I handle nothing but
standard goods. These I can guarantee.”
THE NEW BUDGET.
Another meeting of the sub-committee
on budget was called this morning, but
only Messrs. Rosenberg, Fowler and
Hughes were present. This not con-
stituting a quorum adjournment was
taken. The new budget should go iuto
effect on March 1st, and it will be neces-
sary that books, blanks, etc., for the dif-
ferent officials be printed after the bud-
get is approved. As the recommenda-
tions of the budget sub-committee are
pretty sure to provoke discussion it is not
unlikely that final arrangements will be
somewhat delayed. Alderman Cuney
was interviewed on the subject this
morning and he stated that the adoption
of the new budget on or before March 1st
was not mandatory and that such adop-
tion had been delayed in years past until
late in April. He thought that should
the proposed charier amendments pass
that the appointment of the fire and
police commissioners after the adoption
of the budget would uot necessarily com-
plicate matters.
PERSONAL.
The criminal district court adjourned
yesterday until Monday next. Judge
Co k left for Austin on business last,
night.
The case of Donnelly vs. the Santa Fe
railway company, suit for damages, is

ing to-day. Among the cases disposed of

bam & Bros., account, judgment by de-
fault against G. H. Cunningham and con-
tinued to perfect service on other de-
fendants. Thus. Goggan & Bros., vs.
O. M. &E. M. Jones, contract, judgment

50 and interest at 10 per cent. G. C. &
