KEW BTAES OX THE XATIOXAli EMBLEM The census inquiries to be addressed to manufacturers are of tbe most searching description. Information is requested by Superintendent Porter as to every minute detail of the business. It is stated that nil answers -will be regarded as strictly con fidential. tPBOM A 6TAJT COBJaESrOirDENT. "WASHT(GT03r, July 3. During the present month over 1,000 special agents of the census office will be appointed for the purpose of gathering the statistics with re gard to the manufactures of the country. This work will be intrusted to none but specially qualified men, and as the manu facturers are themselves greatly interested in this branch of the census, Superintendent Porter is having no difficulty in securing a very high class of service. There is a general schedule for manufact ures, but for all the more important indus tries special schedules have been, with care, prepared. The questions upon which are calculated to bring out the mass of infor mation with regard to cost of production, are labor and wages, and profits, which will be of great value and interest. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. It is, however, to be remarked that the manufacturers are assured that their answers to the questions will be held strictly confidential, and will not be disclosed to any unauthorized person whomsoever. Nor will the data be used by the office as the basis of any system of taxation or license, or in any way to affect adversely the interests of manufacturers, and no publication will be made in the census reports which will disclose the names or the operations of indi vidual establishments. The general schedule prepared for use in collecting the statistics of manufactures consists of 12 questions, as follows: First Name of corporation, firm or Indi yldaaL Jfcnond Date when this establishment com-R-fied operations. --- Third Name of business or kind of goods manufactured. Fourth Capital invested, both owned and borrowed. AHEAP OF QUESTIONS. This question is subdivided so as to ascertain the value of the land, buildings, machinery, tools and implements, constituting tbe plant and estimated at what the works would cost in 1890, if then to be erected, and the raw materials on hand, stock in process and finished products on band, cash en hand, bills receivable, unset tled ledger accounts and sununcs not included In any of the foregoing items, constituting tho live capital, and the average annual allowance since June 1, 1SS0, for depreciation of bull dings and machinery. Fifth Miscellaneous itcms,ineluding amount paid for rent, power and beat; for taxes; for insurance, for repairs, ordinary, ot buildings and machinery, for commissions and expenses of sales department, for interest on cash used in the business, and for all sundries not re ported in any of the foregoing items, o" Sixth labor andwag-es.-.Thls question is for the purpose of ascartaininc the total amount paidin wages during the year and the number of employes of all kinds, together with the wectly rates of wages paid and average number ot hands employed at each rate. Seven Tho kind and varieties of materials used, with cost at the factory using them, including freizht charges. ALL THS DETAILS WANTED. Eighth Tbe kinds,quantities and values of tbe goods manufactured, with amounts received for custom work and repairing. Ninth Months in operation during tho year and whether on full time, or three fourths time only, or half time, or one fourth time, or idle, accounting for tbe entire 12 months. Tenth Number of hours in tbe ordinary day ot labor from May to November and from November to May. Eleventh Power used m manufacturing, with number of boilers, engines, water wheels, turbine wheels, or motors used, as the case maybe. Twelvth If any colored persons have capital invested in tbe establishment, bow many and the amount of capital, the object being to note the progress of the Alrican race. The great industries of the country will not only have the foregoing questions applied to them but also a series specially. prepared for them and adapted to their peculiarities. The special schedule for glass manufacturers is not yet prepared, but in the iron and steel industries there are so fewer than six special schedules adapted to the different branches of the trade. THE SPECIAL SCHEDULES. The first, called special schedule number 18 is for the executive officers and includes merely questions as to the capital invested, the expenses and tbe salaries of the officers or firm members, dumber 18a, is prepared for the blast furnaces and its questions are as to the number of completed blastfurnaces kind of hot blast stoves, the amount of blacks; total daily capacity in tons of pig iron, number and materials used, whether domestic iron ore or foreign fluxing ma terial, anthracite or bituminous coal, coke, charcoal, mill cinder, scrap, etc, .The value of the products is to be stated under the following heads: Cold blast charcoal pig iron, hot or warm blast char coal pig iron, anthracite pig iron, castings produced direct from furnace and spiegel elsen and terro-manganese not included in the above. Special schedule Ko. 18b is for the rolling mills, and inquires as to the number of forge fires, puddling furnaces, heating fur naces, gas producers using coal or oil and the kind of producer, and the number of hammers and trains of rolls, together with the .total daily capacity, double turn, in tons of rolled iron or steel. j NOT A FEATUEE MISSED. e' amount oi materials used n asked PORTER cumous for under the following leads: Iron ore, pig iron, old iron rails, other old or scrap iron, old steel rails and steel rail ends, other old or scrap steel, hammered iron ore blooms, hammered pig or scrap blooms, purchased muck bar, purchased bessemer steel ingots, blooms, billets or slabs, purchased open hearthjsteel ingots, blooms, billets or slabs, purchased crucible Clapp, Griffiths or Eobert bessemer steel, anthracite coal, an thracite culm, bituminous coal, bituminous slack, coke, charcoal, oil and other mate rials.

Special schedule No. 18d refers to cruci ble, blister, German and miscellaneous steel works, and asks the number of cementing furnaces, pot holes, heating and puddling furnaces, trains of rolls, hammers, gas pro ducers, etc Bloomaries and forges are looked after in special schedule No 18e. This branch of the census is being con ducted under the special charge of Dr. William M. Sweet, of Philadelphia, and it is probable that each manufacturer of iron and steel will be sent his schedule by mail, LlGHTNEB. - STARS 0NTHE FLAG. THE PRESIDENT SIGNS THE BILL ADMIT TING IDAHO. Wyoming Will Be Forced to Remain Ont In the Cold a Llitlo Looser There blioald Be 43 Twlnklers on the Banner To-day. Washington, July 3. The Senate amendment to the Wyoming admission bill would have been concurred in to-day by the House had a quorum been present. The point ot no quorum was made, and Mr. Can non, of Illinois, appealed to the House to permit the adoption of the conference report on the District of Columbia appropriation bill and concurrence in the amendment to the Wyoming bill without the point ot no quorum being raised, saving he would move an adjournment immediately thereafter. The House, however, adjourned without action. The Wyoming act was enrolled ready for the signature of the presiding officers, and it was believed that had the House adopted the amendment to-day the President would have approved the act before leaving the city. Delegate Carey, of Wyoming, said this evening that the amendment corcerning the Yellowstone Park had already delayed the admission of Wyoming for a number of days, but the park was the wonderland of the world and would be worth many a World's Fair to the State in tbe next cen tury, and under the circumstances the peo pe'of Wyoming vould patusotlrwait-a few days more for the realization of their great ambition. In signing the bill admitting Idaho to the sisterhood of States this morning the President has appointed a number of people in that State who had hoped that the new State would take up her position in line on the Fourth of July. The President, it seems, found that the law or dained that a new star should be placed upon tbe American flag for each new State on the Fourth of July succeeding its ad mission to the Union. The President left it to Mr. Dubois, the delegate from Idaho, to decide whether to have the bill signed at once and get the star or leave the star over until July 4, 1891. Mr. Dubois chose the star now, and as a result the bill has been signed, and 43 stars are due upon the flag to-morrow. PLANS OF THE SENATE. Republicans Still Undecided as to the Federal Election Bill. rSFECIAL TEJ.EGKA.M TO THE DISPATCH. 3 Washington, July 3. The Kepubli cans of the Senate have not yet come to any determination as to what action shall be had on the Federal election bill. There is not a quorum of tbe Senators in the city, and nothing will be decided until next week. It is understood, however, that Senator Spoouer, of Wisconsin, has been selected to take charge of the bill when it shall arrive from the House and to handle it on the floor should it be taken up for consideration. Mr. Spooner is the youngest, most vigorous and one ot the ablest members of the Committee on Privileges and Elections, and this is probably tbe reason why he is chosen, as it is likely a protracted and wearisome fight would lollow the taking up of the bill. Some of the older Senators, who do not think it wise to pass any Federal election legislation, are advising their colleagues that it would be good policy to get the bill out of committee and take it up formally, even if an adjournment should be had im mediately afterward. It is argued that this would relieve the Kepublicans of the Senate of the charge of abandoning tbe bill, and give them an opportunity to claim that they had done their best to pass it, but were forced to let it go over in the face of the Democratic effort to talk it to death. They will also have the bill as an issue in the coming campaign, which they would not have should it be pigeonholed in committee. A COTTAGE AT CRESSON Tendered President Harrison for the Sum mer, and lbs Offer Accepted. rSPZCIAX, TELBGBAM TO TUB DISPATCH Washington, July 3. The Presidental family has received another gift From Cape May Point there comes a piece of gos sip involving the change of plan by which the President, instead of going to Deer Park, as he expected to ud to a month ago, will spend August at Cresson Springs, on the Pennsylvania railroad. Last year the President and Mrs. Harrison put in a very pleasant summer in a cottage at Deer Park not far from the residence of Hon. Henry G. Davis, of West Virginia, and the family of the latter became very intimate with" the Administration. But owing to the refusal of the President to advance the interests of a Bon-in-law of Davis at the latter's request, the relations of the families have become strained, and Deer Park was not regarded as an eligible site ior summering at this year. These facts were not long in coming to the knowledge of the Pennsylvania Eailroad Company, and accordingly they tendered one of the prettiest cottages at Cresson lor the nse of the President and his iamily this year, and the offer was accepted. A BECOTJNT OEDEEED. Kansas City the First Place to Socuro the Coveted Boon. Washington, July 3. The Superin tendent ot the Census has decided to order a recount of the population in 24 of the enumeration districts in Kansas City, Mo. The action of the Superintendent is based on the recommendation of the local super visor and the Missouri delegation in Con gress. It is alleged that the names of a large number of citizens of the city were not taken in the first enumeration. SCANDALOUSCHARGES - IN CONNECTION WITH UNCLAIMED LAND PATENTS. A Firm of Attorney Which Was Trying: to Squeeze a Million Ont ot the People An Investigation Demanded la the Semite. Washington, Julv3. The subject of tbe bill passed by the Senate yesterday as to the land patents remaining undelivered in the General Land Office and as to the facilities afforded to a firm of Washington attorneys to take a list of them was again brought np to-day by Mr. Berry, who sent to the clerk's desk and had read a letter sent by these attorneys, H. W. Combs & Co., to the clerk ot Columbia county, Ark., offering to supply patents in that county for $4 each (of which fee the clerk was to retain $1). A letter from Win. Stone, Assistant Com missioner of the General Land Office (then acting Commissioner, to this firm extend ing such facilities to it, a letter from Cyrus Bussey, Assistant Secretary of the Interior, certifying to the reputable character of tbe firm, and a dispatch from Yandalia, 111., on the subject, were also read. Mr. Berry said that if any explanation could be given of that transaction or any excuse for that most scandalous conduct on tbe part of those officers he would be glad to hear it. There were 250,000 of these undelivered patents, and this firm would at the low rates mentioned in its letter to the County Clerk of Columbiana county wrench a million of dollars from citizens unjustly and without authority. He under stood that one member ot the firm, Thomas H. McEee, was an officer of the House of Representatives. Messrs. Teller, Paddock and Cockrell participated in the discussion, the former stating that the possession of the patent was not essential to a man's title. Mr. Paddock said that under the present administration of the general land office the number of undelivered patents had been reduced by some 70,000, and Mr. Cockrell denounced the affair as a mere speculating, blackmail ing scheme. TTTK TABUT PEOSEECTS. An Effort to Pass the Senate BUI Insldo of Ten Days. rSrKCIAX. TELEGRAM TO TBS TjrSFATCH.l Washington, July 3. The tariff bill will be called np in the Senate on Monday and passed, if possible, within 10 days. The anti-Sherman wing of the Finance Com mittee have finally got entire control of the bill, and they will not let go of it until the final vote is taken. Senator Aldrich, who left Washingten a week or more ago ior a fishing trip in Canada, was called back by telegraph, and has undertaken the work of preparing the report upon which the Ke publicans will base their argument for the passage- of the bill. Mr. Aldrich is work ing night and day. The ugly mood of some of the Democrats was shown to-day when they forced the House to refuse Mr. Lodge's request to have the election bill printed in the form in which it was passed. Democrats as well as Kepublicans will be anxious to read the terms of tbe bill with which Congress is at tempting to coerce the South, and many members think it rather foolish to prevent the printing of the bill in its completed form. Mr. KcgersLofArkansas'waslond in his objection to Mr. Lodge's motion, proba bly feeling that, by this conrse, he is getting even in a measure with Keed, with whom he has been on bad terms all during the session. Unless Mr. Sogers and those who are acting with him withdraw their opposi tion when tbe House meets next week, Mr. Lodge and his colleagues will be compelled to have the bill printed at their own ex pense. PmBBXTEO AESENAL PAKE. The BUI Providing for tbo Donation Likely to be Passed. IFEOM A STAFF COnRESPOl.DEirT.1 Washington, July 3. The bill grant ing tbe use to the city ot Pittsbnrg for park purposes of that portion of the Arsenal property between Butler street and Penn avenue will probably be reported upon favorably by the Military Committee this week. It will be remembered that Major McKee objected to the bill on ground that the arsenal property would be cut in two, certain buildings would be destroyed and the valuable spring would be thus re moved. To meet these objections a provision was added that in case ot tbe passage of the bill the cltv of Pittsburg should supply the buildings removed and carry the water of the snrinz across Butler street. A petition signed by a large number of the residents of tbe seventeenth ward, ask ing that the property mentioned be donated for nark nurnoses. has been introduced bv Congressman Dalzcll, and referred to tbe Committee on .Military Anairs. CROSSING THE B0EDEE. An Agreement ns to Chasing Bad Indians Arranged Wltb Mexico. Washington, July 3. An agreement has been entered into by Secretary Blaine and Mr. Komero, the Mexican Minister, providing for the reciprocal crossing of the international boundary line by the troops of the United States and the Bepubiic of Mexico, when in close pursuit of hostile Indians. Under this agreement it is provided that no Indian scouts of the United States shall be allowed to cross the boundary line unless they go as guides and trailers, unarmed and not ex ceeding in any case two scouts for each com pany or each separate command,. The reciprocal crossing agreed npon shall only occur in the unpopulated or desert parts of said boundary line. For the pur poses of this agreement the unpopulated or desert parts are defined to be all those points which are at least ten kilometers distant from any encampment or town of either country. CELEBRATING AT CAPE MAY. o Harrison and Halford Go Off on a Little Fonrth of Jaly Party. Washington, Julv 3. The President left Washington for Cape May this after noon after having been informed that the legislative appropriation bill would not be readv for his action until next week, the House having adjourned before It had been enrolled. He was accompanied by Private Secre tary Halford, and expects to return to Washington next Tuesday. GETTING TOGETHER. The Sliver Conferees May Reach an Agree ment Early Next Week. Washington, July 3. The Repub lican conferees on the silver bill were to gether for a couple of hours this afternoon, and it ii said made some progress toward an agreement. The opinion was expressed after they separated that they would reach a satisfactory basis early next week, an agreement as early as the meeting on Satur day not being anticipated, although it is among the possibilities.

Dallas Sanders says that the nominee will get the full party vote. Wharton Barker enaeavors to show that the defeat of Delamater would help the Kepublican party. IPFECtAI. TELEOKAM TO THE DISPATCn.1 Philadelphia, July 3. The delegates and visitors to the Democratic State Con vention at Scranton, came home to-day pretty well tired out It had been a fierce battle and there was not much time for rest while the fighting was going on. Still, all hands seemed to be satisfied with the results reached, and there was but here and there any signs of discontent. Ex-Governor Pattison, State Chairman William F. Harrity, William M. Sineerly and William S. Stenger reached the city early in the morning and went to their sev eral places of business. Mr. Pattison was greeted UDon his arrival at the Chestnut Street National Bank with a floral horse shoe, the gift of the clerks. William A. Wallace, Jr., son of Mr. Pattison's oppo nent before the convention, arrived at the Girard House this evening. HEAETT SUPPORT FKOM "WALLACE. "My father," he said, "has gone to New York, and I expect him to be here to-morrow. As to the convention all I can say is that we are beaten. I am sorry for it but we shall heartily support the ticket as made. We are Democrats." If ex-Senator Wallace had been the nom inee, John E. Faunce, of the Seventeenth ward, wonld have been the candidate for Lieutenant Governor. He said this after noon. "I favored ex-Senator Wallace's nomination because I believed that his won derful power of organization would have brought the party into such a condition that even if we tailed to win the Governor we Should have unquestionably captured the Legislature. The convention did not agree with me and I shall bow to the result and do all I can to help re-elect Mr. Patti son." Ex-State Chairman Dallas Sanders, an ardent Wallace supporter, had this to say: "It is all nonsense to talk abont Governor Pattison losinir Democratic votes. He will get tbe full party vote. The canvass willv show what Republican Help be will get. WHAETON BARKER'S POSITION. Wharton Barker was particularly jubilant over Mr. Pattison's nomination. "I am pleased over it," he said. "What more can I say? I shall vote for Pattison as a Ke publican. Eemeniber, as a Kepublican, not as a Democrat. And I believe he will be elected. Why, this morning when I came in on the train I met men from out around Jenkintown, men that I would take for Delamater Kepublicans, who said they were going to vote lor Pattison. They are men that I would never have a suspicion of as voting for anyone but Delamater. It shows the current of sentiment It is the Quay issue and nothing else. It shows what men of independent views think about it. "I have no doubt there will be an inde pendent movement. Whatever movement is formed will naturally take its origin in this city, but I can tell nothing about it yet." Ex-Mayor Samuel G. King remarked: "I am very well pleased with the ticket, and it is the strongest that could possibly have been named. We have a good chance of winning. The action of Congress in the election bill will furnish a strong battle cry ior the party against such legislation which tends to further centralization and the American system of government." Wharton 'Barker, in his paper, The Amer ican, pnblisbed to-day, has this to say of the result of the Scranton Convention. OPPORTUNITY FOE BEPUBLICANS. J The nomination of Governor Pattison makes the opportunity for tho self-respecting Repub licans of Pennsylvania to effectively express their discontent with tbe sbameful control which now drags down tbeir party. Certainly, Governor Pattison is a Democrat, but he is an upright and honorable citizen and in his rela tion to those affairs with which he will have to deal when he shall again be elected tbe affairs of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, ho re presents closely tbe principles which tbe mass of tbe Republican citizens of tbe State bold. He represents tbe demand of the people for the emancipation of State affairs from corpora tion control and from those evil and audacious influences which habitually misuse the func tions of the Legislature. In both tbese partic ulars he is an absolute contrast to tbe candi date whom Mr. Quay has named. Mr. Dela mater is in close partnership with corporate power and corporate schemes, and be has proved himself by his course in tbe Legislature, tbe willing, prompt and capable agent of tbe underhand control which Mr. Quay exercises there. It is. therefore, trne that the interests ot the Republican party In Pennsylvania, as In tbe nation, lie in the emphatic and conclusive de feat of Mr. Quay and his candidate. Nothing can be so wholesome and so useful as a clear ing of tbe political atmosphere in this off year. It was proved in 18S2 that tbe party rose strotfer and more vigorous after tbe rebuke to bossism, and in 1883 re-established itself without a serious effort. Governor Pattison in 1SS2 had 40.000 more votes than General Beaver.yet in 188 Mr. Blaine swept the State by 81,000 majority. Let no Republican be misled on this subject. Ko duty of party any more than of citizenship demands of him tbe sacri fice of his self-respect In this election. He will be serving Republican principles by testi fying his condemnation of public malfeasance and chicanery, and be will be serving hts party by ridding it of a corrupt and selfish control. He will make tbe future success of the Repub lican organization more suro and more worthy by his vote to defeat Mr. George W. Delamater thus to eliminate from the party management elements which drag it down both in morals and in numbers. ONE OP TEE BOLTERS OF 1882 Thinks That Delamater Will Get the Usual Republican Majority. SPECIAL TELEOttAM TO THE DISPATCH. Erie, July 3. The Democracy here is intensely enthusiastic over the nomination of ex-Governor Pattison, lor Governor on the Democratic ticket. There was a deep feeling against Wallace here, particularly among the Scott element. Hon. J. F. Downing, who was a Stewart man when Pattison was elected over Beaver, said to-day: "There is no such division in the Republican party as there was when Pattison was elected Governor. Delamater will be elected by the usual Kepublican ma jority. Democrats are relying on tbe Farm ers' Alliance and the miners to help tbem out. Pattison is very popular with the Erie county farmer."

The Democrats of this place, and in fact the whole connty, are jubilant over the nomination of Patti son for Governor. The boom for Pattison is already en, A prominent Kepublican named Sailor to-day announced his inten tion of supporting Pattison, Blaok and Barclay. It will cause a sensation here when it be comes known. The Kepublicans here all say that the Democratic ticket is a good one, and will be a hard one to down. DEADLOCKJBROKEN. MAJOR M'DOWELL, OF MERCEB, NOMI NATED FOR C0NQRE8S. Townsend, the Present Representative and Qany's Candidate, Left Ont la tho Cold Throe of tbe BeaTer Conoty Delegates Aided In nis Defoat. rsrECIAL TELIQEAM TO TUB DISPATCn.1 Newcastle, July 3. Major Alexander McDowell, of Sharon, Mercer county, was nominated as the candidate of the Twenty fifth Congressional district, comprising the "counties of Mercer, Beaver, Butler and Lawrence. The nomination was made at 3 o'clock this afternoon on the one hundred and ninety-fifth ballot, Lawrence county gave McDowelL 14 votes, Mercer gave him 15 votes and Beaver gave him 3 votes, mak ing in all 32 votes. Three of the Beaver county delegates deserted Townsend, while Lawrence county, which at all times had control of the nomination, gave 14 of the 15 votes for McDowell. This was done under the directions of Jackson, so that Lawrence county men really made the nomination. Major Alexander McDowell, the nomi nee, was born in Venango county, this State, and is 45 yerrs of age. He was the editor of the Franklin Citizen for eight years, and came to Mercer county in 1870. He Is now the President of the McDowell Savings Bank. He was a member of tbe One Hun dred and Twenty-first Kegiment, Pennsyl vania Volunteers and is one of the most popular men in the district. Alter the nomination he made a neat speech, which was loudly applauded. The Citizens' Cornet Band escorted the Meroer delegation, and Major McDowell to the train for Sharon. His nomination is gratilying to Lawrence county, and will prove satislactory to either district. The delegates from Beaver county who voted for McDowell were: Messrs. Tate, Shaffer and Downey. The Beaver county delegation was completely de moralized at the desertion of Messrs. Shallenbefger and Keed, who had charge of that delegation, and had confidence in the nomination of Mr. Townsend up to the time that the announcement of the nomina tion of McDowell was made. Townsend was the recognized candidate of Quay. Jckson came very near to making the nomination several times, bnt his determi nation to beat Townsend at all hazards, on account of the way Townsend was nomi nated two years ago, prevented him from makiug as much effort ior himself as he otherwise could have done. AMONG THE LEPEES. Sister Rose Gertrude Writes of Her Dismal Life at Honolulu. rSFECIAI. TZLEOBAK TO THE DISPATCH. I New Yobk, July 3 Sister Kose Ger trude, who has devoted herself to work among the lepers of the Sandwich Islands, is still at Kilihi, the reception hospital re cently established by the Government near Honolulu, and it is probable that she will remain there for some time, if not per manently. It is to this hospital that persons suspected of leprosy are examined before being sent to die at Molokal, the leper island. They remain at the hospital some times for six months and frequently die r'here. Sister Rose Gertrude is the only white nurse at that place, and is the prin cipal assistant of the doctor in charge. Her only help is that of unskilled natives, and she is said to be very much overtaxed. She writes to her Brooklyn friends that, although not on the leper island itself, she is experiencing to the full the horrors which she foresaw Two persons had already died in her arms of the dreadful disease. She says that she has received the most gen erous reception from all whom she has met, ond that the doctor in charge of the receiving hospital is so pleased with her work that he insists that she shall re main there at any rate until the Govern ment is able to furnish someone to supply her place. In company with the Govern ment Board of Physicians she has visited Molokai, spending several days there. Tbe arrangements there for the care of the lepers and tbe physicians and nurses are said to be much better now than at the reception hospital. ALL CAUSED BY BEES.

Henry Angle miller, a well-known farmer of near Mer sersburg, stopped his mowing machine near his home this morning and went into the house for some articles.

Mrs. George Miller, sister of Anglemiller, tried to check the horses, but was thrown in front of the mowing knives. Both of her legs were cut off between the knee and ankle, and she will die. Angle miller went to the rescue of his sister, but was thrown under the machine and dan gerously injured. DINED AND WINED. Tho Amerlcnu Shooting Corps Receive a Royal Welcome In Berlin.

The Striking Cloakmafcers of New York, Driven by Destitution AKD PITEOUS APPEALS FOR FOOD From Their Wive3 and Children, Make a Desperate assault Upon SCABS WHO HAD TAKEN THEIR PLACES. A Blot Ensues, In Which One Man Is Shot and a Hun ter Serionslj Injured. The cloakmakers of New York, who have been on strike for a long time, and are in a destitnte condition, make several attacks upon the men who had tacen their places. Several arrests have been made. New Yoke, July 3. The striking cloak makers rendered desperate by tbe cries of wives and children for bread, assembled on Broadway early this morning and assaulted a number of the men who bad taken their places. There are many pitiful stories of want and despair caused by the strike and the violent temper of the striking mob, made up of men who are usually peaceful citizens, only goes to show that they are in desperate straits. Not a few re ceived dispossess-notices early and were turned out into the street like sheep. Last night was cold and cheerless with rain com ing down intermittently. Last night, if you had walked along Orchard, Eldridge, Stan ton or Forsyth streets, you would have seen sights that you could not have torgotten to save yourselves. There were whole families who were homeless and hungry. They had no place to go and nothing to eat and the few friends they have are as poor as them selves. Mothers with suckling babes and fathers with their sons were glad to find a covered wagon into which they might crawl out of the damp and lie down for a few hours. It was a haven of refuge and gladly taken for the scant shelter it afforded. They are somewhere to-day in hallways, or perhaps crowding into the rooms of friends, whose turn has yet to come. They are all in a bad way, and the prospect is as discouraging as the peasants of Ireland ever found, IN A DESrEKATE MOOD. In view of all this it can easily be seen why, early this morning, in all the drizz ling, penetrating rain, the fathers and sons and brothers, most of whom had been up all night, went over to their old workshops with a desperate resolve. "A man," said one of the strikers, "can suffer and stand it, but when he is com pelled to see his children go hungry he for gets everything and hears nothing but their cries." So they massed this morning and went over toMeyer, Jonasson & Co.'s place, at 358 Broadway, and the Mercantile Cloak Company, at 391 Broadway. It was their intention to dissuade the scab workmen from entering. They wanted to go to work themselves, and when they got to Broad way they gathered around the shops and fell to talking the whole thing over. Perhaps the reasons they went to these two places was that they are the largest es tablishm ents in the city and are at the head of the Employers' Protective Society. As they stood around they were a wretched look ing lot, unkempt and unshaven and damp with the falling rain. The first inkling of real trouble came when Joseph Learburger, a buyer, who is in the employ of Meyer, Jonasson & Co., walked briskly down the street. He had reached the corner of White street when the strikers, suddenly transformed into a mob, BUSHED FOE HIM WITH A EOAE. It was like the swell of a heavy tide from which there was no esoape. The young man turned to run, and he found himself in the arms of half a dozen men, who were be hind him, and he heard shoutB and curses. A dozen ready fists shot ont, and he was bufteted about like a cork in the ocean surf. When he finally managed to break away through a chance opening he ran for tbe railroad ticket office on the corner of White street and Broadway, and he did not feel that he was safe until he had slammed the big, heavy door behind him. He said he had been nit wtth clubs and sandbags. The success of the attack upon their first victim seemed to turn the usually peaceful men into a body of rioters ready for any thing. They ran down to Jonasson's store. The front doors were open and the office boy, Charlie Buttner, was standing inside. A few of the bolder stepped in and seized him, and in a second he was receiving the same kind of a shower of blows which fell upon Leerburger. Tne boy cursed him in Hebrew. He wriggled and struggled until he became free and then he ran. Then they found William Wisner coming to his work. He is an- operator at Meyer, Jonasson & Co.'s shop. They tried to dis suade him from going to work, but he re fused to arbitrate, and volleys of angry Hebrew imprecations were fired back and forth, until at length someone in the crowd struck at Wisner, and he had pluck enough to strike back. That was , enough. The crowd closed in around him, and he was knocked down and jumped noon. His scalp was cut open in several places. When he was rescued from the crowd he was taken down to the Chambers Street Hospital and his cuts were dressed. ANOTHEB SCAB FOUNDED. Joseph Kodelheimer, a picker, was next attacked and bruised about the head and body, and Bookkeeper Kobert Simmii, aged 19 years, was chased into the Btore alter he had had his scalp opened. No sooner had tbe strikers finished with him than two Italians who were employed upstairs came along. One of the strikers identified them as men who had taken their places and it needed but a word to start the crowd on a run toward them. Broadway was almost blockaded by this time, and tbe opposite sidewalk was lined with spectators. They were expecting a tragedy, and they came very near seeing one. An Italian is not a good man to attack, even under ordinary circumstances. He is too apt to produce at a critical moment some unnsual and deadly weapon whioh no brave man would care to face. These two Italians were exactly like many others of their race, and they were prepared for what was coming. When the strikers were about 20 feet away one of them gave his vest a little hitch upward, drove his right hand down into his red sash and unsheathed a long, slender stiletto, which glistened in a pecu liarly unpleasant fashion in the gloom of the morning. The other man reached oare- , fully around behind him and pulled out from some mysterious pocket a big revolver. That settled the business. The strikers halted a moment and consulted in their jargon; then as one man, they turned and fled precipitately. The two Italians with their weapons still exposed, walked along till they came to the hail entrance of Jonas sou's place. Then they went upstairs to their work. KICKED AND FOUNDED TUEIE MEN. In the meantime a spectator had dashed around to the Elizabeth street station bouse and told the sergeant at the desk how the strikers were rioting and killing people on Broadway. The result was that a platoon were sent around on a double-quick to the scene of the trouble. Before they reached their destination the mob had gathered up a cloakmaker of the name of Kunze. Kunze did not get away so easily as the other men. He was surrounded on the corner of White street. The spectators saw the mob rush npon lum. There was a con fused sound of voices and a rushing and heaving from the black mass. When the police came rushing down the street the strikers scattered, but they left Kunze on the sidewalk bleeding from halt a dozen severe cuts in his head. Tbey must have kicked him when he went down. His in juries are very serious. All this time another detachment of the strikers had been busy two blocks below. They were men who had been in the em ploy of the Mercantile CJoak Company, at 394 Broadway, and they gathered there just as they did in front ot Meyer, Jonasson & uo. s, ana waited for tbe scabs tocomeaiong. They were rewarded just beiore 6 o'cIocK, when thev surrounded two men, struck them half a dozen times and then chased them np stairs. When the members oi the firm realized that they were going to have trouble, they sent for police protection. When the colice had driven the crowd away from Meyer, Jonasson & Co.'s, young Mr. Leerburger came out of the railroad office. His clothing was all twisted around and he looked as if he had been rolled down a steep hill. He had THREE CUT3 IN HIS HEAD. While all this was going on, an angry mob of striking cloakmakers collected at the corner of Kivington and Eldridge streets, determined to either obtain work or prevent the bosses from employing non union workers. Samnel Villet's place is at 192 Eldridge street. Villet did not like the looks of things and accordingly he had locked and barred his door. About 11.30, when the crowd was the largest, Villet and his employes were startled by a crash. The strikers bad broken open his door, and a mob of about 30 men, led by Abraham Koseuberg, rushed in npon him. They demanded that all hands stop work, and, meeting with no success, began to threateu and intimidate Villet and his workmen. Some of tbe strikers bran dished knives in order to make their threats the more fearfnl. They slashed and cut np and threw out the windows the plush cloaks being made. Two sharp pistol shots rang out upon the air and the crowd that had rushed pell mell into Villet's shop, staggered back on the street panic-stricken. Villet had become terrorized, aud after hav ing received an ngly slash across his right eye with a knife, inflicted by an unknown striker, he whipped out a revolver and fired two shots. One of the ballets lodged in the back of Abraham Kosenbertr, and with a shriek he staggered out on the street. At this moment the police arrived and arrested everyone believed to be connected with the affair. They captuted Villet and 18 other persons. Kosenberg was removed to Gouverneur Hospital, where he lies in a precarious condition. A FEMININE F0EGEE. Arrested on n Charge of Fabricating a Note for 85,000. rBPCTAI.TXI.XOBAJI TO THE DISPATCH.' New YoBK,JnIy 3. Detective Sergeants Heidelberg and Dolan waited at the Grand Central Station for the 5:30 express from Boston. When it arrived they picked ont from tbe passengers a tall, black eyed, black-haired woman, who wore a summer traveling dress and a black straw hat She responded when they addressed her es Miss Nellie Clark, oi Providence, and was not even surprised when 'she was informed that she was nnder arrest on a charge ot obtaining 5,000 on a forged note. Miss Clark was taken before Inspector Byrnes, who showed her a telegram from Providence calling for her arrest. She confessed that she, had taken the money, 3,500 of which she handed over to the inspector. Miss Clark is about 35 years old, and has resided with her parents, at Providence. She said that she had been hard pressed for money, and about three months ago bor rowed $3,500, giving her note for tbe amount. She spent the money on a visit in tbe South. The note was nearly due, and not knowing how to meet it she forged the name of James W. Tourtellot, who is an intimate friend of her family. On July 1 she went to the Mechanics' Savings Bank, and was in troduced to the paying teller, William Knight, by one of the directors. She then presented the note and the teller paid over $5,000 to her. When Mr. Tourtellot heard of the case he declared that he had no out standing notes, and when he saw the instru ment pronounced it a forgery. PAINT TO MATTE FINGERS NIMBLE.

Stanley, an Ann Arbor musician, read an essay, in which he deplored a Puri tanical taste in church music, and argued for better class of music. He thought the prospects brighter than they ever had been, bnt said that the tendency was too much in the opposite direotion, and some organists played tbe most trivial secular music to the degradation of the profession. He wasmuch in favor of elevating the class of music. His theory met hearty applause. His essay was referred to the committee. The evening concert to-night, despite the hot weather, filled the largest building in Detroit. EEMMLEB SENTENCED AGAIN, For the Third Time tbs DIurilorer Hears tbe Fatal Words. Buffalo, July 3.

A Way to Lift a Yery Heavy Tax Off the Finest of Them All. TAB FIEEJIEVS FUXD W0EEISG WELL Chief Brown has a new bill under way to ' provide sick and death benefits for police men disabled while in the discharge of their duty, and to furnish nniforms for the men out of public funds. Ho says some such, measure is a necessity. Chief J. O. Brown, of the Department of Public Safety was. yesterday, preparing the ontlinesof a measure for the benefit of police officers, which is to be introdnced into the Legislature at its coming session. Mr. Brown had a similar measnre before the last Legislature, and it passed both Houses easily, but was vetoed by Governor Beaver, who was then figuring on extinguishug ths State debt. The scope of the new bill will be greater than that of the one vetoed. He will not only provide for sick and death benefits, bnt also for the renewal of uniforms when destroyed on dnty, and possibly will relieve the officers entirely of the heavy tax of furnishing their own uniforms. The cost or a police officer's outfit complete, for summer and winter wear, amonnU to about 8123. which be pays for out of his salary, and which he must replace when worn out or destroyed in a scuffle with a law-breaker. A necessary measuee. Chief Brown, in speaking of the matter yesterday, said: ''Some such measure ia absolutely necessary. It is only just to the men, and it will greatly increase the efficiency of the force. Generous provisions have been made for the firemen, but while the latter occasionally incnr extraordinary danger, the police officer is always in peril. The toughs and criminals will seize every opportunity to maltreat or even kill a policeman, who is expected to shrink from no danger, but to attack single-handed a dozen criminals, well knowing that he will get the worst of it unless assistance arrives qnickly. When an officer finds himself in this position he will naturally hesitate when he thinks that if he is injured and unable to go on duty his salary will stop, and if his clothes are torn they must be re placed and tbe cost deducted from his pay. This ia especially true in the case of a married officer, who thus finds himself between love and duty. If he is injured or killed, or if even his clothes are torn, his wife and little one must aufler deprivations. If an officer is disabled in the execution of his duty his salary may be continued ior a short time, but that's all. If he is killed or dies a natural death it has become a custom for tho force to contribute ?2 a piece, which amounts to between 500 and 8600 for the relief of the family. This is not right. AS Iif OTHEE CITIES. "Our officers should be taken care of as they are in New York, Boston, Chicago and other cities. It would cost the city little or nothing. The bill presented to the last Legislature, like the one now being pre pared, will ask that a portion of the fines for illegal liquor selling, the dog tax, etc.. be turned into a benefit fund for the police. This would make the officers more vigilant, and might increase instead of decreasing the revenue of the city." Assistant Superintendent O'Meara and Inspector McAleese both spoke strongly of the justice and necessity of such a measure. Firemen are much better off. Several years ago a burning building in the heart ot the city collapsed, carrying down with it eight or ten firemen. Among these was Nelson Wood, foreman of No. 7, who had been a member of tbe department since it was organized, having previously served in the volunteer department. Wood was killed and his family left unprovided for. The citizens, however, raised over 53,000 or Wood's family. This attracted attention to the fact that there was no provision for the relief of disabled firemen or their families, and in 1885 Mr. Ford drew np a measure creating a disability fund to be operated by a commission, which now consists of the Mayor, Controller and the Chlels of the De partments of Public Safety, Worki and Charities, with Captain Crosby Gray as Secretary. HOW" THE PLA2T WOBKS. Thirty dollars a year is deducted from the pay of each member of the Fire Depart ment, aud is turned into the disability fnnd. If a fireman is injured he receives 515 a week until he recovers or until the expira tion of six months. In addition to this his regular salary continues for three months, and if he is still sick Councils is usually asked to continue his salary, and generally grants the request. If the man is per manently disabled or killed, the fund pays $1,000 to him or bis heirs, while the mem bers of the department make a voluntary contribution of $3 each, amounting to 600. When the disability fund project was first broached their was considerable objection raised by the members of tbe department, but Inspector McAleese, who is an old fire man himself, say3 the boya now see its benefit. 6T0PPED W0EK UNEXPECTEDLY. Freight-Handlers nt Cincinnati Demand am Increase in Wages CrscnrerAXi, July 3. The freight-handlers on all the roads here except the Louis ville and Nashville have stopped work be cause their demand for an increase in wages was not immediately granted. The railroad managers wanted the men to continue at work until Saturday and receive their an swer then, but the men quit this afternoon and no freight has been received since 2 o'clock. The demand is for ten hours a day and that those now receiving $1 35 shouljl be paid $1 60 per day, and those receiving 81 45 should receive ?1 75. There are abont COO men involved. The effect is a paralysis, except so far at one road and the express companies can give relief. There is a general impression that the demand will be granted or at least some advance in wages allowed. Left for Ilohrlne Sea. Port Towssesd, Wash., July 3.
