THE MEN CONTINUE ITEM A General Strike Consierded Hardly Probable. PTJBLIO SYMPATHIES ABOUSED Great Destitution Prevails, Bat the Lenders Are Confident That a Great Victory is Nearly at Hand. AND THE PENSION present the headquarters of the strike com' mittee and is likely to become the centre of a movement in behalf of labor, the ramifica tion of which will touch every British em plover and capitalist. To day Burns and the other leaders in the movement were thoroughly active. Besides his usual oratorical and secretarial works, Burns drove rapidly in a cab to the, offices of the different dock companies.

Ue was eagerly followed by the more ardent of the strikers, who anxiously waited outside for the still deferred announcement that the companies conceded the only points now disputed. PUBLIC SYMPATHY WITH THE STRIKERS. Public feeling, both in the East End and in the city commercial circles, strongly favors the strikers. Local sympathy is actively exerted to supplement the various public subscriptions to afford practical relief. As an instance of the many spontaneous helps, Mr.

Lafone. proprietor of Butlor's wharf. Bermondsey, has given each striker two shillings to tide him over Sunday. To day the employes of Yarrow who are under a heavy contract to supply the government with torpedo appliances, struck, while 6,000 iron workers at the Isle of Doges have gone out for an advance of six pence. The dock laborers on strike number 110, 000.

As an immediate sequence of their ces sation 20,000 stevedores, 6,000 lightermen, 3,000 olerks and nearly 50,000 grain weighers and laborers are compulsorily idle. The Melbourne Trades Council, representing all branches of labor, has called a mass meeting for Monday to raise funds for the strikers. AN EXCURSION POSTPONED UNEXPECTED TERMINATION OF A PROPOSED TRIP TO THE SHORE A Scene Which Was Witnessed by an Interested Crowd, Bat Which Was Not Interesting to Two Persons. You will go with other women, will you Take that, and that, and that! You are a dirty scoundrel A young; woman dressed in black, with a baby In her arms, almost screamed the words as she belabored with her thin fists a young; man, very flashily dressed, who carried a club satchel and a heavy silver headed cane in bis left band, while bis right arm was engagod In supporting a big, coarse looking woman whoso smiles beamed upon htm. The pair were going to Atlantic City and bad reached Second and Cbcstuut shortly before dark lost When they got below Third street an open car of the Lancaster Avenue Line came along and without waiting for the car to stop the young woman with the baby bounded from her seat to the ground and ran up In front of the oouple.

Her face was livid with rage ana hor big black eyes fairly emitted flashes of lire. "You will go with other women, eh she exolaimed, and, with the baby under one arm. she struck the man again and again. He was dumfounded and so surprised that he could not move. A FINANCIAL RAID.

"Here, take ttalsbaby," the womanscrearoed. "Give me your salary, give me all the money you've got. Hurry up." He took the baby on one arm and with his other band extracted from bis breast pocket a roll or bills, which be meekly handed over. Now, Where's that woman she yelled. and, looking up Third stroot, she saw the big blonde hastily turning down Market street.

She started after her, but as soon as the big woman reached Second street she jumped Into a cab and after giving hasty Instructions to the driver the vehicle rattled up Market street and, turning up Fourth street, was soon lost to view. Then the little woman in black returned and looked for her baby in the crowd, but it and Its temporary nurse were not to be found. NO PLACE LIKE HOME. "He told me to toll you tbat he went home," said one of the men. I'll give him home when I get there." she said, and there was a something in her voioe whwta Indicated tbat there were troublous times ahead.

'That man is James B. Fraley." she ex plained, "and he Is my husband. We live on Lancaster avenue, near Thirty ninth street, and he is employed as a traveling salesman by a Market street dry goods house. He Is only home about one week In each month and half of that be spends with that dizzy blonde. He has neglected me and his baby, as I cant get any good ont of him I propose to let tbe public know bow he has treated me and then leave him.

What if my name does get In the papers? I am not to blamo." The woman explained that she suspected her husband was going to Atlantic City with the woman and was going down to the foot of Chestnut street to receive him there, but she overtook him on the way.

THE HAMILTON TRAGEDY.

Humors About trie Case Floating Aronnd Atlantic City. Special Telegram to Ths Tims. Atlantic Citt August 81. Chasing rumors was tbe main occupation of the reporters who are engaged on the Hamilton case to day. The departure of Hamilton on the 7.30 express tbis morning for New York killed off two romantle oueg la reforence to his proposed marriage in the May's Landing attlo to the woman whom he acknowledged under oatb to be his wife, and tbe story that he Intended to make a statement.

Whon Hamilton reached Now York he went direct to the office of Lawyer Hoot and detailed to him the line of defense to be pursued by his Atlantlo City counsel, Perry, and It Is supposed the latter will goto New York to morrow and consult with tbe lawyers retained by Hamilton. Mr. Perry weot over to May's Landing this afternoon and found the captive woman In a sad plight. Hor despondoDcy Increases as tbe days wear by and no hope ol an early release Is given by her counsel. She is nursing the 1o hor distracting notion that her husband means to leave bar to her and it may be said that there are agreat many hore of a similar belief.

Then tho rumor that, she was tht wife of Joshua Mann before she met Hamilton and made a trip to Europe with him. bns sprung, it Is said, from Hamilton sources, and will be followed by an attoinpt to show that she is guilty of bigamy: that her marriage. If ever there was one solemnised with Hamilton, Is therefore Illegal and that he can appear as a witness against ber should it be bis Intention to rid himself of her. His evidence, as he was the only witness, would be a powerful weapon to use, If it Is true that Mrs. Hamilton was already married when she espoused Hamilton, the fact may Hoar upthe mystery of the ralewlnvdlamonds.

The story goes that. Joshua Mann and Mrs. Swlnton blackmailed her for so much that she was compelled to pawn or sell them In order to procure money with which towlsfy tholr demands. Wants to Be Cremated Alive to Prove 'the Truth of Spiritualism. Special Telegram to Tax Trains.

BUT LITTLE PROGRESS MADE Belief That ths State Will Me to Depend Upon Circumstantial Evidence to Convict the Accused. Special Telegram to Tbb Tikks. Chicago, August 81, It was hotter than yesterday, and Judge, prisoners and attorneys in the Cronin murder trial sweltered through the day as best they could, each swinging one of Sheriff Matson's fans the livelong It was not a time for the usual listlessness attending torrid weather, however, every attorney being keenly alert as if his own life were depend ing on the result. Each of the dozen attor neys in the case knows that his every aim Is so closely watched by the press and public that while his actions may not make his reputation1, any slip may effectually ruin it. So far in the case there has been a little brilliant fencing, bnt the only sharp and un expected move was that of State's Attorney Longenecfcer, in demanding an Immediate trial when all the opposing attorneys counted confidently on delay.

The usually monotonous work of selecting a jury has not yet lost its first interest, Much of the future course of prosecution and defense can usually be told by the preliminary examination of tbe talesmen. The Cronin case is ao exception, and part of the case of tbe state is as clearly shown as If the close mouthed State's Attorney had freely told it CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. The one central and bloody fact in the case, the actual murder of Dr. Cronin, must be proved by circumstantial evidence. This is absolutely certain from the questions asked of the prospective Jurors by the State's Attorney.

Not a man is passed over to the de fense unless the btate is absolutely certain he will give due weight to creditable circum stantial evidence. This fact was brought ont plainly during the first proceedings of the morning session, William 8. Blgley, who had been partially examined yesterday, was again asked to un dergo examination. The facts were first elicited that Bigley knew Alexander Snllivan and was a member of the Irish American Club. Abandoning this line, the State's At torney asked "Do you believe In capital punishment where the conviction is entirely on circnm stantial evidence?" I do not.

I do not think I should decide against the defendant in a case of circumstan tial evidence," was the answer. The State's Attorney instantly challenged the juror for cause, and every fan in the court room stopped waving and every head bent eagerly forward to catch the Judge's ruling on what might mean the difference between lite and death to the prisoners. THE JUDGE'S OPINION. Said Jndge McConnell I am under the impression, while I may sustain this challenge, that that line of questioning to a Juror who has not yet been instructed as to what constitutes circnmstantial evidence might result in disqualifying good jurymen. Any juryman who accepts the popular definition of circumstantial evidence would conolude that it might mean circumstances that did not convince his mind with the same degree of positiveness as direct evidence.

Now, circumstantial evidence, if worth anything at ail, must be as positive in eltect as direct evidence." QUESTIONS FOB It was finally agreed by the Court and the attorneys of both sides that a talesman who could net answer, negatively the following question shonld be excused for cause If evidence were introduced which was entirely circumstantial, but was of such character as to convince yonr mind beyond rea sonable donbt that the defendants, or either of them, were guilty of murder as charged in tbe indictment, would you have any con selections scruples against inflicting the death penalty answered In the affirmative and was excused for cause. AIM or THE ATTORNEYS. At the close of the morning session the State had used one peremptory challenge and accepted four Jurors. It seemed to be the one aim of the lawyers on each side to getrid of as many talesmen for cause as possible. Each seemed anxious to make each prospective jnror retire In short order, always provided no peremptory challenge was wasted.

With this apparent end in view Judge Wing started in on the afternoon session and in a few momonts made the first candidate admit that be was prejudiced. Judge McConnell then took a hand and expressed a strong opinion of any juror who would not agree on the law and the evidence without allowing his prejudice to interfere. This was the only thing to vary the examination, which dropped into a tiresome and monotonous routine. One after another a dozen talesmen were excused for cause, Judge Wing raising a laugh by getting a talesman to say that he knew of no form of oath which would make a man who had an opinion change his mind. HE WAS A PBESBYTEWA1T.

Judge Wing struck one man who seemed all that could be desired, but in the course of examination he said he belonged to the Presbyterian Church. The lawyers for the defense all leaned over and whispered to get rid of him. Judge Wing tried for half an hour to pick some flaw in the gentleman's opinions, but without success and finally challenged himiperemptorily on behalf of Coughlin. This made one challenge each used by the State and defense out of the one hundred allowed each side. Subsequently Judge Wing challenged John J.

Karslen, William lhorn and James Hogg peremptorily for Coughlin and began the examination of Big ley, tne xnsnman. Court adjourned until Monday moraW. leaving Bigley, Lillihridge, George Repp and W. S. Lathrop in the hands ot the bailiff until that time; WALKER BLAINE DISAPPEARS.

State Department Officials Alarmed ot His Absence. Special Telegram to Thk Trass. Washington, August 81. Where la Walker Blaine? His office in tbe Department of Btate knows blm not. His whereabouts are unknown, his colleagues are not In communication with him and his mys terious absence causes unfelrned anxiety.

It Is believed he is all right, yet hla mysterious disappearance excites some alarm. It may be remembered that when President Harrison quftted Bar Harbor Walker Blaine bad to remain behind to nurse a black eye Incurred by a tumblo off a buck board. Two weeks ago young Mr. Blaine left Bar Harbor and went to New York. From that point his trail Is lost, hence tbe State Department officials are rather uneasy.

It Is thought tbat the young diplomatist maybe at New London, where he has a lady love, whose name has not yet been disclosed In connection with his. If bo Is not there then his abrupt disappearance may assume very sorlous aspect. INJURED AT A FIRE. Mrs. Hoffman Becomes Excited and Jumps From a Window.

Mrs. Solforlno Hoffman, who lives with her husband on the third floor of 796 Lombard street, was badly injured yesterday during a flro In her dwelling. A gasoline lamp exploded in the rear room of tho third story about seven o'clock In the morning, causing frreat excitement among the families living the tenement house. Mrs. Hoffman thought the house was burning down, and she jumped from the third story window to a low shod and from there rolled to the ground.

One of tho most striking exemplifications of the great progress which is being made in the science of modern decorative art is to be found in the rooms of the big pile of marble on the site of old Penn Square, which are now being fitted up for occupancy by the city officials. In the rooms which Director Stokley will occupy no money, time or thought has been spared in making them complete.

The walls are superbly decorated. Beginning at the floor there is a strip of black marble, about a foot in width, extending around the main room, which is about fifty feet long by thirty five feet wide. Above this is a narrow strip of marble in a lighter hue, and then come slabs of cream colored Tenncsee marble about two and one half feet in width, tbe top being crowned with another piece of the black marble in beautifully moulded design. tinted walls. The walls are tinted an electric blue and the harmony of the beautiful shade is unbroken to the ceiling, which is about twenty five feet high.

On this part of the room the artisan has exhausted his skill in design and execution. At the edge of the ceiling, around the walls, is a myriad of mouldings, which are colored in pleasing harmony in gold, dull and bright, pistache green and the most delicate of baby blues. Within this is stenciled a border of twining vines in gold and a peacock feather ornaments the centre of each angle. The backgTonnd looms up in delicate cream tint, which throws out in bold relief the magnificent centre piece of plaster of paris, from which the chandelier of oxidized silver is pendant. MYTHOLOGICAL STUDIESj On each corner of the inner border of gold is a mythological picture, one of Justitia, holding the scales in one hand and a wand in the other another is Pax, emblematical of the Kiss of Peace another is Virtue, armed with a bludgeon, and the remaining one is Sapicntia.

Tho furniture of this room will be in highly polished antique oak, and the deft fingers of Persian maidens will weave the gay Oriental rugs with which the mosaic tiled "floors will be strewn. The doors are in hand carved oak and the main door is of marble pillars in Gothic architecture. This room is in the southeast corner of the building, looking out upon tbe courtyard. North of it is the retiring room of the head of the Department of Public Safety, the walls of which are painted in Venetian red, with heavy borders of dull gold on walls and ceiling. At one end of the room is the lavatory and the bath room, both of which are partitioned off entire in marble to a height of eight feet, and contain the finest specimens of artistic plumbing, everything being finished in nickel plate.

clerks' quarters. To the south of the main room is the office of the clerks and it is arranged after the style of the office of the Prefect of Police, in Paris. One wall is covered with an oaken rack, which contains a space for the name, number and pedigree of every police officer in the department, and there are two big bookcase desks flanking this on either side. In this room the walls are very beautifully tiled in bright colors. Another portion of the police department, which is intended to take the place of that now at the Central Station, occupies tbe east end of the sixth floor and both sides of the corridor running parallel with Juniper street.

Here there are a dozen rooms, all very elegantly fitted up, the walls being tiled to a height of about fonr feet, the remaining part, extending to the ceiling, being painted in fanciful tints and handsomely designed borders. On the Juniper street side of the corridor are the roll call rooms for lieutenants and special officers and the lavatories. On the inner side of the corridors are several private retiring rooms for officers and witnesses and a detention room for the latter. MODEL PRISON. The cells, which are in a large room on the inside of tho corridor, are models of sanitary arrangement and many a poor mortal now dwelling in the slums would be content to take nphis abode there.

There are four tiers of cells and thirty two in all. Thoy are open at the top, reaching to within three feet of the ceiling, and are open in front, like a cage. They are separated by walls of sheet iron. The walls of the rooms are tiled to the top in a mottled design in cream and pale blue. The quarters of the keepers are very nicely arranged and altogether it is a model prison.

In some of the larger rooms the Court of Common Pleas and others will be held, including a court room for the committing Magistrate. POBLIO SAFETY. Director Wagner will have sumptuously furnished rooms on the second floor, facing on Juniper street and to the north of the offices to be used by Mayor Fitler. These rooms there are two of them will be furnished In a style similar to the offices of the Mayor. The desks are of polished oak and there are book cases and map racks of solid mahogany on the walls.

The couches and reclining chairs are now being mado and will be of hand carved mahogany, covered with turkey red leather. The inner doors of these rooms will be of embossed Turkey leather and will swing on hinges specially cast for them out of solid bronze and bearing the coat ef arms of the city. They cost $27 per pair. Throughout all the rooms there are handsome nickel plated railings, with wire nettings of polished copper. Persons competent to express an opinion say that nowhere in the world can there be found a more luxuriously appointed set of rooms for the public officers of a city.

Herald. London, August 81. At 5 o'clock to day the dock directors refused to accept the proposition drawn up last night by representatives of the shipping interests, wharfingers, granary keepers and dock men. This proposition contained most of the original demands of the strikers and provides for a minimum pay of six pence per hour. The dock directors were in Bession for several hours.

They know the strength of the opposition and that they can count not only their own men, but wharfingers and the other shipping interests as being against them. In spite of all this, they rejected the proposition and decided to await the course of events, reckoning among these a possible general strike on Monday. A GENERAL STRIKE IMPROBABLE. The general Impression is that a general strike is improbable. The strike of the coal workers is at an end.

London is not to be shrouded in darkness, as the company which lights four fifths of the city has acceded to the demands of their men, which amounted to an Increase of half a penny per ton for moving coal. Naturally the longer the strike continues the worse is the destitution that is always large feature in London life. Mow it is enormous, for, in addition to the strikers, there are thousands of destitute men who rushed to London hoping to secure employment and were unable to do so on account of the atti tude of the men whose places they hoped to fill. It is claimed to night that the largest mass meeting ever held in London will be organized to morrow in Hyde Park by the strikers. THE MEN WANT A SETTLEMENT.

A destitute, disappointed crowd of some hundreds hung round the Wade Arms, Jeremiah street, to night For the most part they were men on the verge of desperation and they looked upon this time as the decisive moment and had fully made up their minds to get a settlement one way or another. The committee were in conclave and the door of their deliberation room as besieged by an ngly, clamoring set of men, who were divided into small sets of two and three, commissioned as deputationists from various trades to interview Mr. Burns. About 9 o'clock Burns responded to the demand made for an audience to the strikers, and, leaving the committee room, came to the corridor, where he was immediately surrounded by an irritated, undecided band of men. Some wanted money, others tickets for food.

"Now," said Mr. Burns, "I'll take yon one at a time. What do you want HAVE NOTHING TO EAT. "Well, me and my mate have come from Bermondscy, I have a wife and four children hosawifeandnvechildren. We have nothing to eat and no chance of anything to morrow and we want to know what is to be done." "Well," replied Mr.

Boms, "when we entered tipon this strike we knew that all of us, you and every one, must be prepared for some personal suffering. The committee cannot give relief wherever they would like. That is impossible. We will do our best. We embarked upon a business that involves a lot of hunger and suffering.

Both you and the men you have intrusted with the responsibility of leadership have acted in a brave and moderate manner that has commanded the admiration of the civilized world. But we must exercise patience. That is all I can say to you. Perhaps in an hour or two we may have an announcement to make that may please you or may uot, bnt that may put an end to the strike one way or the other. Wait and hope, my friends." POOR COMPORT.

"That's all very well, but is me and my wife and little children to go without dinner to morrow I can only advise you to buckle to and as yon have done, do again, if there is no help for it," "What? Go without another Sunday's dinner for two Sundays running I won't do it" "What'll you doP' asked Mr. Burns in that fierce, imperative tone that asserts itself with the men. Well, I won't go without another Sunday's dinner. I won't see my wife and children go without another Sunday's dinner not for nothing." This is a sample of a dozen scenes that occurred to night. At midnight a manifesto calling for a general strike was recallod and an appeal issued asking for financial help from all trades unions in England and abroad.

LONDON DOCKMEN HOPEFUL. Indications That the Strike Is Near Ins a Successful Ending. Copyright, 1889. by the N. Y.

Associated Press. London, August 81. The long smouldering discontent of the laborers in the London docks received a strong stimulus by the revelations before the Lords' committee on "sweating" last year. The leaders of the labor irovement, seizing the opportunity, rigorously prosecuted a campaign in the East End and fanned the embers of discontent nntil the dockmen, roused from the lethargy Induced by their sordid surroundings, submitted to the guidance of Burns, their champion, and other active spirits, their concerted action leading to the present crisis. This was only done slowly, the conditions under which labor is employed, especially the large overplus of workers anxiously fighting at the dock gates each morning to obtain oven a few hours' employment, rendering it impossible to take decisive action until the workmen were fully prepared.

The continuance of the strike for seventeen days and the strikers' determined attitude now show that the leaders carefully calculated the probable course of the movement before notice of the strike was formally DOCKMEN DRIVEN TO DESPERATION. Interviews held to day with police officials, Coroner's officers and other functionaries Whose duties bring them into daily contact with the dockmen and those of allied employments, show that for years past the condition of the dockmen's families has been as bad as any of the worst cases revealed before the "sweating" committee. The local Radical clubs and other organizations are fully alive to the importance of striking while the iron is hot. They are greatly assisted by lecturers and by a house to house propaganda intended to foment discontent and forward what, in view of tonight's sitnation and the strike committee's latest manifesto, promises to develop into an organized crusade against capitalism generally. A GREAT VICTORY PROBABLE.

The aspect of affairs in the Eiist End of London to day was quieter than might have been expected. The strikers who have not joined in the processlous discuss the situation ealraly and appear to be resolute. The striken adhere to their full demands, though the countenances of many who hurriedly enter and depart from the relief committee's rooms plainly reveal sharp privation. Altogether the position indicates the near approach of a great Socialist victory, bringing the labor question and the eight hour movement prominently to the front.
