Chicago, June 23. The affairs of the Brick layers' Union are rapidly approaching a crisis. and to-morrow night's meeting is liable to be an exciting one. The German element has become disgusted with the management of the Mul traney-Miniter-Pearson clique, and will make a determined effort to unseat them from their present prominence in the union. At a recent meeting at Battery D, it was decided to send delegates to the Amalgamated Trades' Council, but this decision has been nullified by the officers of the union. As a consequence the other trades have become almost hostile to tbe bricklayers, and some are openly working to defeat them in the present strike. The hod-carriers, lathers, carpenters, plasterers, derrickmen, and steam-fitters are now working upon buildings with non-union brick-layers, and decline to strike at the request of the walking delegates of the Brick-layers' Union. Late yesterday afternoon nine pressed-brick masons called upon the executive committee of the master masons and announced their readiness to go to work. They told the committee that hundreds of the men were upon the ragged edge, and would leave the union before the end of the week. The cause of this wholesale desertion is found in the fact that the f nnds in the brick-layers' treasury are exhausted. President Yorkeller informed all applicants yesterday that tbere would be no money until Friday. Hun dreds of the men have never received a cent of assistance, and are charging that favoritism has been shown in the distribution of the money. The sidewalk in front of Greenbaum's building was crowded all day with an excited body of men, and the tenor of their remarks was not favorable to the leaders of the union. Late to-night at a meeting of the Brick-layers' Union, a resolution was passed withdrawing the demand for a Saturday pay-day, and declaring the strike off. This action was taken, it was declared, on account of the pressure that was brought to bear on the brick-layers by private citizens and business men who suffered heavy losses through the stoppage of work. The reso lution gives the material dealers an opportunity to begin selling again, as their agreement with master masons is binding only dnring a strike. The strike having been declared off. and the labor trouble here being thns resolved into a lockout, the brick-layers declare they will now prosecute the stone pool for conspiracy in case of a refusal to sell stone to contractors friendly to the brick-layers. An Unsatisfactory Wage Scale. Pittsburg, June 23. The sheet-iron manu facturers interested in the stamping and hollowware branch of tbe business held a meeting here to-day, to consider the new scale offered by tbe Amalgamated Association. It was decided that it would be impossible to concede the advance asked for, and the mills would close down rather than grant it One of the manufacturers said that the present scale should be lowered instead of increasing, owing to the stagnated condition of the business. The Plumbers' Convention. Chicago, June 23. The first thing done by the plumbers' national convention was the re ception of the report by the executive commit tee. This treated entirely of the Baltimore reso lutions that had been submitted to the conven tion. In substance, the resolutions were to the effect that all manufacturers of plumbers' goods who sold to consumers should be bovcotted by the plumbers. The committee argued that the adoption of the resolution was just the thing for plumbers. It would do away with the disagreeable habit of consumers who bought their pipe from tbe manufacturer and afterwards hired in experienced men to do their work. Mr. Weaver, of Philadelphia, proposed that the Canadian Association of Plumbers be asked to loin with the National Association and form a combined organization. Mr. Gabay, of New York, opposed this, and said it was the business of the National Association to take care of its plumbers at home. The proposition was not considered feasible, and consequently was dropped. The convention then elected officers for the the ensuing year, as follows: John Byrnes, of New lork, president; John Tramor, of Balti more, vice-president; Mortimer J. Lyons, of Brooklyn, treasurer; Enoch Remick, of Philadelphia, financial secretary; David J. Collins, of St Louis, sergeant-at-arms. It was decided to hold the next annual national convention ac Boston. The Sharp Trial. New York. June 23. Half-past 9 came this morning in the court of Oyer and Terminer, and with it came Judge Barrett, who was anticipated a few minutes by lawyer Parsons. Then came Jacob Sharp, a cheajrblue Japanese fan in his hand and his grandchildren at his side, and following was Capt 'Billy'' Ricketts, with his well-drilled squad of jurors, Mr. Foote, of tbe First National Bank, re sumed the stand to tell of the dealings with Alderman Farley in January, 1885. He said that this man came and asked the priee of United btates registered 4 per cent, bonds, which was told him. He wanted $10,000, which came to something over $12,000. with the premium. He paid for the bonds in bills of large denomination, taking them from his vest pocket A number of witnesses were put on the stand to prove that the alderman came into possession of thousand-dollar bills as soon as tbe Broadway bill was passed. The prosecution then tried to have the testimony of Sharp before the Senate investigating committee read, but the defense objected, and a long discussion ensued. At its conclusion Judge liarrett decided to ad mit the testimony. The assistant district attorney then read from the verbatim report at considerable length. Some further oral testimony was also taken, but nothing new was brought out Rumored Removal of a Big Industry. New York. June 23, The Commercial Ad vertiser says: "Negotiations are said to be going on in this city, looking to the removal of the works of tbe United States Rolling Stock Company from Urbana, O. , where they are now situated, to Decatur, Ala. The company is one of the largest ear-manufacturing concerns in the country. Major E. C. Gordon.of the Decatur Land Improvement and Furnace Company, is in New York, and it is understood that he is conducting the negotiations for tbe Alabama parties. He declines to discuss the matter just now. The company represented by Major Gordon has a capital of $1,000,000, all of which, except $50,000, was subscribed by southerners. it was or ganized last January, and already has twentythree mills and factories in operation or in process of construction." . Slain by a Crazed Saloon-Keeper. St. Louis. June 23. W. T. Grigsby, propri etor of the Unique sample-rooms, became suddenly insane last night from brooding over financial troubles. He stood leaning on his safe before a crowd of friends, toying with a 45calibre revolver, making elaborate preparations for suicide, and keeping the crowd at bay with the weapon, threatening to kill anyone who approached. D. B. Kennady, his best friend. came into tbe saloon at the time, and, running toward Urigsby, sail: lie shan t be allowed to kill himself, poor fellow; I will save him." Not heeding the command to halt, Kennedy pressed on and wan shot through the heart Tbe maniac realized what he bad done, and sank to the floor helpless, moaning, ''lbe callow: tbe gallows! 1 am croing to the gallows!" He is now a raving maniac

STATE SUXDA1SCH00L UXI0X.

Closing Sessions of the Annual Meeting; List of Officers Chosen for Next Year. Special to tbe lodIanaoIi Journal. Columbus, June 23. At the night sesion of the Sunday-school convention, yesterday. Rev. J. E. Gilbert, D. D., of Indianapolis, delivered a most interesting and instructive lecture on "Our Young Men." He sDoke of them in their relations as political, moral, religious and edu cational factors of tbe State. From tbe census and other statistics he computed the number of young men in the State between fifteen and twenty-five years of age at 250,000. Seventy per cent of , this number attended the Sunday-school between five and ten years of aee. Where are thev now! Not more than 22,000 are members of any church; not to exceed 38,000 and not over 40,000 attend church. The record of all tbe colleges and high-schools shows that not to exceed 1,300 are trying to obtain more than a common school education, whue 10,000 are entirely illiterate. The church, through the Sunday-school, once had control of 175,000 of the 250,000 at the toost impressible age, yet all but 2.2,000 have escaped. This is a terrible failure, and what is the reason? In tbe opinion of the speaker it is largely due to the failure to keep a proper ideal before the minds of the boys. Our teaching is merely sentimental or intellectual. The boy needs to have it kept constantly before bis mind that be is to live tor a noble pur pose, that must be a benefit to the world, that tbere is a grave and noble future before him if he will strive for it, and then the work of the Sunday-school will not be lost upon him in after years. The convention met at 9 o'clock this morning, and, after devotional exercises, considerable time was taken up in reading the reports of district work. A few districts showed a falling off, but the average showing was much better than that of last year. President Kiracofe, of Hartsville College, then read a paper on "Lesson Helps and How to Use Them," wbich elicited a lively discussion. The general expression was that it is well to use the leaves in preparing the lesson, but only the Bible should be used in recitation. In the afternoon Mrs. Maley W. Crist, of Lawrenceburg, read a paper, "Influences from the Primary Department," which contained many excellent thoughta, and waa highly complimented. The committee on resolutions submitted a report thanking the citizens for courtesies extended and all who have aided in making the convention a success. Tbe committee on nominations reported the following list of officers for the ensuing year, wbich the convention adopted unanimously: President. Josiah Morris, Leatherwood; vicepresident, Rev. J. A Rondthaler, Indianapolis; secretary; Chas. H. Conner, New Albany: treasurer, Chas. D. Meigs, jr., Indianapolis; statistician, Jasper Finney. Also a president for each of tbe twenty-four districts into which the State Is divided. Rushville was selected as the place of meeting next year, and the last week in June as the time. The real work of the convention closed by a blackboard lecture, "The Old Testament Become the New," by the president. This was considered by many as tbe most interesting and instructive exercise of the session, and showed that tbe veteran president well deserves the popularity and reputation he enjoys among Sunday-school workers. The session was not so largely attended as some in tbe past, but it was the general expression that none bad been more interesting or beneficial. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. The farm of the late Henry Ward Beecher has been purchased by General Thomas, the president of tbe East Tennessee railroad. Mr. Thomas will maintain it as a country residence.

The members of the National Opera Company met yesterday at the Academy of Music, New York. Much dissatisfaction was expressed at the financial arrangements. F. R.

He promised that the salaries would be paid in full at the earliest possible moment Manager Locke told the members that all would be well if they would have patience until next Thursday. The Inharmonious Labor Party. New York, June 23. It appears that all is not harmony just at present in the ranks of tbe United Labor party, as far as the Socialists are concerned. They think the platform contains too much Georgeiam, and at the convention of the United Labor party, to be held in Syracuse, Aug. 17, efforts will be made to have a number of planks inserted wbich will be prepared by the Socialistic Labor party.

So Says .Tubal A. Early In a Reply to the General's Recently Expressed Opinions. Richmond (Va.) Special. Gen. Jubal A. Early is out in the State in a card, in reply to Gen. Thomas L. Rosser's card, iu which Rosser said Early should have been hanged for burning Chambersburg. General Early says: "Rosser has heretofore shown" his utter disre gard for the truth in some publications he has made in regard to some of the operations of the Army of Northern Virginia, and especially those of my command, in the valley in 1864, and I have fully demonstrated the falsity of many of his statements. Having previously fig nred extensively as a falsifier of bis tory, he has recently appeared in another role that of a consummate ass and it must be confessed that he has proved himself an adept in that character. . As to his expressed opinion in regard to my conduct in having Chambers burg burned, gentlemen can determine how much weight is to be eiven to that opinion when they read an extract from a letter written by him to a gentleman in Canada in 1868, which I will give. The letter quoted reads thus: "Baltimore, Md.. Jan. 25, 1S68. "To Col. Georee T. Denison: "Colonel Inclosed you will find a few thoughts on the subject of your inquiry of the 18th inst. I am pleased to aerve you and my noble friend. General X 1 .. " r A. 1 FTnyM. . n T T I "Major-general C. S. A." General Early goes on to say: "I was shown the original letter, and from the closing sentences in it, as compared with Rosser's recent utterances, a discerning public can estimate how much importance should be attached to any opinion of his on any subject He now thinks his 'noble friend' ought to have been hung for the burning of Chambersburg. Really, wbat Rosser thinks or says in regard to myself disturbs me very little. What actually distresses me is to see one who occupied the position of a general officer in the confederate army fall as low as he has fallen. It seems that a residence of several years in the Northwest and the accumulation of considerable property there by means best known to himself have had the effect of convincing him that the South was all wrong in the struggle she made for independence and self-government, and that it was fortunate that his mighty efforts for four years in her cause failed of success to those true and faithful confederates who, like myself, feel mortified when one of our former comrades becomes a renesade to the cause we fought for. have this consolation to offer: We do not stand alone in having apostates from our ranks. We learn that even one of the brightest of the archangels, the 'Son of the Morning,' who stood around the throne of the Almiehty. rebelled against his Creator, and carried off a number of the angels into the rebellion. And one of the chosen apostles of tbe Savior of mankind betrayed his Master with a kiss for thirty pieces of silver. This much, however, is to be said in behalf of Judas Iscariot: When he became aware of the effect of his treachery he had tbe grace to cast from him the thirty pieces of silver, the price of his treachery, and go and hang himself. If some of our renegades would go and do likewise, we might regard the act as some atonement for their apostacy, and the most creditable act they could now perform.- I have heard it suggested that Rosser is aspiring to be the member of Congress from which some lower valley counties constitute the greater part, and that his recent letter about the rumored inten tion of Sheridan to ride up the valley was in tended to aid his aspirations in that respect. THE LATE PANIEL PRATT. Something Abont the Wanderings To and Fro of the "Great American Traveler." Boston Special. A figure familiar for more than half a century on tbe streets of tho great American cities, and on the campus of many a college; seen occasionally in the backwoods of Maine, and at remote Western military points, has disappeared with the death of Daniel Pratt, the "Great American Traveler," as he was fond of styling himself. He died at the City Hospital, where he was taken on Friday last, after sustaining a shock of paraly sis, trom wbicn be railed to rally. 15 at uttie is known of the early life of Daniel Pratt, fur ther than that he was born in Frattville, a district of Chelsea, about the year 1809. The Pratt family came from good Revolutionary ancestry. All sorts of theories have been advanced as to the supposed cause of the mental aberration that made Daniel Pratt a wanderer on the face of the earth, and stories of crushing grief, love dis appointment and sickness have been told from time to time. 1 he truth seems to be that in the first place Daniel was too lazy to work for a living, and when he first left tbe banks of the Mystic, about sixty years aeo, he was perfectly sane. but somewhat inclined to light-headed flights of fancv. He was a carpenter, but one who did little work of any kind. He disappeared and was not again seen in this vicinity for twelve years, when he reappeared, returning from a journey which, according to his story, comprehended the greater part of the settled United States. By that time his insanity manifested itself in the form which it ever afterward maintained, a belief that he had been elected President of the United States and was kept out of his office by a combination of unscrupulous rivals. For fifty years be lived on the charity of those who found amuse ment in the spectacle of a distorted mind. The General for the great American trav eler" was very tenacious of this military title, which he took at a time when there were more "generals" than soldiers at every military muster claimed to have traveled fully 200,000 miles, to have been in twenty-seven States and among sixteen tribes of Indians, and to have vis ited' Washington nineteen times, to have seen vo Presidents inaugurated, "and got back alive." Certain it is that "General" Pratt had been a visitor to many of the military posts in Dakota, and had invaded New Brunswick. His special favorites were colleee students. whom he declared he had found "the most liberal young men in America." For many years, Daniel has made the tour of the New England colleges once each year, and in every city or town visited where a newspaper was published, he never failed to call upon the editors and printers, often with a huge manuscript poem or essay that he desired to see in type. He always managed to scruo along on contributions gleaned on his travels, and appeared to enjoy reasonably good heal t 'a and spirits. One of his idoiosyncrasies was that the Boston Lan cers could at any time put down the war, and the fact that this organization of parlor knights never went to the front was his chief grievance in war times. Where he slent no one ever knew, but in the winter of 1855 he was sent to Rainsford island at his own request and passed the cold months pleasantly and happily. A hew Business for Women. Sew York Graphic. "Have you anything for me to-day?" said a bright-eyed young lady to tbe genial clerk at the St. James one morning last week. "Yes, miss. auite an amount," was the answer, and the little lady went to the cashier's office, there was the clink of coin, a laughing discussion, and the ladr hurried away. "What is it?" said a Graphic representative to the hotel man. "Only another evidence," said he, "of how many ways there are to make money in tbis city, and now easily a smart woman or mm may make a good living if he or she just succeeds in catching on. Now there is a bright little woman wbo makes tbe round of all the principal hotels in New York every morning, and her profits, judgine from our own house, must averagofiveorten dollars per day. She buys foreign money Canadian, English. French, German, any kind and the hotel clerks keep all they get for her. A stranger comes here from abroad, he doesn't care to go down town to a brokers office, and so he applies to the hotel clerk and gets American greenbacks for his foreign com or bills. Tbe price paid is always somewnat less tban tbe full market value, yet not sufficiently below the quoted price to make it an object for tbe traveler to take a journey down town. The next morning, rain or shine, the little lady you have just seen trips into the office, the money is turned over to her at the price we gave for it. she pays back our greenbacks and hurries away thankful and smiling. She is an apt business woman, has made plenty of money since she began two years ago, and takes care to keep all of us hotel clerks just half in love with her, so that her trade in foreign money may go on increas ing." William Becoming Demoralized. London Correspondence Philadelphia Record. Buffalo Bill is doing unusually well, both as a showman and as an individual. Since the Queen visited him he and his show are fashionable. Where royalty puts its foot a multitude comes to worship. It was a bonanza to tbe corporation or syndicate which set afoot that enterprise when the curiosity or Ueatnce persuaded Victoria there. On a recent bank holiday 100,000 of her Majesty's subjects went to sea that exposition of American frontier life. As to Bill himself, they say that this Capua is drawing too heavilr on the ohvsicai resources bunt up auring a lifetime passed in the healthy occupation of a scout Tbe last distinguished American visitor here before Buffalo Bill came was Oliver Wendell Holmes and while his "Hundred Days," now running in the Atlantic Monthly, disclose an embarrassing hospitality in tbe receipt of so many letters of invitation that be had to employ a secretary to answer them. Bill

can outbid him by the hundreds, and if in the former case one clerk was needed in the latter three would scarce suffice. But the major part of the showman's correspondence is too sacred for submission to any eyes but his own. Invitations to dinners and teas one can give publicity to; not so those tender letters, or poulets, as the French call them, in which a woman's passion madly burns The Hon. Mr. Cody's stalwart form, his dashing horsemanship, bis precision in shooting and the dangers he has passed, told of under so many yellow covers, have drawn around him more pitying, delighted Desdemonas than Solomon imprisoned in his harem. Verily, the demoralization is doing its work. Bill, in his shooting performance, makes many misses.

HE GOT THE TICKET. A Railway. Clerk Obtains Valuable Legal Information from Justice Field. San Francisco Special. A rather spare old gentleman, with thin, grayish whiskers, and wearing a pair of highlypoiisbed spectacles, leaned over tbe counter in the Oresron Railway and Navigation Company's ticket-office yesterday, and asked for a roundtrip ticket to Portland, Ore. "Thirty dollars." promptly responded the clerk. The passenger laid the gold on the counter, and the clerk pulled a ticket out of the case and handed it toward him with a well-inked pen. "What is that for?;' asked the passenger, with a touch of contempt in bis tone, and glancing toward the clerk. "Sign there, please," said the clerk. "I beg your pardon," was the response of the passenger. "Sign the ticket, please." "No, sir, I decline. There is no law in the United States compelling me to sign steamer or railroad tickets. There is your money give me the ticket." Somewhat ruffled, the agent looked at the pas senger and then at the ticket but did not touch the money. "What is your name, sir?" he asked at length. "Stephen J. Field," was the reply. Then it dawued upon the rather dazed mind of the young man behind the counter that he was talking to one of the justices of the Supreme Court of tbe United States. He quietly stamped the unsigned ticket, handed it to tbe passenger with a subdued air, and then sat down to reflect. Army of the Potomac Saratoga, N. Y., June 23.

"Here's a red -headed girl and there's a white horse," remarked a well-known sporting man who was walking down Chestnut street with a reporter. "What do you mean?" he was asked. "Didn't you ever hear that before? Every time you meet a red-headed girl you will see a white horse." Half a block further another red-headed girl was met "Where's your white horse now?" asked the reporter. "There's one turning tbe next corner," he replied, and, sure enough, around tbe corner came a white horse drawing a dray. "They never fail, I tell you. I have been saying, 'Here's a red-headed girl and there's a white horse.' for fifteen years. I've never got left yet"' After parting the reporter met one more redheaded girl, and looking for the white horse, was not surprised to see a car pass drawn by two of them. The Way Southern Girls Chew Guim Macon Telesraph. The Macon girl chews gum and gives brief ex hibitions of the pink end of her dainty tongue. The member is worn in the shape of a French roll while she masticates the unresisting but indestructible quid, and as she labors thus concentric semi-circles inclose her mouth like brackets around an interpolation, and she is for the time being voiceless, for the "gulick, gulick, gulick" that is borne to the ear is not a voice note, but merely suction, caused by the teeth entering and leaving the chewing-gum. Anybody who has beard a cow walk through a mud-hole will understand the sound attempted in the description. It is said that the Macon girl, before she took to gum, was the sweetest little creature in the world,' and no one ever thought enough abont her tongue after catching sight of her lips and eyes to notice what she did with it.

Fond mother to visiting friend Yes, every one seems to think he looks like bis papa; now do you, Mr. Fitzgibbon? Fitzgibbon (consolingly) Well, yes; but, indeed, I wouldn't allow that to annoy me, if I were you, considering he is sound in every other respect. Steamship News. Queenstown, June 23.
