The dates set for the celebration are I’ October 15,16.17 and 18. An attempt * was made a year ago to get up a celebration but the project fell through on 1 account of the apathy of some prornii nent men coupled with a disposition on the part of the city to withhold appropriations necessary at that time to se cure the success of the enterprise.

According to a recent lecture of Prof. Schuster of London the safest course for a human being in a thunderstorm is to get thoroughly wet. Benjamin Franklin remarked that he could kill a rat when dry by means of an electrio discharge, but never when it was wet. It is said that the late Hans von Bulow left directions that a post mortem examination of his brain should be made, to ascertain the cause of the excrutlatlng headache from which he was a life-long suffefer.X The autopsy revealed the facti that, the end of the nerves had become embedded in a scar of an injury to the he had mceived ia childhood.

OMULS m GVffl. I ' ' ' u ’ . - L \ Temporizing. Policy of America and England With China Condemned. > SI, AD TO PAY AN INDEMNITY. — Money Can Be Extorted From the Friends of the Outraged, and Thus They Pay the Enemy With ll» Own Coin—Trnotn Containing Blanphenioun Idea Are Circulated All Over the Empire. Cincinnati, Sept. 5.—A letter from Shanghai. China, dated Aug. 9, written by Rev. E. T. Williams,. for six years pastor of the Central Christian church in this city, and now secretary of the Foreign Mission Society of the Christian church and on a tour around the world visiting missions, has been received here. The salient points of the letter are j that the recent riotous assaults on Euroi peans in China were the results of the temporizing policy of the United States I and England with China. He says the 1 English accept inouey indemnity for outrages which the mandarins are only too glad to pay, as they extort from friends of the outraged, thus accomplishing a double purpose. ' He«ays that within two months riots emptied 20 cities in China of European and American missionaries, and yet the j American minister entrusted the interest of Americans to a junior British consul and to a commission partly composed of Chinese officials implicated in the riots. He says these riots are anti-missionary , instead of anti-foreign; that the goveru- ■ ment blue book against foreigners contains lies so indecent that it would be a violation of laxV anywhere in the United States to repeat them. He writes that tracts containing blasphemous lies aud illustrated with horribly obscene pictures, written by Mandarin Hunen in 1890 and still in circulation, are misleading the ignorant aud inciting riot. No American or I British authority has uttered a word of ! protest against there monstrous lies. He ■ says futhermore that all the riots have i been planned in the yamensaud winked i at and assisted by the officials. On the plea that the officials were un- ' able to prevent riots, he says that it is a more subterfuge, for during'the late war they did protect foreigners, and made it safer for them than ever before, whereas now their journals were urging the Chinese to wipe out the , disgrace of defeat in war by murderous riots on unarmed missionaries. FLOODS IN MEXICO. But Few Bouses Left Standing In the Town of Abosolo. Eagle Pass, Tex., Sept. s;—The town of Abosolo, Mex., 25 miles from Monclavo, was destroyed by a flood Sunday evening.

Deathbed Coufes.io i of One of the Participants In the Robbery. Binghamton, N. ¥., Sept. s.—The body of the merchant prince, A. T_. Stewart, has at last been found. The body had been buried in a grave near here in 1878, One of the ghouls, J. McCarty, a farm-hand who recently died here, told the story on his dying bed. The body was shipped out of New York in a barrel of pickle, labled fish, to a town near Binghamton, whence it was conveyed to the farm, where it was hidden. McCarty, in his confession, said that 10 persons were interested in the stealing of the famous New York merchant’s body from St. Mark’s church yard, 17 years ago. The thieves never dared to deliver up the body, notwithstanding the reward of $50,000 which was offered. It has long been believed that Judge Hilton, executor and legatee of A. T. Stewart, had recovered the body and that it had been placed in a vault in the magnificent cathedral at Garden City, L. 1., which had been built as a tomb by the dead merchant prince. According to the deathbed confession, five of the 10 men are still living. Ueadend Collision.
