"which history furnishes any record. It was also the most glorious revolution for it destroyed a tyranny which 'for centuries had ruled the people with a rod of iron. Certainly the womb of time never produced more hideous monsters than Louis XIV, Louis XY and Louis XYI. It is an amazing pity that the two former could not have met the fate of the last who expiated with his life in some small measures for years of monstrous oppression. Before the revolution the people had absolutely no voice in choosing their rulers and making their laws. Now they do both. The old order of things has passed away forever. It is devoutly to be hoped that the new order of things may extend so as to embrace every country on the globe.

Mr. L. Genis, his gracious wife and charming family left Terre Haute this afternoon for their borne in Brussels. They sail Saturday morning from New York on the stuamer Gallia, of tho Cunard line. Mr. Genis first came here by himself in 1874, and again in 1875, as the representative of the Waring Brothers of London, whose large interests in the Illinois Midland road rendered it desirable that they should have a trusted agent here to look after the property. Finding that the business could not be concluded as soon as he had at first expected, Mr. Genis brought his family with him in 1876 and for nine years* during each of which they have expected to return home the next, they have

Communicated:]—Once again grim death has made an inroad in our community, and has taken from among us one of our most brilliant young ladies, Lizzie Tryon, daughter of Charles and Melvina Tryon, aged 19 years. That fatal disease "consumption" feasted on her frail body until, on the first day of Oct. she was "called to that bourne from whence no traveler ever returns. The many friends sympathize with the parents in this their great loss, but we feel that their loss is her gain. When we think of the many long hours we have sat by hei bed-side witnessing the most intense suffering that humanity could suffer, and then, of that sweet sleep she is now enjoying. Oh! say could we wish her back here to suffer death again. Ah! no, our thoughts float onward to that not far distant day when our work on earth is done, and we enter that boat that floats on the great river of death that will land us on that eternal shore, where we will find "Lizzie" among other friends waiting to welcome us home, there to part no more.

IN A CISTERN.

The Missing Lizzie Robinson Found

"'•4SS

Some say that the cistern, which wis open one covered by loose boards, was open Friday but was covered in the* morning. A singular thing about the affair is that on Saturday evening a man fished in the cistern with a long pole having a theory that Lizzie was in there but couldnt find the body.

The coroner is holding an inquest. Marshall Morrison says that Henry Bbbinson, the husband came to him Friday night wondering what had become of his wife. He had gone to the Mayers House and inquired for her but was told* she had stepped out. He wept to his room in H. D. Pixley & Co's and waited till eleven o',clock but she did not return. jj

The deceased was about thirty-three years old and had worked at the Mayers House off and on for the past eight years." r'JJxZi

In a Cistern at the Mayer's House.

At half past twelve today one of the boarders at the Mayers' House, kept by Mr. Hassinger, thought he saw some thing in the cistern as he passed and a few minutes later Emma .Mayers drawing water discovered the skirts of a drowned woman. Bill Elwell and Capt. Wm. Cooper, of the Ida Lee, were summoned and fished out the body which proved to be that of Lizzie Robinson, who disappeared last Friday evening. She was the wife of Henry Robinson, a driver for E. R. Wright A Co., and the circumstances of her death as gathered from the girls at the house are as follows: "About 8 o'clock last Friday evening," says Emma Mayers, "she was through her work and started out in the yard sinking. 3 ust before she left she was talking to me. We saw nothing of her."

VETERANS. -•.*

They are to be Given Preference For.Places.

By the Reform Administration.^-A Strong Letter From Secretary Whitney, NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—A number of discharges were made in the Brooklyn navy yard last spring owing to the smallness of the appropriation available Among1 those first discharged were seven veterans. The matter was at once taken up by the veterans rights union and efforts were made to have the men reinstated in their position s. Commo dore Chandler was appealed to by the comittee and they were referred to the foremen, but no satisfaction could be obtainod. The committee, consisting of George P. Little, Joseph W. Kay and George F. Hopper, wrote a letter to Secretary Whitney.

To their appeal the following letter has been received: "NAVX DEPARTMENT,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22,1885.) GENTLEMEN: Your letter of recent date, requesting that due attention be given to the'claims of honorably discharged soldiers and sailors for employment and retention in the navy department and the yards under its control, has been received. In reply I havo to say that it will give me pleasure at all times to give preference to those honorably discharged from the military and naval service of the United' States, either for appointments to, or retention in office as the case may be, if equa'ly competent and deserving. The efforts of the Grand Army of the Republic to maintain in this way the premium on patriotism displayed by these hodorably discharged soldiers and sailors are commendable, and shall have my cooperation. You may rest assured the fact that a man is an honorably discharged soldier will not militate against his obtaining employment in any of the establishments under the control of .the navy department but on the contrary the fact will be (as it has been heretofore) considered by me as a recommendation in favor of the applicant for the employment he seeks. I should be glad to have my attention called to any violation of the law with reference to this subject. Yours respectfully,

W. C. WHITNEY,

^MORE MINING MUDDLES.

Coal Mines Closed—Miners Thrown Out. WHEELING, W. Va., Sept. 3.—A fresh labor trouble has broken out among the coal miners in this vicinity. The cause of this new trouble is as follows: About a week ago a committee of miners working for the Pittsburg and Wheeling Coal Company waited upon the managers and informed them that their men had joined the National Association and made the demand that a discharged workman, Michael Morgan, be re-instat-ed or another union man hired in his

lunch counter. Nothing stronger than place. Mr. Walters, one of the superginger ale was sold. There were a large mtendents, went to Cleveland and nad number of very old settlers on hand and many interesting reminiscences were exchanged. Tomorrow the managers of the affair hope to do much better. The bicycle race will come off and it is expected to be interesting. At 2 p. m. A1 Schaal, Johnny Staff and Mr. Wishard, of Clinton, sailed in and had a shooting match of their own, the former winning. Several marksmen from abroad who were on hand left before the shooting commenced.

a consultation with the directors, the result of which was a determination to close all the mines of the company between Cleveland and Wheeling and discharge the men, over 2,000 in number. This order went into effect last night and all the large mines belonging to the company in Belmont county, Ohio, opposite this city, were shut down until non-union men can be obtained. At the Wheeling Creek mines two Italians refused to join the union and announced that they would resume work, when they were set upon by a mob and narrowly escaped being killed. The union to which the miners belong Is the National Amalgamated Association re cently formed at Indianapolis and includes nearly all the coal miners in the principal coal mining states.\\\ T*

DUE TO A BROKEN RAIL.

ST. JOHN, N. B., Oct. 3.—About 1:30 o'clock this morning, as the express train from Quebec to St. John was approaching Canaan Station, the first class, second-class and postal cars were thrown off the track by a broken riil. The stove in the first-class oar was upset, and the car immediately took fira The coach was filled with passengers— almost all women and children. For a few minutes a scene of the wildest confusion reigned. Women screamed and fainted and were trampled upon, and even the male passengers lost their heads. A woman named Tucker, of Amherst, sustained fatal injures by the stove falling on her, and an infant received a frightful gash in the head, from which it can-not recover. All of the passengers were injured more or less. Medical assistance was sent from Moncton. ,-,3

CLEVELAND AND THE VETERANS.

Buffalo, N. Y., Oct 3.—At the last meeting of the Twenty-first Regiment Vetera Association, President CleveCleveland was elected an honorary member, and a notification sent to him. The following reply has been received by the secretary: "DEAR SIRS—I have just received notice of my election as an honorary member of the the Twenty-first Regiment Association. I desire to return my thanks to the Board of Directors for the honor thus conferred. I remember well the day the regiment left the the city of Buffalo for the front the leave taking, Ihe prayers, and the teare it occasioned. I remember, too, the return of the survivors, and the vacant places in the ranks once filled by those who never returned. The city which this regiment honored by its service should be proud of its achieuements, and it should not be difficult to accomplish the erection of a monument in token of grateful appreciation ot patriotic devotion. I shall be glad to assist such an undertaking. Yours very truly, GROVER CLEVELAND.

Cunningham Bros., of St. Louis, Foreclose is S to This morsing James L. Brennan's merchant tailoring establishment was closed by Cunningham Bros., of St. Louis. They packed the goods and shipped them to St. Louis. Mr. Brennan states that his liabilities are about $1,200, nearly all of,which is owed to the Cunninghams. He states that he started in business a year and a half ago without funds, but credited by Cunningham Bros., and did pretty well the first year. For the past six or seven months he has, however, been running behini and concluded that it would not be right to get any deeper in the hole and so notified the Cunninghams to come and take the stock and save themselves. He says they will come out about even. Mr. Brennan says tho closing of the Nail Works has seriously affected his business. He is an elegant cutter and will no doubt have no trouble in securing a situation in his business.

Marshall Robbed Again.

Marshall, HI., was again robbed Thursday night. When Edward Emerson, bookkeeper of the Quaker City mills, entered the offioe yesterday morning, he found the safe door open and a key in the money drawer, which the burglars had made to fit the lock, as the key showed that it had been filed. A yellow envelope containing $50, a purse with some silver in it and the American express envelope also containing money, were missing. In the back end of the drawer was a package of ten silver dollars and an envelope containing $8 in paper. These the thieves overlooked. Sixty-three dollars were gone and a check for $75. On lookiug around south of- the mill Mr. Emerson found the express envelope with tlie $75 check all right. The robbers had not seen it.

McSweeny's Services Rewarded. NEW YOBK, Oct. 3.—Edward McSweeney, the famous suspect, whose release from the English prison was so long delayed by Minister Lowell, and who upon his return to this country in the early part of last fall took an aotive part in the campaign in New York, was told by Secretary Manning to proceed to his home in San Francisco and upon his arrival there he would be appointed appraiser or assistant appraiser in the Custom House there. Both places have been made vacant by death. McSweeny will not know which place he is to receive until he arrives. He has left for San Francisco.
