THE EIGHT.HOUR STRUGGLE.
The StOnecutters' Union Withdrav
from the AmalgamatiOn.

The StOnecutters' Union has Withdrawn from
the amalgamation of trades and will treat di.
rectly with the boss stonecutters as to terms OF
settlement Of their differences with their en-
ployers. 1t Is thought probable that the stone
rubbers, who are closely associated with stone
cutters, will be compelled by circumstances to
gamation remaining in claim that the brick
layers and stonecutters will: suffer more
from their withdrawal than the other trades,
trades and are at the mercy OF the bosses. The
bricklayers, it is stated, had to withdraw nom
the amalgamation or lose all the fruits of their
organization for many years, as numbers O
their members were beginning to show weak
ness and might, it was feared, "bolt." At the
meeting OF the bricklayers' union last night it
was resolved to continue the effort for eight
hours. The organized carpenters and joiners
formed cooperative firm to do all kinds Of
carpenters work, with their headquarters at
corner OF 7th and l. streetS

PHASES OF THE CASES

CHICAGO, May Colt is learned that Spies,

dicted under six charges. The first two are
contained In two vouminOus indictments, in
which the defendants are named collectively.
charged them with willtul murder in igniting
the fuse and casting the bomb into the ranks Of
the police. The other is the same except that
revolver and bullets is used in place OF bomb.
Besides these there Is an indictment against
each OF the ten men named, charging them, as
individuals, with the crime of murder by bomb
throwing, as also another set of indictments
In addition to the two series Of indictments
charging the defendants with murder there is
also series charging the ten persons named
with conspiracy to murder" the words
conspiracy to murder taking the place in
this series of the words "kill" and "kill and
murder" which are mentioned in the first two
series. The six conspiracy indictments each in
the six officers who have SO far died from the
effects of wounds received during the riot of
May 4, first, the name Of the deceased officers
and then the name of another being given in
each Indictment, one name only being given in
one Indictment.
BUTLER MAY ASSIST THE DEFENSE.
The friends of the anarchists say that letter
was received yesterday from Gen. Benjamin
Butler, who said that at present bis time was
fully occupied, but later on he might be able
to take up the defense of those indicted. MIR.
ZetieS seemed to be very hopeful OF the assist
ance of Gen. Butler and declared that the cases,
II ever they were brought to trial, would be
tried In Chicago, as the country juries Were too
conservative. The great thing tor the defend
ants be thought, was time In which the excite
ment in the public mind would cool down.

Fatal CareIessnesS.

1t would seem that some way
might be devised to prevent the
numerous accidents occurring from
carelessness in the use of firearms.
Martins Ferry, Ohio, has Just
been shocked by fatal accident of
this kind. A boy picked up re-
volver which he supposed to be
empty and began swapping it in
the facet of a playmate. AS so fire.
quently happens, one chamber
was loaded, and the natural result
followed; one boy killed and an
other doomed to go through the
world with the knowledge that his
carelessnes has cost a human life.
If we are not mistaken, a law
was enacted by the Ohio legis-
lature, a few years since, making
it Enable offense for anyone to
point a frearm, loaded or unloaded,
at another. The rigid enforce
ment of this law in all possible
cases would be an act of justice
and humanity.
The carelessness which would
place another life in jeopardy, even
though no harm is intended, is cri-
minal in itself, and the combined
power of law, public opinion and
parental authority should be ex-
erted to break it up.

The Dew Liquor Law.

The local option in the Dow
Liquor Law does not apply to coun-
ties or townships, but only to mu-
nicipal corporations, and these
have no power except to regulate
or prohibit tipping houses within
their corporate limits. If they ex-
ercise this power the saloonists can
retreat in safety just beyond the
corporation lines and build up
grog shops by the side OF every
road. There they cannot be dis
lodged, but can remain in defiance
of all municipal authority. In
most of the municipalities of Ohio
the corporation line is less than a
mile from the center of the town or
village. Such local option as this
is delusion and an insult to peo-
pie Of all the smaller municipal
ties OF the State. The large towns
and cities are in the hands of the
rum power. Western Christian Ad-

crowd ahead of him, sat down to

had come to learn their names,
fled in dismay. Then the good
man discovered his error and
quickly left,--Boston Record.
Three years ago Rem Folsom was
a reporter on the World, Dan La

The Whipping Post as a Cure fol
Wife Beating.

A bill was introduced in the
Pennsylvania Legislature, last
winter, providing that wife beaters
should be punished at the whip
ping post. We are sorry to say
the bill did not pass. The legis-
lator who introduced the measure
has not ceased to agitate the sub.
ject, and has recently submitted to
the public some facts and figures
to show the necessity of such law
as that proposed. 1t appears that
in the year 1884 there were laid
before grand juries in Pennsylva-
mia SGT complaints against wife
heaters; that 2S7 true bills were
found, and that oil men were con-
victed. But the ordinary penalties
for this offence are found to be in
adequate, in no way tending to les
sen the number of these brutal as
saults. Three months was the av-
erage term of Imprisonment in the
two hundred and eleven cases
noted, penalty which in many
instances fell more heavily on the
families of the convicted men, who
were left without support, than on
the men themselves. AS to the
practical results of whipping
post, it is shown that in other
States where such an institution
has been maintained for the bene-
fit of wife heaters, this species Of
crime has become almost unknown.
In reference to the operation of the
law in Maryland, the District At.
torney of Baltimore says: "Aftei
the first conviction, the crime
ceased as by magic throughout the
State" Many of the eminent Grim
inal judges and lawyers in Penn
sylvania have expressed them
. selves in favor of the lash for bru
tai husbands.-Nea0 York Observer
