New York, Nov. 19—To-night the com positors employed on the 7Ym««,to the num ber of 75, quit work and left tbe compos ing room, they having previously given no tice that they desired to bo paid at thu rate of 46 cents per 1,000 eras—an increase of one cent; that none other than union men be employed in tbe office and that the superintendent, Joshua A. Wells, be re moved. The compositors obj cted to the later, because they claimed that he was un just with them. Four hours after the strik«* the men's demands were granted and they returned to work Twenty-five were also put to work, to make up for lost lime. Forty non-union men in the office joined 1 he union. PRINTERS STRIKE IN BOSTON. Boston, November 19.—The compositors in the office of the Post struck to-Dight half an hour alter composition time for au ad vance of five cents per thousand. Their demand was piumply refused and the office is trying to get through the night with the department men, who stuck to their cases. Two years aud a half ago the proprietors of the Post locked out their men without warning in the belief that a strike was ra ed ltated and let out their composition to a contractor. The contractor has since that time been paying any and all prices for work and union printers have kept away from the office, From the appearance of things to night it is judged that the Post*8 now joined the union. The other morning papers pay irora 40 to 45 cents and the evening papers 35 cents. It is not believed Ciat there will be trouble in any other office. hands have The South Carolina MarnhaUhtp. Washington, November 19.—United States Marshal John H. Livingston, who succeeded Blythe in South Carolina, bas a bitter fight on his hands, waged in the in terest of John A. Agnew, and a delegation of the latter's friends are here urging the President to send his name into the Senate. 1 n behalf of Agnew it is urged that he pos set ses more backbone than Livingston and will enforce a fair count aud free ballot at the elections in South Carolina. Representa tive Mack *y aud ether leading Republicans, indorse Livingston, while is championed by revenue men. Tbe however, Agnew Greenbackers and President has not yet indicated any prefer euce iu the matter and both sides are kept ou the keen edge of expectancy for a point in favor ot their respective candidates. It is îepresenetd that a reign of terror will be inaugurated against Republican voters in South Carolina unless the selection of deputy marshals as supervisors is confided to a Stal wart who has the neive to stand before the mob element, which is alleged to p nute In the State.

New York, Nov. 19. —A meeting of steamboat owners and transportation line manag« rs was held at the office of Mr. J. H. S tarin today for the purpose of making further arrangements for the grand steam boat parade, which is to be one of the lea tu res of the forthcoming centennial of Evacuation Day.

All the expense to be incurred will be deirayed by the owners ot the boats, aud we will not ask the citizens' committee for a single cent of as sistance in this matter " The Kvent Celebrated.

HELD UNDER THE 90 DAYS LAW. Th« McDonnell Com Again Suspiciously Postponed—Ow at the Opera House Last Night. The City Hall room waa crowded last evening during the hearings before the Municipal Court. The attendance of the crowd was occasioned no doubt by the fact that it had become known that a case would be heard in which a well-known pro fessional thief would be arraigned upon sus picion of having endeavored to entice a young man to a lonely spot for the purpose of robbing him of a gold watch. Two others were arraigned on the same charge. The parties arraigned were George 8. Ha gany. alias "ElUftjhjn," John I Charles Harris. Théy were char picion of J. Haye* of end« storing to decoy him to a lonely spot for tbe purpose of rob bery. Hayes was a very unwilliug witness at first and refused to answer several im Ç jrtant questions put to him by H. C. urner, Esq., Deputy Attorney General, but when informed by Judge that he would have to answer the questions or be committed, be finally concluded to do u d on aus Cummins so. The testimony of Hayes was to the effect that ( n Sunday afternoon he visited the old Malta House on Water street in search o» a friend, and while there he met the prisoners. conversation with him and after some desul tory conversation said to the witness that a friend of his desired to obtain the body of "Little Henry" tbe bootblack, who was re cently burled, and proposed to the witness that he should personate a doctor. Desiring to see "the joke" through he assented. While in conversation with Hagany tbe wit ness drew his watch from his pocket to as certain the time. Hat any examined the watch. The witnesa remained in the com pany of the prisoners until between 11 and 12 o'clock Sunday night. In the evening the whole party went to the Delaware House and remained there until the time stated above. "We left the hotel and went out on Ship ley street, and then 1 had my suspicions aroused and refused to accompany them to the cemetery, thinking that it was a job put up to rob me. I left them and went u Shipley street and met an officer to whom related the circumstances." Sergeant Blackburn testified:I was stand ing on tbe corner of Sixth and Shipley stree s on Sunday night about 12 o'clock watching four or five men stand the pavement in the rear of tbe Delaware House. While stand ing there I heard footsteps coming towards me, and in a few moments Mr. Hayes came up and asked if I had seen a man going by with anything in his hauds. I answered him no. He appeared to be very much excited. I asked what kind of an article. He did uot tell me, but asked if I would go up to the next corner with hlm. I did so, and while standing there a man came up on the west side of Shipley street and turned out Seventh. Hayes started after the man and I followed him. He met the man between Orange and Tatuali and both stopped and conversed for a few minutes. He then « rossed over to where I was standing, and said, men. when on West near Sixth I stopped him and asked where he belong and be replied "I board at the Swan Hotel." I arrested him and it proved to be Logan. Hayes told me who the others were, and how they deavored to induce him to go to a cemetery. I naturally concluded that they Intended to rob him." Officer Osborne testified that he had known "Slim Jiin" by sight for over a year. His reputation in the community was that of a thief. "We have received orders from headquarters to arrest all known profes sional thieves, under the 90 days law, and I consider Hagany one." Officer Tucker also testified that the gen eral reputation of Hagany in the com munity was that of a thief. Sergeant Blackburn testified to the same effect, and said he was the principle one complained of by Hayeé. When a robbery is committed in town Hagany is generally suspected by the citizens as well as the police. J. Ilayes, the plaintiff, was recalled and said be had known Hagany for about eight yearp and he generally passed as a thief. He was the principal in Sunday's transaction. He was the one who made the proposition to go to the cemetery. Chief Hawkins testified that he had seen Hagany serving a sentence in Moyamensing prison, Philadelphia, under the 90-day law in Pennsylvania. In regard to Harris, Hayes testified that he had never seen him before Sundae, but he was continually in the party. He asked me to accomj: who was locked up. been selling a preparation to brighten silver ware and had been arrested on suspicion. This concluded the testimony and Deputy Turner read the law on such cases. He would not ask for the holding of Logan vs. Harris under the act but Harris might be held until his character in Philadelphia was inquired into. He would ask for the hold ing of Hagany. He would also ask the Court to publicly refer to the police in re gard to the arrests. The Court said in reply that the officer did very properly and were to be comraeuded. Deputy Turner then stated *o the Court that he would not ask that Logan be held under the law of persons being held for 90 days, but he thought something was due to the officers who made the arrests, and he would call them to testily to their characters. Deputy—"Yes; they certainly did, and promptly, too." "The Judge—"Yes. and they men." The Court held T ogan and Hagany in $200 bail for their appearance at the General Ses sions Court this morning. Harris for a further bearing this evening. T he cases of Brown, Lawltr and North, who are under ball for assaulting Sergeant McConnell in 8prlng alley, some few nights ago, was to have been heard before the Mu nicipal Court last evening, but. was post poned until Mo 1 day, December 3.

'' MAHONE'S AUDKESS. It Is Regarded as a Pledge to Co-opperate With the Republieans. [Special to the Gazette.] Washington, Nov. 19.—The address of Senator Mahone is commented on in some quarters as indicating a pledge to co operate with the Republicans. It sets the organization of the Senate in the hands of the Republicans beyond any doubt. A STRAIGHT-OUT REPUBLICAN PRONOUNCES IT A TISSUE OF FALSEHOODS. [Special to the Phlla. Press.] Richmond, Nov. 19.—The receipt of Ma hone's letter here, in which he charges wholesale murder In Virginia, has créa tea the greatest excitement among the Demo crats. It Is believed by them to be a p lude to the plot of Mahone and his hoard canvassers to count out a sufficient number of Democrats in the Senate to give li m the majority, and, fearing the result, he pro poses to have United States troops here to aid him in his undertaking. This address is pronounced a tissue of f&lsehoods. General Wickham, straight-out Republican, elected by the united votes of whites and blacks in Hanover over Jones, Mahone's candidate, is out in a card this evening in reply. Tbe 8tate Board of Can vassers meet next Monday. General Wickham's letter will appear in tbe Richmond Dispatch to-morrow. Com menting upon the address of Senator Ma hone the General says that nothing short of lunacy would justify such I e of address, and that tbe wholesale slanders which it con tains will doubtless be fully refuted by a statement of figures and facts in tbe next few days. The statement in the address that the "crack of the Bourbon weapons en gaged in political murder resounded and the Bourbon knife sank deep in the county of Hanover," causes him, as the representa tive of those people in the Smote of Vir ginia, to announce the falsity of the charge. The letter says that a colored man, a Coalitionist, had been murdered in Han over, by a colored Republican; that the Richmond Whig had le fairness to declare that it was due to a personal grudge, and had no political significance whatever; that William Mahone ought to have known the (acts of tbe case, and asks, that if he did not, by what principle ol justice did he utter such slander against the law abiding people of Hanover, without assuring him self of tbe facts lb the case. THU 8 PKAKKR 8 H 1 P* Suggestion of a Democra lo Caucus to As certain the Views of the Members. [Special to the Gazette.] Washington, N<-v. 20.— U bas been sug gested by many Democratic members now in the city, lhat a caucus be held in the Capitol building sometime next week. The purpose of this meeting will be ostensibly the consideration of the attitude of the Democratic party and tbe arraugemeut of a programme of legislation. But in view ot the embarrassment which attends the selec tion of a Speaker, this matter will be the leading subject which will engage the attentions of the r preset)ta li ves on that occasiou. Notwithstanding I he reiterations of the newspapers that each of tbe candidates has the pledges of a jority of Democratic members, the truth is that very few have «tuen their pledaesti* the support of either candidate. There is a great uncertainty among them, not only as to a party policy, but as to the personal pro clivities of the candidates, especially in refer ence to the tariff question. They incline to withhold their promises until there is more light on this subject. The efforts now being made to effect this meeting will no doubt be successful. Accused of Wile-Murder. Lockport, N.

THE BLIND IS MADE TO SEE The Shock of the Wound and tlie Horror of the Bloody Tragedy Restores May bee's Sight. Brookvill*, L.' I., Nov. 19.—Early this morning people began to gather at the house of Gerritt Maybee and guards had to be placed at the doors to keep the crowds from surging through the house. Edward M. Griffin watched with Mr. Maybee all night. The wounded man slept fairly well. He awoke when it was broad daylight. As be turned in I is bed towards the door he said, in wonder "Ed, I can see that door. I can see the lod.;. lean see the light." Then holding up his hands: "I can see my hands. The sight Is dim, but yet I sec." When the doctor arrived Mr. Maybee was in his usual seat at the window in the sitting room. He then said could see the white fence by the road and could see any one standing before him, but not distinctly enough to recognize the features. Mr. Maybee has been unable to see anything or distingui h the light for over a year. There was a complete paralysis of the optic nerve. Dr. Whituey account* for the partial recovery of sight by saying that the force of the blows, the bleeding and the mental shock operated on the optic nerve much as an electric shock might, re storing its sensibility. Mr. Maybee will probably further regain the use of bis eyes. The effect of restored sight on the whole 6ystem of Mr. Maybee was greatly encour aging to his friends. He was calmer in mind and much stronger in body than any one anticipated. Soon after 11 o'clock the Coroner aDd his jury filed into the dining room to begin the inquest When all was ready old Mr. May bee was wheeled in his chair through the folding doors to a place at the table. Dr. Whitney sat at bis side, to see that the ex citemeut. ol an examinât' him. did not injure Mr. Robert Townsend conducted tbe examination as representative of the Dis trict Attorn« y In a quiet way Mr. Maybee told of his wife ami daughter leaving the house to go to the barn, of the subsequent entry of the tramp, of tbe terrible blows the tramp gave him, of his cries lor help, of the entry, alter what seemed an age to him, of his friends and neighbor«, -nd how he hurried them oil to the barn "After what seemed half au hour," he continued, "I heard them return auJ hear«! them talk ing among themselves in Jow voices. I re cognized the voice of Jacob Fitting. I told them to let me know the worst. I was pre pared lor the worst. Thin Mr Fitting said he might as well tell me that my wife and child were dead—dead—" The o*d man lost control of his voice, tried to speak a second time and then, clasping his hands above his h ad, he fell back iu his chair, trembling as if in great agony and wholly exhausted. He was cared fot by tbe doctors and his daughter. As Mr. William Simonson, who lives a mile south of Glen head, was hltcbimr up hie horse to drive over to the tuq .est he saw a tramp pass his house. The man weut to the railroad dossing, started up toward Glenbead and then turn around and walked south toward Rosylyn. The tramp answered the d sc:iptiou of thealleg« d derer. Mr. Simonson employs a colored man named Bray. Bray followed the tramp and Mr. Simonson and his son, W. H.,drove rapidly to Rosylyn and sent out Deputy Sheriff James Gillespie. Gillespie met tbe tramp alking with Bray where the turn pike crosses the railroad, just north of Rosylyn. He was at first reticent. The sum of $21.34, in bills, silver and pei. nies, was found on him. He said he had more, but gave part to a chum to sreure a lawyer in case he was arrested. He said his name was James Doyle. He said he earned the money in Coldspring, but afterward he said he earned it in Queens, working for Farmer Hendrickson He said he had been a week tramping from Coldspring and that Saturday night he was iu Westburg. The people in Brookville claim that the murderer slept in the Poorhouse on Friday night. Doyle admitted that he slept there that night and was the only tramp in the Poorhouse. The keeper says that the tramp got up early Saturday morning, growled at him because breakfast was not ready, and said he could get breakfast sooner at some of tbe bouses and went ofl. When arrested he w ore a Derby bat. He bad a slouch hat io his pocket. Before J ustice Losee, of Rosy lyn, he said he came from Hoi brook,Suffolk county, and that he slept Sunday night in Farmer Post's bam, In Westbury. He de nied that be bad committed any crime. It was thought in Brookville that Doyle would be brought before the Coroner. A man from Rosylyn said that the reason he was not sent over was that those in charge of him wanted to know where the money for the expense for transportation was to come from first. George Francis Brown, who was arrested at Jamaica on suspicion of being the culprit, confessed that he saw the deed committed by another man, who was with him. He was taken to Rosylyn and identified Do\ le as the n urderer. The Brooklyu police to-night arrested thre° believed to answer the description of the suspected Brookville tramp, («ne of them was the man who boarded the Long Island train at Westbury on Saturday night and who jumped off at the Fiatbush avenue de pot. He is known to the police as John Mc Cormack, and has always been considered a harmless fellow. There was nothing in his possession belonging to tbe murdered fam ily.
