Carnegie will be given back the 1,000,- 580 lie jjave the city of l'ittsburg to erect c tree library at Schenley Park. Last night the Window Glass Workers' Union, of tin1 Southside, made an initial move toward reproving Carnegie. A reso lution was passed recommending that Mayor Gonrley be requested to a-k Council to re turn to Andrew Carnegie the money he had donated for a tree iibrarv, and that a com mittee be appointed to accompany Presi dent Eberhardt in waiting on the Mayor with a copv of the resolution. It was also decided to instruct the delegates of the as sociation to the Trades Council to urtre the latter organization to take the same action. Vlant No fllonmii-nts to Carnpjrle. Among the many tilings that the resolu tion statdl was thai the pioposed library would only I e a monument to Carnegie, while the men who build and maintain it will not derive any benefit from it. It Is expected that a special meeting of Councils will be held within a week or ten dais, anl the matter will then be presented. This is the manner in which the glass work ers have figured the problem: They place the cost of maintaining the library at from $60,000 to f75,000 a year. At this rate in Irani 20 to 2j iars the city would have more money in the building than Mr. Carnegie,but would get cone ot the honors through its existence. The men are in earnest about the matter, and say they will not top with the passage of last night's resolution, but they will urge other organizations to assist in aghating the matter and cause a multi tude ot petitions to pour into Councils ask ing tor the repeal of the ordinance. Petitions to ItMurn Carnegie's Jloney. While the glass makers were at work on their resolution another move was going on over in Pittsburg. It is going on so eecretly that but little can be learned of it. W. T. Espey, the drug gist, is a friend of the origi nator of a petition asking Councils to re-j-ejiid its action in the library matter. He Vfused to tell who had the petition. He admitted that the pa.ier is actuated by the situation at Homestead. This petition also cites that the mainte nance of the library would be a cost of S80, O0C annually to the city, such an expendi ture at this time beine unwarranted under the existing circumstances. A number of Eignaturc hava bcS secured, and many of theai are from prominent citizens. Jls this move is yet in its infancy Mr. Espey thought it wise not to divulge the names at tached to the petition. Thf Move llmls flfany Supporters. The action of the window glass worKers was received with much enthusiasm by the different labor organizations last night It was a surprise to them, but they all thought it timely and a moe in the right direction. A prominent Amalgamated official was the first man seen. He received the information with ewdent joy.

International Bricklayers' Union, No. 2, was in session j ct last night when news of the glass workers' action was reported to it. Secretary Speed was seen by a Dispatch reporter.

A man very prominent in the Flint Glass 'orkers' Association, but who refused to .ve his name used, said: "As the question nics to me now I am heartily in tavor of ving Councils relund the money," said "but I do not know just how the win- r glass workers" resolution was made out whether Uonncils can undo its work. orMenIemandthe Return of the Check If the glassworkers' resolution is what hould be, then I am goiug to work for it I can, and if I were a Councilman I Id certainly vote to give Andrew Car- e back his money. If Councils do its members would make names hemsclves that would find lasting nbrance with the labor people.

The plant of the Carnegie Steel Company from a distance presents the appearance of a row of deserted factories. The buildings that during last week were so full of life and activity are now more quiet than the silent river, which flows at its side. As a nearer approach is made, and the gates lead ing to the oflice are reached it is seen that the company's watchmen still grimly patrol their beats on the inside in a sleepy and careless manner, as if there was no fear for the present at least. At Munhall station, however, a number of workmen can be found at any time They ogle every newcomer suspicmuslv, and follow him with their glances until he is lost to view. Every train that comes in and goes out ot Homestead is watched with more than passing interest, and it is plain to be seen that the report that an iron-clad ,tram was being fitted out at Lima, O., to carry Pinkerton men to Homestead has created a great impression on the minds ot the workmen. They unite in saving: "Let the Pinkertons came. A way will be found to drag them from the cars." They will not escape so easily as the ones Sheriff Mc Cleary rescued. O'DONKELL'S TEIP 10 HAB3ISBUBG.

These centlemsn constituted a com mittee appointed by the men to go to Harrisburg and personally inter view Governor Pattison.

BURIED BENEATH STONES Arc Railroad Coaches and Sleepers and Three Mangled Bodies V Wall Col lapses and Falls Upon the Standing C Two Conductors Are Killed. Memphis, July 8. There is a scene of wreck and ruin and death at the Newport 2Cews and Mississippi Valley Railroad depot. Under the large stones of a fallen wall lay crushed and broken timbers of coaches and sleepers, and within this mass are three human beings whose lives were crushed out. It was at 4:45 this morning when part of the wall supporting Front street, from Pop lar to Market, fell. Yesterday evening the sleeper Swananowa, from Chicago, arrived here. The sleeper and a coach were pushed upon a track in the Newport News depot, next to the wall that was built two years ago. The sleeper was in charge of Con ductor J. K. Hunter and Porter BelL After its passengers were discharged the conductor left his car, and, in company with Conductor Hogan, of .New Orleans, he came up town and spent several hours looking over the city. llie two men were seen together at a late hour last night, and it was supposed Hogan spent the nisrht in Huuter's sleeper. It was approaching dawn when the wall, 300 feet long and from 22 to 2G feet high, gave way, dashed six cars to pieces and killed three people. On the track next to the wall, which is distant from it ten feet, were the sleeper Swananowa and a coach. The sleeper is smashed almost into the ground, and the coach is badly crushed. About three o'clock this afternoon the bodies of J. K. Hunter (white) and Sam Bell (colored) were extricated from the crushed timbers. The loss is estimated at fCo.OOO. TAKEN IN AS A GKEENY.

New York, July 8. oVxriaM William F.Powell, who says he is the public prosecu tor of Ind-anola, Iowa, and an old friend of Governor Boies, reached New York on an excursion train about 11 o'clock last even ine. Mr. Powell found the town rather large, and as he was weary from traveling he sought refreshment at several corner groceries on his way to Union Square. He tried several hotels, and finally wound up at the Morton House, softening his disap pointment at not getting a room there by taking another drink. By this time it was midnight, and Mr. Powell met two young women who wore diamonds. "Hello, papa, where'd you get the badge?" asked one. His two new friends pilotel him to a saloon where they had several rounds of drinks at his expense. Mr. Powell soon got tired and he sat down ou the steps in front of a honse to rest. The young women seated themselves on h's knees. Suddenly both women jumped up and ran down the street. Police man Kenny saw them ruuning, and he recognized them. Powell found he had lost his pocketbook, and it was recovered from the girls, who were held in bail for trial, while Powell was sent to the House of Detention as a witness. ANOTHER FLOOD FEARED.

The Tombigbee river has risen 20 feet and is still rising rapidly.

Buffalo, July a The member of the Lumber Shovers' Union, at a meeting in a seamen's hall to-night, voted unanimously to resume work on the docks of the friendly lumber merchants. They hope, however, to effect a consolidation with the unions at the upper ports and to bovcott the hostile firms and in time bring about the abolition of the stevedore system. There was no serious rioting on the docks to-day,though several scrimmages took plare between union and non-union men, and several arrests were made. No further trouble is expected. ST.

THE HEW YOROS NEEDED And Whitelaw fieid Means That the Rig State Shall Be in Line. CAMPBELL WAS CULL01PS CHOICE. Empire State Republicans Have It in for Cabinet Officers. 3IAGEE STILL TALKED OF AS LEADER .SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DtSFATCIM New York, July 8. W. J. Campbell departed to-day for his home in Chicago and Hon. Tom Carter returned to Washington. They were perfectly satisfied with the make up of the National Republican Executive Committee and everybody else, including Whitelaw Keid, ex-Senator Piatt, Warner Miller and Dr. Depew received it without complaint. It was frankly admitted that the majority of the committee had always been friendly to Mr. Blaine. The placing of William A. Sutherland, of Rochester, on the committee was ac cented in some quarters to mean that the dominant clement of the New York ma chine had already been placated. This in terpretation is erroneous. Hon. Tom Car ter merely asked Senator Flatt whom he would like to have on the committee from New York, and Mr. Piatt named Mr. Suth erland. There was no futher understand ing. The New York; leaders don't propose to talk to the President through intermedi aries. They will talk directly to the Presi dent or not at all. All An cry at Clkins and Others. They want nothing themselves, but they are full of bottled wrath agaiust Secretary Elkins, Secretary Tracy and Attorney Gen eral W. H. H. Miller, "all three of" whom are accused of belittling to the President the importance of the Republican vote of New York State. The time has arrived when the narty needs the vote of the State. The President has been informed of the feeling of the New iorfcers, but be is so stiU-necked, so say his Republican critics, and is imagining that he is a dead sure winner without the aid of others than his Cabinet officers and the man he is to select to run his Campaign Com mittee. Certain of the Washington Republicans who have been here for the last few days deprecate such a state of things. -They have been greatly disappointed over the setting aside by the President of General James S. Clarkson as Chairman of the Executive Committee. This act was ascribed to-day to the influence or Secretary Jilfclns. it was done against the protest of Tom Carter, the secretary of the committee. Cnllom Selected Mr. Campbell. The selection of Mr. Campbell was made on the advice of that most astute of all Western Republican statesmen, Hon. Shelby Cullom, of the outskirts of Chicago. Before leaving town Mr. Carter and Mr. Fessenden again visited the Republican State headquarters in the Fifth Avenue Ho tel. Later in the day Mr. Piatt, alter an hour's talk privately up stairs with Senator Hiscock, joined ex-Senator Warner Miller in the headquarters. Whitelaw Reid is greatly interested in the situation. He is determined that an amicable understanding shall be reached. His friends say he is in this campaign to win. He believes that everything will be straightened out at the proper time. ILLINOIS THE BATTLEGR00NB According to Governor Flfer, Who la Aw fnlly Down nn Plnkertonlsm. Chicago, July 8. Special. Governor Fifer is in town. He is down on Pinker tons and Pinkerton methods, and declared with considerable warmth that no matter now many Pinkertons entered Pennsylvania they would no longer be tolerated in this State. There was a" good law, 'he' said, on the statute books before Senator Palmer began his crusade against the Pinkertons, preventing armed bodies of private watchmen or detectives from acting for corporations whose em ployes were on strike. The civil authorities and the militia only had such authority. As to the invasion by Pinkertons at Home stead the Governor said he did not know whether it was lawful or not, as he was un acquainted with the Pennsylvania statutes ou the subject. Asked what effect the labor riots would have on the campaign in this State, he said: "I cannot see that it will hurt the Republi can party any. Suppose we adopted free trade, or a tariff policy of revenue only, what would be the situation at Carnegie's steel works? Worse than at present, I ven ture to say. Illineis will undoubtedly be the battleground in the coming campaign, and the fight will be hotter than a hornet's nest at Shiloh. For that reason T am in favor of establishing a branch of the Na tional Committee in Illinois. A BOUSING DEMONSTRATION To Be Tendered by New Yorkers to Cleve land and Stevenson Next Week. New York, July a SpecM, It is proposed by the Democrats of this city to make the official notification of Grover Cleveland and Adlai E. Stevenson of their nomination by the Chicago convention, the occasion for a rousing demonstration. The candidates are to be notified on Wednes day, July 20, by the committee appointed for that purpose. The Manhattan Club has tendered Its house for the purpose, but Walter Stanton said to-day that Mr. Cleve land is desirous that the ceremony shall take place in a hall, where he may be Been by as many persons as possible, and where his speech in response to the notification may be heard by as many persons as pos sible. After consultations between ex-Secretary Whitney and Mayor Grant it was decided to-day to invite 100 citizens of New York to act as a reception committee to entertain the visiting members of the Committee of Notification and to attend to all the local arrangements. The Mayor said that the names ot the gentlemen selected to act in this capacity will be announced some time to-morrow. BLAINE ANB HARBISON KEN Abont Equally Represented on the New Executive Committee. Washington, July a Special It is generally admitted that the National Re publican Executive Committee, announced last evening at New York by Chairman Campbell is a very judicious one. It gives a representation to the Blaine and Harrison men about as nearly eqnal as can be. The gossip in regard to the Chairmanship is as vague as it has been at any time.

Tha President In nn Embarrassing Position Because or Ills Tension Commissioner He Will Catch It it He Fires Him or If Be DoAn't. Washington, July 8. Special Pres ident Harrison will have the Raum diffi culty on his hands next week, to add to the many other embarrassments which now surround him. In a few days Judge Wheeler, Chairman of the committee which investigated the Pension Office, will call up the resolution reported by the committee, and there is no doubt the resolution will bo adopted by an overwhelming majority. A few Republicans are said to be willing to vote for it. The resolutions declare that in the judg ment of the House,Raum should be removed because he has demonstrated his unfitness for.the place, because of his lack of judg ment and intense animosity, because of his unscrupulous but unsuccessful attempt to injure the character of Congressman Cooper, because he has prostituted his office to Erivate gain, and because he has prostituted is office for political purposes. This sweeping resolution is so fully sup ported by the facts set forth in the report of the committee that Raum is left practically without support in either branch of Con gress. So far as can be learned there is no Republican brave enough to defend the Commissioner on the floor of the House, and the popular branch of Congress will set the seal of its condemnation upon Raum so unmistakably that President Harrison will be placed in a most embarrassing posi- sition. To retain Commissioner Raum in the face of the evidence against htm and the judgment of the House would be foolhardy, and to remove the derelict bureau officer in the midst of a campaign would be to confess that the administration has been weak in one of the most important departments of the Government. Friends of the President say he will meet the emergency as boldly as possible by sac rificing Raum, though he now regrets he did not listen to the advice of certain members of his Cabinet and remove the Commissioner last fall AN UNPOPULAR LABOR LAW. Some Factory Employes Object to Too Few Hours' Labor Each Week. New Brunswick, N. J., July 8. Special The factory employes in this city are not much pleased with the 55-hour law which went into effect to-day, and a major ity of the employes of the New Brunswick and United States rubber factories have signed a petition asking to be allowed Sat urday in other words, full time. A few boys objected to this, and most of the workmen are on piece work, and shorter hours means a serious loss to them in the matter of wages, and it is believed that these factories come under the clause of the law which exempts concerns which manu facture goods of a perishable nature, and the managers take this view and will allow the workmen to continue to work under the old system, knowing that Factory Inspector Fell is about bringing a suit to test the validity of the law, and outside a few peo ple who are ahtays wishing to get a day off, the law has no friends and is unpopular as that which compels banks to close at noon on.

The Japanese Diet closed its session June 15, after .a dispute between the two Houses wh theen Emperor decided in favor of giving the House of Peers equal rights with the Lower House to amend the budget The Government has, how ever, been beaten on a number of measures, and in addition to the Minister of Home Affairs, the 'Ministers ot Justice and the Navy have tendered their resigna tions. It is also reported that the Prime Minister has resigned, and that nn effort is being made to bring Count Ito to the lore. Owing to the postponement of the codes, it is believed treaty revision has once more been relegated to the back ground. THE KAISER'S REPLY. ' What His Organ Has to Say Concerning Prince Bismarck. Berlin, July 8. The Seichsanzetger, the Government organ, publishes an imperial rescript issued on May 23, 1890, to all the German and Prussian diplomats abroad. Discussing the views and opinions of Prince Bismarck that had then been lately pub lished in various newspapers, the rescript said: ' "The Emperor is convinced .that either a more placid temper will supervene or that the practical value of the statements of the press will, in the course of time, be more and more correctly appreciated abroad. The Emperor distinguishes between te Prince Bismarck of the past and present, and wishes everything avoided that is likely to tarnish the image of the greatest statesman of the nation."

Arrest of the Notorious Bad Powell Wanted for Train Robbery, Among Other Crimes History of One of Texas' Famoat Robbr Gancs. San Antonio, Tex, July & Special. United States Marshal Paul Frick, of this city, is on his way here from Helena, Mont., having in custody James A. Powell, better known as "Bud" Powell, one of the most desperate ot criminals. Powell has been a fugitive lrom justice for over four years, the particular offense for which he is wanted being' that of train robbery. On June 18, 1887, he and six other des perate men held up the express from Cali fornia two miles east of this city and got away with about 55,000. of Wells-Fargo Ex press money, and $2,000 from passengers. An Englishman lost SI, 000 of that amount. Eight days later the same gang attempted to noia up a passenger train at uarn ouu, Tex. The authorities knew of the plan, and a posse of United States deputy mar shals went out from here on the train. A desperate fight ensued, in which several passengers were wounded and the robbers were driven off. They were all recognized. Powell is the fourth one of the gang located by officers. Bill Whitely, one of them, was killed at Floresville on October 28, 1888, by United States Marshal John T. Rankin, while resisting arrest. Brock, another one, was killed near Pearsall, Tex., in February, 1888, by Sheriff A. Y. Allee, while resisting arrest. Ed Reeves was', the only member of the gang who was captured until Powell's arrest. Reeves was sentenced to the peni tentiary for life. John Barbour, one of the leaders of the robbers, was killed in Indian Territory while resisting arrest. Powell's home is at Yorktown, Tex. He was located in Helena by Marshal Frick. The latter telegraphed here to-day that he is on his way with the prisoner. TEE CONVENT OF LA BABIDA. It Was the Scene Columbus' at the Reawakening Lasting Hope. of The Century.i " When Columbus turned away from the Vega, where every passer-by pauses to look upon the Vermilion Towers, and lrom that city where none remembered him or bis great project, the convent of La Rabida must have seemed to him like a beacon light in the black night of shipwreck. A little inciosure, pine-shadowed, in the solitude; the measureless western ocean be fore his eyes;, a cloudless heaven toward which to turn a clouded sight; a pavement of sepulchral stones; cloisters wherein to meditate and prepare for the end; sanctified altars to which to cling in hope of pardon and of an eternity too long unthought of amid thiritings for earthly glories, less sub stantial than a vapor wreath, and ah! forthe discovery of worlds which, compared with the infinite, are but as atoms; penitents and recluses about him that to his soul seem but as shadows in all these is found an ex planation of the refuge sought by Columbus at La Rabida. The old traditions assign his sojourn at the convent to the hour of his arrival and of his high hopes; cotemporaneous criticism, better informed, fixes it at the period of his departure and his disenchantment. And herein is the chiefest glory of that spot, that it was the scene of a new birth of a lost hope. And this hope returned because Co lumbus was devout, and was beloved of those devout men. It was a sacred rock of faith, whereon sprang the purest of all af fectionsthe affection ot inexhaustible ad miration mangled with unquenchable friend ship. Let hatred and envy know that the humble Franciscan monk, Juan Perez, in truth discovered the New World, through his deep friendship and admiration ior Co lumbus. GIPSY BURIAL BITEa A Very Strange Ceremony Followed by the Killing of a Dog. London News. An interesting Gipsy burial has just taken place at the Catholic cemetery in Weisseusee, near Berlin.

He Hakes a Drsprrnte ritort to Bntcbor Bis Parents In Their Bed. Chester, Pa., July 8. In the lower section of the city this afternoon, Kirk Shepherd, a demented young man, attempt ed to kill his aged parents. With a murderous-looking knife in his hands he en tered their sleeping apartments and com menced slashing his father. His mother, becoming excited, jumped from a second story window, sustaining serious injuries. After nearly killing his father the maniac returned to his own room, in which he had several firearms and other weapons. Cries of murder from the neighbors drew a large crowd, but no one could raise courage enough to enter theiouse until two dootors arrived, who forced the door open and found Shepherd thoroughly exhausted. He was given an opiate and put to sleep. Mr. and Sirs. Shepherd are both in a precarious condition. Bird Powell, the Bandit, Caught.

When He Wanted to Get Lazy Be Only Took OS One Spur. -Youth's Companion, j Suwaroff, Russia's great military com mander, was a little man, insignificant In everything but that intangible power of mind and character with which physical strength is never to be compared. He had been sickly in his youth, but be came hardy under the stimulus of cold bath' ing and the benefits of a plain diet. Back ets of cold water were thrown over him in the morning, and bis table was served with fare which guests would tain have refused, but dared not, lest he should think them effeminate. He despised dress, and delighted in drill ing his men in his shirt-sleeve;, sometimes with his stockings literally "down at the heeL" But his hardihood of life and action had its effect on the men he commanded. He was often up and about by midnight, and would salute the first soldier whom he saw moving with a piercing cock-crow, in com mendation of his early rising. Daring the first Polish war he had given orders for an attack at cock-crow, and a spy in the camp carried the news to the enemy. The attack, however, really took place at 9 o'clock on the evening when the arrange ment had been made, for Suwaroff, suspect ing treacherv, had then turned out the troops by his well-known crowing. The enemy, expecting the event in the morning, were entirely unprepared, and fell easv victims to his forethought. To-morrow morning," said he to his troops on the evening before the storming of Ismail, "an hour before daybreak, I mean to' get up. I shall wash and dress myself, say my prayers, give one good cock crow, and then capture Ismail." It was hardly possible to find him off the alert. "Do you never take offyonr clothes at night?" he was asked, is "No," said he. "But when I get lazy and want to have a comfortable sleep, I gener ally take off one spurl" A SIORY ABOUT BISRAELL The Worthy Lord Indulged a Little and Ills Speech Was Animated. Sin Francisco Call. Lord Beaconsfield once delivered a fa mous speech in Edinburgh, which was not reported in its entirety, at all events ont of Edinburgh, for tlie very good reason that it could not be done. It was the oration in which he boasted of having educated his party a stinging' reminder for which his aristocratic following did not thank him. On this oration hangs a tale. It was de livered at a banquet, pnd the flower and chivnlry ot the Torv party was around the Premier at the head table. By some mis take, a decanter of good port instead of light claret was placed in front of the mystic statesman when liej rose to spe3k, and every time he took a sip he felt rejuve nated, and the more he took the more he felt inclined to talk in radiant spirits. With his arms folded, his eyes glowing and his manner unusually sprightly, Disraeli ponred forth column after column for hours, and the reporters were turning ont the "copy" with manufacturing rapidity far beyond the abilities of the telegraphists to cope with. The wires were gorged, the great speech only reached the newspapers in a mangled form, nrfd wherever it was read there was mystification and a considerable row. But it may be added that some of the reporters on that occasion had looked upon the wine when it was red, and their notes wer taking exercise on stilts when they came to decipher them.
