NEW YORK GREENBACKERS. They Meet in Convention and Nominate a Ticket Headed by Rev. Thomas K. Beeher. The National Greenback party of New York State assembled in convention at Albany and nominated a full State ticket, headed by the Rev. Thomas K. Beecher for Secretary of State. This makes seven tickets in the field—those of the Republican, Democratic, Prohibition, George or United Labor, Socialists, and Union Labor parties. The National Reformers propose also to run a ticket. The platform calls for the issue of paper currency to the amount of SSO per capita on the whole population of the country, warns owners of Government bonds that unless this is done “the American people’s banks will be broken, as there are more chips on the table than there is money in the box to redeem them with.” It denounces the Republican, Democratic, and George parties, although it sympathizes with ex-Father McGlynn in his struggle against the Pope. Boards of trade are denounced as gambling hells that subvert the morals of society and business. SUICIDE IN ACOURT-ROOM. A Negro Condemned to Five Years in Prison Cuts Uis Throat and Dies. A thrilling tragedy was enacted in the Circuit Court-room at Chattanooga, Tenn. Sam Branch (colored) had been tried for larceny. As the jury filed into the court-room with its verdict -he was noticed to tremble and turn deathly pale. “What is your verdict?” asked the Judge. “Guilty of grand larceny,” replied the foreman. “What is the sentence?" “Five years in the penitentiary.” As these words were uttered by the foreman Branch exclaimed: “God knows I’m innocent,” and, pulling a large knife from his pocket, thrust it into his throat, the bleod spurting over the jury-box and the Judge’s desk. The negro was dead in thirty minutes. The National Game. The record of games won and lost by the teams of the National Base - Ball League is as follows: PercentClubs. Won, Lost. age.

Douglas & Stuart’s great oat-meal mill at Cedar Rapids, lowa, was completely destroyed by fire. The conflagration was caused by an explosion in the elevator leg, probably due to friction. The loss will reach $110,000; insured for $75,000. Fire destroyed about 4,000,000 feet of lumber belonging to the Girard Lumber Company, of Menominee, Mich., with dockage. The loss will reach $75,000; insurance, $30,000. The fire losses for September were $7,937,900, against $6,500,000 during the same month last year. The aggregate losses for the first nine months of 1887 are $93,183,500 —$10,000,000 greater than for the same period of 1886. Sparks from the Wires. Lorenz Cheney, a prominent farmer of Rock County, Wis., cut his throat and jumped into a creek near his home at Emerald Grove. William B. Washburn, ex-Governor of Massachusetts, dropped dead at Springfield, in that State, while attending a session of the Board of Foreign Missions. General Pitcairn Morrison, a retired officer who entered the regular service in 1820, died in Baltimore at the age of 93. The President’s sister, Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, has returned to her profession of teaching, and is engaged in a young ladies’ seminary in New York. Only two of the Peoria distilleries now remain outside of the “whisky trust.” Young Hawkins, who murdered his mother at Islip, Long Island, has made a full confession, detailing the revolting particulars of the crime. He thinks he was crazed by his mother’s opposition to his marriage, and admits that he “deserves the severest punishment.” In relation to the case of United States Consul Hatfield, of Batavia, Java, whose arrest by the Dutch colonial officials has been reported, it is learned at the Department of State that shortly after his arrest the Consul was found to be insane. Crispi, Italy’s Foreign Minister, says his talk with Bismarck had no political significance. In an interview, however. Sig. Crispi states that Italy, like other powers, has reason to fear the advance by Russia toward Constantinople, and she could not permit the Mediterranean to become a Russian lake. EAST. August Stoepel, a well-known musician in New York and London, died in the former city, recently, in the arms of his daughter, Mrs. Henry Miller, known in the theatrical profession as Miss Bijou Heron. The America’s cup remains in America. The Volunteer won a great victory on Friday. and settled for the present her superiority over any yacht ever designed on the other side of the Atlantic. She crossed the finish line in the great international contest ten minutes ahead of the Thistle. When the Yankee’s victory was assured cannon were boomed and innumerable steam whistles emitted vigorous screeches. Hundreds of craft of all sorts had gathered to honor Gen. Paine’s famous yacht, and all celebrated the victory in boisterous fashion. As the victorious American crossed the line, the American flag was sent to the masthead of everything afloat, and the thousands on the excursion boats burst forth into one long-continued shout of triumph. The correct time at the finish was: Volunteer, 4:22:10; Thistle, 4:34. A party of enterprising “Napoleons of finance” were rudely interrupted in an important speculation, early Thursday morning at New Castle, Del. They entered the Farmers’ Bank there, bound and gagged W. J. Black, who was visiting the cashier, and proposed to do as much for the cashier .

himself. One of them presented a revolver at the cashier’s head, but the latter was not satisfied that the draft was genuine, and sent a bullet from his own pistol into that member of the syndicate. The financiers thereupon abandoned the attempt to corner the bank’s cash, and retreated with the collapsed member of the firm. John B. Finch, of Nebraska, a wellknown temperance advocate, died suddenly at Boston. Anarchy came out second best in an encounter with the police at Union Hill, near New York, on Sunday. An anarchist meeting had been called, but the police took possessir « ' ‘he hall and refused to admit the mob. .. me of the anarchists made a rush upon the officers, but the clubs of the latter quickly subdued the riot. Fourteen deaths from cholera are reported from New York since the arrival of the Alesia, eleven days ago, with the scourge on board. There were four deaths Tuesday. WEST. A military post will be established at Denver. Many of the miners in the Springfield, 111., district have struck for increased wages. The movement is expected to become general, and to cause 2,500 men to abandon the mines. The people of St. Louis were very demonstrative in their reception to the Presidential party Monday. Everywhere the distinguished guests were received with the utmost enthusiasm. Mrs. Cleveland won all by her grace and beauty. The programme was elaborate, and was pleasantly carried out. The Presidential party was driven through the fair grounds, but did not alight. The procession made its way back to the city, where they went directly to the Merchants’ Exchange. The President was loudly cheered upon his appearance on ’Change. Mayor Francis delivered an address of welcome, and the President responded in a five minutes’ speech. After referring to the growth and prosperity of the city in highly complimentary terms, he said: I am here reminded of what I suppose to be the fact that more than one-half of your voters are of foreign birth and parentage. The growth and increase of your city in every way indicate, I think, that the condition of your population thus made apparent is by no means to be depreciated, and my observation during a long residence in a city similarly situated has led me to know' the value to any community of the industrious, frugal, and thrifty men ’and women who come from foreign lands to find new homes with us; who invest themselves with our citizenship and who are satisfied and content with the freedom of our Government and with our laws and institutions. The line is easily drawn between them and the non-as-similating immigrants who seek our shores solely for purposes involving disturbance and disadvantage to our body politic. I hope I may, without impropriety, say this much in recognition of what has been done for St. Louis by its naturalized citizens ns well as remembrance of many kind and valued friends and associates of former days. Three or four times during the delivery of the President’s remarks—at every pause —some voice proposed three cheers for Grover Cleveland, and the lungs of the multitude responded. Four persons were killed and two seriously injured by a boiler explosion in George P. Plant’s flour-mill. Mrs. Thos. S. Rivers, wife of the foreman, was blown from the boiler-room across the alley into a room sixty feet from where she was standing and was killed,as was her husband, who was buried under the debris. Fritz Kullman was also buried in the ruins and was taken out dead. Henry Tenne was instantly killed by the steam and the force of the explosion. Engineer Benjamin Meyers was seriously injured. Minnie Reiohman, aged 5, had both legs broken, and is so injured that recovery is not probable. A piece of the boiler flew 200 feet and crushed down upon the roof of a two-story house, crashing through to the cellar, demolishing the whole house. Another piece of the boiler smashed into an adjoining livery stable and pulled down a wall and part of the roof. A Mackinaw City (Mich.) special says: The Canadian propeller California, laden with 24,000 bushels of corn and 800 barrels of pork, ran aground, Tuesday morning, just off St. Helena’s Island. There were 27 people on board; 13 were saved, and 14 lost. The boat is a total wreck. It is understood she was insured for $25,000. Owen Rourke, a wheelsman, says: “After all hope had been given up, the passengers j and crew gathered in the cabin and put on life preservers. I was standing aft when an immense sea struck her and threw f her over on her side. "When she came down she appeared to strike bottom, and the whole cabin collapsed with a : crash.” Rourke says he pulled himself into a life-boat and cut it loose. There : were eight others in the boat with him. ■ They drifted around the Straits four hours, the boat being full Os water. A fireman ; and a passenger from Montreal, who were j hanging on the side, were swept overboard and lost. A. G. Hawkins, watchman, says: | “I was in the cabin, lying with the crew and passengers on the floor to keep warm, when the crash came. I made a rush for the stairway with the rest. It was a terrible jam. Just as I got out of it the railing gave way and a dozen or more fell to the main deck. I reached a gangway and got out. I drifted about till early this morning, when I was picked up by the propeller Faxton. ” This was the experience of nearly all the saved. All had lifepreservers on, and it was a question only of endurance whether they reached the shore a mile distant. Four bodies were ca t up by the waves unconscious, but were revived under careful treatment. It is believed that there were in all twenty-five persons on the California, of whom thir- ; teen were lost. All of the saved were from Montreal, Toronto, or Kingston, Ont. Sioux City (Iowa) special: “Sioux ( City is in gala attire to-night, the occasion j being the opening of the corn-pal-ace jubilee, a celebration gotten upj in honor of King Corn, the principal product of this section. After over a . month’s hard work on the corn palace, a ! structure entirely original and very striking in architecture and the uni oneness and originality of its decorations, which are ' entirely made of corn and the products of i the fields, the show opens with the most favorable weather that could be imagined.” । The schooner Pulaski, coal laden, went \ to pieces at Good Harbor, Lake Michigan. The crew were saved. In St. Louis, on Tuesday, the President held a general reception for two hours at the Courthouse. After that, with Mrs. Cleveland and a largo company, a steamboat excursion was made to Jefferson Barracks. In the evening the President and Mrs. Cleveland attended the ball of the “Veiled Prophets,” and immediately afterward took the train for Chicago, leaving at 11:15. The party arrived at Chicago Wednesday morning, and were given an enthusiastic reception. SOUTH. Robbing stage-coaches has become so entirely safe an industry in Texas that a single thief is considered sufficient for its ! prosecution. Recently one mau stopped a | coach near Ballingter, plundered five men i and three women, and then held the whole party till another stage came in sight, when he released the heroic victims, sent them off, and turned his attention to the approaching stage, which he also robbed. Mil Milburn, a prohibition member of the Tennessee Legislature, being at Greenville, in that State, remarked that the people thereabout had sold out to the whisky men. A young person of the name of Ward imprudently disputed the proposition. and intimated that the legislator was a liar. Whereupon Mr. Milburn immediately shot the young man dead. - In Houston, Texas, Mr. B. F. Kegans, Deputy Sheriff, killed John Millenger, a leading merchant. Kegans owed Millen-

ger $19.49 for groceries, and the latter having refused to let the amount be increased, the Deputy Sheriff naturally shot him in self-defense. A special dispatch from Ballinger, Tex., gives particulars of an audacious robbery perpetrated by a solitary road agent: The Ballinger and San Angelo stage was again robbed last night about eight miles out from this place by the same lone highwayman who held it up last Thursday night. He was recognized by his voice, his looks, and his horse. He was not as successful in this as in the last, there being only male passengers, and it appears that they were not loaded down with filthy lucre. D. F. Gay, of Burt & Gay, of this city, was relieved of S 3, and the other party of a like amount. There were two ladies aboard, one of whom had over 845, but the baudit was too gallant to accept it, saying that he nover took money from the ladies. He then proceeded to go through the mail-bags, opening every letter, but it is said only got about 815 all told. He then moved up to meet the out-going stage, and commanded the parties just robbed not to move until he fired his pistol. After waiting about an hour the stage pulled up, having eluded the robber by taking a new route. POLITICS. A special from Memphis, Tenu., says: “Returns so far indicate that the prohibition amendment was defeated in the State, Thursday, by a very small m-’ority. The anti-Prohibitionists carried L city by a majority of 4,232 out of a total vote of 9,010. County district returns are coming in slowly, but Shelby County will give about 6,000 majority against the amendment. Ladies worked for the amendment at all the voting precincts in the city. The indications are that the vote on the adoption of the prohibition amendment will be close. East Tennessee is claimed to have given a Prohibition majority of 10,000. This is based on private dispatches to Prohibitionists. Davidson County will give an antimajority of nearly 2,000.” GENERAL. A San Francisco dispatch says the suit of the Chemical National Bank, of New York, against William Kissane, alias William K. Rogers, who has obtained such notoriety by the exposure of his criminal career in the East, has been dismissed byUnited States Circuit Judge Sawyer. The bank claimed that Kissane swindled it oqt of $4,230 in 1854, and asked judgment for about $14,000, including interest. Kissane demurred, and the Court sustained the demurrer, saying that the statute of limitations had run against the bank's claim. The bank argued that Kissane’s whereabouts had been unknown, but the Court held that, even if Kissane did disguise himself and assume an alias, it did not disbar him from having full benefit of the statute. The schooner Havana, ore laden, bound from Escanaba to St. Joseph, was wrecked on Lake Michigan during a fierce gale that raged all day Monday, and three of her crew perished. The schooner City of Green Bay, laden with iron ore and bound from Escanaba to St. Joseph, Mich., was driven ashore near South Haven and went to pieces, five of the crew of six perishing. The schooner Ebenezer was lost on Lake Michigan, but the crew escaped. Mil Bayard, Secretary of State, does not think the German assumption of sovereign power in the Samoan Islands requires any action on the part of the United States. Under a treaty with Samoa the American Government is entitled to the use of a fine harbor and coaling station, but this right has not been put to any use. Germany has assured the Washington authorities that her intention is not to annex the Samoan group, but only to punish the dethroned King for alleged unfair treatment of a German trading company. The National Farmers’ Alliance held its seventh annual convention in Minneapolis, with delegates present from Illinois, lowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Dakota. FOREIGN. Col. Sir Joseph West Ridgway, recently in charge of the British commission on the Afghan boundary question, will succeed Maj. Gen. Sir Bedvers Buller as Under Secretary for Ireland. It is semi-officially announced that M. Flourens, French Minister of Foreign Affairs, in conversing with Count Von Munster, the German Ambassador, on the subject of the frontier shooting incidt nt, pointed out, first, that not a single stain of l blood had been found on German soil; I second, that Kaufmann, after firing, fled, showing that he was conscious of Having । committed an illegal act. The French official inquiry, therefere, argued Flourens, proved tnat the German agent knowingly committed an offense. Count von j Munster replied that as the German inquiry I had not been concluded he could give no pledge as to what would be done. The ‘ French Government will insist upon the punishment of Kaufmann, the question of indemnity being of second importance. I The Procurator of Nancy will meet the i German law- officers at the scene of the in- । cident for the purpose of making a joint examination. M. Lebigne, a banker at Nancy, who is the lessee of the ground where the shooting occurred, and who was one of the partv of sportsmen, says the party did not cross the frontier line. “After the shooting,” he says, “we found blood-pools on French soil. I requested a sergeant of gendarmes to mark a tree at the spot. I swear that neither challenge nor cry was addressed to us. Had the Germans uttered a sound we must have beard them.” M. Schnaebels, Jb., son of the French officer who caused the complications a few months ago between Germany and France, has been sentenced to three weeks’ imprisonment for crossing the frontier and affixing a treasonable placard, bearing the tri-color, upon a tree on German soil.

Mexican Mining Kings. The bonanza kings of Zacatecas are the Escobedos, and the king bee of the family is the Hon. Jesus Escobedo. His income, in the language of a Zacatecas American, is three times what John W. Mackay’s is. When he was a boy Jesus Escobedo peddled charcoal. Associated with Jesus in the mining enterprises are Jose Maria and Cayetano Escobedo. Besides the three brothers there are other branches of the family also engaged in mining. Jesus Escobedo is one of the largest owners in the Veta Grande, from the discovery of which the existence of Zacatecas as a mining camp dates. He has been a Deputy in the lower branch of the Mexican Congress, and a Senator as well. Jesus Escobedo confines his attention almost exclusively to mines. His brother, Jose Maria, is one of the largest real-estate owners in the city. In one locality he has 2,000 tenants of the poorer class, and his rent roll amounts to $l5O a day. A branch of the family owns a hacienda eighteen miles long and five miles wide below the city. \\ hen the Escobedos think corn is getting too cheap they run a little corner and tie up 3,000,000 bushels in their granaries until the market sti Tens.— Zarate as Leiter. Where the Marbles Come From. Nearly all the common marbles which drag down the pockets of the boys of our land are made in Oberstein, Germany. They are made from the refuse of the agate and stone quarries in that neighborhood. The stone is broken into small cubes by blows of j a light hammer. These small blocks ' of stone are thrown by the shovelful ! into the hopper of a small mill, formed of a bed stone, having its surface grooved with concentrated furrows; above these is the “runner,” which is made of hard wood, having a level face on its lower surface. The upper block : is made to revolve rapidly; water being j delivered upon the grooves of the bed ! stone where the marbles are being , rounded. It takes about fifteen min- | utes to finish a bushel of good marbles, i ready for “snapping.” One mill will turn out 170,600 marbles per week. The very hardest “crackers,” as the boys call them, are made by a slower process, somewhat analogous, however, to the other.— Syracuse Standard. Keeping Pigeons. Grain and seeds compose the food of pigeons, but they prefer worms when the young are feathering, or some kind of animal food. Corn, -wheat and buckwheat are excellent, and a salt codfish should be hung whore they can pick it. Millet and hemp seeds are delicacies and highly relished. Pop corn is better than any other variety of t orn for them. Pigepns will not eat food that has been fouled, and they must have plenty of sand and gravel in the loft, as well as ground oyster shells. Give plenty of fresh water at all times. If the pigeons are given a high loft, they may be confined in wire-covered runs, whore they will mate and breed, as I well as safe from hawks and boys, but ; in order to be. successful the floor and ! nests must bo kept very clean, or lice | will got in the flock and cause a loss of i the young ones. To guard against lice | is the most important duty connected I with raising pigeons.— Agri ullural Journal. A rswful Precaution. It is a useful precaution (ortho tourist, tho commercial traveler, or the emigrant to tho West, to take along Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Invalids who travel by steamboat or rail should provide themselves with it, in order to prevent or remedy tho nausea which tho jarring and vibration of vehicles in transitu often causes them. Vastly preferable is it for this simple, but needful purpose, to the heady unmodicate I stimulants of commerce. On board ship, it not only remedies sea-sickness, but neutralizes tho pernicious effects of water slightly brackish, which, if unqualified, is apt to give rise to irregularities of the bowels, cramps in the nbdcminal region, and dyspepsia. To the aerial poison of malaria it is an efficient antidote. Sick headache, heartburn, and wind upon tho stomach, are promptly banished by it. It healthfully stimulates the kidneys and bladder, and nullifies tho early symptoms of rheumatism. Experiments with dogs show that their keen sense of smell enables them 1 to detect or discover persons by this ' sense alone. Such experiments prove • that not only do we all have looks peculiar to ourselves, but that each indi- । vidual has a distinctive odor about his person which is being continually given ; oft'as are the odors of flowers. Human beings are by no means unsusceptible ‘ to the influences of these bodily odors, ’ and perhaps they have more influence than we suspect in causing one person to be attracted toward or repelled from 1 another. Perhaps we do not know what we miss in this lack of keen de- । velopment of one of the five senses, but, on the other hand, perhaps we are well off as we are.— Dr. Foote's Health Monthly. The circulation of the blood was discovered by Michael Servitus, a French physician, in 1553, rediscovered by Cisalpinus in 1569, and more complete- , ly by Harvey in 162 J . Closed carriages began to be used by persons of the highest quality in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The Correct Time. There are very few meu who do not pride themselves on always having the correct time, and wonderful and delicate mechanisms are devised to enable them to do so. But the more delicate a chronometer is made the more subject it becomes to derangement, and unless it be kept always perfectly clean it soon loses its usefulness. What wonder, then, that the human machine—so much more delicate and intricate than any work of man—should require to be kept thoroughly cleansed. The liver is the mainspring of this complex etructure, and on tho impurities left in tho blood by a disordered liver depend most of the ills that flesh is heir to. Even consumption (which is lung scrofula) is traceable to the imperfect action of this organ. Kidney diseases, ekin diseases, eick headache, heart disease, dropsy, and a long catalogue of grave maladies have their origin in a torpid or sluggish liver. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, by establishing a healthy, normal action of the liver, acts as a cure and preventive of these diseases. By a wise provision of Providence, close beside the little tree on which nutmegs grow often stands a greater.— Texas Siftings. SSOO Reward Is offered, in good faith, by the manufacturers of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy for a case of catarrh which they cannot cure. It is mild, soothing, and healing in its effects, and cures “cold in the head,” catarrhal deafness, throat ailments, and many other complications of this distressing disease, 50 cents, by druggists. _ A north of England ferryman has the following motto; “No crown, no cross!” If Sufferers from Consumption, Scrofula, Bronchitis, and General Debility will 1 try Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil with Hypophosphites, they will find immediate relief and permanent benefit The Medical I rofession universally declare it a remedy of the greatest value and very palatable.
