CHILDs-DREXEL HOME.

Dedication of the Home for Union
Printers at Colorado Springs.
COLORADO SPRINGS Coll, May r.
The Childs-Drexel Home for Printers
was dedicated here to-day with appropri-
ate ceremonies. The building is located
one mile from the city, on elevation
which overlooks the Garden of the Gods,
Pixies Peak, Manitou and the Cheyenne
Canyon. 1t is built of white lava stone,
with red sandstone trimmings, and is
four stories high, 144X40 feet, with all
modern conveniences. A full descrip-
ton and history Of the home appeared in
the RECORD-UNION Of May 9th.
At the dedication to-day Hon. Ira G.
Sprague, Mayor of Colorado Springs, de-
livered the address of welcome i'll behalf
of the city, in which he spoke i'll eulogy
of the printers and the printing trade,
instancing many illustrious men. begin
ming with Horace Greeley, who had been
printers.
Governor John l.. Routt delivered the
address of welcome in behalf of the state,
cOngratulating Colorado on being chosen
by the donors as a site for the building,
and the donors for having selected the
most suitable spot in the country.
Hon. George W. Childs spoke briefly,
saying that it was forty-one years ago
when the international Typographical
Union was established. Printers unions
not only had spread the light of educa-
ton and reason over this vast continent;
they had given to labor higher dignity,
broader independence and all those quail
tiles which render it of greatest worth.
The speaker continued, saying he had
been more or less intimately associated
with printers from his DOyhoOd, and nat
uraily sympathiZed with them, and what
little he had been able to do to express
respect and admiration for them, had
honored him, more IN the giving than the
craft in receiving. Printers are not in
debted to him, but he to them.
The dedicatory exercises were preceded
by parade of military and civic socie-
ties and the Printers Union.
AS Mr.. Childs concluded he was
roundly applauded. August Donath OF
Washington followed Mr.. Childs with a
brief history of the Home. -,

A MARSHAL IN TROUBLE.

Placed Under Arrest on n Charge of
kidnapping.
SAN DIEGO, May 12-Deputy United
States Marshal \. W. Marsh was arrested
in Los Angeles to-day on charge Of kid
naping, and was brought to this city to-
night. Thomas Smallcomb was arrested
at Tia Juana and brought up here on the
same charge. They were released on bail
in the sum of $500 each.
The story dates back to about fifteen
months ago. Edward Crosthwaite, re-
siding in Lower California, is said to
have had some difficulty with Governor
Torres, and came across the line. Ac-
cOrding to the statement of CroSthWaite,
the Governor was very anxious to have
him under his jurisdiction, and offered
quite sum for that purpose.
1t is charged that Marsh and Small
comb set about to earn the money and
secured a warrant from Tia Juana JUS
tice on some charge and proceeded to
Bakersfield, where CrosthWaite was then
located, placed him under arrest, put him
in irons and took him to Tia Juana. The
irons were then removed, and he was al
lowed to walk about with a Constable.
Deputy Marshal Marsh went to supper,
leaving Crosthwaite in charge of Justice
Cruise in a small Shanty. Cruise then, it
is said, told Crosthwaite to skin across
the line, and on his refusing, fired two
shots SO close to the prisoners head that
he ran out of the house and in one or two
steps was across the line and in the arms
of MeXicans, who kept him in Jail eleven
months without trial. AS soon as Hber-
ated he came to this city and put the case
in the hands OF officers.

SAN FRANCISCO, May FIN August of
last year a man known by the name of
Davis was convicted and sentenced to i'm
prisonment in Jail at Albuquerque, y.
NJ. on a charge Of counterfeiting. After
serving few months in Jail, Davis, as he
was then known, became intimately &C
quainted with a fellow-prisoner, whose
name he says he does not know. The
two prisoners agreed upon plan of es-
cape and it was successfully carried ont
but lust as they were leaving the jail yard
their escape was detected by the guards
and the companion of Davis was shot and
killed.
1t turns out now that Davis was none
other than James Staples. kilograms
were sent out, but for eight months the
authorities were unable to locate Staples.
and he remained at liberty, taking ND his
residence in Phoenix, A. T. Finally tir-
inu of life in New Mexico, and having a
brother in Eureka, he concluded to come
to California. By some means the au-
thorities learned of the whereabouts of
the brother of the counterteiter, and eN-
Meeting that Staples would visit Eureka
Detective Harrison was communicated
with, and he at once left for that city and
returned to-day with Staples III charge.
and he was locked up in the County Jail
and will be taken back to Albuquerque
shortly.
Staples does not look like criminal.
and seems TO take bis re-capture to heart
very much. He explains this by saying
that he does not care for himself, but his
brother will feel the disgrace very much.
Staples in about 30 years of age, and.
when captured, was working as a laborer
under the objection of his brother at a
shipyard in Eureka.

in Andrassey street, one of the fashion,
able thorOughfares. As one of the electric
cars was moving along there was a sud-
den jar, followed by terrific roar The
shock was very great and the people in
the car were terribly frightened. Investi-
cation showed that the explosion was
caused by a dynamite cartridge, concealed
along the rail in such manner that the
tiange on the wheels would explode it.
Search showed that seven other cart
ridges were placed along the side rails,
but in some manner had become mis-
placed, 1t is fortunate, for had the cart
ridges exploded simultaneously, no doubt
the car would have been blown to pieces
and many Of the occupants killed. The
wheel that struck the cartridge was blown
off the axle, and the bottom of the car
badly shattered. Nearly all the passen-
gers were more or less severely bruised,
but none Of the injuries are fatal.

Bloody fragments of flesh were scattered

Beside the engineer and fireman on the
train, the tragedy was witnessed by three
men, and from their version it appears
that, instead of being an accident, il was
a deliberate suicide. They stated that
they saw the Chinaman Iimping down
the track, and as he seemed i'll they stood
and watched him. When he was about
200 yards from the power-house OF the
electric road the whistle of the incoming
San Jose passenger train was heard, and
after moments hesitation the China
man stepped on to the track between the
rails. AS soon as the engineer saw him
he put on his brakes, reversed his engine
and Whistled shrilly, but it was impossi-
ole to stop the train in time to prevent

official act Of Governor Murphy was the

dons: ''No application for pardon or
communication of sentence will receive
consideration unless notice of said appli-
cation has first been published at least
two weeks in some daily or weekly paper
in the county where the conviction was
had, thereby atfording an opportunity
for protests, proof OF which publication
must accompany the application. Pc
titions for pardon should be over the sig
nature of the judge who sentenced the pris-
oner, two-t thirds of the jury who brought
in the verdict of conviction and at least
twenty-five petitioners residing in the
locality where the crime was committed.
This rule will not be considered arbitrary
as to signature of the judge and jurors,
provided it is proven they have lett the
country and cannot be reached. But
such proof must accompany the applica-
ton. Such applications will then be re-
terred to the Board of Prison Commits
sioners. The foregoing rules do not ap-
ply to pardons for the purpose of restor-
ing citizenship at the expiration of SEN
