Now he made, a. personal appeal to them for help. The response was. z'a'::' that THE MLN•OF-WAR COULD DO NOTHING without an order from the port captain. ,Next day the ship was invaded by the com- mandant of a special force of men, a000m- ied by another boat load of soldiers. obi-time—the -Guatenntlan officer(' came •iehed with an "order of arrest," signed 're w r e Atnerioan Minister Mizner.

Barrnndia was short-sighted, and, being very" nertoue, was unable to do any damage, though he chased them in and out of the saloon, firing wildly. At last the Af`icers got the drop on him from different points and riddled him with shot. He fell On the hurricane deck. The commandant thereupon oamo from his hiding place, -a?alked up to the dead man, and fire -a into bin skull. The body was rolled np in canvas, . and, as the general was a very "navy man, the ghastly burden was bundled ,,,down the gang-wayinto one of the boats rend conveyed ashore to be sent to Guate. ) mala, where it was interred the next day. The other boat, carrying the perpetrators of the deed, their revolvers openlydie- h `�. played, made a detour round by the United States warships on their way to the shore. r to ADDED INSULT.

Barrundia's body -guard at tho com- mencement of the fighting had run below and bean looked up for safety. About forty shots were fired in alt. Finally the:disagree: able affair ended, and the steamer was allowed to p_oceed. She sailed away with drooping colors. The .Americans on board were full of indignation and shame at the whole affair. Many passengers openly 4 expressed regret that the American flag was theirs. Elton THE NORTHWEST. • Wm.

Terrible Experiences of the Crew et a Oiouoester lrislhina Schooner. A Halifax despatch Saye ; Capt. Griffin and thirteen men belonging to the Glouces- ter sohoo`her Lizzie Griffin,whioh was lost on the Grand Banks on August 26th, arrived here tonight from St. Jobn'e,. e.fitRa ars .wa °een home by the steamer Worcester on Saturday. They had a meet startling, experierioe, and their escape from death was most miraonlous. The schooner was struck by a heavy sea about daylight on the mureins el September let end torr e completely over. A terrific hurricane 'was ,blowing at the time, and there was a very high sea., All halide, except the two men on watch, were below in the oabin at the time aeleep. They were suddenlyawakened to find themselves clinging to what had been the floor and the water rushing in on them. Death, they thought, would only be a question of a few minutes. Just when they were beginning to feel the effects of suffocation the vessel righted Alightly,, coming np till on her on to the deok. The captain was badly bruised about the head, and several of the others were wounded more or less from being dashed against the inside of the cabin. When she oapeized the mast had broken off, .end the two men who had been on watch on deck were found. clinging to the wreckage, both having been thrown into the sea when the schooner went over, but fortunately managing to grasp the rigging. One of them named Patterson, was found to have a leg broken, and the other, Hopkins, bad bis hip dislocated. The vessel received a bad straining and was leaking fast, so that the pump had to be kept going to keep her afloat. In the afternoon another Gloucester schooner, the Siegfred, whioh was passing, observed the distress. signal from the wreck and bore down and rescued them and landed them at St. John's on the 8rd instant, where they were kindly treated and oared for by Consular Agent Malloy. The two injured men were left in the hos- pital at St. John's. TSE DEQOLLETE DRESS. Some Plain Language from a London Writer. fc--Bbnelva--0u6isle--6aa��,�e Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (Mrs. Ward) on decollete dressing has called forth consider- able comment from •the London press, rental of which is far from complimentary to the thin-skinned American. One writer says. _ referring_Io__d12re._.Ward'--s— artiole.: " People who talk and write in this style are either not very well informed on their subject or they are constitutionally in- capable, of believing that there is more cleanliness and sound health in the world at large than exists in their own minds and natures. Some of ns ' are so unfortunately constituted that we must first create the vices we want to destroy, and there is nothing that does so much harm to society as this blatant crusading by prurient • purists against evils that have scarcely the shadow of an existence outside of their own imaginations. Mrs. Ward ,is eorry that ladies who -go to the theatre do not avert their glances ,and blush when the ballet comes on.' Well,there are some who do so, but they are the sort of women who make assignations with their lovers in church, ask French conundrums in whispers at the dinner tables, and read anonymous French viae between the covers of fashion prints. The woman who opens her eyes when the ballet comes on, finds a good deal less im- propriety in that entertainment than she *onld be likely to find in the occasional diatribes against them in the magazine articles by British or American matrons." 018 TROUBLES ENDED. Hobert Ray Hamilton's Dead Body Found in Snake River. A Helena, Mont., despatch says : J. O. Green, son of President Norvin Green, of Western estern Union Telegraph Company, returned, to Helena on Friday, after a tour in the Yellowstone National Park. Mr. Green says that on August 23rd, while on his way into the Park from the Union Pacific, he stopped at the ranch of Robert Ray Hamilton, the New Yorker whose. trouble with his wife caused such a sensa- tion a year ago. Mr. Gruen says h"r. Ham- ilton had bought a ranch about -two months ago, and had made it an outfitting plane for park tourists. Mr. Green found that Mr. Hamilton had been gone on a hunting trip for five days. The next day Mr. Green and his party started to hunt np Mr. Ham- ilton. About thirty miles from the ranch Mr. Green discovered his body in Snake river, and hie horse and dog a little dis- tance away. Mr. Hamilton was identified beyond all doubt by Mr. Green, who bad the body taken to the ranch, and who noti- fied Mr. Hamilton's family. Mr. Green has been in the park, and was' surprised that the above facts bad not been published. Wrecked by a Waterspout. A San Antonio, Tex., deepatoh says : Last night at 9 o'clock passenger train No. 19, oaet bound from El Paso on the Southern Pacific Railway, was (aught in a. waterspout fifteen miles west of Dol Rio. The water, some forty feet wide, „struck the forward part of the train. It took the engine, baggage oar and mail oar from the tracks and carried them forty-five feet, overturning them. Tho passengers knew nothing of the approach of the water until the jar occurred. The engineer and fire- men eaoaped drowning by swimming to high ground. Tho track was torn up for 200 yards, and a gully ton feet cut through it. 'I he train is still standing, and a force of men are repairing the track. —Governor McKinney, of Virginia, says that it is not at all necessary for a public man to drink, as is often asserted. It has been his invariable practice to decline all "treats " in his political campaigns, and he believes that instead of losing he bad gained votes by his abetinenoe. Mies Elizabeth Bioland, who made a trip around the world, beating the time of the mythical Phileas Fogg, has gone to England to live, it is.said. • This is strange in view of the feat that she was pro- moted to a very responsible position on the Cosmopolitan after her return from her journey. ECHOES OF TALE/3=1$M • An Uneatisfaatory Interview With Depew —Alleged Wreckers arrested. A New York deepatoh. says-: A oom- mittee of five of the ex-employees of the New York Central Railway who went out' (strike called on President Depew at the Grand Central depot to -day. They were 11 a l r si conductor an$ Ualfn`ey,.anotlier striker, noted as spokesman.

Mr. Gaffney—The strike is not over, be- cause all the men on the road who are members of labor organizations, have quit work and are now out. Mr. Depew—They have ohpsen to resign their positions. Mr. Webb, who was man- aging the road in my absence, took new men in their plume when they quit work. eereseezeeZe five Board of Management of thea road. The planes of those men have now been filled, and that's the end of it. Mr. •Gaffney then asked Mr. Depew to wait until the committee had dieoueeed the matter, and said that they would then re- turn and make their proposition to him. Mr. Depew replied : There is no use in making false promises to you. There is nothing more to be done. I do not care to talk over back numbers. Yon have chosen to resign your plaoee. Mr. Webb has filled tem and I have nothing more to say. The committee then left the office. A Utica despatch says : Pinkerton De- tectives have arreated Cain and Buett, who were wanted for wrecking a train near Albany. They were arrested in Northern New York or Canada. The detectives refused to say where. The detectives passed through Utica yesterday afternoon following a woman who was in communi- cation with the men wanted. They left for the east at 11.20. z•-,.4 A SWISS REVOLUTION. Thee Little Repubiio Hae a Constitutional Revision Queation.

The rebels arrested Councillor Oreali, the Federal Commissioner, who re- oeived instructions to annul the orders of the Provisional Government and the popular Assembly. A Geneva cable says : A supplement to 'the Journal de Geneve says all is °has in the Canton of Vioino. The revolutionists have JUSTICE. NOT CHARITY. The Radicals Are Nqt All Poor and Igngr- ant Dien.

' The American revolution dethroned one Crowned king, and in his stead there have arisen 25,000 uncrowned kings. The crown was but a symbol.

It will gender it utterly impossible for any one man to oppress another ; for when any man oan get land to use, paying to the com- munity a jest tax for the value of hie loca- tion, and no tax on what he produces from it, he is absolutely free—he need noel beg for work.

An attempt was -made to blow up the residence of C. W. Totten with dynamite. On Saturday last Mr. Totten, who is a constable, with two officers, took two women- and a man to Truro and placed them in jail under warrants for violating the Liquor License Act. Many threats were made at the time against the lives of the officers, and against Mr. Totten in particular, but no attention was' paid to them. The fiend who committed the dastardly aot last night first broke into the buildings of the Londonderry Iron Com- pany and stole a quantity of dynamite, whioh he placed under the corner of the house, directly under the kitchen, where he thought no doubtthe family would be about the time. Fortunately Mr. Totten'a wite and little children, who were alone in the house -at the-time,the 'father being absent in Truro, happened to be in another part of the house when the scoundrels set the ex- plosive off. The report it made was terrific and was beard all over the town. The house was badlyy wrecked, but the occu- pants, beyond being badly shaken np, were not serionely injured. Shortly after the explosion a man was seen running from the house, but owing to the ;darkness he was not recognized. The greatest indigna- tion prevails in the town and talk of lynch- ing is freely indulged in. A reward will likely be cffered for the capture of the wretch. A BRUTAL PARENT Nails His Two Children in a Box, Where They Are Suffocated. • An El Paso, Tex., despatoh says An Indian living some miles below Paso del Norte, Mexico, left home on bneiness Saturday morning, but before leaving he put his two children, a girl and a boy, in a large box, and nailed down the lid, to pro. vent them from getting into the orchard and eating the fruit during his absence. The father did . not return until Sunday evening, and on opening the box he found the boy lying dead in the bottom and the girl in a dying condition. The snffooating closeness of their prison, combined 'with hunger and thirst, had done its work. Frightened over the result of his brutal oarelessness, the father endeavored 'to' exonerate -himself by concocting several stories, but was quickly arrested. The Indian intended to return to the children Sattirdevereight, but he was delayed. An Important Mal Interceptcd.e A Berlin cable pays : 4 sensational rob- bery of the mails scours at Stuttgart to- day. A .post -bag oontai ng 30,000 marks and twenty-one registe d lettere disap= peered this morning ite way from Friedriohshafen. The mperor is now staying at Friedrioiisha n, and the bag among the other letter contained doors- menta touching on thea art -martial now in 'progress at the Mi'tary Casino at Stuttgart upon member of the Lancers. The scandals are eimila to those of Cleve- land street, London, an have been con- nected with high army oars of the Wnr- tembnrg capital. Tib bag was subse- quently found in Lake Constance. It had been entirely rifled of its contents, and nothing was diecoverei anywhere about that would give any ohs to the perpetra- tors of the deed. It h supposed to have been done by some onevho had an inter- est in keeping these dociments away from the court-martial. Dark meat of oold roat chicken is the coolest lunch on a hot lay, says a New York epicure, and gravel adds a word of oommendatior't for the drum -sticks, in order to quote the comment of an irate restaurant nook who had just -received an order for three chicken les : " I can't help that," snapped the coo ; " I' can't out more than too legs off 4e chicken. Ask them•do they want thdearth. Do they think fowls is centipedes ?"—Boston Transcript. Queen Victoria is vers tenaoiona of the rule that she shall heal at least once week from members of or family absent in other lands. She likeletters. pied the prefecture and the arsenal, ex- pelling the officials by force and they still hold them. No serious resistance was made by the Cantonal Government, who were unable to nope with the insurgents. The Federal Government has despatched 1,500 troops to Vicino to restore order and rein- state the local authorities. The offioial killed by a revolver shot last night wase a councillor of State. The outbreak is wholly local. None of the other cantons take part or have any sympathy with it. The rebel- lion is condemned throughout the republio, and will be abort -lived. A Bellinzona cable says : The Liberals occupy the town stations on the St. Gothard Railway. A counter revolt is feared. Later—The revolt has collapsed. The troops have been well received by the revo- lutionists. It has been agreed that the question of the revision of the constitution be submitted to A popular vote. FLOODS IN 011IG. Mach Damage to Houses, Railways and Farms. A Pittsburg despatch says : The tribu- te ies to the Allegheny are all overflowing and at Oil City the Western New York and Pennsylvania tracks are covered, while trouble is feared on the Allegheny Valley railroad. All the lower streets in Canton, Ohio, are flooded, and great damage is being done by flooded cellars, while the small farmers are also sfifferera. At New- castlePa., the Neshannock river is higher than it has been for years, and now com- pletely covers the lower portion of that oity. A hnndred houses are covered on the first floor with .lrrom one to six feet of water, and the families have been obliged to move to higher ground. A washout has stopped freight traffic on the Newcastle branch of the Pittsburg and Western, while passengers must all be ,transferred. One mile of the Western New York and Penn- sylvania has been washed out near New- castle, while the Nypano is also washed out in a-eoore of places. A score of mills and furnaces in Newcastle and along the Neshannock are covered with water and shut down. The deep Shenanga river is also rising, and danger is feared from that stream before morning. All reports indi- cate great loss on mills, houses, and to farmers, nothing extraordinary in any one ossa, but enormous in the aggregate. WHAT BA.ILWAY MEN WANT. A Long List of Applications Before the Privy Council Yesterday. At yesterday's meeting of the Railway Committee of the Privy Council was hoard the application of the Niagara Central Railway Company to make a crossing towards the railway Suspension Bridge at Niagara Falls upon the land of the Grand Trunk by means of a traok already in ex- istence, from the Canada Southern Rail- way northeasterly across Bridge street, Niagara Falls to a junction with the°Grand Trunk Railway track at the westerly end of the bridge. The Grand Trunk, in the person cf John Bell, Q. C., opposed this, and wanted more information, so it was postponed for a week. G. T. Blaoketock, Q. C., appeared for the Niagara Central, and was supported by the President, Dr. Dille, and Capt. Neelon, ex-M.P.P,, of . St. Catharines. The Winnipeg Transfer and Northern Pacific & Manitoba Railways asked perr?is- sion to effect a junction with the C. P. h. Owing to the non -arrival of C. P. R. Super- intendent Whyte from Winnipeg the hear- ing wad adjourned. The case of the Win- nipeg Street Railway, who also as leave to arose the C. P. R. track, was also ad- journed.. Mr. Patterson, M. P. for Essex, asked on behalf of the Lake Erie, Essex & Detroit River Railwayfor leve to run a track along Stowart street, Kingsville, Ont. The application was granted, subject, to com- pensation by the company to any persons whose interest may be injured. A number of other applications stand over. • The Mid -Steeple. Set egharely in the middle of High street, Dumfries, is one of the oddest old structures to be found in all Scotland. It is now called the Mid -steeple. Whore built, 200 years ago, it was known as the Trott Steeple. At that time, on the sale at auction of the customs and excise of Scot- land, the Dumfries Town Council took a large share in the plunder, in turn sold it to a fellow burgher, one Sharpe,so by name and fine in dealing. The citizens rov'olted, and on compromise Burgher Sharpe was permitted to retain his "tank " on pay- ment of 20,000 marks, Soots, with whish the outlandish structure was erected.

It wrongs no man ; it rights all men ; it means land for the people, wages fug, , labor, interest to capital. Iuetead 6F land speculation, it will open np oppor- tunities for investment hitherto undreamed of by oapitalists...This is why I am a single taxer. It is not a hobby with me. How can anything be a hobby or a fad that invol von all that is best in life ? Herbert Spender, Tyndall, Huxley, Darwin, Humboldt, Car- lyle, all saw the injustioe of land specuta- tion, and said so. Mr. Howells, Mark Twain and Edward Bellamy see it to -day, and say so. The press throfgeout the land sees it, and says so. The musicians say so. The poets, Shelley, Burns, Emerson, Whit- man and Lanier, say so. The artists, among whom are to be named Deforrost Brush, George Innes, John J. Ennokin, Dan Beard, F. S. Charoh, Robert Sewell, Iiennetheranford, J. S. Hartle, say so. In the pulpit, Bishop Potter, Bishop Spau!d ing, Lyman Abbott, Hebert Newton, Rabbi Sahiroller, Father Huntington, M. J. Sav- age' and others say so. The etatesme0, the merchants, the clerks say so ; the mechan- fea tberiaU-ere s say su ; en ct-s'u I avtue for you, actors, to ask you, not to say so, but for God's sake to say, something—not to follow mo, but to go into the puhlio libraries and read the literature of theday upon this question 'and oppose me if you can: Shake off this lethargy ; it is killing your art. It is keeping you idle and lowering your standard of worth. It is mild that there is an oversupply of theatres and actors. No ! there is no oversupply of anything, and there never can be, so long as one human want .remains unsatisfied. Underconsnmption is. the .trouble. Free land, concentrate your people, instead of forcing them out over thousands of miles of territory ; economize your vitality and your wealth, advance your civiliznticn step by step in the order of evolution ; found new cities only as they are needed, and you will find that you havn't got half theatres or actors enough. I am accused of being the champion of the common laborer I am the advocate of all tether ; but I know that we can do nothing until the common laborer is free. He has got to be freed first. And I confess that it does seem to me that there ie eomethingg radically wrong in a system that forces a man to toil iuceesantly from the sunrise to the sunset of his life—a life shortened on an average thirty years— only to stand on the threshold of his grave at last, gnarled and twisted like an old oak, and looking backward, say to himself : " For all this toil'ari ineuffioionoy of food and clothing through life, and a pauper's grave at the end." And yet from that man's toil, from the wealth he has pro- duced, some man or corporation of men has grown rich. It is hard to make the comfortable people of the world see this troth, just as it is difficult to make the comfortable actor, the actor who is always in 'an engagement, believe that there is not something' radi- cally wrong with the uncomfortable actor who can get nothing to do. The rich- are beginning to see it. That is demonstrated in their extensive charities. Tho time was "that they waited until after death before disposing of their wealth ; now they are adopting charitable moasnres daring their lives. Charity under the present condition of things is a neoeseity, and we can't have too mach of it ; but I could wish we were well rid of it, andthat justice stood in its stead. " Charity covereth a maltitu)11,_ of sine," but 'it also begets a multituof wrongs. When Carnegie built that 00,- 000 library and bestowed it upon his work- men, one of them said, " If Andy'd' only pay us our full wages we could build our own libraries." We tingly tax, fellows say, justice is what we're after. Give us that and we'll have no nee for charity. A New Excuse. She—Have you been drinking again ? Ile—No, m'love (hie)."
