SPORT.
From Frisco to New York.


New York, Sept. 4.-Denis Collins,
who left San Francisco on the 1st Of
June to walk to New York, on bet of
$500, was found at Harry Hills last
night, having reached here shortly after
four O'Clock this afternoon. He looked
the picture of health, and said: was
to have walked right to the depot on
Forty-second street, but the officials
would not let me do so on account of
the tunnel, SO had to come the last
portion of my journey by the road. 1t
was very pleasant trip, and my aver
age for ninety-five days of the walk
equals about thirty-fve miles a day.
The weather was pleasant. 1 did not
find any inconvenience from the heat
until arriving at Albany; then for the
first time during the whole walk began
to feel unwell, my feet panied me, and
my ankles began to swell. I was afraid
at first that 1 was going to be real sick,
but got over it and am as well now as
ever was, and am ready to start back,
walking, if anybody cares to wager
against me. l am to get thousand
dollars for this.

Rome, Sept. A. The Italia ire
denta question is exciting renewed at
tention in consequence Of the recent
pamphlet issued by Col. Haymerle,
brother of Count Andrassy's probable
successor as Austro-Hungarian pre-
mier, stating that it is fomented by
unscrupulous men who are actuated by
the lust of conquest, and that the
hatred of Austria is encouraged in
Italy because it is thought province
could be more easily 6lched from Aus
tria any other power.
The Liberia, a conservative organ,
and having more moderate views
on foreign policies than the newspapers
of the left, replying to the pamphlet,
says: Austria cant't expect that Italy
should declare the italian provinces,
still under Austrian sway, to belong to
Austria by full right, and shall con-
tinue to do so indefinitely. On the
other hand Italy cannot claim that
Austria should, merely to please her,
restore valuable provinces. AS Italy
cannot think of making war in hel
present condition, and Austria cannot
attack Italy merely for having certain
aspirations, both parties should stoI
making insecure and stereotyped de
! clarations.

POLITICAL.

How Cornelrs Nomination is Accepted.
New York, Sept. 4.-The Times,
while not attempting to conceal the
chagrin over .Cornell's nomination,
says: Now that the convention has
spoken, its verdict will be accepted by
all who participated in it, as the voice
of the party. The good qualities of the
nominees may be chiefly negative, but
there are at least not points of positive
badness about any of them. 1t says,
though all are trained politicians, we
know no accusation of corruption or
taint of psculation which can be al
legged in regard to any one member.
The Times shows that Conkling's
power has wanea since the last presi-
Dental convention, Notwithstanding
the success of yesterday, and estimates
that the anti-machine republicans have
gained 33 per cent. within the past
three years, measured by the votes in
the convention.
The Tribune complacently accepts
the result with an 81 told you so" air,
and says: Cornell has not up to this
campaign been its choice for any Office.
If the republicans had followed our
preferences he would not be now. But
it argues that it would have been vain
to attempt to stem the rural opposition,
and his popularity is steadily increas-
ing. He is not an inspiring candidate,
but will prove good one. He is as
old, as tried and as true republican as
any of his opponents. He is better
organizer than any Of them; has more
experience of an executive sort than
any of them, and those who suppose
from the temporary pother raised in
this city that the son of Ezra Cornell
is going to prove unpopular in New
York will find their mistake on elec-
tion day.
The Public says: There is not much
sense in these ebullitions of feeling.
Very few sincere republicans would
refuse to support Cornell at the risk of
promoting the election of Tilden to the
presidency. 1t is whispered also that
the nomination of Cornell will render
Kelly more inclined to carry out his
threat that Robinson should not be
elected again.

Fur,her Par,ieulars Of ,he storm

New Orleans, Sept. 4.-The storm
on Monday lasted from noon until ten
O'Clock at night, and did great dam
age to property in the town. The loss
in buildings, fencing. crops, etc., in the
county is incalculable. From every
section of the parish comes the sad tale
of great destruction of the cotton and
corn crops. The cane is levelled with
the ground and will hardly be able to
recover. The losses in town, indepen-
dent of coal and ferry boats, is estimat-
ed at $4,000. The roof of Henry Won
Phelps sugar house fell in and killed
twenty out Of twenty-eight mules
placed in there for safety. Fifty yards
of the wall around the penitentiary
was demolished, part of the building
unroofed and the machinery damaged.

A Strange State Of Affairs.

Washington, Sept. 4.-The estimates
for the iron work on the proposed ex-
tension wing of the new state, war and
navy building, recently invited from
prominent iron manufacturers and con-
tractors throughout the country, have,
In the majority of cases, ELECTED state
ments showing it to be impossible for
them to undertake the contract on ac-
count of orders ahead. Usually gov
ernment work of this kind is eagerly
sought, on account of the good prices
and prompt payment. Now, instead Of
being embarrassed to decide between
bidders, it is likely to experience some
difticulty in getting proper persons to
do the work.

Two Sets of Books.

Boston, Sept. 4.-Charles Drumond,
late treasurer Of the Home missionary
society, was arrested this afternoon
charged with embezzlement and various
Irregularities. Drumond's official bad
conduct was discovered last spring, and
examination of the books shows a de-
falcation of about five thousand dol
lars. The warrant of arrest charges
Drumond with embezzlement of various
sums between March 18th, 1877, and
January 22d, 1878. 1t was discovered
in the investigation that Drumond
kept practically two sets of books. He
had cash book in which he kept a
running account of moneys received,
and at the end of the month this ac-
count was journalled and the items
classified, and in the latter process he
dropped from the record such sums as
he appropriated to his own use. Dru-
mond had not obtained bail up to a late
hour

Warren Tate,s Case.

Indianapolis, Sept. 4.-The fine of
$4,000 imposed by Judge Burns on
Warren Tate for contempt of court for
shooting William Love last November
in the corridor adjoining the court
room, was to-day set aside by the gen.
eral term of the superior court. So it
goes that Tate will not suffer any pun
ishment for the murder of Love.

ELECTION RETURNS
KALLocH ELECTED MAYOR.
Close Race for Governor Between the
Republican and Worl<ingmen's
Candidates City Returns
SO Far, Republicans
% Majority.

San Francisco, Sept. 4.-The scatter
ing returns from all the counties except
few not in telegraphic connection,
give Perkins 4,675, Glenn 3,6SS, and
White 1851. The returns are mostly
from small country precincts and in
clude but very few votes in the large
interior towns. The latest returns from
the city shows Perkins 1872, Glenn
2S7 and White 1,439. 1t is generally
admitted that Perkins will be elected
by handsome plurality. The working
men have probably elected Morrison
chief justice, he being endorsed by the
democrats. They are also likely to
eleat McKinstray, Mckee, Thornton
and Ross who are also endorsed by the
democrats and have probably also re-
ceived many republican votes. Stone
man, who is on all the tickets, except
the republican, for railroad COM
missioner, is elected. The republicans
will probably elect Cone and Phelps
from the northern and city districts.
With the above exceptions the republi-
cans have undoubtedly elected the
whole state ticket and four congress-
men, though the third district is doubt
full. In the city the vote for mayor, as
far as counted, stands, Kalloch 1,6l1,
Flint 1870, Griswold 65. Kalloch's
election is generally conceded, though
not assured. 1t is expected, too, that
the workingmen have probably elected
the sheriff and district attorney and
probably auditor and city and county
attorney. Otherwise it is believed that
the republicans have made sweep of
the city ticket.
San Francisco, Sept. 4.-The latest
returns of the city give White, I, 7,445;
Glenn, 1881; Perkins, 7,46s; Kalloch,
s,2S6; Griswold, 1863; Flint, 1859.

Three Men and a Mob.

San Francisco, Sept. A dispatch
from Ukiah, Mendocino county, says
Mijah Frost, Bige Gibson and Tom Nc
Cracken were taken from the constable
at Willet's last night and hung by a
mob. The three men were under ar
rest for the larceny of saddle and
some horses. Rumor has it that many
things have been missed lately, and
these parties were suspected of beieg
the thieves. Frost was son of Elijah
Frost, who was killed some years ago in
shooting scrape with the Root boys.
He has been out Of state prison but
eight months, having been sent there
from Red Bluffs for horse stealing.

R. R. COLLISION.
WITH SERIOUS Loss OF LIFE.
An Excursion and Freight Train Col
lide on the Atlantic City Road
Conductor and Four
Others Killed.

Philadelphia, Aug. 1.-THE collision
ON the Atlantic City narrow guage rail-
road this afternoon, between an excur-
sion train of nine cars and freight
train from Atlantic City. resulted in
the death of five persons, and slightly
injuring two others. The freight train
expected to reach Clementon to allow
the excursion train to pass, but when
nearing Clementon the trains came in
sight of each other. The engineers
whistled down brakes and the freight
train slowed up considerably. The ex-
cursion train was going at the rate of
about fifteen miles an hoar when the
engines came together. The freight
train was partly thrown over an en-
bankment, but the excursion train re-
mained on the track. The engineers
and firemen finding collision was in
evitable, saved Themselves by leaping.
When the whistle blew the conductor
of the excursion train rushed to one of
the brakes and two brakemen to the
others, and these, in the collision, were
jammed to death, together with deaf
mute boy and a passenger who were
standing on the platforms. The pas
sengers in the cars were not injured,
except two, slightly. The three hun
dred passengers, men, women and chill
dren, were taken from the cars through
the windows. Some continued the trip
to the seaside, but the far greater num-
ber returned home. The bodies of
the dead were taken to their former
ronilannoa

Reporter-How about the various
rumors concerning the c. b. & O.?
Mr.. Lowell-As regards the c. b. &
Q. and Omaha, the question is one of
transportation west of the Missouri
The D. & NJ. is ready to transact for
the transportation of this stock TO
Omaha as well as to Plattsmouth.
Reporter-What connection has the
G. b. & Q. with the present trouble?
Mr.. LowelI-The c. B. s. Q. had no
connection with nor knowledge of this
difficulty until this rupture. That road
(the c. B. & O. is our natural ally
and connection, and carries the bulk of
our business; but our line has been,
and will be, open to Omaha shippers,
and every mile built by the B. Il NJ.
increases the territory for the Omaha
merchants to do their jobbing. And you
can judge yourself of how much impor-
tance it may be to Omaha to have few
hundred car loads of cattle carried
through the town on their way east.
Reporter-How did the fight between
your company and the Union Pacific
originate?
Mr.. Lowell-The trouble has entirely
arisen from the transportation of live
stock raised in northwestern Nebraska.
The B. & NJ. claims that as its line
runs to Kearney Junction, lying north
of the Platte and at the eastern border
of the stock raising region that they
are entitled to carry share of the bus
iness, and that such differential rates
shall be made from Kearney and other
points west of there as will give the
stock shippers fair opportunity to ship
from Kearney, and give the b. & NJ
fair show of carrying part of the bus
mess from Kearney. The Union Paci-
fic claims that no paIt of the north
western stock belongs to, or shall be
carried by the B. & NJ, and demands
that such tariff shall be established at
Kearney as will force the stock to be
shipped from points west of there, and
threatens very serious consequences to
the b. & NJ. if they endeavor to carry
any of the stock. The B. & NJ. believe
they are right, and do not propose to
be dragooned into compliance with
the demands of the Union Pacific
'Hinc ill9 lachrymn." (Hence these
steers.)

London, Aug. 14.-A dispatch from
South Africa, dated Port Durnford,

another effort to-day to ascertain if his
liberty would be granted him if he

Advices from Transvaal represent
that ex-president Joubert refuses to
pay his taxes.
