YORK , Neb. , Aug. 11. ( Special Telegram
to The Bee. ) The York county republicans
held their county convention this afternoon.
F. C. Power was elected chairman and J.
B. Hart secretary. Dr. J. B. Conaway was
nominated for the legislature on ( lie second
ballot. The other place on the ticket was
hotly contested for between the Keckley and
ontl-Kcckley factions , resulting In the se
lection of William McFadden. lion. N. V.
Harlan was rcnomlnatcd for county attorney
by acclamation. County Superintendent H.
R. Corbctt , candidate for state superintend
ent , was called before the convention and
made an Interesting speech. By unanimous
vote he was authorized to select the delegates
to the state convention. At his request they
were selected In his Interest from the various
townships and wards and are :
II. F. Willis , M. N. Myrlck , J. S. Majors ,
B. D. Marselus , George G. France , G. W.
Coons. A. Schneider , A. B. Christian , O.
W. Shreck. C. A. McCloud , C. H. Post , E.
D. Smith. M. C. Frank , W. L. White. Wil
liam Meredith , C. B. Palmer , W. B. Bonen ,
II. Campbell , R. Armstrong , T. E. Sedg-
wlck.

will name the chairman and alternates later.
The congressional delegates are for Ilalner ,
whllo the senatorial will glvo way to Fillmore -
more county. Peace anil harmony prevailed
nnd York county can be depended upon for
a good republican majority this fall.
One of the hardest fights ever made for
representative In this county was that by
Charles R. Keckley. Keckley , who has served
three terms In the legislature , announced
himself ns candidate for re-election , and was
at once opposed by the republican press of
the county on the ground that ho was not a
good republican. Mr. Keckley was the chair
man of the delegation from this county last
fall which was Instructed and voted for
Judge Maxwell for supreme Judge. Mr. Keck
ley was scarcely disappointed at Judge Max
well's defeat and refused to support Judge
Harrison , but voted for S. A. Holcomb and
does not hesitate to say so. For this reason
the members of his party organization have
fought him.
It will be remembered also that Mr.
K'ckley conducted the Investigation against
the state house gang two years
ago , and that element has not been
wanting , In out of the county , to oppose
him. Keckley made a personal canvass by
holding meetings over the county , defending
the position ho had taken , and asked his
party to rcnomlnate him. The primaries in
the city yesterday' showed two-thirds of
the delegates to be against him. It was sup
posed the country would overcome this , but
a canvass of the delegations this morning
showed about half of them against him on
the start.

"I know an old gentleman down In Ken
tucky , " said Colonel Gilbert Stokes of the
blue grass state to the Washington Post ,
"who had ono dominant passion In life , and
that was to play against a faro bank. He
had a modest Income of his own and several
sons who were well fixed.
"All his own money and all he could get
fr"m his boys was wasted at the faro table.
Ho was ono of those men who had rather
gamble and lose than not to gamble at all ,
nnd hence he thought of nothing but 'fight
ing the tiger1 from day's end to day's end.
He was not a lucky player , cither , and was
almost constantly In want of a stake.
"Finally the old colonel's sons grew
weary of furnishing their father with cash
for gaming purposes , and they entered Into
n scheme to stop the financial leak , but at
the same time leaving the old man nt lib
erty to play the bank as much as he liked.
"What did these boys do but hire a sport
ing chap to fit up a place where It was n
dead certainty their governor would come to
Indulge. They paid the fellow a good
Bilary to run a faro game for his especial
benefit , and of course all the money he lost
was refunded to his boys ,
"I don't know Just how long this Innocent
deception was kept up , but It was for a good
many months , and the old colonel never
caught on to the conspiracy. "

combine at the polls they could elect gov
ernor and congressmen , senators and all other
ofllcers , and he could see no reason for the
great , plain , working people of Omaha keep
ing separated on party lines. In these senti

Qtilnn was called for and talked a few min

right labor's wrongs.
August Ueerman of Tailors union No. 92

men should vote together and stand together
for whatever was right.

190 responded to a call for a short talk and
pleased the audience with some clear Illus

strongly favored the laboring men voting
together to settle labor troubles.

RESOLUTIONS DISCUSSED.
A resolution passed unanimously favoring
the patronizing of union barber shops and
all other Institutions. A resolution to alllll-
ate with the people's party was voted down ,
the delegates believing that they should sup
port any men who would represent their
principles. Some wanted a delegate labor
convention before the political party conven
tions and others wanted the convention after
the party conventions.
Resolutions after resolutions were Intro
duced and voted up and down. Finally , as
a compromise measure , the following resolu
tions were ordered referred to the various
unions and assemblies * for consideration , and
the conference adjourned , to meet In two
weeks at the tame .pUco , In the meantime
the organizations will hold meetings and In

KREAKS OF ELECTRICITY.
A Ilultltnora Tailor Treated to n Lively
Experience ,
Mysterious electrical disturbances , have
terrorized Henry KontBchosky , a tailor , and
his workmen and family , at their homo on
Bond street , Baltimore. Suddenly Saturday
morning last the three-story building shook
as from an explosion. The tailor and his ton
helpers fled In fright to the street. No one
outsldo had felt the shock. The disturbance
was followed by flro In the floor and wash
boards of the shop. The flro was quickly
extinguished and the men returned to work.
Later the water pipes were found leaking.
A plumber , upon examining them , discovered
thut the solder had melted where the house
pipe joined the main pipe In the street.
Next morning the house again shook. A
workman Bitting with his back against a
gas pipe received a severe shock. The water
spout down the front of the house fell to the
ground In pieces , the solder having melted
from the joints. The washboards anil door
of the house again took lire. Blue flames
shot through the crevices In the cellar wall.
The whole place was heavily charged with
electricity. A crowd collected In front of the
houee. The tailor , his workmen and family
would not icturn Indoors. Several electricians
began an Investigation. Electrical cars pass
the door and electric light wires cross the
roof. There Is no break , however. In thu

puzzled by the phenomena ,

CHICAGO'S FEMALE SHAVERS
Women lltrlier * Who Hot * Their Own
SllOp4 Mild tO ) MS llll ltll" < .
Near the corner of Thirty-first street and
Cottage Grove avenue , Chicago , ere two bar
ber shops owned and operated by women.
They are unlike most barber shops , be
cause they are as tidy as parsonage par
lors. No pink colored sporting papers arc
thrown about the place. In the windows ore
potted plants.
The customer who wishes to be shaved
may lie b.ick In the upholstered chair with
the assurance that ho will not bo compelled
to discuss the causes and effects of the labor
troubles.
The woman barber Is not new to Chi
cago. She has been here long enough to
be acclimated , and the most bashful young
men In the Thirty-first street neighborhood
now enter the places without a tremor. It
was not always so.
"When I llrst opcird n shop about ten
years ago , " said one of the proprietors to
the Chicago Record man , "I wns regarded
as a curiosity. Customers were almost
afraid to come In the place because of the
crowd hanging around t\\i \ \ front. I have
seen fifty people blocking the sidewalk to
sec mo shave a man , nnd sometimes I had
to get the policeman to move them away. Of
course It was vrry awkward for ths gentle
man In the chair , and for a while my cus
tomers were few , and a great many came out
of Idle curiosity. That Is all changed now.
The women shops have nil established fcat-
ronag ? , and I have reason to believe that
we are busier than the men barbers In this
neighborhood. "
Then she told the story of a stranger
who had happened along a few days before.
Ho came ambling along Cottage Grove ave
nue , looking at the buildings , nnd when he
saw the red , white and blue sign he went
straight for the scrrcn door.
As ho came In the door the two women
stepped briskly to the chairs nnd stood
waiting. He took off his hat and was about
to Imng It on a hook when he saw them.
Then he paused nnd began to look about
him.
him."Barber's
"Barber's out , eh ? "
"No , sir ; we're both here. "
"Go on , you alnt the barbers ? "
"Certainly we are ; step Into either chair ,
please. "
He edged back a step or two and gazed
at them as If In dcubt of his senses.
"Er-women barbers ? "
"Yes , sir ; don't you think we can shave
as well as any one else ? "
"I never see any before. "
"Indeed ? "
"Tho only woman that ever harbored me
was my mother , and she used to cut my
hair with the family shears until I had stair
steps all up the back of my head. "
"What did you wish ? "
"I don't believe I care to have anything
done today. I just dropped In. Besides ,
I'd rather have a man do It. I'm used to
men. Gocdby. "
Once he was at the screen door he es
caped on a run.
"And you consider It a proper occupation
for women ? "
"Certainly I do or I should not have
learned the trade. The great majority of our
customers are gentlemen , and the few who
attempt to be familiar are cheap young men
easily 'squelched' by any woman of experi
ence. I never could see that there was any
humiliation In shaving and shampooing men
for a consideration. Most women who arc
self-supporting work harder than we do and
do not get as much pay. Tills is a line of
work In which women can compote success
fully with men and excuse me. "
A man with gray side-whiskers came In
the front door and made a profound bow.
The head barber received his hat and con
ducted him to the front chair , Into which he
fell. She tucked a clean bib under his neck
and tipped him back.
"Kind o' warm , " said he.
"It Is so , " she said.
Then she lathered him with as much dex
terity as If she were Icing a cake , and he lay
there with his eyes closed and an expression
of content on his soapy face.
"Come back again , " she said to the disap
pearing visitor. "And next time don't stop
at a man shop around the corner and get
shaved before you come to sco me. Don't
think that I'd Insist on shaving you simply
because you needed It. "
ORGANIZED LABOR IN BRITAIN.
Over Olio Million of Member * Their In
come * and Kxpciidltiire.s.
One of the leading features of the Labour
Gazette of London for May is a brief sum
mary of the statistics of trade unions for
the year 1892 , given pending the Issue of
fuller details In the report of the chief labor
correspondent , now In the press. The re
ports of 599 separate unions have been dealt
with , 482 of which are registered and 117
not registered , whllo 105 have branches num
bering in all 7,308 , making up an aggregate
of 1,237,367 members. The total Income of
all these societies dealt with was about
$8,900,000 , and the expenditures about $75-
000 less ; 298 societies , with a membership
of 715,648 , paid unemployed benefit to the
amount of nearly $2,000,000 ; 308 societies ,
with 1,103,611 members , paid In dispute ben
efit $2,300,000 ; 193 unions , with 585,389 mem
bers , paid In sick allowances over $1,000,000 ,
and 88 unions paid as accident benefit to
disabled members. $89,000.
For the purpose of comparing 1892 with the
previous year only 381 unions are available ,
that being the number supplying returns for
both years. The Increase of membership In
these 381 unions during 1892 was 32,161 , or n
UUlo over 3 per cent upon the membership
of 1891. The total Income of the 381 societies
showed , however , an Increase of 21.8 per cent.
There was also a very considerable rise In
expenditure , amounting , In fact , to nearly 44
per cent upon the outlay of 1891. The chief
share of this Increase was duo to heavy de
mands upon the unemployed and dispute
benefits , which In 1892 absorbed $1,900.000
more than In 1891 ,
Particulars are also given with regard to
co-operative farming In England and Scot
land In 1893 und 1892. Forty-seven societies
have made returns , showing that a total of
4 692 acres was being farmed In 1893 , an In
crease of 1214 over 1892. The capital em
ployed In 1893 was $150,000 , an Increase of
$29,000 over 1892 ; and the not loss sustained
amounted to $2,190 , as compared with $3,410
In 1892.

Tha stories told of the fabulous sums
made by writers of advertisements have
started lots of novices In the business , es
pecially women , says Printers' Ink. Their
maiden efforts are apt to bo In the line of
verso , and make pretty painful reading for
the advertising managers of the moro racily
advertised articles , who ore supposed to bo
In dlro need of that sort of stuff.
Usually the results are disappointing to
the author , but It 1ms been reserved to a
Buffalo paper to discover a case where the
reward was prompt and ample.
A woman made the rounds of the largo
stores only to find that they were well sup
piled with people to look after that part
of their business. At last she found one
house which was willing to let her try her
hand and she began work.
In less than a year she was comfortably
off for the rest of her life !
Thu explanation of this IH not that her
advertisements were a great success , but
thut thu senior partner fell In love with her
and married her ! But I am afraid that
the circulation of ths story will add to
rather than detract the craze.

WASHINGTON , Aug. It. The assemblage
of Industrials who have been camping at
Rosslynn were driven from the soil of Vir
ginia shortly nftsr daylight th.s morning ;
by the mllltla of the state. The raid was ,
made without the least resistance from the
"armies. " The huts which had been erected
from boughs of trees , straw , hay and other
materials which could be secured are but
remnants of their former appearance. After
their occupants had been forced from them
the torch was applied , and every vestige
that the flames could destroy was burned.
At S o'clock this morning I ho men were
lined along the walks of the aqueduct
bridge which joins the outskirts of Wash
ington with the state of Virginia , watching
their only property go up in smoke. They
had been forced iip.n the bridge , but them
the authority of the mllltla ended , and tht
Industrials know It. They feared to enter
the 1).strict of Columbia , as they believed
crrcsts as vagrants awaited them , and thera
they are waiting , like Mleawber , for some
thing to turn up. Their fears , however ,
were groundless , for but a single policeman
guarded the Washington cud of the bridge ,
and ho had no Intention of molesting them ,
as was evidenced by the fact that several
tookj their chances and entered the city lim
its.
Many complaints hav poured In upon
Governor O'Ferr.ill within the past week or
ten days of the growing nuisance at Hoss-
lynn , for which there appeared to bo no
remedy but n complete routing of the Com-
monwealers by the military.
After mature deliberation and consultation
Governor O'Ferrall decided toact. . The
strictest secrecy was observed , In order to
keep the Washington authorities In Ignor
ance of what was going on. The governor
detailed three companies of the First Vir
ginia regiment at Itlchniuiid and the Alex
andria Light Infantry , under command ot
Adjutant General Anderson. The mllltla
men were equipped for Held service with
twenty rounds ot ammunition each. The
troops started at m dnlght nnd reached Iloss-
lynn at 3 a. m. , where they camped , await
ing daybreak before the raid should 1)0 mado.
The Industrials were not unaware of the
coming o' the mllltla , for shortly bcforo
midnight the word was passed around that
they were to be routed from their camp.
Soon all became bustle and excitement. Sev
eral additional camp tires were lighted and
torches were carried from tent to tent. The
entire camp seemed to be a tool from the
tlmo the scouts were sent among the men.
Just at dawn the military appeared and
marched to the Aqueduct bridge. From
that point a line of skirmishers were drawn
around the entire camp and the Industrials
were hemmed In on all sides , their only exit
being the aqueduct bridge to Washington.
Strict orders were given to allow no man
to pass back Into Virginia.
General Anderson and his officers then
went to the leaders of the Industrials and
told them In plain but courteous and kindly
language that they must leave the station.
One hour was allowed for breakfast nnd
gathering up what little effects each might
desire to take away. All of them except
ono contingent offered to go without a word
of protest , but the California men said they
wished a show ot force before they stirred.
Promptly at 6 o'clock n company of the
militiamen was marched down the steep
slope to the banks of the river , where the
Wealers had made the'r homes. General
Anderson said : "Here Is our show of force ;
now you must go. "
Not a murmur or grumble was heard. The
men packed up their little belongings and
marched from their hurriedly constructed
tents up the bank and on to the aqueduct
bridge. After the camp had been routed
and all the picket line drawn In a company
was sent back to the flats upon which the
men were encamped , und In a few minutes
the flames were destroying everything that
had been left behind.
It Is said that there were between 300
and 400 men In camp when the raid oc
curred. Three , men were too sick to bo
forced and were allowed to remain In camp ,
end General Anderson sent the surgeon of
the military to glvo them medical assist
ance. They will be removed to a hospital
today. General Anderson says lie does not
know how long the troops will bo stationed
at the Virginia end of the bridge , but will
communicate what ho has done to Governor
O'Ferrall and await his further Instructions.
Soon after coming down to his office Major
Moore , the superintendent of police , went to
the office of the district commissioners anil
had a conference with them with a view ot
devising means of getting the Commonwealcrs
out ot the district. It was decided that the
police should take charge of the Industrials
and escort them to some sul'able place , most
likely Georgetown , until arranucinents can
bo made for shipping them to the west.
This , It Is believed , can ha accomplished
In two or three days , ns the commissioners
have some funds at their disposal , and will
receive some assistance from citizens who
wish to rid Washington of the armies of
unemployed. Meantime the men will bo
kept under surveillance by the police.
The district authorities ara not a llttlo
vexed at the summary action of Governor
O'Ferrall In forcing the Industrials from
Virginia soil. During the past few days sat
isfactory progress In having the men re
turned to the west has been made , moro
than 100 having been furnished transporta
tion In that direction ,
Pending a decision as to where to tem
porarily corral them , the unemployed re
main on the aqueduct bridge , uncertain of
what 'will be their next experience.
