IU7 Telegraph to the Pittsburgh Gazette.)
LONDON, Sept. 13.—The Daily News
contains another letter from Wm. 'Howitt
on the charges against Lord Byron. He
says Lady Byron has condemned herself
by the breach of an honorable silince.
Irrepairable wrong was done . Byron, by
the destruction of the papers containing
his juStification,• and a solution of the
question is impossible except on exparte
evidence.
Dr. Forbes Winslow, in a public com
munication on the. same subject, holds
that the theory of the mental aberation
of Lady Byron cannot be maintained.
The Times, in an editorial today, com
menting on the Emperor's illness and
the publication of the Senalus Consultum, -
says the person of the Sovereign is of
secondary importance if personal gov
ernment .is ended. It matters little
who is Emperor or Regent, the essential
question is who is Minister, on' what
terms does he hold office, and on what
principles does he condnat the ad
ministration. No one can govern except
through the Cabinet and enjoying the
confluence of the majority of the people.
• FRANCE.
PARIS, September . 13.—The to pest
yesterday prostrated the telegraph Wires,
and communication in every direction
was temporarily interrupted.
The Emperor's health Is better to-day.
It is asserted the Empress' will set out
again on her voyage to the east..
GEM. Prim, while at Vichy, had a con
ference with the Spanish Ambassador
to England and. Prance on the subject of
the communication received from Wash
ington. - It is rumored that the disposi
tion of the people of the United States to
interfere in the affairs of Cuba was de
nounded at the conference se an act of
ingratitude to Spain, and the hope was
expressed that Spain would reply ener
geticaby to the officious manifestations
of the Americans.
PARIS, Sept,. 13.—There is no, authority
for the rumo r purporting to state what
took place at the conference of General
Prim and the Spanish Ambassador at
yichy. -
Le Public condemns the Americans
for intermeddling in the Cuban question,
and thinks the Spanish government
should resent their lnterferenoe.
The Late Digester—Peeling Among the

(By Telt graph to the Pittsburgh Gaisette.l
SCRANTON, Pa., September 13.—There
is little subsidence of the feeling among
the miners concerning the disaster. and
the new theory , developed by the testi
niony is discussed with vehemence, and
the probability that the incendiarism
will be proved is eagerly watched for.
It is generally and sincerely believed
that the shaft was flied, but no miner is
so unjust now to charge the crime upon
any nationality, nor is It even supposed
that the person committing the horrible
act intended to accomplish the death of
a . single miner, but only to frighten
them and stop the working of the mine for
an indefinite period. Acrimonious feeling
have existed and always has, between
the Welsh and other nations, but never
produced any outrage of consequence
upon either person or property, and the
nationality.that suffered almost exclu
sively by the disaster, is ready to ad
mit that the first outbreak ofrevenge
fnl feelings would not have been
of such a diabolical character. That the
shaft was tired they believe. but no-.
with the intent to take. life. When

MAINE ELECTION.
City Telegritob to the Pittsburgh Gazette.,
PORTLAND, September 13,—The elec
tion is very quiet and the vote is prob
ably smaller than last year, but the
parties will be relatively nearly the same
as then. The Hiokborn ticket takes off
less than ten per cent. of the Republican
vote% places heard from, which- will
not be enough to defeat an election by
the people.
PORTIAND. September 13, 9 P. m.—The
State election passed off very quietly, as
but little interest was felt, as the vote
is comparatively sthall. Returns come
in slowly. Fourteen towns give Cham
berlain 3,593. Smith 3,174, and Richborn
661 votes. Last year the same towns
gave Chamberlain 8,881, and , Pillsbury
5,982 votes, being a majority of 1,708 votes
against 2,679 last year. Bangor. Au
gusta, Belfast, Rockland and Lewiston
all give reduced Republican majorities.
Biddleford gives &Democratic majority.

Seventy-six cities and towns give Chain
terlain 19,167, , Smith 13,642, Hichborn
2,063; Chamberlain's majority 3,462. The
same towns last year gave Chamberlain
31,633, Pillsbury 21,317; Chamberlain's
majority 10,616. This ratio, if main
tained, elbows a total of 85,000, and
Chamberlain's election by 6,000 majority.

Pertains majority this year 4,497 again at
10,672 over ,Pillsbury last[year. This is
almost half the- State, and indi
cates a total vote of 88,000, of which
Chamberlain should have 48,000. Smith
35,000 and Hichborn 6,000, so that Chan].
berialn's majority should be about 8,000
over all others, against 19.268 last year
over Pillsbury. The total vote last
year was 131,762. Tae Republicans last
year carried fifteen of the sixteen
counties this year they lose one or two
more. They may probably elect twenty
seven- of the thirty-one Senators, al
though on account of split tickets here
may be no choice in a few cases as
it requires a majority to elect
Senators. The Republicans lose
a number of representatives on ac
count of Hichborn's vote, as in the case
of the Representative, aplural elects;
but they retain a large majority in the
House. As far as heard from, the Rich
born party have elected no candidate.

Devore Lodge I. 0 . 0. F.—Dedication
of the New Hall.
Yesterday afternoon over two hundred
members of the order of Odd Fellows in
this city, embarked on the train for
Wilkinsburg, to participate in the dedi
catory exercises of the new hall of Devore
Lodge. The hail is located in the second
story of a building owned by the lodge,
and specially constructed for the pur
pose. Through the princely liberality
of Mr. W. H. Devore, after whom it is
named, the furnishing and fitting up of
the building is of the most perfect char
acter, and not excelled by anything of the
kind west of the mountains.
The visitors from Pittsburgh were met
at the station by the members of "De
yore" and escorted In procession headed
by the Great Western Brassiliand to the
Hall, when the dedicatorp ceremonies
and installation of the officers took place.
The services were of that impreisive and
beautiful character prescribed for such
occasions and were conducted by the
Grand Master of the Order assisted by a
number of other officers of the Grand
,Lodge. At the conclusion of these cere
monies the Hall was thrown open to vis
itors, not connected with the order, and
in a short time was crowded with ladies
and gentlemen from the surrounding
country and the city. The company
after examining the interior of which
all spoke in the highest com
mendation, were entertained with
an eloquent address by Rev. J. J. Mo.
Myer, of Allegheny, after . which the
meeting adjourned.
In the evening visitors and members
partook of a banquet, gotten up in ex
cellent style,.at the conclusion of which.
the visitors from the city returrold at a
late hour.
The affair was an exceedingly pleasant
and enjoyable one throughout, and passed
off in the most harmonious manner,
leaving. agreeable recollections of the
occasion with every participant.
The Connellsville Railroad and Cherry
Alley.
A meeting of the owners of property
on Cherry alley was held at the Second
Ward School House last evening.
Dr. Biddle Arthurs was called to the
chair, when the call for thomeeting was
read, requesting all property holders and
agents for property on Cherry alley to
meet for the purpose of taking some ac.
tion in reference to the occupancy pf
that thoroughfare by the Connellsville
Railroad Company's track. Mr. Arthurs
said he thought that matter had been
settled by the action of Councils.
Mr, George W. Leonard explained that
he had been watching the matter care
fully and thought there was cause for
alarm on the - part of the property hold
-ers in the vicinity. He then reviewed
the matter at some length, and contend
ed that undue influences were being
