HOMESTEAD, PA, October 12.-The
residence of John Fox, non-union
man, was set on fire about two o'clock
this morning aud the family was aronsed
Just in time to save their lives.
Fox went to work In the mill ana
.hree weeks ago rented from Mrs.
Blakely a residence in Gearingtown.
When he moved his family children
hooted the family, beat tin cans and
threw stones until the family became
thoroughly frightened. Two coal and
iron policemen were hastily sent up
and dispersed the crowd. They re-
mained on guard for two weeks, ana as
no further hostile manifestations came
from neighbors they were withdsaWn.
Last night, Mr.. Fox says, he noticed
several men around the house, and his
family felt some disquiet, but as the
men did not offer any insults they did
not think it necessary to send for pro-
lection, When they retired the men
were yet standing outside the yard.
Shortly after 3 o'clock Fox was awak-
ened by a sense of oppression, as If he
could not breathe. He jumped up, and
on lighting a match saw that the entire
room was filled with smoke. Hastily he
aroused his wife and children. Several
of the latter, he said, were stupetied
from the smoke. They ran out Of the
house
IN THEIR NIGHT CLOTHES,
and then Fox discovered that the fire
came from the cellar. A barrel filled
with waste material was burning bright
ly and the flames were tapping the
kitchen floor. The children rolled a
water barrel to the cellar window and
emptied it on the burning waste. The
fire was extinguished.
Mr.. Fox claims that the barrel stood
in the cellar by window which was
fastened from the inside, and that some
one broke the glass and threw burn
ing torch into the barrel, setting it on
fire. Deputy Sheriffs Young and
Ritchie have gone to Gearington to in
vestigate. Mr.. Fox was badly fright
ened this morning, and declared that he
would live no longer at his present
house, as the neighbors want 10 kill him
and his family.
Col. Hulings said this morning that
unless something unforeseen occurs all
the troops will be away from Home
stead by Saturday at the latest Further
than that he could not say, but another
authority stated that the general order
was that the striking Of camp should
be commenced not later than Thursday
morning. The Sixteenth regiment en-
gagged in a sham battle last evening,
which army officers who witnessed it
pronounced very realistic Over two
thousand rounds of blank cartridges
were shot away. Another battle is to
be held this evening. Eight new men,
two colored, came up on the morning
train. There is no change in the gen.

THE OFFICIAL RETURNS
or the Georgia Election Will not be Had
Before October 26-The Democratic
Majority Is About 10000.

ATLANTA, GA, October 12.-It is impossi-
BILE to obtain the official announcement OF
last Wednesdays election until the returns
are canvassed by the Legislature which
meets on the Goth of this month. Returns
from every county are sent here IN sealed
envelopes and can only be opened by the
Legislature.
The Constitution estimates already pub
lished is the closest estimate that can be
made of the official vote. 1t semi-officially
shows from precinct counts on the night OF
the election that the majority will be TO-
600. This estimate shows that the vote OF
the State was 200, 900, Of which Peck, the
third party candidate for Governor, re-
ceived 5000. and Northen, Democrat, 1885,
600. The official announcement will not
change these figures materially.

NEW YORK, Dec l7.-Rev. Dr.. Briggs
resumed his defense before the New
York presbytery. He commenced his
argument with discussion Of the dlsci
pline Of the church. He did not recog-
nize the infallibilty of the pope, and
most certainly he did not recognize the
infallibility of the Presbyterian general
assembly, The prosecution, he claimed,
had perverted his statements in his in
augural address, and had misrepre-
sented his meaning. # they had studied
and understood the true intent Of his
assertions they never would have made
the blunder they have made.
After quoting at length from his in
augural address, and citing passages
from the scriptures in support of his
position, he exclaimed with uplifted
hand: standing in the divine presence,
and weighing we'll every word l say, ]
welcome this contest, and, as you stand

upon your faith, and trust in God to g

Ihree british Alleged hcVenue Cut.
ters'' Are Modern Naval Vessels.
TOLEDO, O., Dec. 2O.-The Blade pub
lished long article descriptive Of the
three English alleged revenue cutters
now lying in Owen sound, on the north
shore of Georgian bay. According to the
place, these vessels are men of-war, any
one of which is capable Of knocking
into splinters all the floating armament
which the United States now has on the
great lakes. They are capable of run
ming through the smallest canal in the
lake system, and their armament is the
most complete Of its kind known to
modern naval warfare.
The fleet which is under the COM
mand Of Lieutenant Commander Nc
Gregor, is manned by British sailors,
and orders are received direct from the
British admiralty Office in London, and
the Canadian officers have nothing
whatever to do with them. The old
man war Michigan, which alone up
holds the flag Of the United States on
the great lakes, is according to The
Blade, Of no use on land or sea, and the
three revenue cuntters, Andrew John,
son, Perry and Fessenden, will be OF
even less utility in time Of war. There
is then, The Blade declares, absolutely
nothing to prevent the English laying il
ashes every lake port il the states. Chi
cago, Cleveland and Detroit would be,
in case Of war, forced to surrender with
il forty-eight hours The cruisers have
been placed il Owen sound, it is alleged,
to prevent the States from feeling toe
