lINIoNIABOR CONVENTION.

CINCINNATI, May 15-The Union Labor
convention was very late in coming to
order in the afternoon. The first business
offered was motion to expel reporter of
an evening paper who had giving offense
by a too graphic account of the excitement
attending the attempt of Harry billiard
to induce the convention to invite Dr. Nc
Glynn to address it. The cairman of the
convention ruled the motion out of order,
saying it would not do to begin their work
by interfering with the freedom of the
press.
The committee on credentials not being
ready to report, the time until o'clock
was spent in listening to speeches.
Venerable jesse Harper, the former
leading Greenbacker in Illinois, and the
man who, 1850, named Abraham Lincoln
for president in the Republican national
convention, was first called upon. Though
showing the effects of advancing years,
Mr. Harper, when stimulated by the at
tention and applause of his hearers, was
not lacking in warmth. His chief point
was the danger impending from the mon
opolies in this country.
Mrs. Marion Todd, of Michigan, made
| an extended address, full of sarcasm. She
was severe upon Cleveland for his
statement in his thanksgiving proclama-
tion that we ought to give thanks for
the prosperous condition of the country.
She denied the fact and asserted that it
was play upon words to say the country
was prosperous, Nor was she less severe
| upon John Sherman, whom she denounced
as a traitor for his ruinous financial policy
to which she attributed much of the evils
now cursing the country. BY contrast she
declared that the James Boys were praise
worthy in comparison with the statesmen
who have been depressing and robbing the
people; for the Missouri outlaws were
never known to rob the poor.
Mr. L. NJ, Fogg, of Michigan, was solicit
tous that the government should take i'm
, mediate control of the railroads and the
! telegraph lines of the country. saying it
was quite as proper, and many times as
! essential to take charge of the postal ser
: vice of the people. He was in favor of the
| land tax idea of Henry George. This dec
! laration drew applause from the galleries
| where the delegates 10 the Union Labor
| convention were sitting
! Mr.. Emery, of Michigan, was called up
on, but excused himself saying that Mich
| gan had been monopoliZing the platform
/ The committee on credentials then
made its report which was adopted. 1t
showed that PAP delegates were present.

MODEL COFFEE HOUSES.
SUPPLYING CLEAN FOOD At THE
LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICE.

a Question Which Thoughtful and PHI
lanthropic Persons Have studied-A
Field for Practical Benevolence-Phil-
adeIphia's Model Coffee House.
Thousands of brain and hand toilers take
their midday meal in down town restaurants.
1t is within the memory OF most people when
this was practically unknown here. The
growth of the city and the extension OF the
limits of residence districts have served to
bring this about In this respect Chicago Is
merely having the same experience as Paris,
London, New York, Boston, Philadelphia
and the other large cities of the world.
The great metropolitan centers have also
long had to do with the matter OF supplying
to the people the cleanest and most nutri-
tious food at the lowest price possible.
Thoughtful and philanthropic persons have
studied the question in its economic and
moral bearings, and the experiments made
in other cities have generally been very sat
isfactory and successful. The coffee house
of Great Britain is known the world over.
The British workman is as familiar with it
as with the church or chapel he attends, the
vocation he follows or the vernacular he
speaks. 1t is a place where he can get for
from three to five pence from six to ten
cents a substantial repast of good food and
coffee, tea or milk, served in a clearly man
ner, in respectable place, to which he could
take his wife or daughter, or some ones else
daughter. The same conditions and classes
are to be found in America as in London or
Liverpool, Glasgow or Manchester, Birming7
ham or Bristol The cities of the United
States like New York and Philadelphia, Bos-
ton and Chicago, have had growing up the
past twenty-five years the same lunch or res
taurant system which has long obtained in
the cities beyond the sea.

EXPLOSION AND TEN MEN
KILLED.

HELENA, Mont, Sept. 1.-THE most
fearful fatality ever recorded in Montana
took place this morning at the Wickea
tunnel, on the Montana Central railroad,
about twenty miles from Helena. A
premature explosion caused the death Of
ten men and the wounding of six or
more. 1t produced fearful shock,
overwhelming the workmen, blowing
some of them to atoms, and burying
others under a mass OF rocks and earth.
The news spread like wildire 10
Helena. At $50 o'clock the Montana
Central sent out a special train bearing
the compauy's surgeon, DR.. Cole, to
assist in caring for the wounded and to
bring in the dead.
The tunnel upon which work has been
going on for two years, is nearly COM
pleted, and this morning the north and
south headings were only about twenty
feet apart, the contractors expecting to
make connection in day or two. Al
about 6 o'clock this morning the night
shift were engaged in putting in theil
last charges. There were about thirty
or forty men at the south heading, and
twenty-five in the north. The men in
the south end were just leaving the
heading, having finished tampiug th'
charges, and had begun to move out ant
get in a safe place when the explosion
occurred. Those who were in the lea'
on the way ont were blown forward b
the conclusion but escaped seriou
injury, but the rear Of the crowd caush
the full force Of the explosion an

Mr. William 7. Stoll, attorney at law,

the sentiment Of the people Of Shoshone
county was on the question of annexa-
ton. That gentleman replied: $50
far in the campaign aothing has been
done to make it an issue. favor an.
nexation, and l believe every honest
thinking man in the county favors it.
The real sentiment Of the matter is
unknown, except so far as we may guess
it. They are, of course, led, and will be
led, by the politicioos aud prominent
men, many Of whom, think, are acting
from personal motives in opposing annex
alton. The question is of such vital
Importance to our peoplo that some
decisive action should be immediately
taken, but how to get at it We are unable
to determine"
The reporter here asked "why it
would not be a good thing to call
meeting aud endorse the Stewart bill,
now pcuding in the Senate, which pro-.
viles for leaving the question Of annes-
ton to the voters OF North Idaho"
That" said Mr.. Stoll, "misht be
very good idea, but the politicians would
swamp such movement. fear annex
alton is dead for the present, but how an
intelligent people can be so blind to their
own interest as to sssiss in building up

with which ,h,y have no poiical connec-
ton and which will never benefit them

tragedy in Missouri county has JUS. been
received. An atrocious murder was
committed by Ncz Perce Indians, ,n

About August 30, two miners, Frank b.
Jacquet,e and John Rombough, left
Corvallis with pack animals to carry
supplies to the Iron Clad mine, located
at Mineral Point, Montana. They ,'ro-
cecded on their journey without nolesta-
ton until they arrived at point on the
trail which leads oii to Elk City, Idaho,
an old deserted mining camp. Here
shey were over,aken by two Indians aud
a squaw. The party rode along toScth
er, the miners having no suspicion of
trouble, as the bucks said they were
going across the south fork to kill deer.
Al night, when stop was made, the
lpdlans requested the privilege of camp
Ing with the white men, which was
granted. The parry sat around the
camp iiro until about 10 O'Clock, before

yards he heard another shot and groans
Jacquette saw the Indians coming in thu

in the brush, and he made break f.l

SPOKANE FALLS, Sept. 1.-THE
question Of right of way through the

answer has been received from the

this will take several months to arrange,
bringing the work 90 the railroad until
the middle Of winter. In view Of thii
fact, one Of the contractors, whose work
has to be done along the river, ha.
thrown up the job. He says with the
snow and difficulty of obtaining provis-
ions, ETC., it would be useless to wurl
during the cold months. The road il

lady living at Della. On that night she
was at dance aud was in the midst of .
quadrille, when she suddenly cried out
and was about falling, when she was
caught BY her partner, who carried her
to lounge where she died. Examina-
ton revealed the fact that she had died
from tight laciug, the strings in her
corset having been drawn 20 tight that
her flesh lay 10 folds beneath, 90 that
the exertion Of dancing caused the burst
ing Of blood vessel. Miss Crawford
was to have beeen married yesterday,
and her betrothed is completely pros
[trated.
