lank, 500 Vesey street, this morning,
Ephraim SteinhRrt, brother Of one Of
the proprietors, standing behind Samuel
Schonlank, shot him, then swallowed the
contents Of q bottle Of poison, and shot
himself. Schonlank will probably live.
Michael Savage, an old man, fell from
the steps OF his residence in Brooklyn,
last evening, and was fatally injured. His
wife was so affected by the occurrence
that she died in short lime. 81.
4 Alfred 6teinhRrt, who shot Samuel
schonlank, his brothers partner, in their
store on Vesey street, this morning, came
from Chicago four weeks ago, and was
learning the cigar business. The only
reason Schonlank gives for the shooting
ls that he told Steinhart to keep away
from his employees, and had discharged
him on Friday lSsI. Schonlank Is mar
Tied man, with vile and seven children
living. Steinhart Is young and unmar.
fied. SChonlAnk Is in fair way Of Ie7
coyery, but Steinhardt Is still lingering
very low There is no apparent reason
in the relations ol the two men for either
the murder or suicide One man oRnnot,
the other will not tell anything about It
beyond q bad statement that there are
TIamily mattets' in the case. A
A motion was made before Judge Mel.
son, of Brooklyn, to day 10 eDjoin the
trustees Of Evergreen Cemetery from ex.
ercislng any further control over the
grounds, and that receiver be appointedd
10 take custody Of the property. The lot
oWners make aflld0Vits that the grounds
have been desecrated by the cutting down
ofahsdG trees in private burial plots, and
that COWS, horses and cattle have been al.
lowed to roam at large over the premises.
The damage alleged 10 have been done Is
At $250,000. The trustees dehyi
the whole charge. Judge Nelson re-
served his decision. - Wy. -'"
The 7t1Sine furnishes The following
The yarions Trade Unions arc making
arrangement In a'general way 10 hold u
mass meeting in September, TO discuss the
present aspects OF the labor movement,
aud 10 Gndeavor, If possible, 10 bring
about more general obervance oil the
eight hour rule. Working men complain
that the observance Of eight hours as
a days work Is being disregarded
by employers. Not long ago one Of the
prominent cnrpentRrG and builders VI lnls
City was waited upon by committee
the men In his employ, and
asked whether or not the association Of
employers had not agreed 70 ignore the
cight.hour rule and return gradually and |
quietly 10 the ten.hour system. He re.
piled that he knew Of no such arrange
mGnt or agreement Such a question,
be said, had not been discussed At
the meetings Of the Association. At the |
same time he could not but confess that
the many employees who had given
the eight hour plan fair trial, had come
TO regard It as a failure, and gone back TO
tho ten hour system. An inquiry shows
that in certain trades the eight hour plan |
Is almost entirely ignored, this Is the case
with piano forte manufacturers, cabinet
makers, carYcrs, uphOlsters and iron
In these trades there were so
many Ol the employees who refused TO co.
operate with the working.men, that the
majority Of those who have acceded 10
tho demand for eight hours have been
compelled TO return TO the old system or |
failed altogether. Some Of the wOrkmen |
are in favor Of general strike, and wish
10 have those who arc working eight |
hours cease altogether until the employers
who are unwilling 10 grant reduction Of
hours shall be brought 10 terms. This has
been denounced as absurd and suicidal by |
trades whose numbers and organization |
compel a general Observance OF the eight
hour rule by their employees. Nothing
definite has yet been determined on.
The excise Commissioners have COM
pleated their examination Of applications

Doubts arc still entertained as 10 the
safety Of the overdue steamship Arndt.
On July 23d she was q little southeast Of
the Great New Foundland bank, and
July oath, il II is assumed that the vessel
at that time seen from the Oceanic was
the Arndt. She was 10 the east ol the
outer bank. From TINT position, her
agents say that she should have reached
81. Johns in four days, unless with very
adverse weather. The fact that she has
not reached ST. Johns, as Is known
within 16 days from the Gath Of July, Is
hard 10 explain. The hypothesis that she
might, in her disabled condition be max.
ing for Bermuda or one Of the West In.
dies, Is put to flight BY the consideration
Of hernortherly position when seen from
the King Oscar.
