A frightful story of deception, fall and the most brutal and sav age vengeance comes to-day from Algiers, and embroils in its terrific details the names of two of the most prominent men and one of the most lovely women in that province.

She was admired and respected by the entire city, and her hus band was envied quite as mnch for the possession of such a wife as for his fortune. Among the frequent visitors at the Omessa home was a prominent officer in the French detachment stationed at Algiers. Colonel Sandier was a type of the French gallant. He wore the national pointed beard, soft,sils:y and glossy black, and was a finished musician and a skilled lover. Love at First bight.

It spoke of their meetings, their jaunts, and finally of their crime. Omessa himself was the last man to sus pect this condition of affairs, but when he did learn sufficient to arouse hi senses from their normal condition of confidence and re pose he at once laid plans to secure such evidence as would either condemn or acquit " them of the terrible charge. To this end he maintained an equable and serene demeanor and mad no change in his regular daily comings and goings. A Well-Worn Base Uswd Again. Finally, when his scheme was fully formulated, he announced to his wife that he was suddenly called to Marseilles, on a matter of business and should be absent some weeks. He made all preparations as if for a journey, and left the house, waving adieus to his wife, and bearing in his mind her parting injunction to hasten back. Then he simply did as many husbands have done before returned totals honse under cover of the dusk, concealed himself in a room adjoining that occupied by his wife, between which there was a window, .and patiently awaited events. He had not been long in this position ere his wife entered her apartment accompanied by her trusted maid. Getting; Ready for a Guest. They s firead a little onyx table, a wed ding gift from her husband, laid upon it fruit, sweet wines and liquors and adorned it with delicate flowers set in chaste moorish vases. Presently Colonel Sanglier came and w as greeted at the door bv the wife with a kiss. Then, seating themselves at the table, they partook of the delicacies there displayed, he meanwhile fondling her dainty tresses and murmuring soft expressions that the hus band, glowering through the half open window, had no difficulty in hearing. For some time this continued, the wines rapidly growing less, the liquors,Ieaving no other trace behind them than flushed cheeks, disheveled hair, and a greater fluency of burning words,every one of them wafted with cruel distinctness to the shamed ears of the maddened husband. Frenzied and crazed by the sight the husband yet possessed his senses sufficiently to conceal his presence J by the most quiet action. Preparing for Vengeance. Carefully he left his place of concealment. went to "his library, took from the wall an enormous Turkish scimetar that had served as one of the decorative features of tbe apart- finentasd had a history connected with it, Muociaicd with the violent death of a harem fall of women under the reign of ancient despot.

The colonel spring tohis feet, and, grasp ing his own sword from a chair, assailed Omessa. A fearful contest ensued.

Then Omessa tnrned upon his wife, and despite her cries for mercy and "her awfnl shrieks, be plunged the scimetar into her body aeain and again. Her cries became weaker and weaker, ana so she died. v Not satisfied with this Tevehee, and Ap parently brutalized by tbe sight of blood, in which the apartment was literally float ing, Omessa lilted the body of the Colonel and laid it across the body of his wife, and- by an effort 'drove the scimetar through both, pinning them to the floor.

It is really a serions matter for a great many who have calculated their expenses closely, and now find that tbe only possible method of getting back to America within a month is to pay a large advance forj officers' rooms on the steamers, while even this resource is inade quate. The Hamburg-American line, whose steamers sail lrom Southampton is full, officers' quarters an 1 all, up to OjtQbeij 3., The North German L'oyd, from the same' port, has everything booked, with tbe ex ception of one two.omcers' rooms and a few ordinary rooms, until September 27.

The Cnnard line has a few berths onsteam ers for Boston toward the end of September and none at all on vessels for New York, and tbe Guion and Anchor lines have only a few berths left from the middle of Septem ber onward. There has always hereto. ore been opportunity to take berths that have been given up at the last moment on vessels at the moment of sailing, but even this re course is overcrowded at present, since some hundreds of Americans are at present wait ing in Liverpool to seize this chance, and but few can be accommodated, and the same state of affairs exists at Olasgow, where all tbe berths on the transatlantic steamers are taken.

It is impossible to exaggerate the excitement in the ..Irish rants caused by the fierce fight between Mr. John Dillon, Member of. Parliament for County Mayo, and tbe most reverend, Edward T. Dwyer, Bishop of Limerick. Tbe issue between the Parnellites and the Vatican in refusing to recog nize tbe Pope's right to interfere in Irish politics has now received a startling illus tration, and Mr. Dillon's challenge, which is almost brutally thrown down, cannot be ignored. Tbns the great and growing trouble of the Parnellites who have openly and publicly announced their contempt for the papal decrees, has been brought to a crisis. , The feeling is exceedingly bitter on both sides. The Parnelites, on their part, are resolute in their determination that the priests shall keep out of political affairs, and declare that if it comes to an alternative they will sacrifice their churcn rather than country. Mr. Parnell, himself, naturally Keeps out o( tbe rows, since it is ms policy not to be identified with any cliques. There is no doubt but that the "uncrowned king" is in anything but robust health, and has been ailing for some time, so that his at tendance in Parliament during the past ses sion has not been as regular as usual. His physicians have been urging him to take a complete rest and a long sea voyage, and now they are anxious that he should go to Australia. He has re fused up to now, but as soon as the O'Shea divorce case is over, in which he has been made a co-respondent, it is very possible that he will reconsider his determination. There is another fierce controversy agitat ing the Irish ranks with regard to Mr. Timothy Harrington, who has been attacked by John Dorsey and others, who do not want him to go to America with Mr. Dillon and Mr. O'Brien next month.

High, it will be remembered, was the Berks dele eate to tbe Chicago Convention which nam Inated President Harrison. When he came back he announced himself a candi date for the postoffice in .Beading. His candidacy has provoked such a storm of indignation in the party, that last fall there were two Bepublican county conven tions, known as High and anti-High, and two county committees were appointed to do this year's campaign work. Mr. High is supposed to have the support of Senator Quay for postmaster, bnt the appointment hangs fire, and the Democratic postmaster has been in office lour months over his 1 term. IT WILX. nUET DELAMATEB. Both wings of the party claim that they will support the Slate ticket, but the proba bilities are that Delamater will lose 1,500 Republican votes in Berks county. The High County Committee this afternoon de cided to hold the primaries on September 6 and the County Convention on September 13. Delamater and. the whole State ticket were indorsed. Mr. High then'came in. He had long been smarting unde.r the criticisms which bis leadersnip ot the party provoked to settle the postoffice fight. He said that he was willing to sign an agreement with all the other applicants to ask President Harri son and Senators Quay and Cameron to have the postmaster appointed at once, or he was willing to have the choice for, postmaster decided at tbe primaries. Mr. High said that he had been maligned and denied that he was a boss. Then he stepped lorward and read a letter signed by Dr. P. F. Markley, one of the other candidates for Postmaster, in which he offers High $1,000 a year for the four years' term if he will bave him appointed Postmaster. CHEATED A SENSATION, J ' This created a big sensation, as Dr. Markley is considered a pillar of the church here.

HINEBS FOB FATTIS0K. President Rne Boldly Asserts That the Ex Governor Will Get Their Totes. Philadelphia, August 30. President Eae, of the Mine Workers' Association of the United States, talked freely upon the Gubernatorial campaign while in this city. To the Record he said: Governor Pattlson will receive, practically, the unanimous support bf tbe miners in tbe bituminous coal region of Pennsylvania, and he will likewise be enthusiastically supported in tbe anthracite section as well. During the last two months X have traveled all through tbe mining districts of Allegheny, Westmore land. Clearfield, Fayette, Cambria, Centre, Blair, Bedford and Huntington, and I can positively affirm that all tbe minersin the bitu minous regions will vote for Governor Pattlson. and a large majority of tbe miners in tbe anthracite regions will do tbe same. Karly in tbe year, before the State Conventions, the men were divided; but the nomination of Sena tor Delamater settled the question. Hastings would bare been a popular candidate among tbe miners, but now at least four or five of tbe counties 1 bave named will go ior Pattlson. This feeling can be relied upon, as it bad been well considered. As far as I am personally concerned I lean toward tbe Bepublican parry. I hire mixed a good deal among tbe farmers, and find tbe feeling among them just as strong as among tbe miners in favor of the Demo cratic candidate lor Governor. The only time I voted tbe Democratic ticket was in lS&t, when I voted for Pattlson. and I shall rote for bim again. I can tell you that tbe feeling through tbe atate is much stronger with him now tban it was then. Tbe minors generally consider that there are measures tbai must be passed to improve their condition and to insure a greater safety for life. Tnese measures would cost tbe corpora tions some money, and make them more re sponsible for any fatality. Tbe feeling is gen eral that Mr. Delamater would never sign any such bills, and they know tbat ex-Gorornor Pattlson is their friend.

Addystone, a suburban town IS miles west of the city, on the Big Four road was the scene of a very sensational affair this morning. Located at tbe place is the big plant of tbe Addystone Pipe Works, employing several hundred men. About 9 o'clock. a stranger rode up to the entrance of the ground and dismounted from his horse, which be tied to the fence near the depot. He was fully six feet tall, and wore a long linen duster and light slouch hat. After tying his horse he climbed over tbe fence into the grounds and concealed himself in the weeds near the gatekeeper's lodge, which is about 400 feet from the depot. On the train arriving at 10 o'clock were H. J. Kocb, cashier, and William Byrnes, paymaster of the Pipe Company. They bronght with them $10,300 to pay off the hands. They were met at the depot by Joseph Laycock, one of tbe guards. The three started for the company's office with in tbe grounds, a short distance from the depot. Several passengers had gotten off and were standing on the platform. Ban ning by, the fence was a side-track on which stood a locomotive, with steam up and the engineer at the lever. BTETJCK THE -WBONG MAN. Koch, Byrnes and Laycock started lor the gate, Laycock carrying the bag Which con tained the money. Suddenly, as they reached the timekeeper's shed just within the grodnds, the tall stranger jumped from the weeds. He wore a black mask. Level ing a revolver in each band at Laycock he shouted "drop that bag," at tbe same time beginning to fire with both revolvers. "Sou getout of here," replied Laycock, as he shifted tbe bag to bis left hand and drew his revolver with his right. Koch and Byrnes, who were both armed, also drew and opened fire. The robber had continued to advance on Laycock as if to seize tbe bag. when the other began to fire he slowly backed in the direction of where his horse was tied. He reached the horse and tried to mount, but the girth broke. Beaching down in the weeds he picked up a rifle he had concealed. He then turned, threw off his duster and filed up hill toward the city, every now and then turning and firing with bis repeating rifle. He was followed a quarter of a mile at a distance, but disap peared. y PDESOINO THE.oxrTLA-or. Tbe -shooting attracted a lurge crowd, and COO men were soon in pursuit. The fobber abandoned his horse, a beautiful thorough bred bay, fitted with a new bridle and saddle. He also dropped one of his re volvers. The pockets of the duster were filled with 44-caliber cartridges. Some of the foundry men followed tbe robber to Pernbank, where they were told be bad taken refuee in a shanty boat. They went after him, bat the fellow jumped into a skiff and rowed out into the river, where he flourished his rifle and revolvers. A canvas bag was attached to the pommel of his saddle, presumably to receive the money. "When last seen he was making for tbe Kentucky shore. Joseph Laycock, the police was 'shot twice, both times iu the neighborhood of the groin. j A EUNAWAX ENGINE. One of the company's engines was passing just as the firing commenced, and the en gineer thinking he was being fired at aban doned bis engioe and ran. Tne engine left without a guide, ran through the loundry yard into a lot of dumps and made a total wreck: of itself and tbe cars, The robber was about 6 feet high, weighed about 160 or 170 pounds, and wore a black mustache. Laycock's injuries are very serions, and it is thought the robber was also wounded. The mouey bag was literally shot to pieces with bullets. The police -authorities of Cincinnati were notified, and a large party of officers bave gone ont in pur suit. The loundrymen are greatly excited, and thieaten to lynoh the robber if they can catch him. Nobody seems to have ever seen tbe thief before. AN AEBONADTS ESCAPE. ' The Thrilling- Scene Witnessed From tbo Fair Grounds at Detroit. IEFZCIAT. TBLEOBAM TO THE DISPATCS. J Deteoit, August 30. The visitors to the Exposition grounds to-day were treated to a thrilling sight tbat caused the women to shriek and the strongest men to shudder, while the skillful aeronaut, Professor Bar tholomew, shut his eyes to keep out tbe sight he feared. Tbe day was uu propitious for balloon ascensions, as the wind was high and tbe clouds looked angrv. Jerry Waite, who was to make the ascent, decided to go up, and as soon as tbe balloon was filled he ordered the ropes cut. The air machine shot upward to the height ot 2,000 reetiiee an arrow, and then, of a sudden, stopped and slowly turned bottom up, and the crowa saw that Waite could not release bis parachute. Like a stone dropped the balloon, with the women shrieking and the strong men turn' ins away from tbe horrible spectacle, while Prof. Bartholomew cried that the man was killed, and shut his eyes. Those who looked, however, saw thati Waite had not lost his nerve and tbat he was still struggling to free the parachute. Suddenly he accomplished the task and be gan to float downward after the balloon bad carried him 1,000 feet. Twice the parachute collapsed and twice Waite righted it before the ground was reached, and Waite dashed into the trees on the Canadian shore of the river. He was badly bruised by the fall, and nothing but bis presence of mind in handling the parachute saved him from an instant and horrible death. HIS FIEST MESSAGE.

From THE EECESS EES0LTJT10B SOT POPULAR-: Secretary Wisdom is Beady t Bedeem Another Big ' - Bates ot Bonds. First Assistant Postmaster General Clark son severed his connection with the depart ment yesterday. During bis brief incumbency he has appointed 32,333 postmasters, far eclipsing all previous records. There are a number of candidates for the position. Washington, Angust 30. Mr. Clark son, First Assistant Postmaster General, practically conclnded bis service in "the Postoffice Department to-day. The Presi dent much desired bis farther continuance he place, but Mr. Clarkson was unabla It is stated tbat Mr. assumed tbe office March, 1889, onTyv.he strong persuasion of the Presi dent, the Bepublican National Committee and the leading men of tbe party, and that he has remained in it since against his own wishes. He said to a reporter to-night: "I ac cepted this office unwillingly, and for a term of months, not years, and I lay it down gladly. My relations with the President and tbe Postmaster General have never been else than cordial and pleasant. But I have NO LIKING FOE OFFICE HOLDINO, and while tbe postal tervice is one that wiU absorb tbe interest and command the pride of any one connected with it, I very much prefer private life and its independence. The reports that I have given up Iowa as my home are incorrect, t is the best State in the Union, and my lot is cast with it." Mr. Clarkson will very soon assume the Presidency ot the Jndson Pneumatic Bail way Company, which a'pplies new princi ples to locomotion and to motive power iu eifies, and which is now building a railway in Washington City. . In his nearly 18 months in office Mr. Clarkson has appointed 26,675 fourth class postmasters and established 6,660 new post- ' offices, making his record 32,333 in all. All the appointments in the postoffice depart ment are made up in the First Assistant's office, and in Presidental offices 2,217 ap pointments have been made during Mr. Clarkson's official time, leaving only 400 of this class of offices unchanged. AXZi EECOBDS BROKEN. This is the largest record in changes and in tbe establishment of postoffices ever made in the same length of time. A striking; feature is the number of new offices estab lished. A department official speaking of 'this said: "In these offices hasbe-n illustra ted Mr. Clarkson's broad policy as anofficial. Of tbe new offices created, 157 are in the New England States, 571 in the Middle States, 1,438 in what is called the North west, extending from Ohio to the Dakota, 487 in the mountain and Pacific coast States and 3,009, or oyer bait of all, in the Southern-States." ' - , The men most prominently named as Mr. Clarkson's successor are L. T. Michener, of Indiana; H. C. Payne, of Wisconsin; Chauncey L Filley, of Missouri; Johu N. Irwin, of Iowa; Samuel Fesrenden. ot Connecticut; W. W. Morrow, of California, and F. C. Fowler, now chief clerk ot the office. As Mr. Clarkson was the only repre sentative" of the Mississippi Valley and the West in tbe department, it is thought that his successor is most likely to come from the West also. SEKATOB EDMUNDS 1XL-KATUEED. Tbe Prospect for Bis Recess Resolution U " Not Try Bright. rrSOM A STAFT COERESPODBXT.I Washington, August 30. Tbe tariff proceedings in the Senate, of which a refusal to accept any modification of the tariff on wool was the only interesting feature and a debate in the House of the bill providing for the adjustment of the wages of Government employes under the eight hour law, made up the tame work of the statesmen on "the hill" to-day, and the only really newsy discussion was in regard to the Edmunds resolution providing for a recess from September 19 to November 10. The resolution gained nothing in support from an exchange of opinion amonir Con gressmen. It was not even as popular to day as it was at first jnmp, and the majority of opinions seemed to be in favor of the theory that it will not be called up and pushed to tbe point of a formal discussion. Senator Edmunds was very ill-natured to day, and showed his feeling especially ia objecting to consideration of the bill giving; 15 days' leave ot absence per annum to cer tain employes in the postal service. It was) interred from his lack of good bumor tbat be was not pleased with the outlook for hi resolution. DAIZELL'S MJK0RITY BEP0ET Object lo Bill Refunding the Debt of the Pac fie Railroads. Washington, Angust 30. representa tive Dalzell, as Chairman ot the House Committee on Pacific Railroads, to-day sub mitted to the House, on behalf of a minor ity of thecommitte, a report in opposition to the bill for the refunding of tbe debt of the Central and the Union Pacific Bail roads. The report is signed by Representa tives Dalzell, Flick. Cooper (Ida".), O'NevU, (Mass.) and Beilly. While the, minsrity agree in tbeir opposition to the proposed measure, their agreement, the report says. Is based upon different reasons, and it has been deemed advisable therefore, upon de liberation, to refrain for the present from setting out at length their individual views and the arguments to sustain them, and to join in with a report which shall simply ex press the common dissent of all to tbe ma jority bill. All agree, tbe minority say. that as a plain business-proposition the bill reported gives an unjust advantage to the debtors ana inns to uo justice to tue government., u. compelled to oppose its passage.
