STREWN WITH WRECKS. Many Lives Lost and Property Damaged by a Gale on the Coast A St Johns (N F.) telegram says: "Reports daily arriving from all parts of the country go to show that the gale of the 26th of August was one that will long be remembered for the loss of life and extent of damage sustained from it. At and wound the Island of fct. Pierre the gale raged in all its fury. One hundred thousand dollars will not cover the extent of damages to property sustained by New foundland vessels that were on the banks during the storm. Dories swept away, anchora slipped and lost, sails split and torn, lines, twines, and trawls lost and abandoned, is the daily report, and many a vessel arriving has even a sadder record totell of how those who went forth in the morning never had a chance of returning, but were swallowed up in the pitiless storm cr driven to sea to die of starvation. Nor

are the south and west portions of the coast (he only places that have suffered. A telegram from Tilt Cove gives the first report from Labrador of the gale, and it states that from the places so far heard from as many as ten schooners have been lost, but, fortunately, no lives.9

THE HADDOCK MURDER. Munchrath's Jury Chosen Fifty Men Examined Before Final Selections Were Made. A Sioux City (Iowa) special says: A jury has finally been impaneled in the Haddock murder case, in which Fred Ifunchraih, Jr., is defendant. Something over fifty men were examined before the panel was filled. The State and defense exhausted all their peremptory challenges. The personnel of the jury is as follows: One druggist, one merchant, two under takers, one gardener and seven farmers. The Jury is considered much better than the one which tried John Arensdorf, and it is believed that a verdict will be rendered in accordance with the evidence, though some think the jury will hang in any event. The defendant looks haggard and careworn,' and it is thought that before the trial is over he will tell what he knows and place the crime on the right man. He was made oomewhat of a scapegoat at the Arensdorf triaL There is little question but he knows of the incidents leading to the murder and was near the scene of the tragedy when it occurred.

The arrival in Washington of Congressmen Randall and Scott, of Pennsylvania, has given a fresh impulse to the talk of expected agreements among the Democratic leaders on some method oi tariff and revenue reform. The State Convention of the Prohibitory party, hold at Worcester, was the biggest delegate gathering ever hold by the party in Massachusetts. It was composed of 857 delegates, representing ll'O cities and towns. Its proceeding were animated from first to last by an intense bitterness against the Republican party. W. H.

GENERAL.

Advices from Valparaiso say cholera has been raging in Angol. There were thirty cases in the lazaretto at Concepcion and about fifty in private houses, Reports from the rural districts are vague and unreliable. The epidemic has been much more disastrous than it has been reported. It is now sweeping northward. Don Carlos de Bourbon of Spain has been magnificently entertained during his visit, and hi stay in Chili was one continuous round of festivities. The Bolivian Government has sent a new Prefect to Benito to endeavor to suppress the Indians who are in open revolt. Three more tribes have joined the movement, and many whites have succumbed. If the government does not act promptly all the settlements on the Beni will be destroyed. An Eau Claire (Wis.) dispatch says: "Instructions have been received at the United States Land Office at this place regarding the opening of the Wisconsin Central and Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha indemnity lands to settlement by homestead and pre-emption entry.. The lands restored are those within the twenty-mile limit of the Central and Omaha Hues not previously selected and approved, and comprise about 325,000 acres, mo.it of which is valuable pine lands. Entries will not be allowed until thirty days' notice has been published, and the railway companies are allowed thirty days to show cause why the entries should not stand. Great excitement prevails, and a scramble will take place when the entries are receivable." A Washington dispatch says the Laud Department has restored to" public en'ry the indemnity lands of the Atlantic and Pacific Boad branch from Van Buren, Arkansas, westward, and also on part of the main line in Missouri. The President of the United Slates at Washington City, on Monday, the 5ta inst., congratulated the country upon the presence at the capital of "so many of our own citizens, and those representing foreign countries, who have distinguished themselves in the science of medicine. n He was referring in these complimentary terms to the five or six thousand doctors gathered in Washington to attend tha Ninth International Medical Congress, which body President Cleveland, afier the brief remark quoted, proceeded to declare

'open for organization and the transaction '

cf business." li e Congress elected Dr. Nathan Smith Davis, of Chicago, as President. In his speech Dr. Davis pt.id an eloquent tribute of respect to Dr. utin Flint, of New York, who died early last ear. A hundred vico-presidents were elected, including all the foreign delegates sent by their respective governments. The only Americans on the list were ex-Presidents of the American Medical Association, and tie surgeons general of the army and navy.

Ottawa (Ontario) special: "As a result of the appointment of the Fisheries Commission by the British Government to settle the fishery disputes between Canada and the United States without consulting the Dominion authorities, it is stated in the highest official circles that it lis Sir John Macdonald's intention to repudiate and ignore any decision that may be arrived at, owing to the fact that neither he nor his cabinet was consulted. That there is trouble brewing is apparent to the most casual observer. The affair is likely to culminate in some sort of rupcure between Great Britain and her largest colony." A Was bington dispatch credits Secretary Bayard with saying that be had great reatton to hope that a fair and final settlement would be reached of the differences which had always existed between this country and Great Britain over the fisheries since 1818, and a final settlement of which differences had never been reached as yet. Advices from St. John, N. B., state that the protection cruiser Intrepid captured an American schooner fishing within the threemile limit of Campobello, N. B., and took her into port. The Distillers and Cattle-Feeders9 Trust, called the Whisky Trust for short, it now

now several good reasons for believiag that Jay Gould will acquire, within & very short time, sot only the telegraph, but Mr. Mack ay's Commercial cable as well, and the thousands of miles of Und lines that Mr. Mackay practically owns. Negotiations looking to a union between the Gould and Mackay interests have been in progrens for some time. There is, therefore, every prospect that Mr. Mackay's b:oad scheme of a big cable and telegraph competition in the interest of the general public will go the way of smaller and earlier enterprises." The visible supply of grain is reported as follows: Wheat, 30,687,129 bushels; corn, 0,836,350 bushels; oats, 4,734,085 bushels. The losses by fire in the United States and Canada during August were $8,317,500, against $13,000,000 for- the same month last year.

San Salvador. The garrison was be

trayed by two of the otflcerfii. The fight ihtk - An . v. j nr. the son of an internal

FOREIGN. The Irish National League meeting fit Ennis, Ireland, on Sunday, ended without the expected riot. Ten thousand people assembled, but the hill at which the meeting was to be held was guarded, and the procession halted and speech m were raadt from carriages. A troop of hussars caused

the crowd to return to Enniis. where an- ! nt ri

other sneech was made. Thev were fol

lowed by the troops and police , and finally dispersed quietly. A theatek took fire at Exeter, England,, during a performance, and was almost totally destroyed. A Iiondou dispatch. says : The fire start 3d in tbe Hie during tbe fourth act of the play. When the flames were discovered a drop scene was lowered to prevent the ourrent of air from increasing the blaz0. Alter this -was done the actors and stage hands tlirew open a door to make their escape when the draft caused tbe names to burst through to the drop scone and ignite the woodwork of the gallery. The flames overtook the hied moat of the unfortunate people, who were wsdged in. the corridor and stairway, ancl literally roasted them alive. There -was no escape lor them, the Are being at their backs, and a compact immovable mass of human beings in front. The firemen reached the upper windows and took out all of the people they could find, but most ot them were dead, and many others died sooa after they were taken out. The surgeons in the hospitals revived a few persons who were thought to be dead from suifocation, but by 4 o'clock in the morning nearly a hundred corpses laid in rows on the floor, and these did not comprise the total number of the dead, as a great many bodies wore burned to ashes in the theater. Borne of the dead were simply suffocated and not at all mutilated or burned. The oooupanta of the dreHs circle escaped without injury, the injured and dead being confined to the pit and the upper circles. The building was destroyed. One hundred and thirty bodies are known to be inside or out ot the theater walls thus far. Of these 100 were men and boys and thirty women la. soore or more of the injured were taken to the hospital and a lurgo number were taken to their homes. This French Government and press are pleased with the success of the experimental mobilization of an army corps. The opinion prevails, it is said, that if France had been equally ready in 1870 there wonld have been no Sedan. Gbeknway, Smith & Gueenway's Bank, at Warwick, England, has failed.

As a rule, man and wife should not discuss questions upon which their riewa aire radically opposed. I think the aveirage married person will understand this, without my taking space hre to say why.

Cable dispateh front Ixfcxdoa. There are still many things te be cleared np yet before it can be anderstood here how bo many score of people were incinerated in the Royal The iter in ExeterAlthough ia the reports fiom the scene ot the calamity only one exit from the gal lory is mentioned, the architect of the edit fice soys that there were threeas he says "broad and palatial. From the very latest: and most authentic reports which harereach here it is clear thiA many of the victims were suffocated, and not burned todeath as has been stated. The number of victims still remains uncertain. It may never be known absolutely, but the loss of life is at least 150 and "it; may possibly be as high as 200. line-tenths of those who perished were occupants of thegallery, the others being from the pit and the upuer boxes- Not quite five-sixths of the victims perished in the staircase lead ing from the gallery to the iitreet, the only means of exit open from the gallery. It was of stone with stone walls and had a& iron railing running along on one side. Ii had four distinct turns and was in fact a spiral descent. The result vaa that as people madly rushed down they became holies sly jammed and crushed at each turn. In their frantic attempts to free themselvee the limbs of some appear to have been torn olf, and in other cases fractured. At eachbond or angle was forad a pile of e srred human remains. A high pcet abvu half way down the winding passage was iiuother fatal obstruction to the free passage of the terror-stricken crowd. But for the windows in the statical very few, ihdeed, could have escaped. One of thes opened nposs a leaden roof and the other overlooked the street Several climbed out and leaped te the ground, a distance of fourteen feet, or were rescued by fire escapes. Out of 190 persons known to have been in the gallery, very few escaped by the dcor. Surprise and indignation are expressed that in a modern building there should have been but one exit from the gallery and that of such an unsatisfactory character. The victims ware mootly working people. Daylight revealed an appall ing sight. In a ahed at the back of the Loudon Hotel thedead bodies wervlaid in rws of about tw enty each awaiting identifies tion. Crowds flocked to Guildhall as early as six o'clock fox tickets to admit them to the yard to look fox missing relatives and friends. While the melancholy work of viewing the bodies went on the polio? were continually bringing in shapeless human remains. By de grees the ehed floors of adjoining stables were filled with the morilated trunks, and the limbs discovered as the work of search proceeded were laid out on straw in tha open yard. In only a very few caties cim the bodies be identified by their countenances. Ia. one comer of the yard is a heap of calcined bodies and burnt rags. The scenas in the inclosure were most harrowing. Women fainted as they recognized ? by soma familiar token thei lost ones, and their lamentations were heartrending. Among the last of the bodies brought in was thai of a father, beneath whom was found his child, only a few weeks old. The position of the arms showed that the i6or man waa doing his best to save the iiU ant when ha fell. The bodies of women are in some cases only to be distinguished by their wedding-rings. As the search proceeded it became only too evident that the loss of life was not confined to the ftallery oeca pants. Lives were lost in the pit, where a terrible crush took place, and in the up per circle. Many charred bodies were re covered from the gallery ealoon and second circle saloon. The victims bad apparently become blocked in rushing for the baU conies. The charred remains of twenty per sonn were discovered in one heap. A mother, father, and child were found clasped in one embrace. Several whole families numbering from two to five lost their lives. The number of persons severely injured is sixty, and it is reared that tie death list will reach 140.
