appearance. The exercises consisted

Outrageous Conduct.

WILMINGTON, N. c., October pa
Late last night, while General Alfred NJ.
Scales, Democratic candidate for Cover
nor, was addressing a large meeting, in
Guiding many ladies, in front of the City
Hall, a procession of negroes who had
been attending Republican meeting in
another part of the city. passed within Il
few feet of the Democratic meeting and
acted in such a disorderly manner as to
compel the meeting to suspend proceed
ings. Stones were thrown at the speak
er's stand, one of them narrowly missing
General Sickles, and one striking in the
breast of Colonel John N. Staples, Dem
ocratic candidate for electoral large. The
affair has created intense Indignation, and
there is much excitement on the streets
to-day. The meeting appointed a com
mittee to wait upon the prominent white
Republican leaders and inform them that
they would be held responsible for any
repetition of the outrage.

Elegant Store Burned.

MILWAUKEE, October %. IL At 10
o'clock this evening a fire was discovered
in the cloak department of Chapman's
mammoth dry goods establishment, re-
sulting in its complete destruction, to-
gether with the contents. A prompt re-
Spouse was made by the Fire Department,
but it was o evident that the structure
was doomed. A general alarm was
sounded, bringing out the entire Fire De-
partment of the city, but even this
seemed to have no effect on the flames.
which swept through the magnificent es-
Enlistment as though it was a finder box.
Within two hours from the time of the
discovery Of the fire, the building and
contents were in a mass of ruins.
The building was a four story brick
2I0 by $50 feet ground space, corner of
Wisconsin and Milwaukee streets. The
loss on the buildings is $50. 600; on
Chapman's stock $95O,OOO. Stark Bros,
occupying a portion of the building, lose
$lO0, 900 on stock. Everything is fully
covered by insurance. At l1:50 the
Milwaukee street wall fell, but a warning
had been given so that the firemen and
citizens were out of danger and no one
was injured. After the falling of the
walls the flames were soon under control
and were prevented from spreading to the
adjoining blocks, which previously seemed
inevitable.

New York Cor. Inter Ocean1
In one of the largest and most fashionable
Of our downtown l-uncheon-rooms, where
Wall street men and other hurried eaters
grab at the edibles most t~emptingly in reach,
the consumption of roast beef was ~insignih-
cant and this was particularly displeasing
To the proprietor, because he had ain advan-
tageous contract with a Chicago beef freez-
ing company. Just as he was telling a friend
about it the wreck Of u portly, middle-aged
Englisman fioated in to beg for something to
eat.
Sect outin commanded the boss.
"Let him wait until l whisper something to
you,7 remarked the friend. England is the
country OF roast beef. This fellow is as typ
ical an Englishman as ever lived. You can
hire him for a few dollars a week and found;
dress him we'll, shave his face, comb his hair,
and he win look like a well-fed Briton Of a
prosperous sort. Then bring your biggest
roasts OF beef right out in sight, pose him as
a carver behind them, and 1 guarantee you'll
sell 500 pounds a day.
The experiment wa tried. The English
aspect of the man who welded the knife and
fork had the expected effect. Fellows who
had never thought OF ordering so substantial
q Wand as roast beef for luncheon now
crowded to the counter behind which the
Englishman sliced it of spectacularly. and
the venture is still one of the most profitable
in the history OF the restaurant business in
New York.

rsUncle Bill'sn New York letter.
An idea suggested by current amusements
is that bad actors may succeed in making us
laugh by means of mechanism, 80 that good
comedians shall no longer be essential to a
profitable performance. A new f~arcical
piece is brought out at one Of our theatres
IL is of the kin that give TO the principal
motor opportunities to be funny, but further
than that do not help him much in the task.
The man in this instance is direct from the
song and dance Of the variety shows, and
without the slightest ability as q dramatic
comedian. His role is that of a book agent,
audacious and loquacious, but he is absolutely
solemn. Nevertheless, the audience laughs
uproariously at him about once in ten min
utes. Whenever he sits down there is a sound
like the slap Of two boards together. This is
explained, on its first occurrence, to be
caused by a kick-proof shingle inserted, for
reasons obvious to anybody who knows the
n~npopularity of the book peddler, in the seat
of his trousers. What is the use OF mimetic
talent when 30 simple a device will serve the
ame purpose.

Beaten by Strategy.

PARIS, October 23.-Fuller advices
from China gives the following particulars
of the French defeat at Tamai, October
Is: Lin Ming Schuan, the Chinese Cen
eral, sent some of his soldiers disguised as
coolies to offer to assist the French in
their work building forts. Meanwhile the
rest Of the Chinese soldiers formed an am
bush near at hand. Presently a signal,
previously agreed upon, was given, where
upon the supposed coolies and the soldiers
in ambush made a sudden attack upon
the French and hemmed them in on both
sides. The French were overwhelmed and
rushed into the sea in the widest confu-
sion. Admiral Lespes admits that loo
of his men were killed, he offered a re-
ward of S. for each corpse restored. The
loss Of the French flag is greatly deplored.
Admiral Lespes endeavored to recover it
from the Chinese by offering them two
new flags in exchange, but the Chinese
refused to entertain the bargain.
1t is stated in Paris that one of the
powers is likely to take steps looking to
mediation between China and France with
n view to the amicable settlement of the
present difficulties. This power is be-
lieved to be Germany.
General Campenon, Minister of War,
asked authority OF the committee of the
Chamber of Deputies on Tonquin affairs
to form a number of new battalions under

Banking House Goes Under.

WASHINGTON, D. C., October %
The private banking house Of II. D..
Cooke & Co., OF this city, displayed the
following notice at the usual opening
hour this morning: Owing to our in
ability tor meet pressing demands we
deem it better for the interests of all con-
cerned to suspend temporarily" The
firm consists of II. D. Cooke, of Wash
ington City, and A. G. Campbell, of
Kansas and Utah. The latter is not in
the city and Mr.. Cooke has remained at
his residence this morning. From
Major John w. Carson, tie confidential
clerk of the house, it is learned that the
total indebtedness of the firm is $40, 600,
of which $4,000 is fully secured. The
liabilities are nearly all due the Washing
ton creditors, there being only a few
thousand dollars due to creditors in
Baltimore, New York and Chicago. The
Indebtedness to all Washington bankers
is ~abundantly secured and Mr.. Carson
says there is every reason to believe the
firm will be able with aid and some in
diligence in time to pay all liabilities.
Later in the day Cooke was seen by a
representative of the Associated Press.
He said he preferred not to discuss the
matters of the suspension until he could
see his partner, Mr.. Campbell, who is abb
sent in the West and who he has been I'M
successfully endeavoring to reach by tele-
graph. He however assigned as the
cause of the suspension the general
shrinkage in values, the prevalent distrust
throughout the country and the conse-
quent inability of the firm to collect the
debts due and procure the carrying out of
contracts in their favor. My partner
Mr.. Campbell, said Mr.. Cooke, lis I'M
informed as to my action. 1 have as
sumed the entire responsibility taken.
Our actual liabilities of every sort what
ever after deducting offsets on our books
is about $40, 600. | have no doubt that
the assets of the firm including every
questionable debt due us are more than
ample to pay off every liability.
1t was learned at the bank that the sus-
pension results from unfortunate invest
ments dating back Il number of years.
The firms unsecured liabilities amounted
to about $4O0,O 600 last January. They
have steadily been paid off since hat time
until they are now reduced to $40, 600.
The firm had at last reached a point. how
ever, when the remaining assets prove to
be unavailable for immediate use in the
market and can be realized upon only by
good management and waiting for suita-
Bile opportunities.
