In the Election Which Took Place Rather Singularly on Sunday.

Stormy Times in. Denmark and Chances of a Revolution.

FRENCH ELECTIONS.

Great Victory For the Conservatives. pARis, Oct. 5.—The results of tlie elections throughout France yesterday for members of the chamber of deputies as far as officially reported up to noon today have created great surprise and chagrin amoDg tho members of th.6 cabinet and their collegues. The conservatives on the other hand are wild with enthusiasm over the fact that they succeeded in polling a much larger vote than the most sanguine anticipated^ and making changes in the cabinet requisite. The returns show that the conservatives have won 60 seats in 17 of the 87 departments and have also beaten two cabinet ministers and made a secona battot necessary to decide the fate of two others. The result of the elections in Lille, Marseilles and Paris have not yet been decided.

PARIS, Oct. 5.—M. Goblet, minister of public instruction, and M. HerveMangon, minister of commerce, are Uhe cabinet officers who have been defeated by the conservatives. The opportunists have lost many seats, which. have been gained by either th© radicals. or conservatives.

TKt DANISH DIET.

Stormy Times Ahead for the King.COPENHAGEN, Oct. 5.—The Diet opened today and it is probable that the session will be the most stormy that the people of Denmark have ever witnessed. The relations of the contending parties are strained to the utmost and

some violent scenes are anticipated as an attempt will be made to force the King to comply with the vote of the Diet at the previous session to dismiss his obnoxious ministers. His Majesty also will probably be a subject of serious discussion for having levied taxes by royal decree when the Diet refused to vote the budget and saying that he was determined to continue to do BO until the representatives of the people returned to a sense' of what he conceives to be their duty. The people throughout Denmark are greatly excited at the arbitrary action of the King. Mayors all over the country refused to levy the illegal taxes tuad numerous political prosecutions have resulted from demonstrations n^'iinwt the government.

Affairs.

DUBLIN, Oct. 5.—The first nation51ist county convention for nominating candidates for seats in Parliament was held at Wicklow today.

He referred to Wicklow's splendid harbor, which he said testified that Irishmen were capable of better work when not fettered by ih9 English government. The remarks of the home rule leader created great enthusiasm.

The Roumelian Rebellion.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 5.—The conference of the ambassadors on the Roumelian question has resulted in a Memorandum being formulated which will be submitted to the Powers for apj proval before being referred to th Porte.

Irishmen to Meet.

PITTSBURG. Oct. 5.—A movement has been started for a public meeting of Irishmen in this city similar to the one held in Chicago Saturday night. Addresses will be delivered by Alexander Sullivan, Justin Mc Carthy and probably J. Boyle O'Reilly.

Van Brunt

gave a decision to day in the case of Rindskopf Bros. & Co., clothing manufacturers, who failed in September 1884 holding that the allegations of fraud on which it was sought to set aside the assignment, had not been sustained. He dismissed the case. [This is the firm on whose paper our Philip Schloss was accommodation endorser for a large amount, by whose failure he was himself forced to assign.]

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.

He Pronounces a Published Letter a Forgery. WASHINGTON. Oct 6.—At the White House to day it is declared that the letter printed by a number of papers this morning upon the New York state election purporting to have been written by the President to a friend in Buffalo is a forgery. The only utterances the President has made on the subject was an answer which he dictated to Col. Lamont, his private secretary, to be made in answer to an inquiry Bent him by a correspondent and was as follows: "The President is a Democrat and it ie strange that any person should question his position. He earnestly desires the success of his party in the pending election in New York state as well as elsewhere, and any assertion to the contrary is utterly and maliciously false."

A CONSTITUTIONAL LAW. l}

Interesting Points of Local Interest Involved in Judge Parrett's Ruling Against the Evansville Teie phone Company.

The ruling of Judge Parrett, of Evansville, decided a case against the Telephone Company of that city that involved some minor points that will be of interest to the public here. &&Hi.

While the attorneys for the cotn^any were arguing on tho pleadings in the case, Judge Parrett informed them that he should hold the law recently passed regulating such companies to be constitutional that the

company,

though a

foreign corporation, was subject in Indiana to the laws of Indiana, and that, though the instrument was patented, it was subjected to the regulation of a State where it was used. In regard to the claim that it was a private corporation, he said that ho had held in favor of the telephone company in a former case that it was a quasi public corporation, and that any other ruling would destroy its interests, The company attorneys failed to make a single point. The Judge gave his decisions promptly and clearly, and it was evident that he had well defined views on the subject.

A Wolf Killed.

MARSHALL, Oct. 4.—For several months farmers in Johnson township have suffered greatly from depredations committed on their hogs and young cattle by some unknown animal.

But on Friday Jnmes Lounsberry, a young man, was Out hunting, when he suddenly came face to face with a large wolf. He at once shot it, and his dog finished the beast.

PLAYED THE GAY BACHELOR.** Mrs. Charles Helmerich Makes it Hot for Her Husband and His Fair Charmer.

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., October 6.—Mrs. Charles Helmerich of Harrisburg has been visiting some friends in this vicinity for several weeks, and she left her husband, who is a traveling man, at home to keep bachelor's hall. Helmerich is a man of about 35 years of age, rather good looking, and is said to be quite a, favorite among the ladies. During his wife's absence he has been having a good time, and yesterday afternoon he started from Harrisburg with a young woman, bound for Elmira. Some of Mrs, Helmerich's friends, who heard of what was taking place, sent her word that her husband was "off on a racket," and she came to the city. The train had no sooner come to a standstill than Mrs. Helmerich boarded the middle car greatly excited. Seated in the center of the car were her husband and the young woman, enjoying an animated conversation. This scene riled the injured wife, and without giving the couple a moment's warning she stepped up to the seat and commenced to box the woman's ears. The young woman, when she saw who it was, jumped from her seat and hastily left the car, leaving Helmerich to settle matters with his wife. While the husband and wife were quarreling the train moved out of the station. The scene was enjoyed by all the passengers. It could not be found out who the young woman was or where she went after she left the train. She was about 20 years old, of petite form, dark hair and jet black eyes, very pretty and viva«tious.

Show Collide With Calamitous Results. FERGUS FALLS, Minn., Oct. S.-^-At 3 o'clock Sunday morning, while John Robinson's circus train was coming into this city from Wahpeton, on the Northern Pacific Railroad, about four miles west of the city a coupling pin broke and seven oars of the first section ran down the steep grade at the rate of forty miles an hour into the engine of the second section. The caboose and two sleeping cars, containing 160 sleeping men, composed a portion of the section which broke loose. The engineer of the approaching train stopped his engine and he and the fireman jumped and were Baved, but had not time to reverse and both sections crashed into each other, killing four men outright, fatally injuring three and slightly injuring twenty or thirty others. The watchman of the train tried to warn the sleeping men of the collision and was himself killed, refusing to desert, although aware that a collision was inevitable. No performers or animals were hurt. The jthen Killed were the watchman, Wilson," and three canvassmen. The engine was smashed and the four cars reduced to kindling wood. The most remarkable fact is that more were not killed and.injured.

GEORGE GORDON.

"Ffia many Mends will be pained to learn of the death Sunday afternoon of George Gordon, an old and respected citizen of Terre Haute. His illness lias been of nearly two months so that his death was not unexpected, but it is none the less painful on that account.Decea9ed was born in Livermore, Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, in 1832 and came to Terre Haute in 1855, since which time he has been a citizen of this city. For many years ho carried on an extensive coopering business for himself, but of

late

years has been with th© firm of

Gihnan & Reynolds. He leaves a wife and six children to mourn the loss of a kind husband and indulgent father. He was one of the original members of the 11th regiments of Indiana volunteers, serving with that regiment during its first enlistment of three months. He afterwards joined the 31st regiment, serving in it as fife major, and continuing in the service until the end of the war. A brave soldier and a good citizen has gone to his eternal reward.

Farewell Reception to Mr. and Mrs. Genis. A farewell reception and banquet was given last evening to Mr. and Mrs. L. Genis and their family at the Terre Haute House. The host of the evening was Mr. Crea, of Decatur, who has been associated in business with Mr. Genis during the nine years in which he has resided in Terre Haute. About fifty guests were present. The occasion was a pleasant one and will linger long in the memory of all who were present, the only shadow marring an otherwise perfect evening being the reflection that it was the farewell to a family with whom ail parted with profound regret. These regrets found expression during the evening from the lips of Mr. Crea and others whom he called upon and to all of which Mr. Genis himself responded in some felicitous remarks.

They left this afternoon over the Vandalia road for New York and sail Saturday on the Gallia, of the Cunard line. Their hospitable home has been asocial center during their residence in Terre Haute and they will be sadly missed by all their acquaintances.

HENDRICKS.

He Is Interviewed at Columbus. COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 5—Vice-Presi-dent Hendricks passed through this city Saturday night and in an interview on general subjects stated that he presumed Congress would engage in the revision of the tariff during the coming session. In reference to the Civil Service Commission and in answer to the question "will the President appoint men who entertain the same view that characterized the Eaton, Gregory and Thoman board?" Mr. Hendrioks replied: "No sir I think Mr. Cleveland will appoint men who, while pledged to the principles of civil service, will have a business like conception of the duties of their position and make their rulings more in harmony with the spirit that demands political parties than the old board did." "Will Thoman resign of his own accord, or will the President ask for his resignation?"'"#^ "Oh I presume Judge Thoman will relieve the President of the embarrassment of asking for his resignation, because in the reorganization of the board he cannot hope to be retained. The resignation of Messrs Eaton and Gregory of course means anew board, and Judge Thoman, I cannot think for a moment would want to continue as a member after his colleagues saw fit to place their resignation with the President."

GEN. ROBERT TOOMBS.

Tfte* Unreconstructed Rebel Slowly Dying -Death-Bed Fancics of the Sufferer. ATLANTA, Oct. 5.—General Robert Toombs is dying. His mind is seriously affected, and absolutely void as regards certain topics. His imagination carries him back twenty years, and he can not be convinced that he is at home, but believes himself to be in either New York, Richmond, Montgomery or Bos ton, or else traveling the old court circuit of his district, which he, covered forty years ago. He makes eloquent arguments before visionary bars, and during tho week entered into an elaborate discourse to prove that West Vir ginia was responsible for her share of Virginia's bonded debt. His memory is perfectly clear on points prior and relating to the war. He sometimes im agines himself in the army. He awoke one night during the week and asked to bo raised from his bed as "the enemy were coming on." He then reled his char are at Antietam. and asked .to.

The Wild Story of a Murderer

Turns Out to Be Only Too True and it ., i. Horrible.

CHICAGO, Oct. 6.—The strange and' wild story of John W. Wilson, who stag-" gered into the Twelfth street station on"« Saturday night, proclaiming himself a murderer, is true. The following dispatch received last night from Philadelphia, confirms his tale: "Hold Wilson, he is wanted for the murder of Anthony! Daly, who disappeared mysteriously about the middle of February 1884, from his farm in Montgomery, near Ivy Hill cemetery. Will send on for him. [Signed.] F. R. KELLY,

Chief of Detectives."

In his drunken talk, Wilson told of the horrible manner in which he killed Anthony Daly, a farmer of Ivy Hill, Pa., in February 1884. How often he had worked for him, he asked for money and on being refused visited a neighboring village and got crazy drunk. Returning. he stealthily entered the sleeping room of Daly and picking up a meat cleaver, brained the sleeping victim. Tho details following are almost too horrible to reJate. The murderer c'eliberately hacked the body to pieces, sewed the severed *,^ members in a bag and dumped
