No Extension Tickets.

In a laudable desire to accommo-
date the public in every manner the
Jefferson Club, in perfectlng the de
tails Of their Coney Island Excursion
on Thursday, 1lth inst, endeavored
to effect an arrangement by which
persons desiring to remain IN New
York a few days could return on
their excursion tickets, by the regu.
lar trains, on the payment ofa small
extra sum. This arrangement how
ever could not be made, but it will
be seen by letter from the General
Ticket Agent of the Penn. r. R.,
published in the advertising columns
Of to days paper, that while this
favor is denied to the Jefferson Club
it will also be denied to all other
parties, and no other excursion can
truthfully be advertised to offer this
inducement.

Progress OF the Land Bill.

LONDON, August Sit is believed
that the Government will give way on
the Duke of ArgylPs amendment to the
Land bill giving the landlord light 10
compensation IN case of the sale of a
holding OF which be had formerly bought
up the tenant right. On Lord Emly's
amendment 10 omit that part of clause
20 which defines three-fourths as the
competent number of tenants for the
purchase Of an estate, The Government
will probably consent to make two
thirds of the tenants the competent
number instead OF three-fourths. In
this respect the amendment in the House
of Lords will go further in the direction
of peasant proprietary than the original
bill.
In the House Of Lords last evening
the Irish Land bill was read for the third
time.

BRADLAUGM BADLY HURT.
His Friends Alarmed Over His
Condition.

LONDON, August 8.-Later accounts
concel ming Bradlaugh's condition
strengthen the fears that the injuries
he received while being expelled from
the House Of Commons on "Wednesday
last may prove fatal. The police Off
GERS, who are believed to be ut heart ON
his side assert that they did not strike
him, and only used sufficient force to
remove him and these statements are
generally believed. But others than
the police officers mixed in the strug-

we're bruises upon his head and aim.
He is a man of full habit and of a
naturally strong cons tuition but his
life has been a wearing one, and it will
be remembered that on his first visit
to the United States, some years ago,
he was taken SO dangerously i'll that
no was removed to st. Luke's Hos
pital, where his convalescenee was
long protracted. His strength since
then has been apparent, rather than
real, and was principally nervous

On the day following his expulsion
fIom the lobby sy mptoms of erysipelas
appeared, and his surgeons advised him
TO keep quiet. But he went down TO
Northampton OH Friday aud addressed
an immense meeting of bis constituents,
and the exertiou thus occasioned greatly
aggravated the disease. He Is now re-
ported to be much worse than was ST iated
IN the earlier dispatches, aud his friends
are seriously alarmed.

THE MURDERED CHILDREN.
Excitement COntinued-TheOrfe of
Detectfyes-the Bodies Victims.
IpSI

WASHINGTON, August 8, 1881.
The excitement created by the brutal
murder of the Fisher children, Saturday
evening, grows mere intense,as the mur-
derer or murderess 10 still positively un-
known and thus far nothing but circum-
stsntial evidence has been obtained.
The detectives were busy to-day, and
have, In their opinion, found evidence
that the children were first struck with
the washboard CHRISTINA Taylor borrow
ed from the Fis eIs. The board was
found to day in corner In the kitchen,
and uopn examination traces oil its have
ingbeen used, d,weie clearlydiscernible,a as a
bunch OF hair identical with that OF the
elder child was found clotted to one
side of the board.
The theory is that after Christiana
obtained possession OF the board she
started for her house, when the chill
dren provoked her by calling her
names. Turning, she struck the elder
child with the board, and, finding she
had inflicted terrible injury, killed
the girl and then turned on the other
and killed him. The detectives claim
that at the meeting Of the Coroner's
jury Wednesday they will present
almost positive evidence of the guilt of
Christiana Taylor. The children were
buried to-day.

OTTAWA, Ont. August 8, 1851


In connection with the reported dis
ease among cattle in Nova Scotia, it
has been learned from official sources
that for the past twenty years the dis.
ease reported prevalent has been pure
ly local in its effects. 1t is infectious
without being contagious. The diff
Guilty has been in the supe tiical bur-
ials, and carcases having been dragged
instead of being carried have caused q
spread of the disease. The best pre-
ventative is absolute cremation. The
malady lasts about twenty four hours,
the symptoms being lameness in the
hind quarters, and aiterward general
swelling. According to the cases in
vestigated there are no symptoms of
pleuro-pneumonia. The diagnosis of
the disease has established beyond
question that it is merely case Of
blood-poisoning.

The Largest stone Ever Laid
From the Port Jeryis IN. " Gazette.

- h-'' = y
The flag stone, twenty-five feet two
inches long fifteen feet wide and eight
inches thick, that was quarried at
Hickok's quarry, Barryville, Sullivan
county, for VIM. H. Vanderbilt, has
arrived in New York and has been
safely laid in front of Mr.. Vanderbilps
new mansion on Fifth avenue. The
stone was transported to the city in a
canal boat that had been specially pro-
vided for its reception, and on it's arri-
val there was taken out on a floating
derrick, which was towed to dock as
near as possible to the stones destina.
tion. Then the stone was loaded on
iron trucks prepared expressly for it
and drawn by six teams OF horses to its
present resting place. To prevent any
possibility of cracking by the settling
of the sand on which flag stones are
generally laid, three walls of solid ma
sonry were constructed, on which tn,
stone rests. The stone is said to b'
the largest one ever laid, and it cos
from $1,000 to SO, 900 to quarry, trans
