Throe Large Establishments Go and a Theatre Audience Frightened Lass $40O,OOO. The largest fire hat Syracuse, N. Y., has experienced for ten years occurred, when t'-reebf its largest business firms were burned out, besides many smaller ones; Loss, $400, 000, about half covered by insurance. The buildings burned were on South Salina street between Walter and Railroad streets. The rear of the buildings jutted against the Wiet ing Opera-House, which was filled w.th peo ple to see Joe Emmit. A panic was only prevented by the coolness of Mr. Emmet and Manager Lehnan, who assured the peo ple that there was no immediate danger. The house was soon cleared, but notbefora the walls near the stage were Very hot There were several explosions of Cart ridges in Everson & Ca's hardware store, but fortunately the firemen and crowds of people escaped in time. The fHmes were carried north along South Salina street towards tho Wieting block, the largest in the city, but the heavy brick fire walls saved it David R. Putman, while endeav oring to save some of the goods in the third story in the Everson block, was hemmed in by the fire and his escape cut off. He was rescued from a window by a ladder, just as the flames had reached him. The fire was discovered about 8 o'clock in Barney Lambley & Co.'s dry-gooJs store. Two young men escaped to tne street with difficulty after placing the books in the safe. The flames spread to Geirgo C. Young & Co.'s dry-gsods store, located on the first and second "floors of a four-story block.

DEMANDING A STATUTORY PARLIA MENT FOB THE IRISH PEOPLE. The British Minister Sererely Arraigned bj the Ex-Premier. The Congress of the Liberal Federation opened tho other day at Nottingham, Eng land. Ex-Premier Gladstone made a speech, in which he reviewed the situation in Ireland and denounced the British Government for the manner in which it was dealing wit'a the Irish question. His rising to speak was the signal for loud and prolonged cheering. Mr. Gladstone said he would tell them pTainly that ho wa? not there to say smooth things. It was a deplorable fact that the set tling of the great Irish question, might have been settled last year had their been a dispo sition to discuss it in a spirit of candor and fairness, had been again B3t aside and was still penning, its duhcultiei aggravated and its f prospects uncertain. He had always told tha Conservatives that the choice lay between 1 coercion and home rule. Thi Conservative! had told them that home rule was an i lls ureaiu, uut events naa snown tnat it was not A croreion bill had been passed against combinations, against the liberty of the press and the right of public meeting, and not against crime. The Irish spectacle was now a grave and serious one, and if it continued it would drive Ireland into such a state that the difficulties of the Government would be come almost insurmountable. Mr. Gladstone denied that he proposed horns rule simply to advance Liberal interests. It was doubtful, he said, whether the Tories ac cepted hom3 rule in it3 broad principle! in the same way that they accepted his proposals in 1872 and in 1-81. He wanted a statutory Parliament in Dublin, subject to imperial control. There was nothing to prevent any reasonable man from agreeing with the Liberals' Irish proposals without reference to thi3 or that particular or detail. The immediate necessity of the day was to watch the way in which Ireland was now governed. If the government persisted in their rash and foolish policy it would naturally lead to political demoralization, and render it in th9 highest degree difficult, even for Englishmen and a Parliamant truly representing their best and most enlightsned conclusions, to deal rapidly and beneficially wifch Ireland. Only one word could describle the present system of Irish govei nment . It was "impertinence.'1 The events of the hist few weeks in Ire land would n )t have been tolerated in Eng land. He condemned the action of the authorities al Mitchellstown. He admitted having used t iie words, ,lR9ra9mb?r Mitch ellstown!" Tho affair must and would be remembered. The country had an account to settle wilh the government ' in con nection with that affair. The Mihellstown authorities were undoubtedly wrong, yet Mr. Balfour, in behalf of the Government, un equivocally assumed tin responsibility for their acts. The worst feature of the Mitchellstown incident was that the action of tho authorities there had becom3 a model and pattern for the whole of Ireland. The whole system of government in Ireland required to be thoroughly reformed,root and branch. There had been a break down in the Government in all essentials. A radical change was wanted, and such a change an enfranchised nation alone could accomplish. Mr. Gladstone drew a glowing picture in defenca of his administration of tha law in Ireland and elsewhere in the Empire. He ex pressed himself as perfectly confident that i f a general election were held immediately it would result in the return of a Parliament resolved to do justice to Ireland. BLAZE IN ST. LOUIS. A Furniture Factory and Busines3 Houses Burned Half a Million ' Gone. The most destructive fire that has occurred in St Louis in more than a year broke out in the Woolman-Todd Company's wholesale boot and shoe house, 413 Washington aveuue. It soon communicated to John Martin & Co.'s wholesale clothing house, next door on tho east, in the same building, and then, sweeping swiftly through both stories, ign -ted the rear part of the large five-story ware rooms of the Scarrett Furnishing Company, which were fil ed from cellar to garret with furniture. Here the fire raged with great fury, and in the course of an hour the entire building was gutted and all its contents de stroyed. South of the Scarrett building, No (507, was the building of the Mitchell Furni ture Company, the fourth and fifth stories of which were entrely ruined and the lower floors flooded with water. North of the Sc r rett building. No. (515 jind 617 were occu pied by Ieonard Roos, extensive furriers.

Three Men Killed, Two More Wound ed arid a Building Set on Fire. E. C. Wilsdon left his japan oven, at Ses sions & Sons' foundry, at Bristol, Conn., in the room where a dozen men and boys, were at work, to go to his dinner. He had but just gone out when the oven exploded with fearful violence," instantly killing one man and two boys, lacerating two others and setting the building on fire. It wai some time before the flames were subdued! and then there mere dragged forth the charred remains of the three victims. Theyare John Shane, aged thirty-one; Burt Cleveland, aged eighteen, and Willie Young, aged fifteen. The wounded are Daniel Griffin and William Bonnier. No reason can be assign ed for the accident The exp osion drew hundreds to tbe scene and the excitement was great, particuJary before it was learned how many victims there were in the fmes.

Charles L. Phillips, president of tbe de funct Columbian Bank at Philadelphia, has left the country, having sailed for Havre, France on the Campagnie Generate Trans atlantique steamer La Champagn from New York. His departure was sudden and known to but very few, and the belief is general I that he left the country to escapa criminal prosecution for the part he took in the mis management of the broken bank, The Columbian Bank, which also had a savings fund branch in ftertuaown, closed its doors on J nly 80, and made au "assignment in favor of its creditors. The liabilities were claimed by the officers to have been between $200,000 and $300,000, and. the assets more than double that amount Tho appraisers, however, after about eight weeks' work, found that the assets consisted principally of worthless stocks and merchandise in ware houses on which advances ha I been made, in some cases equal to the full , value of the gooJs, and notes made and indorsed by Phil lips and his associates The saving f und de positors were mostly working people who had deposited the savings of years with Phil lips and his associates, amounting to about $N),0U0. Several meetings of depositors were held, and counsel had been retaiued. The depositors demanded the arrest of Phil lips on a criminal charge. He only laughed at the threat, an-t told them that the failure of the bank was an honest oe, and they would all receive their money in time, and declare! there was no fraud about the f ail ure, and said it could not te helped. The chairman of t he depositors' association which was formed at one of the meetings, when informed of President Phillips' flight, said: "We have been doing all we could to find evidence that would warrant his arrest on a criminal ch irge, and we were just getting matters in good shape. We wanted to be sure of having evidence enough to convict him and send him to prison before we made any move in the matter. He has no doubt heard of what was being done, and taken time by the forelock and got out of danger. A certain transaction of his canio to light, and we think was actionable, and he may have receive 1 a hint of it It was gen erally understood his tru-'ks were sent away some time ago, and his flight is no surprise to us." One of the counsel for the depositors said:. "We wore almost ready to arrest him. The affidavit on which the warrant of arrest would have been issued has been prepared and would have been p aced in the hands of the district attorney in a few days. 'The affidavit sets forth that stock was bought by Phillips in his own name for a small sum, and immediately sold to the bunk at an - enormous advance. The depositors were swindled by Phillips. "He could be extradited, but the expense would be greater than thes 3 poor people can bear." Phillips a short time ago sent his children- to France, ana gossip men saia ne was genu ine his own trunk with them, and would soon follow. An Phi f artel nhia taDer says in explanation f PresfePhillips'sudden departure for France ' Mr Philhrva nhnntsiT weeks aco Kent hia ree younger cnuaren to tne nome or tsaron e Lorme. a French nobleman and intimate personal friend, who resides near a convent 1U V ill U 11 lit? 1V19UCU .1X1.1 .

AN INCENDIARY SERVANT. She Stole the Jewelry, Fired the House and Has Run Away. . Some time ago Charles J. Roe, took up his residence in his fine house in the valley between Sharon and Norwood, Mass. He took as a servant a girl named Kate Agnes Gleasob. Shortly after hiring the girl, in May last, stones were thrown through the windows at night, three valuable Shetland poniis were poisoned, money and jewelry taken at certaiu timas, and finally on Juno 19. tha house was set oa fire and burned to the grou d, entailing a loss of $20,000. Some time after the fire the Gleason pirl went to Mrs Roe's sister, who lived with him brintrinsr certain nieces of iewelrv which she - o O K j said she found in the ruins. The articles bore no trace of injurv. and suspicion was aroused against the frirl. It was found that she had thrown tho stones, poisoned the ponies and stolen the valuables. She did not confess, however, to setting fire to the house. A. warrant was obtained for her arrest, but owine to th? cirl's promising to return some of the jewelry if she was adow- ed time it was not servea, ana ine gin fled. ' She was traced to Cambridge but disap peared before the officers arrived. The story hail, been kent-auiet bv the officers, who hone! to cantnre her.

Mike Kelly'-i salary of $4,300 will, it is said, suffer no reduction next year. Tmc KWninrr and dining-room cars of tbe Detroit-St Louis combination cost $32,000 for the trip. Those twentv-two games in succession that Bennett caught did much to give the Detroit club the pennant .: . The St. Louis club last year placed to its credit the highest number of champion vic tories ever won by any club, namely, 93. Thr Northwestern League was tbe only minor league in the country that retained its original membership intact throughout the season. iThe shortest game on record for 17 was that played at Oshkosh, September 10, be tween the Oshkosh and Eau Claire teams, viz., lh. 8m. The Detroit League champions easily showed their superiority over the St Louis American Association champions, in tbe se ries of games for the world's championship. President Nimick. of tbe Pittsburg Base ball (Club, has been in Chicago trying to transfer Anson, the Chicago first baseman and captain, to his team. It is said be offered $15,ft i0 for the player named, anl that Presi dent SpauWing demanded fJS.OOQ. The championship season of all the Leagues, both great and small, is now ended.

Ieclare Their - - , Independenc?. The dissenters from the action taken at the Minneapolis convention have declared open war with the executive board of the Kights of Labolyand have issued their declaration of independence. On returning from the convention about thirty-five delegates, rep resenting fifteen states, stopped in Chicago and determined to bring about a reorganiza tion of the order. They elected a pro visional committee, five members, cf which Charles F. Seib was made secretary. A long com munication was drafted at Secretary Seib's office and forwarded in circular form to the Knights of Labor all over this country. It declares that it is "Our duty to reorganize the Order of the Knights of Labor on a basis which will secure tbe autonomy of the trades and the sovereignty of the districts in all pertaining to their trade and local affairs, and to prevent it from being used in the future as a machine to fill the coffers of de signing and unscrupulous men, as it is by those now in power. We afiir u the follow ing to be the reasons that have compiled this serious action on our part: The general office has become a luxurious haunt for men whose chief aim is to benefit self, pecuniarily and otherwise, and is no longer the Jerusalem I of the humble and honest Knight. There has been for more t oan a year, beginning prior to tho Richmond session, an under standing, which, for lack of a better word, we will call a conspiracy, for the purpose of holding the salaried positions, elective aud appointive, in and under the General As sembly. ' This conspiracy has used the secret channels and the funds of the order to manufacture sentiment for certain members and against others. Certain persons, some times called 'general lecturers 'general organizers,' 'general instructors' and general many other things, have teen paid extrava gant sums, both as wages and expenses, when their chief work was to 'fix' certain districts. The lobbyists of railroad corpora tions would torn green -ith envy did they know the superlative excellence attained by these bloodsuckers of the Knights of Labor. D. strict and local assemblies have been sus pended or exp. lied and deprived of a vo 7 .

The records of the General As sembly have been fixed and doctored so as to rul out or admit, as the caso might he, General Assembly representatives. Many thousands of dollars of tho order's funds l ave been illegally expended. Extravagant hotel bills contracted by the families of general officers h ve been paid out of the order's funds, as have family laundry and bar bills. Funds have been donated and loaned to officers and their families and friends for their own personal use. The boycofi has been used to injure the labor pr ss, union es tablishments and tho products of Knights of Labor and union labor for the sole purpose of 'downing' workingmen and women who could not be used by the conspirators. In spite of the decrease of membership, the have increased the annual expenditures of the general officers to half a million dollars. There is no itemized account or receipts to expenditures issued either quarterly, as had formerly been the custom, or to th0 General Assembly. HURLED TO DEATH. Two Sisters Killed by a Fast Express Train. When the engine of the fast express of the Pennsylvania Railroad thundered into the d pot at Lancaster, Pa, the pilot was spat- Ltered with blood. Shortly before the train w as due, and when Rank's station, eight miles away had been, reached, the engineer saw a whit3 covered farmer's wagon ahead. A freight train had . just passed, and the .wagon having stopped for it, proceeded to cross, the occupants not hearing the fast ex press on account of the noise of the freight, The whistle was sounded, the air brakes were promptly applied, but in an instant the train was at the crossing, tho engine struck the wagon and horse and hurled them high in the air. Tho forms of two women were hurled down an embankment, where their mangled bodies were found. They were s sters, married to brothers, and their names were Mrs. Jacob Stoltzfus, of Lea cock township, and Mrs. Barbara Stoltzfus, who was visiting from Kans .s. They are middle aged ladies, and stand high in the peculiar religious sect to which they belong. They were returning home in the wagon f rqm the city. - Mrs. Stoltzfus was hurl d fifty yards and killed instantly. Her sister died in a few minutes after being picked up. ; . POLITICS IN A CONVENT.

A special dispatch from ;Wawolla, Indian Territory, pays: "OnTJUV v a desperate fight took place on theJnorf . fork of the Ar. kansas River bet wv o i Bmi I Trainer's gang of outlaws and a vi jilajKcorom-'ttca under the leadership of Hotari Henderson, a 8xtch half-brool, which followed them frora tDuck- worth's store,in the Creek Nation, on the occa sion of a raid there o: Wednesday. Thl ont law.flndin out the si as of the force which was following tbem, decided to risk an encounter, and made haste to reach the river pllfV where they cou'd find shelter behind trees and in ravines which line the banks on either 6ila In this they succeeded so well that when the vigilantes came up they were en tirely, for the time, at the mercy of two score of outlaws. Henderson then took hU men a short dts- tauce up the river where a fording placa could t found, crossed and to k up p.tionson the other side of .the stream from the out laws, and wherj his ni3ii were as well pro tected njs t nose ot l minor, i no river at this point is only about one hundred yards wide. and across this distance, from Thursday morning until Thursday ni?ht, bullets were ungmg on their mission or death. When the vigilantes had succeeded in ob taining tbh position they found they had tost three men and two m ire were seriouslv wounded. As Tra'ner found the enemy in his rear on the oppoute or tho river, he sent half of his men down the stream to cross and come up on tho ot ier tide, lighting under cover of the trees. In this they were sur prised by the a yvuors, who met them half way and opened f.re upon them, checking their course and driving them panic-stricken and precipitately back. In endeavoring to rally his men. Bill Chuet wan killed, and be fore the river could be reached an l forded John Leech, one of tho robber gan was shot on n s horse, but not killed. The fight from this on was continue ! across the stream, the bankaof which were lined at distances of about live rods apart with sharp shooters. No sooner was a head, arm or any part oi a bony vis u e on either side than a leaden bullet was seeking to End a lodgment therein. As Thursday night wan coming on. Hen derson called his men in for consultation, when it was found that of his force eight were killed and eight hnd received serious though not fatal wounds. The force - was in th:s way rlu'ed one half, and it was thought best to remove the wounded here and go back homeland stir up reinforcements, ihe dead were buried and tha wounded, it WAR found nffor riroaainop i their wounds, were able to return home with the rest of the party. It is thought as many of the outlaws were killed as of lh3 pursuing party, though this will never bo known. The following is a list of the killed: James Saunders, Oaks, Cherokee Nation, shot through head; F. Fourmill, Garfield, Cherokee Nation, shot through the body; Redrock Chapin, Lukfia, Choctaw Nation, shot in five places; Bushy Sakaswa, Patrick, Cherokee Nation, phot through body; Chief Parr, Oaks, Chero'tee Nation, shot in the head; Samuel H. Elleter, Eufaula, Creek Nation, shot twice in boly; Walter Ains worth, ranger, from near Mackogee; Dar ling Price, settler, from near Camp Creek, Cherokee Nation. Henry Ayres, a well-to-do man from Chero kee Nation, who was one of the party with Henderson, says tjhat Bud Trainer was killed during the fight He is of opinion that not lea than fifteen were killed outright upon bct'a sides, and thinks one-half the outlaws who were not killed were wounded. It is by no means certain that another party will be organized to hunt down the outlaws, as it is thought the severe lesson they have liecn taught will tend to drive them from the Ter ritory, or at least to put a quietus on their lawlessness.

I Dr. Guthrie. Col Manlfet. Do any ask of the divlno love! Iet them loom of it in the Saviour's love, as He kneeW at the grave of Iazarus; as lie weeps over Jerusalem; as He blesses little children; ni He heals tbe sick or comforts the sorrowful; as He soothe the dying malefactor on th" cross, would we know ot the diviuo lor- givencss? It is here in this one sweet sen tence1 of mercy: "Neither do I condemn thee; go and sin no more." Would we know of the divine activity I It is all revealed in the sleepless nights of preparation ieiit alone on the mountains in prayer; the day devoted to teaching and healing; tho tireless erralndsof mercy from village to village. Would we know of the divino patience and endurance! We have but to wat h the calm, quiet way in which He meets His tietrayer and the company that take Him; the falsi accusations to which He listens in silence; tb ridicule, the taunts, the blows dealt by savage hands, the cowardice of Pilate, tha scourge, tho thorn-crown, the cross. And so, we ask nt last, iV ould any know God the Infinite? We point to Hia humanity and say: "He who invited the weary ami the heavyi-lnden to His breowt; He whom even the winds and seas obeyed; Ho who declared Himself 'tho Way, the Truth, and the Life;' He whose spirit has inspired, comforted, ay, saved the struggling souls of men.

Although the path up tho mountain ( was iaved. and tho tecper awvnts were f ur nisbed with steps, still it was a tedious climb, even for one with natural feet The wonder grew upon us how the women, with llieir lit tle bandaged stubs, could not only climb tbe mountain, but walk miles to reach it Af we nca red the place we were twset by vender of incense sticks, urging us to buy. Arriving at a level Kpnee, about half war up th mountain, we found rows of wretched straw huts on either side of the path leading to a building scarcely more than a shed, contain- ' ing one large room. In it were a few small, dilapidated idols, before which theiopl burnt incense sticks ami mado pros trations. A desire to worship was by no means the only motive that lrought these eager throngs hither. They had come to make preparation for ' death. And the prefaratioti considered nceemary wan nut purity of h'-nrt and ' life, but money. Thntu multitudes had left their homes and busy pursuits to eoine hither for the special pur pose of buyingoills of credit to be burnt at death in order to anrure a large um of mon-. ey in the next world.
