NEw YoRK, Nov. 1.-Among tho i'm
migrants landed at tho barge Office to-
day fRom tho Hamburg American
steamer Fuerst Bismarck, which reached
this port yesterday, q German fam
lily named Muller. There was tho
mother, her son John, twenty-iour years
old, and daughter Marguerite, aged
twenty-five, besides son-in.law and
his two children. The daughter was
seen TO bc in an interesting condition
and evidently quite near tho culmina-
ton of her trouble. When questioned
by tho bureau officials she indicated
that her brother John was the rcspons-
iblc person. At this time tho attaches
OF the barge Office had no knowledge of
the relationship existing between the
pair, and they were held, the remainder
OF tho family being permitted to 60
ashore.
Marguerite was told that unless sho
and her betraycr were married, they
would both be sent back to their
German home. She responded ut once
that she was quite willing TO take him
fcr u husband and he in turn expressed
equal Willingness to make her his wife.
So IN Official escorted them to Pastor
kyles residence and they ywcro made
husband and wiic.
After the ceremony twas found that
the mother had thsir railroad ticket for
Elgin, H., and search was madc for her.
She'was found at the cmigrant mission
house and was told that her daughter
was married and at liberty 10 accom-
pany heron her journey. The mother
expressed much astonishmcnt and de-.
manded to know whom her daughter
had married. On being told, she threw
up her hands and shricl;ed in horror:
Why, that is my son; they arc brother
and sister,"
The scene that followed beggars de-
scription. Upbraidings and recrimina-
tions by mother and daughter followed,
while the son, brother and husband,
John, who had entered tho room,
looked on in stolid indifference. The
girl persisted in her statement that
John was the father OF her unborn
child, while the mother protested
that soldier stationed in Meek
tlinburg, Germany, was the author
OF the trouble. The brother would
make no statement, neither admitting
SMor denying the charge. The mother
succeeded in exciting belief III. herr story
OF tho German soldier, and the con-
clusion was reached that tho girl had
implicated the brother in order to Sc
euro their release from the barge Office
Brother and sister were rcmandcd to
the detention room pending further in
vcstigation.

a BIASED JUDGMENT.
AChilcnn in Paris Who Thinks He Knows
nll ItboutIt. fa

PARIS, Nov. 1.-The animosity ieltby
the Chilean residents here against the
United States is reflected in an inter-
view with.a prominent member OF the
Chilean community in Paris, who at
tributes the enmity OF the American
government to the Chilean refusal to
enter the customs union proposed by
Mr.. Blaine.
Said this Chilean: "Several Chilean
statesmen exchanged viows with Mr..
Blaine, assuring him that us soon MS
thorc was visible any advantage that
the United. States could grant to Chile
in return for the surrender OF her
European trade, the proposed customs
union would dhuvc some chance OF ac-
ccptnnce. Unable to do this, the
Washington government wouldnot for
give the Chilean resistance to their pet
scheme OF 4 zolvercin. Their spite was
shown in the pursuit OF the ltata, which
was treated like slave dhow.
1t required all the authority of the
Paris agents OF the Chilean congress,
numerous kilograms having been sent
by them to the commander OF the
Esmefalda, to prevent tho Esmerelda
from fighting the United States cruiser
Charleston. A further proof OF this
hostility. is found in the action OF the
United States admiral in watching the
insurgents mt Quintero and reporting
their movements back to !Balmaceda.
Ihe'attitude OF tho UnitcdiStates over
the sailor allray is iunjustiiiablc. The
United States government ought to
have awaited the result OF the official
Chilean inquiry, relying upon the
operation OF Chilean justice, which is
equal, it not superior to American
justice. The reports that the Valparaiso
police used bavonets imustibe ground
loss for thor only weapon is a staff.

SIoREIRIsH RIOTS.
A Sunday Collision Between Parn elites
and 3icCartliyises.


Cork, Nov. 1.-Parnellitc and anti
Parnellitc meetings to-day were again
divided by large force OF police.
Nevertheless the Parncllites managed
to throw good many stones over tho
heads OF tho police at Mr.. O'Brien's
meeting.
The NlcCarthyitcs replied with sim
liar missiles, anda serious conflict fol-
lowed. The police were utterly unable
to keep order, many persons being in
jurcd in the scrimmaSc.
Early in the day an attack was mado
on 4 band of music in O'Connell street.
The instruments OF the musicians were
smashed and a number of persons wero
injured.
TheParnellitcs marched in process
sion, an American flag and a portrait OF
Mr.. Parnell being carried at the head OF
thcjrlno. Mr.. Redmond, the Parncll-
lite Parliamentary candidate, in his
speech to-day declared it impossible for
Dillon and 0'Bricn to be independent.
Gladstone was their master in England
and Tim Healy their master in ireland.
During the meeting Mr.. Redmond was
presented with an enormous shillaluh.
Both meetings were largely attended
Much rowdyism was manifested at va
rious times, androughs attacked
women and children.

satisfied himself that this was not a
case whore his instructions justified him
III holding them prisoners, SO they were
restored to liberty and allowed to pro-
coed on their,way without further mo-
lcstation. They and their friends arc
much cxasperatcd ut the action OF tho
police.
Last night, also, q carriage was driv-
ing past the legation, when tho police
made an attempt to stop it, on what
pretext is not known. Tho driver, how
ever, whipped up his horses and drove
away before tho police could capture
him or sec who WINS in the carriage.
These incidents, though almost moth
ing In themselves under ordinary cir
cnmstanccs, are !magniticd by the, con-
ditlon OF public feeling here, and by tho
status OF the negotiations between the
United States and Chile. So it is not
to be wondered at that tho Americans
icol uneasy, and aro apprchcnsivc that
something serious may happen.
MORE HOSTILITY TO THE UNITED STATES,
Tho members OF tho Junta continue
to,cSprcss the strongest feeling against
tho United States. A prominent NOM
ber Of the now government, who holds
q position in tho cabinet, in IN inter
view to-day in regard to tho dispute be-
tween the two governments, spoke in q
most unfricndly manner concerning
America and Americans. He was par
ticularly severe on United States Minis
ter Egan, whom he bluntly accused OF
trying to provoke war between the
United States and Chile, in order to Sc
cure glory for himself. On the other
hand, however, it is asserted by many
persons conversant with tho particulars
OF the difficulty between tho two coun-
tries, that Minister Egan has done
nothing whatever in the matter on his
own responsibility, all his actions being
guided by orders which have been sent
TO him by the state department at
Washington, and Furthermore, these
persons claim that Minister Esan has
made efforts privately to maintain
friendly relations between the two
governments.
The report OF the Intcndente Of Val
paraiso says there were nearly 100 men
engaged in the receutfght. 1t is known
that only fifty OF this number were
Americans. Tho 1ntondcDtc claims
that the police were blamcless in the
affair, but Notwithstanding the as
scrtion, .thereis the best evidence to
prove that!they were the chief assail-
ants OF the American sailors.

AN APPALLING SCENE.


"a bFNcr LtcFhlly burhcu Up bJ ~
Electric Current In tho Street.
PANAMA., Nov. 1.-This city has had
astartling and appalling experience OF
tho electric wires potent power. On
Saturday afternoon somo street arabs ut
play detached q naked telephone wire
and caused it TO hang from tho support
10 tho ground, trailing over tho street
light circuit wires OF tho electric light
company. Tho evening closed dark
and stormy and by somo fatal mis-.
chance tho obstruction was not re.
moved.
At about p. IN. n police lieutenant
discovered tho wiro hanging und com.
mcnced TO haul it in and coil it about
an old gas.light post. Tho act OF draw.
ing the fine wire over the rubber in
sulation OF the electric wire caused it to
cut into and through the latter. Sud.
denly the officer was seen TO spring
violently back into tho mir and fall un-
conscious. Fortunately he had not re.
ceivcd tho full force OF the current and
soon recovered. OF course, n great
crowd was instantly ontho scene, and
with awc-stricken curiosity watched tho
developments.
Il policeman was detailed to keep the
crowd and passengers at safe dis.
tancc, while the lieutenant proceeded
wlth all haste to notify tho electric
light people. Meanwhile a cab came
driving rapidly along. The police.
man shouted vigorously "iialt, halt"
and the crowd took up the warning
cry i'll chorus, rbut all to 10 purpose.
Asif driven by fate, tho vehicle rushed
on, and right over the deadly
wire. Instantly the horse rocled anu
plunged headlong TO the ground, its
flesh sizzling. The cab was notsovcr-
turned, and the driver sprang out and
rushed to the animals aid, evidently
having no idea OF what YVES wrong. Re-
gardlcss OF warning yclls from tho
crowd he graspcd the trailing string"
that had upset his horse. At that in
slant the wire swung across his fore
head, bit right through the skull almost
to the ears and there remained, al
though the unfortunate victimfellfor-
ward over thehorsc. Andnow frightful
scene, never TO be forgotten by tho
spectators, was witnessed. The electric
fluid literallytillcd the mans head and
in q moment brain and eyes had been
completely incinerated. Then the flesh
and akin smoked and sizzled until they
also were reduced almost to ashes. All
this while the sparks played about the
head inan awful shower, tho eyes liter
ally glowing with and radiating the
consuming fire.
1t was several minutes before the
electric current could be turned of,
and when twas the body was found
to be partially burned to ashes, the
head completely SO.
