On the northwest corner of Fifty-ninth street and Third avenue an immense structure is building. The street in front of it is littered with brict* and mortar. Many of the crowd armed themselves with bricks, and then drew back out of sight and waited. Peter Powers, who says he is a Fourtlf avenue car driver, had forced his way up to the front ptatfogn of the car the minute it had stopped. It is said that he cursed the driver and ordered him off the car. Being met with a refusal, he reached up for the purpose of pulling him him off. Just then a bride was thrown that smashed in one of the windows of the car. Clab* Freely Used Ike Hm4i •( Washington, April 90.—A labor mass meeting waa held in Armory hall last night. The hail waa filled, many ladies occupying the front seats. Representatives Farquhar, Swinburne and For an were the only congressmen on the platform. Congressman Farquhar, of New York, presided, and in his opening remarks acknowledged in his selection as presiding officer an honor to his craft He reviewud the work of organized labor in this country, which after repeated failures had reached a position that attracted attention of all at the present day. Speaking of the eight-hour law, he said the time would come when the hours of working-men must be shortened. Notwithstanding St. Louis, no more blood would be shed in labor troubles in America. Instead of with the bullet, the American work in gin an would hereafter settle their troubles with the ballot Washing ton, April 30.—Attorney Gen oral Garland has been on the witness stand for nearly four hours.

The deputies, finding it useless to resist, surrendered. Tho Weaver brothers defended themselves in their struggle for life with a revolver which thay had taken from one of the deputies. They were finally overpowered by the mob and disarmed. Ropes were placed abodt their necks and preparations were made to hang them to the rafters, but the tramp of approaching feet scared the mob so that they fired fifteen shots into each man, literally shooting them to pieces, and :hen mounting their horses rode rapidly away.

Charter cars ran here and there, bat only the Eighth and Ninth Arcane line* were operated. An attempt to W.." the Third avenue road with non-union tm neulted in a riotous attack on one of the SW at Fifty-ninth street late in the afternoon, and a collision between the rioters and the polica. It was a short bat lange . conflict. The C»r wis wreolMlt lw policemen wen hurt Many heads were broken by the policemen's dub*, and seven men. nearly ail strikers, were made prisoners. This fight is described elsewhere. The railroad commissioners sat *11 day in an attempt to get at a basis of Agreement for arbitration. Proposals were subrikfttod by both sides, but when the oomsnlttn adjourned late in the afternoon no ngreement had been reached. The three commissioners held an hour's conference at Ike Murray Hill hotel together, between &80 and 0.80 o'clock. All three agreed that the proposition of arbitration put forward by the committee of the Empire association was "very fair and reasonable." The commissioners decided that the best course would be to endeavor to secure a con ■ent to arbitration without delay, and empowered Coatpniseionar O'Doonell to express their views on the expediency of arbitration, both to the association and the Third Avenue railroad"directors. Commissioner O'Donnell jumped into his cab at 10.90 o'clock and was driven rapidly to the head■oartors at the Empire association, where the rrsmrtlTn board was awaiting him with jMtpr an interview with the board the com■aWoiwn went direct to Director Edward Lauterbach's house and told him personally of the decision of the commission as to the adrjtaahiiity of arbitrating the differences beiljil the company and its men. It was 11:*) o'clock whan Commissioner O'Donnell got hack to the hotel, where the two other .commissioners were awaiting him. In a second the air was filled with flying missiles. The crowd yelled and surged to and fro. Sergeant Tuok, of the Fifty-ninth street police station, with four big policemen at his back, fought his way up to the car just as Powers had seised Sheak and jerked him out into the street. It would have gone hard with Sheak if Tuck had not lifted his club and struck Powers a sounding blow across the shoulders. Powers whirled around and, taking aim at Tuck, hurled a brick at him. It missed Tuok, but struck Policeman Goodipeed on the side of the head and stunned him. Sergeant Tuck jerked Sheak to his ieet and, forcing him through the crowd by main strength, told him to ran to the station house. Sheak ran down Fifty-ninth street at full speed, and was almost in front of the station when a fellow sjised him, hurled him out into the street and kicked him, until be saw Sergeant Tuck racing up to the rescue. Sheak being safe in the station house. Tuck started back in time to help Sergeant Sealey drag Powers through the crowd. Frank M_ Fogg, a prominent Knight of Labor, addressing the meeting, said he wanted congress to know that workingmen were getting ready to break loose from political parties. The consolidated railroad companies, the national banks, the Standard Oil company, and the coal ring had run the government long enough. Tom Scott, William H. Vanderbilt and Jay Gould had taught workingmen communism, agarlanism, socialism, organization and defense, and, "by the eternal living God, they would profit by that teaching." Mr. Fogg wanted to abolish all tariff laws, turn every custom house into an asylum for tramps and protect American industries by reducing the cost of 'capital. Capital was high, transportation was high, and labor was low. In describing the interview between Van Benthuysen and himself at the department of justice, he used tho expression, "He became quite ashy," to indicate his becoming angry. A favorite expression of his, in speaking of the newspaper accounts of hi3 troubles, was to say, "I have not read 833 lines of it" The committee filled all the vacancies wl are now ready for a vigorous and au nettv» canvass. NO MONOPOLY PERMITTED. TWO DAYS BURNING. The Bell Telephone Company are Com* mon Carriers. Shocking Fatalities and UnM I.oss mt Philadelphia, April 30.—The supreme court has decided that the Boll Telephone company was bound to p'.aco one of its instruments in the train otHce of the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph company- in this city. The Bell company refused to place an instrument in the telegraph company's office on the ground that under a contract with the Western Union Telegraph company it was precluded from extending its privileges to any other corporation in the same line of Business. The Baltimore and Ohio compam brought suit in the court of common pleas, where Judge Arnold decided that such ai UTangement as that referred to was in the oature of a monopoly and that the Bell company, being a common carrier, was obliged 10 furnish its instruments to the public without distinction and at a uniform rental This lccision of Judge Arnold is affirmed by the supreme court. He brought out the interesting fact that he was invited to go In this enterprise by Mr. Atkins in February, 1883. Mr. Atkins was then a member of congress. Mr. Atkins has made very much of the newspapers charging that he went into this enterprise when he was a member of congress. Mr. Garland's testimony upon that point is conclusive, even if Senator Harris' letter to Rogers in the same month was not in existence.. Vienna, April 20.—The Ore at Stry Is a Oil raging.

Cqnductor H us ted had gone inside the car when the first brick was thrown, but it suddenly occurred to him that this was a very unsafe place. Brioks came in through the windows and through the roof. He wax afraid to venture out, because the crowd pressed so close about the car that he did not believe he could force his way through, and bo he remained where be was until a policeman yelled to blm to rush back to the depot He jumped off the car right into the arms of the mob. Ha was knocked down twice and kicked, but he struggled to his feet and dashed liko a madman up Third avenua He had gone only a short distanoe when a knot of men came running down the avenue. He turned in affright and started back toward the police station. He had just swung around into Fifty-ninth street when a man knocked him down and beat him until he was rescued by the police. Senator Voorhees, who came late on the platform, spoke briefly, and indorsed combination on the part of workingmen to protect their interests. The danger to liberty was not from the classes who labor but rather from those who '"toil not, neither do they spin." The senator in closing apologized for the brevity of his remarks and assured his hearers and workingmen that in the future, as in the past, while he might not talk much to them his record would show that his votes were always right. He thought that applications for setting aside patents should be first referred to the interior department. The record of two such cases referred to by him were put in evidence. The attornoy general's conservatism on this point, bis complete and thorough familiarity with all precedents and his knowledge of principles involved in recent telephone litigation was in marked contrast with the good-natured ignorance of his solicitor general, who hud ordered ouch a suit inside of twenty-four hours' notice without consulting" a single precedon*. Many of those injured during the lire have died. The total number of d:nd is now.ltJO. Forty of the victims were children. : When the fire had reached its huigbt tin prisons were opened, but the authorities bad delayed the release of the prisoners too long, and fourteen of the inmates were burued to death.

The gale was so severe thot sharks were carried three miles and set flre to n number of huts occupied by tbe peasantry. The emperor has donated (3,300 for the relle.' of the sufferers. Congressman O'Hara, the colored representative from North Carolina, also spoke, assuring workingmen that he was heart and soul with them in the work of reform. Workingmen were endeavoring to free the country from the last vestige of slavery. Through armed force we have freed the country of negro slavery, and through organization workingmen should free labor from every form of oppression. A BLACK SHEEP Gets Into the Fold of the Knlglita of Mr. Garland clearly showed that he had no connection with the government suit. He would not have brought it under any circumstances. It has not been developed either through his testimony or that of anybody else yet given that he was in any conspiracy to have the government suit brought. He said towards tbe close of bis testimony that he still held his stock and had not changed his relations to the company. Lalmr. Boston, April 80.—The Transcript last evening published the following dispatch from Brockton: "The man, A. R. Mooro, whom the papers speak of this morning as being in St Louis and promising the strikers tli -re the aid of 100,000 New England work,iien, left this city two years ago, leaving his workmen unpaid, and all his other creditors in the same condition, lie is now out of jail on bail, a complaint of embezzlement banging over him.

It was said that Superintendent Murray's orders were: Congressman Murphy, of Iowa, made a brief speech urging the construction of the Hennepin canal. As the son of a workingman, he wanted to give workingmen a sub stantial benefit in the shape of a water way which would'cheapen the cost of transportation to the consumers of the east, and so compete with and oontrol railroad magnates, such as Jay Gould. Resolutions were adopted indorsing the course pursued by General Master Workman Powderly in his dealings with Jay Gould about, the strike troubles, and earnestly beseeching all opposed to monopoly to contribute to Mr. Powderly's call for relief for the strike sufferers, and the meeting adjourned.Mr. Powderly, who was expected to ad dress the meeting, had not reached Washing ton in time to be present Veterans Celebrate.

Nkw York, April 30. — Henry Ward Beecher says that hie had signed a petition to President Cleveland to reappoint den. James McLeer as postmaster of Brooklyn. "This is my flnt essay in offloeseeking from Prusident Cleveland," said Mr. Beecher, "and I can safely say that I go into the business only becauae of my knowledge of tfje man I am seeking to help, and my realist itlou that he has made the most of limited pottal facilities."

He stated emphatically that nc demonstration would be made by authority of the Knights of Labor in favor of Um eight-hour movement on the 1st of May, and said the country is not yet prepared for such a change. He is in favor of Inesenlng the hours of labor, but is opposed to hasty action, and says there must be a full discussion of the subject and a complete understanding of it in all it* bearings by employer and employed before any steps are taken to introduce such a system. The interests of manufacturers, contractors and workmen must be thoroughly considered in framing such a programme, and there is not sufficient time to do this before the first of next month.

All Attempts to Arbitrate Have Failed. Sensational Humors. m We had only gone a block or two when men began to rush out from the sidewa-k. They tried to grab the horses at the bitu, and two of them dpi so, throwing the horses back on their haunches. But the driver was a good one, and handled the car too well to get into any trouble by that trick. The polioeinen jumped off and made the men let go. They used their clubs and the men were driven off. Then a man with a big jackkuife opened in his hand made a dash at the team to cut the reins or traces, I suppose. He was a big red-shlrted man, a determinedlooking fellow, but the polioomen induced him to let go. Howl Why, by knocking him down, of course. The last I sow of him he was in the gutter. St. Louis, April 20.—Both parties are seemingly content with the situation, therefore the strike presents no changes. A story has gained circulation that in order to impress Governor Oglesby that the military in Bast St Louis is a standing necessity the railway officials lately fixed up a plan to have the militiamen fired upon, now and than, blank cartridges to be used. This is denied however. Military rule in East St Louis ■teems to become even more and more burdensome to the people. Complaint is made that the moit peaceably disposed citizens are arrested and thrown into the guard house if they happen to look like a laborer on strike. This too is denied, but the guard house is kept full of men. The final failure of the citiasns' committee to get a hearing from the resident directors of the Missouri Pacific has occurred, whereat there is some indignation. Mr. Hoxie publishes daily reports that the road is doing a greater business than ever before, and smiles at all atterhpts at arbitration.Germany Wants England's Koud.
