TRAFFIC IN HUMAN FLESH.
Italian Consuls Engaged In Bringing
 Italian Slaves To America.


 Italian Slaves To America.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The Committee on Labor heard a statement to-day from Col lio Cesar Morin of this city regarding Italian slavery. He asked the committee to pass bill ''to prohibit the sale. of Italian flesh in the United States,'' as he claimed was being done at this time. He said there were eigh- ty thousand Italian slaves in this country and that the Italian consuls at Philadelphia. Baltimore, Chicago, Denver and San Fran cisco were agents for the slave traMckers and the State department should demand of the Italian go vernment that these consuls be recalled. He named other localities which he said contained slave dealers, among them 35 Broadway, 15 Center street, house in Mulberry street and the office of the Eco dItalia, the newspaper organ of the traffick- CTS, in New York. He also stated that at the National Museum of Art in Central Park was night workman who was prin- cipal agent. He said he had been imploring the Knights of Labor and the American people generally since 1871 to stop this ter rible and nefarious traffic and thought Con- gress should now act. He paid tribute to the soberness and worth of Italian laborers, but said that they would always be an ele- ment to make trouble until slavery was abolished.

STOLEN GOODS RECOVERED. A Good Piece of Work Ely The Police The Lehr's Store Burgiary-TheA Ar.

The Lehr's Store Rurgiary-The Arr
 rests.
 About half-past ten o'clock on Thursday night burglars entered G. Lehrs tailor shop in Atwater's block on Grand street, by fore ing open back window, and stole S20o worth of suitings. Mir. John Matthewman, of No. 179 St. John street, saw beach wag on containing two men drive up and stop in front of Atwater's block shortly after ten o'clock and two men, one of whom walked very lame, leave the wagon. He thought nothing more about it until about half an hour later when he saw the lame man, who stood on the corner of Olive street, evidently looking out for the police, make sign with his cane and call out "Hurry up, Jim" A moment later the other man came out of a hallway into St. John street with big bun d e under his arm, which he put in the wag on, and the two drove off.
 About six o'clock yesterday morning a horse with beach wagon were picked up on Congress avenue by Officer Wass, and brought to police headquarters. A few moments later boy who appeared to be drunk rushed into police headquarters aud told the officers in charge that the policeman took the wagon from him while he was in 8 saloon. The youth was locked up, but released an hour later and before the police had heard of the robbery. When they heard of it and learned MT. Matthewmans story Detective Reilly started out to look up the owner of the beach wagon and found it had been hired by James McKeever, of East street, and Alex ander Cummings, of East street, the lat ter member of the old East street gang, and who is very lame. E,o,1,y 1oo{ MaR .IxraS ap. rested by Detective Reilly and Officer P. Doherty and later Cummings was arrested by one of the precinct officers, and they were both charged with burglary, they being sus- pected of having taken the goods from Lehr's store.
 Officer McAvoy of the precinct, who has done several good pieces of detective work on duty about 7 o'clock in the even ing of the burglary and thought he would keep his eyes open, which he did with good success. About 10 o'clock he entered the precinct and told Lieutenant O'Keefe that he knew where the goods were and wanted permission to get them as they were on Officer Murphy's beat. Permission was given him and taking Officer Murphy with him he went to the saloon gently opened by William F. Donnelly, at the corner of Locust and East streets, and tried the outside cellar door, but it was securely fastened. Leaving Officer Murphy to guard the cellar door Officer McAvoy went into the saloon and asked Donnelly, who was be- hind the bar, for the key to the door, Don nelly told him that he did not have it, but man named Moore, who lived on Grand street, had the key. Officer McAvoy re- turned to the precinct and Officer Driscoll was sent as reinforcement and the stolen goods were found in the cellar. The goods were taken to the precinct.

Said to be Anxious to Resign. Hut He
 Will Not be Allowed.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 26-The Columbus cor respondent of the Evening Post telegraphs to-day: Captain Cowgirl, chairman of the Payne investigation committee said to-day: s'I do not think we will be able to make a report for some time yet. People say the committee has developed nothing. We are perfectly satisfied with what we have discovered. Something more striking than any previous testimony will come to light within the next fortnight in the case of Senator Caldwell. No money was traced to him, but payments were traced through bank checks to his agents. It is we'll known among the insiders that John Huntington has gone to Cuba to es- cape the investigation and the United States will make others whom we cannot reach. Payne is getting frightened and l have it from reliable auth ority that he is very desirous of resigning, but they will not let him do it"

No More Need of That.

A well known Rock Island gentleman
has been in the habit of coming over to
this city to purchase his family supply of
meat lately, and all on account of the
trouble between that city and its butch
ers at first, and afterwards because he
found he could do better on this side.
Rock Island caused an abattoir TO he
erected and passed an ordinance ordering
all butchers to do their slaughtering there
as sanitary measure. The butchers OBJ
lected and part OF them refused to obs
serve the ordinance. The city then re
voked their licenses and as they coniin-
uea to sell meat suits have been com
menced against three of the butchers,
Messrs Anthony Koch. David Adams
and Fred Schuette for selling without a
license. These suits wera instituted in
the county court, and il is thought thai
others will be begun in the near future
Davenport Gazette.
There will be no further need of thi,
well known gentleman going AWAY ovel
t. the Iowa town, two miles away, for Iii
meat after this week, when the new
butcher firm OF johnson, Quo & Co vii
have become established here, and gu
citizens will not have 10 90 abroad il
search of law abiding merchants. Tn
new firm proposes to abide 10y the cit,
ordinances and obey the laws of the city
as there are only two butcher firms VIII,
now do. We trust that the butchers VIII
conduct their business legitimately will b
supported

placed them all on successful basis. In
ISIS he received call from Butte City,
NJ. r., the most important parish in the
territory, with promise of bishopric
when a separate missionary jurisdiction
for that part OF the territory should be
established. He accepted. but on the
urgent solicitation Of his people reconsid-
cred and declined the offer. The follows
ing year flattering call from Trinity
church. Rock Island, H., was accepted,
and for three years, and until his health
began to fail, he acceptably filled that
rectorship. Then he retired to farm
which he had purchased in Rock Island
county. He lost his wife IN 1888. and in
the fall of that year he returned east and
was appointed diocesan missionary by
Bishop Huntington. He served one year
and in March, 1884, came to Detroit,
where brother had previously taken up
his residence. He at once took charge of
St. Thomas Mission, at the corner of
Shady Lane and Twenty-sixth street.
Under his management the mission -four
ished and there was every prospect that
it would soon develop into strong
parish. He was also chaplain of St.
Luke's Hospital and Church Home
During last summer his health again
began failing, but he nobly kept up his
work until December last, when he began
to cease labor He spent three weeks at
his old eastern parish, then returned here
and gradually sank until he died, Mr..

man resigns the position of justice of the
peace of that town As the usual town
election is near at hand, tie clerk will or
der Il new Justice elected to ill the
vacancy at that time. Mr. Grennell was
elected to the office last spring for term
of four years, but as Old age Is creeping

the remainder of his days in peace and
quiet. He has served his town in many
positions, and for two terms represented
this legislative district at Springfield
Among other good qualities. Mr.. Gren-
nell is sterling democrat.
