DYING in A CELL.
a Prisoner Expires Before the Arrival
Of an Ambulance.

About O'Clock yesterday morning
Officer Madden. eff the seventeenth
precinct, found an old man lying upon
the sidewalk on Second avenue. He
took him to the station-house, as he
appeared to be under the influence of
liquor. The man was pretty well dressed
and gave his name as Andres Aldren,
20 years of age. He was put into cell
until later in the day, when he was
taken to Essex Market Court and ar
raigned at the bar before Justice Flam-
mer. He was a big, stout man, with
sandy beard; and as he stood at the bar
he trembled excessively, and was COM
mitted for one day. The ambulance
was sent for to remove him to Bellevue
Hospital In the meantime he was put
into cell and there died before the
ambulance arrived. The body was
held until the coroner can investigate
the case and find out who he is.

The strange Disease Which. Afiicts

CHICAGO, Oct 1.-Several veterina-

about the peculiar disease which is
affecting horses in this city. The dis
ease first makes its appearance with
either running at the eyes or swell
ing around the nose; the legs swell up,
the horse feels dumpish, and a high
fever sets in. The horses quit eating

break the fever, and as soon as the
fever is broken the animals get we'll

Kansas Cyclone.

EMPoRIA, Ks, Oct. 3.-The LONG
drouth was broken here yesterday af-
ternoon, by one of the heaviest rain
storms that was ever seen in this sec
ton. The streets were literally flooded
in half an hour, and the ravines ran
like rivers. After this storm subsidized
another rose in the west, which soon
turned into n destructive cyclone.
Dark greenish clouds made their APP
pearance which attracted attention, but
it was not believed that it was frougbt
with any danger. IL was one of the
most destructive storms that ever visit
ed this section of the state, and in this
city there are now lying four dead bodies
of people killed by the fury of the storm.
The loss of property is very great, and
a large number of people were injured
by the falling timbers.

THE WILLIAMSES.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. Awhile there are
different opinions as to how the notori-
Gus Williams or Maxwell brothers es-
capped, it is admitted by all that they
have again given the authorities the
slip. On one side it is held that they
escaped down. the river in a skiff, which
they stole from a boy at Hamburg a
week ago yesterday. So many flat
boats and skifis are now going down the
river, that it would be very easy thing
for the murderers to take passage with
most any of them. On the other side,
it is as strongly contended that they
have not gone below at all; tina. they
are hiding among the islands up
river, and that they will stop in those
quarters all winter, or at least
until the present excitement has died
out and the search abandoned. A
large number of armed men are still
after the Maxwells, but there is little
hope that the outlaws will be cap
tured. They have shown themselves
such ugly customers, that it would take
men of more than ordinary courage to
face them if the opportunity offered.
The story that the men had gone down
the river seems to be more reasonable
than the other reports. They made
their way across the river in skiff at
Hamburg, and were seen by large
number of people, but nobody had the
hardihood to give pursuit. A steamer
was at the dock at the time, and the
captain offered to take over posse,
but the offer was refused. Nothing has
been heard of the man who called HIM
self Charles Mcdonald, who is believed
to be confederate of the Williamses.
Deputy Sheriff Churchman and Frank
McNabb, the two men wounded at the
time Sheriff tanning was killed, are
out of danger and will soon be able to
be about.

The Highest Lake in the World

The lake That has the highest eIeva-
ton of any in the world is Green lake
in Colorado. Its surface is 10, 252 feet
above the level of the sea. Pine for
ests surround it, and eternal SHOWS
deck the neighboring mountain tops.
One of these, (irey's peak, has an alti-
tude of 1881 feet. The water of
Green lake is as clear as crystal, and
large rock masses and a petrified forest
are distinctly visible at the bottom.
The branches of the trees are of dazzling
whiteness, rs though cut in marble.
Salmon trout swim among them. The
lake Is POO fee deep.

THE WORKINsr MAN.

The noblest men know on earth
Are men whose hands are brown with toll
Who. backed by no ancestral groves,
Hew down the wood and till the soil
And win thereby prouder name
Than follows kings or warriors fame.
The working man, whate'er the task
Who carve the stone or bear the hod-
They bear upon their honest brows
The royal stamp and seal of God;
And worthier are their drops OF sweat
Than diamonds in coronet.
(ied bless the noble working men,
Who rear the cities Of the plain,
Who dig .hc mines, who build the ships,
And drive the commerce of the main.
God bless them, for their toilipg hands
Have wrought the glory of all lands.

A Comparison o. Paxties.


In the remarks of Hon. Chauncey NJ De-
pew, upon taking the chair a. President
OF the New York Republican State Con-
ventiop, occurs the following terse and
striking comparison Of parties. For
twenty-five years." said he. 1.-THE Repub-
lican party. upon the broad basis upon
which it is founded, has been building an
edifice with liberty, with the rights OF
man. with sound financial principles, with
the exercise Of good governmental ideas.
which win live while time endures. and
the achievements Of the organization
will form in all time the brightest cycle in
our country's history, while for the same
twenty-five years the Democratic Party
has been doing its best. with
utter dissoluteness. TO squander and
to spend whatever they had of
the patrimony Of patriotism or Of states
manship accumulated in nearly fifty years
Of unquestioned power. While the Demo-
cratic Party. in the great questions involv-
ing the existence of the Nation. failed to
apprehend that this was nation and pos
sessed within itself the right TO protect It's
life. the Republican Party, approaching
the eternal principle lying at the founda-
ton Of selfgoverment, act ahoat and on
foot the armies and the navies which
maintained and sustained the Republic.
While the Democratin Party failed to APP
prehend the principles upon which this
Government should be properly recon
structed. and saw that those seeds must
be sown which should spring up in eter-
nal and perpetual discord. the Republican
Party, with marvellous magnanimity. gen
crosby, friendship, and brofherly love,
gathered in all the erring and the strayed,
and reunited and recemented the Republic,
While the Democratic Party saw no other
method Of restoring the ravages and the
losses Of war. no other method Of restor-
ing the national credit. of giving impetus
TO individual prosperity. Of giving activity
TO capital and employment to labor. save
by currency which came from paper
mill and financial ideas which were gath
cred from the whirlwind, save by theories
which had been tested and exploded for
centuries. the Republican Party struck the
foundation note with rare courage, persis-
tence and virtue Of the true ideas of trade
and finance. and stuck to them until it
conquered the eternal truth that with
Governments as with individuals. honesty
is the best policy. While the Democratic
Party, in a new birth of rule. processes to-
day that the civil service should be recti-
fed where it is not in power and practices
to its best the old spoils system where it
is in power. the Republican Party has pro-
fessed, and in spite of obloquy and ridi-
cule. in spite Of the difficulties which
came from habitual and educated opinions
among all practical politicians. has carried
into effect for the first time in our history.
practically and absolutely, the principles
of civil service REFORM
Those who think there is no difference
between the republican and democratic
party would do we'll to examine carefully
the above comparison.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Assembling of the Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. The Supreme
Court of the United States convened at noon
today with bare quorum, consisting of
Chief Justice Waite and Associate Justices
Miller, Harlan, Brady and Woods, together
with the newly appointed Justice, Stanley
Matthews, who appeared on the bench today,
for the first time. Justice Field has not yet
returned from Europe. With the exception
of a few unimportant motions and three or
foul admissions to the bar, the court trans
acted no business, and at l2 10 adjourned,
to make the usual call upon the President.
The Secretaries in Washington.
Secretaries Blaine and Lincoln returned to
this city this morning and resumed their du-
ties at their respective departments. Secre-
tary Hunt will arrive at 4 o'clock this after
noon. Secretary Lincoln, after looking
through his mail this morning. drove to the
residence of Senator Jones, and had an in
terview with the President.
Treasury Affairs.
Secretary Window resumed his duties at
the Treasury today. The Secretary will soon
retire from the Cabinet. lie will be a can
didate for the Minnesota Senatorship, his
success being almost assured.
Before retiring it is very probable that
Window will modify his financial policy IN
order to further reduce the annual interest
on outstanding government bonds. Any
action in this direction, it IS maintained by
intimate friends of the Secretary, will be with
out regard to the condition of the money
market. The story which was circulated
Saturday that more than 81 900, 900 of bonds
would be purchased by the government today
| is without foundation.
| The existing programme will not be changed
so as to create any surprises whatever, and
any action which the Secretary NAV take on
the bond question will depend entirely on the
condition of the treasury. An examination
is now progressing to ascertain the exact
amount of available cash on hand, and when
the question is solved, the future action of
Window will be determined. 1t can be
stated, however. that no action of definite
character will occur until late this afternoon.
