WAITING. FOR DEATH,

"Warden Dnrston Muses to Disclose
the Date of Execution.
INVITATIONS ALREADY SENT OUT.
The Victim's Brother Mar Decide
Claim the Dead Body.
to
MAKING CHANGES IN THE DEATH CHAIR
All the preparations are being completed
for the execution of Murderer Kemmler by
electricity at Auburn, but -while the guests
have been invited, the date of the legal
homicide is still kept secret. Kemmler keeps
up his spirits, sines to a banjo accompani
ment and professes to have no fear. His
brother talks of claiming the dead body,
And thus heading off the scientists.
rSFKCIAIi TELEGEAM TO Till DISFATCS.1
Attbtbk, August 4. While none of the
persons invited to witness the execution of
Kemmler arrived in town to-day, and infor
mation regarding the affair continued just
as hard to secure and just as contradictory
as ever, the feeling in Auburn as to the exe
cution coming off has changed remarkably
in a very short time. A day or two ago no
body here believed there would be any exe
cution, now everybody believes that there
will be one, and that it will take place very
Goon.
The only addition to the town's usual
population 60 far consists of newspaper re
porters and telegraph operators, but the
town folks have waked up to something like
the state of excitement that attended the at
tempted execution last May. Crowds walk
past the jail, gaze curiously through the
big rate aud speculate as to which particu
lar cell Kemmler occupies. As a fact there
is almost no news to be had. It is pretty
certain, however, that the execution will not
take place until Tuesday night at the
earliest.
EJYITATI.OK-S ISSUED.
"Warden Dnrston has issued his invita
tions, a fact that was first ascertained from
sources outside the jail. The invitations re
quest that all report to the warden at the
jail at 7 o'clock Tuesday night. The law
permits the "Warden to invite 21 witnesses,
specifying that the number shall inclnde 2
physicians, 12 reputable citizens and
7 assistants, the assistants to include
the electricians. Of these the "Warden has
named 16. They are Dr. Carlos McDonald,
Dr. Samuel B. "Ward, of Albany; Dr. A
B. Sonthwick, of Albany, one of the State
Commission, and generally called the father
of the electrical death law; Dr. E. C.
Spitzka, of New York; George E. Tell, ot
Buffalo; Dr. C. M. Daniels, of Buffalo; Dr.
Charles Powell, of Buffalo; Deputy Coroner
"W. T. Jenkins, of Hew Xork- Dr. Lewis
Balcb, of Albany, Secretary of the
State Board of Health; Dr. "W. J. Nellis,
of Albany; Dr. Henry A. Crague, of Corn
ing; ex-State Senator Daniel H. McMillen,
of Buffalo, who introduced the bill into the
Legislature; Hon John D. Stanchfield, of
Elmira; Tracy C. Becker, of Buffalo, the
referee in the Kemmler case; Bobert Dun
lap, of the Dunlap Cable News Company
of New Yark, aud Electrician C. B.
Huntley, of Buffalo.
MOEE ASSISTANCE NEEDED.
JOneJof the first 15, together with Elec
trician Huntley, are to be classed among
the assistants. There are, therefore, five
other assistants to be appointed. The
"Warden says two of these will be electricians
to help Mr. Huntley. He refuses to say
who the others will be. In addition to
these 16, District Attorney George T.
Quinby, of Erie county; Sheriff Oliver
A. Jenkins, of Erie county, and Justice
Henry A. Childs, who sentenced Kemmler,
will be present by the specification of the
law. "Warden Durston has sent them in
vitations. Kemmler can also have two
ministers if he wishes, and Chaplain Yates
and Mr. Houghton, his spiritual adviser,
will undoubtedly be present The warden
himself will make up the 27 who can be ad
mitted. "Warden Dnrston was vigorous in his as
sertion that Kemmler is as well physically
and mentally as he has been at any time
since his confinement. He says that Kemm
ler is strong physically, and that he has
plenty of nerve to enable him to face death
without fear. Nobody believes this, and
when the time comes for Kemmler to die it
Is likely that there will be a frightful scene.
MAT FOOL THE PEOPLE.
Durston said he sent out the notices to the
witnesses on last Friday requesting them to
report at the prison to-morrow night If
this is true the experiment of killing
Kemmler by electricity will probably be
tried to-morrow night, unless Durston keeps
the witnesses in the prison for a day or two
and then has the execution take place in
the early hours of the morning.
The dynamo and its connections are in
good working order. The current is not
yet altogether steady, but it is sufficiently
steady to kill a man instantly if there is
any virtue at all in electricity as an execu
tioner. There is still a change to be made in the
chair. Becent experiments have shown
that in the prison arrangement it is quite
possible tor a man to wriggle around
so as to evade for a moment the
full force of the current The two elec
trodes, it will be remembered, touch the
body on the top of the head and at the base
of the spinal column. The head of the vic
tim is strapped tightly to the chair and the
electrode is pressed hard upon it by a stout
spring. Even if the victim shorld work
his head loose from the straps the spring
would keep the electrode tightly pressed
upon it
VJL GHASTLY POSSIBILITY.
-The electrode at the base of the snine.
however, has no spring, ana experiments
showed that a man could wriggle so as to
lift his spine just clear of the sponge. If
this should happen just as the current was
turned on, a horrible scene would probably
be enacted. Enough of the electric current
would undoubtedly jump to the victim's
to sudden, him, and ha would prob-
ably struggle and cry out in a horrible man
ner until through sheer exhaustion, he sank
back, when the electrode would touch him
fairly and still his agony. A stiong spring
will be attached to this electrode also and
an additional strap attached to hold the
body firmly down.
Some interest was added to the situation
by a rumor that Charles Kemmler, the
brother of the condemned man, had re
solved to come here and claim his brother's
body immediately after the execution, and
before the physicians could hold
an autopsy. The Tumor started
after a letter had been received by
the murderer from his brother, but whether
the letter contained any such statement te
this effect is impossible to learn. Hereto
fore the relatives of Kemmler have held
themselves aloof from him. and have taken
no more interest in his position apparently
than if he were a stranger to them.
THE IiATT "WITH HIM.
If Charles Kemmler does demand his
brother's body the law, it is believed, will
uphold him. If such a demana is made and
properly complied with it will be a sad blow
to the physicians who are probably attracted
more from a desire to study the effects of an
electric shock upon the human body than
from mere curiosity.
Kemmler himself seems to be happy
enough. He and his friend, the murderer
Fish, were allowed to spend a few hours
together this morning. Fish strummed on
his banjo and Kemmler sat on the table
swinging his lees and singing to its ac
companiment He seems to be well enough
physically, and has got back these last few
days into his normal apathetic mood. He
pays little attention to talks about his ap
proaching death, dutifully tells his spirit
ual advisers that he don't fear death, and
immediately falls to writing cards, singing
dismally. "Whatever religion Kemmler
ever got he has probably still got
There is the best of inside
authority for saying that Kemmler' re
ligion was the simple acquiescence of a vacant
mind in the truth of statements made him
by persons who he had learned to look upon
as friends, and the same way that a dog re
gards his master as a friend.
WILLING TO DIE.
He said to-day that he was perfectly will
ing to die, but it is evident that he scarcely,
if at all, realizes what the confession means.
Bev. Mr. Houghton was in to see Kemmler
to-day. Mr. Houghton says he has no idea
when the execution will come off.
It is highly probable that Superintendent
Barnes of the Fire Alarm Telegraph at
Bocbester, who "Warden Durston recently
engaged as electrical expert, will have noth
ing to do with the execution. Superintend
ent Barnes had intended to start for Auburn
at noon to-dayj but got a telegram from
the "Warden telling him not to come, but
to await a letter It has since
been learned that Mr. Barnes has been
doing considerable talking ot late, and the
warden has become incensed at him. It is
possible that the letter will iuform Mr.
Barnes that his services are dispensed with.
"Warden Durston's rather ostentatious an
nouncement to-night of the engagement of
Electrician Huntley, of Buffalo, is regarded
as an indication that he will take Mr.
Barnes place.
Mrs. Dnrston is visiting the house of her
friend, Mrs. Bapello, at Lawrence, near
Bockaway, L. L She will remain there
until after the execution.

ISrECIltTILEOIU-lt TO THE DISPATCH. T
Cape May, August 4. The Presldental
party have enjoyed a very pleasant but
busy day. This morning the President and
Secretary Blaine were closeted at the cot
tage and would see no one. They were
talking over affairs that need immediate
consideration, such as the tariff, the Lodge
bill and the reciprocity matter. At noon
they took a stroll along the beacb and
watched the antics of the bathers, aud wit
nessed what came near being a serious
drowning accident Dinner was partaken
of late, and after that a qniet rest on the
veranda was enjoyed.
This afternoon President Harrison, Post

Chicago, August 4. The 177 representa
tives of the 77,000 men belonging to the
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of
the United States filed into Plasterers' Hall
to-day and commenced their labors as dele
gates to the National Convention of the
Brotherhood. The convention has nnder
consideration several important changes in
tne constitution; which was adopted nearly
eight years ago, and which is Inade
quate to reach the issues which have
arisen in the past two '" years.
President Bowland,, of Cincinnati, called
the convention to order and introduced
Mayor Cregier to the delegates. The intro
duction was acknowledged by a roar of ap
plause, end Mayor Cregier responded in a
brignt speech of welcome. Judge'' Tulley
followed and was enthusiastically received.
"You have met at an opportune time' said
the distinguished jurist "a time most im
portant to the interests of labor. You come
here to-day to see the success of the work of
the past two years in making the eight
hour day an established fact with the
carpenters and joiners in Chicago."
Judge Tulley said: ''There is, however,
sqmething radically wrong there are, too
many strikes and too much disorder. A
strike means industrial war, and rights
founded on violence are unstable. Bights
should be sought by legislation, by arbitra
tion aud never by physical force."
Attorney Maher made a brief but telling
speech. He urged striot adherence to the
principles of unionism. He spoke of the
talk of individual action and freedom being
identical as all buncombe, and said the
capitalists who spoke in this strain were
holding the workmen up to the same aid,
telling them to fly without giving them the
wings with which to do so.
In the afternoon the Committee on Cre
dentials reported, the delegates received
their badges and passwords and the con
vention went into executive session. The
Secretary's report showed that from 2,000
members in 1681 the union had grown to
70,000, distributed in 704 unions. In 39
cities eight hours is a day's -work and in 234
places the men work nine hours; while in
260 cities work for the day is over at 4
o'clock. It is estimated that the total in
crease in wages in the country has been
$5,000,000 a year or from 25 to 75 cents a
day for each workman.
The strikes for the past year number 144,
and in only eight cases were unsuccessful.
About $500,000 was spent in death and siok
benefits for members and their families.
WAE OK KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
The New YofTt Central Obects to Inter

tSrXCXlL TELEClIUM TO TnH SISrATOH.
New Yobk, August 4. There has been a
weeding out of trainmen on the Hudson
Eiver division of the New York Central
Bailroad in the last two or three days.
General Manager J. M. Toucey said to-day
that 25 or 30 conductors, brakemen and
other trainmen between this city and Al
bany had been dismissed, but some of the
men think that 50 or more have been drop
ped, and the process still goes on. Most of
these men and all the dozen or so conductors
were in the freight service, and all, or near
ly all of them, are K. of L. Several of
them were members of grievance commit
tees of assemblies between New York and
Albany. The company has been besiezed
by these committees o orten Jn thi last five
months that it has probably got fired of it.
Manager Toucey said to-day that he and
the other officers were always glad to see
committees representing the train men as
such, but did not care to deal with outside
organizations. They were able to manage
the company themselves, he said, and they
did not need the assistance of non-railroad
men. General Manager Toucey gave as a
reason for dropping the men that this was
the dull season of the year, and the op
portunity was taken to weed out the poor
men.

A HORRIBLE EXPLOSION.
The President of a Denver Chemical Supply
House Cremated.
DmrvEE, August 4. Chemicals exploded
in the office of the Denver Firebrick and
Chemical Supply house this afternoon. The
entire front of the building was blown ont,
and men passing in front of the store at the
time were hurled across the street and badly
bruised. The building took fire instantly,
and when partially extinguished a body
burned to a crisp and supposed to be that
of the President of the company, Joseph
Boswortb, was taken out of the ruins. It is
thought that there is another still in the
building.
The body taken faom the ruins has been
identified as that of J. O. Bosworth. No
others were killed, though several had nar
row escapes from being caught in the
flames. Mr. Bosworth was working in the
center of the room making a flash light, and
the explosion of the chemicals he was using
must have caused instant death, as one arm
was blown off and the skull horribly
crushed. Loss Of building and stock,
$20,000; insured.

Is the Obserratlon f Mr. HIscock Toward Mr. tto
Faerun's Attitude,
In the Senate yesterday several of the
tariffreformerstookahand iu the revision
of the tariff on china and glassware in
which, after a spirited debate, they were
partially successful. Senator Plumb said,
that if tariff revision as advocated by the
Bepublican platform had meant an increase
of duties, he thought the results would have
been different at the polls.
'"WASHiNGTOir, August 4. In the Senate
this afternoon, the pending question being
on Mr. Vest's amendment to the chihaware
paragraph, reducing the duty on decorated
ware to 50 per cent ad valorem, and on
plain, undecorated ware to 40 per oent in
stead of 55 and 50, as recommended by the
Finance Committee, and Instead of 60 and
and 65 in the House bill, Mr. Manderson
said that he had voted on Saturday evening
against Mr. Vest's amendment, and would
do to again, because he thought that the
rates proposed in it were entirely too low.
He favored, however, the rates recom
mended by the Finance Committee. He
was a protectionist on principle, but he did
not believe in unnecessary high rates of
duty.
He believed (as had been said by Mr.
Hiscock the other day) in giving manufact
urers no greater rates of duty than were abso
lutely necessary for them to carry on their
business successfully.
Mr. Plumb read from a letter published
in the New York Times as to a conference
between (china manufacturers and impor
ters in which lower rates of duty than
recommended by the Finance Committee
had been accepted as mutually satisfactory.
He thought it would be an outrage.
MO SENSE IN HIGH BATES.
Mr. McPherson, alluding to Mr. His
cock's remarks as to his (McPherson's)
willingness to strangle the pottery interest
of New Jersey, apologized to the Senate for
having asked of that Senator an opportunity
to deny it That Senator had risen the
other day and assailed the people of his own
State in a manner which he (Mr. McPher
son) bad never seen equaled before, so that
no denial of anvthing he might say affecting
him was needed.
He was not aware that he had tried to
strangle the pottery industry, but the -Senator
from New York never looked at the
fact that there were thousands and tbou&
ands of importers in his own city and State
who would not very much relish his re
mark. He went on with an argument in-
support of Mr. Vest's amendment, asserting
that there was no sense in the high rates
proposed by the Finance Committee.
Mr. Dawes opposed the amendment, ad
vocated the committee amendment and
eulogized the protective system.
Mr. Vest .modified, his amendment by
changing the rate on plain white chinaware
to 45 iastsd ot 40 per cent The Motud-"
ment was then voted on, and was rejected,
yeas, 19; nays, 25,
Messrs. Ingalls, Manderson, Paddock and
Plumb voted aye with the Democrats, and
Mr. Payne voted no with the Republicans.
AMENDMENT AGREED TO.
The amendment of the Finance Commit
tee (making the rates 55 and 50 per cent)
was agreed to without a division. The next
question was on a committee amendment to
Paragraph 101, as to "all other china," etc.,
striking ont the House paragraph, which
fixes the rate on' decorated ware at 60 per
cent and on undecorated at 65 per cent, and
substituting another designation on which
a rate or oq per cent is nxed.
Mr. Plumb moved to make the rate 45 per
cent Bejected. The committee amend
ment was agreed to.
The next question was on paragraph 102J
glass and glassware. The committee
amendment was to strike out the paragraph
in the House bill fixing four rates on bottles,
according to sizes, and to substitute for it a
dinerent ciassincation witu two rates 1
cent per pound on bottles holding not less
than a pint (and on demijohns and carboys)
and 14 cents a pound on bottles holding
less than a pint Agreed to.
MB. PLUMB BOLTED,
The next question was on an amendment
of the Finance Committee to strike out
paragraphs 109, 110, 111, 112, 113 and 114 of
the House bill and to substitute for them
one paragraph (104) taxing glass and glass
ware, cut or ornamented, 45 per cent ad
valorem.
Mr. McPherson moved to reduce the rate
in the Senate amendment to 35 per cent
Bejected yeas, 20; nays, 28.
Mr. Plumb was the only Bepublican
Senator voting with the Democrats in the
affirmative, Messrs. Manderson and Pad
dock voting in the negative and Mr. Ingalls
not voting.
' Mr. Plumb moved to amend the commit
tee amendment by reducing the rate on cut
and decorated glass and glassware from 45
to 40 per cent Bejected yeas, 20; nays,
23. The Bepublicans voting aye were
Messrs. Ingalls, Paddock and Plumb. The
committee amendment was agreed to.
The next question was on paragraph 108,
fixing the duties on unpolished cvlinder,
crown and common window glass the com
mittee amendment being to reduce from 1J
cents per ponnd, 2 cents, 2) cents and 3
cents (according to sizes; to li 1&, 25
and 2,.
"WHAT TABIBT BEVTSIOIT MEANS.
Mr. Vance moved to amend by fixing a
uniform rate of 50 per cent ad valorem.
A long discussion ensued. Mr. Plumb
.said that it was better not to pass a tariff
bill than to pass one that was not right If
it was meant that the Senate should hum n
rule that would cut off debate, he would re
gard that as a perversion of legislative
power and as a blow at free institutions. In
Ms judgment 11 tne republican platform of
1888 had been supposed to meau that it fa
vored tariff revision by an increase of duties
the result of the election would have been
different
Mr. Teller opposed any change of the
rules for the purpose of hastening the pass
age of the tariff bill or any other bill.
Mr. Vance's amendment was defeated.
Various motions to reduce the rates on
unpolished oylinder, erown and window
glass were made by Mr. Plnmb, and were
rejected on yea and nay votes, although
in the last of them fonr Bepublicans In
galls, Manderson, Paddock and Plumb
voted with the Democrats.
Finally, on motion of Mr. Aldrich, the
rates were reduced to i, 1, 2y and 2i
cents per pound (according to sizes), and
the Senate adjourned.

gratulate themselves prematurely on the
fact that a bill has actually been reported
to the House embracing the chief features
pointed out by Judge Tyner the other day,
in his interview with your correspondent,
as necessary to give an anti-lottery law any
praotical effect This is a step in the right
direction, it is true, but a very short one.
The great work comes later and the lot
tery lobby feel as confident of success as
they ever did.
They assert that at any rate there will be
no legislation this session. "Why? Because
the Congressional elections are impending,
and it will be impossible to get enough
votes from members who want to come back
for another time. About two years ago, I
am informed by one of these gentry, a big
dinner was given in this city, at which Mr.
Beed, the present Speaker, and Mr. Bing
ham, the present Chairman oi the House
Postoffice Committee, were present, among
others. Congressmen were at the feast in
full force, and among the orations which
followed the removal of the cloth was one
by a "Washingtonian of some social note,
especially known as a bon vivant, and a
patron of Chamberlain'shostelry. He frankly
addressed the assemblage in behalf of the
Louisiana Lottery, of which he is a secret
agent, and announced that if any Congress
man ventured to cast a vote in favor of a
"spy bill" aimed against tho Lottery Com
pany, that corporation would follow the
offending man into his district at the next
election and beat him. This, as all present
were aware, was no idle boast Congres
sional interference was a matter of life and
death to the lottery company, and with the
millions of money it has ,at its back, few
enemies would be capable of doing more
secret damage to a candidate.
T'm is a somnwhat sipnifi'xnt' 'atrt's.
by tho way, to this latest affair of reporting
a 0111. una report was tne worK ot Repre
sentative Caldwell, of Ohio, and it was put
into the House in his name; but whoever
sought to interview him oh the subject was
informed that he was away on a leave of
absence and no one about the committee
seemed to know how soon be would return.
Chairman Bingham, when your correspond
ent endeavored to draw from him some
opinion as to when the committee expected
to get a day for the consideration of their
bill, declared that he knew nothing about
it; that the whole business was in the hands
of Mr. Caldwell, and that no other member
of the committee had any idea what was
going to be done, or when. This is not the
state of thing that commonly obtains
when a measure is afloat which arouses the
interest and commands the hearty support
of a committee. The lottery company un
doubtedly have a pretty good ground for
their belief that they are too well intrenched
to be disturbed for a while at least..

Cowes, August 4. The landing of the
Emperor of Germany this morning at Cowes
was a splendid spectacle. At half past
eleven his imperial majesty set foot upon
British soil, where here B. "W. Biale, the
German "Vice Consul at Portsmouth await
ed his coming. The imperial guest had
been preceded by a brilliant staff, and in
passing from the rpyal barge over the deck
of the Queen's yacht "Albert" His Majesty
was greeted by the Prinee of "Wales and
suite, amid vociferous cheers from thou
sands of people assembled in all sorts of
craft and on shore. The Emperor in ex
changing greetings with Prince Christian, to
whom he was particularly amiable, ex
claimed: "I am delighted to get to En
gland again."
The Emperor and the royal party then
drove to Osborne House where a guard of
honor from the Eifle Brigade was drawn up.
The Emperor was received by the Queen,
the Princess of "Wales, her daughters and
the Duchess of Edinburgh. Her Majesty's
greeting was most cordial, indeed it was
affectionate, for she took the young Em
peror's head in her hands and kissed him
upon both cheeks. The band during these
roval greetings first played the German and
then the English national anthems. The
Emperor, who looked exceedingly well, was
attired in the full uniform of an admiral in
the British navy. He wore the Orderof the
Garter.
After luncheon the Queen and the Em
peror had a long private interview. In the
afternoon the Emperor and Prince Henry
drove around the grounds of Osborne
House and visited the Marchioness of Lome"
and the Duchess of Edinburgh.
The Queen's dinner party, besides the
German Emperor and members of the royal
family, included only Count von Hatz

SALVAOORANS INVADING
ENEMY'S COUNTRY.

THE
The Situation In the Central American Be
public Anything- but Pacific Mexico
Attitudinizing Defiant, Desperate, Dra
matic. Panama, July 25. It is believed here
that San Salvador is now in a most pre
carious situation. Her whole available
strength of 20,000 troops has been thrown
into Guatemala. Flushed with reported
success this little army growing smaller
with each engagement is pushing forward
into the heart of the enemy's country. Itis
to be feared, however, that when Guatemala
and Honduras have mobilized their forces
they will overwhelm this little army, which
seems already to have wandered beyond the
lines of possible retreat It is feared that
in that event San Salvador will be
able to make a poor show of
defense when the tide of invasion turns.
Then, it is thought, will be the time for
Nicaragua and Costa Blca to take the field.
Even then, however, unless Mexico come3
to the aid of the smaller States, the proba
bilities are that Gnatemala will be enabled
to impose her rule upon the entire country
and substitute a centralized military gov
ernment for the proposed Federal union.
'""Meanwhile Guatemala has settled a seri
ous account with the United States on ac
count of the seizure by Gnatemala at San
Jose de Guatemala, on the 17th inst, of war
supplies on board the Pacific mail steamer
Colinia, legally shipped at San Francisco
for San Salvador. No intimation has been
given of a state of siege having been de
clared before the Colinia sailed. It is un
derstood here that Mr. Blaine has taken
prompt action in the matter. Aside
from this episide strong hopes are
entertained among a large circle
that the United States-will pnt forth its
best endeavors to smooth over the quarrel
and stop the war ere it goes too far. As
long, however, as San Salvador, Nicaragua
and Costa Bica have a soldier left to take
the field they will be satisfied with nothing
less than a positive abandonment on the
part of Gnatemala of her projects for ex
tending her rule throughout Central
America. If Uncle Sam's friendly offices
cannot bring this about, the only
hope will lie in the direction of
Mexico, whose interest wonld always be
threatened by a strong unified republic
in Central America, which, under the rule
of Guatemala, would always be a hostile
neighbor. It is also a question whether
Colombia would relish such a neighbor any
more than Mexico. That she would actively
interfere, however, is not at all likely.
That is about the situation just at present
"What the future developments will be. it is
ictjibJeAo foreset-The possibilities, as inr-1
dies? a, being so "various. The only cerl
tamty is that the hnal denouement is depen
dent on the ultimate successes or reverses of
the San Salvadoran arms.
A DESPERATE LOVE TBAGEDY.
A Free-for-AU Italian Fight "Wherein
Severn! Were Slain.
BOT72TD Bbook, N. J., August 4. A ter
rible fight occurred in the Italian settlement
known as the Gravel Pit, in the outskirts of
Bonnd Brook, yesterday. Two men TVere
killed and several others are expected to
die. The fight was the result of a lova
affair. Several years ago an Italian girl
came to this country and worked in the
Bound Brook mills. She was engaged to a
lover in Italy, bnt in a short time was mar
ried to one of the Bound Brook Italians.
Yesterday a brother of the jilted lover
visited the settlement of Gravel Pit, and
meeting the woman, who carried her child
in her arms, struck her over the head with a
bottle. The husband interfered and in a
moment the two men were engaged in a
mortal combat
A free fight among the occupants of the
dozen or more shanties occurred. All turned
out and fought one another viciously with
all sorts of weapons, including heavy pieces
of split railroad-ties, spades, shovels, pick
axes and knives. In a few minutes the
ground was covered with bleeding and
groaning victims. During the night two
of the wounded men died in great agony.
Others are in a dying condition. Five ar
rests were made and more are to follow.
LAEGE DEMOCRATIC MAJ0EITY.
Socees In tbe Kentucky Contest la on the
Same Side a Usual.
Louisville, August 4. The State elec
tion is proceeding quietly. The only office
to be filled by the choice of the voters of the
entire State is the Clerkship of the
Court of Appeals. The candidates
are "W. "W. Longmoor (Dem.), and Judge
J. H. Tinsley fEep.). A Judge for the
Court of Appeals will be elected from the
Third district and three Judges of the Su
perior Court will be chosen. Delegates to
the first Constitutional Convention since
1849 will be chosen.
Longmoor, for Clerk of the Court of Ap
peals, bids fair to' have a larger majority
than tne democratic ticKet received at tho
last general election. Governor Buckner
came from Clifton Springs, New York, to
his home in Hart county especially to vote.
The distance is about 1,500 miles.
From returns from GO of 119 counties by
a comparison ot gains, itis estimated that
Longmoor, Democrat, for Clerk of the
Court of Appeals, will have about 35,000
majority. This is a large gain over the
majority in the last State election.

The cantonment havo legislative powers
or functions. It is one purely for display,
and to get representatives and members of
the order together that they may for one
thing at least realize how big an organiza
tion they are. Drills, parades and contests
of merit with adjuncts of a similar charac
ter are the principal things on the pro
gramme. Tbe contests in the civil branches
of the order began early to-day, and will
continue throughout the week. Most of
these will be held in Battery D Armory,
and will be open only to the initiated. The
armorv has been fitted up for this purpose
specially. It is decorated lavishly, and is
itself diversion and entertainment for the
members.
The merit contests in the work of the
Bebekah degree, or woman's department,
were gallantly given precedence this morn
ing. The proceedings were opened by

THE COXTESSED TOTSTS.
The points are the unwritten work, the
written work, both text and delivery, the
portrayal of the characters, the marching or
floor movements, appropriateness of cos
tume, general appearance of tbe staff and
the rendition ot tableaux in each kind of
work. The lodges competing from outside
of Chicago are from Viroqna, "Wis., Colum
bus, O., Bichmond, Inu., Minneapolis
Blooniington and Omaha.
Lake Front Park, as well as Battery V,
was a continuous scene of animation. Not
withstanding that the open air contests do
not begin until to-morrow, the magnificent
view of the lake afforded from the grand
stand, as well as a desire to see the drill and
parade grounds of the cantonment, brought
thousands of visiting Odd Fellows and their
friends to the park throughout the day. At
3 p.m. the only public ceremony took place.
This was the hoisting of the American, the
Canadian and the Militant flags. This was
the official signal that tbe cantonment had
begun. Each of the banners was raised on
a separate staff. General A. C. Cable, of
Covington, O., raised the Stars and StriDes.
The Canadian flag was raised by Colonel E.
H. Kavanagh, of Lynn, Mass., and Captain
T. Steers, of Chicago, while the Militant
flag went aloft hoisted by General S. H.
Kelsey, of Atchison, Kan.

It was the intention to raise all three flags
at tbe same instant, and the signal for that
purpose was given by General Underwood.
But General Cable was determined that tha
Stars and Stripes should go up first and as
he had hold of the rope they did. Preceed
ing and following the flag raising a grand
concert was in progress.
To-night a magnificent reception and ball
was given at Battery D Armory nnder tbe
auspices of the Bebekah degree.
The executive officers of the cantonment
were busy all day with the multifarious de
tails connected with the gathering. The
military council of the order was in secret
session in the auditorium considering rec
ommendations to be made to the Sovereign
Lodge, which meets September 1. At Battery
D Armory the Bebekah degree lodges were
contesting for tbe prizes offered for the best
exemplification of the work of the degree,
throughout the day. The contests, which
are conducted with closed doors, will last
several days.
