ALARGE LOCKOUT.
Eight Thousand People i'm New
York Idle.

NEW YORK, May 25.-The general lock-
out threatened by the Contractor Tailor's as
socation, unless about 800 io ourneymen who
have struck in twenty-five shops against the
task system should return to work by Sun
day, was carried into effect yesterday, and
in consequence about 5000 men and wo-
men are now idle. AS soon as the work
men learned of the lockout they focked to
the headquarters of their executive commit
tee. They were sent to Turner hall, in East
Tbirty-fourth street, where mass meet
ing was held. The workmen expressed
their determination not to abandon their de-
mand for the abolition of task work, and
the adoption in its place Of the weekly wage
system on the basis of ten hours work for
five days and nine hours work on the sixth.
The contractors thereupon held meeting
and declared that they would keep their
shops closed for whole year, if necessary,
to compel the men to come to terms. A
number of the contractors, however, in con-
versation said they would like to see the
trouble ended, as this is one of the busiest
seasons.

Discoveries of Grave Diggers.
oil kr,A nlnr

WELLsvILLE, o., May 25.-Workmen
engaged in removing bodies from the old
graveyard in the west end of the town,
made some ghastly discoveries this morn
ing. Both were unknown dead. and had
been buried thirty-fiye or forty years. One
coffin was noticed to be very heavy, and
when opened contained nothing but large
stones. The body had undoubtedly been
stolen by ghouls years ago. When another
coffin was opened, CHASTITY sight met the
gaze of the party. The head of the skele-
ton was turned face downward almost
under the shoulder, while the position of
the hands and knees were such that little
doubt exists that the unfortunate had been
buried alive, and his struggles must have
been frightful when he realized his awful
situation.

ALBUQUERQUE, May 25.-A special received
from Winslow, small town on the Atlantic
s. Pacific railroad, states that some of the
Aztec Cattle company's men, who have a
camp on the north line Of the Apache reser-
walton, about forty-1ive miles southwest Of
HOlbrook, report that the Indians are getting
reckless, and band have left their reserva-
ton, coming north. These Indians entered
the Aztec camp and stole some provisions and
ammunition. They were seen by the cow
boys, who followed them some distance and
had scrimmage with them and recovered
the property. 1t is feared by the people of
Apache county that if these Indians ceme
north they may incite the Navaj6es to join
them in campaign of rapine and murder.

company, is very uneasy, and left for the
scene of the trouble.

corder, of East st. Louis. are now on trial
at Belleville, ILL.,, charged with misappro-
priation of the city's funds and the robbery
of the safe in the treasurer'S Office. The
crimes are supposed to have been commit
ted about two years ago, and in the mean
time Thomas Duffy, a lieutenant of police
has been tried and convicted of the latter
offense, and is now serving sentence of
five years in the penitentiary. During the
proceedings in the court yesterday Duffy
was placed on the stand. and made a con-
fession, which, if it shall remain unshaken
by subsequent testimony, will undoubtedly
convict the Canty brothers. Duffy testified
substantially as follows:
In March, 1884, Canty and witness were in
Sheas saloon in East St. Louis, when Canty
remarked that he had lost money at poker,
and he wished some one would blow the Mar
ket house to hi. The next day he said if

MAKE A GOOD HAUL.
Canty promised to have everything put in
readiness for working the job. Duffy then
got Clark and Egan, two Of his subordinates
and SO Informed Canty. He told witness
when things were ready to let his brother
Tim know. I first consulted Egan. and he
got man. At our last meeting Canty told
me to get in the vault and we could find the
safe door unlocked. The first time I saw
Canty after the robbery he told me to keep
from getting drunk and talking, and if I got
in any trouble he would back me up.
When witness was arrested. he said Hal
loran and Mayor Bowman had offered $500
to him if he would implicate the Cantys,
but he did not take the contract. No one
offered to secure his release or decrease his
term of Imprisonment in the penitentiary
for testifying against any one. Witness
told Clark and Egan that Canty had said
there was no danger to be apprehended
When arrested Canty told him not to suueal
and he would come out all right. d. j.
Canty was put on the stand and denied each
detail of the above confession, after which
the court adjourned until to-day.

BLAZING WELLS,
Natural Gas Reservoirs on Fire
From Lightning.

PITTsBURG, Pa, May s5.-The new
Edgar natural gas well, which the Manu-
facturers' company brought in last Satur-
day at o'clock. and which was set on fire
by lightning about three hours later, is
still burning, the flames reaching into the
air nearly 200 feet No attempt has as yet
been made to eXtinguish the burning gas,
and it is probable that it will be left to blow
and burn for several days. The Duff well
in Murraysville, which was also struck by
lightning on Saturday, is still burning, and
do attempt has been made to put out the
flames. Considerable fear is expressed in
Murravsville, since the Duff and the two
Philadelphia companies wells were set on
fire by lightning, over the McWiliams well
of the Hartier company. This is the well
that caused the terrible disaster at that
pace some weeks ago. 1t has never been
Ca sed off, and the gas escapes from the
hole in close proximity to a number of
buildings. The majority of the other wells
in the town not turned into the pipe lines
has been shut in completely, SO that no gas
escapes.
