HERE'S AN ETHIOPIAN.
A Large Consignment of Contract
Labor Discovered.

New YORK, Jan. 20.-What appears
to be one of the biggest consignm antS of
contract labor ever landed here in one
ship was discovered by accident at the
landing of the passengers of the La
Champagne at Castle Garden to-day. 1t
was noticed that more than every other
one of the 213 steerage passengers were
bound for Florida. it was found that
all had come from Alsace, Germany,
and that their passagemoney had been
paid by man named George Strum, of
that province. Later in the day men,
ber of the firm Of Strait0n d Storm, of
this city, appeared at Castle Garden.
He said ne was an Alsatian and had
arranged to have his countrymen come
here, but denied having paid their fare.
He had large tract of land in Florida
and proposed to furnish each family
with 140 acres of land and start them at
raising Sumatra tobacco. He would
buy the product. The people to the
number of 130 were detained awaiting
the action of Collector Magone.

But the two servants slept the sleep of

club in the rear of the house with
which he smashed basement window.
He was in that frame of mind which did
not make him economical in the way of
noise. Climbing i'll, he found himself
baked again, the door to the upper part
OF the house being fastened on the
other side. He went at it, however, and
eventually the door gave way before his
vigorous and resOunding blows. Then.
admitting his wife through the front
door, he Immediately retired, being too
thoroughly provoked to stop to ''pick

knew a shrill cry pierced the air, and

legi Gus spectacle hugely. This speech
making on the scaffold appears to have
been relic of still remoter times, when
the practice of chanting last dying
speeches in the vicinity of the place OF
execution was common thing.
From the notes of fine solemn air of
the time of Elizabeth, called Fortune
My Foe," published in Chappell's
Popular Music of the Olden Time,' it
is learned that this tune, which is iTn-
mortalized by being mentioned by
Shakespeare and is alluded to by Ben
Johnson. Beaumont & Fletcher, Lilly,
Chettle and old Burton-was the one
to which 1.-The metrical lamenta-
tiOns of extraordinary criminals were
chanted in England centuries ago. In
proof of this a passage is cited from
ROwley's "Noble Soldier" 1884, in

have scurvy ballads made of me, sung
to the hanging tune" And another
from 'The Penitent Traytor. the
humble petition of Devonshire gentle
man who was condemned for treason
and executed for the same, ammo l64l,"
the last verses but two runs: ''HoW
could bless thee, cOuldst thou take
away my life and infamy both in one
day. But this in ballads will survive,

Truly desperate world was ours at
one time in the search for crueltieS to
be meted out to malefactorS. traitors
and sinners in general. Modern crimi-
mails may perhaps thank their stars that
they are spared unnecessary bodily tor
ture, and that the evident hope of JUS
tice to-day is to get them out of the
world with as little noise and prelimin-
ary suffering as possible.

"A FALL OF THE BEAUTIFUL.
The Blizzardy East Gets a Snow
Storm,

NEW YORK, Jan. 20. - Snow COM

soon after dark turned to rain and sleet,
with snow at intervals. AT this hour.
midnight, the storm has ceased, leaving
the streets in horrible condition OF
slush, and the thermometer several de-

Travel is much 0bstructed.
STAUNToN, Va, Jan. 20.-Snow fell

IRREGULAR AND ILLEGAL.
Endicott Preparing to Correct a
Great Evil.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. Jan. cot is reported
in army circles that Secretary Endicott
has in contemplation the issuing OF an
order which will do away with the Gus
tom of accumulation of leaves of alb
seneca practice almost as old as the
army itself. In most cases the time
proposed to be allowed, thirty days in
each year, would be consumed by Off
GERS on leave in going and returning
from their homes. For this and other
reasons the accumulation of leave has
always been allowed, and as high as
four months leave is usually granted.
1t is now held that the granting of this
accumulated leave is not only irregular
but illegal; irregular because the stlpu-
lations are that an officer is entitled to
but thirty days leave in each year with
full pay. The accounting officers of
the treasury claim that it is illegal. for
the reason that the law never contem-
plated the granting of any leave
amounting to four months. and carrying
with it all the benefits of the, pay and
the emoluments as if on continuous
duty. The point the war department is
understood to insist upon is that if all
officer does not take his leave during
the year he forfeits all claim to it.

A sTUPENDoUs SALT TRUST,
Which Will Take In All the Men,
hers of the World

MANIsTEE, Mich. Jan. 20.-The
meeting of the Michigan Salt ass0cia-
ton at East Saginaw has been conduct
ed behind closed doors and with great
secrecy. The fact is the salt men are
engaged in forming stupendous trust,
which is to include all the salt makers
of the world. They do not want, how
ever, to call it a trust. Trusts are get
ting odious in the sight Of the people of
this country. The international salt
trust will call itself stock company,
but the effect of its operations will be
the same as if it called itself trust
The object. of course. will be to hold
up the price of salt. and thus put
more money into the pock-
cts of the salt makers.
What progress the proposed organiZa-
ton has made is not known. 1t is said
that W. r. Burt, he president of the
Michigan Salt association, fayorS it, and
that many other Michigan salt men
think favorably of it. The arrangement
is to keep English salt off the American
market entirely, and the English salt
makers Will he compensated fOf ChlS oy
their dividends Oh their stock in the
general concern. The New York salt
men are anxious to combine" because
the cost of fuel has handicapped them
in their competition with the Michigan
saw mill salt works in the West. The
TACT that English salt is brought over
freight free as ballast has been an active
source of loss to them in the markets on
the SeabOard.

The Investigation Now the Thing
1.-The Law for Bribery.
While yesterday displayed the Gus
tomarY quiet as regards all matters per-
tanning to the legislature and to the SEN
atorial question, the interest in the
meeting of the Ward committee of bri-
berry investigation this morning was
unaoated though very apparently sup
pressed. Senators Ward and Edwards
remained in the city over Sunday. but
Senator Pope. the third member of the
committee, went home. He was notified
by telegraph of the meeting of the COM
mittee and is expected to be present to-
day.
There was some little discussion yes
terday of a point raised to the effect
that the paying of money for vote in
caucus was not bribery under the law.
The Whiteman law of 1887 leaves no
doubt of this point, as the following Sec
tions will show:
Section 102. If any person elected & dele
gate at any such primary or convention shall
accept or receive any money or valuable thing
as n consideration for his vote such dele
gate, he shall be deemed guilty of a misde
meanor.
Sec. 1O3. The words primary election, -
Us useu III t4iiS stGt Silell ne CoHstFlieu so as
to embrace all elections held by any political
party, convention, organization or assOcia
ton, or delegates therefIom. for tie purpose
of choosing candidates for Office or The cleo
ton of delegates to other conventions or for
the purpose of electing officers of any po-
litical party, organization, convention, or as
sociatiou.
Sec. 105. The punishment of any of the
offenseg i'll this act declared to be misde
meanors shall be a fine not exceeding $4,000,
or imprisonment not exceeding three years,
or both such fine and imprisonment.
The following extract from the state
constitution bears also upon the point:
Sec. 10. Tine legislature shall have full
power to exclude from the privilege of elect
ing or being elected, any person convicted of
bribery, perjury, or any other infamous
crime

SMASHED TO PIECES.
A Chicago Accident in which
Three Persons Are Injured.

Three Persons Are Injured.
CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-A serious accident
said to be due to the absence OF proper
guard at the Rock Island railroad cross
ing on Thirty-ninth street. occurred at
10:45' last night. A west-bound Went
worth avenue car was struck by pass
enger. train and smashed to pieces.
Three of the six people in the car were
hurt, two Of them seriously If not
fatally. The wounded are: John Noe
ton, driver of the car, head and body
cut, internal injuries, which may cause
his death. John O'Mear, carpenter,
right hand cut. left leg broken. and knee
injured. William O'Mear, carpenter,
brother of John, bruised about left nip
and arm. Who is responsible for the
accident can only be ascertained by an
investigation, but it is claimed that neg
iect somewhere, either Oh the part OF
the Rock Island company or its en-
ployes, is responsible for the smashup.
There are gates at this crossing. and it
is the duty of the f1agman to lower them
when train approaches, but this was
not done last night according to the
statements of the conductor of the street
car and others.

The employment of the electric cur

upon condemned murderers marks an
other step of progress in the refinement
of the methods of capital punishment.
And yet, if twenty condemned criminals
were asked to-day what mode of death
they would prefer. it is not too much to
say that all would vote in favor of the
past system of hanging, because the
dread of death by electricity, which is
so mysterious in it's work, is terrible in
anticipatlon-and it is in the anticiDa-
ton of death that the punishment of
criminals is mysteriOusly emphasized.

THE REVOLUTIONARY REDS
Listen to Fiery Grafton by Paul
GPOttkau


CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-W hat was appar-
emily deliberate test of the anarchists
as to how far they could go under Judge
Tuley'S decision confirming their right
of free aSSemblage, was made this after
noon. This was the first Sunday since
the ruling, and the day was made
the occasion for a great outpouring.
The doubtful honor of being
the leader in tue venture of discovering
the extent to which could be carried the
advocacy of force, fell to Paul Grottkau.
who often in times past has got behind
prison bars for experiments of a similar
nature. West Twelfth Street Turner
hall was crowded in anticipation of
something unusual. Prof. Garside, a
state socialist, was the first speaker, but
even i'll his most heated appeals there
was no suggestion of the doctrine
of force. Gil ottkau'S speech followed.
He began by complimenting Garside on
the eloquence of the speech inst deliv-
cred. and then aSSailed the peace policy
with extraordinary vehemence. "A
handful of men," declared Girottkau,
''could not hope to secure freedom by
peaceable means. The oppressors would
not give up their privileges without
fighting for them. Every step, said
he, that has BEEN made in ad-
vance has been paid for in
blood. and has left pathway be-
hind it strewn with corpses. The his
tory of progress is the history of a
battle. and we, too, will have to fight for
our rights. How did this republic free
itself? By blood. How was the slavery
question settled? By blood. These
victories were not won by holding
prayer meetings and singing hymns. l.

must trample it under our feet, until the
