A Presentment Against Boyrotter* fin*, taiawl by The Recorder. Tho New York Grand Jury has bronghl iadictments against the leaders of the Third avenue horae-car strikers, a number of boy- cotters, and others accused of conspiring te disturb peaceful occupations. On the lait day of the Grand Jury’* service, Foreman Joseph H. Brown, after Rinding some indict¬ ments to tin cl 'rk, sto xl fa -ing City Recorder Smyth, and in a loud voic« read a presentment. Huch paper* are usually filed and not read aloud. The presentment charge! tha , Police Justice Mrs. VVelde, Gray’s by discharging soma amniaed qf of boycotters, throo men carry- ing “sandwich” signs before the store of Cavauagb, Bond ford <fe Co., and sixteen bovcotters against whom Mr. Theiss, of Fourteenth street, imuIN com- plaint, had caused the b .ycottors to have their own way for nine days until action was taken by the Grand Jury. i Mr. Theiss, the Grand Jury .say, was oblige not only tc employ the union men, but to pay $1,000 to cover the expense of the boycott. The pro sen tment continues: “It appears evident to the Graul Jury, representing as they do tbe law-abiding eiti- zens of this county, that great dereliction of dutv and greater ignorance of law were manifested on the jiart of this recognized legai authority of our police. Otherwise we claim that our city would not have been dis- decisions tfracod for a period of nine days after those of Justice Wolde by this nefarious conspiracy against the rights of the neople. The Grand Jury regret to refle t u;oi any officer of justice and,notwithstau in theopin- ion of JustiieWelde, a thorough examination convinces them that this so-called boycott is an accursed exotic, and they bench urge every effort of our legislators, the and the bar, thapresiof theianl and every Ameri- can citizen to aid in exterminating this hydra headed monster,dragging its loathsome length ac:os> tho continent, sacking the very life blood of our trade and commerce, equally baneful to the employers an;l tbi employed. the Grand Recorder Smyth in discharging Jurors, sai l: “I look upon this as on ? of tb? most im- portent terms of this court which 1 hava field, and no more intcllig nt and painstaking kuowl- Grand Jury has served here to my edge.

In respect to the indictment which your foreman lias just handed to me, I am glad that the Grand Jury has had the courage to present to tho court what they beiieved to be a dereliction of duty on tho part of a public officer. At tho same time it may bo well to remember, though police it is bardiy an extenuation, that the jus- tiees appointed in The this statute city are under not which men trained in the law. you have acted is comparatively new and it is possible that the police j istice to had whom you refer in your pro enfc’.nent not known of its existence. Whether he erred through ignorance or mistake of the law, I concur with you in thinking that a great deal of tho difficulty caused by this boycotting has been caused by his action. I do not mean to say that he has acted at all as he should have done. I do concur with the Grand J ury and I be- lieve that tho presentment, so well prepared, will be of great service and I shall take pains, as far as X can, that each and every Police Justice nnd police Grand captain Jury shall have the benefit ol what the has said. I think something should be done by which when cases involving new the principles police ari-e the law should require au- thorities to consult with the prosecutiug justices. offi- cor rather than with the police will be ready, I hope that tho District Attorney always as I have no doubt that he is, to ad- vise with the polico as to matters that arise requiring legal advice.

LABORING MEN ASKING A RE¬ DUCTION IN WORK HOURS. Ureal I>cmnn*1 rations In Ynrieu* Cltir*, and Alan? Faclerie* Cliising. X* many cities on the 1st inst. working, man, through their organizations, demanded a redaction in the hours of labor to eight hours a day, with the sarno pay as had been given for ten hours. In Chicago occurred the greatest demonstration of all, about 40,000 workingmen striking for eight horn's a day. A Chicago dispatch says: The attempt of 40,000 mechanics, laboring men and working people hour of every Chicago sort to in¬ augurate the eight system iu to¬ day was free from violence or blood¬ shed. In many instances employes demanded an advance of wares at the same this time with a reduction of working hours, and added to the complications of tho situa¬ tion between employer and employes. Iu many other instan es manufacturing estab¬ lishments simply closed to roako a holiday for their men and temporarily bridge over the crisis. Meanwhile the streets in various portions of tlio city were sounding all day with the blare of bunds and the tram p of processions. In the Southwestern part of Chicago, 10,000 lumbermen marched and displayed two red flags. Discontented freight handlers, to the number of nearly 1,000, man tled around the depots and per- suaded many of their fellow workmen to join their ranks. On the North Side there wore processions of furniture workers and and banners planing-mill giving hands, displaying flags which the eight praise to those firms conceded hour In the afternoon Lake street, from Clinton to Desplaines street, was packed solidly with people. assembled Hundreds Desplaines of furniture while worker:-; were No. at street, at 52 Went Lake street the freight handlers met to i(/*i organize a branch of the K nights of 1-ator. far, w - er0 eon-picuous, bands played »nd the seeno was a mo >t enlivening one, but there was no disturbance. It is estimated tliat at leart 12,U00 men employed ‘ in tholuin- her district quit work during the dnv. The only firm that did any business was Wells & their French, aud only the work. high-priced the portion of force wa* at During forenoon a mass meeting, under the auspices field, of Lumber.Workers’Union, No. 1, was The enthusiasm grew until the meeting was organized into a procession, with a band of i music at its head. Two red flags and two United States flags were carried. After parading through tho lumber district, and creating groat excitement and attract- ing thousands of spectators the procession moved down to Blue Island avenue to McCormick’s reaper factory. Some of the non-union men employed works’were there were found, although tho closed for the day. The non- unionists left their posts and fled. The pro- cessicn then countermarched on Blue Island avenue to T wenty-second street and thence .to Centre avenue and Eighteenth street, where another mass meeting was hold, and shortly before noon the procession disbanded. Aside from the excitement caused bv the parade, everything was quiet and orderly in the lumber district. The men in the parade were Norwegians. chiefly Poles, Some Bohemians, of the German, advised and orators the lumber handlers to bum the lumber yards if their demands were not complied with. Some of the Chicago manufacturers acoe- d«d to the demands of the men. while others closed their doors and declared they would not reopen them until the situation improved. in other cities. day Many New Yoik discuss workingmen took * holi- on the 1st to the final prswnta- tion of their demand for shorter liouse of labor, or to arrange for their participation in the short hour maas meeting iu Union square at night. The open meeting in Union Square at night was par- the ticipated city, in by number every trade organization in the of workingmen taking part being estimated at nil the way from 20,000 to 40.000. The various organizations marc hid to the meeting place with bands of music and tran parencies and were ad- dressed in several languages from different stands. Extraordinary efforts had beau taken by the police to preserve order, aud UOOpoliee were massed in the vicinity of the Square, ready but to quell any disturbance that might occur, their services were not needed. The eight-hour movement was started at St. Louis. In some cases the employers coa- ceded tho demands of the workmen, and in other instances there was a flat refusal. In most cases immediate action was not taken, decision being reserved and conferences asked. At Boston the Trades Union of Carpenters, th« Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters Union, and Joiners, and the Plumbers’ eight 5,000 men in all, resolved tho to demand hours, and The to strike if demand was refused. Boston Master Build- ers’ ’Association, 200 strong, unani- mouslv adopted n manifesto condemn- ing the action of the workmen, lay- ing the whole blame on the labor unions, and complied declaring that the demands could not be with without disaster to the tmsi- ness and workingmen both, and that they would close up business rather than submit to any interference. The 3,000 employes of the various breweries in Milwaukee, Avis., demanded an increase in wages and threatened to strike if their do- aiand was not complied with. This would increase the number of unemployed men in that city to 10,000. At Cincinnati about 500 employes of fur¬ niture manufacturers and 100 employes of the Brunswick & Balko billiard table manu¬ facturers, went out in consequence of a re¬ fusal to grant ton hours’ pay for industry, eight hours’ work. In other branches of while there is a general feeling in favor of an eight hour day, nothing was done toward enforc¬ ing the system. At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the United rianomakers of America, held in New York, it was resolved to request oil workmen employed in the piano trade not to work longer than eight hours a day, the ques* tion of wages to bo arranged between em¬ ployes At Pittsburg, and employers. the Cabinetmakers’ Penn., Union, ft 0 strong, inaugurated a strike for eight hours’ labor. They demanded the same wages for eight hours’ work as they have been receiving for ten. The employers said The they Pittsburg could not accede to the demand. stone-cutters and bakers also moved for a reduction in the hours of labor. Tbe brass workers, how¬ ever, issued a circular to their employers say¬ ing tliat they have come to the conclusion that to demand the eight hour system at present would be demanded unwise and half embarrassing, holiday and they instead a on Saturday. and similar From other cities towns come reports to the above of demands of some kind or another by workingmen—generally for » reduction in the workiuc hours.

The contest bet ween the police and strikers in Chicago on the 3d was followed by a far more bloody encounter on tho night of tha 4th. A Chicago dispatch gives the following details: In response to a handbill invitation a large crowd gathered this evening Randolph on the plaza at Des Plaines and streets.

Fielden had just uttered an incondiary sentence, when Bonfleld cried: “l command vqu in the name of the law t > desist, and you,” turning to the crowd, “to disperse. ” Just as he began to speak the stars on the broad breasts of the blue coats, as they came marching down heard, the street reflector so quietly the that they of had not been ravs light from the neighboring street lamp.

VOL. 1. NO. 33. Sodom and Gomorrah. Two cities there stood in the mnlrt of ths plain, their And great was their glory and wide was reign; But sin was the path that their populace trod, And down on their heads fell the vengeance of God, Ah, little they thought, as they towered In their pride, Of the wrath and the ruin so soon to betide; Ah, little they dreamed, as the red morning cast Its lieams o'er their temples, that day was their last. The heavens were darkened, and forth from them came A tempest of brimstone, a whirlwind of flame, And the towers of their might and the halls of their mirth Were utterly swept from the face of the earth! The prince with, his wine and the slave with his crust, All, all who dwelt In them—those mansions of lust— From revels aroused and from slumbers awoke, To crumble to ashes, to melt into smoke I Oh, dreadful the doom of the cities of sin! The noon saw no trace that their splendor had been! For none but the good shall inherit the earth, The wicked shall weep o’er the day of their birth! —Franklin E. Denton in the Current. HUMOROUS.

A Punching Ulnb. A lady who has organized Sunday- school classes of London street boys tells of the organization of a singular club. She says: “The inherited love of drink ran in the veins of many of my scholars, and they showed evident signs that they were prepared to tread in the footsteps of their parents. Several were drunk regularly on pay-day, aud often besides; and when I came back to London after my summer and autumn absence, and re¬ assembled the class, one extra candid boy volunteered that they had been pretty nearly all the worse for driDk at Christ¬ mas. To counteract this tendency, I started a temperance society, and though they broke their pledges sadly, especially at first, it has gained ground and done good. I also established a savings bank, hoping that they would learn to value the feeling of possessing a few shillings, instead of being absolutely penniless. Another institution of a rather curious nature was set on foot by mutual agree¬ ment among themselves, in imitation of one that flourished in Bloomsbury. It went by the name of the Punching Club, and aimed at checking the horrible lan¬ guage which they told me (for an innate refinement prevented even the lowest and roughest from ever using a bad word in my presence) had become a kind of sec¬ ond nature to them; each member under¬ took that if he swore, he would patiently submit to receive a ‘punch’ from each member who might hear him. I believa this penance had a marvellous effect on the vocabulary of the street. By degrees it fell into abeyance, and a marked in¬ crease of bad language was the result; but quite lately it has been re-established, entirely by the boys’ own wish, in a mod¬ ified form, the ‘punch’ being exchanged for a half-penny fine.” Bicycling on a Frozen Canal. “I took a spin up a canal in Pennsyl- z _ vania once,” smooth, said a wheelman. had been scored “The’^ surface was but a little by sharp skates and the particles of ice were blowing up and down the canal.
