The Belgic sohool-Law AGITATION.

BRUssELs, Sept % The burgomaster of this
city has issued proclamation pointing out the
duty of obeying the school law recently passed
by Parliament and signed by the King. He
says it can be legally combated at the COM
munal election. He forbids holding meetings in
the streets, and appeals to citizens to maintain
order.
The streets of this city were filed this even
ing with excited throngs of people, but they
were mostly sight-seers. A few groups paraded,
singing and shouting The police easily dis
persed the groups. A decree has been published
announcing that the director of the Rationale
newspaper has been expelled from the country
for printing violent Republican articles.

Newark to- Trenton.

TRENTON, Sept p. There was an immense
outpouring of people at Princeton Junction to-
night from Princeton and the surrounding coun-
try. The Blaine train halted for few minutes
at this point. A special train from Princeton
brought torchlight companies, bands, music and
nearly the whole town. The Princeton College
students turned out en- masse. After Mr. Blaine
had made brief address from the car platform
the train moved off toward Trenton and Phila-
delphia amid deafening applause, music salutes,
fireworks and great enthusiasm.
The train with Blaine reached Clinton-street
station. Trenton, at 1915 Seven thousand peo-
were gath cred around the station, the track and
the steps near by, and great enthusiasm was
manifested A platform had been erected on
the track Clubs numbering 1000 men well
coined the train, and the Naylor battery fred
salutes. Senator Sewell introduced Mr.. Blaine
The cheering was constant Mr. Blaine thanked
Mr. SeweH for his kind introduction, and then
said.
II thank the citizens Of Trenton for their kind
reception am not here to speak.
Mr.. Blaine then introduced j. p Dolliver, who
spoke for two minutes, and then all went back

word about the murder; that the truth was made
known to Bolton and the Castle authorities but
it was suppressed and the witnesses were
threatened with hanging if they did not perjure
themselves. The original murder was not polit-
ical or agrarian but the result of a family feud.
The district had, however, been the scene of sew
eral agrarian' outrages, and the English press
was demanding that an example be made in the
Maamtrasna section. Accordingly, the Castle
made one to order.
Mr. Harrington has not yet printed his report.
Few persons know of his discoveries. The inn
portance of them in Parliament will be de-
termination on the part of the Parnellites to act
with the Tories until the innocent men are re-
leased and Bolton and the other officials impli-
Gated are degraded and punished. On the ex-
pected Egyptian division when the Tories will
be mustered to the fullest, and the Liberals will
be weakened, this decision may overthrow the
Ministry, especially if mishap should occur in
the Soudan. Meanwhile, members mean to
make this an Irish session..

burning Of an Extensive Bleachery, Involv-
ing Loss of 100000.
Boston, Sept. 22.-At 1890 this afternoon
fire was discovered on the roof Of the drying
house Of the Middlesex bleachery, on Solnerville
avenue, Somerville. The fire is supposed to have
started from sparks from locomotive on the
Fitchburg railroad. The flames spread with
alarming rapidity, and all the outbuildings were
soon on fire. Help was sent for and quickly ar
rived The 6remen had hard time to prevent
the spread of the flames to outside property,
which they succeeded in doing The buildings
destroyed are the bleaching house, the finish
ing room, the shed of the print
shop, the mapping room, the engine house,
and large lumber shed. At 1:45 the large clock
tower in the yard fell throwing burning embers
In all directions. The firm owning the bleachery
is known as Gilmore, Hague & Knights, and
was doing q heavy business running on full
time, and carrying very heavy stock. The loss
on buildings and machinery is $3.50, 900; on stock
$4,000 or more The business was founded IN
1900, making it the Oldest bleachery in the
country The insurance on buildings and ma
chinery aggregates 5000, and on stock $685.

CORNERING THE ooRN MARKET.
Spectators Control the Grain and Force
the Price to Eighty Cents Bushel.

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-Eighty-cent corn and
seventy-fve-cent wheat was the anomaly pre-
sented on Change to-day. Whether the relative
value of these cereals ever before presented such
strange contrast is not precisely known, but the
present condition Of affairs is acknowledged to
be unusual Early in to-day's dealings there
was a strenuous effort made by the short in
terest to cover their September sales, but there
were no adequate offerings until the very pin
nacle Of high prices was touched-80 cents
At these figures there were offers to settle. The
market then dropped off to 7sc, rose again to 79c
and closed at that figure in the latest dealings of
the day. The present high figure has apparent
ly killed all new speculation, very few opera
tors having the courage to create
any larger short interest than
now exists, even at these maximum figures. The
extent of the deal also appears not to be clearly
understood, nor is it known who are the parties
that are now in supreme control of the market;
but whoever they may be- they have thus far
demonstrated their ability to retain complete
control and name any figures they may choose
TOR the new deliveries. The claim is made that
The short interest is still sufficiently large to adj
vance the price to 81 bushel if they desire to
do so.
September Corn opened at 72c, and rose 3c and lie
at time until Soc was reached, when a de-
cline Of 1c occurred, which was the
closing price on the regular board and
also at the afternoon session. October rose

at the best figures Of the day November also
advanced 1c while the year and May showed
little change. The latest quotations were 79c
September, 59Sc October, 48c November, 4Oac

Wheat was strong in early dealings, but grew
heavy and fell off rapidly! toward the close of
the regular session, but became firmer on the
afternoon board. closing &c under Saturday The
latest quotations were 76c October, 73!c Novem-

THE NEWCOMB-BUcHANAN COMPANY.
The Great House Makes an Assignment
Members Of the Firm Missing.

LOUISVILLE, Sept 22.-An assignment was
placed on record to-day from the great whisky
corporation, the Newcomb Buchanan Company,
the largest house Of the kind in the South, and
one Of the largest in the Union. Other assign
ments, also for benefit OF creditors, were filed by
George @. Buchanan and Andrew Buchanan,
members of the firm. The deeds of assignment
are all very general in their terms, merely set
ting out that their liabilities are more than their
assets, and that, finding themselves unable to
meet the just demands upon them, they convey
all their property, real and personal, for benefit
of their general creditors They except such
property as is exempt under the statutes.
George w. Morris is made the assignee of the
company and of George G. and Andrew Buch-
anan.
It will be remembered that the Newcomb-
Buchanan Company failed about two years ago
but finally succeeded in obtaining an extension
from their creditors. Their liabilities were then
about 81, 100000, while their nominal assets
were 81 100000 Since then they have paid off
many of their old debts by contracting new
ones and reducing the bulk of their assets An
Associated Press reporter called at their place
of business, in their almost palatial building on
Second and Main, this morning, and found both
partners absent and the clerks lounging about.
Call Tomorrow was the answer to his in
quiry; they will not be here today
Are they not in town, thengn
'Yes-well don't know; you had better call
to morrow; but they may be in this evening"
w. Z. Ralph, manager of the mercantile
agency OF r. g, Dun & Co., was inclined to treat
the whole affair lightly, regarding it as a culmi-
nation OF their failure of two years ago. 'aThere
is nothing sensational about it." said he;
they obtained an extension upon their debts
then, and, finding themselves still unable to
meet them have turned the job over to the as
nothing to assign. 1t will not have the slightest
effect upon the market, the street or the banks"
Dealers generally, number of whom were
prominent merchants, were seen, and they take
the same view of the matter. ut has been
question for two years, " said one of them,
whether they could pay out. 1t has been de-
cided in the negative that is all 4"
"HurtF said another, why should anyone be
hurts This is an old tale. Since their failure
and extension, their credit has been nominal
only. No one holds their paper except men who
were caught then and have not been able to get
out
Rumors on the street say that George G. and
Andrew Buchanan have fed the city. son of
one OF them says his father has not been seen
since Sunday, and says he does not know where
he has gone Andrew Buchanan is also missing,
and cannot be found.
Nothing is known as to the condition Of the
firms affairs, further than is stated in the as
sgnment The absence of the members of the
firm from the city has aroused suspicious of
something wrong, but nothing is known to con-
firm them
has simply assigned, as they should have done a
wear ago.

the Academy of Music was before the mag:s-
tratc Saturday on warrant sworn out by Rev
j. NJ. Pitcher Baptist minister of this city,
charging him with posting in conspicuous places
in this city posters of female troupe, OF New
York. The complaint alleged that the posters
were too indecent to expose TO view and that
the posting of them was done in violation of the
law. The mayor dismissed the case on the de-
fendant's paying the costs, but gave him notice
that hereafter bills Of such a troupe should not
be posted anywhere within the city limits, and
ordered that those Of the above mentioned
troupe be taken down.

THE HANGING OF JOYCE.
A Matter to Which the Attention of the British
Parliament win BE Invited.

Cable Special
When the imperial Parliament convenes next
month it will not be the franchise bill, nor the
future Of the House Of Lords, nor even the
Egyptian crisis which will excite the deepest
feelings within ST Stephens and evoke the
widest attention outside of it. Instead of these
topics the hapless end of poor wretched old
peasant, on wild mountain side in Connemara,
as ignorant of the English language as any Sou
dan savage, promises to be the most striking sub
ject of discussion and revelation in the session
The hangingof MilessJoyce in Galway, in Decem-
Der, 1882 attracted more than usual attention in
America, not only because of the hideous bung-
ling of the drunken hangman, the late Marwood,
but because Of the persistent and repeated de-
clarations of innocence that Joyce made up to
the last The two other persons hanged at the
same time, in their dying depositions admitted
their guilt and solemnly swore to the innocence q
Of Joyce. The telegraph Offices in Dublin and
Galway were kept open all night in the belief
that Lord Spencer would interfere on the
strength of these statements, but he refused
The crime was the butchery of John Joyce

men arrested were relatives of the victims One
of the arrested persons Anthony Pbilbin- knew
nothing of the murder but, terrified at the dan

names at random One of the guilty men, who
had been arrested and whose name was Thomas
Casey, also turned informer and gave the real
names; but Mr.. Bolton, the prosecutor, refused
to accept him as a witness until he consented to
make his evidence correspond with Philbin's.
Bolton put the two men together in the prison
yard to arrange their story. He deliberately
suppressed much evidence of an unanswerable
sort, shoYing the innocence Of Miles Joyce The

said he did not think it was the people,s

deep interest which every right-minded citizen
had in the welfare of his country. He had not
come to say anything bad about any man. but
he would say frankly that there were more bad

Blaine arrived here on Thursday night and
will remain here a few days infusing into the

word overused. His magnetism is nothing but
that open-air quality left him by line of good
livers who threw away their sustenance so that
they might have one son who was not afraid to
