The Cronin murder is likely to lead to a general war among the revolutionary Irish societies and if it results in the downfall of all of them no one whose good opinion is of any account' will be displeased. All of us want home rule for Ireland, relief from the despotic rule of the English idea but none of us want murder, conspiracy, plots and counterplots of notoriety-seek-ing "deliverers" smearing our own country with diabolical crimes. If the Cronin murder is apart of the work of the secret Irish factions, we say a plague on all their factions.

A Plot for the Delivery of Couvicts.

JERSEY CITY, N. J., May 24.—Warden John Grimes, of the Hudson county penitentiary, at Snakehlll, this morning unearthed a plot for a general delivery of the convicts confined in that institution. The attention of Deputy Wardens Voltera and Clark was attracted by suspicious conferences of five long-term prisoners, named Butler, Karmanhaus, Kelliher, Connelly and Bridell. They reported the case to Warden Grimes, who ordered a rigorous search of the cells to be made. In the cells occupied by the convicts named were discovered nineteen files, six knjves, five saws, ten drills, a pair of compasses and other articles. The files were smuggled into the prison from the outside, and the other tools were made by a convict blacksmith now at liberty. The five convicts were brought in from the quarries and searched. A set of keys made of lead found in Butler's pockets would have readily opened the doors of the cells and that of the corridor. The conspirators undoubtedly intended to overthrow the guard at night and escape to the Hackensack meadows.

Two hundred and fifty thousand miners in England have demanded a 10 per cent, increase in wages.

Owing to the miners' strike in Illinois the glass works at Streator, Ottaway and Bock Island have shut down.

The labor inspection bill passed the Illinois house by an almost unanimous vote, there being but five in the negative.

From interest manifested at the present time, it is safe to prediot that the eight-hour demonstration on July 4, at Indianapolis, will be a complete success.

Within several years Chicago workmen have gained these concessions: Bricklayers have had their hours reduced from ten to eight, and their wages increased from $1.50 and S2.25 to $3.50 and §4 carpenters from ten hours and 82 to eight hours and $250 to 83 50 painters from as low as $1 and ten hours to §2.25 and eight hours.

Pennsylvania has a new law providing for the examination of coal miners, with a view to the exclusion of incompetent men from work in the mines. The ignorance and stupidity of many of the men employed are said to be the cause of a great number of the accidents that occur, the recent case of a car being shoved into a shaft, where it caused the death of ten men, being an example in point. The law is a good one both for the protection of life and property.

A general reduction of 10 per cent, has been made in the wages of furnace employes throughout the Shenango valley. The manufacturers claim that they were forced to this by the dull market and low prices. The reduction in wages throughout the {Mahoning valley several months ago was another cause. At Sharpsville, 500 men are affected at Sharon 400, and West Middlesex 308. The men have accepted the reduction^ and the different plants are working steadily. One prominent iron, manufacturer said that it was not a question

He sat down, drew out his pencil and day book, and, carefully surveying the distance up to the first squirrel, began: If six grains of powder will move a bullet three inches, how many grains will it take to carry it up to the squirrel, a distance of about thirty feet? made his calculations, put in the required amount of powder, just enough to kill the squirrel and for the bullet not to pass through.

The attorney general was asked about the petition for are hearing. "I don't know anything about it," he said. "I do not know whether the governor really, intends to file such a petition. But I will say I do not think there is any probability of such a petition being greeted. I can not see any grounds for re-opening the case."

Quill'* Bondsmen Weaken*

Tom Quill will probably be surrendered again by his bondsmen, sayB the Indianapolis News. Ben Aldricb, one of them, fears that in case of a mishap, he, like Burton, Sullivan's bondsman, would be left to hold the bag alone.

Other of Quill's bondsmen have means, but some of them own property jointly with their wives. Aldrich was given to understand that prominent men would go on Quill's bond, but they failed to do so. He doesn't like the prospect.

This afternoon late attorneys were consulting with him preparatory to having the bond canceled and Aldrich released. New bondsmen will have to be procured if Quill remains free.

Military Commencement Exercise*. Special to the Indianapolis News.

GREENCASTLF,, Ind., May 24.—To-day the DePauw military commencement was favored by beautiful weather and a large gathering of people.

The governor expressed himself as highly pleased with the competitive drills. He also delivered a brief address at McHarry hall.

Trouble for Gamblers.

NEW YORK, May 24.—The Times' Baltimore special sayB: A week ago the gambling houses of this city, of which there are many, received intimation that the grand jury would investigate them. They closed their doors immediately, intending to wait until the danger passed by. To-day tbey were astounded by further intimations that the grand jury was investigating gambling cases, and throughout the session the rotunda of the court house was thronged with wellknown sporting men, who had been summoned as witnesses. It is understood that many indictments were found. To-night there is general alarm among the gamblers, and the more notorious establishments have been denuded of every sign of trade.

Site Was Flighty of Heart*

NEW YORK, May 24.—The World's Atlanta (Ga.) special sayfr ''Miss Nina Kirby Smith, daughter of General Kirby Smith, the confederate chieftain, at present professor of mathematics at Sewanee university, Tennessee, eloped last night with Student Buck, of the university, and the couple were married by a justice of the peace in Winchester, Tenn. Miss Smith was to have been married next Tuesday to Mr. Boylston, a wholesale merchant of Atlanta."

The Milwaukee Cliinainnn Found Guilty.

MILWAUKEE, May 24.—Sam Yip Jah, one of the Chinamen charged with ravishing little children, and whose arrest some time since led to serious rioting and the demolition of various Chinese laundries, was this morning found guilty. The jury was out only eleven minutes. The penalty for the crime is thirty-five years imprisonment. Hah Ding, ttfe other Chinese prisoner, will now be placed on trial for a similar crime.

There is an old negress in Clarke county, Georgia, who prepares herself for death every night, and this is how sh# does it: After a short prayer she clothes herself in a longrflower-bedecked gown, plaits her hair carefully, crosses her hands on her chest, and falls asleep. Two coppers are placed on the table beside her to put upon her eyelids. She has directed that she be buried on the banks of the Oconee river, and believes that she is going direct to heaven. She is angry beyond expression as she awakes each morning—not having moved a muscle during her sleep—and finds herself alive.

An Easter egg, in the making of which an enthusiastic Geiman patriot has spent no less than six months, has been presented to William II. by a confectioner at Weisbaden. The egg is made of refined sugar, and rests on the head of two white sugar statuettes, representing Prince Bismarck and Count Moltke. On the outside of the shell appears a group of the imperial family, all daintily done in colored sugar, and from the interior of this wonderful egg, whenever a spring is touched, come forth, in the limpid voice of a musical box, the sounds of the German national anthem.

As the Price boys, of Canadensis, Pa, were driving along the road recently, they noticed a 3-year-old girl amusing herself by throwing stones at a huge rattlesnake. They killed the snake and took the liberty of spanking the child. A few days before that Milt Price, when about to go in swimming, jumped onto the ground from a mill window and Btruck within six inches of what he supposed was a long stick. He was considerably surprised when the stick proved to be a black snake considerably longer than he was. Milt was not exactly dressed for a fight with .a snake, but he killed it.

Captain B. S. Carl, aged 73 years, a resident of Pensacola, Fla., for twenty years past, has been at work for the last two years on an American eagle, which he is fashioning out of wood, and which, when completed, he intends to present to the city government. Captain Carl's extreme age prevents constant employment on the work. He expecte, however, to have the bird finished by the 1st of next January. The eagle will stand about four feet high, and will measure from the tip to tip of the wings about six feet. Captain Carl has a picture of a similar work performed by him many years sgo and presented to the city of LaCrosBe, Wis.

The Vienna tramway company came to^a final settlement with its striking drivers on these termB: The working day was fixed at twelve hours, including one free hour for the midday meal, and three classes of wages were agreed on for men who had served (1) more than ten years, (2) more than five years, and (3) less thsn I five years respectively. The highest class is to receive 1 florin 70 kreutzers, or about Bixty-five cents a day the second class 1 florin 60 kreutzers, and the third class 1 florin 50 kreutzers. Deductions will be made for the sick and pension funds, but the driven are to receive full pay for one day of absolute rest out of the seven. The rates of pay for over time work, which is never to be oompul sory will be settled latter. ..
