The man was so badly scalded that he
will die. The affair occurred at the Man
haitian Rolling Mill. Avenue a, just after
work had begun for the afternoon.
Both men were employed In rolling iIot
iron bars. Mcdonald is nineteen years old.
The men stood waiting for a batch OF het
bars 10 come up. Mcdonald began TO boast
OF the work he had done in Chicago, IN
which city he had been employed Gar
rity took it with i'll grace and then the
men began TO quarrel in earnest about
which could run out the greater number
OF bars in day After more high words
the men came 10 blows and Mcdonald
picked up d iron bar and hit Garrity.
Furious with rage, Garrity siezed Nc
Donald, knocked the tar from his hands
and dragged him TO cauldron or sca!ding
water, used to cool the hot hars after they
come from the rollers. Mcdonald saw
what was coming, and in terror, fought
hard, and screamed for help, but Garrity y
got him to the cauldrol before help came
and pushed him into the steaming water.
Men from all over the big workshop came
running up just too late to save Mcdonald.
Edward Diediy seized Garrity and pulled
him away, while the others helped Nc
Donald out of the cauldron. In the con.
fusion Garrity ran from the mill and
escaped.
Mcdonald who was in q frightful con-

surgeons said they could do nothing FOL
him, except put him under the influence of
opiates, and relieve him from the terrible
agony he suffered, and that his death was

DELAwARE,s LATEST SCANDAL.
Members of the Legislature DID a
Divorce Business.

Dover, Del, May 4-The Joint investlga-
ton committee of both houses of the legis-
Iature met this afternoon at l O'Clock to
look into the charges that members
had been solicited to pass divorce bills.
James II. Hoffecker appeared before the
committee, prepared to testify that lie
had been asked for money to get the Cause
divorce bill through the legislature. He
was accompanied by his brother, Francis,
and s. s. White, jT., of Philadelphia, VINO
will also testify.
Horace Greedy Knowles, attorney for Mn
Laura Crocker Acklan, of Cleveland, Ohio,
whose client was the first 10 disclose the
applications of members of the legislature
to her for money to pass her divorce bill,
came here this morning. 1t is thought that

mittee and that Mrs Acklan may also
be summoned 1t is charged that some Of
the members Of the legislature have made
thousands of dollars out of the diYorC e
bills passed at this session.

ynIo. A New DereIonment.

1t is to be feared that there is too much
truth in the sad story ofincOmpetence OF and
cowardice on the part of Crown Prince
Constantine and his chief officers, brought
10 us in the war news of yesterday. The
Incompetence is proven, although that
part OF the blame should be literally di-
vided with the former ministerial authorities
ut Athens. As to the charge of cQwardice,
there seems to be good reason for sus-
pecting its truth, hot withStanding the fact
that defeated commanders are open to
many unjust aspersions. If it be a fact
that English war correspondents with the
Greek army unite in asserting that Con-
stantine skulked in the rear during the
battles around Tyrnavo we shall be inclined
to believe it.
The worst charge Of all against the
Crown Prince is that he added cold-blooded
heartieSSness To cowartlice when he aban-
doned Larissa- 1t is stated that he loaded
a whole railway train with the impedi-
menta, the comforts and luxuries of his
princely headquarters, leaving numbers of
his wounded to fall into the hands of the
Turks If this is true he should have
prompt trial by drum-head court-martial
and be shot in the back One thing seems
10 be certain, and that is, that the Danish
dynasty in Greece must fail if these allie
cations against its heir apparent are sus-
tained.

THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY.
Senatorial Report Which vindieates
the Claims of Mr.. Smithmeyer.

Senator Morrill,, from the Committee ON
Additional Accomm modation for the Library
of Congress, submitted a report yester-
day, on the memorial of Messrs. Smith
meyer and PelZ, antagonistic TO the ser
vices of Gen. Thomas 8. Casey, in connec-

sary antagonism, as to the just and proper
distribution Of credit due the architects

last, for more than ten years, this great

TWO years later Congress became dis
satisfied and repealed the law accepting

Arbitration Day.

1t has been noticed that a strange ard
forces advocating the Cleveland-Salishury
conspiracy against American national aims,
policy, and honor, and the opponents OF
the Monroe doctrine, Hawaiian annexa-
ton, and the freedom of Cuba. The infiu-
enccs struggling for ratification OF the
British arbitration treaty are the sane
which, openly or secretly, are fighting the
other things.
First in the list of powers and potentates
hacking the treaty, we find the great fl
nancial combination of London, repre-
sented by its agencies in Wall street and
the Capitol This element wants the treaty
ratified, because that would ma ke all qucs-
tions of American honor or interest sub
seryient to British authority, which is
welded by the London bankers and capi-
taIists, under the leadership and control
of the house of Rothschild. Owning the
bulk of the Uaited states debt, and expect
ing TO take future bond issues, as Il result
of Dingley tariff legislation, it is vital to
this interest that the claws of the American
eagle should be closely clipped, lest, at
some future time, he might feel Com

to their continued domination in this coun-
try that they shall h ave the active support
and assistance of the London financial
power All unite in opposing the annexa-
ton of the Hawaiian Islands, aud the
reasons of mutual interest which are well
understood
We look for a hard and close fight, while
hoping fos the best That the Anti a lleri-
can party is determined to make supreme
effort TO land the treaty in its present
shape, ought TO be sufficient warning of
its dangers to our country. IL it were
as innocuous as many of its opponents have
beenle led TO believe, 1t would not be regarded
as worth fighting for by the British in
nuences outside and inside OF the Senate
For example, it is understood that the
ninth article Of the treaty, with its cunning
.'servitude" provision, remains unaltered
and in the condition that it came out
from the councils OF the conspirators If
the treaty should be ratified with Article
TX unexcised, we are greatly afraid that
the Monroe doctrine would be circumvented.
In short, therezis not a line of the draft, re-
naming Ii its original condition, that is
not loaded with specifically evil purposes
against the American people.
Ratification of the British arbitration
treaty would be signal triumph, and pos
sihly might involve other satisfaction, for
Grover cleveland and Richard Olney: but
the Senator who votes for it today will
accept a grave responsibility, for the as
sumption OF which ne will have cause for
bitter regret to the day of his death.
