ST. PErERsBuao, May ls.-An officer Of
the Eriyan regiment, who was recently ar.
rested on suspicion Of being engaged in
revolutionary movement, was subjected to
severe examination, during which he
mentioned the names Of several officers Of
the guards who, he declared, belonged to
the Revolutionary Club. He stated, how
ever, that the club pursued special objects,
and had no connection with the terrorists.
The Gar, on learning OF this confession,
decided to postpone the date OF his coro.
nation, but was persuaded from SO doing.
A number Of officers OF the guards have
been arrested in consequence Of the pris.
oner's discloures. ...
I LONDON, MaytlS.-A dispatch TO the
Central Ne,ss from St. Petersburg says the
police Of that city have been informed Of
the existence OF a'plot to frighten the horse
OF the Gear at some favorable opportunity
during the procession ut Moscow on coro-
nation day, and in the confusion which
would no doubt follow to kill the Emperor.

husband claims that bis late wife wished
that his sisters should have her undercloth.

and took away her jewelry, clothing, &C.,
valued at nearly $500. Thesisters then had

A DESERTED TOWN.
Phil Thomps pson Going 10 Washington 10
fell His Daughterof the Tragedy.

HARRoDsBuRd, KY, May lS.-This Will.
ON animated town seems today to be alb.
solutely deserted. But three weeks have
passed since the Staying Of Water Davis by
Phil Thompson, Jr., and events have been
80 crowded into that short space Of time
that people have not yet had an opportu-
nifty 10 stop and think. Everything has
gone on with rush, and now the ineyita.
blereaction has come. On the Wednesday
following the Friday morning after the kill.
ing, the grand jury returned an indict-
ment against Thompson for murder. On
the next Wednesday the jury who were
to determine as to his guilt or innocence,
was after a'great deal OF labor had been
expended and. time consumed, finally com.
pleted, and on last Wednesday the long
trial came to an end with the acQuittal Of
the prisoner. During all that time the ex.
citement concerning the case has been at
fever heat. Even when quarter OF the
town burned down it produced only mo.
mentary interest-it was fairly overwhelm.
ed by the event OF greater importance.
The town has also been full OF strangers,
and all store.keepers have done roaring
trade. Country people for miles around
have focked to Hsrrodsburg, and the
streets OF the place have resembled the
crowded thoroughfares OF great city. Now
all is changed. The trial Is over, and the
visitors have departed. No longer do the
throngs come from the surrounding coun-
try. All the trains to day were crowded
with persons returning to their homes, and
the various hotel keepers in the town won.
der II another sensation will again bring as
much money to their Golfers. All the dis.
tinguished lawyers have taken their de-
parture; OF all the Thompson family John
b. is the only one who remains, the crowd
Of newspaper men have gone, and now the
citizens have time TO realize what calam-
ity the.conflagration was TO the town. For
tunately, the greater mber OF those who
were burned out were we'll insured.
7 On reaching Washington Phil Thompson
has sad and difficult duty to perform.
Never yet has his little daughter Matte,
who Is at a convent school there, heard 8
breath OF fscandal concerning her mother,
or. OF the, awful vengeance Of her father.
Now that'all Is over, his honor vindicated
and the stain OF crime taken from his name
by ajury Of his countrymen, he considers
It his duty to tell her the terrible story.
Until this is done he will not rest His
son Ia staying with his grandfather in Hsr-
rodsburg, and Mrs. Thompson is at her
mothers. What the disrupted family will
finally do is,not known. E.pF

AN INSANE MOTHER.
She stabs Her Iufnnt-sbe Declares HeE
Time Has Come 10 Die.

New York. May 1s-A domestic
tragedy, not unlike the recent unhappy
|seguin affair, although not SO dreadful in
It's results, took place at S2S East Fifty
seventh street, this afternoon. An insane
mother murdered her twelve.days.old
infant, and but for the interference Of her
friends would have killed herself.
A little more than year ago Francis
Zimmerman, an artist, whose studio is at
8 East Nineteenth street, was married to a
Young lady Of Morrisiana. She was spoken
Of by friends as being Of kind, gentle and
inofiensiye temperament. The couple
came down town to live, aud their married
lie was happy, until few weeks ago,
when Mr.. Zimmerman noticed that his
young wife had suddenly become despond.
ent and melancholy. On May she be.
came the mother OF little girl. From It's
birth she.has evinced an unnatural hatred
for the child, and 1t was removed from her
presence for fear that she would do it
harm. A few dayssgo the mother took a
heavy dose OF carbolic acid, but
restoratives were applied, and her
life was saved. Since then, not
withstanding the close watch kept
upon her, she has nearly succeeded in
killing herself by swallowing quinine.
Her physician decided that she was suffer.
ing from puerperal fever, and suicidal
mania. Her baby. was placed in charge OF
nurse, and It was decided TO send her to
asylum to-day. This afternoon while the
mother, children and nurse were all in one

and Operators Trades Tribunal met and
organized to-day by electing August stin.
ner President, and W. A. Mcintosh secre-

to prepare a joint petition asking the court

belief that an amicable settlement will be

ruE Iron AaE's VIEW.

The Iron Age Of this week says: There
has been but very little change in the labor

meeting in Pittsburgh, at which the action
OF their Conference Committee In their de-
mand for a reduction and their refusal to
accede to the proposition Of the Amalaga-
mated Association for the present scale,
was unanimously indorsed. Nosteps have
been taken on either side. so far has been

woRKMEN's VIEWS.

It will appear from the foregoing that
unlessa change comes over the spirit Of the
dreamsIof the high disagreeing parties a
shut down during the summeris is foregone
conclusion. II Is binted that this courseis
popular with the workmen as short cut
to attaining their wish for relief from work
in the hot months, under the impression
also that the restriction Of production will
stiffen the market and enable them to gain
the old scale by September. There is some.
thing very plausible in this suggestion. II
this is the case, and the device bids fair to
become custom, it Is probable that con.
sumers Of specialties in iron and steel will
hereafter trim their patterns accordingly.
The shut down Of the mills will, Of
course, have simil,r effect on many de-
pendent industries. The chief trade effect.
ed will be coal mining! The: withdrawal
OF the immense mill demand will very
materially change the present intricate
mining situation and most probably settle
the discussion anent the three cent rate.
The question will be whether even the re-
duction to that figure will be consented to
by the operators. II Is very unfortunate
that trade islramifed, but such is the fact
and no important industry can be closed
without dragging with 1t to more or less
extent otker business. s-t

PRESIDENT JARRErr's VIEWS.

President Jarrett declined to say whether
he thought the demand for an unaltered
scale was reasonable. He said: '"I may
not consider 1t inst the thing, yet it is Of no
moment to the issue involved what my be.
lief is or whether l express that belief.
The prominent fact Is that the Association
demands the old scale, and am here simp.
ly to represent the views Of the Associa.
tion." mg iz tssr i.r .li.
as there any other difference, to be
"ameliorated' than the scale; the two
months shut down, July and August, for
instance?" =. -,
"No; we made that proposition knowing
It would not be.agreed. 70, andI am OF
the opinion that, though 1t ia desirable,
1t is not feasible. Iron Is different
from glass. The sizes Of siron are chang.
ing continually and therefore can:
not be stocked up except as the common
bars. The cuatomer makes these changes.
In glass the tame old patterns prevail un-
til the manufacturers suggest changes,
hence stocks anticipatory Of the summer
shut down may be provided. Besides
there are climatic obstacles. We had rs
hot weather in Pittsburgh in September
last year az we had any time in July; August
nights ara cool and suitable for work. The
country too is 90 wide that July in one
place may be hot and in another location
epioyably cool"

PITTSBURGH, May 1s.-The probability
Of a strike has been sufficient to disturb
local business to no small degree during
the spring, but fortunately dealers have
learned from experience not to begin build
ing hopes Of trade until after the middle
Of May shall tell what the first Of June will
bring firth. II Is not unreasonable .that
the, population no. engaged inmill and
mine pursuits should regard The loose
screw which shows up with regular annual
recurrence as one that Is inexcusably loose,
and to tighten which there has been lack
ing very ordinary quality Of gumption
somewhere. That there Is TO be another
strike or lockout appears inevitable. This
is deplorable and should be remedied by
the parties in direct interest while there Is
yet time. ..sbG..-s
