GLASGOW, Oct. 27, 1878.
The strike on the Clyde which began
yesterday with the boilermakers and the
iron shipbuilders Is spreading, and the
men en- p.oyed in large engineering
firm on the south bank of the river and
at several other yards are expected TO
follow IN the course of the week. The
committee of the Anal gamat.d Society
OF Engineers Machinists, Millwrigbts,
Smiths and Pattern Makers-an organi-
zatlon containing iwenty-tbree lodges
and 5000 memberships decided to
make every effort to lessen the reduction
OF wages aud to recommend strike only
as last resort.
DARK PROSPECTS.
Exceedingly gloomy accounts are re-
ceived from all the trade centres. At
'Blahtyre further reduction of wages is
announced. At Cambuslang the Flem-
ington Coal Company has stopped Its
principle pits, thus throwing over one
hundred miners out of work. At the
North Wales collieries notices of reduc-
tions ranging from five to seven per cent
are proposed owing to the depression of
trade. The Northumberland Miners
Union will meet the employers to dis
cuss the projected reduction of twelve
and one-half per cent. or the extension
OF work one hour per shift.

A statement has been published as from the
bureau in Washington, estimating the cotton
crop of the present season at five millions and
a half bales.
Such estimates are not only entirely unre-
liable, but highly detrimental and Injurious
to the interests Of q large class OF our South
ern people They have had Affections enough
this season without the addition Of this utter
" unreliable statement. When such state
ment emanates from the seat Of the Federal
government it is calculated, if noticed, to
produce the most disastrous effects. There
is nothing to justify it. It is not possible to
estimate from any knowledge, possessed by
anv persons, the receipts Of the growth OF
wear, when communications have been inter-
r,1Dted by a pestilence such as has swept
through the cotton zone. All attempts at
such estimates are mere drafts upon the
imagination. Their publication Is prompted
bv some interest to depreciate the price OF our
chief staple The Federal government ought
not to lend its authority to assist such selfish
schemes. It is a great wrong to the pro-
ducers of cotton when they do so. Just ana
reliable estimates we do not object to. But

A RECORD OF CRIME,

New York has lately been excited over q
number of terrible and mysterious tragedies,
which have occurred in that and adjoining
localities in different States. First came the
Bishop Cobb case, in which W, W. Bishop and
Mrs Kate Cobb put away, respectively, q
wife and husband in order to clear the way
for the consummation Of their illicit loves.
The uncertainty in this case was dispelled by
the confession, the other day, of Bishop.
Another horrible case is the Billings affair,
in which husband Is accused Of numbering
his wife. Still another Is the case Of the Rev.
Fl. H. Hayden, charged with the murder Of
Mary E. Stannard, young woman with
whom he is said to have had Illicit connection.
Another Is the 'Silver Lake mystery" as it
is called and which is 50 called from the fact
that at locality known as Silver Lake, on
Staten Island, was recently found the body
of an unknown woman buried in a barrel.
But the most shocking and bloOd-curdling
of all these horrors was the murder Of one
Frank Weinbecker, known as "Stuttering
jack" at Bridgeport, Connecticut, it is
charged, by Frank Bassett and his mistress,
Mrs. Lorena E. Alexander. In this case the
sole motive for the murder appears to have
been the miserable pittance that the murder
ers hoped to realize from the sale Of the VIC
TINS body for purposes Of dissection. These
| people seem to have revived the crime OF
| "Birking," which took it's name from family
| in Scotland that had for years followed the
trade of numbering human beings and selling
their bodies On the preliminary examination
of Mrs. Alexander it was proven that she had
approached two physicians with offers OF
bodies, and that she had even proposed to sell
her own. On one occasion she was accompa-
MED by q young woman named Lizzie
Cavanagh, who also offered to sell
herself to the doctors for dissection
she says, at the nstigati0n of the Law
renee woman, Of whom she was in mortal
fear and from whom she escaped in order tc
save her life. It is believed that the discov'
ery Of this fearful crime will lead to the de-
lection Of many others. In her voluntary
statement Mrs. Lawrence testified that Vein
becker was killed by Bassett on May TO-
when, in fact, the date was May u, and it is
believed, 50 numerous are the crimes attri
buted to her, that in giving that date sht
: confused the date of another murder witt
that of Weinbecker. A young man who was
intimate with her about that time is sale
to have mysteriously disappeared, and it /;
also charged that she committed another
murder while keeping a Bridgeport house o
J ill-fame. Since Mrs. Lawrence's arrest a clu
has been found which also traces the death O

Mr.. Allan r. Wilson, of Marin county, Cali

and they were evidently honest and earnest
ones. Hedied leaving q handsome estate, one
half Of which he left to his wife, as community
property, and the other half to his only son,

ditions:
'If he dies before having q child, the prop
erty Is to go to the orphan asylum which has
been longest established, and in which no
person In authority is q Roman Catholic. He
year for her support, cOntriVing, however,
that she shall not give any money, not even
to the extent Of ST. to any Catholic priest,
church or society. IF the son attalns the age
of ten years, and then uses tobacco or alcohol,
wine, beer or cider Us a beverage, he
shall forfeit all rights under the will or
pass @ month and live upon nothing
but bread and water, and each time he
commits the offense the penance must be re-
peated, II, after eighteen years Of age, he
shall drink or smoke, he shall forfeit his es-
tate, or, instead, work steadily for q year as
q common farm labOrer, and save One~haf Of
his wages. IT he becomes q Catholic, or,
after being eighteen years OF age, he shall
give any money whatever to q Catholic
priest, or even laymen he shall forfeit his
estate"

to the agency Of this terrible woman. The
circumstances all go to show that the body OF
the young woman buried in q barrel on
Staten Island Was that Of one her VIC
Tins, which she had failed to dispose
Of The efforts to identify this body
which have for several weeks engaged
the attention Of the New York police, but to
no purpose, have, however, served to bring
out some startling disclosures. The friends
and relatives of ten or twelve young women
who have mysteriously disappeared, leaving
no clue to their whereabouts, have viewed the
body with the purpose ofidentfying it rs that
of their lost one. The discovery Of the body
has also occasiOned the disinterment and ex-
animation Of the remains of young girl
buried several weeks before, disclosing the
fact that her death had been procured by NAL
practice, for which crime three doctors and tho
janitOr and matrOn Of q medical institution
have been arrested and held for trial.
It is seldom, indeed, that such Il record OF
human deprayity and fieudish cruelty as this
case affords is presented to the world. 1t is
simply one Of those abnormal cases which
the noralist cannot make text Of and which
only cries aloud for the inexOrable vengeance
of the law. Nothing can be dcduced from it,
nor can it be made q lesson Of.

Heretofore it has been our custom, In com
mon with that of other journals OF this city,
TO publish on the first Of September Oh an

cumstances we deemed it expedient to post
none the publication of our annual statement

Iowa politicians are in quandary. An
election for congressman was held last Tues
day, and now it is contended that the proper
time for such election is the fifth Of NoVem-
ber The late election was held under the
State law; but as Congress failed to except
Iowa from the provisions of the general con-
gregsional election bill, it would appear that
those who insist upon another vote have
the law with them. The Republican Gov
ernor, however, does not think SO, and will
make no provision for the November election
The Democrats and Greenbackers are COM
bining on new tickets and declare the late
election void. They will proceed to vote
for their candidates on the fifth Of
November. The Republicans will prob
ably make no new nominations,
and will refuse to vote again. This Is almost
Identical with the Colorado case, decided at
the last session Of Congress, where Bedford
(Republcan) was elected under the State law
in October and Patterson (Democrat) was
chosen under the general law In November,
Patterson was admitted. AS is proposed in
Iowa, the Republicans of Colorado permitted
the November election to go by default. With
such a recent precedent against them 1t Is
hard to see how the Iowa Republicans can
expect Tuesdays election of Congressman to
hold gdod. Their action may result in
united opposition delegation in the next Con-
0reSS.

The affair at Waterproof, Tensas parish, In
which Capt Peck was killed, was more Sc
rious than at first reported. Four negroes
were also killed, and Fairfax, a notorious
negro leader, and candidate for Congress for
the short term, was wounded. This fellow
Fairfax, together with J. Ross Stewart, has
been making incendary speeches to the ne
groes, melting riot and bloodshed, and the
blood Of the five victims Of the recent dis
turbance Is on his head. Further trouble is
anticipated, as the negroes threaten to attack
and destroy the town Of st. Joseph. They
will meet q warm reception if this Is attempt
ed, as the whites are armed and Will defend
themselves reSOlutely.
