for Egypt. 8sE $50 l.ss 80 u 8s

ALEXANDRIA, Sept. 4.-The Khedive has
issued a manifesto declaring that England
has great interest in Egypt, both In regard
to finance and traffic through the canal that
for the protection of those interests she was
compelled to interfere, but that she has no
intention of annexing the country. The
Khedive announces that he has authorized
General Wolseley to represent him In Festor-
ing order and furnishing the rebels. All
loyal Egyptians are called upon TO render
General Wolseley every assistance. Amy
one refusing to do SO will be treated as q
rebel ......ss--... II.
The Khedive has offered Sir Edward Malet,
the British Consul General here, the Grand
Cross of the Order of Osmanli, the highest
decoration he can bestow. The Khediye
will leave here for Cairo at 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning. He invited Admiral Sey-
mour to accompany him, but the latter was
unable to accept his invitation.
A solemn service of thanksgiving for the
British paciflcation of the country was held
In the Roman Catholic church here to-day.
The congregation was very large and in
cluded the foreign Consuls, the British mill
tary authorities and a deputation from q
number of regiments. Requiem will be
sung to morrow for the victims of the mas
sacres and for those killed in battle.
PORT SAID, Sept 24.-The British troops
which had been sent to occupy Ghemileh re-
turned here after dismounting the guns of
the rebels and removing their ammunition.
1t is not intended to keep a garrison at
Ghemileh. The people there have resumed
their ordinary avocations.
BERNE, September 24.-A number of men
enrolled to serve In the gendarmerie in
Egypt started from Geneva yesterday for

Tho knights "Trip to Reading.

The excursion of the Knights of st. Law
renee to Reading, Pa, ON Thursday next,
will be very large and at the same time
very pleasant affair. Arrangements are in
progress for the accommodation of all who
wish to attend, and as Reading is one of the
pleasantest cities in the country, the Knights
and their friends may confidently expect to
have fine time The ordinary attractions
OF the city will be increased by the Berks
County Agricultural Fair, which will be in
progress on that day, and game of base
bali is also contemplated between the De-
flance club of this city and the famous
Reading Actives, The, very low fare OF
$3.50 for the round trip is an additional in
ducement, as it renders it possible for those
who go to have day of rare enjoyment for
an exceedingly small outlay of money.

THE PROSPECTS IN OHIO.
The Tide Turning in Favor of the Demo
Grata.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 24.-The Republican
State Executive Committee claim from
IA 900 to 900 Republican majority, with a
majority of the Congressional delegation.
On the other hand, John Thompson claims
the State by $4,000 Democratic majority,
and majority of the Congressional delega-
tiOn.
The drift and the tide have been largely
in favor of the Democrats, and with
thorough and proper organization the DEM
ocrats ought to carry the State. But the
managers have been repeating the old
blunder of carrying Ohio with wind and
confidence instead of work, and by the old
and foolish Dragging tactics have aggra-
waited the Republicans to renewed exertions.
With full Republican vote the State is
Republican.
The Republican managers concede that
Hamilton county viii go Democratic by
from 5000 to 5000 on the State ticket, and
acknowledge the loss of two congressman.
Their estimates show Republican loss OF
| q, 200 in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo,
Dayton and other cities, but they claim that
| they will make gains In the country. There
will not be 500 Democrats in Ohio vote the
Republican ticket ON the liquor issue.
The gains the Republicans will make in
the rural districts will come from the Pro-
hibition vote. The Republicans will get at
least III, ,0O0 votes that were cast Tor Ludlow
last fall, and the Prohibition vote will
hardly reach 5000 this year. The Democrats
have good healthy Republican majority
of "a, 600 to overcome. just how or where
Mr.. Thompson expects to overcome this,
and find 10000 Democratic majority,
nobody knows, not even himself.
| think the Democrats will gain 5000 votes In
the large cities Of the State; but this hand
some gain will not overcome the Republican
majority, unless we can gain In the country.
Last year the Democrats polled 289,000
votes for Bookwalter. If they can poll the
same number of votes this year we can
| carry the State.
The Democratic Congressional candidates
i viii poll 20 900 more votes than the state
ticket. If there was proper effort made tG
| get out the Democratic vote In the strong
Democratic districts for the State ticket there
1 would be but little doubt of success.

An Unknown Italian Springs From the
Central Park Observatory.
New YORK, Sept. 25.-Very few people
were in the upper part of Central Park at
$50 o'clock Yesterday morning when
Keeper Frawley noticed foreigner who
was well dressed walking up and down on
the Belvidere which overlooks the lower
reservoir. The keeper, who was standing on
the roadway underneath the railing guard
ing the Plaza, watched the man, as he sus-
pected that he meditated suicide. When
the stranger went into the observatory, q
storm-tower, which commanded q full view
OF the neighborhood and is nearly 50 feet
high Keeper Frawley followed him up the
narrow winding stairs, and had scarcely
gone half way to the turret which Is closed
to visitors, when he heard loud crash that
led him to believe that the man had shot
himself. On hurrying up to the head
of the otaircase, where several windows
look out into the Park, he found
that the foreigner had disappeared,
and on glancing out of the window he saw
him lying on the roadway 60 feet beneath.
He hastened to his assistance, and found q
vlsiter at his side, who said that when the
man struck the ground he landed upright
on his feet. An ambulance was was sent
for by Captain Beatty of the Park Police,
and the man was taken to the Presbyterian
Hospital.
Dr.. McCarroll at the hospital discovered
that the patient had fractured both legs and
elbows, besides sustaining internal injuries.
He was unconscious for time and muttered
In Italian. All that could be learned from
him was that he lived at No. 262 Third
avenue. DIR. McCarroll sent for an inter-
prefer, but before one could be procured the
man died.

IN PHILADELPHIA.

The centre of the storm appears to have
been In Philadelphia, where the rainfall
from II O'Clock Wednesday night to the
same hour ON Saturday was 1000 inches.
The damage done was almost incalculable
all over the city, and the real loss win never
be known. Every locality suffered but the
northern portion suffered most.
The water rushed down the two little val
leys between Frankford and Holmesbnrg
with terrific fury on Saturday afternoon,
carving with It fences, outhouses, chicken
eoops, pig pens and their contents. large
number OF milk and butter dairies were
washed away. A number of chicken coops
were picked up below the Frankford Rail
road bridge yesterday containing drowned
chickens. Some of the cattle were also
| washed down stream during Saturday
afternoon, but they were saved after deter
mined battle with the raging elements.
Deep gulehes, in some places half mile
long and from 10 to 15 feet wide, were
| plowed by the resistless waters In the raYines
| north and south of Holmesberg. The large
| bridge on the main road east of the rail
road, across Wissipoming creek, was COM
pletely washed away, and the wreck at that
point is complete.
On the Pennsylvania railroad between
Frankford and Holmeshurg there were
several ugly washouts, and not until last
night at o O'Clock was it possible to.repair
them SO as to permit the passage of local
trains as far as Holmesburg. At that hour
the track was all clear to Holmesburg, ana
the fast train was run out from Philadelphia
at $50 p. m.
Beyond Holmesburg and as far as Bristol
there are a succession OF breaks, tne nfse
one being the washout of the culVert hall a
mile aboye the station. Nowhere probably
in the city limits are the evidences OF the
terrific force Of the storm more surprising
| than at this culvert. 1t was built over
little arm of the Pennypack creek ana was
| supposed to be one of the strongest on the
road. For several hundred feet above and
below the place the great volume had cut
a wide channel above the rivulet bed and
nushed its way against the solid
masopy of the eulvert with such force as
tn snlit the arch In twain and carry the
narts a good distance away. The embank-
ment was washed for about forty feet, and

cnlyert, weighing several tons, seems to
have been taken up by the HOOD and moseu

It looks now as If Currey and Hastings
would be allowed to go by the board, and
that the machine leaders would concentrate
their efforts upon the legislative branch.
We have foreseen from the first, that an at
tempt would be made to trade off Mr..
Hastings, and every day confirms us in our
conclusion. The men who now control the
Republican party don't wish to send man
to Washington who is not heartily In sym,
pathy with their own particular clique. IT
Mr.. Hastings fulfills the condition, he is un-
worthy of the votes of honest men. If he iH
faithful to his past record, the ring will
