woman of great firmness and character.
The husband explained that we had

The ParnelI Sale.

BoRDENTowN, N. j., Oct. a.
The cry of the auctioneer has been
heard for the past few days
throughout Ironsides. The home
OF Mrs. Della s. Parnell, and the
house which was the birthplace of
the mother Of Charles s. Parnell,
is practically dismantled. There
was much sympathy expressed at
the public sale OF the woman
whose cherished belongings the
crowd was bidding for. The his
tory attached to many Of the arti-
cles to be disposed Of added to the
fame of the Stewart and Parnell
families and had the effect of
drawing to the scene many persons
from adjoining p aces. The total
receipts Of the sale will scarcely
reach $500.

KIER HARDIE AT CHICAGO.
He Thinks English and American
Aldermen Will go to the
Same He'll.

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-Kier Hardie,
tn e English socialist, and Crank
Smith NJ. P, were rendered a sup
per last night by the Chicago So
cialists, prior to their taking their
final leave from this city. al like
America" said Hardie, speaking
as il the United States comprise
the entire continent. / have been
here some time and have heard
and read much about the corrup-
tion of city councils. Yet after
careful study have come to the
conclusion that English and
American city councils find their
way to the same hell. The Eng
lish aldermen and councilmen
work in a quieter way. l know
mayor who turned his contract
over to a company, so that he
could yet contract for municipal
work in England. l know common
councilmen who have relatives
who simply represent themselves
when contracts involving large
sums Of money are awarded by
city councils. 1t is the same in
America, although it is done more
openly here. Yet they both travel
the same way, to the loss Of the
city they misrepresent.
Hardie said that he found the
socialists strong in the United
States, but they lacked organiza-
ton. He predicted the downfall
of the populist party after the
coming presidential campaign.

the Milwaukee Steel works, blew
out his brains at the corner Of the
Rue Royal and the Place de Ia Con-
corde at half-past eight o'clock

cts there were bank notes repre-
senting 10000 francs, and two let
tiers. His body was taken to the

as that Of Mr.. Hinton. He came to
Paris, where he had many friends,

Jackeon's Papers Opened.

LONDON, Oct. 24.-The docu-
ments of Explorer Jackson, which
were brought back by the Wind
ward, leaving the explorer on
Franz Josefland, and which were
sealed up in one of the cabins of
the Windward during her return
trip, have been opened and the
papers were found to record that
the expedition landed at Cape
Flora on September Z, where they
erected log houses. All the men,
bers were given certain duties to
insure regular exercise. Bear soon
appeared to the number of thirty
and together with eight walrus,
were killed and added to the win
ter's provisions. The only men
who died of scurvy refused to eat
bears meat. The winter was very
tempestuous and the arctic bears
prowled around the log cabin and
even looked i'll at the windows.
The winter darkness ended on Feb
ruary %. Jackson and two others

temperature was some times As de-
grees below zero. The ponies
proved to be invaluable for clam
bering over hummocks in the ice.
The country generally was at a
height Of $500 feet and was COW
cred with ice sheets, which were
interrupted along the coast by
high cliffs, on which were found
moses and arctic flowers. Many
geological specimens were taken
which show that the formation of
the land is mainly basaltic.
A second journey began in April
and ended in the middle of May.
1t was attended with stormy
weather and frequently the tenn
perature was so degrees below zero.
Progress was difficult on account
of the deep crevasses and the mo-
raises of mud.

Cuba's Dry Season.

HAVANA, Oct. 24.-The "dry
season." so-called in Cuba, begins
today. Cubans have been in the
midst of abundant rainfall for
some months back. 1t has been
impossible for the insurgents to be
very active under such conditions,
for it is difficult to make their way
about the country. They can do
no damage to the plantations, for
the sugar cane is green and the
fields submerged and the torch
cannot be successfully applied to
the work of devastation. The first
north wind comes invariably on
October "a. 1t dries the water up
and the cane absorbs it and in the
course of few weeks the fields are
like finder and the harvest is in
full blast. Then one may expect
to hear that the insurgent has
come forth from hiding and that
the plantations of those not in
sympathy with the rebellion will
be pillaged by fire and marauding
hosts.

country probably until March or
April and shall visit parts of it
that | have never been in before.
On my former trip l went as far
west as Denver, but / shall go to
the Pacific coast. The distances
are long, but travelling in this
country is much more comfortable
than in Europe. The Europeans
cannot realize the difference. Curl
ously enough, the train that ap-
proaches to the American standard
is the one from Paris to CONSTANT
nople. 1t has all the conveniences
except the barber shop and bath.
At one time / thought of playing

European country that L do not
know, but l am told that travel is
very hard there and the accommo-
dations poor, so / decided to re-
turn to America"

Victoria Yacht Club FUNK.

LONDON, Oct. 2i.-The Times
publishes letter from Mr.. Chas.
Thellusen, secretary OF the Royal
Victoria Yacht club, dated New
Market, October p, as follows:
ain view OF repeated comment to
the effect that my challenge for
the Americas cup might be con-
strued as an expression OF opinion
on Lord Dunraven's action in con-
nection with the last race, l beg
that you will kindly cable to the
New York Yacht club committee
that l desire to withdraw my chal-
lenge. 1 should like to add that
when / decided to challenge, 1 did
so solely in the interest Of sport
and with a desire to win back the
cup, and that no question concern
ing any incident of the last series
of races in any way influenced me,
| therefore naturally deplore my
action having been misconstrued."

death blow was given to the SNUG
CLING cases by the defense raising
a legal obstruction, claiming that
the law does not cover the cases as
arraigned and procuring writ Of
prohibition from the Supreme
court, restrainging the magistrate
from continuing the case until the
issue is argued before that body.
This struck the town lawyers like
a bombshell. They are greatly
chagrined. The argument takes

Big Railway Consolidation.

DENVER, Colo, Oct. PA
rumor is abroad in railway cir
cles to the effect that a movement
is in progress with the object of
uniting the several trauscontinent-
al lines into one system, extending
from Chicago to the Pacific coast.
The lines said to be in the deal are
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe, the Denver and Rio Grande,
the Rio Grande and West0 b, and
the Northern Oregon Short Line.
According to the report, IL the gov
eminent takes possession of the
Union Pacific and Central Pacific
as one system, consolidation of
the lines named, perhaps with the
substitution Of the Colorado Mid
land for the Denver and Rio
Grande, is almost a sure thing.

Recoinage is Suspended.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The ap-
preparation for the loss on the re-
coinage of worn and uncurrent sil-
yer coin for the current fiscal year
is exhausted and no further trans
fer OF such coin can be made from
the treasury to be minted for re-
coinage, as it is the intention of
the secretary Of the treasury not
to resume at the present at least,
the coinage Of silver bullion pur-
chased under the SHERMAN act"
and as the stock of gold bullion on
hand at the mint at New Orleans,
is very limited, the secretary has
decided to discontinue all coinage
operations at that mint for the
present. Instructions have been
given for the furlough, without
pay, Of nearly all the force en-
ployed at the New Orleans mint.
about seventy employees will be
furloughed until such time as
coinage operations can be resumed.
The treasury now holds Of silver
bullion, purchased under the
SHERMAN act" $13S.644.000 fine
ounces, the cost OF which was $l2i.-
0S0.323. The coming value Of tins
bullion in silver dollars is $l77.-
$4,000. OF this bullion, which
were coined into silver dollars, the
profit to the government on its
coinage wouldbe S54.000.000, which
could bo paidout for ordinary ex-
penses of the government or sill
yer certificates would be issued
against it. 1t is not thought
that the coinage OF silver dol
lars will be resumed at the
mint until there Is some action
by congress on the currency ques-
ton. The minis at Philadelphia
and San Francisco will continue
to be employed in the coinage Of
gold.

REPUBLICANS IN CONFERENCE,
Proceedings Informal snd all Wait
ing for National Committee.

New YORK, Oct. A.-The con-
ference of republican leaders con-
tinued at the Holland house last
night until an early hour this
morning, though the discussions
were largely informal. Senator
Quay said that he favored an early
convention. He added that he is
for Pittsburg as the next conven-
tion city, heart and soul, but on
his arrival here he had ascertained
that many of the national commit
tee men favored San Francisco as
the spot where the next national
convention should be held.
One reason why Mr.. Platt does
not want an early convention is
because next year governor and
acknowledgements are to be nom-
mated in New York state. The
delegates at large to the national
convention will be named by the
state convention that dominates
the candidates for governor and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. A national
convention in May would there
fore precipitate an early state con-
vention and long and exhaustive
state campaign. This and other
matters were discussed.
At the dinner of the republican
leaguers the following were pre-
sen: Mr.. Quay, Mr.. Platt, Gen.
Clarkson, Mr.. Carter and Mr..
Finney, Of st. Louis.
The national committees meet
ing in Washington, December l,
will, it is said, have much to do to-
ward directing the policy of the
republicans to be pursued at
Washington this winter on the
tariff schedules. The general sen-
timent heard here was to the effect
that wool and mineral ores must
be protected.

the members of the commission
were present, except Capt. Newell

was q gruesome one. Only one
head was severed at the first blow.
The necks Of the others were gashed
by the sword blows, and the I'M
fortunate wretches were then left
to die. The execution took place
quite suddenly. Since then the
names of sixteen more criminals TO

ANARCHIST HERTZEN.
Demented, in Love, He Lays Low
for the Chilean Consul in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-The police Of
this city have been instructed to
look out for Ernest Hertzen, who
Sunday afternoon made an attemp
to shoot Matthew j. Stefren, the
Chilean consul for Chicago. Hert-
zen is said to be an anarchist, and
besides, it is said, is not in his
right mind. He was at one time
employed by Mr.. Steffen, and
while working fell desperately in
love with his employers daughter.
He was discharged for making a
speech in which he said the killing
Of Mayor Carter III. Harrison was a
good thing and that he would like
to embrace Prendergast and kiss
him.
A short time ago, Miss Steffens
received letter from Hertzen in
which he asked her to meet him at
a given place. The letter was un-
answered and then another one
came. In this one Hertzen de-
clared his love for the young lady /;
said he could not live without her
and that he had determined to
make her his wife. A few days after
this Mr.. Steffen received letter
threatening his life, and Sunday
afternoon Hertzen went to the Stef-
fen home to carry out his threat.
He would doubtless have succeeded
but for the fact that Mr.. Steffen,
looking through the glass in his
front door, saw Hertzen crouching
on the steps with revolver in his
hand. The would-be slayer rang
the bell several times and receiving
no answer, doubtless made up his
mind that no one was at home, for
he went away. Mr.. Steffen then
slipped out the back way and noti-
fled the police.
