Communist Meeting Last Sun
day
The Orange Riots.


few fanatics, whose assumed leadership
is gross imposition, are not to be inter-
preted as expressing the sentiments of
Irish citizens, who as class throughout
the country condemn the July riots.
The Radical War against Grant.
There is disposition among Repubi-
can organizations to have an early assem-
blsge of a convention for the nomination
of State officers. Some LEGAL clubs are
already asking that he time be fixed for
beginning in September. The divisions
of the party here will probably result in
sending two delegations to the conven-
ton. The contest this year will be made
principally upon candidates for the Legis-
lature, the State officers to be elected
being considered unimportant.
There is said to be movement on foot
for the nomination of anti-Grant Repub-
iican candidates for the Assembly from
the districts in this city, and it is also de-
clared that the political situation will
necessitate change in the postmaster
ship and that the early removal of the
present incumbent has been promised by
the President
The fines, Tribune and Tammany
"A Triangular Duel.
The Times is again accusing the Tam
many Republicans with seeking disrup-
ton of the Republican party. 1t charges
that the Tribune is publishing accounts
in the interest of the Tammany ring;
that the boiling Tribune has COZ tributed
to the election of men pledged to sup
port the ring. The Tribune declares
the Times guilty of untruthfulness, and
says it wants TO arrogate to itself war
against robbing the city Treasury, which
the Tribune is carrying on now as it has
been heretofore.
Mayor Hall thinks that the Times show
ed its want of political loyalty in COM
mencing the fight on the Tammany ring
SO carly in the season. Had it waited
until about week before the election it
would have been easier, and perhaps
more successful. He believes the Times
attacks have strengthened Tammany as
the inquisition has been so ably taken up
by the Democratic press throughout the
country that the influence of Tammany,
which before was merely lOCal, has now

Communists in Council.
The meeting of the International So
ciety was held yesterday and arrange
ments were made for collection of funds
to aid the Communist exiles. From

nationals took place in Geneva with

hing was said about giving the other
capitals of Europe a taste of Commu-

Gently enjoyed.
A Live Prince.
The cable intelligence announces the

Canadian AnnexatiOnists.
At q recent meeting of the Canadian
Union Club it was determined to hold a
celebration in this city on the 18th of
October next the anniversary of the dis
Covery of America by Columbus, for the
purpose of showing the gratitude of Ca
madam advocates of annexation, to citi-
zens of the United States for their sup
port of the scheme. 1t was arranged that
q deputation of Canadians living in this
city should visit Moses Capineau, the
eminent anneXationist of Lower Canada,
and request him to open the first mass
meeting the cOlOnists ever held in New
York or the United States, and to attend

to organic, if possible, annexation meet
ings in the principal towns of Lower

Another Rotten Boiler.
Aa examination was made to-day of
the boiler on board the steam tug j. Fl.
Starbuck, which exploded on Saturday,
killing the fireman.
After careful search, it was discov-
cred that the boiler was completely worn
out-in fact, rotten. There were fifteen
soft patches on the inside and q crack
fully seven inches was discovered.
II was one of the patches which gave
way when the unfortunate fireman was
taking out the embers from the furnace,
and which caused the hot steam to rush
into his face, causing, it is supposed, al
most instant death.
The examination was made in the pres
ence of Coroner Dempsey, Capt. Hol-
brook and the reporters. McMurray
stated that the boiler was only a sixty
fourth of an inch thick, and it was aston
ishing how it lasted SO long.
CcrOner's Verdict for granddaughter.
The coroner's jury case of Geo. Will
liams, killed by the explosion of the
boiler of the tug boat G. II. Starbuck,
brought in q verdict of manslaughter
against E. Clark Suatton, government in
spector of boilers, and also against the
engineer, Geo. II. Mills. Warrants were
issued for the arrest of Mills and StrattOn.
Forty Suits for Damages Against
the WeSIfIeId.
The Starbuck disaster is made the &C.
Casion for a revival of the discussion con-
corning boiler explosions, and the respon-
sibility for this class of accidents. In the
case of the Starbuck investigation, which
was commenced before the Coroner to-
day, it appears that the boiler was so de-
fectiVe that water and steam actually
poured out through the apertures found
IL it.
1t is hoped that the Westfield verdict
will awaken corporations to a sense of
their danger, and by properly fixing the
responsibility of the disaster, cause a more
rigid enforcement of the laws on these
subjects.
About forty actions for damages have
been commenced against the Staten Island |
Ferry Company by relatives of the Brook
Ign victims of the late disaster.
