I A resolution before we Metho dist divines of the New York and Newark conferences, put after an ad dress by Dr. McGlynn, spoke of him as a "Christian brother and minister with a call to a high duty." After a wordy squabble another resolution, polite but non-committal, was carried by a large majority. The Norfolk jackets' and trim- htting Garibaldi waists of red or blue qn's cloth are still very popularly orrhv tnnnir ladies. These have worn by young ladies. . These have the advantage of supplying the slight protection needed at this season, without the carrying about of an ex trawrap. New fall Eton jackets and coat are handsomely trimmed with braiding, galloon of silk cord, with shoulder ornaments and pendeloques for the front to correspond, or are stylishly finished with a single line of 6ilver warranted not to tarnish with wear. This bit of silver is far prettier and more elegant than fine showy silver braiding or embroidery in elab orate patterns, and shows simply be yond the tapering revers that reach down each, side of the front, from shoulder to hem and the edge or the collar and cuffs. Button to match are covered with the cloth, with a tiny star of silver at the top. This silver finish is particularly effective upon coats of dark blue Scotch broad cloth. Covert coats in tan, fawn and ecru are : still fashionable, but the newer jackets in plain dark, colors are generally preferred. Sew York World. A sensation is soon forgotten in New York, and the mere ' announce ment of the death of Mrs. William Williams Tuesday night at the home of her niece, in East 119th street, probably ; recalled to but very few people one of the most famous mur der trials that ever took place in this country. : The Dr. Burdell murder startled New York on the morning of January 31, 1857. The doctor was a fashionable dentist of considerable practice and property, living in Bond street, near Broadway. : A widow named Cunningham (afterwards Mrs. William Williams) was his house keeper. BurdeU's mysterious murder never was solved. He was killed in the hall of his house, late at night or very early in the morning, probably by one or two men who had followed him in. Mrs. uunningnam was sus pected of the murder, as ; were other inmates of the house, but nothing was proven against any of, them. The Cunningham story owes its interest to the effort on the part of this wo man to prove that she wafl married to Dr. BurdelL and was a consequent claimant to at least: a portion of his property. To strengthen her claim, or rather to se cure the entire property, estimated at from $75,000 to $150jOO0, she pro duced a posthumous heir. In the subsequent trial, to substantiate the claims of this supposititious heir, A. Oakey Hall, who was then district at torney, led up to the confession on the part of a witness, (whom Mrs Cunningham supposed to be her wit ness,, but who was Hall's witness) that the child was procured at an or phan asylum, was introduced into the house by the witness, and that the in troduction was enected at the in stance and through the assistance of A. Oakey Hall himself. Mr. Hall was aware that Mrs Cunningham wanted to produce a spurious heir to the Burdell estate, and helped her out in the plan unknown to herself for the sake of confounding her in court: The strategy) worked to a charm, and the widow fainted in the court-room This was a sharp, shrewd bit of prac tice that gained much credit for the then young lawyer, Oakey Hall, and which drove Mrs. Cunningham out of co irt and but of the city; From here 6he went with her two grown-up daughters to California, and was there married to William Williams, a mine owner of means. She has been quite los Bight of for years, and her memory is revived only by the news of her death in this cit j at the ad- vanced age of seventy-eight years. DEEP RED. AN ANARCHISTIC CIRCULAR IN CHICAGO. A.DDKESSED TO THE WOBKINOMEN OF THE COUNTKY AND; VILIFYINO OFFICEBS CONCERNED IN THE APPREHEN SION AND TRIAL OF "THE CONDEMNED SEVEN i OTI1ER NEWS WIRE. BY Chicago, Sept. 21. A circular Of deep red anarchistic tendencies is being circulated in Chicago. It lis headed "To the Workingmen of tne United States of North America" and denounces the action of the Supreme Court in upholding the decision of the lower court in the anarchists cases, The circular refers to .(Japt Bonfield as 4 "the notorious police bandit" and vilifies Judge Gary with out stint. The circular is signed "The Federation of Trade Unions" and was printed in New York. Po lice Captain O'Donnell telephoned this morning all over the cityto have any persons found distributing the circular arrested. Federal Treasury Matters. Washington, Sept. 21. The light offerings of bonds today was a disa greeable surprise to the Treasury offi cials. Acting ; Secretary Thompson said that while the amount of. bonds offered was not as large as he had ex pected, still the prices asked were generally reasonable. Touching the future policy of the department, with reference to bond purchases, Secre tary Thompson said that it would be improper to make any statement in advance. If there should be a change in the present policy it would be known only by the action of the Treasury and not by means of any preliminary statement of intentions. For this reason he declined to say whether it was his intention to ex tend the present system of purchases to the four per cent bonds or to ask proposals for selling a lump sum of ten or fifteen million four and one half per cents to the eroveroment to supply the requirements of the sink ing fund. These and all other plans that had been suggested for the re lief 'of the money market had,he said, been carefully considered, but no de- cision had. yet been reached. When it is, it will, as already stated, be an nounced to the public only through the action of the department. Before and after today's purchases the acting ecuHtofcaay &uxiultel -with th Presi dent, who is taking an active interest in the financial situation. A Wall street paper called the Indicator pub lishes a number of questions, which it calls upon Acting Secretary Thomp son of the .treasury department to answer, implying thst the Secretary has some! connection, with A. E. Bateman, of New York, of the I firm of Green & Bateman, which is prominently associated with the bear campaign, and that the latter has quietly dictated the pur chase of bonds, &c. While the charge is indirect, it is made in a co vert way that seems to mean a great deal- Secretary Thompson, when spoken to by a Star reporter on the subject, replied that he didn't know Bateman, and had never seen him in his life that he was aware of. Washington Notes. Washington, :D. C, Sept. 21. The total offerings of bonds to the treas ury for purchase today were $1,370, 300. The total purchases were $1,065, 300 at prices ranging from 107.90 to 108.

New LlRht on the Killing ol the Woolfollt Family. An Atlanta special says: Tom Wool- folk, now in the Atlanta jail, charged with the murder of the nice members of his family, may not be guilty after all. There have been rumors ever since the tragedy that others than Tom were concerned in it. Frank Walker , Woolfolk'a attorney, dis guised as a painter, visited the scene of the murder and gained, information which made it certain to him that a negro was guilty of the crime. Today s vonstaution contained a special from Canton stating that Jack Dubose, a negro of suspicious looks and demeanor, had' been arretted by W. A. Kitchen, Sheriff of Cherokee County, and was held as an escaped convict. While confined in jail the negro said enough to warrant the ShArifF in notifying Col. Walker that he was of the vpimm. tiv it gro was concerned in the Woolfolk trage dy. This evening Col. Walker, went up and had a talk with the prisoner, and now expresses himself as feeling perfectly satisfied that the negro is the real murderer of . the Woolfolk family, orrrather, that he was con cerned in the wholesale killing. - The -names of three other negroes he also obtained in conversation with the prisoner. The negro admitted knowing who did the murders and promised to tell Col. 'Walker if he would promise to help 3um out. This Col. alker could not promise out right, but he hnaiJy succeeded in in ducing the negro to tell him who the three others were who were associa ted with him in the killing. These names agreed perfectly with those previously learrlji by him from other sources. l Col. Walker feels confident that the negro is the party who did the killin and expects to prove the facts beyon doubt. Certain it is that this negro knows enough to implicate others be sides Tom Woolfolk as the murderers of the Woolfolk family, whether he I implicates himself or clears Tom Woolfolk or not. At least this is Col. Walker's honest opinion. ' The negro is an escaped convict It is said he was sent to the chain gang for stealing an axe from Wool- foJk. At the time he swore ven geance upon the Woolfolk family. Col. Walker thinks the fellow got' it by killing the family while the others were robbing the house. He escaped from the chain gang several days be fore the killing and was in the neigh- borhood of the Woolfolk place at the time of the killing, but has not been there since. Col. Walker has stoutly denied Tom Woolfolk's guilt all the time. ! A Bull and a Donkey Fight and Die. A battle between a donkey and a bull, according to a story published in the 'Cincinnati Enquirer, is the latest diversion discovered by the citizens of Kenton r. O , Kenton county, Ky. Pole Harrison had a little "cedar head" bull which another man wagered his dnkey could whip inside of twenty minutes. The wager was a sorrel horse against $50. The battle was fought at 5a. m., on the 24th of August in the presence of a number of people. A red shirt was tied around the "donkey's neck in or der to incite the bull, but the donkey made for the bull first and bit him on the flank. The bull retaliated by butting the lack on the shoulder. The two brutes jrot mader and mader and fought furiouslv, the jack using his heels. Finally the bull's horn nenetrated the donkey's side, weaken ing the latter, but not so much but that 1 1 .1 I...J stsM,li 4-U...1. Imn lie uiuu enough to break two of the bull s ribs. Thus the battle waged until at the end of one hour i and twenty -five minutes both brutes sank to the ground dying. They were then shot. The oner of the i bull, got the $50. WHITE AND BLACK THE QUESTION OF SEPARATE SCHOOLS DISTURBING OHIO. FRICTION IN MANY PLACES SCHOOLS CLOSED INDEFINITELY AT SOME POINTS OTHER TELE GRAPHIC NEWS. Cincinnati, O., Sept. 21- -The op winter author- eration of the law of last which repealed the statute izing the establishment of separate schools for colored pupils is pro ducing friction in many places. At Oxford, Ohio, the colored pupils de serted their own school and applied for admission to the white school. A public meeting was held and the school board was asked to order the colored pupils to their own school. Ihe board complied with the request, and the colored people propose to apply for a mandamus. At Yellow Springs the school board has ordered the schools closed indefinitelv, or until the legislature can meet and take some action. At Ripley, Ohio, a suit in mandamus has been ordered to compel the school board to admit colored pupih?. an--an PROHIBITION in TENNESSEE Arousing the Greatest Inrit Through. out the State. Chattakooqa, Sept. 21. The prohi bition campaign, which is now at its height, is arousing the greatest in terest throughout the state, and is producing greater excitement than any election since the war. The state will vote on an amendment to the constitution prohibiting the sale and manufacture of spirituous, malt and vinous liquors. The election will occur on the 29th inst. The prohibi tionists are making a vigorous and aggressive campaign and have enlisted the aid and active co-operation of the leading prohibitionists of America. Perfect organization is formed and speeches are delivered daily. At nearlv every important town and city in the State preachers have taken the stump and tern perance women are speakhig from the hustings. The Woman -a Christian Temperance Union has actively joined in the canvass, and in every leading town ladies and children wear prohibition badges and attend all the meetings by thousands. The women in the large cities are making a house to house canvass, and dispatches to the Times indicate an intensity of feeling heretofore unparalleled. The anus are making a still hunt. Few epwwvbc ce.ling delivered bul' hard personal wort is being done. The politicians are beginning to participate, but are nearly equal ly divided oh the subject. Some of the leading Democrats have just taken the stump in opposition to the amendment. Of the daily press, four of the leading newspapers in the State are non-committal, two are pro nounced for the amendment and one is aggressively opposed to it. A ma jority of the weekly papers oppose it. The negroes seem to be concentrating in opposition, but the prohibitionists are now claiming one-third of the colored vote. Opinions vary on the result,' but the politicians predict a defeat of the measure. In some of the large cities women and children will be at the polls. Large placards bearing the words, "God Bless our Homes, "Save the Mothers, Wives and Children," etc., will be conspicu ously displayed on election day at all the leading voting precincts in the State. ii aanM--t- m The Irish Situation. Dublin, Sept. 21. The Freemarta Journal says that the localities in Ireland proclaimed yesterday by the government are those in which the most sweeping evictions have taken placp, and it argues that these locali ties have been selected because the landlords are losing the fight they alone wantonly provoked. Lynching or a Charlotte Negro. Charlotte Chronicle. Monroe Johnston, the negro who was lynched near Leeds, Alabama, last Monday, was a former Pesident of Charlotte, and is well remembered by the police here, lie frequently gave the Charlotte police trouble and was shot at by them on several occasions. several days ago, Johnston was ar rested in Atlanta upon suspicion of being the person who killed Mrs. Jack foster, near Leeds, Ala. He was afterwards identified, and on Sat urday afternoon was taken away by a Birmingham ofhcial. The report comes that when the train reached Leeds it was signalled to stop, and mob of masked men boarded the train, and taking the prisoner, to walnut tree, j hung him up by the neck, end thei? riddled his body with bullets. Johnston confessed his guilt. Johnston's partner in the crime was shot and killed near Leeds about ten days ago. Distressing Abseut-Mludedness. From Harper's Tribune.

The Official Statement of .Their Plot. Mad Ont by the Illinois Supreme Court. Clncjigo Triburie. The bomb prefaces the iudy-es" masterly statement; it is shown that was exactly like other bombs made by Lingg: that he and others made these bombs; that they carried them about with them; that Lingg intend 1 .... ed to throw one of them into a r& trol waerom: that thA'Vmmb wWli killed Deganas made by Lipgg. Ihen the judges pass to the .subject 01 mating these bombs; they estab lish the existence of the Internation als, showing that organization's mur derous purposes, its bureaus Of in formation, i ts division into armed and unarmed gioups, and the membership therein of i;he condemned anarchists. The court then shows that these men were the leaders of the organi zation; that they shaped its policy: that for two years' nrevious to the massacre thev had nersistentlv urrd I the members of the -organization, as - o well as workingmen generally, that they should arm themselves with bombs, rifles arid revolvers, and use the same against poliee and militia. 3 'he court cites from speeches ol these leaders and proves from the citations that May 1 had been decided upon as the day for an uprising;; that they prepared for it by purchasing arms and other mate rials; that they commissioned Lingi to make bombs; that he did ms&e them; that the bomb exploded at the Haymarket was made by him in furth erance of 1 he conspiracy. Coming to the massacre itself, they show that after the riot at McCor mick's took place Monday, May 3, Spies issued his Revenge Circular; that in the evening certain of the con spirators met and perfected their plans; thai at that meeting it was agreed upon Engel's suggestion that a bomb should be thrown into each police station and then the po licemen should be shot down as they came but, but this part of the conspiracy had to be modified for sufficient reasons; that the publica- tion of thd word "Kuhe m the A.r- beiter-Zeitifng should be the signal for the attack; that a mass meeting of armed men should be held m the Haymarke on the next evening, as trouble was expected j and that a committee should be formed to have charge of, this meeting, to call the armed gro ups together by the signal word, and report to them when the conflict with the police occurred. Not content with thus estabUshing the conspiracy and the death of officer Degan as a part of its execution the Judges investigate the conduct of each of the defendants separately and eaders of the consuiracv bevond all question. THE WAY SOCIALISTS TALK. Desperate Language in Regard to theCttn- dentned Anarchists. From the New York Times. 19th. In a dirty, dusty, and dimly light" ed apartment at 16 Clinton-place, last evening, there was as fine a rep resentation of men and women who are dissatisfied with modern society as any body of socialists, anarchists, and communists that ever met in this or any other city to give free vent to their vaporipgs. A hairy, spectacled man caused a sensation and a chorus of groans by reading what purported to be a wail from Parsons, one , of the "martyrs,' as the condemned Chicago murderers are called by their sympa thizers. A bright, beardless ; youth ed a discussion on socialism, during which he truthfully declared that the modern newspaper is the greatuest factor in the social system. A yuong man spoke of the seven condemned men in Chicago as "our brethren and comrades,' and shouted "Long live the man who did throw the bomb in Haymarket square!'' For this the patriot was applauded. ; One of the most sensible speakers of the evening was a Frenchman, who confined himself strictly to the topic presented, but an old : man, with a forehead like a section of an overturned flat bottom bowl, got up and deciarea mat sucnsiun as me Frenchman uttered was the veriest kind of riot and garbage. The old man, who came from Brooklyn, said further that nature was such a tangle of weeds that he couldn't make any law 1 or order or system put of it. He declared he was opposed to society every time. "On the surface," he said, "I appear humorous, but un derneath my exterior you will find the elements of a grim tragedy. Mnder certain conditions I would give Judge Gary, of Chicago, some thing he wouldn't like. Colleges send out professional thieves, and men who hang their brethren be cause the; r protest. A man who cOuld edit a Ch icago paper would kill his mother, a ad one who would write for Chicago papers would steal pennies from a d ;ad man's eyes. I am para lyzed when I think of the crime that is going to be committed in Chicago. It will be worse than the crucifixion. Take my birthright of free speech away and I don't want tojlive. To save our comrades I would tire a city: I would do anything." Sentiment versus Reality,. From Harpf Bazar.
