In his cable message asking leave of absence Mr. Belmont says he intends to return to Madrid after the ceremonies to receive and show proper courtesies to Senator Palmer, his successor.ft Jersey Citt, May 3.—Now that centennial festivities are over, everybody is getting down to business again, and the charter fighters have drawn themselves up In battle array to resume afresh the struggle for the possession of the city offices. The first move was made yesterday. Sen ator Edwards is engaged in an Industrie search for Chief Justice Beasley. It had been arranged that he and ex-Governor Abbett should go to Trenton to consult him but inquiries, made probably by wire in Trenton, brought the information that the chief jastice was not at home and Senator Edwards had gone to Belvidere, to which place the chief justice is faid to have hied himself. Chicao:D, May 2. —The Carter case assumed a sensational turn again. The trial has progressed to Leslie Carter's cross libel, in which he charg&i his wife with misconduct with Dudley S.

Shingles. Cord Wood, Chicago, May 2.—One hundred thousand men, women and children were tossed in waves about the big lake front park. Half a hundred people are known to have been seriously hart and a number perhaps fatally. Scores of others suffered painful injuries. 7he people were massed in walls as solid as the frowning stones of the auditorium against which they were hurled when the first strong blow of excitement broke the great mob into scores of tremendous crushes and stampedes. Under the glare of the fireworks, which the throng had gathered to see, the faces of thousands of women showed white and pleading. The shrieks of children, trampled under foot, could be plainly heard above the booming of the big boombs and the cheers of the unaffected parts of the vast assemblage. First the pressure on the west side forced the crowd against the auditorium, Studebaker's building, and the Art institution. Then the reaction came, and with a great roar the mob was forced eastward almost to the lake side. The Illinois Central suburban trains were forced to stop, power, lees to get through the press of people. New York, May 2.—The triduum of jubilation to which this city has been given up is ended. I*th, Hinds, Sills, The secretary of the treasury has appointed Herbert Vail, of New York, to be chief of the construction division of the supervising architect's office, vice J. A.

Balustrades, eto., etc., etc. The knowledge that the senator had gone on the hunt invested a visit Sheriff Davis made to the City Hall yesterday with especial interest, and some one started a rumor that he was there for the purpose of taking the City Hall by storm for the new appointees the moment the chief justice signs the order designating them for th«!» ad interim administratioh of city functions. On cross-examination, Mr. Parnell denied that the Irish World ever collected moneys for the Parliamentary party. The Irish World had been hostile to himself and the Parliamentary party since 1882.

They ended, as it was fitting they should, with a representation of the brawn and muscle, of the brain and honest blood that circulated through the national life and made it what it is today. Attorney General Webster here produced extracts from the Irish World praising Mr. Parnell's actions in parliament after 1882.

The treasury department has decided that so-called ship planking, imported for use in the construction of American vessels, is entitled to free entry, notwithstanding the fact that the importer is not a shipbuilder but merely imports the merchandise for sale. Nails, Connect with Telephones. While this witness was giving her testimony Mrs. Carter blushed deeply and hung her head in confusion. The cross-examination lasted for several hours, and resulted in showing several discrepancies between witness' former deposition aiu her statement on the stand. In the main, however, ber story was not shaken. Sir Charles Rus.~ell, counsel for the Parnellitee, put in extracts adverse to Mr. Parnell. The expectation of the men in office is that the chief justice will refuse to act under the bill by authority of which Senator Edwards' application is to be made to him. And even the mayor's appointees do not expect him to act at once. Mooney's Money Would be Accepted. Paint, H Office and yards l. near D., L. & W. de pot.

The People's Day. Mr. Parnell admitted knowing Mooney, otherwise known as "Transatlantic." He did not know whether Mooney contributed to the parliamentary fund. Mooney wrote Violent articles. Still, witness would not object to receiving Mooney's tribute to assist the party if he did not publish article* advocating murder. Ros'n and 1860 18 Bids were opened at the navy department yesterday for supplying the machinery of the battle ship Texas, now building at the Norfolk navy yard. The bids were: Richmond Locomotive and Machine works, (634,000; N. F. Palmer, Jr., & Co., of New York (Quintard Iron works), $682,500; Southwark Foundry and Machine company of Philadelphia, $645,800; Charles Reeder & Hons, Baltimore, $718,900. The L P. Morris company of Philadelphia put in a bid of $694,750 for constructing the machinery according to the departmental designs, but with their own modifications. Tarred Piper, THE ViSM "The only thing that will be done," said Mayor Cleveland, smilingly, "when the chief justice is seen, will be to ask him to fix a day (or the hearing of the application. The petition may be presented to him as an ex parte matter; but we have preferred to give the other side notice of the proceedings, and so the chief justice will merely be asked to set the hearing down for a day certain." Harry P. Nash, of Troy, N.

PITTSTON, PA, Are now writing a nC Policy called Qaeer Freight Bates. Witness had held no conversation with Patrick Ford since 1881. Mr. Parnell emphatically denied that his Irish schemes ever Included a coalition with the Fenians in order to expel landlords from I re la nd. He certainly aimed to destroy landlordism, but not to drive individuals from the country, and never had any idea of resorting to illegal measures. He did not recollect meeting Mr. Davitt.and John O'Leary In 1878 and discussing with them a possible alliance between the Na tionalists and the Fenians. He had no notion that the national fund of America and the skirmis hers' fund were identical. Baltimore, May a—The Manufacturers Record has been investigating the question of freight rates on iron in the south compared with those in the north, and ftnds that southern manufacturers are laboring under the disadvantage of having to pay a higher transportation rate to many leading points than Pittsburg furnaces do, notwithstanding Carnegie's contrary statements. This is true, the paper Bays, of finished iron as well as of pig. Chicago and Pittsburg pays six-tenths of a cent a mile per 100 ponnds, while Birmingham pays seven-tenths of a cent. '1 be same disparity of rates exists on consignments to Kansas City, San Francisco and other places. Aside from the presence of the great crowd itself, the cause of the excitement was the huge serpentine fireworks. One of them (hot out from the stand and squirmed through the people, scorching everybody in its course. Another followed a moment later, seeming literally to rip the crowd in two. Women fainted everywhere, and were brutally trampled upon as they lay in the grass. A movement of the crowd away from _ the threatened horror of a wholesale panic 'was met by the movement in the opposite direction, and the result was a terrible convulsion of the whole body. Seventy-five policemen, ■ant by Capt Bar tram to keep order, were tossed about as they might have been on a billowy sea, but the worst was to come. Congress street is narrow by the auditorium, and when the greatest jam came, as it soon afterwards did, when the fireworks were over and the people started westward and encountered the multitudes who had been unable to see the pyrotechnic, the collision was frightful. The Serpentine Fireworks* LOWEST PRICES.

Full 80,000 men were in line, of all trades and of every branch of industry, of every rank and condition of life in which honest manhood engages. As they marched along, each division with the emblem of its trade, they presented the greatest object lesson that the world ever saw. Little wonder it was that they bore themselves proudly as they passed 'mid the lines of people that paid them honor. Great as the multitudes were that had gathered on the preceding days to see the official and the military parades, they actually .paled before that dense throng of yesterday. Every family, almost, had a representative in the ranks, and every wife was out to see her husband march and every mother to watch her boy with pride. Fall 80,000 Men In Line.

Election of Railroad Directors. Mr. Parnell declared that he had never heard of it before. He had met Messrs. Devoy, Breslin, Finerty and Alexander Sullivan and a number of "Physical Force" men. He said he would frankly avow that he felt it was no part of his duty to exclude any one from the league on account of their antecedents. He wanted to include in it all Irishmen, trusting that every tection would aocept the new constitutional form of agitation. He had aimed at asking the "Physical Force" men to abandon their movement and accept his. To shut the constitutional door in their faces because they did not immediately agree would have been very foolish.

The cavern is a perfect reproduction of the famous grotto of Lourdes in the mountain fastnesses of France, where the Virgin appeared one day to little Bernedetta, a peasant girl, and revealed to her various secrets. It is built under the. main altar, and comprises an excavation '20 by 40 feet, containing the ante-chamber and grotto proper. Father Blenk •, the pastor of the church and the donor of the grotto, furnished the designs made after repeated pilgrimages to the original shrine. As for the parade itself it was grandly magnificent. No body of men went by that had not something emblematic of its calling. Banners were as countless almost as the sunbeams, while the allegorical displays were works of perfect art There was a rivalry between the men as to who should have the most notable turnout; the consequence was something handsome. It would be difficult, indeed, to bestow the palm upon any individual number. Each trade and each organization had something appropriate and unique, while patriotic allegories were profuse.

At noon Sheriff McCandiess escorted over 100 Italians into the works. The strikers did not interfere with them, as the Italians know nothing about making steel. It is expected that another lot of Italians will be sent in, when under cover of darkness, trouble may occur.

Washington, May 2.—The state department has granted to Mr. Perry Belmont, minister to Spain, leave of absence to attend the opening of the Paris exposition, to which he has been officially invited by the French government Mr. Bslmont was chairman of the house committee on fore%n affairs which reported the bill accepting the invitation to participate in these proceedings, and in the accompanying report he referred pointedly to the political significance of the occasion. In his cable message asking leave of absence Mr. Belmont says he intends to return to Madrid after the ceremonies to receive and show proper courtesies to Senator Palmer, his successor.ft Jersey Citt, May 3.—Now that centennial festivities are over, everybody is getting down to business again, and the charter fighters have drawn themselves up In battle array to resume afresh the struggle for the possession of the city offices. The first move was made yesterday. Sen ator Edwards is engaged in an Industrie search for Chief Justice Beasley. It had been arranged that he and ex-Governor Abbett should go to Trenton to consult him but inquiries, made probably by wire in Trenton, brought the information that the chief jastice was not at home and Senator Edwards had gone to Belvidere, to which place the chief justice is faid to have hied himself. Chicao:D, May 2. —The Carter case assumed a sensational turn again. The trial has progressed to Leslie Carter's cross libel, in which he charg&i his wife with misconduct with Dudley S.

The housekeeper threw a pitcher of water over the lovere upon discovering their disgraceful conduct, when they got up qulokly and ran in different directions, and immediately afterwards witness met Mrs, Carter as the latter came into the hotel through the private entrance, the water still adhering to her costume, her hair disheveled and her face flushed. fhe Oreat Irish Leader Admits Knowing Plv Burned by Serpentine Fireworks—Mar- Parade and the Turnout the Finest Mooney, Otherwise Known as "Trans- LUMBER, Filing.

Shingles. Cord Wood, Chicago, May 2.—One hundred thousand men, women and children were tossed in waves about the big lake front park. Half a hundred people are known to have been seriously hart and a number perhaps fatally. Scores of others suffered painful injuries. 7he people were massed in walls as solid as the frowning stones of the auditorium against which they were hurled when the first strong blow of excitement broke the great mob into scores of tremendous crushes and stampedes. Under the glare of the fireworks, which the throng had gathered to see, the faces of thousands of women showed white and pleading. The shrieks of children, trampled under foot, could be plainly heard above the booming of the big boombs and the cheers of the unaffected parts of the vast assemblage. First the pressure on the west side forced the crowd against the auditorium, Studebaker's building, and the Art institution. Then the reaction came, and with a great roar the mob was forced eastward almost to the lake side. The Illinois Central suburban trains were forced to stop, power, lees to get through the press of people. New York, May 2.—The triduum of jubilation to which this city has been given up is ended. I*th, Hinds, Sills, The secretary of the treasury has appointed Herbert Vail, of New York, to be chief of the construction division of the supervising architect's office, vice J. A.

Balustrades, eto., etc., etc. The knowledge that the senator had gone on the hunt invested a visit Sheriff Davis made to the City Hall yesterday with especial interest, and some one started a rumor that he was there for the purpose of taking the City Hall by storm for the new appointees the moment the chief justice signs the order designating them for th«!» ad interim administratioh of city functions. On cross-examination, Mr. Parnell denied that the Irish World ever collected moneys for the Parliamentary party. The Irish World had been hostile to himself and the Parliamentary party since 1882.

They ended, as it was fitting they should, with a representation of the brawn and muscle, of the brain and honest blood that circulated through the national life and made it what it is today. Attorney General Webster here produced extracts from the Irish World praising Mr. Parnell's actions in parliament after 1882. Stained glass, Oysterman: "0, I open oysl with my watoh, right along, bought it of Jarck, and it's strC enough to stand anything." The sheriff laughingly said that he expected to be commissioned to enter upon his mission of gore at 1 o'clock this afternoon. The treasury department has decided that so-called ship planking, imported for use in the construction of American vessels, is entitled to free entry, notwithstanding the fact that the importer is not a shipbuilder but merely imports the merchandise for sale. Nails, Connect with Telephones. While this witness was giving her testimony Mrs. Carter blushed deeply and hung her head in confusion. The cross-examination lasted for several hours, and resulted in showing several discrepancies between witness' former deposition aiu her statement on the stand. In the main, however, ber story was not shaken. Sir Charles Rus.~ell, counsel for the Parnellitee, put in extracts adverse to Mr. Parnell. The expectation of the men in office is that the chief justice will refuse to act under the bill by authority of which Senator Edwards' application is to be made to him. And even the mayor's appointees do not expect him to act at once. Mooney's Money Would be Accepted. Paint, H Office and yards l. near D., L. & W. de pot.

The People's Day. Mr. Parnell admitted knowing Mooney, otherwise known as "Transatlantic." He did not know whether Mooney contributed to the parliamentary fund. Mooney wrote Violent articles. Still, witness would not object to receiving Mooney's tribute to assist the party if he did not publish article* advocating murder. Ros'n and 1860 18 Bids were opened at the navy department yesterday for supplying the machinery of the battle ship Texas, now building at the Norfolk navy yard. The bids were: Richmond Locomotive and Machine works, (634,000; N. F. Palmer, Jr., & Co., of New York (Quintard Iron works), $682,500; Southwark Foundry and Machine company of Philadelphia, $645,800; Charles Reeder & Hons, Baltimore, $718,900. The L P. Morris company of Philadelphia put in a bid of $694,750 for constructing the machinery according to the departmental designs, but with their own modifications. Tarred Piper, THE ViSM "The only thing that will be done," said Mayor Cleveland, smilingly, "when the chief justice is seen, will be to ask him to fix a day (or the hearing of the application. The petition may be presented to him as an ex parte matter; but we have preferred to give the other side notice of the proceedings, and so the chief justice will merely be asked to set the hearing down for a day certain." Harry P. Nash, of Troy, N. Y., formerly night watchman at the Cooper house, was on the stand when court adjourned. etc., etc., etc To the whole people, acting in unison for the common weal, is due the proud place of the country today. She stands at the head of the nations, on a pedestal built by her industries. Her position is the result of the energies of her people, sud the crowning day of the festivities was dttingly celebrated by honoring their industries. PITTSTON, PA, Are now writing a nC Policy called Qaeer Freight Bates. Witness had held no conversation with Patrick Ford since 1881. Mr. Parnell emphatically denied that his Irish schemes ever Included a coalition with the Fenians in order to expel landlords from I re la nd. He certainly aimed to destroy landlordism, but not to drive individuals from the country, and never had any idea of resorting to illegal measures. He did not recollect meeting Mr. Davitt.and John O'Leary In 1878 and discussing with them a possible alliance between the Na tionalists and the Fenians. He had no notion that the national fund of America and the skirmis hers' fund were identical. Baltimore, May a—The Manufacturers Record has been investigating the question of freight rates on iron in the south compared with those in the north, and ftnds that southern manufacturers are laboring under the disadvantage of having to pay a higher transportation rate to many leading points than Pittsburg furnaces do, notwithstanding Carnegie's contrary statements. This is true, the paper Bays, of finished iron as well as of pig. Chicago and Pittsburg pays six-tenths of a cent a mile per 100 ponnds, while Birmingham pays seven-tenths of a cent. '1 be same disparity of rates exists on consignments to Kansas City, San Francisco and other places. Aside from the presence of the great crowd itself, the cause of the excitement was the huge serpentine fireworks. One of them (hot out from the stand and squirmed through the people, scorching everybody in its course. Another followed a moment later, seeming literally to rip the crowd in two. Women fainted everywhere, and were brutally trampled upon as they lay in the grass. A movement of the crowd away from _ the threatened horror of a wholesale panic 'was met by the movement in the opposite direction, and the result was a terrible convulsion of the whole body. Seventy-five policemen, ■ant by Capt Bar tram to keep order, were tossed about as they might have been on a billowy sea, but the worst was to come. Congress street is narrow by the auditorium, and when the greatest jam came, as it soon afterwards did, when the fireworks were over and the people started westward and encountered the multitudes who had been unable to see the pyrotechnic, the collision was frightful. The Serpentine Fireworks* LOWEST PRICES. Tbe Installment Pol Mayor Cleveland replied, when asked about filling the vacancy in the sinking fund commission, made by the declination of Henry Leuibeck, that he will do nothing in that direction today.

Full 80,000 men were in line, of all trades and of every branch of industry, of every rank and condition of life in which honest manhood engages. As they marched along, each division with the emblem of its trade, they presented the greatest object lesson that the world ever saw. Little wonder it was that they bore themselves proudly as they passed 'mid the lines of people that paid them honor. Great as the multitudes were that had gathered on the preceding days to see the official and the military parades, they actually .paled before that dense throng of yesterday. Every family, almost, had a representative in the ranks, and every wife was out to see her husband march and every mother to watch her boy with pride. Fall 80,000 Men In Line.

He said he would frankly avow that he felt it was no part of his duty to exclude any one from the league on account of their antecedents. He wanted to include in it all Irishmen, trusting that every tection would aocept the new constitutional form of agitation. He had aimed at asking the "Physical Force" men to abandon their movement and accept his. To shut the constitutional door in their faces because they did not immediately agree would have been very foolish.

It is built under the. main altar, and comprises an excavation '20 by 40 feet, containing the ante-chamber and grotto proper. Father Blenk •, the pastor of the church and the donor of the grotto, furnished the designs made after repeated pilgrimages to the original shrine. As for the parade itself it was grandly magnificent. No body of men went by that had not something emblematic of its calling. Banners were as countless almost as the sunbeams, while the allegorical displays were works of perfect art There was a rivalry between the men as to who should have the most notable turnout; the consequence was something handsome. It would be difficult, indeed, to bestow the palm upon any individual number. Each trade and each organization had something appropriate and unique, while patriotic allegories were profuse.

TOWNER, Pittsburg, May 2.—The strikers at the Duquesne steel works are out in force and so far have conducted themselves in an orderly manner. That serious trouble is expected, however, is madd known by the fact that 100 deputies were sworn in by Sheriff McCandiess and placed in the company's enclosure. At noon Sheriff McCandiess escorted over 100 Italians into the works. The strikers did not interfere with them, as the Italians know nothing about making steel. It is expected that another lot of Italians will be sent in, when under cover of darkness, trouble may occur. He did not recollect making a speech at Lynn, Mass., in whioh ha was reported as having said that when England was beaten to her knees the time would have come to realize the idea of the NationalistSL He admitted that if he had used those words he must have been thinking of methods of warfare in the event of constitutional agitation failing.
