Brown, Agent and Warden of Sing sing Prison: • Teustration of a Plot to Murder the Police of Middlesboro, Ky. A Middlesboro, Ky., despatch says : A desperate attempt was made to assassinate the Middlesboro police force yesterday afternoon. About 3 o'clock a lot of dis- reputable characters whp, frequent Gun -$5grings, a-low-drinkin'-and gambling -dive , just outside the city limits, concocted the plan to murder the officers. They . accord-. angly stationed about fifteen of their gang an ambush along" the Louisville and Nash- ville road, and two of their number began firing their Winchesters. ' These two were Gillies Johnson and Frank Rossimins. Chief Maples, with a posse of officers, went in pursuit of the pair, and were led into an ambush. Over a hundred shots were ex- changed. Special officer Dorsey Williams was shot through both thighs and Patrol- man Tupper was shot in the leg. The police force was forced to retire. A posse of 100 citizens, armed with rifles, soon captured both desperadoes and lodged them in jail. About 4 o'clock this 'morning a crowd of masked men entered . Jailer Doolittle's sleeping apartments at the city jail, and with pistols to his head demanded the keys to the jail. The jailer was forced, to give up the keys. The crowd then'went into the jail, took Rossimins out; and led him to the big bridge ever Canal and Twentieth street, where he was shot several times. A rope was then fastened about his neck, and he was swung over the side of the bridge until 7 o'clock, when he was cut down. A card was tacked on' the bridge rail, just above the body, bearing this inscription : 4' Warning -This is the fate of all would - bus, -the wature lgubd haling Served as phy sicians at the executions:by electricity this morning of James 3.

The Death -Dealing Cyclone Swoops Down Upon West Superior. A West Superior, Wis., despatch says : In an instant this afternoon, by the' giant play of a cyclone, half a hundred human beings were caged in a death trap. A.num- ber of buildings were ravaged throughout the city, but the extraordinary climaxof the storm--was-••enacted--in-the--hotel-.being-con. strutted at the intersection of Lamborn and Third streets. Over two score unfortunate workmen were the victims. Scarcely'five minutes elapsed from the moment when the men, • full of energy, were progress- ing with their tasks till the frightful whirl was miles distant in its path of de- struction and the remains of the begrimed' and. mangled men in the ill-starred hostelry were being brought out • of the debris. It was with the utmost difficulty that the un- dertaking of getting at the real extent of the disaster was prosecuted: Two corpses dragged from the rains formed the basis of about the first genuine information, and dispelled the faint hope that no life had been sacrificed outright. The rescuers were hindered and the misery of the wounded doubly intensified by water -soaked garments, the result of the downpour of rain that ac- companied the atmospheric eddy. While the dead and wounded were being con- veyed from the hotel, vague reports began coming in -of the wreck wrought in other localities. The indications were that the damage in the country district would be, almost unprecedented in this section. be murderers. » NEW MEXICO'S VISITATION. The Dreaded Grasshoppers Overrunning the North' and West. A San Antonio despatch says' : S. P. Lawson, a prominent stockman of Deming, N. M., has arrived here, and gives an account of the grasshopper ravages in the northern and western counties of New Mexico, where he says the hoppers are doing incalculable harm. Some farthers consider them the seventeen year locusts, which ravaged the west during the seventies. The locusts are moving east and north in two principal swarm$. They have stripped veg- etation and the leaves of the trees and left nothing but, the' dry alkali earth where they have struck the ground. Where the land is cultivated they have ravaged the groimd 'of everything in sight. They move in bunches four and five miles wide. One bunch has devastated Colfax and Moira in the north- ern part of the territory and is spreading into Colorado, Kansas and the Pan. Handle of Texas, while another bunch will reach the Central Texas line by. winter. • They do, not make much progress after flying, but the eggs they lay hatch, sand a new batch flies eastward. They will keep moving in this way andlay billions of eggs in Texas and ,Kansas for next season's hatching. DOMINION PARLIAMENT Mr. Blalock introduced a bill to amend the Consolidated.Revenue and Audit ,Act.

He said that a reference to that statement showed the gross amount of the warrants to be $1,310,876.38, and it appeared from this statement that there was only expended $750,646.60. In addition to the precautions at present provided for, before the Gover- nor -General's warrant could issue, he pro- t- tRr '-��� �-of the service to r w�chmthe flaying c ge , grant is asked, should set forth ori the face of it the facts and circumstances which warranted him in asking for this. special grant, that that report shall be referred to the Minister of Finance for his endorsation, after which it shall go to the Minister of Justice.

Jealous/ Baird's _Brutality Spoils Mrs. Langtry's Beauty. A London cable says : Several'stories are afloat with regard. to Abingdon Baird's assault on Mrs. Langtry, about which there has been a good deal of gossip. The follow- ing story was told by some one who saw Mrs. Langtry just after the assault had been committed, with the blood streaming from her face : Some if time ' M Baird bought ago r. erroug York House, Regent's Park, for Mrs. Lang- try, and also paid off •her debts in con- nection with the Princess Theatre, of which he is at present leaseholder. On a recent occasion Baird returned home unexpectedly. and found a young gentleman dining with Mrs. Langtry. Without more ado he proceeded to turn him out, and then he went for " the Lily " and knocked her down. Then he kicked her in the face in such a way that it is said she is now disfigured for life. Mrs. Langtry had to .be carried to bed and at tended by a surgeon, who declares it is • probable she will never be able to act again. Mrs. Langtry'began an action for assault against Baird, but when he sobered' up he repented of what he had done and went to the house. Then to prevent this action he paid her the sum ' of £25,000 in Bank of England notes. ROOM FOR THE LEPER. A Genuine Case of Leprosy Discovered in a New York Laundry.

E_xiled Haytlans Itesolve. A New York despatch says : The Hay- tian revolutionists who were exiled to Kingston, Jamaica, met in general assembly of June 29th and elected 'Gen. Ansellem general -in -chief of their forces. The new commander has issued an address to the people of Hayti, in wi'lich, he mat,: "I only want 'to' attain one thing, tat is to After Recess. The following bills were read a third time ; To amend an Act to incorporate the Montreal Bridge Co. • Respecting the Saskatchewan Railway and Mining Co. To incorporate the Chatsworth, Georgian Bay, and Lake Huron Railway Co. Mr. McMullen said that the- Government in pretending before the last election to be anxious to secure reciprocity on the lines of the treaty of 1854 had been guilty of prac- tising a gross fraud upon the people of Canada. The supporters of the Govern- ment were now arguing that reciprocity in natural products would be injurious to the interests of the farmers. • Mr. McMullen said the iron duties bore heavily upon the farmer. The member for Haldimand did not use iron exceptwhat was in his medical' instruments Mr. 'Montague -And in the tinctures too. (Laughter.) . Mr. McMullen said the investigation now taking place showed how loosely the affairs of the c"ti'liri'trj'had been administered, and how highly desirable it was that there should be a change. Mr. Ives moved the adjournment of the debate. Mr. Girouarcl presented the report of the Privileges' and Elections Committee, asking for a reduction of a quorum, froth 21 to 11, in order that"the committee may meet while the House is in session. The report was adopted. Si(' John Thompson, in introducing a Bill to amend the Electoral Franchise Act, said it and the two other Bills he proposed to move contained many of the recommenda- tions of the committee, to which wore sub- mitted a number of Bills on the subject in the earlypart of the session. The present Bill proposed to enact that a voter ,must be a • British subject at the tirne of being put upon the list, leaving out the words "by birth or naturalization." I.t was proposed also to extend the time for the preliminary revision by adding fifteen days, making the date of concluding it August 15th. Under the Bill no person's name could be removed from the list by reason of qualification being incorrectly stated. Another section pro- vided ,that the, revising officer as further security shall state the number of names on the list. The part of the Act relating to the declaration of British subjects would not come into force till January 1st next, as the forms were now outand an imme- diate change` would cause great incon- venience. ' Sir John Thompson, in introducing a hill to amend the Dominion Election Act, said it proposed that deposits should be made in' legal tender or in the bills of any chartered hark doing business in Canada. It was proposed to restrict the transfer of voters by way of agents to two in each polling booth. Provision was made in the case of the Joss of b. ballot box for the taking of evidence by the returning officer, and the necessary machinery was provided for get- ting an order from a Superior Court judge compelling the County Court judge to make a recount where the aggrieved. party is entitled to it. The returning roflicer shall o inquire into the ,yment of $600 to G. A. ]tlurgeois;� Tat`e�`` olZel�'1nioile + it?—ti Rivers district. Mr. Laurier said Tat he had, inquired yesterday about the absence of the Superin- tendent of the Printing Bureau. The House was informed that the gentleman referred, to was absent on leave. _ He would like to inquire whether the leave of absence was still running, and when it was to expire. TnuBIASTIO FAITH =Barn Give Jewelry,Real Estate and Children to gar -r -y on the Work. MR. A. B. SIMPSON'S N'S CAMP. [New York World.] Parson A. B. Simpson's Faith Curist camp- ' -meeting-up-at-Round-Lake is attractingwidespread attention. e' Rev. Mr. Simpson himself is the central figure, and the marvellous ability which he is exhibiting as a money rigir is rapidly giving him a world-wide reputattion. Ap- parently all that he needs to do when be - feels the need of funds to carry on his• Chris- tian Alliance is to make his wants known to 'on But .i iaa 'c.,fellowera, and they, will at st p themselves "'oi` "l fri e'Tie`aWag•''"""-' belongings and cast them at his feet. Such' is the religious fervor of the camp- meeting people that one day this week• when the preacher called for $500 to send just one more missionary to carry the. Gospel to the benighted heathen, Col. Burk- hart, of Kentucky, jumped up and pulling • his coati •' gold watch and chain out of hie " That's the way to give," cried the Rev. Mr. Simpson. " Give of your pride ; give the jeopardizing adornments of your perish- ing bodies:" This appeal so stirred his hearers that the women present began to shower their rings and jewels upon the altar. Miss Louise Shepard, ()this city, 'was ono of the first to strip off her diamond rings and bracelets and lay hem before the preacher. In a few moments $1,500 worth 'of jewelry was piled up on the pulpit desk, , and the .big congregation broke out with " Praise God, From Whom All Blessings Flow." Miss Shepard was one of the lead- ing ding belles of Saratoga.a year ago, but nbw she has become converted to the Faith- Curists' creed and is one of the most en- thusiastic followers of the. sect. Everybody seems to bo carried away by the craze, but those who saw the offerings of money and jewels the other day saw that the • peculiarity of the occasion, . was that there was no manifestation of undue excite- ment among the congregation. Those who contributed to the treasury o• f. the Alliance simply walked up to the table in front of the desk and quietly laid their gifts upon if. At one time there was quite a crowd about the pulp but there was o.disorder".o.L disturbs bout .it. After- wards Miss Sheparc and Col. Burkhart took the platform and addressed the meet- ing. It is said that Col. Burkhart has already given $10,000 in cash to help along the work of the Christian . Alliance, and•-- that many others have given money in sums from $100 to $1,000. Such contribu- tions ontribu- t ions as these are :natters of daily occurrence. -`MISS Bhe iaferi - mocha—Ames--at_, the---- Berachah Home, or House, of Rest, at 250 West Forty-eighth street, Which is the headquarters for the Christian Alliance in' this city. ' Both she and her daughter have contributed largely to the funds of the alliance, though it i`s said that they do not possess great means, and have personally interested themselves in, the work under the Rev. Mr. Simpson, the Rev. A. E. Frink and others, who are at the head of the order. Miss Shepard is 22 years old, of medium height, graceful frgure, with dark ha r and eyes. Since she became a member o Mr. Simpson's' Gospel Tabernacleanch\ professed religion some .six months ago, she has been untiring in her zeal and earnestness• for the cause of faith cure. Some of- the Members of the church believe that Miss Shepard is an heiress and possesses vast wealth, all of which she is going to devote to the cause of the Alliance. It was only a few weeks ago that Joseph Batten; a. wealthy and aged resident of Elizabeth, N. J., gave a large amount of real estate in New York city to , Mr. Simp- son's Alliance. The property deeded was worth $50,000, and 'this, in addition to pre- vious gifts by Mr. Battin to the same cause, make a total of something like $150,000. . A's Mr. Battin is a decidedly eccentric old gentleman, it was believed by many that undue influence had, been used to secure these gifts, . especially when his children were represented as very much displeased with this sort of wholesale generosity. Both the Rev. Mr. Simpson'and the Rev. Mr. Frink, however, denied that any influ- ence whatever. had been employed, and declared that they had no knowledge of Mr. Battin's intentions until they 'received the gifts. It is said that Mr. Battin is'now at Round Lake with the other worshippers at the shrine of Faith Cure and the Rev. A. B. Simpson. In addition to giving their money and jewels to spread • Gospel among the heathen, -several of the Round Lake enthusiasts have pledged their children to the service of the cause. The Rev. N. H. Walker, bf Bridgeport, Conn., got up in one of the meetings and•' announced that he would give his daughter of thirteen to the work,, as he Niko money- or oney or diamonds to contribute. Th Allianoe'• will take chargeof her and educate her, and when she reaches a proper age she will be sent out into the missionary field. • Rev.

However, he expected the Superin- tendent back in a day or two. Mr. Moncrieff said that the petroleum in- dustry at Lambton had been attacked un- fairly by_hon. gentlemen opposite. The Standara tris Company had got control of the natural gas supply in Welland county, and he objected to a foreign monopoly get- ting a foothold in the Dominion. He dis- puted the claim of the Speakers on the op- posite side of the House that reciprocity would give Canadians their oil at one-third the price now paid. Unrestricted recipro- city would check the development of the rich oil fields of Canada by placing the sup- ply of the country in the hands of 'the Americans. deliver the ffaytian people once more. , report the cc,nrlidates'who have the highest When this great work is accomplished ! number of votes to the Clerk of the Crown Hayti may confide the diction of her i in Chancery, who shall gazette them in the - future destiny to him whom it, thinks the order in which they come in most worthy." 1 Sir John Thompson moved the first read - BUNCO STEERERS IN PARIS. They Rob and Maltreat a Couple of Trust- ing Yankees. A Paris cable .says : A . couple of bunco steerers found their way over here last week., Two Americans suffered severely a their hands. The first was Charles Dresbach. The American lawyer met a fellow -citizen oro the Boulevard.-, The steerer asked for a light. The pair got intoe conversafiion, walked down Avenue de l'Opera together to the Hotel du Louvre, where they had a drink. There they were joined by another American; with a pronounced Irish accent, who introduced himself. At 3 o'clock they returned to the Boulevard, ordered dinner in a private room in the Maison d'Ore, the well-known iesfaiiisnt. Whetrthe-chum= pagne began to flow the Irish - American ' stated he had- just in- herited from an . uncle in New York a colossal fortune, amounting to from thirty to forty million dollars, a only needed money sufficient to enable him to cross the Atlantic. Mr. Dresbach promptly took out his purse and offered to pay his passage. The warm-hearted Irishman refused the offer, but' was so touched by 3Lr. Dresbach's generosity that he threw his arms around, his dear friend's neck and embraced him heartily: When he left a few minutes later Mr. Dresbach was minus his po.±et-book, which contained a $500. bill, two 20 bilis and twenty-five sovereign&. The same evening an American resent here, Mr. Charles Bnrnside, after leaving his friends at a restaurant noticed a gang of four men following him. When he reached the Rue de Provence one of them jumped on his back and another kicked him violently on the shins. 3Lr. Burnside is a burly man, full of courage, and he resisted to the utmost ; but he was finally knocked senseless by the united blows of his antagonists, who robbed him of 1,00f. and left him covered with wounds from their cowardly attack. Carry FLOODS AND LANDSLIDES Away Bridges and Wreck Houses in Penusyivania. A Pittsburg despatch say's : The tem- porary trestle of a new Panhandle Railway bridge across Cork's Run, six miles below this city, was washed away by a sudden flood yesterday and three workmen were drowned. The body of one was recovered and identified as that of Thomas Coleman. The other two were foreigners, andtheir names have not yet been learned. About the same time an immense landslide came down the hill below Dequesne heights and fell on a Chartiers street car. The roof was crushed in, but none of the passengers were injured. It has been raining hard since 11 o'clock on Friday night, and considerable damage by washouts and landslides is reported along the lines of the railroads. All the small streams -are running bank full. A RASH OFFICER Slays a Man Whom the Czar Has Acciden- tally Wounded. A St. Petersburg despatch says : The latest rumor regarding attempts upon the life of . the Czar, which rumor .caused a momentary terror in St. 'Petersburg, was that an officer had tried to murder the Czar with an axe. The report arose from the fact that the Czar was amusing himself in a forest chopping a tree, when the head of the axe flew ofl�and struck an attendant in the face, wounding him. The Czar went to the assistance of the wounded man and got some blood on his hands and. clothes. An officer of the guard approached them and thought the Czar was in danger. He called upon some soldiers to rescue His Majesty, and before an explanation could be made the wounded attendant was cut down by the over -zealous soldiery. The Czar caused the officer to be punished for his action.
