By the manager of the American Rapid the Star Feporter was informed that that company is more than satisfied with the result of its compromise with the brotherhood. ‘Our business is increasing daily,” he sald, “and we will handle all the busi- ness we can get.” AT THE B. & 0. OFFICE Manager Clarke sald: “We are getting our bual- ness through without-any trouble now. Of course nothing like the volume of business is offered that was being done before the strike, but we handle all we get and could handle more.” “How much of a force have you?” asked the wrter. ~ h, six or seven,” was the evasive reply. It Was evident to the reporter that the “vol- ume of business” being done by the Baltimore and oe io ay Miu extensive, an searching for Manager Clarke the reporter wen through about all the roomsot tie Bead O, Dulide ing.

The truth 4s that the delay and uncertainty of delivery on the part of the companies still fighting the strike are so well understood that they are getting very little business, i The game of base ball for the benefit of the strikers next Monday it 1s expected will furnish Some rare sport. The indications are that a large crowd will be present. At the Telegraphers’ Headquarters. WAITING FOR NEWS FROM THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO—ME. AUSTIN AND THE ALLEGED MUTILATED DISPATCH. It was very quiet about the headquarters of the telegraphic brotherhood to-day. Committees were at work arranging for an excursion to be given Monday evening for the benefit of the brother- hood, and also for a base bal! match to take place Monday afternoon between a nine selected trom newspaper reporters and correspondents and a nine from the Washington Oeratic association. “There 1s nothing new to-day,” sald Master Workman Sheibly when a Stak reporter entered headquarters, “but we expect to hear from the Baltimore and Ohio company soon.” THE INDIGNANT OPERATORS, ‘The members of the brotherhood are still indig- nant over what they claim to b> the unjust treat- ment of the six recent recruits from the Western Union office. All of the six men say that, Austin, Who 1s selected out for criticisin by the officials of the company, was not a leader in the secession at all, as they Wereall equally interested and equally active. THE DEPARTMENTAL BUSINESS. ‘The Western Unton superintendent in this city telegraphed to New York to-day as follows: “Official inquiry was made at the following de- partinents this morning relative totelegraphic ser- vice: Secretary of the 'Treasury’s office replied: Whar, BO knowledge of any business. being withheld on account of supp¢ inability to sen it promptly.’——Attorney General's office replied: ‘No business withheld.’——-Secretary of State’s office replied: ‘No messages have been withheld and no delays occurred. Business has been sent and recelved as usual.’—-Szeretary of the Navy's office replied: ‘No business withheld.’ ” LADY OPERATORS QUIT WORK. The lady operators who were yesterday placed in charge of the branch office of the B. and O. Tel- ezraph company in the Post Office department ylelded to the arguments of the strikers, and to- day they were not at their post. This is the sec- Ge attempt that has been made to open this office. — Suicide of an Artillery Sergeant. HE SHOOTS HIMSELF IN THE HEAD AT THE MONU- MENT LOT. ‘This morning, about 11 o'clock, Sergeant John A. Muller, of Battery C (Major Graves), second United States artillery, committed suicide in the Washington monument lot by putting his pistol to his head, on the left side, and pulling the trig- ger with the thumb, killing himself instantly. ‘The deceased was one of the detail left in charge of the arsenal, and had been drinking heavily for some days. Except for his love of strong drink he was regarded as a model soldier. He was ob- served this morning walking about the % man engaged | at sald he would kil himself. He was seen shortly afterwards to lay himself down at full length under a tree, and in a few minutes the report of the pistol was heard, and when parties reached him he was dead. Tho deceased was about 45 years old, was of German descent, and was living in Tennessee during the and child. He was apout belng pressed in. the confederate service, when he came north and enlisted in battery C, 2d U. 8. artillery, in which he has continuously served. ‘The deceased was removed to the fifth precinct station house, and the coroner summoned. Dr. Hartigan arrived about 1:45 o'clock, and, after hearing the statements of several persons, decided Uhat an inquest was unnecessary. His comrades took charge of the remains and conveyed them to the barracks, and state that he will be interred at Arlington to-morrow. Corporal Adelbert Hart, of the same company as the deceased, stated that he has been in the ser- vice over twenty years, and at present, being the senior non-commissioned officer at the barracks, had charge of all the arrangements of the detach- ment, in which there are about 30 men. He has not been in charge of this dut; hi considerably worried an excitable nagure, ht years he has been talking of “doi himself.” ——>— THR NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

Suing a Clergyman. A BROOKLYN PASTOR ACCUSED OF POISONING A WIFR'S MIND AGAINST HER HUSBAND. From the New York Herald, to-day. ‘Thomas J. Noblett began a suitagainst the Rov. Richant H. L. Tighe, pastor of the Grace Protest- ant Episcopal chapel, in the supreme court of Kings county, yesterday, to recover $25,000 for de- famation and unlawful prosecution. He alleges in his complaint that the defendant visited his home when he was absent and instilled into the mind of his wife certain slanderous and malicious tales. Among other things it is charged that the Teverend gentleman told the plaintiff's wife that Plaintiff was unfaithful to her and was an habit- Ual drunkard; that In consequence of these state- ments the plaintif€ was locked up in the Kings county tnebriates’ home, and that thereafter, and in consequence of those’ stories, his wife sued for 8 divorce, and on his discharge from the home had him arrested on a charge of assault and battery, for which he was sentenced to fiity days in thé penitentiary. The Rev.

THE PRESIDENT’S TRAIN WHIRLING ALONG AT THE BATE OF A MILE IN FORTY-TWO SECONDS, From the New York Sun, to-day. Precisely at 11:33 yesterday morning, locomo- ee 169 of the Philadelphia and Reading raflroad, rawing a tender and one parlor car, left the sta- tion at Somerville, N. J., for Jersey City. Enci- neer William Aten was at the lever, and COnduc- tor Van Liew held a stop-watch. In the parlor car were President Arthur, Fred. Frelinghuysen, the son of Secretary Frelinghuysen, the Hon. John Kane, jr., and Mr. C. Barcelow. President Arthur went to Somerville on tho sam: special train on Thursday, when Engineer Aten brought his engme over the thirty-five miles of track between Jersey City and Somerville in thirty-eight minutes. Some one remarked that the time was good. ‘The eng!- neer siniled and said that he thought he could beat it bya couple of minutes. A doubt was ex- pressed. “Wait for the home trip,” he said, “and You will sec e At the signal to start thick black smoke went roaring out of the stack in big clouds. The driv- ing wheels made afew slow revolutions. Then the piston rod danced in and out of the cylinder with lightning rapidity, and a moment later the train scemed a speck in the distance. Engineer Aten, with body bent and head thrown forward, kept the engine to her pace, which was almost terrific. The telegraph poles few by, with seem- ing little space between. When Fanwood came in sight the engine was doing her best. “We'll time her a mile between here and West- field,” said the engineer. Thecateh of the stop watch was slipped, and the second hand flew back to the sixty. Then the seconds were counted one by one as the engine flew along. The mile gvas made in 42 seconds. A little time Was lost at the track crossing at Eliza- beth, and in going over the Newark bay bridge. When tho engine came to a standstll in the Jer- sey City depot the stop watch indicated 12:06, Showing. that the 35 miles had been made in 33 minutes, “I sald we could make two minutes better Ume,” sald Engineer Aten ashe jumped from the cab, “but we have shortened the time by five min- utes.” The time is claimed to be the best on record. Last evening President Arthur recetved Presi- dent De Soto, of Honduras, Commander Green, U. S. N., General Charles kK. Graham, James R. Davies, and General Rufus Ingalls.

The fact that the majority of telegraph oper ators are comparatively young men without recollection of the only other great strike through which the Western Union Company has nad to pass, accounts, perhaps, for the fact that few al- lusions have been made thus far to the operators’ strike of 1870. Last week Secretary Brewer, coming down from the operating room after @ two hours’ work at the key, said: “I saw ata glance when I went upstairs that the strike was not going to be as serious a matter as that of 1870. Then I went back to the key as now and found not more than ten desks occupied.” This isthe view that other officers of the Western Union Company took ofthe first strike, Several of them remembered it vividly, for the reason that they were active participants in the fight on one side or the other. General Eckert was then general district superintendent; ex-Gover- nor Cornell, now on the sub-committee on grievances, was then a newly elected vice pres- ident; John Van Horne, now a vice president of the company, was then general manager at Louisville; and one of the operators who left him in the lurch thirteen y ago was Mr. Somerville, at present the manacer of the Press Service; Superintendent Humstone was also among the strikers. The strike terminated Mr. Somerville’s career as a practical telearapher, since, when the operators capitulated, he sought and obtained work ina different branch of the service. In recalling incidents of the strike a few days ago Mr. Somerville related that at the beginning of the strike. in Lontaville Mr. Van Horne was left without a single operator. Dropping his executive work, Mr. Van Horne himself kept the wires open as best he could, The circumstance touched the strikers, among whom Mr. Van Horne was popular, and th sent a committee to their general manager r= f offered to place at his disposai the best operator in the city it he would himself cease work. Mr. Van Horne appreciated the kind promptings of the men, but declined their offer. The strike in 1870 originated in San Francisco, and grew out of the discharge of two or t! operators who refused to accept reductions salary. The telegraphers were organized ina rotective league which, however, was far from ing such a body as the Brotherhood of Tele- graphers. The saspension of business was fot atime quite as general as now, but recruits came in from the country faster. The New- York office was left with only three operators, but theentire force consisted of only sixty-seven. The growth of the telegraph business during the last thirteen years is indicated in a large degree by the difference between this force and the present one of 473 operators in this city, as well as by the difference between the receipts and expenditures of the Western Union Com- | pany then and now. The following table will furnish a basis for comparison: an 1870. . aia 3,972 068 6 38.842,247 96 $17,114,165.92 1, 43 Profits... + 2,227, 965.54 In 1870 the company employed between 3,000 and 4,000 operators, of who The Protective League, when the strike began, had only 1,500 members, however, and disinte- | gration of the striking forces began within @ | Week after the contest was opened.
