The Rev Arthur Gray Hone, of Tan keston Towers Kent, who recently died, has left his two sons the comfortable sum of four million pounds sterling. This is 8 good deal of wealth for a clergyman to possess, and some of the brethren on this side of the water would doubtless like to know how he saved it out of his salary. The cable does not say any thing about it, but it is pretty certain that he never allowed his parishioners to aivs him donation party. Exchange.

What the Papers Say.

CHICAGO, April 3O.-The Times to-
morrow, summarizing the labor situation,
will say; Twenty five thousand is a fair
estimate OF the number OF men who quit
work yesterday friday and walked out
of the various shops and factories in Chi
cago because the employers would nor
consent to an eight hour working day
with ten hours pay. How many will do
the same Saturday is predetermined, but
the prospects for a repetition of yester-
days performances is exceedingly bril-
liant.
New YORK, May l. The Tribune
this morning, says 1T is hardly expcc-
ted that the eight hour movement will
cause many strikes or lockouts Just at
present. The general feeling among
leading members of the various o~rganiza-
tions is that in the present state of public
opinion in regard to strikers. it would be
folly to try to accomplish anything
through their medium, and in most cases
when an amicable arrangement annot be
made between the employers and men
the matter will be held in allegiance.

CLEVELAND, o., April 80, A special
from Youngstown, o relates a remarka-
bic story. Twenly-tLree years ago A.
Lobscheid, a German physician, who had

Austrian government, was married to
Bertha Won Bieberstein, whose family
had for 300 years been in possession OF the

lady had previously been an inmate Of an
insane asylum, the doctor says, was con-
cealed from him, but after six years of
married life she once more Lecame insane
and wasplaced in a retreat in Silesia. Dr.
Lobscheid left Germany, aud after travel
ing in various countries came to America
and settled at Youngstown. He had con
tributed constantly for the support OF bis
wife. and until to day supposed she was
in the asylum This morning, therefore,
he was greatly surprised at receiving a call
from the lady at his office, she having ar
rived at Youngstown early in the morn
ing. DIR. Lobscheil says that she is still
insane and he will take steps to have her
returned to Germany. Mrs. Lobscheid,
however, denies her husband statements.
She admits that she was insane a short
time after the birth of her child, but says
she is mentally sound now. She says she
came here after her son, II years of age,
whom her husband kidnapped and sent tc
California, She expresses her determine.

Shellenberger, a substantial farmer. and
his wife. were arrested this evening for
she murder Of the formers child and the
step-child OF the woman. The child was
found in a cellar under their house with
its throat cut from ear to ear, a bright
golden haired girl of II years. The evil
dence shows previous brutality and gem
eral hatred, especially on the part of the
woman. They claim she killed herself,
which is pronounced impossible by ply
sicians. The parties are in jail. There
are strong threats of lynching and great
excitement prevails in the city. All the
circumstantial evidence points to the guilt
of the accused. The child is heir to valu-
able property. which reverts to the father,
which is given as the direct motive for
the deed

The Depression in Business Circles

The Depression in Business Circles
New YORK, April 30.-Special tele.
grams to Bradstreet's do not report as en-
couraging a view of general trade as in the
proceeding week. At Chicago and Kansas
City there is relatively the most active de-
mand, but at a number of other cities at
which an improvement in the movement
of general merchandise was noted a week
ago, there is none now. Purchases at
Chicago are still characterized as for i'm
mediate wants only. There are at least
$4,000 employees on a strike against 43,-
600 last week, in addition to those seeking
to enforce the adoption Of the eight hour
rule. Bradstreet's finds that at least
225, 900 men at industrial centres are
actively moving to secure fewer hours of
labor daily. OF this number 5000 are on
a strike. $1,000 have had their demands
granted, n lO5, 900 threaten to strike.
There are 8 1000 who have not yet accom-
panied their requests with threats of
strikes. The more aggravated condition
of the labor situation is primarily respon-
sible for the noticeable depression in gen
eral trade and the industrial circles
throughout the country this week. Int
rior merchants are buying restricted lines
and manufacturers are basing contracts on
the non-interference of employees.

CARLISLE and RandalI Teat,fv.

WASHINGTON, April 30 Speaker Car
Isle was before the telephone committee
TO-DAY. He testified that about the first
of May, 1884, he had received, while in
Philadelphia, a letter from j. Harris
Rogers, dated April %, in which he wrote
(reading the letter. II am instructed by
the Rogers Telephone and Telegraph
company incorporators to advise you that
you have been elected a director IN the
company, aud that slOO, 600 in stock will
be put to your credit for such occasional
services as YOU may find it convenient to
render. You will doubtless remember
the cordial introduction given me by Gen.
Johnston when | applied for the position
Of electrician Of the house, and how you
were anxious hat | should obtain it from
the architect. The new company will
start under favorable auspices, with
splendid instruments, and the stock will
appreciate in value as we build up. Re
questing a prompt reply and your accept
ance, | have the honor to be your obedi-
ent servant,
(Signedl, j. HARRIS ROGERS.
Secretary Of the Board.
To that letter he had replied Before
accepting possession of the stock it would
be necessary for me to be advised on two
points. First-I desire to see the charter
or prospectus Of the company; aud second,
whether it will under any circumstances
be dependent upon congressional action.
So long as | remain a member Of congress
| will not be interested in any
company or enterprise concerning
which congressional action may be
asked. That SAID the speaker.
was the last he had ever heard of the
matter. While he had no distinct idea
that the letter was written with the view
to influencing a public officer. yet he had
a little shadow of suspicion that something
of that sort might come before congress,
because he was aware of the fact that
attempts were being made to get the gov
ernmen to purchase telephone and tele-
graph companies, and this seemed to be a
telephone company.
Representative Samuel j. Randall test
fled that he had no distinct recollection of
having received either letter or stock from
DIR. Rogers. 1t was possible that he had
received such a letter, and answered it as
was his rule, with a courteous and re-
spectful declination to embark in such an
enterprise as was proposed.
Representative Abraham S. Hewitt
then took the stand and said that he had
been solicited to embark in the Pan Flee
trio and had been offered a tenth interest,
but had declined.

MILWAUKEE,, May AT a meeting
lasting until early this morning the 5000
employees of the large Milwaukee brew
cries decided to strike to-day unless their
wage were advanced $40 per month. The
companies nave already made large con-
c~essions in the way OF fewer hours and in
creased pay, and have said they will not
accept the terms proposed. so a great
strike seems inevitable.
