Ivoxoos, 8eptomber9 —{Special.]—The lord mayor of London, Bishop Temple anil Carxliaal Manning have written a joint letter in which they recount the negotiations conducted by them with the dock companies with a view to the settlement of the strike. They express surprise at the strikers' repudiation of the terms agreed to by the dock companies and declare their opinion that if the men continue the strike they will forfeit the sympathy hitherto accorded them. The strikers held another large meeting in Hyde park yesterday. Bums declared it was a mistake to suppose that he had agreed to the proposal of the arbitrator*. He invited the strikers to declare whether or not they would accept the proposal. A loud shout of "No" went np from the crowd. Mr. Burns, continuing, said the strike committee were prepared to hold out for three week# more, but he believed the directors of the dock companies would concede the ntrikere' terras before another week had passed.

A number of companies in addition to those that have already yielded to-day announced their willingness to grant the demands of the strikers. Cardinal Man ning held a conference to-day with the leaders of the strike. Subscriptions amounting to over one thousand pounds were added to-day to the fund of the striking workmen.

Negotiation* for the termination of the strike continued. The only question is on the date when the new terms shall go into effect. A conference was held to day. The !-ord Mayor presided. Burns and Tielari were present. The meeting adjourned until to-morrow. In the meantime the

THE

OVNMMP

QROUMO WHERE THAT CITY

STANDS.

CIXCI.VXATI, Septemljer 7.—[Special.]— Some fifty-three yeans ago Benjamin Talbott, a colored man, left Yellow Springs, Kv., with 'Squire McBane and his family, as they had planned to make a settlement at some point in Indiana. The country at that time was a wild wilderness, and the entire journey was made in a covered wagon. It took them several weeks to reach the place, where they finally bought land at a government sale and built their log cabins on the identical spot where the flourishing city of Logansport is now situated. Talbott was 'bound out" by his master until he was Of age, and during that period he learned the trade of a blacksmith. In the course of a few years Talbott had secured possession of some 600 acres of land, which at that time was covered with dense woods. He reared a family of seven children and occupied the land for more than twenty years. In 1857 the fugitive slave law was passed, and fearing that he might be taken back again into bondage he left his worldly possessions and fled with his family into Canada, as did many other colored people who were at the time in northern states. He remained across the border until the Emancipation Proclamation afforded him an opportunity to return unmolested to the states. He was still afraid to venture back to his home in Indiada, and for several years he was located at Detroit, but later removed to Toledo, where he died some seventeen years ago. His 'family, which had been reduced to six children (four 1KVK and two girls), soon became separated, but two of the sons located at Rochester, Ind. Meml)ers of his family have discovered these facte and are now contemplating bringing suit for the recovery of the property, involving millions.-"'

COUTMBIA, S. C., September 9.—[Special.)—A novel industry has recently started in theCambaheo river in the lower part of this state on the Rice plantar tion. A man, named K. C. Brown, starts out in his boat alioiit dusk every night with his gun, ammunition and a big iron hook. When it is quite dark lie lights a bulls-eye lantern and ties it to his forehead. Thig enables him to see alligators a distance of 1*0 yards, lying on the beam. The light, besides, attracts tlie saurians, so that Brown is enabled to come within very close range lefore shooting them. He Is a good shot and never misses one. lie then witches them with his hoot and puts them into the boat. He shools on an average about ten alligators every night. After his hunt Brown takes his game to his tent ami the skins are taken ofl'and packed with salt in barrels. The tail is sold to negroes, who prize it very highly. The skins are shipped to a firm in Jacksonville, J'la.

aliout SO everv night and sometimes more. He says he realized over $:i,r00 hist year in this business. He buries the head of every alligator he kills and in a few months the teeth fall out or will come out with little trouble, and these also command a good price. The meat of alligator is used to feed hogs.

LONGEVITY OF MAN.

How LONQ WE SHOULD LIVE—VIOLATION QP LAWS op HEAUTH.

Pr. I. W. Bmnnan, of Washington, has just published an interesting volume ou the length of life enjoyed by residents of tltis country. The statistics are taken from the returns of a leading life insurance company and are probably reliable. They show* that on the average natives are louger lived than for-eign-bom residents that Irishmen settled in this country generally live longer than Englishmen, Englishmen than Germans, Germans than Canadians. The most fatal disease is consumption, which apjeare to be growing more severe as the distance from the equator is increased and next to this liver disease is a fruitful source of mortality, especially among Southerners and foreign immigrants. The longest lived people appear to le merchants next to those farmers, next, to those professional men. It is noted as a curious fact ihat persons who haw to deal with alcoholic liquor, as liquordealen*, hot el keepers, barroom keeper# and brewers, rarely die of consumption, but are verv liable to be taken off by liver disease, the chief victims of consumption are clerks and persons engaged in sedentary occupations. The largest number of suicioes occur among the Germans and the smallest number among natnc A oiericans.—San Knuv.'iseo Call

JOHN REALLY MEANS IT.

WASHINGTON, September 0.—Boston Democrats who are in Washington say the announced candidacy for Congress of John L. Sullivan may not prove a laughing matter. Sullivan is located in what is known as "Pat Colliu's district." It has a reliable Democratic majority of 7,000, and is controlled by Irish voters. Those who know the district will say that Sullivan would only keep sober, escape the Mississippi penitentiary and cultivate popularity he might capture the nomination next year. The novelty ol having the champion prise-fighter of the world occupy a seat in the House would undoubtedly give *est to the campaign and an advantage to tlie champion.

Del., September 9.—[Spe

Jankdvski, was shot in the heart and instantly killed by some one of the Irish rioters, and an Irishman named Owen Kavanaugli was stabbed in ten or eleven places by an unknown Hungarian. Kavanaugh will recover. The rioting was the outcome of bad feeling that had existed between the different nationalities ever since the entrance of Poles and Slavacks into the mills, nearly two years ago. Thirty-three of the Slavacks have been arrested, and warrants will be issued for the Irish participants who, in a preliminary hearing before Mayor Hanson this afternoon, allowed they were the a, gressors. The evidence thus far indicates that Jankovski was trying to escape from several intoxicated Irish rioters, when one of the latter fired a shotgun, the load passing through his heart, live Irishmen, two Hungarian men and a Hungarian woman also received wounds from gunshot and missiles in the melee.

WITH THE

I^NINO BY

CANADIAN, WIN-

Two LENGTHS.

LONDON, September 9.—[Special.]—Interest in the Searle-O'Connor boat race was purely professional. The banks of the river were not inconveniently thronged. Hie result was a foregone conclusion. O'Connor was overmatched from the beginning. He did not get the best of the start as has been usually his case. Searle took the lead and steadily increased it, crossing the line an easy winner. O'Connor could not get near him after the first mile and a half. Passing under Hammersonith bridge he spurted but it was no use. The Australian was two lengths ahead and for the rest of the course it was a hopeless stern chase for Canadian. Betting was, heavy at odds and Canadians with local pride, staked largely and lost accordingly.

The Americans of the United States took little interest in the race. There did not regard it as an American event as did the Englishmen. Searle received an ovation ana O'Connor was roundly cheered for his pluck. It is estimated 20,000 pounds changed hands.

Searles—Time, 22:42. Correct winning distance to six lengths.

I ST. JOHN ATTACKS PROTECTION. St. John in his speech at Brazil oil Friday "talked politics" to the miners. The burden of the speech was an attack upon the tariff. Protection, he said, protects the capitalist at the expense of the laborer. "The millionaire coal operators," said he to the miners, "who have kept you on starvation wages for two years past and who are now striking to starve .yoti into an unprecedented reduction,

e/ and the Republican politicians who wanted your votes promised you high wages and plenty of work. How has it been? It has been the same with you as with your starved and subjected brethren in Illinois who have accepted 7J cents reduction in lieu of absolute starvation. Two thousand of you are locked out and (,000 of you, including your wives and little ones, are praying for daily bread to keep from starving in vour fight against slave wages. This is what Republican protection lias done for you, ana while you are starving you pay as much for the necessities of life as the millionaire task-masters who get all the benefit from protection that there is in it. Thirteen men are doing more to overthrow this Republic than all the anarchists that can possibly assemble here."

THE STATE NORMAL.

Much has been said of the unique loveliness of the new Normal school building as a whole, but no description of the various rooms has appeared. It would scarcely be entertaining to the reader anyhow—such an account but, the main assembly hall is worthy of particular mention. Its towering ceiling is beautifully ornamented, and stretching away in front of the stage in all its stately spaciousness the hall is magnificent to gaze upon. The young orator, mounted above Ills audience and viewing so grand a spectacle, will not lack for inspiratory environments.

The term at this school does not open until one week from to-morrow. The training school opened on the lower floor of the building this morning and the attendance was unusually large for the first day.
