To Revise the Present Tariff

New YORK, Sept. 10.-An effort is be-
ing made to hold a convention of manu-
features, agriculturists and artisans in
this city, the object of which is to urge
upon Congress the appointments of a
committee TO revise the present tariff in
the interest of American industry. The
executive committee having the matter
in charge, is composed of many of the
foremost men in the country, the west
being well represented. Among the
subjects likely to be considered by the
convention are the following: First, a
revision of tariff in the interest OF
American labor; second, a review of the
industries that are destroyed or greatly
impaired by foreign competition, be
cause of erroneous treasury rulings or
defective laws; third, the abolition of in
ternal taxes in the whole or part; fourth

An Appeal tor Aid.

PoRT HURON, Sept. 12-To the Amer
ican people: We have tonight returned
from the burnt district of Huron and
Lamlac counties. We have seen the
burned, disfigured and writhing bodies
of men, women and children; rough
board collins containing the dead, fol
lowed TO the grave by few blinded, de-
spairing relatives; crowds of half-starv-
ed people at some of the stations asking
bread for their families and neighbors.
We hear of more than two hundred
victims burned, and more charred and
bloated bodies being daily discovered.
lilies are found to be utterly destitute
and homeless. They huddle in barns,
in school houses and in their
neighbors' houses, scorched, blind
ed, hopeless, sore and still
wander half crazed around the ruins
of their habitations vainly seeking their
dead. Some are in speechless agony,
wringing their hands and refuse to be
comforted. More than ten thousand
who only week ago occupied happy,
comfortable homes are today hoaseleSS
and homeless sufferers. They were
hungry and almost naked when found
and in such great numbers and SO wide
ly scattered that our best efforts and
greatest resources fail to supply their
Immediate wants. Without speedy aid
many will perish and many more will
suffer or become exiles. Our people
will do their utmost for their relief, but
all our resources would fail to
meet their necessities. We appeal
to the charity and generosity of the
American people to send help without
delay. (Signed) E. C. Carleton, mayor

The Blue Cut Train Robbers.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 10.-EIght of the
Chicago s. Alton train robbers have been
arrested. This is about two-thirds of
the number actually engaged in the
robbery. Among those arrested are
Andy Ryan, Jro. Land, VIM. hurry and
jim Wilkinson. The latter is the man
who personated Jesse James during the
progress of the robbery, while Land
represented the notorious Dick Little.
Matt Chapman, who was arrested near
Oak Grove, is supposed to know all
about the robbery and has given the Of
ficers some good points. 1t was he who
put them on the track of John LAND,
against whom circumstantial evidence Is
strong enough to convict.
KANSAS CRY, Mo, Sept. 10.-At 10
O'Clock tonight there was absolutely no
new developments concerning the train
robbers. No other arrests have been
made to-day, and little light thrown on
the matter. Marshall Murphy and his
deputies are still securing the country
for the balance of the gang, whose names
it IS believed they have through the con-
fession of Matt. Chapman. The officials
are very reticient, and refuse to let
the reporters talk with the pris.
oners. They seem to be very con.
f1dent they have the right men,
but will not make the evidence public.
It is expected the officers will arrive in
Independence tonight, with more pris-
oners. By private note l sent the re,
port last night as soon as the news
reached here from independence, which
is the objective point. 1t was filed before
II O'Clock. 1t is not Chief Speers, but
Marshal Leggett, who thinks whole.
sale arrest roaring farce. The general
opinion here is that some of the men ar
rested are guilty and can be convicted.
We have reporters at Sedalia depot, and
if there are any further developments
will report as soon as received.

his most unfavorable days, and often
times / take his general condition as

improvement, while it would be almost
impossible to point out any particular
symptom which had materially changed.
There has been great improvement since
last night"

much encouraged to-day, and says that
the surgeons are confident the alarming
features of lung trouble have passed

better; that he had q good nights rest
and IT was having good effect. He
had taken nourishment freely, and had
some milk punch with brandy; that the

Complications.

LONG BRANCH, Sept. 1.-THE figures
Of the evening bulletin caused much
anxiety, especially when it was ascer-
tanned that there had been more or less
fever all day, notwithstanding the an
nouncement made at 10 o'clock that the
temperature and respiration were about
normal. It appears this statement was
the result of an estimate rather than an
actual examination, and when the ex-
animation was made, shortly after Col.
Rockwell made the statement referred
TO, the temperature was found to be
above normal, as is shown by the even

Obituary.


Mr.. EDIToR:-I want to say word con-
the Western Union telegraph office in your
city. Although not personally acquainted
with him save as the telegraph wires disclosed
his character day by day, and brought me
knowledge of him. His loss is felt and de-
plored, as the loss of faithful and most ac-
curate transmtter of telegraph business, and
among those OF his friends and acquaintance,
as an amiable, sympathetic and affectona to
companion; his earefulness in transmitting
messages over the wire was extreme and al
though his frequent repetition of an obscure
word might sometimes have caused impatience
in the receiving operator who had clearly read
his faultless writing from the first, there is not
business man in your community who would
not have sincerely thanked him for this very
extremity of carefulness. Indeed, in one in
stance it is related of him that his unwearied
palnstaking was rewarded by generous pres
ent of money from gentleman who declared
his high appreciation of Mr. Hayes faithful
ness ia the transmission Of messages. 1t is an
ambition among certain of the telegraph COM
munity to excel in rapidity of writing over the
wire, and with such, there is no JOY more salts
flying than to salt (perplex) some poor opera
tor who tries in VAIN TO receive and copy the
rushing dots aad dashes, and is forced to ask
for a repetition. Such an ambition seemed
never to form part of the character OF our de-
ceased friend, but an ambition, rather, that
every message transmitted by him should be
unmistakable and thoroughly understood,
wisely judging that his salary was for this pur-
pose and Tor this alone. His social relations
with those connected with him in.the office
and elsewhere were most endearipg, amicable
and brotharly. That his friendly greeting
and his considerable kindness to all with whom
he had dealing upon the wires, will come no
more forever, is 4 thought awakening profound
sorrow and regret. Yours, &C.,
IT
