NEWS OBSERVATIONS.
I seems from the revelations being
made in the government printing office
that Mr. Rounds was anything bui
iqnare in hia dealings with Uncle Sam.
It is said that the tory government
of England, in view of the possible bad
effect of a strict enforcement of the
fights of landlords, has; issued private
instructions to them not to press their
claims in oases where extreme hardship'
would result.
Public printer Benedict's axe has
fallen again, and with it the heads of
fifty-three employees in his office. He
will reduce the monthly expenses in the
public printing office by $57,000 with
out delay. This is the sort of reform
(h.at means something. !

Cremation5, now become so popular
in some parts of the world, may have
to give way to oementation the process
by which a corpse is converted into a
(olid statue that may be kept in the
farlor, the garret, or the coal shed, o
oaned to an art eallerv. It is rather
hard on the newly-formed cremation
companies. 5
The British association proposes to
abandon the idea of beating the Ameri

; The use of the 8arz canal ir
moving the tea crop from Chiiia ?r
America. is tepidly being abandoned for
the swifter means afforded by our trantr
continental railways. In 1884 the bull
of the shipments were via the Suez canal.
Ia 1885 the shipments by that route t
America were bat 9,254,197 pounds,

Utto Banmann, the receiving teller
of the Union Dime Saviogs bank; New
York, is the latest recruit to the grand
army of defaulters and embezzlers. The
sum of his embtxzlement lie 819,152, test
enough to .embarrass the bank,! it is :
true, but stiU enough to cover his rame
with infamy and send him to prison if
he is captuieu before he gets to Cant da.
Curiously enough, he does not seem to
have speculated, nor to have lived be
yond his means, nor dots it appear that
there was a woman in the ease for whom
the money was stolen. In private lift
yit. Baumann was retiring and : affec
tionate, caring for his wife and two
children faithlully and well. The tm-
beiilement, however, seems to have
been systematic and was detected by the
paying telier, whose suspicions were
aroused by the discovery of a credit
eutry in Baumann's handwriting. His
wife is left without any means of sup
port and is well nigh dir tracted over her
husband's disgrace. !
The French soientifio journal La
Nature describes and illustrates a ma
chine for making a product which is
coming into tavor in various different
employments under the name of wood
wool. As its name implies, this mater
ial is simply wood ozi into such fine
shavings thit it answers many of the
purposes to which wool if commonly ap
plied. Although it was at first in
tended meiely as a packing material it
was soon found that it had a much more
extended field of usefulness. It is em
ployed for stuffing mattresses, as bed
ding for cattle, for the filtration of
liquids, etc. It is elastic like horse hair
and is beautifully clean inj use. The wood
used by prefer enoe is Riga fir, and the
machine will produce, without any
necessity for skilled labor, more than
1,500 pounds of "wool 'per day of ten
hours.
Fashion seems to tend more and
more to specialties, ihe toilet tor
the drawing-room does not in the
least resemble the dress suitable for
the street, and the woman who con
founds the two finds herself continually
at varianoe with the canons of good
taste and elegance, whioh happily pre
vail just now. ihe extreme caprice, the
originality, and the luxury of home and
drawing room toiLets are counter
poised by the extreme sobriety aid
studied simplicity oi tnose designed tor
the promenade, and the preeminently
fashionable model for thee is a tailor-
made gown of woolen, more or less
light and soft, according to the require
ments of the season. Among what are.
known as demi-season toilets in Paris
are those made of camel's hair trimmed
with figured cashmere in Persian or In
dian designs. Silk, velvet, broche, and
richly brocaded satins are reserved
mostly for full-dress occasions, and in
demi-totleU are also noted those com
posed of two different fabrics, one of
these being almost invariably a striped
material. ' j

RBNC1 0? NXQRO DKLXQATK FARRXLL.
Richmond, Va., Oot. 6. Although
today was the third day of the conven
tion its members were not ready to be
gin the actual work: they had come to
do. There still remained to be settled
the question of seating eight or ten del
egates whose cases, the committee on
credentials has referred to the conven
tion. Throughout the oity today the
principal topic of discussion was the ad
mission of the colored delegate, Farrell,
to a seat in the orchestra circle in the
Academy of Musio, section of the audito
rium hitherto sacredly guarded from the
intrusion of all persons of his race.
The general feeling among Virginians
here is one of bitter resentment and
they regard the delegates from district
assembly No. 49 with anything but
friendly feeling. It is said that a ma
jority of local Knights are much pro
voked at the action of their visiting
brothers and it was reported that a few
Knights living ,here declared their in
tention of abandoning the order and
joining the "Law and Order Loague,"
organized here in sworn opposition to
the Knights of Labor.
At noon a recess ws taken until 2
o'clock. Po wderly announced to the rep
resentatives of the press that he had
nothing to communicate to them. Some
secret business had been transacted, but
of course he cozld say nothing as to its
nature. The morning .session was
maii:)y devoted, he said, to the consid
eration of the report of the committee
n credentials, which has not been
finally aoted upon. Delegates are . un
usually reticent and such statements as
an be elicited by inquiry are contradic
tory. It seems safe, however, to say
that whatever action has been taken by
the credentials committee in the case of
d 6 nct 49 and the Brooklyn delegates
is unfavorable to the latter The feel
ing bf the majority of delegates outside
of New York is in favor of Brooklyn.
It now seems possible that the third
day's session may end jwith the conven
tion still unorganized.!
The afternoon session, beginning at 2
o'clock, lasted nearly an hour beyond
the regular time for adjournment, 6
o'clock, tfffiatters then stood about
where they were this; morning. Pow
derly, through whom the official news of
proceedings was given to the press, told
the reporters he had nothing in the way
of news to give them, j The convention,
he said, was still considering the report
of the committee on credentials and
had not yet acted - on it. This means
that the fight over the , admission of
eight or ten delegates, whom the eetnmt-
tee referred to the convention, is still in
Progress. wno cnese delegates are,
'owderly and other leading Knights
still refuse to say. The burden of ru
mor. I however, seems to favor state
ments that they are three Brooklyn del
egates, Brown, Dotb and Miller, of the
Brooklyn M on tank association ; Morn-
fii r it
son, oi district sistmDiy izo, oi new
York, and six St. Lous delegates claim
ing to be elected instead of six raid to
ba Turner men. The delegates from
district assembly 49, according to some
unofficial reports, ara fighting Morrison
and the Brooklyn men, tooth and nail,
but the long eontinuanoe of the battle
shows that the opposition is fully as de
termined as they, l here can be no
doubt of the fact that the battle is a bitter
one. This afternoon the voices of opposing
delegate could be heard in the street
outside armory hall, as they argued the
questions at issue. Until this discus
sion is ended the convention is at a
standstill and no work can be done.
Meanwhile many delegates here jure
growing impatient at the prolongation
of the contest and are anxious to get to
the work they eame here to accomplish.
The contest will be resumed tomorrow
morning and no one seems even abVn
guess how lone it will be before tx -convention
will organize and begin bus
iness. The Prealdeat Invited to Alabama.

PeitADSLPHiA, Pa., Sept. 6. Some
excitement existed throughout Frank
ford to-day owing to a shut-down of the
mills in that vicinity, and a large force
of patrolmen from different distrusts
was scattered around the section where
the mills' were looated, to prevent
trouble. The shut-down was in accord
ance with an order issued by a commit
tee of the Philadelphia manufacturers'
association, to whion the consideration
of tho demands pf strikers in the mills of
Troth & Co. had been submitted. These
strikers had been given notioe that if
they returned to work up to the hour of
closing yesterday, a lock-out would not
occur. The men refused to accept the
offer, and the shut-down followed. The
demands of the strikers at Troth's mills
are that Robert McGowan, the superin
tendent, be discharged, along with all
non union men now, employed; the start
ing up of a section of looms whioh were
stopped, through lack of orders; the re
instatement of all strikers in a body,
and a general advance in wages amount
ing to nine per- cent. The mills whioh
shut down are the Armingo, which em
ployed 100 hands; Jones', which employ
ed 300; Clark & O'Neill, 50 ; Edward
T, Garbed, 30; Charles J. Milne, 100;
R. Dillis, 60; Jams Pallock, 90; Rid

Henry ! Dale. 40; William P. Troth,
who was working his mills with thirteen
non-UTiionis: binii andanumberof mill
ownersj whose employes ranged from
ten to twenty. The firms of Milne &
Co. and W hi taker & Co. do not be
long to the manufacturers' association,
but both have expressed their willing
ness to join the other manufacturers in
the lock-out.

Baltimorj, Md., Octvker6. A spe

ble accident occurred tt Chester, Sunday
night, by which two children and an old
woman were roasted alive. Dave tlenry
went with his wife to a camp-meeting,
leaving their house And two children in
charge of Caroline Berry Upon the re
turn of the parents they found the house
in flames and heard the screaming of
their children upon the inside. Un
successful attempts were made to save
them. The charred bodies were recov

Caroline Btrry went to sleep while
smoking and the bed clothes caught from
her pipe. :

NiwYoba, Oct. 6. The bulls and
bears of Wall street stopped their usual
peril rmanoe today when lists were hung
up in the stock exchange for the signa
tures of those who Advocated the nomi
nation of J. Edward Simmons for mayor.
The brokers gave a mighty cheer and
began to sign the lists. In two hours'
time two-thirds of the members had
ledged themselves to vote for him.
'he aggregate capital represented was
nearly A billion of dollars. Edward O.
Fox, the; broker who initiated the
movement, said that Simmons would be
the candidate of capital against labor
and socialism; that the business men of
New York would not allow socialism to
rule this city. Similar iitts will be
posted in the other Exchanges,
Simmons was president of the stock ex
change last year and is grand master of
Masonry in the State of New York.
He is a democrat, but this movement is

wreck of the steamer
suited latt night, fro:
one of the boiler flue
pent its force directly
backwards into
he engine room and the crew and
roustabouts suffered from being scalded
by escaping steam. Eleven of the latter
were so terribly burned that huge scales
of flesh peeled from their bodies. 8:x of
them have died. The register of passen
gers was lost with the
vessel and it is
drowned or killed
thought that some were
whose bodies have not
been recovered.
The pilot, taking advantage of its head
ing, turned the boat toward the shore,
but the names caused him to abandon
his post before the gang-plank could be
owered. After he left his poet the
current turned the boat's bow out into
the river again, and her stern swung to
the bank, which afforded a means of
escare for several who were at that end
of the boat. The pilot and one cabin
boy thus got ashore without injuries or
even a wet foot. The gang plank was
owered and many were placed upon it,
mostly women and children, who would
have been saved had not the smoke
stack fallen squarely across it, and All
who were not killed by it were drowned.
Capt. Thompson, after doing all in his
power to save the passengers and crew,
jumped overboard and swam ashore, the
boat having by this time drifted fully
200 yards out into the river. It drifted
to the Illinois shore and sank, the only
thing visible at present being the
wheels. Lew. r$raham, the second
olerk, tells the following story of the
disaster: "We had landed and were
nnlling out and I walked up stairs and
into my room, when I heard a small ex
plosion, like that of a sky-rocket, and
opened a door to the oabin and saw
steam coming into it from the barber;
hop. I saw ladies in their cabin and
called to them to oome forward. I
saw fire coming from under the
boiler deck And 1 took the ladies
forward to the boiler deck and started
down stairs, when pilot tfeareau gave
life preservers to them, telling them all
to put them on immediately. . 1 ordcreo
the gang; plank thrown overboard, which
was promptly done, and we put all the
ladies on the plank. The rigging broke
and the plank swung out. Mrs. L
Seimers jumped into! my arms and 1
landed her on the plank, while I wa6
thrown into tbe river! myself. I swan.
alongside the plank and made the men
fet off, so it would bear up the ladies,
swam to a ledge of rocks and crawled
ashore. A man from Illinois, with a
skiff, took people off j,he stage and also
saved a number that were swimming. He
did some noble work.
J. J. Hanlon,
second pilot, sayt : "The steamer Eigle
was near us when the

without much trouble
understand her captain did not care to
render any assistance. Adolphus Er

the captain ordered film not to go near

pushed us ashore, not a single rerson
would have been injured, exoept from

There was again a boom in the oot ton
market yesterday. The receipts were
large and trading was active. The
streets presented a very lively appear
ance, and dealers of all kinds were on
the rash until a late hour in the after-nof-n.
Cotton picking never progressed so
rapidly in this section as it is now doing.
It was remarked yesterday that as fast
as the cotton opened it was picked out
and. pat u;on the market. The com
paratively high prices have had much to
do with this,
There is ur questionably a regular
boom in business in all departments.
Everybody feels the general influence of
this end there is a general knowledge
of tbe fact that the prospects at this time
of the year were never fairer. Sixty
thousand bales of ootton, it is now cal
culated, will be about the receipts, and

demands attention earlier.
Rain was expected yesterday morn

t would benrfit cotton, by developing
tbe top bolls, whioh in many cues need

be well filled with orders. The shoe
factories are running on full time and
increasing their working f tree, and the
clothing factories report business better

employment now to over 300 persons,
mainly women and girls. ' '
1 be ootton seed oil mills start up next
Monday and will not oease to run until
ate next spring. They will have greatly
enlarged facilities tor work And of course
their operations will be much more exten
sive than ever before. The mills take
rank with the finest in the South in
point of equipment. People who have
never seen the mills in operation will
be more than repaid by paying a visit to
them and witnessing the manufacture

Mr E. Libberman, General Agent Penn

j Philadelphia:
;Dbar Sir: As guardian of my daugh
ter, Mrsi Clara Blake, I am just in re
ceipt of the check of your company for
$630, ia payment of a long lapsed
policy, en whieh my daughter's late
husband,' John C. Blake, had paid pre
miums to the amount of $218.40. As none
of the family were awaro there was any
claim against the company on account of
this lapsed policy, I beg to express my
high appreciation of the liberality of
the company in making known the claim
and payipg this eun, and also of your
kirdtess and courtesy in arranging the
matter far my daugt-ter. This is a
practical evidenoe of 'the value of the
non-forfeitable feature of your company,
for Mr. Blake had lapsed policies in
other companies for which his family or
liis estate will reoeive nothing.
9 1 therefore will take pleasure in re
