MONDAY EVENING. APRIL 1, 1895.

ANOTHER patent illustration OF the
calibre of the men the labor organiza-
tons almost invariably select for their
leaders is afforded by the fact that Mr.
Sovereign, the grand master workman
of the Knights of Labor, has nominated
Mr.. Eugene V. Debs as the candidate
of the labor party for President in 1896,
and that that nomination has been en-
dorsed by the Indiana contingent OF
the knights. AS pecuniary profits the
highest ambition of most of these lead
ers. and as morals and brains have
ceased to become a Presidential quail,
fcatior, Mr.. Debs, with an assured
100000 for four years service, and un-
bounded opportunities for perquisites,
might prove not worse than some Presi'
dents the country has had, provided his
friends would not have to subject him
to the gold cure again. But the fact
that such a man has been nominated
for the highest office under the govern.
ment, by the chief of n of the most
numerous and powerful labor organiza,
tons. shows the reckless disregard
many of the people of the country have
for its real welfare.

Terrific EXPLOSION of a Boiler

WoBURN, Mass, Apl. AT 6:5S this
morning, just as the men in Jones's
leather factory were preparing for
work, the boiler in the engine room OF
the building exploded with tremen-
dous force, tearing out the end of the
building and burying in the ruins at
least a dozen men. Heavy pieces OF
timber were thrown into the air and
the huge chimney which was over
eighty feet high, came down with a
crash. The force of the explosion was
such that one of the boilers was thrown
clear across a heavy partition into the
main part of the building. Five men
were killed and six or eight injured.
Strange to say the ruins did not take
fire. The big timbers of the structure
were piled in such a manner on top OF
the unfortunate men that it vas a diff
cult matter to remove them. Had the
accident occurred two minutes later
the loss of life would have been much
more serious. 1t is impossible to tell
at this hour, just how many are dead,
as there are many missing.

GOVERNOR O'FERRALL says he sign
ed the bill allowing pool selling at the
St. Asaph and Jackson City race tracks
because, to use his W words; Il felt
sure that the privilege would not be
abused nor carried to any great extent
by the agricultural societies and driv-
ing associations then chartered, as
they were managed, so I believed, by
gentlemen who would not tolerate
horse racing for the sake of gambling"
AS the Governor has served in the leg
islature and in Congress and has mixed
with men Of all kinds and %colors, his
observant faculties must be limited,
for otherwise he would know that the
maintenance of race tracks for any 9TH
er purpose than gambling has long
since been a lost art, not only in the
North, but in Virginia, within whose
borders, alas! all the evils of all the
other States of the Union have obtained
a foothold. Every pool seller pays a
hundred dollars for his privilege, and
what they pay supports the tracks.

here it is learned that Notwithstanding
the fact that Mr.. Hampton Hoge has
not sent the papers in his contested
election case to the clerk of the House,
he has, by no means, abandoned that
case, but says he will prosecute it to the
end.
The room of the Us Supreme Court
was crowded to-day by reason of the
report that a decision would be render
ed in the income tax case. The fact
that it was not rendered is conducive TO
the belief that when it shall be, it will
be in favor of the constitutionality of
that tax, as the law that imposed it will
be effective on the 18th inst, and the
court would show little regard for the
executive branch of the government if
it should permit it to make all arrange
ments for the collection of the a that
it not be collected.
One of ex Senator Lewis's son who

about his neighborhood on horseback.
A bold and successful attempt to
rob the office of the Alexandria ferry
company at the foot of 7th street was

Two safes were blown open, from which

not be negotiated, were stolen. Of this

ATTEMPTED RoBBERY.-A bold as
sault, with robbery as the incentive, was
perpetrated by three men upon Mr.. r
A. Golden, the Washington oyster and
fish dealer, shortly after 9 o'clock Sat
urday night. Mr.. Golden had
entered an unlighted alley lead
ing to his stable near 10th and
F streets, southwest, when he was
seized by three men who demanded his
money. He was struck in the fcre'
head and a pistol pointed at him when
he cried loudly Murder; police" He
attempted to draw his pistol, but ii
caught in his pocket. The robbers,
alarmed at his cries, fed and Mr.. Gold
en- fred a shot in the direction of their
~retreating forms. His wound in the
forehead is q severe one. Charles
Warden, Daniel Adams and Robert
Simmons were arrested yesterday on
the suspicion that they were implicated
in the attempted robbery. Several
persons have identified them as having
been seen running away from the scene
OF the assault on Mr.. Golden and after
wards returning with the crowd. Some
of them have been in trouble with the
police before. One fthe men arrested
has been identified by a colored en-
ploye of Mr.. Golden, who says he asked
him earlier in the evening if Mr.. Gold
en- had returned. This the prisoner
denies.

Arrested,

New YORK, April 1.-Two arrests
were made to-day by detectives who
are hunting for the murderers OF the
colored woman whose body vas found
wrapped in carpet and horribly mutt
lated in the courtyard of the New York
Bank Company's building, Waverly
Place, and Sixth avenue. The iden-
tity of the men who have been arrested
is carefully concealed for the present.
This is done because both of the pris-
oners indicate a willingness to save
their lives by telling all they know
concerning the crime. A woman en-
ployed in the Delaware, Lackawauna
and Western railroad company's ser
vice is positive she saw the murdered
woman on Tuesday last at Hoboken,
and is sure she can identify the body.
Coroner Dobbs will hold an inquest on
Thursday in the case.
