"What do you think will be the effect Of

II think the proceedings and debates OF

PHILADELPHIA, October lS.-The New
York correspondent OF the Ledger says It
Is understood in well informed circles here
that President Arthur has already com.
menCed to draft his message to Congress,
and one Of the strong points will he civil
service reform. Mr.. Afthur's trying expc.
rience In the New York Custom House,
his removal from the Collectorship. by
President Hayes, with the advice Of Secre-
tary Sherman, because Of his alleged dis
regard Of the policy which Civil Service
Reform implies, have thoroughly qualified
him for indicting paragraph or two on
that subject which will be well worth reatl-
ing, and which will have special interest
for sundry Republican statesmen. Mr.
Arthur, YOU may depend upon II, has q
strong feeling upon this subject, and in bis
first annual message your correspondent
thinks he may venture to say his friends
will have no occasion to complain that lie
lacks the courage Of his convictions.

LOST AERONAUTs,
King and his Companions not Heard
From Yet.

CHICAGO, October lS.-No further news
has been received from the balloonists, al.
though the newspapers are sending out
correspondents from the towns supposed to
be in tho vicinity where the aeronauts de.
scended, to gather information and look
for the missing men.
The Western Union operators are in.
structed to scan every speck in the sky,
and give informal ion OF any appearance ol
the balloon. The Signal Service at Wash.
ington, one Of whose employees accompa.
MED Prof. King, is beginning to express
some anxiety. a suggestion has been
that detachments OF cavalry be sent
out from Fort Smelling, Minnesota,
and other points where the United States
troops are stationed to scout for the aerial
yoyagers. Mrs. King is said TO have gone
East because annoyed by the visits OF
newspaper men and by the cries OF
news boys about the lost balloon. She has
the utmost confidence in her husband and
believes he Is in the forests OF Wisconsin,
Northern Michigan, Minnesota OF Dakotah.
The chief cause Of anxiety is the fact that
the balloon took only "a hours supplies,
namely: Two roast chickens, six sand.
wiChes, one piece Of pie, two slices OF cake,
four slices Of bread and butter, two sticks
Of celery, one gallon Of water and little
fruit.

AN UNEXPECTED DENouEMEXT.
What a Couple OF Prisoners Got for Try.
Ing 10 Raise an Excitement,


NEw YoRE, October lS.-Just after the
prisoners in the Hudson county Jail, on the
Jersey City Heights, had been locked up
for the night loud detonation rang
through the corridor, and the next instant
blaze and shot came from cell on the
second tier to the ceiling of the Jail cor.
ridor. The cry Of fire was raised, and from
every cell came the shrieks OF frightened
prisoners. Jailer Allen rushed in, first re-
leasing the two prisoners in the cell in
which the fire originated, and extingrished
the flames with few pals Of water.
In the cell were John Donnelly and
John Broderick, who are in Jail on charge
of npe. Down in the little room off the
corridor is kept supply Of paint, with
which the cell bars are coated. It Ia a mat
ter Of common notOriety among the pris-
Oners that this will burn on the application
OF lighted match. Last evening the two
prisoners named succeeded in smuggling a
little tin pail One.half full Of the mixture
into their cell. They made no explanation
of the reason why they did this, but the
iaier is Of the opinion IL was for the pur-
pose OF starting a blaze and creating an ex-
Citement in the jail TINT would make escape
possible. Theirstory is that, having lighted
their pipes, they Carelessly threw the
match into the little tin pan. The jaiIer,
however, believes they pIrposely set fire to
the contents Of the pun. Instead Of blazing
the stuff exploded with u deaiening sound,
and the men were surrounded with flames.
Both were burned terribly on all parts Of
their bodies, and their recovery Is doubtful.

The speech Of General Jubal A. Early in
Richmond, on October II, 1881, has been

The rank Of General Early in the Confed-

shall demand satisfaction from General
Early for what was intended by him as an
insult. After years Of unprovoked malice
and indireCti0h, he presents the issue
squarely and grossly. II admits Of no dis
Ctiasibn, and woUld neither be met nor
avoided by recrimination. / so accept It.
My decision, arrived at advisedly and ma
turely, Is that the rank Of General Early,
which Is his sole claim to recognition, does
not outweigh the other considerations
which forbid such recognition. The pub
lie OF Virginia need no specifications Of the
facts concerning General Early, on which

make II known that am not ignorant or

AN ENGLISH LIBERALS OPINION.

Lord Carlingford, Liberal, who, a.
Carchester Fortescue, was twice Chief Sec.
retary for Ireland, in spcakingat Redstocls
last evening, said there was no ground left
for argument between the Government
and people on one side and the Land
League and It's leaders on the other That
the League leaders had unhappily chosen
to carry the lssue into quite a different
field OF force, lie trusted and believed
there would be no armed insurrection In
Ireland, and that no excited body Of men
would compel the armed force to shed
blood. But still the methods Of the League
were such as could only be met by force
in some shape.
The Fifty.second regiment embarked for
Ireland to-day. The women and other
non.efiectiyes remain in England, as the
regiment is ordered into active service,
