right and left, his victims being women.
Six women were stabbed and more or less
seriously injured, one or two of them fatally.
The luDatic began his work in front of No,
8, and though it lasted but a mo-
ment, it caused q great terror among the
ladies in danger. He was bespattered with
blood when arrested. He said he felt dizzy
and admitted that he had been drinking.
He wore two hats, one over the other. He
said he stabbed the women because some
man had threatened his life. The prisoner,

New YORK, October 10.-This morning
the autumn meeting of the Congregational
Association, composed Of Brooklyn and

YELLOW FEVER.
PensacoIa's Sad Plight.

PENSACOLA, FLA, October 10.-The de.
velopments OF the last few days have shown
the fallacy Of the hopes entertained of the
early abatement of the epidemic. Within
three days IT'S new cases and 10 deaths have
been reported. The report for to-day shows
50 new cases, bedsides of other fevers, and
3 deaths. The total number OF cases to date
is 1850, and the total deaths lis. Some of
the new cases are of an aggravated charac-
ter, and there is no reason to hope for a
diminution Of the death rate. The distress
of the community is very great, especially
among the improvident negroes thrown out
of employment. The demands
upon the Board of Health
are incessant and increasing.
They have made a formal appeal to the
country at large for aid, and their contribu-
tions have been chiefly from Mobile, Mont
gomerY, Memphis, and few other places
In this and adjacent States. The insuffi-
cheney OF funds is becoming alarming. The
pay Of nurses has been cut down and other
expenses curtailed to the lowest point, caus-
ing much discomfort. IG the meantime the
sick and destitute are increasing. The situa-
tion is serious, and appeals loudly to the
sYmpathies OF the humane and benevolent
Of every section, class and denomination.
Contributions should be made to D. G.
Brent, Chairman of the Executive Commit
tee of the Board of Health. The weather is
warm and unsettled.
WASHINGTON, October 10.-The National
Board OF Health is informed that there have
been 300 cases OF yellow fever and lib
deaths'n Pensacola up to the 10Th inst.
BROWNSVILLE, Texas, October 10.-There
are some new cases Of yellow fever at the
ranches OF San Rafael and Salado, and at
Fort Brown, Lieut.. Whine is very sick, and
the doctors say he cannot recover. The
mails continue to come in daily. The reve-
nue. cutter McLane arrived here to-day,
bringing government freight and four let
ters. At CamargO and Mier the fever is yet
very bad. The weather is very hot.
NEW ORLEANS, October 1Q.-The Pica-
yune's Pensacola special says: "This, the
rorty-fourth day of the epidemic, closes
with a record of so new cases and deaths.
DR.. Hargis also reports cases Of malsrisl
fever in his practice, which he regards as
favorable omen"

THE TARIFF COMMISSION.
An Argument on Hoop Iron and Cotton
Ties.

PITTsBURG, PA, October 1O.-Before the
Tariff Commission to-day VIM. Clark, Of
Plttsburg, an iron manufacturer, presented
the views of the hoop iron manufacturers,
asking a continuance OF the present rate of
duty except as to cotton ties, which he
asked to have taxed as hoop iron,
that is at ~ cents per pound
instead OF at the present rate
Of 35 per cent. ad valorem. Under Ameri-
can competition in 1877 ana 1878 the price
OF cotton ties had been reduced from III to
~ cents per pound, and now they had gone
to the sbnormallY low rate of 3 cents. OF
course the American mills were not now
making them, and they had not made any
for three years.
Ia reply to Mr.. Underwood, Mr.. Clark
said that about eleven pounds of cotton
ties were used to a bale of cotton, and the
cost was therefore thirty-three cents per
bale. The proposed duty would add about
sixteen cents per bale to it. He would not
admit, however, that the cotton planter
would be injured by the proposed increase
Of duty, because he thought it would pro-
duce still lower price for ties.

THE UNITED STATES OF Co
LOMBIA.
Reports of Earthquakes-Assa ssassinatiOn
of the President of Cundinamarca.

A Panama dispatch, dated September %,
says: Indians above Chtriqui, near the
boundary line between Colombia and Costa
Rica report that earthquakes occurred in
those regions at the commencement of the
month. These reports will be accepted as
current wherever they may obtain publica-
tion, but trustworthy persons residing there
write that they have felt nothing of the
kind. One or perhaps two very slight
shocks have been felt here during the past
three days, but they have been so extremely
light that none save those who were sitting
up expecting them were able to report their
occurrence. A change of temperature and
season has followed the earthquakes, and
heavy rain storms, accompanieI by thunder
and much more lightning than is pleasant
or had been seen here for long time, are
now the daily rule.
"This State is quiet, and the others are ap-
psrently so, but Gisgraceful occurrence
has taken place in Cundinamarca, where
the President of the State and his Secretary
have been assassinated. General Aldana was
noted for his extremely independent ideas
as politician and fairness in treating his
political opponents after victory. A brief
telegram only, announcing his death at the
hands OF an assassin, has been received, but
no one doubts that the event is the abOmi-
nable outcome of the plottings to bring
about revolution in this republic. Aldana
had won his way up through simple and In
dependent means. He was President of the
State in which Bogots, the capital of the
republic, is situated, and where his private
opinions, as representative of the State,
were not in consonsnce with those held by
Senor Zaldua, the President of the confed-
GRAFTON. The event is calculated to breed fur
ther Ill feeling between parties, and it is
feared trouble in two or three States will
occur, even If it should not spread through
out the Union.
"R. K. Gray, who has just finished the lay
ing of the Central and South American
CompanY's cable, with his secretary, Mr..
OBrien, leaves Colon by the steamer Ailsa
to day for New York.
"Tne Panama Star and Herald today saws:
"Don Nicolas de Pierols, whose arrival is
anticipated as promising event by his
friends IN Peru and of political moment
along the south coast, did not arrive yester-
day by the steamer Washington, nor has
authentic news been received up to the
present that he has left Europe. General
Adams, late United States Minister to Bo-
livia, has arrived here"
