THE CAUSE or TEE TROUBLE „el. last night's Louden gable nye : Teeter information showthat Air. Dillon wee arrested at Ballybrack, where be Wae entitling hia unole. He wee hurried teener o etrong guard and with the utmost seamy, to the railway station, where a special or wee in waiting. Ae soon se he entered this the train eves etarted for Dublin. Only a brief stop was made here, when the prieoner we carried 011 to Tip, pantry, the tenente of which town he is o harged with having incited to refuse pay - event of rent to their landlord, Smith- Batry. The arrest of Wm. O'Brien WILS made at the Glengariff Hotel. Mrs. O'Brien was preeent. The charges against 'O'Brien are based on speeches made by hiM at Limeriole and Tipperary, in which ia alleged he advised his auditors not to pay rent. Prom Glengeriff O'Brien wee immediately taken to Cork. A warrant has been issued for Mr. Dalton, who has been active in the work of the Land League. The police are keeping a strict watch on the headquarters of the Lend League in Dublin. Persons entering Dr leaving are subject to dose eorutiny. Despatches from Tipperary report that the =wizen of the local branola of the league ore under close police surveillance. 'The reetivity of the police indicates that the authorities contemplate further arrests. It ie ooneidered probable that warrants are tieres.dy out against many leaders in the Mend League of secondary rank, who have made themselves obnoxious by the aotive part they have taken in recent antnrent campaigns, This eudden notion of the Government has fallen like a thunderbolt from a clear sky. The Irish Nationalists had no snepioion of the impending blow, and are at a loss to know what it means. Mingled inarpriee and indignation are the • predominant feelings. Despatches from various parts of Ireland show that the 'nationalists are everywhere greatly excited at the arrests. There was no abatement of interest shroughout the day in the Irish arreete. Up to 7 o'olook this evening no definite information has reached London of the speeified utteranoes of Dillon and O'Brien on which the warrants for their arrest were based. Neither had the Government given out any official explanation which would throw hg,ht upon the sudden and unex. pinned resort to a vigorous Irish policy. It es commonly supposed to might that the ostensible grounds for O'Brienni arrest are to be found in a very, plain speech that he eseade last Sunday to an assemblsee of peasants at &hull, in County Cork. He Await upon the failure of the potato orop and spoke of the gloomy outlook for wide- spread distress which Ireland must face this winter. Warming to the theme, he For tens of thousands of smell farmers through Ireland it will become a unestion this winter whether they are to have food, or their landlords." Confronted with snob an alternative, he thought there should be no hesitancy as to a choice. He advised the tenants on every estate to meet and consult as to what proportion, if any, of their rent they could honestly pay. When that question had been determined they should all abide by lite decision. If the farmers, he said, S hould give to the landlorde money whioh was needed to buy bread for their children, the Irish leaders would not dare to appeal to the world to come to the rescue of such a -nation of sieves; but if tenants would absolutely refuse to pay a penny of rent until every family that tilled the soil waS placed beyond the reaoh of starvation, then if the Government evioted starving people from their poor homes it wonld be swept ant of existenoe by a torrent ot English indignation, and the whole civilized world would send money and assistance for the benefit of the tenants. Michael Dewitt was interviewed this afternoon in regard to the arrests. He look a very hopeful view of the eituation mend thought the effeot would be entirely avorable to the Irieh cense. " If Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien," he eaid, "had deliberetely set out to devise plane for in- creasing the popularity of the plan of campaign and heightening the preetige of the Land League they could not have acoorapliehed their purpose in any way more sacoessfully than by inducing Mr. Balfour to take precisely the step that he has taken of his own volition. It is just what they wanted. There had begun to be a haling in Ireland that the plan of cam- paign has been carried far enough. These arrests will be sure to rouse public sena- Ment in its favor again. Mr. Balfour has not made a greater mistake since he has bean in chief authority over Ireland." A Dublin table says; Mr. O'Brien and wife arrived at Tipperary at 9 o'clock to. Bight. The publio lamps were not lighted. 'The couple were enthusiastically cheered during their passage through the town. Canon Cahill and other friends met them tat the Court House. In the Far Southwest. Mrs. Colt (wife of Col.

A RAILWAY HORROR, Between Forty and Fifty Killed and Many Injured. THREE TILIAINS IN . A, HEAP. A Reading, Pa., despatch of 'Friday night says: A wreak occurred on the Beading Railroad seventeen nailed Above thie place at about 045 to -night. The train which met with the disaster left thie city at 6.05 o'clock, ten minutes tete. It is known as. the Pottsville express, and was running at the rate of at least 38 to 4Q miles an hour, It had on board possibly from 125 to 150 paeeengere, and it con - slated of eneine, tender, mail and express oars and three passenger oars. Near nhoe- makersville, about fifteen miles above this oity, there is a curve where the railroad is ttimut 18 to 20 feet higher than the &hued - kill River. Here shortly before 6 o'clock a freight train ran into a coal train, throw- ing several oars on the opposite track, and before the train hands had time to go bath to warn any approaching train of the danger the Pottsville (mimes came around the curve and ran into the wrecked coal oars on its triune. The engine went down the embankment, followed by the entire train with its human freight. The scene was one of great horror. ' The cries of the imprisoned passengere were heartrending. Some of the pessengere managed to crawl out of their prison and arouse the neigh- borhood. Word was telegraphed to thia city, and help summoned, but all intermit - tion was refused at this point by the rail- road officials. Physicians and surgeons and 300 workmen were taken to the epot by the company, and with the aid of a travelling electric light plant the work of clearing away the wreck was at once pro- ceeded with. The work was slow, and the dead and dying were taken out witia greet difficulty. Up to 10 Gaeta& to -night some thirty wounded had been taken out. Of the latter some were brought to this city, and °there taken to the Minerre Hospital at Ashland. The dead so far recovered aro still on the ground. THE NIIMEER Or TEE DEAD. The Assooiated Prue agent has just had direot communication with his representa- tive at the scene of the wreck, and the latter says conservative estimates place the number of the killed at 40 to 50. It is almost impossible to estimate the exaot number, and the full horror of the situa- tion will not be known before morning. At 11 o'clock Mail Agent Greenweldia' body was taken ont, followed by the horribly mangled bodies of two Mahoney City fire. men on their way home from the Chester convention. There is a rumor at the scene of the wreck that George R. Kaeroher, of Pottsville, was in the wrecked parlor oar. Whether this refers to Geo. R. Keeroher, the famous lawyer of this place, is not known, but it this is so, the State loses one of its brightest legal ornaments. The scene in this city was one of great excite- ment, whioh was not allayed until long after midnight. ACCOUNT OF A PASSENGER, Tl,eAccia1d 1sIputblih just bad an interview with a passenger who went down in the wreck and who was but slightly injured. Sixteen of the injured were brought on a special train to the Reading Hospital at 11 o'clock. 1 his gentleman says that when the passenger train left Reading the oars were all well filled. Among them were many ladies. He sat in the front part of the last oar. This is his gory "The train was going at a lively rate of speed. The passengers appeared a happy crowd, many of them ladies, chatting and laughing after a day's pleasure at the Berke County Fair. I was viewing the lovely country through which we were passing when euddenly there was a terrific orash. I was hurled from my eeat, while the ears rolled down a twenty feet embankment, and I was thrown from one side of the oar to the other, when splash one end went into the water, and I was thrown against the side of the oar with a, force that partly stunned me. I quickly recoverea and managed to climb upon the seats on that side of the oar which lay against the embankment. I was a prisoner, and while I was nursing my sprained ankle and wrist I realized that I was in a scene of veritable norror. Around and about me were human beings struggling in the water, screaming in their fright, and some almost dragged me back into the water. A few saved them- selves as I did, and the remainder struggled in the water and then quietly sank oat of sight." a Chess -Flaying village.

BLOODY THAOEDY, A Portemouth Cooper Shoots His Three Daughters anti Then Soielded. .A, Portsmouth, NB., despatch oeye: A terrible tragedy occurred here toninglet, and there is great exoitement. A mon of elev. eral hundred people surrounde the house vshere the bodies of three dead persona partly attest the extent oe the crime. Fred El. J. Hein, aged 45 years, a cooper in the employ of the Eldredge Brewing Com- pany, has a family of three daughters. The eldest, Carrie, aged 15 yearn keeps house for him, his wife, who it is mid was un- faithful, having left him several months ego. Since elm left it is reported the girl Carrie has neoonae wayward. Hein'e trouble preyed upon his mind until he resolved to end the matter and remove from temptation the three female members of his houeehold. Two of them and the mur. derer himself lie dead in his home, while at the hoopital the third daughter lies dying with a bullet in her neck, and at his home 0. W. Taylor, a welleknown hard. ware merchant, whose name has been con. neoted with thet of Mrs. Haim, lies with two bullet -holes in his beak. Before the discovery of Hein's deed a body of officers and citizens were scouring the oity in search of him, and had he fallen into the hands of the mob he would have been lynched. The story of the murder is : Charles W. Taylor, while entering his residence about 7.30 tonight, was ruehed upon by the murderer, who fired two shots, both of which took effect in the small of his back. He is still alive, but will hardly live. Shortly before 8 o'olook people in the vicinity of Hein's house heard five pistol shots fired in rapid stiooesaion, and Maud, the 13 -year-old daughter of Hein, ran out of the house and down the street. She proceeded but a short distance when elm fell, saying, 'Father has shot me." The girl was taken to the hospital, where she now lies in a critical condition. Three shots were fired at her, all taking effect. The lower part ot Hein's house was the scene of the murderer's most horrible work, and it ehowe evidence of a desperate struggle. The kitchen was covered with blood, and everything wee in great disorder. Just outside the bank door of the house lay two bodies. Carrie. the oldest girl, lay with her face covered with blood, the bullet having entered the left side of the faoe, passing upward toward the brain, death resulting instantly. Across her prostrate form lay Berths, the youngest daughter. When found she was unconscious, and expired in tifteen minutes, the bullet that caused her death having entered her head just behind the left ear. e In the front chamber was found the dead body of Hein on the floor. A bullet had passed through his head from the revolver which lay by his side. A 9,ueer Mania. The Standard reports a strange case that was heard in a Vienna Police Court yester- day. A monomaniac, who was formerin'a well.to-do master baker, and ruined him- self by a mania for otalleoting handkerchiefs which had been used by ladies. At the commencement of this singular hobby he used to buy the coveted mom:emirs, some. times paying as ninth as £4 or £5 for what was intrinsically not worth as mem, shillings. His devotion to this fad brouglai him to poverty, and then he fell to stealing, in order to enrich hie already unprecedented collection. At length he was apprehended at the recent choral festival, when as many as fifteen ladies' handkerchiefs were found upon him. On a search being made by the police in his apartments there was found in one room a collection of 1,434 of these articles, all classified acoordiug to the special perfumes with which they heine i'qt7eV' scented. The magistrate ordered the un- fortunate man to be teken to a lunatic asylum.—St. James' Gazette. Do Them Both Good. Light: Mrs. Tawker—"How do you do, Mr. Prey?

THE rx.00llt.mr.tpLitit, 1,••••••••••• The Multifarious Duties he is Called 'Upon to Disohaemn-Qualttles Necessary to Make One Successful. A mite needs to ne something of a judge of nunattn clutraoter, something little above tbe average, to thoroughly fulfil the duties of the noor-walker," said wee of those tireleee beings who stand in the front of ail large stores and sewer innumerable questions all day. " Yes, I feel eaN in saying that a man has to posses more then ordineey intelli- gence to be a competent floor.walker. Every man can't do it. It takes years of the hardest kid of work to maguire that insight ,into the business thet will make a man almost unerring in his jadgmente of men, goods and prime. And ouch a knowledge must the floor -walker have if he aims to satisfactorily perform his work. He meet have at his tongue's end the exact location of every department of the store, no matter how Newt the emporium may be. He must be able at et glance to deter- mine the °erred value of goode sold, and, without hesitation, be able to settle dis- putes. Saab are the incidents whioh make up the day in the life of the aversge floor- walker. " A floor -walker's position," continued he, " seems to the unobservant to be a nice one indeed. The orowds notice the well- dressed man standing around giving dire°. tions here and there, and apparently enjoying rather an easy time compared to the clerks. That is as far es the elegem anoe of the orowd goes, and, as is many the case with opinions formed by the pub. lin is incorrect. They don't see the daily hardellipe and trials we are compelled to endure, the aotual work we do, and the responsibility that rests upon us. Over- looking the hard things, they see tie es we occasionally stand on a dull day having nothing to do, and foolishly imagine that that is a fair example of the way we work. "The average floor.walker is an ordinary sort of person. Commenoing life probably se it cashboy, he has, by assiduous applica- tion to work, raised himself to something better. But he has spent years in the business, and knows nothing else. Com- menoing work at 8 a. m. and finiehing at 6 p. m„ he finus the day long enough. He has many things to look after, and, if he attends to his duties, is thoroaghly tired out when night comes. Let me show you what a head floor -walker has to do. He has charge of the cashboys—no light work, that. He hires and discharges tlaem, and is aupposed to attend to them properly. Beeictes that he must stand at the head of the aisle or floor where he is placed and direct customers to any department they may ask for. This -necessitates the floor- walker being thoroughly acquainted with the entire location of the house. "Then he must, in a sort of way, be the head of the department in which he /3 placed. It is true tbe clerks are not under bim, but he is, nevertheless, supposed to keep an eye upon them. If a customer is not being waited npon he is to see that she is attended to as soon as possible. Very often a disagreeable person will insist on getting into a row with the clerk over the sale of some article. The floor -walker is supposed to be diplomatio enough to settle the affair up without letting it go any fur. ther. Suppoee the row is about the price of eome article. The floor -walker nauet be discreet, enough to make a satisfactory ar- rangement without hurting the interests of the house or losing the easterner. It is the floor -walker who is appealed to in all such cases, and he must be able at all times, no matter what may be the trouble to afford a solution of the problem. And then some- times a olerk will become impudent to a customer, and it is then the duty of the floor -walker to report the olerk to the nienager. If he fails in this and the customer makes the complaint the floor- walker is held responsible. So it goee, one thing end another, to keep the floor- walker's wits active. "Otto of the greatest tests that marks the successful floor -walker is hie thorough knowledge of bueinese. That is, in every Genoa of the term. Beyond fulfilling the duties assigned him he should be a praoti- cal business man, and aot juet as though it was his own store and he was doing all he could to promote the growth and wel- fare of the ooncern. He must be thorongbly acquainted with the prices of anything in his department, and able to tell at a glanoe whether or not the clerk is dealing fairly with the customer and the house. Now, for instance, this oashboy brings me this pair of gloves that has just been sold ; I will sign the check, and then the money, gloves, and oheok will be sent to the wrapping counter. It was my base nese to know positively before I signed that check that the proper amount had been charged for that pair of gloves. " This is a business that requires a cool head, a mind adapted to baeiness, and nothing else. If the floor walker attends to his business he picko up e list of acquaintances that are invaluable to him. He ehould be able to have hie particular customers, and be able to reoogiaize them when he sees them. These are the points which constitute a good floor -walker." Polly's Poor Opinion. Texas Siftings: Polly sent us a joke the other day. It was in a daintily scented envelope and carefully inscribed, with all the little dotlets over the i'e, on e small portion of one page of a large, expensive sheet of elegant linen paper.

London Star: The following is a transla- tiOn Of the national anthem of the new Brazilian republic: "The eyes of the Dy God never more will See The slave in his chains pine and die; We are brothers who'd die for our liberty. Tyrants all, we your power defy. All are free in our glorious nation, In the future united are we, While our ilag waves with wild exultation We will sing of our land of the free. From the Yperanga, bark ! 'Tis the ery sublime Of faith and of hope for our land. Come, arise, 0 Brazil! 'tie the holy time; Forward, all—'tis your country's command, From thy minds the royal purple banish And in glory advance to the fore. Then, Brazil, all thy foemen will vanish, And triumplumt thou'lt be evermore." The " spooney " Couple. (Chicago Times.) It doesn't matter whereyou stray, Go where you will by night or day, Sly Cupid's over" mahing bay He doesn't waste a minute, Between the daylight and the dark. In railway trains. hotel and park, There's not a epot you cannot mark A spooney couple in it. At church or play, there, too, one spies Some couple malting honeyed eyes, With sweetest smiles and softest sighs— They're certain to begin it, Until at length you gravely doubt, If you should search the world about, That you could find a spot without A apooney couple in it. And who would have it changed? Would you? I love to hear the lovers coo, And in their softest lisping woo Some gentle heart and win it, In all of life there should not he, From Eden to eternity, A place without—it seems to me— A spooney couple in it. An Australian National, Anthem. Maker of earth and sea, What shall we render Thee? All things are thine— Ours but from day to day Still with one heart to pray "God bless our land alway This land of Thine." Mighty in brotherhood, Mighty for God and good, Let us be Thine, Here let the nation see Toil from the curse setfree, Labor and Liberty One cause—and Thine, Here let Thy peace abide; Never may strife divide This laud of Thine. Lotus united stand, One great Australian band, Heart to heart, hand in hand, Heart and hand Thine. Strong to defend our right, Proud in all nations' sight, Lowly in Thine— One in all noble fame, Still be our path the same, Onward in freedom's name, Upward in Thine. AN OLD HtfliTER Tells of the Trials of the Early Devi ot Agriculture in Alberta District. Sam. Livingstone, one of the oldest and best known men of the Northwest Terri. tory, is with the Calgary E X13 ibit ,at the Great Central Fair. Sam never saw a locomotive or train of care until he took this trip east. He emigrated from Ireland when quite a young man, epent e considerable time in the California gold diggings, then joined the sarveying parties that were engaged by Government to locate the line between the two coun- tries. He was the "hunter" of the sur- veyors, and had to keep them supplied with food clueing their trying travels through unexplored regions. Sam. had many a narrow escape from being gobbled up by wild beasts or tomahawked by In- dians. In 1862 he struck away from these pursuits, and crossing the Missouri River settled in Altee. a, a few ranee from Calginy, where he hes liveever since. " For three or four years," said Sam to a IDLES representative last night, "1 was the only white man in that territiner who lived outside of a Hudson Bay Comnany'a stockade. I settle3 on lend and the Sarcee and Blaokfeet Indians did an they could to dislodge me. For the first few crops they led me a patty lively damn I swear to you that the first ploughing I did was with a, Winchester rifle on the plough, and my wife (poor area- ture, who was too nee eons to stay in our hut) carrying the baby by my side. We lived exclueively on Buffalo meat and I felt better then than I ever felt in my life. Buffed° were very runner. cue; there was a perfeot wall of them. I have got up in the morning and found them rubbing up against our shanty. What a cleaning out et this noble and usefel brute has there been.

The habitual drunkard in Norway or Sweden renders himself liable to imprison. ment for his love of strong drink, and dur- ing his incarceration he is required to sub- mit to a plan of treatment for the cure of his failing which is said to produce marvel - one results. The plan, says the "Family Doctor," consists in making the delinquent subsist entirely on bread and wine. The bread is steeped in a bowl of wine for an hour or more before the meal is served. The first day the habitual toper takes his food in this shape without any repugnance; the second day he finds it less agteeable to his palate ; finally he positively loathes the sight of it. Experience shows that a period of from eight to ten days of this regime is generally more than sufficient to make a, man evince the greatest aversion to anything in the shape of wine. Many men, after their incarceration, become total ebsteiners. It Cheets Honest Men.
