Niw Yobk, Jan. 81.—The iirst month of 1887 goes out with a record on tlie subject of labor troubles which gives bad promise for the year to follow. The week bas opened upon two forces facing each other with a spirit akin to desperation. Organized labor seeking to force measures in the interest of two branches of the order—coal handlers and 'longshoremen; and organized and unorganized capital and corporations determined, if possible, not to recognize the power or authority of the Knights of Labor.* Between the two the non-combative public are left to sutler inconvenience, and the poorer classes of at least three great cities are forced to sustain serious loss and privations. Still the fight goes on and gathers force as it goes. What could have been easily settled three weeks ago now no man can tell when it will end. Bblpast, Jan. 31.— Fieroe fighting in the streets on Saturday night and yesterday has inspired the timid with fears of a repetition of the bloody scenes enacted last year. Intense excitement prevails I la** "'cr'1*, for the most alarming rumors wCi .v. uu. a» .o the extent of the rioting. One report was that the police poured volleys on the fighting mob, killing thirty persons and wouuding more or leas seriously more than 100 others. Fortunately the story had little or no foundation. It was learned at midnight that noboly had been killed and that quiet was restored. Still no one knows what may happen. The history of previous riots in this city shows that when once the blood of the factions is up there*is no telling how much of it will be let before order is restored. Lost year it was thought several times that peace had been established only to find the rioting renewed the next day with increased vigor. Sleepers do not rest easily upon their couohes, therefore, at this time. la charged with the murder of August Bcrhle, at No. 23 Ridge street, and afterwards shlpping the mangled remains in a trunk to Baltimore, has made a full confession of the horrible tragedy to Inspector Byrnes. • After returning from the Tombs police court Satur- "Look," said the speaker, "at the difference. One lives In a marble palace with an array of servants, consorting with the O'Donohues, Crokers, Tammany Hall and Sir Money Bags, while the other, a poor priest, with (800 a year, half of which he gives to the poor, is denied the right of free speech." An extreme aversion to society has lately been noticed in him. Many of his Irish .colleagues had not seen him for months before last Thursday, his residence having been kept a secret. Great mystery surrounded his illness during the autumn. He was quite unable to take part in the affairs and stirring events of Ireland through the winter. The "plan of campaign," it is even mid, was quite unknown to him. His promised visit to Cork was always postponed. day afternoon Unger appeared very nervoni, and when near the central office he turned to Inspector Byrnes and said: "You ai-e trying to hang me, ain't your "You know whether you have committed any crime or not," the inspector replied. On reaching headquarters the prisoner was taken to his cell and lockad up. At 6 o'clock in the evening Unger was taken out of hi* cell and shown the trunk in which the remains of bis victim had been packed. The accused man shuddered at the sight of the trunk and turned away. The taw, hammer and knife were (hen shown him. The sight of the weapons with which the crime haul been committed was too much for the wretched assassin, who almost fell to the floor with fear. 5 The pria. oner was then led back to his cell again, but before being locked up Inspector Byrnes told bim that when he wa« ready to tell (he truth to let him know. A few hours elapsed, during which the wretched man was left to his meditations. At last Unger catted the turnkey and requested an interview with the inspector. The prisoner whs brought from his cell and taken to the inspector's private office, where he said be was ready to tell the whole truth. Unger then, in the presence of Inspector Byrnes and several witnesses, made the following statement of his crimd: "I live at No. 83 Ridge street I have known August Bohle since November, 1880. I first met him in my lager beer saloon in After a few words from James J. Gaban, of The Catholic Herald, Henry George said: "Let no one mistake the temper of tbia meeting, for in all times and everywhere the cry has gone up, 'It is against religion.' There is nothing in this against religion or any of its forms." Continuing, Mr. George said he had always discountenanced the scoffers Of religion and he did so now. What they bad met for was to protest against the use of arbitrary power to coerce American citizens. "Why," said the speaker, "as some of the morning papers .ask, does not Dr. Mc- Glynn leave the Catholic church! The reason is because Dr. McGlynn is still a'Catholic and the doctrines that Dr. McGlynn has stood up for are the doctrines that any Catholic bishops and priests who hold the same views that Dr. McGlynn,had been struck down for." What, however, has lent most color to the reports that Mr. Parnell's mind was disarranged is the allegation of traces of insanity in the family on the mother's slda It is stated that he has been suffering more or lees from mental strain during the past two years. _ There have been two important developments in the trouble within the last twentyfour hours. The flrst is tho action of the agents of all the leading transatlantic steamship line* in cabling to Europe a request for a.l steamships bound for America to bring over men to take the place of the striking 'longshoremen, and others here. There has been correspondent* about this plan 1)7 cable for several days, but it was not generally decided until Saturday definitely to take this step. It was ta~keu after a full discussion, and at a secret meeting. The steerage rates have now been cut on some lines to as low a figure as (6, and on the others it varies from $0 to (11. The companies can very well afford to give the berths and space In the steerage to skilled laborers who can do the work of the strikers here instead of selling passages at this low rate. Indeed, they will save money by it if the strikp continues for ten days. It was in the famous Petershill, Carrickhill and Shankhill districts, where nearly all tbe Belfast riots originated, that the present fight began. As the story goes, a number of soldiers of the West Surrey regiment, now in barracks, were perambulating the streets on Saturday night a little the worse for liquor and insulting Catholic, civilians right and left. Their taunts and jibes were tolerated for a while, but soon forbearance ceased to be a virtue, and individual protests were merged in combined murmurs of disapproval and threats of vengeance. This served only to increase the ardor of the Midlers, who grew more loud in their taunts and more exasperating in tbe ribaldry of their jests. It was too much. Belfast Catholic human nature could not stand it, and in a moment stones-were flying at the soldiers. Nothing daunted the men turndd upon their antagonists with their fists and soon a general hand-to-hand fight was going on. Br this time the police had come up in force, and their presence further incensed the mob, which began to use revolvers freely, the police being forced to fire in self defense. Pushing their way into the struggling mass each policeman seized a man and marched off with him. By this means over 100 persons were placed in the lookup, the «nly casualty on the side of thfe police being the serious wounding of a constable, who was struck on the bead with a stone. Several of the rioters were more or leas injured, but none it is thought fatally. HONESTY UNREWARDED. Chairman Belmont, of .foreign affairs, says he intends to antagonize tlie pleuro-pneumonia bill with the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill, and it is probable that he will succeed. The consular and diplomatic bill may occupy two or three days in discussion, as it proposes a reorganisation of, or certain changes in the seryico, which will meet with stern opposition. The senate bill on the fisheries question, authorizing the president to refuse admission to our ports of Canadian vessels, is expected from the committee on .foreign affairs on Wednesday  and, as it is a privileged matter, may be taken up at once. Then there arc a number of measures in conference, and any of these may be reported and taken up at any time, as they aro privileged. They are the anti- Mormon bill, the fortifications bill, the bill providing for a public building at Chattanooga, the bill restricting the ownership of lands in the territories to American citizens, the bill to tax fractional gallons of distilled spirits, the bill repealing the pre-emption, timber culture and desert land laws and the bill relating to contested elections. Chairman Herbert, of naval affairs, will some time during the week ask the hou3e to consider the naval appropriation bill, which will tako some time as it contains new matter. Bow k Buffalo Ballroad Conductor Was Buffalo, Jan. 81.—Conductor Charlee Mo- Gin ty, who runs train 4 on the Niagara Falls branch of the Central railroad, had a Mutational trip yesterday. When the train was near Buffalo Baggage Master Barnard showed him six unregistered government bonds, worth 930,000, which he had found sticking through the handle of a canvas covered trunk in the baggage car. Although the bond* were easily convertible into cash, the trainmen set about finding an .owner. The check on the trunk agreed with one in the possession of Mrs. Ayres, ajCanada lady who was going to Europe with her 80-year old grandmother and her son. Conductor McGiuty was told that he could play no swindling dodge on them wheu he asked for their checks, compared them and asked if they had lost a valuable package. Treated. Mr. George continued: "We have been told that as we are not Catholics we have no right to interfere in the present question. I contend that the question is one that interests every. American citizen no matter what his creed may be. Mo one need fear the interference of priest* in politics as long as the priest is free. During the last campaign many priests came to me and offered me their services, but they were compelled to keep silent" Dr. McGlynn, said Mr. George, the cast out, degraded priest, was to-day the best loved priest in the city of New York, and he felt sure that his admirers would stand by him. JUdridge street, where he called upon me About an advertisement I had put in a paper tor a paAner. We could not agree about the price and I sold the place out, and soon •Iter Bohle cam* to Bv» with me in Ridge ■treat The agreement was that be should It is not their purpose tqinoke a permanent importation of laborers, and the men will come with an agreement to be carried home again. But in case the strike is ended before they arrive, it is certain that this will be a fresh cause of trouble. After having brought the men here the companies will expect to give them employment. And it is not unlikely that at least part of them will decide to remain in this country, and will come with that intention. It is expected that within ten days enough foreigners will have thus been brought here—as quietly as possible, and as "crews" of the steamships—to do tho work on the wraves of the ocean carriers.The name aUo agreed, and they were asked if they owned any bonds. When showu them the daughter shrieked: "My Ood! mother, what have you_ done/1; and fainted in the conductor's arms. The old lady replied, with a sickly smile, that she hid them under the oanvas cover six months ago. The women were so excited that the depot officials had to help them aboard the New York •"flyer." The conductor and baggage master were not rewarded for their honesty. After speeches by James Quinn, master workman of District Assembly 48, and others, a series of resolutions were adopted.

I told him to stop and put my band up to turn his head away. He struck me. 1 (prang at him, and attempted to strike Mm with the poker. We then grappled and he picked up a knife and attempted to stab me. I ran into the bedroom and The resolutions, after declaring that a Catholic archbishop has forbidden clergymen to support the United labor party, while leaviug them full liberty to aid the old parties, and has ordered a venerated priest to retract the doctrins that all men have equal rights to the land of their country, proceed to denounce all attempts to drag religion into politics, and to coerce iM ministers in the exercise of their rights of citisehship, as a violation of the principle of separation of church and state. They also denounce the course taken in the McGlynn matter as implying that an American citlseo can be questioned in a foreign country for his course In American politics. They further declare that nothing could do more to compel wAkingmen to the belief that in their efforts to emancipate labor, they must rueet the opposition of organised ecclesiastical authority, than the attempt to crush Dr. McGlynn, the priest of the poor. The resolutions close by pledging support to Dr. Mc- Glynn, and appealing to the party and to all associations.of workingtnea throughout the country to join them in such support. It is not among the improbabilities that during the week Chairman Tucker, of the committee on judiciary, will ask the house to consider the bill which some weeks ago was passed by the senate, changing the presidential Inauguration day from March 4 to April 30. The committee intends to agree upon a report, if possible, on Tuesday. Chairman Tucticer, to whom as chairman of a sub-committee tbe measure was some time ago referred, is strongly in favor of the bill, but he wants some amendments to it He wants to change .the time for beginning and ending the sessions of congress. He thinks congress should meet every year about the first Tuesday or Wednesday after the first Mbnday in January and hold unlimited sessions. There is a general impression that the measure will pass. There is talk of the Randall tariff bill coming up in the house during the week, but no probability of it It appears that tbe friends of the bill cannot reach mi agreement about it, and the Republicans and Morrison Democrats are indifferent towards it Press reporter asked Mr. Randall if he thought of making an effort to secure consideration of his bill this week,|and he simply replied, with an air which seemed to indicate that he was very much at , sea about the matter; 'II have nothing to 'say on that subject.", Tlie other important development on the employers' side of the controversy was a secret meeting of representatives of the shipping and warehouse interests in Brooklyn, New York and Jersey City. The situation was discussed thoroughly, and the opinion prevailed that the'situation demanded an organization of these interests for the purpose of protecting the commerce of this pqft against the Knights of Labor. A proposition was made to form an employers' combination on the basis of an absolute refusal to employ an man who belonged to a labor union. Tbe mayor and the other authorities did their best to prevent, a renewal of the rioting last night but without success, although the affrays were small oompared with those on Saturday, and only three parsons were arrested. Tbe outbreak last night was caused by the appearance of two constables who gave evidence before the Riots Investigation Commission. They were roughly handled by a mob ana re-enforoements had to be called ont Some prisoners were taken and the crowd tried to rescue them. The police, therefore, 'were again compelled to firs in their own defense. One constable was severely wounded, and. was sent to an infirmary. The others who were injured were taken to their homes.

J., Jan. 81.—Great consternation was caused in the 10 o'clock horsecar to Riverside by an attempt to blow up the car on Bridge street Two small tin cans filled with explosives and cut glass had been (daeed on the track. One of them exploded, shaking the - car badly injuring the horses. A panic ensued among the passengers and the car was stopped, and the people, who were unhurt, alighted. A short distance ahead was another oan similarly charged, which is now in the hands of the police. Dr. Newton is engaged in making an analysis of the contents. * :i There was hope that the situation might in some way be changed by torday, and filial action was postponed until an adjourned meeting in New York at 2 o'clock this afternoon. At the meeting the leading warehousemen and agents of steamboat lines were represented—enough, it was claimed, to control the whole shipping and warehouse interests in Brooklyn, New York and New Jersey towns. BLAINE AND THE REPUBLICANS. HATED TO DIE THAT WAY, Tba Capital Prints a Story A boat But His Preference* Were Not Consulted A liltB attempt was made a week agp. It is difficult to advance any theory as to the reason for the outrage. It is probable, however, that the explosive was placed there by some one who desired to injure some person who rode on the car or as a means of showing malicious spite against the horse railroad tympany.  Availability. to any Extent. Washington, Jan. 8L—The Capital tells the following story bearing upon Mr. Blaine's availability aa a Republican nominee for the presidency: Louibvii.i.k, Jan. 8L—Two weeks ago William Cornish, a farmer, living near Springfield, Ky., on being rejected by Hiss Lota Green, to whom he had proposed marriaged, drew a pistol and shot Miss Green t hrough the heart Cornish escaped, but was c*ptnred on Friday last and confined in the ttprlngfteld JaiL Feeling ran high and Cornish, hoping to soften the indignation, feigned, instanity, and made a violent attack ou the jailer in support of his ruse. Saturday night about 12 o'clock, a band of thirty-five masked men rode into the little town and direct to the jail. The jailer refused to surrender the keys, and the mob, seizing the blacksmith's tools in a neighboring shop, broke down the doors of the jail And cell. Placing the prisoner's mancled hands on an anvil they freed him from the floor. He recognised one of his assailants as an old acquaintance, and calling him by name said he hated to die this way. No answer was given and no further appeal was made. In silfence he was mounted before one of the mob and taken about two miles from town and hung to a convenient tree. His body was cut down by the sheriff and held for his ffcinily. ml M« rubber on the floor and put the flKiy on top of it I then started to cot the body up with tile «aw. I first severed the I head from the body, wrapped it up in paper and laid it aside. I than cut both legs off, Dand I think the left arm, and finding the legs i too long to put in the trunk, I out both feet •off and placed the bod/ on top of the legs, . and the arms on top of the body. I wiped up the blood with some papers, put them in the trunk and tied the trunk up. I then left the house and want to the Grand street ferry, "The mistake that the Knights of Labor have made," said a prominent gentleman, who was not willing to have his name made known, but who spoke authoritatively of the meeting, "the mistake the Knights have made is the universality of this strikei Heretofore they struck in one industry. A rival industry was not hurt, and was indifferent if not positively glad. Thus one class of employers was successfully worked against another class. This process could go on always, and always with considerable success. But now everybody Is the victim of this strike. No industry is exempt No Interest, profits directly or indirectly by it, and the most bitter rivals in business are brought together.by the necessity of self-defense. William Walter Phelps professes to doubt the fact that Mr. Blaine is certain to be a candidate for the presidential nomination in 1888. He says that Mr. Blaine will be a candidate if it is clearly decided by the Re publican leaders that his nomination Is a necessity to party sucoess in the election. He was talking recently to a group of Republican representatives who happened to be otherwise than strong Blaine men. They were canvassing the availability of other candidates in case that Blaine was out of the way. "Gentlemen," said Mr. Phelps, "here are seven of you. If you will, within twentyfour hoars, agree on a man that will, in your judgment, be stronger than Blaine at the polls, I will, within a few days, or as quickly as the mails can bring it, give yon a letter from Mr. Blaine that will absolutely preclude him from being a candidate before the convention in 1888." Killed Her Husband la 8elfDDefense. Stokxsdals Junction, Pa., Jan. 81.— Mrs. Esther Van Wort, the 16-year-old wife who shot and killed her husband, Jacob Van Wort, on last Wednesday, was indicted for murder on Friday and tried and aoquitted on Saturday. The witnesses proved that she acted in self-defense and Judge Williams instructed the jury to acquit her. The verdict was received with great cheering by the people in. the oourt room. Van Wort hod unmercifully beaten his wife. She fled from the house, and her husband intercepted her and threatened to kill her unless sho returned home. He approached her threateningly and she shot him dead. A NEW FASHIONED BURIAL. Grave Kobbera Stand no Sort of m Buftal/), Jan.31.—The funeral of David II. Thomas, late division superintendent of (he Erie railroad, took place at Suspension bridge fternoon. A delegation of Uuffalo people, including the board of health, were present to witness the new entiseplic process of "cementatiou" which the remains were to be treated to. The grave dug was sixteen inches longer, wider and deeper than sufficient to receive the casket. Eight inches of wment were then put in the open grave bhd the ontef 'Case was lowered so as to set tquarfely upon the cement, leaving a uiiniature eight and half inch trench about tbe case, the upper surface of it being eight inches lower than the surface of the ground. The trench was then' tilled with cement and the casket lowered into the case. The cover vau screwed on and eight inches more of cement placed over it, bringing the surface of tlie cement level with the ground. Tho prootii produced a favorable impression on the blDectator8. The new process by which it v. ox at first proposed to bury the body was lCD pJ nee fine sulphur and powdered charcoal «irh alcohol between the casket and the outer case, then setting fire to it, then screwicg the Hd on, tho object being to absorb all liquids in the body, and neutralize tho gas arising. The gas generated by the bunting sulphur would prevent decomposition of' the body. Among other advantages, burial by cementatiou secures the body from the attacks of grave robbers, as the cement soon after being laid become* aa bard as rock. Show. .carrying the head with me. I boarded a , .WUhainsburg boat, and when in midstream I threw the bead into the Mver. I then went to the residence of alary Biegsi, No. 206 Throqp avenue, .Brooklyn,.but on finding that he was not \well I told his wife that Bohie had gone to Chicago. I returned home, and on the following day I shipped the trunk to Henry iBense, No. 8U5 Kent avenue. Brooklyn. On tlbe same day I transferred the trunk by iWeatcotfs express to this city, having pasted tho following addrees upon it: 'John A. Wilson, Baltimore, lid., to be called for.' The trunk was brought to this city and transgswtoi) .by Adams express to Baltimore. I did not mean to kill Bohle. He was a very quarrelsome man, and I believed my life in dauger when be struck me. I took the method I did of disposing of the body because J wanted to save myself and family from disgrace.71 "I am not opposed to labor organizations," this gentleman continued. "The firm of which I am a member has employed union men, and has granted their demands time and again. But now they make no demands. They simply sacrifice our business to show their sympathy with a few strikers in New Jersey, with whom we have nothing more to do than with the mail in the moon. Huch a power as this must be crushed. If the Knights of Labor organize to stop the commerce of New York, the shipping and wareliou.se interests of New York must organize to prevent them from doing it One side has Ute same right to organise that the other side has." Is the Winter Ended T Portland, Me., Jan. 81.—Rains havo continued for several hours, and reports from all parts of the state say that the snow is fast disappearing, and that the ioe In many ponds and rivers is breaking upw Many lumbermen are taking teams from the woods, something which has rarely been done in Maine so early in the season. Should winter not again sot in the damage to Maine's lumber interests will be immense. In many places it is feured damage will result from freshets. Large flocks of robins and wild geese are appearing, and this makes many believe the winter is ended. The group separated until the next seven days, when the representatives were obliged to acknowledge that not more than two of thekn could agree on a name that would carry more weight at the polls than that of Blaine. Mr. Phelps laughed and said he tried the proposition more than once before with the same result He took care, however, to withdraw the offer to produce the letter of declination.  Madison, Wis., Jan. 81.— In the United S'-atea district court Mrs. Sarah R. Angle was awarded tliol '.t ri against the Chicago, Portago and Su, • i r railroad. She is the widow of H. G. A V who held the contract for building sixt.v-1 mile* of the company's road when a i .Mitrolling interest in the company's stock was purchased by the Chicago, St Paul, Minneapolis and Ornaba railroad. The legislature also turned over the former's extensive laud grant in this state to the latter Aompany. As soon as consolidation occurred Angle was forced to quit work and died. His widow, as executrix of his estate, then brought suit against the defunct compauy. A motion for a new trial was made. The Omaha land grant will probably be made liable for the judgment A Heavy Award. And the workingmen reply to this in the same language. They claim that the coal companies have organised to control the output of coal and thus limit the volume of labor. Then the dealers form a syndicate on prices and leave a small margin of profit to pay labor. When the coal laborers struck for an advance the dealers found other men to handle their coal. The only hope, therefore, the men had of gaining their end was to prevent a sals of the coal thus handled. That could only be done by shutting down factories and stopping transshipment to and carting from the yards. This end is sought through the medium of the fraternal relationship of the order of the Knights of tabor. Thus stands tba two questions, or rather the two sides to the one great question—reason one way or the other now will not settle it It will be a question of endurance, and the present week will bo watched as no other period has been for many a'day to seo what will come out of the present crisis between capital and organized labor. linger identified the trunk and bloody clothing brought from Baltimore. The coroner's inquest in the matter will be teld Tuesday.  Armour Discharging Man. Chicago, .Jan. 81.—The dismissal of sixtyfive men from the killing department in Armour & Co. 's packing house is causing considerable comment The men, it is claimed, are all unionists, who have been discharged to make way for non-unionists. The story in connection with the case is that on Friday a force of fifty man, brought to Packingtown at the time of the recent trouble, went to Superintendent Cudahy and told him that if they were discharged, or were not given regular work, they would sue the firm. It was on this account, together with the fact that work was slow, th&t the others were discharged, it is claimed. But few people are aware of the sufferings of the people on on account of the last strike. Good positions were sacrificed, and in sorfte Instances men have been unable to- secure employment sinoe.
