Preliminary Step Taken Toward nn International Federation. PITTSBURG, June S.-Prellminary steps, with the view of forming an international federation of the window-glass workers of the world have been taken by the American Window-glass Workers Association for the protection of their mutual interest. At the coming convention of the American association, which will meet July 8, in this city, this proposition will probably be one of the most Important to be considered and an alliance with the organized workmen of Relgium and France negotiated. A strike has been in progress in Belgium for several weeks and the American workmen desire to ascertain tho status of the trouble with the object of giving the foreigners financial assistance. Immediate action is urged by many members of the Window-glass Workers' Association, as it is recognized that the defeat of the Belgians will work hardships on tho American workmen and will eventually result la the demoralization of wage rates. Members of the Window-glass Workers Association have urged that money le contributed at once to support the Belgian strikers ir they are in need of it.

VILLA RI) TO BE SUED

MtAYTO IVES AFTER THE EXPI! ESI D EXT OF THE X. P. Lnffer to lie Clvcn Opportunity to Defend Himself Against Serlons Charges Other Railway Xetvs. MILWAUKEE. June 8.-Brayton Ives will shortly come Into court and ask for a hearing on a motion to Instruct the receivers of the Northern Pacific road to sue Henry VUlard for shortages alleged to have been discovered in the Northern Pacific and Manitoba transactions both by Master Cary and by the controller of the company. The motion, if granted, will bring up the former petition, of Ives, in which he asks that the receivers be instructed to bring suit against not only VII-lard.-but Messrs. Colby and Hoyt for alleged Irregularities and illegal manipulations in the transactions of the Cooke City & Rocky Fork and the Northern Pacific & Manitoba branches and the Chicago terminals. The petition, though filed last October, has sever been passed on by the court. It is the intention, it Is stated, to secure an Investigation somewhat similar to that of receiver Oakes, when Villa rd will be given an opportunity to defend himself. This, it is understood, would be favorable to the receivers. The investigation is desired by the company, as it is liable to lead to disclosures of things not now understood by others than Mr. Villard. Falling in the attempt to secure an investigation, Brayton Ives will urge that the receivers bring suit against Villard at once. If the suit is brought there is a probability that it may include all of the counts with which Master Cary charges Villard in his report. The petitions are now under consideration by Col. Silas Pettit. Ives's attorney, who will present tho argument to the court and appear for the company in subsequent processes. O Hirers of the C St. P.. 31. 4V O. ST. PAUL, Minn., June 8.

The Superior Short Line is a proprietary company of the Omaha, so that this transaction Is simply an absorption by the parent company. The Omaha declared a semiannual dividend of CVi per cent, on its preferred stock. Affairs of the X. Y., S. & XV, NEW YORK, June 8. President Simon Berg, of the New York, Susquehanna & Western Railroad Company, stated to-day that he has not resigned his oflice and had not considered such a course. No changes have been made in the board of directors.

R. V. strike, the receipts of the railway, and, consequently of the State therefrom, have Invariably 'been larger from May to Oct. 31 than in the earlier half of the year. There Is. therefore, every reason to expect that the State receipts -will during the current year exceed $Guu.0M), and be greater than In any preceding year, except 1833, when the world's fair brought them up to $753,905.

Rnten Stashed nt Chicago.' CHICAGO, June S. East-bound rates from Chicago have gone to utter smash. Nobody is making the slightest pretense of maintaining rates and prices are pretty much what shippers choose to make them. Grain is openly taken at 15 cents, 5 cents under the agreed tariff, and other reductions are proportionate. The collapse of the money pool has thrown down the last barrier and rates are now in a more demoralized condition than 'they have been for the last five years. The money pool was not much of a help in the maintenance of rates, but it asisted somewhat and now" even the aid that it afforded is gone. Grand Trunk to Tie Reorganised. NEW YORK.

PENNED UP AND DROWNED. .V Pnssenser Story of the Loss of tho Steamship Collnin. SAX FRANCISCO, June 8. Gustav Rowan, one of the survivors of the Colima, has sent a communication to the Call, in which he says: "I want to make a statement now If you will allow me to do so. You can find out what I say Is true If you will see the other men picked up. Some of them will not dare to tell the truth as they have been promised money to keep still. The Collma was lost because she was badly handled by officers without capacity and bad men when tho gale struck us. When I saw that the ship was going to sink. I went aft to the life preservers and commenced to give them cut to the passengers. The steward told me to let them alone and ordered me forward. I was saved because I got a life preserver and If the others had been allowed to get them too. many would have teen saved. The passengers1 were kept penned up until the last moment and then made to go down in the ocean like a pack of dogy. If some of the passengers had killed th steward who kept them from getting life preservers it would have been mercy to the others. In spit of what he told me, I kept on giving out life preserv

ers, and by this saved some of the people from death." , Rowan, who was badly Injured In the wreck, also say that he did not receive proper care on the San Juan, and charges the surgeon of that ship with gross negligence. The Chronicle says, th's morning: "As a result of testimony given at the federal inquiry into the cause of the Collma disaster, a number of suits for damages will be brought against the Pacific Mall Steamship Company. It Is alleged that the company was criminally negligent In the manner in which it loaded the ship. Among tho. who will make th? Pacific Mail defend Itself against a judgment for damages is 1j. R. Rrewer, the wealthy planter, whose wife and three children went down on the Collma. His home is destroyed, his happiness is gone and he is inspired by a bitterness which words can hardly express."

State of - Minnesota After n Tontine Savings Association. ST. PAUL, Minn., June 8. The State of Minnesota, through its Attorney-general, says that the Tontine Savings Association of Minnesota is a swindling concern and a gambling scheme end has applied to tile court to have its business wound up, for the appointment of a receiver and for an order restraining the officers of the association from performing any of their functions. While the principal office was in Minneapolis it is alleged that the principal business in carrying out the swindling and gambling scheme was carried on in Chicago, where a Urge number of bonds were sold. S W. Devore is president and general manager of the association; R. M. Sweet vice president, N. A. Spron, secretary-treasurer and W. R. Butler actuary. There are outstanding 3.391 bonds with liability of R'JH.OW with assets of $30.OK). In the complaint filed in cdurt the State alleges that the association Is insolvent: that t is doing business not authorized by the charter; that it has ceased to exercise its corporate franchises, and that It has property which should be preserved by a receiver In charge. From the complaint it appears that the principal place of business is Minneapolis, while there is a branch office in Chicago, where the association has been doinsr a large business. The association issued 12,0u2 bonds in which it promised to pay to the holders fcrtv years from date the sum of $1,000, the holders to pay T2 a month and $U when the bonds were purchased. The forfeiture period for the payment of the dues was ten days. The association pretended to have a capital of fioo.ooo, while, as a -matter of fact. It had little or no capital. While the principal office was in Minneapolis, It is alleged that the principal business, in carrying out the swindling and gambling scheme was carried on in Chicago, where a large number of bonds were sold to people supposing the association to be in good standing and their transactions regular. The association is in reality a gambling scheme, and has been so branded by tho Postofflce Department, which in April forbade it the'malls. A part of the business has been loaning money on real estate mortgages to provide for the payment of the bonds, but the association is not doing any loaning business and is wasting its resources in extravagant salaries and offices.

UNITED FOR SILVER

PIlOIIAnLE ; . ALMASCK IIHTAVEKX SOUTH CAROLIXA I1E31S. AND POPS. Peppery Letter from the Chairman of the Ohio Democratic Centrnl Committee A Drive nt Thnrmnn. RALEIGH, N. C, June S.-The meeting held here In the interest of bimetallism and to select delegates to the Memphis bimetallic convention is causing something of a political sensation.

Mr. Carlisle has not yet fully determined upon any other Kentucky date. XOXSEXSE AUOL'T MARRIAGE. Cnnntic Criticism of Views Advnnced In Recent Fiction. Illustrated London News. Among the many kinds of nonsense which is now commonly written by people who wish to make a noise, none is more absurd than the nonsense about marriage. Only write something sickly or stupid about wedlock, and you are almost certain to Be well advertised. In their deep, exhaustive Ignorance, the prattlers probably do not know that most, if not all, of their selfcontradictory dogmas have been invented, proclaimed, laughed at, and have disappeared, pretty often in the course of modern emancipation. The subject is not a very easy one for a moderately self-respecting writer to dilate upon. The new male ana female wiseacres contradict themselves and each other too freely and too frequently. "What should a young' lassie do wP an auld man?" or .with a youn? man, ot any number of men of all sorts of ages? After examining a variety of gospels, thought to be "new" by their Inspired authors, one remains in doubt. Thus, one lassie, an heiress, tries to overcome the virtue of a rude farmer to whom she is betrothed. "The rigid agriculturist prevailed;" he miintained a moral standard, compared to which that pf the famous Covenanter, holy, holy Samuel Rutherford, was low. The heiress then fled away swiftly, and married a peer whose mind and body afforded the most startling examples ot heredity In its most undesirable results. I tiflnk she then killed herself. They often do. Why the wretched woman behaved in this way. where the "gospel" comes in. what the gospel is, and where the interest of such silly proceedings lies coyly hidden. I do not pretend even to guess. If it is nasty (as I think It is), j-et it ia not new. Women have stooped to indescribable folly before toThis miserable bundle of nerves did get married, however, which was strangelyconservative.' The by no means new rubbish of the day represents pure-souled young women as panting for- maternity, but they nearly blush themselves into an apoplexv at the ..ought of holy matrimony. To become the parent of a little boy or girl, at once with no antiquated legal or religious flummery, Feems to be the ideal. Rut suddenly we are told. "Oh! no. no little boys and girls can be permitted to disturb these natural and romantic unions of pure souls." The romantic and natural aspects of these dogmas (though appreciated. by the Zulus?) are sadly to seek. But there is always a pofslblltiy of btng more grotesquely, absurd than one Sv rivals, and perhaps the very height of folly is reached by the heroine who marries with no more sense of shame or servitude than any sane girl, but mounts her high moral eminence, on the pleasing prospect of welcoming a little stranger. This, she vows, is quite too shockingly improper to be calmly contemplated by a pure-minded female! Why the public ever persues all this mass of fudge it is not for me to guess. It is not entertaining except as a thing may entertain by dint of sheer, solemn, owl-like want of humor. It Is not within the range of practical. rmical or social aburdty. Oirls are not so slllly as to throw away their lives and reputation for a crotchet. They know

well enough that the path of this paradise is all downhill, and. in fact, that a man wants a settled establishment, and will very soon leave the most pure-souled but unwedded lady prig, if, indeed, she does not begin by leaving him. And why not? "Ex hypothesl" there is nothing wrong in the conduct of the changeful lovers, there is no disgrace in bolting from a woman or a man when you chance to begin to prefer some other man or woman. If this be a mistaken theory of mine there can be no such thing as free love, and an emancipated moralist mignt just as well get married as not! This was the rock upon which Shelley (who had fanaticism enough for a tribe of reformers, and lack of humor to match), this Is the reef on whicn Shelley made shipwreck. He preached to the luckless Harriet that love was free, he married her all the same, and when he fell In love with Mary he or hl3 backers accused Harriet of misconduct. If the unmanly charge were true, Shelley, at all events, had no right to complain. Harriet. If she behaved ill, behaved well, according to Shelley's absurd philosophy.- Such are reformers: they preach against marriage, they get married, they quarrel with their wives for being obedient to their ideas, and then they keep going off with a series of very dear friends. And all this monstrous and ludicrous spectacle is offered to men and gods in the name of virtue!. The rubbish which the anttJacobin parodied so merrilly is being renovated In several directions. Rut one does not observe that the angelic Bysshe's ideas about the true and proper relations of brothers and sisters have yet been revived by the foollshiest of women or the most bemused of men. Why not? Has "Iaon and Cvthna." tnen, been written in vain, or is it only that the emancipated have never heard of a poem so congenial to a third-rate Intellect hopelessly off Its balance? Or do the most frenzied contemners of the society slowly evolved by the human race draw the line somewhere? As Iady Louisa Stuart said of Lady Mary Coke. "You generally knew in what direction to look for her. but It was impossible to say at what altitude she .might be found." So one knows in what direction to look for many a wiseacre, but his or her altitude 13 another affair. For soaring and shocking absurdity, hateful to the moral sentiments of a Veddah, or a Digger Indian, Shelley, one fancies, still holds the record. Indeed, I do not see how he is to be beaten, but then I have not read all the renovated nonsense of the period. Somebody, even now. may be out-soaring Shelley: and soon we shall be asked to sign a petition for releasing the moralist from prison. SUIT FOR 2,000,000. nijr Claim Agninst the Estate of Commodore Vnnderlillt.

NEW YORK, June 8. The World to-morrow will say: A suit for about $2,000,000 against the estate of Commodore Vanderbilt will be begun shortly by Wm. H. J. Brown, a son of a business associate of the founder of the Vanderbilt fortune. The transaction upon which the suit 13 based is more than forty years old. The first step In the legal proceedings will be taken to-morrow, when lawj-er H. Randel will apply to 'the surrogate for letters of administration in behalf of Mr. Brown In order that it may be determined what interest his father, the late "William A. Brown, had In the estate of Commodore Vanderbilt. William A. Brown was a ship builder who, after retiring with a big fortune, entered ?nto agreement with Commodore Vanderbilt for a steamship line between New York and San Francisco by way of Nicaragua. No partnership is designed by the agreement, which is dated March 21; lhbl, but each party is to be responsible for the expenses of his steamer. At that time Brown owned three-fourths of the steamship Pacific and the whole of the steamers Independence and Sea Bird. According to the plaintiff in the coming suit, the heavy expenses incurred in building these steamers and the Daniel Webster embarrassed Mr. Brown. He sought aid from Commodore Vanderbilt. who indorsed notes for him to the amount of $73,000 and loaned Jersey Central stock to the amount of $&,- 0K). taking as security a bill of sale of the steamers with the understanding that when the money was repaid the steamers were to be transferred back to Brown. The son alleges that the earnings for the first year were JISO.OOO and that this money was sent by Dr. Isaac C. Smith, who was the San Francisco agent of the line, to Daniel B. Allen, who was Vanderbllt's agent in New York. He says further that the earnings' of the line discharged his father's Indebtedness to Vanderbilt within three months, but that his father never had an accounting from Vanderbilt. The plaintiff explains that shortly after this his father failed and could say nothing about Commodore Vanderbilt taking the steamers because if he. had the assignee would have taken possession of them for the benefit cf the creditors. The action, which it was Intended to bring long ago, has been interrupted by trouble in the Brown family. William H. A. Brown has lived in Chicago for the past twenty years, and, owing to domestic complication, did not wLsh to accept in his own name half cf an estate of $100.0uO left by his mother. He left it in trust with his brother, and recently met the ?atter at Bridgeport. Conn., for an accounting. .-It was then found that nothing of tho estate remained. William then got his brother to assign him his share of the claim growing out of the Vanderbilt transaction. Anderson. Howland & Murray, Lawyers for the Vanderbilts. say that the family has no knowledge of the claim, and can find no memoranda bearing upon it. Women nnd Men. Harper's Bazar. Looking out from the window on any of our city squares one sees a swarm of flies or midges clrculing in the air. Then, looking down upon the pavement, one sees a cimiiiip diva T-m nf human beinzs. less num erous than the winged creatures but equally active, eacn speeding oetween two wheels with a swiftness that reminds the beholder of that . mysterious "life within the wheels" as seen by the Hebrew prophet in his mighty vision. The marvel is that day by day this human swarm increases: there are perceptibly, one would say, more bicycles visible on Tuesday than on Monday, cn Wednesday than on Tuesday; and the number that will have accumulated bySaturday or Sunday next baffles the imagination. All the factories are so overburdened with orders that they can only promise for a month or two in advance, and perhaps fall in their promises. The bicycle levels all social distinction; the fine lady quits her carriage and her footmen, and leaves them staring after her while she propels herself; and, on the other hand, the bicycle effects a practical lowering of rent to the journeyman mechanic, because it enables him to live farther from his daily work.

Hint! on Snmmer Dressing. Harper's Round Table. Growing girls do not need many dresses at once. A pretty toilet for best, which may at this season be of wool crepon or of summer silk, and a servicable frock of serge or some otner strong wooien siun ior every day and roughing occasions, will meet the requirements of ordinary life, A girl should have besides these, for simmer, one or two dainty ginghams simply made, a half dozen shirt waists, four of linen or percale, and two of silk, and a' white gown either of Swiss muslin or China silk. A sailor hat for common use, a" widebrimmed picture hat for the best, and a jaunty little toque will be enough in the way of covering for the head, and she will be wise to have, if she can, several pairs cf shoes. It is economy to have duplicates of one's shoes and boots, as these last much longer when frequently changed and relieved. For tramping about the roads and hills one needs, as also for the city promenade, an absolutely comfortable walking boot, with broad soles, low heels, and a shape that fits the foot to perfection. Too loose a shoe is as disagreeable and as bad for the foot of its wearer as one which Is too tight. A dress boot may be of cloth and patent leather or of soft kid.

PHANT03IS ON SNOW

WEIRDLY ETCHED FIGl RES II Y THE SIX IX THE TYROL COIXTRY. Witches nnd AniceU Seen, nnd Snperstitlon Weaven I'neanny Tale About the Sllhonettes. New York Herald. When spring begins Its warfare with winter in the mountains round about Inns bruck, and when, during the last days of March the sirocco strives to lift the cloa of snow from off the rocks, then in many places the dead ' white expanse swiftly changes, life seems to come to It In fantastic forms, where the sunbeams drive away the wintry covering, and leave a certain space defined in black relief against the surrounding white. Not seldom the effect is at once strange and impressive, and the p?ople of the country long ago gave to those forms per-' slstently recurring from year to year at the same time and in the same place characteristic names, suitable to the various figures. In which curious resemblances to human beings are traced. It is with never lessening pleasure that tho Inhabitants of the beautiful capital of Tyrol view each year again these familiar pictures on the mountains' walls, for they are the longdesired heralds of the spring, which then bursts upon them in full splendor. The native term for the numberless figures thus produced is "ausaperungsfiguren." which, in English, has no exact equivalent, but. carries with it tho lda. not fully expressed, of "sun etchings." The snow does not dissolve with the same rapidity throughout its expanse the various locations require more or les time for the melting. The flat bottoms, the moist spots, the steep rises, the hollows, the shaded places, all have their own rate. And in this variation is found the cause of the figures spring reveals. Such appearances are common enough, but never do these, numberless, fantastic forms show to such advantage elsewhere as on these mountains. with thelr precipices and crevas?es, their cliffs and ravines, nor can the eye elsewhere look upon them so clearly as here, where the mountain sides rie like sheer walls. ETCHING THE SNOW. To see these figures in their full distinctness it is necessary to take the view at just the right time. Sometimes it is enough if thefe be a few warm spring days, or even one night when" the sirocco sweeps over the mountains, or yet but a few hours of the hot sunshine, and the figures have vanished, or. at least, become hopelessly indistinct. Usually, then, it is only for a very short space of time that it is possible to admire these figures in their best beauty. And it is also iiecessary to discover the right place from which they may be viewed to best advantage. Every one knows the variation in effect which may be produced concerning the appearance of any object by a change In the observer's point of view. This truthMs much more apparent when It is considered In respect to large figures on a vast surface. The result of this is that the "sun etchings" seem altogether formless when observed with wrong perspective. The fifjure of the "Falcon Bearer and Angel is particularly well known, Is first to be seen in March, but it is at its best in April, although it sometimes continues into May. It is to be seen on the cliffs of the Arzler Scharte. In appearance the falcon bearer is colossal. He wears a broad-brimmed hat and bears the falcon on his right fist. This figure may be seen from any part of Innsbruck, but the most admirable view of it is from Tummelpiatz. near Ambras, that silent cemetery in the heart of the forest where so many patriots lie buried. . Another fiRure, one clad In mediaeval costume, is to be seen on the Sattelspitre, which is situated to the northwest from Innsbruck. The great difficulty regarding it is that it is only distinguishable for a few days. At first it is the figure of a woman, with a huge hat ' adorned by plumes, but as it grows more distinct it changes and assumes the figure of a "Landsknecht. with Trumpet,"-which is the name ordinarily given to it. Another remarkable picture well known In Innsbruck is that of the "Hunter and His Dog." He is of enormous size and appears on the northeast cliffs of the PatscherkofeJ. His outlines are of surprising distinctness. He is obviously a hunter, with his bag strung on his back and pipe In mouth, kneeling and lifting his dog. Not even the direct influence of the sunbeams, but only the snow dissolving power of the Sirocco, displays this charming silhouette upon Its cliffs, and it is therefore not to be seen, save Jn the middle or at the end of May. One can only galn,a true idea of the extraordinary size . of thVs figure by comparing its dimensions with those of the one-story house which appears to the right beneath the hunter, and which is not a sun etching, but a permanent dwelling. THE MANDELSPITZE. Another masculine figure is that of the ridiculously tall and slim "water-carrier" of the Mandelspitze, to the north of Innsbruck. When It is well developed one sees the long gaunt figdre In the midst of a long stride and bearing his water jar In the right hand. . Under the influence of the increasing heat this figure's long l-g's growlonger, until they attain an Impossible length, then legs, arms and body disappear, leaving his head as the sole remnant. When this transformatldn has taken place the figure of a gnome appears, who leans' his hands upon the other's hat and peers enviously over It down into the valley It may be suspected that this gnome has helped to give the mountain Its name for the German wcrd which I have translated gnome is "mandl," of much the same meaning as our word mannikln. The superstition of the people has led them to give mysterious -importance to these phantoms, i.iey have attached much interest to the figure of the "angel" which appears immediately beneath that of the "falcon bearer." who holds out her hands as if in blessing while she mounts upward Unfortunately, her gesture of benediction is woefully brief, for the sun makes her vanish by the fierceness of his ravs and only a black spot remains In her stead The religious aspect of the mountains is Increased by the reverend posture of the "priest," who is .displayed clad In cassock, cotta and beretta, kneeling and seeming to sprinkle the mountain with holv water from the sprinkler held before him His reverend figure Is to be seen on the Solsteln. The priest Is best seen from the station at Voeis of the Alberg 'railway Superstition is rampant !n the Tyrolean mountains, and many strange tales might come easily from these strange figures which sometimes come and go in a single day. An old mountatneer told with great seriousness of an evil mountajn witch who chose his hut as the scene of her location and declared that she could often be seri there. And. surely enough, just under the Seegrubenspltze is to be sen a figure of hideous appearance, with distorted face flying tangles of hair and outstretched hands with clutching talon fingers, which is called the "witch." When the spring avalanches fall crashing In the valley with tremendous clamor the people think often that the thunderous noise is the uproar df evil spirits. Often then they look on the phantom figures in dread and fear lest those forms comev down from the precipices upon them. The neighborhood of the Sattelspitze and jseegruoenspuze auounas in such p'ctures which are easily to be pointed out as witches or demons. There is not much imagination necessary in order to discover the outlines of two .old women who threaten each the other with claw ing finger nails. They will satisfy the ideal of witches Not directly from Innsbruck, but from Mieders. in Stubai. is to be s?en. on th cliffs to the north of Series, or Waidrastspitze, which close the panorama to the south from Innsbruck, the so-called "Knitting Woman." who works with seemingly tireless industry until the sun makes woman and stocking one.
