PHILADELPHIA, August 4.-Whilc Aaron
shull, OF No. 1907 Frankford road, was
walking along the Delaware wharves, near
Poplar street, he noticed an object float.
ing around the pier Of that point, which, at
frst sight, he supposed was los. Out OF
curiosity he approached nearer, when, to
his astonishment, he found it to be a hu.
man body. Procuring assistance he sue
ceeded in getting it ashore, and was horri.
fled to see nothing but trunk,
without head or arms, and with
the person SO much decomposed as to
make it m impossibility to tell the sex.
The police were at once notified and the
Coroner informed OF the discovery. The
remains were removed to the Morgue.
where they await identification, which, by
the way, isalmost IN impossibility. Inquiry
in the upper section OF the city last night
elected the fact that some Kensiugton fish.
ermen have been using the body as bait to
attract eels. Just how long this has been
going on could not be ascertained, and
owing to the frightialiy decomposed state
Of the remains, the terrible crime that NAV
have been committed will probably never
be brought to light. 5a5, 3 f55ai,,j@- -

LITTLE Rock, ARK, August 4.-The
trouble begun in the northwestern part Of
the Greek nation last week, by tile arrest Of
criminal and his rescue, and the murder
Of his jailer, Capt. Sam Scott, by gang Of
the Sands men, is not yet settled. U. s.
Marshal Beck, who was in Fl. Smith yes
terday,gives the following view Of the situa-
ton: 81
Monday night Sands men we're camp
ed on Pecan Creek, nine miles from Mus
cogee, in command Of noted desperado
named Dick Glass. Chief Checot, of the
Creek Nation, was in camp eighteen miles
distant with $50 men, and the citizens
were still coming 10 his aid He says that
when the command reaches 500 he will
arrest the twelve slayers of Captain Scott.
The Sands men were called on by Agent
TUFTS, at Muscogee, who advised them to sur
render the men wanted by the authorities as
the only means OF preventing bloodshed,
This they emphatically refused 10 do, and de.
clared thatthey intended to stand BY their
comrade TO the bitter end. Great excite
ment prevails over the nation. As mat
ters now stand, the Glass gang must either
dispersc and let Captain Scott's murderer
take his chances with the officers or blood.

Wst Virginia Democratic convention,
however, that meets at parkersburg on the

the Parkersburs convention will be entirely
obiyious on the Steal
The facts in regard to the passage Of the
"stealn are easily told. In nut shell they
ae as follows: The bill was passed over

Republicans, 81 Democrats, . Independent
Democrats, and Greenbackers. OF those

There was nothing apparently In the phy.
steal condition Of Mrs. Smith previous 10
her illness, TO indicate that she was about

GU that 1t was even more wonderful be-
ing than the famous Siamese twins. The
heads, arms and legs were ceparate and
distinct. A tleshy ligament extending from
below the shoulder.bludes down the sides,
covering almost one.hali OF each abdomen,
made the bodies appear almost like
one. There was no malformation
in the individual bodies except
where the connection was made. Each
infant, 10 speak of them as two, was natur-.
ally proportioned and Of normal size. The
weight Of each was seven pounds and the
sex female. It was found that the connect.
ing band Of flesh was filled with arteries
and veins, aud that the life Of one was de-
pendent upon that OF the other. Whether
there existed two sets OF ribs on the side
where the bodies joined It WIS impossible
to determine without IN autopsy, but from
all external appearances it seemed that
there were two sets OF ribs that were only
partially developed. The lungs were sepa.
rate, but 1t could not be ascertained
whether there were two hearts or not. The
monstrosity possesses two baclbones, two
stomachs, and two sets Of livers, while the
pelvis seemed to be Joined at It's anterior
portions. Taken altogether, there was
such an intimate relation between all the
parts and organs that the monstosity can
be properly denominated double child,
whose life, had il lived, would have been
dependent upon each OF the bodies.

FREIGHT HANDLERs' STRIKE.

More Confident or winning Now With
the Rush Of Autumn Trade.
New YoRx, August 1.-The rush Of
freight to the railroad piers and depots in
this city is slowly but steadily increasing.
The boast Of the railroad companies that
they could promptly handle any freight
brought to them for shipment is about to
be severely tested. The men ut work in
St Johns Park Depot, surrounded as they
are with guard Of forty police.
men, make very poor headway with
the freight. Early in the forenoon three
OF the five doorways open for the reception
OF freight on the Laight street side were
completely blocked with freight, although
up TO that time comparatively few trucks
had discharged their loads. The platforms
back OF the cars was also filled with boxes,
barrels and bales OF goods Of all descrip.
tions Hudson street, in front OF the depot,
was crowded with freight cars, so that
there was only II narrow passageway for
the usual street traffic. i'Sllr n. +.
At Pier Of the Pennsylvania line, the
rush Of freight is so great that Battery Place
in front OF the pier is crowded with loaded
trucks waiting chance 10 unload. At piers
"a, S, lG and SO Of the same road, the gangs
OF Italians and Jews employed by the com.
pany are kept constantly on the run, en-.
deavoring to dispose OF the increased ship.
mens. Piers Il, IL and II, used by the
New. Jersey Central, give evidence OF in
creased traffic, the depot filled with
freight and several trucks are on West
street outside Of the depot waiting to dis
pose Of their loads. The depot OF the
New York Central 4 Hudson River
road, foot OF Barclay street, was partly

ly waiting to be unloaded. The doors OF
the Star-Union depot, pier 3S, kept closed
until near noon, SO that the freight receiv-
ed, and which completely filled the front
OF the depot, could be disposed of.
AT the meeting Of strikers in jersey City
President Mcnamara stated that the
chances Of their winning the fight were
better than ever; that the rush OF west
bound freight had begun, and every day
would make it more difficult for the
companies TO get along with the new
hands He stated that he had receiv-
ed an anonymous letter, which, after flat
terins him with praise for keeping the
men together, went on TO say that the time
had now arrived for the men to give in,
and that he should be responsible for the
men holding out longer. Mr.. Mcnamara
branded this as an effort OF the rail-
road: TO discourage the men and to in
timidate him. lie said that forty SUBJ

PITTSBURGH, Pa, August 1.-THE situa-
ton at Mckeesport becomes more interest
ing each day, and it seems certain that
il the new policeman don't act with
more promptness and decision, somebody
will be hurt. To-day the crowds OF strikers
about the rolling mill was greater
than ever and included number
Of women. Tho abuse and insult
heaped upon the non.union men was more
open and aggrayating, and the missiles
hurled included rag babies and bricks.
The force at work, however, showed
an increase and the presence Of
the manager, Flasler helped to restore
confidence TO many. The better ele-
ment among the citizens are indignant
over these disturbances, and the inciiicien-
cy Of the special police comes in for consid-
erable comment. all the workmen are es-
corted TO and from their labors, and the
impression prevails that more serious dis.
turbance will take place before long.
The members Of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation disclaim the action OF the turbu-
lent nature, but violent threats are heard
from their side Of the opposing factions.

WASHINGTON, August 4.-Although there

question appears to be which party shall

still in conference, but conclusion, it is

CHAMBERsnURd, August There is now
pending in the Equity Court Of this coun-s iiit. J.
ty a controversy between different factions
OF the sect Of Dunkers, the determination
of which will be OF interest to this branch I
OF the Christian Church throughout the
country. OF recent years many innoyia,.S
tons upon the old.timc customs Z have
crept in among these people, IA the
younger portion Of the church insisting
upon education and paid ministry thes
establishment OF Sunday schools 4 and )
the like. They have also insisted that theys
should be allowed to dress according to the
customs Of the times and be allowed the /; Il
musical instruments in their homes. 4, AT n
q meeting OF the annual conference held &
at Lanark, Illinois, in 1850, resolution
was offered condemning these practices. 2
but so far had the pro2ressiyists advanced J
that the resolution failed TO carry, 4 Mean

church there are serious dissensions. So

me to positively deny the assertions
Of the pilots in that respect, but until evil
