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.

"West African colony of that name, give' an
account of the landing and triumph over a
number of tribes in the neighborhood of the

of Germans. The native tribes of Abo in
the Cameroons country have been for some

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. The Courier of this

TREMENDOUS SUCCESS
Attends Major McKinley's Great Mass
Meeting in Sandusky.
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.

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. This money, it is asserted, was se
cured in Pittsburg by Mark Hanna, of
Cleveland, last week, "in this latest list the
Spang interests are credited with a dona
tion oi ?o,ouu; asaoeiia urnace uompany,
2,500; Jones & Laughlins, S1.000; Carrie
Furnace Company, $1,500; Singer Nimick
& Co., 52,000, and the National Tube
Works, 53,500.
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.

For Allowing Tickets Containing His Own
. and Gregg's 'Name Printed.
Meadville, Oct. 27. Special And
now there is trouble brewing in the ranks of
People's party. The county was organized
October 15, and A. L. Tucker, of the Penn
sylvania Farmer, was elected County Chair
man. It was rumored at the time that a
resolution would be offered indorsing Gen
eral Gregg, the Republican candidate for

ocrat candidate for State Treasurer, but the
rumor was only started to gauge the pulse
of the convention, and it was found it
would not work

Tilden was in the city yesterday, closeted
at the Farmer office with" Chairman Tucker
and 19 "fixed" delegates from the new
party, and that a large distribution of tick
ets bearing the name of" Gregg and Tilden
was made. Democrats are indignant at
Tilden for his attempt to slaughter Wright,
the Democratic candidate for AuditorGen
eral, and the rank and file of the new party
are howling because of the deliberate at
tempt to sell them out.
MONBOE DEMOCRATS HAPPY.
Their Candidates Address a Well Attended
Meeting at Stroudsbnrg.
Stroudsburg, Oct. 27v Special
Chairman Barnet Mansfield was the hap
piest democrat in town this evening. The
cause of the complacent smile that fluttered
over the face of the field marshal was the
success of the great outpouring of Demo
crats, far and wide, who yelled themselves
hoarse for Wright, Farmer Tilden and for
Jacksonian Democracy in general.
The meeting was held in the Court House,
and was addressed by Harry Cavenaugh,
Thomas Emmons, of Easton, and ex-Congressman

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. "Woodard will be elected Vice President
and General Manager, to succeed A. H. Mc
Doel. The terms of the contract by which
the Brice-Thomas people advanced Bi-ey-fogle
money to get out of his financial diffi
culty last spring, stipulated that the syndi
cate should have full control. It is stated
that Woodard, who was formerly superin

tion, but declined. He has been President

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. Robinson, of the Thirteenth
Street Presbyterian Church. The couple
wore their Sunday clothes, and made about
as much preparation for the event as if they
were going to church. Alter the last words
were pronounced and hands were shaken,
they left for their Cincinnati home.
Dr. Chidlaw.was born in Bala, Wales,
July 14, 1811. He came to this country in
1821. He has passed much of his life in
religious work, and has considerable repu
tation in his native state. He has married
twice before, and has several children living.
Mrs. Manning is very wealthy. Her grand
daughter, Mss Lillian Heck, is a handsome
young woman, ami will probably inherit
Mrs. Manning's fortune.

NOT A SIGN OF LIFE LEFL
A Four-Masted Vessel Founders in. 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.

This is a garment which in most respects
