me emancipation Proclamation.



On the evening of the day on which
President Lincoln's emancipation procla-
nation was issued at Washington a copy
thereof came by telegraph to the Boston
Journal office, and on the same evening a
meeting of free-soilers had assembled in
fremont Temple. While the night editor
of the Journal was engaged in preparing
the dispatch for transmission to the COM
position room, Judge Thomas Russell en-
tered the editorial sanctum, all out Of
breath, and inquired as to the truth Of
such a proclamation having been promul-
gated by the President, and was shown tn
dispatch sheets on which it was written.
He begged the loan of them for a quarter
Of an hour, but this was refused as being
against all rule. The Judge then seized
them and ran with all speed from the edi-
torial room followed by the night editor in
pursuit, but was not caught. He reached
the platform of the fremont Temple, in
terrupted the speaking, and read the
proclamation, when a scene of excitement
followed which baffied description Some
talk was had about the proprietor of the
journal Colonel Charles o. Rogers) .hav-
ing Judge Russell arrested for theft, but
this did not take place. This was the first
time that the proclamation was publicly
raad in BOSTON.

THE DEMOCRATIC VIC TORY.

The success of the Democrats In elect

gives them very little room for gratifca-

It Is conceded that without the aid Of the
Prohibitionists they could not have nc

IN T. Herald.l
The SHOWS of last winter had not vet
melted upon the plains of Poland and
everybody In Warsaw was still wearing
rubber boots and watching the thermome-
ter, when Antoni Won Ziolkowski and Cath
crime Dali met. He was blithe opponent
of the Russian Gar, and she was blue
eyed maiden with the usual assortment Of
patriotic sentiments, which, according to
Miss Porter, the novelist, all Polish ladies
possess.
For the pair not to have fallen in love
under these circumstance would have been
contrary to all the precedents of modern
light literature and accordingly they soon
progressed so far that the size of the we'd
ding ring was discussed. The inevitable
obstacle arose in the shape of an aunt with
whom Catherine lived. This lady had an
unreasonable objection to son-in law who
was constantly followed by detectives, and
who might at any time take a trip TO ST.
IBERIA without waiting to buy a return tick
ct, and she therefore sternly opposed the
match. Catherine wept and Ziolkowshi
was very near kicking one of the detectives,
which presumably would have sent him up
the Vistula for ten days. This impulse
was however soon conquered, aud an elab-
crate scheme of elopement was prepared.
The aunt, however, baffied IL by selling her
property and starting with the fearful
Catherine for America. Ziolkowsk at once
ceased TO conspire against the Czar and
started for America.
SO did detectives, who wanted TO bring
him back. as they preferred to have him
stay a. home. where they knew just what
be was doing. The procession glided
through Prussia In true opera bouffe style
--Ziolkowski always arriving at a town
just five minutes after the aunt and Cath
crime had departed, and the detectives al

find that ziOlkowsh had also gone on.
When he reached Bremen he saw the

THE shooting of Michael Fl. De Young,

planters and the Reciprocity treaty.

originally a number of small sharehold-

treaty the Spreckels gang have been en-
abled 10 cultivate and manufacture

duty while all sugar brought from other
sources pays a duty of 40 to 3 cents
per pound Through this means the

At the last revolt In Lorillard's tobacco
factory, the papers were full of shameful
tales about the way in which he pinched
and squeezed the starvation wages of the
hundreds of men, women and young
sters who enriched him by their drudg-
cry over his tobacco. Itseemed incred-
iDle that any employer should resort to
such practices as this man Lorillard did.
He is still the hardest and meanest of
task-masters in his barracoons. But, after
pinching and squeezing all hands for 1854
days5in the year, 30 as to get the very
last cent out of their daily drudgerY, he
gave each of them small Christmas
present. and thereupon the papers make
haste to sing his praises. Out with such
CANNON! If Lorillard had treated his
hands with fairness during the year, or

he has pocketed out of their labor, it

BY Associated Press. sE
VIENNA, Jan. 6.-Last night in the
Johsuniskirche in4the Fayoriten Schau-
platz, the workingmen's quarter of the
city, a scene of terrible panic and con-
fusion occurred. Such scandal had
not been witnessed in Vienna since the
burning of the Ring theatre. A Jesuit
priest named Hamerle was preaching a
mission sermon to an enormous audience,
the majority of whom were women and
children. Suddenly crowds of excited
workingmen broke into, the church,
shouting, "Down with the Jesuits,"
smashing doors, windows and chairs,
tearing the robes off a Jesuit priest
named Coon. throwing paving stones at
Father Hamerle and damaging the altar
and images. ~. F.. .'' ID I
After a severe handling the priests
managed to escape and concealed them
selves in the sacristy. Meanwhile the
wax tapers on the altar falling about
caused blaze. This was soon extin-
guished, but a most fearful panic ensued.
Women and children were squeezed,
crushed and trampled upon. Three dead
bodies have been identified. Seven
persons we're severely and probably fa-
tally injured. . i, / T..
For some time past great ill feeling
has existed between the workingmen and
Jesuits. The workingmen COMPLAIN tina i
Father Hamerle, who is very eloquent,
breaches betYeeni7 and 10 o'clock in the
evenings, and that all the women and
children of The tneighborhood flock to
hear him instead of staying at home
cooking their suppers This was the inn
mediate cause of the scandal Father
Hamerle's theme last night was the
"Glory of poor Christians in the midst of
the wilderness of Socialism" ...-
4 simultaneously with the attack of the
mob upon the church thousands of So
cialist proclamations were distributed
throughout the city. The chancel was
literally torn in pieces and everything
in the interior was destroyed. The floor
was here and there marked with blood
stains and is still covered with Socialist
proclamations, torn prayer books, hats,
bonnets, shoes and clothing. During the
havoc two women gave birth to children.
Archbishop Ganglhaur ordered the pro-
famed church to be again consecrated.

great excitement prevails
