Organizing a New Reform V arty. St. Louis, Sept 3. A small convention,

composed of about thirty delegates chiefly , from this city, and representing elements' in the UnionLabor. Prohibition and Greenback parties, convened here to-day. The object seems to be to organize out of the better elements of these parties a national reform party. The movement seems to be largely in the hands of Willis Jones, of the Chicago Express, and an effort is to be made to gather these scattered elements of the parties into a compact body for future political work. The convention was called to order by E. L. Mahoney, of Texas, and the nsual committees were appointed. Mr. Mahoney was afterward made permanent chairman, and James T. McKibben, of Illinois, secretary. Governor Eagle's Majority in Arkansas. ' Little Hock, Ark., Sept., 3. Returns from 556 out of 1,020 townships in the State give Eagle, Democrat, for Governor, a net gain of 9,920 over his majority in the same -places two years ego. This includes losses in Greene, Faulkner, Desha, Benton, Lincoln, Craighead, Jefferson, Pointesset and Crittenden counties, and includes partial returns from forty counties. If the same ratio holds up Eagle's majority will approximate 34,000. Conservative estimates give 27,000 as the minimum. SUICIDE OF A MANIAC. Crazy Gardener Causes a Reijn of Terror, and Then Fats & Ballet Into His Own Brain. Chicago. Sept ,3. Crazed by liquor, William Sigert, a gardener near Gross Park, put a tragic end to his existence tonight, after terrorizing the entire neighborhoods For several years Sigert has been a gardener, and lived with his wife at the corner of Iloyne avenue and Addison street. This morning he visited the city as nsual, to sell vegetables. He. returned in the evening in an intoxicated condition.. During the day he had bought a revolver, and, with the weapon in his hand, he entered his home and stood before his wife, who was holding her baby in her arms. Raising the weapon to her breast, ho was about to take her life, when Bertha Wilwaek, the servant, stepped- between them. Being a buxom girl, and possessed of some nerve, she grappled with the infuriated gardener and succeeded in taking the weapon away. Sigert then seized a butcher-knife which lar near, and holding it menacingly over the girl's head, demanded the return of the pistol. Brave as the girl was, she threw down the revolver and ran screaming from the house. Mrs. Sigert had fallen in a 6woon and her helpless babe lay at her side. The screams of the servant girl were heard by several men who were passing, and they hurried to her assistance. With Llood-shot eyes the madman stepped from the door of his cottage, and with an oath, levelled his weapon straight at the breast of the foremost man. Three shots in quick succession were tired, one of the bullots passing through the coat sleeve of George Sehultz. Tho nudden appearance of the gardener, and his warlike actions, frightened the men who had come to the girl's rescue, and they lied in every direction. , A great crowd had now gathered at a safe distance from the house, and the maniac quietly looked at them with the smoking revolver in his hand. Some one had taken the precaution to send in a call for the police. A fow moments later the loud ringing of the gong was heard and the patrol wagon dashed through the crowd, Sigert watched the approach of the horses, and raising the weapon above his head he darted behind the house. As the wagon stopped and the officers leaped to the ground they heard a sharp report and Sigert's dead .body rolled out at their feet. He had stood close against the house on the opposite side from the direction in which tho wagon was coming, and had sent a bullet through his brain. The police picked up tho dead body of the cardoner and carried it into tho house. While at work in bis garden about six weeks ago Sigert was prostrated by the heat and had shown signs of insanity ever since. The Vote in Vermont. White River Junction', Vt., Sept. S.

Epe cial to the Indianapolis Journal. East LiVEnrooL, O., Sept. 3. Word comes from Walkers', a small balet situated between this placo and Wellsville, of a caso of barbarous cruelty, whicn occurred there a day or tub ago. Elias Glass lives there, and works in the sewer-pipe-works at that place. His wife works in the glass factory in this city. Botfi are absent from home during the day, and the house is left in the care of their young children. The youngest child is about a year old, and tho oldest is a half-witted boy about fourteenyears old. While the parents were away as usual, tho baby came fretful, and its cries so enraged the boy that he lifted its skirts and placed the little one on a hot ctove, and held it there until it was burned in a horrible manner. When the mother returned home in the evening and heard from the other children what had happened, she bared the boy's back and, with a stout strap, on the end of which was a buckle, beat him until his back was covered with blood and bruises. Later, when the father returned home and was informed of what had occurred, he stripped the boy's legs, took a lid from the stove and applied it to the baro limbs of the boy in several places, searing him terribly at every touch. The township authorities, hearing of the affair, had the parents arrested. lliddcford Aldermen ItevUlngthe VotlngLIst. BimKFom. Me., Sept.

.MZNER'S LIFE IN DAK GEE

Barrundia's Followers Said to Be Seeking a Chance to Slay the Minister, President Harrison's Reply to the Widow Disastrous and f &tal Floods in AustriaGermany and Our Meat-Inspection Law. MIZNER ADVISED TO FIXE. His Friends Say lie Is In Danger of Assns-. ftlnation by Staying In Guatemala. City of Mexico. Sept. 3. A Guatemala dispatch says that Minister Miznor's friends are urging him to abandon the city if he would save his life. The followers of General Barrundia threaten . to kill him on sight. Incensed by his order to Captain Pitts to surrender their chief, they hold him responsible for the subsequent tragedy on board the Acapulco. The failure of the attemp of Barrundia's daughter to shoot Mizner seems only to have whetted their appetite for what they call their revenge. Up to the present Mr. Mizner shows no signs of accepting the advice of his friends to 11 ee from the citybut the almost open threats of assassination have badly frightened him, and the legation is constantly guarded by squads of policemen. Nothing is talked of but the abortive attempt of Barrundia's daughter to kill Mr. Mizner. The facts are substantially as sent yesterday, although the details vary considerably as they are told by difterent eyewitnesses. Undoubtedly the woman, who was recently married, in this city, was made temporarily insane by the story of tho killing of her father. When she appeared at the logation she was very pale, and trembling with excitement. In her hand she carried a revolver, and she had forced her way into Mr. Mizner's nrivate oflice before anyone had presence of mind enough to arrest her. Then followed the scene as described yesterday. - While tho servants were disarming the woman, it is now said, Mr. Mizner ran into the street, crying loudly for help. A crowd quickly gathered, among them being a number ot policemen, who arrested the woman and marched her off to prison. The President's Reply to Barrnndik's Widow. '.. Washington, Sept. 3. Acting Secretary Wharton to-day sent the following telegram to the widow of General Barrundia, in reply to her message to tho President, Monday evening: The President desires me to say he has received your telegram announcing the death of your husband. General Barrundia. While deeply sympathizing with you in your aflliction, he awaits official details of the occurrence necessary to determine his action in . regard thereto. The matter, you may be assured, will receive moat careful attention. There is some difficulty at the State DeSartment in construing Senora Barrundia's emand for reparation, as it may mean either a call upon the President to exact a pecuniary compensation from the Guatemalan government for the benefit of tho bereaved family, or an exhortation to him to vindicate the majesty of the United States against an assumed affront to its sovereignty; If meant in tho first of these senses, it will be impossible for the President to demand a consolaturaforthe widow and orphans unless he first decided the sovereignty of the United States had been invaded, and upon reaching that decision the relationsof the two powers would assume so grave an aspect that personal interests would disappear from the controversy. If the cablegram wore meant as an invocation to the President to perform his public duty to his own country it would be an insult to the President and to tho country, unless it could be attributed to the spontaneous grief of a frantic and suffering woman. The protest of Senora Barrundia in no way atf'ects or alters the situation. Facts are what tho government of the United States needs. The only theory that can be formed from the information at hand is that General Barrundia was justifiably slain in unlawfully resisting arrest by authority and according to the process of law. Minister Mizner's part is assumed to have consisted in advising the master of the American steamer that he could neither be protected nor justified in resisting forcibly the arrest of a fugitive from justice who had voluntarily brought himself within the offended jurisdiction. Mr. Call offered a resolution in the Senate to-day. which was referred to the committee on foreign relations, declaring that the murder of General Barrundia on the steamer Acnpulco by the authorities of Guatemala while under the protection ot the ling of tho United States was an insult to the people of the United States. GREAT 2XOOD IN AUSTRIA. The City of Prague In Danger by a Rise in the ItlTerMoldau Many Lives Lost. Venice. Sept. 4. The booming of cannon at 1 o'clock this morning announced to the inhabitants of Prague that there was an alarming rise in the river Moldau, which, ilows through Prague. The waters of the swollen river bore along fragments of furniture and wreckage of all kinds. AtC o'clock this morning the inhabitants of the lower town were ordered to quit their houses by tho military. During the day the floating baths were destroyed. A pontoon on which were thirtvtive pioneers, 'two commissioned officer and a corporal was ftp capsized and only the officers and six other men were saved from drowning. All the houses at Budweis, which is also on tho Moldau, arc Hooded. Hundreds of boats are in nse. An official warning has been given that the dam. inclosing a fish-pond several miles in extent, near Gratzen, is in a precarious condition. The people living in the vicinity are panic stricken. Tho Danube is within three feet of the top of the dam which protects the lower portion of Vienna and the Prater. Numerous casualties are reported. Nineteen persons have been drowned in the flood at Prague. The waters are rising everywhere. IGERMAN MEAT IMPORTS. Views of Minister Phelps on Our New Inspection Law Threats Won't Do. Berlin, Sept 3. Mr. Phelps, the United States minister, was interviewed to-day regarding Senator Edmunds's meat inspection bill. He said: "Public opinion in Germany is doiug the work for us as rapidly as wo could expect Different' German interests are bombarding Chancellor Von Caprivi to hotly that we can afford to await a little before throwing our great shell. We misht turn this civil war into a foreign war to our undoing. Germany is a good country to coax, but a bad one to threaten, as Minister Sargent discovered. Our latest news is the startling appeal -which the municipal authorities of Berlin have just addressed to the Chancellor. The ligures are really startling. From, April, 1880. to April, 1890. the city of Berlin made a sain in ' population of eo.000. According to tho normal rate of consumption this increase in population 6hould cause an in-' crease of 0,000 head in the importation of swine, but, instead of that, the imports have decreased by 25.000 a loss to tho Berlin consumption of 43,000 a year. Matters have not improved since, for between Anril 1 and Aug. 15 there were received in Berlin only :?00.84S head of swine, against during the same period last year. In view of tbso fact it is no wonder that Berlin is restive. The Chancellor has w ithdrawn tho edict excluding the Austrian pigs, and now only Russia and America suffer from the unjust restriction. I expect that the prohibition against Russian swine will soon be removed, and then our turn will come. In the meantime 1 am not a bit discouraged." GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Catholic Movement for Kettering the Condi tlon of the Masses. London, Sept 3. The movement of an international character to identify Catholicism with the improvement of the condition of tho masses is making rapid prog ress, and attracts increased attention. A number of the young Catholic leaders in France, Switzerland, Germany and Austria have just visited Roino and secured the ad-

hesion of a larce party at tho atican. The younger members of the clergy aro practically unanimous in their approval of the movement, which seeks to remedy the ilia of the social system by inculcating the Christian doctrine of mutual love and forbearance, and would involve, in practice, the voluntary relinquishment by the employing classes, in many instances, of advantages now considered legitimate sources of profit. Persons outside the church regard the scheme as visionary The Pope is spending several hours each day in the study of socialistic books and leaflets, with a view to embodying his conclusions in a forthcoming encyclical. Intended Tributes to Von Moltke. Berlin. Sept. S. Great preparations for a national ovation to Count von Moltke on the occasion of the ninetieth anniversary of his birth include a proposal to buy tho house at Parchim, in which the Count was born, and to present it to him. Count von Moltke is endeavoring to prevent the execution of this plan.

Persons living in the vicinit'of the cemetery have addressed a petition to the authorities, asking that the order be countermanded on the ground that the exhalations that would arise from digging up the ground would produce an epidemic. The qnarrymen employed on the estate of Mr. Parnell struck against the employment of persons obnoxious to them as managers and overseers, the ground of objection being that the overseers were strangers and persons of a different creed from the quarrymen.

A MOTHER'S FATAL IIEROISM

Aged Woman Perishes bj Fire in Trying to Rescue a Daugh ter 'and Niece. Charred Bodies of the Three Victims Found Ly ing Together Son Arrested on Suspicion Explosion and Fire at New York. Philadelphia, Sept. 3. By the explosion of a coal-oil lamp early this morning, at No. 1501 Germantown avenue, the building was set on lire, and Mrs. Sarah Mclntyre, sixty yeara old; Mamie Mclntyre, her ten-year-old daughter, and Sarah Logue, aged seventeen years, were burned to death. The police have arrested Charles Mclntyre, thirty years old, son of the dead woman, on suspicion of having caused the fire. A partial investigation into the cause of the fire, by the fire marshal, is said to show that Mclntyre came home drunk last n'ght and upset the lamp in his bedroom. A few minutes before 3 o'clock this morning a citizen called the attention of an officer to smoke and flames which were beginning to pour out of the second-story window of the house at No. 1501 Germantown avenue. The officer at once turned in an alarm, and then, together with two men named James Herin and James Donahue, broke in the front door. The breaking in of the door was followed by a rush of flames, driving the 'officer and tke two volunteer firemen back. The inmates of the house, which consisted of Mrs. Mary Kelly and her two children, who occupied the second story back, Mr. and Mrs. Seigelfuss and their son, who were sleeping in the third story, the three unfortunato victims of tho fire and Charles Mclntyre, had by this time been aroused and began to realize the peril in which they were placed. Mrs. Kelly aroused her children, and, half carrying, half loading them, she rushed down the back stairs and reached the street in safety. When she had removed her children out of danger, Mrs. Kelly bravely re-entered the house and assisted Mrs. Mclntyre to reach the street. The Seigelfuss family had made their way through the smoke and already kindling flames, and although nearly choked by the smoke and scorched by the tire they reached the ground in safety. By this time the whole neighborhood was aroused by the clanging bells of tho arriving engines and the shouts of tho firemen, and the street was soon almost impassable with the crowd. Suddenly Mrs. Mclntyre, who was standing in the street, clad only in her night dress, uttered a terrible cry, and screamed out for some one to help her daughter and niece, who were still in the building, and then before the firemen and spectators realized her purpose, the maddened woman dashed in the smoke ana seething flames and started to make tier way up the stairs. For an instant her figure was clearly outlined by the red-light of the fire as she made her way up the stairs, and then, before the horrified crowd could even cry out a great gust of black smoke enveloped her and sho was seen no more. After this the firemen poured torrents of water on the flames, and soon bad them under control. When they made their way into the building the charred and blackened bodies of the two girls and the mother were found lying together at the head of the stairs. During the progress of the fire Charles Mclntyre had disappeared, but he was soon found, and was locked np pending an investigation by the coroner. The loss on tho building will amount to several thousand dollars, partly insured. -' Fatal Explosion and Fire at New York. New York, Sept. 8,The premises extending from 227 to 231 East Fifty-sixth street was destroyed by fire this morning. Tho lower part of the building was occupied by T. Hagan, tho upper portion by the Rossemoor Bouquet cigar factory. The men employed by T. Hagan, who is a manufacturer of roofing material, had entered the collar and wero about to sound the whistle for the men to go to work, when ', an explosion occurred in the back part of the cellar. The men who were in the cellar at the time fled for their lives. One of their number, named Daniel Hillian, seventeen years of age, perished in the flames. II is body was found in the cellar, later in the day, badly charred. John Logan, another workman, was badly burned about the head and limbs. The building is alivestory one. In it there was an elevator shaft, which, unfortunately, served as a fine for the flames and guided them swiftly to tho roof. So quickly did the flames gain headway tbat within fifteen minutes after the first alarm was sent out the whole structure was ablaze from cellar to roof. The heat from the burning tar and felt and other inflammable material which was stored in tho upper part of the building, was so intense as, to set fire to the flats adjoining on either side. Nos. 225 and 233 East Fifty-sixth street. The entire top floor of 233 was gutted. While one of the engines was going to the fire the horses slipped on the asphalt pavement and the driver was thrown from his seat under the wheels of the engine The loss sustained by both firms is estimated at $40,000, which is pretty fully covered by insurance.

An Indian's Plea Before the American Forestry Association Depletion in Canada. Quebec, Sept 3. At the meeting of the congress of the American Forestry Association the inauguration speech was delivered by Lieutenant-governor Anger, who welcomed the American members to the city. He dwelt upon the enormousraidsmade on Canadian forests during the past few years. From 1SC7 to 18S9, he said, 10,430,000 million feet, board measure, and 09,000.000 cubio feet of wood were cut down in the province of Quebec, while the revenue derived from the lumber had been $9,800,000. Last year's revenue was more than $1,000,000. The lieutenant-governor expressed the hope that the association would publish its work in French, so that the people of this province might benefit by them. . At tne afternoon session several impor tant papers were read. An unexpected incident delayed for sometime the proceedings of the congress. Old Huron Chief Sioue. accompanied by four other Indians, decorated with war-paint and plumes, entered the hall. Joly De Lathbiniere intro duced the chief to the audience, and ex plained to him the work of the congress and how the members of the American forestry wero striving to save the forests from the lumberman's ax. Sioue seemed pleased with this, and declared himself a friend of the association. Kismg to bis feet, he began a harangue in the Huron tongue.which was afterward translated into English. "The woods." he said. were once our do mains, but now they belong to him who has the most money. W e are given what is called a reserve, but there is no game there. and if we want to hunt wo must travel far into the mvsterions re&ions of the Mistassini. where, thank God. the axmen havenot yet mastered the land.

He went to the front during tho famous race at the Oklahoma opening with a party of Topeka citizens who expected to get a slice of the new Territory and a share in the new towns. When the bell sounded the Judge and his friends made the wild race across the country toward the site of the present city of Oklahoma. They settled on the coveted land, but from the bushes came the regulars, men who had been waiting for years for that day. They tossed the handsacbelsof tho Topeka citizens aside, took their canes away and threatened to make targets of the. silk hats of the .'Kansas dudes,1 as the Topeka gentlemen were called by the men from the bush. The Tofeka delegation retired, ami Judge Guthrie ost his silk tile. Though he lost, his town lots and his favorite silk, the Judge has been more than compensated by the naming of the town in his honor." , The Root of the Trouble In the House. Reginald F. D. Pslgr&ve, Clerk of the House of Com , nions, in North American Review. The root and nature of the error which created the congressional crisis of January last are now exposed. Had the error been "The Speaker's Error," or an error of tho House of Representatives, I should not have ventured to intervene. But the error has such wide proportions and rests on so many shoulders that from it all personality, all partisanship, is eliminated. It is the error of the United States. 13y their tacid and by their active sanction, they have, during the course of many years, supported their House of Representatives in the low regard they pay to the highest duty of a citizen. Here, then, lies tne remedy. If Congress will not give vitality to the rule which directs the members to come out like men with their yea and nay, surely those who sent them to the hall of the House might impart vitality to Congress. Had they done so ere now, the legislative assembly of a "continental nation of 65,000,000 people" would not have been injured and annoyed by a device beneath the tactics of the most radical vestryman in effete old England. Baron Illrsch'i Philanthropy. Edmund Yates, in Keir York Tribune. Baron Hirsch, upon whose shoulders the cloak of the late lamented James Mackenzie has descended, is a very shrewd and a very remarkable man. He can neither drive nor dance as well as many less favored mortals, but he is one of the few speculators in the world's history who have made and, what isjmore, retained one milliard francs. He is a generous philanthroEist, and this title of s benefactor, as far as e is concerned, conveys no latent sarcasm. He gave the Austrian Emperor, unasked, uo less than 15,000.000 francs for public charities, and would have acted equally generously toward Russia if the government of the Czar had not suddenly developed anJi-Sernitic tendencies. His one great grief is the loss of his only son, who, owever, left two children by his Christian wife, whom be had married without his father's consent The Baron first caused them to be adopted by . a respectable family of his own faith, and has since adopted them himself. His grandchildren, a boy and & girl, are likely to become his inseparable companions. Cherokee Strip Cattlemen Ask More Time. Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 3. President Edward Hewins, of the Cherokee Strip Live Stock Association, is in the city. To a reporter to-day he said tftat "strenuousefforts are being made to iutlnence the President to extend the time set for the evaluation of the Cherokee Strip by the cattlemen two months, or until Dec. 1. If the President's order goes into effect by Oct. 1 it will necessitate during the next twenty-seven days the rushing of fully a quarter million head of our cattle onto the market, which will virtually have the effect of running the price of cattle down a great deal lower than the market has been for years. It will simply paralyze the cattle business for a considerable length of time. Every Representative in Congress from Kansas, besides the Senators, has signed the memorial asking for an extension of time which has been presented to President Harrison. Secretary of Agricultnre Rusk has also interceded in our behalf." - Obituary. Minneapolis, Minn., Sept 3. H. G. O, Morrison, one of the oldest pioneers of this city and a prominent - Republican, died last night at the house of Stanford Newell, in St. Paul, aged seventy-three.

Ileal Object of the Conquest of Mexico Crimes In the Name of Religion. Salt Lake Tribune. Tho celebration of the anniversary of the torture of Uuamntenieo in the City of .Mexico is enough to set anyone thinking. The ostensible mission of Cortes was to establish the true faith on the western shore. Tho mftcmiflcent fi o-htmir rinnA hv hi hand, thn burning of the ships, givingnotice to the little army so that they might know that they had to conquer ortto die, have given a glamour to the achievements of himself and his band which will probably last as long as time wilh lint in point of fact, tho man was simply a robber. What ho was after was land and valuables, and whether the conauest has resulted in . any good to the world is a question open to profound doubts. He found a peaceable and industrious people, a people! well advanced in many of the rude arts, a . people blessed by a paternal government, 1 t . ! J. .1. A wnicn was as wise as it was guuue, uuu Cortez went there as the eagle swoops down on the fowls in a barnyard. No matter if he carried the cross. No ' matter if. he called on the Lord as he cut throats and inllicted his tortures. When ; fully analyzed thefactstillremains that the blessings which ho sought to bestow were very limited, tho advantages which he hoped to gain were very great. He was a brave fellow. The band holed into Mexico were as good soldiers as those who fought tinder Caesar's eagles, but, in point of fact, the highwayman that steps a pack-train in a Mexican delile, robs the train and slays tho trainmen, symbolizes what Cortez and his men were, even as tho mustang horse has many of the characteristics of the blood horses which the cavalry of Cortez rodo into that unfortunato country. And th - queerest kind of a spectacle is to 'co the President of the Catholio repul hc placing a wreath on the statue of a man who, by a Catholic chief, was tortured to make him confess where the treasures of his realm were, which torture was carried on in the name of the Lord. This is a queer old world, and if from its weight ot sorrow there could be eliminated the wrongs committed in tho name of religion the snn would shine brighter in the heavens, and the flowers would blocm more beautiful upon tho earth. i An Echo of the Sclentlcflo Association. Christian Advocate. The citizens of Indianapolis and the officers of Indianareceived the association with highest and characteristic hospitality. Tho magnificent new State-house, of which the Hoosier is rightly proud, for the regular meetings; the commodious and tasteful Plymouth Congregational Church for the stated lectures; the valuable excursion and enjoyable reception; the ample and satisfactory hotel accommodations, with the Denison for social headquarters what more could be asked or desired? Since the first meeting of the association in Indianapolis, nineteen years ago, the city has improved remarkably in business push, and size and beauty. Latterly, much of , this gain has been due to the development of the Indiana natural-gas fields. Postal Development. Ilartford CoursnL The present administration has shown wisdom and made friends on all side by ita development of the postal service. Letters go more surely than in the halcyon days when postal clerks , had to ask friends to read addresses for them, and mails are increased, new ollicct opened, and conveniences multiplied.
