Edwin Martin, editor of the Times
Union, whose name appears in yesterdays
list Of Jacksonville's yellow fever victims,
mad been connected with the press of that
city for about three years. He was born at
Winchester, Tenn, Oct. 4, 1S4S. AT the
close of the civil war, in which he took an
active part, he came to this state and
located at Perry. He practiced law there,
and also edited and published for eight
years the Houston Home Journal He was
member of the general assembly from
Houston county in 1880. About five years
ago be accepted position on the staff of
the MORNING NEWS, and for two years
rendered excellent service as an editorial
writer and assistant editor. He resigned
to accept the managing editor
ship Of the Times Union. He
remained in that position for nearly two
years and then accented the editorship of
the NetUs- Herald. When that paper and
the Times Union were consolidated the
consolidated paper took the name of the
Times Union, and Mr.. Martin was made its
editor. He left a wife and three children,
who are at Perry, Ga. He was man of
much more than average ability, and was a
courteous and conscientious gentleman. He
had strong convictions, and was an aggres-
sive writer. Had he lived, he would have

CHICAGO's BIG STRIKE.
A Hot-Headed Captain Nearly Pr
cipitates a Conflict.

a Hot-Headed Captain Nearly Pre-
cipitates a Conflict.
CHICAGO, Oct. THE support of the
trades assembly has been pledged to the car
men. Mayor Roche issued a proclamation
to-day, requesting the people of the city not
to congregate in the streets. The street car
strikes render it necessary, the mayor says,
that the collection of crowds should be
avoided if the authorities are to maintain
good order
THE FIRST COMBAT.
The first collision between the police and
strikers occurred about midnight at the
Larrabee'street barns. Capt. Shack and a
company of his men brought sixteen i'm
ported laborers to the barn in. the guise of
Mooney & Boland special policemen. and
were trying to get them under cover with
out attracting attention, when few of the
strikers began to call out "Scab! scabi"
A HOT HEADED CAPTAIN.
This infuriated the captain, and springing
from his buggy he called on the officers to
clear the street. The men were slow about
obeying the order: in fact, they behaved as
if they would rather that somebody else
would clear the street. The captain, who
had advanced to within a few feet of the
position occupied by the strikers, observed
the hesitation, and turning upon the line of
blue coats, he shouted out: "Cowards, dis
perse this mob" The officers evidently
nettled at this rushed at the little knot of
strikers with drawn clubs and scattered it
in every direction.
NEW MEN PUT TO FLIGHT.
At the Sedgwick street barns the strikers
had learned that the alleged Mooney and
Boland specials, who were arriving at the
barns, were in reality imported laborers,
who were hired to take their places. So
when a wagon load of alleged specials ar
rived last night, they notified them that it
would not be wise to attempt to enter the
barns. The specials made the attempt, but
broke and fed when the strikers made a
threatening demonstration at them. In
this instance there was no bloodshed.
Capt. Setback denies tonight that clubs
were drawn or that he used the word
ttcowarde -

CROPS AND CLIMATE.
Jack Frost's Visit to the Fields-Cot
ton Picking Progressing.

Jack FrOst's Visit to the FteldS-COt-
ton Picking Progressing.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-The weather crop
bulletin issued by the signal officer to-day
says: The weather has been favorable for
all growing crops during the week through
out the cotton region, and cotton picking is
progressing rapidly. In Northern Texas
the crop is reported about two weeks late.
Light frosts occurred in the northern por-
tion of the gulf states during the first part
of the week, and some damage resulted to
the tobacco crop in North Carolina, Ten
nessee and kentucky. In some sections Of
the last named state one-fourth of the late
tobacco crop has been injured.
In Tennessee the weather was favorable
for the seeding of wheat, and an increased
acreage is reported.
The first heavy frost occurred in the Mid
die Atlantic states during the week, killing
all tender vegetables in New Jersey; but
most crops had been secured previous to
the frost.
A killing frost occurred in New England,
and slight freeze is reported in the
northern portions of this region, resulting
in some damage to fruits, but the corn crop
Is reported in fair condition.
During the autumn and winter months
the weather crop bulletin will be issued at
the close of each mouth, and the weekly
issue will be discontinued from and after
this date until the next crop year.

PROGRAMME OF CONGRESS.
Senator Allison to Speak on the Tariff
Bill Today.

WASHINGTON, Oct Tn the Senate to-
morrow the tariff bill will be taken up and
Senator Allison will make a speech in sup
port of the Senate substitute The bill will
be temporarily laid aside whenever the CON
ferees on the general deficiency bill reach
an agreement With this exception it is
expected to command the attention OF the
Senate until disposed of. The assertion is
made by some republican senators that the
bill will be passed within three weeks, and
the democrats express hope that such may
prove to be the case
APT TO LOSE A QUORUM.
The opinion, however, is pretty widely
entertained on both sides that before the
expiration of three weeks the Senate will
find itself without voting quorum, and
will assent to a recess if, in the meantime,
the House does not send over resolution
to adjourn. A proposition to take recess
and reconvene after the election would
probably meet with considerable favor.
even as against one for adjournment, since
two or three weeks practically added to the
beginning of the next session could be made
to advance next years's work materially.
THE RESULT.
In spite of promises and resolutions to the
contrary, nothing is expected of congress
under ordinary circumstances until after
the holiday recess but with the period
before the recess practically doubled, and
especially if the annual estimates are made
ready, there is little doubt that the COM
mittee work on several Of the appropriation
bills would be greatly advanced.
IN THE HOUSE.
In the House of Representatives the final
conference report upon the general def
cheney appropriation bill will be presented
for action early in the week. After it5is
disposed of, nothing of interest is likely to
occur, unless some influe2tial member shall
spring upon the house an adjournment reso-
luton. In the absence of quorum, how
ever, the immediate success of such a move
ment will depend upon the possibility of
avoiding single objection.

Missing at Last Accounts 49, 1000
People Attending the Cornerstone
Ceremonies When the Accident
Happened.

Previous to the laying of the stone there
was street parade, participated in by all
the Catholic societies of the city, Knights
of st. John, of Lancaster, and visitors
from Wilmington, Del, Lebanan, Shenan-
doah and other places.
1000 PEOPLE PRESENT.
Probably 1000 people gathered at the site
of the church this afternoon to witness the
ceremonies, about 1000 of whom were
crowded on a temporary floor laid on the
joists and walls OF the edifice, which had
been carried up one story.
Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia arrived
this morning and personally conducted the
ceremonies, assisted by the priests Of three
Catholic churches here.
THE WALLS AND FLOOR COLLAPSE
After the CORNERSTONE had been laid
Father Libichi, the pastor of the congrega-
ton, arose to speak and had scarcely com
menced his remarks when the newly-con-
structed walls gave way and one-fourth of
the floor fell with crash, precipating 20C

ericating the unfortunates, many OF whom
had TO be carried out and placed in neigh
boring houses where their injuries were

THE GRAND OLD MAN.
An Admirers Description of Gladstone
While Speaking.

Justin Mccarthy IN Youths Companion.
Let us take look at the House. IL Is
filed in every part; the members galleries
are all full the space below the BARRYMORE
there are no seats and the members can only
stands packed to its full capacity; the
speakers gallery the little gallery of the
sergeant-at-arms, the ambassador gallery,
the strangers gallery, the distinguished
strangers gallery--are all crammed.
Gladstone is up. He has begun his speech
in tone purposely subdued, easy and quiet,
Soon IL will swell in volume rs the orator
warns TO the subject and IL will ring clear
and resonant through the HOUSE of Com
mons.
Gladstone's voice Is not indeed the voice
that it was some years ago. 1t Is still
powerful voice; IL can be mado without
effort TO fill any public hall, but the exquis-
ite modulations of expression, the delicate
tones and half tones which used to give
such meaning and significance TO every
phrase and every word, and used to form
what one might call the accompanying
music Of the argument and eloquence, all
these are as they have ever been.
We have come to the last night and the
great debate Is nearly over. In few min
utes we shall have the division. GlRdstone's
eloquence still streams like a meteor over
the parliamentary armament. The orator
Is interrupted now and then and he always
turns upon the man or the men who inter-
rupt him and fsends some bombshell of
reply crashing in among his opponents
Why will opponents be so foolish as TO in
terrupt Mr.. Gladstonel An interruption is
20 him like the stroke OF a spur to a gener-
Gus horse; it only inspirits him TO display all
his best resources and pow ers.
The speech comes to splendid close, in
sentences now slow, solemn and appealing;
now rushing on with all the force and vol
ume Of a cataract; and then the orator sits
down amid cheers and cheers, and the house
is moved for some seconds after, as the sea
still heaves and heavss although the storm
Is over

cases originating in the state of Indiana
have been reported to the board of review
for rejection to such an extent that siis-
picion has been excited that the republican
clerks in the pension Office are trying
to bring the administration Of it into
disrepute for political purposes. Democratic
