THE NEWS.

Intelligence Gathered In by Wire from Every Quarter of the Nation. Also a Few News Sandwiches from Lands Beyond the Broad Ocean. THE VERY LATEST BY TELEGRAPH. COUNTING THE DEAD. One Hundred and Forty Fatalities Hesult from Sunstroke at Chicago in Three Days. A complete census of the mortality in Chicago caused by the lately existing hot weather will probably never be made, says a dispatch from that city. The full story of the suffering entailed by it can never be told. It is doubtful if the citizens realize yet what a calamity it was, and how dreadful its results. A glance, however, at the books of the Coroner’s office, with their long list of entries, each one telling of a suddoa death, and a look into the morgue, where bodies lie piled like cordwooJ, waiting until official action will permit their burial, bear witness to the of the heat plague. With a few exceptions it has been possible to gather tho list of those whose death is directly attributable to sunstroke, but the number of those attacked, and wh< more or lass narrowly escaped dissolution, cannot ba known. How many there wera who died, and whose death was attributed to other causes than sunstroke, but who would tprobably have recovered from their then existing ailment) had it not been for the prostration caused by the intense heat, will always remain a conundrum. Hut putting aside ail these questious the single list of those whosa death is attributed solely to heat is a sufficiently awful Tecord. Tho following table shows the cases of sunstroke reported up to Monday morning, and occurring on the three previous days: Dead.. 141 Dying 22 Recovered... ‘27 Will recover 9 Total .....199 Never before in the history of Chicago has there been so much work for the Coroner—not excepting the time of the great fire or any of the few epidemics with which the city, has been visited.

Information' com b from Ouualanka, Alaska, that Archbishop Segliers, a Catho'ic missionary, was murdered at night m November last, on the banks of the Yukon, about five hundred miles from its mouth, and fully sixty miles from any human habitation, by Frank Fuller, a young man from Portland, Oregon, who accompanied the Bishop as a companion and servant Fuller gave himself up. No cause for the deed is given. The murderer is now iu Sitka, where he will be tried. The Bishop was formerly of Baltimore, Md., and prior to being named Bishop of Alaska was Archbishop of Oregon and Washington Territory.

A St. John’s (N. F.) telegram says: “There is trouble brewing between the French and Newfoundland fishermen. The commander of the French war ship Drac has driven Newfoundland fishermen away from certain portions of the coast at the point of the bayonet The French are encroaching upon fishinggrounds hitherto exclusively used by English fishermen.” Alinor Telegrams. It is stated that plans for the organization of womon an l girls in trade unions are being quiotly perfected at Boston, which city expects to be pioneer in a movement that, it is hoped, will spread to other cities. A Columbia (S. C.) special says: “Oxey Cherry, an 11-year-old colored girl of Barnwell, has been convicted of the murder of her little white charge, and was sentenced, to be hanged in September. The young criminal -was hired out by her parents to nurse a white baby. Tho work was distasteful to her and she administered a dose of concentrated lye.” At Nelson, Neb., a farmer named Conrad was taken from jail and lynched by a moh, Conrad had been arrested for the murder and robbery of r-othr • farmer named Henry £Ulen.

WEEKLY BUDGET.

THE EASTERN STATES. A Utica (N. Y.) telegram says that an accident happened to the President’s train, Saturday night, while returning from Clayton to Alder Creek. The train was brought to a stop before the President's party became aware that there was any accident The engineer had his hand on the whistle to blow for Stile Crossing, when tho connecting bar to the forward driver on the right-hand side of the engine broke, and the huge piece of steel revolved with terrible velocity, tearing out one side of the cab and ripping up the ties and the ground as the engine rushed along. A huge futcture was made in the boiler, and the steam escaped in volumes. The President, when informed of tho affair, said he thought there was something serious the matter when he saw the clouds of steam. Reilly, the engineer, who had saved his fireman by forcing him on top of the cab, was found lying alongside his engine dead. After instructions were given to care for the dead engineer, the President’s car was attached to the express train, which bad come up by this time, and was taken to Alder Creek. Extensive forest fires are raging in the lumber regions of Pennsylvania, in the vicinity of Brockwayville. Five persons were killed at Pittsburgh, Pa, by kindling fires with kerosene. The Metropolitan Storage Warehouse was destroyed by fire in New York, and a number of firemen were seriously injured. St Joseph's Orphan Asylum also took fire, and several hundred children narrowly escaped being burned to death.

THE WESTERN STATES.

A decree has been entered by Judge Sage at Cincinnati declaring the charter of the wrecked Fidelity'Bank forfeited. This dissolves all attachments and puts the entire assets in the hands of Receiver Armstrong. The Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul Road has commenced suit against the Chicago, St Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Company to recover land and benefits valued at $25,000,000. ' : ’ The town of Nogales, Arizona, was badly damaged by a cloud-burst In Sonora, Mexico, a few miles distant, a number of houses were washed away and One child drowned. The case of Chris Von der Ahe, President of the St. Louis Base Ball Club, charged with violating the Sunday law by starting a game of base-tall on Sunday, was called in the Court of Criminal Correction in St Louis on Saturday. The courtroom was filled, and much interest was manifested. Judge Noonan discharged the defendant after hearing the evidence. He said that the Missouri Supremo Court, in its decisions on violations of the Sunday law, had not prohibited, either expressly or constructively, base-ball, if carried on decently, orderly, and quietly. In conclusion, he said: “I might say in addition to this that the game was a reasonable sport and the use of nature’s powers; and, while the evidence showed that monov was taken and money paid to the players, it, in my mind, is not within the meaning of this statute any more than would be the paying of any piano-player or singer that might come into the homo of a citizen on Sunday to contribute to his entertainment.” Mayor Francis, of St Louis, has appointed a committee composed of many prominent citizens to invite President Cleveland to visit that city during the fall festivities. A fiendish plot, which might have resulted in great log's of life, was frustrated by a timely discovery near Albany, Wis. While the track-layers of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul Itoad were coming along the line near that place they discovered several wires connected with a battery in a field near by, in which was found 48 J pounds of dynamite. Who planted it there, and for what purpose, is unknown. The steamer City of Mackinaw ran over a row-boat near Detroit, and Christopher Nicolas and Jacob Bobler, with their wives, wore drowned. A fire at Coldwater, Mich., destroyed property to the value of $26,000. Fort Wayne, Ind., had a $30,000 fire; Mantono, 111, a $87,000 fire, and Fond du Lac, Wis., had a big blaze.

TEE SOUTHERN STATES.

A Nashville dispatch says a most remarkable occurrence followed a negro funeral at Mount Pleasant, Tenn., nine negroes being killed by a single stroke of lightning. A large party followed the remains of Harriet Terry to the grave, singing and shouting. The usual ceremonies at the grave were performed, and just as tho final prayer had been said an ominous cloud came up from the east, Tho party had scarcely left the grave when one of tho most severe thunder and ram storms ever known to that section burst on thenn All immediately made a break for the various trees scattered around the graveyard. Scarcely had those who were killed reached the shelter of an immense oak when the tree was struck by lightning. The whole party of nine tumb'ed down together and died instantly. Three others who were sheltered under a tree saw the party killed, but were themselves uninjured. It was noticed that the part of each body nearest the tree was scarred and their clothes torn. The most intense excitement prevailed, and the wailing and mourning of the frightened negroes was heartrending. The production of Dig-iron in the South this year will fall below the output of last year.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

President Cleveland, Mrs. Cleveland, and CoL Lamont loft Washington on the 11th inst. for Holland Patent, N. Y. The most sensational murder in Washington since the assassination of President Garfield was committed on Wednesday evening, says a dispatch from that city. Opposite the northeastern end of 1 the Treasury Department Building, Joseph C. Kennedy, an attorney and real estate agent, one of the oldest residents of Washington, and a personal acquaintance of many of the moat prominent people in the national capital, was murdered in cold blood, apparently without provocation, by John Daily, a white laborer. Kennedy left his office and started

to take a car, when Daily, who bad been loitering around the corner several boors, walked np behind him and drawing a large keenbladed knife, similar to those used by batchers in killing hogs, ran it into Kennedy’s right side near the abdomen with a vicious lunge, and then gave it a jerk sidewise. There was a large crowd on the corner at the time, but all were so horror-stricken for a moment that nobody moved. Kennedy fell to the ground after giving a cry of “ murder,” groaned deeply, and pointed to the murderer, who made no attempt to escape. The knife dropped out of Kennedy’s side as a physician came up. Mason, a colored watchman, seized Daily, who stood looking on, apparently the most unconcerned and self-possessed man in the crowd. Kennedy expired in five minutes, and his body was removed to a police station. The murdered man was about 75 years old, of an old Maryland family, and one of the most respected citizens of Washington. He was a grandson of Fllicott, who, at the request of President Washington, surveyed the ten miles square incorporated as tho District of Columbia. In 1850 and 1860 Mr. Kennedy was Commissioner of the Census. He was a prominent politician in his earlier days, and an ardent adherent of the old Whig party. At one time he edited the Franklin (Pa.) 7»tteUigeneer. He was an intimate friend of exHonator Conkling, Attorney General Garland, W. W. Corcoran, and a large number of other people. The assassin claims that years ago Kennedy wronged his (Daily’s) fattajtf. The Washington police say cranks now in Washington than 'ak’l&y other •time. A decision has just been rendered in the case of James Young, a homestead entry man of Balt Lake City, which confirms the position of the Land Department that cultivation and improvements and the showing of good faith in other respect i can not compensate for lack of actual residence upon the land sought to be procured.

THE POLITICAL FIELD.

A dispatch from Huron, Dakota, says the, Division and Admission Convention, which has just adlonmed,- “was remarkably unani- • mous upon division, Republicans and Democrats alike being enthusiastic. It is certain tli at the demand is being pushed more vigorously than ever before.” Messrs. Mellette, McDonald, Plummer, McCord and Kanousa were chosen to confer with North Dakota. The following is a synopsis of the resolutions adopted:. We'are unalterably opposed to admission as a'Amole. We declare for division on the seventh standard parallel. The convention affirms the right of the people about to be admitted to the Union to designate their State boundaries, subject to modification by Congress with their consent. All considerations nnite in dictating a division in accordance with a plan to be submitted to the people in November, 1887. We protest agatnat.the tyranny of Congress in refusing admission, and appeal to the people of the Union for Support. We approve the efforts of Senator Dawes and others to secure the opening of the Sioux Reservation, and ask the President and Secretary of the Interior to recoinmond to' the Fiftieth Congress the passage of the measure providing for the opening for settlement of the reservation. The Prohibition State Convention at Des Mcines, lowa, Thursday, was composed of eighteen delegates. A full ticket was nominated, V. G. Farnham, of Plymouth Connty, being chosen for Governor. The platform declares for separate political action in dealing with the liquor traffic; advocates more stringent amendments in the present prohibitive law; demands & reduction of passenger rates to two cents a mile; approves woman suffrage; and favors the establishment of postal savings banks. Judge Thurman has written that he is firmly resolved not to accept the Democratic nomination for Governor of Ohio, and asking his friends to prevent his name being presented to the convention. At a Democratic Senatorial convention at New Comerstown resolutions were adopted indorsing President Cleveland, and Mr. Thurman for Governor.

THE INDUSTRIAL REALM.

T. V. Powdebly prints the following in the Journal of'United Labor, issued last Saturday, in reference to the assertions in a number of newspaper that the organization of the Knights of Labor was breaking up: We are breaking up as the plowman breaks up the soil for the sowing of new seed; we are breaking up old traditions ; we are breaking up hereditary rights and planting everywhere the seed of universal rights; we are breaking up the idea that money makes the man, and not moral worth ; we are breaking up the idea that might makes right; we are breaking up ths idea that legislation is alone for tne rich; wo are breaking up the idea that the Congress of the United (states must be run by millionaires for the benefit of millionaires ; we are breaking up the idea thut a few men may hold millions of acres of uniilied land while other men starve for want of one acre; we are breaking up the practice of putting the labor of criminals into competition with honest labor and starving it to death; we are brooking up the practice of importing ignorances bred of monarchy and dynamite iu order to depreciate intelligent, skilled labor at home ; we are breaking up the practice of employing little children in factories, thus breeding a race deformed, ignorant, and profligate; we are breaking up the idea that a man who works with his hands has need neither of education nor of civilizing refinements ; we are breaking up the idea that the accident of sex puts one-half of the human race beyond tne pale of constitutional rights; we are breaking up the practice of paying women one-third the wages paid men, aim ply because they are women ; we are breaking up the idea that a man may debauch nn innocent girl and shield himself from tne penalty behind the law he himself has made; we are breaking up ignorance, intemperance, crime, and oppression, of whatever character and wherever found. Yes, the Knights of Labor are breaking up, and they will continue their appointed work of breaking up until universal rights shall prevail; anl while they may not br ng in tho millennium, they do their part in the evolution of moral forces that arc working for the emancipation of the rac'i

THE FOREIGN BUDGET.

Froude's “Carlyle” has been translated into German. The Pope is suff 3ring from stomachic affection and neuralgia. A British Lieutenant has been sentenced to eight months’ imprisonment for abducting a 17-year-old girl. The Sultan, disregarding the advice of Italy and Germany, persists in his refusal to sign the Egyptian convention in its present form. The British Government has positively refused to make any modifications in the treaty, and the Sultan’s attitude, in which he is sustained by France and Russia, makes a very embarrassing situation for Lord Salisbury. Justice O’Brien, in addressing tho County

Kerry Grand Jury, admitted there was a decrease of crime in that section of Ireland, bat the ciuse was the complete subjugation of the peaceable members of the community to a lawless organization. Fried erich Krupp, the well-known German metal founder, is dead. Herr Krupp was born at Essen in 1812, and has been all bis life identified with the celebrated Essen manufactory established by his father in 1827, which has grown from a limited establishment to its present colossal proportions under Friederich’s supervision. In 1864 the King of Prussia offered him letters of nobility, which he declined to accept.

THE CONTINENT AT LARGE.

In an interview with a New York Herald correspondent, King Kalakaua declared that he would not sign the new Hawaiian Constitution unless compelled to An excursion train on the London and Port Stanley Railway was run into at St. Thomas, Ont, by a Canada Southern freight train. The wreck took fire, and probably a dozen persons were burned to death and many others injured. The loss to property was great. ASt Thomas dispatch gives the following particulars of the horror: The freight train was made up of a number of cars laden with oil. The enginte crashed into one of those cars, when the oil instantly took fire and burned with great fierceness, communicating to the cars on both trains and extending to Griffin's warehouse, coal and lime sheds, adjoining the track on the west, and John Campbell’s dwelling on the east, all of which were burned to the ground with their contents. Engineer Donnelly of the excursion train was buried in the 'wreck. His fireman jumped and escaped with slight injuries. The forward car of the excursion train was SRod with passengers, who made frantic efforts- to escape, but notwithstanding hundreds of brave and willing hands were" immediately at work to assist in their rescue a number of lives were lost; how many is not yet known. At 8 o'clock, when thousands of people were crowding fcround the bunting pile, one of the oil tanks on the cars suddenly exploded, throwing hundreds to the ground with great force and scattering fire in all directions, and severely, perhaps fatally, injuring many. Already nine bodies have been taken out. They were "burned to a crisp. The National Educational Association, at Chicago, at their third and last day’s session, discussed “The Place Manual Training Should Occupy in a System of Public Schools” and “What Can Be Done by Educators to Enlighten and Arouse the Peoplo and Excite Public Sentiment in Favor of Fducation?” A number of thoughtful papers were read on both topics. The resolutions adopted recommend various measures to the State Legislatures- and Congress in the interest of popular education, declare that there’s “an urgent necessity for temporary Federal aid in the education of the illiterate massgjtyof the South,” “commend the National Bureau of Education as an agency of increasing value and worthy of more liberal support,” and specify different methods by which the efficacy of our school system can be increased. A Chicago dispatch of Monday says: “Mr. Palmer’s superb dramatic organization are still delighting Chicago theater-goers with their fine representations at McVicker’s Theater, and, considering the torrid weather, are meeting with excellent success. This week they give us a revival of ‘Onr Society,’ with that delightful little actress, Miss Annie Russell, intheroleof ‘Sylvia.’” The Signal Service weather and crop bulletin for Ihe week ending July 16 estimates that corn has sustained some injury by reason of the protracted drought and excessive heat A Chicago dispatch says that Saturday and Sunday last were by all odds the two hottest days in the history of that city. The temperature rose to 102, and hundreds of people were prostrated by the intense heat In the country towns south and west of Chicago the heat was even more fearfuL At Beloit the thermometer is reported to have stood at 107, while at Streator, IIL, it reached 108. The whole country east of the Mississippi and south of the lake 3 suffered from the extreme heat, the thermometer throughout the entire region registering from 90 degrees to 108 degrees. Fourteen Joliet convicts were prostrated by the neat, and two of them died. Fatal sonstrokes were numerous in the cities and towns of the Mississippi valley. 8k Louis and Cincinnati had a large number of fatalities.

THE OLD MAN’S DOOM.

Jacob Sharp, Chief Boodler, Sentenced to Four Years' Hard . Labor in Sing Sing. A Fine of $5,000 Also Imposed on Him—The Remarks of the Judge. {New York special.! Jacob Sharp, chief of the New York “boodlers,” has been sentenced to Sing Sing for a term of four years with hard labor,, and a fine of $-5,000 was imposed upon him. The clock was indicating almost noon, when Sharp was almost carried into the court-room. His suffering wife and son-in-law were close behind him, and deep lines of weariness* and sorrow overspread, their faces as they seated themselves beside the convicted man and fanned his livid face without bringing anything like a semblance of color back to it. Shaip sat with clasped hands and bowed head at the foot of the table, facing the bench. His fuce, almos: buried in his chest, was flushed and sickly looking under the riveted gaze of all present, who were sileDtly s'aring at the convicted railroad kiDg. Mrs. Sharp and the jest of the family* like the prisoner himself, were silent. There was applause in the court-room when Judge Barrett delivered the sentence* and outside the announcement was greeted with cheers. Sharp’s lawyer moved for a new trial* but it was denied. The Court, in pronouncing sentence, said the task he had to perform was the most delicate in his whole (irofessional career. He had received many etters from many people, pleading for mercy for Sharp. But a court was not appointed to be merciful any more than was dictated by the laws of justice. “A judge is appointed to award penalty accord ng to the offense, when all the circumstances connected with the commission of the offense have been duly weighed and considered. The defendant herein asking for mercy can give nothing as a plea for clemency but age and sickness. On the merits of the case he certiinly is entitled to none. It is absurd to state that he was not guilty of giving the brihes, as he was unmistakably the leader of the whole affair. There is not here, as in the case of the aldermen, any attempt to prove the defendant’s good character. The crime itself was an enormous one—the raising of $500,009 to corrupt half a legislature.” Judge Barrett reviewed the corrupt action of the defendant in forming a bogus company to contract with the Seventh Avenue Railway, of which he is a director* and alluded to the defendant’s receiving $1,000,000 of profit as sheer larceny, for which he could have been indicted just as well as for bribery. The Judge continued: “What is there to excite pity or mercy except the age and ill-health of the prisoner and the mourning condition of his family? With over $1,000,000 in his pocket he clamors for mercy without offering to pay back a penny of the money stolen, so that, should he die in prison, his family has a vast fortune to fall back upon.” At t: is Mrs. Sharp buried her face in her handkerchief and wept silently, while the prisoner himself did not lift his face from the table. “The Legislature does not allow us to go below the minimum penalty in such a grave offense as the present is,” continued Judge Barrett. “All cannot lie sat sfied; those who clamor for the prisoner’s receiving the full penalty of the law and those calling for a reprimand. All things have been considered, and the judgment of this court is that the prisoner be confined four years at hard labor and that he pay a fine of $5,000.” Sharp was sent back to spend the night in Ludlow Street Jail. Application was made to Judge Potter, of the Supreme Court, for a Btay of proceedings.

DR. M’GLYNN DEFIANT.

The Excommunicated Priest Still Insists that He Has Been Treated Wrongfully. [New York telegram.] Dr. McGlvnn’s first reply to the notice of his excommunication appears in this week’s Standard. There is a manifest effort throughout what he says to jiytify his course from the beginning. He gives tothe public, for the first time, his final summons to Rome, which was sent him in Mavp denounces the way in which he was addressed in it by the Cardinal Prefect of the Propaganda, but attributes that prelate’s feeling toward him to the “one-sided and numeious letters sent toRome against the Doctor by Archbishop Corrigan.” He also attempts to prove that which he and his friends have again and again asserted, that his case was prejudged at Home, and that he was cal.ed there tobe disciplined rather than for trial, as Hgr. Preston declared. Speaking of hi& having partaken of the holy communion last Sunday, Dr. McGlynn says he did so because he holds that he has not been legally excommunicated; that he would not enter any church and raisea disturbance in order to partake of the holy eucharist; that he would receive it lrom any friendly priest who believes as he does. A paper called Truth publishes the statement that Dr. McGlynn has consulted three eminent jurists with a view totesting h s case in the courts on a plea (hat the authorities have boycotted him and are guilty, moreover, of defamation of character and libel. If this position is legally tenable, Truth asserts, Archbishop Corrigan can bo indicted. The Formal Notification of Excommunication. The formal notification of his excommunication by name was received by Dr. McGlynn on Thursday. It was contained, in a registered letter, which had been detained at the Brooklyn postoffice sinceJuly 5. It reads as follows: Rev. Edward McGlynn, 1). D.: Reverend Doctob— ln accordance with the instructions of the Holy See, it is my painful, duty to notify you that the term of forty days from the date of delivery to vou of the monitorium of May 4 from the Cardinal Prefect of the Propaganda, within which you were required, UDder pain of excommunication, to be incurred ipso facto and nom—inatim, to appear at Rome before the Sacred Congregation of the Propaganda, has elapsed, and to delare that, as you have failed to appearbefore the Sacred College of the Propaganda within the time specified, you have incurred by your act of contumacy the said penalty of excommunication nominatim, I am, reverend sir ( sorrowfully yours. M. A. Cobrigan, [Seal..] i Archbishop o* N»— York,
