Tbey were made acquainted at once with the strength and with the intensity of our natural fuel, and marveled very much thereat They saw the big plant of Carnegie Brothers & Co., at Braddock, turning out rails at the rate of 30 feet of tract a min ute, and viewed with" equal admiration the Homestead works producing huge plates of armor for Uncle Sam':, ships, and beams and structural iron ior everyday use. On the return trip, and when the shades of night had closed in, a remarkable display of natural gas was witnessed. Gas bubbled up from beneath the river, surged forth from the standpipes, creating a mighty glare in the sky, and spent itself in the night air in parti-colored flames for the edification of the trans-oceanic visitors, E cry body as Pleased as Surprised. . Very nearly a thousand people took ad vantage of the opportunity, and residents expressed themselves as much pleased with the trip as did the foreign folk. And to say that all the participant enjoyed themselves is to make a very mild statement of what was a very self-evident fact. The trip made on the Mayflower occupied just seven hours, and as a matter of history, as many people returned to the llononga hela wharf at 930 o'clock as left it at 2:30 o'clock. The old Monongahela wharf that portion of it at the foot of Wood street never be. fore bore such a cosmopolitan gathering upon its rough, very rough, cobblestones, as it did yesterday. Travelers from the Continent, as Americans designate that portion of Europe remote from the home of their ancestors; visitors from Great Britain; from Australia; from India, and other foreign climes, crowded along the sloping wharf that confines the stream, and picked their way on hoard the Mayflower, the boat selected to carry them to the big mills and displays of nature's wonders of which they have heard so much. AScene Well "Worth Studjlng. It was a scene worth studying, that on the landing shortly before 2 o'clocK yesterday afternoon. Dainty dames and merry maid ens tripped their way over the wharf stones, and equally gay bachelors, and benedicts, too, with their wives, and with their over coats, crowded along the gangway as the hour for departure drew near. At 2 o'clock the stream of excursionists along the wharf became continuous. The Great Western Band, under Conductor "Weiss, struck up the "Bed. White and Blue;" took a breathing spell, and then played a selection, in which "My Country, Tis of Thee," was included. This tune, as everybody knows, is identical with that of "God Save the Queen," the British national refrain, and when its familiar notes rung out on the air, recalling to the En glishmen present their own national anthem, or mistaking it ior such as a com pliment to themselves, they raised thir hats, nb is customarv with them in their own land when the air is played. A sharp blast from the whistle, prolonged and interfeiing somewhat with the rendition by the band of the "Bed, AVhite and Blue," was a suggestive hint to the laggards to "get a move on." But being foreign and unacquainted with the method of getting a move on. they didn't do it, and when the last file, presumably, had arrived and un dergone the inspection of Detective Will iam Shore, it was past the hour set for starting. Delaj cd by Late Arrival. A line of "maidens fair," with their es corts, now appeared 'way up on Water street, and Captain A. E. Hunt, espying them, gave orders to await them. The gal lant Captain was silently voted the thanks of the "voyageurs," for included in the late arrivals were some or the daintiest damsels that ever trod on the oft-used decks of the Mayflower. Then a buggy, drawn by a pair of fast trotting horses, was seen to approach, and in another minute Andrew Carnegie and Sir James Kitson had alighted and made their way aboard. Then the gang plank was partly hauled on board, and another pull would have placed it there, when George Dilworth was observed hurrying down the levee. He ran up the steep plank and was safe. Johnny McTighe was nearly left, but as usual he got there. The boatswung up into midstream, and the excursion had commenced. It was not forgotten that distinguished gentlemen from "t'other side" were on board. The Union Jack and the German j;.isien were run up at the bow, and Prof. BUSINESS Men will find THE DISPATCH the best advertising medium. All classes can be reached through its Classified Ad vertisement Columns. If.you ti ant anything j ou can set it by this method. Weiss gave the cue to his band, and "God Save the Queen" floated 'cross the waters and to the ears ot the onlookers on shore, who responded with cheers. A glance around sufficed to show that there were very nearly 1,000 people on board. The skipper admitted to 980 and a small boy, but where he got the small boy no one could determine. Anyway, the Mayflower was crowded, and that, too, by as distinguished an assemblage as ever gath ered within old Pittsburg's precincts for any similar affair. Everybody Aboard the Boat. Everybody was there. The city's promi nent residents were on board, with their wives and danghters; Pittsburg's guests took advantaga ot the oppertunity to further increase their stock of experiences of ".New Britain" and its people, as they sometimes call these United States; and the man or woman who could have been there and wasn't, missed an excursion that was one among many as a successful and pleasurable one. As the Mayflower made her way up stream the mills on either bank tooted their welcome to the visitors in shrill blasts. Passing the Linden Steel Worfcs William J. Lewis waved a salute to the "voyagers," while the mill whistle sent a blast Into the air that reverberated again and again along the valley and through the hills. Passing under the American Iron Works bridge, Frederick Siemons and Windsor Richards, with a party of the gentlemen, were espied high above, and received as hearty a sa lute as they waved to their friends. Then the steam launch Gwendoline with George Westinghouse and a party of some half a dozen hove in sight and ran alongside the Mayflower for some time. During all this time the party on board bestowed themselves to the best advantage for seeing what was to be seen on the trip. Great interest was evinced in the plants and mines as tbey were passed, and at 4:15 o'clock Braddock was reached, and the first stop made. SHOWED THEM SOMETHING THE LIKE OF WHICH THEY HAD NE'ER SEEN BEFORE. Details of the Visit to the Edgar Thomson Steel Works Many Appliances That Caused Much Admiration The Work and Extent of the Mills. At Braddock it was at once seen that the approach of the visitors had been heralded. The Edgar Thomson Steel Works Band, stationed on a platform abutting on the river bank, played a welcoming air. Many of the workmen, with their womenfolk and very good-looking womenfolk they were lined the bank, and bestowed a welcome, though an undemonstrative one upon the guests. The firm had prepared for the dis embarkation of the visitors, and an easy mode of ascent from the water's edge was afforded. Inspection of the works commenced at Furnace I, the latest erected of the Brad dock furnaces. Many peeps were obtained through the spyholes, especially by the ladies, who all expressed similar views of their appreciation of what they didn't see by ejaculating, "Oh, myl ' " at the bosh insiae. Then the party filed through the immense plant, taking' cognizance of the order and grandeur of scale that became evident at every stey. Many of the Visitor Nonplussed. "The.conveftlng miUf wiCfits bowls of boiling steel, its ladles and molds, was next visited. The terrific and resonant blast of air from the converters seemed to uonplns some of the visitors especially the ladies but the pouring of the molten steel from the ladle into the molds was watched with in terest. Superintendent Schwab took cfaargo of Sir James Hitson; A. xnielen was the par ticular care of John G,A. Leishman, Vice Chairman of Carnegie Brothers & Co., and Sir Lowtbian Bell was shown the rounds by H. C. Prick. From the annealing mill a visit was made to the blooming mill, and thence to the rail mill. Here surprise centered. The visi tors, as they afterward admitted, were un prepared to tee such perfection of appliances as existed here. Tbey gazed at the steam charger and drawer witn wonder as it drew an ingot from the heating furnace in a second or two and dropped it on to a small car, which was at once hauled away by the small locomotive which had backed down to it. Many Objects of Admiration. They regarded the newly-devised tripping table invented by Mr. Schwab 'or receiv ing the ingots, while their predecessors were going through the mill, where 60-tcet of rail was made in less than one minute, with much interest. Next a visit was made to the straightening department, where a device, also invented by Mr. Schwab, for moving the rails very rapidly into the posi tion desired by the straightener, was also examined. The weather, which up to this time had been a reflex of the summer variety, now changed 'round to the Pittsburg unaccount ableness, and rained water in thin showers. But by this time everything had been seen; a retreat was made to the boat: the Edgar Thomson Band played a lively tune, and at 5:30 o'clock the return down stream was begun. GREAT ISTHE GAS. UNANIMOUS VERDICT OF THOSE WHO CAME TO SEE IT WORK. A Hurried Visit to the Homestead Mills The Inner Man Not Neglected Grand Exhibition of the Natural Fuel That Adds to Pittsburg's Greatness. While on the way to Homestead, the next point to be visited. Mine Host John B. Schlosser and his myrmidons gave thought to the inward condition of the sightseers,and prepared a substantial supper. By way of telling what the menu consisted, it will be sufficient to say that John Schlosser had charge of affairs, and that, in consequence, had for discussion appetizing delicacies of every variety. During the day he had provided a capital claret cup, which was dispensed ad libitum to everyone who called for it; which all did. and often. The old rule or "place aux dames" prevailed, and the ladies were afforded an opportunity of "picking something." Homestead was reached at 6 o'clock. With creditable forethought the manage ment had provided excellent landing ac commodations. The banks had been trimmed and a flight of wooden steps gave the visitors easy ascent from the timbered platform ou which they landed to the level ground above. To indicate at a glance the nature of the output of the w6rks, a trophy composed of sections of beams and strnctural iron, sur mounted by a Federal flag, had been raised. Darkness Cuts Short a Visit Owing to the increasing gloom, but a hurried visit was paid to the mills. The plate mill and the armor mill, with their Titanic trains of machinery, were duly in spected, and the open-hearth plant came in for its share of attention. Chairman W. L. Abbott, of Carnegie, Phipps & Co., showed Sir James Kitson through the works, and Superintendent John Potter also paid his devoirs to the visitors. In, the plate mill a trophy show ing the entire product of the plant had been mm erected. Every variety of form and shape turned out in the Bessemer department was shown. Surmounting it was an inscription as followss: 119 Inch piate: "We Are the People." October. '89, 4.029 tons. January, '90. 4,140 tons. September, '90. 4,259 tons. Showing the increasing capacity of the works-Three-quarters round steel was twistedlnto a "lover's knot," and the per foration of some plates was also perfectly accomplished without sign of strain. The majority of the ladies had decided to remain on board during their visit, and they had chosen wisely, in view of the rain that still fell at intervals. Immediately on re-, tnrn on board . a rush was made for supper. The accommodations were rather limited, but eventually every one was satisfied, as much by the quantity and quality of the food as by the now of the liquid requirements. When about the last man had come aboard, Andrew Carnegie, with sev eral friend', advanced into the saloon, and was greeted by an outburst of of applause. Dinner In Democratic Fashion. Mr. Schlosser Boon found room for them at a table, and he, James Burden, of Troy; Superintendent John Porter and two others sat down in an essentially democratic fashion to what was set "before them. Shortly after Mr. W. L. Ab bott and Sir James Kitson came on deck. The learned baronet was obliged to take things as he found them, and content himself with a plate and class of wine on the taffrail, which, being an old traveler and a gentleman, he did very cheer fully. In this he was assisted by John H. Iticketson. At Hays station a capital illustration of the value, power and effectiveness of nat ural gas was given by the Philadelphia Gas Company. Four standpipes had been erected, and in addition a single pipe for display purposes. The pipe leading across the river, and under it, at this point had also been ai ranged for a display. The exhibition, which lasted half an hour, consisted of displav from the single pipe, the gas from it being colored by Messrs. James O. Handy and George N. Kirby, chemists connected with Captain A. E. Hunt's laboratory; a display from the pipe under the river, which sent the gas bubbling up in waves with a most weird effect, and displays from the four stand pipes. Something That Couldn't be Equaled. "This is what we came to see," said one old gentleman. "Isn't it superb?" exclaimed a lady. "I wouldn't have missed it for worlds," exclaimed another. The visitors expressed the greatest admira tion for the wonderful fluid, and the display was the theme ot conversation from there into the harbor. On arrival at the wharf the Great West ern Band played the "Wacht am Rbein," the German contingent singing the well known battle song of the Vaterland. Fol lowing it came "God Save the Queen" in honor of the Englishmen and "Hail Co lumbia" and "Yankee Doodle" brought a pleasant, profitable and entertaining ex cursion to a close.

Ex-Governor Pattison and party left Tyrone, where the night was spent in a Pullman sleeper, early this morning, and by way of Belle? fonte, reached the Democratic stronghold of Center' county, Center Hall, where the'Srst meeting of the day was held. Center-Hall is the home of Leonard Rhone, the M$tcr of the Pennsylvania State Grange, and is situated in one of the seven townships which always give a Democratic majority of j,200. Candidates Pattison and Black gave the grangers a wholesome talk, and they evinced great interest, particularly in the discussion of the tax question. The speakers were in troducedby Mr. Rhone. RHONE CONFIDENT OF VICTORY. , At the conclusion of the meeting Mr. Rhone said that the outlook forjhe election of Pattison Is of the most encouraging kind, and that the great mass of the grangers will give him their heartiest support. Pattison, he says, will get the vote of 30,000 Repub licans outside the counties of Philadelphia and Allegheny. "He will receive 300 majority in Hunt ingdon," said Mr, Rhone, "ISO in Blair, 300 in Bedford, 500 iu Mifflin, 300 in Union and 200 in Snyder, and the other interior counties will contribute their share." At the towns of Risfng Springs, Cobnrn and Miffllnsburg crowds of people welcomed the tourists and at Lewisburg, where Union county's annnal fair is being held the crowd was as large as that which attends the Grangers' picnics at Williams' Grove. The visitors were escorted to the fair grounds where a scene not down on the programme was enacted to the apparent delight of the immense throng. WOLFE HELPING PATTISON. A wiry built man of ordinary stature, wearing gold rimmed glasses and a black mustache, took particular pains to make the ex-Governor acquainted with the prominent people on the grand stand. Everybody recognized him as Charles S. Wolfe, the In dependent Republican of eight years ago. Mr. Wolfe took a seat near ex-Governor Pattison, and when the latter had made a calm, impassioned and logical address for the purification of our political system, and Cbauncey F. Black had spoken, cries of "Wolie, Wolfe, Wolfe," came from all sides. Mr. Wolfe responded to the call and as he began to speak a big cheer went up. He struck out from the start, expressing his mind in the freest sort of manner. He con gratulated the Democratic party on having secured as its candidate for Governor, one who was made such in response to the popu lar demand. "I congratulate the Republican parfy," said be. "to the extent that there are $OBe within it, who appreciate the value.onit nlar governmentjjwljO' if thyy caundirsve. a candidate of their own, can have one offered them by the opposite party who is well worthy of their suffrage. The man who spoke to you this afternoon so entertainingly on agricultural matters, and who modestly ab stained from any reference to politics has been JFAITHFUIi TO EVEBY TBU3T that has been placed in his bands. As Controller or the city of Philadelphia he cleared out the nest-of scoundrels who had been fattening upon the substance of the taxpayers of that city. The people of Phil adelphia and Pennsylvania then said, 'Well done, thou good and faithful servant, come up higher.' Because of his fidelity and re spect for the popular will and moral courage mat oenea tne army or cor ruptionists he has again been honored by being made the standard-bearer of bis party. Eight years ago some of you enter tained hard feelings against me for the part you conceived I had in bringing about the election of Mr. Pattison at that time. Much as I regretted not having your approval I have not the slightest regret now as to my course at that time. It has been clear v jus tified by the result." Raising his voice to its highest pitch and giving emphasis to his remarks by striking gesticulations, the speaker went on": "Would to God, and I say it reverently, I had it in my sole power to say whether Mr. Pattison or" Mr. Delamater should be Governor of this State. My choice would be emphat ically and unequivocally, Robert E, Patti son, the honest, faithlul "official and cour ageous champion of the people." EECEIVED WITH ENTHUSIASM. Mr. Wolie was loudly cheered at the con clusion of bis speech, and encouraged per haps by the expression of sentiment in favor of honest men and measures, he ac companied the Pattison party to Milton, where he again spoke. From Milton the Democratic candidates and their compan ions came to Williamsport, and were driven to the Hotel Crawford. After supper they were escorted to the Court House amid scenes of the most enthusiastic kind. The big court room where the meeting was held could not accommodate tho crowd that sought admittance. Clarence Sprout was President of the meeting. To-morrow meetings will be held at-Sunbury and Selins Grove, and the present trip will wind up at Philadelphia to-morrow night. Al most 2,000 miles have been traversed thus far. RECRUITS TO TEE RAKES. More Coke Region Republicans Who Have Declared for Pattison. fBPECIAL TELEQBAH TO THHJ DISPATCH.! Scottdale, Pa., October 10. The dis affection in the Republican ranks in the coke regions is steadily increasing. Of all previous names mentioned of Republicans who would support Pattison, that givenout to-day has created the greatest surprise. George Richards, boss carpenter in the rolling mills here, has come out boldly for Pattison. He wields great influence in this place, which will be made fully manifest at the November polls. He has been a lifelong Republican, and will continue in that line, but he says he cannot digost Delamater. Jack Pilcairn, of Pittsburg, dropped off the Sough express this morning long enough to tell the boys that he was for Pat tison in preference to Delamater. Dan Sailor, a workman in the rolling mill here, and a Republican, is also for Pattison. There are 30 Republicans other than these, who will cut Delamater in this district alone, but, on account of business, desire their names withheld. Grant Again In the Field. Nf.w Yobk, October 10.

Unfortunately for Dr. Mary and her ad herents, this certificate of nomination was deemed irregular if not irrelevant by th Secretary of State, insomuch as it failed to specify whether Dr. Walker's party was a regular organization which at some previous election cast a 1 per cent vote of its district or a new aspirant for political recognition consisting of 220 electors. And, moreover, it was irregular because neither president nor secretary sent their postoffice address. No tickets will be printed by the State this year for Dr. Mary Walker.

HIGHWAYMEN ATTACK A WASHINGTON COUNTY TOLLKEEPER. s. Tho Plucky Woman, Who is the Widow of a Veteran, Fights for Her Life Many. Shots Fired A Posso Now Scouring the Country. IKFXCIAX. TXLXOBAM TO TUB DISPATCH. I Washington, Pa., October 10. Mrs. Saunders, awidow of a veteran of the late war, keeps the second toll gate on the plank road, five miles from town. She lives alone with one young son in a little frame cottage by the roadside. In the evening at 7:30 o'clock it was dark, and the heavy rain oi an hour before had made travelers scarce at that hour. Mrs. Saunders heard a knock at the door and when she opened it she saw the figures of two men, one tall, with a black beard, and the other short and stout and with a smooth, round face. They wore masks. The tall man flashed the muzzle of a revolver into the woman's face and demanded her money. She de clared that she had no money and offered to show the men through the house. They accepted her invitation and entered the house. Calmly walking to the bureau she threw open the drawer and quietly tossed up the contents with her fingers in an apparently careless manner. The men looked on fiercely and cursed her. Suddenly she turned toward the big man, and before he could recover from his astonishment, fired a shot at him. She had gotten her hand on a revolver in the drawer and knew how to use it. With an oath the big man struck with his fist at the delicate woman and his companion drew a revolver and opened fire. After a dozen shots were exchanged, of which the plncky woman fired three, the men retreated through the door and lett their victim prostrated in her own blood. The shots attracted the attention of her son who was in an adjoining field. He found his mother bruised about the face and unconssious. He summoned the neighbors .and tbey procured physicians. It was then ascertained that Mrs. Saun ders had been shot through the abdomen an'd that the wound was probably fatal. She rallied, however, and was able to give in a whisper a description ot the highwaymen and story of her en counter. It was several honrs later when the news of the probable murder was brought to town. Judge Stowe was just giving a charge to the jury in the case" of the negro "West, on charge for the brutal slaughter ol the Crouch family of three helpless inval ids, when Sheriff Lockhout was informed of the deed. A posse was hastily summoned and the country ia being scoured by horse men. Negro Desperado Executed.

At the noon adjournment the spectators trooped forth from the courtroom laughing and joking. The proceedings during the morning ses sion were verv exciting and interesting. When the court assembled all the defend ants were found to be present excepting Dillon and O'Brien. When their names were called there was no response. The Bench asked whether any one appeared for them, and Mr. Ronan asked if the Court intended to wait for the gentlemen to put in their appearance, or if there was any appli cation in reference to them. The magis trates replied that they had received none. JOHN EEDMOND'S PLACID SMILE. A solemn silence reigned in the room for some minutes. The defendants who were present, and Mr. Healy, their counsel, looked straight before them without a change of countenance, when all others were in a feverish excitement. John Red mond sat with folded arms and smiled placidly as he looked around. .In a few words Mr. Ronan asked that the sureties be called upon to make good the bond, and Mr. Healy, after asking to exam ine the warrant whereon the arrests were originally made, entered an objection. This cursory examination and the excitement of the spectators served to consume the morn ing hours rapidly and the noon recess was greeted in the hilarious manner already re ferred to. When court reassembled the clerk called on the sureties, Cahill and R. Burke, to pro duce the bodies of Dillon and O'Brien, or forfeit their recognizances. Upon this Mr. Healy argned that the sureties had already fulfilled the obligations of their bond, which' was simply to see that the two defendants were present to answer certain charges. A FINE TECHNICAL POINT. They had been present at the examination when these charges were made they were duly preferred and new charges were made by thn Jwvrnmeni, upon which, no bail had been demanded, a'nd the de'fend'a.ntshad been allowed to go upon their own recog nizances. In view of this and the circum stances connected with it he asked that the sureties be released. Mr. Ronan, replying to this, said that he admired the ingenuity of Mr. Healy, but he brought up an argument that would of necessity have to be referred to the Superior Court. Afteran extended legal argument the magistrates held that the charge upon which the sureties were now responsible was the same charge as that upon which the arrests were made and therefore the Bench felt bound to comply with the application of the Crown. Mr. Ronan then asked the Court to ad journ until to-morrow, complaining that there had been no motive given that morn ing for the absence of Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien. THE SrECTATOBS PLEASED. At this stage the prosecutor was inter rupted by loud laughter, which caused him to pause for a few moments. When it sub sided he continned, saying that an under taking had been issued on the previous day of the hearing for all the defendants to be present to-day. Mr. Healy, replying, maintained that the other defendants had nothing to do with the change of venue which the two de fendants had selected, and the adjournment should be longer than that proposed by the Crown. Mr. Hart, for the Crown, did not think the experience of this week's ad journment had been such as to encourage the Crown in favoring a longer adjourn ment. It was ont of his power to say what might happen if there was an adjournment even until Monday. This remark uttered in involuntarily sad tones, was the signal for another out burst of laughter. The Bench expressed itself as sensitive to the embarrassment felt by the Crown counsel, but also felt that the adjournment asked wasnot unreasonable and was granted. The Court thereupon ad journed. Shortly after it reassembled for the purpose of issuing Bench warrants for the arrest of both Dillon and O'Brien, OTHEB LEADERS COMING. Messrs. T. D. Sullivan, T. Harrington and T. P. O'Connor will sail for America on the 19th. T. P. Gill left on the 5th. The sudden departure of Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien, although it causes some sensation among the general public, was expected by the Nationalists and was, in fact, fore shadowed by a cablegram from this office on September 24. The starting of the American famine relief fund has caused them to somewhat hasten matters, as it is not expected that the re ceipts this year from the tenant defense fund will be half as large as those of a year ago, owing to reduced subscriptions, through the partial failure of the potato crop. Al though the Star says that the fugitives have gone to New York by way of Queenstown it is understood that the 'statement is made to mislead the officials, and that they have really sailed from Londonderry, Glasgow, or Havre, probably the latter. THEY ESCAPED IN DISGUISE, Until definite information is obtained by the Castle authorities no steps can be taken toward the execution of warrants or any other action. It is now thought that Dillon and O'Brien, if they have really gone, have escaped in disguise. The.uuthorities are greatly annoyed, although, unless the dis guise theory be true, they have only them selves to blame in the matter. A week ago it was publicly stated in court that the two gentlemen were to aaiLon the 9th. Moreover it was common talk that some- JOKE ALFOUR J I MR RctA n j! t HI fRppFW ili F?ris8ii .'IT ' STILL THE LIST GROWS.

A terrible explosion took place to-day at Bourge?. A sound as of a tremendous cannonade was heard, followed by a column of white smoke in the direction of the pyrotechnic school. At first it was thought that some scientific ex periment was in progress, but the evil tidings soon spread and crowds hurried to the spot. Military measures were at once taken to maintain order, the church bells were set a-ringing and none were allowed inside the precincts of the school but the relations ind friends of those inside. The scene was agonizing, ss stretcher alter stretcher passed by thedistracted bystanders bearing the dead. The people tried to lift up the sheets that covered the bodies, only to be met by the sight of shapeless remenants of flesh or severed arms and legs. General Keruhe, the commander of the Eighth army corps implored the excited crowd to be calm and his presence had a good effect. Inquiry showed ten dead, five of whom were inden tified the rest were reduced to ashes. Fifty human feet were found 100 metres (108 yards) away. The explosion was caused - f - iy the imprudence of a workman who pounaea some liquid meianite into an im perfectly prepared shell which exploded and caused others to do likewise. TREATED AS A KING. Triumphal Tour of Henry M. Stanley Through Continental Europe. fBT DDKLAT'S CABLZ C0MPANT.1 London, October 10. As the time draws near for the departure of Henry M. Stanley for his American lecturing tour the interest in him seems to redouble. The progress ot the newly married couple duriuj their travels- on the continent was almost like that of a sovereign through his dominions, and was marked by all the honors which the various principalities and the learned societies could shower on the great explorer. As a consequence he brings home a sheaf of addresses from them. In Brussels last week he was the hero of the hour, and the Ministers of State and other notables of the city vied with each other in calling on him and doing him honor at his hotel as soon as it was Known he had ar rived. At Ostend, where he went on the invita tion of the King, he was received with spe cial honors by the municipality and at once proceeded to the royal chalet, where he had an interview with King Leopold, their tale lasting over two birars and iar the, evening Mr. Stanley dineff&the royal 'fxlble. The date for his departure to America has not yet been definitely announced. A COUNCIL CALLED To Enter n Remonstrance Against the New Tariff Law. IBT PKfLAP'S CABLB COMPAST. Beblin, October 10.

(SPECIAL TSLXOBAM TO TUB DISPATCH. Washington, October 10. The entire Capital City was shocked this evening by the intelligence that Justice Samuel F. Miller, of the Supreme Court, had been stricken with paralysis, and that it was more than feared the shock would result fatally. Justice Samuel F. Miller. Justice Miller, who was apparently in the best of health, was returning from the Su preme Court room to his residence. Abont 2:35 o'clock he was on the west side of Thomas Circle, within sight of his residence, 1415 Massichusetts avenue. John Woodford, his servant, who was standinc in the doorway of the house, saw the Justice approaching. PELL ON THE CAB TRACK. Then he was startled at seeing him sud denly raise his hand to his heart, then reel and fall on the car tracks, which ha was crossing at the time. Wood'ord hastened to the spot and found the Jnstice speechless and apparently iu a stupor. He at once se cured a coupe from the neighboring hack stand and, xrfth assistance, placed the suf fering man in it and had him borne to hii room. Dr. Cook, who resides iu the neiehbor hood, and Dr. Lincoln, who fortucatefy was passing at the time, were soon in attendance at the bedside. They found that the whole left side of the Jnstice was paralyzed, but be was still able to recognize thosa abont him. Well known as Justice Miller is all over the country, but comparatively few people are aware that he was 30 years old beiore he began the study of law. He was born in Kentucky, April S, 1816, and consequently he was eligible for retirement upon full pay some years ago. The first 12 years of hit life was spent ou a farm, and there he under went all the hardships and toil incident to a. life of this kind. At an early age he was ; sect to an academy in Richmond for a year or two, and here ly mere accident he got a chance to study medicine. After graduating and receiving bis diploma, he commenced the practice of his profession. FK03I MEDICINE TO LAW. For eight years he was a country practi tioner, and then he made up his mind to become a lawyer. He had a wife and two children when he decided to change his original occupation. There are not many men who could safelv change from one pro fession to another after having passed the first period of manhood. He was more successful in law than in medicine. In the latter profession with his sensitive sympa thetic nature, he suffered more than his patients did, and the wear upon his mind was more than he could bear. Several years after being admitted to the bar, Miller removed to Keokuk, la. Here he took an active part iu politics. He was an enthusiastic admirer of Henry Clay, and considers him and Alexander Hamilton the two greatest statesmen America has pro duced. In 1802 was nominated by Presi dent Lincoln to be Justice of the Supreme Court His nomination went over to the Senate at 9 o'clock in the evening before the final adjournment, and he was instantly confirmed unanimously, without reference to a committee. This compliment is rarely paid to anyone who has not formerly been a member of the Senate. PHENOMENAL PEOGBESS. So that it was within a dozen of years after being admitted to the bar, this newly fledged lawyer had reached one of the high est places in his profession. During his 21 years upon the bench he has probably writ ten more opinionson constitutional questions than any of his associates, and throughout the country he stands among the very high est of constitutional lawyers. The first case to come before the Supreme Court, involv ing the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution, was given Justice Miller to prepare the opinion of the Court, and this was the first authoritative exposition of the amendments. Scarcely any public man at the capital has been obliged to devote so much time to the demands of socifcty. Xo dinner of the White House, foreign Ministers or Cabinet officers was considered complete without the popular Justice, and, he was counted as one of the after-dinner speakers. The result of his present attack will be awaited with the most intense solicitude. TO-MORROWS Big 20-Page DISPATCH -will hold 160 Columns. It is the largest and best newspaper In Pennsylvania.
