"I have information," said the inspector, "that a dozen m'en living not far from police headquarters have brought thieves here, bonk sneaks, bunco steerers, second story thieves, and criminals of about every class, and will go their bail if they are arrested. Their partnership with the thieves calls for a percentage of the profits. A large number of thieves have already arrived here, and are hived on Coney Island. I shall ask the police board for the services of seventyfive ward detectives and twenty policemen who are informed about thieves. These, with ray personal staff of fifty, will make 145 men under my charge.

The pews, the aisles and all the adjoining rooms were thronged and multitudes in the street could not gain an entrance. Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, D. D., preached on the subject "Aromatics for Easter." Tbe pulpit and galleries of the church had elaborate floral decorations. The congregation sang the opening hymn: "Passengers and crew of SS. Danmark landed at the Asorea. Three hundred and forty of passengers are on steamer Missouri, bound for Philadelphia. Beet to follow by the next steamer." Serious Blots in Vienna. Vienna, April 22.—Nearly all of the carmen of Vienna have struck work. They are receiving the active sympathy of the Socialists, and under their influence and leadership ythey precipitated a series of serious riots in the suburbs. The military and police charged upon the mob with drawn swords and a terrific fight ensued. A large number of the rioters were wounded and much blood wai spilled. The crowd replied to the attacks of the police and soldiers with showers of stonea, severely injuring many of them. The mofc was finally dispersed and about 100 of them were arrested. "That may be a very good claim," said the president jocosely, "but I have a still belter one that comes from the south, I received a letter a few days ago from a person who said that my grandfather knew his grandfather and h»d promised to help him. He thought, therefore, that I ought to consider the agreement as devolving upon me, and accordingly asked for an office," An Interview with the Third Mate. jsbon, April 22.—Forty-two of the crew and 890 passengers of the Danmark have arrived here. An additional squad of mounted police was sent to the spot from the central station and after a lively fight, during which the policemen made a vigorous and indiscriminate use of their clubs, the mob was dispersed. No shots were fired. About thirty-five men were arrested. We praise thee, O God, for the Son of thy love, In an interview, Peter Rabsen, third mate of the steamship Danmark, related the circumstances of the less of that vessel. Her engines, he stated, broke down on April 4 while the vessel was 800 miles from Newfoundland. Engineer Kaas was found lying dead on the floor of the engine room and the cause of the accident could not be ascertain«t. On April 5 the Danmark was spoken by the Missouri, which towed the Danmark until April & "The Danmark was then settling down," Rabsen states, "and we asked the Missouri to take our passengers. The Missouri, as she was loaded, had room for only twenty additional persons, bat she jettisoned her cargo and took us all on board—800 of us—landtag us at Azorea She then proceeded for Philadelphia, taking 840 of the passengers, besides the captain and sailors. Three of the engineers proceeded to London on board the Demerara steamer. The first and second mates are still at Azores, and the remaining passengers and forty-two sailors sailed for Lihon on the steamer Acor." They will have a race with the cowboys and speculators for the fertile fields along the banks of the Cimarron, but as the ones who are going into the interior are well mounted, they are confident of finally winning the homes for which they have been struggling "If people will use ordinary precaution," continued the inspector, "I think they will be safe from thieves. Merchants should leave at least one trusted employe in their stores at night, or whenever the store is olosed, ana similar advice may be given to housekeepers. People living in fiats shou d be oareful not to admit strangers or any men who say they have ooroe to examine the gas meter or water pipes. Those who go out to see the parade should not wear jewelry and should leave their valuables at home." For Jesus who died and is now gone above. Dr. Talmage took two texts, Luke xxiv, 1: "Bringing the spices which they had prepared." I Corinthians xv, 53: "The trumpet shall sound." He said: Nationalist Demonstration In Ireland. After this serious trouble Chief of Police Brackett ordered the cars on all lines stopped for the day. The strikers claim that not ope of their numb r participated in the riot and that they heartily disapprove of such actions taken by their sympathizers. Enchanting work bare I before me this Easter morning, for, imitating these women of the text, who brought aromatics to the mausoleum of Christ, I am going to unroll frankincense and balm and ottar of ro6es and cardamon from the East Indies and odors from Arabia, and, when we can inhale no more of the perfume, then we will talk of sweet sounds and hear from the musio that shall wake the dead, (laving on other Eastsrs described the whole scene, I need only in four or flv« sentences say: Christ was lying ftft oa his back, lifeless, amidst sculptured rocks, rocks oyer him, rocks under him, and a door of rooks all bounded by the flowers and fountairs of Joseph's country seat. Then a bright Immortal, hnving descended from heaven, quick and flashing as a falling meteor, picks up the door of rock $nd puts it aside as though it were a phair and sits on it. Then Christ unwraps himself of his mortuary apparel and takes the turban from his head and folds it up deliberately and lays it down in one place, and then puts the shroud in another place, and comes out and flnds that the soldiers who had been on guard are lying around, pallid and in a dead swoon, their swords bent and useless. The Illustrious prisoner of the tomb is discharged and flve hundred people see him at once. An especial oongress of ecclesiastics called pay a bribe to the resuscitated soldiers to say that there was no resurrection, and that while they were overcome of slumber the Christians had played resurrectionists and stolen the corpse. The Maryaarv at the tomb with aromatics, Dublin, April 22.—The Nationalist demonstration which it was proposed to hold at Pilltown, County Wexford, but which had been proclaimed by the authorities, was held successfully at Ski ugh, a small place in the immediate vicinity of Pilltown. The police were completely outwitted and did not learn of the meeting until it was about over. While the crowd were returning from the meeting, headed by a band of music, they were charged upon by a squad of hussars and dispersed, but nobody was injured. Anxiety About the Monongahela. Washington, April 33.—The non arrival of the Monongahela at Samoa has caused considerable uneasiness In nary oiroles. The ship has now been out over sixty days, and no word of her arrival has been. received. The Monongahela left San Pranclsoo Feb, 18, loaded with uteres, and in addition carried a large deck load of ooal for the use of the fleet now unfortunately destroyed. The distance from San Francisco to Apia is 4,300 miles, and with favorable winds, such as prevail at this season, she ought to make the voyage in at least forty days. Under date of April 16 a cablegram was received from Lieut Wilson at Auckland announcing that he had chartered a V8SC el to carry the shipwrecks t mfin to San qqtt)jng Wa* said about the Mpipugahela. A number qf naval officers were seen last night and they were of the opinion that the ship, seeing the approach of the storm stood off from the land and went to »ea, There can be no question but that the ship was in the track of the hurricane, and when the gale came on was in the vicinity of Samoa. The condition of the Monongahela is none pf the best, apd it if this fapl that causes so muoh anxiety, so many years. Capt. Hayes, who is here with his company of troopers, rode down toward the Rock Island track yesterday to consiflt with Capt. Woodson relative to the best means to be adopted for preventing bloodshed. The captain has tried to find out s Dmething about the plans of the boomers, but the latter have been reticent in talking to him. Each man }tnows what he is going to do, but is afraid to say anything about it, lest his lieighbor might profit by his words. Capt. Hayes regards th' silence as ominous, for he believes it will result in 900fUa!on and turmoil, and finally In bloodshed. l ears of Bloodshed. A TERRIBLE CRIME. FATAL FIRE IN DETROIT.

Wood, of Mason county, is an industrious and sturdy farmer who by hard and regular work has been able to support his wife and five children and save a few hundred dollars besides.

He delivered a lecture in Dr. Rutherford's church in Newcastle yesterday, and will make a tour of Scotland next week, beginning in Edinburgh on Monday. As compared with his previous visits to England Mr. George's success on his present visit has been almost phenomenal. Henry Gsorge's Success. Disarming the lloomers. The Missouri Arrives. He is now considering the advisability of disarming every man along the line, and if Capt. Woodson acquiesces in his views he will send out his troops with orders to scarch wagons and confiscate all arms that are found. If the plau is adhered to the captain's collection of shooting implements will i)e the biggest in the west, for there is not a wagon on the Cherokee strip that does not ppntain a Winchester, a shot gun or a brace of six shooters.

Philadelphia, April 22.—The steamer Missouri with part of the passengers of the steamer Danmark has just arrived at the Delaware Breakwater. The Mews la London. London, April 22. —Although there were no English passengers on the Danmark,Interest in the fate of those on board that unfortunate vessel has been intense hare. The afternoon papers got out extras, containing special dispatches announcing the safety of the Danmark's passengers and crew, and their sale was enormous. Bulletins were displayed in front of the various newspaper offices, and the crowds which surrounded them blocked the streets. Ultypllans Routed by Arabs. Cairo, April 2?.— A party of Egyptians who were building a fort at Port Haliab, on t'ue Nile, were reoently attacked by a strong band of Soudanese Although the Egyptians were well armed, the Arabs defeated then] and forced them to take refuge on board the steamer Agaroi, lying in the river. The Egyptian party lost ten men killed and wounded. Sympathizing friends then joined him in his search for his family. As a last resort they turned toward the spot where the dwelling had stood. Wood's family consisted of his wife, three sons and two daughters. Wood declared it was not possible for his family to sleep while the house was burning, as his wife did not sleep soundly, and any noise would awaken her. The mystery was goon solved. Axes and clubs and two large bowie knives, all stained with blood, were found. Then fit'a short'distance they found the trpnk in which Wood kept his money, ft ba4 been broken open and rifled. Enough bones were rajjed frPW the asljes to prove, with the blood stained weapons, that the family of six ba4 been murdered and then burned with the building. When this dit» covery was made Wood fainted, and it was necessary to carry him away. There are as yet no clues to the perpetrators of the terrible crime. The National Temperance Hospital How. Washington, April £2.—A suit is about to be begun in the name of the st ite of Illinois against Miss Francis E. Willard, Mrs. Caro-. line Buell and Miss Esther Pugh, in which the legality of their seizure of the National Temperance Hospital last January will be inquired into. The National Temperance Hospital was organized in 188J under a chafer rrhK'h yests the manngewnt' of the corporate interests entirely in the bqard pf trustees of the association. The object of the founders, atqong whom were fir. Mary Weefci Purnett, Mrs. J5, N. Peters aftd others, was to demonstrate that aloqhol was not needed in medioine, The expense has been almost wholly borne by the trustees, but since the hospital has been fairly established it has aroused much interest among temperance women, and especially the W. C. T. U., and some contributions have lately been made by the local uniora throughout the country, The whole front of the building was instantly aflame. Robert McCarroll, day clerk, jumped through a window and was slightly burned. A face appeared at one of the second story windows framed in flre and smoke. The, crowd yelled to the man to jump, but a wayy of smoke hid from view and when it foiled away h® had disappeared. Robert pries*, night clerl?, was awakened by the smoke and flames, He climbed through a skylight and clutching the eaves of an adjacent building pulled himself up to a place of safety, Emerson J. Gibson, an ex-Alderman, was found at the head of the second story stairs smothered, but not burned. In one of the second story rooms were found the remains of William Whittaker (colored). It was he who had appeared at the window, Near the front of the bui.ding Andrew Bolia was found with his face horribly charred. He had entered, the hotel only an hour before (Vnil gone to bed. The damage to the building will nqt exceed $3,0QQ, The booifters did little yesterday tut hunf for shelters from the sun, which came down like midsummer. At night camp fires were burning low, and only a few shadowy figures were jj) sight. Nearly everybody was asleep. They needed 'est to lie able to join successfully in to-day's confusion a»d tyrnioij. Arkansas Crry, Kan., April Merritt is said to have issued orders to his command to take possession of all firearms found upon the persons of the boomers, the same to be held by Gen. Merritt during the excitement of entering the new territory. Orders Jiave also been issued to rigidly exclude all frptp the camps. SYMBOLISM Or THE FLOWERS. A MY8TERY CLEARED AWAY. Dublin, April 22.—Thirteen families who had been evicted from their homes at Falcarragh, but had regained possession of their holdings, were re-evicted en Saturday. The bailiffs made thi#ir visits at 5 o'clock in the rooming and toojk the (jjmates of the houses by surprise. Roue, April ai.—Premier Cfispi has In. vited M. Floquot and his wire, together jvlth the French embassy at Rome, to become his guests at a banquet to-night. Cable Flashes. Why did not these women of the text bring thorns and nettles, for these would mcro thoroughly have expressed the piercing sorrows of themselves and their Lord? Why did they not bring some national ensign such as that of the Roman eagle, typical of conquest? No, they bring aromatic; suggestive to me of the fact that the Gospel is to sweeten and deodorize the world. The world has so much of putrefaction and malodor that Christ is going to. roll over H waves of frankincense and sprinkle it all over with sweet smelling myrrh. Thousands of years before this Solomon had said that Christ was a lily and Isaiah had declared that under the Gospel the desert would bloom like the rose, but the world was slow to take the floral hint And so now the women of the text bring hands full and arms full of redolence and perhaps unwittingly confirm and emphasize the lesson of deodorization. When Christ's Gospel has conquered the earth the last offense to the olfactories will have left the world; sweet, pure air will have blown through every home and churches will be freed from the curse of ill ventilation and the world will, become two great gardens, the empurpled and emblazoned and emparadised hemispheres. Bin is a buzzard, holiness is a dove. Sin is nightshade, holiness is a flower. If you are trying to reform the world open the windows of that tenement bouse and pour through it a draught of God's pure atmosphere and set a geranium or a heliotrope on the window sill; cleanse the air and you will help cleanse the soul. How dare the world so often insult that feature of the human face which God has made the most prominent feature in human physiognomy I To prove how he himself loves (uromatics t bring the fact that there are millions of flowers on prairies and in mountain fastnesses the fragrance of which no human being ever breathes, and he must have grown them there for his own regalement. And for the compliment the world paid Christ by giving him a sepulcher in Joseph's garden he will yet make the whole earth a garden. Tes, he expressed his delight with fragrance in the first book of the Bible, when he said, "The Lord smelled a sweet savor;" and he filled the air of the ancient taU rnaolC* and temple with sweet incense; and t}". e are small bottles of perfume in heaven described in Revelations as golden vials full of odors. I preach an ambrosial gospel which will yet extirpate from the world all foulness and rancidity and the last noisomenees and the last mephitic gas. Glad am I that though the world had chiefly spikes for the Saviour's feet and thorns for the Saviour's brow, the magi put frankincense upon his cradle and the Marys brought frankincense for his grave. Tidings of the Bark Wandering Minstrel and Ber Crew. CUji Francisco, April 22.—The British bark Wandering Minstrel, which sailed from Hooolalu Deo. 10, 1887, has been heard from.

Proposed Changes In the Navy Department. Washington, April 22. — The Sunday Herald says; "There is no truth in the report thftt Secretary Tracy proposes to make a general overhauling of the entDre bur.au system of the navy department He is very desirous of making several changes in the bureau officers, so as to have them more in accord with his progressive ideas regarding the navy, but further than that no sweeping change is indicated.

They will have a race with the cowboys and speculators for the fertile fields along the banks of the Cimarron, but as the ones who are going into the interior are well mounted, they are confident of finally winning the homes for which they have been struggling "If people will use ordinary precaution," continued the inspector, "I think they will be safe from thieves. Merchants should leave at least one trusted employe in their stores at night, or whenever the store is olosed, ana similar advice may be given to housekeepers. People living in fiats shou d be oareful not to admit strangers or any men who say they have ooroe to examine the gas meter or water pipes.

Enchanting work bare I before me this Easter morning, for, imitating these women of the text, who brought aromatics to the mausoleum of Christ, I am going to unroll frankincense and balm and ottar of ro6es and cardamon from the East Indies and odors from Arabia, and, when we can inhale no more of the perfume, then we will talk of sweet sounds and hear from the musio that shall wake the dead, (laving on other Eastsrs described the whole scene, I need only in four or flv« sentences say: Christ was lying ftft oa his back, lifeless, amidst sculptured rocks, rocks oyer him, rocks under him, and a door of rooks all bounded by the flowers and fountairs of Joseph's country seat. Then a bright Immortal, hnving descended from heaven, quick and flashing as a falling meteor, picks up the door of rock $nd puts it aside as though it were a phair and sits on it. Then Christ unwraps himself of his mortuary apparel and takes the turban from his head and folds it up deliberately and lays it down in one place, and then puts the shroud in another place, and comes out and flnds that the soldiers who had been on guard are lying around, pallid and in a dead swoon, their swords bent and useless. The Illustrious prisoner of the tomb is discharged and flve hundred people see him at once. An especial oongress of ecclesiastics called pay a bribe to the resuscitated soldiers to say that there was no resurrection, and that while they were overcome of slumber the Christians had played resurrectionists and stolen the corpse.

Washington, April £2.—A suit is about to be begun in the name of the st ite of Illinois against Miss Francis E.

The National Temperance Hospital was organized in 188J under a chafer rrhK'h yests the manngewnt' of the corporate interests entirely in the bqard pf trustees of the association. The object of the founders, atqong whom were fir. Mary Weefci Purnett, Mrs. J5, N. Peters aftd others, was to demonstrate that aloqhol was not needed in medioine, The expense has been almost wholly borne by the trustees, but since the hospital has been fairly established it has aroused much interest among temperance women, and especially the W. C. T. U., and some contributions have lately been made by the local uniora throughout the country, The whole front of the building was instantly aflame. Robert McCarroll, day clerk, jumped through a window and was slightly burned. A face appeared at one of the second story windows framed in flre and smoke. The, crowd yelled to the man to jump, but a wayy of smoke hid from view and when it foiled away h® had disappeared. Robert pries*, night clerl?, was awakened by the smoke and flames, He climbed through a skylight and clutching the eaves of an adjacent building pulled himself up to a place of safety, Emerson J. Gibson, an ex-Alderman, was found at the head of the second story stairs smothered, but not burned. In one of the second story rooms were found the remains of William Whittaker (colored).

Dublin, April 22.—Thirteen families who had been evicted from their homes at Falcarragh, but had regained possession of their holdings, were re-evicted en Saturday.

Floquot and his wire, together jvlth the French embassy at Rome, to become his guests at a banquet to-night. Cable Flashes. Why did not these women of the text bring thorns and nettles, for these would mcro thoroughly have expressed the piercing sorrows of themselves and their Lord? Why did they not bring some national ensign such as that of the Roman eagle, typical of conquest? No, they bring aromatic; suggestive to me of the fact that the Gospel is to sweeten and deodorize the world. The world has so much of putrefaction and malodor that Christ is going to. roll over H waves of frankincense and sprinkle it all over with sweet smelling myrrh. Thousands of years before this Solomon had said that Christ was a lily and Isaiah had declared that under the Gospel the desert would bloom like the rose, but the world was slow to take the floral hint And so now the women of the text bring hands full and arms full of redolence and perhaps unwittingly confirm and emphasize the lesson of deodorization. When Christ's Gospel has conquered the earth the last offense to the olfactories will have left the world; sweet, pure air will have blown through every home and churches will be freed from the curse of ill ventilation and the world will, become two great gardens, the empurpled and emblazoned and emparadised hemispheres. Bin is a buzzard, holiness is a dove. Sin is nightshade, holiness is a flower. If you are trying to reform the world open the windows of that tenement bouse and pour through it a draught of God's pure atmosphere and set a geranium or a heliotrope on the window sill; cleanse the air and you will help cleanse the soul. How dare the world so often insult that feature of the human face which God has made the most prominent feature in human physiognomy I To prove how he himself loves (uromatics t bring the fact that there are millions of flowers on prairies and in mountain fastnesses the fragrance of which no human being ever breathes, and he must have grown them there for his own regalement. And for the compliment the world paid Christ by giving him a sepulcher in Joseph's garden he will yet make the whole earth a garden. Tes, he expressed his delight with fragrance in the first book of the Bible, when he said, "The Lord smelled a sweet savor;" and he filled the air of the ancient taU rnaolC* and temple with sweet incense; and t}". e are small bottles of perfume in heaven described in Revelations as golden vials full of odors. I preach an ambrosial gospel which will yet extirpate from the world all foulness and rancidity and the last noisomenees and the last mephitic gas. Glad am I that though the world had chiefly spikes for the Saviour's feet and thorns for the Saviour's brow, the magi put frankincense upon his cradle and the Marys brought frankincense for his grave.
