[Sunday Star.]
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Wm H. Pierson,
the genial aud enterprising proprietor of the
large door and sash works at 419 aud 421
West. Front street., was seated in his office in
the Hunzberger building, which he is now
occupying while awaiting the completion of
building on Front street. The half
past four bell had struck and the whizzing
machinery of the large factory wan faßt
coming to a standstill to start up no more
until
side door of Mr. Pierson's private office
opened and his foreman appeared
with a very long couutenauce with a most
serious and foreboding aspect.
Mr. Pierson at once divined some trouble
in the mill, though owing to the excellent
feeling existing between him uud his em
ployes it Is rare for anyone to complain,and
hië fears were confirmed when the foreman,
with some embarrassment of manner, sild
that there was a matter between Mr. Pier
son and t he
he, the foreman, was authorized to say on
behalf of the men that it had to be settled
right then and there before another stroke
of work was done in the factory.
Mr. Pierson rose and said that he would
be pleased to hear any grievance the men
might have to make.
Thereupon
bit
afrer Christmas when the
that had to be settled and
the foreman drew from be
neath his coat a handsome, gold-headed
ebony cane and presenting it to Mr. Pierson
on behalf of the employes said thaatit was
intended as a slight token of the kindly
feeling aud esteem they entertained for him
and also as some small return for the
many kindnesses they had received at his
hands.
Mr. Peirson was taken

of language and declared that he had uever
in his life received a gift with more pleasur

cherish this evidence of the good will of

kind and equitable method of treatment was

which so much had been said and written.

this pleasant affair.
AN ELECTRIC SUCCESS.
The Maxim Company'put Up Tw» Lamps
and Have Them Burning in a Few
Hours.
The introduction of the Maxim electric
light on Market street Saturday was a
plete success, and the parties having it in
charge are to be congratulated upon the
remarkably quick time made by them In
establishing the line, short as it was. The
lamps were kept burning until 1 o'clock
Sunday morning.
It was expected to have bad the lamps
burning by 5 o'clock, but an almost in
numerable number of minor matters need
ing attention, and it being the desire of the
men to have no hitch or mistake in the start,
it was not until 6.50 that the first flash ap
peared simultaneously on the carbons of the
lamps half a block apart. The starting
up of the lights caused considerable stir on
Market street, which was crowded with
Christinas buyers and those bent on having
a good time,
burned brightly, if anything that in front
of Adams «&* Bro.'s being the brightest
of the two. During the entire evening the
lamps were carefully scrutinized aud
mented upon, the conclusion being that
they were but the beginning of a general
system of electric lighting iu the city.
The dynamo machine, with which tbe
electricity is generated, is an insignificant
looking ail air, taking up about half a much
room as a sewing machine. It is what is
known as a two-light machine, each light
being equal to 2000 caudle power.
The engine employed is a 12 horse one,
aud but one-half its capacity is required to
keep the lamps goiug, as each one only
requires a three-horse engine.
The Maxim light is used in a great many
places and very satisfactorily, too. Among
those prominently interested in the company
controlling it are Weston, Maxim, Farmer
and other celebrated electricians.
A company will be formed in Wilmington
at once, the subscription books for stock to
be opened by the first of January.
The lights are being raised to-day so as
to diffuse the light more generally, and will
be in full blast again this eveuing.

CLEVELAND HARD AT WORK.
New York's Governor-elect Diligently
Writing Ills Message—His Peculiar
Manners.
Buffalo, N. Y., Dee. 24.—Governor
elect Cleveland, unlike Pennsylvania's
youthful PutLison, has as yet no private
secretary, and Is consequently almost
swamped by applications for office, which
his law clerks tile after a lash ion. He works
at his message over his office iu his living
rooms, which arc handsomely furnished.
There, under lock and key, he denies him

The new governor, as is well known, is a
bachelor, and doe6 not favor Buffalo "so

would for years have gladly opened its

the principal clubs—the "Buffalo" aud the

aristocratic. He is fond of whist, aud plays
it well as it should be played—silently. In
conversation he is easy and has the
quality of suggestiveness and keeping his

A ROW IN THK SENATE.;
The True Inwardne«» of the Fight Be
tween Hoar and Bntier on Saturday.
Washington, Dec. 35. —No one would
know, by reading the Cony regional Record
to-day that Senators Hoar and Butlerglarcd
at each other with very angry glances, and
spoke words full of passion during the de
bate last Saturday. It occurred shortly be
fore midnight, and though it lasted but a
lew minutes, was such a spectacle as is very
seldom witnessed on the floor of the Senate.
The Record , however, is dumb about it, in
dicating that the friends of one or the other,
or both, were so ashamed of it that they had
tiie report of it stricken out. Mr. Hoar hud
been unusually chipper all the evening.
(Jen. Ilawlcy, .who makes no pretensions
as a lawyer, had been bothered a little by
the good-natured but mischievous thrusts of
West;, Jones, Garland and other lawyers on
the Democratic side. They were plainly
lient on tangling Hawley up in the subtle
ties of the law, and Its bearing on the Civil
Service Reform bill, which he was engineer
ing through the Senate. Hawley had looked
in despair for Edmunds, who sat In the
cloak room, hugging a classic that
he had taken from the library, and
hiding Its pages in clouds of cigar
smoke; but Edmunds would not help him.
Hoar, as the only lawyer on the Rupublican
side who had not deserted the Senate, was
appealed to by Hawley to help him through.
The precise question that was being dis
cussed at the time of the spasm of anger
was whether the Supreme Court had infer
entially affirmed the constitutionality of a
law to prohibit the payment of political con
tributions to anybody by a Government em
ploye. Vest, Garland and Beck insisted
that by the decision in the Curtis
right of (Congress to prohibit payments wa6
adirmed as a necessary consequence of the
right to prohibit the solicitation of contri
butions. The point was made because
Hawley and other Republicans opposed an
amendment to the Civil Service bill pro
hibitiug payments. Ilawley claimed that
Congress could not constitutionally pro
hibit the right of any American citizen to
do what he wanted to with his money, hut
he was unable to back his assertion with
the argument of a lawyer.
Hoar, in a chipper manner, undertook it
for him. Hoar laid dowu the law that Con
gress could not prolribit payments except
for a corrupt political purpose. Butler then
asked in tones of utmost courtesy If Hoar
would define what he meant by a corrupt
political purpose. The Record reports
Hoar's answer to have been as follows: "I
think it very easy to define—to buy votes.
To hire men to control or intimidate, for
example." Now, Mr. Hoar said nothing of
the kind. What he did say was: "It is very
easy. To buy shotguns to shoot and intimi
date negroes, for instance." Butler started
back as though Hoar had struck him.
had, indeed, wounded Butler in a very sen
sitive place. Every one knew that the shot
a personal one, and if there was any
doubt about it, Hoar's angry face aud white
lips would have dispelled It. Senators came
from the eloak room; chatting ceased. But
ler's hot temper is well known and a scene
was certain.
Instantly Butler stepped out Into the aisle,
and with passionate vehemence shouted :
"Or to use money to disfranchise 136,000
voters in Massachusetts, as the Senator has
done." When Butler began to speak Iloar
turned his back on him. When he caught
these words, however, lie turned back, llis
face became livid, and, with the passion that
is generally followed by a blow, he rushed
down the aisle toward Butler, shouting,
"What does the Senator mean by that?"
Butler did not stir. Other Senators did,
and began to gather near the two angry
Senators, evidently to prevent further im
proprieties. Both Senators, however, speak
ing at the same moment, were so passionate
that their words could not be heard in the
galleries. David Davis, however, who wa6
in the chair, secured order for a moment.
Then Butler said, aud in a voice that might,
have been heard at the other end ol the
corridor, that lloar had Insinuated a per
sonal reflection which he would not dare
make openly. Iloar replied that he meant
no personal reflection; that he never hinted
nor insinuated, but that, if necessary, he
should characterize the Senator in words
which could not be mistaken. Here Don
Cameron, who Is Butler's uext friend, with
a keen sense of the proprieties, touched
Butler's elbow, and little Rollins performed
the some office for Hoar, and there was no
further public exhibition of anger. Of all
this the record makes no ineution, though
Mr. Vest, in his speech that followed, char
acterized the scene as the first sensation the
Senate had had during the prolonged
debate.

A DOUBLE MURDER.
Two Men Killed and a Lynching in Pros
pect.
A dispatch from Atlanta, (Ja., dated
December 25th, says: Details of a double
murder yesteiday at Covingtion, a small
town about sixty miles from Atlanta, on the
Georgia railroad, have just reached here.
The accounts state that William Smith and
James Banks met in a barroom and quar
reled about cards. A scuttle ensued, Smith
pressing it aud Banks declining. Smith
with a large navy six-shooter finally
shot Banks through the body. He stag
gered out and fell on the next doorstep and
urderer ran and was pur
sued, and when overtaken Alexander Hend
ricks colored, with a rock in his hand, or
dered him to stop. The murderer turned
him and shot him through the body also.
He ft 11 and died in a few moments. Just
then another pursurer fired at Smith putting
a ball through his liât, whereupon he fled,
pursued by the Sheriff and the crowd.
When about one mile distant Smith was
seen to hide himself behind a pile of brush
by another faithful colored man. The
Sheriff was told of his position. Riding up
he demanded Smith's surrender or life, and
Smith surrendered, being taken by the
Sheriff alone.
When the officer with liis prisoner arrived
in town the scene was indescribable. A yell
was raised, the crowd halloed aud
meet him, some crying out, "Where is lief"
"Kill him," "Let's hang him." There was
a large crowd in town, and it was with diffi
culty that he could pats the streets to jail.
The excitement is still high, and a strong
guard is on duty to protect the prisoner.
