Parker, one of New York's most prominent jurists, died at Albany, after a short illness, at the age of 84 j years. He was one of tbe directors of t the unfortunate City Nat onal Bank. The troubles there worked heavily on his mind. He was born in Connecticut. He held several judicial positions, being twenty-four years a Justice in the Supreme Court. He held the office of Congressman and Assemblyman in that Stite, and twice ran for Governor, both times being defeated by a Republican. A movement has been inaugurated in New York to secure 1,900,000 signatures to a memorial to be sent to the Czer of Russia, asking that he look into and seek to ameliorate the condition of the exiles in Siberia, By the explosion of the boiler of a Reading Railroad engine, nenr Shamokin, Pa., Engineer Hoglegenz and Fireman Kauffman were instantly killed and Conductor Yeager fatally injured.

John Crouch, a farmer, his wife, ami son Andrew, aged ' thirty-five years, living in that borough, j were found dead at ti eir home, with their I throats cut from ear to ear. The son's 1 head was terribly bruised, showing evi- ■ deuce of a struggle with tne murderers, i The appearance of tbe house indicated ■ that 11 thorough search of the premises I had been made, as thonghto obtain plunder. The Crouch family were among the most respectable and well-to-do people of I the community, and were supposed to have laree sums of money about the house. There is no clue to the murderers. A New Y’ork dispatch says: Judge Wallace of the United States Circuit Court, in the suit of David Armstrong, the jeeeiver of the Fidelity National Bank of Cincinna’i, Ohio, against the Chemical ; National Bank, his entered a decree ordering the payment by the defendant to the complainant of the sum of $271,895. The suit was brought May 31, 1888, to recover the b dance due on lollaterals given for an unpaid loan in excess of the amount ' lo ned. At Worcester, Mass., the wife and i daughter of President G. Stun’ey Hall, of Clark University, were suffocated by escaping gas. At Lowell, Mass., Ernest N. Rice, aged 16, and Perry Ross, 17, sons ot respectable parents, are under arrest for | burglary, having robbed A. S. Lyon’s house of a watch and jewelry. Tbev turned on the gas to render the inmates insensible, aud wonder i< expressed that the entire family escaped death ly asphyxiation. A Scranton, Pa., special says: There was much excitement throughout the I valley over a report that thirty-five Itai- ( ian laborers had been buried alive by a culm dump at Olyphant, six miles from ; Scranton. The accident, however, was i not so serious, but three men have been ' killed. The men were employed on a construction train on the Ontario, Car- I bondale <t Scranton Railroad. ’1 hey were filling tbe ears from a dump 200 feet high. The train had just backed in. As five men Ind clambered over the cars and reached the loading platform an ava- > lanche occurred. Three of the men were i driven against the cars, covered’ up, and ■ smothered. The other two were thrown upon the cars and badly hurt. Nelson H. Davis, Brigadier General, , U. S.A., retired,died at Governor’s Island, N. Y. He had just arrived upon the I island to visit friends, and was apparently ! in good health. On entering Gen. Tomp- ; kins’ office he was stricken down by an apoplectic fit and expired. New York’s Grand Jury has found indictments against Excise Commissioners James Fitzpatrick, Joseph Koch, and ' Alexander Meakin, charging misdemeanor in neglecting to investigate certain alleged violations of the election laws which were reported by the City j Reform Club. During the performace of Lee’s cir- : cus. at Kingston, N. Y., a section of the >*»erved seat gallery fell, carrying down several hundred persons and causing I great excitement. Many persons were cut and bruised, but the only severe injury was to a man whose leg was broken. The proprietor settled with the injured 1 persons on the spot. The Osborn House in Atlantic City. ; N. J., caught fire the other night and was partly consumed. Tbe hotel was but recently opened for the summer season, and is one of the largest in the to” n.

The Plattsburg bank of Plattsburg, ! Missouri, has closed its doors and made . an assignment of all its effects to Beatty O'Connor. Tbe b nk has always been considered in a sound tinancia condition, and the assi; nment c u«ed considerable surprise aud talk. The c shier is authority for the vtntement that the liabilities are but $49,000. The assets consist of $59,000 in notes and $25,000 worth of unincumbered real estate. Too much leal estate and a falling off in business is ■ the cause assigned.

His home is Nebraska, but his crime was committed while visiting in Florida last winter. He fell in with gamblers and lost. His companions advised him to rob the mails to pay his losings. He did so. and, playing with tbe surplus, his luck returned, so that he was able to return with a full purse. No clew to the robber had been found, but Palmer is n Catholic and confessed bis crime to his priest. The latter advised him to return and acknowledge the crime, as some one else ' might bo arrested for thealeed if he did not. Acting upon this advice, he was convicted. The M inona (Minn.) Mill Company's flouring mill and elevator have been destroyed bv tire, with 25,000 bushels of wheat enl 1,200 barrels of flour. The 10-s is figured at $309,000, with $200,090 insurance, mostly in mutual companies.

Small fruits, where exposed, were nearlv all killed. Vegetables on the low lauds were badly injured. Corn is injured in many localities, and where frozen to the ground will be totally destroyed. A Kansas City telegram reports lieu vv frosts in portions of Kansas and Missouri. Strawberries, grapes and berries of all kinds are completely destroyed and garden vegetables frozen to the ground. At El Dorado the thermometer registered below freezing. The wheat crop was considerably Injured aud fruits and vegetables wer* also hurt. At Atchison wheat was damaged considerably and some fields that ba j begun to bloom were ruined. The frost was very heav v at EmjH*ria, but seems not to have done much damage except to vegetables.

A Louisville, Ky., dispatch says: Over 12,000 people cheered the ail-winter favorite, Riley, home, as he won the Kentncky Derby—not only in brilliant atvle but ju-t as he pleased, nothing being in it at tbe finish but the winner, who literally walked away from his field. The Rev. Dr. A. Blackford, Presbyterian mitisicnary to Brazil, died at Atlanta, Ga. He was en route to the Geusral Assembly nt Saratoga.

A Frankfort Ky. dispatch siys: The Democratic caucus held to nominate a candidate for the United States Senate to fill out the unexpired term of the late Hon James B. Beck was short, yet lull of interest and excitement. Immediately rpon the assembly of the caucus, the withdrawal ot ex-Gov. Knott and Hon. Evan T. Settle was announced, after which a ballot was taken, resulting in Carlisle receiving 52 votes, Lindsay 33, and McCreary 39. The name of ex-Gov. McCreary was then withdrawn, which left the conte-t between Carlisle and Linds iv. The second ballot resulted: Carlisle 72, Lindavs 43. and Carlisle was declared the nominee of tc A ]>arty. A committee was then appointed consisting of Hon. James Mulligan, who nominated Carlisle, and Hon. t iaude Thomas, who seconded the nomination, to notify the successful candidate of his victory. They escorted him into the Sen te chamber amid great applause, and Mr. Carlisle made a brilliant speech accepting the nomination. ACROSS THE OCEAN. In the Italian Chamber of Deputies Premier Crispi stated that the policy of the Dreibund was unchanged. It was a policy of peace and menaced no one, being solely of a defensi-e cjarnct^r. In referrini to the African estimates Sig. Crispi said he was confident there would soon be formed au Italian E Ist African company.

persons were drowned. A Boston, Mass., dispatch reports that the steamer City of Macon, from Savannah, brings Cook Polaski of the schooner Hattie Clark of Gloucester, he having been found drifting in an open boat. Polaski says the schooner capsized in a squall Thursday, and he believes all on board except himself were lost. The crew consisted of Capt. Lane and five men besides Polaski. A St. Petersburg c ible says: The city of Tomsk, West Siberia, has been almost totally destroyed by flood and fire, involving the loss < f many thousands. The Berlin police are permifflig the return home of persons exiled under the socialist laws. Thomas McCheanf, United States I consular agent at Portsmouth, England, committed suicide. A Havana cable says: A fire broke out ' in Ysasi’s hardware store, and in a short time the flumes reached a barrel of pow<’er in the building and a terrific explosion followed. The whole structure was blown to pieces and thirty-four per-ons were killed. In addition to the killed, over 100 persons are injured. The explosion caused the wildest excitement throughout the city, and thousands flocked to the scene of the disasfer. The GovernorGeneral, the Civil Governor, ai d all the principal authorities of the city were promptly on the ground and did everything in their power to aid the injured and calm the grief-stricken relatives of the victims. Several houses adjacent to the wrecked buildings were damaged by the explosion. Gangs of men are at work on the debris. Many human limbs have been taken from the ruins. The relatives of missing persons supposed to be in the ruins are gathered on the spot and as the bodies are brought out the scenes are most distressing. Ysasi, the proprietor of the wrecked hardware store, has been arrested. It is feared that there are several more victims in tho ruins. Over the theaters, aud the Chamber of Commerce, ■ and many other buildings flags are hanging at half-mast. Everywhere are signs of mourning.

Mrs. Blaine wearing a handsome reception toilet, and Miss . Hattie and Mrs. Emmons Blaine in white gowns. I The ceremony was performed in the. large drawing-room on the second floor of the Blaine residence, beneath a floral bower, erected for the occasion.

The bride wore a toilet of heavy white silk, draped with crepe de chine. Tho wedding trousseau is elaborate in every ; detail, as Mrs. Blaine has the New England ideas of starting a bride on her I new journey with a tine supply of house- | hold as well as personal linen. Tho । housekeeping linen has all been woven i on special hand-looms by a firm in । T rance. Tho table linens bear tho new- j est designs, prominent among them being the flour do Ils.

He had telegraphed to the West Virgi*ia ; papers denouncing Campbel) as a liar aucf perjurer. Since the gentleman from Pennsylvania constituted himself the conduit ’pipe through which this attack of Campbell found iU way i into the Record, since the Cnair has said that the way a citizen who may feel aggrieved can get into the Record is by the indorsement ■ of (a. member of the House, I have timply ! to say wliat I did the other day, knowing full well the meaning cf the words, and that I was responsible for them, denounce Mr. Campbell as a liar and perjurer. I want to say now that I accept and am willing to believe that I have as great confidence in the character of Mr. Campbell us i havein the character of the gentleman who makes this attack upon me.
