Catholic Cathedral On Fire.

PrrTsBURG, Pa, Dec. 5.-A dense, heavy smoke was seen rolling from the roof of St. Pauls Roman Catholic cathedral on Fifth avenue about 4 o'clock this afternoon. It was soon discovered that the fire originated in the fue of the natural gas furnace. which gave too heavy a draught for the intense heat. A joist entering the iue took fire and communicated to the woodwork, which be- ing buried in plaster was at such a height as to be almost inaccessible. Before the fire was extinguished the building had been damaged about $6,0OO. The fire, coming so soon after the burning of the Alleghany procathedral and originating from the same cause, is believed by many to point to incen- diarism

Herzog's Opera House Burned And
 Only The Four Walls Left Standing - WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Herzog's Opera House, better. known as Line oln Hall, on the corner of Ninth and D streets, was en- tirely destroyed by fire at an early hour this morning. An alarm of fire was sent in by occupants of the building at haIf-pa two. Several engines responded promptly and a general alarm, which soon brought the en- tire force to the spot, was sounded. The fire, however, with the light and infamma- ble part of the stage for food and a high wind to fan the flames soon burned up every thing but the four walls of the building. The loss on building and property is esti- mated at about $150,000 with insurance probably amounting to three quarters of that sum. A watchman named Parker, who was dismissed by the opera house manager yes terday, is suspected of having set fire to the building

Entertainments.

Michael Strogof will be presented at the New Haven Opera House on Wednesday and Thursday evenings of this week. The play is of the heroic, intense order, richly mount ed, strongly cast and attractive appointments. It is one of the most romantic episodes in the recent history of the Czar. The play as presented by Charles Andrews Michael Strogof company discards to extent the imaginary illustration which involves null titudinous display of the terpsichorean art, and is more literal in it's treatment An drews has. a large and efficient dramatic company, and carries nearly two carloads of scenery, while many gorgeous and character istic costumes are worn by the artists en- gagged in this mammoth production.

 blowers convention was called to order in
 Odd Fellows hall at o'clock last evening.
 They held long secret session and at II
 o'clock a committee informed the reporters
 of the proceedings. Delegates were present
 from Brooklyn, Bridgeton, Clayton, Will liamstown, Winslow, Camden and Salem, in all about eighty, representing over five hun
 dred men or half of the green glass-blowers east of the Alleghanies. The convention was harmonious throughout. Resolutions were adopted that the green glass blowers withdraw from District Assembly No. 149, K. of L., thus effectively settling the ques- tion of obeying Grand Master Coffey's man. dates. It was resolved to form new pro tective association with the same constitution and bylaws as the old Glass Blowers League. G. M. Coffey was bitterly denounced for his violation of that part of the contract which specified that no strike should be declared without an unanimous vote. In declaring the strike at Atlantic City the convention sad he violated bylaws which say no strike shall be ordered except by unanimous con- sent. G. M. Coffey ordered the present strike at the Atlantic City convention, when the vote stood 27 to 20, and only partial representation present. A meeting to effect 8 permanent organization will be held in Camden in two weeks, which will be inde- pendent of the K of L.

An Exciting Scene at a Meeting.

CORK, Dec. 5.-Owing to the governments
 proclamation of the regularly called National
 league meetings here MT. Wm. O'Brien, M.
 P, addressed large crowd of persons in the
 open streets today. The crowd became e1-
 cited and stoned the police who were present
 in small force and the latter drew their
 swords and then ran back to their barracks
 for assistance. A strong force of police soon ar
 rived upon the scene and prepared to charge.
 TheMayor interposed and declared to the com
 mander of the police that he, being respon sible for the peace of the city, would not
 allow the police to charge upon the people.
 Inspector of Police Cotter placed his men in line, but did not order charge. The crowd,
 encouraged by the attitude of the Mayor, sent another volley of stones into the ranks of the police, the missiles striking several of them and badly injuring two. This happened in the Mayors presence, but he still refused to allow the police to charge.
 Police Inspector Shannon at this juncture arrived with an additional force of men upon learning how matters stood told the Mayor he would not stand by stone throwing mob. The Mayor persisted in his refusal to allow the police to charge, whereupen Inspector Shannon told the May or he would not obey his orders. The in- spector then ordered the police to charge and the crowd dispersed. Upon the refusal of Inspector Shannon to obey the Mayor the | latter retired from the scene and Captain | Plunkett, divisional magistrate, assumed command.
 The crowd after being dispersed by the DO | lice reassembled and made furious onslaught upon the police. The police, now heavily reinforced, charged again and again upon the | mob, which fell back, but rallied upon the police with showers of stones at each steI backward. Many of the police were severely 1 injured by stones and other missiles and the ' number of civilians wounded by bayonet l thrusts and in other ways was very large | Many of the wounded on both sides were l able to walk to their homes or were taker l there by friends, but twenty three of the in | jured. were conveyed to -zthe hospitals.

Passing by an Empty Coffin.

A conversation has just been made
public between q newspaper man and q
professional embalmer at Cleveland, in
connection with the death of President
Garfield. The embalmer said that the
person who treated Garfeld's remains
made mistake. and used the wrong
fluid, which turned the flesh black
color. He said the mistake was not
discovered until the body arrived at
Cleveland. The undertakers then
spent all night trying to bleach the
face so that it would be recognizable
by those who viewed it the next day.
But the color could not be eradicated.
Sunday morning." he said, Sound us
still at work" 1t also found thousands
OF people in line ready to pass through
the pavilion and past the catafalque.
It was too late to get the remains back
into the casket. All that day and far
into the night the crowds passed by
that empty casket. The remains were
placed back on Sunday night and duly
taken to the cemetery on Monday.

THE INDUSTRIAL OUTLOOK.

An exciting episode in the Lake
Shore Railway switchmen's strike occurred at
Chicago 1t was wild chase of Nickel-Plate
engine, literally black with Infatuated strikers,
and a Milwaukee and st Paul engine draw
ing q box-car filed with men down the
Lake Shore. tracks after two engines
drawing two cabooses filed with rail-
road officials, imported switchmen, po-
licemen, and reporters; and the exchange of
pistol-shots for heavy iron coupling-pins
bricks, and Jumps Of coal The pistol-shots
were fred by Matt Pinkerton and four officers
on the platform of the rear caboose, and the
iron missiles and coal were hurled from the
sloping tender Of the Nickel-Plate engine
which was slightly in advance of the Mil
waukee one, and running tender first At
Grand Crossing the Lake Shore engines were
obliged to come to a standstill. The pur-
suing engine was reversed, but not one
second too soon, and as ii was, it went crash
ing into the caboose with sufficient force to
throw q number of men from the tender and
drive the train forty or fifty feet forward The
instant the collision took place the strikers
swarmed out upon the tracks and took posses
sion of the Lake Shore engines and cabooses,
and they were then drawn back to Chicago.
Four men on the pursuing engine were shot,
but none dangerously. A large number of
strikers were arrested
Chicago telegram: "The officials of
the Lake Shore Road, being determined to re-
sumo business at their freight yards in and
about Chicago, terrified the strikers by placing
along the track one hundred and twenty eight
special policemen, armed with clubs, revol-
vers, or Winchester rifles The crowds we're
driven from the crossings the new switchmen
were protected in discharging their duties, and
the yards were cleared Of cars soon after mid
day, without shot having been fired"
