METAL MANUFACTURERS,

but the experience is general that, with very
few exceptions, they are Improbable, even
more so than double overtime.
The address argues that prices for goods
cannot be advanced at one single jump,
such as the men propose to the manu-
facturers of the city, and in regard to
wages, says that if prices were advanced,
the cost of living would then also advance.
Employees working less hours would be
compelled to deny their families their
small wants, because they had been cut
down 40 or so cents day, and for what
reason? To make room for very large
thrush of European labor. In conclusion,
the members of the association think that
the movement can have but one ending
from the unfortunate way it has been
thrust before those who could have done
so much good had their cooperation been
secured

A MYSTERIOUS MURDER.

A short distance from the city

the roadside close to the beaten carriage
way. There was large bullet wound in
the right temple. The victim was young
man fairly well dressed. The first impress
sion was that it was case of suicide, but
closer inspection showed that the face bore
no powder Marks which it would have done
if the man had shot himself. A crowd soon
gathered, and Justice Catfrey of Webster
Grove organized jury, and with the assist
ance Of DR.. Brown of Fairview
INSPECTED THE REMAINS.
Investigation of the pockets revealed one

RAILROADS ALL RIGHT.
The Various Chicago Zines Receiv.
ing Freight as Usual.

Il He various Chicago Zines kecelV-
ing Freight as Usual.
CHICAGO, May S.-A visit to the various
freight offices to-day found most of them
receiving all freight offered. though at
some of them not much is offered. The
striking worknen with the exception Of
two yards, the Wabash and the Grand
Trunk, no longer hang around the yards
in squads, and indeed there is nothing
in the freight department to indicate that
strike had ever occurred. Everything
was quiet this morning at the FOrty-tirst
street crossing of the Western Indiana
tracks, and though the striking switch
tenders congregated there in numbers, they
did not attempt to interfere with new
hands, who. under protection of a squad of
special deputy sheriffs, threw the switches
for both freight and passenger trains, and
the business of the road proceeded without
delay. The Northwestern is handling all
the freight offered. All the striking en-
ployes, except the freight handlers, re-
turned to work this morning. The Baltimore
IL Ohio is handling freight slowly, but by
Monday Manager Abbott expects to be pre-
pared to receive pershable and all other
freights offered. A few of the striking
freight handlers of the Michigan Central,
eight or ten in number, returned to work
this morning and all freight offered is
promptly handled. From what could be
learned by visit to number of freight
houses and yards, there seems to be a general
idea that the backbone of the strike of the
freight handlers is broken. No change was
noticeable at the freight houses of the
Chicago 81 Atlantic road to-day. A few
loads of freight were offered and delivered,
but the force Of men was very small and
did not appear to have increased any since
yesterday. The force of men in the out
freight-house of the Grand Trunk was not
any stronger to-day than yesterday, and
cars were considerably delayed in being
unloaded. Considerable freight was Of
fered, and it was being received with as
much dispatch as the circumstances will
allow.

RICHMOND, Ind, May s.-The trial of
Nathaniel S. Bates, for the murder of his
wife Kittie, at Hagerstown, on the End of
March, ended this evening, when the jury
went out. AT half-past eight the jury came
in with a verdict of murder in the first de-

Bates was slightly pale, but showed
no emotion save the gritting of his
teeth, and settling down in his chair.
Sheriff German and Deputies Dormer and
Murray surrounded the prisoner, and after
the verdict was read to him, ironed his
wrist and led him back to Jail. He said
before the verdict was read that he would
thank the jury if they hung him. One Of
the jurymen said they had arrived at YER
dict three minutes after reaching the room,
but did not want to show too much haste.

situation. The city employees have been
voted ten hours pay for eight hours work,
and number of individual manufactori es
have made settlement with the men, but
the great mass of strikers remain idle.
There is but little indication of strike on
the streets. There are no crowds. and bust
ness seems to be progressing as usual. Or
derby professions of strikers have passed
through the streets every day, and the
pronounced denunciation of vo-
lence, and particularly of socialistic meth
DDS, has given to the public a sense of free
dom from danger of riot. This feeling has
not been shared by the authorities. For
several days the First regiment of Ohio
National guards has been on duty night and
day at its armOry near the court house, sew
eral hundred special police have been ap-
pointed. safety organizations have been
made all over the city at the mayors re-
quest and four regiments of militia have
been ordered here by the governor. The
explanation for all this preparation is
made to-day for the first time. 1t is that
the police commissioners have discovered
that socialists to the number of 600 are
organized and
ARMED WITH EFFECTIVE RIFLES
that they control here the manufacture of
dynamite bombs; that the one used in Chi
cago was made here. and they have now on
hand for use supply of the Internal ma
chimes. The commissioners claim that they
have found the name of the manufacturer
William Haines of Covington, KY. This,
in connection with the rumor that Herr
Most was in Covington last night, gives
some FEASIBILITY to the fears of the authori-
ties, and accounts for the apparently I'M
usual precautions taken.
The Seventh regiment, Ohio National
Guards, has arrived at the Hamilton county
fair grounds, and gone into camp. The
other regiments are expected before night.
They will all be CHARTERED at the fair
grounds or in that vicinity. 1t is distant
but about six miles from the city. The
force will have two field pieces and nine

lively refuses to tell anybody anything

day:

Pension Rills Vetoed.

WASHINGTON, May s.-The president
has vetoed the private pension bills. One,
which is for the increase of Widows pen
sion, is vetoed ON the ground that the gen.
eral law would give the increase from the
date of its passage, while the special act
gives it only from date about two months
later. The immediate reason for the
other veto is mistake in the name of the
beneficiary. In it the president takes occa-
sion to state his views with regard to the
subject of special legislation by congress.
He cannot see that congressional commit
tee has better facilities for examining pen
sion claims than the bureau created for that
purpose, and suggests that if it has better
facilities the law should be changed: or, if
it is found that the bureau is unjust in its
action the organization should be changed.

raided by the mob of anarchists Wednes-
day, and the rabble seized upon every bot
tie that had the appearance of being the
receptacle of spirits, large bottle of car
bolic acid was among the others carried
away, and owing to its color and general
resemblance to whisky it was passed from
hand to hand after the raid and drank by
half dozen or more of the mob. The acid
began to take effect as soon as it entered
the stomachs of the rioters, and in spite of
the best efforts of the doctors and emetics.
two of the drinkers are dead and three
more are at deaths door. The residences
of three of the victims are located on West
Seventeenth street, near the scene of the
fray, and others are on Twenty-first street.
