It is thought America will have to send $5,000,000 of food to the Irish before the winter ends. When Fat Tom told the people in his Boston talk that the present House had reduced taxation $50,000,000 he was in--deed mightily cavorting and as far away from facts as he could go. Hero is an Announcement in the Memphis Appeal: "A gentleman in Cincinnati wanted a correction' from a reporter, and he got it. He was a society man and his funeral was largely attended." Governor Gordon says of the 332 members of the Federal House only one favors the Dub-Treasury bill. In thc Senate of eighty-four members not one (favored it. A bad showing for the bill.V ; For the South an important success ful experiment .-was recently made at Chattanooga. Steel was cast. It had been thought that to accomplish this was impossible, because of the appear ance of too much phosphorous in the metal used. Ex-Senator Norwood challenges Gov ernor Gordon to a canvass. Governor Gordon says he will accept if Mr. Nor wood will announce himself as a candi date for the Senate. That looks right. It would prove a very able, a very spir ited and a very interesting canvass. When the Rads gerrymandered In diana in 1872, they gave nine members of the House to 204,561 votes, but to 218,288 Democratic votes they gave but four members. This they regarded as fair and just. But how they do squeal under the application of something similar under Democratic gerrymandering.

BKItLIN Sf-pt. CorYRlGHT A grand parade of ' the troops engaged in the array manoeuvres was. held this morning near Kvhols, in presence of Ktnperors William and PVancis Joseph, the King of Saxony, Chancellor von Capri v) and Count" Kalnoky. At the conclusion of the parade Emperor William gathered the ollicers in a group and. addressed them, commend ing their elTorts in the field. He thank ed Emperor Francis Joseph and the King of Saxony for attending the manoeuvres, and said he hoped what thcy'bad seen had convinced them that the army remained as efficient under tiis leadership as it was under that of Emperor William I, thus furnishing a guarantee of thejontinued solidity and strength of the brotherhood of arms. He then called for cheers for the Aus trian Emperor' which were enthusias tically given by the officers. Emperor Francis Jo&eph in his response said he was proud of having an ally in corn mand of such troops. .The whole ope rations hjui given him special grati fication.; On leaving the field the Koyal .party drove to Liegnitz. The route was lined with local associations and the populace in festal dress. After taking luncheon at the castle, the party pro ceeded to; the railway station where Emper.or William bade his guests fare well. There was much embracing and kissing. Emperor Francis Joseph being especially efi'ui ve towards Chancellor "von Caprivi, .-baking hands with him repeatedly and waving goodbyes. As the train -departed Emperor William hid the -cheering for Emperor Francis Joseph. Chancellor von Caprivi on his way back to the castle received a perpetual ovation. Emperor William, accompanied bv ouut von Waldersee, went by train to Kresau to visit Count; von Moltke with whom they dined. j The; prolonged conferences between von Caprivi and Kalnoky, which have been held daily, have been largely de voted to a discussion of a project of the Austrian premier for closer commer cial relations between tJermany and Austria. Van Caprivi has been in constant communication' with MigueL, the Prussian Minister of Finance. Semi-official information has been obtained to the effect that Austria has t'iken the initiative in proposing con- certedr. European action against the McKitiley bill. -ThXoe ports in Paris newspapers that France has been invited to join the Dfeibunu, do not tneau j a polfUcal league, but a league, whose object will be to take 'commercial reprisals against America. The reports, however,. were entirely premature. Chancellor von Caprivi evidently feeling himself in capable of deciding the complicated questions involved m a tariff war, de clined to commit Germany to any other nctionbefore consulting his colleagues It is probable that Kalnoky and Ilibot, French minister of foreign affairs, ex changed; views on the matter. Officials of the foreign office here deny that there jhave been any communications with the French Government on the subject since; overtures of Ilibot there on, were allowed to drop. Miguel is opposed to any measure tending to in crease the cost of necessary articles of food. San Feancisco, Sept. 20. The barkentine Tropic Bird arrived from Papeete. Tahiti,' yesterday with news that the French forces have subdued the natives of the Society islands and established protectorates over them. The warships Dubbardler, Champlaime and the gunboat ireand are at Pa peete with a combined naval and land force of -a ,000 men. At Ilaialer Island the only serious trouble occurred. The natives there hauled the French ilag down and the marines fired upon them. Upwards of 100 natives were Killed and a number of marines were injured. Natives were finally beaten off and the island was occupied by the French. Paris, Sept. 20. Eighty tulle man ufacturers at Calais, have locked out 5,000 of their employes for demanding higher wages.

It was the de ciding game between the Roanoke, Va., and Winston clubs and was wit nessed by a tremendous crowd. The game was lor the championship of the South and resulted, after ten innings, in favor of Winston by 4 to 3, every run being earned. FLUTIIEIS l'AUTICULAU.S j Of the Terrible llallroad DUatter at fihoe-' iiukervllle Twenty I'enoni Killed and ' Fifty Injared. Reading. Pa., Sept. 20. Tne horror of last night' wreck on the Heading railroad seemed even worse when day light dawned, the ?cene being simply1 ingntiui. up to 10 o clock twenty bodies of the dead had been taken from the wreck. The injured will num ber fiftv. The bodv of George It. Kcercher, general counsel of the Read ing, was taken out badly disfigured. He was drowned in five feet of water, in a Pullman car He was regarded aa very able lawyer. Philadelphia, Sept. 20. Accord ing to advices received at the main office in regard to the cause of the ca lamity, it appears that two coal trains lelt Perry. further up trie roaa, twelve minutes apart, and south bound. After proceeding some distance the tirst train of cars parted in the middle and as the rtar half stopped, the second train plunged into it and threw a heap of debris upon the passenger track. It was a minuje and a half after this collision and almost before the freight crew could turn around, that the ex press train came thundering along, plunged into the obstructions and went into the river. A melancholly coincidence is presented in he fact that the ill-fated train, the "Pottsville express, is tne same wnicn was wreck ed at Tuekerton on the down trip on the 2od of June last, and Engineer White and Fireman Templing who were killed in vestrday's disaster, filled places of the Heller brothers, Ee wis and George, engineer and fire man who lost their lives in the first mentioned accident. READING, Sept. 20. The body of an unknown man who was among victims of the disaster at Shoemakersville, and who was among the last to be taken out of the wreck, was identified as George Lambert, of Tamaqua. This places the number of fatalities at twenty-one. . All the wrecked cars were taken out of the river to-night. It is now believed that there are no more bodies in the water and that this ends the death list. The coroner subpoenaed a iury to day and will hold an inquest early next week. The tracks have been re paired and trains are now running as usual. Railroad officials here say that they will make a most searching investiga tion as to. the cause of the wreck. A number of the least injured who were in the Reading hospital, were sent to their homes to day. Republican Convention in Cumberland. Fayetteville, N. C, Sept. 20. Special. A convention of the Re publicans of Cumberland county to select delegates to the Congressional Convention of the Third District, to be held at Warsaw next Wednesday, met here to-day. After a stormy session of about two hours in which the friends of John S. Leary, colored, struggled in opposition to the well matured plans laid by the supporters of George. C. Scurlock, colored, to capture a list of delegates who would support the latter in the Congressional Convention, about one-half the delegates withdrew and held a little convention of their own, nominating a list of delegates. The result is two sets oi delegates win go from Cumberland,one in favor of Leary, toe otner ior tcuriocK. the conven tion was disgracefully inharmonious so much so that the white Radicals retired in disgust. Captain J. C. Blocker, a prominent Republican politician of Cumberland county, died at Cedar Creek yesterday and was buried here to-day. He was killed by overwork in taking the census. Supreme Lodge of Odd Fellowg. Topeka, Kansas, Sept. 20. The first annual convention of the order of Re beckah will be its last. When the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fel lows met yesterday morning the peti tion of Rebeckah for continuance was given a special hearing and by a prac tically unanimous vote a substitute was agreed upon which will do away with national conventions. The Grand Lodge began its evening session at 8 o'clock and did not adjourn until 1:30 o'clock this morning. The amendment to the constitution in re- I gard to the eligibility of saloon keep- ers was votea aown oy an overwhelm ing majority. 'All of the amendoents proposed to the constitution were voted down. It is not likely that any changes whatever will be made. Wtshlncton New. Washington, Sept. 20. Senator Blair to-day presented the following telegram which was signed by about fifty names: The undersigned, dele gates to the State Republican conven tion of South Carolina, respectfully re quest you to protect the interests of the colored farmers and laborers of the South by using your influence to defeat the Conger Lard bill Washington, Sept. 20. The tariff conferees to-day disposed of the paper, hemp, flax, and jnte schedules. The next formal conference will probably be Monday, the intervening lime to be devoted to private consultations among the Republican conferees. Embraced the Jewish Faith. Chicago, Sept. 20. Vere V. Hunt, a lawyer and politician of this city, has embraced the Jewish religion. The ceremony was performed last Sunday, and henceforth he will be known among the children of Judah as Israel Isaac Ostenheimer. He was educated for the Episcopal ministry and his Hebrew studies in that connection finally lei to his conversion. Hunt is the man who, during the Anarchist excitement in 18S4 and 18S5, attempted to get out a writ of hateus corpus for Louis Lingg after he had blown his head off in his cell at the county jail. He is to marry a Jewess. TRIIDIMIANT 3IINUIUTV. I DEMOCRATIC TACTICS COMPEL AN EARLY ADJOURNMENT The Senate 1'a Eighty-Flve Tension HHU In rifty Minute The House Left Without uorou, and the Speaker I'owerleM to Count One Colloquy lle tween Speaker and Members Was i LLNGTON,Se p t. 20. I Senate. I The Senate to-day resumed considers tion of thJ bill to relieve National banks. Senator Sherman expressed a wilnugness icat the oulv provision of the bill should be one to allow National banks to issue notes to the full value of the bonds deposited to secure circula tion. On Senator Cockreirs objection the bill was laid aside without action. Senator Cockrell favored the with- drawal of National bunk notes ai.d the substitution of greenback. In the course of his speech he said, that what had been seen, within a tew weeks had not been creditable to the country. The Secretary of the Treasury had been seen drawn on by speculators in stock and grain and New York, to pav every dollar of surplus in the Treasury, in order to save inera and to save their imaginary profits in speculation and gambling, i The following bills unobiected to on the calendar were, among others. passed: Senate bill extending the privileges oi free delivery of mails to towns having a population of o,000 or a gross postal revenue of $-3,000. The hour assigned to the calendar having expired,the Senate resumedcon sideration of thellouse bill to define and regulate the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States, and of substitutes therefor, reported by Senator Evarts from the Judiciary committee. An amendment offered by Senator Ingalls was adopted. It provides that appeals and writs of error may be taken and prosecuted from decisions of the United States court in the Indian Ter ritory to the Supreme court of the United States, on to the Circuit court of appeals in the Eighth circuit, in the same manner and under the same reg ulations as from a circuit or district court of the United States." Senator Dolnh offered an amend ment providing that the Circuit Court of Appeals, in cases in which iudg meut is made final; all have same ap pelate jurisdiction by writ of error or appeal, to review judgments, orders and decrees of Supreme courts of the several territories, as by this act they may have to review judgments, orders and decrees ol District and Circuit courts and for that purpose the several territories shall, by orders of the Su preme court to be made trom time to time, be assigned to a particular cir cuit. After much discussion the amend ment was agreed to. Senator rsniel offered an amend ment extending right of appeals to the Supreme court to all cases of conviction of felony and lo all cases where the matter in dispute is the right to per sonal liberty or right to the custody of a child. ' Without action on Senator Daniel's amenament tne Dill was laia asice in formally and the Private Pension bills on the calendar were taken up and passed eighty-five, of them in fifty minutes. Adjourned hocse of representatives. In the House to-day Mr. O'Ferrall objected to the approval of the journal. The Speaker counted only thirty-seven Democrats, not enough to order the yeas and nays on the question present. Tellers were demanded and theSpeaker then counted iorty-eight Democrats. Mr. Breckinridge You only counted thirty-seven before. The Speaker This is not the first time gentlemen on that side have ap peared and disappeared. Mr. Breckinridge And this is not the first time the count of the Chair has turned out to be incorrect. The Speaker The Chair desires to say that yesterday the count by tellers showed two less than the count by the Chair, and that was because of two members disappearing after the Speaker's count. Mr. Crisp There was a difference of six. The Speaker The gentleman is mis taken. ' Mr. Breckinridge The counting wiil ascertain the facts. The yeas and nays having been or dered, there was a Democratic exodus and in a moment the Democratic seats were well nigh deserted. The vote resulted; Yeas, 151; nays, 0. No quorum, and the House at 1 o'clock, adjourned. Bound to Have Their Show. Spokane Falls, Wash., Sept. 20. Two hundred Union carpenters struck work on the new Exposition building yesterday because the contractor found it necessary to 6uy some boycotted lumber. The citizens were indignant; consequently bankers, merchants, law yers, counciimen aud others pulled off their coats, and, hammer in band, went to the building and began laying shingles on the immense roof. The example has become contagious and scores of other leading citizens joined in the work to-day, including A. M. Cannon, the "Father of the City;" J. J. Brown, a millionaire banker and capitalist; W. H, Taylor, President of the Board of Trade; Mayor Clough and many others. A large force of non-union men was also placed at work this morn ing and the building will surely be completed in time for the opening on October 1st. TYeekly Bank Statement. New York, Sept. 20. The weekly bank statement shows: Reserve in crease, $5,212,125; loans decrease, $528,400; specie increase, $S,574,900; legal tenders decrease,$l,699,S00; depos its increase, $6,731,900; circulation de crease, $114,400. The banks now hold $1,918,200 in exess of the requirements of the 25 per cent. rule. HESrKRATE ITALIANS. dwindled by a Contractor They Ufoe t Allaw Other to Work d Klt a herlfTs to with ratal lUsult. C at LKTTs ! i VUG , Ky..St'pt. 20. A im port come f rem Iooisci, Ky., that on Twelve Fall creek near Wayne Court Houfc, Va., Friday, a terrible f.rht oc curred between the herir! p? and a gang of Italian railroad laborer, in which several Italian were UUed and a number wounded. Some wk ajo a contractor on the Norfolk and West ern railroad named Kccgh went aay leaving numerous creditor, afflon; the number being peveral Italians Several day ago a new contractor tooK possession of the aKndoml works and put a number of laborer to work in the cut formerly worked by the Italians. The Italians refused to allow a-nr one to work until they had received their pay for the work done, under Keogh, and proceeded to ou-t the new labor ers. Three timt", the new laborers were run out of the cut by the Italians who ui-ed stones, clubs, knives and pis tols. The contractor then applied to the court for protection and was furnished a poffo of about a dozen men heuled by the sheriff of Wayne Court Hou.-e. On Friday the sheriff made an attempt to arrest the Italians who fiercely rent ed.. - A combat resulted with forty or more Italians on one side armed with stones, knives and revolvers, and tin; sheriff's men on the other. The Italians fought from behind trees, stones and whatever would shield a man's body. The firing be came general and l.u-ted -ome minute. When the smoke of the battle cleared away several Italians were found in the last throes of death and several more were wounded. The sheriff's men es caped wiii a few severe brui;-es. About twenty Italians were arrested and Uik en to jail at Wayne Court Hou-e. The remainder escaped in the wood. The scene of the .light is forty or fifty miles from here and remote from railroad and telegraph communication. Wilson Notes. The mystery of the double murder of S. H. Whitley and son, which recently caused such a shook to this community. temains yet unsolved. No evideneejia been discovered connecting any par ticular person or rersons with the per petration of that cowardly crime. It is known that Whitley had many enemies, and nau nimseu commuveu t i 1 l 1 great wrongs to many persons, and that he was a violent, lawless person, whose sudden 4 taking off 7 was not unexpect ed. But the cowardly manner in which the deed was perpetrated was startling, shockinc. paralvzintr to the whole community. And it is earnestly hoped that, for tne sake of the reputation of the citizens of Wilson county abroad, as4i law-abiding people, every effort will be made to turret out the assassins, and brkg them to punishment. This has been a busy week in Wilson, and cotton and tobacco have about equally divided the attention of pro ducers and buyers. Both have been coming in daily, in large quantities, and have brought good prices. iVith out intending to "put on airs,T Wilson is claiming to bo the best market for these leading staples. It is ea-Jly ac cessible, and every facility needed for handling and working the weed will soon be afforded. Another large ware house, and several prize houses are un der contract to be built, and will soon be completed. Wilson Is on a "boom," some of our oldest and j most conserva tive citizens say, and they are begin ning to talk about water works and electric litrhts. A great many strangers have been in- Wilson during the last week, mauy oi them tobacco buyers and persons look ing out for tobacco lands, cotton specj- lators, and the festive drummer. who we "have always with us." The political outlook in this county is reerarded aa satisfactory at present, so far as the election of the nominees of the convention is conserned. Some dissatisfaction, it is said, exists as to the manner of their selection, and there are rumors of opposing candi dates for some of tho offices, but whether independent or Republican candidates will be in the field, remains to be seen. Uur schools were never In a more flourishing condition, and richly merit the largo patronage which they are receiving The educational facilities of Wilson are unsurpassed by any town in Eastern North Carolina, and in point of health iu claims are too well known to need repetition. Tne Messenger continues to gain friends here rapidly all who take it are delighted with it. and take pleasure in recommending it to their friends as the best of our State papers, and not behind any of our Southern dailies. All wish it the unbounded success, which it -ichly merits. Grareaeud ltaee. New York, Sept. 20. Weather fine and track first-class.
