Our fair Los Angeles seems to be con-
yeriing herself into a sort of Aceldama,
of late. People have taken to blowing
their livers and lights out with a reck-
lessness that has become absolutely re-
voting. Order is eaid to be heavens
first law, and the entirely irregular way
in which these disgusting butcheries are
effected outrages good taste, decency,
and the prescriptions of the law. We
can now perfectly understand how, under
the old English common law, the body
of q suicide was taken to a crossroads,
buried in the earth and stake driven
through it. Suicides hereabouts have
become lately absolutely the most i'm
polite thing we know of, and it is high
time fer surcease Of these gross man

superintendent LOwry's Calcula-
tions, as to Running Cars,
Completely Upset.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
MINNEAPOLIS. April 12.-Shortly before
O'Clock this afternoon, as Fourth ave-
nue car was on its way back, it was sur
rounded by huge and excited crowd.
Finally some one set the brake on the
rear platform and stopped it. At this
juncture squad of mounted police DASH
ed out of an alleyway from the Central
Police Station and rushed at full speed
into the crowd with clubs drawn. Once
in the center of the crowd they arrested
three men and retreated. The crowd
was constantly augmenting and was get
ting very violent. To make matters
worse, q number of express wagons,
filled with strikers drove up in 'front.'
of the cars and succeeded in making
a complete blockade. The driver of the
car finally unlocked his horses and went
off amid the cheers of the crowd, leaving
the car standing on the track. A little
later another car OH Washington avenue,
while n its way back, was blocked by
two woodcarts, which were dropped on
the corner of Washington and Hennepin
streets. The driver became disguised,
and, unhitching the horses, drove off,
The situation was getting serious. A
great many stones had been thrown and
the excitement ran at fever heat. Three
mounted policemen charged upon the
crowd, throwing down several people
and injuring number. Several arrests
we're made this time and one man was
numerically dubbed by six or seven po-
licemen. The attempt to move the cars
was then abandoned and the crowd
became less demonstrative and gradually
thinned out, leaving two cars on the
track. Thus ended the day in which
Lowry prophesied that he would have all
the cars running on every line before
night.
ST.. PAUL, April 12.-The street.car
strike has extended from Minneapolis to-
this city this afternoon, when all the
men, except those ON the cable lines,
went out. The cause of the strike is the.
same as that at Minneapolis. The men
object to the reduction Of % per cent. inA
their wages which had been ordered.
Everything is quiet.

A disclaimer of a Hog C,ame<

CHIoA$oo, April 12,-Iae manager for
Armour & Co. was interviewed to-day
regarding the allegations in the despatch
from New York that Armour & Co.,
through their influence with the cotton
seed Trust, had compelled the American
Meat Company to close its subscription
books and retire. The manager said
that there is no truth in the matter. Mr..
Armour was in Europe when the stock
of the American Meat Company was
foated and never attempted, in any way,
to force the company out of business, nor
has any representative of his firm
done SO.

A Glass Dress,

Prof. Theo. Greiner, whose superb
exhibit of glass blowing, including his
wonderful glass steam engines, have
been astonishing the visitors at the Mu-
scum, places on exhibition to-day a
most remarkable piece of glass art in the
shape of female costume, dress, hat.
"pull-back" and all, entirely made of
glass, and can be worn by lady with
little Inconvenience. 1t represents eight
months patient toll. The result is a
really exquisite dress which is as flexible
and durable as silk. 1t was cut and
sewed by an expert dressmaker, and is a
really marvellous piece of work.

A Mad Dog I'm a Schooi

FRANKLIN. Pa, April 12.-Thursday
afternoon mad dog created considerable
excitement in Cranberry township, and
before it could be killed it bit two men
and number of animals. Just as the
scholars at enc of the public schools

appearance, followed by number of
men. The dog ran into the hallway of
the school, where it was finally killed.
During the excitement several children,

there was no ground for judicial inquiry
into the conduct of Boulanger, was re-

then resolved, by vote of 210 to 55, to
proceed Immediately with his trial. LIE
Rover read the decree authorizing the
Senate to sit as court and directing the
trial to proceed.
Several members Of the Right refused
to accept seat on the Senate Commits

speech, said he would never be party
to the prosecution, on such frivolous
grounds, of a General who had well
served his country. The sitting was q
stormy one.

WHITTIER gets the State Reform School
which, by the last Legislature, is to be
located in Los Angeles county. Both the
other commissioners voted for Whittier,
Mr.. Hervey Lindley modestly withhold
ing his vote. 1t was generally conceded
that Mr.. Damron, in introducing the bill
originally, had his friend Lindley in view,
and thus things have happened as might
have been expected, and they might have
happened worse. Whittier lies well, it
is controlled by a pleasant gentleman
with decided genius for affairs, and we
heartily hope that the San Francisco
Post is wrong when it says that the
appropriation, not only for the Insane
Asylum, but for the Reform School is
invalid.
