POLITICAL. Pennsylvania Democratic Convention. In the Democratic State convention at Allentown, Pa., J. Koss Thompson was nominated for Judge of the Supreme Court, and Bernard J. McGranu for Treasurer. The platform was reported by Congressman Scott. It demands that the surplus in the National Treasury be used to pay the public debt, favors a “wise and prudent reduction of internal taxation and of duties on imports," indorses the administration of President Cleveland, favors “liberal pensions to deserving Union soldiersand sailors,” expresses sympathy for the people of Ireland in their struggle for Home Rule, and concludes as follows: We still hold to tho ancient doctrine of the party that the preservation of the rights of the people demand that we should look with jealousy upon monopolies and restrict corporate power within its proper sphere, and we heartily approve the action of the national adiuinistraton in reclaiming and throwing open to tho people for settlement 100,000,000 acres of lands which, through artifice and fraud, were wrongfully held by corporations, having been forfeited to the people by failures to comply with the conditions of the grant. lowa Greenbackers. A Des Moines dispatch of Thursday says: The Greenback party in lowa finally passed out of existence here yesterday. After tho organization of the Union Labor party at Cincinnati the Greenback loaders in 'lowa fell smoothly in with the new movement until the State convention was held at Marshalltown. There are two factions in the party here—one led by General Weaver and the other by exCongressman Weller. Both plotted to capture the convention, and Weller succeeded. Then the Weaver faction bolted, nnd called this convention. There were about forty delegates present. Serious differences at once arose, one element wanting to indorse the Marshalltown ticket nnd another insisting on straight nominations, A compromise was finally effected by which the Greenback party becomes a thing of the past in lows No ticket was named, but resolutions were adopted indorsing the Marshalltown platform, and calling on the farmers to immediately call a nonpartisan State convention to place an independent ticket in the field. THE CHATSWORTH HORROR. Nineteen Damage Suits Brought Against the Railroad Company. Nineteen damage suits, aggregating $127,500, were begun in the Circuit Court at Peoria, 111., on Thursday, against the Toledo, Peoria and Western Railroad on account of the Chatsworth disaster. The administrators of Mrs. Jarnos Deal, Mrs. Allen, Mrs. Ball, Mrs. Valentine, Mrs. Putney, J. D. McFadden, Elton Waters, M. Regan, William Stevens, and Alice Stevens, sue for $5,000 each. Jacob Bogart sues in trespass for SIO,OOOO for injuries, and so do Earl French, Lizzie Jones, and Albert Valentine for $5,000 each. Edward Putney and Phena Frahm claim $20,000 each, and Emma Ryan $15,000. _____ The National Game.

A “young Napoleon finance” named Frank C. McNeilly, aged 19, has disappeared from Saco, Maine, with $279,510 in money and securities belonging to the Saco and Biddeford Savings institution in which he has been employed as clerk. Only $3,500 of the plunder was in money; but s9l,ooo’was in railroad, municipal, and other securities, probably negotiable, while $185,000 of United States registered bonds, constituting the remainder of the “boodle,” will be worthless luggage to the thief. McNeilly’s retirement from tho bank under such circumstances is a painful surprise to the confiding officers, who had trusted him implicitly. Guillotined. A mob of twenty thousand persons collected at the prison in Paris where Pranzini, the murderer of two women and a child, was to be guillotined. I’ranzini refused to confess, and fought with the executioner, but was quickly overpowered. His head was buried, and the body given to the doctors. Bidding for Bonds. The Treasury Department at Washington opened bids for G per cent, bonds. The offerings were $2,960,000 registered and $490,000 coupons, at from 107.75 to 109.98. Purchases to the amount of $401,700 were made, in various sums, at prices ranging from 1084 to 109. The Whites Must Go. Indian Commissioner Atkins has ordered the removal forthwith from the Ute reservation of all persons found thereon whose presence in any way tends to disturb the peace and quiet of the Indians, and if found necessary to carry out this order to call upon the military for assistance. BAST. Henry S. Ives, the late “Napoleon of finance,” appears to have been guilty of enough criminality during his meteoric career “in the street” to entitle him to several thousand years in the penitentiary. It just transpires that the books of the Dayton, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railway, of which he had control, are missing, and that ho hypothecated 91,250,000 of its bonds, which had boon ordered to bo retired. A special from Wilkesbarre, Pa., says: Three hundred men employed at No. 1 slope of the Susquehanna Coal Company at Nanticoke had a narrow escape with their lives. This large army of men were engaged in mining coal in the lowest vein in the mine, when a great volume of water, stored in one of the upper veins, broke through into the gangway where the men were at work. By the aid of electric alarms the men all through the mine were made aware of the danger in store for them, and a mad rush was made for the openings. All succeeded in making their escape, but many of the older men and young boys were knocked down and trampled upon. Before the last man got out the water had increased to three feet in depth in the main gangway, and some of the miners had to paddle their way out.” The Ball-players’ Brotherhood held its initial meeting at New York on Sunday, all the League clubs being represented. It

was decided to require of tho League a modification of the existing form of contract, the principal change desired being in the release clause, the object of the brotherhood being to do away with the buying and selling of players. In the ballgame in New York Captain Anson imposed a fine of $125 on Pfeffer, of the Chicagos, for two misplays, and a row was the result. Pfeffer said he would never pay it, and the other players stood by him, and he furthermore gave it out that unless it was remitted he would never play another game with the Chicagos. C. A. Percy passed through the Niagara whirlpool in a life-boat of his own invention on Saturday. The experiment, which was entirely successful, was made to test his boat, which he claims will stand any sea, however boisterous. Robert Harf. Powel & Co., and Robert Hare Powel's Sons & Co., two great coal-mining firms of Philadelphia, have failed. The liabilities are estimated at $4,600,000. WEST. Timothy Coughlin, the section boss arrested for criminal negligence which was claimed to have caused the Chatsworth disaster, was released on SI,OOO bail. The Morse bridge-works at Youngstown, Ohio, were destroyed by fire, involving a loss of $125,000. The Chicago Tribune of Wednesday printed the following: Tho fate of tho convicted Anarchists is tho one topic of conversation in Anarchistic and Socialistic circles. Small groups of German workmen engaged in a subdued ami earnest conversation may bo seen any night in the saloons frequented by this class of people. There is a total absence of any wild talk in public places at least. Tho prevailing sentiment among tho friends of the convicted men is that there is little to hone for in case tho Supremo Court sustains the decision of tho lower court. The ruling of that body may bo expected at any time after next Tuesday. As the time draws closer a careful observer can trace a suppressed but intense excitement among tho men who a little more than a year ago listened to the speeches that led to tho riot of May 4. In all their conversation they rarely refer to the possibility or a death sentence, but when pressed for an opinion admit that there is small hope for executive clemency. There aro some, however, who are sanguine that Spies and his companions will yet escape from the hangman’s nooso. The Chicago Herald of Wednesday says there is no longer any doubt that the condemned anarchists are to hang: “Chief of Police Ebersold and Sheriff Matson have already received an intimation of what is coming, and they have been making active preparations to meet any emergency that may arise.” Information has reached Denver of a terrible encounter over a mining claim at the Good Hope mining camp, on the Chama River, about fifteen miles west of Trespeedros, a station on the Rio Grande Road just below the Colorado line. Harvey Mead and Fred Mead, two brothers; Al Mead, a cousin of theirs, and Joe Downing and Henry Hands were the participants. Jnst how the quarrel started is not explained, but the dispute seems to have been of long standing, though it did not culminate until last Friday. Tho conflict was over a mining claim, the parties being unable to agree as to the sharing. In the quarrel Al Mead stood alone, being opposed by the other four. The conflict led to shooting, in which all five of the men took part. Al Mead seems to have been tb.e quickest with his weapon, for ho dropped Harvey Mead, Joe Downing,’and .Hands. Harvey Mead and Joe Downing were killed instantly, while Henry Hands was so desperately wounded that he died in a few hours. Before Al Mead could get his revolver to bear on Fred Mead Al dropped dead. Who fired the shot that sent Al Mead to his last account is not stated, the whole affair having been a rapid fusillade. The Indian outbreak was considered at a Cabinet meeting at Washington on Tuesday, and Governor Adams, of Colorado, was instructed to confine the operations of the civil authorities within the State, lest crossing the reservation borders should precipitate a serious outbreak of reservation Indians. General Terry has sent to Washington a dispatch from Fort Duchesne. Utah, which states that Colorow and his followers are at the Ouray Agency, and are disposed to stay on the reservation. This is confirmed by Agent Byrnes, of that agency. In the recent figL. the Indians lost fifteen men, and sixteen others will die. Reports from the South are to the effect that the corn crop is unprecedentedly large, and that section will this year bo nearly self-supporting in the matter of corn, thus making a saving to the farmers of millions of dollars. Cotton still promises a large yield, and the advanced prices for tobacco will counterbalance the decreased yield. Business prospects aro brighter than ever before. Fire at Levanna, Brown County, Ohio, destroyed over twenty buildings, causing a loss of $160,000. Thomas Moody, a daring Texas stage robber, has been released from the Chester (111.) penitentiary on a writ of habeas corpus, the court holding that sentences to the penitentiary must be upon indictment and not information. A petition has been prepared by the receiver of the wrecked Fidelity Bank of Cincinnati in a suit against the directors of the concern for a sum in excess of $2,000,000. It is claimed the directors betrayed their trust and are individually liable for the losses of depositors. While thrashing operations were in progress on the farm of Lyman G. Curtis, near Flint, Mich., fire broke out among the straw, followed by an explosion of the boiler. One man was killed, two others were seriously hurt, and three young women badly wounded. The fire destroyed the barn’s and the season's crops. SOUTH. Shocks of earthquake were felt at Charleston, Columbia, and Summerville, S. C., and Augusta, Ga., on Saturday. No damage is reported. WASHINGTON. Col. Allen Rutherford, a wellknown pension-claim agent, was arrested in Washington on a charge of bribing a clerk in the Pension Office and taking records and tiles from that office. National bank depositories now hold over $20,600,060 in Government funds—the greatest amount ever held by the depositories at one time. The Treasury Department is making strenuous efforts to break up the practice of issuing imitations of the national currency to which many “commercial” colleges and business firms are addicted. This bogus currency has been extensively used by sharpers to swindle ignorant people, and its manufacture is in express violation of law. The chief of the secret service on Saturday seized and destroyed a large quantity of the stuff issued by a Washington “business college.” POLITICS. Five hundred delegates attended the Pennsylvania Prohibition Convention at Harrisburg. Simeon B. Chase was nominated for Judge of the Supreme Court, and D. C. Irish for State Treasurer. The platform indorses woman suffrage, the restriction of immigration, and the reservation of public lands for actual settlers. Powderly will decline a re-election as head of the Knights of Labor, and will take the stump in New York to defeat the nomination of Blaine next year. The New York Democratic State Con-

vention will be held at Saratoga, Tuesday, September 27. RAILWAYS. In the application of the Pacific Railroad Commission to compel Senator Stanford and other officers of the Central Pacific Railroad to answer certain questions in regard to the expenditure of funds for tho purpose of intlnenciug legislation, Justice Field of the United States Supreme Court delivered an adverse opinion at San Francisco: The Court decides that tho Pacific Railway Commission is not a judicial body. It possesses no judicial power. It can determine no right o£ tho Government or of the companies investigated by it. Its report to the President will not even bo admissible in a judicial inquiry as evidence of any matters investigated. It is a mere board of inquiry to obtain information on certain matters ami report the,xesult to tho President nnd to Congress. It is authorized to invoke tho aid of tho United States Courts in requiring tho attendance and testimony of witnesses, tho production of books, papers and documents, and such courts may, in case of refusal of a witness to obey tho suhpuina, issue an order requiring such witness to obey, and to produce books and papers and answer questions. The citizen’s right of personal security involves not only the protection of his person from assault, but the exemption of his private affairs, books and papers from the scrutiny of others. The law compels tho production in judicial proceedings of such documents ns affect tho interest of others or which are necessary to the prosecution of criminals, and in only one of these ways can they bo obtained and made public against tho will of tho owners. In Bovd vs. Tho United States <ll6 U. S., oIU tho Supreme Court said: "Any compulsory discovery by extorting tho party's oath or compelling tho production of ins private books and papers to convict him of crimes or to forfeit his property is contrary to the principles of free government. "This had reference to criminal proceedings, but is applicable to any such production of private books and papers of a party otherwise than in tho course of judicial proceedings or a direct suit for that purpose. It is a forcible intrusion into and compulsory exposure of one’s private affairs and papers without judicial process in the course of judicial proceedings, which is contrary to the principles of free government and abherent to tho instincts of Englishmen and Americans. In Hallett Kilbourne vs. Thompson (113 U. S., 168), Kilbourne had refused to obey an order of the House of Representatives to produce books and papers, and was by order of tho Speaker confined in jail forty-five days, when ho was released on habeas corpus by tho Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, lie sued tho Sergeant-nt-Anns, and the Supreme Court of the United States hold that Congress did not possess the power to inquire into the private affairs of private citizens. GENERAL. Taganrog and Rostoff have been annexed to the Don Cossack district and tho Jews ordered to leave. Many of them will ! emigrate to America. The business failures occurring throughout the country during the week numbered I for the United States 133 and for Canada I thirty-two. The Typographical Union of Chicago resolved to demand nine hours’ work with . ten hours’ pay, to take effect Nov. 1. Frazier and Stewart, who have been sent by the Dominion Government on an ; observation tour through the Northwest | territory, report that shocking destitution prevailed at Fort Chippenyan and along the Mackenzie River last winter. Many persons died of starvation, ami cannibalism was resorted to to some extent. Senator Cullom, in an interview at Chicago, expressed satisfaction with the | workings of the interstate commerce law, but thought that amendments will be proposed at the next Congress. R. G. Dun & Co., in their trade review, state that the tendency of prices during tho last week has been upward for most prod- . nets, and the state of business is rather 1 better: but there is still much hesitation and irregularity. Rev. David Seymour, a Methodist minister, and Mrs. Fannie Henry, wife of a newspaper editor, who eloped from Janesville, Minnesota, August 1, were arrested at New York upon their debarkation 1 from the steamship Adriatic. After their flight from Janesville they went to Europe, and were followed by ihe woman's husband. They took the first steamer back, and were arrested on the strength of a cable message from Henry. The woman was subsequently released, Seymour being , held on charges of adultery ami larceny. FOREIGN. The pleasure yacht Ilfracombe, while | sailing on the Thames at Loudon, turned j back to recover a boat hook which had j fallen overboard, when sho was struck by a squall and capsized. There were twentyone persons on board, all of whom were I thrown into the water. Assistance was ten ; minutes in arriving, and those who were ; still afloat were rescued by small boats, but twelve persons were drowned, and their j bodies have not been recovered. A CABLE dispatch reports that another I attempt was made to assassinate the Czar. I A nihilist disguised as an officer of the. guards approached the Imperial Guards while they were escorting the Czar on his ; journey from St. Petersburg to Krasnoc- | Selo, and twice tired a revolver at the Em- ] peror. The first shot went wide of its | mark, but tho second perforated the Czar’s j coat. The assailant was promptly seized and disarmed. A live Indian prince, tho first to visit the United States, has arrived at New York. After paying his respects to the President, he will visit all the leading cities in the i country. The Duke of Argyll has written a letter to tho London papers, in which he says ; that Mr. Gladstone’s attempt to minimize ' and excuse tho detestable tyranny of the । Irish National League “shows a condition i of mind on which no reliance can be placed for counsel and guidance.” MARKET REPORTS.

HOW SUMNER WAS STRICKEN. Sketch of an Event that Startled the Nation. <'n !ho'22d of May, two days after the speech in wltieh Charles Sumner I had excoriated Senator Butler, uncle of Representative Preston S. Brooks, Brooks entered tho Senate chamber. '1 he seats were arranged m semicircles, with a railing to separate them from a narrow lobby or open space next the wall; a broad aisle ran from the main door to the desk of the presiding officer. Dlr. Sumner's seat was in the outside row next to the railing, at tho second desk to the right from the entrance and the main aisle. Occupied with his work', Mr. Sumner did not notice Mr. Brooks silting across the aisle to his left, and where in conversation with a friend he was manifesting his impatience that a lady seated near Mr. Funnier did not take her departure from the chamber. Almost at that moment she probably arose and went out, for quickly afterward Brooks got up and advanced to the front of Sumner’s disk. The fact attracted the attention of Brooks’ friend; ho was astonished, amid the bitterness of party feeling, to see a South Carolina Representative talk to a Massachusetts Senator. His astonishment was quickly corrected. Leaning m>on the desk and addressing Sumner with a rapid sentence or two to the effect that he had read his speech, that it wasa libel upon his absent relative, and that he had come to punish him for it, Brooks began striking him on tho head with a gutta-percha walking-cano of the ordinary length and about an inch in diameter. Surprised, blinded, and stunned by the blows, Sumner’s first instinct Wts to grapple with ids assailant. This effort, however, was futile; the desk was between them, and, being by his sitting posture partially under it, Sumner was prevented from rising fully to his feet until he H d by main strength, in his struggles, wrenched it from its fastenings on the floor. In his attempt to follow Brooks they became turned, and from between the desks moved out into the main isle. By this time, through the repetition of the heavy blows and i loss of blood, Sumner became unconscious. Brooks, seizing him by the ' collar, continued his murderous attack । till Sumner, reeling in utter helplessness, sank upon the floor beside the ! desk nearest the aisle, one row nearer ■ the center of the chamber than his own. The witnesses""-ariously esti- । mated the numbey.of bbtvs given at I from ten to thf l T|avo principal wounds, two inclusion)-: and an inch | deep, had been cut op io back of SumI ner's head, and near the end of the [ attack Brooks’ cane was shivered to splinters. There were perhaps ten or fifteen persons in the chamber, and, after the first momentary pause of astonishment, half a dozen started to interfere. Before they reached the spot, however, Mr. Keitt, another South Carolina member of Congress, came rushin;; j । down the main aisle brandishing his ; cane, and with imprecufiens warning lookers-on to “let him ah ne.” Among those hastening to the reseuo Mr. .Mor- i । gan arrived first, just in time to catch i ’ nnd sustain tho Senator as he fell. ■ Another bystander, w ho had run around outside tho railing, seized I'rooks by j tho arm about the same instant, and the wounded man was borne to an ad- : joining room, w here he was cared for , by a hastily summoned physician.

The Sunday at Home gave an invitation to its readers last January to send lists of the hundred best hymns, and in response to this appeal between 3, lilt) and 3,500 lists have been received. An analysis of the voting shows that the largest number of a otes gives the first place to Top ady’s “Rock of Ages.” The prime favorites after this are Lyte’s “Abide with me, fast falls tho eventide,” Charles Wesley's “Jesus, lover of my soul,” C. Elliott’s “.lust as I am, without one plea,” Newton's “How sweet filename of Jesus sounds,” C. Elliott’s “My God, my I’ather, while I stray,” Sarah F. Adams’ “Nearer, my God, io Thee,” Keble’s “Sou of my soul, thou Savior dear,” Horatius Bonar’s “I hoard the voice of Jesus say,” ami J. Al. Neale’s “Art thou weary, art thou languid?” 'lhe list contains hymns from fifty five different authors, of whom Dr. Watts and Charles Wesley stand at the head, each contributing seien to the aggregate. The favorite among Watts’ hymns is by general consent his best, “When I survey the worn rous Cross.” Cowper and Dr. Bonar have each five; four each are from Bishop Heber and Jolin Mason Neale, while three are given severally from Tate ami Brady, Dr. Doddridge, James Montgomery, Frederick William Faber and Charlotte Elliot. Ken and Keble each have two, as also have Newton, Lyte, Edward Caswell, Samuel J. Stone, W. Chattendon Dix, Frances Hidley Havergal and Mrs. C. F. Alexander.

The general facts claimed to have : been established by tho most recent ! systematic tests of the action of railway brakes, appear to be as follows: Continuous brakes, operated by air, can bo npplieil to and released from the wheels of trains of fifty ears with all ! the promptness re(|itired in tho service. Second, brakes op rated by eompresi sion of the draty bar may be used with ! a good degree of success upon trains : not exceediDg twenty-five cars, if handled intelligently; to bo used on । long trains some device is needed by which the brakes will be steadily hold i to tho wheels during tho whole stop. I Third, in running down grades the I buffer brakes do not show retarding power relatively proportioned to that which they exhibit on I level track, or to that shown by j tho continuous b akes on down grades. । Fourth, the comparatively gradual j putting on of tho full power of l otdinut ous brakes in what aro called “service” 1 stops is unicient to meet all or nearly all the exigencies of service: the rec- , ords show that these stops, or at least , many of the , are made in just about tho same distance as the corresponding j “emergency” stops, while tho injurious j shocks which accompany tho latter are avoided if the brakes are ap}died with a fair degree of skill.
