C., June 22.—[Special Telegram to the BEE.]—The people of Laurens county have been working them- selves Into a panic the past two weeks over an alleged threatened insurrection of negroes inthat county. The most blooa-curdling rumors have been cireulated to the effect that the negroes intended to kill the white men, reduce the boys to slavery and marry the white girls. The negroes have been holding meetings at midnight in their county churches, with armed sentinels at the doors and a cordon of pickets guarding the roads leading to the piaces of their conclaves. It was said that a white man from Hickory, nicnamed “Hoover,” has been stirring up strife and trying to organize the negroes under the style of *‘Co-operative Workers of America,” to carry out their bloody work. Laurens is easily excited. A company of cavalry was organized and officered by the most fearless men of the threatened section— the Cedar Grove section, near the line divid- inz Greenville and Laurens counties. This cavalry — company WS armed, of course, and ready tor any emer- gency: but not satisfiea with their means of defense, the people appealed to Governor Richardson, who dispatched a trusted aide to the seat of war. This action on the governor’'s part started another flood ot rumors, and it Lias been suggested that the state militia would be ordered to Laurens county to quell the insur ion, of which there has been at no time any very imminent danger, The affair will probably” blow over without further expemditure of terrifying telegrams, Hoover, who is at the bottom of the trouble. is the same man that was mobbed near Milledgeville, Ga., about a month azo for incendiary talk to the negroes in that section. He wasoperating amoug the negroes per part of this state last winter, and 1 soveral lodzes of the “Co-operative ers of America.” 1leis the president, 8 t of taking all the degrees is $1, halt of which amount has been sent invariably to Hoover. sncbiggs.

The family lives on the river front near Boyd's packing house, and the untor- tunate accident happened opposite Fair- bank’s lard refinery, about 2:30 o'clock. The littie fellow was playing with anotherolder boy from the neighborhood, and the two ventured upon some drft logs that were anchored to the shore. The logs tipped and the little fellow feil intothe water and wasseen no more. The larger boy, seeing his playmate drown- ing, ran away, but a little girl who saw the oceurrence informed the parents,and a search was at once instituted, but with- out result, The little one’s hat was found floating near the logs,but no further trace of their child’s body has as yot been found by the heartbroken parents. When last seen the boy was dressed in black knee pants and calico jacket and barefooted. ~ Any mformation of the tinding of his body should be at once forwarded to Mr. Sll«'pmmk ut the Willow Springs dis- tiller, Pleasant Birthday Party.

HAPPENINGS ABOUT TOWN. Thoe Master and Journeymen Painters to Meet in Consultation, THE VOLLMER MURDER TRIAL. A Meeting of Contractors to Organize & Protective Association—Other Items of Local lmpor- tance They Will Meet, Very little headway made towards the settlement of the dispute between the master and journeymen pamters. With one exception the former refusad to sign the agreement which the exccutive council submitted to to them on behalf of the men. The terms of the agreement are as fol- lows: “That the wages of competent workmen should be fixed at $2.75 per day ot nine hours; that the shops should be made union shops, and that over-time work should be paid at the rate of a time and a half; the agresment to continue until the 1st day of April, 1888, The main, if not the only, objection of the masters to this agreement 18 with regard to bringing their shops into the union and subject to the orders of that body. The twenty-four hours limited by the resolution of the masters, within which the men were allowed to return to work, expired at 12 o'clock to-day, but no in- clination has been shown by the men to resume, PUBLIC. The master puinters made an agree- ment to pay $2.75 per day and that nine hours should be a days work. ‘This agreement they have most shamefully violated in every way, by paying two it ¢ day, one man $2.50 and 5. Do they call that acting in good faith with their agreement. Go still further in violating tieir agreement made ingood faith on the part of the puinters assembly by discharging old union men who, in some cases, have served their time in the said shops. In anotl e,where a man was employed as foreman at 3 per duy he had his pay cut down to §2 he was a meni- ber of the punte embly. Then they go on to say that they are willing to arbitrate. The painters’ assembly have nothing to submit to arbitration, The demands are reasonable and the mem- of Assembly No, 9299 will never sub- mit to arbitrate their rights as honest workmen away. It isunreasonable to ask such a thing and the union will never submit to it. The assembly has iad u good offer, to urt a co-operative shop by one of 'the ost firms east, and if such a thing should be déne, they would and could control all first class work in Omaha and kn-u;lv wvery union mun employed. Thig will be the last resort. Press COMMITTLE. NO AGREEMENT I D, The Master Painters’ association held A meeting last night at their rooms on Sixteenth street, when a deputation from the executive board of the Knights of Labor, consisting of Messrs. W. O, Holden, chairman of the board, and M. E. Johnston were present for the purpose of hearing any proposition with regard to a settlement of the pending dispute. A preliminary objection was made by Mr. E. G, Ryley. president of the master's association, to the admission of the press, which was overruled by the unanimous vote of the other gentlemen present. Mr. Ryley then retired and Mr. 8. A. Costers, vice president, was called to the chair. The chairman requested the depu- tation to bring before the meeting any proposition which they wished to have submitted for the consideration of the masters’ association. Mr. Holden replied that he was not present to make any proposition, but to hear the views of the masters. Lhe sccretary was then re- quested to read a resolution vassed at the st last meeting of the Master Paint- ers’ Association, which has already been published in the Be and was to the effect thal the master’s association would have nothing to do with the irresponsible and urreasonable society known s the Painters’ union and would accept no dictation whatever from any union or assembly in regard to what men they should or should not employ. The secretary was also requested toread another resolution passed at last night's meeting of the association which was as follows: hat we refuse to consider any agreement in opposition to what was passed at the previous meeting.' These resolutions having been read Mr. Holden stated that there was no further meoessity for discussion, and the deputa- tion retired. While no dufinite action was taken last night by the nnion workmen, subse- quent to the meeting referred to above, it is understood that an order will be issued by the state executive boari for the men to go to work in all shops em- ploying only union men. It is also in contemplation to form a co-operative as- sociation among the men for the purpose of contracting for work and carrying on business independent of the masters. CONTRACTOR'S ORGANIZATION. A Meeting to Form a Protective Asso- clation, A largoly attended meeting of the con- tractors of the city was held yesterday afternoon at Clark’s hall for the purpose of organizing & protective association. W. Coots was electod temporary presi- dent and T. J. Beard secretary. Seyeral speakers addressed the meeting and dwelt upon the importance of contractors i every branch of trade combining for the purpose of mutual self protection. A conservative spirit was manifested throughout that the association was not forn for the purpose of downing being th union men or to lower the rates of wnges, but to adopt such means as would be considered expedient to prevent the frequent recurrence of strikes. The pub- Lic had been put to considerable incon- venience through the instability of exist- ing arrangements between the contrao- tors and their employes, and the sooner the relative positions of both classes were placed on a more solid basis the better it would be for the public interest as well as for the masters and men, It was re- solved that the association should be known as “The Building Contractors’ Protective Association.” Committees were appointed from each branch of trade for the purpose of notifying those not present that & meeting would be held this afternoon at Clark’s nall at 3 o'clock, when all master brickmakers and layers, carpenter: ors, archi- tects. plumbers, st ironwork- ers, stonecutters and the various me- chanical trades which employ labor are to be invited to be present and assist in the organization, NGE TO COURT.

President Cleveland has been in oftice a little over two and although his own party has charged that under his beniticent sway the good old democratic maxim that to the victors belong the spoils had fallen into innocuous dessuetude, the record does not bear out the assertion, A table recently compiled by a demo- crat and published in the New York Tri- bune shows that fully nine-tenths of all the oflices at the president’s disposal have been filled by turning out republicans and putting democrats in their places, and that inalarge majority of cases Cleveland has entirely disregarded hi mposed test of offensive partisan- ship,as well us consideration for the good of the public service, and has been actu- ated solely by one motive, that of reward- ing democratic partisans. It will be interesting to refer to some of the figures in the compilation to which 09 allusion has been made. Out of 52, fourth class postmaste Cleveland ha appointed 45,000; of foreign ministers, he has appointed 32 out of u possibie 33; col- lectors of eustoms, 100 out of 111; sur- ors of customs,33 out of 33; collectors nternul revenue, 84 out of 85; sui veyor generals, a elean sweep, 16 out of 16; local land ofticers, 190 out of 224, Indian agents, 51 out of 59; territorial governors, 9 out of 9, These by no means complete the list, but are given as sumples, and the list makes no mention at all of heads of bureaus or divisions in the executive de- partments, United States circait or di: trict judges, confidéntial clerks, private secretaries and a vagiety of other officers. The list as made up.covers about 48,000 appointments made by a civil service r form president in two years, which go to show that though Cleveland may seem slow to some hungry democrats, and though he may hayé clipped his own wings by rash promises to the mug- wumps, he gets there just the same. But why do not tag George William Curtis’ worshipers complain of this ac- tion of Cleveland’sy” Simply because he threw them a sop by retaininga few men who were the pets of thispolitical-perfec- tionist crowd,and so they keep a discreet gllence as to the doings of their idol. Having kept in office a half a dozen ofli- cials whom the mugwumps favored, nd could do as he pleased after that. They had crowned him with the diadem of their approbation, and thence- forth their km%,cnulll do no wrong. But suppose by a turn of the wheel the republican party should come into power at the next election and a republican president should follow Cleveland's ecx- ample? The welkin would resound with mugwump shrieks and howls, and the blue empyrean would re-echo their moureful wails over the decadence of the republic and the dire destruction wrought to the great principles of civil serviee re- form. And the end is not yet. Cleveland has two years more to serve, and by the end of histerm a republican in a federal oftice will be harder to find than a con- science in a democratic congressman or consistency in & mugwump. e Her Summer Clothes.

Splendid Enterprise of a San Franoisco Firm, Hydraulio Maohinery Which Lifts a Huge Steamship Like a Toy. The Necessity of Voyages to East- ern Bhipyards for Repairs Obviated. San Francisco Call, June 16: For some months past the Union Ironworks have been engaged in building a great hydraulic dock at their establishment on the Potrero, from designs prepared by George W, Dickie, one of the proprictors of the works. The dock, which is now completed, was built under the designer's supervision, and is considered the great- est attempt to utilize hydraulic power on the continent. Its successful operation and completion inaugurates a new cra in shipping industries on this coast, nd 1ds another laurel to the muny achieved by this establishment. One Friday June 10, the unloaded plungers of the great dock were moved up and down to test the machinery. After a day of testing and proving the workmanship the ropes were }uu in place, and on Saturday the platform raised and lowered. All proving satis- factory, everything was adjusted and pormanently sccured. Monday, the 14th, the platform was lowcered sufli- ciently to complete the riveting along the top of the wain girders, which could not be done while the plutform rested on the chocks. Tuesday this was com- pleted, and the great platform lowered to the bottom. A SUCCESSFUL TEST Yesterday morning a test was made of the new dock, which was successtul in every respect. At 630 a. m.a party escorted by James W, Hart, man: ger of the Ship-owners' and Merchants’ tug. boat company, and consisting of G. \V, Prescott, Mrs. Prescott, Captain and Mrs. J. W. Knowles, Balfour, Mrs. Taft, Miss Graves, Miss Scott, J. O'B, J. Swift, B. Hayden, and oner, Walker and Alexander, went to the Union ironworks, on tie tug King, from Washington strect irf. When they arrived there they found the stecl steamer Arago placed in position ready to go on the dock. Work was nt once commenced and in two hours and five minutes the steamer was hfted on the dock on a level with the wharf. The test proved the dock suflicient for the work for which it was designed, and complete in the smallest detml. 1t is now possible for the largest ocenn steam- ers to be lifted from the water to the level of the land here in San Frane Vessels |vlymf!, the waters of the Pacific ocean will no longer be compelled to sail thousands of miles to reach Atlantic ports where great docks are located, 3 A MIGHTY LIFT, In this new method of lift g ships }ho vessel is floated over a submerged plat- form, and by hydraulic pressure the plat- form’ bearing the ship 15 raised above the face of the water. following purticulars in regard to the new dock wiil prove interesting: The total length of the great platform is 450 , width 66 feet, composed of 86 steel transverse girders, 6 feet 4 inches deep, with top and bottom riders 24 inches wnxe and 11nch thick,connected with two con- tinuous fore aud aft girders at the sides each 5 feet decp, and three intercostal girders_running the full length of the doc The platform is planked between the girders, making a smooth and dry working floor over the entire surface, Upon the transverse girders are arranged ln‘g(- blocks, made of laurel und hetd” m place with bronze clamps supplied with ratchets, and mgging to move the pawls and place the bilge blocks in position, The keel blocks are also of laurel, tirmly fastened in place and supplied with dogs and appliances to adjust same to height required e platform with its appurte- nances is lifted with 36 hydraulic’ cylin- ders, 18 on each side, one opposite each end of the transverse girders; each cylin- der contains a plunger with a vertical movement of 15 feet, with a lifting power of 8,000 tons, more than suflicient to lift the largest vesselin these waters. THE SUPPORTING PIERS. The hydraulic eylinders are supported by seventy-two piers, each contamming seven piles fourteen inches in diameter and 100 feet long. The piles of each pier are encased in a steel caisson fifty inches diameter and thirty feet long, reaching from below the mud line to low water. These piers are capped with cast-iron covers, which carry the girders of the frame upon which” the hydranlic cylin- ders rest. On top of each plunger a sheave is carried, 6 feet 4 inches diam- eter, and grooved tor eight steel ropes two inches diameter. One end of these ropes fastens to the transverse girders, and the other to the castings, forming the base of the hydraulic cylinders. There are 288 of these ropes, each two inches diameter and forty-four feet long, The thirty-six plungers are lifted by hydraulic power. ~The simultaneous motion of each is maintained by a differ- ential valve motion. The inlet valve is operated by the rotation of & screw, and the outlet by the motion of the plunger. SAFETY VALVES. They are compelled to move in unison. Slmulg the plunger move faster than the nut on the screw it opeas the outlet valve. Should the screw wmove faster than the plunger it opens the inlet valve. The screws are operated by a pair of reversible engines. The water pressure is maintained by a air of vertical engines of twelve-inch iameter, sixteen-inch stroke, making 120 revolations. The stenm furnished is regulated by the operation of the ac- cumulator, which cuts off the steam from the engines when up and opens it when down, and is entirely automatic, These engines are geared to four pumps, each four and a half inch diameter and three- foot stroke, and making twenty revolu- tions per minute. The weights upon the accumulator are graduated so as to snit the weight of vessel to b ised, When the platform is lifted with its load seven- ty-two massive steel chocl operated by hydraulic power, slide into place as an additional guarantee that no aceident can oceur. These ehocks work in harmon with the plungers,a pressure being main- tained at all times on_thew when the dock is being usad. This dock diff from what is known as graving docks, as it only has to perform work equal to the exact load to be lifted, while in a graving dock the smaller the vessel the more it costs to dock the sume, as more water has to be pumped out of the dock. The bottom of the working platform being level with the wharf when the dock | is working, all material can be taken in | and raised to place without the trouble | of beiug first lowered. | ~ OLD IRON, |- Copper, Brass, Lead, Zinc, Etc Willpay good prices.
