A FREQ Silver Party.

The st. Louis Post Dispateh says:
After the close of the bimetallIc convention
Governors Waite, Tillman and Lcwelling and
President A. C. Fisk OF the American Bimet-
allie Association held q meeting at the Lin
dell hotel. Colonel w. H. Scaggs and Mr..
j. c. Manning, delegates from Alabama,
were also present.
As result Of the meeting, convention OF
the Southern silver men will be held in At
lanta In December as the climax to q free sill
yer agitation that will he begun at once
throughout the South. Following this will
come another convention in the West and
Just at the interesting period when the prcsi-
Dental candidates are likely TO be discussed ~
grand convention of the West and South will
be held In this city.
Mr.. ScaRgs has been named as president OF
the Southern Bimetallic League, new organ
ization under whose auspices the Atlanta
convention will be held. Governors Waite,
Lewelliug and Tillman will attend the con-
yention, while Colonel A.C. Fisk will appoint
representatives from the Western states to at
tend the session as visitors.
The convention Is expected to Represent
the views Of the South on the silver question,
and according TO the ALABAMA delegates, the
outspokenness Of the Southcrncrs In their AL
vocncy Of free silver coinage will surprise the
Northern Democrats. The undoubted on-
come Of these conventions Will he the foriDn-
tion Of new party TO be known as the free

Low RATES CONTINUED.

Tho Railroads willing to Hsu, People
to Chicago For Ono Cent Per Mile.
The lines in the Western Passenger Associ-
alton have finally seen . grea: light Some
of them saw 1t long ago but Others did not,
and those who SAW 1t reaped no benefit be-
cause Of their clearer vision. The enormous
amount of travel brought on by the one cent
per mile rate (for Chicago Day. has been
without parallel in the history of railroads,
and the lines now zee that the low rates bring
the people, bring them in swarms and droves,
bring them so that 1t will be all that the rail-
roads can do to haul them. This state Of af-
fairs the roads naturally desire to keep up
until the close Of the fair, aud at Thursdays Is
meeting Of the Western Passenger Associa-
tion action was taken which means that the
one cent rate will continue for the remainder
Of the exposition.
The roads agreed that all tho roads could,
BY giving Eve days notice, put in the Chicago
Day rate for the balance Of the fair. They all
gave the notice and the sale Of tickets at ono
cent per mile will be resumed on October 15.
The tickets will be good on all trains but In
coaches only until November 18th. The
holders will not be entitled to sleeping or
dining car privileges. This resolution, how
ever, bids fair to be removed within short
time.
Chicago roads have never before done such
4 business as during the last four days The
Burlington brought into Chicago during tho
time Chicago Day tickets were on sale $1,000
people; Milwaukee & st. Paul, 75,oo0; North
western, 10000; Michigan Central, 5000;
Atchison, A, 600; Lake Shore, $1,000; Erie,
5000; and other roads amounts varying
10000 to 10000 Nothing like 1t has ever
been known before, and the railroads expect
that II will be long before they see 1t again.

BEETLES WITH ssARcH L,o1rs
New forkers Astonished at sight Of ths
Cucujo Of Central America.

Cucujo Of Central America.
A young Mexican, carrying por.
forated tin box which resembled an
old-fashioned lantern, strolled along
West Ffty-ninth street In New York
one evening recently and stopped In
front of the Hotel P0meroy.
From the tin lantern came q beau-
tiful yellowish green light, such as
no candle could possibly give.
A number of gentlemen were sit
ting on the hotel porch and the boy
with the lantern stepped up to them
and said:
Mexican bugs. sirs. Fifteen cents
apiece. two for u quarter.
He then threw back his coat and
disclosed several large beetles secured
to his vest by light threads tied
about their bodies.
Each beetle carried two powerful
searchliRhts on the dorsal surface OF
its thorax, placed SO as to throw the
light directly in front Of Its eyes
When the beetles were left undis-
turbed for a little while tho light
dwindled away into o mere point.
but it glowed again when they were
touched with the finger
Tho tin box contained fully fifty
more specimens. 1t was their COM
bined light which illuminated the
novel lantern.
The young Mexican took several
Of tho beetles from the box and
made them parade up and down tho
walk to display their lights to better
advantage. At the same time their
cousins, the frefiies. were glowing
among the trees over in Central
Park.
The boy called the beetle cucujo.
The sales were rapid, and soon
everyone was asking how long they
would live and what to feed them on.
"Give them ripe frnit," the boy
said, "and they will live till cold
weather comes" He explained fur
ther that his uncle had brought 600
up from the South to sell in New
York and Chicago.
The beetle is the pyrophorus noe
tilucus of Central America and the
Of the elateridR.
1t is called cucujo, fire beetle, and
spring beetle. The last name refers
to its power to throw itself by quick
movement Of its spine to its feet
whom placed on its back.
The light comes from oval tuber-
clos on the dorsal surface Of the
thorax and from the under surface OF
the segments OF the body.
In the southern countries the ma
tives sometimes use them as orna-
ments for the hair. They are also
confined in glass vessels and are
actually used to light rooms A

Twelve people were killed instantly and

front OF the Michigan Central railroad sta.
tion at jackson, Michigan on the 18th.
A special excursion train from the East,
bound for Chicago, was standing ut the sta.

ceding trains rear coach. The car complete
sengers In the two rear coaches were caught

would be more appalling were It not for the
fact that the cars were nearly emptied Of

dent occurred. The passengers were then
taking breakfast at the station eating house.
Steam escaped from the punctured sides u

the dead werc taken to the morguc.
The accident was caused by the failure of
the air brakes to work. The engineer and

AMERICA RULES THE WAVE.
The vigiiant Beats the vnikyrle In Throo
Straight Races,


The American yacht Vlsi.ant will retain
the American cup for another year at least as
she has defeated Lord Dunraven's yacht VAL
kyrie In three straight races. The last Of
them occurred oil the 18th under We ~ favor
able conditions.
The wind at the start was, squally and II
was feared the yachts would not have ali they
wanted. Fortunately, however, this proved
mistake Of the prophet, for after a short tno
1t blew steadily once more. The racers made
short board on the starboard tack, but chang
Ing soon, took long run to port. Apparent
ly their positions did not change. The Val
kyrie kept her lead and II any thing Increased
it.
The Vnlkyrlc turned the stake with It's red
flag at 9 81 and the Visilant followed at 1885,
apparently the lead Mt the first having not
been changed. AS she swept by tho waiting
steamers the Valkyre at 2:3G set her silk
-pinnaker which gllstened like a sheet Of sill
ver In the wind. lhc Vigilant Immediately
ret her spinnaker. She seemed to fairly jump
in the water. From that time 1t was n fore
gone conclusion that the Valkyrie would be
beaten again.
is the white boat drew up behind she
blanketcd her rival and the silk spinnaker fell
In graceful folds for u time. Itwas not long,
however, before the VIgilsnt had made cast
TO the south sufficient to enable her to pass
and the ValkyrIc's sails filled once more. At
3:3J she passed the Vnlkyrie. Five minutes
later the Valkyrie's spinnaker split, but In
less than minute her skillful sailors had an
other In place. Short as the delay was, 1t is
to be feared 1t lost the Valkyrie the race, for
The two boats were very close.
Meantime the Vigilant was driving ahead,
everything pulling and the distance between
herself and her gradually widening. She
was picture us she tore along under main
sal aatf, topsnil spinnakcr and balloon Glib,
every thread drawing and the yacht waving
her tall masts slightly from side to side. A
iasl, from TIE flagship May as the viglant
passed the line between herself and the light
ship was rc-echoed and prolonged by all the
whistles in the fleet. The cheering filed the
air, AMI the wind, strong as 1t was. could
not blow this away. 1t was magnificent
race, The finest seen 10 years. 1t is impossible
10 say with this race which is the better boat
In such n wind that of Friday. Forty sec.
