4 THANKSGIVING s1oaY.
Sensational Dupont story Published In
Philadelphia Paper.


Philadelphia daily contains a seusa-
tional story this morning in relation to
to the DUPONT re-bugs. Ii says that
there was regularly organized society
called the "Neversweats bent upon the
destruction of all property belonging to
the DuPonts The society was, accord
ing to this story, known as social and
litera. v" club Once a year it
Invitations were obscene and the dances
were regular orgies The members were
bound together by an iron clad oath to
redress one anothsr's grievances They
were servile to the dictates of the regn
larly elected officers. and dared not de-
muir from the execution Of any crime,
however diabolical
The story in question says that it WINS
the plan of this society to burn all the
property of the DuPont's on this Thanks
order to make the loss of life from the
explosions much less than 1t would be
when the men were working The dry
leaves 10 the neighborhood we're to be
ignited In several places simultaneously
Attorney-Genera, VIII Not Talk.
When this story was referred to At
totney General Biggs at noon to-day, he
said
Il have no knowledge that the con
spiracy TO burn the DUPONT pro-
perty fixed upon Thanksgiving
Day. Further than that have nothing
to say about the case, as trial is now
pending and do not think that ought
to do it. 2
That there vas an organized conspiracy
no one doubts. but the Thanksgiving
Explosion story is probably an effusion
of the over-heated brain Of some Whining
ton penny-s-liner who was writing to xiii
space FOR consideration. .

The Union League Club, of New York City,
Is Severe on Mob Justice in That City
and Passes a Set of Resolutions
New YORK, April 9.-The Union League
Club, of this city, has made declaration
relative TO the recent killing in New Or
leans The Committee on Political Reform
of the club tonight submitted report,
which was adopted, of which the following
are extracts:
No event has occurred in the history of this
country in time of peace so fraught with
peril to our institutions as this. 1t may be con-
ceded that it is highly probable there was
a kind of rude Justice meted out to the victims
of the massacre, and in SO far as that result
was reach ed it may be received IN explanation OF
the motives of those engaged in 1t, and relieve
them from the charge of brutal, Wanton MUIR
der, committed to crafty wicked and ferocious
natures. Under government of law and order
the act committed was murder and nothing but
murder, and in community alive and sensi-
tive to the duty of maintaining law and order
the perpetrators would be sought out and pun
ished.
1t does not seem probable that any such
course will be pursued. for the reason that, SO
far as can now be gatheren. almost the entlre
sentiment of the city. official and unofnclal,
either wholly approves OF the act or is reaoy 70
EXCUSE anu IL.
The New Orleans case has this important ana
new feature, that no force was exercised until
the law had taken its full course ana
had, as alleged, failed to punish danger
GUS characters The conditions are those
of government of anarchy. II the
laws failure in this case to do Justice can
Justify mob violence, it can do it again and
again. This is the first great step in our his
tory, taken by the alleged best citizens, to teach
and illustrate the doctrine OF mob violence In
place OF law. The events in New Orleans and
the tendency of them cannot be viewed by any
good citizens without the cTavest apprehension
We recommend the adoption of the following
resolutions:
Resolved, That we call upon the General
Government and the several States to use all
lawful means that they possess to prevent the
ilnportation of criminals and paupers; that we
call upon the courts to be rigid in administering
the laws as to naturalization. and in resisting
the opportunities of political parties to clothe
improper persons with the rights OF cltlzen-
ship.
Resolved, That we call upon the press and
the public to agitate and discuss the subject of
the importation of paupers. to the end that II
present laws are not sufficient to save our coun;
try from this great peril. others may be enacted
that shall be effective to that end
