drifts which continued over forty-eight hours,
at times increasing to perfect hurricane.
Twenty-Five vessels were totally wrecked in

PREsENTxENrs AGAINST NEABERs OF THE GLASS
BLOWERS UNION FOR CONSPIRACY.
The grand jury Of Baltimore has found pre-.
sentiments OF conspiracy and intimidation
against twenty-one members Of the glass-work.
ers' union. Seventeen of the men were arrested
yesterday morning. They were taken before
Sheriff Hunter, and eleven OF them gave $2O(
bail each to appear at court. Tho others were
sent to Jail in default of bail, but their friends
soon procured security forthem, and they were
released. Four OF the twenty-one were not in
the city. One Of these, Mr.. Isaac Cline. presi.
dent CT the union, is in Pittsburg, and has no,
been in Baltimore for some time The arrest oil
the men was effected quietly and without the
slightest trouble. Police Capt. Delanty sent
Sergeants Dull and Parks to notify the strikers
OF what had taken place, and they Immediately
volunteered to go. They were sent to the
sheriff7s Office
The sam says: ''The charge against the glass
workers is conspiracy to entice foreign work
men from the employ of Messrs. Swintieii Bros.
and also OF intimidating the business.
The Messrs. Swndel recently imported a
number of Belgian glass-bOwers and paid them
the wages that were paid here to American
workmen previous to the demand for all ad.
vance and the strike which followed The
American workmen say they did not go neal
Messrs. Swindell Bros factory. nor did they use
force in any way, as such things are distinctly
forbidden by the rules of the union. But they
say that they did meet the foreigners on the
streets. and, by means of interpreters, explained
to them the reasons for the strike ard asked
them to side with them promising that they
should receive the same weekly benefits from
the union that they themselves were getting
They say the foreigners acknowledged the JUS
tice of their claims and joined them 1t is said
that only three of the foreigners have remained
In the service Of Messrs. Swindell Bros. The
strikers and the foreigners that are with them
seem to be on the best terms, as they associate
together and are very friendly.
The union will shortly increase the weekly
amount of money allowed each of the strikers
so that they may hold out during the winter
The same trouble that prevails here also exists
in Pennsylvania. where it was reported the
militia had been ordered out to subdue the
strikers. but letters received by the Baltimore
strikers say these reports are false and greatly
magnified. Police Captain Deanty says the
glass-workers of Baltimore are orderly, hard
working citizens"

Doubtful Massachusetts Ballots.
from the Lowell Mass. Courier

There were fewer errors than usual, but quite
enough to cause an interesting contest If the
vote had been very close. Under the new law
several returns were sent back to the town off,
GERS for amendment. But, Of course. these were
only errors Of returns and involved no construc-
ton OF doubtful ballots. Votes for Gen. Butler
were cast in almost every conceivable form
such as BENZ. F. Butler of Newton" ''Benj. I.
Butler" 'Ben Butler" "Benj. F. Butlr." "B f.
Butler" and enc vote was simply for Butler"
The same was true to a less extent OF the votes
for Bishop, the republican candidate for gov
ernor. The frequency Of votes for "Beni. +.
Butler Of Newton" and for Robert r. Bishop
OF Lowell" was caused, of course by pastors
which covered the name Of TIE opposing candi-
date but not his residence. Every vote cast for
any kind of a Bishop was counted for the repub-
lican candidate. and every vote for any kind Of
Butler was counted for the democratic cand-
date. What would happen II the election were
close enough to be contested it is not easy to
say.

MY House Not Made With Hands.
Boston Home Journal

Deep in a dell of untrodden ways,
Hid from the Sunl1ghtS midday glare,
Crowned with the mist OF a purple haze,
Rises my mansion tall and fair.
Over the hills and far away,
Over the deep seas lurid sands,
STEPPED In the rest OF a holiday,
There Is my house, not made with hands
Pale lights CLEAN through the shadowy halls.
Velvets soft press the lingering feet,
Pictures smile from the tinted wallis
Roses bloom in luxuriance sweet.
Every sound of the worlds rude strife.
Tears for the faces turned away,
Every sigh from wearied life,
flushed in strain OF melody.
Tenderest music, soft and low,
Floating In on the perfumed air,
SOMEBODY out OF the Long Ago
Lights the room with her presence fair.
Subtle, sweet, but serene and cold,
Sits and smiles with her brilliant smile,
Eyes OF azure, locks OF gold
Where has she fingered this weary while9
In my house not made with hands,
Children dance all the long bright day:
Open the nursery window stands,
hear her singing rondelay.
Ny stately lady with azure eyes,
All, she has melted meath these soft skies,
Learned the lesson taught OF old.
Out OF her cerements, chill and white.
Wakes and loves me, and understands: j.
Oh for wings to be borne tonight,
Swift to my house-not made with hands

Our Roasted Civilization.

JUDGE BARRETT MAKES A REMARKABLE STATE
MENT ON ONE EVIL. OF THE PRESENT DAY.
From the New York World 10Th.
The suit brought by Katie Hothusen against
Benjamin Schlessinger for damages for alleged
betrayal under promise of marriage was tried
yesterday before Judge Barrett and a Jury in
supreme court, circuit. In charging the iury
Judge Barrett said: "There is something to me

that it has been brought before US. Entirely in

quate for sustenance, surrounded by every DOS
sible temptation, maybe the greatest Of all temp
tatiOns, that which springs from actual want
and pressing need. There is another very sad
thing to me about this case and that is the low
atmosphere Of vulgar animality which runs
through IT, and the cheapness with which
female virtue and female honor have been
treated. That feature of the case is positively
sickening; the utter disregard of those sacred
things which are implanted in every decent
mans breast, the lightness, the levity, and
even the brutality with which reference has
been made to the weaker and the gentler sex.
