St. Mary's Church People Stay All
 Night i'm Branford Harbor.
 There was considerable alarm in this city last night among those who had friends and relatives on board the barge Juno which took the people of St. Mary's church on their excursion to Pawson Park yesterday. It was expected that the excursionists would return by o'clock, and at that hour there were many people waiting at Belle dock to meet them. The boat did not come, however; neither was she in sight, nor could anything be learned of the cause of the delay. As the hours wore on anxiety increased and many people who had chil- dren or members of their family on the ex- cursion left their homes and went to the dock to swell the throng in waiting. Con fused messages came from Branford by tele- phone which made it appear that the barge was aground and unable to leave. Then the storm came up and made it hazardous to attempt the passage to New Haven, and it was decided to lay up in Branford harbor.

 Former.

LONDON, Aug. 13-Mr. Francis, the gen 1 tleman who yesterday fogged MT. Pearce, of the shipbuilding firm of John Elder & Broth daughter, to-day instituted criminal action against MT. Pearce. Yesterday the latter explained the difficulty to a reporter of the Pall Mall Gazette by saying that the charge of seduction false, and that the whole thing was but case of b1ackmail of a pecu- liarly bad kind. For this statement Mr. Francis brings his action. He says he thought that Pearce had done him 8 wrong sufficiently cruel in hetraying his daughter under the gdise of friendship, without add ing the insult of describing the family as blackmailers. MT. Pearce is rich Conserv- ative and had been selected by the Tories to stand as their candidate for Glasgow in the coming elections. He was recently appoint ed to represent the British shipping interest on the royal comm ission to inquire into the cause of the depression of English trade.
 MT. Pearce is a gentleman of respectable social standing and is a member of the gov ernment civil service, being an inspector of customs.
 MT. Pearce states that he does not intend to notice the suit for libel brought against him by MT. Francis account of MT. Pearces accusation of blackmail. He affects to consider MT. Francis crank. Mr. Pearce was present to-day at the first sitting of the commission on trade depression of which he is a member. He looked haggard and wor- ried.
 Miss Francis in an interview admits illicit relations with MT. Pearce, but exonear5es him from the charge of having seduced her. She says she has not seen him for three months. She has been trying to earn an honest living since the separation and had secured position as a companion to the wife of well known merchant when the encoun- ter between her father and MT.

A Reduction of Production Decided
 Upon.
 LONG BRANCH, Aug. 13.-A meeting of the associated Bessemer steel rail manufacturers was held at the West End Hotel this morn ing. The following companies were repre- sented: Bethlehem Iron company, Pennsyl- vania Steel company, Carnegie Brothers Qimited), the North Chicago Rolling Mill company, Joliet Iron and Steel company, Union Steel company, Cleveland Rolling Mill company, Cambria Iron company, Lack awanna Coal and Iron company, Rensselaer, Iron company, Scranton Steel company and Worcester Steel company.

After 8 long discussion it was unanimously agreed to reduce the production of steel rails so as not to exceed the demand, and to enable manufacturers to make rails at remunerative prices next year. The reduction will be based upon the capacity of each mill, and will take effect January 1, 1886.

PRELLER SAID TO HE ALIVE. A Startling Defense Put Nm By
 WarvUaII.


 ST. LOUIS, Aug. 13.-According to tele- gram from San Francisco, published here to- day, Maxwell, the alleged murderer of c. Arthur Prel1er, now says that in due time he will produce Preller alive and well, and show where he got the body found in the trunk. Maxwell asserts that the body in the trunk was bought by himself and Preller, and left in the hotel for the purpose of procuring in surance money upon Preller's life. To quote his own language: "When the case comes up for trial I shall have proof of where the body found in the trunk was procured, whom it was bought of, at what hour it was brought to the hotel, and all the details of the plot. I can tell you now that the corpse was brought to the hotel in trunk in broad day light, and was carried up to room IA. Everything was arranged to give color to the theory of sudden murder and nasty flight. Nothing was omitted which thought would add to this misconception. My de- sign was to get clear out of the country be- fore the body was discovered, and once in Australia, thought it would be easy to bury my identity in the East Indies until things had been forgotten. I will show you how entirely trusted Preller and how complete ly 1 was his assistant in this scheme when tell you I don't know to-day how large an Insurance he carried on his life. I knew 1t was big sum, and gave my help in the enterprise simply because he was an old friend and associate. Where he is or what arrangements I have for communicating with him, of course it is out of the question for me to tell, but you can rest assured of the accuracy of these facts I have given you and they will all be proven on trial"

Sharp Trot Between the Kings of
 she Turf.

 PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 13.-Seven thou sand persons witnessed the race at Belmont Park this afternoon between the famous trotters Phallas and Harry Wilkes. The weather was warm and the track in splendid condition, but notwithstanding the time re- corded was not fast. There has been so much talk about Phallas and Harry Wilkes and what they expected to do that everyone interested in trotting was anxious to see the race. Phallas is no longer 'king of the turf, /" the laurels having been wrested from him and transferred to Harry Wilkes. The opinion was general that Phallas could have easily won to-day's race, but was not permit ted to do SO. The betting was lively, pools selling at 100 to 40, with Phallas as the fav- orite.
 First eat-Some difficulty was experi- enced in getting the horses away, Harry Wilkes scoring badly. They finally got of in order, Wilkes, who had the pole, slightly in the lead. Both horses flew around the track in fine style, Wilkes closely followed by Phallas. The homestretch was entered with Phallas only half length behind Wilkes. At the distance post the "king" broke and Wilkes came in winner by Q length. Time 2:16

The race down the stretch was sn exciting one, but at the distance post Phallas broke and Wilkes wen easily; time S:2Q
 Third heat-Both horses got off in fine style, Phallas taking the lead, which he maintained and won by eight lengths; time 2:21I.
