The Fourteenth regiment was in readiness all day to suppress any demonstration that might occur, and guards were multiplied all over the city. Nothing but incendiary speeches were mode, however, and no overt acts attempted. The contractors claim that the food has been abundant except where the provisions ordered from Pittsburg had not arrived in time. Each contractor has been ordered to reduce his force so as to not exceed 450 men, so the absence of the strikers will not embarrass the contractors.

Joseph Trunzer, while at work on the bridge gorge last evening, noticed three suspicious looking fellows loitering around and several times ordered them off. Finally one of them lunged at him with a knife, but missed. Trunzer fel!ed the man with a bucket At this juncture another of the gang jumped toward Trunzer and fired a pistol at him, the ball flying past Trunzer's head. Seeing the man preparing to shoot, Trunzer stooped and picking up the man he had knocked down he held him out in front of himself and started after the man with the revolver. He kept up the chase for a minute or two, but the man he was carrying becoming heavy he dropped him. Again the fellow fired and missed. The chase continued clear down the Conemaugh to Cambria City, where the fellow ran into a house and into a dark room where Trunzer attacked him with a hammer and dealt him two blows on the head, almost crushing his skull The fellow was then arrested, together with his two companions, and after a bearing committed to jail at Ebensburg. This affair has bean the most exciting of all that have taken place here.

It has been learned that Calder, the agent who sold the ticket from Winnipeg to Liverpool to Burke, was the man who spotted the suspect and sent for Chief Rae to arrest him. Burke, in buying the ticket, said that he wanted ono which would take him all through British territory as he had some trouble in th" States and did not want to risk himself south of the boundary line. This aroused Calder's suspicions and he sent for the chief of police, who shadowed Burke until he thought fit to arrest him. How Burke was Arrested. Batteries: Lovett and Reynolds, Foreman and Quinn.

Adams was appointed to Geneva, March 3, 1878, and is now transferred to Horgen. Every county in the state save one, Washington, gave a majority in favor of the repeal. In this county, Providence, the vote for repeal was four to one. The work which was done in the towns by Gen. Brayton's men staggered his opponents, some of the towns rolling up repeal votes where not more than one or two ballots of that nature were expected to be found in the box. There was not a dollar used by the repeal men for buying votes. Last week they made up their minds that the fight should be won or lost on its merits. If the llfth amendment couid not be repealed without bribery, then it would not be wiped out. This determination and an adherence to it lost many votes for the repeal which might otherwise have been obtained. The young fellows stood about the polling places all day waiting to be "sugared up" and refusing to vote until they saw the color of the liquor dealers' money. Failing to be bought they did not vote at all. This is the first time in many years that an election has been carried on and a victory won without money influence and direct and open bribery, and it puzzles the Prohibitionists, who were so confident that the state was to be flooded with corruption money that they made up a pool of $5,000, which, it was publicly announced, would be given to those who would report and secure the oonviction of bribers.

Washington, June 31.—Civil service rule No. 10, as modified by President Harrison, makes ex-Federal soldiers eligible for reinstatement in the classification service, without regard to the time of their dismissal. The rule before its modification limited the time in which ex-Federal soldiers could be reinstated to one year from the date of their discharge. This effect of the modification of the rule will be far reaching and radical in character.

He learned, it is stated, that the mail pouch had been delivered at the door of the postofiice as usual to the driver of the contractor's wagon. The mail clerks on the train which should have received the postage stated that they had never seen anything of it. The pouch, it was thuC reasoned, had disappeared after leaving the postofiice.

Upon those who have cast their ballots in favor of the continuance of the traffic the responsibility rests for the crime and a rrow that are inseparable from its continuance in any form. They should have the manliness and courage to assures it aod admit their participation as accessories before the faot to the murders, deeds of violence and of the bad blood that the business will incite in the (mure as it has in the past. Upon them the burden will rest of explaining to the drunkard's wife and children how much their condition is improved because the man who sold the husband and father the bell broth that wrought his ruin paid the license fee for the privilege.

He Was Compelled to Leave Exeter Academy. Henry W. Palmer, Chairman. Exeter, N. H., June 21.—The expulsion of S. M. Brice, son of Calvin 8. Brice, from Phillips Exeter academy has produced a sensation. Young Brice was very popular with his class, and after his expulsion they met and elected him class president, and he read the class history before them. His diploma was withheld and he was not allowed to take part in the regular class day exercises, though his name was on the programme. His mother and sisters were on their way to Exeter when he telegraphed them the news of his expulsion. Brice left Exeter six weeks ago for Cambridge, where he studied with a tutor to enable him to enter Harvard in the fall. During this period he spent his Sundays and holidays at Exeter, and his convivial habits on these occasions led to the expulsion.
