New York, Aug. 19. Grand Mas

Hays, of the Knights of Labor, arrived
here this morning and, with Grand

Switchmen's Mutual Aid Association,
art at the Grand Union Hotel
WEBB DETERMINED.
Vice President Webb said this morn
ing: For the past few days, I hart
been making arrangements to get a
new force of firemen in case those on
the road should go out, and have suc
ceeded so far that any delay from that
cause will be temporary. I have
enough assurance from firemen on my
road to convince me that in case they
are ordered ont, a number of 'them
win not go. Then, if necessary, I will
stop every particle of freight traffic,
close up every yard, and- keep them
closed, until I have obtained a suffi
cient number of new firemen to re
sume freight traffic. Tnis, I think, I
can accomplish within forty-eight noun
as I have long lists of men who will
come at the wages we will pay. My
road will expend" $1,000,000 to win,
and in my action I am barked up by
the stock-holders. -r- .

switchmen may result. The engineers
will not be represented at the confer
ence, but a one of tha Brotherhood
of Engineers' rules provides that union
engineers cannot work with non-union
firemen, a strike of the firemen would
leave nothing for the engineers to do
but to quit work, also.

A Dettperftte Female Murdered
Browwviue, Tex., Aug. 19 Coun
ty Judge Max Stein, of Hidalgo coun
ty, and a wealthy and leading mer
chant of Edinburgh, Texas, was shot
and killed Sunday night, in Reynosa,
Mexico; by Mrs. ' Delia McCabe, of
Cams county Texas.
The murderess is the wife of ex-
County Judge McCabe. Judge Stein,
with his wife and daughter, were in at
tendance at a air at Reynosa, and the
shotting was tone in their presence.
Mrs. Stein, at her husband fell dead,
sprang towards the murderess, but was
felled with a savage blow on the temple
with the barrel of- the pistol The
Chief of Police who reshed up to ar
rest her was also knocked down, and
then, like a lioness at bay, she brought
her ready pistol down on( the police
men who came up, and defied them to
arrest her. jfotte cavalrymen finally
crept behind ht woman, and after a
desperate struggle succeeded in dis
arming her..
The affair grew out of election trou
bles, McCabe being unseated as coun
tyjudge and Stein elected to succeed
htm., McCabe, aided by a party of se
ceders tried to forcibly capture the
court house, and failing, fled to Rey
nosa. .' I'; . , '"
It is said that letters were written to
1
Carns county, where the McCabes for
merly lived, to et their records. Mrs.
McCabe hVard of this, and swore ven
geance on her kusbmd's successor. '

An amount of money has been found
at the door of this office, the finder of
which has picked up money on the
streets a number of times within the
past few years. This shows that the
people are careless with their money,
more so here than elsewhere, within
our kuowledge. Why is it that the
people should complain of the scarcity
of cash, and then droo it about in such
careless manner, no one can tell. ' It
would not be proper for us in this no
tice to describe the money ' found, for
then some unprincipled fellow might
come and put in a bogus claim for it.
The custom in such cases, which is a
very safe and proper one, is to merely
say that money has been found, -so
that one who has lost money may come
and describe it and get it.
France's Gin.
The French have tent over to this
country a gilt in a bronze and marble

feet, and on the sides of the monu
ment stone are figures, of bronze, ten
feet high, in relief, of first, America ;
second, a group of children ; third,
General Ruchambeau surrounded by
friends, and fourth. General the Mar
quis de Lafayette. It has taken sev
eral years to design and cast, cost
150,003 francs, and complete, weighs
sixty lour,, tons. - It will be taken to
Washington by the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. ' ,'

Mr. Jas Patrick Woodson, of Rocking
ham county, who livesat Honey Grove,
Fannin county, Texas.
Mr. Woodson emigrated from Rock
ingham county to Texas at the right
time, as he says, for an enterprising
mechanic to make his way readily,
there being plenty of work at good
prices, workmen being scarce, and in
due time he accumulated a compe
tence at hU trade of a blacksmith, by
which he was enabled to rear and edu
cate quite a family of children. He
gave this account of his sisters who re
mained in Rockingham: Anne did not
marry, Betsey married Jas. H. Scales,
then Pleas! Webster and died thereaf
ter; Martha married Duke Scales, with
whom she went to Missouri, where both
died many years ago; Mary married
Noali Cook, a Presbyterian clergyman
of New York; Catharine married Peter
Scales; Maria married Nat Dodd.
Although over 70 years of age Mr.
Woodson has recently been to the far
west, and was in Oklahoma regjpn not
long since. For a short while past he
has been on a visit to Reidsvillc and
Winston, N. C., and irishburg, Va.,
and this morning departed for his home
in Texas, after a brief visit to his niece
Mrs Miller near Greensboro.
K KlMtriM:imW
The New York papers, and some
others on the outside ate saying ' a
gooAMearabournreeleclrunonTof
the murderer Kemmler1 which took
place at Auburn about two weeks ago.
The consensus of opinion is to the
effectjthat the execution of Kemniler
was a bungling affair, of necessity, and
that the law would , be repealed. So
far the other side has not been heard
frbm, except in what was said by seme
who participated in the execution, and
it is not known how strong an answer
can be framed to the objections filed.
The fact is, this is so much the age of
humbugs that the people never know
whether the actors that pass before
them are real human beings, br mon
keys dressed up in men's clothes and
supplied with patent self acting speak
ing tubes. Accordingly it would be
easy to convince a number of people
that Kemmler is still ative and march
ing, along, and that it was only a
counterfeit presentation of himself that
endeavored the ordeal of electrocution
at Auburn. How refreshing it would
be, too, to those who are opposed to
capital punishment if they could be
satisfied that Kemmler is still alive and
out of harm's way.
out.
The Workman was in error yester
day in saying that S. S. Brown; & Co.
would sell ladies kid shoes for a $1.00.
But we are right when we say they
will sell them for $1.60. and those who
vknow say they are "dandies" toe for
that money.
There are now thirteen persons in
New York likely to soon meet the fate
of Kemmler. ' Five of them have al
ready been condemned to death by
electricity. Among these five are one
Chinaman and one negro.
