THE UNION PICNIC.
Celebration of Labors Holiday in New
Iayen-Paradr in the Morning,

In the State Of New York the 9th
Of Scptcmbm is Labor's holiday,
and right royalty do the workingmen
Of that State celebrate it. No one
identified with Organized Labor, or
those in sympathy with it, who has
heard of the great labor domonstra-
tIons held by the Central Labor In
ION of New York, but wishes the
same to be initiated here in New
Haven. Heretofore nothing has
been done to make it q holiday in
New Haven, but this year the Cigar
makers international Union and
the Typographical Union have taken
the initiative step, and they propose
to hold great picnic ut Sayin Rock.
Both Unions have invited their
brethren Of Hartford to join them.
and in the morning the Unions will
parade through the principal streets
Of the city headed by the Second
Regiment band, The Hartford I'm
ionists are endcayoring to secure
Colts band, and no doubt that fam
ous band will be on hand to furnish
music in conjunction with the Am
crican band. No lover Of good
music and Il jolly time should miss
this picnic. Turn out, all friends
of I4abor's holiday, and make the
first one a grand success. Remem-
bcr the day, next Monday, the 9th.
The line of March will be through
the following streets: From Arion
Hall to Chapel, to Franklin, to
Water, to Wallace, to st. John, to
Olive, to Court, to State, to Chapel,
to the Green.

llNCOLN'S S WARNING.

The immortal Lincoln uttered these
words of deep significance and solemn
warning in his message to congress in
ls6l: There is one point Ia which | ask
attention, it is the effort tn place capital
ON an equal footing with, if not above,
labor in the structure of the government.
! bid the laboring people beware surren-
dcring a power which they already pos
,ess. and which. when surrendered, will
surely be used to close advancement to
such rs they, and fix new disabilities and
burdens upon them till all of liberty shall
be lost

Chnrch Krecsel hr nrnnmIte.

For two years past the town Of st. Clair, Pa,
has been turned upside down by the doings of
the Law aud Order Society, which by having
had number of liquor licenses revoked by the
court has broken up lifelong friendships brought
about boycOtting of merchants, sent Daniel
Walker, an old rich man to Jail, which caused
the fastening of his death, and bringing about
revenge in the way OF two dynamite explosions.
The first eight months ago, destroyed the
front of the store and residence Of L. w. Lewis,
an active member of the Law and Order
Society. The second, at o'clock on Sunday
morning last, partially wrecked the English
Baptist Church, which was attended by all the
leading members of the society and which until
two weeks ago had for its pastor Rev. William
Owens, who was charged with being the chief
instigator of all the society's work. The dyna-
mite was placed on the upper one of the three
steps leading 10 the vestibue. IL was exploded
by fuse. The greatest force went into the
cellar. The vestibule was wrecked. The win
dows were shattered, particularly on the south
side The front doors were splintered and the
frames shattered. Repairs were at once set on
foot The shock was felt all over the town. and
the report Weakened most Of the people. Few
houses in the neighborhood escaped damage
The Methodist church, in the same square with
the Baptist Church. was not damaged. The town
is thoroughly aroused. There is, however, no
clue 10 the villains who peIpetrated the out
rage. A man was seen lettering about the
neighborhood some time before the explosion,
but no one could recognize him. It is the gen.
eral opinion that the act was done against the
Law and Order Society, as many Of the mem
befs are regular attendants Of the church.

Remarkable Case Of Mistaken Identity.

On the 2ith of December last 13 persons were
killed in an accident on the Georgia Pacific
Railroad, II miles from Atlanta. Among those
killed was j. Wood Pierce, q wealthy Texas
stockman. Soon after the accident Mrs. J. P.
Weaver, who lives in indianapolis, appeared in
Atlanta and claimed the dead man as her hus-
band. Mrs. Weaver asserted that her husband
had deserted her and gone to Texas, where he
changed his name to ]. w. Pierce. She fol-
lowed him to Texas and caused his arrest. He
was fined 81 900 and left Texas. Mrs. Weaver
caused the grave to be opened, and recognized
the dead man as her husband. Some of the
most trustworthy people of Atlanta, who knew
Weaver when he was sailing under the name
Of Pierce in Texas and were near him when
his wife caused his arrest, substantiated Mrs.
Viewers claim, and the body was about to be
shipped to indianapolis when a Texas lady
turned up and claimed the dead man as J..
Woods Pierce, her husband. She was backed
by an abundance of testimony. Witnesses
swore they had known the dead man all his
life, and that his name had never been any
thing but Pierce. The indianapolis lady de-
scribed marks on her husband, and these marks
were on the dead man. The court granted the
Texas lady an injunction, and the body was re-
buried in Atlanta. Both ladies sued the rail-
road, and just as Mrs. Weaver was getting
ready for her case a new link in the mystery
arose. 1t was the arrest of man who admits
that he is j. +. Weaver. He has the same
marks as the dead man and has been reeog-
nized as the Indianapolis man.

A Dynamito-ExplodIug excursion.

On the 3Oth ult., Chief of Detectives Shea
and a party Of police officers started out in a
tugboat at Chicago to test anarchists bombs
which had been found in various parts of the
city. Five bombs were On board. Three of
these were discovered in different business
houses in the city, the last being found few
days ago in Wilbur & Aliens crockery store on
East Washington street. The party proceeded
about two miles east Of the Crib. A gas pipe
80 feet long, with heavy rubber bag filled
with the bombs attached TO the lower end, was
sunk in the water. At the upper end of the
pipe foater or wooden box was attached TO
keep it from touching the water Into the
end five-foot fuse was inserted and touched
of. A sputter and sizzle warned the officers to
be of, aud the tug steamed of about 300 yards.
in 10 minutes the boat shook and the water
seemed disturbed. A second later a stream Of
water six feet in diameter shot 100 feet in the
air, and Tor 20 feet around the surface Of the
water was convulsed. notwithstanding the fact
that the dynamite had been lowered some %
feet in the water. Hundreds of fish were
thrown into the air with the column Of water,
and the surface was covered with dead ones.

An Archbishop Denounced.

!, The creditors of the estate Of the late Arch
bishop Purcell, of Cincinnati, are very much
exssperated in regard 10 the action OF Arch
bishop Elder, his successor. When the former
prelate was dying he said his debts should be
paid out of church funds, because his loans
having been expended il building new churches
and educating priests, i vas properly do
cesar debt This view has been vigorously
combatted by Archbishop Elder and sustained
in the suit brought to subject diocesan prop
erty TO the claims Of the creditors. On Sun
day last meeting Of the creditors was held,
at which a petition, addressed 10 the Pope,
was prepared, demanding the recall Of Arch
bishop Elder.
IL recites various instances which they claim
support their proposition, and say: The lying
holy tricks and open efforts at swindling of
your representative here have created very
bad impression among our citizens, and driven
thousands away from the church. People not
familiar with the easuistry Of moral theology
or cannon law and denied the gift of infallibil-
ity TO guide them, conclude that man who
steals another's purse or good name is not fit
10 administer the sacrament. We know moth
ing OF the ATchbishop's antecedents, but from
what we know Of his present actions we feel
sure that we are justified in demanding his
recall"

Attempted to Destroy His Family.

Jacob Knert a weIl-to-do farmer, of Fishing
Creek Valley, Pa, was on Saturday last COM
mitted TO the Perry County prison on the
charge of arson. BY reason of his alleged bru-
tai treatment. Mrs. Kinert was compelled to
leave her husband, and with her three little
children, resides in Naryvlle. Her application
for decree of divorce is now in the courts
and an order was recently made allowing her
SIS, with which 10 prosecute her suit. This
SUN her husband has frequently declared he
would never pay. On the night OF the at
tempted crime Mrs. Kinert was aroused from
sleep by dense smoke pouring into her room.
This came from square box in which lighted
candle had been placed with aquantity of wood
that strong evidence has been secured pointing
TO Kinert as the author Of the attempt to de-
stroy his family.

Natural Gas Snnnlants Coal.

In his testimony before United States Com
missioner McCandless in a suit for damages 81
Pittsburg, Pa, last week, General Superintend-
ent T. A. Gillespie. Of the Philadelphia Natural
Gas Company, said: "As near as we can ascer-
tain, there are displaced daily in the city OF
Pittsburg 100000 bushels Of coal by the use Of
natural gas. should think there were from
10000 10 10000 tons OF coal used daily in
Pittsburg, Allegany aud the surrounding towns
at the time Of the introduction of natural gas
In PittsbuFg. In 1883 one or two mills in this
city commenced using the new fuel, and since
then the consumption has gradually increased
in such degree that all the companies engaged
in the business have been kept busy laying
pipe TO supply the demand, and there are sew
eral thousand dwellings without this fuel. In
my judgment there will practically be no coal
used in this city within two years, for the rea-
son that gas is cheaper fuel, very much cleaner
aud more convenient IN every way"

SHOT TO DEATH.
An American Citizen Kidnapped and Executed By
Mexican Authorities.

On Monday of last week Senior Mondragoa,
the Chief Of Police Of Piedras Negras Mexico,
made demand upon the authorities at Eagle
Pass Tex, for the body Of Francisco Rasures,
whom he charged with being horse thief, and
Deputy Sheriff b. Diaz arrested Rasures and
took him before County Judge Hofsletter, who
signed extradition papers without giving the
accused hearing, and the Deputy Sheriff de-
livered him TO the Mexican authorities. The
unfortunate man was taken two miles below
Medras Negras the day afterwards and shot by
order Of the Mexican authorities.
Rasures is an American citizen, and at once
appealed TO q. s. Consul Lynn for protection.
The Consul at once demanded the release of
tho prisoner and his return TO Eagle Pass,
order was received.
1T is rumored that Mondragoa had n private
grudge against Rasures and trumpet up the
charge for revenge.
The utmost excitement exists in Texas over
this and the Cutting affair, and it is rumored
that the young men are secretly forming mill
tary organizations

ing applications for permission TO raise yolun-

The warlike feeling is intensified by the re-

feared the effect of exposure upon their bust

STARVING FISHERMEN.
CannibaIIsm Rssortsd to by Natives Driven Mad
by Hanger.


The suffering among the destitute fishermen
along the coast of Labrador is of the most
terrible description, and it Is supposed that not
less than $500 people have died from exposure
and starvation. All these casualties have oc-
Cured since June 1. The inhabitants Of many
of the settlements have been compelled to de-
YOUR their few ponies and dogs. while every piece
of leather or sealskin has been carefully utilized
TO deaden the pangs Of hunger. Wolves and
polar bears, driven to the coast in search Of food
and rendered desperate by starvation, fearlessly
attack any small village they come across. In
one settlement Of about % families, comprising
about 200 souls, the inhabitants had been rem
dered so weak by the forced short rations to
which they had been compelled to submit in
order TO exc out life that there was hardly a
man who was strong enough to raise spear in
self-defense against the brutes.
The result was that the bears, numbering
about 100, made clean sweep OF the place, de-
vouring every man. woman and child, except
ing four young men who succeeding in Chamber
ing to some neighboring rocks. Here they re-
manned ~ hours, watching the bears at their
horrible repast. After the latter had finished
and moved away pack of wolves, which had
been hanging around, came in and finished
what the larger animals had left. By the time
the 4S hours had elapsed two of the young men
had persisted from cold, while third died
shortly afterwards. The fourth, who was an
Esquimaux named Johann Andersen, being
little better clothed than his companions, sue
ceeded in reaching the deserted houses and ter
rible sepulchre which had once been his house.
He found some articles of clothing and few
scraps of food which had been stored away.
With these he started out for White Bear, the
neighbOring settlement, % OF 81 miles away,
and which, after incredibles ufferng, he reached.
An Exquimaux who recently arrived at st.
Johns, n. f., states that the population of the
village Of okkak in Labrador was about 100,
yet when he left on a vessel bound for st. Johns,
not a soul remained alive. On June nothing
had been eaten for six days, and, goaded by the
terrible hunger. the natives toasted upon the
coTpses OF several whites and Indians who had
been killed by the cold. After that as soon rs
person died the body was cut open, the entrails
taken out and the remainder frozen for future
use. This revolving food brought on dyseute terry,
and the defamation of the village went on with
terrible rapidity until none but this man and
his wife were left to tell the horrible tale.

An Imporiant Medlcal plsco,err.

series Of experiments were performed last
week at Milan, Mich, that arc thought 10 make
certain great advance in one branch Of medi-
cal treatment. Mr.. Eugene Allen has perfected
an instrument which he has been working at
for a number Of years, for the TRANSMISSION OF
blood directly from one animal or person into
another aud ii bids fair 10 overcome the only
heretofore existing obstacle 10 the success OF
this operation, the CLOTHING Of the blood and
dangers following from injection OF such clots.
In the experiments a sick sheep was placed at
one end Of the instrument and healthy Que
at the other, and very visible change for the
better was the result in the sick one. The
other was then allowed 10 bleed as long as blood
would now, and was resuscitated by blood taken
from calf There were present PrOls. Vaughn
aud Langley, Of the Medical Department Of the
State University, and four or five local physi-
clans. The inventor is q lawyer by profession
and enjoyed fair practice until III health
compelled him 10 partially give up work.

A Negro wom.n,s Horrible Crime.

One day last week a negro named Samuel
Frick, living in Tatnall County, Ga. left with
a negro woman named Mary Hollenbeck, who
was his neighbor, his little girl, as he had
some work to do at distance. The woman
promised 10 take care OF the child, and after
bidding the little one good-by the father de-
parted. This was the last he saw of his child.
A picnic was given in the vicinity day or two
after the child was placed in the custody of the
woman, and she was engaged TO prepare the
dinner. She deliberately murdered the child,
cooked one half Of it, and served il at the din
ner. The other haff Of the remains were sailed
and put in a barrel. The father, not finding
his child on his return, went TO the woman s
house and instituted thorough search, when he
found IN the barrel half Of human body. The
appalling discovery was at once made known,
and created great sensation throughout the
settlement. The woman was at once arrested,
and in her terror she confessed her fearful
crime. The indignant negroes seized and burnt
her at the stake.
