THE CZAR.

LONDON, Sept. 16.—Towards the close of the Paris Bourse, to-day, a rumor was circulated that the Emperor of Russia was dead, but neither the Russian embassy nor the Grand Dukes in PariB have any such news.

THE HOME RULERS J}

LONDON, Sept. 16.—Mitchell Henry, Home Rule Member of Parliament for Gal way, declines having any connection with the scheme for an Irish National Convention. He call it a plan and invitation to the Home Rule League to commit,auicide.

THE TRADE DEPRESSION.

LONDON, Sept. 16.—As proof of the deprefflion in trade, the chairman of the annual Congress of Trades Unions Btated that four of the principal Unions spent £260,000 relieving members during the present year. The short time movement at Oldham has not produced any appreciable effect upon the marfcet for home yarns, .yv. ::j

THE COLLIERS.

LONDON, Sept. 16.—Alexander Macdonald. Member of Parliament for Stafford, and President of the Miners' National Association, addressing a meeting of miners' delegates at Glasgow, advised them to restrict the out-put of coal to ten hundred weight per man daily, and thus checkmate the iron masters for having blown out their furnaces. The meeting approved the course proposed.

WHAT THE TIMES FEARS.

LONDON, Sept. 16.—The Times, in its leading editorial article says: It is not a policy of surrender and withdrawal from Afghanistan that is now really formidable, to the settlement of which the Nation was last year agreed, but rather the movement for annexation and adventure which is to be dreaded and resisted, and which is being deliberately advocated by some who opposed last year's campaign. It is simply wasteof time to s{eculiite upon the significance of certain wordy vaporing# in Russian newspapers, and assertions are certainly not to be accepted without proof, concerning Russian instigation of the massacre.

AN B9CAPED TROOPER'S STORY. SIMLA, Sept. 16.—One of the troopers of Major Cavagnari's escort arrived at Lndi Kholat yesterday. He says that the roof of the British residency at Cabul was commanded by other houses, and was consequently untenable by the besieged, who made a trench outside. At about one o'clock in the afternoon of the day of the massacre, Major Cavagnari received a

-wound from a ricochetting bullet, on his forehead. Mr. Jenkyns, Major Cavag-|he 1 rari's assistant, who arrived at the resiI dene? during the attack, wrote to the 1 Ameer for help, and the Ameer's reply was "God wiliine, I am making arraiigei\

ments." A pievious request from Major Cavagnari had met with the same reply. Mr. Jenkyns wrote again when Major Cavngnari was wounded, but the bearer of the letter was cut to pieces by the mutineers. The trooper then started, but was disarmed and imprisoned. He succeeded in escaping at daybreak on the 4th of September, "and visited the residency, where he saw the corpse of Lieut. Hamilton, commanding the escort of the British mission, lying across a mountain gun. He says that Mr. Jenkyns was with a person called Yahayahah Khan, and he is therefore presumably alive. The escaped trooper saw no troops on the road from Cabul to Jellnlabaa and Dakka, and as far as he knew none were coming. A comrade who was confined in Cabul informed him that Lieut. Hamilton shot three of the mutineers with his revolver and killed two with his sabre. Dr. Kelly, who was connected with the mission, was lying dead inside the residencyMajor Cavagnari was in a room which was burnt, and which had fallen in. His body had not been found. Three native officers of the guards were burned.to death near the residency.

'THE AMEER..3".

LONDON, Seyt. 16.—The military cor respondent of The Times says: It is difficult, in the face of the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, to believe that Yakoob Kahn played an honorable part in the recent shameful deeds at Cabul. It is significant that Major Cavagnari's

Eavedied

rincipal native assistant is believed to a short time before the outbreak, under suspicious circumstances. Being an Afghan and well acquainted with the workings of the Oriental court, his presence in the British residency was dangerous to those plotting the outbreak. 1 LONDON, Sept. 16.—Yakoob Khan has sent another letter to Ali Kheyl, expressing his deep grief and diptress at the recent events* He days he has confidence io the Bi'itish'gOVifrnment, and announces hi# intention to punish the offender5 .. 1 XoNaoN, Sept. 16.—A dispatch pom

YOUNGBTOWN, O., Sepf. 17."—The presidential party left Cleveland for Youngs town on a regular train over the A. & G. W. railway about 7o'clock this morning. The party was accompanied by a large number ot the most prominent citizens and officials of Cleveland and about fifty survivors of the President's old regiment, the twenty-third Ohio. Enroute the President passed through the train shaking hands and talking familiarly with the different members of his regiment. At Salon, the first stopping place after leaving Cleveland, a large crowd had gathered to OATCH A GLIMPSE OF THE PRESIDENT and Gen. Sherman, both of whom appeared on the platform of the car. At Leavittsburg the party were met by the reception committee, composed of the most, prominent men of Makoning county. An immense crowd had assembled at Warren, As the ttain pulled into the depot a salute was fired. The President appeared at the rear door in his car, and

BOWED TO THE CROWD.

As the train moved slowly out of the depot, also at Niles, a very large crowd were in waiting, where another salute was fired. An immense crowd were in waiting for the excursion train, closely followed by the regular train, at all the stations between Youngstown and Cleveland. It seemed as if the Mahoning Valley was emptying its population into Youngstown, to do honor to the distinguished visitors. At Youngstown a salute was fired as the train drew into the station. The President and party were met at the depot with a guard of honor composed of the members of his old command, and escotted to the public square, where the President was introduced by Gaptain Buttsford, of the 23rd Regiment. Mr. Walter L. Campbell, of the Register and Tribuue, delivered an address of welcome.

HIS ADDRESS.

He alluded to what had occurred since the President was here in 1875. Mr. Campbell also paid high tribute to the practical wisdom whibh has attended the present administration, and contrasted the activity in business which prevails in the Mahoning Valley with the DEPRESSION THAT WAS APBARENT

I87S-

He said, criticism is mute before the visible results obtained, and., condemnation of the means is as impossible as judging a man lives in sight of the Capitol,we welcome him as the colonel ot the Twenty-third Regiment of Ohio Volunteers Infantry.

Whose deeds of imperishable renown this-city and county probably claim an interest as in a priceless legacy. We welcome him as an ex-governor ®f our cherished commonwealth,, whose good name he ever jealously maintained, and whose great interests he iaithfully guarded. We welcome him as a conspicuous leader in a momentous struggle, which, put to the proof the good faith of the American people, omit ali the reductions of

A GREAT COMMERCIAL DISASTER, as their physical courage and patriotism had been tried in the presence of an armed rebellion. We welcome him as the ex-relative head, not of a party or fraction or section, but of our whole beloved country, whose unity, ordained by the fathers in the iundamental law, and affirmed by their children in th decision of war he has so earnestly striven to cement with loye. We welcome him as the chief magistrate of the nation whose material prosperity he has been under God, instrumental in promoting and to which he has given an administration sullied by no scandal. We welcome him as the Pretident of the republic, whose constitution he loyally defends, and whose laws he wisely and honestly executes.

The President responded in a brief speech, as follows: HAYES* ADDRESS. 3 '"1^.

Fellow-citizens: 1 am informed by the programme of the committee of arrangements that the principal speaking of the day is to occur this afternoon, it is therefore desirable that what is said here shall be very promptly said, therefore detain you with no extended remarks on any of the topics in the ad dress to Which we have just listened. It is very gratifying indeed to me to be so welcomed by the neighbors and friends of David Tod. Applause). It was my fortune once to speak of him to an audi ence almost as large as this, an audience

FILLED WITH SADNESS,

audience gathered of his old friends at his luneral. and I spoke of him then, or es.

as I still think truly, the best loved citizen of Ohio. [Great Applause" I wish it were possible under the dispensations of Providence, that David Toidd to-day could behold what we now see in the valley which he loved to well, and for which he did so roach, with native

STRENGTH OF INTELLECT,

with original power destined from the beginning to be a great and influential man, and' added to that, a great and a good heart, and he will never be forgotten in the valley where he lived. My friends, as began, I must close, with saying that the speaking will* occur this afternoon. I thank you for the welcome and shall detain you for a moment with the introduction of a man who is wherever the soldiers meet who fought for the Union:

SOLDIER'S RE-UNION.

ORAMD RE-UNION.

tfincinn&ti, Sept. 16.—An inquirer special from Salisbury, N. C., says: A grand reunion of the survivors of the Confederate and Federal armies has been arranged to take-place here on the 3rd of October. Invitations were sent to both armies. Iiieutenant-General Sheridan politely declined on account 6f pressing business engagements. He expressed his hope of the success of the movement. Gen. W, T. Sherman wrote a letter which has created no little excitement. The letter is-as follower

,'j

SHERMANS LETTER.

The time is too remote for me to make a promise, but I assure you that it would be most agreeable to me personally and sociably to meet on any suitable occasion. There is no use in my mincing terms, whenever and wherever the honest men of North Carolina seek to allay sectional and partv animosities,, and to cultivate a feeling otT fraternal respect for his fellow citizens of the United States. It will be to me most tempting to come to Salisbury. I would far prefer to come alone than, .as- before, with a vast army leaving desolation behind, but I must not be construed as assenting to the proposition that Confederates and Union men were alike worthy of celebration tor the terrible history of I86I-'65. I would' much prefer to come on 6ome civic occasion when all are absolutely equal and.all alike interested in the present and future glory of our common country. There were a few Union soldiers in North Carolina during the war though we believe the people generally^ were opposed to secession and I will say that your meeting, if confined to the surviving soldiers of North Carolina, will be in fact at,

CONFEDERATE RE-UNION,

where I would certainly be out of place. All soldiers in their »ocial re unions glorify their deeds of heroism, and this re-union will hardly be an exception and it would be a strange sight for Gen'l. Sherman to cheer the victories of his enemies, and respond to claim that that because the soldier»ot North Carolina were brave and true to their state and section, their cause was as sacred as ours, which finally triumphed and made our union more glorious and more resplendent than before. Were I present, and you should suppress this natural feeling, I would

TEEL MYBWUF AX INTRUDER, tnarting the natural happiness of the occasion. I know that the soldier element was the first to lay aside angry partisan feelings of the war and are now leaders in the new epoch, which is sure to add wealth and prosperity to our whole country, and when some occasion arises-when we may all meet on common ground in North Carolina to celebrate some revolutionary event, or to encourage some modern enterprise, it will give me great pleasure to come to Salisbury, to'Raieigh, to Gilford Court House or any other place in the old North State.

On some of the English horse railroads they are experimenting with glass sleepers. These are made by a process patented by F. Siemens, ot Dresden. Unlike the De la Bastie glass, When broken, the Siemen's product coes not fly into fragments. The sleepers are three feet long, 4 inches wide, by six inches deep and are moulded to fit accurately the rail. Bearing plates are placed undei the joints and the rails are attached tq them. A sleeper resting on support! 30 inches apart, breaks w:th a weight of nve tons. Glass, unlike pine, is practically indestructable by moisture, and is, of course, not so heavy as cast iron. The glass sleepers ens-, about the same as iron
