A woman dressed in a style that would
beat the widest efforts of the untutored
children of the forest in their love of gauay
attire and attempts to initiate the civilized
garb, created somewhat of a sensation at
the Union Depot yesterday morning, when
she stepped from the south-bound passen-
ger train. The body and sleeves of her
dress were composed of various colored silk,
and the skirt of her dress was
made up of different colored
calico. She wore wash-pan hat
which was partially hidden by huge,
black, ostrich feather. She talked to several
parties about the depot and it was plain to
be seen from her conversation that she was
crazy. She inquired for the marble yard of
Middleton Brothers, and stated that she
was an ardent admirer of Sam Bass, the
train robbber, who was killed and buried
near Round Rock, and that she intended
to erect $1,000 monument over
his remains. Her home she said
was in East st. Louis, and having read at
the time of. his exploits as published in the
newspapers, and more recently his life, she
had determined to mark his last resting
place with token of her esteem. She eI-
pressed her intention of leaving on the
evening train for Round Rock but as the
reporters watched the train and failed TO
find her, it is believed she is still in the

BRITAIN'S REALM.
The Plea of the Irish Farm Labor.
ers--FOrster's Response.

LONDON, July S.-Mr. Forster, Chief
Secretary for Ireland, to-day received the
deputstion of Irish farm laborers. Mr..
O'Sullivan Home Ruler, member of Par
lament for Limerick, said that great dis-
tress existed among the laborers
owing to the want Of home
and small quantity of land, and
that the session of Parliament should not
be allowed to pass without settling the
question. Other representatives spoke in
favor of clause In the land bill freeing
lsborers' holdings, of an acre or less, from
tenancy under tenants or landlords, and
converting them into tenants under the bill,
aud that the poor law unions in the towns
have power to alter suburban lands.
These measures were urged not only in
the interest of the laborers, but of the tax
payers, as they would soon flee the laborers
from any dependence upon the poor rates.
Mr.. Forster, replying to one observation,
said that when the government were ready
to confer the franchise upon agricultural
laborers their measures would not be con-
fined to England, but would be extended to
Scotland and Ireland. AS to the object of
the deputation, he said, he knew the condi-
tion of the laborers was very bad,
but the matter was most difficult
to deal with. He rejected the
idea of the State providing cottages and
land as impracticable, but the State, he
said, might help to remove the obstacles to
their getting good employment or good
cottages, and might give facilities by offer
ing inducements to persons interested to
improve their condition. He could not say
what could be done at this session of Par
lament. All must try to do their duty and
insure that the land bill does not leave the
lsborer in worse position than he is now.
If they (the government) could do that,
they would try. If not this year, to do 1t as
soon as possible.

ALBANY, July S.-Two ballots were taken
to-day for United States Senator, resulting
in no choice and no material change from
the record of Yesterdays voting. The con-
vention then adjourned.
The Republican caucus met at 4:3e p. m.
to day. Fifteen Senators and fifty As
semblymen answered to the roll call. A
motion was adopted deciding that the two
candidates to be chosen be taken from the
two principal divisions of the Republican
party. Senator Woodin read a
lengthy letter from Chaneey NJ. De-
pew, withdrawing from the contest. The
caucus then proceeded to nominate candi-
date for the long term. After several bal
lots Warner Miller was unanimously nomi-
mated, receiving 65 votes. Several ballots
were then taken for a candidate for the
short term, resulting In the unanimous
nomination of Eldridge D. Lapham. The
caucus then adjourned.
The administration members feel very
confident of electing the two candidates
nominated this afternoon. They claim to
have promises from several members who
have been voting for Conkling that they
will vote for Miller and Lapham. The
stalwarts held a conference, and it is said
they resolved to stand firmly by Conkling
and Crowley.

Rats.


An examination of the wretched
Philadelphia hovel in which Mrs. Fritz s
little baby was gnawed to death by rats
last Thursday morning. reveals a state
of affairs infinitely disgusting and dis.
creditable. There are holes everywhere
in the floor, walls and ceilings through
which rats, many of them of enormous
size, are constantly appearing and dis.
appearing by the score The creatures
are bold enough to dismay a terrier in
the day time. but at night they hold a
carnival, and are strong and savage
enough to make sleep dangerous even
for grown people. The night after the
death of the baby, Mr.. and Mrs. Fritz
were afraid to sleep in the bed where their
child had been so frightfully mutilated,
but finally yielded to fatigue and retired,
taking their three remaining children
with them. Soon after they were horri-
fed to see, by the light Of a candle
which had been left burning, two enor-
nous rats leap on the bed, and, after
running rapidly over it in search of
another child. disappear in the darkness
on the other side, as they thought. The
neighbors express the opinion that the
miserable shanties ought to be razed,
and speak in no mild terms of the owner
of tie property, who, they say, will
charge rent for the novels until they
dlop 10 pieces or burn down.
