McCormick Labor Troubles.
Chicago, March L—McCormick’s
reaper works resumed operations this
morning, 150 men reporting for duty.
Great crowds were in the vicinity of the
works early in the morning, and to their
presence is ascribed the fact that a larger
number did not apply for work through
fear or intimidation. A large force was
on hand to preserve order, and arrested
three or four men who were aggressive.
The looked out men are to hold a mass
meeting this morning near the works.
In live minutes after the gates opened
there were, according to Mr. McCor
mick's count. 350 men at work in the va
rious departments. Superintendent
Averill says a number of men had re
frained from returning owing to having
received threatening notes last night.
By to-morrow he expected the works
would be in full operation. Mr. McCor
mick opened the doors in person and de
clared that he would not shut dow n now
if he had but a dozen men to do the
work
Just previous to opening the gates
those not intending to apply for work
made a slight opposition to those about
to enter the works, but dispersed pre
cipitately upon a movement in their di
rection of the police. After the first dis
persal of men, they began assembling
again in little groups in the neighboring
streets. When requested to “move on”
they refused, and about 20 were put into
a patrol wagon and taken to the
Hinman street station, where they
were lined $5 each. Fifty men bad
gathered in front of 10(17 Blue Island Ave
nue. None were very belligerent, ex
cept Stanifoft Gender, who is described
as a ring-leader. He got upon a door
step aud shouted in Bolish: "Now is the
time to act. Every man get out bis pis
tol and let us live or die for the cause.”
Officer Marks was standing by. He is
familiar with the Polish language, and
when he heard the incendiary outburst,
lie grabbed Gender and took him to the
station. When searched there was a
48-calibre revolver found in Genc’er's
possession. The reaper works are dis
tant from the court-house live miles,
but the police headquarters were kept
fully advised of the situation.
Chief of Police Ebersold was seen this
morning, and said: “Although not ap
prehensive of any serious trouble, still I
am prepared for the receipt of the verv
worst of news from the McCormick
quarters, and from reports, 1 am con
strained to believe that the day will not
pass quietly by without an outbreak or
disturbance of some nature. 1 have ade
quate force on the ground for immediate
necessities, and have arranged matters
so that within an hour from the time an
alarm is given I can cover the McCor
mick possessions with policemen.”
At 10 o’clock about 500 of the locked
out men formed a procession, headed by
a brass band, and started for Working
men’s Hall, at the corner of Twelfth and
Walker streets, to attend the meeting
there.
Corpus Christi Collector Sustained.
Washington, March L—The Treasury
Department has sustained the action of
the Collector of Customs at Corpus Chris
ti, in assessing duty at the rate of 10
cents per pound on certain wool im
ported at Laredo and classified as wool
of class 1, costing under 40 cents per
pound.
The importer appealed from the deci
sion. He claimed that the wool in ques
tion was carpet wool, or wool of the third
class, valued at less than 12 cents per
pound, and dutiable at the rate of -s
cents per pound. Examination showed
it to be composed of a very poor quality
of Mexican wool, mived with tirst-class
or merino wool, the proportion of me
rino wool being 24 per cent. While the
presence of wool .of the first-class ren
ders the importation liable to the duty
assessed, it is believed to be unjust to
assess that rate on such poor material.
The Department decides that tqe wool
in the present mixed condition is liable
to duty at the rate assessed, but authori
zes the Collector to have importations of
this charter sorted for the purpose of
correct classification and to assess the
duty on respective quantities of wool of
the several classet, which course may
be followed in the preseat case, provided
the merchandiso remains in the custody
of the collector.

Walks About Town.
To look at the varions fellow-beings
we meet in the streets is an interesting
study. Queer people some of them are.
Some are proud of their clothes, while
some shutlie along in tatters. Some are
cheerful, others are melancholy. Some
have a light and happy step, others plod
on as if marching to the grave. What a
good think it would betogive each of
tbe sad and weary ones a bottle of
Brown’s Iron Bitters! How it would
nerve them up and make them know the
blessing of hearty health! Mr. Schutt,
of Kiel, Wis., says : “Brown’s Iron Bit
tars cured me of general ill health.”

A WATERY GRAVE.
A Swiss Immigrant, Qottheb Brandel,
Finds One.
This morning after daybreak, between
6 and 7 o'clock, a boy named Kline, who
is employed by County Assessor D. M.
Poor at his rancli four miles south of the
city, on coming to the city, discovered
the body of a dead man, lying face
downward in the water of the San
Pedro creek at the race track or Nogal
itos crossing on South Flores street. The
boy did not touch the remains, but told
Antonio Esquivel, an assistant to Pound
master Cassiano, and they visited the
spot. The coroner, Justice J. C. Craw
ford. was informed immediately by Offi
cer Martinez and summoned a jury nod
viewed tbe remains. Tbe iurv found a
young man of 24 or 25 years of age, of
decidedly German or Swiss features,
heavy set frame, low stature, dressed in
common working clothes, white shirt,
a gold collar button and shirt stud, lying
at the edge of tbe creek bank, where a
Mr. Hamilton, a passer-bye, had carried
the body from the water. A sliver case
Swiss watch, silver chain and watch
key,' with jeweled head, a pocket
memorandum book and several letters,
a pencil, a purse containing $1.30 in
sliver were found on the remains, which
were taken In charge of by tbe jury.
The body was ordered taken care of by
Justice Crawford, and with the personal
effects of the dead man the jury returned
to the city and examined the papers of
the dead man.
A railway ticket, second class, evi
dently used by a foreign railway com
pany, was drst examined, which dis
closed the name of tbe dead man to be
Gottlieb Brandel, from Wadenseil,
Switzerland. Letters from bis mother,
dated from Norgan, and from another
not his mother evidently, dated from the
same town, which expressed for him
the tenderest affection and truest love.
The writer hoped soon to be with him,
snd never would be separated from him
again. Two congratulator}- birth-day
cards were found inscribed to "My love
Gottlieb,” evidently sent by his young
brothers or sisters,'a photograph, dis
closing a group; a pretty girl of 1G or 17
years, and two boys, evidently his
brothers and sisters; a letter full of kind
words and loving messages from
from his old mother, and letters
evidently sent to him addressed to an
other person for him, were found one
addressed to John Bosshcrdt, No. 201
Commerce street, and another to Mrs. B.
E. Horton, America.
An account of tbe inclement . weather,
and the trouble to procure tbe witnesses
living near the spot where the corpse
was found, the inquest was adjourned
after inspecting those effects until to
morrow morning at 10 o'clock.
A Light reporter visited Mr. Boss
hardt’s saloon at No. 201 Commerce
street this mornlngand learned from Mr.
Robert Hunziker, the barkeeper and a
well-known Switzer, that Gottlieb Bran
del was well-known by him and was a
countryman of bis. He said be. Gott
lieb, had been iu this country about one
year, and had worked for a farmer liv
ing about 15 miles from San Antonio.
Lately however, Gottlieb told him he
had had seme trouble with bis(mployer
and had quit and was then looking for
work. The waiter boy at this saloon
says the deceased was in the saloon last
night between 7 and 8 o'clock and took
a glass of beer for which he
paid 5 cents out of his pocket.
He then drank another glass and gave
the boy 50 cents and received 45 cents
change. He complained of being sick
and said he did not feel well and had
been sick for two weeks. He had been
steadily losing flesh and was not as
heavy as he had been, t hat is the last
time he was seen in the saloon. His
watch, a common Swiss watch, had
stopped at 2:55, bni was not run down,
and bad evidently been stopped by its
immersion in the water, probably at that
hour this morning. While the man was
evidently downhearted and discouraged
and may have committed suicide, tbe
evidence of the young men at tbe saloon
may go to prove he was 111, and having
fallen intothe water, was unable to he'p
him.
