His Ashes Scattered ON tho Deep.

The last wishes Of William Myers,
who committed suicide on September
23d, at his home, in Baltimore, were
carried out yesterday, according to a
dispatch from Atlantic City. He had
directed that his body be cremated and
his ashes scattered in the Atlantic
Ocean. The cremation took place at
Loudon Park, September 25th, and the
story Of the disposition of the ashes is
as follows: "a strange burial from the
pier occurred at Atlantic City last night.
Three gentlemen, we'll dressed and ap-
pearing somewhat nervous, approached
Watchman James English, who has
charge of the structure, and requested
that it be opened. One of the gentle
men carried an oblong tin box, and to
the questions of the Waterman, replied
that they were carrying out the wishes
offs friend, who had committed suicide.
He had left written instruction that his
body be cremated and his ashes scatter
ed over the Atlantic Ocean. This was
their mission, and they seemed anxious
to hurry through with the execution of
their trust. They had come through
from Baltimore, arriving on q late
train, and proceeded at once to the
pier. Gaining the outer extremity,
and without ceremony. except the re-
peating Of the passage of the Bible,
From dust thou CONTEST, and to dust
thou shall return, the tin box contain
ing the crenated remains of their
| friend WAS emDtied of ifs contents over

afterwards threw the receptacle in the
ocean. The funeral party left without
making known their names, and refus-
ed to give any information about them
selves. Mr.. Myers went to Baltimore
from Warrenton about eight months
ago. On September "a he committed
suicide by taking dose ofopium pois-
ON. The deceased left a note asking
that his remains be cremated, and the
ashes be scattered in the Atlantic

SUED By GEN. ORDwAY.-A dispatch
from Philadelphia says: Through a
suit against her father, which very
aristocratic little girl from Washington,
named Valerie Padelford, brought in
the court of common pleas to-day, the
fact comes to light that Mr.. Padelford
has not lived with his wife or daugh-
ter for four years. Valerie's father,
Arthur Padeliord, a wealthy south
erner, married Miss Bettina Ordway,
daughter of Gen. Albert Ordway, chief
of the ordnance bureau at Washington,
in 1855. Gen. Ordway has supported
Valerie for nearly five years; and he
thinks that it is about time that she
should derive little benefit from her
fathers $3.50 income, and he has
therefore brought suit through his
grandchild. The wedding of Miss Ord
way and Mr.. Padelford was one of the
most notable events ofthe social season
in which it took place. The couple
went to Paris, where Valerie was born
in 1887, one of her sponsors at the sub
sequent christening being the Prince
Batthyany Strattman. Then Mrs.
Padelford came home to Washington,
and her husband did not come with
her."

other young women Princely ran up
behind her, placed revolver to the

shot mangled her arm and third flew
wild. The first shot killed her. Prince

ITHAs now been demonstrated that
republican postmasters in North Caro-
lima have robbed the mails of private
letters addressed to democrats in that
State and given them to republican
managers there. Conclusive proof OF
these robberies has been afforded Post
master General Wanamaker, but the
robbers, instead of being in the penitcn-
tiary, are still on duty, and are still
drawing salaries from the national
treasury, to supply which North Caro-
lima democrats are taxed.

AS ANTICIPATED, Mr.. Bowden, "for
the good of the cause" has been forced
to resign his nomination for Congress
in the Norfolk district, and to give his
party in that district an opportunity to
nominate some other man upon whom
all its members, white and black, Ma
homo and anti-Mahone, can unite. But
they can't do it. And besides, General
Malone doesn't want any republican to
be run in that district, and his "maiign
influence" will defeat any one who OPP
>~ses his wish.

POLITICAL.

Gen. Adlai Stevenson spoke at Opel:-
ka, Ala, yesterday. There was Il great
demonstration, and democrats say the
State is safe for the national ticket.
The executive committee of the
straight-out wing of the republican par
ty of Alabama, met at Birmingham yes
terday and held conference with Mr..
Chris. Magee, of Pittsburg, Pa. The
meeting was rather stormy at times,
and chairman Stevens rejected all prop
ositions looking to a union Of the fac
tions.
Mr.. Cleveland, who returned to New
York yesterday, has written n letter
declining to attend the dedication of
The Worlds Fair buildings at Chicago,
for the reason that he desires no politi-
cal advantage that might result from
the journey while President Harrison
is detained at Washington by domestic
aflliction.
Mr.. Harrity, chairman of the nation
al democratic committee, says there is
nothing in sight that occasions any
trepidation TO the democratic managers.
They realized that the fight was not
over vet and that New York was the
supreme battle ground But they were
assured by the leaders of the party in
that State, including Senator Hill,
chairman Murphy, ut.-Governor
Sheehan and Mr.. Richard Croker. that
us far as their best efforts can bring it
about the State is safe for Cleveland.
Hon George T.. Bowden, one OF the
republican candidates for Congress in
the Norfolk (Na.) district has with
drawn from the contest. This action
was the result of a decision recently
reached by the national republican
congressional committee, through the
efforts of General Malone. The regu-
lar. responsible republicans of the dis
trict, rcsent;ng this interference, are
furious ut ,ae action Of the committee,
and it is believed that no satisfactory
nomination can be made and that the
election of the democratic nominee,
Hon. D. Gardner Tyler, is therefore as
sured
Tammany Halls Congressional nom-
nations, which were made last night,
and each of which.is equivalent to an
election, are sure to help the national
ticket, it is said, by drawing out large
democratic vote. Bourke Cochran,
Amos ]. Cummings, Timothy j. Camp
bell, John Dewitt Warner, Ashbel p.
Fitch and John r. Fellows were renom-
mated. The new nominee is surprise
Gen. Daniel L. Sicllles. This dis
poses of the reports that Gen. Sickles
had left the democratic party. He will
take the stump for Cleveland and Stev-
enson and will do hard work in their
behalf until election day. Gen. Sickles
was nominated in spite Of Gen. McMa-
hons threat that if he did not get the
nomination he would run Independent.
Gen. Mcmahon repeated this several
times yesterday, but it is not believed
by the Tammany leaders that he is in
earnest. Mr.. Warmers nomination is
especially pleasing to the friends of Mr..
Cleveland

THE democrats of Michigan have re-
ceived the unmeasured denunciation of
the republicans of the whole country,
because their majority in the legisla-
ture of their State chose to change the
manner of electing Presidential electors
there. And yet, when the question was
submitted 10 the highest court in the
land. and of whose nine members only
two are democrats, it was decided in
their favor, as every man at all familiar
with the Constitution knew it should
be. But the Constitution is the last
thing the average republican thinks OF
when partisan object is in view.

The FACT that Mr.. Carnegie last
week subscribed ten thousand dollars
to the republican election fund has APP
parently opened the eyes Of the Home
stead strikers to the other fact that
their strike hasn't crippled him finan-
cially, though their families are half
starved, and has induced their organ to
declare that the strike is a failure, and
to induce them to apply fol %crN on
Mr.. Carnegie's terms. They have had a
long holiday, but short commons. The
high tariff will soon make good all Mr..
Carnegie's losses. but theirs are clean
gone forever.

IN HIS recent speech in New York

IN HIS recent speech in New York
ex-Secrctarv Blaine advised the Irish
70 vote for another tcrm Of the present
administration, for the reason that the
protective tariff of this country dimln-
;sbes the trade with England-their al
Ieced enemy. Mr.. Blaine insults the
intelligence of the Irish citizens OF this
country. They know, if he doesn't,
that before England became free
trade country, it was her protective
tariff that destroyed the immense
and lucrative linen and lace trade OF
Ireland. And besides, Mr.. Blaine should
remember that nearly all the 1rishmen
in this country are Catholics, and that
it was while he was member of the adj
ministration for whose continuance he
advises them to vote, that nearly al!
the Catholic teachers in the Indian
schools were removed on account OF
their religion, though one of them was
youched for even by the inspector ap-
pointed to remove them, whose en-
dorsement, as follows, 'he is a good
officer, although Catholic" is yet on
record. The word although in this en-
dorsement is not calculated to induce
the average Catholic, whether Ameri-
can or Irish, to adopt Mr. Blaine's adj
