EUROPE SCARED
BUT NOT HURT,
May Day Passes Airay "With
out a Single Arrest in
Volatile Paris, and
THE OLD VORLD PEACEFUL
The Biggest Labor Demonstration
Ever Seen in London.
Paris Nerves Quieted by the Presence

Provinces A Black Bag Filled "With

French Socialist Says It Won't Be
So Peaceful Next Tear Sunday
Quietude.
London, May 1. The expected and
long prepared for labor demonstrations
were held to-day in most of the large cities
of the Continent and various manufacturing
and mining districts. In many places the
authorities had forbidden the holding of
processions, and the workingmen observed
the holiday by taking their families to
suburban resorts and passing the day in a
quiet manner.
In -view of the many outrages perpetrated
by Anarchists during the past few months,
and the many threats that have been made
to mate the day memorable for its disor
ders, the authorities in all the Continental
cities adopted the most stringent precau
tions to prevent or suppress any outbreak.
Every city has its contingent of Socialists
and Anarchists, and Slay Day was the ap
pointed time at which they were to show
themselves in force and give proof of their
power.
A Harmles Day of Demonstration.
Thus far, advices received here sh o w that
in most places the day passed harmlessly, if
not quietly. There were assemblies of
workmen, W here speeches of somewhat in
flammable character were made, but the
police were generally on the alert, and good
order, if it was not absolutely preserved,
was very easily restored when breaches of
the peace did occur.
A black bag was found to-day in a
secluded street beside the Woolwich arsenal.
It contained a quantity of gun cotton, dyna
mite and gunpowder. In it was also found
a belt filled with cartridges and several
documents written in a foreign language,
signed by a person whom the police are now
tracking. The police refuse to divulge the
name of this individual Xo fuse was at
tached to the explosives, and it does not
appear that any attempt was made to cause
an explosion. The bag was taken to an
isolated magazine on the Woolwich marshes.
The Monster Hyde Parle Meeting.
The day was observed here in a very quiet
manner. A large procession formed on the
Thames embankment and marched to Hyde
Park, where monster meetings were held.
A large crowd of speakers addressed the
crowd, including Cunningham E. Graham,
the Socialist member of the House of Com
mons, Tom Mann and Ben Tillot. the labor
leaders, and Stepniak, the Russian Xihilist.
Resolutions were adopted declaring in fa
vor of an eight-hour day and calling upon
Parliament to pass an eight-hour bill.
There was no disturbance.
The meeting was the largest demonstra
tion of workingmen ever organized in this
city. The men began to assemble on the
Thames embankment at 10 o'clock in the
morning. Each contingent was headed by
a baud of music, and every band of paraders
carried banners, while the men themselves
were bedecked with rosettes and favors.
Altogether, the procession made a bright
spectacle, and the applause was frequent as
the toilers marched along in perfect order
and with almost military precision.
No Disorder in the London Meetings.
An idea may be given of the magnitude
of the demonstration when it is stated that
the procession occupied nearly three hours
in entering Hyde Park. The number of
persons who took part is variously esti
mated at from 300,000 to 500,000. The
speeches made and the proceedings gener
ally were in accordance with the pro
gramme. A large force of mounted and foot
police and a contingent of the St. John's
Ambulance Association were present. The
assemblage dispersed quietly.
The Woman's Trades Union passed a
resolution in favor of co-operation to secure
fewer working hours. Demonstrations were
held in Dublin, Manchester, Glasgow, and
most of fihe large towns of Great Britain
and Ireland. They were modeled after the
Hyde Park meeting, but on a smaller scale.
They were attended with no disturbance.
PARIS IS PEACEFUL.
Some Rabid TJtteranceit at a Small Meeting,
but Not a Mnglo Arrest Made Military
Hare Nothing to Do One or Two Small
Explosions.
Paris, May 1. May Day was ushered in
with the police on the qui vive and strongly
enforced garrisons ready for instant service.
At C o'clock this morning the city wore its
usual aspect, and the police expected the
day to pass quietly, except for scuffles.
Hitherto, on May Day, it has been cus
tomary for the workingmen to march to the
Chamber of Deputies and present petitions.
Delegates were also sent to the Hotel de
Ville for the same purpose. This year,
however, the day falling on Sunday, the
workingmen were debarred from following
the usual custom.
At an early hour the processionists began
to form for their march in the Salle Favie.
Instead of 10,000 men taking part in the
Sallo Faivc demonstration, as was expected,
there were oniy 3,000 present. A man named
Cullne, who was imprisoned last year for
taking part in the rioting last May Day at
Fourmles, as chosen President. A number
of speeches w ere made.
Loot Oat for Violence Next Tear.
SI. Vaillant delivered a harangue, fn the
course of which he declared that thiB was
the last lime the claims of the workingmen
would be urge's in this form. The working
men intend this year, he said, to deliver an
ultimatum to the Government on the ques
tion or an eight-hour day. If thisultimatum
did not result Buccessfully.they would resort
to more energetic measures to secure the
granting of their demands.
The Salle Favie meeting proved the weak
. ..-;-, "--... --', -, I , - -w -i. i ; ---"
ness, rather than the strength and audacity,
of the turbulent party. Valllant's remarks
provoked strong dissent from Basly, who
denounced the policy of violence as calcu
lated to impress foreign neighbor w ith th e
idea that France was a hotbed of des
peradoes. Ho said that he .would never
counsel the multitude to commit acts that
would entail measures or repression. He
was an adherent of the revolution, but an
enemy of the communistic acts recently
perpetrated in Paris. The meetinir ap
plauded Basly's sentiment and rerused to
listen to the Marquis de Mores.
Tho usual resolutions were carried and the
meeting dispersed in an orderly manner,
singing the "Carmagnole" and shouting
"Vive la Revolution Soclale."
In the suburbs of the city.whero the polico
are less numerous, the disorderly eloment
was doomed more likely to make trouble,
but troops aro held in readiness at the
various barracks, the cavalry horses sad
dled and bridled, to bo dispatched to what
everpoint thoy may be summoned.
The Anarchists Not Altogether Idle.
The first autbenic report of a May Day
dynamite outrage was received at 2 p. m.
from Tours, in the Department oflndroet
Loire. Early this morning a bomb ex
ploded near the Gulso barracks. Tho noise
of the explosion was terrific, and for a timo
it was thought that Anarchists had at
tempted to blow up the National Powder
Works, which are situated near Tours.
Tho populace of the city wore greatly
alarmed until it was definitely known that
this was not the case.
Soldiers from tho barracks ran to tho spot
where the explosion had occurred and foumd
a man lying senseless in a pool of blood. One
of his hands had been blown off. and ho was
otherwise badly injured. Ne doubt is entor
tained that ho is the victim of his own
crime. He was taken to a hospital under
arrest, and at last reports had not regained
consciousness.
Up to 10 o'clock to-night Paris has been
periectlr quiet. Thus far the streets havo
not even presented the bustle that is uuul
on a Sunday, many persons,fearlng conflicts
between the police and workingmen, pass
ing the day at home. There Is no display or
police or soldier-, but every one knows that
the authorities are readv to nut down with a
strong hand any attempt at disorder that
may arise. Everything is quiet in the sub
urbs, and at the Prefecture of Police the offi
cials are congratulating themselves that
thus far there has been no trouble worthy of
mention.
The PetU Journal says an unknown man
placed an iron pot filled with powder and
scrap Iron in a china shop on the Boulevard
Voltaiie. He was seen and compelled to de
camp before he was able to Unite the fuse
attached to his impromptu bomb.
Just as Quiet In the Provinces.
The reports thus far received from tho
provinces are reassuring. It was fearoa
Fourmles would to-day be the scene of fur
ther troubles with the workingmen, who
would seek to avenge the death of their
comrades lastyear. Theie was, however, no
trouble. The Socallsts, of whom there are
very many in the town, held a monster
meeting, but everything was far more quiet
than was anticipated.
The presence of the Prince of Wales In
this city to-day had a great effect In allay
ing the anxiety. The Prince has expressed
a desire to remain quiet, but when it was
represented to him that the knowledge of
his presence in the city would have a benefi
cial effect, he willingly assented to let him
self be seen in public He paid a visit to
President Carnot, who later returned tho
visit. The Prince and Princess of Wales
start for London to-morrow. Parisians are
charmed at the confidence displayed here at
so critical a moment.
Lord Dufferin, the British Ambassador, to
day saunteied In the Champs Elveees, chat
ting with the Secretary of Legation. Alto
gether tho city shows little evidence that
alarm might Justifiably be felt. Only a few
more shops than usual were closed. The
stiong force of police and military held In
readiness were prudently keDt out of sight.
The crowd of sight-seers that collected in
tho Place do la Concorde this afternoon was
easily dispersed. In view of the quiet pre
vailing tho Minister of the Interior has re
moved the fntei diction of public balls and
concerts for to-night.
Not a Single Arrest Made In Paris.
M. Loze, Prefect of Police, visited General
Saussier at 9 o'clock to-night aud stated that
he saw no necessity for the further reten
tion of the military, as the -Republican
Gnard and the police would suffice to pre
serve order. M. Loze also visited President
Carnot and informed him that not a single
arrest had been made.
According to telegrams from the provinces
the municipal elections appear to absorb
most of the attention of the provincial pub
lic Many towns are en fete. The polling
proceeds quietly. The police of Lyons re
moved a number of inflanimatorv placards
posted in the city, and found cartridges in
the police station and in the Town Hall. No
damage was done. A dispatch lrom Toulon
states that the police of that citv to-day ar
rested five militant Anarchists. No dis
turbances have occurred at Toulon.
A dispatch has been received tt om Char
tres, capital of the Department of Eme-et-Loir,
stating that a panic, was caused among
the people who attended the services at the
Cathedral there to-day by an explosion that
occurred in the nave of tho building. For a
time It was thought that it was an Anarchist
attempt to blow up the Cathedral, but the
confusion was abated when it was found
that the noise was caused by the explosion
of a squib that had been placed in the nave
by a mischievous urchin.
A RAID ON RED FLAGS.
Fighting Bulls Don't Hate the Emblem
More Than the Chicago Police A Fatrol
Wajon Filled With Sanguinary Standard
Bearers The Spectators Cheer.
Chicago, May 1. A highly sensational
incident occurred in the May Day celebra
tion here to-day, in the seizure of three
sanguinary emblems carried by three
paraders in the immense procession which
was the feature of to-day's celebration. The
police officials had issued strict orders for
the regulation of the demonstration, among
which was no Anarchist flag would be per
mitted. At the head of the two dozen men
from the Arbeitcr Zeittmg office a flaming red
rag was carried. Another little bunch of
reds, known as Debating Clubs 2fos. 1 and
2. carried flags which were so rod that they
drew the disapproval of Superintendent
Hubbard.
A the procession approached Madison
street, on Clark, Captain Shea and a dozen
Central station detectives forced their way
through the immense crowds that lined the
streets, and, accompanied by a dozen officers
in uniform, took positions at the corner of
Madison and Clark streets. As tho debating
clubs came up with their fiery flags, tho
officers broke into the ranks nnd seized the
men carrying the forbidden flags. Tho pris
oners were unceremoniously hurried into a
waiting patrol wagon, the crowd cheering
wildly.
A few minutes later the Arbeiler Zrilung
employes leached the corner. Tho officers
quickiv seized the bearer of the red banner.
He made a little show of resistance, but was
quickly and forcibly placed in the waiting
patrol wagon. The crowd again cheeied
loudly. A young man, decorated with a
bright crimson sash, made an insulting re
mark, and quickly jolnea his comrades in
the patrol wagon. When the flags were
taken from the ranks It did not canse any
particular commotion In the procession,
marchers 100 leet ahead being oblivious or
the pioceedings.
The men and their fiery draperies were
taken to Chief McLaughry's office, when the
Jatter lead them a severe lecture and in
formed them that it was not his purpose to
prosecute them, bnt he Informed them that
the laws must be obeyed and police regula
tions strictlr lived up to. The men replied
they were innocent of wrong-doing: they
only read tho Arbeiter Zcttung, and did not
know they were violating any law or dis
obeying police orders.
Samuel Gompers at Cincinnati.
Cl5ciM.Ar, May L From 10,000 to 15,000
workingmen celebrated May Day oy an ex
cursion to Woodsdale, a resort 23 miles
north of Cincinnati, to-day. Five

MRS. OSBORNE FREE,
The Stigma or the Prison Lifted From the
Cradle Her Devoted Husband Sleets
Her at the Jail Door and Takes Her
Home A Lire Saved by a Pardon.
London, May 1. Ever since Mrs. Flor
ence Ethel Osborne was sentenced to nine
months' imprisonment for her theft of the
now world renowned pearls from her friend,
Mrs. Hargreaves, and her subsequent
perjury in connection with the libel
suit she brought against Mrs. Hargreaves
after being charged with the theft, her
friends havo exerted every Influence to se
cure her release. Petitions were presented
to Mr. Matthews, tho Home Secietary, pray
ing for her release, among them being one
from some of the mostpromlnentphystcians
of London. It was argued by many persons
that the State had no right to put the stigma
of prison birth upon the child to be born by
Mrs. Osborne.
This and other arguments were brought to
bear upon the Home Secretary, with the re
sult that he issued an order for Mrs. Os
borne's release. This was served upon tho
Warder of the Holloway Prison and she was
at once liberated.
Captain Osborne, who has done everything
in his power to aid and comfort his wife, was
to-day at the prison with a carriage. In this
Mrs. Osborno was placed and was at once
driven to the resilience of her husband's
parents. No. 5 Alster terrace.
During the past week Mrs. Osborne was ut
terly prostrated, and fears were entertained
that if she was kept longer in prison it would
result fatally to her.

PITTSBURG. MONDAY, MAY 2. 1892.
DOARKHUESTAGADf
Making New Yorkers Talk by Preach
ing More Sensationalism.
HE ATTACKS HIS
PRESBYTERY
i
And Intimates That Han May Do Evil That
Good May Come of It.
HE HAS A FEW FLINGS FOE DS COSTA
ISrECIAL TELEQBAM TO TOT PISPATCII.
New Yoek, May 1. Kev. Dr. Charles
H. Parkhurst preached this morning in his
pulpit in the Madison Square Presbyterian
Church, another sensational sermon in con
nection with the enterprise known ns the
"circus and Western jay"movement for the
overthrow of vice in New York.
It was announced that he would talk to
young men upon their Christian duties, and
sermon was formally upon this subject
From time to time he said "young men" and
"young Christians," and such phrases, but
the sermon was in reality an elaborate refer
ence to his own methods of propagating
Christianity among the vicious, with a few
incidental flings at Dr. De Costa and the
clerical and lay brethern who oppose the
Parkhurst propaganda, and one strong
sentence about the quarreling clergymen of
the Presbytery of which he is a member.
The church was crowded, the galleries, the
lower ends of the aisles and the pnlpit steps
being filled with those who could not get
seats.
The Doctor Unusually Emphatic
Dr. Parkhurst delivered his sermon with
unusual emphasis of volcj and violence of
gesture. This was especially noticeable in
those parts where he spoke in an indirect
way of the attacks that had been launched
at him. His text waB the Zlst verse of the 20th
chapter or the Gospel according to St. John:
"As my Father hath sent me, even so send I
you." He began by saying that the duty of
Christians was the redeeming of the world.
He said this duty was to the clergyman, but
none the less to the laymen. He was of the
opinion that this work should be especially
attractive to young men.
"Starting with the assumption," said he,
"that you do want to make this world a rad
ically different and a better world, let me
say to you that If it Is your ambition to do
Christ's work, you will have to be not onlv
animated by His spirit, bntyon will have to
conform pretty closely to His methods.
"Christ has taken out the only patent
method of saving the world that Is feasible,
and the flrst step that Christ took In His
career or redemption was to quit heaven. I
am sorry that a fair presentation of the case
requires ns to put in a dash of shadow as tho
flrst stroke In the picture, but It is true, and
that means in the broad, when It Is wicked
ness that you aie dealing with, ameliorating
effects havo got to be purchased at the ex
pense of your own instant felicity. There is
no fun and nojoy in the business of trying
to destroy tho works of the devil, except the
Joy that always Delongs to the consecrated
endeavor to do tho Lord's will.
Why Christians Act as They Do.
"In this exaotly Is the reason why we
Christians are not contributing any more
rapidly tow ard the world's betterment we
know that Christ left felicity behind Him
when He oommenced, and we don't want
to. We like well enough to make the world
heavenly, but we like to nest in our llttlo
heaven while we are about it. Tho world's
salvation costs, and we don't want to pay It.
Laymen don't want to pay It, and clergy
men don't want to pay it. We sleep better
of nights when we go to bed nftor a day
when we have been trying to stem tho tide.
Your dreams are more Elysinn when you
have not been thinking so distractedly dur
intr the rlflv that it takes six hours nf lvlnir
still to get your thoughts stralghteni'us
ana me Kinss uncurjeu.
"There Is eartblness and helllness all
about us, and In the midst of It all
there are little celestial nests that we have
constructed and that we plume ourselves In,
viewing with bird's eyes the landscape un
derneath, sorry for the horrible things that
we witness or suspect, regretting the broad
belts of hell with which the eai this streaked,
bnt willing that people should stew In the
bubbling, sputtering abomination of their
own misery and iniquity, rather than slip
our own paradise for the sake of pulling
them out. The Church will never bring In
the millennium till its members make up
their minds that we have no timefor heaven
at present.
In Close Touch With Gross Depravity.
"But more than that: Christ not only put
heaven away behind Him, but He came into
the very closest touch that was possible to
Him with the grossest depiavlty that was
on earth. I can imagine some or the angels
not In the redemption business loafing along
the celestial conrts as the Son of God laid
aside His glory and moved down to Bethle
hem In advent,-arching their celestial brows
nnd expostulating with Him, and rebuking
Him tor venturing into the contacts of a
world over which tho serpent had so long
dragged his scaly coils, nnd suggesting to
Him to dispatch a second or thiid-cfass
angel down to this disgusting and sin-reeking
world, with instructions to send back an
affidavit of what he found down here.
"All that I mean by that, young men, is
this: If you want to be a means or saving
the world, Just understand that you cannot
do it at arm's length. I venture to think,
let us say right heie, that it is the failure on
the nart of the Church vividlv to under
stand and hotly to feel the ghastly amount
of unholfness and beastliness that Christi
anity Is here to destroy, thatpievonts the
Chnrch from taking Christianity and Siting
and hewing It down to Its legitimate work.
An Attack on His Presbytery.
"Although 1 say, who, perhaps, should not
say it, if I, for instance, could make the
Presbytery of this city realize tho moral
condition of things in our midst, as I feel it
and know it, I would engage inside of one
month to have an end put to tho unseemly
quarrels that rend our Presbytery, to the
shame ot our Presbytery and disgince of
the Christian leligion. Every Christian,
layman or clergyman, must exorciso his
own Judgment as to tho wi5ost way of get
ting at the facts, bnt he has got to get at
them somehow. He Iirs to know the world
ho is going to minister to. If you come into
diiect touch with tne world, either the
woild will blacken you or you will whiten
tho world.
"Still further in pursuance of the divine
methods If you, young men, desire to do
Christ's work In the midst of the corrupt
men and women amour whom we live, you
have got to present to them the amiable side
of Christianity, but you have gottopiesent
to them a great lot beside. And In this, too,
I am only Insisting tha you nut your foot
down steadily in the tracks nlicady worn by
the Lord. In regard to tho gentleness and
loveliness of Christian methods, theie have
been quantities of driveling nonsense per
petrated lately bv some parties that ought
to know better. Young Christian hearers, I
want that you should be permeated with all
the tenderness and sweetness of the gospel,
but I do want you should havo gristle.
"The cros or Jesus Christ is at once the
tenderest thing and tho sternest thing in all
history. It stands for the weeping obsti
nacy or our God. It Is pathos, but it is flint.
Tho OldTestamentwas not rubDedont when
the New Testament came. John does not
make Moses a back number.
Love Something More Than Fondness.
"Love Is something more than fondness.
Gospel is as dignified as It is accessible. You
know that we preach love here, bnt there is
love"and there Is love. There isjhe sincere
milk of the word but there Is the sweet
ened gruel of the word, too. Some diseases
can be cured with ointment, others require
the knire. Cancers cannot be removed with
peppermint water. We may well weep over
tho sinner, but we must scoWl over the sin
and keep our Jaws clamped.
"Whenever you deliberately, and with
steady aim, strike any existing sin squarely
between tho eyes, the men that practice
that sin will actually or metaphorically grit
their teeth at you. Let me say to you,
though, for yonr encouragement and com
fort, that the next most blessed thing in this
world to being well loved is being well
hated.
''Undoubtedly you and I can preach ab
stract truth and escape everything like col
lision. We could malign David for his vices
and pour canister shot Into Solomon for his
li regularities, and he being an early edition
and having no extant relatives, no friction
would be generated And no heat developed.
Bnt what is the use? Preaching on moldy
sin and antiquated iniquity is a device prac
ticed by an elegant ministry for the sake of
anaesthetizing its conscience, minimizing
its Inconvenience, and cnltivating its pa
rochial revenues."
The Doctorended with an appeal to young
men to consider the field and the work
calmly and deliberately, to make them re
solve and put their hands to the plow and
not look back.
A WIDE-OPEN SUNDAY.
New York Again Belapses From Its Spas
modic Attempt at One-Pay Saloon
Closing Surprise of the Police at
Learning of the fact.
New York, May 1. Special When
Superintendent Byrnes was asked to-day
about the report that the Police Depart
ment had decided to "let up" on the saloons,
he denied that it bad any foundation, and
he denied also the rumor that Inspector
Steers had given orders to call off the
police spies. He said the law was being
strictly enforced everywhere.
'JJ. don't believe that there is a saloon
open in this city," the Superintendent said,
as a wind-up to his denial of the report. Ho
was promptly Invited to walk around tho
corner and see a saloon side door wide open
that had been closed the Sunday before.
The Superintendent wheeled abont abrupt
ly and called up the commander of the
Tenth precinct on his telephone and ordered
a policeman to be sent to him at once. The
copper came in a hurry.
"Go to the Capitol," he said to the copper.
"If you can get in, arrest everyone in tho
place."
Tho policoman, In full uniform, hnrried
around the corner, walked into the saloon
on the northwest corner of Houston street
and the Bowery, and arrested William John
son, the bartender. Patrick McCollum put
up ball for Johnson.
All this while people were going through
the side door of the saloon close by the one
that tho superintendent thus summarily
shut np. Whether Superintendent Byrnes
knew of it or not, there was certainly a let-up
on the saloons all along tho line, to-day.
a gooa many were cioseaf Due tne majority
appeared to be open, with pickets at the side
doors- The fact that the saloons were open
was patent to any one who rode in the ele
vated cars and looked through the fan
lights. Bartenders could be seen serving
customers at the bars. Saloors that had
been closed for two Sundays were open
again.
This occasioned no surprise, for it is part
of the history of all the spasmodic attempts
to enfore a law that the community would
not tolerate If It bad homo rule.
HOODOOED TO THE GRAVE.
An Unfortunate Whose Troubles Followed
Him Into His Coffin.
Cbicaoo, May L Special. A runaway
tore down Thirty-seventh street this after
noon at 2:30 o'clock. Along its course women
shrieked and men turned away their eyes
at a spectacle almost too horrible to be
credited. Tho driver of a hearse had
lost control or his horses, which galopped at
a furious rato until their guide was forced to
Jump to save bis lire. The maddened team
was not brought to a standstill until
a collision sent the casket through the
side of tho hearse into the street. The
hearse turned over, it3 silent passenger
rolled out through the plate glass sides,
hurst tho head of the wooden coffin, and
showed a ghastly and mutilated corpse to
the gathering crowd.
The horses'were stopped, unharnessed nnd
led back, frightened but uninjured from
their ruce of nearly a mile. As soon as the
flrst horror was passed tho casket was
restored to the hearse. In a moment the
friends In lifo of tho dead man came upon
tho scene, and In telling who ho had been
added one moro element of horror to the
dismal catastrophe. The body was that ot
John Mlller.a poor Bavarian Jaborer.who.op
pressed by tho hopelessness of his condition,
had taken his own life. Thursday last ho
was found In the rear of the houoe on Emer
ald avenue with a bullet In his head. lie
was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital, and
died there that night. Unfortunate In
lite, bad'luck had pursued him to the very
verge or the grave.
IN DANGEE OF A DB0TJGHT.
Newark's Water Supply May Bo Shut Off
Until Paid For.
New York, May . Special. Newark has
practically refused to accept the new water
supply provided by the East Jersey Water
Company, which is composed of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company and a nnmber of
New York and New Jersey capitalists, who
have spent nearly $4,000,000 to build two big
storage reservoirs, acquire water rights and
build a four-foot steel conduit over hill and
dale and across rivers and, canals for 25
miles to reach the city. Tho company con
tracted to deliver 50,000,000 gallons per day,
and oxperts say now, while the watershed is
sufficient to supply nearly twice that quan
tity at times, it cannot be depended upon
for more than S5,000,000 gallons In extraordi
narily dry seasons. The commissioners
have refused to take the water which was to
be dellveied on May 1, and to pay the $4,000,
000 which was to bo the flrst payment.
The water Is excellent, and Newarkers
have been served with it on and off for
months. Whether the company will shut it
off until a decision is arrived at is a matter
which deeply interests Newarkers. The
Passaic water Is positively filthy and unfit
to drink.

CRIME AT CALAMITY.
Ernest Redares Shoots Paul in Ma
zaulier, Who Was Alter Him
WITH AN UGLY LOOKING CLUB.
The Primary Cause Jealousy, Followed by
a Dun for a Board Bill.
AN ATTEMPT TO LYXCH THE SHOOTIST
Ifroji a staff correspondent, i
West Elizabeth, Pa., May 1. Jeal
ousy caused another murder in Allegheny
county to-day. At 11:30 o'clock this morn
ing the Sunday quietude of the little ham
let of Calamity was broken by a gunshot.
Paulin Mazaulier fell dead, hif -lght side
pierced in a hundred places, h -;d-
aiea witii snot. .Ernest Keuar . &J,
the shot, is now here in th'e fi'ffi,r ,rTi
uorouer jticJJowell, and will De taKez
Pittsburg to-morrow, to await the action of
the grand jury.
Calamity, the scene of the murder, is a
mining village, about two miles back of
West Elizabeth, at the Joseph Walton
mines. Almost the entire population is
French. Word after the murder was tele
graphed to Cororfer McDowell, at 1 o'clock,
and that official was given a special engine
and arrived here this evening and held the
inquest.
The Actors in the Tragedy.
Ernst Redares, the murderer, is about 45
years old. He has a wife and two children.
He and his wife came from the province of
Gard, in Southern France, Ave years ago.
Paulin Mazaulier, the murdered man, ar
rived here three years later. Ho was 31
years old and single. Ho came from the
same part of France, and, after working In
various parts of the State, he went to Ca
lamity about last Christmas. On the strength
of old acquaintanceship he was taken in and
given boarding. Llko the husband, he
worked at the mines, and like the husband
also loved the wire. In fact, the affection
was so pronounced that Redares discovered
it two weeks ago and hot words ensued.
Mazaulier then left the house and a heavy
board bill behind.
Redares even went so far as to have tho
township Constable warn Mazaulier to keep
out of tho way of bis wire. He also remem
bered the board bill and had his rival's
wages attached at Walton's office hero. As
yesterday was payday the amount ($-20) was
taken out.
Mad Enough to Harder a Man.
Mazaulier became very angry at this, and
when he met Bedaies on the street he
knocked him down, and said If the money
was not given np he would kill blm. Re
dares, in turn, made another Information
for assault and battery before 'Squire Cad
man. The Frenchman could not Do found,
however, and Redares, fearing to go home,
stayed In 'Sqnlro Cadman's home nntil 9:30,
when Constable Blddlo and a neighbor took
him home. It was feared Mazaulier would
kill him on the wRy. Even when ho reached
home Redares was afraid, and the constable
stayed with him until 1 o'clock this morn
ing. Redares was left In peace until 8:C0 o'clock,
when Mazaulier sent a message to blm that
if the money was not returned by noon he
would kill him and kill his son if he offered
any opposition. Abont 10 o'clock to-day
Mazaulier went to Redares' honse and de
manded to see him. Mrs. Redares said he
was not in, and he told her to toll him he
would be back to kill Redares or be killed
himself. He then sawed a heavy club from
a tree, loitered around a while, and went
back to the honse again. Mrs. Redares said
her husband had not returned, but Mazau
lier forced his way into tho house and to an
upstairs room, where Redare was, Jt was
there the fatal shot was fired and Mazaulier
tumbled down the stairs backward, the
whole right side of his breast torn out and
blood gushing forth in a pei-fect torrent. He
lived scarcely two minutes, and died still
clutching tho club.
Almost a Harried Lynching.
The news of the affair spread rapidly, nnd
a crowd of angry Frenchmen soon sur
rounded the house. They did not under
stand the situation at flrst, and a suggestion
that Redares should be lynched quickly pro
voked a determination to hang him. Half a
dozen men started simultaneously to hunt a
rope, and twice as many more congregated
around the house, cursing and making
threats. Redares, meantime, remained
cowering npstalis in bis house.
The English-speaking people in the neigh
borhood gathered around In time to prevent
the Impending execution of the slayer, and
while the Frenchmen were hunting a rope
they hustled Redares away to the house of
Justice William Cadman, where he remained
until the arrival of the Coroner,
The body ot Mazaulier remained at
Redares' house. He n as neatly prepared for
burial by Undertaker J. A. Abraras, who
sewed up the ugly gash in his right side. He
mnst havo been shot from the fnll width of
the room, about 12 feet, as there were no
powder burns on the skin. He apparently
got no further than the doorway the blood
being spattered on the walls and floor from
there to the lower floor.
Tho club which Mazaulier took to Redares'
house mysteriously disappeared from the
house soon after the killing. It wa3 after
ward found in an outhouse by John Matthes.
When the Coroner arrived, with Clerk
David Sample, the tacts as set forth aDove
were brought out by the witnesses, and the
prisoner was held for court.
A Place Not at An Misnamed.
Tho village of Calamity was founded abont
12 years ago, and is Inhabited principally by
Walton's miners. There are about 25 French
families, and they are regarded through all
the country around as a very rough element.
The houses of the village are all small and
unpretentious mere shanties, many of
them.
The name Calamity was fastened upon the
town in a peculiar way. The Waltons
bought a portion of the Stalloy farm, and
a half-witted member of the fanulv declaied
the transferor the property a sad calamity.
The name tnur bestowed was employed in
a jesting way first, but It has stuck.
$40,000 DAMAGE IN 10 SECONDS.
Great Destruction Cansed by the Collapse
of a Mammoth Engine.
WrxLiMAXTic, Coxx., May 1. Special. Tho
destructfon of the great Corliss engine In
No. 1 mill of the Willlmantlc Linen Com
pany yesterday was a mostremarkablo acci
dent. The engine, which was a now one,
was of 1,500 hone power, and said to be the
most powerful single engine in the country.
It was brought here from the factory in New
ark in sections, and an engine house had
to be built expressly for it. Its driving
wheel was 23 feet in diameter, and revolved
on a 15 inch thick shaft that was 20 feet long.
Tho accident was caused by a clean fractuie
of tho great shaft while the wheel was run
ning with only 400 horse power. The wheel
sank into the wheel pit with n crash, carry
ing with it tho roof of the engine honse and
the east and a est walls or the mill. Bricks
Were hurled 200 feet, entirely thiough tho
middle or the main factory.
. Tho wheel nns broken into fragments, nnd
all Its spokes weie biokeuolf at tho hub.
Over $40,000 damage was done In ten seconds.
D. E. Porter, who was In tho engine room,
saved his life by diving through a window
in a door that was only 18 inches square.
Engineer Schenck and Alex. Dorsey also
had narrow escapes. Iholoss falls on the
Newark company, since the engine had not
been accepted by the Linen Company, who
never believed that the monstrous machine
would work successfully.
SHOT 1EBEE HEN F0S TVS.
A 'Longshoreman's Eicuse for Firing at a
Party of Fellow-Workmen.
New Tors, May 1. Special. Charles Leh
man and Edward Fanning were employed
by the Pacific Mall Steamship Company In
July, 1889. On July 3 Lehman disappeared.
Fanning, with two other 'longshoremen,
worked until 0 o'clock in the evening, when
they started home. As they passed a
small shanty on West street a pistol
shot rang out, and Fanning fell to the
ground, shot In. the left leg. Three more
shots hit James Ryan, one or Fannlng's com
panions. A fifth snot struck John Meyors
in the hand. Meyers saw Lehman lying on
the roof of the shanty, with a smoking rc-
volver in his hand. Lehman escaped. Noth
ing was heard of him until three weeks ago,
when Fanning met him on the Bowery.
Fanning told Lehman that Ryan had died
from his Injuries, and that Meyers had to
have his hand amputated. Lehman re
joined that he "didn't give a ," and
walked away.
Last night Fanning, now a watchman on
the Third Avenne Road, was setting a lan
tern, when Lehman stole np, grabbed him by
the neck and drew a French dueling pistol
and tried to fire It. Policemen Pollack and
Sullivan ran np and arrested him. Lehman
told his story. "I admit shooting those
three men," he said to Justice McMahon,
"but I did it for fun. Fannlng's back was to
me, and'I wanted to see him jump. Theoth
ers looked so scared when I fired at Fanning
that I shot them, too." Justice MoMahon
held him in $3,500 ball for trial.

Missouri 34, Nebraska 16.
In the States which have failed to Instruct
the delegates at large to vote for renomina
tlon are some delegates who have voluntar
ily indicated their determination to vote for
President Harrison. New Yorkis relied upon
to give the President, under the existing
circumstances, even though there is nothing
done to wheel around the entire 72 delegates,
at lease 23 votes on the first ballot. Ont or
Pennsylvania's 61 delegates at least IS have
already indicated that thoy inteded to sup
port the President on the first ballot.
Although no eflort was mado to secure in
structions in the Ohio Convention last week
20 or tho total 40 delegates are expected to
vote for renominatlon, even though nothing
is done to capture Buckeye delegates.
Three or four of tho Michigan delegates
have been instructed by their districts to
vote for renominatlon.
It will be seen by these figures that 225
delegates have already been placed upon
the Harrison roster, just one over half or tho
number required to renominate President
Harrison upon the first ballot.
The opponents of renominatlon, in figur
ing that the States with uninstrncted dele
gations will solidly oppose the President,
have neglected to take Into consideration
the fact that the unit rule does not apply lu
Republican conventions.
A PRIEST WITH A PISTOL
Drives Two Parishioners Out of His Chnrch
A Girl Who Would Stick to Her
Protestant Lover Aroused His Wrath
The Beverend Father Puritanic.
Bcrhnotox, N. J., May L Rev. Father
Tracy, pastor of St. Paul's Roman Catholic
Church, this morning ordered a policeman
to eject Matthew Gaynor and his daughter,
Miss Nellie Gaynor, who have been members
of the organization. The officer refused,
and the priest, drawing a revolver, forced
Gaynor to arise from his knees, and pointing
the weapon at his head, drovo him out of
the edifice.
The trouble is said by Miss Gaynor to be
due to the fact that she received the atten
tions of a Protestant named Charles Master.
The young woman is 18 years old and has
known Massev, who is a youth of 20, since
they were children. This intimacy was
distasteful to the priest, who denounced such
companionship from the pulpit, and finally,
artor warning the Gaynors, debarred.thein
from the chnrch.
On several occasions Father Tracy created
a sensation by his bitter denunciations of
members of tho church, whom he had
watched and found guilty of intemperance,
lie also denounced dancing in covere terms
some time ago, and on that occasion flour
ished a revolver in the pulpit. Gavnor left
for Trenton to-day, where he will lay his
complalnt-before Bishop O'Farrell.

.
Methodist Laymen Declare Tlreir In f
dependence on the Eve of
TO-DAT'S GENERAL- CONFERENCE.
A Eesolution for Separate Seats Carries by
a Big Majority.
IT IS PEOPOSED BI A PBXNSILTANIAS
Omaha, May 1. Abont the first thinjf
the Methodist General Conference will
strike, when its business session opens to
morrow morning, will be a snag in the shape
of a declaration of independence on the)
part of lay delegates. The meeting of lay
delegates, held at the First Methodist
Church to-night, promises to be something
of a starter itself. Very tew laymen knew
when they went to chnrch what the object
of the meeting was, but they had been,
present not more than 20 minutes until a
pretty sized conference had broken loose
right there.
About 100 of the lay delegates were pres
ent, and after electing Mr. Field, post
master at Philadelphia, as Chairman, and
Mr. Young, of North 'Dakota, as secretary,
the meeting proceeded to the discussion of
some very interesting questions. .
The Chairman requested Dr. John E.
Johns, of the Laymen's Association of
Philadelphia, who had been discussing for
some time the possibility of securing mors
power and influence in the General Con
ference than that which they usually exer
cised, to state the object of the gathering.
Eqnal Iteprcsentatlon Is Demanded.
The laymen, he said, are, as a rule, un
familiar with the workings of the General
Conferences, and are not so personally ac
quainted with the Bishops as the ministe
rial delegates, and for this reason the lay
men, as a rule, failed to exercise that influ
ence in the conference deliberations that
their interests really demanded. It Is also
the belief of the Philadelphia laymen that
the time had come for them to ask equal
representation with tho, ministers in the
General Conference.
The idea ot there being only 150 laymen to
350 ministerial delegates in the General Con
ference, has seemed peculiar to the minds of
a good many lnymen. Therefore they had
been called before the conference met fn
order that the laymen might present a re
quest for the privilege of being setted In a
body separate from the ministers In the con
ference, and also to express a desire for
equal representation In the next General
Conference.
A Voice Against Separate Seats.
Half a dozen delegates were on their feed
In an instant, trying to get the eye of tho
Chairman to speak upon the question, and,
Mr. Shlnkle, of Kentucky, succeeded In gain
ing tne floor. He Is an experienced confer
ence delegate, having attended Ave General
Conferences prior to this, and what he says)
naturally carries a good deal of weight. Ho
was very mnch opposed to the Idea of
separate seats. He thought it would look
like antagonism and dissension to have tho
ministerial and lay delegates separated on
the conference floor. Mr. Sbinkles remarks
seemed to carry conviction to the minds ot
the delegates, for he was applauded, but
there.was something to follow that turned,
the tide.
Thomas F. Murray, of Pennsylvania, nexS.
secured the floor.aml before he relinquished
it he had evidently changed the face of
things a good deal. Mr. Murray held that
thero was no intention on the part of the
laymen to create antagonism between the
orders of delegates, bnt the lay delegates i
certainly came tn thn finnferane- fn- t Tmr
pose, and tbtysHbulrt see to it that thev ao
corop'.?ioed something for tho good of the)
-cilurch.
Where Laymen Are at a Disadvantage.
Under the old regime, Mr. Murray said,
where the ministers and lay delegates wore
all mingled' together on the conference
floor, it was almost Impossible for the av
erage lay delegate to secure recognition
from the Chair when an Important discus- '
sion arose in the conference, on accout of
tho fact that the Bishops who preside were
acquainted with the ministerial delegates,
and were unacquainted with the laymen. ID,
usually happened that several men were
trying to get the eye of the presiding officer,
arid the layman got worsted every time.
Ex-Governor Evans, of Colorado, then ad
dressed the meeting. He was very mnch in
favor of separate seating for lay delegates.
After several speeches pro and con, the
resolution, which bad been offered soon
after tho discussion arose by Mr. Shaw, of
low.!, for the purpose of requesting the con
ference to seat the lay delegates separately,
was put and carried by a vote of 74 to 24.
The meeting then adjourned, to meet again
at the call of the Chairman.
