men, on the employment OF children in the
German factories, the Consul says:
Highly important social phenomena are
described in the report of the Factory In
spectors for 1883, where they refer to the
employment Of children aud juvenile work
ers in industrial pursuits. The
Saxon Inspectors whose service is the
best organized IN Germany, state, first of
all, that during the p ,st year no less than
0,652 children from II to Il years of age, an
increase of 1000 over the previous year,
were employed in industrial establish
ments.
"The latest reports of the Saxon factory
inspectors further contain the very
serious and important statement tkut during
the past year the number OF juvenile work
ers between the ages of If and Ii increased
fully 20per cent. while the number Ofgrown-
up workers increased only 8 per cent. In
stead of 10 053 the number in 1886, there
are no fewer than 2i,lll juvcnilo workers
employed in the largest industrial district Of
Germany"

THIRTEEN FIRES Is SEVEN DAYS.
Danbury, Conn, has been under great ex-
element during the past week over the dar-
ing work of an inc .ndiary, or gang of in
ccndiarcs, to whose work is attributed 10
fires within seven days. Many buildings
have been destroyed aud life lost, and al
though large rewards are ollerel and every
possible effort made, there is not the slight
est clue 10 the outlaws.
Monday night four fires occurred within "A
short time aud the boldness shown in the
work is startling. At 10 o'clock the store
rooms and tin shop Of J. VI. Ives K Co. were
discovered 10 be on fire. Some one had en-
tered the building by a rear window, and
oily waste, taken from cars in the neighbor-
ing railway yard had been placed between
the walls. Papers in a private desk had also
been fired and there was oil found in differ
ent parts N the place. Every gas jet had
been turned on full force. A large fire was
prevented only by the timely discovery.
\ short time after, while the two compan-
les were housing the apparatus at the head
quarters on Ives street, a large crowd ,f
people watching them, fire was discovered
not 20 feet away and in view of the iiremen.
1t was at the rear of the Danbury House,

An hour later the factory of Byron Dexter,
one Of the largest manufacturers of hats in
the city, was found in flames and the build
ings and their contents, including thousands
of finished and unfinished hats for the New
York trade, were totally destroyed. The
City gas works adjoining had anarrow escape
and the large tanks were in great danger of
exploding. Mr.. Dexter, on seeing the factory
aiire, was suddenly seized with fit OF insan-
ity and was with difficulty restrained Tie is

about $4,000; insurance $4,000 4 little
later a man was seen touching match TO a
barn Il short distance from the factory, but
he escaped before assistance could be sum

CHILDREN DYING.

CONDITION or THE LoCKED-oUr MINEEs IN
NORTHERN ILLINOIS.
The starvation, sickness and death among
the miners families in Northern Illinois is
greater than at any time in the past. The
large supplies sent through the Chicago Re
lief Committee have been exhausted and the
people are face to face with hunger. The
little ones are dying daily, and sickness is
greatly on the increase. 1t is no longer u Sc
cret that the operators have decided to open
their mines with non-Union men, and have
already prepared to call upon the sheriils
and the Governor for armed officers and sol.
diers to hold their locked.out miners in
check, 1t is impossible to predict what the
consequences in such an event will be.

pouch stolen from his mail car and that It
had been found an hour after the train had
passed lying blythe side of the track, cut open
and rified of its contents. The pouch was
through one from Albany to st. Louis. Its

Philadelphia, educational publishers has

cheney in his accounts.
Members of the firm refuse to say anything
in reference TO the matter, excep!
that Jones has made restitution so far ~
lay in his power" The amount Of the de
fclency, however. is said to he about So,
900.
Jones had mania for old books, engrav
ings and antique furniture, and is said to
have been skillful buyer Of these articles.
His house in Germantown is filled with valu
able effects. and the sum that will be realized
from their sale will, it is believed, more than
cover the deficiency in his accounts.

A DEPUTY-s SHOT,
JUDGE TERRY's LIFE ENDED ny rIqrI
SHOT.

tHOT.
Ex.Judge David s. Terry was kille,l at
Lathrop, California, on Wednesday.
On the arrival OF the Southern overland
train, United States Supreme Judge Stephen
j. Field and Deputy United States Marshal
David Nagle walked into the dining room Of
the depot hotel for break fast and sat down
side by eide.
Soon after Judge Terry and his wife came
in also They were proceeding to another
table when Mrs. Terry, evidently recognz.
ing Justice Field, did not sit down, but re-
tired 10 the train for some unknown pur-
pose. Before she reached IL, however and
as soon as she had left the dining room,
Judge Terry approached Justice Field and,
STOPPING over him, slapped his face.
At this juncture Deputy Marshal Nage
arose from his seat and shot Judge Terry
through the heart. As he was falling the
Deputy Marshal shot again, but missed him,
the bullet going through the floor. Both
shots were fired in quick succession.
During this time Judge Field and Deputy
Marshal Nagle retreatci to asleepng car,
where they were securely locked within.
Before the train pulled out Constable
Walker entered the sleeper and was carried
away on board the train lie informed the
spectators that he knew his duty and would
perform it,
Previous to the entrance of Constable

Deputy of Stanisaus County had already

The tragedy is the outgrowth ofthc bitter
struggle made by Sarah Althea Hill for Sem
ator SharOn's estate. Judge Terry acted as
counsel for the woman, who later became
his wife, and at one time was imprisoned for
contempt of Court. Mrs. Terry has frequent.
ly denounced Justice Field, claiming that his
decisions against her were unjust.
