Thomas Pat rick Gill, a young Irish journalist who rep resents the Southern division of the County South in the British Parliament, arrived here to-day on the steamship Alaska. He is the vaugaard of the Irish Rationalists, who originally intended to come here in a body to tell the people all about the strug gle of the Parliamentary party against tre oppression of British landlordism. Mr. Gill is one of the best workers and talkers of the party. He was once an ed itor of United Ireland, He has spent sev eral years iu this country, part of the time as editor of the Catholic World. While here he was elected to Parliament, and went hack to assume the duties of his office. He is a graduate of Trinity College, and is 33 years old. In reeard to the coming of O'Brien and Dillon, Mr. Gill said: O'Brien and Dillon's Movements. "I have cot heard vet whether they suc ceeded in catching the French steamer at Havre on Saturday. I think it is rather improbable. They left Dublin, I under stand, ou the yacht beloncing to Mr. "Will iam Murphy. It was the plan ol the Irish party to send a number of its representative men together over here to talk for the 'sinews of war ' The arrest of Dillon and O'Brien frustrated this object, so they will iave to come in installments. O'Brien and Dillon will be followed by Tim Harrington and T. D. Sullivan. "The object of O'Brien and 0111011 is not to appeal for charity, but to state a case to the American people. A giant conspiracy is on foot to destroy the Rational party in Ireland in the interest of the Tory Govern ment and the landlords. We come to tell about that and to appeal to the Americans for assistance. "We appeal to no faction or clique, and we represent no faction or clique. Every class in this great country will be solicited to aid us. Thousands or IrUhmcn Imprisoned. For four years the Tory power has been trying to crush out the Rational sentiment in Ireland. During this period 5,000 Irish people and a third of their Tarliment rep resentatives have been put into jail. The persecution is still going on and the power Lehind it is stronger than ever. "It is not proper to speak of Dillon and O'Brien as if tlicy were fugitives from jus tice. They fled merely to fulfill their en gagements in America, and when thev get through here they will return to Ire land and cheerfully submit to trial and the imprisonment which will neces sarily follow. The programme at first was to have them submit to trial and then ap peal the case. Pending the decision of the appeal they were to come here. On last Friday a week ago we heard through one of the Government sources that are always open te us that Balfour's object was to pro long the triai until Christmas, so that Dillon and O'Brien could not come to America. Parnell the Leader. "We also learned that the Crown intended to proceed against Dillon and O'Brien under the act of Edward III., which pre cludes the right of appeal. Then the lead ers of the party determined to checkmate Balfour, aud it was arranged to bring Dillon and O'Brien to America. It had been insinuated in some newspapers that Parnell had not taken an active interest in the prospect of sending the leaders of the party here. This is false. Parnell is the inspiration o! the whole movement. It was he who summoned the convention that de cided to send them, and every act of that convention was performed only after con sultation with Parnell. He is the guiding spirit of the idea. The enthusiasm for and loyalty to Parnell among the rank and file of the party has never been greater than it is now. Parnell was not at the convention because he was in delicate health He dele gated Justin McCarthy to act for him. Jteports or J'amine True. "The Iristi party and the Irish people would be more disappointed if Parnell had risked his health to attend the convention than they are because he did not take an active part in it When the Irish people find a Napoleon, they are not going to risk him to the inclemencies of the weather." Mr. Gill said the extent or the famine in the "West, Southwest aud Northwest of Ire land had not been exaggerated in the re ports from the other side. He wanted it distinctly understood that the Irish orators do not come here to plead for charity for the sufferers from the famine. They believe it is the duty of the English Govern ment to take care of the sufferers because it had assumed the right to take the adminis tration ot Irish affairs out of the hands of the Irish people. In '79, when America sect millions to Ireland, the bulk of the money weat into the landlords' pockets. England's Duty to Ireland. "Where both wages and crops fail it is the duty of the British Government to see that the people do not starve. England has undertaken the government of Ireland, thus taking that 'duty away from the Irish people. We declare thatif to-morrow we had control of Irish affairs we would so manage them that Ireland would never again pre sent the spectacle of a beggar among the cations ot the earth. As long astheEn clish Government insists on denying this power to the representatives of the Irish people, it is for the Government to prevent the recurrence of these periodical famines. "We hope to get enough money to carry on this straggle of the Rational party, and' by so doing, put the tenants of Ireland in such a position that their lot will be no longer one of periodical famine. We urge the tenants to organize and establish what is called the Tenants' Trade Union. These unions agree to pay a certain rental to landlords, and, if the landlords refuse to accept it, they don't get anv rental. The scheme was eminently successful until Bal four came into power. Balfour Gets a Bap. "Balfour encouraged the formation of a syndicate of English capitalists to buy up Irish land, and pursue a policy of coercion, imposition and eviction. Bnt the tenants have made such a gallant fight that even this conspiracy, backed by the money of the Rothschilds and Barings, has failed to break up their unions. The Irish people themselves have contributed 5600,000 to help the tenants fight Over 5300,000 of this was puid last year. They have taken so liberally from their resources that they are now practically exhausted. They got help from Australia last year." Mr. Gill extolled the eonduct of the ten ants of Tipperary, his native place, iu de serting their old homes and leaving the town unpopulated, except by soldiers and policemen, and building a new town called South Tipoerary for themselves. The land lords did cot like this, especially a Mr. Barry, who loses 5100,000 a year in rent by it The Tipperary men, Mr. Gill said, were the ideal rent resisters of Ireland. They were inspired by Father Humphreys, Michael O'Brien and Daltoc, whom the Government vainly tried to pro ceed against for conspiracy. Mr. Gill said that the plans for the tour of O'Brien and Dillon through the country had cot been completed. He expects them here next week. It is understood he will arrange for a reception on their arrival in America. THE RETURN TRIP. THE PRESIDENT SPENDS THE SABBATH AMONG HIS NEIGHBORS. A Qolct Say Spent In Church Attendance and Social Converse The Presidental Party Will he in Washington To-Day, If Nothing Prevents. Indianapolis, October 12. The Presi dent's trip from St Louis last night was uneventful. In about an hour the train reached Indianapolis, where General Harri son was met by Mr. and Mrs. and Baby Mc Kee. As soon as the reporters were admitted to the car, the President inquired for news from Justice Miller, and seemed greatly relieved when the information that he still lived was imparted to him. Shortly after the partv separated, Secretary Tracy going to the Decison Hotel, Private Secre tary riallord to the residence or Mr. w. H. Smith and the President to the home of his son-in-law, Mr. McKee. After breakfasting, the'President drove to his old church, theFirst Presbyterian, and occupied his old pew" with Secretary Tracy and Mr. and Mrs. McKee. The church was crowded because of the President's visit. At the close of the sermon President Harri son participated in the communion. At the conclusion of the services the President stood for a time in front of the church, exchanging greetings with many of old friends, who crowded about him to grasp his hand. Then the partv was driven to the Denison for dinner. After dinner the President and Secrttarv Tracy repaired to a parlor, where his band was shaken by a large number of people. Ex-Senator Joseph E. McDonald called about 3 o'clock and took Secretary Tracy for a drive about the city. President Harrison, Mrs. McKee and Baby McKee followed soon after. After a short drive supper was taken at the McKee residence, which was then thrown open, and until 9:30 o'clock was thronged with visitors who called inform ally upon President Harrison. At 10 o'clock the Presidental party was driven to the car. The start for Washington will be made at 6 o'clock to-morrow morning. BANKERS' WIVES IN PRISON. Mrs. Tield and Mrs. Miller Spend Sunday In Durance Tile. ISTECIAL TXXEGKA1X TO TUB DISPATCn.J New Yokk, October 12. Mrs. Field and Mrs. Miller, the wives of the absconding London "bankers," spent a pleasant day at police headquarters. They are detained in a long, light and well-ventilated room in the dormitory on the top floor. The room is un carpeted, but is comfortably furnished. The five trunks and two traveling hags belong ing to the women were seized at the Coleman House on Saturday and brought to police headquarters. They contained a large num ber el elegant gowns, a lot of bric-a-brac, valuable jewelry, and seven big dolls be longing to Mrs. Miller a little girl. Mr. F. M. Lincoln said Mrs. Miller was of an ex cellent family, and that the charges against her were absurd. There was nothing found in Mrs. Miller's trunks or in those belonging to Mrs. Field that would implicate them in any war, nor were any of the $3,000 and 510,000 United States certificates found, although there must be $95,000 of them somewhere, for Mrs. Miller drew this amount from Brown Bros. & Co. before the orders came from London to stop paying the drafts. She entered snit last Monday in the Supreme Court for the $35,000 which Brown Bros. & Co. are withholding under instructions from London. SECRETARY TEACY DENIES That tho Government Has Boycotted the Roach, Shipyard. St. Louis, October 12. Cablegrams were received from London yesterday to the ef fect that a rumor was afloat there that Sec retary Tracy had boycotted Roach's ship yard on account of the fact that the yards have been bought by an English syndicate. The cablegram further stated that financial circles were perplexed, and that the finan cial papers had attracted the action. Secretary Tracy was seen last night, and in replv to" an inquiry as to the truthfulness of the London rumor, said: "I did not know that Roach'i shipyard had been sold to an English syndicate until shown this cable gram. You can say that the whole story of my boycotting the Roach yards is a humbug." DE0WNED WHILE DRUNK. Death of One of General Fremont's Vet erans, Almost a Centennarlan.

GOVERNOR CAMPBELL'S MOVE AGAINST THE CINCINNATI BOARD. If Beemelin nud Montgomery Step Out No Extra Session Will be Held Brice En--deavorinjj to Adjust Matters What Friends of tho Accused Say. , mmClXU TEL tO Bill TO TUB DISFATCH.l Columbus, October 12. Several mem bers of the Legislature arrived to-night for the extra session Tuesday to consider the alleged corruption in the boards at Cincin nati. A number ot prominent Democrats have been in conference with Governor Campbell dnring the day. An effort is be ing made to have Iteemelin and Montgom ery, of the Board of Improvements at Cin cinnati, resign. In this event, Campbell substantially states in an Interview prepared by himself and printed to-day, that should the resignations of these two members reach him by to-morrow noon he will revoke his call for the Legislative session. Some very pointed telegraphic corre spondence has passed between Campbell and Senator Brice at Lima to-day. On a matter so important to the party, Brice thinks that Campbell might have consulted him as Chairman of the National Commit tee and Senator-elect about his course, but he did not do so. The result of the work to-day is that Brice is to be at Cincinnati to-morrow morning. A conference has been called there of all the Democratic county aud city officials and heads of departments elecled'by the people. Brice will suggest that they join in a petition to Beemelin and Montgomery to resign at once, anil the case will be presented in such a manner, it is be lieved, that thev will do so, and the resigna tions will be in the hands of the Governor by noon. Friends of Beemelin and Montgomery say the two can resign, ostensibly for the good of the party, without reflecting on them selves; and that the employes of the Board may retain their positions in case two men are appointed to the vacancies by Campbell. In taking this course.it is proposed to put Campbell on the defensive. He will be asked by Beemelin that he select his own court or jury; that all service be waived and they take their differences directly to the courts upon the charge of Eeemelin's dis honesty. The friends of Beemelin believe the Governor cannot fail to accept such a proposition, and, should Beemelin come out of the investigation in good form, they argue, he will be foremost in the ranks of the Democracy of Ohio. Peter Schwab, the personal friend and ad viser of Governor Campbell, is here to-night, and says those now in the management at Cincinnati must get ont Lewis G. Ber nard, who is making strenuous efforts in be half of the detention of the Board, states that none of them will resign and the Board will not be abolished by the Legislature. DIED IN A DEESS SUIT. Suicide of a Well Known Young Now Torker at Ills Club. New York, October 12. Walton O. Kernochan, a wealthy young man who oc cupied bachelor apartments in the Delpha Phi Club, Ro. 5 East Twenty-seventh street, blew his brains out in his bed-chamber early this morning. He placed the muzzle of a revolver to the middle of his forehead while sitting on the edge of his bed, fully dressed in evening attire. Death was in stantaneous. The report of the pistol rang loudly through the building, and other oc cupants left their beds in alarm and hurried into the hall. The first impression that prevailed among the semi-clad young men was that murder had been committed. A policeman, who was summoned, forced his way into the room and found the young man lying dead with a ghastly wound in the forehead. Beside the inanimate form lay the revolver, covered with blood. The greatest excitement followed the dis covery. Kernochan was one of the wealthiest members of the club. None of the other members of the fraternity would express any other opinion than that the suicide shot himself during temporary in sanity, produced by insomnia, from which he had suffered greatly for many weeks past He was 27 years, old. His father, John A. Kernochan, who died about three years ago, was a prominent financier in this city, and owned big milling interests at Pittsfield, Mass., where the family originally resided. AFTEB FUGITIVE BUFFALOES. A Herd of 70 Escapes From Yellowstone and Hunters Will Trail Them. I SPECIAL TELEGBAJI TO THE DISPATCH. Denver. October 12. Acting Governor Meldrum, of Wyoming, has received a let ter from the Interior Department asking abont the whereabouts and safety of a herd of 70 buffalo that escaped from the Yellow stone National Park several weeks aso. The missing herd has been seen several times lately in the Big Horn region and is now thought to be roaming in the Red Desert, between Rawlins and the Shoshone Indian reservation. A big party of hunters went out to attempt the cap ture last week. The State officers expect to organize, under the direction of the In terior Department, an expedition to round up the herd and drive it back to the Park reservation. W H. Root, of Laramie, will, if this is dene, have charge of the expedi tion. It will afiord magnificent sport,' as the route over which the herd must be driven to the reservation is through the Big norn ami iuu rivers rauey ana across two mountain ranges, thronsh a conntrv impassable except to riding and pack animals. Wyoming laws prohibit the killing of buffalo under heavy penalties, bur it is feared that the herd may be discovered bv some of the roving hunting parties of In dians, who will have no scruples about killing all they can. This herd is said to contain the only bison in the United States in a wild condition. POINTERS FOB WOOL GROWERS. President Delano Gives Some Advice Before Resigning.

TBLKOBAK TO TEX DISrATCTT.t Philadelphia, October 12. Informa tion has reached here from Pittsburg that at the Qnay-Cameron-Cooper-Andrews conference held on last Thursday, a scheme was hatched, the purpose of which is to cut down the Psttison vote of this city on November 4. It was intended to have the matter kept secret on account of the severe penalties perscribed by law for interfering with votes or voters, but it has leaked out and a letter has been sent to Judge Gordon, ot Court of Common Pleas No. 3, in order that the Judges of the court may act upon the matter. The method of operation is not known, except to those who arc on the inside. What arouses curiosity is tho statement that the proposed scheme can be carried ent I without actual violation of the law. what it may be, or how it may be carried out has not been divulged to the pub lic, bnt it may be looked for in a few days, the intention of Judge Gordon being to submit it to ex-Governor Pattison. Judge Gordon, when asked by a reporter this evening to make known the contents of the letter which had been received by h'm, expressed his surprise at it being known that he had received such a letter. Judge Gordon said: "It is true that I have received a letter containing ref erence to the matter you speak of. Beyond that, at this time, I cannot say any thing upon the subject. It may not, upon investigation, turn out to be as grave a mat ter as at first might appear. The charges contained in the letter will be made known to Governor Pattison and his friends, and will, through the proper channels, no doubt, be made public should there be found any thing in them."

JBrECIAL TELZOBAM TO THE DISrATCU.1 Leavenworth, October 12. The visit of Secretary of State Higgins to this city a conple of days ago was the sig nal to those who were watching the progress of political events that a "hen was on." What was it? As prohibition is the lead ing factor in the campaign in this State it was plain that it referred in some way to that Was it to instil new courage into the drooping hearts of the Prohibitionists here; was it to bring a message of greeting from the great temperance Governor nominated on a ringing Prohibition platform and ex tolled on the stump and in the press as the cham pion of temperance? Not quite. The Governor's legate came not to the loyal Republicans who, though few in numbers here, elect all the officers in the State. He came to confer with the re. submissionists and Democrats, and a plan was incubated to oust the present Police Commission and tnrn the Metropolitan Board over to the Besubmissionists. The temperance people and loyal Republicans were thunderstruck at the duplicity which could so loudly vaunt its sympathy for the temperance cause and in the next breath try to sell out the temperance people. An indignation meeting was held as soon as the facts were known, and a ringing tele gram of protest was sent to the Governor.de manding that when any changes were made the Republicans, who were bearing the heat ana nuraen ot ine party straggle, should be consulted. It v as officially given out that the nlan had been abandoned, and that the Governor had taken water, bnt there is a report in circulation to-night to the effect that the same plan, slightly altered as to the personnel of the new commission would be carried out If the appointments are made there will be a 'Republican temper ance revolt of sufficient proportions to jeop ardize the snecess of the ticket in Novem ber.

CENSUS FIGURES GIVE CONSOLATION TO REPUBLICANS. Western States May Turn the Scale In Favor of the Democrats Denial of the Story That Itcturns Were Doctored for Party Interests. FllOX A STAFF COBRESrONDE-JT.l Washington, October 12. The sensa tional report which was telegraphed from Washington toaNewYorknewspsperyester day concerning an alleged conspiracy of the censns officers to make a wholesale falsifica tion ot the population of the different States in the interest of the Republican party and against the interest of the Democratic party, is prononnced absurd here by the intelligent and candid men ot both parties. Such a wide-reaching conspiracy would be an im possibility in this country, It would re quire the connivance of so laree a number of "conspirators" as to ensure a leakage or betrayal somewhere. The Republicans, however, have doubt less derived some advantages from the census figures, which the Democrats, as the party out of power, have not been able to secure. It is unquestionable, for example, that the Dnnnell reapportionment bill was drafted from figures and calculations emanating from the Census Office. These figures were only estimates at the time when the bill was constructed, but the estimates have proved very close. Mr. Ducnell, it will be remem bered, was Chairman of the House Commit tee on the Census, and he consulted Mr. Portet'e men freely iu arranging the basis of his proposed reapportionment. An officer ot the Census Bureau, in 'discussing the matter to-day, said : "Observe the bgures closely and you will see that, taking the population of the several States as returned and allotting a member to every 180,000 in habitants, it will make it very difficult for the Democrats to elect the next President unless this fall should demonstrate that the Republican line in the West is weakened by the passage of the McKinley tariff bill. "For example, the States now called Re publican, and iu this category are placed California and Iowa, will have a total electoral vote of 218, while the Stites classed as Democratic only have 1C1 elec toral votes. Then there are placed on the doubtful column Connecticut Indiana, New Vn.Tr nnd Wnel V imini'i 'Pha T"lo..ii i.a would have to carry all four of these to elect a President, while the Republicans need only c.irry one of them. Do I think the ap portionment bill will be passed as intro duced? I certainly do. A great deal of figuring was done before it was finally agreed upon, and nothing that can happen is likely to cause the apportionment to be revised. It is absolutely the best that can be made for the Republican party." A LOCOMOTIVE EXPLOSION. The Wounded Kngineex on Hands and Knees Sa es a Following Train. Huntington, Ind., October 12. An engine attached to a Chicago and Erie west bound freight train broke down at West Point last night and engine C9, manned by Edward Murphy, engineer, and George Kirby, fireman, was sent out from here to take the train on to Chicago. When in a deep cut about two miles west of this city the engine exploded. The front end blew out and flew a distance of 400 feet Engineer Murphy was badly scalded, but jumped off. his leg being broken bv the fall. Fireman Kirby .was blown from the engine cab over the tender and upon the track. He is so badly burned and scalded that recov ery is doubtful. The engine ran about 700 feet, the wheels keeping the track. The first mail to arrive found Engineer Murphy crawling up the track on his hands and knees with a lan tern to flag the vestible train No. 8, which was dne in a few minutes. The passenger train was stopped at the entrance to the cut Murphy's presence of mind and heroism saved what would have been a terrible wreck. A JUBIST KTTXT.D.

He stepped from one track to the other to avoid the east-bound freight, and did not see the west-bound locomotive.

Teaters, from Cass ville, W. Va., and "Wheeling Island, re spectively. Durr said in substance in his confession last midnight, that the three fellows had been coming along the pike near Toledo, when rain came up, and they got into the buggy of Jloses Bolden and Ambrose Nel son. PREPARING TOE THE BOBBERY. "When the latter came up to take posses sion of their bnggy, the fellows got over the fence and crawled under the corn shocks. Shortly after that they worked their way up to a havstack, and stood under it till about dark. Then Teaters and Ed. Dnrr went to the house. Bush Durr had beeD sick and refused to go, he awaiting the return of the party to the haystack. Teaters knocked at the door of Mrs. Saunders' house, and when she opened it poshed a revolver into her face, demanding her money or her life. The lady held in her hand a lamp, and being fright end, her hand trembled, knockin? the chimney against the revolver in Tester's hand, and breaking the chimney. The lamp went out leaving the party In total darkness. Teaters tried to strike a match, bnt was unsuccessful. MES. SAUNDERS' PLUCK. By this time Mrs. Saunders had procured her revolver and opened firo on the ruffians. The lad who made the confession hastily left, and went to the haystack, and after the five shots had been fired Teaters joined him. The three fellows left immediately, cut ting across the country to West Washing ton, and thence to the Middletown road. where Edward left his brother and Teaters, and went to Canonsburg, where he claims his sister resides. Her "name he gives as Mrs. Spicer. He says, also, that his home is in Mt Morris, which conflicts with the report that his brother gives to the officer, to the effect that they are not long from their home in Cassville, W. Va. The case is now a clear one against the Dnrrs and Teaters, and will doubtless be worked to the last notch. The confession of Edward makes it exceptionally strong. RUMORS Or OTHER CRI3IES. Two rumors are afloat, which District At torney Parker to-night states are plausible, but not likely to be substantiated. Thev are to the effect that the prisoners are the persons who engaeed in the barn burning throughout the vicinity of Canonsburg and other points in the northern and eastern parts of the county a short time ago. It will be remembered that not less than eight barns were destroyed, and in every case their contents also. The other rumor is that the fellows may have been guilty of boldins up two men near Canonsburg named Scott and Borcher a few weeks ago. However, the general opinion here seems to be that the parties have been overplaying the Jesse James racket and got caught ABDUCTED IN CHILDHOOD.

Mrs. Day, 55 years old, is in Cambridge searching for her father, from whom she had been separated 52 years. A romantic story is told by this long-lost daughter: "I am positive that I was born in Massachusetts, but in what portion of the State I do not know. My father married a wid ow with four children, and after my birth my mother and father quarreled about my rights as one of the heirs to my father's estate. He maintained that, as I was his child, I should have the lion's share, but my mother was determined that fier other children by her first husband should not be cut off, and althongb I was her own child she concIudeaVto sacrifice me for the sake of the others. Accordingly, when I could not have possibly been over 3 years old, I was abducted by a man and woman, who carried mc away in a buggy. "I was carried to New York State, and for several years was taken from place to place, being given into the custody of dif lereut hands.

The sensa tion produced by the disappearance of Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien shows no sign of abating. Tne police ate on the qui vive, but they regard the reported flight of the Irish gentlemen to America as a ruse to throw them off their guard, and thus allow the fugitives to escape unnoticed. To-day extraordinary measures were adopted to prevent their escape by the ITm bria or the Wisconsin, which, on their ar rival, were boarded by Qetectives, who searched the ships and scrutinized each pas; senger in their endeavor to find them. All the outlets of the harbor were guarded by policemen in private clothes, as it was feared that the fugitives would try to em bark by other than the regular methods. All the trains that arrived were met by de tectives, and the passengers closely in spected. Some policemen were sent off in the tenders which took the passengers to the steamers, while others rowed round in small boats and never left the sides of the ocean liners till they were ready to depart JOHN BULL BALKED.

In sbefheid espe cially the change just now is marked. Formerly this place exported 360,000 pounds in cutlery annually. It is feared at present that the greater part of this trade may be lost Birmingham will also suffer severely, and almost every other English manufac turing town. This ia declared to be no idle fright, but is unmistakably prophesied by the orders that have been countermanded and the advices that have already been re ceived. English steel gdods will bo neces sarily raised to a figure that will make them prohibitory in the American market, and, until the consumer in the "United States consents to bny them at the ad vanctd prices, many branches of the steel industry will be seriously affected. Cutlery trade here will be for a time at a standstill. The first result will probably be the discharge of some 2,000 of the men now employed in this industry and who will be rendered unnecessary when the anticipated great drop takes place in the business. Smngeling will also be very likely revived, and, doubtless, on such an extensive scale as will require the entire American army to protect the 3,000 miles of frontier between the United States aud Canada.

A man named George Gibbs was charged in the Marylebone Police Court on Saturday with throwing Gertrude Cooper, an actress engaged in the Empire, the Drury Lane and the Alahambra theaters, out of her window in the middle of the night. It seems from the story told in court that Miss Cooper and her mother lodged in the pris oner's house, and having frequent cause to eomplaiu recently of missing, letters, some of them containing money, indulged in the suspicion that Gibbs had appropriated them. On the same night that Miss Cooper had expressed this suspicion Gibbs entered her room and, after a severe struggle, carried her to the window and threw her from it head foremost to the ground, 50 feet below. In falling she gfasped the rails of the balcony and clung desperately to them shrieking "murder," until the police attracted by her cries res- cused her. The prisoner was committed for trial.

HOW THE SABBATH WA3 SPENT. The day was spent pretty much as Sua days are passed in many places with con siderable desire to see it over and the next day begin. Particularly was the day irk some to men who in their own land are ac customed to have their personal wants ca tered to as freely on the Sabbath as on any other day. They could not understand why Pittsburgers were forbidden to quench their thirst on that day more than another, or why a supply of cigars should have to be laid in on Saturday becanse none were to be obtained, for love or money, on the day of rest "What is the matter with your people," inquired a Sheffield gentleman at the An derson, "that they should put it out of their power to drink a glass of soda water or beer or buy a cigar on Sunday? Why, agreeing with the principle of keeping the Sabbath by a strict observance of religious duty and refraining from work, I think it would not be incompatible with doing so to make it possible to bny a drink or a smoke when necessary. You are a little behind in that, you know." But a good many of the visitors,, who had been posted on the privations that Pitts burgers persist in practicing on this day, ordered a supply of beverages and cigars to their rooms over night, and passed the time in "swapping stories" and half crowns. TOO MOIST FOK SIGHT-SEEING. The day was a trifle moist, and not calcu lated to invite the sight-seer to extend bis explorations of the city beyond a search for the church of his choice; a duty to the day which was generally conscientious-!- ob served bv the visitors. Many took advan tage of the spare time, on return from church, to write letters and mail copies of the 20-pago Dispatch to their friends. The hotel boxes were too small for the num ber of Dispatches put up for delivery.and in each place a big pile of papers awaited the rounds of the weary mailman. At none of the hotels had the visitors a gayer time than at the Schlosser. Mr. Schlosser had prepared a farewell banquet for his gnests, and 150 sat down at 3 o'clock to a capital dinner. The Germans were ia the ascendency, of course, as most of thera put.up here, and they rose from the table only when it was necessary to prepare for departure. Several impromptu speeches were made, and many encomiums on JPitts burg's hospitality and their host's catering were passed. Toward 5 o'clock a general departure was commenced. Charles Warmcastie's car riages were iu waiting and soon a long line of vehicles was rolling in the direction of the depot. Here the three specials were drawn up on adjacent tracks. Cards ou each car indicated where each traveler would find his section. The tourists at once embarked and proceeded to maka themselves comfortable for the long journey before them. Citizens who had been entertaining visit ors at their residences were present to sea their gnests away and members of the Re ception Committee busied about to see every one si'ely aboard. The first special pulled out at 6 o'clock, followed, at a few minutes' interval, by the other two. Salutes were ex changed between those on the platform and their parting gnests, and the visit of tha iron and steel men and their fair compan ions had drawn to a close. PLEASED WITH PITTSBURG.

Pretty Miss Allyne, with her aged father, stood on the platform of one of the cars, and waved her hand as a parting salute to John H.

The gentlemen doffed their bats low, and Collector Warmcastle remarked: 'Sbe is a very handsome girt" She deserved the compliment and before she started shewas loud in her praises of the hospitality of the Pittsburg ladies. She spoke for the other women in the party, and said she had enjoyed her short stay hers very much.
