THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Their Wonderful Growth During: the Last Decide. COMMISSIONER O ? EDUCATION DAWson, in his annual raport, says that during the decade from 1876 to 1SS7 the growth of the public school system has outstripped the increase in population 1.6 per oent. The g lin is mainly in the South, where the school system shows an unparalleled development. The colored citizens are apportioned an equal share of the school funds, unless in the State of Delaware, and their scoools are kept open as long ar d under as well paid teachers as those of the white chiluren. The funds for the support of these schools are furnished mainly by the white inhabitants, and after making due allowance for all the sums that have been famished for the education of the negroes through private sources and. through the taxes raised among themselves, it may still be said that the children of these once held in servitude in the South are being educated by the sons of uheir former masters. HORROR IN JAPAN. Ten Thousand Orientals Meet Death in Floods.

Japanese papers received at San Francisco place the total number of persons drowned in the floods of Aug. 20 in the city of Wakayamo and in the districts of Minami-Muro, Higashi-Maro, Nishi-Muro, and Eidoka at 10,000, and the number of persons receiving relief at 30,425. The river Kinokum swelled from thi rteen to eighteen feet above the norma!, level and the village of Iwahashi was washed away. About forty-eight other hamlets were covered by the raging waters. The morning of Aug. 19 an enormous mass of earth fell from a mountain near the village of Tennokawa, stopped the course of the river of the same name, which, bein swollen, overflowed, submerging the village and drowning nearly all the inhabitants.

FOUR JURORS SWORN IN. After Eighteen Leys Work a Third of the Jury Is Secured. Fotjb jurors in th a Cronin case at Chicago have at last been secured. They are James Piersca cf Glenwood, farmer; John Culver of Evanston, real estate dealer; James L. Hall of Fernwood, architectural draughtsman; and Charles . Dix, 132 North Carpenter street, fire insurance agent. It is a curious coincidence that each of these men was originally tendered by the defense. KILLED IN THEIR HOME. Biz ICeaben of a Jealsh Family in Hungary Slain by Bobbers. Thx residence of a Jewish family of aix persons, in Szathmar, Hungary, was entered by a band of robbers. The outlaws attacked the inmates with hatchets, mutilating them in a fearful manner and killing tne entire party. When their bloody work was Unshed they searched the house and car ried oft all the valuables. MORE YELLOW FEVER ARRIVES. Landing in Brooklyn of a Finn Afflicted with the Dread Disease. Isaac Elonex, a 32-year-old Finn, has landed in Brooklyn from the steamer Alvo, from Costa Bica. He was sick from yellow fever. The man who was -taken from the Fonda a few days ago, and who died, as it is thought, from yellow fever, was Joseph Pennell, a native of Kansas, where it is said he left a family. Arrival of the ( hints Ambassador. Among the arm als at San Francisco on the steamer Gaelic from Hong Kong and Yokohama wis Tuey Gwok Ting, recently appointed Chinese ambassador to the United States, who is en route to Washington. He is accompanied by a large delegation of Chinese dignitaries. Total Wreck in Kansas. By the derailing of a train on the "Frisco" line, neax Leon, Kan., one man

was instantly killed. Over a dozen other

passengers were injured, four of whom it is thought were fatally hurt. Priza Fighter Held for Murder. Ed Aheabn, tho principal in a fatal prize fight at St. Louis, has been held without bail to answer a charge of murder. The referee, lime-keepers, seconds, etc., have been held as accessories.

the capital stock be increased from $10,000,000 to $12,500,000. The funeral of Congressman Samuel Sullivan Cox took place from the First Presbyterian Church at New York, the floral tributes being magnificent. Vice President Morton ex-President Cleveland, ex-Gov. Hoadly, and other distinguished citizens were present. The remains were interred in Greenwood Cemetery. A passenger train on the Baltimore & Potomac Railroad collided with a freight train at the navy yard tunnel at "Washington. The engineer of the passenger train was killed and a number of persons were injured. During a game of cards in an It-ilian boarding-house in Pittsburg, Pa., Giovanni Franceschiello stabbed his brother Michele in the body four times with a large knife, killing him instantly. He then forced the other Italians to let him pass from the house by threatening to kill them, and escaped in the darkness, but was recaptured. An excursion train from Elmira, N. Y., south, carrying seven coaches, ran into a Fallbrook engine, at Tioga Junction, causing a fearful wreck, killing and injuring in all about twenty-five persons. The train was coming down a heavy

grade, and owing to the slippery track and the refusal of the air brakes to work the engineer -was unable to stop the train at the station, and it rushed by, crashing into one of the Fallbrook heavy jumbo engines, completely demolishing both. The smoker and three passengercars were smashed into kindling wood. The wreck caught fire and it was with difficulty that some of the passengers were rescued from tho burning wreck. Stretchers were quickly provided and the wounded were earned to neighboring houses. The names of the dead are: Eugene Daighue, newsboy; Harry Oliver, of Union, N. Y. The wounded number over a score. Della "Walker, aged J9 years, drowned herself at Langdon, N. H. The cause is a mystery. She was nn intimate

friend and classmate of two young ladies who committed suicide last winter. The two Nicely brothers, who were confined in jail at Somerset, Pa., under sentence of death for the murder of Farmer Hamburger, overpowered the Sheriff, and when the Deputy Sheriff went to his assistance one of the brothers, who had obtained possession of the Sheriff's revolver, shot the Deputy, inflicting a serious wound. The murderers then made their escape and have not been recaptured. The breast of the large dam of the Kennebec Ice Company atHibernia, Pa., burst, and a tremendous amount of. water' rushed down the Brandywine, overflowing the banks and sweeping everything before it. The large bridge which

crosses tne .brandywine just below the dam was swept away, and several frame buildings were carried down to CoatesvUle. Several of the streets of CoatesvUle are four feet under water. The people Uving along the stream were warned by the sound of the rushing waters and escaped to the hills. So far as heard from no lives have been lost. In places the meadows are covered to the depth of eight and ten feet. The break was caused by a heavy fall of rain. At a convention of piano and organ manufacturers in New York, for the purpose of forming a protective association, a committee, headed by George A. Steinway, was appointed to consider plans, perfect the organization, and induce manufacturers to join it. Near Shamokin, Pa., Alfred Crow and John Tocas were fatally, and John Murphy and William Calvin seriously, burned by an explosion of gas in the Neilson shaft. The explosion was caused by Toe a 9' carelessness. The will of the late Professor Elias Loomis, of New Haven, Conn., bequeaths the bulk of the estate, valued at from $250,000 to $300,000, to Yale University, to be known as the Loomis Fund. This is the second largest gift ever made to Yale.

WESTERN HAPPENINGS. The Firemen's Association, in convention at Kansas City, Mo., elected these officers: President, George C. Hale, of Kansas City; Secretary, H. A. Hills, of Cincinnati; Treasurer, Chief D. C. Larkin, of Dayton, Ohio. The convention then adjourned to meet next year at Detroit. A bronze statue of Gen. Grant, cast a year ago after Mr. Taft's design, has been unveiled at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. While Sunday school services were being held in a small frame church five miles south of Columbia City, Ind. , lightning struck the spire and coursed down through the roof, striking and instantly killing two girls, each aged 17, who were sitting together in the center of their class. The ten other children in the class were badly stunned, but not seriously injured. The names of the children were Mary Hockemeier and Agnes Frey r. The other inmates of the building did noo experience any shock. The stage between Forest Hill and Auburn, C ah, was stopped by one masked man, who demanded Wells. Fargo & Co. 'a treasure box. The box wa given nira and he escaped with it. It is not known how much it contained. At San Francisco, in the Nagle habeas corpus case; Judge Sawyer has decided that the Federal Court had jurisdiction in the matter, that the killing of Teny was justifiable, and ordered Nagle released from custody. As soon as the reading of the decision was concluded Attorney Lang home, on behalf of the State, gave notice of an appeal, and usked that the prisoner be placed under bail. Judge Sawyer allowed the defendant to be released on his own recognizance with a $5,000 bail. Nagle was congratulated by a large number of people after his release. Governor Thayer of Nebraska has issued a proclamation quarantining Nebraska against the importation of cattle from Logan and AVeld Counties, Colorado, because there is said to be Texas fever in that region.

Washington, IX C, Sept.

To tne President : The differences which exat between tho Secretary of the Interior and myself aa to the policy to be pursued in tho administration .f the

Pension Bureau have readied a atage v men threatens to embarrass you to au extent which I feel I should not call upon you to suffer, and as the invefitigation into the affairs of the bureau have been completed, and I am assured, both by yourself and by tho Secretary of the Interior, contains no reflection on my intefpity as an individual or as an officer, I herewith place my resignation in your hazels, to take effect at your pleasure, to the end that you may be relieved of any further embarrassment in the matter. Very respectfully yours, Jamks Tannku, Commissioner. Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C. ) September l'2t 1S39. i Xo Hon. Jamea Tanner, Commissioner of Pensions : Dear Sir Your letter tendering your resignation of tho otfice of Commissioner of lensions has been received and your resignation is accepted, to take effect on tile appointment and qualification of your successor, I do not think it necessary, in this correspondence, to discuss the causes which have led to the presont attitude of affairs iu the Pension Otlico. You have been kindly and fully advised of my vJom'b upon most of these matters. It gives 3iio pleasure to add that so far as I am advised your honesty has not at any time been called into question and I beg to renew the expression of my personal good-will. Very truly yours, Benjamin Habkison. POLITICAL PORRIDGE. Major William Warner of Kansas City will not be the next Pension Commissioner. He was tendered the position, and after thinking it all over ho told the President at Deer Park that he could not accept it for business reasons. He was strongly presPed by Mr. Harrison to take the place, and his "declination is a disappointment. Another selection will not probably be made for two or three weeks. The race is an open one, and no candidate has any assurance that he will be chosen. It is the general opinion that Judge John P. Bea, of Minneapolis, is more to the President's liking than any one else, and the Minnesota people are coming to the front for him. Mr. Brown, of Cincinnati; Gen. Powell, of Illinois, and Maj. Poole, of New York, are known to be doing all they can for the place. The New Jersey Republican State Convention nominated General E.B. Grabb for Governor. The resolutions constituting the platform reaffirm the Republican national platform of 1888 and express confidence in President Harrison. The paper deals almost entirely with local interests. The Australian ballot system is indorsed and, without doing so directly, the convention practically declared in favor of local option. ACROSS THE OCEAN. The great strike which has paralyzed London for several weeks, tnd at times

menaced it with riot ond bloodshed, has at last been ended through the mediation of Cardinal Manning. At the final conference, the Cardinal submitted definite proposals from the strikers, the ch:ef point being that the payment of increased wages should commence on Nov. 4, and the terms were accented by the dock companies, after a protracted debate, in which the Cardinal urged the duty of the Directors to concede the demand and thus restore the city to tranquillity. Work will accordingly be resumed at once. There is an almost unanimous agreement of opinion that the a mi cable and mutually creditable settlement of the trouble, now apparently secured, is entirely due to the untiring erTortsand great sagacity of Cardinal Manning, who voluntarily took the part of mediator between the obstinate contending partiuB. Chakir Pasha, the Governor of Crete, has issued a frtsh proclamation to the Cretans, threatening with severe punishment any one assisting the insurgents. Gen. BotjTjANGEr has issued a violent final manifesto. His lists show 1,800 candidates for 500 nrrondissements. They will entail numerous balloting. The manifesto remains placarded throughout Paris, the Government seemingly being convinced that removal would only increase the publicity given the manifesto. M. Ferry says that the revision of the Constitution means civil war.

FRESH AND NEWSY Searle, the Australian, offers to row Gaudaur, of St Louis, either on the Thames, England, or Paramatta, Australia, for $2,500 a side, allowing the American $500 for expenses. Gaudaur refuses to accept. Okval P. Towxshttnd, Shawneotown, 111.; Seaton N. Jones, Columbia, S. C; George M. Dawey, Jr., Owosso, Mich.; and Lorain S. Richardson, Janesville, Wis., have been appointed cadets at tho West Point Militury Academy. Lulu Island, British Columbia, has been devastated by a whirlwind. Whole forests were uprooted, but no lives were lost. The "Soo road announces a rat3 of $20 from St. Paul to New York and $10 to Boston. This completely wipes out

tho rate between St. Paul and Chicago, and will undoubtedly demoralize Chicago r.ites. Gaudaur and Teemer contested a sculling race at McKeesport, Pa., tho iormer apparently winning. Teemer insists that Hamra, Gaudaur's trainer, purposely fou:ed him to prevent him from winning the race. News of a terrible tragedy that happened at Ship Harbor, N. S., Friday has reached Halifax. A largo number of men were in the woods bunting for moose, vhen one party, consisting of two men named Taylor and Annand, saw at a distance what they tool; to be a moose. One of them fired. Hurrying to the spot they rfound that the single shot had killed two men whom they had mistaken for a moose. The victims were two young men named Mitchell and Webber. The shot had struck one of

It provides for a blanket mortgage of $1(1(1,000,000, of which branch-line bonds will require $20,000,000, tributary roads $13,000,000, and terminal betterments, etc., 34,000,000. The most important feature is a provision to pay a cash dividend cf 1 per cent, on the preferred stock Jan. 1, lfc90, and quarterly dividends thereafter at tho rate of 1 per cent per quarter. It. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: Kcjy;ojy a vrek hai passed since GoTomtnent purffiafies of bonds and heavy pavmentB made the street certain that there could" be no monetary proasure this fall.

The violent storm has disturbed business not a little alon? the sea coast, and affected purchases for the interior, but iu all other respects the week has been one of satisfactory business. Nearly all interior cities report trade as active or improving. Though the Government crop report vas thought slightly unfavorable, other accounts all concur in satisfactory views, and the course of trade at interior points manifests the confidence of local dealers. Tho wool mt.rket is nominally firm, but if manufacturers refuse to buy the expected lorer prices Tvill come. The grocery trade has been much alfected by the weather, and sugar is also weakened by the conviction that a fall inpends. Breadstuff s have been comparatively inactive; wheat in half a cemt higher, and corn a quarter lower. Coffee advanced another half cent, and oil 2 cents, but hegs and lard are lower. On the whole speculation in products is makiug unusually little disturbance this year, and he large crops are therefore all the more likelv to go into consumption promptly and at moderate prices. The business failures during the last seven days number for the United States 170, and for Canada 2a. For the corresponding week of last year the figures were 190 lor the United States and 27 in Cauada. The following weather crop bulletin hai been issued by the signal office: The last week was "warmer than usual over the corn and cotton regions and generally on the Atlantic coast, the daily excess of temperature in the central valleys ranging from 3 to 9 degrees, while on the Atlantic coast about the normal temperature prevailed. It was colder than usual from Dakota westward to the Pad tic coast. There has been less than the unual amount of rain during the week throughout the principal agricultural districts. There were excessive rains over limited area in tho Northwest, including Northern Missouri, Eastern Kansas. Eastern Dakota, Western Minnesota, and Southeastern lova. In the remaining States of tho Upper Mississippi and Missouri Valleys well distributed showers aro reported, while no rain occurred in the lower lake region, the Ohio Valley, and lower Michigan. Tho weather during the week was especially favorably throughout the corn belt. Cutting of corn is in progress and a large percentage ol an excitant corn crop in now safe from frost, liecent rains placed tho grounds in a favorable condition ror plowing in the States of the Mississippi valley, but fall farm work is delayed in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana, owiu,g to the abseuco of rain. The prospects of the cotton croyi have been improved by favorable weather. Keports from Kentucky indicate a fair crop of tobacco if not damaged by frost. The weather conditions were favorable on the 1'acibc coast for hop picking, prune drying, &nd fall seeding.

Over Two Million Dollar Iosa in tne Wholesale lisfcrlct-Flve Flrconei Meet Their JDeatH fn the Flam a Chicago and St. Joe Expositions in a Blaze. A Louisville (Ky.) dispuich says: Six lives were lost and over 2 uftfl ftkl

worth of property destroyed by a fire which reduced the large v holesale dry goods and notion house of Hamburger, Bloom & Co. to ashes. The biggest house of any character in the city is that of Barnburger, Bloom & Co., wholesale dry goods and notions. Their immense store stood on the south side of Main street, between Sixth and Seventh, and was six stories high. Priv ate Watchman Charles McGrath discovered fire in the cellar of the building. The watchman gave the alarm quickly, calling out the entire fire department. Ia the meantime the fire had gained great headway. Bamburger, Bloom & Co. were stocked from basement to roof with dry goods of every description and thus furnished ma terial for the fames. It was evident at once that the big building was doocied and no efforts of the firemen could save it. Ia an hour it was a complete wreck, carrying with it a loss of $750,0 JO in stock and $200,00') in building and nxturea Next door to Bamberger, Bloom &; Co. was the wholesale boot and shoe house of William Coye & Co., with a stock of $50, 000. This was burned out from cellar to roof, but the frot t walls stood. South of this, on the comer of Main and Seventh, the ht. Charles saloon and restaurant was gutted at a loss of $5,000. Immediately east of Bamburger, Bloom &i Co. was the wholesale hav house of L. Eretzfelder & Co. Their building was a four story brick. Tae (iames made quick work of the hats and caps, and left nothing of the building but a skeleton. The saloon of Isaac Bier and the wh olesale cigar store of Virgil Wright, immediately north of Sretzfelder & Co., were gutted. Their loss was comppratively small and was covered by insurance.
