The Labor enquirer., 1886-10-09

James MCGufon, a clerk, aged hftY,
an intelligent looking man, was charged
at Marylebon police court last week with
throwing stones, to the common danger.
The prisoner, 1t appears, had thrown
stones at the police station window, and
on being arrested had stated that he
wished to be locked UP. He told the
magistrate that he was destitute. he
had lust come out of prison, after serving
three months. When he first went into
prison, he found it made his soft hands
very sore to perform the hard work al
lotted to him; but he had became In
ured to it, and the best thing the mgls-
trste could do for hun would be to give
him six months. Mr.. De Rutzen asked
the prisoner why under these untortu-
nate circumstances he did not get WORK
house relief, to which McGutton replied
that he would rather suffer anything
than do that; things would be better
in a mouth or two" Unfortunately he
had partially lost his hearing, his mem
ory was failing him and he suffered from
writer's cramp in the hand. The hu'
mane magistrate discharged him on his
own recognizance IN slO to be of good
behavior for six months, and recon-
u,,daJ him to % to the Prisoners Aid
Society. What will become of this poor
old victim of the capitalist, worn out IN
his masters service aud then cast ASIDE
to shift as best he can? This is not the
only case; it happens to every man
whose labor is no longer prohtaole 10

Olaremont stock yards, and all
cattle from Chicago will be
quarantined and inspected before
they can be offered for sale. The pen
alties for disobeying the order of the
state veterinarian are severe, and
will be fully enforced. To bring dis

only the loss of the animal, but fine
of from $50 to 800 for each animal
offered. DR.. Ward says he shall insist
on visiting the full penalty of law
against all offenders. The keepers of

notified that no cattle from Chicago
shall be unloaded from the cars until
the required inspection shall have
been ACCOMPLISHED.

THE LEAGUES MONEY.
Treasurer O'Rei1Iy Tells Where it Wa
Spent and Gives Results.


DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 6.-The Rev.
DR.. Charles O'Reilly, treasurer of the
Irish National League of America, was
asked, yesterday afternoon, what he
had to say about the charges con-
tanned in New York press dispatch
of yesterday describing what was char
acterized as g. revolt against the finan-
cial management of the parliamentary
fund contributed by the Irish Nation
al league of America.
Suppose" he said, eve have col
lected 81, 100000, how long will that
keep single regiment in the field !?
That Is what / ask them. AS far as
an accounting is concerned, we are
ready and willing to account for every
cent we have received by showing that
it has been paid to the duly accredited
and responsible agents of the National
League in Ireland. The particulars of
it's use by them they have never given
us, and we have never demanded
them. We are content to know
that the money is well used. How
do we know this? By results.
When the Irish League was formed
Ireland had but three real representa-
tives of her cause in Parliament
When the National League of America
was formed she had but eleven. Now
she has one more member than one of
the old parties. At the last election,
Scotland voted 81 to 1; Ireland AZ to

Rule. That is where the money has

The Mississippi Steamer La Mascotte
Burned and Sunk-Msny of the Passen-
gers and Grew Lost.
Shortly after noon on the 5th the
steamer La Mascotte, bound from
Grand Tower, H., to Cape Girardeau,
Mo-, exploded her boilers opposite
Neeley's landing, burned to the waters
edge and hoated nearly mile below
Wizards landing, where she lodged on
the shore. The reports ofthe accident
are very meager and full list Of the
killed and wounded cannot be obtain
ed. The tow boat Eagle was within
sight of La Mascotte when the ex-
plosion took place, and rendered
valuable assistance, rescuing all who
were left alive. The Eagle took thirty
five persons to Cape Girardeau. No
list of passengers could be obtained,
as the register is lost, and the excite
ment was SO intense among the sur
vivors of the officers that no one could
tell who was on board.
Among the lost are known to be
Judge Hager and wife, Miss Kneigher,
daughter of Christ. Kneigher, William
Ell. Wheeler and two children and Fritz
Lard, all of Cape Girardeau; Charles
Ansel, coiored, two chambermaids
and an unknown lady with two chill
dren. The bodies Of the last three and
one of the chambermaids were recov-
cred and taken to Cape Girardeau on
the Eagle. J. r. Perkins, first clerk,
Miss Julia Rabich, OF Cape Girardeau,
and the first engineer, Porter, are sup
posed to be lost.
Out of the crew OF twenty four, four
teen are saved, and the total loss of
life is placed at between eighteen and
twenty 1.-TWO. Those known to be bad
ly injured are Lena Buchanan, daugh-
ter of George Buchanan, of Cape
Giradeau; Lon Adams, the first mate.
Among the saved are Capt. J. B.
Thompson, Henry Leonery, steward.
James V. Donohoe, pilot; J. J. Har.
Ian, second clerk. and D. G. Mantz Sec
ond engineer.
The La Mascotte was g. new boat,
having been built by Evansville lind
parties during the past summer at q
cost OF about $33, 600, and especially
designed for the packet trade between
st. Louis and Cape Girardeau. The
steamer made two weekly trips, with
heavy loads OF passengers and freight.
Capt. Thompson considered her re-
markably fast.

WARSAW, N. Y, Oct. THE town
of CASTLE, Wyoming County, is greatly
excited over a murder committed
there, last night, by Robert Van Brunt,
an Englishman, and member of the
Salvation Army. Van Brunt boarded
with the family of Simon Roy, and
last night found Simon's son Will Roy
sitting up late with his half-sister,
Eva. Van Brunt told Eva to go TO
bed, and she refused. He then drew q
revolver and fired at young Roy, caus-
ing a fatal wound in the head. The
murderer was overpowered by a
brother OF Roy, and handed over to
the town constable. Van Brunt is
very excitable and very quick-tem-
pered. At the Salvation Army meet
ings he attracted considerable atten-
ton by his excitable ways. He was
subject to epileptic fits, and produced
some sensation at the meetings by
getting considerably wrought np and
then falling insensible. He always
carried q revolver.
