of } rices. The scale of prices
was an advane on those hither-
to paid by employing tail-
ors, and the constitution prohibit-
ed women from joining the union,
as well as prohibiting union men
working in shops that gave work
to women. The bosses signed the
advanced scale and all went on as
nicely and smoothly as the most
sanguine could have expected.
At a meeting held a few days ago
the president of the Union pro-
posed an amendment admiting
women to the union. This was
opposed by a number on the
ground that several men were out
of employment, and, to use the
language of one of their members,
the women would work for less
money than the scale called for
and thus break the contract with
the bosses. The shop in which
the president worked having the
controlling vote, the law admit
ting women to full membership
was passed. Ten of the union
tailors then withdrew from the
union. The bosses learned of
this and immediately cut the
scale, and now prices are knocked
galleywest. An appeal has been
made to the Tailors' National
Jnion to settle the difficulty.

B. Hill of New York inaugurates
his canvass, opening at Mitchell
in the afternoon and speaking at
Seymour at 4 p. m., then to In-
wells in the vacinity, thus giving
rise to the prevailing attacks of
fever. The physicians in the in-
fected locality all agree in attri-
buting the trouble to the contami-
nated drinking water used by the
inhabitants. Considerable alarm
has been occasioned by this large
amount of disease, not only
among those in the vicinity affect-
ed, but among others at some dis-
tance off, it being feared that
other wells will be contaminated
on the occount of the defective
system of drainage in vogue.

Arkansas' Defective Eleotlon Laws.
Little Rock., Ark., Oct. 8.—The
Jones-Glidwell contest, before
Judge Hill, has resulted in an im-
portant discovery, which may
necessitate the formation of an
entirely new set of new set of
election laws. Yesterday even-
ing the discovery was made that
the bill passed in the legislature
of 1875, governing election con-
tests, was read the second time by
title only, when the entire bill,
under the constitution, shoula
have been read. The discovery
has created deep interest in legal
circles and several attorneys as-
sert that the law is invalid. It
remains to be seen what the re-
sult of the discovery will be, in
the meantinio it being throughly
discussed, by the lawyers of the
city. An examination of the
archive journal leaves no possible
doubt ol the passage of the bill in
tne above-stated manner. If it
should turn out that the law is in-
valid, which many assert, there
will be something for the next
legislature to do.
FRANTIC GRIEF.
A Widow's Effort to Seesrt the Pistol
With Which bor Husband Sololdod.
New York, Oct. 8—A woman
with a 6 months babe in her arms
called on Inspector Steers yester-
day and made a demand ior a re-
volver with which her husband,
Wm. Haggerty, blew out his
brains a month ago. She told of
the tragedy in her family hi«tory,
her father-in-law falling down
stairs in Depeyster street and kill-
ing himself, and her husband
committing suicide the same day.
Both of them were drunk at the
time and neither knew of the fate
of the other. Weeping and wring-
ing her hands the woman plead-
ed for the rusty weapon which
had made her a widow, remarking
in broken English that it would
prove a real comfort to her. In-
spector Steers did uot like the
wild look in her eyes, and paci-
fied the widow by advising her to
obtain an order from the coroner's
office. There is little doubt in the
minds of the police that Mrs.
Haggerty was in a frame of mind
to turn the weapon upon herself
had she secured it.

was committed last year. She
appealed to the supreme court,
which affirmed the ruling of the

constructed in a field a mile from
the town. The execution, which
is to be public, will attract an im-
mense crowd. The woman will be
the third female hanged since the
war in North Carolina. The

St. Paul, Minn., Oct., 8.—Ex-
Lieut. Gov. JohnC. Underwood
of Kentucky, the present Grand
Sire of tbe Odd Fellows of the
United States, arrived in the city
last night on his return from the
Pacific coast. In 1876 he became
tbe trusted friend of Samuel J.
Tildon, and perhaps did more
than all others to bring tbe South
into Bolid line for the nomination
of the Sage of Gramercy Park at
St. Louis. Gov. Underwood is a
constituent of Speaker Carlisle,
living in Covington, Ky., and
looks upon the great Demooratic
speaker as th» embodiment of the
new era of tariff reform, and
thinks that in 1892 be will be the
Democratic standard bearer. Ho
says he is inclined to the belief
that California will go Democratic.
This opinion is based upon what
he gathered in the vicinity of the
Golden Gate though, ol course it
may be erroneous.
