A horrible crime, perpetrated by young
colorcd woman, was discovered yesterday
morning at No. 81 Adelaide street. The crying
of an infant was heard In vault and an exam
ination showed that two newly-born colored
babies had been thrown therein. Suspicion
turned upon Harriet Oliver, domestic en-
ployed IN the family, but she could not be
found. Detective Mcdonnell and Rounds
man Culver were detailed 20 investigate the
case after a report OF 1t was made to the po-
lice, and upon proceeding TO the house, took
the babes from where they had been deposited
They had been wrapped together In cloth and
one was found TO be dead. The other was taken
care Of and found TO be uniniured. Coroner
Locke was summoned and adjourned the In
quest on the dead infant until Saturday night
next The officers went IN search of the
mother and found her at her home, No. 107
Watson street. She had her trunk packed and
was making arrangements TO leave the city.
There were two women In the house and at
first all knowledge of the affair was denied.
One OF the women was then taken into another
room and upon being closely questioned said
that the other, Harriet Oliver, was the mother
Of the babes. When the latter was confronted
she admitted that she placed the infants in the
vault, but disclaimed any criminal intention.
She was arrested and taken TO the Gratiot

taken. She was removed TO the Central Station,

POLITICAL

The Ohio state prohibition convention
held In Columbus on the l4th inst. was the
largest and most enthusiastic convention ever
held by that party in Ohio. Considering the
many phases OF the question involved the con-
vention was remarkably harmonious. The
prohibitionists endorse the national platform
adopted at Chicago last year, denounce person
al liberty as advocated by the Democrats, and
the policy OF taxation embodied In the much
talked of Scott and Pond laws, condemn the
taxation proposition of the constitutional
amendment, and favor the adoption of pro-
hlbitory clause, and urge the value of educa-
ton of the young upon this all important ques.
ton OF temperance. The ticket nominated was
as follows: Governor, Ferdinand Schumacher,
Summit county; Lieutenant Governor, II. Il.

Supreme Judge Qong term), ID. G. Montgom-
cry, Knox county; Clerk Supreme Court, J. III.

THE DEMOCRATIC CLAN.
The Ohio Democrats assembled in
Columbus on the Goth inst, and was, without
exception, the largest convention ever held by
that party in that state. The platform adopted
was against protection and for personal lib
erty." They demand publication Of the pub
lie service, equalization Of public burdens,
favor tariff for revenue limited to the neces-
stiles of the government and demand the abol-
ishment OF the contract labor system. After
ID hours OF continuous session a ticket was
nominated with Judge Hoadley Of Cincinnati
at the head as nominee for governor, and John
governor. The rest of the ticket was made out
as follows: Supreme judge, short term, Mar
tin ID. Follett of Washington county; supreme
judge, long term, Selwin Olwin OF Williams

THE moral of catastrophe is seldom
so direct and apparent as it is in the
frightful calamity that has cast a shadow
over Sunderland, Eng, and brought
sorrow to so many hearts in that city.
Victoria Hall was not poorly con-
structed, but on the contrary was prob
ably as well built as public buildings
usually are. There was one glazing
defect, however, to be found in the or
iginal design, and the same may be
found in p large proportion of similar
structures. The stairways and passage
ways were very narrow and where only
one egress was used, as in the case of
Victoria Hall, it saved the labor of one
or two men who acted as ticket-takers
and watchers. This principal of econo-
my was carried out on the fatal night
when 200 young lives were sacrificed to
the greed for gain. Now it is plain that
this calamity is to be attributed mainly
to economy in management. If there
had been an adequate number of exits
properly manned with attendants, the
panic would probably never have oc-
CURED. If there had been q force of
attendants stationed in the Hobbies and
gallery, the loss of life would have been
materially reduced after the panic had
once set in, for at least hundred of
the children, the dispatches state, per.
ished simply because aid was not rem
dered during the first five minutes.
One mans wages for single afternoon
were saved, but two hundred lives were
flung away. The attempt was made to
reduce the running expenses of the
hall to the lowest point, whereas in
view of the narrowness of the stairways
and passageways the number of attend
ants should have been largely increased,
especially on an occasion when several
thousand eager and excited children
were gathered together. The services
OF few men were dispensed with and
the expense account was cheapened q
few shillings. The result is frightful
sacrifice of precious human lives, and
hundreds of darkened homes, and sor-
rowing hearts, whose sun of hope has
set in impenetrable gloom.

An editorial in the July Century says;
at would seem that the working class
es, in their endeavor to improve their
lot in life, have largely misdirected their
efforts, by seeking too exclusively to in-
crease their income instead of trying to
get more happiness out of the income
they now receive. For "a generation
past, the workingmen of all the civilized
countries have striven by every means
they could devise to raise their wages,
in the evident belief that wages could
be raised even in opposition to economic
forces and natural laws, and in the fur
Their belief that sufficient increase in
their income was the one thing needful
to make them happy. In these endeav-
ors, too, they have had the sympathy,
and, so far as possible, the assistance OF
their friends in the higher ranks of So
ciety; and so exclusively have the efforts
of both been turned in this direction that
the labor question has come to be al
most synonymous with the question OF
raising wages. Now it is certainly de.
sirable that the incomes of the mass Of
men should be increased wherever M
increase is possible, and it is specially
desirable in the case of manual laborers
whose present incomes are so small
g. \
that the machinery of trades unions ant
strikes, and schemes for state aid to in
dustry, and all the other devices thai
have been proposed to increase the la
borer's earnings can do comparatively
little toward accomplishing their pur
pose, and the history of the past thirty
years shows very clearly that they have
done but little"
