WOMEN IN CONVENTION.
Eleventh Annual Congress of the Associa-
tion for Wom ans Advancement.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE eleventh annual
congress of the Association for the Advance
ment of Women began at o clock this after
noon, large number of distinguished women
from all parts of the country being in attend
ance. Julia Ward Howe, the aged president,
made the opening address, and referred, with
some feeling, to the first session of the associ-
alton, held in this city in 1872, and the fact
that many of those concerned in that organi-
cation had passed away. She declared a
great deal had been accomplished for and by
the women of the country during the inter
vening period, but declared that the great
reforms were to come after the present leaders
had quilted this sphere of action, as the
world was slow in according to woman her
rights.
Mrs. H. L. T. Walcott, of Boston, read a
a paper on the work of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children. She
sketched the condition and treatment of
children $50 years ago, the various steps
taken toward their protection in the forma-
ton of the first society for prevention of
cruelty toward them in New York, and the
adoption of the plan thus outlined. The
paper was discussed at some
length. Following this Mrs. Caroline
Severance, of California, read paper by
Mrs. Jennie Carr, of the same State, on
women and the land" Mrs. Carr is en-

TAPPING THE WIRES.
How the Chicago Bucket Shops We're Re-
ceiving the Market Reports.

CHICAGO, Oct IA warrant was issued
to-day for the arrest of G. T. Vanwinkle and
William Alkorn, at the instance of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company. on charge
of conspiracy. The trouble dates from last
May, when the Western Union refused to
furnish market quotations to the bucket
shops and removed its tickers. AS conse-
quence the bucket shops have since been
working all sorts of schemes to secure re-
ports, with varying success. For a
time it was supposed they managed
to receive quotations by means of signs
from parties on the Board of Trade. until
the fact became known that they were re-
ceiving quotations not only as fully, but
just as sent over the Western Union wires,
and ar investigation developed the fact, as
alleged, that Van Winkle and Alkorn had
tapped the Western Union wires at the
Union Stockyards, and had run branch
wire into small office of this city, where
the quotations were taken off, and, it is said,
sent to all the different bucket-shops. Van
winkle was held in 81 900 bail until the 23d,
for examination. Alkorn is not yet ar
rested,

THE YARDMEN's STRIKE.
hirty Deputy Sheriffs Sworn In and Dis
tributed in the Different Yards.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 17.-Sheriff Roubiquat, of
st. Clair county, Illinois, has sworn in about
thirty men as deputy sheriffs, and has dis
tributed them in the different railroad yards,
in East ST. Louis. Seven United States
deputy marshals were also on the ground,
but they were specially assigned to the Ohio
& Mississippi yards, that road being under
protection of the United States Court. In
the Cairo Short-line yard, one new man was
assaulted, and all other new men in that
yard were driven out by the strikers,
but after the deputy sheriffs made
their appearance, the strikers left
and the new men resumed
work. All the roads are working small
forces, made up of the employees of other de-
partments, but the trains move slowly, ex-
cept in the O. & NJ yard, where the usual
work is done under protection, and where
there is nearly full force. On this side of
the river the situation is much the same as
in East st. Louis, except that there are no
special officers on duty, the clerks and other
employees doing some work, and perishable
freight being moved reasonably we'll, but
there is little life in the yards. The railroad
managers held meeting this forenoon, but
it is impossible to tell their action. The
strikers assert that the yardmen in Indian
apolis, Cincinnati and Pittsburg will strike
within week, and that their demand will
be the same as that made here, viz, the Chi
cago standard

afternoon, Unexpectedly, and attended re-

Morley, in opening the conference was
greeted with cheering. He announced that
500 Liberal associations of the kingdom were
represented, and expressed a strong opinion
that the government should bring in county
franchise at the next session Of Parliament,
because the whole Liberal party in the Com.

united in believing the question could no
longer be delayed. If the Lords raised OBJ

Mr. Firth's amendment was rejected by q

A Number of Villages Destroyed, and Ono

CoNsTANTINOPLE, Oct. 17-There is re-
ported much damage to property and great
loss of life caused by earthquakes on the
peninsula between Chesmo and Asia Minor,
opposite Chios and Vourla, on the southern
coast of the Gulf of Smyrna. All the viii
lagos of that region are destroyed. 1t is be-
lieved that upward of 1000 persons have
perished. The survivors of the disaster are
suffering fearful privations. A complete
panic prevails.
Most of the houses collapsed at the first
shock, burying their inmates. The people
who escaped became panic stricken and
sought the fields, where many are still
huddIed together in starving con-
dition and suffering from cold.
Help for the stricken people is going for
ward from Smyrna. The Porte has issued
notice stating that 20, 600 persons are home-
less, and pleading for immediate assistance.
A government commission will start as soon
as possible to aid the local officials. The re-

about the Jail last night To have reached
him where he was confined, the mob would
have had to break through seven iron doors.
Three other prisoners were also confined in

they were placed in another part of the
building. Nelling was given his breakfast
at o'clock, and he ate heartily.
The Journal representative was permitted
to enter the Jail shortly after 10 O'Clock this
morning. Melting was found walking rest
lessly back and forth in his cell, smoking a
pipe When asked how he had slept during
the night he answered: II didn't sleep a
wink"
could you hear the mob outside?"
"Yes," he answered
Gould you understand anything that they
were saying?'
Eyes. 1 could hear very distinctly, and 1
could distinguish from the voices that the
ones who were making the noise were over
grown boys. They had not been here long
until heard some one call out, Come on,
let's go home and then pretty soon every
thing seemed to be quiet again."
did you have any fears"
well, you may just think how you
would feel yourself under such circum-
stances"
During the conversation Nelling did not
cease walking back and forth in his cell, and
his manner indicated extreme restleSsness
although he talked with slow deliberation,
and betrayed no excitement in his language.
During the conversation he was questioned
about the murder, and he repeated the story
that he was seized with mania, while work
ing in the field, to kill the girl.
1T first seemed to me that / could not
control myself" he said; and when asked if
he had any remembrance of the circum-
stances of the killing, he replied: 1T all
seems to me just like dream"
why did you make the statement that
Ladd had committed the murderr'
II don't know"
As the interview was brought to a close
the question was asked: DO you think that
your mind was deranged when you commit
ted the murder?'
Gentlemen, all have got to say is that 1
would never have killed Ada if l had been
in my right mind"
AS he pronounced the words his voice
quavered slightly, and tear welled up into
his eyes. 1t was the first time since his ar
rest that he has manifested the least emo
ton.
