Journalistic Convention.

MILWAUKEE, August 21.-The open
ing session of the first convention of
German-Amercan journalists ever held
was conducted in the City Council
chamber to-day, and the object for
which the event was arranged, that of
forming a national organization, was
attained. L. A. Woolenweber, the
veteran German editor of Reading,
Penn, served as temporary chair
man, and the forenoon was given
to the selection of committees on
organiza ton, constitution and finance
IN the afternoon the following officers
were chosen for permanent organiza-
ton: Chairman Dr. Emil Pretorious,
st. Louis; Vice-President Carl Rueme-
lein, Cincinnati; Secretary Emil klaes-
sig, Brooklyn, n. Y. Various matters
of interest to the fraternity were dis
cussed, after which the visitors, 100 in
number, took carriages, which were
furnished by one of the largest brewing
companies in the city, to whose brewery
the editors were drawn and entertained
for the remainder of the afternoon. To-
night grand banquet is in progress,
having been arranged in honor OF the
visitors by the representative German
of Milwaukee. After a
business session tomorrow forenoon
visitors will attend Volksfest at Schultz
Park, and in the evening participate
in bail to be given in their honor.

Burning Up the HurKs.

PORT WASHINGTON, III, August 21.-
A fire, causing loss of over SlOO GOO
broke out on board the steamer Colorado,
lying off Plum Beach, near here, this
evening. The flames spread from tie
Colorado to the following ships. all of
which were burned to the waters edge
and sank: Minnesota, iSusquehunRc, Cor
Gress, South Carolina, Iolcd. LOtta and
Grant, all with the exception of
the last two formerly belonging to
the United States Navy. They had
been condemned and were bought from
government by Stannard q Co., who
were to break them up for the old iron
and planks they could get out of them.
The fire broke out on the forward deck
of the Colorado, where men were at
work burning up the planks to get the
iron spikes. On the right of the Cotor-
ado was the Susquehanna, to which the
flames spread rapidly, and before either
it or the Colorado could be towed oat
the flames spread TO the other boats.
All burned ike tender and the sky was
red for miles around. The heat was so
intense that IL was impossible to get
any where near the burning ships,
while the cracking OF the flames
sounded like sharp crack of mus
kerry. The flames crept along the decks
and bulwarks of the ships and eat
their way up the shrouds into the
rigging. The picture now presented of
eight burning vessels outlined against
the bank of inky clouds. was one long
to be remembered. The fire burned so
tiercely that within three Eours nothing
was left of the once-defenders of the
United States but few charred planks
and floating timbers. The hulls sunk at
once, going down with a hiss and
gurgle, amid a cloNd of steam from
the water as it swept over the burning
wrecks. The Colorado was the first to
sink, and as the water closed over her
the mast from the Minnesota toppled
over on the Congress, and together they
sought the sandy bottom of the Sound.
The Susqitehdnna burst loose from her
moorings, and at one time var
ious fishing crafts, anchored along
the shore, appeared to be in danger.
She fioated about fifty yards from the
shore and after trembling for moment
keeled over and sunk. The South Caro-
lima and IolOd followed her to the bot
tom in short order, but before going
down the flames spread from the IOtUG
Lolita, Grant and FdirpLGy, TO two schoon-
ers lying near the. shore, and they,
too, sunk. Who the owners of
the schooners are could not
be ascertained, as the crews became
SO mixed up in the crowd of spectators
that they could not be found. Mr..
Stannard, in a conversation with re-
porter, said: 1.-THE loss to me is not less
than 100000, as it was only for the
iron in them that bought them. Had
the boats been serviceable the loss
would have footed up to millions. The
loss on the schooners, it is said, will not
be less than $4,000.

ALBANY, N. Y, August 21.-Consider-
able excitement has been caused in
Cohoes by strange sight at the resi-
deuce of Mrs. Thomas Woods, where an
infant child died on Wednesday; when
the undertaken was preparing the body
for burial, one of the pastors present
suddenly declared that the figures of
cross and chalice could be seen on the
white cloth that covered the child face;
others looked and saw the figures.
Word went out, and people focked to
the house, until it became necessary to
call on the police to keep back the
crowd. The cloth was frequently wet
with water, but the figures remained.
rhe spots where the cross and chalice
were outlined were of a glistening and
whittier shade than the remainder OF the
cloth when the cloth was was wet.
About II O. clock yesterday the shadow
disappeared. Many believe it to have
been miracle.

Cholera.

MARsEILLEs, August 21.-St. Loup
quarter is becoming the centre of the
cholera epidemic. The formality OBJ
served in admitting patients to Pharo
Hospital results, it is thought, in many
deaths through delay.
ToULoN, August 1.-Two new cases
of cholera have been reported in this
city to-day.
MADRID, August A.-Throughout
Spain yesterday, there were 5,1O4 new
cases of cholera, and :,644 deaths. Dur
ing the twelve hours ended at mid
night last night. IA new cases and 8
deaths were reported in this city, and
III new cases and GAL deaths in the pro-
vince outside of the city.
MARsE1LLEs, August 21.-There were
25 deaths here from cholera last night.
MABsEILLEs, August 21.-The situation
here is growing worse. Between am.
and 5 pm. to-day, 100 deaths were re-
ported, of which fifty were from cholera.
There are over 100 patients in the Pharo
hospital.

The Crooked WHISKY.

WASHINGTON, August 21.-The recent
order of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue for the release of spirits
shipped from Peoria to Philadelphia
and there seized for re-examination, ap-
piled also to the spirits from the same
city seized in New York and Baltimore,
where similar examinations were made.
General Sewell Chief Revenue agent, who
conducted the investigation in Phila-
delphia, has just returned to Washing
ton. He said, to-day, that government
officers had successfully accomplished
all they set out to do; there were charges
that Peoria distillers were defrauding
in guaging. The matter was investi-
gated and it was found that means had
been resorted to to prevent the
gauging rod from recording the act
ual contents of the barrel while the test
was established, General Sewell SAID he
is not prepared to say that 1t was done
by the distillers with fraudulent intent.
The excess found averaged about
gallon per barrel out of sixty-seVen in
every 100 examined. In view of the
lack of positive evidence OF an intent
defraud on the part of distillers, the
government agreed to compromise,
whereby the spirits seized were to be-
released on the payment OF the excess
found. General Sewell said further,
that it was not likely government would
institute legal proceedings in this case,
but steps would be taken to prevent
similar eyasions of the laws in the fu
ture, and in case of detection and con-
viction the extreme penalty of the law
would be visited upon offenders.

Their Commercial Supremacy.

CRY OF MEXICO, via Galveston, Au-
gust PA large number of students
are in prison at Pachuca, awaiting trial
for seditious utterances. The National
newspaper announces that the Vera
Railway Company will next month re
duce freight rates; the object is to COM
pete with the Central on its through
business. Vera Cruz has reduced taxes
on importations of foreign goods, anu
the merchants of that port claim that
they can now maintain their CONNER
cial supremacy.

Smallpox.

WASHINGTON, august 2l.-Bayard has
received word from the Consul eneral
at Montreal a statement of the number
of deaths from smallpox in that city
since April 1st, as follows: April 6, May
ID, June As, the first two weeks of Au-
gust 10. On May 18th, 100 houses in
Montreal contained smallpox placards.
MONTREAL, August p. : Thirty-fve
fresh cases of smallpox were reported
to-day. Hundreds of people are flock
ing to the public stations TO be yacci-
mated. The Great North Western Tele-
graph Company had all their employees
vaccinated to-day, and have their Office
dlsenfected with thermo-cresol every
morning.
A difficulty is being experienced in
procuring nurses The Sisters of ST.
Margaret (Protestant) and Catholic
sisterhoods have volunteered. City
passenger railway stocks fell IL per
cent. yesterday and per cent. more
to-day. The falling off in traffic is con-
siderable. The companies have
ordered all their employees and their
families to be vaccinated. The neigh
boring municipalities of st. Jean Bap-
tiste aud st. Henrle are badly afflicted.
Drainage in both is shocking.

Hanged.

AUBURN, y. Y, August 21.-Franz
Josef Petmeky, this morning suffered
the extreme penalty of the law for the
murder Of Mrs. Paulina Froutzheim on
June LIST, 1883. The crime was first dis
covered when the husband of the victim
returned home from his days labor
and found the mutilated corpse of his
wife laying in a pool of blood upon the
floor, her brains being beaten out with
the blunt end of Ratchet. The ex-
aminining physician testified that over
twenty blows had n.aa dc2lt with the
weapon. The ma: lrcer Va captured

The prisoner adil.i--.I living killed
the woman, and put in the plea of self
defense. He claimed that she sought an
interview and urged him to elope with
her, but upon learning that he was
already married she flew into a rage
and drew revolver upon him. He de
tended himself with the hatcheG. After

woman, he felt compelled to put her out
OF the way. The prisoner was a hand
Sonie, finely proportioned Prussian of
q years OF age, and came to this coun-
try when he was Is years old.
AUBURN, n. Y, August 21.-The
dea h warrant was read in the cell at
10 o'clock and shortly afterwards the
prisoner stood beneath the gallows. He
appeared unmoved. When asked if he
had anything to say, Father Ulrich re-
pied, saying the prisoner wished to
confess that he was Justly punished for
the crime committed. He asked for
gyeness of all he had scandalized or
caused pain and died willingly in the
hope of salvation.
The,nOose and black cap were then
adjusted, and at 1923 the weight fell,
his neck was dislocated and at 10 40 the
physicians pronounced him dead. Petem

p,osal of his body and the burial took
place in the Catholic cemetery this after

Condition of Afairs in Peru

WASHINGTON, August 21.-United
States Consul, H. NJ. Brent, at Callao,
has made his annual report to the De-
partment of State on the condition of
affairs in Peru. Mr.. Brent says: Il am
unable to chronicle any Improvement or
advance in the financial andcommercial
condition of Peru. The armed
opposition to the government of
Iglesias, still continues in the principal
cities in south and north centres.
Mercantile and agricultural interests
in those sections are in possession of
the rebellious faction; obeying the
orders of General Caceres, their
ports are closed to commerce. The i'm
mense and fruitful interior back of
Lima whence the great and steady de-
mand for supplies reached the capital
in normal times, is now, and has been
almost uninterruptedly. since the de-
parture of the Chllians in 1888, the scenes
of conflict and disorder. No one from
these sections ventures to send his
beeves. wool, ores and other merchan-
disc to the coast for fear of seizure and
confiscation on the way, and the store
houses of Lima are filled with goods,
vainly awaiting the advent of pur-
chasers. Lima merchants have counter
manded their orders sent abroad. The
local demand is comparatively insight
fcant. The exports are decreasing"
Consul Brent then speaks of the de-
crease in the government revenues con-
sequent upon this stagnation of bust
ness, and the numerous burlensome
imposts on imports, still further re-
stricting trade, and as an example of
the increased cost, says that tobacco,
which in the United States costs fifty
cents, is raise in value to $3.50 per
pound.

The International Telegraph Confer
ence.

BERLIN, August 21.-The international
telegraph conference has approved the
proposal embodying modification of
Bismarck's proposal, which was re-
jected the other day. The latter called
for uniform rate of four or five cents
per word for telegraph messages sent to
and from places within Europe. The
proposition now approved IS for a uni
form tariff on kilograms between ter
minal points, which are in Europe,
and on kilograms in transit in Europe
to and from points outside, but at rates
considerable higher than those advo-
Gated by the German Chancellor. Ger
many's efforts, however, to have cable
tariffs to and from countries to and be-
yond Europe, especially TO India, China
and Australia, materially reduced from
the present high rates. are liable to
prove successful. The modified tariff
is 10 confines per word in large States
and 614 confines per word in minor
States
