WEDNESDAY, :: JULY IA, 1885.
THE PRImARY ELECTIONS,

Except one or two knock downs in
the Third Ward, passed off very
quietly, notwithstanding tho fact
that the most intense feeling pre-
vailed. Great interest was mani
tested 10y the best people of
the city, who were intent upon
the election Of delegations OF
thoroughly reliable men, and it
is believed they have succeeded.
AS to the strength OF the can

that is someting about which nothing
definite can be said. Every man be-
fore the public makes a claim Of sue

convention TO decide between them.
For this We tha'l not have long
to wait. By tomorrow night the
strength and weakness Of each Of the

is time and room for a great deal OF
work yet TO be done, and doubtless
there will be great deal Of combina-

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.
One Of the GrRudest Sights Ever
Witnessed at Toronto.

TORONTO, ONT, July l3.-One OF the
Rrandest sights ever witneste in To.
ronto WAS The parade of uniformed
Knights OF Pythias this afternoon.
They mustered on Clarence Square
about 4 O'Clock pm, where an i'm
mense crowd had assemble ed, and the
column, headed by Major General
Carnahau, Adjutant General Newell
and brilliant staff, all mounted, be-
gan its grand march through the
streets. There were divisions from as
far away as Florida and New Orleans,
and it is estimated that between 5000
and 5000 Knights were in line. All
along the route the streets were packed
with spectators, and the windows of
dwellings and stores were crowded.
1t was perfect ovation from
start to finish, At the Queens
Park a halt was made for fifteen
minutes and here 10000 PEI sons
had Copgregated. The we'll executed
movements OF the several divisions
while marching were received with
rousing cheers. Ghe column occupied
half an hour in passing given point.
Several prominent members of the
order gay it was the grandest parade
OF uniformed knights that has yet
taken place. This afternoon Supreme
Prelate DIR. King held an "at home"
many Knights in prominent circles be-
ing present. Tonight public recep-
ton was held in the Mutual street
rink, at which addresses of welcome
were made on behalf of the city
and the order in Ontario.
Responses were made by
Supreme Chancellor Valkenburg and
others. Tonight ten steamers took the
Knights on a moonlight excursion
around the island. After that the
Knights all landed on the island,
where they witnessed grand display
of fireworks from barge anchored in
the bay.
The Supreme Lodge has been in
session all day. A draft of ritual for
Ladies Rank was presented and re-
ferred to a special committee. The
other business transacted was purely
routine. 1t is generally conceded that
Howard Douglass, Supreme Vice
Chancellor, will be the next Supreme
Chancellor. Chicago is favored as the
place for holding the next biennial
session, but Cincinnati has many sup

river navigation would be fscil-
itated il the whole plan OF i'm
provement were fully carried out.
In proportion to the number
and extent of such improvements
would be the saving Of money, not by
cheaper fle'ght charges on the river
alone, but by the reduced railroad
charges. Where railroad monopoly is
broken up by water competition trade
is benefited. That benefit expands
trade and increases population, and in
the end both the railroad and the
Eastern cities would consequently
have an increase, not decrease, Of
business. The New Orleans Times
says upon this subject "The opposi-
ton comes mainly from thofe who do
not want to see the Mississippi i'm
proved because 1t may hut the rail-
roads aud affect the commerce OF New
York; but If the friends of the river,
the Representatives from the Missis-
sippi Valley, only appreciate this fact
only realize how vitality they are in
terested in this matter, they will have
little difficulty in passing the bill in
spite of Eastern opposition" What
will psople of the great valley do?
Will they sit tamely quiet, or will
chambers Of commerce and boards OF
trade give voice to the sentiments OF
the Northwest and Southwest?

AMERICANS IN A MEXICAN JAIL.
Indignities and Shocking Hard

PAso DEL NoRTE, MEXICO, July H.
A newspaper correspondent obtained
permission today from the Mexican
authorities to visit A. X. CulliDg, the
American newspaper man imprisoned
here for publishing an expose in the
Ell Psso Herald of Amids Medina, a
notorious Mexican of this city. Gull

ers. The room has but one aperture
fer ventilation and that is the door.
1t would be difficllt for Mexican hate
to conceive of mole loathsome plscs
for the punishment of a human victim
than the dark and reeking cell in
which Culling and five other human
beings are confined. In the evening
the door to this black hole ia securely
closed, and for twelve hours they
are compelled to endure the intol-
cradle heat and breathe its fetid at
me sphere. But 8 cents day is al
lowed each prisoner for food, and at
such food a deg would curl his nose in
contempt il it was offered him. Is it
any wonder, then, that the prisoners
presented an emaciated appt arSnce
and are rapidly succumbing to disease?
Culliug, however, as 10 food fares bet

with wholesome diet by friends who
have permission from the authorities
TO Welt him.
He is as cheerful as man can be
under the circumstances and bears up
blavely, but animsdverts sharply upon
the impotency of the American Gov
eminent, through its Officials, TO pro.
teCt American citizens i'll Mexico. He
pointed TO several American prisoners
who are confined in the dismal dun
geon with him, and sad they have
! been confined in this losthsome dun
geon for months and have not been
! allowed to communicate with the out
side world. When government like
that of the United States permits its
citizens in a neighboring Republic TO
be treated in this inhuma1 manner
simply to gta,ify Mexican hate, is it
auy wonder that the country tiagrantly
commit ing these outrages upon
American citizens should hold it
in contempt and defy it, or
that its citizens go held and
treated should stare the same
feeling? One American who hes been
in this black hole for several months,
and was a pitisble object to behold,
stated that he had been given no trial ;
in fact, was ignorant of the cause of
his confinement, and begged pite-
ously Of the Americans who were ad-
mitted to exert themselves to save him
from living death.

COL. GILDER'S EXPEDITION
To the North Pole Postponed by His
Arrest

NEW YORK, July 13.-Col. William
H. Glider, who intended to leave New
York this evening and join the whal-
ing schooner Eva at New London,
Ct and proceed on her to the coast Of
Greenland, aud aft3rward undertake
to find the North Pole, did not leave
New York, as be was detained on the
charge of stealing a $1,000 bond of the
Manhattan Elevated Railway Com.
pauy. Sally Adams, the professional
swimmer, was the complainant. She
said that she gave Glider the bond
in February, 1883, asking him at
the same time to find out if it
were good or not, and had since
been unable to get possession OF it
again. Col. Glider was arrested and
taken to the Jefferson Market Police
Court. He pleaded not guilty. He
stated that Miss Adams had asked him
to take care of the bond. He had in
quired OF friend who told him that
It was not good, and he told Miss
Adams so. He then left 1t
with Body, Mcclellan & Co.
on Broadway. Soon alter the
Colonel sailed for China. Before
sailing, he had borrowed money from
Body, Mcclellan & Co. He presumed
that the bond would remain in their
custody, and while away the firm sold
it. He admitted that he never made
restitution for the bond, but claimed
he bad been unable to see the plaintiff
since March, 1885, although be
had made several efforts to
dose. He acknowledged that he owed
the plaintiff the amount OF the bond,
but asserted there was no criminal in
tention on his part to defraud her OF
the bond or its value. The Police
Justice held him in $500 for trial.
He did not secure bail tonight. He
found that it was not an easy matter
for man who is on the point OF staff
ing to the north pole to get bond IN
$500. The Colonel had cable
gram ssnt 10 James Gordon Bennett ,
setting forth the facts and asking what
should be done. An answer is eX'
pected tomorrow. The prisoner
claims he has given Miss Adams sew
eral thousands OF dollars since she
gave him the bond, and rumor has it
that the lady, who is fond OF Glider,
has had him arrested to prevent bis
going away.

NEW YORK MERCHANTS
Considering the Freight Classified
ton of Cotton Goods.

NKw York, July ia meeting of
the Commercial Club was held this
afternoon to take action relative to the
railway freight classification on cotton
goods to the West and South. Nearly
100 firms, said TO have a combined cap
i'al OF Sl30,000,000, were represented.
Resolutions were passed, reciting
that the tariff on cotton goods
is as high as on silks, making it
imp ossible for the New York mer-
chants to compete with those CT the
west and south who are given lower
rate; that appeals TO the trunk lines
have so far proved fruitless; that a
committee be appointed to make a
final appeal and If this effort shall not
avail, that proceedings be at once be-
gun to test the question in the
supreme Coult OF the United
States, Letters from New Eng.
and manufacturers were read prom
ising support TO the movement.

THE TROUBLES OF A BISHOP.
His Fair Practitioners Asserting
Their Rights.

RICHMOND, VA, July 11-Bishop
Keane of this city, has not yet sc en- the
last of the troubles arising out of the
departure made from Catholic Church
customs, in allowing ex. President Ty-
ler's daughter to be married to Pro-
testant in the church. A few days
sgo young Catholic girl who works
in a cigarette factory, applied to the
bishop 10 make similar departure in
her CAFE. He refused. She and her
friends got angry, accused the prelate
CT toadyism, and threatened to bring
the mater before the courts. Within
a month after Miss Tyler's marriage
he had three cises 10 deal with. One
CT these excited very general in
terest on account CT the promi-
hence of the young lady. She belonged
to the oldest fsmily in the Cathedral
parish. Her betrothed was young
man well known ia society and was
member OF the Fret Baptist Church.
Application was made to the bishop
to marry them in the church. He re.
fused, and at once there was hubbub
of excitement, since it was we'll known
that the young lady's friends would
not let the matter drop vita a refusal.
The bishop explained publicly that
the church could not sanction mixed
marriages with a ceremonial at the
altar, and that the only exception to
the rule he had ever made was in the
case OF Miss Tyler. This was allowa-
BILE, he said, because the church had
in all ages granted certain privileges
to rulers ana their families. He then
cited instances TO show that he had
followed the law of the church regard
ing the marriage ceremonial, and that
the case of Miss Tyler was an excep-
tional one. Nobody seemed to be sat
isfied with the explanation. Still the
young lady and her friends yielded
rather than cause public scandal by
going into a legal war with their bishop.

On Monday the School Board unani-
mously elected Charles II. Collier
Superintendent OF the Public Scho Dis,
the place he has 50 long and sltsfac.
torily held. This is high compli-
ment to Mr.. Collier, as the position is
now regarded as one OF the most i'm.
portant in the county. Our eduCa-
tioral facilities have become 80 vat
and are so constantly and rapidly
growing that man OF superior quail
fiCations should be called to take
charge Of our city schools. Mr.. Col
lier's unanimous election for the
fourth time bespeaks the satisfaction
he has given. The schools have
gradually improved under his ad-
ministration. He has unified the
educational work and brought
our fchool System up to a
high degree OF perfection. With the
close Of each session he has grown in
popular favor, until his services are re-
garded as absolutely indispensable.
And this is not surprising, for Prof.
Collier has had the very finest moral
training; is a scholar Of extensive and
varied requirements; has had thorough
experience S. a teacher; is enterpris-
ing, industrious and ambitious as Su-
periptendent, is fine organizer and a

BUSINESS FAILURES.
Failure Of a Wen known New York
Firm,

New YORK, July I3-J. De Rivera
& Co, a well known sugar importing
house, having been established near
fifty years ago, and with branches in
Porto Rico, San Domingo, Cuba and
Mexico, made an essiQnment yester-
day. The rirm failed in 1884, but set
tied all claims in full, paying 10 per
cent. every sixty days. This drain, it
is thought, together with the receipt
of heavy consignments of sugar upon
a dull market, are supposed to be the
leading causes OF the failure. No
definite information as to the liabili-
Ii is obtainsble. The resident man
aging member of the firm has not
been seen since Thursday, and it is
feared that his financial troubles may
have affected bis mind. The other
members had Just returned from San
Domingo. Estimates OF liabilities
vary ali the way between $4,000 and
100000. The capital OF the finn is
100000.

who failed yesterday, will resume

but it should be we'll chosen and we'll
