present condition of trade reduction
of from ten to twenty per cent. on the
present scale was absolutely necessary
if the manufacturers wanted TO run
their mills without losing money, and
if the iron workers would not accept
such reduction, the mills would close
down at the expiration OF this month
and remain closed until better condi

tion, replied that the question of ac.
cepting reduction had been voted on
by all the lodges, and it had been
unanimously decided to resist any at.
tempt Of the manufacturers TO cut
wages. Others did not coincide with
the iron masters in regard to the condi.
ton Of the trade, and did not consider
that the tariff reductions and the pres
ent outlook would justify any reduction.
They were willing to work at last year =
wages but not for any less. Finding

A Dark Crime Unveiled

DUBLIN, May 2.-Patrick Delaney and
Thomas Csffrey, two more OF the men
charged with participation in the mur.
der OF Cavendsh and Burke, in Phnnix
Park, on the evening Of the 9th OF May,
were srrsigned for trial this morning.
They created q sensation in court by
pleading guilty to the charge against
them. They were both sentenced by
Judge OBrien TO be hanged on the
second day of June next. In pleading
guilty Delaney said he was forced to 60
to the park by the society to which he
belonged. lie saw the murders com.
mitted but took no part in them. lie
went to the park in Kavanagh's car.
Kavanagh and Carey, he said, speak
the truth. The murders we're commit

and by nobody else. CaHrey said he
had TO 60 to the park under pain OF
death, and that he did not know what
was going to happen until twenty
minutes before the murder was com.
mitted.
The sentence of Delaney will proba

now THE MARSHES CHARGED THE RECORDS
TO CONCEAL THEIR ISFAHY.

BosroN, May Sat the Tewksbury
examination to-day Lorenzo S. Fair.
banks testified that he had examined
the books in which Charles b. Marsh
had recorded the money of patients and
there are fifty four erasures and altera'
tions, forty y.seven of which were oi
figures in the money column. These
books cover the period from 1868, but
for the first ten years OF the present
management no books can be found.
The Governor then took the "history'
book and read that an inmate named
Allen had died in 1877 leaving SAG. On
the money" book Aliens assets ap'
peared as s and the book showed an
erssure as if changed from $40. An.
other book showed that 81 was paid TO
the State. Jane McGrath took S29 50
to TeUksbury, but was credited with
1888 and the books showed that an
erasure had been made in a most suspi.
cious manner. Elizabeth Barry was
credited with 81 in the history book,
but on the money book the figure az
had been altered to l." Mr.. Fairbanks
testified that in a number of entries on
the money book relating to assets oi
other patients erasures had been most
skillfully made 50 as to make the
amounts less than originally entered.
The house this morning voted $4,000
to the Tewksbury almshouse, which is
the same appropriation as that in the
vetoed charities bill.
The chairman Of the executive com
mittee OF the State board of health,
lunacy and charity, has reported to that
body that the committee has discovered
that Thomas Marsh, superintendent OF
Tewksbury almshouse, did not file any
bond for the faithful discharge OF his
duties when elected in July last. The
Law requires that such bond should be
gwen, TO be approved by the Governor
and fled with the State treasurer. This
adds q new complication to the Tewks-
bury discussion, and the question is
raised whether OF not there is any legal
superintendent of the almshouse or
assistants appointed under him.
The committee on expenditures called
upon Governor Butler to-day in relation
to the appropriation for the Tewksbury
almshouse. The Governor offered to
run the institution on his own system il
they appropriated 10000 a year. II
the expenses exceeded that amount he
would pay the excess out of his own
pocket.

ELECTRIC motors says the Philadelphia

cupied the attention OF electricians, and
several entirely successful inventions
have been taken out in this country and
in Europe for driving trains by electrici.
ty. The best known pstent Is are those Of
Edison, Field and Siemens. Recently
to prevent n conflict between the two
leading American patentees, Edison
and Field, negotiations were begun to
secure q consolidation Of their Interests
and, according to the New York Tinrf
this consolidation has just been accom-.
plished. On the report Of Professor
George +. Baker, OF the University Of
Pennsylvania, the patents have been
appraised At two million dollars, and a
company has been formed, with twenty
thousand shares Of one hundred dollars
each, to work the united motor mechan.
isms. Il is said that the company will
use tee Edison dynamo and the Field
device for propeling the cars. The first
experiment. will be made on Edison's
railway at Menlo Park, two steam en-.
gines being employed to generate elec.
tricity--one at each end OF the route
BY one device collisions will be avoided,
because the simple approach Of two
trains within a certain distance OF each
other will deprive them both OF their
motive power, Edison's experiments
at Menlo Park heretofore have secured
speed OF one mile in two minutes,
and even a higher rate can be obtained
under the present Improvements
Special efforts will DO made to introduce
tho new motor on the elevated roads in
New York, and sangunc hopes are en-.
tertAined that it will come into general
use not only on street railways but even
on the railroads now using steam.

Illinoisan as it was for the benefit oi
Long John Sherman in 1880. Mr.. Rsum
therefore found that the politest and
the pleasantest thing that remained to
him of his official career WAS TO resign
his office. To say that Mr.. Raurh's en-
forced retirement from official life
created an uproar among the stalwarts
and is producing the bitterest kind OF
feeling against the administration, es.
pecially in the west, is TO present the
truth in its mildest form.
Then the tariff question threatens a
division of the Republican party on a
line which will run straight through
both the stalwart and half.breed fac
tions. Journals like the New York
Commercial advertiser and the Chicago
Inter Ocean insist that the Republican
party is committed to tariff for pro.
lection only and read out of the party
unceremoniously all who dare to differ
from them on this point. On the other
hand another class OF Republican or.
gans of which the New York Times and
the Chicago Tribune are representatives,
declare for tariff for revenue only and
refuse TO swallow the protection dose
which is very verjuice to their stomachs
Under such circumstances it is not a
matter of wonder that reconciliation
fails to reconcile.-HarriSJurg Patriot.

The Census and the Forests.

Hitherto the forests have been looked
upon chiefly as the source OF lumber
supply, and the census has taken ac-
count Of them only 80 far as to report
the statistics Of the lumber trade, and
some OF the industries connected with il
or deriyable from it. But the impor-
lance Of the forests at once appears
when we consider that the census OF
1870 reported the annual value OF sawed
lumber produced by our forests AS S2lO,-
l59, 327, and that there were 63,928 es-
Establishments engaged in the manufac-
ture of articles made entirely of wood,
besides l09,5 l2 establishments in which
wood il an important part Of the mate
rial used -as in the manufacture Of
carriages, agricultural implements, etc
Ii has been estimated that the value of
the products annually drawn from our
forests exceeds 81 ,000, 100000, and of
the vast imports of Great Britain two
thirds are said to be Of ycget able char
acter. Such facts show at once the
very prominent place which the forests
Of the world hold among national inter-
ests. But, in addition to the bearing of
the forests upon the mechanical indus
| tries of life, they have an important re-
| ladon to climate and to the meteorologic
conditions on which agriculture and
commerce and the health and life of the
people depend. When all these things
| are taken into account, a until recently
they have not been, it becomes at once
apparent that no subject, perhaps, de-
serves more consideration among the
re sources of country, and that the
| special attention given il in the compi-
lation Of the present census is abundant
ly warranted.
| Accordingly, the cndeayor has been
made to ascertain, with more complete
ness and precision than ever before, the
situation of the country in respect to its
woody covering; TO learn to what ex-
tent the several States and Territories
abound in trees in masses; of what spe-
cies of trees the forests are composed,
their location. and their commercial and
industrial value. The work of ascer-
tanning these facts, and presenting them
in proper form rs part of the census re-
turns was committed by the Department
of the Interior to Professor c. 5. Sar-
gent, of Harvard University, who is also
manager of the Arnold Arboreum at
Brooklinc In carrying out the work
assigned TO him, Professor Sargent di-
vidcd the whole country into several
districts, each Of which was given in
charge to one or two competent per-
sons, with the needful assistants, for the
purpose OF making personal eXamina-
ton of the districts, and also ascertain
ing facts by correspondence with resi-
dents of different parts of the districts,
so that sufficiently exact report might
be- made in regard TO the underground
of the country. Professor Sargent per
sonally undertook the exploration of the
