A CLERICAL VICTORY.
Liberals Badly Beaten tn the Belgian
Elections.

BRUSSELS, Oct. Is, 1S94-Further re-
turns of the Parliamentary elections
show that the Clericals have won three

the Socialists have secured nine seats
in Liege and six in Charleroi, the Cleri-
Gals losing two seats in the latter place.
The only seat, as far as known, that
has been gained by the Liberals Is in
Arlon, where a journalist named Lorand
is elected by that party. Antwerp and
Client remain in the Clerical column.
Brussels is still doubtful, but the seats
will probably be divided between the
Clericals and Socialists, both of which
parties poll heavy votes.
At present it appears that the Liberals
have been crushed between the Cler-
icals and Socialists. At eight O'Clock
this morning it is known that they have
lost thirty-one seats in the Chamber of
Deputies, and these have been chiefly
gained by the Socialists. The Catholics
have lost seven seats, five of which We're
captured by the Liberals and two by
the Socialists. As numerous reballots
may alter the position, it is impossible
in the meantime to state exactly the

ANCHORED To A pBMIJOHN.

DIAMOND, La, Oct. Is, 1S94.-A few
days ago Adolf Clark, an old and wealthy
orange grower of this place, mysteri-
ously disappeared. Soon after party
of laborers, in passing up the Levee, saw
a mans body floating down the river,
standing bolt upright in the water. The
body was caught and brought ashore.
The dead man proved to be Clark. His
feet were tied together, and five-Sallon
demijohn, filed with water, was attach
ed TO them. A man named Louis D1net
and his son were arrested, charged with
the crime. In the trial, just concluded,
the son was the principal witness
against his father.
1t developed during the trial that Clark
had lost a skiff and accused Dinet OF
stealing it, Dinet brooded over this,
and determined to get even. In company
with his son, the elder Dinet crept up
behind Clark and dealt him powerful
blow on the head with heavy stick.
Finding that he had killed the old man,
Dinet made his son assist in throwing
the body into the water.
The case was given to the jury, which
brought in a verdict of murder in the
first degree, which carries with it the
death penalty.

BURGLARS SURROUNDED IN VAIN

PORTLAND, NJ, Oct Is, 1Ss4.-At Cum
berland Centre last night an exciting
skirmish took place between burglars
and citizens. Burglars broke into Adams
& Whitney's blacksmith shop and OBJ
tanned tools with which they forced
open window in James Dunn's store,
in which the Post Office is located. Post
master Dunn, who lives across the
street. was aroused by unusual noises,
and, arning himself went behind
fence in the rear of the store, while his
brother-in-law, George Jordan, kept
watch at the front and other citizens
surrounded the place. The burglars in
the store saw Jordan in front and fired
several shots at him through the glass
in the front door. None of the shots
took effect. The robbers, who were
four in number, then opened the front
door and ran down the road toward Var
mouth, eluding their pursuers by plung-
ing into the woods. In the store they
had drilled a hole in the safe, filled the
hole with powder and inserted fuse,
and also had ransacked the Post Office
money drawer, but got nothing of value.

SING SING GARTER THE MAN.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15, 1S94-The
theory that the escaped Sing Sing con-
vict, George Carter was the leader of
the gang that perpetrated the Acquia
Creek tain robbery is strengthened
by further developments. 1t is ascer-
tanned that Carter was in Alexandria,
Va, just across the Potomas from
Washington last week. He is well
known IN that city. Carter was seen in
Weadon Bros. hardware and sporting
goods store looking at some revolvers.
The man who saw him did not remain
to see whether Carter made purchase
and the proprietors did not know their
customer. Carter's movements after he
left the store are not known.
The Alexandria police think they have
another clue to the robbers. When the
l0:40 Richmond train reached there Sat
urday night three shabbily dressed men
carrying bundles alighted, and going in
to an outbuilding, made an entire change
of clothing, leaving behind them the
suits they had taken off. This SUSPECT
Gus occurrence was reported at police
headquarters about midnight, but the
police were unable to trace the three
men beyond where they were last seen
by the depot employees.

STUDIES In LABOR.
Three Important InVestiga'
tions Made by Authority
of Congress.
WOMEN AND MACHINERY
Effects on Industry-Strikes Of the
Last Fourteen Years.

WASHINGTON, Oct Is, 1894.-The Bu-
reau of Labor has now under way three
Investigations, bearing upon economic
questions, that will be as important in
their results and as interesting in their
consideration as anything undertaken by
this department of the Government since
its organization. The work furthest
advanced is an investigation of the strikes
during the last seven years, this volume
being intended as a supplement to a re-
port made on the labor troubles of the
seven years preceding. This investiga-
ton IS entirely independent of the WORK
of the recently appointed Strike Comnlis-
sion, of which Mr.. Carroll d. Wright,
Chief of the Bureau, is a member AL
seven years, the most important strikes
of that time occurred recently-at Home
stead and around Chicago. Nothing but
absolute facts will be dealt with and
win incorporate such data as the NUM-
ber of men who went out on strike, the
duration of their idleness, the amount of
cause of the various strikes, etc.. etc.
This work is now under way and re-
quires a vast amount of careful and

preparation made for it does not appear
to be commensurate with the labor In
volved. Congress appropriated $4,000
specifically and authorized the use of so
much of the regular annual appFopria-
ton as, in the wisdom of the Chief Of
the Bureau, might be necessary to pro-
perly carry on the investigation.
WOMEN IN INDUSTRY.
Trades organizations will also. be great

CURRY which, however, will not be COM
menced before next summer, although
plans for conducting it are now being
considered This investigation will take
in the most interesting field of the re-
lations of woman to industry. Neces-
sarily it involves a study of all branches
of our national industry in which women
are now employed or for which they are
adapted; the ascertainment of facts go
ing to show where and how they have
displaced men, the effect of their em-
ployment upon the wages of men, the
capacity of woman to contest for a live
lihood in the industrial world and her
earning capacity. These three subjects
indicated here lead into channels along
which research will be prosecuted that
will be of the greatest possible interest
not only to the professor and student OF
social and political economy, but the
vast army of every day readers and
thinkers, the Iaborer, and wase-earner.
