A Forecast of President Prescott's Re-
port to the Meeting at Louisville Next
Week.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 1.-The Inter-
national Typographical Union will meet
at Louisville October 9Th. The delibera.
tons of the congress will be of unpre-
cedented Importance, from the fact that
the effect of the rapid adoption of type
setting machines and other matters of
vital interest to the fraternity will be
considered at length and acted upon.
Touching upon "machines and their
effect" President w. b. Prescott of In
dianapolis, will say in his annual re-
port, of which copy reached here to.
day:
"Coincident with and perhaps in
measure attributable to the depression
through which the world has been
passing, machines were introduced in
large numbers throughout the country.
Based on the most reliable information
obtainable, it is a conservative state

there are about ,450 in operation, accord

ployment True to the history and

ments suitable to the changed conditions.
1--WE should be directing our best
thoughts to deVising ways and means
of meeting the changed conditions re-
sultant from machinery. There is at
present no large demand for recon.
struction; but grumbling is heard, and,
deplore it as we may, the time is not far
distant when heed will have To be paid
to the sentiment desiring measure of
| autonomy for each subdivision of labor
| in the newspaper and bookmaking in
dustries.
ITO my mind the best interests of all
will be subserved by the creation OF
divisions, one branch comprehending
all those employed on newspapers, and
the other composing trades that enter
into the manufacture of books, and are
required in the production of job work,
all to be embraced in one general
organization, whose chief function will
be to disburse benefits and give effect to
necessary regulations for offensive and
defensive purposes"
| Notwithstanding the severity and
widespread influence of the recent
period of depression, President Prescott
will say that the membership of the
organization of the past year has in
creased by over 1000, exclusive of 1000
German-speaking printers VINO affiliated.
Financially the union is i'll excellent

Suit for Damages.
A Social Sensation in Syracuse, n. YEA
Rich Young hlan, While Intoxicated 1t

When Sober He Han Away aud Now the
Bride Has Gone TO Law.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Sept. 28.-Fred-
erick w. Penn, son of George Penn, a
wealthy steel manufacturer of this city,
was married few months ago to
Catharine O'Donnell, handsome
young woman of public note, and it
was alleged that the bridegroom was
intoxicated at the time. At any rate,
the young man disappeared soon after
wards and has not returned to SYRIA,
cuse, and Mrs. Penn went to Pittsburg,
where she is staying with her sister.
Before leaving Mrs. Penn began suit
against the elder Penn for $4,000 for
alienation Of her husbands affections,
and the defendant has just filed his
answer.
To the first count of the complaint,
which sets forth the marriage of the
plaintiff to Frederick w. Penn, the de-
PENDANT denies knowledge or informa-
ton sufficient to form belief. Then
he alleges that at the time of the 'pre.
tended marriage" while his son was
drunk and unconscious of his acts, the
plaintiff, with other parties who were
aiding her, took him in a carriage to a
minister and induced the minister to
perform marriage ceremony; that
when the young man became sober he
Immediately repudiated the marriage of

ant in no way influenced him thereto.
No one appears to know the young
mans whereabouts save his immediate
family and they will not tell. An action
for divorce was begun on behalf Of the
young man and summons was served
upon the wife's attorneys, but no further
steps were taken, the time expiring
without the complaint being served.
Then, after the wife had vainly tried to
have George Penn and others indicted
for conspiracy, the action for alternating
her husbands affections was begun.
The suit will probably be called fol
trial at the coming circuit which opens
next week.

How 1t Affected the Lower Peninsula
Ragged for Three Days and Nights With
Terrific Eject.
CAFE CHARLES. Va, Sept 29.-The storm
has abated in this section to some extent.
The wind blew from the northeast reg
ular hurricane for three days and three
nights increasingly. The water has receded
and the steamers will resume their regular
trips between here and Norfolk.
The first tidings were received here from
Cobb's Island about 6 O'Clock last even
ing, when the Rev. Thomas Dixon of
New York. who is summering on the
island with his family, managed to get
over to the mainland. He said:
I'VE have been living right in the At
lantic ocean for the past three days. The
storm broke on us last Tuesday night late
and for three days and three nights the
wind blew a regular hurricane from the
northeast. On Wednesday and Thursday
the wind seemed to increase and the entire
island was submerged by three feet of
water carrying away fences, out-houses
and threatening destruction to all who
were living on the island"
Mr.. Dixon says by actual measurement
200 feet of Cobb's Island beach was washed
away by the enormous waves that dashed
the shore, and that the inhabitants state it
to be the most violent storm they have
had for 20 years. All the vegetation and
some pigs were destroyed. No lives were
lost. The water went down to its normal
condition yesterday morning.

Cling on bit of iron that projected from

people to the Jackson street bridge last
night.
The battle lasted scarcely three minutes.
and then one of the contestants plunged
headlong in the water with fearful cash
in his abdomen, from the effects of which
he will probably die.
Martin Randall was until few days
ago employed in the construction of the
new bridge. George Atkinson, superinten-
dent in charge OF the iron construction,
dismissed him Cor cause, and Randall left,
vowing vengeance. Last night, while the
night crew were working, Atkinson was
perched Oh beam and was directing his
assistants below. No one needed Randall
as he clambered up the ladder along the
crane and crept stealthily across the tangle
of iron cross-pieces. lie reached Atkinson's
side and catching him by the throat tried
to hnrl him into the river.
Atkinson is powerful man and resisted
with all his strength. The combatants
swayed to and fro and the workmen be-
low watched the battle for life as if spell
bound. Atkinson lost his balance and
plunged downward, but caught at the
beam in time to hold himself. Randall
had Strengthened up as his antagonist shot
downward, but noting the new lease of
life he had secured threw off his coat and
drew out a long-bladed butcher knife.
Then deliberately kneeling down he
reached below and plunged the weapon
deep in his helpless victim.
Atkinson's hands released their hold of
the beam and he fell into the water. RAN

he reached the ground.

Reunion of the Regiment of Which Sey-

The West Chester Morning Republican
of Monday says:
The executive committee of the 9th
Regiment, of which Captain Under
wood is secretary, met in West Chester
on Saturday and talked over their plans
for the annual reunion, which will be
held here this month. There was full
meeting of the members of the COM
mittee, and the indications point to a
successful reunion.
Among the members of the committee
is Colonel John Wainwright from Will
mington, DEL, who lived here when the
Civil War broke out, enlisted here as o
private in the three months men and
returned at the close of the war as
colonel. He is now one of the most
successful of the governments pension
agents, and has q regular day to hear
cases in Coatesville. He has been i'm
portuned to do the same for West Ches-
ter and is holding the matter under con-
sideration. Having business with Slater
Russell, justice of the peace, and while
he sat waiting he remarked that some
thing about the place seemed familiar.
Being told it was Squire Whitehead's
old office he quickly added, "Why, this
is the place l was medically examined
in and sworn into service, just thirty
years ago this week, and l have never
been in it SINCE"
Colonel Wainwright married Miss
Linda Edwards of Coatcsville, and has
three children. His daughters, Maude
and Blanche, are married, being Mrs.
Shakespeare and Mrs. Pyle, and his son,
Drayton, is q student at Exeter, N. H.,
with an aspiration for West Point. Tho

IInquenL and Assessments Demanded.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept 2s.-Just at this
time when those interested in Iron Hall
certificates could rightfuliy be expecting a
dividend, no fewer than 43 branches in
Pennsylvania have been notified by Re-
ceiver Failey ut indianapolis. that they are
short in their accounts and that unless
they forward the deficit within 10 days
from the date of notice they will not par
take in the forthcoming distribution by
the receiver.
The intimation affects many thousand
certificate holders, and has caused much
alarm and SURPRISE as it was thought that
when the local courts ordered Receiver
Graham to turn over his accounts, which
had been audited and found correct by A..
S. l.. Shields, to Receiver Failey, at In
dianapolis, there was nothing further to
prevent distribution of the funds. Now,
however, further assessments must be
made, trifling in some instances, out large
in other cases.
OF the 40 branches affected 81 are in this
city. Where the amounts have been very
small they have already been subscribed.
but inasmuch as Mr.. Graham is the official
receiver for the State of Pennsylvania it is
believed that there is no authority for Mr.
Falley ordering money to be sent to him
Where large amounts are concerned 1t is
believed that it will not be possible to gel
it within 10 days, and if the threat to bal
out from their share delinquentS is helC
good, there will in all likelihood be NOR,
litigation i'll the Indianapolis courts.
IL is thought that the dividend which
will soon be declared will amount to no
more than 80 per cent.

SIX SAILORS DROWNED.


Loss of the Schooner Home on Lake
Michigan--One of the Crew savod--sIx
Washed Overheard aud Drowned.
ST. IGNAcE, Mich, Sept. 27.-Word
has reached here from Manistique
of the loss of the schooner William
Home, off Point Soul Choix, Lake
Michigan, about IL o'clock Tuesday
night. Six of her crew of seven were
drowned.
The Home left Manistique Tuesday
evening with $40 tons of pig iron, in
tow of the steamer +. r.. Buell.. The
Alyina and Fulton were also being
towed.
When off Point Seul Choix, at 1890,
the deck load shifted and the strain on
the old timbers of the schooner opened
up the seams and water began to pour
into the hold. The crew signalled the
Buell. and her other consorts, but could
get no response. The tow line was cut
and sails set in the hope of making
shore before the vessel sank. Half an
hour after the shifting of the cargo,
however, the crew found it necessary to
take to the yawl. There was heavy
sea running and the little boat soon
capsized.
All seven of the crew managed to
reach the overturned boat, but one by
one they were washed off, with the ex-
ception of Anton Minga of Detroit, who
managed to hang on to the yawls keel,
and was finally blown up on the beach
near the lighthouse, where he was found
in an unconscious condition yesterday
afternoon by Lighthouse Keeper Joe
Fountain.
1t was with the greatest difficulty that
he was brought back to consciousness
and he is in precarious condition. The
crew of the Home consisted of Captain
g. II. Henderson, Mate Walter Bland,
Sailor Keider, girl cook named Annie,
about 10 years old; Anton Minga and
two sailors whose names are unknown.

New ORLEANS, La, Sept. 26.-The
25-round boxing bout between Robert
Fitzsimmons, the champion middle
weight Of the world. and Daniel Creedon
of Australia, was contested tonight at
the Olympic Club, New Orleans. The
bout was of short duration, as the cham
pion simply outclassed his opponent and
defeated him in q decisive manner in
this second round. After few exchanges
in which Fitzsimmons staggered Cree
don, the former poised himself for a
moment, and like shot, landed his left
hand on Creedon's chin, which ter
minated the contest. The bout lasted
just minutes and 40 seconds. Fitz.
simmons weighed 1864 pounds, while
Creedon tipped the beam at 1853.

THROUGH A FEARFUL STORM.

ships in the Centre of the storm.
New 4oRK, Sept. 28.-The Morgan
line steamer FL Dorado, which arrived
from New Orleans yesterday, was 12
hours overdue. Her delay was caused
by severe tussle with the tornado, into
which she ran Sunday night off the
southern coast Of Florida, Captain
Percy had been warned of an approach
ing storm previous to leaving port by a
sudden drop In the barometer, but de-
cided to chance it.
Sunday night the wind howled
through the rigging at 50-knot clip,
and everything movable on deck had to
be doubly dashed. Tho rain fell continue
ously and in torrents. Captain Percy
never changed the vessels course, and
at daybreak on Monday he found he
had weathered the storm and was on
the edge of the tornado. At this point,
however, the wind veered to the north
ward and followed along in the wake of
the flying steamer.
1T kept right along with us, hough,"
said the captain, land followed right
up to the Highlands. We kept on the
verge of it, however, and it simply
tlirted with us all the way up. The
torrents of rain continued to fall
throughout it all. l have been in
storms before where the velocity of the
wind was as great, but never before ex-
perienced such a continuous fall of rain.
1t was like cloud burst. Just before
reaching Hatteras the lightning COM
menced to flash, and streak after streak
chased each other across the sky for 45
hours. Some of the flashes were SO
close that | thought we should be
struck. The passengers had sorry
five days trip OF it. They were housed
most of the time, and many were sick
the greater portion of the passage"
Captain Percy says that any steamers
which were "a hours behind him must
have Jared very badly for they would
be in tho very centre of the storm.
The Ward limo steamers Cienfuegos,
which went to sea yesterday, only VEN
tured as far as the lightship and then
put about and dropped anchor in
Gravesend Bay.
