Mr. Cleveland’s recent message on the
labor troubles does not meet with the
hearty approbation of the strict con-
structionists. Very reasonably they con-
tend that if congress has the power to
enact class legislation between employers
and employed, there is no barrier to pre-
vent it from prescribing wh it time a man
shall go to bed, and the specific moment
that the matutinal c cktail shall be or-
dered.—Austin Call.

Papers that are belaboring the public
ear with “dark horse” literature should
go for the majority rule, since the object
and utility of the two-thirds rule was
and is to defeat the prominent candi-
dates and rescue merit from obscurity.
The two thirds rule originated in the in-
terest of the “dark horse,” and has been
a potent but base political instrument in
the hands of every wire-pulling knave
from that day to this.—Glenrose Citizen.

Special to Evening- Tribune.
Houston, May 3.—About sixty Scotch
masons arrived in this city on the New
Orleans train yesterday morning and left
in the afternoon for Austin. It is said
ihat they were shipped at New
Jtork, ostensibly for Galveston,
but were landed at Norfolk, Virginia,
and sent through by rail in order to
throw the labor unions off the sceDt.
Fatal Accident.
Chicago, May 3.—Fritz Schlegel, a
single man, 34 years of age, and boarding
at No. 43 Webster avenue, was crushed
to death between two beer vats yester-
day in Carper & Nocklin’s brewery, where
he was an employe. Mr. Carper was
present when the accident occured, but
was powerless to render any assistance.
one of the most striking feats of modern
engineering. The place selected is where
the channel is two and one-half miles
wide and 361 feet deep, and two piers
will support a viaduct of steel rails to a
height of 328 feet above the water.
Upon the occasion of some evictions on
the estate of Lord Kenman in county
Kerry, it was shown that the unfortunate
teuants were unable to pay the fewr dol-
lars due (no case exceeding $12) on ac-
count of the want of employment. Some
of the men walked twelve and fifteen
miles to obtain work at from sixteen to
twenty-five cents a day, and the whefie of
this money they brought back to their
families, spending nothing upon them-
selves.
It is generally understood that Secre-
tary Manning will retire from the cabinet.
Miners Injured.
Negaunee, Mich., May 3.—Two mi-
ners, Daniel Flynn and Patrick Flan-
nery, were seriously injured at the Mil-
waukee mine at 6 o’clock this morning.
The night shift was comiDg up out of
the mine, when a ladder broke. Flynn
and Flaunery fell back into the shaft a
distance of ninety feet. Flannery had a
leg and one arm broken and his spine
injured. Flynn’s hip was broken and he
was otherwise badly bruised. It is
thought Flannery will not recover.
A Bad Wreck.
Meadville, Pa., May 3.—Freight train
No. 20, on the New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio railway, when approaching
Grant station, about fifty miles from here,
at 11 o’clock this morning, met with a
bad wreck. The connecting rod of the
switch, it appears, became detached, al-
lowing the rails to move out of position,
and the engine and ten cars were piled in
a heap. The engineer managed to escape
by jumping, but the fireman, Peter
Roschie, aged 21, residing in this city,
was caught while in the act of jumping
and buried beneath the engine and cars.
At 2 o’clock this afternoon his body had
not been recovered, and the track is still
blockaded.
A Tramp Murdered and Robbed.
Coatesville, Pa., May 3.—A German
tramp named Henry Allis was found
dead at Oxford, this county, and buried
in the Presbyterian cemetery. He was
known to have frequently shown large
sums of money to his companions, and at
the time of his death it was learned that
he had over $1300 in money sewed inside
the lining of his coat in which he was
buried. On Tuesday it was decided to
disinter the body with a view to ascer-
taining the truth of this story, when it
was discovered that the body had been
stripped of every vestige of clothing, and
the remains turned completely around in
the coffin. It is supposed the grave was
opened and the money stolen by several
tramps who had been seen with Allis
previous to bis death.
Explosion of a Lard Tank,
Chicago, May 3.—A frightful accident,
involving the loss of one and probably
three lives, occurred at 2 o’clock this
afternoon in Tobey & Booth’s packing-
house, corner of Eighteenth and Grove
streets. At that time a terrific explosion,
followed by a shock that was felt for a
whole square, and the crash of falling
bricks and timbers, attracted atten-
tion to the tank, killing and fer-
tilizing rooms, which are jnst
across the railroad tracks from the pack-
ing-house proper, and just under the ap-
proach to Eighteenth street bridge. One
of the great lard tanks had exploded and
demolished the entire portion of the
building in which they were placed, be-
sides killing an ol 1 man named James
Sanford, who had charge of the tanks.
The persons injured are: Patrick Mul-
doon, fatally scalded, cut about the
head, and injured internally; Nicholas
Atchen, aged 14 years, dangerously cut
about the head and spine injured ; Mike
Holloran, engineer, struck on the head
by a flying brick; Jake Weber, carried
under by the falling timbers, but not se-
riously hurt.

General Butler, the trotting horse, is
dead. A dozen years ago he was one of
the most famous flyers of the country,
and he leaves a better record as a trotter
than his Massachusetts namesake will
ever leave as a statesman.
A SHARP RUNAWAY.
At an early hour this afternoon a
double team attached to a Pacific Ex-
press company wagon grew tired of
standing in front of the office and started
out to see what had become of the boy-
cot or the scheme to change the location
of the new custom-house. The farther
they went the more enthusiastic they
became, and after tipping A. Flake’s
buggy over and doing it considerable
damage, they encountered Officer Dru-
dull, who caught them by the bits, but
they shook him off, careened gaily around
a street car and rushed into Sigel’s loan
office, corner Market and Twenty-fourth
street, smashing the door, breaking the
wagon, and bringing forth a decided re-
monstrance from the proprietor. Once
inside, they paused in their wild career
and calmly surveyed the stock of unre-
deemed pledges, but did not state that
they would like to secure a small advance
on the wagon. They were backed out
and returned to their work, apparently
well pleased with their excursion.
