A SEA MONSTER.
The Great San Pedro Turtle OF
Exhibition,

The immense turtle captured Satur-
day near San Pedro was placed ON ex-
hlbition in this city yesterday at abe
Novelty theatre by Mr.. S. Nicoletti, and
will remain there for several days. A
HERALD reporter saw it last evening
and found it to be even larger than
reported, though the weight was given
correctly in yesterdays HERALD. The
front flippers are over three feet each in
length, and the animal is considerably
over seven feet from nose to tail, and
measuring across the creatures back it
is over eight feet from tip to tip of the
fippers. Its shell is smooth, but in
dented with wide longitudinal corruga-
tions. 1t could not have withdrawn
itself into its shell as turtles are sup
posed to do, but from its size and the
savage look of it's head it would scarcely
need to. 1t is expected that it will be
exhibited for some time, then passed
through the taxidermist's hands, and
finally make an exhibit at the Colum-
bian exposition.

THE DOG POISoNER.
Two Valuable Animals Done to Death
Yesterday.

The dog poisoner is still abroad. Yes
terday two fine animals were poisoned,
one on the corner of Ash and Spring
streets, and the other on the corner of
Seventh and Broadway. The citizens
residing in this part of the city have
formed a vigilance committee for the
purpose of Furnishing the wretch who is
doing the poisoning. The HERALD yes
terday received information from one OF
the committee appointed by the citizens,
giving the name of the suspected party.
Among those who have banded together
for the purpose of bringing the fellow to
Justice there is lack of harmony on
one point. They are about evenly di-
vided as to whether he should be
lynched or tarred and feathered. The
cooler ones are in favor of the latter
course.

THE MINERS RELIEF FUND.

Five weeks ago the miners appealed
to us for aid. Their call was unexpected
and came at a most unfaV0rable time.
The labor organizations represented in
the Central Labor Federation Of New
York had just contributed, most llber-
ally, to the support of union men on
strike in this city and elsewhere. Some
of the trades were in the midst of their
dull season and the usual expenditures
Of the New Year holidays had further
more drained the pockets Of working
men. Members Of the Socialist Labor
party had taken lively interest III the
national fair for the support of their
organ and were likewise inCapaCitated
to make further pecuniary sacrifices. 1t
took Us some time, therefore, to put our
relief machinery in motion; but it is

Locomotive Building in 1890.

The Plttsburg american Manufacturer
says that "the locomotive building by
private firms was considerably more in
1890 than in 1899. In 1899 sixteen firms
built 1850 locomotives. In 1890 four
teen firms built 2,213, and we know that
several of those who have not yet re-
ported were very busy through the year.
We may therefore conclude that the
years product has been materially
greater than that of 1883, when seven
teen firms built 21S0 locomotives.
Eleven of the firms that have reported
UP to date built over | $ per cent. more
engines in 1890, than in 1889 All but
two of these firms increased their output
and one Of the two Is the Grant Loco

The Baldwin Works lead with 953 loco

largest builders, and their increase in

The aim and spirit of the farmers
movement were well expressed by Sena-

to the Kansas Legislature He said:
"About three years ago it was writ

would have disappeared; but | say no; it

of the people and prepare to take posses
sion of the Government, and by the
time the nineteenth century closes in
will be governed by the people that are
in them.
THE people"-as PETER understands
it--are the great middle classes, and
it is expected that the wage workers
will seal their own doom by recovering
for them the political power which they
have lost by their misuse of it, Those

Of Washington, in their corporate
capacity have enough labor, wealth
and credit to build amy railroad they

that in this year of grace 1891 there are
SO many who cannot yet see that.
1t has been previously stated here that
the United States had at last surpassed
Great Britain ia the production of iron.
We are now in possession Of the exact
figures. The production in this country
increased from A ,290,0 600 net tons in 1880
to 10, 307 600 tons in 1890, or considerably
more than 100 per cent; whereas in
Great Britain, during the same ten
years, it remained almost stationary,
having only increased from 1,,49, 600
gross tons to about 100000. 1t may
not !e quite needless to state again in
this connection that in the same period
the wages of the labor employed in iron
making have rather tended to a decrease
than to an increase, Computed in the
necessaries of life, they were certainly
! lower in 1890 than in 1880.
The working population of Paris in
cludes 2G7, 600 men and 232, 900 women.
The distribution according to trade is
as follows; Men, building trades, $4,000;

tailoring, 10000; furniture $4,000;
