While this was going on the rest of the gang was to rob the express car and the passengers.

WORKMEN IN CONVENTION

Annual Meeting at Detroit of tho American Federation of Labor, President Gompers's Review of the 1 ear's Worker the Organization Miners to Demand an EighMlour Day Next 3Jay. - Detroit, Dec. a Some eighty delegates of the American Federation of !bor were assembled in Clawson's Hall, this morning, when President Gompers called the convention to order, shortly after 11 o'clock. The delegates were welcomed to tho city by the President of the Board of Aldermen, in the absence of the Mayor, and President Gompers, of the federation, responded for the delegates. After these ceremonies the convention took a recess. President Gompers, in his annual address, will advise tho convention to avoid controversial questions, and to concentrate their efforts upon such issues as the members are most agreed on. That such a course is best is evidenced by tbe success of the eighthour movement since the last convention. The agitation for that reform has been successful in 1S7 cities and has benefited 46,197 workmen in the carpenters1 trade, besides countless others in otber branches of the building trade. The demand for an eight-hour day will be made by otber trades lu series, and its final success cannot bequestioned. The next industry to make tbe demand will be the coalminers. They will move May 1, 1891. During the year the federation has established 274 local branches, and the National Tradesunion reportsU13 local branches established. Existing branches have increased from 5 to S5 per cent. in membership. The address declares in favor of the system of national unions of individual trades. During the year 1,163 authorized strikes have taken place. Of these US9 succeeded. 70 failed aud 1)8 were compromised. Besides many concessions were gained without resort to strikes. The people who propose a strike are warned that bluster will not win, and that they must be prepared for whatever cattle they propose. Ihe federation is not always able to assist strikes financially. President Gompers refers in commendation to tbe project of an international labor congress in 1&&, to be coincident with the world's fair; demands tho enforcement of the eight-hour law in government work; asks for a stringent federal alien contractlabor law; suggests the extended observance of Labor day as an annual holiday; warns against child labor, and declares for an international copyright and ballot reform. President Gompers meets the charge of excluding Socialists by denying that he has ever tried to exclude any one for his economic opinions, and insists that the only requisite to the trades-union movement is good standing in a local union. When the committee on credentials went into session. President Gompers appeared before them to object to receiving any papers from the delegates appearing from the Central Labor Federation of New Kork. The committee decided not to receive the credentials of the delegates, but it was amicably concluded to permit the Socialists to present their case to the convention aud allow the body to decide it While the convention was awaiting the report of tho committee on credentials, Frank F. Foster, of Massachusetts, talked on the splendid progress of the trades-unions in New England. Adam Menzies, of Denver, said the organization in that region was above par. The battle was continuous between unionists and non-unionists in the far West, the latter pouring in from the East, and difficulty was found among the miners and the coal miners of that region in attempts to organize in the opposition of the mine-owners. The committee on credentials reported at this point, and after the reading of their report the convention adjourned until to-morrow, after having appointed the various committees. Several important matters are to come before the convention, the most important of which is the selection of a trade to make tbe fight next spring forthe eighthour day. The miners are likely to be selected, as they have already decided .to make the demand May 1 next ? 1 m DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Local Forecasts.

At the City Hospital, which has been designated, as the central station for Koch's methtbod tbe director. Dr. Guttman, has set apart ninety beds for cases to be treated by inoculations, and Dr. Koch comes there persona lly to witness the results. Very exaot graphical records are kept, showing the various symtoms of the stage of reaction and also of the number of tubercle bacilli in the expectoration, which is examined daily by Professor Ehrlich, who has taken charge of the bacteriological laboratory. There Dr. CJuttnian demonstrates a great many cases daily and his observations coincide with those of Professors Gerhardt and Ewald in every particular. From all this it may be seen that the stateof affairs concerning this work and its clinical features is simply that of gradual accumulation of experience and kuowledge, and tbe opinion is here very general that visiting physicians will be able to learn aud see much more three or four months hence than at the present time. Patienta certainly should be discouraged from coming here, especially siuce in a verv short time the treatment will be carried out in American institutions, but, above all, because nothing is as yet certain or settled as to results. IIow Animals Die. That beasts and birds go aide from their comrades to sutler the extreme trials of doath is a pathetic fact not generally known. Whales come ashore when they feel ill. so that the waves may dash ont the life that is fast ebbing away deliberate caees of suicide, you will say. Sometimes, no doubt, their friends desert them. The healthy ones may feel that the companionship of an enfeebled individual is a possible source of danger. Or. it may be tbat the sight of death is intolerable to them, jnst as it has been to many hnman races, whatever the explanation, tho fact remains that in the

animal world, as a rule, creatures go away and die by themselves. Tbe denizens of tbe water commit wbat might be called suicido by leaving their own elements for one in which they cannot exist. SOME NEW ROOKS. Messrs. Dodd. Mead & Co., New York, have commenced anew series of publications which they call the Giunta series (pronounced Joonta) after the great printers of the classics, the father and son Giunta, whose presses were established at Florence, Venice and Geneva in the early

part of the sixteenth century, and whose issues attained wide celebrity lor their excellence. The series will contain modern classics either of English authorship or translated lrom other tongues. The type from which the plates are made has been imported from France especially for this series, and the sheets are printed by Messrs. John Wilson & Son, at the University Press, Cambridge. The books are therefore models of form and execution, and are bound in a light bluff cloth with a delicate ornamentation. The volumes now issued are "Four Frenchwomen," by Austin Dobson.

The death of John Ericsson, tho cel brated scientist and inventor, and tho graceful return of his remains by this government to his native country, is followed by the prompt appearance of his biography. The "Life of John Ericsson." by William Conant Church, tells tho story of a very remarkable career. It was the declared wish of Ericsson that Mr. Church should write his biography, and the executors of Ericsson's estate placed all his letters and papers in the author' a hands. He had, besides, other facilities for acquiring the fullest knowledge of tbe subject, and the result is a very complete and interesting work. The story of such a life and career as that of Ericsson and of the development and growth of such an intellect could not fail to be interesting and instructive, and in this case all the elements of interest are brought out. Ericsson was not merely one of the greatest mathematicians and inventors of modern times, he was also one of the noblest characters of which we have any record. The story of bis life is a valuable addition to biographical literature. It makes two large, handsome volumes; price, 0. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons; Indianapolis: Bowen-Merrill Company. A splendid book for boys and an interesting one' for adult readers, as well, is 'Battle-fields and Camp-fires," by Willis J. Abbot, author of "Blue-jackets of ;61," "Battle-fields of 'Gl," etc The author's war histories have provod very popular among young readers. This one is a narrative of the principal military operations of the civil war, from the removal of McClellan..in 1SC2. to the accession of Grant, in lbG3.t In telling the story of this period the author has confined himself to describing the chief battles, with only a brief survey of the strategy, maneuvers and minor engagements leading up to them. In other words, he describes the salient features of tbe war without going into such side details as would only impede , the course of the narrative. The narrative aims to be historically accurate, and is full of interest The author has a graphic style, and the book is one that ought to be read by every young American. It is copiously illustrated by W. C. Jackson, and the illustrations are particularly good. Cloth, 3. New York: Dodd, Mead & Co.; Indiauapolis: Dowen-Merrill Company. "Wanneta, the Sioux," by Warren K. Moorhead, is an attempt to put in the form of a connected narrative a, considerable maoi 'information historical, ethnological, etc., concerning the Sioux Indians. The author is connected with tbe Smithsonian Institution at Washington, and has been.in a position to acquire considerable curious knowledge concerning Indian customs, modes of life, modes of warfare, etc. This book does not indicate any -personal experience among the Indians, but it is a good compilation from other sources. Some of the incidents are historic, and there is 8. thread of Indian romance whioh is noc without interest. The illustrations, from photographs in the possession of the Smithsonian Institution, are realistic and interesting. Cloth, 2. New York: Dodd, Mead & Co.; Indianapolis: Bowen-Merrill Company. "Maroussia," a novel, translated from the French of P. J. Stahl, has for its background the stormy scenes of the defense of Ukraine by the Russians. In this scene of violence and bloodshed a sweet and simple child is a central figure. The story was, on its appearance, crowned by the French Acadeniy. and is ucsd to-day by the French government as a prize in the schools. The author writes of a country which he must have known well, for his description of its mountains, its valleys, its endless steppes, like oceans of verdure, bring it very vividly before ns. His pictures of the peasantry, their simble dignity, iheir peculiar costumes, their mode of life and thought, their dariug and courage, all go to make up a frosh and original story. Cloth, 1. New York: Dodd, Mead & Co.; Indianapolis: Bowen-Merrill Company. "Desiree, Qneen of Sweden and Norway," translated from the French of Baron Hochschild, by Mrs. M. Cary, is an interesting sketch of a woman who held a conspicuous place in Europe about the beginning of this century.

The author of this work was attached to her court while 6he was Queen of 8weden and Norway, and much of his information con cerning her life and career came fron original sources. The book is issued in a ;- tractive style by Dodd. Mead & Co., New York. Cloth, S 1 .25. Indianapolis: BowenMerrill Company.

It embraces a series of papers begun in March, 1SS8. suspended for some time and. finished in lb90. It would be useless to attempt to describe tbeir peculiarities depict their merits; as well attempt to describe the aroma of rare perfume or the tones of sweet music.

Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward and Herbert D. Ward, is a reverent attempt to utilize in the form of fiction some of the characters and incidents of sacred history.

Cultivators do not agree as to the propriety of burning the old and dead leaves of strawberry plantations when it is intended for them to bear another crop. One successful strawberry-raiser states that the plants grow up again sooner and with more vigor after the burning. He thinks it causes the soil to "mellow up" and hold moisture better where it has been trodden by pickers, and weed seeds and insects are destroyed. Half-rotted straw was used as a mulch, and all this rubbish was handsomely cleared off. No immediate cultivation was required. But other cultivators object to the praotice. believing that the fire checks the future growth, and that the benefit derive;' from the ashes is not equal to that obtained from tl;9 decaying vegetable matter.
