THE CABLE LETTER.

The Tories Not Yet Beady for tbe Cam-paign-A Fierce Campaign in Pros pect.

LONDON, October 3.—The tories are not yet ready to begin the campaign for su premacy in the next parliament. They have therefore decided to postpone dissolution until the 7th of December. The .reason given to the public for this action in that the difficulties growing out of the «nermous registration under the enlargement of the franchise requires extended time for adjudication and adjustment. The campaign, when it does open, will be the fiercest and most thoroughly contested ever fought in Great Britain. Every voter in the country will probably be reached and interested. Those now posseseing the franchise are badly enough muddled,, for the Churchill tories are courting the Irish ihome rnle vote, while the radicals are clamoring for the maintenance of the empire's integrity. The two millions of men enfranchised by Mr. Gladstone, as a rule, belong to a class much inferior in intelligence to any that have ever hertofore Irad a voice in British affairs. They have never as a rule had any interest in public questions and never had occasion to learn anything at all about politics. When the United States •enfranchised the black freedmen hardly S,000,000 voters were added to the list. When they began to vote they were influenced by a sentiment which was practically unanimous among them and wnich was at the time at least intelligent, viz: "Gratitude." But England Has BO suddenly added nearly three times as many voters to her suffrage list and the addition certainly •contains a large mass of ignorance. While gratitude to the liberal party for the fran•chise may swing many of these new •voters it would be folly to calculate upon it as a feeling which will prevail with any large portion of them. Practically the whole number have no decided political leaning so. They will be liberal or tory .according to the influence brought JJto bear upon them. The result of the coming election is stupendous upon the destiny of England. It may decide whether lie English trade policy shall be free or protective whether the church or stale shall be divorced or remain united •whether unification or disintegation of the empire shall ensue whether Great Britain .shail continue to interfere in foreign :affairs, and remain among the first powers, xx hold aloof and fall back into the second rank. It may decide even whether aristocracy in England shall continue, "1 and whether the throne shall remain. are «»w live questions, and it does appear to be an extraordinary thing that the parliament which may be called .upon to settle some, ii not all, of these mo•mentous issues will take its temper from chance way in which a majority of 2,000,000 of new and uneducated may cast their first ballots. For at is fair to assume that before the close

DOUBLE SUICIDE.

A ThrillingJy Romantic Love Affair and Tragedy In Central Park, N. Y.

NEW YORK, October 3.—At 8:30o'clock this evening Policeman of the Central park police for sd duty near Seventy-second street, teard a pistol shot. A second and third in quick succession gave him the direction, and hurrying through the shrubbery in the darkness he found himself close by the statue of the "Pilgrim," on the east side, when he heard another shot, then several deep groans and all was still. Alight was struck, and this was what the officer Faw: A man and woman both robed deeply in black as ihough prepared for burial, lying upon a horse blanket. The woman was dead, and a smile was on her face, which in life had been pretty. The man was dying, and soon was still. On the woman's breast, which she had bared for the bullet, lay a lock of her lover's hair, and upon his a dead leaf and a rose. Each wore on the left hand a black •love,. and between them lay a "bull dog" pistol. A drop of on the womaH% bsa^T 'Vm gTrTmy smoke on herfingers showed there was no murder, but suicide and the man having died last night indicated he had wiaited for the woman's death before takhis own life. Two bullet holes were in her breast at the heart and her companion's aim bad been true. Between them was a box full of love letters. The two bodies were placed on a stretcher by the officer and others who had arrived and carried to the street where a wagon was procured and the bodies were taken to the morgue. There the box of letters was opened. There was amass of them. A part were written by George Bassendorf of 19 Liberty street, Union, Hudson

AH—Programme

of Three Days' Shooting Match—Other Entertainment.

On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday next the fair grounds will, weather permitting, present an enlivening appearance, it being the occasion of the reunion of dd settlers of Vigo county. An interesting programme of exercises for the three days has been arranged and will be carried out without change. Speeches will be delivered by several of the oldest residents of the county, reminiscences of by-gone days will be related, and a genuine old-fashioned barbecue will be given each day. One of the attractive features of the three-days1 proceedings are the jrize shooting matches, the programme or which is as follows:

BASE BALL.

The 1 inal Game of the Series Between New York and Chicago a Farce.

CHICAGO, 111., October 3.—The final meeting between the New York and Chicago clubs was not deserving either of the playing or the organization as a contest of skill, but fine and clear-cut playing was made impossible owing to the very cold weather. A cold rain fell at one time, threatening to stop the game, and the Chicagos, who had obtained a good lead, played to hurry the game and were met by cries of "Play ball" from the crowd. New York obtained ifs five runs through a series of errors in the sixth inning, after the third man should have been out and was supposed to be out by a play at second base, but the umpire did not see it, and declared a runner, who was forced to run to second base, not ouf. The game vr&s called at the end of the seventh inning owing to darkness. The visiting team did a very graceful thing before the opening of the game, in presenting the home nine with a handsome silk banner inscribed "To Chicago from New York.

In presenting the banner captain Ward declared that while New York had striven, Chicago had won the championship and fairly. 'The attendance was 10,000. The score was

The Davis Family.

EVANSVILLE, October 2.—The Davis family concert, at Walnut street church, last evening, was far superior to what was anticipated. The auditorium of the church was crowded with people who sat for one hour and a half enraptured and thrilled with delightful music. Much was expected of this celebrated family, but even the most fastidious in attendance could not refrain from expressing words of-praise. General opinion is that the concert was a grand success. It is truely a musical family and their singing is rich, showing that talent is the result of nature and not ot cultivation. They can imitate anything imaginable, from a cat fight to a calliope, as they demonstrated last evening. The first part of the programme was a display of musical talent, but the style of the exercises varied, as it neared completion to comic singing. Some of the songs were rendered in such a ludicrous manner that the audience fairly went wild at times plaudit after plaudit resound-

SOCIAL PURITY MOVEMENT.

Even the Immaculate Journalist* are Charged With Immortality.

LONDON, October 3.—The social purity movement founded on the revelations made by the Pall Mall Gazette is steadily gaining strength in England. The prosecution of Mr. Stead has greatly strengthened the movement and it is now headed bv the Methodist church as an organization. The cause is now warmly advocated by all the organs and preachers of the denomination, Meetings are being organized to make the public acquainted with the new developments of scandal in high places, and to inaugurate a general system of boycotting of tradesmen and commercial houses managed by men of reputed sexual immorality. Several of the great West end shops, where a swarm of young girls are hired at the most meagre wages, have been denounced by name in these public Methodist meetings as places for rum, ior young men and wemen and ladies have been warned to avoid them. Letters have been read accusing London journalists of general immorality. The Methodist Times even goef^ far as to explain the "conspiracy of lence" maintained by the majority of the1 London newspapers against the Pall Mall Gazette, and their attack upon Mr. Stead for making his revelations by alleging that an appalling state of the vice exposed by Mr. Stead exists in the -press circles of London. This paper prays that God .may raise up some mighty journalistic Hercules to "cleanse the Augean stables of journalism."

The Berlin scandal is much discussed in all the social jjurity meetings. The name of the illustrious man implicated is Prof. Graef. He is a member of the Berlin Academy ot Arts, is 64 years of age, is a senator, has long been celebrated for his painting and is "the author of the picture known as the "Nymph bathing." He was accused last spring Dy the mother of his model for the figure of the nymph in that picture of having corrupted both the model and her 14-year old sister. The accusation led to the professor's arrest on the 24th of March last. The details of the charge were so horrible that a secret inquiry was had and the result of this has been the conviction of the prisoner and the publication of the scandal. The defense was that the mother of the girls had sold their persons to the professor that she had compelled him during the period of his relations with the girls to pay her in all the sum of 63,000 marks, and that hfer prosecution was instituted solely by his refusal to.be Inr^bUclM^le^^

Poor Carlotta.

LONDON, October 3.—New developments continue to show themselves in the case of the Empress Carlotta. It will be remembered that the empress recently celebrated the 65th anniversary of her birth and that it was announced that a marked improvement had taken place in her mental and bodily health. Dr. Smith, the specialist in custody of the unfortunate lady after an extended observation of her ailment now reports that he can find no basis for any hope that the empress will have any permanent recovery from her malady. He says she is jossessed by a persistent delusion that

Uaximillian is alive that he iB working out a brilliant destiny, and that he will soon be emperor of the whole world. She spends much of her time in searching for him in the rooms and gardens 6f her chateau. In her calmer moments, she

holds

receptions. These are limited to the ladies ot the Belgian court and toward these the empress maintains an. extremedignified and imperial mien. One phase of Carlotta's insanity is remarka)le. She has conceived a violent passion for making frequent purchases of costly court costumes. She is permitted to indulge this passion and as she buys with exquisite taste the costumes are subse quently sold generally without loss and often with great profit to ladies of high standing in Brussels.

English Royalty.

LONDON, October 3.—Queen Victoria family gathering at Balmoral Castle, in Scotland, includes theDuke and Dutchess of Conneauglit and their children, the DQ -chess of Albany and Prince Henry, of JBattenberg, and his wife, the Princess Beatrice. Visitors to "Balmoral describe the daily life at the castle as one of extreme simplicity. The queen is an early _riser. she breakfasts regularly at 8 o'clock every morning and insists that all her ruests be present at the meal with het or go withput it. After this early morning

The household is managed economically and even parsimoniously. The servants are held to strict accountability and it is alleged the larder is not free to the sluggards, who prefer to sleep to breakfast at 8 o'clock.

The Prince of Wales, having been in formed recently that bis son, Prince George, haying a rather gay time at Portsmouth, where he was supposed to be learning how to be a British sailer, sent instructions to have the boy

When subscriptions were called for hardly an individual present failed to respond. The lowest estimate places the amount subscribed at $5,000, making. •iastwhow to supply the citizens total of $10,000 thus far raised for 1, Anna* anr) this object in Chicago. On motion of Mr.

Mr. J. T. H. Miller, the clothier and merchant tailor, has a specially handsome line of fall overcoats which are almost equal to custom-made goods. They are much more pleasant to wear during the cool 'fall mornings than the heavy coats, and are very stylish in make-up and of excellent quality. These goods were selected with great care, and they embrace a variety 6f nobby shades.

A Check to the ta Wtota'the East—A Month MOT* l*ira If the K«vlv*l IS Genuine.

NEW YORK, N. Y., October 3.—The check to'the activity in business circles at the east, noted in Bradstreet's last we«k, has' Become iftere pronounced. En 'New'' England the distribtftibt! of- hoots and shoos is .as heayy aneyer, but the demand for wool- and.cotton gdods-hW Mien off. Beth staples are quieter. Raw wool UT fairly active agd-the advance in prices previously noted is sns* taised, but the tendency to an advanee in quotations is less marked. Late sales are less than during veeks in tte latter part of August and in the .earlier portion of '.September.4- 'There re a dimiitshtid activity in dry goock. -Prices are' no -more than sustained.- Soto--mission and jobbing"^ houses fit^d a check-in the demand,- and -state that itwill now 6e necessary for the retail demand to step in and take the wholesWe purchases of the last tnOnth or two if the late-activity is to be upheld. Within a month it will be made plain whether the general ptibfic has the ability as well as the desire to buy more largely than within a year past. The movement of textile staples from second hands has visibly declined. Providence (R. I.) advices are that cotton and woolen marfuturers how think, that {he foundation of the improvement in business within the past month or so & hot as solid... iw -had been hoped. Machinery ger My is winning IjOt the effort to obtain better prices has resulted disappointingly.

At Boston, Philadelphia, New York and other eastern basiness oentas there is no material'change in thesitoation^beyond the fact that buyers appear to have reached a limit to their purchases in anticipation of wants. At Savannah, Galveston and Memphis there has been a disappointing trade during the week, largely on account of unfavorable weather. At Cincinnati, too, business is more qui at and eriees in some lines are weakei. At Pittsburg and Cleveland the distribution of goods is fairly active only. At aL Paul there is moderate activity with, -no -signs of a boom. At Chicago trade is still fairly satisfactory, and the demand for funds from the country has advanced loan rates from 3 tb 5 per cent At St' Louis, too, in spite of wet weather, sUples arein fair demand''

The ncuiest from east aad west is of fair proportions, with no indication ot an advance in prices. Less is heard of southern iron -in the east than formerly. An*. tbractt»edal1sT§M«» aa*H» atedgmteJy hetttor (Wmflwtt

Grain is dull and low. The export demand is not specially improved, and stocks in sight in this country are heavier than ever.

Flour stocks throughout this country are about 38 per cent less than on July 1st, as reported by Bradstieet's, but the staple has been in relatively light export demand at current quotations.

Cotton has advanced, owing to reports of damage to the growing plants and mercantile failures are unexpectedly but little in-excess of the total for nine months of 1884.

Grocery staples are without improvement. In dairy products butter is dull and cheese higher.

AN EXTENSIVE LOCK-OUT.

Two Thousand Union Coal Miner* Thrown Oat of Work.

WHEELING, W. Va., October 3.—A fresh labor trouble has broken out among the coal miners in this vicinity. The cause of these new troubles is as follows: About a week ago a committee of miners, work ing for the Pittsburg & Wheeling Coal company, waited upon the managers and informed them that their men had joined tbe National association and made the demand that a discharge workman, Michael D. Morgan, be reinstated or another union man hii-ed in his place.' Mr. Walters, one of the superintendents, went to Cleveland and had a consultation with the directors, the results of which was a determination to close all the mines of the company between Cleveland and Wheeling and discharge the men, over 2,000 in number. This order went into effect last night, and all the large mines belonging to the company in

Belmont county, Ohio, opposite, this city, were shut down until non-union men can be obtained.^ At the Wheeling creek mines two Italians refused to join the union and announced that they would resume work, when they were set upon by a mob and narrowly escaped being

^,l4^7nd^nTOrd"^a^™aoiMTkill«d. The union to which the minera honey and maple syrup, sweet potatoes, belonged is the National Amalgamated oyster plant string*' beans, choio formed aUndianap creamery and country butter .«»

In tlie Stock Market.

NEW YORK, N. Y., October 3—Wall Street—The stock market this morning shows none of the effects of yesterday's disasters. First prices for Northwest and New York Central were lower, Lackawanna 7, Jersey Central and Northern Pacific preferred unchanged, St. Paul, M. R, & T. and Louisville & Nashville $ higher. In the early dealings there was a general advance of to percent, while Lackawanna went up 1 per cent., but the advance was checked before the middle of the first hour, and there was subsequent reaction, daring which a portion of the earlier gains was lost Jersey Central was a marked exception to the general rule, declining in the early deal ings and advancing later when the geeeral list was weak. Daring most of th* hour the market has been quiet, and at 11 o'clock was dull and heavy.

St. Louis Street-Car Strike. ftr. LWIS, Mo., October 3.—The situation in street-car circles is becoming grave. The executive committee of the Kuights of Labor are now calling upon the managers of the various lines presenting tbe demand of the men. If the latter fail to return an answer before Tuesday a complete blockade will certainly ensue. As the police force, which is only four hundred strong, have sufficient work in keeping the vsat crowds incident to a fair week in order without additional duties in protecting street-oars, there will be much confusion.
