CRUSHED 70 DEATH.
A Bank of Earth Caves in and Kills q
Workman.

A Bank of Earth Caves in and Kills q
Workman.
Another of those terrible and appar-
emily unavoidable accidents, resulting in
the loss Of human life, occurred yesterday
afternoon, the unfortunate victim q
young man in the prime Of life named
Timothy Mccarthy meeting with sudden
death by the caving in Of an embank-
ment. The accident occurred about 8
O'Clock, when party of laborers were en-
gagged tearing down high embankment
of earth at the foundation of the north side
of Fourth street and lying between the
of Robinson & Cary and the st. Paul &
Omaha railroad company. The work
was under contract with Mr.. Swenk and
and in immediate charge Of John Kenny
as foreman. Mr.. Swenk was absent at
the time of the accident.
The embankment had been partially
removed, and the part on which the de-
ceased and others were at work, was
nearly thirty-five feet high. At the time
Of the accident young Mccarthy was
shovellng dirt on table rock about mid
way up the embankment. While so en-
gagged a portion Of the embankment gave
way and he was partly covered with sand.
One of the workmen aushed to his rescue,
but few seconds later huge avalanche
of clay and rock came tumbling down and
crushed him under three or four feet of
debris. The workmen proceeded with all
possible speed to extricate the unfortu-
nate man, and as soon as his body was in
sight dug with their hands to guard
against lnjuring him.
The work of removing the dirt occupied
nearly half hour and when the body
was reached, life was found to be quite
extinct although the form was still warm.
1t is supposed that death must have been
almost Immediate from suffocation.
The body was removed to the store of
Mccarthy & Donnelly, where an inquest
will be held at 10 o'clock this morning.
The deceased was young man d years
of age, of excellent habits and only
four months from the old country. He
was single, has brother in this city and
was the nephew Of Aid. ]. G. Mccarthy
and Mrs. Connors of the Sixth ward.
The deceased was brought over from
Ireland by Alderman Mccarthy, last fall.
About ten years ago his uncle Tim was
killed in similar way, very near the
same spot. Death produced in this way
is COED deal Etoo frequent in st. Paul,
and it is time a thorough investigation
was made as to who is to blame.

Congregational Action.


The thirty second monthly meeting Of
the Minnesota State Congregational club
was held last evening at the residence of
Mr.. D. c. Bell, Minneapolis. A large
delegation of st. Paul ministers and lay
men were present, and returned on a
special train last night. The following
resolutions were adopted.
WHEREAS, Polygamous Mormonism is on
the increase in this country, menacing the
national safety and outraging the moral sense
of the age, and
WHEREAS, 1t is openly hostile to our in
situations, and boldly defes or nullifies the
laws of the land as well as degrades and de-
humanizes those that practice it, therefore
be it,
Resolued, By the Congregational club of
uary %.
First, That this system of immortality and
relic of barbarism should now be promptly
suppressed by the enforcement of these laws
hitherto defed in the territory OF Utah.
Second, That as citizens we in concert
with others of every religious faith and
political party, call upon the congress now in
session, to take measures to enact or enforce
laws respecting this monstrous evil which
the awakened Sentiment Of the country now
demands. and to maintain the power of the
federal government throughout the entire
territory now the seat of Mormon influence
and rule.
Third, That we regard the factious
opposition in congress to such leg
islation as may be necessary to sup
press this crime against society, this foe of
social purity and civil order, as disgraceful and
unworthy of representatives of an intelligent
and virtuous nation, such as ours claims
to be.
Fourth-That we deem it the duty of all pol
itical parties, of all churches, of al private
citizens to protect in every way possible
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1882-01-24

against the continuance Of this abhorrent sys-
tenn, which has been branded as crime by all
the civilized nations of the world.
Fifth-That we respectfully urge our repre-
sentatives In the present congress to aid In Sc
curing in good faith whatever legislation may
be deemed necessary to rid the land of this abb
Ominati0n.
Sixth-That copy of these resolutions,
duly inclosed by the officers of this club be sent
to our representatives in congress and pub
lished in the daily papers of 81. Paul land Min

Trial of the Safe Blowers.

The trial Of criminal cases was COM
menced in the district court yesterday
morning. The first cause taken up was
that of W. D. Smith and J. Hamilton,
indicted for larceny from the shop of
Breen & Young on the 9Th of December.
1t will be remembered that the safe was
blown open, and that defendants were
arrested in the vicinity Immediately after
the affair, under strong suspicious of
guilt. A jury was sworn, and Mr.. G. D.
O'Brien, counsel for defendants, asked
for separate trials. Mr.. Eagan consented,
and the case against Smith proceeded to
trial, taking up the entire day.

THE congressional committed which
investigated Sherman's pilferings from

partment, will not, it is said, reflect on

chases made hereafter out of the con-
tingent fund shall be itemized. In ether
words, the horse having been stolen, the
door is now to be closed, and no effort
made to punish the thief. The senate is
too close now to spare Sherman at the
present time and it would have been more
manly and honest for the committee to
have said so in plain English.

THE practice of paying engineers by
the hour has led to abuse and the endan-
gering of human life by their trying to
put in too many hours work without
sleep, in order to increase their wages.
This practice has caused the Lake Shore
road to issue an order forbidding engi-
neers to go on duty for ten hours after
coming off their regular run. 1t would
be a move in the right direction if all
the roads were to issue a similar order.

Hon. GARRISON N. POTTER died of
Bright's disease yesterday, in New York.
Mr.. Potters death at this time is truly a
national calamity, AS constitutional
lawyer and statesman he stood in the
front rank in this country. He has repre-
sented in congress the district in which
he lived in New York with exceptional
ability and fidelity, and no man ever left
the halls of congress more free from the
faint of personal or official corruption
than the deceased statesman.

Asati-P 0lygansy.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Ths senate judiciary
committee to-day agreed on bill designed for
suppressing polygamy. It's main features are
sections based on Edmund's bill, doing away
with the present requirement for proofs of
polygamous marriage by providing that the
fact of living in bigamous relations shall be
sufficient evidence for conviction, and that in
prosecution for bigamy, any person drawn as
ajuryman may be challenged on the ground
that he practices or believes in polygamy as
religious rites; and certain new provisions in
troduced by Senator Logan debarring all
polygamists from the privileges of voting,
service on juries, or holding Office. With
view of getting all Democratic senator's to
vote for it, and thus commend 1t to the Demo-
crat house, Senator Thurman moved its re-
consideration. The motion slumbered, and
the bill was never called up again, and thus it
died, and the senator added, had that passed
Tilden would have been president. That mo-
ton of Humans was the fatal mistake, and
Thurman has realized 1t since. Senator Pugh's
bill is not in the nature of substitute for
Edmund's, but it is intended as an addition to
it, and relates simply to the matter of fraudu-
lent or simulated election returns.

CONFEDERATE BONDS.

Statement by Judah p. Benz anatn, Shosc-
ting the Absence of Any ASSETS to Meet
Outstanding Liabilities of the Late AZ
legged Confederocy.
Mr.. S. L. NJ. Barlow furnishes the
World with the following letter from Ju-
dab P. Benjamin, secretary of state of
the southern confederaey:
1 have no objection whatever to give
you all the information possess on the
subject Of the confederate bonds which
some spectators on the stock exchange
have made the subject of inquiry, on the
rumors sedulously spread abroad that
there are vast sums deposited in the Bank
OF England and elsewhere in Europe The
confederate government never had but
two means of raising money In Europe.
One was by the export of cotton, all of
which was consigned to the house of
Fraser, Trenholm 81 Co., of Liverpool
The other was by the lean effected
through Messrs. Granger & Co., and
Schroeder & Co., the proceeds of which
were all received by Colin j. MacRae, the
financial agent of the government. At
the close of the war the United States
government, claiming the right to receive
the entire assets of the confederate gov
eminent, instituted suits against Fraser,
Trenholm & Co. and against McRae. At
ter determined and protracted litigation
Fraser, Trenholm & Co. were driven into
bankruptcy, as their whole business was
destroyed and their credit broken by the
apprehensions created in the
mercantile world of the result of
the enormous claims hanging over them,
when they really owed little or nothing
and think the United States ultimately
received few thousand dollars as COM
promise. McRoe proved, in his case,
that he had rendered full and faithful
account to the confederate government
of the entire proceeds of the loan in pay
ment Of supplies and munitions of war
to the various commissariat and quar-
termaster officers in this country and of
the coupons on the bonds, but he was
ready to render his accounts over again if
the United Stateswould agree to reimburse
him any balance found due in his favor
This was declined. Poor McRea, in shat
tered health and with q few hundred
pounds, the wreck of his fortune, emf
grated to Spanish Honduras, where he
sought to earn support on small stock
farm, but he died in extremely reduced
circumstances, The last payment of
coupons on the confederate loan was
only effected after great effort by means
of cotton sold through Frazer, Tren-
holm &c Co., as all the proceeds
of the loan had long since been exhausted.
The Uuited States government also re-
ceived some supplies, machinery and sew
eral vessels, in fact everything that re-
manned from the wreck, and l don't be-
lieve that one penny is to be found any
where Of the assets of the defunct con-
federacy. If anything can ever be recov-
cred by the bondholders, it can only be
by government action in the United
States, and you can judge better than L
can if there is the remotest hope of any
such action. Yours faithfully,
j. P. BENJAMIN.

MR.. c. D. o'BRIEN

COmmlttee on RESOLUTIONS.
MR.. c. D. O'BRIEN
was first introduced by Governor Hubbard
for the purpose of explaining the legal
aspect of the condition of polygamy. He
first explained the sources of political and
judicial power in the United States, the
sovereignty of each state within its own
limits, after which he showed how the
states differed from the territories in this
respect. In the territories congress has
full and absolute authority It is within
the power of congress to wipe out polyga-
my wholly and entirely. There can be no
doubt about this. It is not a matter of
conscience at all. 1t is we'll known that
state governments cannot under the con-
stltution of the United States itself leg
islate in regard to matters of conscience;
that must be left to the individual him
self. This matter of polygamy does not
come under the head of conscience.
REV. D. R. BREED
thought there was one point all ought to
bear in mind and that is that the people
throughout the country, from ocean to
ocean are gathered together to condemn
this matter of polygamy. It is our duty to
call upon congress to wipe it out.
At first polygamy was NO
part of the Mormon system.
Joseph Smith, after living with several
women, and thus arousing public opin-
ion against him, pretended to receive a
revelation from heaven sanctiOning
polygamy, and since then it has grown
into general practied among the Nor

NJ. de Bartholomew, the Russian minister at

better opinion is, he will not. He fell into

The Bishop recognizes the propriety of organ
izing relief for them outside the church, but
takes the position that he cannot allow the
church to be used for political purposes His
action in the case will commend itself to those
who can see an inch beyond them and the bad
results which would flow from the establish
