Terrible Accident Among the Merry Spectators of the His: Foot ball Struggle. DEATHS 1IARYEL0USLY AVERTED, But More Than Fifty of the Persons Caught Meet With Injuries of a Serious Character. THE STEUCTDKE WAS A PATENT AFFAIR After tti Wounded H4 Been Cutd for the Oiaa Pro- cstdtd, Kesaltag is a Most DtasiYt Victory for Silt BRILLIAKT POINTS OF THE GREAT CONTEST rSriCIAL TELEOCAK TO THE DHPMCH.I New Xoek, November 27. In the pres ence of 10,000 spectators at Eastern Park, Brooklyn, a big stand of seats, erected lor the Yale-Princeton football game, collapsed to-day and hurled to the ground 3,000 peo ple. The accident happened at .12:10 o'clock. Although at least 50 people were injured, no one was killed. The Executive Board of the Park D.iect ors let a contract last week for another big stand of bleaching boards 200 feet long and about 20 ieet high at the rear. Wagner Brothers, of Philadelphia, received the con tract, and on Monday and Tuesday of this week erected the stand. They employed two expert stand builders, whti had the nse of a patent owned by a Mr. Ziegler, of Buf falo. Mr. Ziegler's patent was to build a stand constructed with such rtn admirable interdependence of timbers tljat the more people you put in the stand the stronger and firmer it became. i A Suspicious-Looking Contrivance. It was tall and slender and suspicions looking. "When John "Wallace, Chairman of the Executive Committee, saw it he was a little frightened, but Mr. Ziegler's name re assured him and he contented himself with seeing that extra braces and supports were put at tho ends, and double braces in the middle. It was calculated that the stand would hold 4,000 people comfortably. Tt was just 12:10 when a woman on thn new stand screamed slightly, but lond enough to at tract the attention of the whole amphithea ter. "Without any shaking or trembling, with no noise of breaking timbers, the stand pushed slowly forward and sideways to the northwest. Some men jumped, each man clutched his neighbor, and a few women screamed. Everyone on the stand turned pale with the terror of an unknown peril. When the stand reached an angle of about 50 degrees a few timbers snapped and then all the boards and supports and braces fell forward and sideways and hurled the 3,000 people to the ground. Too S ndden Ei en for Screaming. Those on the lower seats were tangled in the timbers. Most of those on the upper seats were thrown clear of the wreck. There was not much screaming. It all happened too suddenly. There was not much noise about it the cracking of the first few sup ports, the crash of the whole structure as it tell in shattered ruins. Several of the women lainted, a few lav moaning upon the ground. Three or four men were uncon scious and some groaned with pain. There was a rush of spectators and em ployes of the park, and someone sent a call for an ambulance. Those who had fallen were either not hurt or only slightly bruised, stood up, cleared themselves of the wreck and helped the hurt and uncon scious. Stretchers were improvised from the boards of the fallen stand and the wounded were carried to the dressing rooms under the grand stand and the small build ings adjoining. TJio 'Wreck Speedily Cleared. In a lew minutes the police and the am bulances were on hand, and in 15 minutes fiom the fall of the stand the wreck was cleared of all the injured, and no trace of theaccideut remained then but the sin all pile ot rotten and broken boards and timbjrs. The dressing rooms and the small refresh ment house which had now become a hospital, face the main entrance to the grounds. The first thing the well-dressed, happy crowds saw as they laughed and pushed and jostled their way into the nark, was three or four ambulances. Every now and then the door of a dressing room of the refreshment house would open and a stretcher would be carried out. There would be a glimpse oi a bandaged head, the sound of a groan of suf fering, and the ambulance would drive away. Immediately after the accident a number ol people who were involved in the wreck secured carriages, or their friends secured carriages for them, and they were driven away to New York or to physicians in Brooklyn. Thus a complete list of the injured could not be obtained. Unable to Explain the Accident. Everyone of those on the stand who was risked about the wreck seemed unable to give any clear account of it. They say that it came so suddenly that no one knew what was happening until all fonnd themselves upon the ground, with the ruined stand about and behind them. The southern sup ports remained upright, and the rest of the stand formed a steep slide, sloping north ward and westward, over which hundreds of people slid smoothly to the ground. Those in the lower seats and toward the middle of the stand fared the worst. Very lew fell into the midst of the wreck, and these few were those that were so seriously hart. The lowest estimate puts the number of people injured at 50, while others place it UN SCREAM as high as 60 or more. Many of the friends of the wounded people had them carried at once out of the grounds and placed in hacks. Among those who were treated on the grounds and afterward taken away were: I'arUnl List of Injured. Charles Wilson, ankle; Cadets John Aqulllar and I'erln Darney, of tho Military Institute at Peckskill, two yonnc lids, backs badly sprained and bruised: Emery B.

Princeton's Team Unable to Withstand the Rushes of the Xeir England Giants Some of the Brilliant Plays Made A Score of 32 to O. TSFZCIAI. TELEOrtAM TO THZ DISPATCH. 1 New- York, November 27. The blue lagged cohorts of Yale t "ooped down on Princeton's tigers at Eastern Park this afternoon, and when tL din of the battle hacUceased, and the moke lifted from the scene of carnage, the followers of the orange and black we'; dismayed to find that their crack football team had been routed by a score of 32 to 0. It was sweet revenge for last year's de feat, but it was not as great a game as that at the Berkeley Oval when Princeton won the championship from Yale in '89, nor did it compare with the struggle at Springfield last week between Harvard and Yale. Nevertheless to Yalenians it was immensely superior to both, as it gave them a chance to enthuse and yell as only a triumphant Yale crowd can. Princeton Not in the Bush. Princeton was palpably weak at almost every point, but particularly on the rush line, as the Yale men readily found holes through which to force McClung, and the eel was even more elusive the blues' half back. Time and again he electrified the crowd by the brilliancy' of his play, his running and dodging being simply superb. In fact McClung was the hero of the game. Behind her rush line Princeton was in no way so strong as her opponents had figured her, and Captain Poe, although tackling superbly, did not seem to be able to run. King and Spicer were invariably downed before making material gains. The giant Heffelfinger and Harvey, S. Morrison and .Rhodes, next to McClung. deserve special mention for Yale, but suffice it to say that Princeton was overmatched. No more brilliant assemblage ever at tended a football game in the vicinity of New York, and that means everything. After the excitement incident to the falling of the stand had snbsided, and the police had begun the work of removing the wounded, extra gates were thrown open and streams of humanity continued to pour in in undiminished numbers. Opening of the Struggle. Princeton won the ball, and there was almost breathless silence as play began. Forming the V, with little Poe in the center holding the hall, the black and yellow legs tear the ground, but the Yale men are upon them, the gigantic Heffelfinger leaping high into the air and the wedge is torn asunder before any material gain is made. King and Spicer, Princeton's halt backs, are quickly hustled through Yale's center when the ball is put in play and score gains of ten and five yards respectively before they are downed by Hartwell and Rhodes. Captain Rhodes got the ball and, guarded by three stalwart Yale men, he got to with in three yards of the goal and by a great effort shoved the ball to within a yard of the goal line. This was a sure thing lor Yale, but they had to try three times before they got the ball over. Princeton did great work here and was vigorously applauded. McClung, who had beretolore had no show, got the ball and shoved himself through a hole in the Princeton line and secured the first point a touchdown. He kicked a goal soon after. Princeton tried the V trick again, but failed. Homans tried a kick, but did not make much on it. Tho Brilliant Player Again. After several ineffectual passes McClung made a daring run of 15 yards going by Poe and Fnrness like a whirlwind. Biggs tackled low and nailed his man. McClung, after four downs, got the ball and forced his way ten yards. Big Heffelfinger mowed half a dozen Princeton men down and gamed another ten yards. The Princeton rush line seemed to be mere striplings as compared with Yale's heavy line. The lat ter, when being shut out on the ends, by sharp rushes pushed right through their op ponents line. Princeton used bad judgment. They tried the same tactics instead of going on the ends, and they might just as well have bucked against a stone wall as against the Yale giants. This was when the superiority of Yale first began to make itself manifest. In their rushes they-guarded their runners well, and this was an important point. Princeton got the ball on ofT-side play and Homans kicked 30 yards. McClung caught the ball and made his first phenomenal run, gaining by dodging and bunting 25 yards. It was a case of seesaw for ten minutes, neither side gaining much. Some Blunders for Princeton. First one side would advance and then he forced back by the other. When Yale got the ball again Harvey made a good kick, and by Princeton's fumbles and bad plays Yale again got the rubber. Heffelfinger made ten yards and then McClung got to within ten yards of Princeton's goal, but Yale lost it by off Bide play, and again Homans made a punt. B. Morrison got it and passed it to McClung, who made one of his invincible runs, passing half a dozen who touched him. On, on he went around the edge dodging and blocking, watched by the breathless multitudes. He was tackled bv 'several Princeton players, but he had the bail over by a yard and again the crowd yelled. He failed to make a goal, so the score was 10 too. Here it was that Yale began to get down to work. They played with a dogged per sistence that was marvelous. Every known trick and some that are not known was used by them. They excelled in blocking, inter ferring, passing, running and in tackling. The latter was Princeton's great weakness. Thev seemed to be afraid of the Yale giants. In r. rus.li King was badly hurt, but revived sufficiently to go on with the game. The ball was passed to McClung, who made his third phenomenal run and secured his third touch-down aud second goal. Score, 16-0. A series of brilliant plays followed, bat be fore any advantage could be gained time was called. Score: Yale, 16; Princeton, 0. Second Half of the Scrimmage. At 3:10 o'clock the second half began. No one was in doubt about the result now, and gloom had fallen over the Princeton contingent. Rhodes began the fine playby making a long run of 30 yards, after making a hole on the end. Poe tried to stop him, but was hurt After five minutes he said he was ready to resume. Then followed a series of runs by Rhodes, Heffelfinger and McClung, which carried the ball to the Princeton's 20-yard line. Princeton seemed incapable of stopping the mad, irresistible rushes of the Blues. After a lot of passing and blocking Harvey shoved the ball to the 30-vard line, and it was then carried to within 10 yards by Heffelfinger. The most brilliant playing of the game was here displayed. With the ball in McClung's hands and guarded by three men he made another run and made the touch-down in 40 minutes. Goal was then made, and it was 22 to 0. Bliss took Harvey's place and Pringle Jones that of Thomas, on account of in juries. Homans made a great punt, but the bill fell into McCInng's hands. May be a Mesmerist. That settled it. He ran along without any interference whatever. It seemed that when he looked at a Princeton man the lat ter would be hypnotized or something nearly akin to it. This touch-down and goal was made in 13 minutes. Score, 28 to 0 in the Blue's favor. Yale was now play ing with Princeton and only exerted them selves to shut out the Orang'e and Black. It was Princeton's ball, and Homans kicked well up the field and Yale worked it back. Stanley Morrison got the ball and made one of the best runs of the game. He dodged and blocked, and, guarded by Heffelfinger, who kept all comers at bay, he made the touch-down in four minutes. McClung failed to kick the goal aud the ball was back in the field again. The referee now called time, and the vast crowd uttered one long yell and rushed for the trams. Several were trampled on, and the police were utterly helpless. They shared about the same fate as the unfortu nate spectators. The final score was 32 to 0 in Yale's favor, and great is the rejoicing in the New England camp to-night. SHIP CREW RESCUED. STEAMSHIP PENNSYLVANIA SAVES MANY SEAMEN'S LIVES. Tho British Ship Fhlcon, From New York Bound for Glasgow, Goes to the Bottom After Being Abandoned A Tale of Peril aud Suffering. Philadelphia, November 27. The steamship Pennsylvania arrived at her dock to-day, and reports that the British steamer Falcon, from New York for Glasgow, with a cargo of staves, was abandoned on the 16th instant in a sinking condition, having en countered very heavy gales. The Captain and crew were taken off by the Pennsyl vania and landed here. The crew of the Falcon consisted of Captain McMillan and 15 men. On the morning of November 16, while standing on the bridge, the Pennsylvania's Captain discerned in the distance signals of distress burning. He immediately changed his course and came up with the vessel. Her crew asked to be taken off. "The life boat was launched with great difficulty," said the Captain, "but we finally succeeded in taking all hands off. Had we been but a few hours later nothing on earth would have saved these men, as a terrible gale sprang up suddenly, causing such tremendous seas that a small boat could not have lived through it." Captain McMillan, of the Falcon, told tfee'follojwngrstorvt'Wer-s&lle-d' fronTNew York, Sunday, November 2. Front the start wo had bad weather which gradually increased to heavy gales. We stood the blow until the morning of the 15th instant, when we sprang a serious leak. Heavy seas continually washed over the vessel, smash ing the forecastle, carrying away the ventilators and crushing the decks. Through a broken sk-ylight tons of water poured, putting out the fires. A fresh fire was started by burning loose boards and wood, but the water soon extinguished this also. We were now in serious danger, as the water was rapidly gaining in the hold, aud with no steam to work the donkey pump our vessel was liable to fill and sink at any moment. All our life boats had either been washed overboard or damaged to such an extent that no hope was left us in that quarter. The only resource left us was to keep the vessel afloat until we could be taken off by some passing ship. Accordingly, the hand pumps were manned and an attempt made to keep the water down. At midnight, after hours of hard work, the discouraging dis covery was made that the water had gained slightly on us. The tact that the steering gear was useless left the vessel un manageable aud she lay in the trough of the sea where she walloped and dove into each succeeding wave at such a fierce rate that it was almost impossible for the men to keep their feet." The crew of the Falcon had al most given up hope of being rescued when the lights of the Pennsylvania attraeted their attention. Signals of distress were burned and promptly answered. The men were ready to drop from fatigue when taken on board the Pennsylvania. SMALLPOX ON A TRAIN. A Passenger Car in Utah Quarantined, and the Passengers Prisoners. Salt Lake Cut, November 27. There was quite a sensation on the Short Line yesterday morning by the discovery of a case of smallpox on an East bound tram between Pocatello and Montpelier. Man ager Ressaguic was wired from Montpelier and asked for orders. He wired Green River to have Assistant Superintendent Fowler quarantine the car and have Sur geon Osborne investigate at once. There were 12 passengers in the car, but Mr. Ressaguie did not imagine thev would all be there when the train reached Green River. He rather thought they would es cape some way or other. The company has a pest bouse at Rock Springs, whither the smallpox patient will be removed. The car with the patient was side-tracked at Bryan, three stations this side of Green River, and the patient's fellow-passengers put into an other car by themselves, to be overhauled at Green River by the company's surgeon. CBETEH IS RETICENT, Bat He Thinks Parncll Will Not Resign, and Predicts Tory Disappointment. Cincinnati, November 27. William O'Brien said to a reporter this morning: "The Irish members in this country will meet at the Burnet House here to-morrow. I have no answer from my cablegram to England as yet. I can say bnt little until after our meeting to-morrow, bnt I do not think Parnell will resign. "I will say this, however, that the Tories will be disappointed in their hopes that the Irish Liberal party will split. When this matter is finally settled we will be as strong as ever. I do not know now what that set tlement will be." LARGE COOPERAGE WORKS BURNED. Tho Loss 875,000, and the Insurance on the Plant Almost Nothing. Green Bat, "Wis., November 27. The drying kilns of D. W. Britton's cooperage works burned to-day. with a large quantity of stock and three adjoining dwellings. The loss is $75,000, and the insurance only nominal. The plant was the largest in the city, and the fire is believed to hare been incendiary. PITTSBURG, FRIDAY, BREAK IN THE RANIS. Talk of Opposition to Harrity as Secretary of State. BADLY 11IXED STATE OF AFFAIRS. Gordon and Stenger Want to HaTe a Say in Appointments. THE G0TERN0R FIRM IN HIS PURPOSE rSFZCIAI, TXLZOXAX TO TUB DISFATCn.1 Philadelphia, November 27. The most noticeable features of the reception held last night by the Young Men's Demo cratic Association in honor ot Governor elect Pattison was the absence of ex-Secretary of State William S. Stenger, who served with Governor Pattison during his fonr years" term of service, and Judge James Gay Gordon, who wasfappointed Judge by the Governor. Messrs. Stenger aud Gordon have since 1882 been the most intimate political and personal friends of the newly-elected Governor, and their ab sence was much commented upon. It has leaked out that their absence was premedi tated. William.F. Harrity, ex-Chairman of the State Committee, has been virtually selected as Secretay of tate and W. TT. Hensel, of Lancaster, as Attorney Geueral. Gordon and Harrity have not been on terms of frendship for a number of years and when the former was agreed upon for the best office within the gift of the Governor, the latter in strong language protested against Mr. Harrity's appointment. TO OPPOSE THE GOVERNOR Despite the wishes of Messrs. Stenger and Gordou, the Gowrnor-elect has determined to go ahead with the appointments as orig inally intended, and the Judge and ex-Secretary, without in any way mincing matters, have started in with the determination to unite their forces in opposition to those of the Fattison-Harrity-Heusel combine. The "Wallace people, taking the cue from the ex Senator, who has declined to allow the use of his name in connection with the caucus nomination of the Democracy for United States Senator, have fallen into line with the Gordon-Stenger people, and their de termination is to so, work upon the Gover-iior-elect as to cause a change iu the ap pointments as now agreed upon. "What the "Wallace peonle want is recog nition, and tbey are asking that Chairman Kerr, of the Stafc Committee, be made Sec retary of State, and if this be done they are content to put up with the appointment of Mr. Harrity as Attorney General, if the latter will accept and the Governor agrees to the change. "When the hitch will occur between the forces which are now in arms against the Governor will be when the Gor-den-Stenger contingent learn what the Wal lace people are doing. THINGS MUCH COMPLICATED. The latter have been working to secure the accomplishment of their purpose for recognition without objection to Harrity's appoincment, while the former are more de termined in their efforts to have the ap pointment of Harrity set aside than any thing else. It can be truthfully said that never in the history of Pennsylvania poli tics on the Democratic side has there been such a complicated condition of affairs as exists at the present time, and if the Governor-elect weakens and Changes his pro gramme as now agreed upon there will be a still more muddled condition ot affairs. The Governor-elect is aware of the feeling that exists on the part of Gordon and Sten ger, and he would like ps a matter of per sonal friendship to oblige them, but looking to the future and tecngmzing that the politi cal machinery of the State is in the handa of the Scott-Harrity-Hensel combination, he is compelled for self-protection to cast his lines with the men who not only stood by him in his fight for nomination and election, but who are able to deliver the delegates to the National Convention of 1892. , C0NVICTSGIVE THANKS. TWO MURDERERS RESPITED AND ONE LIFE MAN PARDONEP. Preparation for the Execution of Popp and Smith, to Take Place Last Night, Inter rupted Just in Time A Happy Thanks giving Dinner. Columbus, November 27. Henry Popp. the Stark county, and Isaac Smith, the Pike county murderers, who were to be executed at the penitentiary annex to-night, between 12 aud 2 o'clock, have been granted a respite by Governor Campbell to December 19. Elmer Sharkey, the Preble county matri cid6, has been sentenced to hang the same night, which will make three executions at that lime unless there should be further in terference on the part of the Governor. The action in the Popp case was the re sult of the Governor not having time to ex amine a part of the evidence and the report of the Board of Pardons in the case. The attorneys for Smith were before the Govern or the greater part of the day, urging a com mutation of sentence, to which the Govern or would not accede, but extended the re spite in order to give opportunity'for the in vestigation of certain information which he deems essential. All arrangements had been made for the executions to-night The usual Thanks giving dinner as served atthe penitentiary, after which the 1,600 convicts were given the freedom of the yard. The gloom in cident to the approaching execution was re lieved by the Governor calling from the number Cornelius Heathcrton, a life man, convicted in Clark county in 1873, who was made the beneficiary of the Thanksgiving pardon. Heatherton had a perfect record, and asked the privilege of remaining over the holiday with the prisoners, which was granted. TOBACCO MEH'S DEMANDS.

A UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR PERFORMS STARTLING FEATS. Drives a Team on a Dead Bun Through Many Streets Previously Traversed by Those Who Tested Him He Calls Mind Beading a Fraud. Ann Arbor, Mich., November 27. Prof. Charles E.Gatchell,of the Homeopathic Department, pronounces mind reading a "fake," and was in Chicago last fall when Alexander Johnstone, thegreat.mind reader, perfprmed his wonderful feats. Prof. Gatchell studied the matter thoroughly, and finally concluded that he could do the same "trick," as Tie called it, and all the other tricks which Johnstoue did. He then posted $500 with a Chicago paper, to be forleited to charity if he' failed, if Mr. Johnstone would do the same, but the latter gentleman did not see fit to accept the offer. Mr. JohnUone gives an exhibition here this evening, and Prof. Gatchell has not changed his opinion of his work, and has made an offer of 500 to the gymnasium fund under the same conditions as he before made at Chicago. Prof. Gatchell is not a believer in mind readers, and claims not to belong to that class, but whether he does the work by mind reading or by clever sleight of hand, the'Professor certainly performs the same work and accomplishes the same ends as Johnstone. Monday evening he cave a number of Johnstone's lejts at the Psi Upsilon Hall, and gave them successfully. This afternoon be did Johnstone's great act of driving a lively team, on the dead run, through a number of streets, over which the committee had previously driven. The first thing done was to decide on a -word to be taken from Webster's Dictionary, and the committee decided on "mucilage," on page 864. A team was driven over a route 13 blocks long, turning first one way and then the other, and complicating the soul as much as possl ble,ending where they started. Thecommittee then blind folded Prof. Gatchell with a heavy bandage, and then drew a thick hood over his head and tied it close around the neck. Everything being ready the Pro fessor and the committee jumped into the carriage. Prot.Gatchell took the hues'and drove the horses on a dead run, first turning one way and then the other, following the exact route taken by the committee. One of the committee asked if he could not drive a little slower, and he said, "We mind read ers all drive this way," and lashed the horses into a faster run. On returning to the office, he went to the dictionary, turned after a little hesitation to the right page, and calling for a paper nnd pencil wrote the word "mucilage" withont hesitation. An overcoat was thrown over his head during the latter part of the test asan extra precaution. The committee then made another examination of the paraphernalia used and the test ended, the Professor enjoying the discomfiture of the committee, who had expected a failure. VOLUMES OF SMOKE AND WATER, And but Little Fire, Damage a Drygoods House to tho Tone of 8150,000. St. Paul, November 27. Shortly after 1 o'clock this afternoon fire broke out in the Powers Drygoods Company's buildings and caused damage of at least $150,000 before the flames were subdued. This wholesale firm occupy the three-story Schutte block and the adjoining five-story Dickerman building. The fire broke out near the door of the first building and simultaneously on the third floor. To-day being a holiday no one was in the building at the time. The damage was chiefly irom water.and-smoke. In the husy "season the firm have on hand stock valued at upward of 51,000,000, but this being the dull time between two seasons the stock in the buildings did not probably exceed $500, 000, and consisted of dress goods, drygoods, etc. It was in the nature of a smoldering fire, and there was much smoke without much damage from the flames. Loss fully covered bv insurance. TEE BRAZILIAN QUESTS. They Arrive at the National Capital and Will be Suitably Entertained. Washington, November 27.

Mr. Parnell is convinced that the move ment to drive him from political life has Ijeen started by the radical section of the Liberal party for the purpose of destroying the independence of the Irish National . party, making it a mere appendage to the Liberal party, and that it is specially in revenge for the attitude he assumed on the question of the royal grants last summer. no sign of yielding. He is determined to resist this movement to the last On Monday he will make some most important statements to the Irish party, supported by documentary evidence which he will publish, and which he is confident will be decisive. The interview continues to the effect that Mr. Gladstone will now have his revenge upon the man whom he imprisoned iu Kilmainham jail, and who afterward com pelled him to consider the demands of the Irish people. Mr. Parnell has hitherto been quiescent, but he is now determined to take the field and will immediately issue a manifesto to his Cork constituents. The differences between Mr. Parnell and his recent allies became still more notice able in Parliament to-day, when Mr. Bal four, Tory Chief Secretary for Ireland, in troduced the Irish land bill. He said the Government's policy was the same as in 1889, but for simplicity the bill had been cut in half. Both portions, however, were practically the same as in the bill oi 1889. One variation of the present bill from that of last year was that it met in some degree Mr. Parnell's views. modified to suit him. Mr. Parnell had suggested that the priv ilege of purchase be confined to tenants whose holdings Wire, under 50 valuation' Though he (Mr. Balfour) could not accept exactly that limitation, he had altered the scope of the bill by excluding all purely grazing farms and farms whose tenants did not reside on them. Among other changes embodied in the new bill, one had reference to the objection taken at the last session to a 20 years' purchase then proposed. That limit did not appear in the new bill. (Cries of "Hearl heart") 8 Mr. Labouchere moved an .'amendment against pledging the imperial credit for the Eurchase of land until the country should ave given its consent at a general election. The bill was reported by a vote of 2C8 to 117. Mr. Gladstone, Sir' William Vernon Harcourt and Mr. Morley walked out before the vote was taken. Mr. Parnell and many of the Parnellite members voted with the Government. The rest did not votj. The bill was then given its first reading amid the cheers of the Government supporters. THE FIGURES CAUSE SURPRISE. The figures in the division of the reading of the land purchase bill created a good deal of comment as the majority was much larger than was obtained by the same bill at the last session. This difference was largely due to the fact that Parnell and his followers, including Mr. E. Harrington, John O'Con ner and Power, voted for the Government. It is held by Parnell'3 friends that his sup port was extended to tne Government in consequence of Balfour's concessions to his view iu reference to the holdings to be dealt with in the bill. The Gladstonians, how ever, believe ibis altered attitude to be due to resentment of Gladstone's action. After the House rose a hurried meeting of the Nationalists was called in the con ference room. Mr. Parnell was not present. The meeting was held ostensibly for the purpose of arriving at an agreement not to mention recent events publicly until alter the meeting on Monday, but great secrecy was observed as to what was really done. SOME SECRET INFORMATION. I am given to understand that Mr. Par nell has communicated certain facts to the Irish Parliamentary party, which, if made known to the world, would materially mod ify the opinions formed as to his private conduct, and would convince most Liberals that there is no justification for the demand for his withdrawal from the Irish leader ship. This suggestion has been conveyed to Liberal leaders, whose sole reply was that it came too.late; that the verdict in Divorce Court was not a surprise; that the defendants knew the whole of the evidence which was to be given against them, and that by entering no appearance or defense they admitted its accuracy. Even Mr. Labouchere, sturdy, radical and cvnical man of the world that he is, has de clared against Parnell in the matter, and Gladstone is receiving from all parts of the country and fromevery section of his party letters assuring him of enthusiastic approv al aud support. Irish people at home are in a state of agitation and suspense, but it is believed Mr. Davitt's manifesto issued to day will have an important influence upon them, especially as it is expected to be fol lowed by some clerical pronouncement. DAVITT'S OPINION. Davitt will publish in tbe Zaoor World an appeal to the Irish race at home and abroad. In this he implores the people to rise and show themselves equal to the pres ent emergency, and says that if Parnell re mains at the head of the party there can be no hope ot saving tne cause of Ireland. The Irish party, he says, contains more than one man who is capable of leading it to vic tory, and there is sufficient patriotism iu the party to follow a leader chosen from its own ranks by a majority of its members. In conclusion, he says that whatever decision may be made the Irish canse is imperisha ble, and he asks the people to pray to God that wisdom and conrage may guide those upon whom Ireland's hopes are centered. The Freeman's Journal suggests that T. P. O'Connor's return from America be hastened, and that the Nationalists wait until he arrives before taking definite action in the matter of the Irish leadership. AN APPEAL FOE PARNELL. JTha Evening Telegraph asks why Mr. AFTER. Parnell, elected unanimously to the Irish leadership, 24 hours before, should have voluntarily effaced himself by retiring. It continues: If the Irish party, on Mr. Gladstone's de mand, wishes to recant, Mr. Parnell is right to demand a solemn vote of want of confidence, in which every member must take part, each f member assuming the responsibility of his vote before tba Irish people. The business is too gigantic and momentous to permit ol the ac ceptance of a clandestine adjustment as a final settlement. Whatever is done must be declared openly In the presence of the nation. The Irish race everywhere must Know how each member of a party elected to support and not to depose him deals with him. When a conclave of tho Irish party shall have decided the lssne the Irish nation will demand the right to be beard in final review of the decision. A na tional convention has been held in Ireland for the solution of less perilons questions. The Telegraph vehemently urges the country to stand by Parnell and stiffen the verers.

Dr. Watson Cheyne, who began, a series of experiments at King's College Hospital to-day was seen by a reporter, when he said: 'I attribute the absence of any quantity of lymph at this moment to the difficulty of producing it in uniform strength. At present tbe exact nature of the constituent fluids is nnknown, but it is evident that it is a product of the bacillus itself, though how it is prepared is not yet known. Afnll dose for an adnlt is a cubic centimeter. The injection is made, in the back. The fluid acts through the blood. It is for this reason that the back is chosen for a starting point- It must be noted, however, that tbe popular idea that it acts toward the bacillus in the same way as a ferret behaves when in company with a rabbit is erroneous. "The fluid does not actually destroy the bacilli which are heaped together, in the diseased portion of the body. It acts on the tissues or cells iu which the bacilli are snugly hiding, leaving everything else untouched. The rapidity with which the effects of the fluid make themselves apparent shows plainly what a wonderful agency it is, and what care is needed in using it. In some cases. f extending over a peripd of 24 hours, relief has Tesuiteu'uroiu-the injection or a lull doso of the fluid. "The patients I selected at King's Col lege were all males. The first was suffer ing from tuberculosis of the hip, the second was a severe case of lupus, the third was a boy who for two years has been suffering from phthisis, and the fourth case fwas one of tuberculosis of the foot. When the injections were made the patients were all put to bed, and contin uous relays of dressers watched them all day and night noting carefully every change and every new symptom. "The doctors were invited to tbe hospital in the evening, when a thorough examina tion of the patients was made and their progress reported. The inoculation will bed repeated. Alter each operation the fever which follows it diminishes, and when the injection of the fluid produces no reaction it will then be concluded that the tuberculosis iufected tissues have been destroyed and ejected, carrying with them the bacilli which are the root of the disease. Nourishment must then be ordered and on that dav the patient may consider himself cured." AN ENGLISH SOANDAL. Lady Connemara Wants a Divorce From Her Titled Husband. TBT DUNLAP'S CABLI COMTAirr.l London, November 27.

A BOLD HIGHWAYMAN Capture of a Dominion Stage Robber f After a Long Hnnt. A COOL HAND AT THE BUSINESS. The Government to Pay a Reward of 55,000 For the Arrest. GOLD AMALGAM FOUND ON THE THIEF rsrZCIAI. TELIOEAM TO THE DISPATCH.1 Ottawa, November 27. Advices from British Columbia indicate that the high wayman who held up and robbed the Cari boo stage last summer has at last been run to eartb, and that a man named Wells will receive the reward of S3,000 offered by the Government for his capture. For cool audacity aud careful arrangement of pre ceding and succeeding events few robberies surpass that of tbe Cariboo 3tage, committed on the evening of July 11 last. It was a pleasant summer's evening, and the stage was going quietly on its way from Bakerville to AshcrofL The driver and a solitary passenger were all the human be ings aboard that evening, although the freight was or more than ordinary value. Suddenly the driver found a rifle pointed at his head, while in stern tones from the road side a man ith a mask covering his head and shoulders called out to him to halt, throw up his hands and give up the treas ure. at me muzzle of a eifle. The driver hesitated and for a time argued with this modern Dick Turpin, when in the most decided manner he was ordered to get down quickly or his brains would be blown out. Such a peremptory command was not to be questioned aud the driver descended, under warning that a rifle and a shotgun were bearing upon him. The robber further demanded to know if there were any China men aboard with gold in their possession. He was told there were none. The Cariboo stage does the express of the British Columbia Express Company in carrying goods and gold to and from the noted diggings of the upper country. The gold amalgam and dust are placed in a strong iron safe about 18 inches square, screwed to the stage below tbe drivers seat. The highwayman knew this and ordered the man to get down and with his wrench to loosen the screws that held it in place. This he did with the rifle still leveled at bis head. Having unfastened tbe safe, the driver was ordered to mount the box and proceed on hia journev without delay. The robber or robbers then made off with the booty, and all efforts to trace the perpe trators of the act were for a Ioog time una vailing. THE HIGHWAYMAN ARRESTED. The arrest on Saturday of M. V. B. Bow land, on suspicion of being tbe robber, has revived the interest in tbe affair. Through the exertions of Fred. Sonej, Government agent for Lillooet, aud F. W. Foster, J. P., and others, the case .has been worked up until new a chain of circumstantial evidence is woven around the prisoner. Bowland had gone to live in Bakerville in tbe spring, but had not succeeded very well. Earlv in July he was known to have less than $20. On July 4 he left presumably for the Horse Fly country. When next heard of he was working on the creek, a few miles below Ulinton and employing a white man and an Indian to help him in sluicing. He claims to have made between $1,100 and $1,200 during that time. He had iu his possession 50i ounces of gold amalg3m which he had delivered to the express to forward. He had about 100 worth of amalgam on his person when arrested be sides some loose gold in small nuggets. Upon examination it was found that the amalgam he had comprised four or five different qualities, a suspicious circum stance, as a working of perhaps five or seven ieet in width never gives more than one quality. Of one variety he had about 5800 worth. HE GAVE HIMSELF AWAY. A Prominent Tonng Man Tells His Em ployers He Defrauded Them. St. Louis, November 27. John G. Mors; was placed in jail late last evening by Deputy Sheriff Al. Collins on a war rant charging him with having embezzled 516,000 from the Jesse French Piano Com pany. The accused man is well connected, and is the son of John H. Morse, of Vine land, Mo., who was at one time the Repub lican candidate for Congress in the Tenth district. Business speculations and gamb ling are the cause of young Morse's down fall. Morse had been in the employ of the company 11 months. About a week ago Morse came to this city and informed his employers that he had been delrauding them, and asked that an investi gation be made. He was immediately placed in charge of two private detectives, and taken to a room on Pine street, between Eighth and Ninth, and was kept there until yesterday. The investigation revealed that a great many of his sales were bogus. He had been in tbe habit of ordering a piano, having it delivered, and by means of forgery executing a fraudulent chattel mort gage and then having it recorded. It has further been discovered and the investiga tion is not yet finished that the amount gotten by Morse in his 11 months' service will foofup nearly 16,000. BIVEB STEAMER BUBKED.
