The sad story of Ellen McCalrs Life and


NEW YORK, July 18-In q dark bedroom
on the second floor of No. 469 Fourth Avenue,
on yesterday, lay the body of Ellen Mccall,
II years of age, who took poison. Her thin,
pale hands were calmly crossed upon her
breast, and her rich brown hair fell in coils
around her shoulders.
In the morning she was in good health and
spirit, playing with her little seven-year old
sister and singing merrily. By noon-time
she was found lying by the side of her bed
and partially under 1t, a corpse. She had just
returned home last Friday from Boston, after
finishing an engagement OF two weeks with
Rice's Evangeline Company. She played
minor parts, for which she received but slight
pay. During her absence her household af-
fairs did not prosper as her mother was on q
visit to friends in Buffalo, and the young peo-
ple two girls end two boys, were left to shift
for themselves.
The destitute condition Of the family grieved
her greatly, and she became Respondent. To
add to her troubles her mother w@s arrested
priating q sum Of $3250, which had been left
in her charge some days previously by mis-
take. 1t appears that an express messenger
called at 469 Fourth Avenue with a money
package sent from Boston to a Mr.. Ingham.
Mrs. Mccall answered the messengers bell,
and, as stated she signed for the package and
appropriated the contents. She threatened to
bring suit against the express company for
false imprisonment, as she maintains her in
nOcence.
Her arrest and Imprisonment, however,
preyed upon her daughters mind, and this,
together with the household difficulties, nc
doubt unsettled the girls reason and
prompted her to the rash act. 1t appears
Ellen was engaged to be married to a wealthy
and respectable young man named Edward
Roop, who is employed in hat box factory
| in RuffaiO.

Business Almost wholly suspended-Men
Refusing 90 GO to work.

lChiCaR0 TtmeSl
ST. LOUIS, July 16.-At II o'clock Joseph
Tiernan, prominent real estate dealer, while
talking to his partner A. A. Lancaster, a well
known and popular politician and capitalist,
fell to the floor insensible. Lancaster rushed
out for ice, and, on his return, fell prostrate
himself, and though both were revived, both
are in a critical condition.
These and numerous similar authentic re-
ports greatly excited the people, and business
men refused to go into the streets. Many suf-
fered serious inconvenience in their business
by their refusal to venture into the sun. At
an early hour several visitors to the levee
where the sun came down with merciless
effect upon the white stones, fell insensible.
A roustabout fell, expired imm ediately, and
was taken to the Morgue. The alarm was SO
intense among the river hands that they re-
fused to load and unload boats during midday,
and river commerce suffered seriously. Inn
mense cargoes of grain were at the Wharves
to be discharged, but the stevedores In most
cases refused to put their men to work, At
the mills and factories, also, where the heat
was intensified, and where many were pros
trated, large numbers of workmen refused to
work, and work in several large establish
ments was almost suspended. On Change
several prominent miIlers discussed the situa-
tion, and it is stated automatically agreed to
suspend work tomorrow, and not to resume
until there is a change in the weather.

Ne1v Yorlt ewpItcrInr.

New YORK, July 1S-The prediction made
by the officers at the signal office In Washing
ton, that the great heat wave which enveloped
st. Louis during the early part Of the week
would reach this city to-day, has been amply
verified. At O'Clock this morning its adj
vance was announced, the thermometer gradu-
ally rising until at noon it registered g3o In
the shade-the hottest day In the year, so far
as this region is concerned. The sun beat on
the streets and housetops with an intensity
seldom known.
At / o'clock this afternoon but one sunstroke
patient had been received, and that was a
boy. The surgeons were surprised, as they
had anticipated busy day. From news re-
oeived from the police stations and up town
hospitals 1t appears that no fatal cases had
been announced. At IA o'clock the record
was g6 degrees, and an hour later 81. In con-
sequence Of the intense heat the postmaster
directed that all letter carriers be relieved
- Il II
In Brooklyn the heat was so oppressive
that business was partially suspended Sew
eral cases OF sunstroke are reported.

Criticism OF BeacOnsfieId's Speech-Angry
Dispute Between Derby and Salisbury.

LONDON, July 18.-Tn the House of Lords
this evening the Right Hon. Earl of Granville,
In brief speech, mildly criticised the speech
of Lord Beaconsfield. An angry conversation
then occurred between Earl Derby and the
Marquis of Salisbury, and caused an unusual
sensation throughout the House.
Earl Derby said that he had left the Cabinet
because the government had resolved upon
sending secret expedition from India to oc-
cupy the Island Of Cyprus and the Syrian
ports, against the will Of the Sultan, il neces-
sary.
The Marquis of Salisbury, in replying to
the Earl Of Derby, very emphatically said
that the statement was untrue.
Upon this there was great uproar among
the members, many of whom rose to their
feet, whereupon the Marquis Of Salisbury
substituted the word unauthentic In place OF
untrue.
Earl Derby reiterated his remarks, when
the House was adjourned amid the widest
confusion,

Review of the work eff the Congress-
The Peace of Europe secured.
LONDON, july 1S.-IThis afternoon, as 1t was
known that Beaconsfield WouId explain and
vindicate England's action at Berlin, the
House of Lords was filled with brilliant
aSSemblage. The attendance of peers was 80
large that all the red benches were filed. On
the steps Of the throne were several members
Of the royal family. The galleries contained
a large number of ladies of rank and fashion,
and all the members of the diplomatic corps
in London were present.
In rising to speak, Earl Beconsfeld, who
was looking remarkably well, said that Eng
land had conferred an inestimable boon upon
Europe and the world by inducing Russia to
assent to the notifications that had been
made in Berlin to the treaty of San Stefano.
England had secured the peace of the cOnti-
nent; she had advanced the cause of civiliza-
tion and Christianity; she had given to her
faithful ally and friend, the Sultan, q territory
secure from invasion; she had provided for
the enjoyment OF equality and OF religious
freedom in all his dominions, and In the new
provinces; she had obtained the Independence
OF Montenegro and Servta, and by handing
the protectorate of Bosnia and Herzegovina
to Austria. she had provided for the safety
and welfare of their Inhabitants.
He justified the line Of Eastern Roumelia
and the GessiOn of Sofia and BatOum. Eng
land, he said, had always resisted the parti-
tion of Turkey, as it would involve Europe
and Asia in constant struggles. All the Eu-
ropean powers, Russia Included, were now
unanimously of the opinion that for the best
interests of Europe the Sultan should remain
great power in the world.
England would not be justified In going into
long and expensive war to prevent Russia
from acquiring Kars and Batoum, and the
Russian demands had therefore been con-
ceded.
The object Of the Anglo-Tnkish conven-
tion for the occupation Of Cyprus by England
was not a military object. He urged Turkey
to treut Greece tfitt With 8 consistent Hheralitv
and said that Greece must learn patience
In conclusion, the Premier said that Eng
land had notified Russia that she could 20
thus far and no farther; Asia was large
enough for both: England was resolved to
defend Turkey from any further attacks from
Russia. The occupation of Cyprus by Eng
land was not a war measure, but @ step In
the progress of peace. He assured his hear
ers that England did not fear war with any
nation, nor did she seek war. He said the
congress throughout had been marked by an
earnest spirit Of good will and true states
manship.
Throughout his speech Beaconsfield was
repeatedly cheered, and he sat down amid
enthusiastic applause. A large crowd col
lected in the plaza between Westminster Alb
bey and the peers entrance OF the House of
Lords greeted him with cheers upon his ar
rival and departure.
