TO END THE LORDS.
Demonstration at yde Perk Against
the British Upper House.

London, Aug 26.-The national league,
for the abolition Of the House of Lords,
made a demonstration in Hyde Park to-
day. 1t has been much advertised and
was expected to be an imposing affair,
but it was fiasco. Hardly lO, 900 persons
were present.
William O'Brieu, DR.. Tanner and
Thomas Curran, all Irish members of
parliament, delivered the principal
speeches They ELECTED little enthusi-
asm. William O'Brien warned the gov
ernment that the continuation Of the
Irish support would depend on its
fidelity to the crusade against the lords
ana their policy of blocking the way to
reform.
While the conservative journals treat
the anti-Lords' demonstration as tizzle
the Daily News contends that it was sue
cessful and estimates the number of per-
sons who gathered round the platforms
at 100000. The News adds that the pro-
cession was small because most persons
walked TO the park independently of the
organizations.

DEATH IN THE BATH.

While in Bathing.

Atlantic City, n. j., Aug. 26.-William
Carr, aged 20 years, was instantly killed
this afternoon by a bolt of lightning while
in bathing in company with two young
women. He had just entered the surf,
and had but risen from a dive beneath
breaker, when the fash came, the first
intimation of a coming storm, and the bolt
struck him with fatal shock. His com
panions, the Misses Earnum, were within
ten feet of him when the bolt descended.
They suffered severe electrical shock,
and were prostrated by fright
at the sight Of their companions lifeless
body. There were hundreds of people in
the surf near by and thousands on the
strand and beach who saw the fatal flash
and the mark it struck. There was an
instant panic among the bathers, who
more or less felt the radiating shock, and
they hurried out on to the strand, as if
fearful of another visitation of the de-
stroying element. Although restoratiyes
were promptly applied, young Carr could
not be revived. His death is said to be the
first by lightning ever occurring at this
resort.

An Evangelist Who Stumped for
BreckinridRe and Emptied the Hall.
Lexington, KY, Aug. 26.-The famous
evangelist, George O. Barnes, delivered a
sermon in the court house here tonight,
which electrified his large audience, as it
was powerful appeal to all Christians
to vote for Col. Breckenridge for congress.
He cited Bible authority to prove
that he was right, and said he pitied the
preachers who had so little of the spirit
of Christians in them as to denounce the
colonel These remarks created won
derful effect on his hearers. About
twenty of them got uD and went out, and
one man asked Barnes in loud voice.
How much did you get for thisi"
Ex-State Treasurer =. G.. Sharp. who
is a strong Breckenridge man, went to
the interrupter and told him TO hush. He
soon left. For a while the scene was an
exciting one, some cheering the
preacher others condemning him and
all wrought up to the highest
pitch Such a scene has seldom been
witnessed here at religious meeting, but
quiet was finally restored, and Barnes
concluded his address by begging his
hearers TO be forgiven.

PROBABLE SUICIDE.
An Unrecognizable Body Found on the
Beach of Lake Superior.

Duluth, Mimi, Aug 26.-Col Robert G.
Ingersoll's recent letter asserting suicide
is no sin is partly responsible for a suicide
that came to light to-day. The body of
Joseph McName, 30 years old, and single,
was found on the beach of Minnesota
Point, a short distance east of the ship
canal, and it is probable he threw himself
in and was carried out into the lake by
the current which sweeps around
Minnesota Point. The body was al
most unrecognizable because it had
been pounding on the beach long time
His feet aud hands were bound. Eight
weeks ago he came here for his health
from Kansas City, where he and his
brother had been in business. He spent
his S40O in sprees, and became despondent
when his mother refused to send him
money tor his hotel bill, To his fellow
boarders he talked suicide and quoted In
gersOll, and ten days ago he disappeared
His parents, who are well-to-do, live at
junction City, Kan.

tending toward the city, until o'clock,

ceeded north and south. The territory
covered by the fire was about ten acres

lion feet OF lumber belonging 10
Booth which was valued at about Sl50,0O0,
also six railway cars with lumber, be-
longing to the Export Lumber Company

lieved the fire was the work Of inceu-

After 10 o'clock before the brigade had
il under control il was burning brightly
Should a heavy wind arise the result
would be terrible as the territory sur
rounding the fire is covered with lumber
piles and wooden houses.
