His First Business Venture Was the Digging and Selling of IIorse-Ttarilsh Eoots. Bpeclal to the Imlianapolls Journal. Washington, April 7. Senator Stanford was telling, tho other day, how he earned his first money and laid the foundation of his fortune, and, strange to say, it was in selling horse-radish roots. He wa9 quite a boy at that time, thirteen or fourteen years old, and lived with his father in the Mohawk valley, on a farm a few miles from Schenectady. After school hours he used to dig horse-radish roots, which the hired man carried to market every week and sold. Mr. Stanford taid he often made as much as 10 shillings a week in this manner; but.thc great enterprise of his youth was in cutting down a field of timber and hauling the logs to tho naw-mili. This he did one winter, and collected several hundred dollars, with which he paid for his lectures at the Albany Law School. MINOR MATTERS. Talk About an Inquiry as to Responsibility for the Samoan Disaster. WASnuGTOX, April 7. During tho past week there has been considerable talk in naval circles about the responsibility for the recent disaster at Samoa. A number of the most pronounced disciplinarians of tho service are not slow to condemn the action of Admiral Kimberly in allowing the vessels to be caught in such a storm without using some precautionary measures. This was the 6eason of the year when hurricanes and tidal waves might be looked for, and the sailing directions plainly state this fact. Many officers think, and especially since the story of the escape of the British steamer Calliope, that there is sure to bean investigation by a court of inquiry. The loss of life and ships will have to be inquired into. If there was coal enough to get up steam on the ships, it was, they say. Admiral Kimberly's duty to have tired up and run out of the harbor, as the commander of the Calliope did, and thn ride out the gale. If it is found there was no coal, then the cause for thist state of affairs should be inquired into and the responsibility fixed where it belongs. There May Be a Duel. Epecial to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, April 7. If there is not a lesort to the "field of honor" by R. A. Sprague, the Indianapolis lawyer, who was charged, the other day, with being an officebroker, and Jay F. Durham, the correspondent of the Louisville Courier-Journal, who made the charge that Spraguo offered to secure the appointment of a pension agent at Louisville for $300, it will not be because at least one of the gentlemen concerned is not willing. Durham publishes a card to-day, in which he says that Sprague made the proposition to him, and that nis IDurhanvsl object in talking to Sprague was to learn the hitter's business and expose him. He winds up his card by declaring that Sprague is a "fraud and a pretender." It is a question of veracity between the two men, and there are threats of "a resort to arms." Durham's friends eay ho wants to fight. Positions for Colored Men. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. Washington, April 7. II. P. Cheatham, of North Carolina, who is the only colored member of the Fifty-first Congress, is here with ex-Congressman Smalls, of South Carolina, and the two men are taking an activo part in securing appointments for the colored people of the South. They report that their success so far has been confined almost exclusively to the railway-mail service, and minor positions in the departments. They do not believe that it is the intention of President Harrison to appoint many postmasters, collectors and other officers in the South from the colored ranks on account of the deep prejudice against the race on the part of the white Democrats. They say the administration can recognize the colored race quite as liberally and not put them into executive positions. Commissioner Tanner's Methods. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington. April 7. Corporal Tanner, the new Commissioner of Pensions, is receiving loud praiso for tho democratic manner in which he conducts his office. The doors are always open to the public, and he personally hears the statements of the applicants, and in their presence directs action. The Corporal suffers untold ;iony a portion of his time from the condition of the stumps of his legs, but he is showing great patience, as well as remarkable liberality, toward the unfortunates who have to apply for public aid. The CJ on -Boat Yorktown. Washington, April 7. The now steel gun-boat Yorktown will be put in commission on Wednesday. Commander F. E. Chadwick, who has been naval attache at the American legation in London for tho past seven years, has been ordered to command of the ship.

LABOR UNION DYNAMITERS

Stevenson Brewery Explosion Traced Down and the Perpetrators Arrested. They Prove to Be the Executive Committee of a Labor Union, and the Information Is Famished by an i-Walking Delegate. New York, April 7. Tho explosion, presumably that of a dynamite bomb, which occurred on tho evening of Feb. 8 in the area of David Stevenson's brewery, which occupies the west 6ido of Tenth avenue from Thirty-ninth to Fortieth streets, has been found to bo the work of Labor Union men, four of whom are now in custody at police headquarters. The explosive was placed in an area on the Thirty-ninth-street side, and tore away a largo piece of wall, but the solidity of the masonry prevented extensive damage. By tho arrest of tho perpetrators Inspector Byrnes got to the bottom of the crime, and one of the four men he has in charge has confessed his complicity with and told of the guilt of the other three. The informer is Henry A. Fitz gerald, formerly walking delegate of the Ale and Porter Brewery Employes Protective Association, who compose Local As sembly 8S90, embraced in D. A, 49, K. of L. Tho men whom he implicates in his con fession, and who are in custody, are John O'Connell, president of the local assembly; Patrick F. Close and Thomas Reardon, members of the executive committee of the local assembly. O'Connell was president of the executive committee, and reduced its members from nine to five when he undertook to bring Stevenson to terms, he having discharged all union men and refused to re-employ any but thoso who severed their connection with the union. The four prisoners constituted the executive committee at the time of the explosion. According to the story gathered from the informers statement, this committee went about to invent some 6cheme whereby Stevenson would be made to recognize the union by re-employing its members and discharging the scab workingmen. The first plan approved of by the committee was to send union men to tho brewery to apply for work, and state that they were not attached to the union, ine men who might secure employment under this disguise were to place grease in tho beer and ale vats whenever an opportunity offered, and in this way destroy the brew. Several applicants, thus advised, visited the brewery, but were not given employ ment. At a subsequent meeting of the ex ecutive committee it was determined to appropriate $50 to continue the fight against Stevenson. The union ratified this action. Now, the conspirators in the executive .i l r i ii.. - committee, maae iunous Dy tno laimre ot their first attempt, conceived tho plan to blow un tho brewery. Keardon and Closo were delegated to sco a person whose name, though in possession of the police, is withheld, lor instruction as to the destructive element to be used and tho method in which it should be operated. These two men followed instructions and re ported that they had succeeded in learning all that was necessary in the use of an ex plosive with which they had been provid ed. The engine of destruction, it was planned, should be exploded in the engineroom. The opportunity to reach tho engine-room was not afforded the conspirators, and they became involved in a quarrel among themselves which delayed the use . r a ot tne explosive, in carrying out xue ooycott against tho brewery, Fitzgerald was charged with inactivity, and was threatened with suspension from the position of walking delegate, which yielded him $27.50 a week. He hnally was ordered to bo sus pended, but anticipated the action oy resigning. The explosion followed. Central omco detectives who have been on the case learned, recently, that O'Con nell, who had been succeeded by Keardon as president of the union, stated at a meeting that it was "one thing to blow una brewery ana anoiner to prove it." inspector Byrnes, after securing Fitzgerald's con A . A A. X A fession, took him before the grand jury on rriday, where he repeated his confession. Upon the evidence pre sented the crand mrv found indictments against O'Connell. Keardon and Close, and bench warrants were issued for their ar rest. O'Connell was taken from work in tho Long Island brewery in Brooklyn, last ; 1 1 ' evening, uy ueiecnv serpeanis vou Grichtenand Handy. Ho describes him self as a married man, forty-four years old, and residing at No. 317 Bergen sereet, Brooklyn. Ihe other two. who were ar rested at their homes, are entered on tho police books as Patrick S. Close, forty years old, married, of 341 East Forty-first . t - l l rrtx 1 I street, iew xorK. uuu a nomas xvchiiiuu, thirty-three years, single. S01 West Fortysixth street. The pedigree and residence of the informer is kept concealed by the police. He is at present an inmate of the Houso of Detention, and is held as a wit ness. The case will come up in tho General Sessions Court to-morrow, when the men will be called to plead to indictments charging them withnelony. LABOR INTERESTS. St. Louis Master Builders Say They Will Not Keoognlr the Union. St. Louis, April 7. The Master Builders Association, Division No. 2, held a meeting at Druid Hall last, with President R. W. Morrison in the chair. The chief business transacted is embodied in the following resolutions: "Resolved. That the master builders of St. Iouis, with a view of removing a wronsr impression that may have been made on the public mind, reaffirm the resolutions that we adopted on Feb. 4. which were as follows: Resolved, That we accept as a day's work eight hours from all carpenters in our employ, anu tne rate per day to tne best men, or tne max imum wages, snail be tnirtv-nve cents per hour. Kesolved, That no man shall recognize the Union of tho Journeymen Carpenters as an or ganization, but that we remain free to employ all workmen, whether members of the union or not. In reference to the strike the following resolution was passed: i , This is no fight between the builders and work men for wages or hours, being, as we consider it. an effort of certain outside agitators to compel tne Diuiaers to recognize tne union or Journeymen Carpenters, which constitute a small mem bership of the carpenlers of St. Louis. Tho document was signed bv the names of 108 of the builders and building firms of the city. Ihe striking carpenters have made arrangements lor a parade on Mon day, in order to show tho master builders the number of men now in the ranks of tho strikers. Tho striking carpenters to the number of 1,500 met to-day and unanimously decided to contmno tho struggle for recognition of their union. 1 hey refuse to accent the of fer of the master builders unless this recog nition is accorded. Communications from other labor organizations were read, profienng sympatuy ana support. Want Nine Hours Work and Ten Ilours ray. Salem, Mass., April 7. The carpenters will to-morrow morning inaugurate a gen eral strike for nine hours as a day's work. The Carpenters' Union, on Jan. 1, notified the bosses that on April 1 they would de mand nine hours as a day's work, and on Monday the men began working nine hours again. Last evening, on receiving their nav. they found that they had been docked one hour each, and a strike was iin mediately ordered. Ilorrible Death of a Helpless Old Woman. Stkuuenville. ().. April 7. Bridget. widow of the late William Kelly, living in a small house between here and Alikanna, was burned to death last evening. .She was about eighty years of ace. feeble and childish. Her grand-daughter left her alone to come into town. Patsy Powers, a boy, saw smoke issuing from the windows and gave tho alarm. Eugene iialvin and some men from the Alikanna mill went in side, where they found the poor old lady lying on the floor, with Her feet close to tho fire-place, and her body burned brown and to a crisp. Her clothing and hair were burned oil. The stench was sickening. The rag carpet was burned and smoldering around her for some distance. Tho cloth upon tho table, where she had evidently attempted to get her 6upner together, was burning. When they took hold and carclully lifted her ripon the bed. their hands stuck to her burn; ilesh. and vet she was alive and moaning, living for an hour in terrible

suffering. It is a strange coincidence that her married daughter, a Mrs. Yocum, was burned to death in the same house a few years ago. THE FIRE RECORD.

Burning of the Extensive Shovel, Ax and Saw Factories of II aboard & Co. Pittsburg, April 7. The extensive ax, shovel and saw factories of Hubbard &. Co., located at the foot of Forty-eighth street, were destroyed by fire this morning, entailing a loss of fully a half million dol lars. The fire was discovered in the shovel factory about 10:30 o'clock this morning. and spread so rapidly that in twenty minutes after tho fire department arrived the four immense buildings were in flames. Ihe two main buildings were each S2G long by 60 feet wide, and the other two buildings formed an "L," each being about 150 feet long and CO feet wide. The buildings wero all frame, and, being more or less saturated with grease, burned with such rapidity that the most heroic efforts put forth by the firemen failed to check the fire in the least, and in less than two hours and a half the entiro plant, with its valuable machinery and stock, was a mass of ruins. Only a small section of what had been used as tho ollico was left standing, and this was so badly scorched and damaged that it was in dan ger of falling at any moment. Ihe wind was blowing a still breeze, and it was feared the adjoining foundry of McConway. Torley & Co. would go also, but after a nooie ugnt tne nremen savea it ana prevented tho flames from spreading further. Mr. Hubbard states that the loss on tho buildings, machinery and stock will be fully S500.000. and that it is nearly covered by insurance, but in what companies ho could not 6tate, as the insurance was placed by a local agency. Mr. Murphy, the general manager, stated there was an immense stock of goods on hand. which had been piled up during the winter, . Decause ot alack of orders, and that 'Jou dozen of axes were boxed for shipment to morrow morning. The firm emnloyed STjO men, who will be thrown out of employ ment pending the rebuildine of the plant. which will be dono immediately. Tho large plant of the firm at Beaver Falls will also be forced to close down, as the stock for the ax factory there is furnished from the works in tnis city. The oriain of the fire is a mystery. Mr. Hubbard stated that . . . , j At no nres were ournmg aoout tno worKS. The Losses at Savannah. Savannah, Ga., April 7. In addit ion to tho property mentioned as burned out by last night's fire in dispatches to the Assodiated Press papers of this morning, four stores running west from Barnard street and facing north on Brought on street, were destroyed. Three of these buildings wero the property of J. D. Weed, and were near ly fully insured. The corner store was occu pied by J. T. Cohen, dealer in general mer chandise, whoso loss is $15,000 to 30,000, with light insurance; G.W.Allen, crockerydealer in the next 6tore, loss $17,000, three-fourths covered by insurance. Corn wall & Chipman'8 stock of stoves and household furnishing goods, in the next store, was completely destroyed. Lindsay & Morgan, furniture-dealers, in the next store, had a stock valued at $5o,000, and carried insurance oi about three-fourths that amount. Tho building was occupied by the last-named farm and was owned by tne estate of Edward LovelL The total number of buildings burned is estimated at 50. The nresent nrosnect is that the larger and finer ones will be replaced by new ones equally as good as those destroyed. The sites of many of the inferior structures now gone will bo covered by buildings that will be a great improvement over the old ones. The loss of the Independent Presbyterian Church and chapel, the Guards7 armory, the Odd-fellows' building, the Haintley building and the Hogan fc Douglas block. however, are greatly to be regretted.

Tho details of the killing of Bill Moran, the terror of the FlatTop coal region, which occurred last Tuesday, at a point about twenty miles from Pocahontas, in Bramwell county, Virginia, 6hows the fight which ended in tho death of the outlaw to hayo been one of tho most exciting and desperate ever known iu this part of tho country. Moran has for a year past been a veritable terror to the peoplo along the border between tho two States, and for the past threo months he has been especially obnoxious, openly defying the authorities, running things pretty much as he pleased, , and declaring at every opportunity that ho would never bo taken alive. Ho kept his word in tfcat particular, only giving up tho ghost after ho had been pierced by a dozen revolver balls, and fighting to tho last, although confronted by three armed men. The particular circumstance which led up to the killing of Moran dates back about two weeks. At that time he got on a big orunk at it alls Mills, w. Va., shot into tho depot several times, obliging the occupants to lie for their lives; broke out tho windows, threw the switch-lamps into tho river, and promised to kill anyone ollering A 4 A 1 - T . 1 - to lntenere witn mm. lie was let aiono ior the time being, but the railroad people determined to put an end to such outlawry, and sent for detective Baldwin. Baldwin swore out a warrant for Moran and started in search of him, March 81, accompanied by detectives Wallace ird Robinson. They located him in Tazewell county, Virginia, Monday night last, and the following morning, about 5 o'clock, the officers went to tho house where he was hidden. Baldwin went up to the door and asked for a drink of water, and Wallace and Kobinson coming up about the same time, Baldwin 6aid: He's here: I'll make a break for him. and you two follow quick." Baldwin at once sprang through the door into one of tho two rooms, and seeing a man in bed in one corner supposed it was Moran, and called to him to surrender. Just then Moran appeared at the door of the other room and fired two shots at Baldwin, one passing through his coat on a line with his heart, and tho other striking him in the arm, near thewrist, By this time Wallace and Kobinson were in tho house, and the firing becamo general. Wallace went down with one shot in the month and rwo in his right arm, and Kobinson fired five shots at the outlaw, when his pistol was knocked from his hand by a bullet which cut off one of his fingers. A woman in the house also fired five shots at Moran and then fainted. Moran shot all tho cartridces from his two revolvers and then fell, lie died in two minutes, and when examined, twelve wounds were found on him, six being in his body. The threo detectives received eignt balL allace is lying at the point of death at a house near the scene of the shooting, and Baldwin rode twenty miles for a doctor for him before he would have his own wounds dressed. Moran never spoke after the firing began. There is general satisfaction at his death. EASTER GIFTS. Dainty Trifles Suitable for Rememberanccs On the Occasion. New England Farmer. In this nineteenth century the observance of all holidays, aud giving of little gifts to commemorate the day, has become a uni versal practice. And as each year brings faster bunday wo try to find eometniug pretty and suitable to the occasion. Although a card is but a trille, it is many times prized far above its intrinsic value, on account of the association, and the work being done by the hand of the giver, with kind wishes attending it. Those who can Eamt have unlimited resources, if tuey ave original ideas to carry out. Spring flowers, butterflies, eggs, crosses, and even landscapes can be used with artistic results and make lovely Easter cards. There aro many novel shapes and designs for theso cards, and a number of dili'eient materials may be used for them. Heavy water-color nanrr. nee paper. parchment, celluloid, and the ragged-edged cards are all used with good ehect. Cut tho water-color paper into a squaro card, and make the edges ragged and gild them. Cut another card from tho celluloid, tie it at tho corner to the paper with a tiny ribbon bow. Bring tlio comer oi the largci card over and tie to the corner of the cellu loid card with tho same ribbon. The papei must not bo pressed down, but allowed to roll over. On the celluloid paint an Eastei design, and an Easter motto in fancy letterins: on the card paper. There are several fancy shapes in which these cards can b folded, but 1 cannot tell you how to fold them without an illustration. A prettylcelluloid card is madeby cutting a piece four or five inches long and two of three wide, then cutting a slit in each end and drawipg a ribbon through, and, fringintr both ends of the ribbon, paint a spray oi flowers ou tho card and a motto on the ril bon. These aro pretty for book-markia Another style is a spray of pansies across p card, to come above and below tho caret Cut out all around the flowers and carCj put the motto on the card. Nedle-booki and pen-wipers are made in the shap of nq egg, the covers being of celluloid, the leave of chamois-skin or white flannel. A spray of flowers and motto is painted on the outside. Tie tho leaves togetherwith a ribbon. Acute little card is cut in the shape of an egg. Cut in this a little slit, then cut a chicken's head and put up through tho slit. Paint tho head as much like a chicken af possible, and you have a dainty little Easter egg. A whole chicken maybe cut from celluloid, painted and tied to a velvet or satin card by a tiny ribbon around its neck, and if you wish something very uico you can add a broken eirg-shell cut from the celluloid. Little birds mounted on branches are very pretty to paint on Easter cards; also buterflies. m Abird'snest and eggs painted on porcelain or ground glass, with branches of pussywillows is verv pretty and collective. A card may ho made in the tdiape of a dove's wing, and painted to represent ono on the outride, nnd inside may be ticnl several leaves on which is Easter poetry. Iioth Confnfted. Time.
