D. A. Green brought the matter be- fore Governor Oates and produced certifi- cates from Judge Greene and Solicitor Bradley showing the case was not an aggravated one and recommending that the punishment so far had been commen- surate with the offense.

THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT.

 Carthy Is Victorious

SdTiIy IS V1CUOr1OuS.
 London, Aug. 13.-When the house of commons opened today Speaker Gully announced that her majesty had ap- proved of his reelection as presiding off, cer of the house. He then proceeded on behalf of the house to make customary claim for the ancient rights and priv ileges of the house of commons. which are freedom of speech. freedom from arrest and free access to her majesty After this members were sworn in in batch IS of five
 The anti-Parnellite members of the house met in the afternoon in committee room No. 15 for the purpose of electing seSsional committee to control the pol icy of the party. It was expected that the meeting would be stormy one Justin Mccarthy. leader of the anti-Par- nellites, intended to move a resolution nf discipline. The point of divergency be- tween the supporters of Jolin Dillon and Timothy Healy was it was thought also likely to cause trouble It was be- lieved that the Dillonites would seek to exclude Healy from membership on the sessional committee, and they are strong enough to do so, their humber being thirty-nine against twenty-six Healy- ites. Two members of the party were doubtful moderators who seek to avoid further dissensions in the party, and are trying to induce Sexton to mediate be- tween the two factions.
 The meeting reelected MT. Justin Me Carthy chairman of the party. SIr. Healy was present at the meeting.

MIR. PALMER WANTS REVENGE.
He Will Race the Tampa Against the Amphi-
 trite for 100 Sovereigns.

London, Aug. 13-A match has cen arranged between MT. Frederick Wills schooner Amphitrte and the American schooner Tampa, owned by MT. R. s. Palmer of New York, for 100 sovereigns. The agreement for the race provides that each boat may carry as large crew as she please. The race will be over the course of the royal yacht squadron, the course sailed August z, last when the Yampa defeated the Amphitrite and won the cup for schooncrs offered by Lord IveaGh. The owner of the Amphitrite subsequently, vas awarded the cup by the sailing committee of the Royal Yacht squadron on his protest that the Tampa had not fulfilled the conditions of the race. which provided that the yachts should sail in cruising trim, while the Yampa had on board during the race more men than she carries when cruising. Mir Palmer took his defeat on techni- cality in sportsman-lilSe manner, but feeling confident that his was the better boat challenged Mr. Wills to another contest and MT. Wills has accepted. The race will be sailed tomorrow.

McLAURIN IN A BAD LIGHT.
Accepting Retainer in the Marshall Case May Injure His Chances of Election.
 It Is Said

Jackson. Miss, Aug. 13.-A telephone message from Brandon says that the grand jury, which was empaneled yes terday, has not yet returned an indict- ment against Hon. Dabney Marshall and his three friends from Vicksburg for kill ing Dinkins last Friday The men are all in jail and the jury is working on the case. Indictments charging the prison CTS with murder are confidently expect ed tomorrow, after which the most sen sational trial in the history of the state will begin.
 Hon. A. J. McLaurin, democratic nomi- nee for governor, is being harshly crit icised for taking hand in the case. He is a leading lawyer for the defense and the size of the fee is variously reported all the way from 5000 to $500O. Tn case of conviction of Marshall Mir McLaurin as governor might be called upon to ex- ercise his pardoning power, in which event he would find himself in a very awkward predicament. Outside of condi- tions that could arise in case of Mar shalps conviction and appeal to Gov ernor McLaurin for executive clemency it is feared the very fact of his appearing as attorney in such an important and sensational trial may endanger his chances of election.
 A prominent minister of the gospel was heard to say yesterday: 'If McLalirin takes part in that trial I'll vote the pop ulist ticket"
 One defection does not count for much, but preachers are influential people around here and such threat shows which way the wind blows. Your repor- ter has heard scores of adverse criticisms on Governor-to-be McLaurin
 It is reported here tonight that Mar shall who is nominee for fotorial sena- fnY frnY May IL. might as well resign, as he will not get a vote here.

NEGRO RUNS AMUCK.
He Fires His Pistol Into Crowd of Passen- gers and Roustabouts-
 Wounded.

St. Louis, Aug. 13.-Just as the steamer City of St. Louis landed at o'clock this morning, an unknown negro, thirsting for revenge, rushed into a crowd of boat hands and passengers while they were leaving the boat. Whipping out a re- volver, he made a murderous assault upon Louis Davis. captain of the boats roustabouts. He fired five shots in rapid succession, four of which took effect in as many different men. None of the passengers were injured. The would-be murderer turned and ran up the levee, brandishing his revolver as he ran, and succeeded in escaping from the crowd in pursuit. Those who were wounded are:
 Louis Davis, colored, aged 2S, shot in kidneys, will die.
 William Thomas, colored, shot in the left leg; not serious.
 John Bell, steward of the boat, shot in the right leg; not serious.
 Frank Bennett, roustabout, shot in the left arm; not serious.
 The shooting was the outcome of fight between the unknown assailant and Louis Davis, which occurred at Cairo Sunday.

FELL 15o FEET.
The Shocking Death of Two Workinenaen at
 Chicago.

Chicago. Aug. 13.-At the mammoth col sseum show building, which is being erected opposite the Worlds fair grounds, on Sixty-third street, this afternoon, Samuel McCarney and R. McNeill were instantly killed by the falling of mass i've cross-beam of iron. Five hundred men were at work in the open space bounded by the four walls, placing and bolting iron girders 150 feet in the air. They crept to the center of the beam in order to put the bolts in nosition. wf aa the two men felt 1t shake. The ends had not been fastened to the walls. Workmen shouted from below, but the warning came too late. The great beam swayed for a moment then overbal- anced and toppled to the ground carry ing the men to death. Their bodies were nangled The scores of workmen barely had time to escape being struck by the falling beam.

 Most Grim Type.
: REMARKABLE AFFAIR AT TUSKEGEE

Tuskegee. Aug. 1S.-(Special)-A pecu- liar tragedy occurred here. Yesterday morning George Pearson a young brs- mess man, was lying in a hammock in the room of MT. Walter Samuels, bach elor friend, reading book. Samuels, who was standing near bureau, picked up an empty pistol and playfully snapped 1t several times at Pearson
 About this time Hines Reid, a young man of 21 years and a warm friend of Pearson's, stepped into the door and said to MT. Samuels, Give me the pistol I will shoot him" He snapped 1t several times and remarked, Ut is empty Give me cartridge Mir. Samuels handed him loaded shell. Reid put it in the cylinder, took deliberate aim and fired the 3S-calibor ball into Pearson's right side. Pearson, not suspccting anything had not even turned his eyes from the book he was reading.
 The wound, 1t is believed, is fatal Reid escaped and has not been caught The motive for the crime cannot be imagined Reid was entirely sober at the time and If he bore any malice toward young Pearson nobody here knows anything of it.

Awaiting Fuller Particulars.

Washington, Aug. 13.-The state de- partment is awaiting fuller particulars of the assault on the American school at Tarsus, Syria Minister Terrell has in- formed the state department that he has sent Thomas R. Gibson, United States consul at Beyrut, to Tarsus to make in- quiry into the incident, and Minister Ter rel's dispatches on the subject show that this action was taken several days be- fore the news of the assault was cabled to this country. Even before the news was generally known in Constantinople the minister had made complaint to the porte and dispatched MT. Gibson on his mission. In view of the action of the minister in not making a report upon the matter until he had been telegraphed by the state department, it is believed here that the incident was not of serious char Nter
