THE PITTSBUEG-' DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1891. CIVIL WARJN CORK. Cliibs,Blacktliorjis and Brick bats Greet Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien. 1LOT HEADS AEE BROKEN. An Anti-ParnelIiteob Marches Side Br Side With Their Foes. A BECEFTIOX AXD A CONVENTION. .Even the Eojs on the Streets Fight For the Eival leaders. AXD THE EXD IS SOT YET H? SIGHT Cork, Oct 27. "William O'Brien and John Dillon arrived here to-day. The two distinguished Members of Parliament were met by a deputation composed of members of the National Federation, representatives of the Gaelic Club, the municipal officers and a large number of others. A large number of people lined the route followed by the procession which followed Messrs. O'Brien and Dillon from the railroad sta tion. The procession was headed by a brass band and was escorted by a strong detach ment of police. A large body guard from Maurice Healy's quarter of the city, all armed with stout blackthorns, then surrounded the vehicle, in which the two orators drove, which, in the midst of a terrific yell, began its progress toward the assembly rooms. The Healyites, with sticks waving in the air, and uttering cheers for O'Brien and Dillon marched in a compact mass in the roadway. On the side walks, and side by side with their oppon ents, half walked, half trotted a perspiring throng of Parnellites, while between the two bodies of marchers were the police, warding off occasional vicious thrusts of the blackthorns and preserving the peace. An Assortment of Epithets. As the procession passed through the Etrects there was considerable hissing, and several stones crashed through a large por trait of William O'Brien, which was carried in the parade. hen the procession reached the assembly rooms and the two leaders at tempted to address the vast crowd their voices were at once drowned in yells and cries of "Murderers," "Traitors,"" "Cow ards." Finally the Parnellites gathered themselves together for a rush and were sweeping down upon the Healyites when the mounted police charged them and drove them back. Upon arriving at the assembly room Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien were given an enthusiastic reception, during which several warnilv applauded speeches were made. While the speech-making ti as in progress a body of Parnellites attacked the bands men of the McCarthyites and tried to de molish their instruments, now a favorite proceeding upon the part of the contending factions. A warm free fight followed, but it was only of short duration, as the police charged in upon the combatants, and soon put an end to the hostilities. Dillon Protests Against Violence. Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien, after the re ception at the assembly rooms was ended, escorted by a number of friends, attended the Cork County Convention, where Mr. Dillon acted as presiding officer. During the course of an address made to the county delegates, Mr. Dillon complained of what he termed the "organized violence" of the Parnellites, and made other allusions to the political situation which were loudly ap plauded by those present. Mr. O'Brien said in his address that he was willing to give fair play to his oppo nents, but added he would not yield to "brickbats and dynamite bombs" a remark which was received with loud applause. Continuing, Mr. O'Brien said tliat'they (the Parnellites) might blow up the office'of the newspaper epeenting the views of the McCarthvites, "but," he exclaimed, "they cannot destroy the spirit which animates that party."" Tremendous applause, mingled with some hooting. At another part of the discourse Mr. O'Brien, amid cheers, called upon John E. Redmond, the Parnellite candidate for Cork city and the new leader of the Parnellite party, to repudiate all responsibility for violence in connection with the dynamite incident last night in Dublin. Another Fight in the Streets. After the Cork county convention had adjourned, there was a serious fight in the streets of this city between the McCarthy ites and the Parnellites. As soon as the convention had closed its proceedings Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien passed throngh tne citv, still accompanied uv the proces sion which met them at the railroad station. Suddenly the McCarthyites were attacked by a large mob of Parnellites, and both sides fought desperately with sticks, clubs, shovels and picks. A detachment of mounted police was sent for and they spurred their horses in between the two lines of the combatants, striking right and left with he flat of their sabers amid two crossing showers of stones and bricks. A large number of wounded were stretched bleeding and groaning in the streets before the troopers restored order. The neighbor ing hospital had to find accommodation for many wounded persons by the time hostili ties were suspended. There is great excitement everywhere in Cork this evening. The antagonistic groups, it is feared, will reassemble, and there is danger that the battle between them will be resumed. More Fights to Follow. The feeling aroused throughout Ireland, and especially in this city, by recent po litical and factional savings and doings, is very bitter, and threatens to result in se rious conflicts between the McCarthyites and Parnellites. There were several affrays here last evening at the close of the various political meetings, and sticks and stones were freely used by both parties. The re sult is that a number of members of the two opposing parties are being nursed in the hospitals and elsewhere for severe wounds incurred during the frays. A girl, who was an onlooker during one of these political scrimmages, was seriously wounded about the head and face by ttones. The sermon preached last Sundav at Kil kenny by Father Fidelis, of the Order of St. Francis, is much commented upon here and elsewhere. Father Fidelis upon that occa sion bitteriv denounced the late Charles Stewart I'arnoII. taring that "the most de praved mounter wfio ever lived" was now "swept off the fare of the earth." The rev erend gentleman also said that the women who were supporting him were "limbs of the devil," and that the local workingmen's club was "a synagogue of hell." Eicn tlip Small Ifors Fight. Two boys of Limerick quarreled to-day w liile discussing the question of the leader ship of the Irish Parliamentary party. Finally one of the lads struck the other over the head with a htone, fracturing his tkull, for refusing to answer whether he was lavor 01 tne late Mr..Parnell or JUr. Healer. f The Xatlonal Press, declares that after the cxploMonof the bomb in the Abbey street area 50 or GO men, supposed to be part of the pangof Parnellites to whose credit the explo sion is placed, poured into the Xatioiial I'rest office shoiting "To with the Healy murderers. Is Tim dead?" etc., etc. The KaUer Severe on Immorality. Berlin, Oct 27. The JUiditanArjcr (official), by order of Emperor "William, comments editorially upon the deplorable immnrnlitr nrat'otant in Ttprlin Tt pnintna measures for the suppression of men who live upon the earnings of vice. The police must not scruple in suppressing this evil. If the existing laws do not suffice to deal with disorderlv characters they must be altered. FLOODS AND GALES CONTINUE. Wreckage Floating Ashore In England and Spanish Tillages Inundated. London, Oct. 27. Additional details of disasters from the terrific gales which haye prevailed along the coasts recently, con tinue to be received. This morning the body of a sailor having a life belt around his chest and waist, floated ashore near Yarmouth in the midst Of. a quantity of wreckage. It is feared that this furnishes evidence that a largR ship has been wrecked near that port. A Yarmouth fishing lugger, with her entire crew, foundered during the gales. Incoming steamers report having experienced fearful weather between Liver pool and the Island of Madeira. Their decks were continually swept by heavy seas, and a number of them were compelled to heave to until the weather improved. The floods are still doing much damage in various parts of the interior. A long railroad cut near Maidstone, Kent, which had been undermined by the floods, col lapsed to-day, completely blocking the railrpad lines. Throughout Spain more or less damage has been done by floods. In many of the submerged districts acute distress "prevails among the poorer classes. The Ebro is still rising, and is flooding the streets of Tortosa in the Province of Tarragona. Many vil lages are entirely isolated from the sur rounding towns and hamlets, and there is everywhere a great loss in crops and live stock. The villages of Gualchos and TJrice, near Granada, are completely inundated. A HOSTILE TRIBE PUNISHED. Germans I-and a Force on the Cameroons River and Fight a Battle. London, Oct. 27. Dispatches received here from Lagos, capital of the British "West African colony of that name, give' an account of the landing and triumph over a number of tribes in the neighborhood of the Cameroons river, Upper Guinea, of a force of Germans. The native tribes of Abo in the Cameroons country have been for some time subjecting German settlers to abuses of various natures. These proceedings the German Admiral determined to put a stop to. Consequently, he, some time ago, rendez voused three German war vessels jn the Cameroons river, and landing a 6trong force of sailors and marines stormed the villages of the hostile chiefs, inflicting severe pun ishment upon them. Eight of the German landing party were wounded. The number of natives killed is not stated. Pins IX's Decree on the Conclaves. Brussels, Oct. 27.

AN OVATION UPON HIS ARRIVAL. Camphell Gets in Another Series of Keren Speeches in a Day. FARMERS PROTEST AGAINST A PLEDGE fSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Sandusky, Oct. 27. -Major McKinley's meeting here this afternoon was a magnifi cent success, exceeding all expectations. Each train was crowded, and all had extra coaches. One delegation of over SOO came from Toledo. "When Major McKinley ar rived from Newark his train fas met by nearly 1,000 men drawn up in line. So eager were people to shake hands with him that it was with the utmost difficulty that he reached the carriage. The journey to the hotel was an ovation. After dinner the dis tinguished standard bearer was driven at once to the Opera House, which" was al ready crowded, and hundreds had' been turned away. The audience was composed of farmers, working men, professional men and ladies. The speaker discussed the silver and the tariff questions, dodging no issue, but push ing everything fairly and candidly. He was in good voice, and the points he made in his speech were Teceived with delight. Es pecial interest was manifested in his talk on silver, and when he declared he was not willing to chance free silver there was en; thusiastic applause. About the tariff he said, among other things, that if the older men who lived before the rebellion would tell the young men of the present time what thev had gone through under a Democratic revenue tariffhe would be elected by more than 50,000 majority. He said that if any person in the audience had been hurt by the protective tariff he wanted him to speak right out and let it be known, and repeating the call he waited, but none had any complaint to make. He was loudly cheered when he said the tariff law has already had one birthday and is bound to stay long enougli to have many more. Major McKinley spoke for nearly two hours. This was one of the largest political meet ings ever held in this city, and nearly 2,000 people failed to hear the distinguished speaker, through inability to get into the opera house. The Campbell meeting two weeks ago is dwarfed in comparison to this afternoon's demonstration. Although Erie county is usually reliably Democratic, the Republicans have hopes of carrying it next Tuesdny. Major McKinley left for Toledo at 4 o'clock. FABMEES ENIEE A PB0TEST Against a Fledge and Platform Plank of the . Republicans. Hareisburg, Oct 27. Special A delegation of farmers from Dauphin, Lan caster, Center and Montgomery counties met here to-day to head off, if possible, the Republican proposition and campaign pledge to abolish the mercantile tax system in the State. It is asserted that the farmers are greatly exercised over the proposition to abolish the system. About ?400,0u0 an nually is raised in revenue by mercantile taxes. If the system is abolished the farm ers contend that the amount of revenue must be provided from some other source. The only avenue open, the farmers say, is to increase the taxes on personal property and upon occupations. Taxes on corpora tions are fixed by law. The farmers own the bulk of the personal property in the State and they protest vigorously against any increase in their assessments. A com mittee of the farmers who attended to-day's meeting was appointed to confer with Chairman Watres on the subject. They will insist that the campaign pledge be re pudiated. Senator Jack Robinson left to-night for Erie, where he will take the stump for the Republican ticket His place as a non partisan juror will be vacant until after the election.

Special Gen eral Gregg and Captain Morrison were ten dered an emphatic testimonial in this city. A joint committee from the Gregg-Morrison "War Veterans' Club and the Young Repub lican Club went to Franklin last evening and accompanied the visitors here on the morning train. The young Republican Club rooms were headquarters during the day, where the programme assumed the form of an informal reception. The management was in the hands of the veterans, and hun dreds of old soldiers came from every part of the county. The club rooms and adjoin ing corridors were thronged up to 2 p. si., when a long line of veterans escorted the visitors to Library Hall. A few speeches were indulged in, and the greatest enthusi asm prevailed. From here the candidates proceeded to Titusville. A large percentage of the veterans present were Democrats, as are many of the 125 old soldiers who consti tute the Gregg and Morrison War Veterans' Club, organized a few days ago in this city. AFBAID OF PITTSBURG MONEY. Ohio Democratic Managers Ont in Another Batch of Financial Assertions. Columbus, Oct 27. Special The Democratic managers are" endeavoring to make all the campaign material possible out of what they are pleased to style the "fat-frying" of the Pittsburg manufacturers. They have given out a second list of alleged contributions to the McKinley campaign fund.

Besides this, it is asserted that Carnegie has put up a total of 525,000, and that Uie glass interests have subscribed 510,000. Altogether the Democrats claim that a fund of $100,000 has been raised in Pittsburg for use on the floating vote of the Buckeye State, and they are endeavoring to make an issue out of the matter.

It was rumored at the time that a resolution would be offered indorsing Gen eral Gregg, the Republican candidate for Auditor General, and A. L.

The meeting was held in the Court House, and was addressed by Harry Cavenaugh, Thomas Emmons, of Easton, and ex-Congressman John B. Storm, of Monroe.

" DANCING DENOUNCED IN A SENSATIONAL SERMON GEOKGIA PKEACHEK. BTf He Declares There Is No Sin Greater Only Pleasure of the Flesh In It At tack on the Episcopal Church by the Slethodist Dlvin6. Augusta. GA.,Oct. 27. Special Rev. "W. "W. "Wadsworth, pastor of the fashion able Methodist Church here, has created a sensation by his denunciation of Augusta society. In his last sermon he declared that no sin was greater than the fashionable dances, because that was sure to lead to grosser sins. There was the pleasure of the flesh in it, he had no doubt, but it was an immoral pleasure. The dance was not fit for church people, but for what he cared, outsiders could dance and go to the de'il. The'argument, he said, had been used that members of the Episcopal Church, and even the Episcopal Clergv, did not object to it. "What is the Episcopal Church?" said he. "Why, there are not as many mem bers of that church in the State of Georgia as there are Methodists in the city of At lanta, and we all know what that church is. It is neutral in both politics and religion, although it might be said there are some few good people in it. "We all know it as such an insignificant thing that it could not even get a college professor up here in Tennessee to accept the position as Bishop, when tendered on a silver waiter, and it is so small that even a man from the far West would not have it." He deolared the society women of Au gusta had a habit of- going to restaurants trequently and calling for drinks, and he knew one" lady who bragged that she could drink until she could put any man in town under the table who would drink with her. Then the divine described a party of Au gusta ladies and gentlemen who were going to Athens to an English party. He saw1 the ladies" deliberately pull out bottles of -Jred liquor" and drink in the preseuce of men. They drank, he said, until they were considerably en livened and were two sheets in the wind. If one woman goes out in company with one man with cards and liquor, he said, it is the last of her, but that does not seem so with a crowd. In his sermon a week ago Mr. Wadsworth declared the Mayor an acknowledged patron of barrooms arida self-confessed gambler. Then he went on to deal with Augusta's recently deceased Chief of Police by declaring that now Augusta had'the only Chief of Police she had had in 20 vears who was not a drunkard. The Old Monon Trouble. Indianapolis, Oct 27. It is stated here in railroad circles that at the annual meeting of the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago (Monon) Company to-morrow, W. R.

DECIDED IN FAVOR OF THE HEIRS. Too Much Authority Delegated to Incorpor ated Trustees. NOT REALLY THE TESTATORS WILL Albany, Oct 27. The Tilden will has been broken. The Court of Appeals to-day rendered a decision in favor of the heirs in the case of George H. Tilden vs Andrew H. Green and others as executors, etc, appel lants, and Laura B. Hazzard et al., respond ents, affirming the judgment, with costs payable to all parties out of the estate. Samuel J. Tilden, Jr., was present -when the , decision was handed down, and was warmly congratulated by many present on the outcome of his fight. Under the statute of distribution that regulates the inheritance of property, the issue of Mrs. Pelton and Henry A. Tilden, sister and brother of ex-Governor Tilden, come in for equal shares of the 8,000,000. Mrs. "W. M. B. Hazzard is the onlv heir en Pelton's side, and thus is entitled to 4,000, 000. The other 4,000,000 are subject to the claims of the six children of Henry A, Til den, namely, George H. Tilden, S. J. Til den, Jr., Mrs. "William B. Whittlesey, Mrs. Swan fa widow who lives in New Lebanon), Mrs. Willis S. Payno and Mrs. Schwartz, of New York City. JUDGE BROWN'S DECISION. Judge Brown, in his opinion, says in sub stance: "Unless within the rules which con trol courts in the construction of wills we can separate the provision in reference to the Tilden trust from the general direction as to the disposition ot the testator's resid uary estate, contained in the last clause of the thirty-fifth article, and find therein that a pre eren.tial right to some or all of such estate is given to that institution when in corporated, and one wl.ich the Court, at the suit of said institution, could enforce within the two lives which limit the trust, we must, within the principle of similar ca'ses, de clare such provision of tlio will invalid." According to the decision the corporation may be created in a form and manner satis factory to the Trustees, but takes nothing unless the executors, considering every cause and reason, deem it inexpedient to convey it to some or all of the residuary estate. In substance Sir. Tilden said to his execu tors: "I have determined to devote my es state to charitable, educational and scien tific purposes. I have formed no detailed Elan. Now, that purpose can be executed, ut under the law of New York it must be done through and by means of a corpora tion. THE TILDEN TRUST INCORPORATION. "I request you to be caused to be incor porated the Tilden Trust, and if you deem it expedient that is, if you think it advisable and fit, the proper thing to do is, to convey to the institution all or such part of my residuary estate as you choose, and if you do not think that course advisable, then ap ply it to such charitable, educational and scientific purposes as in your judament will most substantially benefit mankind." Thus was left to the trustees the power to dispose crt tne estate within tne limits de fined and to select the objects that should be benefited, and it is impossible to read the thirty-fifth article and find therein any preference in the way of aseperate gift in power to the Tilden Trust, or to seperate tht institution from testator's plan to de vote his estate to charity. The trustees are free to select the Tilden Trust and cause it to be incorporated, or to choose anv existing corporation as the instrument to carry out the testator's scheme. THE WILL'S FATAL DEFECT. Again, no event is named upon the hap pening of which any estatei9 limited to the Tilden Trust. The authority to endow the Tilden Trust, if that should be deemed ex pedient by the trustees, was not a separate power distinct from the purpose to devote the estate to charitable uses, but was inci dental to the testator's scheme and Involved therein. While we may admit the testator expressed a preference for a corporation that should bear his name, he conferred no right upon that institution. The person who should oe benefited by the will, and the par ticular institution tfiat should administer the fund, wtfs left to the selection of the trustees. We are of opinion, therefore, that the S5th article of the will does not confer separate power upon the trustees, and that an ulter ior provision cannot be eliminated from the will without destroying the scheme that the testator designed for the disposal of his es tate. As the selection of tho trust was dele gated absolutely to the trustees there is no person or corporation who could demand any part of the estate or maintain an action to compel the trustees to execute the power in their favor. This is the fatal defeot in the will. The will of the trustees is made controllinz. and not the will of the testator. Such an authority is in contravention of the statutes of wills. DR. CHIDLAW "WEDS AGAIN. At the Age of 80 He is Married to Sirs Manning, Aged 75. New York, Oct. 27. Special Rev. Dr. B. W. Chidlaw, of Cincinnati, 80 years old, whose hair and beard are snowy white, and Mrs. Manning, aged 75 years, whose grand daughter is just budding into womanhood, joined hands to-day and were pronounced man and wife. The wedding took place in the mornipg, at the bouse of Rev. Aaron Peck, 698 Madkon avenue, whose wife is Mrs. Manning's daughter. The engagement had been kept seeret, and until the Invita tions to the ceremony reached a few friends no one had the faintest .inkling of the affair. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Charles S.

Plain Sight TVJth All oh Board. BOSTON, Oct. 27. Special Captain, Chute, of the British, schooner Seraphim, which arrived at this port to-day from Bear River, N. S., reports that on Saturday, when his vessel was 35 miles south of Mati nicus, he saw a four-masted schooner founder with all hands. The Seraphim had been in company with the ill-fated vessel all that day. She first sighted her at daylight, the four-master being about a half mile dis tant from tho Seraphim. At 3 p. ar. the four-master stood to the eastward, appar ently making good weather, notwithstand ing the violent gale and high sea. The Ser aphim soon after stood off in the same direc tion. At 4 o'clock a passenger on the Seraphim noticed that the lour-raaster was flying sig nals of distress. Captain Chute made all possible haste to reach her. In the effort the deck load shifted, starting some of the stanchions, which compelled him to leave the Seraphim for her own safety. After a short delay in securing the deck load from doing further damage the Seraphim was again headed toward the distress signals. Before she had gone far the four-master was seen to take a sudden lurch to starboard, and gradually disappeared, going down bow first. On reaching the point where the vessel was seen to founder, not a sign of her was vis ible, nor was there any wreckage f any de scription to be seen in the vicinity.
