Waterbury evening Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1887-1895, 1894-05-18

Mr.. Harris motion, he declared, was
made for the purpose of continuing the
legislation day, to shut off the transaction
of all morning business and to keep the
tariff bill before the senate to the eXclu-
sion of all other business. 1t seemed to
him, he said, that the time had hardly
come for this sort of oppressive action.
The sole purpose of the motion was to
crowd this bill, and he therefore moved to
amend it to make the time to which the
senate should take recess 10 o'clock. His
motion was held to be in order. and when
the roll was called the Republicans began
their tactical maneuvering to defeat the
proposed policy of duress.
They sought to break quorum by re-
framing from voting, but they could not
hold all of their colleagues in line on the
first vote. Messrs. Perkins, Patton, Man
derson and Allison voted for the motion
and Messrs. Shoup, Dubois and Teller
against it. All the Democrats who were
paired had reserved the right to vote if
necessary to make quorum and by voting
with the aid given them by the Repu bile
ans they were just able to muster quo
rum, and the motion was lost-5 to 38.
Mr. Henderson, upon the announcement,
finding that quorum was present, prompt
ly interfered before the vote could be taken
when the senate adjourn it be to meet on
Saturday.
THAT looks very much like filibuster-
ing" shouted Mr.. Butler amid chorus of
Democratic signs of approval. Messrs.
Dubois and Teller voted with the Demo
Gratis on this motion, but the other Repub-
licans who had voted on the first call re-
Trained, and the quorum was broken.
Upon this announcements to 80 a short
of a quorum) Mr.. Harris moved to dis
patch the sergeant-at-arms to request the
attendance of absentees.
After the senate had waited 80 minutes
at $50 Mr.. Henderson moved to adjourn
The motion was lost-12 to 80. Mr.. Butler
asked, under the guise of a parliamentary
inquiry, whether on a recent roll call
Messrs Aldrich, Chandler, Hale. Hawley
Lodge and Henderson had not responded
to their names.
"That is not parliamentary in JURY, y
replied the vice president.
1T is piece of impertinence," said Mr..
Aldrich.
Mr.. Buffers face flushed, and he wa,
about to reply when objection was made
and as debate could only proceed by unan-
imous consent in the absence of a quorum

PERHAPS A BOMB.
Explosion In Big Pot of Molten Scra
Iron Injuries Five Men.

Explosion In Big Pot of Molten Scrap
Iron Injuries Five Men.
BUFFALO, May 1S-A serious explosion
occurred in the cupola of the Buffalo
School Furniture company's foundry, and
five molders-John Schneider, Fred Bes-
ser, Samuel Henry, Fred Orge and George
Schneider-were badly hurt. Molten iron
was thrown about the foundry. The men
who were injured were both cut and burn
ed by the flying metal.
The Fitch hospital surgeons were quickly
on the scene and took the injured men to
the hospital. All of the injured men are
married except one.
The iron used in the cupola of the School
Furniture company is mostly scrap iron,
and many of the men who were at work
On the floor, as well as some members of
the firm incline to the opinion that there
was bomb or some sort of explosive ma
terial in the scrap iron, and that caused
the explosion.
However, it may have been caused by
gas generated from the coke used in melt
ing the iron.
Valentine Schneider is so badly injured
that he will die. Henry and Orge are very
severely burned, but they may recover.
The explosion completely wrecked the
cupola and damaged the end of the found
ry. 1t was terrific report and could be
heard for many blocks.

Business Interests of

1t has always been the popular idea
among business men that church is injuri-

of the street on which it staLds-
We believe this Is true to some extent,
on the principle that every building that is
closed six days a week has no attraction
for anybody. But unlike other churches
in the city, this particular church is always
open; and people are coming and going
from it all the time. from early morning,
until late at night. And 1t is largely made
of that portion of mankind who buy most
of the goods for-vomaR-
Women go to church oftener than the
men; and we suppose this is why they have
so much patience with them. We do not
know why churches should be closed on
week days; most of the sins are committed
on those days, and this is why Christian
influence ought to be at work at all hours.
East Main street is the only street in
the city where people can get married and
then step in and furnish the house from
cellar to attic, and take a car at the door
and go to any part of the city. We expect
to be In our new quarters in a very few

chimneys about the town went down be-
fore it. Much minor damage was done to

falling debris. Lightning destroyed the

THE CONFERENCE HAS ADJOURNED.

Some of the Operators Had Already Left In
Disgust, and President Mcbride Urged
the Strikers Not to Make Terms With a
Few-Ofered Compromises Rejected.
CLEVELAND, May 1S.-The miners con-
ference has failed to settle the trouble be-
tween the miners and operators. The OPP
orators refused to accede to the conditions
of the miners, and the situation remains
as before the conference.
Colonel A. p. Rend of Chicago said he
came to pour oil on the troubled waters.
He urged both sides to make some conces-
sions, and he said the Is cent and Sc cent
basis for mining was too low and proposed
O compromise of co and 90 cents. He scored
the Miners association for refusing to per-
NIT miners to work in the mines where the
operators had conceded the demands of
their men and said that the car of Russia
would not dare to issue such an arbitrary
ukase. Turning to the miners, he said
"You miners must consent to a compro-
mise scale. If not, these operators will
fight you until you are defeated. am
your friend. Let me implore you to come
together. You, miners, abandon your false
position. You, operators, give the miners
more. Say you agree on a 60 cent basis for
Ohio" Colonel Rend's remarks were APP
plauded by the operators and miners.
Mr. r. H. johnson of Hooking moved to
refer the matter back to the committee of
conference. The chair decided that Mr..
Chapman's motion to agree to the report
was before the house
President J. A. Crawford of the Illinois
Miners association made a short address,
in which he referred to Colonel Rend's
statement about his war record and said
he had done it to strike the shackles off
1000, 600 slaves.
McBride's Resolution.
When the conference reassembled in the
afternoon, the speechmaking was cOntin-
ued, Mr.. Chapman of Pittsburg speaking
for the operators and Secretary McBryde
and John Cairns for the miners. Then
President Mcbride of the Miners union
asked the operators and spectators to re-
tire from the hall in order that the miners
might hold a conference. This was done,
and consultation lasting an hour was
held.
At its conclusion President Mcbride Of
fered resolution reciting that, whereas
large mum Der of operators who had refus-
ed to attend the conference had refused
the hand of reconciliation and peace which
had been extended to them, the miners be
lieved that any settlement arrived at in
the absence of those operators would only
add to and accentuate the miserable con-
dition of the miners, and that it was i'm
possible to make any settlement with the
operators who had met them here. While
approaching the efforts of the operators
who had attended the conference to reach
settlement, the miners asked their CO.
operation in bringing peaceable and per-
suasive pressure to bear upon the absent
operators to induce them to agree to terms
with the miners. L.
These resolutions were offered to the
conference as expressing the views of the
miners and as there seemed to be nothing
more to be done the conference adjourned
