State Chairman Taggart yesterday gathered bis committee about him, and proceeded to business incident to the close of the campaign. When the committee went into executive session there was some work of roatine nature, and then a number . of resolutions were adopted. One was expressive of the gratitude of the committee and the party to Hon. 8i Kbeerin. secretary of the national committee, for his work in securing financial assistance and other forms of aid for the Indiana Democracy. This eame out of a full heart. lhe &5000 corruption fund brought West by Mr. bheerin being in mind. Another resolution was presented, bank ing Governor Gray for his ardent and effective work in the campaign. This wae introduced by James Murdock or Captain Allen, and was meant as a 'thrust and a "defi" to Hon. J. G. Shanklin, who called Gray a "renegade Kepublican." The effect ot the pur,ch-bowl love-feast was still felt; eo the DO per cent, fellows, like Sam Moras, mutely held silence and let the resolution pass without opposition. John Remarkable Wilson, as the late Colonel Kico used to call him. was not present, but at any rate there are too majiy bees a buzzing in his hat to make him longer contentions. Capt. Allen took especial delight in this resolution, and rather nrides himself on being even with Shanklin. Another resolution committed the party organization to push the proseeution of all violators of the electi6n law, who may be indicted. This, of course, is on the principle that one ought to assume virtue, if one has it not. The committee having just handled successfully a lirger corruption fund than it ever had belore. resolved to prosecute Republicans suspected of practicing Democratic methods. The subject of the desecration of soldiers' graves by White-can. copperheads was not mentioned in the committee. it was ordered that the committee's' headsuarters should be kept open, and Joseph Ueilley was continued in charge. 'Ibis done, the committee adjourned, to meet again at the call of the chairman. Mr. Tagcart then invited all present and the "State officials to beoome his guests at the Grand Hotel. . The banquet was spread in Rooms 14 and 15. where Mr. Taggart kept himself during the campaign. Itisadonble room, and was made attractive by copious floods of electrio incandescence and by fetoons of red. white and blue ribbons in tertwined with emilax. The. table was profusely bnttastefully garlanded with Marechal Niels, Jacks and chrysanthemums, hiding their long stems in a ridge of ami lax leaves running lengthwise of the table. Mnsio added to the enjoyment of the feast. There were thirty persons at the -table, including Governor Gray, the committee aud the State officials. There were no post-prandial speeches, and after three hours at the table the guests arose and shortly separated. , TAKEN 11Y SCRFRISE. Chairman Taegart, Secretary RelUey and . Judge Jordan Given Itandtome Fresent. The Democratic State central committee was called together, yesterday, in order to wind up the allairs of the campaign. When it came time to settle down to business, J. O. Henderson, Auditor of Stato, took the reins of control and rapped the members to order, in the committee-room at the State headquarters. A huge and heavy silver punch-bowl set. including nine pieces, was brought in and placed UDon the table. Chairman Taggart was looking on, in wonderment, nntil the beautiful setcaught his eye, and then he realized that tomething out of the ordinary bad warranted the usurpation of authority by Mr. Henderson. Jerome Ilnrft. of, Fern, here abtained the fioor. and, in a speech showing deep personal and official regard, informed Chairman Taggart that the set was a present to him from the State central :ommittee and from the Dernocratio State mcials, both those incumbent and those elect. Mr. Taggart responded brieily and feelingly. Hardly were his words ended when Governor-elect Matthaws obtained the floor and presented Secretary Joe Keilley, the silent, with, a very handsome solid gold . watch, in complimentary language. This was an utter and overwhelming surprise to Mr. Reilley, who had assisted in working np the movement to make the chairman a present, but had not counted opon personal recognition of the same character. His voice was choked, and all be could say was: . 'X thank yon, gentlemen. 11 can say no more. 1 refer yon to Judge Jordan." The Judge arose to express Mr. Keiiley's felling of gratitude, and was met with the cryi Sit down. Judge." Amid a round of langhter Governor Gray was recognized by the Chair, and surprised Judge Jordan by a present of a gold headed cane. It was then the Judge's turn to be thankful, and he took occasion to express his own gratitude and to help his friend Reilley out ot his predicament. There was then a suecession ot congratulatory speeches, in which Congressmen Jason Prown and A. N. Martin, Governor Gray. Hon. Thomas Uuskirk of Paoli. Judge Dunkirk of this oity. S. E. Moras and several others took part. The presents were suitably engraved, containing the words with the name, "To , from the Dernocratio State central committee and State officials. 1&J2." The punch bowl is a handsoitie, richly chased, gold-lined bowl, with a waiter, ladle ana six goblets. It cost S23a The watch and cane are also very handsome articles. The plan thus to signify to the three leading officers of the State commit.tee the committee's appreciation of their services, originated with Mr. Hurff, who bad the assistance of Mr. Henderson. This programme, having been concluded, the committee settled down to the business in band, closing up the work of the campaign. AMUSEMENTS.

A napkin bordered, perhaps, with real lace matches her lunchcloth used at the tirst course; the next may be wrought with gold or silver threads, a style of deooration in keeping with the Dutch or Russian silver used, and the third may have the coat-of-arms embroidered on the linen and entwined with the monogram. The same superabundance is sometimes seen in the d i tie root sets of doylies used upon the bare mahogany. There is one for the tisb course, npon which is worked a net and tiny fishes, or seaweed, perhaps shells, or crabs; one upon which to place the salad-bowl decorated with wreaths of nasturtium leaves and blossoms, and a third lor the sweet course, scattered with embroidered rosea, lilies, or violets. Ornate table decorations for formal dinners are, however, we are told, as we have been told a hundred times before, "going out." and we are to have a season of simplicity orof colonial table fashions.

But let no woman of fashion be truly thankful for this sensible and ' refreshing change. It will not probably Hast, for it oilers too little variety, or room for. the display of originality, in either hoste ss, decorator or designer. But if yori wish to exftertatn, do not be dismayed by all this pomp, and, to quote a modern Mrs. Malaprop, "this livered grander." If .you have a pretty, tasteful drawing-room,' a den or library lor smoking or cards, a cozy bedroom or two for dressing-rooms, a dining-room large enough and cool enough to ac'commodate three, or five, or seven, or nine guests, "not less than the graces nor more than the muses, you know." you have sctme of the things necessary for a successful dinner or luucheon.

Firemen Tut Hew York Newspapers and 1 Owners of HaUdlngs to Lots of Trouble. NeIv York, Nov. 25. All the firemen em ployed on the steam company's great plant between Greenwich and Washington streets, at Cortland ferry, struck at ten minutes past 12 o'clock this morning against a rednetion of wages. The company employs about fifty firemen on the fifty-six boilers located around the bases of the great chimneys, which are among the most prominent landmarks of the city. Eleven of these men work from midnight until morninar, becaqse in those hours there is not so great a demand for service. This night watch gathered at the four corners of the blook on whieb the plant asands. shortly before midnight, last nignt. and were soon joined by nearly ail tho men of the day shifts and a large number of sympathizers, who had left their beds to see the beginning of the fight. They were all resolved that they would not go baelc unless the proposed reduction was auau doned. While they waited they told the story of their troubles. They had been receiving 5 o nts an boar and were work. ing from eight -to ten hours a day. The company had announced that hereafter they would be naid a) cents an hour and would be expected to work twelve hours a dar. nearly all of them bad been ' steamship firemen and these said that this reduction would brinz thair wanes down to a lower rizure than they could get at sea, especially on American boats, aud all joined in saying that it was a physical impossibility for a man to tire the boilers of tbe steam com pany's plant twelve hours a day for many days in succession. There waa not a fireman left in tbe house at midnight and before the men had left they had opened the dampers, letting great volumes of cold air into the furnaces and bringing the steam pressure down like a shot. Chief Engineer Clarenoe, who was in chargo, rushed out into the street and begged thnmea to return, but was met with a peremptory, bnt polite, refusal. Then he caught up a directory and began to hunt np the residences ot tho officers of the company. As he turned to the telephone to call a messenger his eye caught the needle of the steam gange on the wall traveling rapidly toward tbe zero point. He ehansed his plans and darted back into the building, starting np the blowing engines and shouting to the watchman to help him. They were the only people in the building. They ran to the boilers to raise what steam they might with the tires that vet remained. Tbe strikers were jubilant at the con sternation they had caused. They said that the newspapers wnicn set tneir power from the company, with tbe exception of one. which has its own steam plant, would be late ou the streets if they oonld oome out at all, aud the pestofiice and Western Union telesraDh service would be seriously hampered, and tbe big office buildings would be cold in the morning. Before 1 o'clock tbe steam had fallen from the regu Iar pressure of eighty-live pounds to tbe square inch to lees than fifty pounds. and was still rapidly falling. The elevators in the Western Union Telegraph building at liroadway and Dey street had to stop running, and in this building and in tho seneral postoffice the electric lights went out, as there was net power enough to run the dynamos, ihere was a great hurrying around to start tires beneath tbe long-idle boilers of their steam plants, and there was pandemonium in those of tbe newspaper offices that were caught without power at the very hour when their presses were about to start. The newspapers rose to the occasion, and their edition were run off, but in hundreds of craice buidings where the steam company's power is used, there was great climbing of stairs to-day. On the Western Union Building five ot tbe six elevators were motionless, the one in operation being run with steam from a boiler in the building. Later in tbe day the company claimed to have replaced twenty-four of tbe strikers, with one hundred applications in hand. The Girls Stack to Their Union. Clevfxand, O., Nov. 5. For the past few weeks an elfort has been made to organize a union of girl and women employes of steam laundries. Twenty-three girls in the Troy steam laundry joined it, and last Wednesday tbey were given the alternative of leaving their employment or the nnion. They stood by the union. T. B. McGuire, of the generalexecntive committee Knights of Labor, is in the city, aud is preparing to prosecute tbe proprietors of the laundry under the Llewellyn law, whicn imposes a penalty for discharging employes for belonging to labor organizations. It is claimed that this law. which is a new one, is clearly nsconititationaL ISot Up to the Standard. Chicago Tribune, "No, miss." said tbe school trustee of District .No. 13. Cornstalk township, shaking his bead slowly. "I don't think you're quite the person we want for teacher in our school." "May I ask in what particular 1 fail to meet your requirements!" inquired the young woman, timidly. "I've Wen listening to your talk." rejcined the official, reluctantly, yet firmly, "and if I must tell yon the tiuth you don't seem to have no idea of gramnar."

From start to finish he was determined on our defeat, lie ambushed ns at Jackass Bend, and put two bullets through our hat. He fired on ns from tbe bush near Lone Tree, and spoiled the looks of our left ear forever. - lie threw eggs, and vegetables, and dead rabbits at us, as we stood on the platform at Ilustlcrville. He stole our running mule, tried to blow up our office, slandered our mother, lied about our dead father, hired the widow Jones to sue us for breach of promise, and in a hundred other ways sought to force ns ott the track. But we were there. We came to stay. We came np smiling after every round, and in the end victory perched upon our banner. She can't be pulled off tbe perch. The wild screams of the Americnn eagle can be heard to-day all over these United States, and it is principally ou our account that he screams. Each scream falls upon our ears like the soil notes of a month organ floatiug on the bosom of a summer evening, but tbe etiect noon the opposition is like being kiefced in tbe back of the head by a landslide. We are a little excited at the present writing, and may be a little wild in the wy we sling tbe English language about, bat we mean well. We feel sorry for the opposition candidate. He hadn't gbost oi a show from tbe start and he has come out of the fight with bis character ruined lor life and his finances in such a state that it will be years before he can afiord a new pair of twoshilling suspenders. He hadn't been before the people three weeks when it was proved beyond a doubt tb&t he was a bigamist, a horsi thief, an embezzler and a dead beat. While Lis party friends bavo dropped him like a tot potato end know him no more, we have extended a brotherly hand, and to-morrow hi begins to saw wood for us back of the office at a dollar a cord.

White Itecraltlng Agents Sent through the Villages to Enlist Iortera, New York Sun. In the course of a year many thousands of loads of supplies or merchandise are carried on the backs of men along the 5 miles of Congo cataracts. Tbe demand for carriers is at all times greater than tbe supply, and there is always a considerable! quantity of goods at Matadi awaiting transportation. The Congo State, the commercial companies and the missionary societies all have their managers of transportation and recruiting agents, wbo go through the country securing forces of carriers. Without a good transport service it would not be possible for Europeans even to live along the upper Congo. Lukungu. a large uatlve town in tbe cataract regions, is the great recrnitiiirf cent! ou the south bank ot the Cuncu. Hre the white agents en an go their capita, of chiefs of caravans, to whom tbey distribute rations for tbe stipulated nnmbeg of men and give a couple of cotton hand kerchiefs for each porter as advance payment. Some days or weeks after tbe bargain is made with the chief, he appears with his men at Matadi with a paper given him by the agent, certifying that be has been engaged to furnish a certain number of men lor a trip to Stanley Tool. Iha goods awaiting transportation are then, given to his party. Very oiten the caravan is not accompanied by a single white man, and it is noteworthy that within the past fouryears, during which hnndredsof thba sandsof loads have been carried on tbe backs of men to and from Stanley Pool, not a single article intrusted to these black cara vans has disappeared. The natives faithfully deliver, either at Matadi or at Leopoldville the packages confided to them. This is eloquent testimony to the fact that these blacks are not destitute of honesty. It often happens that tha chief is not able to supply at once the number of men he had stipulated to f urnitu. ii may bavo agreed to appear with sixty carriers, while. In fact, he presents himselr with only twenty. He is, therefore, indebted to tha recruiting agent for forty payments of ration mont-y or goods. He, however, faithfully fulfils the conditions of his contract, and if all the men he has agreed to s?ply do not appear on the day when the caravan is to start, he furnishes them later. Ha keeps a sort of running account with tha recruiting agent, and it often happens that one of these agents will have four thousand or five thousand loads of goods on tha road at once. When tbe chief and bis men transport their loads to tbe stipulated place, they get a receipt for the goods and then return to Lukungu, where thsy are paid. The natives have learned to have confidence in their white employers, and. knowing that they will bo fairly remunerated for their work, they engage without hesitation in the serv ice of the whites. The cost of transportation between Matadi and 8tanler Pool ia about 10 cents a pound. Of course this is a very heavy tax npon the whites, and they are all eager for the day to come when tha railroad will be completed and their goode can be transported for at least ono-quartet of tha present cost.
