Labor organisations in the city arc ar
ranging to take action to urge the repre-
Bentatives from this county to aid rather
than oppose the Knight bill providing
for the protection of laborers in factories
and securing their wages. Several letters
have already been written to the senator

tion is to be taken at once.
Died , Sunday morning , at her home ,
fio.117 South First street , Mr.s. Hannah
A. Smith , wife of D. W. Smith , engineer
of the City Roller mills. She had a long
illiH'ss , and was aged 42 years. She had
resided in this city for nearly live years ,
having resided previously in MUuotiri
Valley. The body will be taken to Dun-
lap to-day to bo laid beside her father
and mother , this being her special re
quest.
At an early hour yesterday morning
there was a family row on Engle avonuo.
The most there was to bo seen by the out-
sfllo world was the form of the wife be
ing pushed out of doors by the iralo hus
band , who may bo called Smith , for lack
of another luuno. After Smith had pushed
the woman roughly out of doors , he is
then said to have grabbed her and
dragged her back into the house , and the
door closed on the scene. The screams
and sounds of a big row left the imagi
nation plenty of ground on which to
work.

r/ymim'H Suit.
A suit was started yesterday in the cir
cuit court which is somewhat of a sur
prise to many , and which indicates that
Congressman Lyman does not care
enough for being re-elected to use any
policy. Ho has commenced a suit against
the county treasurer to prevent the col
lection of special assessments made by
the city against his residence property on
First avenue , and certified up to the
county treasurer for collection. The ns-
Ecssmcnt against which Congressman
Lyman protests , and which ho refuses to
pay , are for the placing of curbing In
front of his resilience , grading and a now
sidewalk. Tim total amount which ho
thus proposes to light is about $75. The
reasons no assigns for refusing to pay are
that the citv has no legal right to make
such nsssessments , that no notice was
given him , that the 10 per cent interest
charged is Illegal , and that the sidewalk
was not laid according to the leqnire-
ments of the ordinance.

Cleaning Up.
The avowed nolioy of the new city administration -
ministration to have the streets cleaned
up inonilly as wellns otherwise seems not
to have been given out for mere bun-
combu The order that all saloons should
be closed on Sunday was pretty generally
observed , only two or three violations bo-
reported , and these ofl'ondcrs were
ye.storday Intcrviuwcd by the chief of po
lice to learn whether they understood the
order and whether they intended to obey
or not. The trouble seems to be that
such orders have been issued from limn
to times by the old administration until
tlio cry of "wolf" has ceased to have any
force. Somu of the saloon men say that
If It is evident that all are to be treated
alike and all made to close , they will
cheerfully comply , but If home am to bo
allowed to keep open then they want the
same privilege. It Is generally conceded
that this time nil are to hu treated alike ,
und Ihcro wijl bo no distinction made as
to fowl and lish. The saloon men had a
secret meeting yesterday , tlio result of
which is not known , but it is understood
that the chief theme of talk was the ques
tion of llcen.se.
Another feature of reform started by
tlio new administration is in regard to
prostitutes , who have been heretofore al
lowed to parade the streets rather boldly.
The chief of pollco has been notifying
them personally that horo.iftnr they will
not bo allowed to appear on the streets in
short drcsscdor In tiny dress which shall
serve nsjm advertisement of their busi
ness. When it is necessary for them to
be upon the streets they shall so array
themselves and so conduct themselves as
not to draw public attention to their
character and occupation. Other prac
tical .suggestions have been given them ,
with the assurance that if mov do not
heed the.se hints they will be treated in
a manner which will cause life to bo a
bunion. Some of the other proposed
changes in the street manners of the city
are to bu put into cllect as soon as pos
sible.

Troublesome Tramps.
Under the new order of things vagrants
are to bo made to either go to work for
themselves , leave the city , or go to work
on the streets. There were in jail over
Sunday twelve of this class who had been
sentenced to ton days each at labor.
Lest they should fall asleep ami rollout ?
of the city calabooso they were put into
the new revolving jail of the county.
hey proved to bo over-smart , in their
own opinions , and attempted to cause
Jailer OVNcil a good deal of trouble.
When ordered into their cells they were
in no hurry to comply , nnd when an
attempt was made to revolve the jail
they stopped its rotation. O'Noil had
invested m a good revolver of another
kind , and promised to show them how
it would revolve if the jail didn't. They
cnmo to time , and yesterday morning
they had bread nnd water for breakfast.
They wore then marched up to the city jail
and from there started out to work on the
streets with shovels in their hands nnd
chains on their legs. In the afternoon
seven of the twelve balked and declared
they would work no longer. They were
accommodated , but given to understand
that no work , no feed , except bread ami
water. This soit of diet will soon cause
them to change their minds about
working.

COUNCIL HUIFFS , March 22. [ To the
HKI : . ] Allow mo to make n few otato-
ments in your widely road paper to clear
up the cloud that is agitating labor by the
statements in the Nonpareil yesterday.
The Knight bill in the senate now will
not bo affected by a public meeting ,
which did not take place except in a pri
vate ollico , and on paper , and not at
tended by any number of Council Hind's
manufacturers , but only a few rent es
tate and tax title gentlemen , who are not
much concerned in labor. At the right
place it will not bo believed that Council
lilnlVs will stand out against most of the
mannfacturiiig eastern states , against
civilization , Christianity , morality nnd
common sense by opposing a bill for the
protection of labor. Council lilull's has
been made ridiculous enough with its
mayor's bills , gaming und scheming.
Labor would not tolerate such resolutions
to be carried ns were published. If this
is not believed , only lot the gentleman
try it once instead of publishing it.

in gathering'a collection that now com
prises between six and seven hundred
autographs , arranged in over seventy
well lilled and carefully clas iliod vol
umes , with letters enough to fill n do/en
volumes that have not yet boon ar
ranged.
On November 13th , 18.8 . , a timid little
note was sent to Theodore Thomas , ask
ing him for bis autograph. Had the note
remained unanswered It would forever

country's earlier historv.
A sharp and caustic letter characteris
tic of Aaron Burr is among the number.
To whom it is written cannot bo told , for
it is simply endorsed "A. B. to G. E. "
He writes :
"It will bo out of my power to receive
yon at 8 o'clock to-morrow morning , or
at any other hour to-morrow , it being a
day of extreme and oppressive occupa
tion. Whatever is thought or imagined
can bo written , tlio more especially by
one who has so great a command of the
English language as you have. Your ru-
fiwal 1 consider as mere obstinacy and
disobligingness.
John Qiimey Adams writes to thank a
thoughtful neighbor for a present of a
barrel of Hour , and in thu collection is an
alleetionate letter written by ( Jen. Grant
to Mr.s. Grant while the general was at
tending a .soldlei > ' reunion at Minnetoii-
ka Beach , Minn. , Sept , 28 , 188U. About
three months before ho was shot , in tlio
course of a general conversation with a
little family group at Gen. Garliold's
home at Mentor , the subject of changes
in signatures came up. "Hero are the
changes , " said the general , "I have made
from time to time , " and taking a slip of
paper , he showed his various signatuies
as a .school boy , state senator' member ol
congress aud president. The slip now
forms a partof Mrs. Moultou'.scollection.
There ar" several interesting relies of
the war , among them a prophetic letter
from Robert C. Greor , of Pennsylvania ,
one of the justices of the supreme court
of the United States , written December
2lh ! ) , 1805. to A. II. Smith , New York. In
it Judge Groor says :
"I begin to tear this will bo my last
quarter's salary from the United Slates.
Buchanan is wholly nnccinal to the oc
casion. Ho is surrounded by enemies of
the Union. The secretary ot war wished
to recall and censure the commander efFort
Fort Monltriu , but was fortunately
overruled in the cabinet. Black ,
Stanton and Holt , the honest mem
bers of the cabinet , will probably with
draw unless Floyd is dismissed. Poor
Toucey is nobody. * * * I .should not
bo surprised from what I hear privately ,
but reliably , if Floyd were arrested and
Buchanan impeached before si\ty days.
* * * Wo are.governed by fools and
knaves and have not a man lit for the oc
casion. "
Another souvenir of those dark days is
a yellow bit of paper so bespattered with
iiiK it can scarcely bo deciphered :
"GEN. SiiAUf : If the order to shoot the
two Mills has not been executed and they
will swear into the service of our country
you will not have them shot. Let Pho-
lan be executed.
THOMAS C. HINDJIAN ,
Major General Commanding. "
On the back of the paper is the terse
indorsement :
"Received a few minutes after the exe
cution. "J. A. S. "
To complete the annals of the war are
autographs from all the best known load
ers on both sides of the light Grant ,
Hancock , Sheridan , Sherman , Hooper ,
Logan , Custer , Farragut. Jackson , Lee ,
Toombs , Early , Mosby , Johnston , Long-

In the volumes devoted to the poet * are
letters from Longfellow , Holme * , Tenny
son , Whittier , Scott and others.
To a Massachusetts lady writing for
his autograph the author of "A Fool's
Errand" leaves her to guess his moaning
by writing in a bold and dashing scrawl ,
witli a signature a bank cashier might
envy :
"There are two kinds of fools.
"AlJUON W. TOUHGEK. "
"Bill Arp" feels called upon to give a
bit of advice to an applicant for his auto
graph , and writes :
"Let no man hanker after sudden
wealth. It would embarrass him. A big
pile of surplus money \yjll make a fool of
anybody on short acquaintance.
"CiiAuus : II. SMITH. "
( Bill Arp. )
"Dear Eli , " Mrs.Moulton wrote to that
genial liar of liars , Eli Perkins , "please
give me your autograph. " The answer
came :
"Mr DP.AU FI.OHA : I am tsorry to say I
cannot give you my autograph. 1 prom
ised my wife after marriage never to cor
respond witli any other girl. Of course.
I would be glad to give you my verbal
autograph , but I cannot send it to you in
a letter. You appreciate tJiQ trouble T
am in no doubt. Xours affectionately ,

( Melville I ) . Landon. )
Another from the same source , from its
intentional lack of punctuation , becomes
quite humorous :
"May a kind heaven always protect
you from your friend ELI PEHKINS. "
"Bob" Hnrdottu finds it hard to be
funny in answer to all requests for his
autograph , so ho scribbled.

CAUSED BY A CRIME.
Sixteen Years a AVumloror Iteturn
at liost to Die at Home.
An Evansville , Ind. , special of March
lUth says : There arrived in this city to
day a man who for fourteen years has
bcon wandering about thu country elud
ing otlitiors , who wore after a reward of
fl.,000offered , for his apprehension. He
was. in the last stages of consumption
and died fifteen minutes after his arrival
here , at the residence of a sister. The
man's name was Eugene B. Van Dcvicr ,
and Ills family is one.of the most promi
nent in Posey county * 'Ihoistory of Van
Devicr's lligni and wahdcrings is of n
sensational order. Your correspondent
obtained ths following storv to-night
from his aunt , Mrs. Filinghn.ni : In.ep . -
tcmbor , 1870 , during the progress of the
county fair at Now Harmony , a parly of
young men became involved in a dis
pute , all being more or less under the in-
iluonco of liquor , which \vas renewed at
a saloon in town late in the evening ,
when a general light ensued , knives aud
pistols being freely u cd. '
During the row four or five pi tel shots
were fired , young Van Dovier being one
of the men doing the shooting , and War
ren Pitts , who was engaged in the dis
turbance , received a ball in the lct
breast , dying almost instantly , while an
other man mined Diet/ was seriously
wounded , but eventually recovered. The
parties were arrested at the lime , but it
was impossible to convict on account of
the impossibility of procuring direct evi
dence.
About a year after this trial the grand
jury of Posoy again commenced investi
gating the matter , aijd before any in
dictment was returned , young ; Van Do
vier left the state. A true bill for murder
was .subsequently found against him , aud
a reward of Sl,000 offered forhiseapturo.
Several detectives followed him at vari
ous times , but ho was always warned
and succeeded in eluding them. Finally ,
pursuit was abandoned"and , the incident
well nigh forgotten. But Van Devlor
was uneasy. His conscience troubled
him , and ho walked all over the south ,
most of the time being spent at St. Fran-
cisvlllu , Ark. , where he went under the
name of Edward Geary. He kept up a
desultory correspondence with his rela
tives and : x few intimate associates , but
was never betrayed.
About a year ago a wound in the left
lung , which lie received in the fatal fair
ground light , began troubling him and
gradually developed into consumption.
Knowing his hours were numbered ho
longed to come back to the scenes ol his
boyhood , anil friends at St. Francisvillo
furniihed him moans by which he could
return and diu among his relatives and
friends. But his strength failed him anil
his dream of seeing his boyhood home
again was never realized.
In all his letters he never disclaimed
the shooting , but thought his shot took
effect in Diet/ , who recovered , but he
could not say positively , as several were
shooting at the same time. All parties
concerned in the light wcru highly con
nected , and witli the death of Van Dovier
all hopes will probably die of ever discov
ering who killed Pitts. Van Devier s re
mains will be taken to Po-tey county to
morrow.
