The Carnegie employees, after long
conference, have agreed to go to work.
Carnegie, whose heart bled so much for the
workingmen and mechanics last fall, and
who contributed largely to the Republican
campaign fund, that the Protection policy
might be continued and laborers be happy,
few mouths ago decided to make cut
in wages Of thirty-fve per cent When
the time came for the cut to 60 into effect
the men resisted. A strike followed, aud
riot and bIoodshed, After two days cou-
fcren,e compromise was made-the men
to accept twenty per cent. reduction, and
the scale Of wages TO ran for three years
This win run the time up to 1892, when
an advance viii be made in wages to de-
ceiye the vorkingmen into voting for
Protection in the Presidential election Of
that wear.

Striking Political Changes.
From the PhiladeIphia ledger.

From the Philadelphia ledger.
In many parts of the South, and in
some parts of the North, there are indica-
tons of changes which are curiously out
Of accord with that spirit of our political
institutions which makes the people su-
preme in the choice of the administrators
of government they are changes which
indicate the peoples lack of confidence in
themselves, in their ability to choose wise
ly and well the executors of their laws In
several of the larger centres of population
in the South the citizens of greatest social
influence have prayed the legislatures of
their respective states to relieve them from
the responsibility of choosing their own
municipal officers, and making it part of
the duty of the governor to appoint their
mayors for them, and in some instances
their city councils.
1t is rather curious that this change
should be proposed in this country, while
in France, where the state is virtually alb
solute in its control of local governments,
the movement has been going on for years,
even during the time of the late Empire,
to secure the transfer of local administra-
ton directly to the people.
1t is reasonable to surmiSe that the pro-
perry owners and taxpayers of the South
ern cities, who are largely outvoted by the,
as yet, uneducated and thriftless colored
people, who, because of their ignorance
and thriftlessness, are too easily controlled
by the scheming and INSCRIPTIONS pOliti-
clans, should feel that their material inter
ests would be better protected by citizens
Of their own condition who would be APP
pointed by the governor. They have
found that the men that the majority have
elected to the municipal offices have in too
many cases used their authority to the in
jury of the tax-paying class, and not infre-
queutly to their own advantage.
But in respect of the cities of the North,
which have made changes which seem like
backward movements, they have not the
excuse to offer for them which the South
err cities do offer.

that during the severe storm that pre-
vailed on the 4th the Danmark broke her
shaft. AS she rose on the crest of wave
and began to descend the propeller was,
for moment, clear of the water, while re-
volving very rapidly. At This time
the shaft in the tunnel broke
near the aft end of section. The Jagged
end OF the portion ofthe section connected
with the engine tore hole in the bottom
of the vessel. At this moment an engine
pipe burst, killing Engineer Kaas imme-
fiately and loOseniug the iron plates at
the side OF the vessel, causing another
leak. The machinery waa completely
disabled, and no attempt was made 10
mend the shaft, as it would have been
useless, even if possible.
At the time of the disaster the Danmark
was eight hundred miles from the New
foundland banks She at once fell into
the trough of the ses, and WIS as helpless
as log, the waves constantly breaking
over her. Fortunately the after compart-
ment ofthe vessel was closed and kept the
water back. Measures were at once taken
to get sails on the vessel; she was put be-
fore the wind, and everything done
that skillful seamanship could suggest to
secure the safety Of the vessel and passen-
gers.
The Missouri was sighted on the 5th
and took the Danmsrk in tow. On the 9th
the case seemed to be hopeless. SO much
water was in the hold that she lost her
buoyancy, and every time she went down
in the trough Of the seas the passengers
thought it would be her last plunge. The
Missouri WAS signslled, the passengers
transferred and the Danmark then aban-
dOned.

WASHINGTON, April 22-There has

Gen. Goff has telegraphed that he will not
be here until next week. 1t is rumored
that Mr.. Atkinson will arrive in the city
on Thursday, end will he followed next
day by Maj McGinnis. In the meantime
things are hanging fire, and the West Vir-
einians who are in the city are becoming
irritated rs we'll as anxious. West Vlr-
ginia has received all that she will get
from the present administration, and is
only now interested in the three or four
consulships which will be given to her.
The Commission of DIR John s. Pipes to
be a member of the Board of Medical Ex-
aminers at the Pension Department at
Wheeling was made out to-day. DR..
Pipes was an applicant for cOnsulship,
and this virtually removes him from the
fight. 1t is probable that position of
some kind will be found for either Mr..
Maxwell or Mr.. Bradley, and. this will
leave only one man in the upper end of
the State an applicant for consulship.
The protests which are coming in from
Republicans in the other districts of the
State are 80 strong that it is not likely
that neither Gen. Goff, Mr.. Atkinson or
Mr.. McGinnis will be able to stand the
pressure and so they will be bound to di-

Horrible Discovery Of The Father and

Motive.

NEW YORK, April ga Charlotte, n.
O., special gays: W. p. Wood, Of Msson
county, is an industrious and steady far
mer, who by hard and regular work has
been able TO support his wife and five
children and save few hundred dollars
besides. This money Wood always kept
in his house as there were no banks con
venient, and this fact was generally
known in his neighborhoOd. On Monday
last he was called away and returned
Friday to find his dwelling in ashes.
Without thinking it was probable that
his family WAS burned with his house he
went among his nearest neighbors to in
quire Of their whereabouts. No one
could give him any tidings and ss he
lived five miles from any neghbOr
the fact was not known among
them that his house was
burned. Sympathizing friends then joined
him in his search for his family. As a
last resort they turned towards where the
dwelling hsd stood. Woods family con-
sisted of his wife, three sons and two
daughters.
The mystery was soon cleared away.
Axes and clubs and two large bowie
knives, all stained with blood, were found.
Then at q short distance they found the
trunk in which Wood kept his money Il
had been broken open and rihed. Enough
bones were rsked from the ashes to prove,
with the blood-stained weapons, that the
family had been murdered and then
burned. When this discovery was made,
Wood tainted, and it was necessary to car
ry him away. There are, as yet, no clues
to the perpetrators Of the terrible crime.
