George Ehot's RomoIa.

A timely interest is given, by the
death of the author, to the new edition
of her masterpiece, " Romo!a," just
issued by the American Book Ex-
change, New York. Tt shows her
work at its best and strongest, and at
the same time gives the reader the
opportunity to acquire a lasting
familiarity with the scenes and society
of medieval Italy. 1t is one of the
really great historical novels of the
world. 1t is issued in handy and
beautiful form, extra cloth binding,
simple but rare elegance and taste
in design, and like the other issues Of
the & Literary Revolution y its cost is
almost nominal, viz. 35 cents. 1t is
one OF series intended to form a
library of classic fiction, which will
include one representative and charac
teristic work Of each of the great
authors who have won lasting fame in
the realm of fiction. Life is too short
and too full of work to permit the
reading Of all that is beautiful and
valuable in these creations of the i'm
agination, but even very busy people
can find time to read one book by each
of the score of authors who have won
immortal fame and place in the affec-
tons of the people. Not to be &C
quainted with them is to be ignorant
Of much that is most important and
most interesting in the history of
nations and Of men. Not to possess
them is to be deprived of most fruit
full and profitable sources of enjoyment.
Among those issued or nearly ready
are SCOTS I" Ivanhoe = Bulwer's
- Pompei," Irving's Knickerbock-
err" Cooper's 4" Mohicans,'' e" Tom
Brown at Rugby" Adventures Of
Don Quixote, and "Uarda, romance
OF Ancient Egypt" Full catalogue

q dispatch from London on the 18th
says: 1r has been long feared that
there were many secret societies of
Irishmen in the large towns, and to day
those fears have received open confirm
alton. Sir VIM. Vernon Harcourt,
Secretary Of State for Home Dept,
states that he is in possession of details
which show the recent formation Of
gigantic secret society with a local
Branch in every important town of the
kingdom by Fenians from the United
States. Great alarm is felt at this
new danger to the government. and
orders have been again forwarded to
commanders of all military depart
ments warning them of this new
phase of the agitation and counseling
extra precautions.
PARNELL's PARTY.
The Parnellite party came into
epen collision with the government
last night in heated debate on Justin
McCarthy's amendment to the address
praying the Queen not to use the
army or constabulary to carry out
evictions pending the reform of the
land laws Mr.. Gladstone reappeared
looking much improved He replied
to Mccarthy in a bitter speech, ac-
cusing Irish members of delaying
remedial measures. Parnell answered
the latter in the debate, charging
Gladstone with misrepresenting Irish
members He stated that he believed
Shat the Irish people would justify
She shedding of their blood to secure
their liberty if they saw chance of
success. He denied having encourag-
cd armed instruction because he
knew England was to ltrong. He
states his belief that legislative indie
pendence would follow the downfall of
land lordism, and under the new
relations of hostility between England
and Ireland would disappear. The
Government could not suppress the
Land League, because if the leaders
should be imprisoned, the people
would organize secret societies.
Murder and outrages would be in
crearsed tenfo!d by coercion, if the
act Of habeas corpus were suspended.
The arrest Of the first man would be
the signal for general refusal to pay
rents.

Escape.
PHILADELPHIA, October II 2-Charles
Fl. Landenberger's mill, owned by Jos.
Harvey, at I'LL Randolph street, was
burned tonight. The fire broke out
at 9:45. An officer noticed something
peculiar about the electric lights, and
in another moment the three upper
floors seemed TO become suddenly a
mass Of smoke and flame. The neigh
bors rushed to tho building and saw the
operatives at the windows on the
third and fourth floors.
They called to thegirls not to jump,
as the ladder would be brought, but
several of the girls sprang from the
window.
The shrieks OF the people in the build
ing when the escape was cut OF were
heartrending. Most Of them jumped
TO the sidewalk and few escaped by the
elevator rope. Matte Conlan, Fred
erick Kreh, Geo. Dougherty, Henry
Mormon, Joseph Reynolds and an
unknown girl .were badly burned
about the face and arms. and were
taken to St. Mary's hospital, where
their injuries were pronounced danger
Gus. All suffered from inhaling smoke
and flame. Matilda Schultz, Annie
Miller, Samuel Lapham, George Hut.
ton, Kate Shatfer, Lizzie Franks, An
ME Brady, Michael Larken and an un-
known man were also injured, but notso
severely. They were taken home.
Joseph Glasier is missing. There was
double stairway back and front, but no
fire escapes.
Loss OF property is estimated at $70,-
900; insurance $4,000. At mid
night the ire was under con-
troll. Two girls at st. Mary's
hospital are likely to die before morn
ing. There were thirty.three persons in
the building at the time OF the disaster,
of whom twelve were females.
The excitement in the neighborhood
is intense. 1t is believed some OF the
operatives are burned in the ruins.
