He admits that the company has taken certain business at very low rates for press associations, and even given service tree or at cost, in bulletining events of great public interest, but he does not consider that such exceptional incidents should be made a basis in determining the rates to be paid for government service, which is of the most exacting character. iFrom the Second Edition of Sunday's Journat. I -Arrest and Confession of Dr. Jone's Murderer, Cincinnati, July 27. Charles Bligh. a coachman of Dr. A. E. Jones, was arrested to-night, at Madisonvillo, on the Cincinnati, Washington fc Baltimore road, not more than live miles in an air-line from the acene of the murder. He was bronght into -the city and taken before Superintendent iJeitsch, of the police force, where, without hesitation or restraint, he made a full conll kUVLllUIDa 1113 UltlUUVi n MS S-J t ..and hi nrv nf horror w.i told with n little feeling as if he had been narrating the most commonplace events of a dull day's experience. His story was as follows: "My name is Charles A. Bligb. I was "born at Richmond, Ky. Am twenty-nine years old: am married. In March last I came to this city, and on tho third Wednesday in March engaged to work for Dr. A. 1L Jones, as hostler and for other woric, at . a week. On the afternoon of Thursday last I was working in the garden pulling -weeds, when the Doctor came out in his shirt sleeves wearing slippers and a slouch liat, and began to scold mo. I had just come out ot the barn where I had gone for a necessary purpose. The Doctor told me lie wanted the weeds pulled out of that celery, and he did not want any. more excuses about it. Tho Doctor was . cross and took a littlo stick and struck me, lmt it did not hurt. It was just a little stroke. This was near tho stable door. Ho talked pretty tierce, and cursed me, and ;aid again ho did not want auv more excuses. I became angry, and as the Doctor passed by me I picked up a bit of oak stick used in baling hay, and using both hands 1 struck him a blow from behind on the back of the head. He fell aud was speechless, but not dead. He was not able to move; he only breathed. 'I went on with my work iu the garden .until about half-past 6 o'clock, when I got a sack in the barn that bad been used for oats and put his body in it. He was breathing yet, and drew up his legs so that I could easily puh his body into the sack. I then tied it up with a hitchiug-strap, and went into the nonse and got my supper as usual. The folks asked mo if I had seen the Doctor, and I told them I had not. After supper they sent me to Mr. Thornton's (the Doctor's son-in-law), to wee if he was there. I came back and told them that the Doctor liad not been there. Then I went to the power-house and the cable road, and talked awhile with a colored man, and came back about 10 o'clock, took the sack on my shoulder and carried it down Park avenue to the manhole. Two persons were ahead of mo as 1 went, but I kept out of their way. I , laid the sack down on the grass while I took off the iron covering of the man-hole, and then threw it in, covered up the manhole and went back to Col. Jones's house, nd soon after went to my own house on Washington avenue. "Next day I went back and worked as usual till after noon, when they told me 1 need not work any more, only I should stay around. I answered questions many times that day that I had not seen tho Doctor. Last night, after I got home, Andy Hudson .came to me aud said the detectives had lecn to see him to ask what kind of a man 1 was. Hudson said he told them I was all right so far as he knew, but ho said from t lie way the detectives talked he thought they were about to put the Doctor's disappearance on me. This morniug I did not get up until after 6 o'clock. I then packed my valise and went down to Fnlton to take the train for Madison ville, but missed the train and walked out tho railroad and pike. "When I got to Madisonvillo I tried to find pome people I used to know in Kentucky, and when I got to Simon Bush's honse the detectives got me. I did not take Colonel Jones's watch nor his money, 1 did not know he had his watch or his money with him." In answer to questions, he admitted that lie had stolen from Dr. Morgan, of Kichmond, Ky., some time ago. He first said ho was accused of stealing it, then that ho got a part of it. and at last that ho got it all himself. Ho said he belonged to a secret society in Kentucky, known as the Independent Order of Immaculates. His concession was made in the presence of about twenty persons. Dr. Robert C. Jones, son of tho murdered man, was present at the beginning, but when the murderer began to tell, of how h struck his victim, the" son was obliged to leave tho room. It is well that the prisoner is under strong guard, else his heartless recital would bring him swift retribution. The police do not credit his story of not robbing bis victim. Only three dollars iu money was found on him, but they expect yet to find tho stolen watch. It has been n long whilo since the people of Cincinnati Cave been 6o profoundly shocked by a crime as they are by this murder. If tho crimiual had aimed to striko a man the most widely known ho could hardly have been more successful than in selecting Dr. A. E. Jones. IlMmarck's Latest Scheme. tCopjTJght lSfD. by the Iew Tor Associated Pre.) Bkrlxn' July 27. The greatest diplomatic tiinmph of Prince Bismarck's life will le achieved if ho succeeds in his latest project, which fs to arrange a meeting between the Czar. Emperor Francis Joseph and Emperor Willinm, in Berlin. News of tht Czar's assent to the proposition that he should visit the German ccurt on Aug. J3, was received at the Foreign Office cm Monday, causing the greatest satisfaction. Prince Uismarck immediately communicated with Count Kalnoky, calling his attention to the opportunity presented by the nearly Coincident visits of the Czar and Emperor Francis Joseph, and proposing that an in

!

terview bo held between the three mon arch, as well as conferences between himself, Couut Kalnoky and M. De Giers, tho object being to dissipate all misunderstandings. Officials hero have been instructed to maintain absolute silence. They deny all knowledge of the Czar's intentions, and declare that they cannot count ercn upon a Visit from him. Tho semi-oftlcial Dress have been similarly directed to maintain reserve on the subject, on tho ground that criticism might alter the present favorable disposition of the Czar. Thei official circle m Vienna is less observant of secrecy, and discusses the chances of any interview. Count Kalnoky, it is stated, has placed himself in Bismarck's hands, but refuses to make any overtures to the Czar regarding a meeting with Emperor Francis JoseDh. If Prince Bismarck persuades the Czar to consent to the interview, the Austrian Emperor will postpone his coming until the 18th. He will not be present when Emperor William receives the Czar, but will go to Kiel for the naval review, returning aiterwards to Potsdam, where it is intended tho Emperors shall meet. The Chancellor will return here on the 12th and remain throughout the visit of the Czar and Emperor Francis Joseph. He is supposed to be aiming, not at a definite treaty of alliance involving Russia in the central European league, but only to reestablish better relations between the three empires and balk French negotiations for an offensive and defensive allianco with Kussia. Ho has a foothold for a renewed entente in the Czar's increased intensity of hatrod for the Anarchist, Recent communications with St. Petersburg regarding the plotting of refugees in Switzerland leading to a common pressure upon the Swiss government, afforu a basis for concert of action by the three powers agaiu3t the Socialists, Anarchists and Nihilists. A definite understanding as to this sphere of action would tend to modify existing enmities. Even if only the semblance of amity were obtained, it would give new ?;uarantees of peace for several years, 'rince Bismarck's chances of arranging an interview have been strengthened by the support of the Russian embassador. Count Schouvaloff, but everything depends upon the mood of the Czar. The Kreuz Zeitung has semi-official advices from St. Petersburg saying: "The Czar, who has frequently altered his intentions regarding lb return of the visit of Emperor William, has now assented under the persistent entreaties of M. De Giers and M. V ishnegradski. Since the Borki accident, the Czar has had a morbid dread of a railway journey, eveu with the entire route guarded by select troops. He will be accompanied to Berlin by tho Empress and the whole imperial family. The party will Eroceed to Copenhagen after leaving BerRussian papers, however, do not believe that the Czars assent will be obtained by Prince Bismarck, even though backed by M. De Giers and Couut Schouvaloff The Novoe Vremya declares that the Czar goes to Berlin simply as an aet of courtesy, and that his visit will have no bearing upon the European situation, unless Germany changes her policy by consenting to satisfy the legitimate aspirations of Kussia. Crashed Under a Falling House. Chicago, July 27. One of the heaviest rain-falls ever known In this section of tho country did thousands of dollars damage in this city to-night. The storm-cloud came from the southwest and meeting counter currents of air hovered over the city for two and one-half hours tin ally passing to the northeast. The rain Iwgan about 6:30 o'clock aud continued in blinding sheets until 9 P. M. The violence of the wiud at times almost reached the fury of a tornado. In two hours and fifteen minute there was a rain-fall of 4.12 inches. During the storm an unoccupied three story brick building at the corner of Oakley avenue and Twenty-rirst street, was blown over onto an adjoining cottage, complctelycrushiug the latter, instantly killing eight and seriously injuring three of its occupants. Two families lived in the cottage, the front part being occupied by Cornelius Ferdinands, a blacksmith, with his wife and four children, and the rear by Charles Buck, a laborer, his wife and three children. The wrecked cottage caught fire from the overturned stoves in it, but the dames were soon extinguished and the work of rescue began. Charles Buck, who lived in the rear, was found pinned down by heavy timbers. Ho' was terribly injured about the head, face and chest, but may recover. His wife was found dead, crushed beyond all recognition. Gustaf, his oldest sou, aged thirteen, was fastened under a heavy beam. His right leg was broken and his skull fractured, lie was taken to the hospital, but cannot survive his injuries. Anna Buck, aged eight aud Albert, aged six, were crushed to death. Cornelius Ferdinands was found crushed to death in his doorway. His wife was lying near him, with their two-year-old babe, Cora, clasped in her arras. The mother was dead, but the child was rescued alive and taken to tho county hospital, where it died at midnight. Linda Ferdinands, aged ten, was found struggling and screaming. She had attempted to escape through a rear door, and was crushed about the chest and both legs. She may recover. Geneva Ferdinands, aged thirteen, and Gertrude, aged six, were not found up to midnight, although moans and faint cries for her help were audible from the ruins. A big tree blew across a Van Buren-street car, near Sangamon street, and nearly demolished it. The car was crowded with passengers, but no one was seriously injured. The' wreck was not removed and the track cleared for two hours. When the engineer of the Grand Pacific Hotel left his boiler he was in water a little below his armpits. Tho Palmer House suffered similarly, the water invading the boiler and baggage-room. At tho Leland it reached tho boilers and stopped the dynamos. Basements and cellars were Hooded all over the city, some to a depth of three or four feet. The water rushed down the incline into the La Salle-street tunnel, until it reached a depth of over three feet in the center, complotely interrupting for a time the traffic of the cable cars. The electrical disturbance was not great, and very littlo harm is reported from lightning. The damage caused to warehouse goods from Hooded basements, as already reported, will run high into the thousands. An Unsatisfactory Law. Esecial to the Indlsn.-UHitls Journal Washington. Jnly 27. The indications point to a speedy attempt in Congress to change the demagogical alien contract-labor !;nv. The latest action of the department in construing the measure is to hold u.ui an Eugiisiiniaii who came to thiscountry for thi pnrpose of accepting a bookkeeper's position in the office of a firm of Englishmen in New York is barred by the act, and that he must be sent back. The act. iu its inception, was sensible and good, but it was passed for tho purpose of catching the labor vote of the country at the time when such men as Tarsney. of Michigan, f.nd O'Neil. of Missouri, were posing as the Democratic champions of all that was good for tho labor interests of the country. It was never thoroughly considered and no attempt was mado V6 tell in advance what its scope would bo. It seems now that under the constructions of tho department during tho last and the E resent administration it can be used to ar out the most desirablo class of immigrants, while permitting the undesirable classes to enter without trouble. An Englishman who has been in this country a great many years, who has built np an extensive business in New York, was here to-day. Part of his bnsiness was to consult the department as to whether he would be permitted to bring some of his relatives to this country. He said that he had a brother over on the other side, and several nephews. He desired to give these 3'oung fellows a chance to become good American citizens, and wanted to offer them places in his establishment. He went back to New York to-day. convinced that ho would not bo allowed to bring tho boys over unless he does so surreptitiously. The Treasury officials are disgusted with tho law in its present shape, and it is said that Secretary Windom will ask tho President to strongly urge upon Congress the necessity for materially amending tho present act. Acting Secretary Batchelor has written a letter to the collector of customs at Capo Vincent, N. Y., in regard to tho enforcement of the law, in which he says: The law does not prohibit aliens or foreigners from voluntary coming into this country seeking for employment, and contracting for work after their arrival here. One who was an American citizen, bnt has (become a naturalized citizen of another country is an alien in the same sense of the law. As to tho case of an American citizen residing in Canada, but without having been naturalized there. and coming into this country under a previous contract to labor th question as to this liability under the iw will be decided when a case is presented

with its facts and circumstances. In view of tho inauy complicated situations and close business relations along the Canadian lino, which apparently were not contemplated or provided for by tho law, it is preferred that they bo submitted to the consideration of Congress before a needlessly rigorous enforcement of the law, possibly causing unnecessary hardship and hnancial njury to American citizens." Cldnese In the Nayy. Washington, Jnly 27. Tho Solicitor of the Treasury has submitted to the Secretary an opinion on the question recently referred to him concerning Chinese sailors in the United States navy and their relation to tho Chinese exclusion laws. On May 8 last Commander Green, of the United States steamer Alert addressed a letter to Secretary Tracy from Honolulu, stating that most of tho ward-room servants or the Alert were Chinese, enlisted at Honolulu.. He wanted to know whether the restriction act prevented them entering the United States. The communication was forwarded to the Treasury Department, with the request that an opinion be given whether the Chinese servants in the navy who were enlisted as such would be permitted to enter the United States and be discharged there. Solicitor Hepburn's opinion is that these Chinese can be allowed to land and bo discharged from the service. He holds that Chinese enlisted as servants on board of United States war vessels are seamen, and as such cannot be construed as coming under the head of common labor ers or emigrants in the meaning of tho exclusion act. There is nothing, he thinks connected with the enlistment of the servants on: board the Alert to show that they enlisted for the sole purpose of getting into the United States, and he says thero is no reason why they cannot bo , brought here. Acting Secretary Batchelor, to whom the opinion has been handed for action, will, in all probability, approve it. He believes that natives of other countries on United States war vessels are legally within the United States the moment they go on board tho vessel, as the domain of this country extends wherever tho dag floats. Therefore he sees no reason why tho Chinese in question should be prevented from landing at San Francisco. An Indlanlan's Invention. Special to tli IudlanspoUa Journal. Anderson, Ind., Jnly 27. Mr. Adrian Hitt lately of Jersey City, proprietor of the North Anderson sash and door-works, has the drawings and model of an electrical elevated railroad, which, he says, will eclipse anything in tho way of rapid transit heretofore discovered or invented. Mr. Hitt is now engaged in organizing a stock company, and is trying to raise $2,000 to build two miles and start the road from here to Indianapolis. He claims that these two miles will show the practical workings of the system. Mr. Hitt claims that with his now motor and system ho will start a person from Anderson, and in fifteen minutes laud him in Indiauapolis, instead of an hour and a half as at present. In the short space of four hours he will cover tho distance between hero and New York instead of twenty-four hours as at present. Mr. Hitt's system is so arranged that this can be done in perfect safety, and owing to the automatic manner in which it is arranged accidents are impossible. A carriage can be run from Anderson to Indianapolis for the cost of an arc light for the sanio space of time, and the transmission of mails can bo greatly expedited. Mr. Hitt is a gentleman of intelligence, a good business man, and claims to have solved tho problem of rapid transit. Sensational Attempt at Suicide. Chicago, July 27. There was a sensational scene in Judge McCounell's courtroom at midnight. James W. Smith had been on trial a few days past on the charge of criminally assaulting an eight-yearrold girl who had been takon by Smith and" his wife from an orphan asylum at Akron, O., for adoption. The case was given to the jury this afternoon, and at 11:45 to-niitht they returned a verdict finding Smith guilty, and fixing his sentence at nine years in the penitentiary. Smith was , greatly affected, and rising to his feet, exclaimed: "I am innocent; I swear before my God, whom I'm about to meet, I am innocent." As he finished he raised his hand, and with a small pocket-knife, stabbed himself in the left breast. He fell backwards on the floor, while his wife, who had been sitting beside him. screamed wildly: "Oh, Jim, why did you do that?" Doctors were hastily summoned, and found the wound an inch

and a half deep, about three inches above the nipple. They do not think the would-be suicide will die. In his pockets were found . letter addressed to Judge McConnell, but he Judge was too much excited to read it to-night. Smith had always borne a good reputation, and was employed as a draf tsman in a railroad office here. Racing at St. Paul. St. Paul, July 27. This was the fifth day of the Twin City Jockey Club races.

Small Vessels in Time of War. Wamiixgton, July 27. One of the recommendations likely to be Incorporated in the report of Secretary Tracy to Congress, this fall, is that all vessels built or purchased by the government be constructed with a view to service in time of war as smaller naval vessels, tfald a prominent official of tho Navy Department, ppeaklng of this subject; There are probably 100 revenue cutters, light-house tenders and vesnels operated in the service of the Fish Commission Coast Survey, etc., which could be and should bo so constructed as to form a powerful arm of the navy in time of need. As it Is thev are built without regard for the protection of their machinery or facilities for carrying armament. Roth of these could be provided without materially Increasing the cost of these vessels. The light-house tenders, for instance, with their crews familiar with the rlantlnc: of buoys and handling ground tackle, would prove Invaluable aa torpedo boats. Startling?

A Toet's Criticism. Mr. Maurice Thompson stoutly condemns the Americrn tendency to disloyalty to our country in the matter of art and letters. "In a word." he aayg, "we are not genuinely American. Lven in our common schools we are tanght a supreme deference in the presence of alien masters. Our liberal freedom has made us too familiar with ourselves and we have failed to maintain a proper self-respect. A man roust have a German name before we will listen to his science, a picture must be Imported to insure respectful consideration, a book must be written abroad and have Mr. Gladstone's notice before we will read it. This manner of public bias cannot be called loyaltv, no matter how many guns we fire on the Fourth of Jnly. Emerson is the ono great American poet the one pre-eminently loyal, local, soilrooted ceuius of our civilization speaking through literature. Yon may execrate his versiheation and detest his rhymes, but a more than ambrosial thrill, a taste of homehoney, a smack of native root-freshness, makes every sentence a delight, every stanza significant and suggestive. As we grow, Emerson will crow upon ns, because he prophesied and foretold our development, lie was as simple and true as Barns, and he was as clear and absolute in vision as Shakspeare or Theocritus." A Circus Clown Remembered. Portland (3fe.) Press. About sixty years ago a man by the name of Keynolds, who was acting as clown in a circus then performing in Gorham, was thrown from his horse, and so injured that he died in a very short time, and was buried in Gorham cemetery. Since that time, whenever a circus has visited Gorham, it has been the custom of the company , out of respect to the profession, to visit the grave of Reynolds and hold some service, and especially to play a funeral dirge. Wednesday afternoon, Jnly 17, the same order was well carried out by a visiting circus and several of the citizens of Gorham. The parties entered the cemetery in solemn order, and proceeded to the grave of Reynolds, where appropriate remarks were made and the grave decorated. A dirge from the band closed the service.
