SO PERISH ALL TRAITORS TO THE GREAT C*U8E.” EIGHT BUILDINGS FALL, Burring Workmen In the* Ruins—Nobody Killed Outright. New York, April 13.—Bight five story homes in Sixty-second street, near Tenth avenue, fell in this afternoon, burying the men employed thereon. Up to 4:30 p. m. ten persons had been taken from the ruins. They were seriously but not fatally injured and were removed to a hospital. Gangs of men are at work on the debris, «a it is feared that many others of tbe workmen are still buried. The buildings were erected last winter, and were reported by the building depsrtuient as unsafe. Workmen were engaged in re pairing defects in the houses at the time the accident occurred. No mortar w*« used in tho construction of the walls, the bricks being held in place by sand. Nearly fifty men were employed in and about the buildings. Thirteen of these were injured—one fatally. Rumors are afloat that a number are still buried in the rains. The most superficial examination ot the debris showed the cause of tbe disaster to be wretched workmanship and poor materials. The mortar contained little or no sand, but loam or mud instead, and was wholly un fit for use. This aud the fact »hat the building had been erected during cold weather of wet and frozen bricks were directly ths cause of the collapse. Tho builder, Charles A. Baddensick, who was respon sible, left the neighborhood in a carriage immediately after tbe disaster and drove to his residence in East Seventy-seventh t treet. Where he went from there nobody could learn. The police, who arresteil tbe master bricklayer, Cbas. Frank, could not find the bailder. Buddensick has been for years in trouble with the authorities on account of “akin” buildings he has put up. The evidence given by Frank aud Cbas. 8wsz*r, another bricklayer, is very damaging to Buddensick. BUDDENSICK’4 BUILDINGS. Eight More of Them Gondemned—The Builder Reloased on Bull. New York, April 15.-Charles A. Bud- densicc, the builder of the eight buildings that fell down on Sixty-second street on Monday, accompanied by his counsel, ex- Judge Fullerton, appeared In the York- ville Police Court this afternoon. A cer tificate from W. O. Le Boutie'.ler, house surgeon of the Roosevelt hospital, was produced. This stated that Lewis Wal ters, the framer who died from Injuries received in the disaster, met his death at the hospital from the shock and internal injuries. Assistant District Attorney Purdy argued that the buildings were dangerously constructed, and that the offense might be proven to be murder in tbe first degree. After argu ment for and against bail, Justice Murray placed th eamount of Buddensick’a Pond at $30,009, which was furnished. other buildings condemned. The building examiners who yesterday inspected a row of eight bouses on Elev enth avenue, extending from Sixty-first to Sixty-second street, which were bnilt by Buddensick, reported to the building de- pa rtment to-day that the structures were unsafe in many respects and In an ex tremely dangerous condition. They were ordered to be taken down at once.

When the train bearing them drew into tbe station it wau greeted with hearty oheera. An ad- dress ot welcome was delivered and much enthnsiasm prevails. DID DOT REPEAT THEIR DUBLIN TRIUMPH in Cork. Everything within the power ot the loyalists to do was done to make tbe reception of the royal visitors a success, and the managers ot the demonstration remained up most of the night to make euro of the arrangements. When the Prince and Princess emerged from tbe railway station at- ter their arrival In the city they were greeted with cheer alter cheer. Daring tneir progress in tbe parade work men and buys ran alongside ibeir carriage and kept up cheering to drown the hisses ot the Nationalists, who lined the entire reu.e and made a continual hostile demonstration, Tbe circuit of leaguers aroused tbe loyaista >o a bigb pitch of enthusiasm, and they mode tn-- streets echo with sbojits of wel- come. The wonder is tbat there was no violent breach of the peace during the royal progress, for it proceeded amid a continued warfare of words and taunts between loyalists and Nationalist!, whose numbers were shout equally divided. It is thought that tne presence of the Princess and her ladylike gracionsneas to the people along tbe streets was the ele ment tbat conqnered Irish »allantry. John O’Connor, Nationalist, ii. P. for Tipperary, marched at the bead of the procession ot leagues, - who closely followed Ihe royal procession, and esng, "God sava Ireland,” every time the loyalists or tlielr bind started up ' God Save the Queen," or "God Save tbe Prince ot Wales.” Tbe Prince ot Wales betrayed some feeling when he replied to the address of welcome pre sented by the magistrates of Cork. He said he was glad to hear tbe expres sion of loyality to the British con- stitntion and to tbe Queen which the address contained, and hoped that every person possessing iDllneocein Ireland would exert it to avoid dissensions, which would Interfere with the object and progress of bis present tour through tbe country, and unite to promote tbe real welfare of the Irish people. Tbe Prince and Princess, soon aiier the conclusion of tbe procession, departed for Queenstown. Woile the Prince and Princess were be- (ng driven in procession, a NaiionalUt threw a vegetable at the royal carriage. The vegetable struck one of the footmen Withiconsid-rable force, and if he bed not bem.by the progress of the carriage moved across its path, it might have struck the Princes!. Many stones were thrown by roughs at the people who followed and cheered the royel carriage, and the police several times fired at the roughs. No injuries are re- ported.

When Dr. Sbrady led General Grant's house after ihe consultation today, he said, in answer to a question put to him, that the general condition o! the patient was improved. “How do you account for this steady improvement?” was aektd. “The General’s bad attacks have been earned by complications associated with tbe usual progress of tbe disease,” was the answer. “They have been qyercjme for the present. Of coarse he is better tempo rarily. The irritation in tbe throat lias been relieved, and the result is what the bulletins have stated.” “And do tho bulletins state everything?” was asked. “The bulletins deal with the plain fact* of the case and with facta only,” responded Dr. Sbrady. THE GENERAL MAKES A COMPARISON. During the consultation this afternoon, Gen. Grant remarked to hfs physicians In these words: “The doctorsontalde, I am informed, are writtog about my case, and talking abont it, Aid some of them reem to think they know more abont it than yon gentlemen do.

Coax, April 15.—Early in tbe evening, the Nationalist! held a mass meeting, where ioflammatory speeches were maue and the latest London newspapers con. talnlng accounts ot the royal progress were burned in a bonfire. After the mats meeting the Nationalists scattered through th. city in parlies numbering from 60 to 5C3 men. Doors and winduws were smash ed, flags and dec' rations were torn down and heaped upon blazing bonfires, and many gun stores were broken into tor the purpose ot arming tbe mob. Po licemen when encountered singly or tn small sqnada, were attacked and beaten nnmerctmUy with their own truncheons. In many caeca the police rallied and charged desperately upon the mob, but they were invariably surrounded and re- poised. The police then resorted to a tree nee of their revolvere and bayonets. It was hand to band fighting ot the most desperate sort, the police standing back and receiving and in- Dieting terrible injuries. At midnight the streets were iiractirally in the pome salon ot tbe mob. The policemen who remained uninjured could not attempt to do more than maintain tbelr positions and fight on the defensive.

Up to this evening there was a (eating ot relief in government circlet over the news from Cork, which all tended to show that the visit ot the Prince of Wales to tbat city bad passed off quietly and had evoked an unexpected amount ot enthnsiasm. £srlv in the evening the government officials declared that the attempts of the NatlonalUts to organize an oiqwsition had raanlted In fallnre, and that ths extent of the loyalist demonstration was surprising.

St. Louis, April 14.—A sensation wss caused at the South Hotel between 11 and 12 o’clock to-day by the discovery ol tbe mutilated body of a man packed in a trunk which was taken ont of a room. The stench from the trunk caused the dls- covery. The hotel register shove tbat on March 30 a gentleman registered as Walter H. Lennox Maxwell, M D„ from London, and waa assigned to that room. Oo open- ing tbe trunk it was fonnd lint the bead of the man was evered fromhis body, and written on a paper inside the trank were the words: "So perish all traitors to the great cause." The trunk snd contents were taken to the roorgne. Maxwell is described as a very OIRLIBH-LOOKING BLONDE yonng man, wearing a dark, woolly cuta way salt ol English stuff. His face was clean-shaven and he wore bis hair bang-fashion, not parting It at all. He was seen iu company frequently with a dark-looking gentleman about five leet ten inches in height This gentleman registered at C Arthur Preller, London, Eng. A telegram had previonsiy been received from Preller neklng whether Maxwell was a gnest at the house. He answored in tbe affirmative, and he soon came od. Both men occupied the same room. Maxwell left the hotel a week a.o Sunday night, but he had paid bis full week's board promptly, and it waa sup* posed that ho wonld return any day. No suspicion was attached to hia absence litl the horrible smell called attention to bis room and led to the open.ngot the trank.

Comparative Merit, of the Meat nnd Milk Producer*. Na*li?lUe Amcrir&a. Tho recent introduction of Holstein cat tle into the State of Tenneisee has le-1 to frequent inquiries as to their rtlativn merits, as compared with Jerseys and Short-horns. Fora general purposer w the Holstein li unequalled. At a milk producer this breed stands at the head for quantity, though for richness snd butter- making qualities the Jersey has ntvtr Wn equalled. While the Hstotttomay five a higher milk and butter record, yet it is not the best batter cow, for the qan* i-y of butter, as compare J with that of tho Jersey, is inferior in beauty, flavor ai.d richness, and tho Jersey will yield a larger quantity in proDortioa to the amount of food consumed. The Holstein ill lny on fat with more rf-ulim-^, i tore hardy and will stand rough neege much better. This bre#4 lofes the opta fields and cannot be confined inclosequor- ters with s) little damage to health as tha Th*' j'er-o y k only suitable for the pro* Auction of milk and battsr, and will prob ably always be preferred for tbatpnrpoee. The Short-horns, tha product of high culture and high feeding, exhibit A combi- lion of rapid and Urge growth, with *n ■nittnde for fatteniLg,of which their spies- dil square form and symmetry, good tem per and docility are such happy accom paniments. They are jyar ezetutnu the beef-producing breed, an l will probably *1- A'it\ - itaud at tin* h- i \ ' -r t! v - As milk producers they take aninfe.’Li; rank, though as celebrated a breeder ui Mr. Mark Cockrell claims that selection* may be made that will stand a very hi. Lj test. The Holstein cattle are not so good for beef as the Short*born«, nor so good for batter as the Jersey^ though for the latiir purposes they excel the tinort-borns and for the former the Jerseys. It is a breed that combine all three qualities—milk but* ter and beef-producing—in a highly rs* •pectable degree. The quality of the tt’f is very high, bat not equal to the Short horns, and the milk, though more copiers than the Jersey, Is not so rich in cream and butter-making properties. For the average farmer, however, we are inclined to the belief that the Holstein cattle wilt take a very high rank and be immense y popular. A Great Discovery* Mr. Wm.
