Destructive Fire at Jersey city. N. J.

NEW YORK, May 27.-An explosion fol-
lowed by flame and smoke occurred on the
lighter Origin, of the Jarvis Lighterage
Company yesterday. The lighter was
loaded with ~saltpetre. which was being
transferred to the steamer City of Berlin.
The lighter was lying alongside the Inman
line pier i'm Jersey City and for a few min
utes it seemed as if the pier would be con-
sumed. The steamer Strauss, loaded with
sugar, was badly damaged. The fire de-
partment saved the steamer and pier from
total destruction. The lighter was scuttled
by the Pennsylvania fire tugs and she a
directly. Twenty-Five thousand bags of

thousand dollars.

And fashioned with such dainty care
And skill. the baby's coming brought.

affairs of the convention should be acted
upon with consideration and dispatch. The
best part of the address treating of matters
entirely within the province OF the order
cannot be- made public.
Mr.. Powderly resumed his seat amid pro-
longed applause, and upon motion appointed
standing committees of five upon each Of
the following subjects: Laws, strikes, boy
colts, relation Of Knights of Labor to other
organizations. A special committee of five
was appointed to whom was referred the
addresses Of the President and Secretary of
the National Womans' Christian Temper
ance Union.
A committee Of five was also selected to
take action upon the matter of the organi-
cation of the American Manufacturer
Union, as proposed by Edwin Norton in his
address on Tuesday. At one o'clock the
convention took a recess until eight o'clock
this morning SO as to give ample Time to the
committee to do the work laid before them.
The Grievance Committee was employed
all the afternoon in hearing complaints from
the Pittsburgh cigarmakers' union. Efforts
have been made to have this union merged
into the Knights Of Labor, but strenuous
objection is being made by the Pittsburgh
delegates. No decision was reached. A
scheme is also on foot to take the Typo
graphical Unions into the fold of the Knights
as a District assembly. This movement is
meeting with the enthusiastic approval Of
the local union and their delegate has been
instructed to vote in favor of it
The Committee on Credentials is having
quite a controversy over the admission OF
the delegate from the new 126th District
Assembly of carpet weavers, New York.
The delegate says he has business Of vital
importance to be passed upon. His case
has not yet been decided.

the convention. Messrs. Jarrett and George
delivered addresses on the labor question

Arrested for Numbering Their Father.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, May 27.-Late Tues
day night Sheriff Newton and Deputy
Hensley brought in the two Anderson BROTH
ers and Ewing Sanders, charged with the
murder of old man Anderson. and lodged
them in Jail for safe keeping. The Ander-
son boys are aged respectively nineteen and
twenty years and Sanders is only seventeen.
The United Press reporter interviewed the
officer. He said the boys were first arrested
on account of suspicion growing out of
family troubles that had been known to
exist for a long time previous to the murder
of their father. Their mother is also under
suspicion, as there had been quarrels be-
tween her and her husband in which the
boys took part. The three prisoners have
confessed separately. duplicating each other
in the murder, but the two Andersons both
swore that Sanders did the shooting.

Miners CONVICTED of Conspiracy.

WASHINGTON, Pa. May 27.-The trial Of
the Monongahela river miners charged with
riot and conspiracy, which has been in pro-
gress for a week, ended yesterday, the jury
returning a verdict of guilty of conspiracy
against twenty-four of the miners. The
verdict causes great surprise and indigna-
ton. Judge Hart, on a previous occasion,
warned the miners that if they were ever
convicted of unlawful acts in connection
with strikes their sentence would be severe,
and it is therefore expected that the con-
victed men will be sentenced to the full OK.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 26.-Monday after
noon Governor Gray sent a pardon to Abner
Horton, who was sentenced to Michigan
City, from Clay County, in 1857, to life i'm
prisonment for killing his father. His

home. He returned two years later with his
wife and child, but they were driven away
by the old man, who threatened him with q
hatchet. Afterwards, while Oh a visit to
his father endeavoring to arrange matters,
he was again attacked, and in self-defense
picked up a pistol and shot the father.

Truly benevolent men must often
incur the charge of close-fistedness in
order that they may have the means to
relieve the wants of really worthy peo-
pic. Old Ben Franklin, who was the
very soul of generosity, is to this day
very often called close-fisted because he
exercised a wise discrimination in aiding
others. Any man in a conspicuous po-
sition who does not say No a hundred
times a month will be unable to say Yes
when the'really destitute apply for help.

The M~arriageable Chinese Emperor to In
spect the Daughters of His MOBILES.
Much interest is awakened in the CON-
ing events in the Imperial family. The
Emperor is approaching maturity, being
now sixteen. His guardians have been
letting him out gradually, and during
the present winter he has enjoyed much
recreation on the ice on the lakes which
form the most beautiful features of the
palace grounds. Her Imperial Majesty,
the Empress Regent, has also spent
much of her time out of doors. But
the time has now arrived to prepare for
the marriage of the young Emperor,
and all Manchu families above a certain
rank having daughters between the ages
of twelve and eighteen must bringthem
to the palace for inspection by the Of
ficials charged with the duty of choos-
ing a consort for the sovereign. These
pilgrims in love have in many cases to
perform long and arduous journeys
from their homes, and it would not be
difficult to construct a romance out of
the incidents of such pilgrimages, the
hope which sings in the maiden's bo-
som each fresh morning when she re-
lime her journey, the disgust and de-
spair which serve her for a pillow each
night as she bemoans her aching limbs
in a dismal, dust-begrimed roadside inn,
with not even a Turkish bath on the
premises. The girls are said not to be
detained long in suspense-the worst
part of hanging, according to the Hiber-
MAN saying-but the rejected ones are
promptly restored to their parents and
guardians, and return to their homes
perhaps sadder, if wiser, but probably
In most cases thanking their divinities
that the ordeal is over and that the in
terdict against their marriage is at
length removed. For a year at least
before the Empress is chosen no Manchu
girl within the prescribed limits of age
and of eligible rank is allowed to
marry.-Cor. London Times.

Riotous Strikers at Toronto.

TORONTO, Ont, May 27.-There was a
riotous time in the streets Tuesday night
over the arrival from Kingston of omnibuses
for the use of the street railway strikers.
The vehicles were conveyed through the
streets by a crowd of strikers and their
sympathizers, which finally reached alarm
ing proportions. Finally the crowd began
to throw stones at street cars, and every
window in the cars was broken. There was
much alarm among passengers, but fortu-
nately no one was injured. The Knights of
Labor finally interfered and induced the
strikers and their adherents to disperse.
