A freight car was found thrown across the track leading from the rolling mills to the Lake Shore track. The railroad company sent orders to Elkhart, Inct, to have the local freight stop at South Chicago and switch all cars loaded with .coke consigned to the rolling mills into the mill yards. When the local arrived the engineer was requested to sidetrack his train, which he did without a murmur. When the dummy reached: South Chicago with a few Lake Shore officials word was given to oommence switching the ooke cars. The engineer of the local ran his engine to where the freight car was off the track, and with aid succeeded in clearing the track. But no sooner had this difficulty been overcome when it was learned that a train of six freight cars had been mysteriously switched across the tracks leading to tile mills where it crosses a track near Ninety-third street. DEN/ STATEMENTS ATTRIBUTED TO THEM IN "THE HERALD." London, April 33.—Mr. Josaph Chamberlain addressed an immense gathering of people at Birmingham last evening. Hi- speech was mainly a repetition of his previous utterances on the subject of home rule, and there was nothing in it to indicate definitely what course he intended to pursue in tho future. He warned his hearerd that Mr. Paraell would not regard any settlement of the question of Irish government as permanent that did not enable the Irish party to sever the last link which binds Ireland and England together. No free people, he said, are worthy of the name whff- would quietly submit to such restrictions upon tboir repressive authority as Mr. Gladstone proposes. He favored the presence of the Irish representatives in the Westminster parliament and said he would cheerfully support Mr. Gladstone if the Irish proposals were sufficiently modified. The proposal to issue £60,000,000 for the purchase of land la Iraland he characterized as absurd. It would require at least £160,000,000, and that sum he was unwilling to consent to. Rather than oo-operate in the imposition of such a burden upon the taxpayers as the issue of to enormous an amount would involve, he would forevfcr resign his influence and his place in British politics. Mr. Chamberlain admitted the neoeesity for certain changes in the present system of governing Ireland, And said he would be glad to concede to Ulster a separate assembly. A resolution was passed unanimously indorsing Mr. Chamberlain's views. Rl!- Meeting.

Mr. H. T. Sperry, the newly-appointed insurancttcommissioner, is one' of the proprietors of the Post. This year he lias been attacked by insurance journals in New York and by certain patties in Connecticut on account of the insarance advertising referred to. It was claimed by them that this was not a seemly thing for an insurance commissioner to do, even though he had .not yet assumed office, and would not until July next. Governor Harrison has been so annoyed and embarrassed by the crusades of Mr. 8perry's enemies that the latter has tendered his resignation, to take effect at once, and it has been accepted. Islander to Shame. lted With Saying About the O. A. K. Nrw York, April 2a—A Scran ton disoatcb of last night says: The trial Of John Mc Andrews and his wife on the charge of murder, In fiRvblg caused the death of ft 18* year-old girl named Mary Gaughara, who had been entrusted to them soma time ago, la now progressing In the court* of this county, and has resulted in soma"thrilling revelations ctf the cruelty and inhumanity practiced by the prisoners upon their helpless little ward. The testimony of Mary Oaughan's brother Prank, a bright child of 11 years, created a genuine sensation and filled many eyes with tears. The boy said that for about one month after he and his sister were adopted by the Mo Andrews' they were treated very well Then his sister began to be abused by the entire family. His sister Mary was sent long distances in her bare feet is frosty weather for water and coal. After a while she was not permitted to occupy a bed, "bat was made to sleep on the floor on a ted made of meal bags, with no covering ovwr her. This bed she occupied until the day she died Her chief clothing was a thin calico drees. Her diet consisted entirely of mush, which she made herself, and was compelled to eat from a pail on the floor with her fingers. She had charge of the pigs and chickens, and had to prepare their food and give it to them. Sometimes she wore a shawl across her shoulders, but at no time since last fall was she permitted to wear shoaB or stockings. On the Saturday evening before she died McAndrews heated a poker until it was red and rubbed it upon her teeth, saying that if her ghost returned to this world after her death, he would be able to identify her. On Sunday he asked her where she would like to be buried. She replied, with her father. He last saw his sister at 5 o'clock on the morning of her death. She was lying on the floor, and had no bed clothing over her. She asked him to lift her head upon a pillow, and to place the family dog upon herfeet to keep them warm. The children of the house maltreated her, and one day put a bit in her mouth and MmonH her around the house. He complained of this treatment to McAndre«, but the latter replied they might kill her Tor all he cared. The Sunday before she died Mo- Andrews removed Mary's clothing, put her in a tub of water and then beat her irlth a horse Whip. This terrible story was corroborated by the neighbors, and Coroner Dean, who examined the body of Mary Oaughan immediately after her death, testified that she died of starvation and neglect. Washington, April 23,—The following correspondence has taken place between the chairman of the National Veterans' Rights union and Senators Edniur. 1- and Hoar respecting recently published ruports of the utterances of these senators in executive session. Both senators were placed in an attitude of hostility toward several suspended Ohio internal revenue collectors, ex-Union soldiers, and in this connection Senator Bdmunds was reported to have surprised his Republican friends by declaring that the "soldier business" was about played out, and that no one but demagogues attempted any longer to make political capital by appealing to the soldier element ' Senator Hoar was reported to have taken the same position, declaring that the "G. A. R. had become as dangerous an Institution as the Knights of Labor, and as a political machine kept the men who were not: , willing to vote all the money in the treasury for pensions in a state at moral terrorism:" New York, April 22.—The Grand Army of the Republic of the state of New York, represented by a thousand "bronzed and battle-scarred veterans, opened its twentieth annual encanlpment yesterday at the Metropolitan lioteL Five hundred and ninety posts in different parts of the state had sent delegates, and the corridor of the hotel presented a perfect kaleidoscope of blue coats, brass buttons, gilt braid, red sashes and badges of many colors.

It was a grave error, but, I think, nothing mora. It was done openly and not in aeoret, and that fact of itself should relieve him of the suspicion of bad intentions. It put him, however, in an equivocal position from which it was important that he should deliver himself, and that he has dona" . It was rumored that one of the strikers had borrowed a Pittsburg and Fort Wayne engine and done the work himself. One of the strikers, when asked how the cars got there, laid: "They dropped in."

Sr. Louis, April 2a—The staying out qualities of the strikers is beginning to have its effect upon the new men, and they commence to feel somewhat like quitting work themselves, because they see no hope of the strike breaking. The railway companies this week concluded to quit paying "war" price* for labor, and have reduced wages about one half. The consequence is that non-union men are quitting in considerable numbers. The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy has lost Almost its entire force, some of the men declaring the company has broken faith with them, and that they would work no longer. Six men left the Louisville and Nashville, and that road has succeeded in getting out but one train of freight Biz men quit the Bast St. Louis and Carondelet road, and the superintendent is acting as a brakeman.

It is quite Impracticable for any one In public life to undertake to defend himself from misrepresentations and falsehoods appearing from time to time in the newspapers, and we have long made it a rule to take no notice of such publications. The deep gratitude, however, that we feel is due to the soldiers of the republic, and the high character of your organization lead us to reply to your note by saying that the whole statement in The Herald relating to us or either of us is a pure unqualified falsehood, both in substance and form, fabricated from nothing but the mind Of the writer, and utterly unworthy of attention in any quarter. The men' were ordered by the committee to keep away from the refineries, as a subcommittee has been appointed to treat with the employers. Department Commander H.

The letter concludes as follows: "In my judgment your report of the deplorable moral and physical condition of the schools is largely overdrawn and imaginative; and I can only patiently wait, as I ask the public to, until legislative authority shall by a fair, impartial and exhaustive investigation remove from these important and worthy objects of the state's bounty the fearful shadows which your report has cast upon them."
