Coxey and the Glover Club.

PHILADELPHIA, May 19.-That unique or
ganiZation, the Glover club, has played a
mammoth joke on itself in turning down
General Coxey, and one that has already
proved boomerang and may cause the
disruption of the organization. AS it is
the members are at skies and sevens, those
who invited the doughty general being
highly incensed at those who were instru-
mental in requesting him not to sit at the
table after he had come all the way from
Washington for that express purpose at
the express instance of the officers of the
club.
AS for General CoXey himself, he de-
clares that he does not care snap and has
gone back to Washington to receive his
sentence for getting on the grass.
Il did not of course imagine" he said
'when | was urged to come here, that
would be treated in this manner by those
who invited me to come, but that is of nc
Importance now. 1 regret the incident
only for one reason. Some of my people
think that I should not accept any invita-
tions of this kind, and they believe we
should have no relations with those who
oppose our movement. They will point to
this incident as proof of their theory. My
experience, on the other hand, teaches me
that converts are made by mingling with
those of opposite faiths Besides this is a
peaceful revolution-not violent one. We
desire to cultivate friendly feelings-not
antagonisms.

ORDrR OF TONTI ASSIGNS.

Involved, It Is Alleged, In Hopeless and
Irremediable Insolvency.
PHILADELPHIA, May 19.-The Order of
Tonti has made an assignment to the Land,
Title and Guarantee company and Francis
Skunk Brown, the orders attorney. The
assets are estimated at 81, 250,00O A full
disclosure of the methods employed by the
order and it's officers, which have resulted
in what looks like collapse of the order,
is contained in the bill in equity filed in
the common pleas court. To show the
hopeless insolvency of the order the bill of
complaint says that several hundred GER
tiicates providing for the payment of
sums ranging from 5000 to 81 900 have ma
tured since March 81 last, requiring in the
aggregate the payment of upward of $780,
600, and these have not been paid, nor is
there any sufficient fund upon which the
order can draw.
During the next two years certificates
will mature requiring the payment of S.
600, 000 showing an average monthly liza
bility, in addition to that already charged
against the order, of $3.50, 1888 80. Besides
this the order is now under an average
liability of $25, 600 per month for sick bene-
fits payable under it's certificates.
There are now about 10000 mem bers in
good standing in the order, Is, 000 of whom
are, according to the position assumed by
the defendants, liable to the payment OF
three assessments per month.
The order is involved, the bill says, in
hopeless and irremediable insolvency in
consequence of the neglect and misman-
agement of the officers and the violation of
its constitution and laws.

FATAL STORMS.
Great loss of Life Reported on

EIGHT WRECKS IN CHICAGO

of Aid-Some Heroic Rescues Along the
City Water Frontier known to Have
Been Observation-Disclosures Witnessed by
Thousands-Lives Lost In Milwaukee.
CHICAGO, May 19.-The storm which
swept Lake Michigan was the most disas-
trous of recent years. Eight vessels were
driven ashore within the city limits of
Chicago. Out Of their crews 10 men are
known to be drowned, and in every in
stance boat and cargo are utterly lost.
One schooner, the Myrtle, was wrecked
just outside the government pier within
half mile of Michigan boulevard, and six
men of her crew went down to death in
plain view of the hundreds of people who
lined the boulevard walks or watched the
awful storm from the windows of the big
hotels which overlook the harbor. The
wrecks extended from Glencoe on the
north, where the Lincoln Dali went to
pieces, to South Chicago, a distance of 40
miles. Following is list of the wrecks
as near as known:

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

"A resident of Railroad Hill street in
| formed the reporter to-day that the people
living on that street desire that henceforth
the place be referred to as Railroad avenue
| and says that the people ordering grocer
les and other articles from stores in the
center have long since discarded the name
Railroad Hill street.
Most of the nuisances reported in
these columns some time ago have been
abated and the sanitary condition of the
places is all that the authorities could de-
sire. One of the local physicians said to-
day that in no other part of the city was
the health of the people so good, and he
thought that much of this is due to the
precautions taken by the people in keep
ing their places free from Objectionable
matter. "Some time ago." he said, "when
the city took no notice of the streets, the
people acted in a like manner, but now
that an effort is made to keep the streets
in proper shape the residents have COM
menced to vie with each other in fitting up
their yards to correspond with the work
being done on the public highways"
There was considerable excitement at
the Bank street railroad crossing of the
New England road yesterday, many run
ming to the place thinking another big
railroad horror had occurred. The
commotion was occasioned by the falling
of the horse of Superintendent Thomas B.
Walker in the middle of the railroad
tracks. Mr. Walker lives at 70 Highland
avenue and drives home to dinner. Yes
day when the street was thronged with
people Mr. Walker accompanied by lady
was crossing the bridge. HIS horse
caught his hoof between one of the ties
and the planks running along the crossing
throwing the animal to the ground. 1t IS
a dangerous place and it is said that a
number of accidents of the same kind have
occurred there. Fortunately there was no
approaching train and no damage was sus-
tanned other than that the horse seemed to
have sprained his ankle and could not be
used to continue the trim home

Congressman Hudson of Kansas and At
torneys Lipscomb and Hyman made argu-
ments in support of the application, and
United States District Attorney Birney
represented the government. The com
monweal counsel dwelt on the allegations
that the second information was not under
oath, as required, and that the act under
which the arrest was made was unconsti-
tutional because it prevented the people
from assembling, and because it gave to
the speaker of the house, acting with the
vice president, the right to suspend legis-
lation, practically amounting to right to
repeal.
Judge Bradley, in his decision, said that
it was not within his jurisdiction to con-
slider allegations of errors made in the low
er court.
prosecution in the police court, it
seems" said the court, should be on the
oath of the party instituting the prosecu-
ton, and not at all on the oath of the pros
ecuting officer. The question of unconsti-
nationality of the act appears to be ludi-
crous-almost absurd. The right of the
people to peaceably assemble and petition
congress is subordinate to the rights of the
people in general.
ut is not right allowing any individ-
ual or individuals to override others; not
ohe Chao "oulu ehdple Gue people W as
semble in the house of congress With
such a right all the tramps of the country,
with all the vermin of the country, would
be apt to come and take practical posses
sion of either house of congress- I have
dignified this argument, it seems to me,
by too much reference to it.
"On the whole I don't think that such
a case has been made out as would justify
the court in exercising jurisdiction. The
defendants had a fair and impartial trial
in the police court. If I doubted this fact
at ALL l would issue the writ. The writ
of certiorari is therefore refused

PITTsBURG, May 19.-The Pittsburg rail

Cleveland conference have returned in a
decidedly beBigerent humor, and it is
likely the great coal strike will be prose

young fellow, at the imminent risk of be-
ing Drained by floating planks, was long
time in reaching the raft. He finally made
his way to it's side and called to Captain
John Pew to jump overheard. Pew obey
ed. Havill caught him, and the two men
were hauled ashore.
A negro named E. J. Willis swan out in
like manner and saved another man.
This left but one man on the raft, and
HaviIl was taken on the fat car once more
and carried two blocks south to where the
raft had drifted, when he again swan out
and brought off Jacob Knudson, seaman
living in Racine. Both men were utterly
exhausted and were taken to Mercy hospi-
: tai, where Pew, who is in a critical condi-
ton from chill and exposure, had preced-
ed them. The vessel drifted ashore and
was ground to pieces.
The McLaren was grounded 100 yards
from shore Her crew, commanded by
Captain K. johnson, was saved by the life
saving crew. Her mate, Joseph Spolan,
was killed by the breaking of a towpost.
His body is still among the timbers of the
vessel
Imprisoned In the Crib.
One of the most exciting features of the
storm was the Imprisonment of 81 men
who were working in the waterworks crib
off Lakeview, one mile from shore. Their
only shelter was the timber tower erected
on the crib, and until that was washed
away the men were not believed to be in
any danger.
1t was close question for them, how
ever. After that time water went over the
crib again and again in binding sheets
Crowds of people lined the shore anxiously
watching the crib, from which a distress
signal fluttered.
The contractors made frantic efforts to
get the men away, and offered the tug
companies any amount to make the res
cue, but the tugmen said it would be use
less to make the effort and would result
only in the loss of the tug without saving
the men. AS night fell the men in the crib
hung up red lantern, which was burning
steadily at midnight, and as the wind ia
gradually dying down it is believed that
all of them will be rescued.
The Myrtle, on which the chief loss OF
life occurred, not single man of her crew
of six reaching shore, was waterlogged
when she appeared off the harbor in the
afternoon. She attempted to anchor, but
was driven before the gale and struck the
schooner Evening Star, which up to that
time had been safely riding at anchor. The
Myrtle's jibboom broke off, and drifting
away from the Evening Star she struck
the schooner Clifford, and her bows being
stove in she began to sink rapidly. She
drifted out to sea, her crew being plainly
visible as they huddled together on the
top of the cabin. One was washed away.
A heavy wave broke over again, and then
only three were visible. One of them
jumped on plank and foated on close to
the breakwater, where he lost his hold and
went down. The two men on the boat
went down with her. 1t is known that the
captain of the Myrtle was named Wilson,
but nothing more is known of the crew.
