RIOTOUS STRIKERS. not | They Attack a Car Filled with Work- men and Drive Them Off. Prrrssvrc, Pa, July 11.—Reports from Homstead are that the excitement is at fever heat among the strikers to-day, and that many acts of violence were committed this morning. On arrival of the 9 o'clock train from Pitte- burg it was surrounded by the sentinels of the strikers. One car was filled with workmen bound for the Homestead mill. The menin the car became alarmed and tried to get off the train. Both car doors were locked and the; —_ ® rush for the windows, a ed altHough by this time train was under headway, four of themclimbed out. Over 2,000 of the strikers lined the tracks between Munhall and Homestead, and by yell- ing encouraged those near the mill to prevent the strangers from entering the yard. As the train neared the works the car in which the new men were confined was attacked by A VOLLEY OF STONES AND CLINKERS thrown by the strikers. Windows were broken and several of the occupants of the car were hit about their heads. One man received a terrible cut below his eye. When the car door wags opened the terrorized occupants ran to the hill and a One or two were caught and badly used up, Only three of the forty men in the car succeeded in reaching the mill. Sheriff McCandlass who witnessed the proceedings came to the city and will take a large force of deputies to the works this afternoon.

Martin of the Amalgamated association of Iron und Steel workers, has established ee ee in Homestead, and will take charge of ting the strike.

Bostox, July 11.—An Ottawa dispatch to the Globe says: An official of the justice depart- ment said to your correspondent last evening that it was not the intention of the minister of justice to grant a warrant for the extradition of Burke unless the charge is already clearly proved. Sir John Thompson is person- ally very much opposed to granting wurrants for extradition upon purely circumstantial evi- dence. ‘The application for a warrant in Burke's case will be considered in a few days as soon as copies of the evidence taken at the trial have been received. ———-—___ The Chicago Tickers. Curcaco, July 11.—Judges Tuley, Collins, and Horton heard the arguments this morning on the motion of the attorney for the board of trade for a modification of the injunction against the board in the matter of quotations. Judge Smith urged that the board be allowed to transmit its quotations to non-members every fifteen minutes. The attorneys for the bucket- shops argued against this, making the point that it was only a scheme which would eventu- ally result in squeezing the public out of quota- tions altogether. The judges reserved their decision until to-morrow morning. pgm dba Secretary Proctor is Improving. Rorianp, Vr., July 11.—Secretary Proctor has been suffering froma summer complaint, which weakened him considerably, but it is not at all serious and he is able to be at the Vermont marble company’s office a short time daily.

DRINKS FOR THE PEOPLE, For @ long time the Commissioners have been receiving complaints from all over the city that the public pumps were without dip- pers. To-day Capt. Lusk recommended that each pump in the city be provided with a cast- iron dipper, The Commissioners have ap- proved his recommendation and the dippers will be in place in a few days, THE POLICE COURT NEEDS REPAIRS, Building Inspector Entwisle, after a careful inspection of the Police Court, reported to the Commissioners to-day that while there was no doubt but that the repairs asked for were abso- lately necessary, Congress had failed to appro- priate any money for the improvements. He suggest that the Commissioners look into the matter and see or sewilpeger some on appropriation out of whic! repairs co be made, TO CLOSE aT 3 P. M. The Commissioners will at the board session to-morrow consider the advisability of closing the District buildings at 8 o'clock during the hot weather, It is pretty certain that an order to that effect will be issued, as Commissioner Hine is in favor of it and Commissioner Doug- las also, provided it will not interfere with the business of the office.

So it was nearly 1 o'clock before Mr. Rogers | to was ready for his excursion, On the scow were Capt. Symons and» couple of clerks from the District buildings, an assistant in the office of Col. Hains, Mr. re and his oy on “Jack,” az and the & copper collar, and rubber cuffs. His feet were submerged in shoes that would have made a sprinter ill—great,wide structures of leather, soled with an inch of iron, His hands were uncovered, and on the right glistened a bet ehtic Beery weedy $0 ¢0 0! iat while he was get! r to wn, and his wake om euihos oh" compen was hidden from the jiece of canvas. A t fiat rock was led toa rope and lowered to the bottom. A strong manilla rope was fastened around the diver's waist and he dragged himself to the — of the scow and stepped over on the lad- r. sun under a READY FOR THE SUBMARINE TRIP. Then some one struggled over with the immense round helmet, to which a black inch hose was screwed, The great copper box was dipped into the water to cool it, and then lifted over Mr. Rogers’ head and screwed fast to the copper collar. He continued to give instructions through the open front, his voice sounding like that of a man standing four feet from his telephone, Leaning over top of the ladder he let “Jack” tie a belt around him—a light, airy little affair composed of fifteen or twenty chunks of lead ona piece of canvas. When this was done he was ready for his trip, and witha Se he let his man screw on the front plate, GOING Down. As he stood on the ladder he weighed fully 800 pounds, though he is but a small man. There were about 90 pounds of belt,40 pounds of shoes, 20 pounds of coliar and helmet, and 150 Vestn of man, This mass of matter ay sank out of sight until but the round hea piece was visible, and then the diver sprang out from the ladder and was gone. The life line and the air tube slipped rapidly through ‘Jack’s” fingers as he at the side of the scow, and two colored men at the pump handles bent up and down as they sent life to the man below. Agreat rush of bubbles sprang to the surface of the water and showed that the pump was working well, THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE DIVER were to take a trip along the north face of the pier and around to the west, to look for evi- dences of washing, and to examine the character of the bottom and the masonry. He was underneath about twenty minutes, his course being marked by the patch of bubbles that continued to break. ‘Jack” followed him with his line with great care, now paying out, now pulling in, until a tug or two came up the rope, and he immediately began to haul up with ail his strength. “He's COMING uP!” he exclaimed, and a colored man went to his assistance. ‘‘He’s a small man, but he’s mighty heavy.” In another moment the copper dome that covered the diver’s head could be seen approaching the surface, then his hands feared the ladder and he had pulled himeelf alf-way up. # easy on the air,” the pumpers were told, while some one quickly unscrewed the front piece and then took off the helmet. It was then that Mr. Rogers told Capt. Sy- mons that the bed of the Potomac was no improvement, as far as heat goes, over the city. The air he breathed was hot from com- pression and the windows of the helmet were reeking. THE Diven’s REPORT. As soon as he could get a breath or two of cooler air the diver made his preliminary re- port to the captain. He said that he had been out to the west end of the pier and had discovered there an immense tree log fully thirty feet long and three feet in diameter that had lodged under the pier. The masonry, after going down nearly straight, flared out at the bottom, and neath this jog it was fully 4 feet to the bottom, which at the west end was hard rock, as clear as though swept by brooms, He had put his leg under the jog and found that there was an exeavation beneath the pier, which he cal- culated to extend fully six feet back. He had explored as far as he could with his foot. The tree was firmly lodged and there were some timbers caught in the masonry also, These, Captain Symons thought, were a part of the old coffer-dam, ROUGH MASONRY. Toward the east end the masonry was very rough and bad, It looked, the diver said, as though it had*been loosely, hastily thrown and was so jagged that he could ha‘ climbed up the face of the pier some distance, In this neighborbood the bottom was covered with coarse silt for a depth of about a foot. The diver had brought up several pounds of this stuff in his . He exhibited this to the captain, that it had been washed in S crete that had been laid at the base of the pier when it was built. The diver said that there was no trace of conercte on that side. There were no evidences of the settling of the pier below, he added, but the masonry was so rough that there was nothing to indicate it, WHAT CAPTAIN SYMONS SAYS, Capt. Symons said to Tuz Stap reporter that the discovery of the tree confirms his former theory. It had been lodged there by the freshet and had turned the current downward under the masonry with great force, sufficient to wash out the silt on the bed of the river and possibly some of the masonry. He remembered reading in some reports that while the workmen were building the pier spony, there had been great trouble with the coffer-dam. It had who thought replace the ‘oon washed out once, and the men to hurry toward the. last for fear that they would be carried away. That probably accounted for the loose masonry, He thought that the pier could be repaired by taki out the tree and filling in the dtonvation found b; the diver. It could be concreted with- out the use of a coffer-dam. He will wait, however, until Mr. Rogers makes a more com- plete examination of the pier and its sur- roundings before he ee aes The diver will make another trip down after- noon and will continue to-morrow, ———— WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

Having hung on to the ragged edge of exist- ence longer than even his most sanguine frionds thought possible, Morris Adler has | started in to conquer the paralysis which has chained him down to his bed for three weeks. He commenced this morning with his left foot, and now he can turn that member from side to side without overexerting himself. and, when he feels so inclined, there is nothing to prevent him from wiggling his toes. Whether or not the paralysis will loosen its hold on other portions of the sick man’s | body is a matter for conjecture—a question too intricate to be solved by science. Las! night Adler rested much more easily than during the night previous, and that may account for the fact that he had rallied considerably from the period of depression which commenced a few days ago. In appearance this morning Adler was much weigiter than for a week past, although, like a slow-consuming fire, his continuously high temperature is weakening him. This morning the thermometer recorded a personal heat of 108.2 degrees, the highest morning tempera- ture in the history of the case. The pulse was at 110 and weak, but the breathing, which has been extremely labored, is much easier and more nati GRATEFUL TO THE ELECTRICIAN. Adler and his relatives and friends are ex- tremely grateful to Mr. Messner, the electrician, who at his own expense fitted up and put in working order the fans which have kept the temperature of the air surrounding the pa- tient down to a comfortable figure. The storage battery which provided motive power yesterday has been removed and the apparatus was connected with a wire on the incandescentcircuit of the United States electric lighting company. This proved to be a much more satisfactory arrange- ment, and now the fans revolve continuously and noiselessly, They have done more to make Adler comfortable than all the other curatives negregated. < ‘he wound is not giving the physicians any trouble now. It discharges only a small quan- tity in the course of the day and is doing well. There is no tumefaction around it and none of the symptoms of inflammation can be noted. PUBLIC INTEREST IN ADLER’S CONDITION increases rather than wanes. Passers-by look inquiringly at the house and frequently stop to ask about the wounded man's condition. Car- riages and wagons are stop by drivers in order that they may join in the general search for news as to Ward's vietim, Even those modern Arabs—the street huck- sters—hush their fog-horn voices when they reach the square in which the Adler home stands, and the laughter of children, of whom there are many in the neighborhood, is stilled. An extraordinary noisy huckster who had a large stock of potatoes on hand lost his bear- ings to-day and was making things wake w when he rounded the southwest corner of 61 and H streets, He had his4 by 9 mouth _ fixed for another eulogium upon his potai when he remembered where he was. His jaws closed like # spring trap and he apologized a Star rey r, who was just outside the house, for whoop he had just turned loose on the corner. ‘I hope the young feller’ll fool them doctors yet,” was his remark. He crossed 7th street before he made any more audible remarks as to the genealogy of his cargo of potatoes, ——_———. CLEANED OUT THE CHINAMEN. How the Celestials Celebrated Inde- pendence Day and Got Into Trouble. On the Fourth of July some Chinamen were celebrating on 4}¢ street near Pennsylvania avenue, They were setting off firecracker and having a lively time, when a colored man named Jus, Mann came along. He walked sonear the Chinamen’s headquarters that the fire from one of the explosives burned him. He con- tinued on his journey, but returned in a few minutes and acted the part of John L. Sullivan, He cleaned out “Chinatown” and whipped Charlie Foon so badly that he since suffered from the effects of the beating. Policeman Costello was sent for and heard the complaint of the Chinaman, They claimed that the colored man used a revolver, but that it would not go off. drawn a They also him with ha knife on them. alle; it was arrested and taken to the 4 DECISION WHICH DIDN'T SATISFY THE CHINAMEN. Later this afternoon Prosecuting Attorney $ ‘WHAT THE CARDINAL SATs. Cardinal Gibbons says that an education that improves the mind and memory to the neglect of moral and religious training is at best but an imperfect and defective system. It is, he says, eminently useful that the intellect of our youth should be developed, and that they should be made familiar with those branches of know! which they are afterward likely to pursue. It is most desirable, too, that they id be made acquainted with the history of our country, the —_ and principles of ite government, and with the eminent men who have served it by their statesmanship and valor. But it is not enough for children to have a secular educa- tion; they must receive a religious training. science as the soul heaven is above earth, as eternity is above time. By secular education we improve the mind; by religious training we direct the ‘heart. The religious and the sec- ular education of our children cannot be di- vorced from each other without inflicting a fatal wound upon the soui; they must go hand | im hand, otherwise their education is shallow and fragmentary—a curse instead of a blessing. Piety, says the cardinal, is not to be put on for state occasions, but is to be exhibited in our conduct at all times. Our youth must put in practice sotg hee A the commandments of God as well as rules of arithmetic. Then, he asks. how can they familiarize themselves with these sacred duties if they are not daily incul- cated? The cardinal then quotes from Guizot, | an eminent Protestant Frenchman, as follows: “It is necessary that national education should © given and received in the midst of a relig- jous atmosphere. Religion is not a study or in exercise to be restricted to a certain |or hour.” The cardinal then continues: “In | this country the citizen happily enjoys the | larges hberty, and I should be sorry to see his freedom lessened or infringed. it the | wider the liberty the more efficient should | be the safeguards to prevent it from bei abused and. degenerating into license. To keep the social body within its orbit the cen- | tripedal force of religion should counterbalance | the centrifugal motion of free thought. The | dom within legitimate bounds is to inculcate in truth, justice, honesty, temperance, self-deni: | and those other fundamental duties comprise: in the Christian code of morals, The cate- chetical instructions given once a week in our Senday schools are insufficient to supply the religious wants of our children. fi is important that they should breathe every | day a healthy religious atmosphere in schools the seeds of Christian faith, piety and sound morality are nourished and invigorated. The combination of religious and secular education | is easily accomplished in denominational | schools. To what extent religion may be brought in the public schools without infring- ing the rights aud wounding the conscience of some of the pupils is a grave problem beset with difficulties, and very hard to be solved. in- | asmuch as thos+ schools are usually attended | by childrer belonging to the various Christian denominations, by Jews also, and even by those who profess no religion whatever.” ARGUMENT OF DR. SAVAGE. The Rev. Dr. Minot J. Savage begins his paper by defining the term “religious instruc- tion.” He says that, thinking of God as im- minent in the universe, one feel that he is facing and dealing with the divine reality whichever way he turns. Like this is his own feeling, so that, as he views it, no study and no school could possibly be “godless.” Any in- | struction, then, that is true, he says, will, in the broadest sense, have about it a touch of religion. Whatever else or more any one may believe, he could hardly object to this. In meeting the claim of most religionists, that morality and goodness — on their par- ticular form of religion, Mr. Savage says that a careful study reveals the fact that moral codes have been arrived at as the result of men’s attempts to find out how to live ee in society, and it seems quite possible to him, therefore, to teach the essential prin- ciples of right and wrong—so far as per! to this present lite—without any regard to the particular theological tenets of any particular religion, and sums up that, by “religious in- struction in the public schools,” what is really meant is sectarian instruction, or the teaching of the peculiar beliefs of some particular part of the = world, Whatever claim, he says, the — or Roman church may make as to not being a sect, it is evident that, from the view of the Protestant or Jew, they must be regarded as sects, The question then is, Mr. Savage asserts, whether any religion or more than one shall be taught in the public schools. Dr. Savage then argues as follows: “In the case of those who believe that the salvation of their children’s souls is at stake there cannot be a more odious t; ny than tocompel them to submit to a teaching that, to their minds, en- tails such horrible consegences. So far as this goes my sympathies are with the Romanists as against the teaching of any form of Protestan- ism in the schools. And in the case of those who do not believe that the endless welfare of their children is at stake, compelling them to submit to the teaching of a religion they don't believe is a waste of time them to the influence of what is led as hurtful ie Eg ae ‘inder true learning, im theories of life pee Ge Ape a ly with the pines and progress of is worl if not of the next. In either case, then, it is a tyranny.” Dr. Savage then goes on to say Fr itis none of the state's business to engage in the work of saving souls in the next world, Thats ote geek es ot ae. ee} no religion, an: e thing state any right to be int in is the matter of a man’s behavior as a citizen of the world) The state legislature or the national may compel such a popular education as fits a man fntehigently Vote as measure of public follows: “Once then, that it bone of the state's yates to J; souls, and it follows with inexorable F PEPE &: Teles ie it : i hf iy | r) Fe i Religious knowledge is as far above human | is above the body, as | ‘dm which not only is the mind enlightened but | i} } | pam. | COOK, A | the mind of youth while at school the virtues of | CRoss | July 9. 1859, WILLIAM CLAL a a i E yep a py many a men to the effect that a handsome silver cup for seventy-footers would be subscribed for. BRIDEGROOM DROPPED DEAD, And After His Burial the AMicted Bride Married a Rival Suitor. A Birmingham, Ala., special to the New York Sun says: A large crowd of people assembled at Mount Hope church, Lamar county, on Sun- day morning, to witness the marriage of Julius to the floor and died in a few moments, He had heart disease, and the excitement of the occasion brought on a fatal attack. Among those present in the church was Wm. Langley, ® rejected suitor of Miss Moran. At the first opportunity Langley approached the young lady and told her that Providence had inter- —— to prevent her marriage to Shearer. He sted she ought to marry him, as the Lord was clearly on his side. Miss Moran finally consented to marry Langley as soon as Shearer was buried. Shearer's funeral took Yesterday morning, and last night Lang- meaty Miss Moran were without Progidential interference. —— eee The C. Bi. C.
