DOINGS OF THE DAY.

SUMMARY OF LATE NEWS BY WIRE Eventful Happening* in Every Known Hemisphere—Fires, Accidents. Crimes, Politics, Religion, Commerce and Crops, Sandwiched with Minor Affair*. EXTRA SESSION TALK. The President Earnestly in Favor of a November Call. There was as much discussion as to the probability of an extra session in November as there was of the election, says a Washington telegram. Many seemed to think that whether or not an extra session would be called would depend upon the issue of the voting. The Democrats very generally maintain that if it should appear that the Republicans have lost the House of Represantatlves a special session will be called to meet about two weeks before the time of the December session. They insist that the administration, intends to make an issue of the apportionment bill and of the election bill, and that it will be regarded by the Republicans of the utmost importance to secure two weaks* additional time for legislation before March 4 if they are not to control both houses of Congress after that. KILLED THE BRIDEGROOM. An Uninvited l*ae»t Uses a Stiletto at a Scotch Wedding. Lorenzo Marc Antonio attended uninvited a feast given to celebrate an Italian ■weddingat Glasgow, fc >tlan 1. His intrusion was resented and he was forcibly ejected from the premise;?. Later in the evening Antonio returned, and engaging in a quarrel with the bridgegroom, plunged a stiletto into the latter's side, killing him instantly. The bride swooned, and before the murderer was overpowered another guest was severely wounded, The police have arrested Antonio. The parties to the affair were ice cream venders. CRUSHED TO DEATH. An Engineer Scalded and His Fireman Killed on the Northwestern Road. In a wreck of a passenger train on tlie Northwestern Road at Beloit* Wis., Thomas Welch,' a fireman, was killed by being thrown under the engine, which tippod over. Thomas King, the engineer, ■ was badly scaldedThe engine was broken into a shapeless mass of iron,- and the baggage-car was knocked all out of shape. The passenger coaches were derailed, but no one in them ■was hurt. The accident was occasioned by a switch not being property secured. That many more lives were not lost is a wonder. INDORSE BOOTH’S SCHEME. Contributions in Aid of the Salvationist Plan to Help London's Poor. The scheme proposed by General Booth, cf the Salvation Army, for the relief of the poorer classes continues to be much discussed in London circles. Several members of the royal family have written General Bo>th praising his plans and expressing hope for their success. Similar tokens of approval have been forwarded from people in all walks of life, and contributions are constantly comtnj; in for the fund with which it is proposed to begin the work. St. Petersburg Threatened. St. Petersburg is again suffering from floods caused by storms and winds which pile up the waters of the gulf and river and force them upon the city. The recurrence of this condition of affairs leads many to believe that the situation of the city is growing more perilous and that there is danger of complete submersion at some time of unusual storms and high water. No Compromise Was Macle. At Boston. Mass., Counsel Josiah Beaton. Jr., for the Old Colony Railroad, denies that a compromise has been made whereby $75,000 was to be paid to the Louisville people who were injured in the recent accident at Quincy. He stated, however, that the amounts mentioned in the cases of Jud{*o Edwards and Lucy Johnson were correct. Mr. and Mrs. Scovill to Sue a Newspaper. Mr. Scovill, the tenor, and his wife, who was formerly Miss Roosevelt of New York, will bring an action for llbol against the St. Stephen's Review, of London, for publishing an article in which it was suggested that Mr. Scovill had married Miss Roosevelt for her money and that the marriage was up unhappy one. ' . . . ■ ‘ 4si Made an Independent Post. By a general order issued from the War Department the military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Has , is constituted an independent military post, under the immediate command of the Major-General commanding the army. Critics and Cn’icu ■ Robert Buchanan, like every one else who starts a new review, reckons on making a stir after Christmas with the venture he is hatching. Curiously enough, one of its chief functions is to be to “criticise criticism.” Restored to His Privileges. Alexei Platschejew, the poor but famous Russian poet who was sentenced to death in 1849, partially pardoned by Nicholas, and restored to his privileges by Alexander 11., has just become incredibly wealthy by the death of a kinsman. Won the Prize. Miss Harriet McEwen Kimball, of Portsmouth, N. H., has received the first prize of SIOO for a hymn to be sung on hospital days in the churches and synagogues of New York. Spain Financially Embarrassed. A Madrid dispatch says that the Spanish Government is in very gloomy financial straits, and that the proposed high tariff is Dot so much a measure of protection as to raise revenue. End of a Revolutionist. General Berno s, a Swiss leader in the revolution of 1848, is dead. Shot by His Oyn Gnn Borne time ago thieves entered the store Of Benjamin H. Huber, postmaster at Suiters, Pa., and he arranged a spring gun shoo, them should they return. Next Hunting he was found shot dead in the store.

WANTED MORE BLOOD. A Crowd at a Mexican Bull Fight Thinks tba-Sport Too Dull - > The Mexican Jockey Club held its second autumn meeting in the City of Mexico, and the day was generally observed as a festival. In the Colon ring a bull-fight was given, at which more than 10,000 spectators were present. Postershad announced that the celebrated Guaname bulls would furnish sport, witli Zocato and Ferrar as first and second cspadas. The stock from the first fought badly for the fighters, and while Zccato was attempting to kill the third bull he was caught on Its horns, spun as though lie were a top, and tossed in the air. He fell to the ground and was again gored by the infuriated animal. He was taken fr >m the ring for dead. Later he entered the ring, but was not permitted to fight, and while retiring dropped in a faint. It was found lie had three deep wounds, which, it is believe!, will be fatal. Five more bulls were let in the arena, but none fought well. The spectators became enraged, and fights were started on the sunny side of the arena among the spectators. Pieces of wood were thrown into the ring from this side, which started a general demolition of the plaza. After all the chairs had been pitched into the arena the railings were wrenched off and thrown cn the heads of the police in the alleyway. The bull fighters, fearing they would be mobbed, escaped from the arena, and sought safety in the street-. The police endeavored to quiet the tumult and used their clubs freely, bat their efforts proved futile,, as it was threatened that if they did notdedst they would be hurled into the ring. At the commencement of the disorder women, children, and timid men rushed into the passageways to escape into the street, choking them and causing a partial panic, in which, fortunately, nobody was hurt.

BAD FOR THE SALOONS A Federal Court Decision Sustaining the Original Ba< kage Law. Judge Caldwell of the United States Circuit Court for the Eighth Circuit, sitting at Little Rock, Ark., has rendered an opinion sustaining, the constitutionality of the original package law, and also the constitutionality of the liquor law of lowa. The Excelsior Brewing Company, a corporation of the State of Missouri, shipped from that State to Pella, in the State of lowa, consigned to H. M. Vanvliet, who was its agent at that place, a wooden case containing two dozen quart bottles of beer manufactured by the company in St. Louis. The case containing the bottles of beer was substantially made out of wood and securely fastened with a metallic seal, and constituted an unbroken or original package. The case of beer in its original form, Vanvliet, as agent for the brewery company, sold at Pella. Fcr this sale he was arrested, tried before a Justice of the Peace, convicted, and sentenced to imprisonm nt. He claims his imprisonment is illegal and in violation of the Constitution of the United States. Ex-Chief Justice C. C. Cole, of lowa, applied to the Federal Court for a writ of habeas corpus, and John Y. Stone, Attorney General of lowa, resisted the application. The case was originally Instituted in lowa while Judge Caldwell was there holding court. Recently the same question was passed upon by the United States District Judges at Topeka, Kan., but they did not enter into the constitutionality of the original package act as passed by the last Congress. The effect of Judge Caldwell’s decision will no doubt cause the case to be appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States, but there is little doubt among eminent lawyers that the court will sustain the opinion of Judge Caldwell.

GOOD WEATHER FOB FARMERS. Conditions Favorable for Fall Work on the Farms. The weather crop bulletin for last month says: The month of October has been slightly cooler than usual throughout the district east of the Mississippi, although during the first half of the month the average daily temperature over this region ranged from 3 degrees to 6 degrees above the normal. The month was warmer than usual in the extreme Nori invest and on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains. During the month of October there was more rain than usual throughout the Northern States from the Atlantic coast westward to the Missouri Valley. Excessive Tains occurred generally throughout North I ukota and Montana and over Ihe greater portion of Minnesota. The weather has teen especially favorable for farm • work throughout the winter and spring wheat regions, and the general Increase of moisture throughout these sections has placed the ground in excellent condition, and tlie winter wheat crop generally presents a fine, healthy appearance, with an acreage equal to if not greater than that of the previous year. FIG OCTOBER TRADE. The Volume of Business for the Month Wa* Unprecedented. R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of the trade says: The approach of elections has caused some slackening of trade at many points, which is obviously temporary. At a few cities, notably St, Louis, there is observed reaction from tbe great activity which prevailed just before tlie new tariff went into effect, demand for the time having been satisfied by dealings in anticipation of that measure. 5-itt at nearly all cities trade continues remarkably large, and the payments through all clearing-houses outside New York for the month of October will probably be the largest ever recorded In any month, exceeding those of last October by about 15 per cent-., and those of last May which were $2,037,000,000 and tbe largest ever known, by about 10 per cent. Foreign trade for the month will certainly prove much the largest over known, and the great industries are unusually active. At Chicago receipts of grain fall below last year’s, and hides and wool a third, but cured meats and dressed beef show increase: tlie dry goods and clothing trades surpass last year's, and the shoe trade as well, though lately less active. A FATAL DISH OF OYSTER •. A Chicago Man Dies from the effect* of Ptomaine Poison. Dr. William N. Hibbard died at his residence. 5039 Jeffeison avenue. Chicago. The cause of his death was ptomaine poisoning, of which cases are extremely rare. About a week ago Dr. Hibbard ate at a restaurant some qysters which contained the poisonous substance. The patient died while under the influence of an aniesthetic. Ptomaine poison has only recently become known to science and deaths from it are rare. The name was first suggested in 1875 by Prof. Selmi, an eminent authority, to designate substances obtaino:! from putrefying organic matter. Recent investigations have developed the fact that every animal organism is filled with microbes. These microbes excrete certain particles in process of decay after death. Those excreta are the ptomaines that form the poisonous element in the animal food. These ptomaines are most commonly found in oysters, shell fish, clams, and other sea animals. Almost all the recorded cases of poisoning by ptomaines have been confined to this species of animal food. In 1885 a number

of cases of serious poisoning from ptomaines occurred in Wilhelmshaven in consequence pl eating muscles. ( IT WILL BE A BIG STRIKE. Probability that Ten Thousand MBn Will Leayn Their Work. Ten thousand men, employes of the Frick Coke Qompany, will lay' down their tools, or Andrew Verostic. the discharged Tip Top Coke Works Committeeman, will be reinstated. There is not the slightest .doubt now in anybody’s mind but that the mammoth strike threatened will materialize. The miners obstinately refuse the withdrawal of the notice embracing their demands, while the coke company firmly maintains its position- diametrically opposite to Verostlc’s reinstatement. They contend they are in the right, having irf- their possession affidavits of workingmen showing that their course was fully justified. The miners say they will not do as they have done in the past and ask for a conference, but have agreed to confer if the company makes the proposition. It is definitely understood that, should the workmen strike, the Frick Company will immediately annul the existing wage scale agreement.' In the event of this matters' will be placed in a more awkward position and a satisfactory settlement cannot be looked for. Nothing save a long and bitter strike is anticipated. The Knights of Labor openly declared their intention to carry the strike to every plant in the region should it be necessary to inaugurate the struggle at the Frick plants. CAUGHT IN THE ACT. Baltimore Commission Men Swindling We tern Farmers. John R. Crittenden and William Stoffen, Baltimore commission merchants, have been arrested by detectives, who had been watching them for some time, on charges of obtaining goods under false pretenses. They had been doing business both as individuals and as a firm undgr the name of Crittenden & Co. The men have been considered responsible parties and their arrest has caused surprise in the business community. The charge is that they have been flooding agricultural points in the West with circulars offering big prices for produce, for which, upon being shipped here by unsuspecting farmers, it is charged, they failed to pay. The specific charge on which the indictment is framed is that of Charles Kember, of Serena, 111., in which he alleges that, in reply to a circular soliciting business, he shipped Sept. 30 to Stoffen nineteen tubs of butter, for which he has not been paid. The firm denies the charges. The detectives say that other oommission merchants liable to be mixed up in what appears to have been a big swindle of Western farmers. MRS. HARRISON AT THE HEAD. She Is Interested in the Education of Women. Mrs. Harrison has accepted the Presidency of the Washington Committee, which is earnestly at work endeavoring to secure funds for the endowment of the medical school of the Johns Hopkins University, in order that women may be admitted on equal terms with men. The trustees of the university have extended an invitation to the ladies of the kcal committees in Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Boston and Washington to a lunch and inspection of the hospital. Mrs. Harrison was asked to name the date for this visit and selected Nov. 14. She will be accompanied by the members of the Washington committee, which consists of Mrs. James G. Blaine, Mrs. Levi P. Morton, Mrs. J. Lowrie Bell, Mrs. George Hearst, Mrs. William Windom, Mrs. John McLean, Mrs. John W. Noble and others. ROBBED IHE CHIEF OF POLICE. Daring Raid of a Band of Swindler.* at Montreal. Four swell Italians, representing themselves to be wine merchants, went to Montreal two weeks ago, took up quarters at the Windsor Hotel, and struck up acquaintance with Mr. Seadman, Chief of Police. They wanted him to go in as a partner in a proposed wine business to be started in that city. He asked time to consider, and in the meantime introduced them to his home. He invited them to dine one evening. During the progress of the dinner Mr. Seadman was called out of the house. This was part of the scheme. When he was gone they went thiough several drawers, taking a package containing $4,000. They cleave 1 out with the stealings. The detectives are after them. Killed Three Robber Relatives. As Andres Pock, a farmer, was returning late at night, accompanied by his wife, to his home near Hamburg, Germany, he noticed lights in a front room In his house, and found they were being used by three masked burglars, who were trying to open his safe. Pock drew his revolver, and fired repeatedly through the window, disabling all three of them. He then rushed to the police station, and on bls raturn found one of the men dead and the others fatally wounded. On removing their masks he discovered that the dead burglar was his brother, while the others were his cousins. The Russian Insurrection. The outbreak of the peasantry in Southern Russia originated in the stringent enforcement of the conscription and the cruelties exercised upon the peasants and their elders by the petty officials. The outbreak originated near Zmiev, where the peasants drove the magistrates from the place find began a campaign of murder and arson against the officials and the aristocracy. The first detachment of troops sent against them was forced to retire. Eight regiments have gone to tho scene. Further conflicts are expected. Cannot Become Citizen*. The bill disfranchising any member of the Choctaw Indians, either by blood, adoption, or marriage into the tribe, who has taken or may hereafter take the oath of allegiance to the Government of the United Stales has passed both houses of the Choctaw Legislature and receded the approval of the Governor. It disqualifies such person from holding any office of trust or profit in the Choctaw Nation or to sit as juror in any of its courts and is in dlrec. violation of Sec. 43 of the Oklahoma bill. Oneida Land Allotments. The final dcliveriesof certlficatesof allotment of Oneida lands have been made at Green Bay, Wis., by Special Agent Dana C. Lamb. A council was held at the reservation which was attended by over two hundred Oneldas. Only a few were dissatisfied. Special Agents Lamb and Cooper and Indian Agent Kelsey were present at the council. Miot by the Soldier “ A Berlin paper confirms the report from Warsaw that while u number of persons were leaving Russia, their intention being to emigrate to Brazil, they were fired upon by the Russian frontier guard" at Slupca. The Warsaw report, however, stated that nine persons were killed, while' the paper

says that only four of the party lost their Uvea Leader ol the McCoy* Killed. Bud McCoy, the notorious leader of the McCoy faction in the murderous feud with the Hatfields, was killed in Logan County, West Vl-ginia, by Dempsey, a member of the Hal fl vids, and seveial other members of the gang. There were eighteen bullets in McCoy’s body. The greatest excitement prevails in that regi< n, and It is thought a bitter war will follow this new act of hostil.ty. McCoy had killed at least eight men, but had escaped justice. Follow a Bloody Trade. A society of bravos, calling themselves the “Executors of Works of Revenge," is revealed in Paris. If any one wishes to have an enemy waylaid he need only gc. to the wine shops of La Vlllette, where the bravos haunt, and he can get his work done. They will break a man's head for flve francs, for ten an arm, and for twenty leave him half dead. Will Miller Get It.’ A leading member of the Washington bar, who is au Indiana man and on terms of intimacy with President Hairisou. says it is his opinion the President will almost certainly appoint Attorney General Miller to the vacant Supreme Court Justiceship, and he adds that that is the general opinion among the legal fraternity of Washington. Von Moltke Refuses a I'nkedom. It is now the world’s secret that Von Moltke has refused a dukedom, which the Emperor of Germany not only offered but pressed upon him. The honor would merely have been titular, without enlarging the soldier's sphere for doing good to the Fatherland. Troops to Defonct Settlers, Colonel Merriam, the commandant at Fort Logan. Colorado, has received a dispatch from Washington containing instructions to take steps to prevent an Indian outbreak. Lieutenant Johnson, of the Seventh Infantry; stationed at Fort Logan, has been sent to the front to investigate. Owes Over 8200,000. The ci editors of John H.

Wants to Die in Brazil. It is reported in Paris that Dom Pedro has notified the Government of Brazil that he no longer wishes to be considered as making any claim to tl o crown. He only desires to be permitted to die in Brazil. Wouldn't Man the Ship. Sailors at Cork refused to man a ship on which were cattle belonging to boycotted owners, and the animals were forwarded by rail to avoid a strike, the steamship company paying the charges. Sad Plight of a Grand Duke Grand Duke Nicholas, who became insane during the recent army maneuvers in Volhynla, is now completely paralyzed and in a comatose condition. There is no danger □f a violent crisis. Martin Luther’s Castle. Kronberg Castle, once the residence of Martin Luther, Iris keen purchased by the Empieis Frederick, who will convert it into an institution of charity in memory of her husband. Going to Brazil.

The Democrats will have a ma ority in th® next House of Representatives. Tne majoritw is estimated all the way from forty to seventy—five. The Senate is destined to becontro’led bv Republicans for some years to come. With fortvlour States now iu the Union there will f>e-eighty-eight Senators, dividid in three classes as their terms expire. The not yet elected Senators of Idaho and Wyoming will, on their appearance in the Senate, draw lots for the classification of their terms. Their presence will aid lour to the Republican side. Without them, there arr thirty-one Republican Senator* holding over beyond March 4.-H9l, and twerty-fire-Democratic Senators holding over. The Republicans ther j'o e have six in the lead of holdover Senators, and the four to be added for Idaho and Wyoming will make ten. Should' either of the terms of the Senators of these* new States fall into the list of 1891 it would make no difference to the Republican party in the Senate They start with ten ahead. Of Republican Senators -whose terms expire in March, 18 >l. Messrs. Allison of lowa and Moi rill of Vermont have been re-elected, and of Democratic Senators Messrs. Plackburn of Kentucky andUilson of Maryland have hern lo clected. Calvin 8. Brice, Democrat, has been elected by tbe Ohio Legislature to succeed Henry B. Payne. Elections have been made in Alabama, Arkansas. Georgia, and Oregon of legislatures that have United States Senators to elect for the new term, anl the political status is not changed. This leaves to be announced by the election returns the following States having United States Senators to elect, the States and the outgoing Senator being named: DEMOCRATS. Florida Wilkinson Call. Indiana Daniel W. Voorhees. -Louisiana James B. Eustis. Missouri George G. Vest. North Carolina Zebulon B. Vance. South Carolina. Wade Hampton. REPUBLICANS. California Leland Stanford.

The enlarged House—enlarged bv the admission of South Dakota, North Dakota. Montana, Washington, Idaho, and Wyoming—will consist of 332 members in the Fifty-second Con—gress. In the Close States. The vote polled iu Nebraska was the heaviest . in the history of the State, but in spite of this fact the election was very quiet. In Omaha and' many other cities all the wholesale and retail stores and manufactories closed for the day in order to give the employes a full opportunity to - vote. Returns from over the State are too scarce tobear positive assertion, but indicate the election of Boyd (Dem.) for Governor, the choice of three ■ Democratic Congressmen, aud defeat of prohibition. The majority against the latter will be • 17.000 to 20,000. A comparatively light vote was cast in Minnesota, and the returns come in slowly. TheDemocrats have made sweeping gains in every direction. The Republicans claim the election . of Merriam for Governor, but concede the election of Lindholm, Democrat, for Secretary of" State, and Bierrman. Democrat, for Auditor. The Democrats claim their entire ticket, but it cannot be said just what the result will be. It is very close, and the country districts will decide. St. Paul and Minneapolis both give Democratic majorities, nnd show ponderous Democratic gains. TheDemocrats hava certainly carried the First, Third, and Fourth Congressional Districts, electing Harris, Hall, and t a ,tD. The Second' is probably carried by Lind, Republican, and. the Fifth is In doubt, with tbe chance* favoring Whiteman. Democrat. The Legislaturewill be Repub’iran on joint ballot bw a. reduced majority, and the Senate now looks like a tie. Minnesota has never before chosen a. Democratic State official.
