that has aroused Buoh bitter feeling as

Would soon be disposed of and matters

Every one ;is growing impatient at tue
delays encountered, and all are begin
ning to recognize the necessity of set

Within any reasonable time.

of the morning session it was learned
that most pf the time had been Occupied
in discussing the report of the commit

question at usue was whether the dele
gates elected at the n eeting held at 7
o'clock in the evening, or at a subse

and, owing to unfavorable weather, not
much oter two-thirds of a crop had

considerable of the crop has already
been gathered, the frost seriously dam
aged what was still in the fields, still
further reducing the yield. In some in
stances the crop is. stated to be as large
as last year, and the quality as good,
but nearly all tho reports olaim that the
yield will be much reduced, the esti
mates running from one-third to two
thirds of the crop, and with the quality,
especially in parts of North I arolina

Trouble Among tbe Pork Pmcbars.
TH1 XMPLOTXXS 8TRIKS A0AIN8T A RITCBH
TO Till TIN-BOtnt ST8TXM.
Chicago, Oct. 8. Fifteen thousand
employees of twenty-one pork-packing
establishments at the stock yards have
almost unanimously resolved not to re
turn to the packing district Monday.
Yesterday, after the dinner hour, almost
simultaneously, notices appeared in the
different houses, stating that on and
after Monday, October 11, 1886, the
proprietors would open their houses on
a basis of ten hours for a day's work.
To the notice were appended the signa
tures of twenty-one packing firms. The
matter has been regarded by the men
as a bluff, but the authoritative tone of
the notioe had a demoralising effect and
it consequently became the topic for dis
cussion and a resolution on the part of
the men not to return Monday, or until
the lockout is over. The resolution,
however, they are not likely to keep,
and-Monday will probably bring on
the packing district an army of men. The
question as to Whether the hog men
w ill allow the beef men to work is now
beicg discussed; The prevailing im
pression is that the looked-out men will
not allow auy body to work in any of
the packing nouses. Should they con
clude to prevent the beef men from
working, about. 20,000 men will be
thrown out of employment. There seems
no way to avoid the crisis The pack
ers seemed determined and the men say
they will never accede. The Chicago
live stock exchange held a meeting last
evening to consider the matter. Repre
sentatives of the beef killing houses said
they did not anticipate any trouble. Is
view of the possible shutting-down of the
pork packing houses, a resolution was
adopted asking shippers of lire hogs to
the-Chicago market to carefully watch
events and in no eaee to "glut" the
market, but to send only enough hogs
to supply the eastern demand.
CniCAoo, Oct. 8. The great strike
of employees of the Chicago packing'
houses against the proposition to return
to the ten-hour working day began this
morning. The : packirg-house owners
had put up printed notices notifying
their men that, beginning next Monday,
the men would be expected to work ten
hours instead of eight hours ady. This
morning a committee of the 1,500 em
ployed by the Chicago packing and pro
vision oompany waited on the foreman
of the works and demanded that the
notices be taken down. The demand
was refused, and the regiment of work
men at onco left the building, and were
soon joined by 800 men employed in
the Silver I Horn works. Then the
reinforced large force went in a body to
the Armour worka to induce the men
there to atop work. There ia great ex
citement at the : yards, but no trouble
has yet occurred.
This afternoon a large body of addi
tional workmen went on strike and a
not occurred at the works of John Mor
rell, when j numbers of persons were
hurt. . The! entire police force of the
town of Lake and two Pinkerton men,
armed with! rifles, have gone to the
scene.

Montreal arrived yesterday in charge
of a Mexican captain and crew. She
left Colon in ' August, in command of
Capt. Davidson and a crew of fourteen.
After leaving the port the captain and
crew were stricken down with yellow
fever. The captain became delirious,
jumped overboard and was lost. The
steward, boatswain and chiet officer
died. The six remaining men were un
able to manage the vessel and she
drifted at the mercy of wind and wave.
Caught in a hurricane, she lost all her
sails and finally was beached on the

and taken charge of by a Mexican, who
refitted her and brought her and the
sick crew to New Orleans. The oaptaia

-A Pi
cay-
une special from ivey wesf;, r inriaa,
says: Havana advices by steamer today
state that the cigar-makers' strike there,
which, has continued seven weeks, will
probably assume a very serious , aspect
before a settlement is reached.; The
strike originated and was confined until
Monday to factories working partido
or inferior tobacco, but in oonsequenoe
of no settlement being reached, at an
immense joint meeting of manufacturers
and operatives, held lat Sunday, at the
Albia theatre, the manufacturers of
Vuelto absjo tobacco joined issue with
the others and closed their establish
ments, in order to prevent their opera
tives contributing toward the support of
the strikers. The strike has extended
to the interior towns. It is estimated
that 20,000 persons throughout the
island are idle and coEsidtrtble distress
prevails among tht m. The rough ele
ment, taking advantage of the general
excitement, is, committing depredations.
Highway robberies and assassinations
occur daily. A riot hss been appre
hended several days by the authorities
of Havana, who have taken precautions
to keep all the available civil guards
under arms, while mounted polioe
patrol the city, prepared for any emer
gency. The following cablegram was
received lait night via Havana by the
president of the cigar makers' union:
"The cigar makers and strippers of
Santiago de las Yegaa are out of em
ployment and destitute, and ,800 meD
and 300 women are without bread for
their families, and ask thtir brethren in

Mai. Graham and Mr. Nichols, with
Messrs. Long and Strayhorn, the oppos

district, spoke at Pittsboro Tuesday.
Ges Cox also - spoke and hia many
Chatham friends were more than glad to
hear him. Mai. Graham made a most I
favorable impression, we learn from the
Chatham xteoord, and hia speech won
him many votes and stopped the grum-
blingofmanv. Mr. Nichols mad? quite
an artful an demagogic! speech,4 but
it made no impression on the honest
democrats of Chatham. Messrs. Long
and Stravhorn are both pleasant speak
ers, but of oourse it is a .one-tided race
and Mr. Strarhorn will have all his
trouble for nothing.
On the whole, the Record says, the
speaking was a decided democratic suc
cess, and its, effect will be to increase
Chatham's usual majority.

For the benefit of your farmer read

of ail animals, the horse, I send the fol
lowing report of a post mortem examin
ation of an unfortunate individual of the
equine species. It will be seen that our
student haye the advantage of the most
practical instruction.
Oct. 5th a horse belonging to Mr.
Blackwood fell in the harness while
standing on the street. Before it could
be freed from the fastenings it died
Mr. Bl&ckwood called upon Prof. A'kin
boq to tnake an examination, io ascertain
if possible the cause of the sudden death.
It proved to be a very common and ag
gravated form of heart disease. In
flammation of the endoeaTdium
had . induced ; the enlargement ot
the aortic semilunar valves and
of the auriouto-ventricular valves oi the
left ventricle. A profuse abnormal
growth in the form of warty projections
was also present on the semilunar val
ves. The valves thus stiffened permit
ted the regurgitation of blood from the
aorta into the left ventricle, thus dam
ming up the circulation in the lungs,
causing dilitation of the right ventricle,
and inducing dropsibal tendencies. The
amoun: of serum in the pericardium
was greatly increased. The interfer
ence of the circulation in the left ven
tricle caused clotting of the blood,
whioh resulted in masses of fibrin be
oomin entangled on the valves. This
increased until a blood clot form' d, fill
ing the veniriole and preventing its con
traction. The class in biology attended
the examination, and the structural
characteristics of the d if ease were ex
hibited to thid class and to the class in
physiology.
A specimen pf a most wonderful
glow-worm has j been recently found
here . I hope that your readers will dis
cover others; and forward them in a live
state to Prof. Atkinson, so that be may
report on their habits. I have never
seen anything: more beautiful. The fol
lowing is a description .:
A luminous larva of a beetle found
on the ground by D. E. Woodly, the
night cf September 27th.
The "glow-worm" is about 3 inches
long when stretched out, and about
three-eighth of an inch broad, tapering
gently to each end, with quite a email
he Ad. The body is somewhat flattened.
The location and form of the phos
phorescent glands are as followi : On
each side is a row of circular ones, oie
on each segment from the 3d
to the 13 th inclusive. Euh
of these is nearly J inch in
diameter. Between each segment, from
the third ta the thirteenth, ate glandb
whioh emit the light in tranaverao bands
over the baek, making one band between
each segment. On the under; surface
are five pair,one each on the aixth to the
tenth segment inclusive. The general
appearance is a worm beautifully illu
minated with bluish white lights, which
are disposed in a longitudinal row on
each side and in transverse bands.
1 he a udeota in entomohgj ue taking
great interest in the study. The amount
of damage done by insects is incalcu
lable, and I look to the introduction of
this study into the State as a step
towards the amelioration bf this evil.
Yours truly Ramblib.

Gen. Miles, it is now definitely
known, did transcend, the letter of his
orders in tcoepting j conditionally the
surrender of Gkronimo and his band.
The sticklers for military etiquette, de
spite Ms FuccesB in taking the wild
Apache, think some notice to.tubscrvo
military difcoipUnc should be taken of
his delinquency. Gen. Miles is one of
the best soldiers in the army, and to at
tempt to degrade him-would be a blow
at one whose services to his country are
conspicuously distinguished. The Presi
dent and eecnetarv of war have the
whole subject j under advisement. As
