LOUIS Position of the Organisation on Pension Laws Defined. ' The National Encampment of th-? Grind Army of the Republic asseib!el ia St Louis on Thursday morniag. Tlie report of committees was resumes J, the first in or ier being the Committee on PerLsions. They relate their efforts to pro -lire liberal legisla tion from Congrcs? and the fate of the Dfr pendent Pension Bill. The ommttte were at Washington during the debates in Congress over the bill. 7 After the veto of the Dej)endent Pension bill by the President the Committee prepared a new bill 7 for presentation at the next Congress. This bill makes pro vision for pensions to all veterans who are or who may hereafter become un able to earn their own livelihood; for a direct continuance -of pensions for widows in their own right; for an increase of' the present pittance to minor chil dren, and for fathers or mothers from any date of dependence. Kuch a law, the I committee says, would at once remove fully js.imw veterans rrom the public almshouses I where they now rest, making them, pen sioners instead of paupers, provide pen sions for fully as many more now depeulont upon pri vat) charity, and put i"to the general pension laws, for the first time, the recognition of the principle that pen sions may te granteu to survivors of the late war w ithout ab o'uta proof of disibility arising from the service, prj f al r.-jjt, ini i sible to procure altr the lapse of more than twenty years. l bo bill is similar m general principle to that vetoed, but the obje.-tion-paupar clause is omitted, making this a dis ability, an 1 not a dep -n lent. bill. Therau t of submitting this bill td the comrades of the (Jran 1 Ar.ny bf the Repub'.ic shows that whatever legislation sme of the comrades desire, they are jracticall unanimous for everything contiined-in this bill. "Whatever e'se may be e'es'ra ble, the committee knows from the ex perience of five years that any additional legislation is only to be secure 1 inch by inch alter most persisent effort. Th) committer therefore recommend the continuance of earnest effort in favor of the following: , "The bill prepared by this conim'tteo granting pensions to all veterans now dis abled or in need, to mothers and fathers from date of dependen "o; contin aance of pensions to widows in their own right and an increase for minor children. ,1 "All of the recommendations for increasp and equalisation of pensions for sjeeial disal bilitkvs rxadu in his recent report by Pensioi Commissioner Black. ! "A pension of 1 per month to all widow of honorably discharged soldiers and sailoi of the late war. "Increased jiensions for th3 severer disabil ities, subi!ant?ally as preseuted in the bill prepared by the United States Maim3d Vet erans' League. -"Pensions for the survivors of rebel pris ons, substantially as presonte.l in the bill of the ISational Association of Prisoners of War. "Increased pensions for Jojs of hearing or eyesight. "A re-enactment of the arrear law, an equitable equalization of bounties. "The same pension for the widow of the representative volunteer soldier of the Union Army John A. Logan es is pafd to the widows of those typical regulars, Thomas, the Kock of Chickaniauga, and Hancock, al ways the yuiierb." The Committee on the Annual Address of the Commandejyn-Chief indorsed th) ad dress and congratulated Commander-in-Chief Fairchild and the Grand Army of the Republic upon his administration of th) past year, stating that all his official acts and every sentiment contained in his address meet the approval of the com mittee, and they believe, the approval Jof the comrades.- They recommended the appoint ment of Past Commander-in-Chief Robert U. Beath, ' as historian ot the order, in dorsed the recoamendation of a perma nent national '-headquarters, and approved tho suggestion that the General Govern ment include in the next decennial census an enumeration of the Union soldiers and sail ors of tho lata war who may te living in lS'.K). The report was uuanimously adopted, with three cheers for Fairchild. Close of lie Encainpincnt At the final meeting of the Grand Army National Encampment . 'on .

Resolutions offered by Mr. V a ndervoort cen suring President Cleveland for vetoing th" Deix-nd-mt Pension bill were defeatel, and the majority rep rt of the committee was adopted by a vote of 818 to 17:5.

Some weeks ago she went to Cincinnati, with her lover, Jacob Ebcrlein, on a shopping tour, and while a friend of Eberlein's was showing them through an electric light works, Miss Har mon, in some way, received a severe shock and fell to the floor senseless : For several days she remained in a para- Ivzivi vi.lit i.,n a hnn Khn npraincwl rhA of her limbs., but immediately beean to lose nesn. me nair on tne icit.siae or ncr heatl turned gray and began falling out, After four weeks Miss Harmon had been tlmKf-,ri,,rwt f o vntin cr .ml lSunrf snma girl into a feeble old woman.

He Puts an End to a Paring: Attempt to Iloba DelawareJBank. The boniest and most exciting attempted lank robbery ever known in Delaware, even exceed ing in .audacity and exciting cirenm tanei the attempt upon the Delaware Bank n Wilnington in November, 1871, occurred in Newcastle. , The attempt was mae upon the Newcastle ib.i n -h of the Farmers' Bank of the Etatett Delaware." The building comprises the bank and cashier's residence, and has a, small yard in front guarded by a light iron railing. The bank occupies he corner room, on the first floor,! with a parlor opposite and sitting room and kitchen to the rear. The second floor is dev. ted to bedrooms, located on each side of a hallway, which is about six feet in width. ' Tho fiopt room on the right was occupied by Richard G (Jooj.er, cashier of the bank, and his wife, and the room in the rear by two of his daughters. The front room on the left of the hallway was occupied by William J. Black, brother-in-law of Cashier Cooper and United States Consul at Nurem berg, and the room in the rear of this by Miss Mary Cooper, daughter of the cashier. It was on this floor that the exciting scenes of the arlv morninz occurred. . The! burglars were four in number, one evidently kept watch outside while the ethers attempted the inside work. A ladder that they stole from a neigh!xring stable they put against the front of the bank building to the rightof the window opening into Mr. Black's room. Immediately under the window is a ledge about a foot wide covered with tin. It forms a cornice for the main entrance door of the dwelling porti n of the building. On this ledge they placed the side of a wheel barrow, evidently for the purpose of deaden ing the sounds of thrir footsteps upon the tin covering of the cornice. They thenentered the building through the window of Mr. Black's room. He was awakened by the noise, but they tried to quiet him with a revolver closely pressed to his temple, at the same time tying his feet. They were proceeding i en ve op his head in tr-e beadclothes when their operations were interrupted. The interruption was made by Mr. Cooper, who heard Mr. Black's cry for help and went on a tour of investigation. In the hallway he met one of the burglars, who instantly covered him with a revolver which he held- in pno hand while in the other he swung a small bull's-eye antern. The burglar sternly commanded silence, but Cashier Cooper, with great presence of mind, instantlv raised bis right hand, in which be held a "British bulldog" revolver and fired straight into th) burglar's face. - The intruder replied with a shot from his pistol, which failed to do any damage, and Mr. Cooper fired again, but (without effect. The wounded burglar then staggered through Mr. Black's room, nr ng an etlectual snot at that gentleman as he lay tiel. to the bed, and escap d through the window by which he had entered. Blood marks 1M to the suspi cion that the wounded robber fell into the river and was drowned in attempting to escape. The robbers got no boty and left be hind them a kit or burglar s i toois, a wneei- barrow, a ladder and two sticks of dynamite. They are supposed to have come and gone by way of a boat in the river near by. WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE. A Christian Temperance Union Iiraneh Leaves the Order Suddenly. Some time ago a branch of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union was organized at Union, S. C., with a membership compris ing tho most prominent ladies of the place. At the time of the organization no mention was made of the woman's suffrage plank in the constitution of the order. When printed matter containing the constitution, rules, &c, arrived the ladies were horrified to find that they had committed themselves ta woman's suffrage. They had shown great zeal in their work and were regarded as one of the most successful branches of the order in the South. They had devised a system of giving relief to families made poor from drink and were n ted for their liberal and broad charities. They were determined to continue in their good, but were equally de termined not to be members of any organi zation that-favored woman's suffrage, f A meeting was held to consider what steps to take and it was unanimously decided to soecde from the State and National organi zation of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and form an independent 'society to carry on their work at Union. Their action has caused considerable comment throughout the State and they have been commended by nearly every newspaper. It is expected that every other branch of the organization in this State will follow their example. Miss Frances Williard and Mrs: J. Ellen Forster visited this State and organized a number of branches of their order some time ago. FISHERIES NEGOTIATORS. "Wm. Ij. Putnam, of Maine, and James I5."AiielI, of Michigan. j Washington:, D. C Ti e President has invited William L. Putnam, of Maine, and James B. Aifgell, of Michigan, to act with Lthe Secretary of State in t he negotiations for a settlement with Great Britain of the disputes growing out of the qu. stions con nected with the rights of our fishermen in Canadian waters. Boh of these gentlemen have accepted, and it is believed by Secretary Bayard that their fitness for their important duty will be recognized by the country. Mr. Putnam has been of counsel for the United States for the last two years in cases ari-iing under the law and treaty in conneo - t on with the fisheries dispute. Mr. Angell is President of the University ol ancnigan an,d has had experience in international transactions, having been one of the Com missioners by whom the latest treaty with China was negotiated. Mr. Putnam is a Democrat and Air. Angell a Republican. The Secretary said their selection was n t only a recognitioa of the two political par ties, but a geographical recognition. The interests ot me esiern oiaies lying aiong the Canadian bonier were equally great with the New England States in securing a settle ment of the difficulty with Canada. It is expected that Mr. Chamberlain will leave England about the end of October and that the negotiators will meet in Washington by the middle of November. A DEFEAT OF THE K OF L Operators Accept 3IHI Owners Terras at Liouisville. The strike in the woolen mills of Louisville Ky., which was inaugurated two months ago, has proven a f-iSure. The mill owners refused to take back any of the strikers who woe VI cot sign an agreement to glTe op all I " 0 theold was. They were compelled to close RoentlF. h wever. their employees began to seek their old places ut the owner's term and nearly all of the weavers hive agreed to the conditions.

I NTERNATIONAL CONTEST BETWEEN THE VOLUNTEER ASD TIIISTLS. The British Cutter .Tbbtle Defeated Twice ia Succession! THE AMERICA'S CUP The greatest nautical evelitof the 3'ear ha been the international yacht ruea at New Yorkbetween Aimrica's representative, the sloop Volunteer, and Greit) Britain's cham-. pion, the Scotch cutter Thistle. This last contest for the America's cup differs from previous international contests ItwasniiS 6imply a race, prompted by the enterprise and pluck of an English yachtsman anxious for the honor of reclaiming the Cup captured by the American yacht in British waters thirty -six years ago. It was a test of the merits of the American and English models as represented by the best yacht ever yet launched in English waters and the best yacht ever built in America. . It was a con test between the two nations for the yachting championship of the world. THE VOLUNTEER. The conditions upon'which the America's cup is sailed for are that the challenger must win it twice out or three races m order to carry it off, and the de fender must be victorious the same number of times to insure its remain ing in this country. One of t he series of t hree races must be sailed over the regatta course of the club holding the cup, and that is why the race of this : year s series was sailed over the course of the New York Yacht UluD. ltxs second race is over a course of 20 nautical miles to windward and return, and the .third race, if neces sary, over a triangular course of 40 nautical miles outside ib'andy Hook. The following vivid account oi: the victory won on the hrst day by the olunteer is taken from the New York papers; liy 8 o'clock a. M. the harbor wai m a tumult of preparation. Industrious launches leaped from wave to ware, and up th3 gang ways ot tne yacnts were handed innumerable ana bewildering girls; leviathan steamers blew long and fitfully, hurrying their thousands aboard; multitudinous cats floated seaward with limp wings; dories and dnfgies, - f--i-rTcr' ii-KamiiO mimmiitli 1 i la aC? packets, barges everything which could float and move was busy as busy could be, getting packed for the race. Finally all was ready. ; The two yachts had hoisted their anchors and were standing to and fro like two thoroughbreds on a track, watching each - other and the nagsinp. They had tho r same sail set. includr mg those mentioned, and tne oaoy jib topsail. Their . perfect symmetry made them seem smalL They were the centres of observation to an immense circle of boats', for. all the eraft had baen forced tack till they fnrmnl nn immnnsA rmtr nn the water, as if for a contest with soft gloves for the two nation-) al representatives. The Regatta- Committed on the steam yacht Electra looked at their watches. "Bang!" went tha Electra's gun. It was 12 .'Mo clock. ' - - THE thistije. The yachts stood back and forth uneasily. "Bang!"' went tbe second -eun at 12:, and almost with its echo the Thistle came about, and, under the light breeze, crossed the line first. The Electra tooted, and then tbe hullabaloo was indescribable. Every whistle w turned loose to iu fullest capicity. Abo e the dull roar of the bi? ones roa t e shrieks, screams and squeals of tbe litt e rtcaroers. Bro-o-o-o-o,' Bra-a-a-a-a, Bre-e-e-e," V Brow-ow-ow, the whistle steamed away in dissonant and deaf eninz chorus, their boats covered with steam, t h.ronh whic h tha smoke of tnanyjguns cams bursting out, though their report, rapid ha a pick of big firecrackers, could scarcely be beard in the grand uproar that rrevsJled. Amid the magnificent racket the Volunteer era! on the heel of her rival, tbe respee tive time of the two being 12f:5 8 and l2cs a. ine breeze was from Koulh. Both boats , stood across bay, the ' Volunteer rolling furthest. Then, over the faces of the specta tors on the wharves, of the aiitional thoa sjuils that lined the shores, of tbe black throngs' on ths two fort, and. tbe xaoltitaie ca the verandas of the shore hotels came a look of blankest surprise. .The Volunteer. ' furthest inshore, had caught a breeze. The Thistle was unlucky and did not share it. The Boston yacht began to speed down the Bay in the most cheerful and r-arelesa of moods, while th Thistle stood still on the face of the water. Minute after mtnut? thj strange sight continued. It was partly luck and lartly ju dgmoot, but it was unfortunate. The race was to bo ended at the start it teamed.- - Yard after yard the Volunteer cmt away until she had nearly a mile the advantage. Then the sails of the Thistle miei ana sue. too, started, but too late. It was one of those accidents' that occur in all races. me win baa shifted four points to the westward. The Volunteer had caught it long ahead of her rival, and as she went ahead of her down the Bay it constantly frets bene i, and she got the first of its fresh ness and increased her lead. It shifted g'udually, and the .Thistle, trying to follow the " Volunteer continual! v f e 1 off. until it seemed that she was no matrh for the Burgrs boat in iKinting. Slw headed in c!o3 to the win I and fell on so often 83 her sails began to flutter that the superiority of thecenterooard boat in close sailing became more apparent in seeming .than it was in fact The whole fleet of sptictatora were surprise I. They had looked forward to a very dose race, and it nau oecome simply a procession. All the wayout to the Southwest Spit this state of affairs continued. The throne of boats rushed into the Narrows so close to gether that it seemed as if one could pass from fort to fort by merely jumping from deck to de?k. They went forward rapidly to. keep up with the Volunteer, and, consequently, interfered with S the Hustle. The wash Of the steamers natur ally impaded her progress; and this would have !een a source of general regret had not the same thing happened later on to the Volunteer, so that the injury was equalized. The Volunteer was away m the lead, like a snow-white lamb leading the flock. They all stuck close to her, leaving the Thistle far lie- hind, like a little black sheep that nobody w ould speak to. The course to the lightship wai in the same order with the same incidents. The old red ship, with its round day marks at the mast head, rolled in quite a sprightly fashion over the responsibility which had been thrust upon it, and was gorgeous .with nn entire new set of Stars and Stripes. The f oating city surrounded her Jong tefore the Yo unteer arrived. When the white boat rounded they made such a whistling and cannonading as the lightship never heard before. It was a n?w Venice out in the ocean. Secretary Wrhitney de clared it the greatest marine spectacle that Aew ork had ever seen. J The homeward course wasnotexeitinr. The Volunt er had a lead that it was impossible for the Thistlo to overcome. After rounding Kuoy 10 she set her spinnaker anu taniy new. 1 he ivlectra people made themselves merry. 1 he plain an 1 sin pie fare ot the cabin was discussed witn interest. i During the long course homeward the posi tion of the two boats changed littla Finally the fleet of steamers, augmented by number less yachts that had been waiting up t he Bay, came to a standstill about Buoy lp. lbe Electra came to anchor. Everybody was waitinz to welcome the victor. She came sweeping over the waters as if she wero alive. Her snow-white spinuaker was drawing to its fullest, and sae seemed like a hurrying whito cloud. The green waves curled away under her fore foot, , holding up to her widta gar lands of victory. In the W est the sink ing sun was a disk or molten red tire. Across the dull green water, marking a line straight lrom the buoy to the flagship, it scattered flecks of ruddy liquid gold tfl mark the win ning line.

The signals fluttered. the spectators cheered, the tugs, like a llock of brown beetles, rushed across the line to con gratulate her, and the whistles could have been heard when they once cot to eoing by every sharp eared Scotchman on the Clyde itselr. After manv minutes came the Thistle. She too came rushing in with spinnaker set,but all too late. She too was greeted with cannon and whistle, but it was rather melancholy. 1 here was no eolden line across the restless water. The sun had gone out behind the clouds and the landscape wai gray and cheerless. A silver moon shona down upon her coldly, lor it was a cold day for tha Thistle, the coldest day she had seen in her racing experience. The Volunteer's Second Victory. After one postponement, owinsr to unfav orable weather, the second and final race of the scrips was sailed on Friday, and resulted in a still more decisive victory for the Ameri can sloop Volunteer. The day was rainy and THE START FOR THK SECOND RACE. .0- ;y and race therefore was divested ot swm " of the spectacular features whivh pre vaiM o. the first ilay. . '. he ccurs was tw nty miles to windward rnrl upturn from the Scrtland: Lightship. During the race a fresh. wholesail breeze pre- ailed with a lumpy sea, just the sort of w. a'.her in which a cutter usually shows to the best advantage as compared with a cen terloard sloop. But in the twenty miles thrash to windward the Volunteer beat the Thi-itle by 11 minutes W seconds. The i ue of tlie race was never in doubt after the boati came about on the second tack, and it was only a question of bow much the Volunteer had gained by being able to lie closer to the wind than the cutter. . There after the race as a race lost much of its in terest, because the Volunteer continued steadily to out-point and out-foot the cutter mtil the windward mark was roached. Ia the twenty nvles run before the wind back to tha starting line the Thistle gained 2 minutes .r4 peconds. Tbe wind freshened dur ine this staze of tbe race and. as it came up frcm behind it helped tbe Thistle a little more than the. Volunteer.. Something, too. si e gained bv being quicker to set ber spin naker than "was tbe Volunteer. It was the opinion of most jndges that if the wind had blown harder the Volunteer wrmld have pained still more on the Thistle in the thrash to windward. The actual time consumed by tbe Volunteer in completing the forty miles was .1 hours 42 minutes .75 second, and by tbe Thistlo 5 hours M minute 51 seconda. Many steamboat, steam yachts and tugs accoinnanied the yachts, notwitbstandinztbe anprop.tions weather, but their number ap peared smatl by comparison with tbe myriad of craft of all sorts that crowded about the racers during the first day' race. Tbe steamers on tbe whole behaved themselves well and there could be no complaint on. that score. Ko, therefore, the America's enp, won thirty-six years ago from Great Britain, will remain in this country at kaat a year longer.
