INTO TWELVE Wards
That is the Republican Scheme
for Redistrieting the City.

Ward Line Commissioner James Fielder
qualified before City Clerk Scott at noon to-
day. Immediately afterward be joined the
other Commissioners in Mayor Wanser's
private office. The doors were locked and
bolted, and the five gentlemen settled down
to business at once
Henry H. Holmes was elected President,
and Charles Laws, Secretary. IL has been
definitely decided by the Republican major
ity to create twelve wards instead of nine,
as was at first proposed. President Holmes
explains the increase by saying that the Com
mission will be enabled to make fairer and
more eqitable division Of the votes In the
same connection it is whispered about that
the lines have been so arranged as to make
at least eight of the wards hopelessly Repub-
lican. However, with view perhaps to
convincing Messrs. Grouse and Fielder,
democrats, thai their wishes are to be re-
spected to some extent in the redistricting, a
resolution was passed directing each COM
missioner to file with the Secretary
of the board at a meeting to be
held July 25, map showing
the manner in which he believes the city
should be divided into wards The five maps
will be considered and the salient features of
each embodied into one, which will be sub
mitted to the Republican leaders for ap-
proval or rejection.
Before adjourning Commissioners Weastell
and Fielder were appointed committee to
secure suitable headquarters for the speedy
completion of the work.

THE GRAND PORTE ROCKS.
Dreadful Damage in Turkey From
Renewed Earthquake Shocks,


CoNsTANTNoPLE, July 13, 1S94-The
shock of earthquake which was felt in this
city at 4:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon
equalled in severity any Of the seismic
manifestations which preceded it, and af-
fected a large area 4 territory. The great
est damage was done in Adrianople and
IsInid, respectively 1877 and So miles from
this city, the one in a northwesterly dipec-
tion and the other southeast
The damage to property along the Dar-
danelles is very serious, and the loss of life
within the territory affected by the shock
considerable. Several persons were killed in
this city. The quays in the city and at
Galata are so badly cracked that many of
them are practically ruined The immense
custom house at Galata is badly shaken and
cracked.
Lesser shocks were felt this morning
They did no particular damage to property,
bur they were effective in augmenting the
disnay of the people, the most of whom are
congregated in the open spaces fearful of
being buried beneath falling walls Thou
sands of persons have taken refuge in the
open fields outside the city
The impression is growing that Constan-
tinople is the centre of the disturbances, and
the anxiety and terror of the people are
much increased thereby.

Napoleon W. Carter, painter, was instant
ly killed last evening by falling from the top
of the Granite Building to the bottom of the

BIT OF OLD ROMANCE.


II
Captives From the Sioux.
WASHINGTON, July IS, 1o94.-An echo of
the Indian troubles in Minnesota when that
new prosperous commonwealth was an out
laying territory of the United States, is
found in a report made from the Committee
on Indian Affairs, which accompanies a bill
under the suggestive title of "a bill to reim-
burse the State of Minnesota
In 1857 Mr.. Charles E. Flanderau was
United States Indian agent for the Sioux of
the Mississippi, with headquarters in Cen
tral Minnesota. As a result of Indian
uprising in the spring of that year forty
two persons were killed and four white
women, Mrs. Noble, Mrs. Thatcher, Mrs.
Marble aud Miss Able Gardner. were car
ried by the Indians into captivity
Agent Flanderau, through the aid of some
Indians secured the release of Mrs. Marble.
The expenses attending the release were
81 600, which the agent paid. He subse
quently expended 5000 in organizing an eK
petition composed of Indians to rescue the
remaining woman. After much effort Mrs.
Gardner was returned to her family, but
this involved an expenditure of 1920 adj
ditional when Mr.. Flanderau also adj
vanced.
Subsequently the territory of Minnesota
reimbursed him for the thirty hundred
and odd dollars which he had advanced and
the purpose of bill reported today is to pay
this money back to the State

NO GOOD FROM HASTE.
The President recognizes that an impair
tial consideration of the condition of Chicago
cannot be had in the present disordered state
of affairs 1t is not at all likely
the commission when appointed will organ
ize for business before August l, and even
at that time there will be no haste to reach
conclusion. No one believes for an in
stant that Mr. Wright will pro-
ceed without deliberation, and as the
strike is virtually ended already, that any
good can be secured by excessive haste.
RESULT OF THE DELIBERATIoN.
THERE'S no probability that satisfactory
inquiry can be completed before the end of
the present session of Congress, and, as no
immediate executive action towards
the settlement OF the existing diff
ferences is contemplated by the sections
of the act under which the commission is to
be formed, there is no apparent necessity for
hurry The only possible result of the in
vestigation after ali is the prepara-
ton of a carefully considered
report providing the President with
material for message to Congress and in
dicating to the House and Senate what labor
legislation would appear to be advantage
ous, The result of the commissions
deliberation will probably be of value
to the general public and particu-
larly to laboring men, as giving caln i'm

to be part owner of the new ValkyTie, with
which Lord Dunraven will challenge for the

The PaH MaH Gdzette, commenting on the
series of yacht races in the Clyde, says that
hitherto not much that is decisive has been
proved on the Clyde courses, since they are
much more tortuous than the yachting

have shown thatthe Britannia is not inferior
to the Vigilant and have also confirmed the
belief that the Valkylie was not sailed in
proper form in New York If the Ifince Of
Wales should challenge for the Americas

CAPE MAY, July 1S 1S34.-Richard Pearce,
the wife murderer, was hanged here today.
Pearce murdered his wife at Goshen on
Monday, February 49, His motive was evil
IDENTIFY jealousy, and he was known to have
previously threatened her with death. The
woman was found in granary, near her
home with her throat cut and skull crushed.
Near by lay the husbands razor and
hloodstained hatchet. Pearee was arrested
the same day at the residence OF his
mother, near SWANS sation, on
the West Jersey Railroad, and so
great was the feeling against him, partleu-
larly by the colored populace that the latter
were with difficulty restrained from
lynehing him. He was convicted IN
April, the jury being out but
a few minutes, and was removed to
Bridgeton for safe keeping, the Cape May
Jail not being completed There We're no
witnesses to the crime, which is believed to
have been committed in the granary.
The only other person at home
at the time of the murder was Mrs.
Pearce's father, and he was confined to his
house by sickness. The evidence against
Pearce was wholly of a circumstantial ma
ture. but it was sufficiently strong TO war

for Kangley, word having been received
that the miners there had made plans
for sacking stores and destroying
mine property. There are now 500 deputies
in La Sale County. It is believed their

regions OF the county. The County Board
has voted Sheriff Taylor authority to pur !
chase an additional 100 Martini rifles. This
makes 200 now at his command.
