Mr. Rozier's last visit to Washington was in lsJO, after attending the celebrated convention at Philadelphia of that year which indorsed the orlicial acts and policy of President Andrew Johnson. From that day to this Mr. Rozier has been a silent lookeron at the administration of public affairs, and after almost a quarter of a century bobs up serenely and asks for an ofiice. Missouriacs say though once a very distinguished man in public affairs hi stands no show whatever of being rewarded by this or any other Democratic administration. A Dinner to ludiauians.

Mr. Eynum says here is no doubt of his confirmation, and thinks it wiil be before the Senate in a few dys. A Crushed Congressman, tpeclal to the Sentinel. Wajhixgtox, May 7. Mr. Johnston, of the Terre Haute district, was about the worst crashed statesman to-day that was ever seen. He undertook to reply to Dragg, of Wisconsin. The House was discussing a private tension bill, which brought up some war history. If there is anything Johnston is afraid of it is his war record. Brags had no sooner finished with him until old General Wolford, of Kentucky, took a turn, and it was cot long before the whole body was en-

paged in ridicule at Johnston's expense. Johnston was rea'Jy an object of pity, so completely had be demonstrated the truth of his ignorance of the history of the war and the country. Mr. Johnston will be wiser in the future, and not wrestle with men qnjte as large as Era?-;. HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

An Indiana farmer. Hi Daughter ami Tno Hörnen Kll'ed-The Wife and Another Daughter Can Not ltecuver. S-reeial to tl o Sentinel. Pi.YM"! th, lud., May t). A horrible railroad accident occurred about five miles east of this city this evening about G o'clock at Inwcod, a small station oa the Chicago and Fort Wayne Railroad. John Wymer, a farmer living near the station, started from Lis home this morning accompanied by his wife and two pretty little daughters, aged tl.'iee and four year?, and drove out to visit n Lie friends. After spending the day they started back and reached In wood Station just as the express Tas due. As his wagon was passing over the track it was struck by the engine and both horses were killed as was Wymer and the eldest child. His wife and other child escaped instant death but are suffering great agony and can not recover. The bodies of Wymer and the other child are mangled so as to make them almost unrecognizable, and they present a sickening appearance. The girl's head was completely severed from the body and lay ten or fifteen ff et away, while Wymer was simply a shapeless, mass of r!esh. An eye-witness says: "It is an awful acotdmt, tut no one is to biame but Wymer himself. Just before they came down this far, Wymer had a friend in the wagon with him. This man strongly urged him not tj attempt to cross the track, but Wymer pid no heed to him. Then the friend got out of tbe wagon and left Wymer to take the chance, if he wanted. Wymer was foolish but it is too late now to talk about that. After the train had moved out, the dead and dying were laid on the Hoor of the station, there to await the arrival of medical aid, although there was no hope that either the mother or child would live till it could reach them. Tbe Coroner at Plymouth was also notified end will probably holi an Inquest to-morrow. Much sorrow is expressed among the residents of Inwood and the passengers at the unfortunate event, by which an entire family will be wiped out of existence through the recklessness of its head member." MURDER. .Monroe Hiii.tr,a Harber on a Steamer, Kills a Colored Passenger. 3tecUl to the Sentinel. KvAXsvii.E, Ind.. May 9. William Lewis, a colored ppssenger ou the steamboat Ciy of Umaha, was killed instantly to-night by Monroe Hunter, the colored barber of the tin. The boat had left the wharf only a few moments when the two became involved in a quarrel. Lewis seems to have been in he fault. lie came aboard at Henderson under the influence of liquor, and began to Hilter and provoke Hunter, following him from one place to another, until the latter puiitd his pistol and shot him dead. The ball pasfd through his heart. Hunter is from Nashville, Tenn., and Lewisis a barber of this city. Oth-r Special. Vixrrxxrs. May 10. The jury in the Banks murder trial, after being out nineteen hours, brought in a verdict of murder id the second degree and fixed the punishment of the accused at two years in the penitentiary. The indictment charged Banks with tbe murder of John Hauircond, a young married man. who went into Banks' saloon at Monroe City last December. He was drunk and obnoxious and Banks undertook to pnt him out of tbe a!oon, when Hammond resisted and laid hands upon Banks heavily, tearing the latter's shirt. A scuttle ensued, and when tbe belligerents reached the door Banks raised his foot against Hammond's abdomen and gave him a shove, looting Hammond's hold and allowing him to fall on the ground. Hammond staggered to the house of a relative, where he died ia a day or two. PiKr, May 10. This morning Christopher Feister, employed at Cole's brewery in South Pern, was arraigned upon a charge of crin inal assault alleged to have been committed upon a German girl, Sofia Hartyig, of whom young Feister had been paying his attentions. The assault, as told to the officers, was most villainous, and but for the timely arrival of some men, attracted by the cries of the outraged girl, would have resulted in the serious injury or death of Miss Hartyig. Fiester was not ready for trial, and the case was continued for preliminary hearing until Wednesday. The prisoner was released on the remarkable low bail of $000. Madisox, May 10. Edward Wallace, aged twenty, residing at Volga, this county, waa arrested by United States detectives and tak n to Indianapolis to day, to answer before the United States Commissioner to the charge of using the United States ir.ads to advertise the sale of counterfeit money. He admitted his guilt, saying he was not alone in the enterprise. He says a letter received from a South Carolina man ottering to dispose of bogus paper currency was the glittering bait which tempted him. Lo;AXtroKT, May 10. The new Insane Asylum buildings, now being erected here, are rapidly approaching completion. The building site is about a mile from the city, on a high ridge, which overlooks the Wabash River at one of the most beautiful points alorg its course.

WARMING AN ICICLE.

Ohio Republicans Preparing Plans for a Sherman Boom for the Presidency. The Ireftident Displeased with tho Cond net of an Indiana OfT'.ce-Holder-What Congressman Koran Think of Anarchinits. peclal to the Sentinel. Washixc;tox, May 9. John Sherman and a number of his Ohio constituent?, who are iiow in the city, are quietly at work arranging and rrepariDg plans for a Sherman boom for the Tresidtncy. The plans, as they are being formulated, bear evidence of the "fine Italian band" cf the Ohio Senator. It is not the purpose of those engaged in the enterprise to start the boom by a brass band. It is to have its origin with the unassuming country folks. The plain but honest farmer is the first whose enthusiata is to be touched. Mr. D. M. Fleming, a life long friend of Mr. Sherman and editor of the riqua(0.) Journal, has for some weeks been in tbe city and is in daily intercourse with Mr. Sherman. To Mr. Fleming has been delegated the ottice of beginning the work in Ohio. The method to be employed is somewhat novel, though based upon what is considered sound political cam pa'gn strategy. Mr. Fleming being at the head of the country press of Ohio, and a prominent factor in Republican politics, his first duty will be to turn the rural Republican eaitori in o the Sh rma i olumn by commencing with the p ople of the country districts. They hope within one ypar to have established upon the most solid foundation a sentiment and feeling lor hrnian that will bring to it the support of the mttiopoiitian press and the more prom imnt&rd influential managers of the party. When the Ohio press has been set in proper motion, then U e same line of action is to be transplanted in every State in the Union wheie it is possible to find any Shermaa suppcrr. To first place Ohio in the proper position, they find it necessary to harmonize all differences which will insure a solid delegation. This thev believe can only be done through the country newspapers. Without Ohio's delegation unanimous there will be no chance whatever. The Republican press at the South, Mr. Sherman and his friends believe they can control. It will be urged that Mr. Sherman, above all others, can carry the state of Tennessee. They will also claim he will be as strong in New York as if he were a resident of that place. In the opinion of his managers he Will be strongest of ail competitors on the Pacific Slope. Mr. Sherman is not to be advanced individually, but the ticket is to be named. The second place, according to the programme, is to be given to lion. Levi P. Morton, of New York. Mr. Sherman's present visit to New York City is for the purpose of conferring with Mr. Morton. Mr. Fleming believes, with Mr. Morton on the ticket, there w'll be no possible doubt of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, while Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Tennessee can all be carried by Mr. Sherman. Mr. Fleming will return to Oiiio next week, the plans as above havingall bien agreed upon. In tbe formation of the State atd Congressional tickets for the comi-ig eltction the Sherman canvass will occupy a prominent part and serve to educate the people up to the proper appreciation, when by next year the staying pegs will have been set. Special to the Sentinel. The President Displeased. Washigtox, May 9. Colonel Stockslager, Assistant Commissioner of the General Land Office, has returned from his Indiana home where he bas been for the past three weeks setting up the pins for Congress. It is atleged the President is not at all pleased with the conduct of Mr. Stockslager in absenting himself from his pest of duty. The President says it is in open violation of the civil service law, and in opposition to tbe policy of the Administration. Secretary Lamar has been severely criticised from the White House for having allowed Stockslager to go to Indiana for compaign purposes. It is rumored, though not reliably authenticated, that it may result in Secretary Lamar's being compelled to ask for Mr. Stockslager's resignation. Representative Foran on AuarchUt. Special to the Sentinel. Washixgtox, May 9 Just before tbe bomb wt.s thrown in the haymarket at Chicago tbe other night one of the Anarchist orators gave Martin Foran as authority for the assertion that nothing was to be expected from Congress in the way of remedial legislatian for the wrongs of labor. Congressman Foran yesterday said: "There is no place for socialism in this country. Capitalists, and not banded labor, are responsible for the Anarchists. The ranks of the Anarchists are filled with foreigners who are brought here by capitalists to compete with American labor. Most and Spies and Schwab (tbe cowardly scoundrels) are not workingmen. I would have more respect for their sincerity if they risked their own lives in the cause they pretend to advocate. They only ure other men on." "What can be done to suppress these Anarcbists?" "Shoot them down,' kill them all. When menget to throwing bombs and murdering people, they should be handled with the erratest severity of tbe law. They should be shot down in the act, or they should be punished to the extent of the law when caught. There is no excuse ior anarchy and socialism in this country, and there can be no sympathy for it" Knows IV hat lie I About. 8peclal to the ScntlneL WafHixfjTox, May 9. A Western Democrat, who is interested in the River and Harbor bill, said this evening: "If I wanted to gamble on it, I would bet five to one that the President will veto the River and Harbor bill if it ever reaches him. It is almost a cer tainty the old man may not be all right ou

civil service reform, but he knows whatjhe is about when it comes to a question of expenditures." METHODISM.

McetlSKof th K tieneral Conference at Richmond, Va. RitHMosn, Va, May 10. In the M. ' E. (i'eDeral Conference to-day Dr. M. B. Chapman, of Missouri, introduced a preatable and resolution in relation to the confederation cf the Methodist Episcopal Cinrch South and the Methodist Episcopal Church North. The preamble sets forth in rV stance that the two churches have a common history and preach the same truths; "that the Cape May Mission has been wholly! disregarded; therefore be it resolveJ, that tnis General Conference shall elect a-committee ot seven, four of whom shall be clerical and three lay delegates, who shall meet a like committee from the Northern M. E. Church in lSS looking to a reunioa of the tsvo churches. Tbe resolution further sets forth that it is a sin and folly folly for two Methodist Churches to occupy the Mime territory. The question was discussed at some length, and finally was referred to a special committee, to be co-rposed of one from each annual conference. ? The Committee on Itineracy, to wVicltwas referred a memorial from the Louisville- and I enver Conferences, that provision be ma le for the appointment of evangelists, rccommemttd lion concurrence. . f Dr. Adams thought that Sara Jone'(an 1 other such men should have nominal appointments. ' Dr. Messick, of Louisville, strongly supported the report of the committee, and was in favor of allowing the question of evan gelism to tand as it is. He very forcibly contended that tbe church did not want specialists on this subject; that every Methodist preacher is equally qualified to save souls. In the name of Methodism he pro tested against such an innovation, and when he concluded ihere was a hearty "A men!" Dr. Neele, of Texas, said that these evangelists, as far as he knew, were ruonirjg on the plan cf "religion made easy." In the name of the Methodist Church and of the entire Church of God, he hoped that the measure would fail :- Dr. Winfield. of Arkansas, said that if the memorial is adopted that every gam Io id the Methodist connection will be an jevangelist in the next few years. j "Do you know what a gum log is?" the Doctor asked. "It is one you can not do ai'ythirg with. When I was in Europe I was shown a certain kind of tree the fern tie oak. You can't split it or do anything with it. It is just like a woman; when she will, she will, and you can't do anything with her. There is but one Sam Jones in the world." he continued, "and there never will be but one; and every little fellow that tries to be like Sam Jones will fail. Yon can make no more on that line. He is by himself. Yo'i can have but one, and if you attemnt to duplicate him you will surely tail. Laughter. He has turned Chicago upside-down, and any man that has the courag id attack Chicago can not be duplicated, lie is being heard in Baltimore. Renewed laughter He is tbe man of the century. We don't want any evangelists among Southern Methodists We have already the grandest machinery in the world. Brethren, I tell yoa what is the matter; you go along lifeless and dead. Rekindle hrts in your own church, for it is time the Methodist ministers were looking this matter in the face." ; After a lengthy and interesting discussion of the matter the report of the committee was adopted by an almost unanimou? vota. The conference then adjourned. BASE BALL. At Detroit. Di.Titt'tT, May 10. Although the weather to-day was threatening, fully 3,0oj shivering but enthusiastic people saw the Gotham giants downed by the Wolverine sluggers in a well-played contest of seven innings, darkness preventing longer play. Hard hitting, well bunched, decided tbe game for the home nine. In the first, three singles yielded one run for the visitors, and in the fifth two singles and an error gave them another. Detroit earned three runs in the third, with a double and two singles. lu the fourth Manning beautifully stole second, after having reached first on a hit. He scorei on one of Bouther's two baggers. The sixth opened with a base on balls. A single, two doubles, a fielders' choice and an error by Lästert rook let in five more runs, three of tbtm earned. Notwithstanding the sagv condition of the grounds, the game was very well played, both1' clubs fielding cloily While trying to steal second base in the third inning, Ewing wrenched his leg, and was oblieed to give way to Richardson. letrolt.- 0 0 :) 1 0 5 o- o Sew Votk 1 0 0 0 1 0 02 Earned runs Detroit, 7: New York. 1.

RETURNING TO WORK.

The Tnrnirg Point in the Eight-Ecur Movement Passed. EÜSINESS RESUMING ITS USUAL CSm'ELS Chicago Railways Accepting and Ctring for All Freight Offered. "Workers in Cincinnati Furniture Factories Going Park Tbe Cnrtin Congressional Sub-Committee in Session at St. Louis. Ci:ha.o. May 10. The excitement over labor troubles this morning was principally confined to the lumber districts. In that section great, crowds assembled at an early hour to see whether any of the old hands in tb? yards and plat-ipg mills would return to work. Altng Blue Island avenue end Tw enty-second street, the sidewalks were lined with men, and a heavy patrol of policemen were on hand to quell any disturbance. The only mill to start up was T. Wohler .t Co.'s. Here eiEhty men went to work at eight hours for nine hours' pay. R. Lyon put some of his tf anisters to work, but as they ere employed by the mouth, tbe circumstance did not attract much attention. Later in tbe morning all the savb, door and blind factories in the district started up. About 1,500 men went to work. They will get nine hours' pay for eight hours' work. The planing mill men said they would start up but could not, as they are dependent upon the lumber yard for material. All tbe railways in the city resumed operations this morning, and are accepting and caring for all freight oiler ed-, without limi'. The situation, however, as affecting th freight handlers is still unsettled and has developed unexpected phases. The Baltimore and Ohio set its men at work this mornin.', conceding them an eight-hour working day, with nine hours' pay. The freight h indier of this road have not been acting in concert with the other city freight handlers, atd gained their victory by independent negotiation with tie company. It is not known what ellcct this concession will have upon the other roads. A committee of the strik ing freight handlers of the Chicago and Northwestern Road called upon the officials this morning, and expressed a desire to return to work on the old basis. The company replied that the men had been given full notice fo return to work, but had failed to do so. As a consequence the company had had its business seriously interfered with and had been at trouble and expense in procuring new men. These men filled the entire working quota f the company, and it had no places to offer men who had gone out on the strike. The ultimatum issued Saturday by the manufacturers of metal goods, in which they distinctly said they eould not grant the eight-hour day, made the situation in this Jine of manufacture one of interest this. morning. The chuf potLt was the factory of Crane Bros.: which gives employment to 1,200 men, it being thought if these men accepted the situation and went to work at ten hours' pay for ten hours' work their actiou would have great weight on the men on strikes at other factories. Before 7 o'clock this morning there was quite a crowd in the vicinity of the work?, but there was not the least tymptora of disorder. At the pipe mhl 200 men went to work in the general shops. The Chicago Malleable Iron Works started up in full blast this morning, S00 being employed at nine hours' pay lor eight hours' work. The Adams it West Lake employes, as well as those of the Union Brass Company, had not returned up to 8 a. m. The striking freight handlers offered to return to woik to-day, but only a small portion were given employment, their places having been filled. The men were much dejected. Three Bohemians named Baclag Denjek, Hynrik Denjek and Frank Nowak, in whose possession bombs were discovered, had their cafes continued in $5,000 bail each before Justice White. C. C. Anderson, a discharged employe of the Western Indiana Railroad, was held to the Criminal Court in $500 bail for pulling coupling-pins from freight cars. Anton Hirschberger, a printer on the Arbeiter Zeitung and present at Haymarket riot, was held this morning in $300 bail for riot and $1,000 bail on the charge of unlawful assemblage. The switch tenders of the Western Indiana railroad returned to work to-day, having received an increase of $5 a month all around, and in some cases more. The hours of woik will remain the same as before the strike. The day was marked by the resumption of work in all the principal sash, door and blind factories in the city on the basis of eight hours' work and nine hours' pay. The Curtin Investigating Committee. St. Louis, May 10. The Curtin Congressional Sub committee was in session to-day and took a large amount of evidence. The first witness was William Kerrigan, General Superintendent of the Missouri Pacific system. His testimony consisted very largely of identifying and proving correspondence which had been from time to time published. It was very important testimony to the investigation, however, as it verified very much that has been printed in the press, and which has been regarded as matter that needed the sworn statement of some person to make it reliable. Outside of this Mr. Kerrigan gaye a long and exhaustive statement of the strike from Its commencement, detailing acts of violence iy strikers at different points on the system, and referring to various grievances which have been claimed to exist since the strike began, but which were not claimed at the outset as causes of the strike. Mr. Kerrigan estimated the loss to the employes of the road by the strike to be in round numbers fl.Oun.WO, the loss to the railroad $2 tr 00 . and the loss to the country at large from two toth'eetikoealhiri amount. SfM-'al mlit r officials ot the railroad comptny were examined, who testified to various' incidents which occurred during the rtiiVe which would indicate that the de-tt-i ruination of the strikers was far more desj träte than was supposed by many people. Mr. Kennedy, of De Soo, testified that a cr of hogs arrived there the day the slrike

was ordered in a Texss and Pact ti 3 car, and that as trie cars of that roüd ha i been b y-

cotted tbe strikers would not let it be j movtd. and they actually pr.-venttl th I agent .'f the company for aiav and a ba't ! from buying corn to few! the hog with. J Othr ir stances of thetfiectsof the boycott ere given in connection with attsrup's made, in St. Louis by wha are known 'scar'' to buy articles of clothing, and ii which they were followed, to stores bv striktrs who denounced them as scabs and warned the storekeepers against selling them anything. It is tbe intention now to examine Mr. Hoxie to-morrow if he is well enough to bear the exertion necessary, and also Martin Irons, the man who ordered the strike. Work Iteine Resumed.

Nearly 4,WW assemblies Le pledged themselves to an on tno advice coumimd in the circular of the 13tn ult. I Ktl that it only iequired the coming to the front of the real men of our order to set us right before the world. We bae been losing srround so far as public opinion i concerned, for some time. One oi tbe causes is that wc huve allowed thinzs to be done UDiHr tbe name of the Kuichts ot Labor for which the organization was in no wise resojnsible. I hk of onr members to keep a jealou eye upon tbe doin4of the labor men who never labor, and n u ii ibev cbaige uu) thing to our order in ytur locality, tet the teal of your condemnation njon them at once by denying it. If a paper criticises the Knights of Labor or its oil'icer, do not boycott it, aud if you have entered on such boycotts stop them. We must boar in mind tbnt our General Master Workman is only a man and is not aove criticism. We demand ir ourselves the right of free spe?ch. We can not consistently deny it to others. We must tolerate fair, open criticism, and if a reply is necessary make it in a gentlemanly, dignified manner. If vie are criticised or abused by a blackguard theet, treat it as yon would the blacd guard him-f-cli in silence. Tbat our aims and objects are good is no reason why our members should be retarded as beings of superior build or material. We are no moic the salt of the earth than the millions of unknown toilers who do the work of the world. In our dealings with laborers and capitalists we must deal justly and fairly by them. If wc would have equity doie to us, we must in turn do eouity to others. That is the aim of the Knights of Labor, and must not be lost sight of in the futnie. Let me call your attention to a lew little abuses: 1 rind that whereever a strike occurs, sppewls for aid are scattered broadcast among the assemblies. Do not pay one tent for such purposes in future unless the appeal comes from your own District Assembly or tbe General Atsemblv. If boycott notices aresent you, burn them. 1 have in my possesion over four hundred boycott notices which were sent to assemblies, with a request tbat they be acted on, Let me nient'on bOineof them: A certain psper is influential in one or tbe other political parties. Members of the opposing party conceive the idea of getting rid oi the paper, and they invoke tbe aid of the Knights of Labor tint taking the precaution to have the paper iu question say something uncomplimentary of the tbe Knights of Laoor. In fact, our order has been uted as a tail for a bihdred different kites, and in return it must soar aloft from all of them. I ask the Secretary of each asscm ily to either burn of table all appeal for help or boycott notices, and wane no more time in leading or considering them. Some assemblies send out documents in evvelopes acdressed to "Secretary of Assembly No. ." In mimy places the Secretaries have been discharged for this practice. No member has aright to address another in that way. and if it i ever prsCtjrcd pain the offender wiil be punished. - mi K3 In future the Ocnersl Kxe.uweimard mua.uui be Interferred with in the performance ef its duty. If you have confidence in taem stow tbein and obey them: if not. I ask for their resignations. While the Board was endeavoring to settle the Southwest troubles assemblies in some nlaces, with the best of intentions, no doubt, were pawinif ami publishing resolutions condemning Jsy Gould. These things did no gooi: on the contrary, they were injurious. In tben;ttlementnf troubles it becomes the duty of the Executive Board to meet everybody and go even where. While they areloing this they inut not be hampered by the actions of those who do not know what their task Is. Keep quiet: let your ofhrers do their best, and if you can not find a to aid them, do not retard their progress. Involutions do not prevent land stealing, stocit wateiing or gambling in the necessaries of life. If 1 had my mind made up to rob a bank at midtiipiit a Hrinir of resolutions as ion ah tbe moral law would not influence me a pir tide, but if some interested party would take the irMiblc to siudy up the question and would inJoim himself as to my right to rob the bank and would Mond guard at the door of the vault, I wnild not rob it at midnight if be did his ditty. Wl.at we wuut from every member is not gnsi or wlui.y leo'.utions about our rights. We know we have rights without passing res-olu'.ic-ns. Men wdo tbiok. .tudy anil act are it iiilrcd. Tbe 'Jeperal Assembly wM meet in st ecisl tesMon on the "th of Mar in the city of i';cvluud. From the receipt of this letter you must j.ot address au f communication tome, nor ied yen expect an acswer if yon do; 1 have tfintVhris of letters piled up around me now. and tfcey titter can be read, much less answered, by

"rom now until the (ieLeral Assembly meets. I will receive no tuminiltcts. slower no letters. I mut frrtuulMe a plau for the future, and will not be interfere! with. Utoie n-14'ai. I will not receive no comD.iitces. answer no loiters, nor will I go anywhere st the request of merii tiers of assemblies. This is imperative. 1 must hs.e a chance to do ume thing of benefit for the Order, and I can not do it if I r.in to sit for eighteen hours a day reading letters which have leen answered an 1 reiisxercd in the Journal and Constitution. Vbt I will say to tne ieurai Assembly will be said u the entire Order, and you must give me time to prepare it.

Losnox, May 10 The St. James t iazette denounces the action of the meeting at the Academy of Music in New York last Friday evening in adopting resolutions commend) ing Mr. Gladstone's Home Rule policy. The (azette says the originators of the meeting, were "rebels and outlaws and its supporters aliens." "There exists," says the paper, "a good deal of genuine American sympathy for the work of breaking up the British Empire. Will this sympathy cease when Mr. Darnell receives his present demand and asks for more when Home Rule is conceded? Knghshmen are not likely to favor rebellion, because it is backed up by foreign dictation." In the Interest of Public Order. Dufux, May 10. It has been learned that the Constables in Ulster are engaged in the task of collecting the names and addresses of all persons in the district who, during the past three years, have purchased arma and ammunition. The work is being carried on under direction of the tiovemment at London, and the information desired is being furnished by shippers, who have generally retained the directions under which Ibeir consignments have been ordered. It is believed that tbetiovernment intends to disarm the Loyalists in Ireland, and that Mr. John Morely's motion to continue the Coercion act of ISM was made with a viw to its application in the interests of public order against the threatening minority. Noted Mnrder Trial. St. Lovis, May 10. The noted case of Hugh M. Brooks, alias Lenox Maxwell, charged with the murder of O. Arthur Preller, at the Southern Hotel, in this city, oa the 15th of April, 185, was called in the Criminal Court this morning. The well known details of the case had attracted a large crowd to the building in which tbe court room is located where the case is being; tried, but a detail of police prevented all but a few privileged persons from gaining an entrance. Tbe crush, therefore, which was anticipated was avoided, and those anxious to catch a glimpse of the prisoner were disappointed. The latter was brought into the court room at 11 :30 o'clock. Physically the prisoner shows few signs of his long imprisonment. His mental condition, he says, has not been impaired, and, judging from his cheerful bearing, no one would imagine that he was about to be tried on the charge of. having committed a most heinous crime. Tbe case was called nt 11:45, and the defense objecting that no list of the special jurorsbad been furnished them for their inspection, was continued until 1 o'clock this afternoon, when the task of selecting a jury will be entered upon. Tbe defense some time age claimed the privilege of trying the case feefore a special jury, composed of men of more than average intelligence, ahd the selection, of twelve from this class of men will undoubtedly occupy the remainder of this wet k. Tbe procuring of the j ury will be begun this afternoon. IJurxtar at Work.
