A -BITTIR STRt'OQLt BKUDN AT MIliWApKKS.
Cuicaoo, August 24. A special dis
patch from Milwaukee says a new phase
iiir the brewers'-boycott was developed
yesterday when the best Brewing com
pany served notice on Gambrinus as
sembly, Knights of Labor, that unless
the boycott declared against the brew
ery was ordered off before Friday next
the company wculd discharge every
Knight of Labor its employ. The boy
cott commenced some weeks ago. Pre-
V10nly tht "sembly had mad a de-
niand on the brewers to discharge oer
tain workingmen, to the number of
twenty altogether, who were either
members of the central labor union (a
socialist organisation), or non-union
men. This demand was refused. Then was
formed a boycott against Best's, Falk's,
Qettiman's and Miller's breweries Little
attention, was paid to the bbyoott at
fitst, which led to further efcrts on the
part of the Knights to make it a success.
Cards were procured and posted in con
spicuous places and all sor.ts of per-
f suasion used to prevent the saloonists
from purchasing beer from the boycotted
breweries. Now the breweries are bo
ginning to strike back. It is customary
in breweries to issue to each workman
so many checks daily, each of which is
good for a glass of beer at the brewery
saloon. This is done to prevent con
stant drinking, which would be indulged
in if some such check was not imposed.
Friday the Best Co. abolished the check
system and gave money instead, whereby
men couloV purchase such beer as they
wanted. The same company began the
system of discrimination by giving no
tickets to the members of Gambrinus
assembly, whieh is backing the boycott.
This, waa not very well received but the
6ompany persisted and followed it up by
yesterday's notice. As the brewery
employs about 500 or 600 men and its
lead will be followed by other boycotted
concerns, it is likely that 1,000 or more
ncn will be looking for employment
Friday night unless the Knights back
down. Tho breweries are in good shape
to carry out their threats, as the Central
labor union has denounced the boycott
as unjust.- In case the Knights are dis
charged union men will be put in their
plaoes. It looks very much now as
though the brewers are qn the eve of a
more bitter struggle than they engaged
in early in May,

Chicago, August 24. A dispatch
from Tombstone,. Arizona, says: The
president of Sonora arrived last even-
lug and brings turtner particulars of
the Indian situation. He was at Uucbuta
ranch when Geronimo and twenty-three
bucks ame m.i Six bucks came forward
with a white a flag to five Mexicans at
the ranch and. stated, as already re
ported, their desire to make peace with
the Mexicans for their raid into'Ariaona
and New Mexico. A couple of days
afterward Csnt. McDonald and two
companies of United State stroops arrived
from Kucker, by forced marches with a
view of surprising the Indians. They,
however, had become aware of the
movement jand skipped away several
hours before the arrival of the troops,
in two bands, one often coming north
aud the other of thirteen going east.
This shows how extremely difficult it
is to surprise the Apaches, who are
as alert as weasels. Part of Capt. Law
ton's command come in while the infor
mant was at the ranche. ome men

Mrs A. M. Crow, of Littleton, W

asking her advice as to joining the Good
Templars and signing the temperance
pledge. She received the following re
sponse:
JiiXicuTiva Mansiox, Washingtoh
. Mrs. Crow: The subject to which
you refer and ask my advice is one in
which your own conscience must dictat
the wisest oourse for yourself to pursue'
You have better opportunities for know
j ing how you can do most good,
and l
socma to me that should be the stand,
ard by which we women should set
tle all our great questions in
life. It rarely occurs that a
woman needs for hersel' the restraining
it flucuce of a Umperanoe pledge. But
if by placing ourselves under the obliga
tions of such an organization we can
better help our fathers, brothers, lovers
and friends, I think there should be
no hesitation in the matter. I know
something of the Good Templars, and
that they do much good work- It is quite
certain you can do no harm by casting
your lot on the side of temperance, and
you may ao mucn gooa. 1 ao not con
sider it a small matter, by any means,
and I am clad you asked me the ques

strength to the cause which, happily,

'! Destroyed by tho IaU Storm.
Galvrstok, Tex , August. The
reoent storm proved very destructive to
small vessels off the Texas coast, and it
will doubtless be months before a full
list of ihe casualties is known. The
sloop Katie J. Jf. went to v pieces on
Pelican island; tie crew was saved.
Lying near her, bottom up, is the sloop
Eliza: her crew of two men is sunnoneri
to be drowned. An unknown vessel is
reported bottom up at Red Fish bar.
The schooner Livonia Perkins is nowN
lying bottom up in a bay near Pelican
island: two of her crew were lost. The
schooner Lottie Mayo is reported ashore
near Indianola: all hands are now sup-
Essed to have been lost. The schooner
ake Anotin is near her, but the. crew
of the latter was saved. All small
oraft in the bay from the shoal to Ed
ward s point are reported to have been
lost. The mhooner S. W. Perry has
gone to pieces in the gulf and her cargo
of lumber, valued at $3, OOO' is strewn
along the beath for seven miles. Her
captain and cook were drowned; the
remainder of the orew were saved. It
is roughly estimated that the damago to
shipping in this vicinity during the
storm will approximate $100,000. The
villrgo of (jiiotaLti, at the mouth of
the Brazos river, was entirely swept
away and the Schooners Rosa Lee and
Nettie were driyen ashore No lives
were lost so far as is known. A special
to the .News from Victoria says: Indi
anola is a complete wreck, not more
than three or four houses having es-
capeu destruction dy a neavy storm
which swept over the town last Friday
morning, ut. irsher, quarantine em--
oer, with his wi e, Air. Manono, t aat.
Adolf. Stcrnbrook and a negro woaian
named Martha Ellis had a narrow es
cape from drowning. The quarantine
station was washed away early rriday
morning and they were forced to take
refuge in a large grove of cedars that
grew near the quarantine hospital. For
nine hours they clung to the frail support
before relieved.; Every house on the
upper end of the: island was swept away ;
Beatie Wood, a negro woman, and two
children were drowned. No other lives
were reported lost. Nearly U the
sheep and cattle on the iilaid were
drowned and the remainder will prob
ably perish for want of water. There
is no provisions; on the island except
meat. None of the survivors saved
anything besides what they had on and
mnoh suffering Will ensue unless aid is
at once extended. Orders have been
issued to remove the collector of cus
toms of the Salmia district from Indian
ola to Victoria and transfer will be
made immediately. The bodies of Mrs
Dr. Hodges, her twin children and her
sister, Mrs. Crocker, the victims of the
storm at Indianola, were interred at

The Democratic convention of Warren
county was held Saturday, the 21st. It
was a large, intelligent and active work
ing body of men. Mr. Hunter was
made chairman, Mr. W. A. Mont
gomery was re-elected chairman of the
county executive committee, and reso
lutions of a very flattering character,
endorsing folly his management of the
political affairs of the county, were unan-

tlamen, one from each township, were se
lected for the county executive oommit
tee. It was a wise selection; men noted
for their faithfulness and fidelity to the
democratic party, and who will do their

Resolutions fully endorsing President
Cleveland's administration, the tariff and
silver questions and condemning the
Eraotice of democrats going on the

Delegates to the judicial and senato

which the convention was eloquently
iud ably addressed by Messrs. W. A

Correspondence ot the Nxws and Obskrtkr.
Montgoxzet, Ala., August 20.
I see with much pleasure that the
people of Raleigh have at last determ-
ined to have all the conveniences that a
city of its size and importance should
possess. Here in our town we have all
the improvements suggested and i
thought the Raleigh folk would like to
bear now they are conducted. In the
first place, our street oars are run by
electricity, in the following manner:
There is an electrio machine somewhat
like the maohine wed in generating
electricity for eleotrio lights, and wires
run from that machine to the different
car tracks and are run ubove the tracks
high enough to be out of the way of the
oar. Two wires run along tnis wire
and convey the electricity to the ma
ohine in the ear. There are oogs on the
axles of the car and a flat chain, which is
endless, runs over them and connects
with the machinery in the oar and in
that way the car is propelled. When
the conductor wishes to stop, he puts
on the brake and the same motion that
applies the brake outs off the electricity
The cars run at a speed of
eight miles an hour and with
the full current on can attain a speed 01
fifteen. It has two advantages over
horses and mules. It can run as fast up
hill aa down, and it is cheaper. The first
day the cars started to rui by electricity,
Quong Wah, the Chinese laundrymsu,
said: "No pushee, no pullce, but run
allee samee. 1 suppose Montgomery
has as in' a system of water works as
any tow; n the country. It is a city
of artesian wells, there beiug about
fifteen or twenty. Its artesian water has
a great reputation for healthfulness, aud
many people come from a great distance
to drink it. The writer of this can
testify that he gained ten pounds after
uainir it a month. AH the water used
is artesian. There are several wells (I
suppose you all know artesian wells are
self-operating) that throw on an average
fifteen hundred thousand gallons per
day apiece. That water is forced into
a large reservoir what is situated on tne
hi eh e it hill in town, 'jne reservoir n
self is one hundred and eighty feet
hieh and the water comes from it
through the hydrants (ot wmcn mere is
one on every corner) which such force

Knoxville Tribune.
The Tribune was the first to publish
the report that certain St. Louis capi
talists are to furnish the money to build
the R'chmond & Danville connection
from Knoxville to Unaka. It is well
known that St. Louis capitalists are
large owners in the Walden's Ridge
railroad and adjacent' property. 8t.
Louis capitalists also own several thous
and acrej of land in Sevier and Blount
oounties on which are found immense beds
of the famous magnetio iron ore. The
French Broad railroad from Knoxville
to , Unaka will cut through thitf pro
perty.
1 esterday General R. N. Hood, presi
dent of the Knoxville and Augusta rail
road, went to Unaka, N. C, and there
met Colonel A. B. Andrews,' president
of the Western North Carolina railroad.
The roads of which these gentlemen are
presidents respectively, are owned by
the Richmond and Danville company.
General Hood, Colonel Andrews and
other officials of the Richmond and Din-
vitle are incorporators of the Knoxville
& French Broad railway, which is to
connect Knoxville with the Richmond
& Danville system. General Hood,
Colonel Andrews and other gentlemen
connected with the R. & D. and inter
ested in the new extension were in cor-
ference several hours yesterday at Hot
Springs, N C.
General Hood returned to Knoxville
yesterday evening accompanied by Col.
Andrews and other gentlemen. They
declined to be interviewed, but left last
night for St. Louis. It is of course pre
sumable that the object of their visit to
St. Louis is a conference with the capi
talists who propose to furnish the cash
to construct the road from Knoxville to
Unaka.
From anotler source we hear tie
rumor that the East Tennessee, Virginia
&.(ieorgia railroad company has offered
to' Sell to the Richmond & Danville
company the railroad from Morristown
to Unaka, the forty mile branch known
as the "Buncombe road." This is not
at all improbable, for when the direct
line is ouut irom unaxa to rxnoxvuie
the branch from Morristown to Unaka
will be almost valaeless to the East
Tennessee road. Should the R. & D
secure ihe Morristown branch it is
probable that the French Broad route
would not be built, and the Richmond
& Danville would not come to Knox
ville, but would push on North from
Morristown and connect with the Louis
ville t Nashville at Cumberland Gap.
A; company of engineers sent out by
the Louisville k Nashville railroad have
just completed a preliminary survey of
the route from Knoxville ! to Cumber
lar dGap. This was done with a view
to extending the Louisville & Nashville
railroad to Knoxvillo to meet the Rich
mond & Danville here. But the dis
tance from Cumberland Gap to Morris
town is shorter than from Cumberland
Gap to Knoxville, and if the R. & D.
goes to Morristown the L. & ri. will go
to that point in preference to ooming to
Knoxville.

beach therefore is of clay, covered with
sand, and slopes out gradually for about
one sixteenth of a mile.
Capt Drinkwater, (good name), for

station which is in gnu-shot, says,
It is the safest beach and has fewer
mosquitoes than any other beach on the

In connection with the hotel the 00m
